Consolidated from the qa-input-collision-fix-0.1.0 work, applied onto main so only the changes main genuinely lacks are carried (main already merged the walkable-demo/collision work independently). - fix(input): populate the UE 5.8 FInputMappingContextMappingData DefaultKeyMappings field in ue_create_input_assets.py (the runtime reads GetMappings()->DefaultKeyMappings.Mappings; the script previously wrote only the deprecated 'mappings' array, so the cooked game had 0 runtime mappings and every key silently did nothing — in packaged AND PIE). Regenerated IMC_Default.uasset. WASD/mouse/Space/R/Escape verified working. - fix(build): drop editor-only APIs that break the game target build — UStaticMesh::PostEditChange() (GigLineAssetTools) and AActor::GetActorLabel() (character ground probe). GigLine and GigLineEditor now both compile clean. - tools: OS-level uinput input harness (input_emulation.py + input_test.py) and run_pie.sh for PIE isolation; document the PIE-vs-packaged input test in Docs/build.md. Removed the temporary SIM/EI/screenshot diagnostics from the character.
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.
