## Overview

Aura Framework is a data-driven Unreal Engine gameplay plugin. A player controller applies pawn presentation and input; the documented input-to-tag flow drives gameplay systems, while separate branches support inventory, equipment, interaction, animation overlays, and UI. Experience/session transitions configure gameplay context. The README documents several integrations; source excerpts and the index confirm some concrete calls, but many subsystem internals were not sampled, so undocumented connections are omitted.

Main entry points: [`Source/Aura/Private/Character/AuraPlayerController.cpp`](https://github.com/vigneshwaran-48/ue-aura/blob/main/Source/Aura/Private/Character/AuraPlayerController.cpp) (Player Controller), [`Source/Aura/Private/AuraGameplayTags.cpp`](https://github.com/vigneshwaran-48/ue-aura/blob/main/Source/Aura/Private/AuraGameplayTags.cpp) (Gameplay Tags), [`Source/Aura/Private/Equipment/AuraEquipmentManagerComponent.cpp`](https://github.com/vigneshwaran-48/ue-aura/blob/main/Source/Aura/Private/Equipment/AuraEquipmentManagerComponent.cpp) (Equipment Manager), [`Source/Aura/Private/Inventory/AuraInventoryComponent.cpp`](https://github.com/vigneshwaran-48/ue-aura/blob/main/Source/Aura/Private/Inventory/AuraInventoryComponent.cpp) (Inventory)
