release: v0.2.0 — third-person body, animation, stride capture

Writes the 0.2.0 changelog entry with the measured numbers, removes the completed
section from TODO.md (its goal stays in ROADMAP.md) and updates the roadmap status.

Release checks: 8/8 shots verify with 6, 7 and 8 approved; 1440p at 2.64 ms average
(379 fps); -qaselftest passes walk, reset, pause, transect, wall and facade probes;
82 tool tests pass. Known limitations are listed rather than hidden: splayed fingers,
a swept base rotation and unproven camera collision, all marked for later patches.

+## [0.2.0] — 2026-11-09
+
+Third-person body. The pawn gains a visible, animated body and a third-person camera, so the walk cycle is finally something a player can see rather than a clip in an asset list.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`Tools/character_anim_build.py`**: `GigLine_Idle` (60 frames) and `GigLine_Walk` (30 frames) at 30 fps, authored as parametric cycles so the loop closes by construction. Limb axes were **measured** on the rig — a probe rotated `upperleg01.L` by 0.5 rad on each axis and read `foot.L`, which showed X swings the limb fore/aft while Y twists and Z abducts.
+- **Third-person rig** (`ADR-9`): a visible skeletal body, a `USpringArmComponent` with collision testing, and a **V** toggle. One pawn carries both rigs; first person stays the shipped default.
+- **Walk capture harness**: a per-shot `ShotFollow` mode that re-places the review camera every frame in the pawn's frame, plus `SetReviewWalk` / `ReturnToStartForReview`, so a stride is captured deterministically and the fixed-camera shots still find the pawn at spawn.
+- **Review shots 6, 7 and 8** — third-person back, front and mid-stride — embedded in `Screenshots/README.md`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Character export preset now **bakes animation** (`bake_anim`, all actions). Without it the exporter wrote a static bind pose and Unreal imported a mesh with no clips and no error.
+- `Docs/controls.md` documents the V toggle and the review switches; the in-game HUD line reads `WASD move · Mouse look · Space jump · V view · R reset · Esc pause`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`PlayAnimation` on a hidden component never took effect.** The body is hidden at construction and only unhidden by the toggle, so the first call could land before the component was ready; the code now sets `AnimationSingleNode`, calls `SetAnimation` + `Play`, and re-asserts while the instance is missing.
+- **The animation switch restarted the clip every frame**, freezing the body on frame 0.
+- **The importer silently refused to replace the existing assets.** Changing the arm rotation and rebuilding returned the identical bone quaternion every time; `replace_existing` and `delete_asset` both failed because the pawn's constructor hard-references the clips. Importing under a new name (`CharacterV2`) finally landed the change — that is what unblocked the pose after a dozen failed rebuilds.
+- **The review runner copied stale screenshots** from `Saved/`, so a shot retired from the camera list reappeared with byte-identical content from an older run. The folder is cleared before each capture.
+- **Walking was never enabled for the stride shot**: the call sat in the shot sequencer's `BeginPlay`, which runs before the player pawn exists, so the cast silently found nothing and `speed` stayed at 0.
+
+### Verified
+
+- **8 review shots verify**; shots 6, 7 and 8 approved by the owner.
+- **1440p, no frame generation, VSync off**: 759 frames, avg **2.64 ms (379 fps)**, p50 2.54, p95 3.39, p99 3.76, max 4.05 ms — about 2 % over `0.1.5` and 6.3× the 60 fps floor. Series: `Docs/perf/0.2.0-walk-frametimes.csv`.
+- `-qaselftest`: walk, reset 0 cm from spawn, pause/unpause, transect 1456 samples / 0 holes, wall probe 0/35, façade probe 0/9 — all PASS.
+- 82 tool tests pass.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- **The fingers splay** — the bind's finger spread carries into the pose. Deferred to `0.2.2`.
+- **The arms-down rotation was found by sweeping**, not derived: 0.55 rad puts the arms at the sides, 0.65 against the hip, 0.75 into the torso. A derived pose is a `0.2.2` job.
+- **Camera collision is implemented but unproven** — the spawn point has open space behind it, so no shot exercises the boom shortening.
+- The third-person body has no head or hand IK and no turn-in-place; it is a first playable, not a finished character.

