Pixi'VN History module

Official docs: https://pixi-vn.com/start/history — this skill also documents goBackMode and the real-world go-back/backlog patterns not detailed on the public page. It sticks to the public stepHistory API a game actually calls, not how it's implemented internally.

When to use this skill

Load this skill whenever a task involves: letting the player undo the last line(s) of dialogue ("go back" / "rewind" button), reading/rendering the narration backlog (a "history log" or "scrollback" panel), deciding how much can be undone after a save/load, or tuning how coarse/fine-grained "going back" feels (line-by-line vs paragraph-by-paragraph).

Mental model

Every time narration advances one step, Pixi'VN records that moment so the player can later go back to it. stepHistory is the module/singleton that manages these recorded steps: going back to an earlier one, and reading back what was shown at each one (for a backlog/scrollback UI). The manager instance is the named export stepHistory (re-exported at the package root, so import { stepHistory } from "@drincs/pixi-vn" works; also reachable as .history on the package's default export object).
