+* Retry tag-only ore and fluid hosts after Forge loads the world's tags,

+### Material groups and source policies

+Provider schema 5 may add a `material` ID to an ore. Otherwise OreSpawn infers
+the material only from exact loaded block tags under `*/ores/*`; it does not

+then picks the selected output for a whole deposit. It does not give every
+output its own placement budget. External generators are shown for context but
+cannot be suppressed by OreSpawn.
+
+For a newly created world, two loaded ordinary MMD providers with the same
+exact ore tag start Balanced. A configured Sulfur or Lithium priority chooses
+the initial placement source; other conflicts use stable owner/rule-ID order.
+Missing providers create no phantom ores. Existing worlds retain their saved
+policy, defaulting to Keep Original on upgrade. Both global and world profile
+upgrades keep a backup; editing the global defaults in the UI is saved only
