UE export hygiene (unreal-export skill checklist) plus a gameplay defect the new probe caught: - FBX export now uses mesh_smooth_type="FACE" (was OFF, which is why every import logged "No smoothing group information was found"), and the round parts are shaded with shade_smooth_by_angle(35 deg) before export, so columns and medallions read round instead of faceted. - SM_HeroFacade had complex-only collision, so capsule sweeps and line traces passed through the wall: the player could walk through the hero facade. auto_generate_collision was tried and rejected (coarse hulls bulged into the street; the QA wall probe went 0/35 -> 2/35). It now uses UseComplexAsSimple, saved on the asset, like the terrain. - New -qaselftest facade occlusion probe: 40 m traces sideways from the road centre at walking height, required only where a building is staged (explicit X spans mirroring ue_build_demo_map). Result 0/9 -> PASS, alongside transect 0 holes and wall probe 0/35. Docs: release-checks records the probe and both collision attempts; Tools/README lists the new phase; MEMORY records the smoothing/collision lessons.

Rules
- Every
.blendsaves with a real-world metric scene scale. No exceptions; scale drift is the main source of import defects. - Named export presets only. Record the preset name and its settings next to the asset that used it.
- Textures enter as a documented source (author, licence, source URL) and are listed in ../THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
- Reference photography is never committed and never shipped. It is evidence, not content. Licensing is not a gate for local private development, but anything that would derive from a reference in a shipped asset needs a licensing decision before release.
.blendfiles are LFS-tracked and lockable; pull before editing.
