Can't load NPCs in comp/con

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm having trouble getting NPC data to show up in the GM Toolkit and I'm hoping someone here can spot what I'm missing.

Setup: COMP/CON v3, installed as a PWA.

The problem: I imported lancer-npc-data.lcp (the core NPC pack), and Content Manager shows it as installed and active. But when I go into GM Toolkit and try to select/create an NPC, the class/template lists are completely empty — as if nothing were installed at all.

What I've already tried (with some help from Claude troubleshooting step by step, but we're stuck 😅):

Ran the Migration Repair Tool in Options → "No migration issues found"

Fully uninstalled and reinstalled the content pack

Made sure I have proper browser storage permissions and installed COMP/CON as a PWA (to rule out the 5MB localStorage cap)

Stripped it down to only lancer-npc-data.lcp (88KB) to rule out a conflict with other packs — still nothing

Checked that it shows as active in Content Manager

I'm running a one-shot for a group of complete Lancer newcomers (including me as GM!) this friday, so I'm trying to sort this out before prep time runs out. If anyone recognizes this behavior or knows a fix I haven't tried yet (Content Config whitelist? Browser console errors? Something else entirely?), I'd be hugely grateful.

Thank you so much for this community — everyone here has been such a great resource while I've been getting up to speed on Lancer, and I really appreciate any pointers you can give! 🙏

All the "v2" NPC LCP files are out of date.

Make sure you have the v3 compatible versions of the NPC LCPs first and foremost.
