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.

`2023-12-14`	jaPRO	`0bf81a8695ce` Since jaPRO added MV_OCPM and MV_TRIBES after MV_COOP_JKA, we have to shuffle some things around. MV_COOP was originally designed to support multiple additional physics than just jka, but this never panned out. Need to revert this change if that design ever makes a comeback.
