Applying a Damage to one target now runs DAMAGE_STEPS = [redirect, armor]
first. A damageRedirect aura (Bolf Ramshield, fetched from the wiki) sends
damage meant for its owner's hero to the oldest such minion; Armor absorbs
damage to a hero before Health, logged as the new ArmorLost{player, amount}
just before a full-amount Damaged. Four new Module 4 tests; propagated to the
references of Modules 4-10 in both tracks; card schema, catalog, card JSON,
harness.md, Lessons 2, 4 and 5 updated.

Module 5 reference engine (TypeScript)
The course's own engine as of the end of Module 5. Every card is now data: a JSON file in the course's card format (course/schema/card.schema.json), and the functions that were card effects in Modules 2–4 are gone. One interpreter turns effects into actions. Assemble builds a new card by replacing half of one card's text with the same half of another's. Module 4's reference was the starting point, so a diff between the two shows what this module adds.
cards/(at the package root; not in this directory): the card data. It is a copy ofcourse/cards/, the single source:tools/verify-references.mjsstages it next to the package, andtools/start-module.mjscopies it into a learner's workspace.src/engine/: generic machinery. Names no cards.card.ts: the card format as TypeScript types (CardDef,Clause,Effect,Target,Aura), and the library. Registering a definition compiles its clauses into triggers, auras and a spell's effects, and marks whether Assemble may offer it (minions with text that were not themselves assembled).TriggerOngainsendOfTurn, which card data may name (Drakkari Enchanter's aura does); the course has no turns, so nothing fires it.effect.ts: the interpreter: one effect plus its context in, actions out. The only code that knows whatdealDamage,draw,summon,assemble,buffHand, ... mean.assemble.ts:assemble(base, donor, half)(list surgery ontextatsplit; throwsAssembleErrorif the text is unchanged), and theassembleeffect, which asks the chooser for a base from the filtered pool, a donor and a half.queue.ts: as in Module 4, plus two actions (assemble,buff). An ability's effects are interpreted and performed one at a time, in printed order.world.ts: as in Module 4, plus card registration, cost, the chooser, andbuff.aura.ts,death.ts,event.ts: unchanged from Module 4.
src/content/index.ts: imports every.jsonfile incards/with Vite'simport.meta.glob. No card is named in TypeScript any more.src/harness.ts: the adapter the course tests call. Module 5 addsregisterCards,assemble,costandsetChooser.
Run it with the module's tests: node tools/verify-references.mjs 05 from the course repository. npm test in this directory alone fails: there is no cards/ here.
