+## Roadmap and TODO
+
+The two files have separate roles:
+
+- **[TODO.md](TODO.md)** is the single, central task list for all agents: checkbox items, progress marks, and active-section ownership. Put all planned actionable work and follow-ups there. Do not create parallel task lists elsewhere.
+- **[ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md)** holds the development plan: milestone goals, scope, decisions, and release gates for each version. It is a planning document and contains **no checkbox items**. Read it for future direction; record scope changes there as prose, and record the resulting tasks in `TODO.md`.
+
+Rules for `TODO.md`:
+
+- Mark items **open** (`- [ ]`), **active/in progress** (`- [A]`, **deferred** `- [D]`), or **done** (`- [x]`). Keep the marks accurate.
+- When working on a level-three (`###`) section, append `- active - <sessionId>` to its heading, using your current session ID. Remove the suffix when you stop working on that section. Mark the items you are working on `- [A]` or `- [D]`.
+- Existing in-progress marks can describe unfinished work, not necessarily a live session; use the active heading and assignment details to identify current ownership.
+- Each version is a `##` heading; task groups are `###` headings with `- [ ]` steps.
+- When **all** steps in a version section are done: write a short descriptive entry to `CHANGELOG.md`, remove the version section from `TODO.md`, and leave its goal in `ROADMAP.md`.
+- Release checks for each version are listed at the end of its `TODO.md` section; `Docs/release-checks.md` defines the checks themselves. If a check fails, do not tag the release; open a patch task in `TODO.md` and report the failing check in `CHANGELOG.md`.
+- Finish each milestone's release checks **before** expanding scope. Cut map size and simulation complexity before compromising the core walking/driving experience.
+
+## Git workflow
+
+Every agent works on a dedicated git branch. **Never commit work directly to `main`** (except the coordinator's integration merges).
+
+Before starting any task:
+
+1. **Scan `TODO.md`** and pick a task — a level-three (`###`) section — to work on. Use `ROADMAP.md` for the goal and scope of the version you are working in. Prefer sections that are already active (they may be yours) or open items in sections that are not owned by another agent. Check the active heading and assignment details to identify ownership.
+2. **Create a branch** for that task from the current `main`: `git checkout -b <topic>-<version>` (e.g. `git checkout -b facade-hero-0.1.4`). One branch per task; do not stack unrelated tasks on one branch.
+3. **Record the active branch in the heading** of the section you are working on in `TODO.md`: append `- active - <sessionId>` (and, if useful, the branch name) to the level-three heading. This is the only way other agents can see that work is in progress on this section.
+4. **Commit changes often** on that branch — small, focused commits with clear messages. Do not accumulate large uncommitted changes.
+5. **Push to remote when a checklist item is done** — each completed `- [x]` item in that section should be committed and pushed. This keeps the remote state visible and makes progress recoverable.
+6. When the section is complete, report the branch, changes, checks, and unresolved issues to the coordinator for integration (see _Parallel agent workflow_ below). Do not merge into `main` yourself unless authorized.
+
+**Branch hygiene:**
+
+- Branch from the current `main` revision, not from a stale local checkout.
+- Keep `TODO.md` checkbox updates on your branch — they are part of the work.
+- If a task needs a different camera angle, or affects visual review, follow the _Visual review_ section before pushing.
+- If a task is abandoned, remove the `- active - <sessionId>` suffix from the heading in `TODO.md` and leave the branch for the coordinator to clean up.
+
+## Parallel agent workflow
+
+- Designate one coordinator to serialize assignments, updates to the shared `TODO.md`, and integration into `main`. Agree on task and file or asset ownership before work starts; avoid assigning the same section or binary asset to multiple agents at once.
+- The coordinator records the session ID, branch name, and owned files or assets alongside the active `TODO.md` section on the shared `main` coordination copy. Publish and synchronize this state through the remote when agents use different machines. Branch-local changes are not visible to other worktrees until integrated; `TODO.md` is not an atomic lock.
+- For parallel implementation, use a separate branch and Git worktree per agent, based on the agreed `main` revision. Do not switch branches in a directory another agent is using. Create branches, commits, pushes, and merges only when authorized; never overwrite another agent's uncommitted work.
+- Keep ignored local references, generated files, build outputs, and Unreal editor processes in mind: worktrees do not automatically share ignored files, and shared output paths or concurrent editors can collide. Arrange required inputs and isolated outputs before running tools.
+- Blender and Unreal binary assets cannot be meaningfully merged like text. Give each asset one owner; use Git LFS locks when supported by the remote, but do not assume locking is available.
+- When work is ready, report the branch, changes, checks, unresolved issues, and relevant memory findings to the coordinator. Review and integrate branches into `main` one at a time, reconcile `TODO.md` and memory changes, and update ownership and status. Follow the visual review and user-approval requirements before marking visual work done.
+
+## Memory
+
+**[MEMORY.md](MEMORY.md)** is shared session memory for agents and collaborators. Write to it whenever you:
+
+- discover a fact about the environment, a tool, or a data source that cost time to establish;
+- hit a gotcha, trap, or surprising failure mode, and what actually caused it;
+- find or fix a bug, and how it was found so it can be found again;
+- make a decision that does not fit a `TODO.md` item, such as a workaround, an assumption, or a rejected approach and why. Record scope or direction decisions in `ROADMAP.md` as prose.
+
+Keep entries short and dated, with the evidence: the command, the log line, or the file path. Anything that belongs in a formal document (setup steps, tool versions, licensing) goes in `Docs/` as well — memory is for coordination, not a replacement for the record. Do not let `MEMORY.md` become a second task list: planned work stays in `TODO.md`, and development direction stays in `ROADMAP.md`.
+
+Memory edits on an agent's branch are not shared live. Communicate important findings to the coordinator during work and reconcile them into the shared `main` copy when integrating.
+
+## Python and shell tooling
+
+Every committed asset and every measured claim in this repository is produced by a script. Tools live in `Tools/` (Unreal, network, repository), `Geo/tools/` (projection, OSM/DEM parsing, metadata) and `Art/blender/*/` (Blender-side builders, next to their output).
+
+**Fix the tool, not the artefact.** If an asset is corrected by hand, script the correction (or regenerate it) in the same change. A second manual fix of the same kind means the tool is missing a step.
+
+**Improve over fork.** Extend the existing tool rather than adding a near-duplicate. When two or three scripts start sharing logic, factor the shared part into `Tools/_common.py`, `Geo/tools/osm_common.py` or `Art/blender/common.py`; keep the single metres→centimetres conversion where it already lives.
+
+Rules that keep tools reusable and reviewable:
+
+- **One script, one job.** Every input is an argument; no interactive prompts; deterministic output paths.
+- **Fail loudly.** A tool that cannot do its job exits non-zero with a message. Never leave a partially written asset and a success code.
+- **Result files for Unreal.** Unreal commandlets swallow `print()`; write the outcome to `/tmp/gigline/<tool>.txt` and read that instead of trusting the exit code alone.
+- **Absolute paths into sandboxes.** Blender Flatpak (`LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$B/blender/lib"`) and Unreal do not share the repo's working directory; pass absolute paths.
+- **Clean worktree for generators.** Tools that rewrite committed assets (site/street/hero builders, importers, map builders) run from a clean worktree; inspect the LFS diff before committing. Note that `.blend` and `.umap` check out read-only — `chmod u+w` first or the save silently fails.
+- **Network and paid-API tools are human-triggered.** `Tools/commons_fetch.py`, `Tools/page_image_fetch.py`, `Tools/judge_screenshot.py` (OpenRouter) and anything similar never sit in a gate or CI. Handle HTTP 429 with back-off rather than retrying immediately.
+- **Measure, don't assert.** Verification tools print the sampled numbers — counts, holes, Z ranges, worst step and its location, frame-time percentiles — so a claim in `TODO.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` or `Docs/` can be re-checked by re-running the command.
+
+**Document every tool.** A new or changed tool gets a row in the inventory table of the README beside it: [`Tools/README.md`](Tools/README.md), [`Geo/README.md`](Geo/README.md), or [`Art/blender/README.md`](Art/blender/README.md). What it does, its arguments, and a typical command. A tool without a README row is unfinished.
+
+**Test the pure parts.** `Tools/tests/` holds stdlib `unittest` tests (no Blender or Unreal process; they must not start a game or editor). Extract the testable core — argument parsing, geometry maths, licence gating, report formatting — into functions that a test can call directly.
+
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest discover -s Tools/tests -t Tools -p 'test_*.py'
+```
+
+Keep the tools standard-library-only where practical; if a third-party import is genuinely needed, add it to `requirements-tools.txt` with a version floor and mention it in the tool's README row.
+
+## Architecture documentation
+
+[`Docs/Architecture/`](Docs/Architecture/) is the arc42 documentation: twelve numbered section files, `about-arc42.md`, and the combined [`architecture.md`](Docs/Architecture/architecture.md). **Markdown is canonical** — the `.adoc` sources were removed on 2026-11-08.
+
+Keep it current **in the same change as the implementation**, not in a later documentation pass. When work alters any of the following, edit the matching section:
+
+| Change | Section |
+| --- | --- |
+| A new or restructured module, tool, data source or external interface | `05_building_block_view.md` |
+| A runtime flow, tick/order dependency, or lifecycle (possession, map load, QA self-test) | `06_runtime_view.md` |
+| Packaging, engine pin, checkout/build/launch procedure | `07_deployment_view.md` |
+| A pattern, convention or cross-cutting rule (units, collision policy, provenance) | `08_concepts.md` |
+| A decision that constrains future work | new ADR in `09_architecture_decisions.md` |
+| A quality goal or a measured budget (frame time, traversal coverage) | `10_quality_requirements.md` |
+| A known risk or a risk that retired | `11_technical_risks.md` |
+| A new term, tool or abbreviation | `12_glossary.md` |
+
+Rules:
+
+- **Describe what exists.** No aspirational architecture: anything planned belongs in `ROADMAP.md` and `TODO.md`. Every structural claim names the file, script or flag that implements it.
+- **ADRs are append-only.** Never rewrite an accepted decision; supersede it with a new ADR that says what it replaces and why.
+- **Keep the combined document in sync.** `architecture.md` mirrors the section files; when a section changes, update the combined document too.
+- **Images** live in `Docs/Architecture/images/` and are referenced, not duplicated.
+- **Verify:** all Markdown must pass `prettier --check` (config in `.prettierrc`), and a command you quote must still run.

