Unreal Current Best Practices

Purpose

Apply current engine-native defaults without turning the task into broad process ceremony.

Guidance

• Prefer engine-native composition and asset workflows.
• Keep edits scoped to the requested role/task.
• Mention scene, prefab, resource, project-setting, or asset-import changes explicitly.
• Use local validation evidence before claiming readiness.

Validation

• Prefer project-local engine commands and Codex Game Studio project validation before readiness claims.
• Record unknown version-specific behavior as a risk instead of presenting it as confirmed.
• Keep this reference selected by relevance; do not load every engine reference for one task.
