Story-sensitive examples stay hidden. Use Show spoilers when you want those requirements.
Partial journal guidance. Official manual material explains purpose and menus; detailed unlock examples are secondary guides with explicit edition and campaign scope. Unknown requirements remain unverified. No copied journal pages, fan-theory canon or game/save connection.