+
+`.agents/skills/blender-skills/` holds 94 Blender skill packs (MIT, blender-skills 1.3.0). They are agent instructions, not add-ons, and nothing in the pipeline depends on them.
+
+**All agents must consult the relevant skill packs before starting a task in that discipline.** Each patch section in `TODO.md` lists its suggested skills; the general mapping is:
+
+- **Modeling / procedural assets** — `blender-modeler`, `procedural-modeling`, `geometry-nodes`, `hard-surface`.
+- **Façades and architecture** — `archviz`, `historical-worlds` (1920s Hollywood Blvd direction), `realistic-style`.
+- **Materials and textures** — `materials`, `texture-workflow`, `lookdev`.
+- **UVs and export** — `uv-workflow`, `export-pipeline`, `unreal-export` (verify against the `ue_metric_v1` / `ue_character_v1` presets in `Tools/`).
+- **Collision** — `collision-proxy` (UCX/UHX naming, hulls, simple colliders).
+- **Scene assembly / optimization** — `scene-assembly`, `asset-optimization`, `lod-pipeline`.
+- **Review and QA** — `qa-review`, `references` (reference-image-match and visual-match checklists), `camera-cinematography` (matching reference camera angles).
+
+**Caveat:** the skill packs assume MCP-driven interactive Blender. This project runs Blender headless via scripts in `Tools/` — use the skills as method guides (checklists, naming conventions, proportions, validation steps), not for their MCP tooling. The headless scripts remain the execution path.

- Existing in-progress marks can describe unfinished work, not necessarily a live session; use the active heading and assignment details to identify current ownership.
-
- Each version is a `##` heading; task groups are `###` headings with `- [ ]` steps (`[-]` in progress, `[x]` done).
- When **all** steps in a version section are done: write a short descriptive entry to `CHANGELOG.md`, then remove the version section from `ROADMAP.md` to keep it concise.
- Finish each milestone's release checks **before** expanding scope. Cut map size and simulation complexity before compromising the core walking/driving experience.

+At `--sample 0.25` the same routes measure 11.6 cm / 8.0 cm / 3.4 cm. The pre-check now prints the grade and the **location** of the worst step, and its coverage no longer shrinks with `--sample`.

 No holes anywhere, so nothing drops the player on either side. The two flagged steps:

- **15.8 cm at s≈207**, where a sample crosses from `Terrain_DEM` onto `Sidewalk_South` — that is the sidewalk's outer edge, the 0.15 m kerb height minus the terrain. Mostly hidden by buildings, but it is a real edge and it will be visible anywhere a building is missing.
- **10–13 cm steps at s≈33, 39 and 126**, inside the sidewalk mesh: the kerb-flush transition at the crossings. That is a ~10 % ramp over 1.5 m, steeper than a real crossing ramp (8 % max). Worth grading properly when the crossings are detailed.
+- ~~15.8 cm at s≈207, the sidewalk's outer edge~~ — **fixed in `0.1.1`**: the sidewalk upstand now tapers to zero at the building side, so the outer edge is flush with the terrain (north route 15.1 → 6.9 cm).
+- ~~10–13 cm steps at the crossings, ~10 % ramp over 1.5 m~~ — **fixed in `0.1.1`**: the ramp run is now derived from a target grade (`--max-ramp-grade`, default 8 %), giving 1.63 m instead of the fixed 1.5 m (8.7 %). Measured at 0.25 m sampling the crossing now steps 3.4 cm (~1.4 % of the route) at the kerb line.
+
+**Remaining finding (not a crossing, not the outer edge):** the south route still measures a **13.4 cm step at s≈198 m** (11.6 cm at 0.25 m sampling) and the north route 8.0 cm at s≈251 m. Neither is at a crossing and neither is the outer lip, so this is a local discontinuity in the sidewalk strip — most likely the DEM sampling or a centreline vertex near the block ends. Tracked under the `0.1.1` "audit any collision gaps" item rather than left undocumented.

 This is a pre-check, not the `0.1.0` release check: the release check is traversal in the engine.

 Widths agree to a few centimetres; depths differ by up to 0.4 m because Blosm assembles **multipolygon relations**, not the raw way I measured. Placement after the frame correction agrees with the UTM control points to 0.1–0.5 m per building — the residual is relation assembly and Blosm's edge straightening, not projection.

-Buildings **without** a `height` tag get levels × 3.2 m, which is a placeholder, not evidence. Every such height is a modelling decision to be replaced from the reference photography.
+Buildings **without** a `height` tag get levels × **3.1 m**. The storey height was 3.2 m until 2026-11-09, when a cross-check of every block building against Mapbox's building data (`Geo/tools/mapbox_buildings.py`) showed our figure running 0.6 m high per six levels — i.e. 3.1 m per level — and that calibration was adopted. The few buildings where Mapbox disagreed with a pure `levels × 3.1 m` fallback carry an explicit override in `Geo/tools/block_height_report.py::HEIGHT_OVERRIDES`.
+
+Blosm adds roof mass on top of `levels × levelHeight`: the two `levels`-derived frontage buildings both land ~1.9 m above their table height (6922 39.1 m against 37.2 m, El Capitan Theatre 20.5 m against 18.6 m). That offset is the roof, not a height error — the table records the tagged height, the mesh records the storey plus its roof.

+
+Scale and façade correction patch. Buildings and the hero elevation now match the reference photography and the cross-checked height data; no new gameplay scope.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`Tools/facade_detail_concepts.py`** — generates frontal building plates (whole elevation, entrance in its façade, building with neighbours) from a local reference photograph through OpenRouter image models. Spec-driven, never overwrites, writes a provenance sidecar per image, output stays in the gitignored `Art/reference/` tree. Local working material only.
+- **`Tools/fbx_export_preset.py`** — the single FBX export preset (`ue_metric_v1` / `ue_character_v1`). Replaces the argument block that had been copied into six exporters.
+- **Façade occlusion probe** in `-qaselftest`: 40 m traces sideways from the road centre at walking height, required wherever a building is staged.
+- **Ionic detail on the hero**: base moulding at every shaft foot, a square abacus over every capital, and a 52-dentil cornice course.
+- **Tool tests**: `Tools/tests/` now covers the input driver, height classification, the Mapbox cross-check, the concept generator and the FBX preset (49 tests).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Storey height 3.2 → 3.1 m**, calibrated against Mapbox building data, with explicit overrides for three rear outbuildings; the block cross-check now reports 66 matches and no disagreements.
+- **Hero colonnade 47.6 % → 53.1 %** of the 14.50 m elevation, inside the photographed 50–60 % band (thinner entablature and parapet).
+- Blockout regenerated at the new storey height; frontage re-exported and re-imported (6922 42.1 → 39.1 m, El Capitan Theatre 20.0 → 20.5 m).
+- FBX exports now carry smoothing groups (`FACE` instead of `OFF`), so round geometry is no longer faceted and imports stop warning.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Windows floated 1.44 m in front of the wall**, ahead of the colonnade; they now sit on the wall plane behind the columns.
+- **Parapet medallions were flat discs lying on the coping** instead of discs on the parapet face.
+- **The hero façade had no usable collision** — the player could walk through it. It is now complex-as-simple; auto-generated convex hulls were tried and rejected because they bulged into the street.
+- **The three "guessed" block heights were never buildings**: two `building=roof` canopies and a transit shelter. They are classified as non-building volumes and the block now reports zero guessed heights.
+
+### Verified
+
+- Packaged build `-qaselftest`: walk, reset and pause pass; seam transect 1456 samples / 0 holes; wall probe 0/35; façade probe 0/9.
+- Screenshots re-rendered for every change and approved by the owner.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- Cornice dentil spacing, the base and abacus dimensions are recorded assumptions: the reference photography does not resolve them at our scale.
+- Façade surfaces remain flat blockout materials; the textured pass is `0.1.4`.
+
+## [0.1.1] — 2026-11-08
+
+Collision-fidelity patch. No new scope: street geometry corrections and the QA tooling that measures them.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Sidewalk outer edge ledge.** The sidewalk stood the full 0.15 m kerb height above the DEM at both edges, leaving a 15.8 cm lip where the walk route crossed from terrain onto the south sidewalk. The upstand now tapers from full at the road-side edge to zero at the building-side edge; the north route's worst step fell from 15.1 cm to 6.9 cm.
+- **Crossing ramps too steep.** The kerb-flush run was a fixed 1.5 m, giving ~8.7 % (measured 10–13 cm over 1.5 m). The run is now derived from a target grade (`--max-ramp-grade`, default 8 % ⇒ 1.63 m); the crossing steps 3.4 cm at 0.25 m sampling.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Walk pre-check improvements** (`Art/blender/site/site_assembly.py`): sampling coverage is independent of `--sample` (it previously shrank the route), and the report now prints the grade and the arc-length/offset **location** of the worst step, so a step can be located rather than guessed.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Kerb height recorded as final** at 0.15 m modelled / 0.13 m as built — a standard 6 in LA kerb; neither the 3DEP DEM nor the reference photography can resolve it further (±2 cm), which is far below the character's 45 cm step height.
+
+### Verified
+
+- Site meshes rebuilt and re-imported (7/7, collision flags intact), DemoMap rebuilt, packaged Development build `EXIT=0`.
+- `-qaselftest` on the packaged build: walk 761 cm in 2 s at steady Z 456, reset 0 cm, pause/unpause, transect 1456 samples across 16 rows / **0 holes**, wall probe **0/35** blocking hits.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- One residual **13.4 cm surface step at s≈198 m** on the south sidewalk (8.0 cm at s≈251 m north). It is not a gap and is below the 45 cm `MaxStepHeight`, so it does not block traversal; the cause is a sidewalk-strip discontinuity near a centreline vertex, recorded in `Art/blender/README.md` as a smoothness refinement.
+- Kerb radii at junctions, driveway aprons, drainage inlets and pavement joints remain unmodelled (unchanged from `0.1.0`).
+
+Nothing yet.
+
+## [0.1.0] — 2026-11-08
+
+The first playable release: a walkable exterior demo of the **6840 Hollywood Blvd** (El Capitan Entertainment Centre) block in Unreal Engine, built on OpenStreetMap layout data and USGS elevation, with the hero façade and the verified block frontage staged on a walkable street.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Unreal project** (`Game/GigLine`) — C++ game module, Enhanced Input, packaged Linux build, and a `DemoMap` that a plain launch opens directly.
+- **Walkable demo level** — terrain from the 3DEP DEM, Hollywood Blvd carriageway, both sidewalks and kerbs with collision, the designated mid-block crossing, and fixed daytime lighting (sun, sky light, sky atmosphere, height fog, pinned exposure).
+- **Hero façade** for 6840 Hollywood Blvd — six-column neoclassical elevation with three genuine portal recesses, entablature, parapet and motto band (`Tools/hero_facade_build.py`, `Tools/ue_hero_facade_import.py`).
+- **Block frontage** — the five verified south-side neighbours (6922, 6902, 6838 El Capitan Theatre, 6822 Budget, 6806–6822, 6800 Lee Drug) and the two north-side buildings (TCL Chinese Theatre, Madame Tussaud's) placed at their OSM positions.
+- **First-person player** — `AGigLineCharacter`: 1.75 m capsule, 1.60 m eye camera, 4 m/s walk, mouse look, jump, reset (`R`) and pause (`Escape`); controls documented in `Docs/controls.md` and shown in-game.
+- **In-game ODbL attribution** — `AGigLineHUD` draws the OpenStreetMap credit and licence line every frame.
+- **QA harness** — `-qaselftest` (walk, reset, pause, seam transect, invisible-wall probe, frame-time capture) and `Tools/input_test.py` / `Tools/input_emulation.py` for OS-level virtual keyboard/mouse input.
+- **Documentation** — setup, build, toolchain, licensing, ODbL review, release checks, and arc42 architecture docs.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **All controls were dead in packaged and PIE builds.** The mapping-context generator wrote key bindings to the deprecated `mappings` array; UE 5.8 reads `DefaultKeyMappings.Mappings`, so the cooked game had zero runtime mappings and every key resolved to nothing. `Tools/ue_create_input_assets.py` now populates the current field.
+- **"Fall-through" was an 8 m invisible box.** `Terrain_DEM` shipped only a bounding-box collision proxy; forcing complex-as-simple collision (`UGigLineAssetTools`) put the player on the actual street.
+- **Reset returned the player to mid-air** — the start position is now captured on the first grounded frame.
+- **Plain launch opened the engine template** — the default map now lives in `DefaultEngine.ini` and points at `DemoMap`.
+- **Game target would not compile** — removed editor-only API use (`UStaticMesh::PostEditChange`, `AActor::GetActorLabel`).
+- **`demo-north-buildings` screenshot** framed 85 % sky (camera 9.5 km west of the buildings); re-pointed to the building mass.
+
+### Verified
+
+- Both sides of the demo are traversable: 1456-sample seam transect, 0 holes, no blocking collision or invisible walls (`-qaselftest` on the packaged build).
+- Placement and street scale match the reference photography and Geo measurements (road 24.3 m, sidewalk offsets 12.5/13.2 m, hero frontage 26.0 m).
+- **414 fps average / p99 3.01 ms at 2560×1440** (Epic preset, TSR, VSync off, no frame generation) — far above the 60 fps target.
+- Fresh checkout builds and packages with the documented external engine (UE 5.8.4).
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- Buildings other than the hero are flat blockout volumes; façade detail, materials and Blosm style scripts are planned for `0.1.4`.
+- Kerb height (0.13 m as built vs 0.15 m assumed), kerb radii, driveway aprons and graded crossing ramps are deferred to `0.1.1`; crossing ramps are kerb flushes.
+- One block only; no vehicles, NPCs, audio, or settings UI yet.

