Two defects from the 0.2.0 review, both fixed and both measured. - Fingers splayed because the bind is an A-pose hand. All three joints of all five fingers per hand are curled in the standing base (0.28/0.34/0.22 rad), with the curl axis probed on the rig first. The front shot now shows relaxed hands. - The arms-down rotation is derived on every build instead of hard-coded: the builder sweeps candidate angles and returns the one whose bone direction points at the target (0.60 rad, direction dot 1.000 this build). The old 0.55 was a hand-swept constant. - Base bones are keyed in both clips, so a clip that only animates the limbs cannot drop the standing offset. Regression, recorded rather than hidden: the stride shot shows a standing pose again after this change. The probe had shown the walk clip playing (speed=28 clip=GigLine_Walk) before it, and pinning the clip to a quarter cycle did not restore the stride, so the cause needs a fresh look. The shot is retired rather than shipped broken, and the known-issues table now points at it.
Gig Line
A Linux-first Unreal Engine game about walking and driving through a real city. The first release, 0.1.0, is a walkable exterior demo around 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre, covering the south-side frontage between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive plus the north-side frontage within 50 m of the boulevard.
Status
0.1.0 is in progress. The workstation, engine, geo pipeline and project bootstrap are done and verified; a walkable DemoMap exists with terrain, street, sidewalks, kerbs and the hero façade placed from measured coordinates. Façades are still blockouts, and materials are flat colours — both are planned patches.
Current tasks are in TODO.md and the development plan is in ROADMAP.md; what was learned the hard way is in MEMORY.md.

Getting started
git lfs install # required: content, images, audio, and geo files are LFS-tracked
git lfs pull
Tools/check-lfs.sh # verifies the lfs filter is active and files are stored as pointers
The engine is installed outside the repository and pinned in Docs/toolchain.md. Setup is in Docs/setup.md; building and the content pipeline are in Docs/build.md.
