The facade work started as a patch (0.1.4) and the 0.1.6 retail pass showed what
that costs: a patch has no release gate of its own, so a first pass that does not
yet read as the building can sit inside a done patch series. Realism is also the
leading quality goal, which a patch cannot carry.
New 0.9.0 - Realistic buildings, before the feature freeze: facade system with more
than one order, a profile library, storefront types, signage as decals, per-building
photo-matched models, a measured material library with a texel-density rule, and
LODs plus collision proxies. Former 0.9.0 freeze/beta/audit becomes 0.10.0 with
patches 0.10.1-0.10.3; 1.0.0 moves to weeks 39-44.
Recorded as ADR-8 (append-only) with a measurable gate BR-1..BR-5 in the quality
requirements, mirrored into the combined architecture.md. The 0.1.6 item now says
which of its gaps move to 0.9.0 and why more geometry cannot close them.
