+# Ren'Py AST adapter prototype
+
+This throwaway prototype tests option 2 from the Ariadne design discussion: use the target launcher's own Python and Ren'Py modules to load Ren'Py AST pickle data, export normalized JSON records, and let Rust import those records into Ariadne-shaped state.
+
+The prototype keeps Ren'Py internals outside Rust. Rust consumes only adapter JSON.
+
+## Shape tested
+
+```text
+.rpyc slot
+  -> bundled Python adapter
+  -> normalized AST JSON records
+  -> Rust State { nodes, edges, pending }
+```
+
+The Rust state mirrors the current design sketch:
+
+```rust
+State {
+    nodes: Map<NodeKey, Node>,
+    edges: Map<NodeKey, Set<NodeKey>>,
+    pending: Vec<Operation>,
+}
+```
+
+## Run
+
+Run the adapter with the Python interpreter bundled with the target launcher. On NixOS, wrap that interpreter with `steam-run`.
+
+```sh
+steam-run /path/to/launcher/lib/linux-x86_64/python \
+  prototypes/renpy-ast-adapter/export_renpy_ast.py \
+  --renpy-root /path/to/launcher \
+  --namespace example \
+  --rpyc /path/to/script.rpyc \
+  --slot 1 \
+  --output /tmp/ariadne-renpy-ast-export.json
+
+cargo run --manifest-path prototypes/renpy-ast-adapter/Cargo.toml -- \
+  /tmp/ariadne-renpy-ast-export.json
+```
+
+Use local ignored paths for target-game files. Do not commit generated exports.
+
+## Early observation
+
+Ren'Py AST can contain multiple nodes with the same source file and line. Examples include transition/display nodes sharing a physical source line, and slot 2 translation wrappers around `Say` nodes.
+
+The prototype therefore adds a per-source-location `occurrence` field to `NodeKey`. This is evidence for revisiting whether Ariadne's final source key needs a similar disambiguator when AST ingestion is used.
