frontage: south block frontage, plus the placement bug it exposed
Adds the five remaining verified south-side buildings to the demo block (6922, 6902, 6838 El Capitan Theatre, 6822 Budget, 6806-6820, 6800 Lee Drug), exported in place from the OSM blockout by Tools/export_block_frontage.py, imported to /Game/Hollywood/Frontage/ and staged by the demo builder with the look material set (stone for the theatres, stucco for the retail run). Adding neighbours exposed a pre-existing placement bug that was invisible while the hero facade stood alone in an empty field: - UE south is +Y here (south sidewalk Y +718..+1447), but the hero sat at Y -1450 on the NORTH side of the street. - It was also at X -12024..-9420, 26 m east of the 6840 footprint; the frontage gap between 6902 and 6838 is X -14591..-12082. - The two north-side buildings were on the SOUTH side, because their exporter mirrored Y. Fixes: hero moved to X -13336 / Y +1307, inside its frontage gap; the frontage and north-building exporters no longer apply a Y mirror (the FBX preset already lands Blender -Y south on UE +Y south); player start and demo cameras moved to the north sidewalk looking south; sun raised to pitch -62 so both frontages read instead of the north side silhouetting. Result: the demo is a street - continuous south frontage with the hero in it, both sidewalks, the road with the designated crossing, and the north-side buildings across the road. Screenshots re-rendered and approved by the owner. Squash of branch frontage-block-0.1.0 (PR #6).

- [x] Keep the character as a reusable NPC prefab: a visible body, a collision capsule, and a head-height check that the camera does not clip at 1.60 m — for when NPCs/pedestrians are wired in (`0.2.0+`), not the `0.1.0` player. Done 2026-11-07: `AGigLineNPCPerson` (C++), ACharacter with capsule half-height 83 cm / total 1.66 m (head at ~1.66 m, so a 1.60 m camera does not clip), the MPFB human on the built-in mesh as the visible body, `AutoPossessAI` for pedestrians; confirmed spawned feet-on-Z-0 and rendered in `Screenshots/review-npc-prefab` (☑ approved 2026-11-07).

- [x] Screenshots use stable camera names (no index prefix), so inserting a shot no longer renumbers/ orphans files; `AGigLineShotActor` + `Screenshots/README.md` updated.

- [x] Establish a consistent scale test, named export presets, and repeatable import settings. Scale test = the three-cube calibration scene (`Art/blender/scaletest/`, regenerable via `Tools/scale_test_export.py`); named export preset `ue_metric_v1` (FBX settings in that script); named import preset `ue_metric_v1` (`FbxImportUI` settings in `Tools/ue_scale_test_import.py`). Both scripts are the templates for production asset export/import.

- [A] Collect reference photography for manual façade work. Local only, never committed: `Art/reference/` is gitignored. **72 images in eleven folders**: hero façades to 4k, the El Capitan Theatre exterior series, premiere-night staging, Ovation Hollywood, the north side, and the Lee Drug neighbour. Gaps largely closed by the Flickr/web-search pass: the hero entrance is now documented (three portals with individual short flights — the inherited "eight steps, 12 m wide" is overturned), and the 6806–6822 retail run appears in an oblique 2013 frame. Still missing: a clean isolated frame of the door recess and a night frame of 6840 itself.

- [x] Download reference photography for the two north-side buildings inside the 50 m buffer — TCL Chinese Theatre (OSM way 424105908, 6925 Hollywood Blvd) and Madame Tussaud's (way 424105889, 6933 Hollywood Blvd). Done 2026-11-06 with `Tools/commons_fetch.py` against the Wikimedia Commons API: eleven frames in the local `Art/reference/north-chinese/` and `Art/reference/north-tussauds/`, provenance in each `sidecar.json`, nothing committed.