+# Introduction and Goals
+
+Gig Line is a Linux-first Unreal Engine 5 game that reconstructs a walkable (and eventually drivable) stretch of Hollywood Boulevard around 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre. The initial release (`0.1.0`) delivers a first-person walking demo of the south-side block between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive, plus north-side buildings within 50 m of the frontage.
+
+## Requirements Overview
+
+| ID | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| F-1 | Walk both sides of Hollywood Blvd in the demo area without falling through geometry |

+# Architecture Constraints
+
+## Technical Constraints
+
+| Constraint | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Engine: Unreal 5.8.4 | Pinned; no bundled Linux clang — uses system clang 23.1.4. Game targets use `BuildSettingsVersion.V7`. |
+| Platform: Linux first | Developed and tested on Bazzite Linux (Fedora 45 base). Windows builds ship but are secondary. |
+| GPU: RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB | Dev workstation target. Vulkan RHI; open kernel module driver 615.78.08. |
+| No static lighting | `r.AllowStaticLighting=False`. The demo is a fixed daytime scene lit entirely dynamically to avoid "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warnings. |
+| Blender→UE via FBX | Flat diffuse colours do not survive FBX→Unreal import. All materials are authored in UE. |
+| Terrain collision | UE 5.8 exposes `CollisionTraceFlag` (not `bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision`); Python cannot set it. Must use C++ helper `UGigLineAssetTools::SetComplexCollisionAsSimple`. |
+| Coordinate convention | South = +Y, north = −Y (ground truth = street mesh orientation). 1 m in Blender = 100 cm in Unreal. |
+
+## Organisational Constraints
+
+| Constraint | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Squash-merge to `main` | Every PR is squash-merged for a linear history. No direct commits to `main` except integration merges. |
+| Visual review required | Any change affecting appearance must produce screenshots for human approval before being marked done. |
+| Asset provenance | Every committed asset must have verified licence and redistribution permission recorded in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`. |
+| Reference photography | Local only, gitignored, never committed. Used for façade work under fair-use / internal-development rationale. |
+| LFS for binaries | `.uasset`, `.umap`, `.blend` tracked with Git LFS; `Binaries/`, `Intermediate/`, `Saved/` are gitignored. |
+
+## Conventions
+
+| Convention | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Semantic versioning | `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`. `0.x` documents breaking changes. `1.0.0` = agreed game scope. |

+# Context and Scope
+
+## Business Context
+
+The system is a self-contained single-player game. It has no server backend, no multiplayer, and no live service dependencies. Its communication partners are:
+
+| Partner | Inbound | Outbound |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Player (keyboard/mouse) | WASD, mouse, R (reset), Escape (pause), Space (jump) | Rendered 3D scene + HUD |
+| OSM data | Extracted building footprints, street geometry, elevation | — |
+| Filesystem | Engine content (`.uasset`, `.umap`), Blender sources (`.blend`), DEM GeoTIFF | Saved maps, screenshots, packaged build |
+
+## Technical Context
+
+| Channel | Protocol / Format | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Keyboard + mouse | Enhanced Input (IA\_\*, IMC_Default) | First-person movement, look, jump, reset, pause |
+| Vulkan RHI | GPU rendering | Scene display at 60 FPS / 1440p |
+| FBX | Autodesk FBX (binary) | Blender→Unreal mesh and skeleton transfer |
+| GeoTIFF | 3DEP 1 m DEM | Terrain heightfield source |
+| OSM XML | Overpass API extract | Building footprint and street layout source |
+| Git / LFS | HTTPS to Gitea remote | Source control, binary asset storage |

+# Solution Strategy
+
+## Technology decisions
+
+- **Unreal Engine 5.8.4** for rendering, World Partition, physics (Chaos), and the Enhanced Input system. Chosen for its Linux support, open C++ source, and real-time rendering quality.
+
+- **Blender 5.2 LTS** for all 3D modelling, UV work, and collision mesh authoring. Driven headlessly via `bpy` Python scripts, not MCP.
+
+- **QGIS 4.2.3** for geographic data cleanup, coordinate conversion (EPSG:26911), and DEM preparation.
+
+- **Blosm 2.7.28** for OSM building and street blockouts inside Blender (layout data only — not authoritative façade, height, or pavement detail).
+
+- **MPFB 2.0.18** for human base meshes and baked materials (NPCs in `0.2.0+`).
+
+## Top-level decomposition
+
+The system is a single Unreal game module (`GigLine`) with no plugins beyond `EnhancedInput`. Content is organised by domain under `/Game/Hollywood/`:
+
+- `Site/` — terrain, road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing markings, site materials
+
+- `ElCapitan/` — hero façade mesh and materials
+
+- `Frontage/` — south-side block building meshes
+
+- `North/` — north-side building meshes
+
+- `Input/` — Enhanced Input actions and mapping context
+
+All modelling and geographic processing live outside the game project in `Art/`, `Geo/`, and `Tools/`. The `Game/` directory contains only engine-ready content and C++ source.
+
+## Quality achievement
+
+- **Performance**: dynamic-only lighting (no build step, no static shadow maps), world-space-noise materials (cheap procedural variation), minimal overdraw (simple street-level geometry).
+
+- **Walkability**: complex-as-simple collision on terrain (C++ helper forces the flag on the asset), block-all collision on every site mesh, swept transect QA verifies zero raycast holes.
+
+- **Fidelity**: geographic data verified before modelling (footprints, bounds, DEM); building placement checked against street mesh, never in isolation; reference photography drives façade work.
+
+- **Reproducibility**: pinned toolchain in `Docs/toolchain.md`, named export presets, `Tools/check-lfs.sh` gate, fresh-checkout build procedure in `Docs/build.md`.

