zwitschi 70c6e322e2 feat(hero): Ionic base and abacus, medallions onto the parapet face
Detail pass on the hero, all verified by measuring the built mesh:

- Column base moulding: a 1.36 m wide, 0.22 m tall cylinder at each shaft foot
  (2.00-2.22 m). The shaft previously started straight off the square pedestal,
  so the base never read in silhouette.
- Abacus: a 1.30 m square, 0.14 m thick slab over each capital. It takes the top
  of the capital zone, so the colonnade still ends at 9.70 m and the 53.1 %
  proportion is unchanged.
- Medallions fixed: they were built with the Z-axis cylinder helper, so the two
  'discs' were pancakes lying flat on the parapet coping (1.1 x 1.1 x 0.02,
  z 14.02-14.04). New disc_on_wall() helper rotates the cylinder 90 deg about X;
  they now stand 1.1 m across on the parapet face (y -1.32..-1.28,
  z 13.05..14.15).

Hero rebuilt (95 parts, 2420 tris, still 14.50 m), re-imported, DemoMap rebuilt,
screenshot set re-rendered. Part report records the new dims and their assumption
notes. Screenshots README notes the detail pass.

zwitschi fe8a23e5ee feat(tools): rephrase the concept studies as frontal building views
Owner instruction: show the building, its entrance, the neighbouring buildings,
front-on, and drop the close-up detail framing.

- Studies replaced: door-recess / entrance-wide / column-order /
  entablature-cornice / parapet-motto / window-rhythm / street-wall /
  banner-detail -> building-front, building-entrance, building-with-neighbours,
  building-street-front, building-front-oblique, theatre-front-with-neighbours.
- ANCHOR_SUFFIX now permits REFRAMING (step back, zoom out, widen the view) so the
  whole building can fit, while the architecture stays fixed; previously it pinned
  the camera angle to the reference, which forced cropped results.
- Prompts state 'exterior' explicitly (the entrance study otherwise produced an
  interior) and require sky above the roofline and nothing cut off.

Vision pre-check on the regenerated set: building-entrance and building-street-front
read as full-elevation frontal plates; the studies anchored on the tightly cropped
2009 facade photo stay cropped, because the model will not invent the parapet and
sky the photograph does not contain. That limitation is recorded in the study table
comment - a full 6840 plate needs a full-elevation photograph we do not hold.

Tests: 40 pass (study table assertions unchanged).

zwitschi abace2ad05 feat(tools): AI detail plates from the reference photography; fix floating windows
Adds Tools/facade_detail_concepts.py: generates architectural detail plates from a
local reference photograph through OpenRouter's image models. Spec-driven (eight
studies: door recess, entrance, column order, entablature/cornice, parapet/motto,
window rhythm, street wall, banner), never overwrites (writes -vN), writes a
.refgen.json sidecar (model, prompt, source photo, SHA-256) per image, and keeps
all output under the gitignored Art/reference/facade-details/ - local only, never
shipped. Stdlib only; http 429/5xx back-off; refuses to write a sidecar containing
the token. 11 tests cover the study table, prompt assembly, next-free naming,
data-URL decoding (both response shapes plus a refusal) and the local-only rule.

Measurement pass on the plates: the hero window panes were at Y -1.98, i.e. 1.44 m
in FRONT of the wall (Y -0.50) and ahead of the column line, so the glazing floated
in the colonnade instead of reading as openings behind it. Moved to Y -0.56; hero
rebuilt, re-imported, DemoMap rebuilt, full screenshot set re-rendered.

Docs: Tools/README row, Screenshots README known-issues entry now records the fix.

zwitschi 8851b2272e fix(hero): lift the colonnade into the photographed 50-60% band
Measured from the built mesh, the colonnade (columns + capitals) was 6.90 m of the
14.50 m elevation = 47.6 %: the entablature (3.40 m) and parapet (2.20 m) were
using 5.60 m of the height. Thinned both to 3.00 m and 1.80 m in
hero_facade_build.py, which lifts the colonnade to 7.70 m = 53.1 % - inside the
50-60 % band - with the envelope, motto band and medallions unchanged relative to
the parapet.

