Three categories: Sensory (eyes/ears/voice/comms), Neural (brain/reflexes/interfaces), Physical (limbs/muscles/subdermal armor/organs). recommended_min_level is advisory, not enforced — GM discretion. excludes_with is for hard mutual-exclusion pairs (e.g., Subdermal Heavy supersedes Light). Numeric fields the free-text parser cannot extract are surfaced as explicit columns: ac_bonus, hp_max_bonus, hp_per_level_bonus, speed_bonus, initiative_bonus, melee_attack_bonus, ranged_attack_bonus.
