 ### Added
 
-- Added board-scoped variable support through `Board.Variables`, board `CustomId` scopes, and the shared `IHasVariables` interface.
+- Added attribute-backed board and component variable support through container `CustomId` scopes and the shared `IHasVariables` interface.
+- Added boolean, integer, float, and plain-string attribute value support.
 - Added variable identity metadata via `Variable.Id` and `Variable.Parent` so runtime updates and saved state can resolve variables unambiguously.
-- Added `Project.SetVariable(string name, object value, string scope)` for setting board-scoped variables from code.
+- Added `Project.SetVariable(string name, string scope, object value)` for setting board- or component-scoped variables from code.
 - Added `ArcweavePlugin.asmdef` to give the plugin its own Unity assembly definition.
 
 ### Changed
 
-- Updated `Project.GetVariable` to accept an optional board scope and documented the difference between global/project variables and board variables.
-- Updated variable reset and save/load flows to include both global and board-scoped variables.
-- Updated Arcscript parsing and runtime resolution to support scoped variable references in the form `boardCustomId.variableName`.

+- Updated the JSON importer to create scoped variables from eligible board and component attributes while retaining legacy board-variable imports.
 - Updated internal Arcscript state mutation to resolve variables by Arcweave variable id instead of by name.
 - Updated imported float variables to use `double` consistently across parsing, evaluation, and state restoration.

 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed interpreter results so Arcscript conditions are identified correctly.
+- Fixed the project viewer to use Unity's `EntityId` APIs on Unity 6000.5 and newer while retaining compatibility with earlier editor versions.
 - Fixed runtime application of Arcscript variable changes for board-scoped variables.
 - Fixed variable save/load restoration to target variables by id rather than by name.
+- Fixed `resetAll` to include scoped variables and exclude variables by stable ID rather than by name.
+- Fixed Unity variable deserialization so current and default values remain distinct.

-### Board Variables
+### Scoped Variables
 
-Boards can now define their own scoped variables in addition to project/global variables.
+Boards and components can define scoped variables in addition to project/global variables. In current exports, scoped variables are backed by boolean, integer, float, or plain-string attributes with a custom ID.
 
 - `Project.Variables` contains only project/global variables.
-- `Board.Variables` contains variables scoped to that specific board.
-- Board-scoped variables are addressed by the board's `CustomId`, not by the board name.
-- In Arcscript, scoped variables use `boardCustomId.variableName`.
+- `Board.Variables` and `Component.Variables` contain their scoped variables.
+- Scoped variables use the attribute's `CustomId` as their name and the owning container's `CustomId` as their scope.
+- The attribute ID remains the variable ID used by runtime changes and save data.
+- In Arcscript, scoped variables use `containerCustomId.variableName`.
 
 ```csharp
 Variable globalHealth = project.GetVariable("health");
 Variable boardHealth = project.GetVariable("health", "intro_board");
+Variable componentHealth = project.GetVariable("health", "hero");
 
 project.SetVariable("health", 10);
 project.SetVariable("health", 2, "intro_board");
+project.SetVariable("health", 5, "hero");
 ```
 
-If a board variable exists, ensure the source Arcweave board has a `CustomId`, otherwise it cannot be resolved by scope.
+Both the source attribute and its board/component must have a `CustomId` for the attribute to become a scoped variable. Plain-string attributes with null data import as an empty string.
