World vs save: what happens when you edit
Save defaults to updating the template; syncing existing saves does not rewind plot.

World is template; save is progress
- New worlds are private by default.
- Start adventure / new save forks progress from the current template.
- Others playing your public world do not edit your bible text.
When you click Save world bible
If related saves exist, a dialog asks (default leans toward template-only):
- Update template only: new runs use new settings; existing saves untouched.
- Sync to existing saves: push world setting, constraints, tiers, style, etc.—without rewinding plot.
- Optional checkboxes: include cast table; include UI and system config.
