3-Stage Baseline Container Architecture
Every game container contains 3 mandatory baseline stages:
- Setup Stage: Screen 1 (Start Menu & Options Modal; optional Character Customization Screen).
- Showtime Stage: Screen 2 (Primary Gameplay Viewport & Main HUD; optional Inventory, Merchant Shop, and Crafting Terminal modals).
- Shutdown Stage: Screen 3 (Session Summary, Death/Victory Cleanse, Save Data Flush, and Restart Menu).
