Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: codemp/cgame/cg_main.c:953
Attribution method: present-in-openjk-initial-source-import
Attribution confidence: high
Notes: Identifier is present in OpenJK’s initial Raven source-import snapshot. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

Later changes

These commits occur after the ultimate-origin introduction on TaystJK’s inherited first-parent lineage. Registration evidence is exact; behavior evidence requires a changed bound cvar reference or a changed registered command-handler hunk.

Date	Change source	Commit / subject	Evidence	Confidence
`2013-04-07`	OpenJK	`b319c52fd4ed` Major codemp cleanup. Ported modbase. Restructured VS2010 projects.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codemp/cgame/cg_main.c`, `codemp/cgame/cg_xcvar.h`, `codemp/game/g_main.c` and 1 more	`medium`
`2013-09-10`	OpenJK	`b8ba30ff20dc` Fix mistyped serverinfo cvars. Changed bg_altFighterControl to CVAR_SYSTEMINFO. Precache weapons on map_restart if g_weaponDisable changes. Fixes #376	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `codemp/cgame/cg_xcvar.h`, `codemp/game/g_xcvar.h`	`medium`
`2013-12-03`	OpenJK	`b12414718708` [MP] Improve cvar code a bit further. Based mostly on zturtleman/spearmint@778bce425a2e6b6860e9d5ec4c7fc736311f9351. With some changes for legacy support still (and extra cvars that should be allowed in mods, if the mods were incorrectly setting them). And also some other misc stuff related to OpenJK specific.	Changed an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/qcommon/cvar.cpp`	`high`