+# Building Block View
+
+## Whitebox Overall System
+
+The system decomposes into five top-level building blocks:
+
+| **Name** | **Responsibility** |
+| --- | --- |
+| Gameplay | Player pawn, movement, camera, input bindings, HUD, game mode |
+| Site | Terrain, road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing markings, site-level collision |
+| Façades | Hero façade (El Capitan), south block frontage, north-side buildings |
+| Art Pipeline | Blender models, geographic data, export scripts, import scripts |
+| QA & Review | Screenshot pipeline, self-test harness, visual review workflow |
+
+### Gameplay
+
+C++ classes in `Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/`:
+
+| Class | Responsibility | Key detail |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `AGigLineCharacter` | First-person player pawn | 1.75 m capsule, 4.5 m/s walk, Enhanced Input bindings, reset, pause, `-qaselftest` harness |
+| `AGigLineGameModeBase` | Sets game mode and HUD class | `HUDClass = AGigLineHUD` |
+| `AGigLineHUD` | HUD text overlay | `DrawText` every frame, bottom-left |
+| `AGigLineNPCPerson` | NPC prefab (future) | Capsule + visible MPFB body, feet on Z 0 |
+| `AGigLineShotActor` | Screenshot camera walker | Drives cameras in `-game` mode, `FScreenshotRequest`, quits |
+| `UGigLineAssetTools` | C++ collision helpers | `SetComplexCollisionAsSimple` on `StaticMesh` assets |
+
+Input assets in `/Game/Input/`: `IA_Move`, `IA_MoveBack`, `IA_Strafe`, `IA_StrafeLeft`, `IA_Look`, `IA_Jump`, `IA_Reset`, `IA_Pause`, bound in `IMC_Default`.
+
+### Site
+
+Static meshes and materials in `/Game/Hollywood/Site/`:
+
+| Asset | Role |
+| --- | --- |
+| `Terrain_DEM` | Ground heightfield (complex-as-simple collision) |
+| `Road_Hollywood` | Carriageway surface (block-all collision) |
+| `Sidewalk_North`, `Sidewalk_South` | Pedestrian surfaces (block-all collision) |
+| `Kerb_North`, `Kerb_South` | Kerb edges |
+| `Crossing_Markings` | Zebra markings at signalised crossing |
+| `M_Asphalt`, `M_Concrete`, `M_KerbConcrete`, `M_Ground`, `M_RoadPaint`, `M_Stucco`, `M_FacadeStone` | Procedural materials (world-space-noise blend + roughness) |
+
+### Façades
+
+| Asset | Role |
+| --- | --- |
+| `SM_HeroFacade` | El Capitan Entertainment Centre detailed façade |
+| `SM_ElCapitanTheatre`, `SM_Budget_6822`, `SM_Hollywood_6806`, `SM_Hollywood_6902`, `SM_Hollywood_6922`, `SM_LeeDrug_6800` | South block frontage (6 buildings) |
+| `SM_Madame_Tussauds`, `SM_TCL_Chinese_Theatre` | North-side buildings (within 50 m) |
+
+### Art Pipeline
+
+Python scripts in `Tools/` drive the content pipeline:
+
+| Script group | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `export_*`, `hero_facade_build` | Blender headless export (FBX) |
+| `ue_import_*`, `ue_hero_facade_import` | Unreal headless import + placement |
+| `ue_build_demo_map`, `ue_build_review_map` | Map assembly (lighting, meshes, player start) |
+| `ue_create_input_assets` | Enhanced Input actions + mapping context |
+| `render_screenshots.sh` | Screenshot capture pipeline |
+| `judge_screenshot.py` | Vision-model pre-check (optional) |
+| `input_emulation.py`, `input_test.py` | OS-level virtual keyboard/mouse injection for input verification |
+| `Tools/tests/` | Stdlib `unittest` tests for the pure parts of the tools (`requirements-tools.txt`) |
+| `Geo/tools/mapbox_buildings.py` | Second height source: Mapbox `mapbox-streets-v8` building data vs our OSM heights |
+
+Source data: `Art/blender/` (`.blend` files), `Geo/` (OSM extracts, DEM, verification docs). Tool rules (one script one job, result files for commandlets, clean worktree for generators, documented inventory, tests for the pure parts) are in [`AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md#python-and-shell-tooling).
+
+### QA & Review
+
+- `AGigLineShotActor` walks fixed cameras in `-game` mode, captures PNGs, and quits.
+
+- `-qaselftest` switch on `AGigLineCharacter` runs a core-ticker harness: walk 2 s, reset, pause/unpause, ground transect — all PASS/FAIL logged.
+
+- `Screenshots/` holds committed PNGs and `README.md` approval table.
+
+## Level 2
+
+### White Box Gameplay — Input Flow
+
+1. `AGigLineCharacter::SetupPlayerInputComponent` binds `IA_*` actions to `MoveForward`, `MoveBack`, `MoveStrafe`, `MoveLeft`, `Look`, `StartJump`/`StopJump`, `ResetToStart`, `TogglePause`.
+
+2. Movement delegates to `ApplyMove(Forward, Strafe)` → `AddMovementInput`.
+
+3. Look applies yaw/pitch scaled by `LookSensitivity` (Y invertable via `bInvertLookY`).
+
+4. `ResetToStart` teleports to `StartLocation` (captured on first grounded frame), clears velocity, resets control rotation.
+
+5. `TogglePause` toggles `APlayerController::SetPause`, swaps input mode between `FInputModeGameOnly` and `FInputModeUIOnly`, shows/hides mouse cursor.
+
+### White Box Site — Collision Model
+
+- Every site mesh (road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing) is `STATIC` with `BlockAll` collision.
+
+- `Terrain_DEM` uses `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple` (forced by `UGigLineAssetTools` at build time, saved on the asset).
+
+- The terrain corridor is carved to half-width 10.7 m around the road centreline so the player can walk the carriageway and both sidewalks.
+
+- Ground Z: north sidewalk 395, road 366, south sidewalk 317 (3.94 m fall along the block, matching the DEM).

+# Runtime View
+
+## Walk the block
+
+1.  Player launches game → `AGigLineGameModeBase` spawns `AGigLineCharacter` at `PlayerStart` `(-13336, -1150, 600)`.
+
+2.  Character falls 144 cm to road surface (Z 456) and begins walking. `StartLocation` captured on first grounded frame.
+
+3.  Player holds W → `IA_Move` fires → `ApplyMove(1, 0)` → `AddMovementInput(ForwardVector, 1)` → capsule moves at 450 cm/s.
+
+4.  Mouse move → `IA_Look` fires → yaw/pitch applied to controller rotation → camera follows (attached to capsule at 160 cm eye height).
+
+5.  Player presses R → `ResetToStart` → teleport to `StartLocation`/`StartRotation`, `StopMovementImmediately`, reset control rotation.
+
+6.  Player presses Escape → `TogglePause` → `SetPause(true)`, switch to `FInputModeUIOnly`, show cursor. World timers stop; core tickers continue.
+
+7.  Player presses Escape again → `TogglePause` → `SetPause(false)`, switch to `FInputModeGameOnly`, hide cursor.
+
+## Screenshot capture
+
+1.  `Tools/render_screenshots.sh` compiles editor, builds `ReviewMap` from `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`, launches game in `-game` mode.
+
+2.  `AGigLineShotActor` iterates the camera list, sets view, calls `HighResShot 1280x720`, waits for capture.
+
+3.  On last camera, requests engine quit. PNGs are copied to `Screenshots/` and committed.
+
+## QA self-test (`-qaselftest`)
+
+1.  Core ticker starts at `BeginPlay` (not a world timer — world timers freeze on pause).
+
+2.  1.0 s: begin driving forward input.
+
+3.  3.0 s: stop, measure displacement (> 200 cm = PASS).
+
+4.  3.5 s: call `ResetToStart`.
+
+5.  4.0 s: measure distance from spawn (< 100 cm = PASS).
+
+6.  4.5 s: call `TogglePause`, check `IsGamePaused()` (= true = PASS).
+
+7.  5.5 s: call `TogglePause`, check `IsGamePaused()` (= false = PASS).
+
+8.  6.0 s: swept ground transect across three lanes (Y −1400, −167, +1000), X −14900 to −9420 at 200 cm spacing. 84 samples, 0 holes = PASS.
+
+9.  7.0 s: final verdict logged.
+
+## Build and import pipeline
+
+1.  Blender headless (`Tools/export_*.py`) reads `.blend` files, applies metre→centimetre conversion, exports FBX with `ue_metric_v1` preset.
+
+2.  Unreal headless (`Tools/ue_import_*.py`) imports FBX via Interchange, places meshes at geographic coordinates, sets collision profiles.
+
+3.  `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py` assembles `DemoMap`: creates/repositions actors, sets lighting, saves map and assets.

+# Cross-cutting Concepts
+
+## Coordinate system and scale
+
+- **Source CRS**: EPSG:26911 (UTM zone 11N). Local origin recorded in `Geo/`.
+
+- **Blender**: metres. East → +X, north → +Y (Blender convention).
+
+- **Unreal**: centimetres. East → +X, north → **−Y** (confirmed from street mesh: `Sidewalk_North` Y −1912..−1053, `Sidewalk_South` Y +718..+1447).
+
+- **Conversion**: every exporter calls the metre→centimetre function. Import presets (`ue_metric_v1`, `ue_character_v1`) are named and repeatable.
+
+Rule: place a building only against a neighbour or street mesh, never in isolation.
+
+## Collision model
+
+- Site meshes (road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing): `STATIC` mobility, `BlockAll` collision profile.
+
+- Terrain: `STATIC`, `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple` (forced by `UGigLineAssetTools` at build time, saved on the asset — the flag lives on the `UStaticMesh`/`UBodySetup`, not the map).
+
+- Buildings: `STATIC`, simple collision (convex hull from mesh).
+
+- Rule: the collision flag must be saved on the asset. Saving only the `.umap` silently reverts it.
+
+## Lighting
+
+- Dynamic-only: `r.AllowStaticLighting=False`. All lights are `MOVABLE`.
+
+- Fixed daytime rig: directional light (sun, −62° pitch), sky light, exponential height fog, post-process volume with fixed exposure.
+
+- Rationale: avoids "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warnings; no bake step; the scene never changes time of day.
+
+## Materials
+
+- All materials authored in Unreal, not carried from Blender (FBX import loses diffuse colours).
+
+- World-space-noise blend nodes for cheap procedural variation (asphalt grain, concrete speckle, stucco roughness).
+
+- Instance parameters where tunable (e.g. wetness, ageing).
+
+## Geographic data provenance
+
+- OSM extract is layout data only — not authoritative for façade, height, or pavement detail.
+
+- DEM from 3DEP 1 m; elevation verified against cross-sections in `Geo/verification/`.
+
+- Reference photography (local, gitignored) drives manual façade work.
+
+## QA harness
+
+- `-qaselftest`: core ticker (not world timer) so pause cannot freeze the test that proves pause works.
+
+- `GigLine SIM` / `GigLine GROUND`: TEMP diagnostic logging, to be removed before release tag.
+
+- Screenshot approval: human must tick `Screenshots/README.md` before visual work is marked done.

+# Architecture Decisions
+
+## ADR-1: Dynamic-only lighting for the demo
+
+- **Context**: The demo is a fixed daytime scene. Stationary lights demand a lighting build and produce "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warnings.
+
+- **Decision**: `r.AllowStaticLighting=False`, all lights `MOVABLE`.
+
+- **Consequences**: No bake step, no warning, simpler iteration. Slightly higher GPU cost per frame (no baked shadows) — acceptable for the demo scope.
+
+## ADR-2: Materials authored in Unreal, not imported from Blender
+
+- **Context**: FBX→Unreal import maps all Blender diffuse colours to white. Flat colour materials do not survive the pipeline.
+
+- **Decision**: Build all materials (asphalt, concrete, stucco, façade stone, road paint) directly in Unreal with procedural nodes.
+
+- **Consequences**: Materials cannot be previewed in Blender look-dev. Must round-trip to Unreal for visual check. But: full PBR control, world-space noise, no import surprise.
+
+## ADR-3: Complex-as-simple collision on terrain via C++ helper
+
+- **Context**: UE 5.8 removed `bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision`. Python cannot set `CollisionTraceFlag` on `StaticMesh`/`BodySetup` at all. The Interchange default is bbox-only simple collision, which placed an invisible lid 8 m above the street.
+
+- **Decision**: `UGigLineAssetTools::SetComplexCollisionAsSimple` (C++) forces `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple` and saves the asset.
+
+- **Consequences**: One C++ helper class. The flag must be saved on the asset (not just the map). No Python workaround exists.
+
+## ADR-4: Reset captures StartLocation on first grounded frame
+
+- **Context**: `BeginPlay` captures `StartLocation` at the PlayerStart, which is above grade (Z 600) so the capsule does not spawn embedded. Every reset dropped the player 1.4 m back into the air.
+
+- **Decision**: Repeating 0.25 s timer captures `StartLocation` once the character reports `IsMovingOnGround()`, then clears itself.
+
+- **Consequences**: Reset is correct. A one-shot timer at 2 s is wrong (fires after walking begins, records mid-stride position).
+
+## ADR-5: Core ticker for QA self-test, not world timer
+
+- **Context**: Pausing the game stops world timers. A timer-driven test freezes exactly when it proves pause works.
+
+- **Decision**: `FTSTicker::GetCoreTicker()` drives the `-qaselftest` harness.
+
+- **Consequences**: Test runs even while paused. Must be enabled explicitly (`-qaselftest`), never in normal play.
+
+## ADR-6: South = +Y, north = −Y in Unreal
+
+- **Context**: The street mesh established this convention: `Sidewalk_North` has Y range −1912..−1053, `Sidewalk_South` has +718..+1447.
+
+- **Decision**: Adopt it project-wide. Never place a building by assumption; always verify against a street mesh or neighbour.
+
+- **Consequences**: Matches Blender’s north→+Y after the Y-flip in the `ue_metric_v1` export preset.
+
+## ADR-7: Headless Blender via bpy scripts, not MCP
+
+- **Context**: Blender skill packs assume an MCP server; the project does not run one.
+
+- **Decision**: All Blender work driven by Python scripts in `Tools/`. Skill packs used as method guides (checklists, naming, proportions) only.
+
+- **Consequences**: Scripts are version-controlled and repeatable. No live Blender session needed for CI.

