0.12.0 — 2026-10-12 — preview release

Milestone 12 packages the existing survival mod for local client/server testing. This release retains the gameplay and save format from 0.11.41.

• Ships the installable mod jar, a separate sources jar, installation guide, known limitations, release verification summary and SHA-256 checksums.
• Replaces outdated milestone-1 README instructions with current gameplay, installation, multiplayer, configuration and development instructions.
• Updates the Mods-screen description, which still described milestone 3.
• Uses the 0.12.0 movement protocol; update all clients and servers together.
• Includes larger islands, the open-ended seven-destination story, trading, research, automation, co-op and the collision/model refinements below.
• Retains the checkout's connected, graded coastlines and automatic conduit junction visuals. Story checks account for intentional terrain grading while requiring authored architecture, puzzle blocks and loot to remain intact.
• Preserves historical update notes in docs/DEVELOPMENT_HISTORY.md.
• Fixes pipe/cable corner, tee and cross meshes extending past their normalized bounds; removes overlapping opaque junction faces before packaging.

No additional gameplay chapter or release hosting is introduced. This is a preview release: live visual, network and modpack checks are still pending.