- [x] Model hero façade for the El Capitan Entertainment Centre site. **Second pass built 2026-11-07** (proportions recalibrated from the 2009 photograph: entablature 3.4 m, parapet 2.2 m, architrave and cornice bands, square pedestals — the first pass had 5.7 m of blank wall above the capitals and read as a warehouse). **First pass built 2026-11-07** (`Tools/hero_facade_build.py` → `Art/blender/hero/hero-facade-2026-11-07.blend` + JSON part report with evidence per part → `Tools/ue_hero_facade_import.py` → `/Game/Hollywood/ElCapitan/SM_HeroFacade`, 1892 tris, 4 materials, placed on the measured building line). Six columns at 4.96 m over the 25.75 m frontage, plinth, three portal flights (5 risers, not the old 8), entablature 2.2 m, parapet 1.6 m with motto band and medallions. **Screenshot approved** (`Screenshots/review-hero-portals`, `review-hero-facade-front/oblique`). Next pass: banner and window placement, then materials.

- [x] Model surrounding block frontage. **Done 2026-11-07, screenshots approved.** The five remaining south-side buildings verified for the block (`Geo/verification/2026-11-06-el-capitan-block.md`) are exported in place from the OSM blockout by `Tools/export_block_frontage.py` -> `Tools/ue_import_block_frontage.py` -> `/Game/Hollywood/Frontage/`, and staged by the demo builder: 6922, 6902, 6838 El Capitan Theatre, 6822 Budget, 6806-6820, 6800 Lee Drug. **Adding them exposed a pre-existing placement bug**: UE south is +Y (the south sidewalk is Y +718..+1447) but the hero facade sat at Y -1450 (north side) and X -12024..-9420, i.e. 26 m east of its own footprint and on the wrong side of the street; the two north-side buildings were likewise on the south side. The hero is now at X -13336 / Y +1307 (inside the frontage gap between 6902 and 6838) and the north buildings are back on the north side (Y -1802..-9431). The sun was raised to pitch -62 so both frontages read instead of one being silhouetted.

- [x] Model simplified background buildings directly across Hollywood Boulevard. Done 2026-11-07, the two in-scope north-side buildings — TCL Chinese Theatre (SM_TCL_Chinese_Theatre) and Madame Tussaud's (SM_Madame_Tussauds) — taken from the verified OSM blockout volumes and exported with `ue_metric_v1`, with a Y-mirror so they land north of Hollywood Blvd across the street from the hero (TCL spans Unreal Y 1802..9431, Tussaud's 1888..7586; road centreline ≈ 0, hero façade at Y −1450). Staged in the DemoMap as `North_TCL_Chinese` / `North_Madame_Tussauds`; demo shot `review-03-demo-north-buildings` captured. Simple flat facade materials (surfaces are the `0.1.4` patch).

- [A] Build sidewalks, roads, and collision meshes. Terrain, road, sidewalks and kerbs exist (`Art/blender/terrain/`, `street/`) and are assembled in `site/site-2026-11-06.blend`; collision and details (crossing markings, kerb radii, aprons) are not built. Ground must follow the DEM: 3.94 m fall along the block, ~2 % crown between the gutters at ±10–11 m from the centreline, north sidewalk higher than south. Kerb height is an unresolved assumption — the DEM does not resolve it (`Geo/verification/2026-11-06-cross-sections.md`).

||||
- [x] Materials and look development for all exported assets. **Done 2026-11-07, screenshots approved.** every exported surface now carries a look-developed material built procedurally in `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py` (`ensure_material`): base colour with a world-space noise blend between two shades for large-scale variation, plus an explicit roughness and specular. Set is `M_Asphalt` 0.92, `M_Concrete` 0.88, `M_KerbConcrete` 0.85, `M_Ground` 0.98, `M_RoadPaint` 0.62, `M_FacadeStone` 0.72 (hero façade) and `M_Stucco` 0.86 (TCL, Tussaud's), assigned by mesh and by actor label. Materials are rebuilt on every run so a stale asset cannot mask a look change. The richer texture-based pass (baked/procedural brick, brick_facade and seamless_concrete generators) stays in the `0.1.4` façade patch.
