Clade FOnline is a browser-based tactical RPG frontend and authority-simulation project inspired by the classic Fallout and FOnline games. It is written mostly in TypeScript. This particular repository is described by its author as a public evidence release rather than a typical open-source project. That means it is not meant to be reused directly, but rather to let outsiders inspect the real development history of the game after a rewrite made it safe to publish. The rewrite process removed restricted game-derived media, personal file paths, and private commit identities from the public commit history, so what you see here has been cleaned up before being shown publicly. The actual working repository, which holds the game's real assets and continues active development, stays private. If someone wants to restore the local media assets that were stripped out, the project points to a document called local-media-assets.md that explains how to do that. Before the maintainers publish a new snapshot to this public repository, they run it through a validation sequence. That includes a dependency install, an audit of what is safe to publish, a dependency audit, static checks, a build step, and unit tests. Integration tests exist too, but those are described as optional manual checks rather than something run automatically as part of the release gate. The README also links out to several reference documents covering the publication readiness gate, the history rewrite process itself, the local media restoration steps, and general project context. Together these suggest the maintainers care a great deal about controlling exactly what becomes visible to the public, while still giving outside reviewers a way to check the project's authenticity and history. Because this repository is explicitly not a reuse grant, anyone visiting expecting to fork it and build their own game should read the license file first. Its purpose here appears to be transparency and evidence, not distribution.