Hero rebuilt, re-imported (bounds 2604 x 1257 x 1450 cm), DemoMap rebuilt and the
screenshot set re-rendered for review. Hero part report updated (columns 7.45 ->
8.25 m, entablature 3.40 -> 3.00 m).

TODO: colonnade item closed. MEMORY records the FBX-vs-blend --out gotcha.

zwitschi 4832e66c00 fix(input): restore working controls + add input harness + build fixes
Consolidated from the qa-input-collision-fix-0.1.0 work, applied onto main so
only the changes main genuinely lacks are carried (main already merged the
walkable-demo/collision work independently).

- fix(input): populate the UE 5.8 FInputMappingContextMappingData
  DefaultKeyMappings field in ue_create_input_assets.py (the runtime reads
  GetMappings()->DefaultKeyMappings.Mappings; the script previously wrote only
  the deprecated 'mappings' array, so the cooked game had 0 runtime mappings
  and every key silently did nothing — in packaged AND PIE). Regenerated
  IMC_Default.uasset. WASD/mouse/Space/R/Escape verified working.
- fix(build): drop editor-only APIs that break the game target build —
  UStaticMesh::PostEditChange() (GigLineAssetTools) and AActor::GetActorLabel()
  (character ground probe). GigLine and GigLineEditor now both compile clean.
- tools: OS-level uinput input harness (input_emulation.py + input_test.py) and
  run_pie.sh for PIE isolation; document the PIE-vs-packaged input test in
  Docs/build.md. Removed the temporary SIM/EI/screenshot diagnostics from the
  character.

zwitschi 52b1212cf3 qa: make the demo walkable — terrain collision root cause, spawn, scripted QA
The reported fall-through was a misdiagnosis: the player never fell. The
imported Terrain_DEM had only a bounding-box simple collision proxy, so a
downward trace anywhere in the block hit the terrain at Z 819 (the mesh
bbox max) and the street sat under an invisible 8 m lid. Standing on that
box looked plausible, which is why it read as working.

- add UGigLineAssetTools (C++): force CTF_UseComplexAsSimple on a static
  mesh. UE 5.8 dropped bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision and Python cannot set
  the flag; the builder also saves the asset, since the flag lives there
  and a map-only save silently reverts it.
- spawn (-13336, -1150, 600): inside the carved corridor (the cut is a
  10.7 m half-width around the road centreline), lands on the road at 456.
- fix ResetToStart returning to the mid-air PlayerStart captured in
  BeginPlay: StartLocation is now captured on the first grounded frame.
- HighResShot 1280x720 instead of "1280 720", which is a multiplier.
- add -qaselftest: scripted walk/reset/pause on a core ticker plus a
  swept ground transect. Results: walk 746 cm/2 s with Z steady, reset
  0 cm from spawn, pause/unpause 1/0, transect 84 samples 0 holes.
- rebase onto main, keeping the frontage materials and placement fixes.

zwitschi fee26ade10 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.

zwitschi 62a41bf904 materials: look-developed surface materials for every exported asset
Completes "Materials and look development for all exported assets". Every
exported surface previously carried a flat Constant3Vector fill, which read as
plastic. ensure_material() in Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py now builds a
procedural material per surface:

- base colour blended between two shades by world-space noise
  (WorldPosition -> Multiply -> Noise -> Lerp -> BaseColor) for large-scale
  variation,
- an explicit roughness and specular so the surface type is readable.

  M_Asphalt 0.92, M_Concrete 0.88, M_KerbConcrete 0.85, M_Ground 0.98,
  M_RoadPaint 0.62, M_FacadeStone 0.72, M_Stucco 0.86

Site meshes take their material by mesh name; the hero facade and the two
north-side buildings take theirs by actor label, so they are covered even
though other scripts stage them. Materials are deleted and rebuilt on every
run, so a look change cannot be masked by a stale asset.

