0.1.0 — initial release

• Add an NPC to Outward as plain data: a consumer describes placement, appearance, dialogue, and (if the NPC is a trainer) the skills it sells, and StoryKit builds the character, spawns it at a fixed spot, and wires the conversation — no custom UI, no NodeCanvas hand-editing.
• NpcDirector spawns the registered NPC at player-ready on every scene load — master-only in co-op, duplicate-safe.
• DialogueBuilder compiles a described conversation into a real NodeCanvas graph, reusing SideLoader's own trainer dialogue nodes.
• A described skill tree compiles and sells from the vanilla Trainer window — no custom shop UI.
• NPCs, trainers, and dialogue only. No quest/story-event authoring API in this release.
