Trigger: when converting RunUO Item, Mobile, or BaseCreature subclasses to ModernUO. Most common migration task.
Covers: complete item/creature conversion combining serialization, timers, properties, naming.

# RunUO -> ModernUO Item/Mobile/Creature Migration
## When This Activates
- Converting any `Item` subclass from RunUO
- Converting any `Mobile`/`BaseCreature` subclass
- This is the most common migration task -- combines all other systems
## Item Conversion Checklist
1. [ ] Foundation: file-scoped namespace, `using ModernUO.Serialization;`
2. [ ] Class: add `[SerializationGenerator(N, false)]` (N = old version + 1, `false` if old `Deserialize` used `ReadInt()`), add `partial`
3. [ ] Fields: `m_X` -> `[SerializableField(N)] _x` with `[SerializedCommandProperty]`
4. [ ] Add `[InvalidateProperties]` where RunUO setter called `InvalidateProperties()`
5. [ ] Delete: Serial constructor, Serialize, Deserialize
6. [ ] `[Constructable]` -> `[Constructible]`
7. [ ] `Name = "text"` -> `public override string DefaultName => "text";`
8. [ ] Timers: nested class -> `Timer.StartTimer()` + `TimerExecutionToken` + `[AfterDeserialization]` + `OnAfterDelete`
9. [ ] Properties: `GetProperties(ObjectPropertyList)` -> `GetProperties(IPropertyList)`, apply string hole rule
10. [ ] Context menus: `List<ContextMenuEntry>` -> `ref PooledRefList<ContextMenuEntry>`
## Creature-Specific Changes
- `[CorpseName("...")]` attribute -> `public override string CorpseName => "...";`
- `BaseCreature(AI, Fight, 10, 1, 0.2, 0.4)` -> `BaseCreature(AI, Fight)` (extra params default)
- `Name = "text"` -> `public override string DefaultName => "text";`
- Expression-bodied overrides: `public override int Meat { get { return 1; } }` -> `public override int Meat => 1;`
## Anti-Patterns
- Using `_field--` instead of `Property--` (bypasses MarkDirty tracking)
- Forgetting `[AfterDeserialization]` for timer restoration
- Forgetting `OnAfterDelete()` for timer cancellation
