This directory contains the shared, runtime-independent tooling used by both:

• the standalone SER Blocks beginner editor;
• the VS Code extension and its visual-editor webview.

The SER plugin remains the source of truth. Its build writes ser_method_info.js; npm run build normalizes that manifest and produces both client artifacts.

Run these from Tooling:

npm run build
npm run verify

The build:

1. reads the generated SER manifest;
2. builds the standalone SER Visual Editor.html;
3. copies the same editor into the VS Code extension;
4. copies the shared language core and extension source into out;
5. copies the repository license and third-party notices into the extension.

npm run verify also checks generated-file synchronization, all local documentation files, JavaScript behavior, third-party notice coverage, and whether C# method implementations read every argument they declare (without reading undeclared names).

The tooling has no runtime dependency on the game server or SER internals.

SER Blocks is a teaching surface, not a complete visual API browser. Its maintained block vocabulary covers:

• event, command and manual starting points;
• common player targets;
• messages, healing, damage, items, roles, teleporting, and inventory;
• one-level decisions, random chance, short repeats, and waits.

Recipes demonstrate useful complete scripts, the side panel explains the selected block in plain language, and the generated SER remains visible. New SER methods stay available to the VS Code text editor without appearing in SER Blocks unless they support a clear beginner task.
