zwitschi 040cdb6bd6 docs(review): cut the review to intro, signoff list and embedded images
249 -> 43 lines. Short intro, a seven-item signoff checklist, and the four demo
captures embedded inline with one line of expected content and the current metric
each. The long defect/evidence tables move to Docs/qa/0.1.4-facade-qa.md and the
git history, where they belong.

All four image links verified to resolve.

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. Tick each row you accept; anything not ticked is still open. Mechanical checks (blank/size/tone) already pass via python3 Tools/visual_loop.py --verify.

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.

Signoff

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

1. Block from the north sidewalk

Block from the north sidewalk

Expected: the neoclassical hero façade between its neighbours, both sidewalks and the road in the foreground. Metric: 0.68 similarity, edges 0.28× reference.

2. Street level

Street level

Expected: the hero colonnade with adjacent frontage buildings either side, shopfronts at pavement level, 4.96 m bay rhythm. Metric: 0.33, edges 0.27×.

3. The designated crossing

Crossing

Expected: continental zebra bars on the asphalt at s=130 m, south frontage and colonnade behind. Metric: 0.42, edges 0.34×.

4. North-side buildings

North buildings

Expected: TCL Chinese Theatre and Madame Tussaud's across Hollywood Blvd, full height in frame. Metric: 0.34, edges 0.14×.


Notes for the decision: every defect found in this cycle that survived more than one render was a placement error, not a shading one (a 119 m frame shift, a kit 12 km off, a marquee mirrored across the street). Placement is now probed rather than eyeballed, so the remaining risk in these four images is likeness, not correctness. The low edge ratios are partly structural — a wide block view compared with a tight façade crop always scores low — so weigh the images, not the scores.
