UE Procedural Generation

Target engine: UE 5.8. APIs below are verified against the 5.8 headers; older forms are listed under "Deprecated — do not use".

Covers the PCG framework (plugin PCG at Engine/Plugins/PCG, enabled by default, Build.cs module PCG), runtime mesh building with UProceduralMeshComponent (plugin ProceduralMeshComponent, module ProceduralMeshComponent) and UDynamicMeshComponent + Geometry Script (modules GeometryFramework and GeometryScriptingCore), instancing with UInstancedStaticMeshComponent/UHierarchicalInstancedStaticMeshComponent, spline-driven placement, and deterministic noise/random from Core.

Context

Read .agents/ue-project-context.md if it exists (module names, conventions, enabled plugins, GAS/networking setup). Do not stop if it is missing.

Identify the area from the request and the codebase. Ask only when two plausible readings would produce different code.
