Phase 2 of the Asset Bridge is built, so the documentation stops telling an
operator to install a GUI tool.
`v8.md` gains §9.1 and §9.2 — what the port cost, what it measured, and where the
base table comes from now. The measurement worth keeping: **67,496 rows in
290 ms**, which is exactly what UOFiddler's own `Ultima.dll` produced from this
same client through the converter this phase deletes. An independent
implementation agreeing to the row is the strongest check available that a format
decoder is correct, and it is not something a subtly-wrong one produces.
§17 records the four shapes the org lead settled before any of it was written.
Two departed from the recommendation: **the bridge always wins** (no source
setting — there is no version of that question an operator benefits from
answering) and **import is admin-triggered** (boot does not call the shard at
all).
`CLILOCS.md` is rewritten around that: where the table comes from, what arrives
and in how many pieces, the refusals — including the two the file pipeline had no
equivalent of (a client patched mid-import, and the base's exemption from the
vanished-source rule, which exists so an upgraded install is not asked to approve
a change the upgrade itself made).
`UOFIDDLER.md` loses Part 1 entirely rather than having it rewritten. What is
left is creature art, which phase 5 takes, after which the page goes away. `v3.md`
§8.6 keeps its reasoning with a note saying what superseded it, because the
argument for why the manual step existed is still the argument for why this was
worth building.

CLILOCS.md and SPAWN_ATLAS.md each explain WHY the operator has to supply
something out of their own client, but neither says how. UOFIDDLER.md is the
missing procedure: where to get UOFiddler, which two files in the zip matter,
which runtime it needs, where Cliloc.enu actually lives, the conversion, how to
point the site at the result, and how to confirm it took.
Verified end to end on a stock Windows box: UOFiddler 4.22.2 (Ultima.dll is
net10.0), .NET SDK 9.0.312 building the net8.0 converter, RollForward carrying
it onto runtime 10.0.8, and the site's own parser reading the output back.
Corrects one claim while doing it. CLILOCS.md said a UOFiddler GUI export
"works equally well"; it does not. Its Cliloc tab writes `Number;Text;Flag` --
three columns, flag LAST -- and parseClilocText splits on the first separator
only, so the flag is absorbed into the name and every item renders as
`quarter staff;0`. The parser already handles `number,flag,text` with the flag
in the middle, but a trailing `;0` is indistinguishable from a name that
genuinely ends that way, so this stays a documented `sed` on the operator's
side rather than a heuristic that would corrupt real names.
