+- What was implemented: Variable management UI with full CRUD in the project settings modal Variables tab
+- Files changed:
+  - `src/components/editor/ProjectSettingsModal.tsx` - Replaced placeholder VariablesTab with full implementation: add/edit/delete with inline forms, type dropdown (numeric/string/boolean), type-adaptive initial value input (number input for numeric, text for string, select for boolean), name uniqueness validation, delete warnings with usage count, colored type badges
+- **Learnings for future iterations:**
+  - The VariableForm uses a `handleTypeChange` helper that resets the initial value to the type's default when the type changes, preventing invalid state (e.g., "hello" as a numeric value)
+  - Initial values are stored as strings in form state and parsed to the correct type (number/string/boolean) on save via `parseInitialValue()`
+  - Type badges use distinct colors: blue for numeric, green for string, purple for boolean - making variable types instantly recognizable in the list
+  - The same form patterns from CharactersTab apply: inline form within the list for editing, appended form below the list for adding
+  - No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