Result: the facade reads as warm stone with surface variation, asphalt as dark
asphalt with grain, concrete and kerbs lighter and matte, and the north
buildings in stucco instead of flat grey.

Screenshots re-rendered and approved by the owner. The richer texture-based
pass (baked/procedural brick_facade, seamless_concrete, glass, material
instances) stays in the 0.1.4 facade patch.

zwitschi accf3a5306 lighting: fixed daytime rig, real surface materials, dynamic lights
Completes "Fixed daytime lighting and basic ambience" for 0.1.0. All 14
screenshots approved by the owner.

Lighting rig (Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py):
- Sun pitch -50 / yaw 120, intensity 4, warm (255/245/230), atmosphere sun light
- Sky light 2.6 with real-time capture, sky atmosphere, height fog (density 0.008)
- Unbound post-process volume with fixed exposure (min == max brightness) so a
  shot cannot wash out or crush to black depending on how much sky it frames
- Dynamic-only: r.AllowStaticLighting=False plus MOVABLE lights and mesh
  components, so the editor's "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warning no longer
  fires and nothing needs baking

Bugs found and fixed on the way:
- Blender diffuse colours do not survive the FBX -> Unreal import: every site
  material arrived white and the terrain arrived with WorldGridMaterial, which
  is what actually made the scene look blown out. The demo builder now creates
  and assigns M_Asphalt, M_Concrete, M_Ground and M_RoadPaint.
- Only one of the three crossings reached the game: each zebra band was its own
  object, so Blender renamed the duplicates .001/.002 and exact-name site
  assembly skipped them. All bands are now one Crossing_Markings mesh.
- Demo cameras: street-level sat inside the facade body (rendering its unlit
  back face) and the crossing camera aimed at the s=36.6 crossing instead of
  the designated s=130.1 (UE X -14956).
- The terrain had no material and imported as a bright default grid.
- Cleared a committed Android File Server SecurityToken (plugin disabled and
  shipping-excluded; the value must stay empty).

Docs:
- Screenshots/README.md: one consolidated table for all 14 shots with map,
  camera view and description; all approved.
- MEMORY.md: records the material-import, exposure, light_color struct,
  band-naming, camera-bounds and lighting-build traps.
- TODO.md: lighting item marked done.

zwitschi c9e933376c review: restore character + cubes in ReviewMap, re-render all shots
Root cause of the empty review frames: EditorLevelLibrary.load_level/new_level
are deprecated no-ops in -nullrhi commandlets, so staged actors landed in the
current world and got saved over the wrong map. Switched both map builders to
the LevelEditorSubsystem and reordered the review builder to save ReviewMap
before the DemoMap section (the switch-back to a map that only exists in
memory silently failed, writing demo content over ReviewMap).

Rebuilt both maps, re-rendered every screenshot; user visual check passed.
Screenshots/README.md cube naming corrected (A grounded, B floating), approval
states updated; TODO.md visual-review notes closed. MEMORY.md records the

zwitschi bc2e421d33 gameplay: designated street crossing — zebra markings, corridor cut, up-facing street
- street_mesh.py: continental zebra markings (0.5 m bars, 0.5 m gaps, 3 m
  band) at all three signalised crossings, triangles not quads (FBX SDK
  refuses to triangulate the crown-twisted quads), stripes +6 cm above the
  DEM so they stay above the road surface; winding flipped so every street
  surface faces up (road/sidewalks/markings were 100% down-facing and
  invisible in engine once the terrain stopped covering them).
- terrain_from_dem.py: cut a 10.7 m corridor around the Hollywood Blvd
  centreline so road, kerbs and sidewalks are not buried under the terrain;
  sidewalks themselves cover the transition band, walk-check stays at 0 holes.
- Blender builders save with a writability guard + fatal failure: *.blend
  is LFS-lockable and checks out read-only; a failed save previously left
  downstream steps building from stale files.
- ue_import_site.py: Crossing_Markings imports with no collision (paint on
  the road); ue_build_demo_map.py stages it and chmods the lockable .umap
  before saving (save_map silently returned False on read-only maps).
- ue_build_review_map.py: demo-crossing camera moved to the real crossing
  (s=130.1 m -> UE -24291,-1340) and fixed the ensure_writable path (was
  missing the .umap suffix, so the chmod never fired).

