refactor(packages): 0.R5 - the rest of the lazy starts are defaults - hints' rail (sized by hints_config), lab's CRC table, rpg's crafting / items / inventory / quests / dialog, shooter's weapons, prefs, and npc's and gameplay's empty ensures gone; gameplay's faction table sits beside its state, since a default names only what is declared before it; --tighten over their tests and examples
