Quest database loaderKBVEQuestDB
A game-agnostic quest catalog. UKBVEQuestDatabase loads the shared questdb-data.json artifact into runtime quest defs — objectives, rewards, category, and chain — with ref lookup. Quest progress stays game-side.
Catalog, not tracker
KBVEQuestDB loads static quest definitions only — progress and state stay game-side. It mirrors the itemdb and npcdb loader pattern.
