Extends the shade_sprite module (for merchant-shade.itch.io character
sprite sheets) with procedural faction generation and asset management:
- FactionGenerator: seed-based faction recipes with Biome, Element,
Aesthetic, and RoleType enums for thematic variety
- AssetLibrary: filesystem scanner that discovers and categorizes
layer PNGs by type (skins, clothes, hair, etc.)
- TextureCache: avoids redundant disk I/O when building many variants
- CharacterAssembler: HSL shift documentation, method improvements
- Demo expanded to 6 interactive scenes (animation viewer, HSL recolor,
character gallery, faction generator, layer compositing, equipment)
- EVALUATION.md: 7DRL readiness assessment of the full module
- 329-line faction generation test suite
Assets themselves are not included -- sprite sheets are external
dependencies, some under commercial license.
