Add documented Sarim infobox library; optional verified fields

New page

This library provides consistent summary boxes for Sarim articles. Fields appear only when supplied;
missing data is never replaced by assumed game defaults. See each template for its complete parameter list.

{| class="wikitable"
! Page type !! Template !! Purpose
|-
| NPC || [[Template:Infobox NPC]] || Identity, combat and access summary for a Sarim NPC or a specific NPC variant.
|-
| Item || [[Template:Infobox Item]] || Item identity, properties, equipment and acquisition summary; use Infobox Bonuses for equipment values.
|-
| Bonuses || [[Template:Infobox Bonuses]] || Equipment bonuses using the exact sixteen-field Sarim item_info bonusOrder; all values remain optional.
|-
| Skill || [[Template:Infobox Skill]] || Skill overview and implemented training/progression conditions.
|-
| Activity || [[Template:Infobox Activity]] || Minigame, encounter or repeatable activity access and reward overview.
|-
| Shop || [[Template:Infobox Shop]] || Shop access, currency and purchase/sale rules; stock belongs in a separate verified table.
|-
| Feature || [[Template:Infobox Feature]] || Custom system or game feature access, behavior and progression summary.
|-
| Location || [[Template:Infobox Location]] || Area, dungeon or destination access and local facilities summary.
|-
| Task || [[Template:Infobox Task]] || Achievement, daily task or other progression objective with explicit family and completion rules.
|-
| Object || [[Template:Infobox Object]] || Interactable game object identity and implemented action summary.
|-
|}

== Authoring rules ==

* Populate only values supported by the reviewed game source or verified live evidence.
* Leave unavailable fields empty. Use explicit 0 and No only when those values are verified.
* Keep different phases, charge states, difficulties and world modes in separately labeled boxes.
* Use the item infobox for identity and properties, and the bonuses infobox for equipment stat modifiers.
* Keep full drop tables, recipes, stock lists and detailed mechanics in article sections.
* Give images useful alternative text. A caption appears only when an image is supplied.
* For several boxes on one page, <code>alignment=none</code> avoids floats. Boxes become full-width on narrow screens.

== Example syntax ==

This is syntax only; it contains no game data.

<pre>
{{Infobox NPC
|name =
|variant =
|location =
|hitpoints =
|attack_ticks =
}}
</pre>

== Programmatic generation ==

The management repository's <code>infoboxes/catalog.json</code> defines types, groups, labels and field keys.
<code>scripts/build-infoboxes call TYPE INPUT.json</code> creates a template invocation from reviewed fields and rejects unknown keys.
Generation does not verify claims or publish an article. Research and review must happen before an infobox is populated.