+# Glossary
+
+| Term | Definition |
+| --- | --- |
+| Blosm | Blender add-on (2.7.28) that imports OSM data as 3D building and street blockouts. Used for layout only — not authoritative for façade or height. |
+| PIE | Play In Editor — an Unreal Editor feature that runs the current map as a live game session inside the editor window, with full game code, input, and physics, without packaging a build. Used for interactive verification (walk, reset, pause) before the scripted QA self-test. |
+| Complex-as-simple collision | `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple`: Unreal collision mode where the render mesh triangles are used as the collision surface, instead of a simplified proxy. Required for terrain so the player walks on the actual ground shape. |
+| DEM | Digital Elevation Model. 3DEP 1 m resolution GeoTIFF covering the demo bounds. Source of terrain heightfield. |
+| El Capitan | El Capitan Entertainment Centre, 6838 Hollywood Blvd. The hero building of the demo. |
+| Enhanced Input | Unreal’s modern input system (UE 5+). Uses Input Actions (`IA_*`) and Input Mapping Contexts (`IMC_*`) instead of legacy axis/action bindings. |
+| EPSG:26911 | UTM zone 11N, the projected CRS used for the demo area. Local origin recorded in `Geo/`. |
+| Hero façade | The detailed, reference-calibrated model of the El Capitan building frontage. |
+| MPFB | MakeHuman Plugin for Blender (2.0.18). Generates parametric human base meshes with rigs and baked materials. |
+| PlayerStart | Unreal actor that defines where the player pawn spawns. Positioned above grade so the capsule does not embed in the floor on spawn. |
+| QA self-test | The `-qaselftest` command-line switch that runs an automated behaviour check (walk, reset, pause, ground transect) via a core ticker. |
+| Site | The terrain, road, sidewalks, kerbs, and crossing markings — the ground-level infrastructure of the demo area. |
+| Squash merge | Git merge strategy that compresses all branch commits into one commit on `main`, keeping a linear history. |
+| Swept transect | A QA technique that raycasts vertically at regular intervals along a path (e.g. every 200 cm along both sidewalks and the carriageway) and counts holes (misses). Zero holes = the block is fully walkable. |
+| UE | Unreal Engine — Epic Games' real-time 3D creation platform (version 5.8.4 in this project). Comprises the Unreal Editor (including PIE, content browser, viewport, blueprint editor), a C++ game framework, and runtime systems for rendering (Vulkan RHI on Linux), physics (Chaos), and input (Enhanced Input). The game project is `GigLine.uproject`; game code is a single C++ module in `Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/`. |
+| World Partition | Unreal's world composition system for large open-world levels. Not yet used in `0.1.0` but planned for `0.3.0+` driving routes. |
+| Y convention | In Unreal, south = +Y, north = −Y (confirmed from street mesh orientation). In Blender, north = +Y; the `ue_metric_v1` export preset flips Y. |

+# Introduction and Goals
+
+Gig Line is a Linux-first Unreal Engine 5 game that reconstructs a walkable (and eventually drivable) stretch of Hollywood Boulevard around 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre. The initial release (`0.1.0`) delivers a first-person walking demo of the south-side block between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive, plus north-side buildings within 50 m of the frontage.
+
+## Requirements Overview
+
+| ID | Description |

