Addon Data Save/Load Probe

✅ Verified WBML-0001 WorldBox 0.51.2 build 719

Source inspection first showed how Political World intended addon-private values to be stored.

WBML-0001 tested the behavior in a real runtime.

Research question

Do PoliticalWorldAPI kingdom values survive:

write
→ save
→ fully close WorldBox
→ start a new WorldBox process
→ load the same save
→ read without rewriting

Verified environment

WorldBox:          0.51.2
build:             719
git:               build-719@5dec
NeoModLoader:      1.2.0.1
PoliticalWorldAPI: 1.14.0
WorldBox Modding Lab: 0.0.1

The Lab also confirmed these relevant capabilities at runtime:

kingdom.addon-data       YES
kingdom.addon-data.v2    YES
kingdom.addon-data.typed YES
kingdom.tags             YES
kingdom.addon-tags       YES
diagnostics              YES

Test values

int    = 170031
string = "PW_SAVE_PROBE_Ж_ß_世界"
bool   = true
float  = 1234.5678f

private kingdom tag = "save_probe_private"
shared kingdom tag  = "Lous12.WorldBoxModdingLab.save_probe_shared"

The marker:

WBML:0.0.1:TARGET

was used only to relocate the target kingdom after reload.

Phase 1 — immediate readback

The probe selected kingdom:

Iovalis

and wrote every value through the public PoliticalWorldAPI.

Immediate result:

int ............ PASS
string ......... PASS
bool ........... PASS
float .......... PASS
private tag .... PASS
shared tag ..... PASS

IMMEDIATE RESULT: 6/6 PASS

Phase 2 — full process restart

The game was fully restarted.

The new process reloaded the Lab and reported the same environment.

WorldBox then loaded:

save27 / map.wbox
Save Version 17

The Lab found the previous target again:

Iovalis
discovery score = 15

without a new WRITE operation.

Post-load result:

marker ......... PASS
int ............ PASS
string ......... PASS
bool ........... PASS
float .......... PASS
private tag .... PASS
shared tag ..... PASS

POST-LOAD RESULT: 6/6 PASS

Result

✅ Verified: for the tested environment, PoliticalWorldAPI kingdom:

• int;
• string, including mixed Unicode;
• bool;
• float;
• addon-private tags;
• shared kingdom tags;

survive a full WorldBox process restart and return with the same save.

Important evidence boundary

This result proves:

same save + new process → values return

It does not by itself identify the exact physical file/database that stores each value.

It also does not yet prove:

• party-private data persistence;
• language-switch float behavior;
• legacy API 1.1 → v2 migration in runtime.

Those are separate probes.

Related isolation experiment

WBML-0002 has now separately verified the two-save sequence:

World A
→ World B
→ World A
→ World B

with independent current-run signatures and a strict final gate.
