docs(vehicle): the visual and physics bodies are different vehicles
SM_Vehicle_Body (hot hatch) is 150x400x122 (length along Y); SK_Vehicle_Sedan is 476x228x144 (length along X). They are built by different scripts and do not share a forward axis - the likely real cause of the reverse drive. MaxTorque sign was also a no-op. Next: reconcile the two meshes into one asset with one forward axis.

## 2026-11-10 — Vehicle: the visual body and the physics body are different vehicles
|
||||
|
||||
- `SM_Vehicle_Body` (the owner's **hot hatch** template, what the panels render) imports with
|
||||
bounds **150 x 400 x 122 cm** — its length is along **Y**. `SK_Vehicle_Sedan` (the procedural
|
||||
sedan that the Chaos solver drives) is **476 x 228 x 144** with the length along **X**. They
|
||||
are built by different scripts (`vehicle_from_template.py` vs `vehicle_build.py`) and do not
|
||||
even share a forward axis.
|
||||
- This is almost certainly the real story behind the "reverse" drive: the solver applies the
|
||||
drive force forward on the skeletal sedan (+X) while the visible car's nose is on a different
|
||||
axis, so a forward physics motion reads as a sideways/backward car. `MaxTorque = -500` was also
|
||||
a no-op (the torque curve normalises the magnitude), ruling out the engine torque sign.
|
||||
- Next step is not more solver tracing: reconcile the two meshes — drive the **hot hatch** (make
|
||||
it skeletal, or rebuild `SK_Vehicle_Sedan` to match the hot hatch's axis and dimensions) so the
|
||||
visible and physics cars are one asset with one forward axis.
