Covers UE5.3–5.5 on Windows: C++ modules, Blueprints vs C++, Gameplay Framework/GAS intro, Enhanced Input, Nanite/Lumen, packaging, and Unreal Insights. Use when the task involves UE5, UObject, GameMode, Build.cs, BuildCookRun, or packaging Windows. Not for Godot/Unity, engine-agnostic game design (gameplay-and-design), deep AnimBP theory, or UE4 Hot Reload/Cascade/legacy input. Never cook from OneDrive or Documents paths (MAX_PATH failures).
