About Lathe
Builds what the game designers design — the headless rules engine behind the Value-First games: the run state machine, the resource economy, trap injection and reveal, endings, and the calibration harness. Guards seeded determinism so the same inputs always produce the same run, and keeps the shared game spine pure logic that every game door can render.
