Phase 3: The Nexus Uplink & System Safety

Unified Changelog Phase 3:

The Nexus Uplink & System Safety (Latest Build: April 29, 2026)

This phase added all cloud-based intelligence, deep-dependency mapping, and critical safety/maintenance tools.

New Features: Cloud & Metadata (NexusManager.tsx, ArchitectHub.tsx)

Cloud Directive Management (The Nexus): Implemented the full UI for viewing, injecting, and purging global conflict directives from the logical_conflicts cloud table.
- Allows adding new conflict rules, defining Tier 4 (FATAL) or Tier 3 (TUNING) severity ranks.
Mass Ingestion Protocol: Added the ability to bulk-upload local, unverified mod signatures (DNA Hash) to the cloud network for official identity assignment (massIngestToCloud).
Advanced Relationship Mapping: Implemented core functions for linking mods in the cloud database:
- designateTwin: Permanently links related files (e.g., a .package and a required script).
- establishBond: Defines an artifact as a dependency or an addon to a parent mod.
- establishFlavors: Groups multiple competing versions of a mod ("flavors") so they can be managed as a single conflict group.
Custom Content Registry (CCRegistry): Added a registry tool for viewing and editing metadata (author, name, image URL) for Custom Content items in the mods cloud table.

Full Backup System: Introduced comprehensive archival tools using Zstd compression:
- backup_universe: Archives your game's World State (Saves and Tray folders).
- backup_engine_full: Archives core game files (Bin, Data, Delta).
- restore_game_data: Restores archives to the target directories.
Backup Management: Functions to list, rename, and delete existing backups (get_backups, delete_backup, rename_backup).
Mod Lab Queue (Diagnostics): Added a workflow for testing mods in isolation (executeHotSwap).
- Automatically isolates the active Mods folder (evacuate_to_shelter).
- Launches the game and starts scanning logs (scan_game_logs) for fatal errors.
- Concludes the test, marks the mod as VERIFIED or BROKEN in the cloud, and restores the bunker (repopulate_from_shelter).
