/attempt #743

Fixes #14

What

Research document covering all requested questions:

  1. Format comparison: Official Worldeditor (binary VB6), lambdaclass (read-only web), ao-libre (read-only community) vs OpenAO (JSON)
  2. Layer/blocking/triggers: Official editor model — all existing projects use the same binary format, none has JSON
  3. Live/collaborative editing: No project has attempted it — confirms the hypothesis that this is unexplored territory
  4. Import/export tools: None exist. Binary format is undocumented.
  5. License implications: Worldeditor is AGPL-3.0 (dangerous for MIT project), others are MIT/GPL

Key recommendation

  • Do NOT import code from AGPL-3.0 Worldeditor into MIT OpenAO
  • Consider a separate import tool project if community demand is high
  • JSON format is correct for web deployment
  • Live editing is genuinely novel — validated by research

Closes #14
