Limitations (from the README)

- Criteria are read and preserved but cannot yet be edited. See docs/scheme-criteria-codes.md for what is confirmed about the codes behind them so far, and what is still unknown. - Every edit needs two manual steps in Archicad, Export before and Import after, because no API reaches schedules. - Whether re-importing an edited scheme updates it in place or creates a numbered duplicate is not yet confirmed.