 Retail frontage. The two retail buildings beside the hero are modelled from their own photograph instead of the generic kit, and the photograph is treated as evidence: an analysis is written before any geometry, and every dimension the image does not resolve is carried into the part report as an assumption.

+## Changes since `0.1.0`
+
+- **`V` swaps first and third person** (`0.2.0`, `IA_ToggleCamera`). The shipped default view is still first person, as the owner decided for `0.1.0`; third person adds a collision-tested spring-arm camera and a visible, animated body. `Escape` still pauses and releases the mouse in either view.
+
+## Review and harness switches
+
+These are command-line switches for the screenshot pipeline and QA runs, not player controls. They exist so a capture is reproducible rather than dependent on a human pressing keys at the right moment.
+
+| Switch | Effect |
+| --- | --- |
+| `-thirdperson` | Starts the pawn in the third-person rig, so a capture shows the body without anyone pressing `V` |
+| `-walk` | Holds forward input from the first frame — what makes the stride shot possible |
+| `-qaselftest` | Runs the scripted walk / reset / pause / transect checks and quits |
+
+The walking shot is driven per shot rather than by the switch: the shot actor enables the walk only while a tracking (`ShotFollow`) camera is being captured, and returns the pawn to spawn afterwards, so the fixed-camera shots still find it in place.
+
 ## Testing input without a physical keyboard
 
 `Tools/input_test.py` injects OS-level keyboard/mouse events through a virtual `/dev/uinput` device (see `Tools/input_emulation.py`), e.g.:

-# `0.1.4` façade review — signoff
-
-Four demo-map captures from the `facades-0.1.4` branch, after the module kit, the textured materials and the theatre marquee went in. **All seven items signed off 2026-11-09** (owner review of the local renders).
-
-Reference photographs to compare against: `Art/reference/hollywood/` and `Art/reference/el-capitan-*` (local, not committed). Regenerate the set with `Tools/render_screenshots.sh --verify`; measure it with `python3 Tools/visual_loop.py --compare --iteration 5`.

-## Signoff

-- [x] **1. Block from the north sidewalk** — hero between its neighbours, sidewalk and road read correctly
-- [x] **2. Street level** — colonnade, shopfronts and window rhythm hold up at eye height
-- [x] **3. Crossing** — zebra bars, kerb line and the frontage behind
-- [x] **4. North buildings** — TCL and Tussaud's framed across the boulevard
-- [x] **5. Materials** — stone reads as coursed stone, glazing as glass, not flat colour
-- [x] **6. Theatre trim** — marquee and blade sign proportions believable at street level
-- [x] **7. Approve** `v0.1.4` (kit + materials + theatre trim); remaining geometry moves to the next version

-- **Behaviour**, packaged build, `-qaselftest`: walk 761 cm in 2 s (Z steady 456), reset 0 cm, pause/unpause, seam transect 1456 samples / **0 holes**, wall probe **0/35**, façade occlusion probe **0/9** — all PASS. Run twice: the harness is time-based and one loaded run reported a false failure (`walk 246 cm`, `pause FAIL`), an immediate re-run passed — re-run before believing a single FAIL.
-- **Placement**, probed from the live map against `Geo/verification/2026-11-06-el-capitan-block.md`: 6922 −24276…−17700, 6902 −17749…−14591, **hero −14644…−12028 between them**, theatre −12082…−8210, 6822 / 6806 / 6800 −7854…−1437, TCL −22889…−18442, Tussaud's −27071…−22799. Blockout affine residual **0.0 cm**.
-- **Budgets**: hero 148 parts / 3 044 tris · kit 16 meshes × 12 tris · 625 kit actors ≈ 7 500 tris · 8 × 512² textures (196 KB) · 67 tool tests pass.
-- **Topology**: every kit piece manifold, no loose geometry.

