Show friendly names for a choice while the rules keep the short value.

Goal

Let the player pick Lantern guard or Lantern scout, while rules and scenarios keep using Guard and Scout.

The change

schemas/keeper.json
    "calling": {
      "label": "Calling",
      "options": ["Guard", "Scout"],
      "defaultValue": "Guard",
      "optionLabels": { "Guard": "Lantern guard", "Scout": "Lantern scout" }
    }
  1. Line 11 The stored values. Rules and scenarios use these.
  2. Line 13 optionLabels maps each option to the text the player sees.

declares optionLabels, but it has no options.