zwitschi 985dfcbac7 npc: AGigLineNPCPerson prefab + stable-named screenshots
- New C++ AGigLineNPCPerson: reusable NPC/pedestrian prefab built on the MPFB
  human. ACharacter capsule half-height 83 cm (total 1.66 m, head top ~1.66 m
  so a 1.60 m camera doesn't clip), the character skeletal mesh on the built-in
  mesh as the visible body (feet on Z 0), AutoPossessAI for 0.5.0 pedestrians.
  Staged at Z 0 in the review scene; captured as review-npc-prefab.png.
- AGigLineShotActor now names screenshots by stable camera name (no list-index
  prefix): inserting or reordering cameras no longer renumbers files or orphans
  the old ones. Re-rendered all review/demo shots with stable names.
- ue_build_review_map.py: chmod the target .umap before save_map (git marks maps
  444 on checkout, silently making save_map return False and dropping stages).
- Screenshots/README.md, ROADMAP, TODO updated for the prefab + stable names.
- DemoMap.umap rebuilt by the render pipeline (north buildings + demo cameras).

- TCL Chinese Theatre (6925) and Madame Tussaud's (6933) exported from the
  verified OSM blockout with ue_metric_v1 (export_north_buildings.py), with a
  Y-mirror so they land north of the road, across from the hero facade.
- ue_import_north_buildings.py imports + stages them in the DemoMap as
  North_TCL_Chinese / North_Madame_Tussauds (TCL Y 1802..9431, Tussaud's
  1888..7586; hero at Y -1450, road centreline ~0).
- render_screenshots.sh now also runs the DemoMap capture pass; added a
  demo-north-buildings camera, so the new buildings get a review shot.

zwitschi c11cb4caa4 character: idle standing pose and warm skin, not the grey mannequin
- mpfb_character_export.py: new --pose idle folds the A/T-bind arms down to
  a relaxed standing rest pose (baked via pose.armature_apply before export);
  new make_diffuse synthesizes a warm skin-tone diffuse with a darker
  shorts-suggestive band, replacing the Cycles v2-skin bake that came out
  black and was slow at 1024^2.
- write_png now encodes from img.pixels via numpy (fast) because img.save()
  writes black for an in-memory image.
- Re-exported idle character, re-imported to /Game/Test/Character (138 bones,
  warm M_Character_Export/T_Character_Diffuse); removed stale T_Skin_Diffuse.
- Untracked the review PNGs again: the Screenshots/ gitignore rule had been
  dropped and the parallel session had committed the PNGs, against the
  AGENTS.md 'never commit the PNGs' rule. Restored the ignore rule; only
  Screenshots/README.md stays tracked.
- README/roadmap/memory updated; review-01-character re-pended for approval.

zwitschi e48a0cd82b docs: bring every document in line with the current build
README rewritten around the actual state (walkable DemoMap, blockout facades,
planned patches); Tools/README now lists all seventeen tools by role; build.md
gains the content pipeline table and the two enforced rules (one unit conversion,
collision decided at import). Setup gains a content-pipeline row, the toolchain
state notes the demo level exercises the engine path, release checks record the
Blender pre-check that backs traversal, PLAN points at ROADMAP/MEMORY/Screenshots,
and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES gains rows for the hero facade and the candidate props.

Also fixed the last stale reference to Geo/scripts in MEMORY.md - a sweep found
old paths in six documents after the tool move, which the memory entry now warns
about.

zwitschi cf392a02f7 gameplay: walkable demo map, reset and pause
Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py builds /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap: sun, sky, the hero
facade on the building line, six site meshes imported with collision, and a
player start on the north sidewalk. Tools/ue_import_site.py imports the site
FBXs; terrain, road and sidewalks use complex-as-simple so a simple hull cannot
ramp over the kerbs. Art/blender/site/export_site_fbx.py exports one FBX per
object so each can carry its own collision.