-### Defects found this cycle
-
-Every one of these rendered convincingly; the placement ones were caught by coordinate probes, not by looking.
-
-| Sev | Defect | Root cause |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Blocker | Frontage shifted ≈119 m X / 2.4 m Y, hero outside its gap | Blockout regenerated without `--origin` |
-| Blocker | Kit placed ~12 km from its buildings | Used mesh-local bbox; actors carry the offset |
-| Blocker | Marquee on the far side of the boulevard | Blender +Y is Unreal −Y |
-| Major | Marquee canopy 5 cm above the pavement | Absolute Z; pavement is 4.56 m above datum |
-| Major | Window bays invisible, inside the solid wall | Piece modelled entirely at +Y |
-| Major | Glazing wasn't glass | Grey `M_Kit_*` from the FBX import, never overridden |
-| Major | Hero windows floated 1.44 m in front of the wall | Wrong Y in the builder |
-| Major | Parapet medallions were discs on the coping | Built with the Z-axis cylinder helper |
-| Major | Hero had no usable collision | Complex-only; traces use simple |
-| Minor | "No smoothing group information" on every import | `mesh_smooth_type="OFF"` in six exporters |
-| Minor | `save_map()` returned False silently | LFS `.umap` read-only, importer never chmod'd |
-| Minor | North-buildings import silently no-op | Missing `import sys` |
-| Minor | Kit folder held 24 assets (8 orphan materials) | No stale-asset sweep |
-| Minor | Edge-density metric counted PIL's border ring | `FIND_EDGES` leaves a 128 ring |
-| Minor | QA wall probe grazed the theatre wall | Scan row 1 cm from the building line |
-
-### Limitations worth knowing
-
-- Kit pieces are boxes; dentil spacing, abacus and plinth dimensions are recorded assumptions, not measurements.
-- Textures are generated, not authored — no decals, signage text or weathering.
-- The vision pre-check stays advisory: it has rejected shots the owner approved.
-- The low edge ratios in the metrics are partly structural — a wide block view against a tight façade crop always scores low. Weigh the images, not the scores.
-- Performance has not been re-measured since `0.1.0`; the 625 kit actors are unmeasured (tracked in `TODO.md` under `0.1.5`).

+- Owner reviewed the four demo captures locally and approved the set (7/7 items at the time). The signoff lived in `Docs/reviews/0.1.4-review.md`, which was removed on 2026-11-09; the per-shot `Approved` column of `Screenshots/README.md` is now the only record and is authoritative.
 - The three geometry items that `0.1.4` did not finish — retail neighbours from their own references, hero fluting/motto band, blockout cleaning — move to a new **`0.1.5` Façade finishing** patch rather than growing this one, plus a much-needed **1440p performance re-measure** (625 kit actors have never been measured; `0.1.0` measured 414 fps).
 - Decision recorded because it sets a precedent: finish and sign off a version when its _stated_ scope is done, and carry leftover scope into the next patch — do not let a patch accumulate unmeasured geometry.

+
+**Why it needed new harness:** a fixed camera cannot photograph a pawn moving at 4.5 m/s. Three attempts framed it differently every run and two missed it entirely. The shot actor now has a per-shot `ShotFollow` mode that re-places the camera every frame at a fixed offset in the pawn's frame, and the walk is driven per shot, so the capture is deterministic.
+
+**What it proves:** the walk clip plays and advances. The earlier captures of this shot showed one frozen pose because the sequencer's `BeginPlay` ran before the player pawn existed, so the cast that enables walking silently found nothing and `speed` stayed at zero — the probe read `walk=0 speed=0 clip=Idle` every frame. Moving that call into the per-frame follow update fixed it; the capture now logs `walk=1 speed=28 clip=GigLine_Walk` and shows a stride.

