Patch notes
FutureMUD Engine 2.8.0
Adds exact tag-ID masks to Feature Rectangle autobuilding so planner exports remain safe across duplicate and renamed tags.

Upgrade note: Apply the normal database upgrades before starting Engine 2.8.0. When using the hosted Terrain Planner, upgrade it to 2.1.0 at the same time: its feature masks now use numeric tag IDs. Terrain masks are unchanged.
Exact Tags For Feature Rectangle
Feature Rectangle now accepts an explicit mask of positive framework tag IDs. A cell remains a comma-separated entry, and multiple tags in that cell are separated by |; for example, 101|102,103,,104.
The Engine resolves each ID before creating its cell, applies that exact framework tag, and still supplies the tag name to the selected room template's descriptive rules. This avoids ambiguity when multiple hierarchy branches share a short tag name and protects a saved planner mask from later tag renames.
Builders can obtain IDs with tag list, then use the mask as the final argument to cell new "Feature Rectangle" .... Name-based masks are no longer accepted by that explicit template, so convert any hand-written mask before running it.
Use /downloads for release archives and checksums, /getting-started for installation requirements, and /docs/commands for the published Engine reference.