Reset (R) and pause (Escape) join the character and the input context: reset
restores the spawn transform and clears momentum, pause is a real game pause that
releases the cursor. DefaultInput.ini captures the mouse on launch.

Three placement defects found by measuring the imported actors rather than
trusting the plan: the spawn was on the wrong sidewalk because the FBX flip
inverts north, a mirror I added to the exporter double-corrected an already
correct sidewalk, and the street meshes only carry part of the north walk - the
rest is terrain.

zwitschi d4af4af90f hero: make the portals real recesses and land the facade on Z 0
The portal detail shot failed for a modelling reason, not a camera reason: the
doors were 0.1 m panels on a solid plinth, so they read as shading. The plinth is
now four piers plus a lintel band, with a 1.2 m reveal, stone jambs and lintels
standing 0.10 m proud and three mullions per opening. review-06 frames them from
8 m at eye height.

Two defects fixed while doing it: the jamb boxes hung 0.15 m below the pavement,
so the facade imported with min Z -15 cm; and a rebuild run against a read-only
.blend silently skipped the save, which is why screenshots kept showing the old
geometry.

zwitschi 386d4bee78 geo: one tool directory, one unit boundary, per-asset provenance
Geo/tools/ is now every geographic script, with Geo/README.md documenting each
one; the Blender-side builders moved beside their outputs in Art/blender/*/ and
import their helpers from Geo/tools/osm_common.py.

That module gains to_unreal_local() and to_blender_local(): the only place in the
repository that multiplies metres by 100, so a second silent scale cannot be
introduced. block_height_report.py adds height provenance for the block — 3 of
15 buildings have no height data and render at a placeholder 6.4 m.
asset_metadata.py writes and audits <asset>.geo.json sidecars; four now exist
(hero-facade, terrain, street, blockout) and the audit recomputes each centre from
the origin, failing anything that disagrees.

zwitschi 5e5e5ae9b4 refs: survey the sibling project and recalibrate the hero facade
Tools/sibling_asset_audit.py reads the sibling security-game project's prop
library straight from the GLB headers: 20 street props, 11.8k triangles, every
one with a Blender source. The 50 .blend sources are copied to
Art/props/blender_src/ with a manifest; nothing is imported into Unreal yet. Its
building meshes are deliberately not taken - they are Godot GLBs built around a
29.6 m facade that this project measured at 25.75 m.

The facade proportions were wrong against the photograph: 5.7 m of blank wall
above the capitals. Entablature is now 3.4 m, parapet 2.2 m, with architrave and
cornice bands and square pedestals, so the elevation reads as layered stone.

zwitschi e46a877556 review: split the rounds into named shots and stage the player pawn
Roadmap gains two sections: 'Review scene and player placement' (this pass) and
'Character development' (follow-on). The camera list is now one table of
(name, location, target) with look-at rotations computed from the pairs, so a
camera cannot drift out of aim when one number changes.

New shots: player-placement (the real pawn, staged in the build script),
ground-contact (knee height, feet on the plane), shadow-compare (floating vs
grounded cube from a low angle), and hero-portals (whole elevation).

The review floor grows to 160 m so the facade stands on ground rather than the
horizon band. Retired: the first-person shot.

Honest gap recorded in the roadmap: the hero portals sit behind the colonnade and
do not resolve from the review floor; that needs a camera on the plinth or a
portal rebuild, not another angle.

zwitschi 0383eabc8e review: put the character on the floor, split the cubes, commit the shots
The review floor was a 5 cm slab centred 50 cm down, so the character floated
1.8 m above it. The floor is now 90 m x 90 m x 10 cm with its top face at Z 0 and
the character measures Z 0..83 cm - feet on the plane.

