Generated by scripts/gen_packet_index.sh from

file by hand — rerun the generator after touching any of those files.
This is the index of the 56 packet types the engine exchanges between server and client. Per-packet detail pages (when they exist) cover sub-codes, field layouts, and validation requirements. For the wire-encoding primitives and handler conventions, see:
encoding.md—RCE_StrFromInt$/RCE_IntFromStr/ClampWorldCoord#/ length-prefixed strings.handler-conventions.md— soft-fail discipline, bounds-then-deref, iterator-during-iteration, handle-Null discipline.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| C→S | Client to server. Untrusted input; every handler must apply soft-fail and bounds-check disciplines. |
| S→C | Server to client. Trusted source; client handlers are reliability/latency-tolerance focused. |
| Both | Both directions implement a handler. Usually different sub-codes per side. |
| Unused | Constant declared but no live handler in either dispatch table. Candidates for removal. |
Per-packet detail pages live under packets/. When a page exists,
the "Detail" column links into it; otherwise it shows —. Filling out per-packet
pages is a per-iteration documentation task — see CONTRIBUTING.md.
