# V5 Live-Service Tools

Validates the season-one live-service manifest against the existing online
service contracts for calendar feeds, faction reputation, balance hot-fixes, and
creator partnership surfaces.

Also validates the authored Year-1 live-service calendar feed, including four
seasonal-theme rotations, anniversary, charity, and console tie-in events.
Persistent online world events are validated from
`V5/live-service/year-1-persistent-world-events.json`, including the live-event
subsystem, Gang War Week, 12 one-week scripts, and settlement-backed world-state
mutations. Year-1 faction reputation decay is validated from
`V5/live-service/year-1-faction-reputation-decay.json`, including weekly decay,
neutral-tier protection, ledger/rival-lock reconciliation, and five restoration
mission arcs.