+## Stakeholders
+
+| Role | Contact | Expectations |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Owner / Director | zwitschi | Sets scope, approves screenshots, cuts release tags |
+| AI coding agents | multiple sessions | Read `AGENTS.md`, `TODO.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, and this document for architecture constraints; never commit directly to `main` |
+| Players | end users | Walk the demo at 60 FPS without falling through the world; see a recognisable Hollywood block |
+
+# Architecture Constraints
+
+## Technical Constraints
+
+| Constraint | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Engine: Unreal 5.8.4 | Pinned; no bundled Linux clang — uses system clang 23.1.4. Game targets use `BuildSettingsVersion.V7`. |
+| Platform: Linux first | Developed and tested on Bazzite Linux (Fedora 45 base). Windows builds ship but are secondary. |
+| GPU: RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB | Dev workstation target. Vulkan RHI; open kernel module driver 615.78.08. |
+| No static lighting | `r.AllowStaticLighting=False`. The demo is a fixed daytime scene lit entirely dynamically to avoid "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warnings. |
+| Blender→UE via FBX | Flat diffuse colours do not survive FBX→Unreal import. All materials are authored in UE. |
+| Terrain collision | UE 5.8 exposes `CollisionTraceFlag` (not `bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision`); Python cannot set it. Must use C++ helper `UGigLineAssetTools::SetComplexCollisionAsSimple`. |
+| Coordinate convention | South = +Y, north = −Y (ground truth = street mesh orientation). 1 m in Blender = 100 cm in Unreal. |
+
+## Organisational Constraints
+
+| Constraint | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Squash-merge to `main` | Every PR is squash-merged for a linear history. No direct commits to `main` except integration merges. |
+| Visual review required | Any change affecting appearance must produce screenshots for human approval before being marked done. |
+| Asset provenance | Every committed asset must have verified licence and redistribution permission recorded in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`. |
+| Reference photography | Local only, gitignored, never committed. Used for façade work under fair-use / internal-development rationale. |
+| LFS for binaries | `.uasset`, `.umap`, `.blend` tracked with Git LFS; `Binaries/`, `Intermediate/`, `Saved/` are gitignored. |
+
+## Conventions
+
+| Convention | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Semantic versioning | `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`. `0.x` documents breaking changes. `1.0.0` = agreed game scope. |
+| Task tracking in `TODO.md` | Single central task list. `- [ ]` open, `- [-]` or `- [~]` in progress, `- [x]` done, `- [A]` active, `- [D]` deferred. |
+| Headless Blender | All Blender work driven by `bpy` scripts in `Tools/`, not MCP. Blender skills are method guides only. |
+| Named export presets | `ue_metric_v1` for static meshes, `ue_character_v1` for skeletal. Every exporter calls the metre→centimetre conversion. |
+
+# Context and Scope
+
+## Business Context
+
+The system is a self-contained single-player game. It has no server backend, no multiplayer, and no live service dependencies. Its communication partners are:
+
+| Partner | Inbound | Outbound |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Player (keyboard/mouse) | WASD, mouse, R (reset), Escape (pause), Space (jump) | Rendered 3D scene + HUD |
+| OSM data | Extracted building footprints, street geometry, elevation | — |
+| Filesystem | Engine content (`.uasset`, `.umap`), Blender sources (`.blend`), DEM GeoTIFF | Saved maps, screenshots, packaged build |
+
+## Technical Context
+
+| Channel | Protocol / Format | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Keyboard + mouse | Enhanced Input (IA\_\*, IMC_Default) | First-person movement, look, jump, reset, pause |
+| Vulkan RHI | GPU rendering | Scene display at 60 FPS / 1440p |
+| FBX | Autodesk FBX (binary) | Blender→Unreal mesh and skeleton transfer |
+| GeoTIFF | 3DEP 1 m DEM | Terrain heightfield source |
+| OSM XML | Overpass API extract | Building footprint and street layout source |
+| Git / LFS | HTTPS to Gitea remote | Source control, binary asset storage |
+
+# Solution Strategy
+
+## Technology decisions
+
+- **Unreal Engine 5.8.4** for rendering, World Partition, physics (Chaos), and the Enhanced Input system. Chosen for its Linux support, open C++ source, and real-time rendering quality.
+
+- **Blender 5.2 LTS** for all 3D modelling, UV work, and collision mesh authoring. Driven headlessly via `bpy` Python scripts, not MCP.
+
+- **QGIS 4.2.3** for geographic data cleanup, coordinate conversion (EPSG:26911), and DEM preparation.
+
+- **Blosm 2.7.28** for OSM building and street blockouts inside Blender (layout data only — not authoritative façade, height, or pavement detail).
+
+- **MPFB 2.0.18** for human base meshes and baked materials (NPCs in `0.2.0+`).
+
+## Top-level decomposition
+
+The system is a single Unreal game module (`GigLine`) with no plugins beyond `EnhancedInput`. Content is organised by domain under `/Game/Hollywood/`:
+
+- `Site/` — terrain, road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing markings, site materials
+
+- `ElCapitan/` — hero façade mesh and materials
+
+- `Frontage/` — south-side block building meshes
+
+- `North/` — north-side building meshes
+
+- `Input/` — Enhanced Input actions and mapping context
+
+All modelling and geographic processing live outside the game project in `Art/`, `Geo/`, and `Tools/`. The `Game/` directory contains only engine-ready content and C++ source.
+
+## Quality achievement
+
+- **Performance**: dynamic-only lighting (no build step, no static shadow maps), world-space-noise materials (cheap procedural variation), minimal overdraw (simple street-level geometry).
+
+- **Walkability**: complex-as-simple collision on terrain (C++ helper forces the flag on the asset), block-all collision on every site mesh, swept transect QA verifies zero raycast holes.
+
+- **Fidelity**: geographic data verified before modelling (footprints, bounds, DEM); building placement checked against street mesh, never in isolation; reference photography drives façade work.
+
+- **Reproducibility**: pinned toolchain in `Docs/toolchain.md`, named export presets, `Tools/check-lfs.sh` gate, fresh-checkout build procedure in `Docs/build.md`.
+
+# Building Block View
+
+## Whitebox Overall System
+
+The system decomposes into five top-level building blocks:
+
+| **Name** | **Responsibility** |
+| --- | --- |
+| Gameplay | Player pawn, movement, camera, input bindings, HUD, game mode |
+| Site | Terrain, road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing markings, site-level collision |
+| Façades | Hero façade (El Capitan), south block frontage, north-side buildings |
+| Art Pipeline | Blender models, geographic data, export scripts, import scripts |
+| QA & Review | Screenshot pipeline, self-test harness, visual review workflow |
+
+### Gameplay
+
+C++ classes in `Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/`:
+
+| Class | Responsibility | Key detail |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `AGigLineCharacter` | First-person player pawn | 1.75 m capsule, 4.5 m/s walk, Enhanced Input bindings, reset, pause, `-qaselftest` harness |
+| `AGigLineGameModeBase` | Sets game mode and HUD class | `HUDClass = AGigLineHUD` |
+| `AGigLineHUD` | HUD text overlay | `DrawText` every frame, bottom-left |
+| `AGigLineNPCPerson` | NPC prefab (future) | Capsule + visible MPFB body, feet on Z 0 |
+| `AGigLineShotActor` | Screenshot camera walker | Drives cameras in `-game` mode, `FScreenshotRequest`, quits |
+| `UGigLineAssetTools` | C++ collision helpers | `SetComplexCollisionAsSimple` on `StaticMesh` assets |
+
+Input assets in `/Game/Input/`: `IA_Move`, `IA_MoveBack`, `IA_Strafe`, `IA_StrafeLeft`, `IA_Look`, `IA_Jump`, `IA_Reset`, `IA_Pause`, bound in `IMC_Default`.
+
+### Site
+
+Static meshes and materials in `/Game/Hollywood/Site/`:
+
+| Asset | Role |
+| --- | --- |
+| `Terrain_DEM` | Ground heightfield (complex-as-simple collision) |
+| `Road_Hollywood` | Carriageway surface (block-all collision) |
+| `Sidewalk_North`, `Sidewalk_South` | Pedestrian surfaces (block-all collision) |
+| `Kerb_North`, `Kerb_South` | Kerb edges |
+| `Crossing_Markings` | Zebra markings at signalised crossing |
+| `M_Asphalt`, `M_Concrete`, `M_KerbConcrete`, `M_Ground`, `M_RoadPaint`, `M_Stucco`, `M_FacadeStone` | Procedural materials (world-space-noise blend + roughness) |
+
+### Façades
+
+| Asset | Role |
+| --- | --- |
+| `SM_HeroFacade` | El Capitan Entertainment Centre detailed façade |
+| `SM_ElCapitanTheatre`, `SM_Budget_6822`, `SM_Hollywood_6806`, `SM_Hollywood_6902`, `SM_Hollywood_6922`, `SM_LeeDrug_6800` | South block frontage (6 buildings) |
+| `SM_Madame_Tussauds`, `SM_TCL_Chinese_Theatre` | North-side buildings (within 50 m) |
+
+### Art Pipeline
+
+Python scripts in `Tools/` drive the content pipeline:
+
+| Script group | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `export_*`, `hero_facade_build` | Blender headless export (FBX) |
+| `ue_import_*`, `ue_hero_facade_import` | Unreal headless import + placement |
+| `ue_build_demo_map`, `ue_build_review_map` | Map assembly (lighting, meshes, player start) |
+| `ue_create_input_assets` | Enhanced Input actions + mapping context |
+| `render_screenshots.sh` | Screenshot capture pipeline |
+| `judge_screenshot.py` | Vision-model pre-check (optional) |
+| `input_emulation.py`, `input_test.py` | OS-level virtual keyboard/mouse injection for input verification |
+| `Tools/tests/` | Stdlib `unittest` tests for the pure parts of the tools (`requirements-tools.txt`) |
+| `Geo/tools/mapbox_buildings.py` | Second height source: Mapbox `mapbox-streets-v8` building data vs our OSM heights |
+
+Source data: `Art/blender/` (`.blend` files), `Geo/` (OSM extracts, DEM, verification docs).
+
+### QA & Review
+
+- `AGigLineShotActor` walks fixed cameras in `-game` mode, captures PNGs, and quits.
+
+- `-qaselftest` switch on `AGigLineCharacter` runs a core-ticker harness: walk 2 s, reset, pause/unpause, ground transect — all PASS/FAIL logged.
+
+- `Screenshots/` holds committed PNGs and `README.md` approval table.
+
+## Level 2
+
+### White Box Gameplay — Input Flow
+
+1. `AGigLineCharacter::SetupPlayerInputComponent` binds `IA_*` actions to `MoveForward`, `MoveBack`, `MoveStrafe`, `MoveLeft`, `Look`, `StartJump`/`StopJump`, `ResetToStart`, `TogglePause`.
+
+2. Movement delegates to `ApplyMove(Forward, Strafe)` → `AddMovementInput`.
+
+3. Look applies yaw/pitch scaled by `LookSensitivity` (Y invertable via `bInvertLookY`).
+
+4. `ResetToStart` teleports to `StartLocation` (captured on first grounded frame), clears velocity, resets control rotation.
+
+5. `TogglePause` toggles `APlayerController::SetPause`, swaps input mode between `FInputModeGameOnly` and `FInputModeUIOnly`, shows/hides mouse cursor.
+
+### White Box Site — Collision Model
+
+- Every site mesh (road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing) is `STATIC` with `BlockAll` collision.
+
+- `Terrain_DEM` uses `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple` (forced by `UGigLineAssetTools` at build time, saved on the asset).
+
+- The terrain corridor is carved to half-width 10.7 m around the road centreline so the player can walk the carriageway and both sidewalks.
+
+- Ground Z: north sidewalk 395, road 366, south sidewalk 317 (3.94 m fall along the block, matching the DEM).
+
+# Runtime View
+
+## Walk the block
+
+1. Player launches game → `AGigLineGameModeBase` spawns `AGigLineCharacter` at `PlayerStart` `(-13336, -1150, 600)`.
+
+2. Character falls 144 cm to road surface (Z 456) and begins walking. `StartLocation` captured on first grounded frame.
+
+3. Player holds W → `IA_Move` fires → `ApplyMove(1, 0)` → `AddMovementInput(ForwardVector, 1)` → capsule moves at 450 cm/s.
+
+4. Mouse move → `IA_Look` fires → yaw/pitch applied to controller rotation → camera follows (attached to capsule at 160 cm eye height).
+
+5. Player presses R → `ResetToStart` → teleport to `StartLocation`/`StartRotation`, `StopMovementImmediately`, reset control rotation.
+
+6. Player presses Escape → `TogglePause` → `SetPause(true)`, switch to `FInputModeUIOnly`, show cursor. World timers stop; core tickers continue.
+
+7. Player presses Escape again → `TogglePause` → `SetPause(false)`, switch to `FInputModeGameOnly`, hide cursor.
+
+## Screenshot capture
+
+1. `Tools/render_screenshots.sh` compiles editor, builds `ReviewMap` from `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`, launches game in `-game` mode.
+
+2. `AGigLineShotActor` iterates the camera list, sets view, calls `HighResShot 1280x720`, waits for capture.
+
+3. On last camera, requests engine quit. PNGs are copied to `Screenshots/` and committed.
+
+## QA self-test (`-qaselftest`)
+
+1. Core ticker starts at `BeginPlay` (not a world timer — world timers freeze on pause).
+
+2. 1.0 s: begin driving forward input.
+
+3. 3.0 s: stop, measure displacement (> 200 cm = PASS).
+
+4. 3.5 s: call `ResetToStart`.
+
+5. 4.0 s: measure distance from spawn (< 100 cm = PASS).
+
+6. 4.5 s: call `TogglePause`, check `IsGamePaused()` (= true = PASS).
+
+7. 5.5 s: call `TogglePause`, check `IsGamePaused()` (= false = PASS).
+
+8. 6.0 s: swept ground transect across three lanes (Y −1400, −167, +1000), X −14900 to −9420 at 200 cm spacing. 84 samples, 0 holes = PASS.
+
+9. 7.0 s: final verdict logged.
+
+## Build and import pipeline
+
+1. Blender headless (`Tools/export_*.py`) reads `.blend` files, applies metre→centimetre conversion, exports FBX with `ue_metric_v1` preset.
+
+2. Unreal headless (`Tools/ue_import_*.py`) imports FBX via Interchange, places meshes at geographic coordinates, sets collision profiles.
+
+3. `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py` assembles `DemoMap`: creates/repositions actors, sets lighting, saves map and assets.

+
+## Infrastructure Level 1 — Development Workstation
+
+| Node | Specification |

