feat(editor): add WMOU JSON round-trip authoring workflow
...
Closes the WMOU open-format loop with --export-wmou-json /
--import-wmou-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 26 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.
Each mount round-trips all 14 scalar fields. Three
enum-typed fields emit dual int + name forms:
• mountKind (ground / flying / swimming / hybrid / aquatic)
• factionId (both / alliance / horde)
• categoryId (common / epic / racial / event / achievement /
pvp / quest / class)
Verified byte-identical round-trip on the flying preset
(4 mounts spanning common/epic/achievement/pvp tiers with
full WSPL spell + WIT item + WSKL riding skill cross-refs
preserved through the JSON layer).
Adds 2 flags (630 documented total now).

feat(pipeline): add WMOU (Wowee Mount catalog) format
...
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's Mount.dbc +
MountCapability.dbc + MountType.dbc + the mount-related
subsets of Spell.dbc / Item.dbc. The 32nd open format added
to the editor.
Defines all summonable steeds: ground mounts, flying mounts,
swimming mounts, racial mounts (Tauren Plainsrunner for
druids), and class mounts (Warlock dreadsteed, Paladin
charger). Each mount has a summon spell, optional teach
item, riding skill prerequisite, speed bonus, and faction
/ race availability mask.
Cross-references with previously-added formats:
WMOU.entry.summonSpellId -> WSPL.entry.spellId
WMOU.entry.itemIdToLearn -> WIT.entry.itemId
WMOU.entry.requiredSkillId -> WSKL.entry.skillId
(Riding skill ID 762)
WCHC.race.mountSpellId ~= WMOU.entry.summonSpellId
(loose match by spellId)
Format:
• magic "WMOU", version 1, little-endian
• per mount: mountId / name / description / icon /
displayId / summonSpellId / itemIdToLearn /
requiredSkillId+Rank / speedPercent / mountKind /
factionId / categoryId / raceMask
Enums:
• Kind (5): Ground / Flying / Swimming / Hybrid /
Aquatic
• Faction (3): Both / Alliance / Horde
• Category (8): Common / Epic / Racial / Event /
Achievement / Pvp / Quest / ClassMount
API: WoweeMountLoader::save / load / exists / findById.
Three preset emitters showcase typical mount catalogs:
• makeStarter — 3 mounts (ground horse + epic flying
gryphon + aquatic riding turtle)
• makeRacial — 6 racial mounts (4 Alliance: Pinto / Ram /
Frostsaber / Mechanostrider; 2 Horde:
Dire Wolf / Skeletal Horse) with raceMask
gating per WCHC race bit positions
• makeFlying — 4 flying mounts spanning Common (60%) ->
Epic (100%) -> Achievement (280%) -> Pvp
(310%) speed tiers
CLI added (5 flags, 621 documented total now):
--gen-mounts / --gen-mounts-racial / --gen-mounts-flying
--info-wmou / --validate-wmou
Validator catches: mountId=0 + duplicates, empty name,
summonSpellId=0 (mount cannot be cast), unknown enum values,
speedPercent=0 (no speed bonus), flying mount with
requiredSkillRank<150 (player can't fly), Racial category
without raceMask (any race could use — usually a typo).