Two cubes only: A on the ground as the contact/scale reference, B held at 2 m so
its cast shadow separates from the body for comparison. The scale-cubes camera
was still aimed at the old three-cube row and now looks at both from the south.

Screenshots are committed per the owner's instruction, and .gitignore no longer
excludes them.

zwitschi c5e30d1c36 feat: hero facade blockout for 6840 Hollywood Blvd
Tools/hero_facade_build.py builds the north elevation parametrically and writes
a JSON report naming the evidence behind every part: the 25.75 m frontage and
14.5 m height are measured, the 4.96 m column bay comes from the sibling notes
and matches that frontage, the three portal flights follow the photographs (five
risers, overturning the inherited eight-step, 12 m wide claim), and the rest is
labelled assumption.

Tools/ue_hero_facade_import.py imports it with the ue_metric_v1 preset
(2604 x 1257 x 1450 cm, 1892 tris, 4 materials) and places it on the measured
building line of /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap.

Two new review shots at review-04 and review-05, both pending approval. Camera
placement cost four renders: the first two sat inside the facade body, and the
frontage faces Unreal -Y, so a camera has to stand at Y < -1450 cm, not north of
the building line in project terms.

AGigLineCharacter: 1.75 m capsule, 1.60 m eye camera, 4 m/s walk, mouse look
scaled in degrees per second (no double DeltaTime), jump. Loaded ahead of a
Blueprint so the demo is playable with no assets wired by hand.

Tools/ue_create_input_assets.py builds /Game/Input headlessly: five 1D actions
and an 11-mapping context. One action per direction instead of per-key modifiers,
because modifier objects do not survive the save path here: a mapping's modifier
array serialises None, and dimensioning a 2D move with per-key axis masks would
need exactly those modifiers. The cost is four action assets rather than two.

Also adds a fourth review camera at eye height and documents it; its approval is
pending.

zwitschi bbb3e147b3 tools: visual-review screenshot pipeline
- AGigLineShotActor (dev-only): walks a fixed camera list in -game mode,
  captures via FScreenshotRequest, quits. Test content only.
- ue_build_review_map.py builds /Game/Test/ReviewMap from current content
  (gray floor, key light, sky, MPFB character, 1 m scale cubes).
- render_screenshots.sh: build map -> run game -> collect PNGs into
  gitignored Screenshots/.
- Screenshots/README.md (committed) describes each capture with approval
  state; AGENTS.md gains the visual-review instructions.

zwitschi 1c6b956435 bootstrap: finish project bootstrap — scale test, MPFB character, build docs
- Static-mesh scale test passes: 1 m = 100.00 cm, origin preserved, axis
  mapping east→+X / north→−Y / up→+Z (named presets ue_metric_v1 both sides).
- MPFB 2.0.18 acceptance passes: generated human + standard 137-bone rig
  with weights + v2 skin baked to 1024² diffuse; imports as SkeletalMesh
  with Skeleton, Material, and Texture2D in /Game/Test/Character.
- MPFB headless requires XDG_CONFIG_HOME at the Flatpak config tree;
  documented in Art/blender/README.md, probe in Tools/addon_compat_probe.py.
- Docs/build.md completed: fresh-checkout build, packaging, headless checks.
- Docs/setup.md reconciled with reality; ROADMAP/bootstrap closed out.

zwitschi 0dab597dc1 refs: Flickr + web search for the hero entrance
common_fetch was out of material, so an OpenRouter web-search call (gpt-5.2,
openrouter:web_search) returned candidate photo pages and page_image_fetch.py
resolved each og:image and downloaded it, recording page URL and hash locally.
Four frames kept, including the clearest entrance view yet.

