Sakalti 1.08 - Itsulite / TAIGA integration audit (updated 2026-10-17)

- Itsulite's material trait remains sakalti:itsulic_nihilism.
- ItsulicNihilismModifier executable bytecode uses com.sakalti.modifier.SoulEaterData for persistent kill/bonus data. ASM remapping was applied and the class was re-emitted with a fresh constant pool; stale TAIGA inner-class metadata was removed.
- TAIGA is not declared as a mandatory dependency in META-INF/mods.toml. Mantle and Tinkers' Construct remain mandatory.
- Existing Itsulite textures, tool material model, TCon material definition/stats/traits, and Constructs Armory armor textures were preserved.
- The supplied 1.16.5.jar is the vanilla Minecraft client/resource JAR, not TAIGA; original TAIGA source files were not available in that upload.
- Static verification only. No Forge game launch was run; in-game behavior still needs testing with the exact Forge 36.2.42 and TCon/Mantle versions.
