Important distinctions

• A Rift is a playable game/world/experience. A scene is one authored world inside its project.
• An object is a scene entity. A component adds one focused part of its appearance or behavior.
• A draft revision can change. A published version is an immutable, validated bundle.
• A Visual controls appearance. A Collider controls solid or sensor bounds. Changing one does not resize the other.
• A capability is a registered safe operation available to controlled RiftScript; it is not browser JavaScript.
