This page summarizes the current v0.9.5 workflow and keeps Early Access boundaries clear.
v0.9.5 assignment versus Runtime Bound state
Dreamcatcher v0.9.5 deliberately keeps the existing Assign/Apply workflow separate from the new Bind to Runtime… action. Assign/Apply can continue to write supported fields and traceable assignment metadata. It does not by itself mean that an asset is active runtime behavior.
For supported v0.9.5 cases, Bind to Runtime… promotes a generated asset into project-owned binding resources. Runtime Bound is written only after the target resource is saved, reloaded, and validated successfully. Conflicts use explicit keep, variant, or replace choices where supported rather than silent replacement.
Compatibility contract: updating from v0.9.4 does not convert old assignment metadata into active runtime bindings automatically. Existing project behavior remains authoritative until you explicitly review and promote a supported binding.
Reference page: this page is public-facing. It explains what the inventory means for users instead of expecting plugin-development knowledge.
