Step 2 of 5 of the Asset Bridge edge → main cutover (docs/link/v8.md §16 row 9b).

Eight phases of work, five repos, and core changed nothing — because it did not need to. The
bridge is UO-specific, so it lives in Module-uo; ctx.uploads was already exposed to modules
(MODULE_API.md §"atlas art import"), so storing a sprite needed no MODULE_API bump. That is
the module system doing its job, and it is worth stating plainly rather than leaving as an absence.

What does come over is what the bridge made obsolete: server/tools/cliloc-export/, the
standalone .NET converter an operator used to run on their desktop against a UOFiddler-extracted
Cliloc.enu. Phase 2 moved that decompression onto the shard — the Mythic container is read by
BridgeCliloc.cs where the client files already are, and 67,496 names cross the bridge in 1.42 s
with no manual step at all. UOFIDDLER.md went with it (deleted in phase 3, two phases early).

Program.cs −140, README.md −64, clilocexport.csproj −26. Nothing in the tree references the
tool — grepped for both cliloc-export and clilocexport across js/json/md/yml, zero hits.

MODULE_API_VERSION does not move, which is why Module-uo's ci/core-ref.json can stay
pinned where it is and the Integration kit stays green through this cutover.

Verification

npm test on edge — 2,152 tests, 2,060 pass, 0 fail.

One note for anyone reproducing that locally: a dev tree with modules/uo installed fails
routes.manifest.json is in sync with the live Express stack and its routes.guards.json twin,
because the live stack then carries the module's routes and the committed manifests are core's
alone. It is a rig artifact, not a regression — run with MODULES_DIR pointed at an empty
directory, which is what CI does.

Step **2 of 5** of the Asset Bridge `edge → main` cutover (`docs/link/v8.md` §16 row 9b). ## Core's entire share of the Asset Bridge is a deletion Eight phases of work, five repos, and **core changed nothing** — because it did not need to.

`server/tools/cliloc-export/` existed for one reason: every modern UO client
ships its cliloc table in the Mythic container, and nothing in this stack could
read it — not the site, and not ServUO's own bundled `Ultima.StringList`. So an
operator installed UOFiddler, built this against its `Ultima.dll`, ran it over
their client and copied a 5 MB file to the web host, every time they patched.

Protocol 8 phase 2 put the decompressor in the shard plugin, where the client
files already are, and module-uo imports the table over the bridge. The tool has
nothing left to do. See docs/link/v8.md §9 and docs/website/CLILOCS.md.

Nothing in core referenced it — it was a standalone .NET console app under
`server/tools/`, and that directory is now empty.