+
+No server infrastructure. The game is a standalone executable.
+
+# Cross-cutting Concepts
+
+## Coordinate system and scale
+
+- **Source CRS**: EPSG:26911 (UTM zone 11N). Local origin recorded in `Geo/`.
+
+- **Blender**: metres. East → +X, north → +Y (Blender convention).
+
+- **Unreal**: centimetres. East → +X, north → **−Y** (confirmed from street mesh: `Sidewalk_North` Y −1912..−1053, `Sidewalk_South` Y +718..+1447).
+
+- **Conversion**: every exporter calls the metre→centimetre function. Import presets (`ue_metric_v1`, `ue_character_v1`) are named and repeatable.
+
+Rule: place a building only against a neighbour or street mesh, never in isolation.
+
+## Collision model
+
+- Site meshes (road, sidewalks, kerbs, crossing): `STATIC` mobility, `BlockAll` collision profile.
+
+- Terrain: `STATIC`, `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple` (forced by `UGigLineAssetTools` at build time, saved on the asset — the flag lives on the `UStaticMesh`/`UBodySetup`, not the map).
+
+- Buildings: `STATIC`, simple collision (convex hull from mesh).
+
+- Rule: the collision flag must be saved on the asset. Saving only the `.umap` silently reverts it.
+
+## Lighting
+
+- Dynamic-only: `r.AllowStaticLighting=False`. All lights are `MOVABLE`.
+
+- Fixed daytime rig: directional light (sun, −62° pitch), sky light, exponential height fog, post-process volume with fixed exposure.
+
+- Rationale: avoids "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warnings; no bake step; the scene never changes time of day.
+
+## Materials
+
+- All materials authored in Unreal, not carried from Blender (FBX import loses diffuse colours).
+
+- World-space-noise blend nodes for cheap procedural variation (asphalt grain, concrete speckle, stucco roughness).
+
+- Instance parameters where tunable (e.g. wetness, ageing).
+
+## Geographic data provenance
+
+- OSM extract is layout data only — not authoritative for façade, height, or pavement detail.
+
+- DEM from 3DEP 1 m; elevation verified against cross-sections in `Geo/verification/`.
+
+- Reference photography (local, gitignored) drives manual façade work.
+
+## QA harness
+
+- `-qaselftest`: core ticker (not world timer) so pause cannot freeze the test that proves pause works.
+
+- `GigLine SIM` / `GigLine GROUND`: TEMP diagnostic logging, to be removed before release tag.
+
+- Screenshot approval: human must tick `Screenshots/README.md` before visual work is marked done.
+
+# Architecture Decisions
+
+## ADR-1: Dynamic-only lighting for the demo
+
+- **Context**: The demo is a fixed daytime scene. Stationary lights demand a lighting build and produce "LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT" warnings.
+
+- **Decision**: `r.AllowStaticLighting=False`, all lights `MOVABLE`.
+
+- **Consequences**: No bake step, no warning, simpler iteration. Slightly higher GPU cost per frame (no baked shadows) — acceptable for the demo scope.
+
+## ADR-2: Materials authored in Unreal, not imported from Blender
+
+- **Context**: FBX→Unreal import maps all Blender diffuse colours to white. Flat colour materials do not survive the pipeline.
+
+- **Decision**: Build all materials (asphalt, concrete, stucco, façade stone, road paint) directly in Unreal with procedural nodes.
+
+- **Consequences**: Materials cannot be previewed in Blender look-dev. Must round-trip to Unreal for visual check. But: full PBR control, world-space noise, no import surprise.
+
+## ADR-3: Complex-as-simple collision on terrain via C++ helper
+
+- **Context**: UE 5.8 removed `bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision`. Python cannot set `CollisionTraceFlag` on `StaticMesh`/`BodySetup` at all. The Interchange default is bbox-only simple collision, which placed an invisible lid 8 m above the street.
+
+- **Decision**: `UGigLineAssetTools::SetComplexCollisionAsSimple` (C++) forces `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple` and saves the asset.
+
+- **Consequences**: One C++ helper class. The flag must be saved on the asset (not just the map). No Python workaround exists.
+
+## ADR-4: Reset captures StartLocation on first grounded frame
+
+- **Context**: `BeginPlay` captures `StartLocation` at the PlayerStart, which is above grade (Z 600) so the capsule does not spawn embedded. Every reset dropped the player 1.4 m back into the air.
+
+- **Decision**: Repeating 0.25 s timer captures `StartLocation` once the character reports `IsMovingOnGround()`, then clears itself.
+
+- **Consequences**: Reset is correct. A one-shot timer at 2 s is wrong (fires after walking begins, records mid-stride position).
+
+## ADR-5: Core ticker for QA self-test, not world timer
+
+- **Context**: Pausing the game stops world timers. A timer-driven test freezes exactly when it proves pause works.
+
+- **Decision**: `FTSTicker::GetCoreTicker()` drives the `-qaselftest` harness.
+
+- **Consequences**: Test runs even while paused. Must be enabled explicitly (`-qaselftest`), never in normal play.
+
+## ADR-6: South = +Y, north = −Y in Unreal
+
+- **Context**: The street mesh established this convention: `Sidewalk_North` has Y range −1912..−1053, `Sidewalk_South` has +718..+1447.
+
+- **Decision**: Adopt it project-wide. Never place a building by assumption; always verify against a street mesh or neighbour.
+
+- **Consequences**: Matches Blender’s north→+Y after the Y-flip in the `ue_metric_v1` export preset.
+
+## ADR-7: Headless Blender via bpy scripts, not MCP
+
+- **Context**: Blender skill packs assume an MCP server; the project does not run one.
+
+- **Decision**: All Blender work driven by Python scripts in `Tools/`. Skill packs used as method guides (checklists, naming, proportions) only.
+
+- **Consequences**: Scripts are version-controlled and repeatable. No live Blender session needed for CI.

+
+## Quality Scenarios
+
+| ID | Source/Stimulus | Response | Metric |

+| QS-1 | Player walks both sides of the demo | No fall-through, character stays at ground Z | 0 raycast holes in 84-sample transect |
+| QS-2 | Player holds W for 2 s on flat road | Character moves forward | ≥ 200 cm displacement, Z constant within ±5 cm |

+| QS-7 | Fresh checkout + engine install | Build succeeds | Exit code 0, runnable binary produced |
+
+# Risks and Technical Debts
+
+| ID | Risk / Debt | Priority | Mitigation |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| R-1 | Terrain bbox proxy misdiagnosed as fall-through — already fixed, but the root-cause path (Interchange defaults to simple collision) could recur on reimport | High | `UGigLineAssetTools` runs in the build script; always reassert complex-as-simple after any reimport. Documented in `MEMORY.md` and ADR-3. |
+| R-2 | Blosm 3Dsimple on Blender 5.2 — worked around, not resolved; `3Drealistic` mode untested | Medium | Pin Blosm 2.7.28 and Blender 5.2 LTS; test realistic mode before depending on it. |
+| R-3 | Kerb height is an assumption (DEM does not resolve it) | Medium | Record the assumption in `Geo/verification/`; measure from reference photography if possible; mark as unresolved until verified. |
+| R-5 | `GigLine SIM` / `GigLine GROUND` TEMP diagnostic logging still in `GigLineCharacter.cpp` | Medium | Strip behind a cvar or remove entirely before the `v0.1.0` release tag. |
+| TD-1 | Materials are Unreal-only — no Blender preview round-trip | Low | Accepted (ADR-2). Look-dev happens in UE; screenshot review catches issues. |
+| TD-2 | No CI pipeline — all builds and QA are manual on the dev workstation | Low | Acceptable for `0.x`. CI is a `0.3.0+` concern. |
+
+# Glossary
+
+| Term | Definition |
+| --- | --- |
+| Blosm | Blender add-on (2.7.28) that imports OSM data as 3D building and street blockouts. Used for layout only — not authoritative for façade or height. |
+| PIE | Play In Editor — an Unreal Editor feature that runs the current map as a live game session inside the editor window, with full game code, input, and physics, without packaging a build. Used for interactive verification (walk, reset, pause) before the scripted QA self-test. |
+| Complex-as-simple collision | `CTF_UseComplexAsSimple`: Unreal collision mode where the render mesh triangles are used as the collision surface, instead of a simplified proxy. Required for terrain so the player walks on the actual ground shape. |
+| DEM | Digital Elevation Model. 3DEP 1 m resolution GeoTIFF covering the demo bounds. Source of terrain heightfield. |
+| El Capitan | El Capitan Entertainment Centre, 6838 Hollywood Blvd. The hero building of the demo. |
+| Enhanced Input | Unreal’s modern input system (UE 5+). Uses Input Actions (`IA_*`) and Input Mapping Contexts (`IMC_*`) instead of legacy axis/action bindings. |
+| EPSG:26911 | UTM zone 11N, the projected CRS used for the demo area. Local origin recorded in `Geo/`. |
+| Hero façade | The detailed, reference-calibrated model of the El Capitan building frontage. |
+| MPFB | MakeHuman Plugin for Blender (2.0.18). Generates parametric human base meshes with rigs and baked materials. |
+| PlayerStart | Unreal actor that defines where the player pawn spawns. Positioned above grade so the capsule does not embed in the floor on spawn. |
+| QA self-test | The `-qaselftest` command-line switch that runs an automated behaviour check (walk, reset, pause, ground transect) via a core ticker. |
+| Site | The terrain, road, sidewalks, kerbs, and crossing markings — the ground-level infrastructure of the demo area. |
+| Squash merge | Git merge strategy that compresses all branch commits into one commit on `main`, keeping a linear history. |
+| Swept transect | A QA technique that raycasts vertically at regular intervals along a path (e.g. every 200 cm along both sidewalks and the carriageway) and counts holes (misses). Zero holes = the block is fully walkable. |
+| UE | Unreal Engine — Epic Games' real-time 3D creation platform (version 5.8.4 in this project). Comprises the Unreal Editor (including PIE, content browser, viewport, blueprint editor), a C++ game framework, and runtime systems for rendering (Vulkan RHI on Linux), physics (Chaos), and input (Enhanced Input). The game project is `GigLine.uproject`; game code is a single C++ module in `Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/`. |
+| World Partition | Unreal's world composition system for large open-world levels. Not yet used in `0.1.0` but planned for `0.3.0+` driving routes. |
+| Y convention | In Unreal, south = +Y, north = −Y (confirmed from street mesh orientation). In Blender, north = +Y; the `ue_metric_v1` export preset flips Y. |

+- Movement is relative to where you are looking (controller yaw), so the capsule

+- The mouse is captured on launch, so looking works without clicking first.
+  `Escape` toggles the capture as part of pause.
+- Bindings are Enhanced Input actions in `/Game/Input` built by
+  `Tools/ue_create_input_assets.py`; the mapping context is `IMC_Default`.

+`Tools/input_test.py` injects OS-level keyboard/mouse events through a virtual

 ## Open decisions

- **ODbL posture.** Decide whether distributed builds contain a derived geographic database (a modified OSM extract) or only rendered geometry. The answer changes the share-alike obligations for the shipped product. Record the decision here and in the release notes.
 - **Reference photography retention.** Decided 2026-11-06: reference images are **not** committed. Licensing is not the gate for local, private development use, so images are simply kept out of the repository (`Art/reference/` is gitignored) and their provenance stays in the local sidecars. The gate moves to the shipped output: if a shipped asset would derive from a reference photograph, that is a release-time licensing decision, recorded in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` before the asset ships.
+- **ODbL posture for OSM-derived geometry.** Decided 2026-11-08: the shipped streets/footprints/sidewalks are a Produced Work of the OpenStreetMap database. Obligations held: on-screen attribution (HUD), ODbL link, and the source extract committed with provenance. Share-alike applies to the data layer only; project code and art stay CC0.

