This is a brilliant architectural move. Server-Driven UI (SDUI ) perfectly
complements the "Imperative Shell" pattern. By pushi ng the button definitions
to world.ui_manifest, the Game Master  gains complete control over what
actions the player is allowed t o take at any given moment, eliminating
frontend update deployme nts for new game features!
