-# Temporary Holding Version

-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+# Brass Lantern intent server
+
+`@brass-lantern/server`: maps loose player input (“pocket my billfold”) onto your game’s verbs and IDs with Gemini. The model only classifies; it never writes story text.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm i @brass-lantern/server express
+```
+
+Node 24 or later. `express` 5 is an optional peer, needed only for the router; TypeScript users of `@brass-lantern/server/express` also want `@types/express` (`npm i -D @types/express`).
+
+## Use
+
+```ts
+import express from 'express';
+import { intentRoute } from '@brass-lantern/server/express';
+
+const app = express();
+app.set('trust proxy', 'loopback'); // behind a reverse proxy on the same machine
+app.use(express.json({ limit: '32kb' }));
+app.use('/api', intentRoute({ apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_KEY! }));   // POST /api/parse-intent
+```
+
+Then give the game `intentEndpoint: '/api/parse-intent'`. Not on Express? `parseIntent(input, context, { apiKey })` from `@brass-lantern/server` is the same thing as a function. Both accept `models` (empty means the defaults), `timeoutMs` and, for the route, `rateLimitPerMinute` (a positive number; anything else throws when the route is built).
+
+The package reads no environment variables: you pass the key in. Keep it on the server, and never give it a `VITE_` name, which Vite would inline into the public bundle. Behind Apache or nginx, set `trust proxy` as above; otherwise every request seems to come from the proxy and all your players share one rate-limit bucket. The route sets no CORS headers, on purpose.
+
+## Docs
+
+[Using the library](https://mrballistic.github.io/brass-lantern/guide/using-the-library) is the guide for all three packages; the [docs](https://mrballistic.github.io/brass-lantern/) cover worlds, story files and the intent server.
