 This repository contains the static Swedish web client for the AI-driven life simulator. The intended deployment is a small Nginx pod in the `ai-spel` namespace. The existing Rust service remains authoritative for accounts, game state, and all `/api/...` routes.
 
+Players provide a character biography, not a world description. The client asks the backend to create a biography-based starting place. It does not preview a person the player may meet; encounters belong to later world exploration.
+
 The browser and API stay on the same public origin, `https://ai-spel.k3s.k0.nu`. The ingress routes `/` to this frontend service and routes `/api`, `/version`, and `/health` to the Rust service. That keeps the current server-side session cookie same-origin and avoids browser CORS configuration.
