com_journal
Base Jedi Academy
Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.
Engine-managed. The game maintains this value itself, so it is not a setting to change by hand: no registration exists; every cited site only writes it with Cvar_Set, so a value you set is replaced the next time that code runs.
Controls com_journal in the engine-shared module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

| Manually settable | No; the game writes this value. |
