🚀 What’s Actually New in v1.3.1?

💎 1. The Power of "The Seed"

In the demo, if you found a perfect character, they were gone the moment you closed the app.

Now: By using the --seed flag, you can share a specific number with a teammate, and they will generate the exact same names and ages on their machine. This is vital for game developers who need to keep character identities consistent across different builds.

📁 2. Pro-Grade Data Export

While the demo focused on "looking good" in the console, v1.3.1 focuses on Data Portability.

Valid JSON: We fixed the critical schema bug where years were outside the objects. Now, you can pipe the output directly into a web app or a game engine like Unity or Unreal without any extra parsing code.

Clean CSV: A standardized 5-column structure ensures that your historical data opens perfectly in Excel or Google Sheets for world-building spreadsheets.

🧬 3. Intelligent Chronology

The demo had "Period-Specific Realism," but v1.3.1 adds Logical Realism.

The age generation is now hard-coded into the export logic. When you generate a family, the birth years are mathematically consistent with the selected historical period, ensuring no "time-traveling" ancestors.

🧪 4. Automated Verification

The demo required manual testing.

v1.3.0 comes with a Python Test Suite. You can now verify that your name files, memory allocation, and output formats are working correctly in seconds. This makes it a professional-grade "production asset."

Summary: The "Swiss Army Knife" is Sharper

The demo was a character creator. Version 1.3.1 is a data engine. You have moved from a tool that shows you a name to a tool that delivers a validated, reproducible, and structured dataset.
