## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** The README calls this a from-scratch rewrite of the aspnet-mvc-live branch as a static site, with Leaflet 1.9 as the only runtime dependency. package.json requires Node.js >= 22.12.0, and its build script is astro build. The README says npm run build writes static output to dist/.
- **Testing evidence:** src/maps/faerun.ts ships a 4763 by 3185 image, tilesUrl https://loremaps.github.io/LoreMaps-Faerun-Tiles/Tiles, and metersPerPixel 1287.473. src/maps/got.ts ships a 4642 by 4642 image, tilesUrl https://loremaps.github.io/LoreMaps-GoT-Tiles/Tiles, and metersPerPixel 2266.681.
- **License:** The pinned tree has no LICENSE file. The README credits the Faerûn image to Pocket Plane Group and the Known World map to serMountainGoat under CC-BY-NC-SA. got.ts links the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 deed. Tile images are hosted outside this repository.
