Add a localization key for the assist tooltip description.
RULEUCC_Guard selects Tooltips.assist. The tooltip renderer passes its description through LOC, but this value has no <LOC ...> key. Unlike the neighboring descriptions, localization packs cannot replace this text, so the guidance remains English for non-English clients. Add a unique localization key and use it here.

Correct the changelog wording.
The changelog targets players, but this entry has an unclear subject and inconsistent hyphenation. This can make the feature behavior harder to understand.

Remove the unreferenced q file.
q is a tracked snapshot of local Git branch output, including the current-branch marker. No repository source identifies it as an input, so it will become stale as branches change.
