CydandClaude Opus 5 6df309e9c4 Vehicles and hulls get the names the console gave them
The roster page called vehicles by their resource key and hulls by their
two-letter art code - PUCK, "Hull PA". TeslaConsole's RPConfig.xml is the
only place either is named in words, so it now supplies both: the card says
ARMADILLO with the key beneath it, and the hull says "Armadillo hull" rather
than "Hull PA".

The class comes from the picture the console showed for each machine, so
vehicles sharing a picture share a class, and each hull is named by majority
vote of the vehicles drawn with it - one mis-set picture cannot rename a
whole class. Which matters, because two are mis-set: the console shows a Bug
picture for Blacker Broccoli and Blacker Tarantula, while the game draws
them on the Mule and Bull hulls. The page says so on those two cards instead
of quietly picking a side. Every other vehicle agrees.

RPConfig.xml and RPStrings.xml are copied into tools/console-config: the
front end's catalogs already came from them by hand, the roster page reads
them now, and they were only living inside the airlock archive.
