+# New RPG Content Editor V2.1
+
+Canonical React + TypeScript content editor and API for New RPG (V2.1 branch).
+
+## Features
+
+- Load content types from `/api/types`.
+- Load selected content payload from `/api/content/:type`.
+- Edit raw JSON.
+- Save JSON back to `/api/content/:type`.
+- Serve wiki at `/wiki`.
+
+## Runtime
+
+- Vite dev server runs on `http://localhost:4170`.
+- API/app server runs on `http://localhost:5180` from `server.js` in this folder.
+- `vite.config.ts` proxies `/api` and `/wiki` to `http://localhost:5180`.
+- Override the API/app port with `PORT=<port>` when needed.
+
+## Content Location
+
+- Preferred: place content beside `server.js` at `tools/content-editor-v2/content/`.
+- Required image folder for `/api/images`: `tools/content-editor-v2/content/Images/` (capital `I`).
+- Optional override: set `CONTENT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/content` before starting the API.
+- Fallbacks remain for legacy layouts, but local `tools/content-editor-v2/content` is checked first.
+
+## Local development
+
+From this folder:
+
+1. `npm install`
+2. In one terminal: `npm run dev:api`
+3. In another terminal: `npm run dev`
+
+## Build
+
+- `npm run build`
+- `npm run clean:workspace` removes generated bundles/logs and trims backup history to a small recent set.
+
+## Scope guardrails
+
+- Keep files small and modular.
+- No cross-file autofix/migration tooling in V2.1.
+- Finish core CRUD + validation workflows before adding advanced UX.
