feat(editor): add WCDF (Creature Difficulty) open catalog format Open replacement for Blizzard's CreatureDifficulty.dbc. Maps a base creature entry to its difficulty variants: Normal-10 / Normal-25 / Heroic-10 / Heroic-25 in WotLK raid format. Each variant is itself a separate WCRT creature entry with its own stats, abilities, and loot. When a 25-man party engages an instance, the engine looks up the encounter base creature's difficultyId, reads the normal25Id field, and spawns that variant instead. This is how Lord Marrowgar in 25-Heroic ICC has 30M HP and hits for 80k while the same encounter in 10-Normal has 5M HP and hits for 25k — same spawn point, different WCRT entries. 5-man dungeons typically use only normal10Id + heroic10Id (the 25-man fields stay 0 — engine falls through to the 10-man variant when 25-man is queried). World bosses don't scale at all (all 4 variant fields stay 0, engine falls back to the base entry). Cross-references back to WCRT — every non-zero variant id field points at a WCRT.creatureId entry; the base creature itself lives in WCRT too. Three preset emitters: --gen-cdf (4 example bosses with full 4-variant routing), --gen-cdf-wotlk-raid (4 ICC-style raid bosses Marrowgar/Deathwhisper/Saurfang/LK with all 4 difficulty variants), --gen-cdf-fiveman (4 5-man dungeon bosses with only Normal+Heroic 10-man set). resolveVariant(id, mode) is the engine helper. Validation enforces id+name+baseCreatureId presence, spawnGroupKind 0..5, no duplicate ids; warns on: - WorldBoss kind with non-zero variant ids (world bosses don't scale) - duplicate baseCreatureId across routes (only first honored) - all-self-reference non-WorldBoss (creature doesn't actually scale) - Boss with n25 but not n10 (raid sequencing typo — n10 always comes with n25) Wired through the cross-format table; WCDF appears automatically in all 11 cross-format utilities. Format count 74 -> 75; CLI flag count 936 -> 941. 2026-05-09 22:10:09 -07:00			`#pragma once`