-- [x] Generate MPFB human base mesh; export baked materials and deform skeleton. Done in bootstrap: idle-pose 19 158-vert human with a 137-bone standard rig, `Tools/mpfb_character_export.py` (now `--pose idle` + warm `make_diffuse`).
-- [x] Import character into Unreal; validate skeleton, scale, and materials. Done: `/Game/Test/Character` — `SkeletalMesh` (138 bones), `Skeleton`, warm `M_Character_Export` material with baked `T_Character_Diffuse`.
-- [x] Promote the character asset into a reusable NPC prefab (visible body, collision capsule, idle pose) ready for pedestrians (`0.5.0`) once the third-person body lands. Done 2026-11-07: `AGigLineNPCPerson` (see the 0.1.0 Character-development item); `0.5.0` reuses it as the pedestrian base.
-- [x] Create basic idle/walk animation set. Done 2026-11-09: `Tools/character_anim_build.py` authors `GigLine_Idle` (60 f) and `GigLine_Walk` (30 f) at 30 fps from parametric cycles, and `Tools/ue_character_anim_import.py` imports them. Both AnimSequences verified in `/Game/Test/Character`: Idle 1.967 s, Walk 0.967 s. Limb axes were **measured** on the rig, not assumed — the probe rotated `upperleg01.L` 0.5 rad per axis and read `foot.L`, which showed X is the fore/aft swing (Y twists, Z abducts).
-- [x] Verify animation plays correctly on the imported rig. **Fixed 2026-11-09; the character stands with its arms at its sides** (shots 6 and 7). Three defects, each proven by measurement:
-  - `PlayAnimation` on a hidden component never took effect — the code sets `AnimationSingleNode`, calls `SetAnimation` + `Play`, and re-asserts while the single-node instance is missing.
-  - The arms-down rotation had to live in the **clips**, not the bind: every bind experiment was impossible on the shape-keyed MPFB mesh or left Unreal showing the old bind.
-  - **The importer had been silently refusing to replace the existing assets.** Rebuilding with a different arm angle returned the identical clip quaternion every time; importing under a new name (`CharacterV2`) finally landed it. The rotation itself was measured by sweeping it in Blender and reading the bone direction: 0.55 rad gives arms down and clear of the body, 0.75 rad drives them into the torso. Remaining polish, for `0.2.2`: the fingers splay slightly, and the walk clip has still not been captured in motion.
-- [x] Capture the body from a second angle so a front-facing pose defect is visible. `demo-third-person-front` added to the shot list and to `Screenshots/README.md`; the third-person shot alone only showed the pawn's back.
-
-### Camera and controls
-
-- [x] Add third-person camera following the player body. Done 2026-11-09: `USpringArmComponent` + camera on the capsule, boom 340 cm, lag 8, and the body is the animated skeletal mesh with the skin material. Review shot 5 (`demo-third-person`, `Screenshots/README.md`) shows the rig; the shipped default view stays first person.
-- [x] Add first/third-person toggle. **V**, via `IA_ToggleCamera`; the toggle swaps the active camera and the body's visibility. `-thirdperson` on the command line starts in third person so the review is reproducible.
-- [x] Add camera collision to prevent clipping through geometry. The spring arm's collision test (`bDoCollisionTest`, probe 12 cm on `ECC_Camera`) shortens the boom instead of letting the camera pass through a wall. **Not yet exercised against a wall in a shot** — the spawn point has open space behind it, so this is implemented but unproven.
-- [ ] Document any input changes.
-
-### Release checks
-
-- [ ] Third-person traversal works end-to-end in the demo area. **Blocked on a capture harness, not on the game:** walking works (`-walk` holds forward input; the pawn crosses the sidewalk while the third-person rig follows), but a fixed review camera cannot catch a pawn moving at 4.5 m/s — three attempts framed it at a different distance each run and the last two missed it entirely. The stride shot was removed rather than shipped broken. Needs a camera that tracks the pawn (attach the shot camera to the pawn, or drive the capture from a recorded path), then re-add `demo-third-person-walk`.
-- [ ] No blocking animation or rig defects.
-- [ ] Performance target still met at 1440p.
-- [ ] Tag `v0.2.0` and write `CHANGELOG.md` entry; then remove this section.
