memory: record reference-photography gap closure + Commons rate-limit gotcha

 - **Input assets were pruned from the pak.** The Enhanced Input assets under `/Game/Input` were only soft-referenced at runtime, so the cooker excluded them (cook `ReferencedSet.txt` had zero `/Game/Input` lines -> all inputs nil at runtime). Fix: hard-reference via `ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder` in the character ctor (cooker follows hard refs) + `+DirectoriesToAlwaysCook`. Packaged log then showed `ctx=ok move=ok ... jump=ok`.
 - **Character fell through** the site: site meshes staged MOVABLE + PlayerStart far past the north sidewalk. Fix: STATIC mobility + explicit collision (QUERY_AND_PHYSICS/WorldStatic/BlockAll) and PlayerStart at Y -1200 on the sidewalk. Packaged run: `grounded=1 movement=Walking`.
 - Diagnose packaged runtime via the engine log (`.../Linux/GigLine/Saved/Logs/GigLine.log`); a headless `-nullrhi` commandlet cannot validate physics traces (even a spawned cube returns NO HIT there).

+## 2026-11-08 — reference photography gaps closed (local-only)
+
+- Closed the two missing reference angles for the hero façade, both from Wikimedia
+  Commons (gitignored deliverables under `Art/reference/`, provenance in sidecars):
+  - `el-capitan-entrance/` — `File:Hollywood El Capitan entrance.jpg` (+ detail),
+    Andreas Praefcke, CC BY 3.0. This is the isolated hero (6840) entrance/door
+    recess that the notes doc had claimed Commons didn't hold. Query that found it:
+    `--query "El Capitan entrance"`.
+  - `el-capitan-night/` — `File:El Capitan theater with Tron marquee.jpg`
+    (CC BY-SA 3.0) + West Side Story premiere (Adam Jones, CC BY 2.0). The theatre is
+    the building NEXT to 6840; treat as proximity evidence only, not the hero.
+- Commons throttles hard: HTTP 429 after a batch. Fetch fewer files with
+  `--delay`/separate calls and wait ~15-20s between runs (`queue.py` tool default
+  1 req/s is insufficient once rate limited).
+- Task was claimed on branch `ref-photo-0.1.2`; delivers only the TODO closure (all
+  actual reference files are gitignored, so no code branch content). Reported to
+  coordinator for merge/cleanup.
