This update is a focused, single-feature release: the **Multiple Actors** convention (§3.1.1) has been **promoted from the Combat Add-on into the core specification**.

### What Changed

Until now, attributing an action to a specific character — a companion, a second PC, or a named NPC — required loading the Combat Add-on. That felt like too high a barrier for something that comes up naturally in any solo game with more than one active character.

Starting with v1.4.0, you can use `@(Name)` directly in core notation to attribute an action to a specific actor. The bare `@` still means your primary PC, so there's no disruption to existing logs.

```

=> We're inside without raising the alarm.

```

The convention works for co-op solo play, games with a party, or any scene where a companion's action has its own mechanical resolution.

### Why Promote It?

Multi-character scenarios aren't a tactical edge case — they're a regular part of some solo play. Keeping this syntax locked behind an add-on meant users had to pull in combat-specific overhead just to log a companion's roll. Promoting it to core keeps the add-on focused on what it does best: initiative, round tracking, and HP.

### Compatibility

No breaking changes. Existing logs are unaffected. The Combat Add-on retains a reference to this convention and expands on it with enemy and group attributions.
