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 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 dd683e0ea6 chore: keep review screenshots off the repository
AGENTS.md requires the PNGs to stay on disk with only Screenshots/README.md
tracked. Four shots had been committed; they are removed from the index and the
ignore rule restored, so the next review run cannot add binaries by accident.
