From 5e2a1328276916e8afcc9f8b5c881bf232d7f722 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sienna Meridian Satterwhite Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 14:45:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: update README for v0.3.0 Added "What's New in v0.3" section covering species, concepts, sub_concepts, concept_comparison, template species inheritance, and life arc field requirements.