The frames overturn the inherited 'eight stone steps, 12 m wide': the entrance
is three portals with individual short flights. Recorded as a resolved conflict
with the photographs as evidence.

zwitschi b8f5a062ac refs: pull the Commons categories for the Masonic Temple and El Capitan
A text search had stopped surfacing new material, so commons_fetch.py gained
--category. Category:Hollywood Masonic Temple and Category:El Capitan Theater
yielded 32 more frames locally, including 4-5k px frontal façades, a 2019
street-level shot of both buildings together, the 1922 postcard, and the first
oblique evidence for the 6806-6822 retail run. 68 local images total, none
committed. A clean sidewalk-level frame of the hero entry is still absent.

zwitschi 72de657202 docs: record the second reference pass and its gaps
Five usable sets added locally (hero daytime façades, the El Capitan Theatre
block, night premiere staging, Ovation Hollywood, and the Lee Drug neighbour) —
41 images total, none committed. Records what remains missing: a sidewalk-level
frame of the hero entry, the 6806-6822 retail run, and a night frame of 6840
itself rather than its neighbour.

commons_fetch.py now survives a throttled download instead of discarding the
rest of the batch, and takes --delay.

zwitschi cc209cde01 feat: assemble the site and pre-check walkability
site-2026-11-06.blend gathers terrain, street and blockout into categorised
collections: 281 objects, ~58k triangles. A downward raycast on a 1 m grid along
both sidewalks and the designated crossing finds no holes, so nothing drops the
player on either side. Two steps are flagged: 15.8 cm at the sidewalk's outer
terrain seam and 10-13 cm ramps at the crossing flush transitions, steeper than
a real 8% ramp.

Sampling is projected through PROJ: placing points with the OSM spherical
approximation put them metres off the UTM meshes and reported 91 phantom holes.

zwitschi d42e39faa9 feat: road, kerbs, and sidewalks on the DEM
Tools/street_mesh.py builds the corridor in the project frame from the measured
profile: carriageway -10.5..+10.5 m, kerbs 0.15 m (0.13 m as built), sidewalks
4.0 m south and 5.3 m north, all elevations sampled from the DEM. Kerbs flush at
the three signalised crossings. Crown at mid-block reproduces the cross-sections
to the centimetre.

zwitschi ece48649f5 feat: terrain mesh from the DEM, and correct the blockout frame
Tools/terrain_from_dem.py builds a 191x106 grid at 2 m over the block, Z being
NAVD88 minus the origin ground. Building footprints from the OSM extract are cut
out so rooftops never become terrain (72 footprints, 6310 cells). Spot checks
reproduce the measured profile: origin 0.00, Orange Dr +3.39, south gutter
+0.93, crown +1.38, north sidewalk +1.43.

Blosm projects with a sphere, not an ellipsoid, so its frame was ~0.4% oversized
and rotated by meridian convergence: about 2 m at the theatre. The blockout now
fits a six-parameter affine into EPSG:26911 on five control points (0.0 cm
residual) and transforms root objects only, since children inherit and double
transforming them read as a 2 m placement error.

zwitschi bf23a27939 feat: headless Blosm blockout of the demo block
Tools/blosm_blockout.py imports the committed extract in 3Dsimple mode and
reports per-building dimensions so a units failure is visible in the log. The
result (87 meshes) is committed as the blockout baseline: hero 25.68 x 54.88 x
14.50 m against 25.75 x 54.88 m of OSM geometry, so the import is 1:1 metres.

Two headless defects needed working around: the asset-directory check that
fires before mode is honoured, and an empty default-level table sending the
add-on down a broken relative import. Member fetching stays off so the import
does not depend on Overpass.

zwitschi 7a1eb0be66 chore: keep reference photography local and out of the repository
Reference images are development-only material: licensing is not a gate for
local private use, so they are simply never committed. Art/reference/ is now
gitignored; the licensed status of anything shipped is still recorded in
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

Adds Tools/commons_fetch.py, which fetches Wikimedia Commons imagery by search
or exact title and writes a provenance sidecar, plus Docs/reference-notes-hollywood.md
recording what each local set is evidence for.

zwitschi e95ba033be docs: correct the LFS trap and add Tools/check-lfs.sh
The lfs filter is inactive until 'git lfs install' writes filter.lfs.*, and a
matched file is then stored as a plain blob without any warning. Document that
instead of the wrong claim that git add fails, and add a guard script.