+# ODbL review — OpenStreetMap-derived data in the shipped build
+
+Status: **decision recorded 2026-11-08** (closes the TODO "Review ODbL obligations" item).
+
+## 1. What OSM data the project touches
+
+| Use | Where it lives | In the shipped build? |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Raw OSM extract (Hollywood block, 2026-11-06) | `Geo/raw/osm-api-map-2026-11-06.osm` (+2 building ways `.json`), committed | No — dev data only, not packed |
+| Blosm blockout geometry (streets, building footprints, sidewalks) | Crates/site meshes derived from the extract, imported to Unreal | **Yes** — the walkable block geometry derives from OSM layout |
+| USGS 3DEP DEM elevation | `Geo/raw/dem-3dep-1m-26911-2026-11-06.tif` | Yes — but public domain (US Government work), independent of ODbL |
+
+So the shipped build contains **buildings, streets and sidewalks whose footprints come from OSM data** (layout geometry). That geometry is a **derivative database/knowledge extract** under the ODbL framing.
+
+## 2. ODbL obligations (Open Database Licence 1.0)
+
+ODbL = Open Database Licence (Open Data Commons, version 1.0). The OSM community contract uses it for the OpenStreetMap database.
+
+Key obligations when you **redistribute or produce a derivative database**:
+
+1. **Attribution** — credit the database, with a notice visible to users, and provide a link to the licence.
+2. **Share-alike** — a derivative database (including a "Produced Work" from it) must be offered under ODbL, and changes must be made available.
+3. **Keep the data open** — do not add technical or legal restrictions that prevent others from using the database under ODbL.
+4. **No database right / extraction limits** — substantial extraction/use must follow the licence's "extraction and reuse" terms.
+
+Important nuance: ODbL governs the **database** (the OSM data as a collection and the knowledge it encodes). **Separate creative content** — art, code, models authored by the project — is not a "database" and does not carry the share-alike obligation. The game's own code and artist-authored geometry are project-owned (CC0 per `LICENSE`).
+
+## 3. Where the project stands
+
+| Obligation | Held by | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Attribution in the game | **Yes** — on-screen credit every frame | `AGigLineHUD` draws "© OpenStreetMap contributors" and "Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 — openstreetmap.org/copyright" bottom-left (`GigLineHUD.h` lines 29/33) |
+| Attribution in the repo | **Yes** — provenance + licence recorded | `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` Geographic data table; `Geo/manifests/2026-11-06-osm-api-map.md` |
+| Licence text available | **Yes** — link + notice | HUD link to openstreetmap.org/copyright (ODbL); THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES points at ODbL 1.0 |
+| Source data available (share-alike enabler) | **Yes** — the exact extract is committed, with bbox/date/hash | `Geo/raw/osm-api-map-2026-11-06.osm` + manifest |
+| Derivative database offered under ODbL | **Recorded as a decision** — see §4 | This document |
+
+## 4. Decision: posture for the derived geometry
+
+The OSM-derived block geometry (streets, footprints, sidewalks) is treated as a
+**Produced Work / derivative database** of the OpenStreetMap database.
+
+- The **share-alike obligation is accepted for the data layer only**. The
+  release must carry: (a) the on-screen attribution (implemented), (b) the ODbL
+  link (implemented), and (c) an offer of the OSM source for the geometry —
+  satisfied by the committed raw extract plus its manifest.
+- **Project creative work (code, shaders, artist-authored façades, textures) is
+  NOT under ODbL.** It remains project-owned CC0 (see `LICENSE`) and carries no
+  share-alike obligation. Only geometry that can be argued to encode OSM
+  database facts (streets, building footprints, sidewalk layouts) is in scope.
+- **No new obligation is created by the DEM**: 3DEP is US Government public
+  domain and is independent of ODbL.
+- **Do not** import OSM imagery/panoramas as textures (OSM map tiles or aerial
+  imagery are separately licensed); the project already treats OSM as layout
+  only (`Docs/licensing.md` rule 3).
+
+Release checklist items this lands:
+
+- [x] In-game attribution shown (HUD).
+- [x] ODbL notice + link (HUD + THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES).
+- [x] Source OSM data committed with provenance (manifest: date, bbox, SHA-256).
+- [x] Posture recorded here for the release gate.
+
+## 5. Remaining (tracked separately)
+
+- **Blosm add-on licence** is still `pending` in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES (tool-only,
+  not distributed — must be checked once, not a release blocker for ODbL).
+- Façade signage/trademarks: separate rights from the photograph, own the
+  geometry; not an ODbL question (see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES "Reference
+  photography" rules).
+
+## 6. Sources checked
+
+- ODbL text: <https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/>
+- OSM licence summary: <https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright>
+- ISPRS/ODbL practice notes on derived game geometry from OSM footprints
+  (objective standard: attribution + produced-work offer, share-alike limited
+  to the data layer).
+
+Not reviewed here (out of scope for this item): engine redistribution terms
+(Epic), MPFB asset terms, street-prop reuse terms — all tracked in
+`THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`.

 # Release checks

-Every version in `ROADMAP.md` ends with release checks. A version is not tagged until all of its checks pass. If a check fails, do not tag; open a patch task in `ROADMAP.md` and report the failing check in `CHANGELOG.md`.
+Every version in `TODO.md` ends with release checks, and the scope and goal of each version are in `ROADMAP.md`. A version is not tagged until all of its checks pass. If a check fails, do not tag; open a patch task in `TODO.md` and report the failing check in `CHANGELOG.md`.

 Record results in the table at the end of this file, with the date, the exact build under test, and the evidence (screenshot, log, or command output). A check without recorded evidence counts as failed.

 ## General checks (every release)

+0. **Blender pre-check (before the engine pass).** `Art/blender/site/site_assembly.py` raycasts both sidewalks and the designated crossing on a 1 m grid and reports holes and step heights. It is evidence, not the check: the engine traversal below is still required.
+
 1. **Fresh checkout builds.** Clone into a clean directory, `git lfs pull`, build and package using only the documented external engine installation. No machine-specific paths, no uncommitted steps.
 2. **No packaging errors.** The packaged build launches, reaches gameplay, and quits cleanly. Logs contain no missing-asset, missing-map, or shader-compile errors.
 3. **Licensing.** Every new asset has provenance in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`, or is recorded as unresolved and kept out of the build.

+
+### Deliberate deviations recorded
+
+- **North/south building surfaces are flat blockouts** (bloblike, no façade detail). Detail texturing/façade style is the planned `0.1.4` (Proper building façades) work; placement and massing are what this check verifies.
+- **Kerb upstand 0.13 m as built vs 0.15 m assumed**; the DEM cannot resolve a kerb — tracked in `0.1.1` (Kerb height assumption).
+- **Sidewalk surface detail** (railings, pavers, domes) not modelled — outside `0.1.0` scope.
+- **Crossing ramps are kerb flushes, not graded ramps** — the `0.1.1` Crossing ramp gradient item.
+- Site identity (the neoclassical hero with motto band) matches the 2009 façade photograph and the 1922 Masonic elevation within blockout fidelity.
+
+Pre-check method: `Tools/judge_screenshot.py` (vision model) flagged the simplified
+flat surfaces as "unexpected" — those flags are the deliberate deviations above, not
+placement errors. Final verdict is by human review of the shots in `Screenshots/demo/`.
+
+## `0.1.0` — Collision and packaging — audit note (2026-11-08)
+
+Run on the packaged build (`GigLineQA`, Development, Vulkan SM5) with `-qaselftest`.
+
+- **Transect (holes/gaps):** 1456 samples over 16 rows — lane centres **plus the
+  kerb/road/sidewalk seam Ys** (−1382, −1053, +718, +1047 and neighbours) and
+  X −20000..−2000. Result **0 holes**. (The old 84-sample check covered only 3
+  lane centres; the seam rows are what this check adds.)
+- **Invisible-wall probe:** horizontal traces 30 m long, grounded at 160 cm above
+  the local ground, along the road and both seam rows. Result **0/35 blocking hits
+  inside 21 m** — no invisible walls or misplaced blockers in the street envelope.
+- **Facade occlusion probe:** from the road centre, 40 m traces sideways at walking
+  height toward each frontage, required only where the map stages a building (the
+  spans are listed in `AGigLineCharacter` and mirror `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py`).
+  Result **0/9 directions without a blocking wall** — the player cannot walk
+  through the hero or the frontage. This probe found the hero façade had **no
+  simple collision** at all (complex-only, so traces and capsule sweeps passed
+  through it); it is now `UseComplexAsSimple`. Auto-generated convex hulls were
+  tried first and rejected: on a 95-part, 26 m façade they bulged into the street
+  (the wall probe went 0/35 → 2/35).
+  (First pass used a fixed Z 160 start; the street is at Z ~366, so the probe
+  started inside the earth and reported every row as a dist-0 blocker. Grounding
+  the probe fixed that measurement bug.)
+- **Walk / reset / pause:** 761 cm in 2 s (Z steady 456), reset 0 cm, pause
+  `IsGamePaused()=1`, unpause 0 — all PASS.
+- Packaging: the packaged build launches, reaches gameplay, and the QA run quits
+  cleanly. The `GigLineShotActor` screenshot rounds are suppressed under
+  `-qaselftest` so they cannot quit the run before the audit phases.
+- Caveat recorded: ground Z extremes (−12 m / 3000 cm) are trace-start/terrain-edge
+  artifacts of the widened extent, not walkable holes — the walkable corridor is
+  continuous (walk + transect both PASS).
+
+## `0.1.0` — 60 FPS at 1440p — record (2026-11-08)
+
+**Build under test:** packaged `GigLineQA` Development, UE **5.8.4**, Vulkan SM5,
+NVIDIA 615.78.08 (RTX 5070 Ti), Bazzite, Ryzen 7 7700X, 64 GB RAM.
+
+**Documented quality preset** (applied via `-ExecCmds`): all scalability groups at
+3 = Epic — `sg.ViewDistanceQuality 3, sg.ShadowQuality 3,
+sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality 3, sg.ReflectionQuality 3, sg.PostProcessQuality 3,
+sg.TextureQuality 3, sg.EffectsQuality 3, sg.FoliageQuality 3, sg.ShadingQuality 3`.
+
+**Upscaling state (recorded from the run):** `r.AntiAliasingMethod=4` → **TSR on**,
+default screen percentage, `r.VSync=0` (**off**), frame generation **off/unavailable**
+(`r.Streamline.FrameGeneration.Mode` absent → -999).
+
+**Route:** the deterministic `-qaselftest` traversal — spawn
+`(-13336,-1150,456)`, walk forward (+Y) into the block for 2 s. Frame times are
+captured every frame over that route (829 frames), not a single sample.
+
+**Result at 2560×1440:**

+| p95 | 2.71 ms |
+| p99 | 3.01 ms (≈332 fps) |
+| Max | 4.00 ms |
+
+**Verdict: PASS** — worst-case p99 is ~3 ms (≈330 fps), far above the 60 FPS
+target without frame generation.
+
+**Variance note:** two back-to-back runs measured ~9.2 ms (≈108 fps) when another
+game instance / busy compositor overlapped the capture; repeated clean runs
+(windowed and fullscreen, Wayland and X11 drivers, window focused) all measured
+~2.4–2.5 ms. The high outlier is recorded here rather than hidden.
