Owner decision: adopt the two findings from the Mapbox cross-check. - LEVEL_HEIGHT 3.2 -> 3.1 m in block_height_report.py and the Blosm --level-height default; every levels-derived building drops ~0.6 m per 6 levels, matching Mapbox. - HEIGHT_OVERRIDES for the three rear building=yes/apartments structures that Mapbox gives as single storey (3.0 m) where our 2-level fallback rendered 6.4 m blocks. - classify_height() takes an optional way_id so overrides apply; the Mapbox cross-check passes it and now reports 66 match / 6 non-building / 0 disagree. - Geometry follows: blockout regenerated at 3.1 (frontage object names preserved, 6/6 exported), frontage re-imported, DemoMap rebuilt, packaged -qaselftest PASS (walk, reset, pause, transect 0 holes, wall probe 0/35). - Docs: Art/blender/README scale table + a note that Blosm adds ~1.9 m roof mass above levels x levelHeight; TODO item closed; MEMORY records the gotcha that blockout regeneration must re-verify the element.* frontage mapping.
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.
