Added a selectable MVP character archetype enum, visible selected state, keyboard selection, and `AgrarianSelectCharacter male|female` dev command while keeping both choices on the same MVP survival baseline until real character art arrives.

• Add a visually verified packaged-client startup test using Sunshine/Moonlight or another real GPU desktop capture path, because QEMU guest-agent screenshots cannot validate the interactive rendered desktop.

• Define an AI privacy policy for gameplay: no private world state, player history, unreleased design, or proprietary economy data leaves controlled infrastructure for core behavior.
• Research local or self-hosted model options for optional narrative flavor, summarization, dialogue variation, tutoring, and planning assistance without depending on third-party inference.
• Keep core NPC decisions deterministic and inspectable through utility AI, behavior trees, state trees, planners, or GOAP-style task systems before adding model-generated flavor.
• Define model boundaries: AI may suggest dialogue, summaries, and candidate plans, but server rules decide legal actions, resource use, movement, safety, combat, learning, and economy outcomes.
• Add an AI memory compression design that turns raw events into compact private character memories, family stories, settlement history, and teaching notes.
