Two parametric cycles authored at 30 fps instead of hand-keyed poses, so the loop closes by construction: GigLine_Idle (60 f, breathing sway, feet planted) and GigLine_Walk (30 f, one stride, hip 0.45 rad / knee 0.55 / arm 0.32, arms counter-phased, torso counter-rotation). The limb axes were measured, not assumed: a probe rotated upperleg01.L by 0.5 rad on each axis and read foot.L, which moved -0.022 -> +0.362 in Y on X, twisted on Y and abducted on Z. Using the wrong axis here would have produced a character scissoring sideways, which no import error would have caught. The character export preset now bakes animation. Without bake_anim the exporter writes a static bind pose and Unreal imports a mesh with no AnimSequence and no error, so the importer asserts a clip exists and prints VERDICT: PASS/FAIL. Verified in /Game/Test/Character: Idle 1.967 s and Walk 0.967 s, both AnimSequences, skeleton intact. Playback on a possessed pawn is not yet verified: the demo pawn has no visible body, so that check belongs with the third-person camera item.
Tooling tests
Standard-library unittest tests for the host-side tools in Tools/. They never start Blender, Unreal, or the game; anything that needs those processes is verified by the tool itself and recorded in Docs/release-checks.md instead.
Run from the repository root:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements-tools.txt
python3 -m unittest discover -s Tools/tests -t Tools -p 'test_*.py'
The -t Tools top-level directory is required: the tests import the tool modules by their plain names (import input_emulation), which is why Tools/tests/ carries an __init__.py.
Individual test:
python3 -m unittest Tools.tests.test_input_emulation -v
What belongs here
Test the pure parts — argument parsing, key/coordinate encoding, geometry maths, licence gating, report formatting, decision classification. Network, Blender and Unreal calls stay out: a test that needs a paid API, a display, or an engine process is a manual check, not a unit test.
When a tool's logic is buried in main(), extract it into a function so it can be tested directly. That is a tooling improvement, not test scaffolding.
Geo (Geo/tools/) and Blender (Art/blender/*/) builders are tested the same way once their pure parts are extracted; note the module path in the test.
