COAL - YACL adapter

Renders every COAL-using mod's settings screen in YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), plus JSON persistence, load-time validation, and versioned migrations.

For players

Install all three side-by-side in your mods/ folder:

1. COAL — the abstraction layer that COAL-consuming mods depend on.
2. coal-yacl-adapter — this mod.
3. YACL — the GUI library that actually renders the screens.

Any mod that consumes COAL will use YACL for its settings screen once these three are installed together. Your config files land in config/<mod>.json and every mod's screen looks and feels the same.

Don't install alongside coal-cloth-adapter

Only one COAL adapter should be installed at a time. If you'd rather use Cloth Config, install coal-cloth-adapter instead of this one.

For mod authors

You don't compile against this mod. Depend on coal-api + coal-api-gui-<loader> at compile time; your users install whichever adapter they prefer at runtime. See the docs for the walkthrough.

Feature coverage

Advertises MIGRATION, VALIDATION, and GUI_DELEGATION. Does not advertise SYNC, FILE_WATCH, JSON5, or CUSTOM_FORMATS — see the module README on GitHub for the full annotation-to-widget mapping and known limitations.
