zwitschi bf7dfe1052 feat(hero): sandstone, banners and recessed portals - the material was the missing link
Iterated the loop five times against Art/reference/hero-masonic/. What took the iterations was the material,
not the geometry:

- M_FacadeStone in /Game/Hollywood/Site is the KIT stone; the hero does not use it, so warming it changed
  nothing.
- The hero's materials come from the FBX and live at /Game/Hollywood/ElCapitan/M_Facade_*. Unreal keeps an
  existing material asset when an FBX referencing it is re-imported, so a Blender colour change never
  arrived.
- Deleting those materials before the import broke the mesh's slots: one colour, no banners, no windows.

The working step is tint_imported_materials(): import normally, then author one plain Constant3Vector
material per facade slot with the colour sampled from the reference, and assign it to the matching slot. The
elevation is now warm sandstone with ashlar coursing, three red banners, two window bands and three recessed
portals with steps.

Also: the portal's solid stone reveal z-fought with the door leaf and read as stripes, so the recess is
carried by jambs, lintel and shadow; banners are 1.35 x 6.2 m hung from 7.2 m instead of 1.55 x 5.4.

Loop iteration 5 verdict is still 'no': it wants the carved inscription, medallion relief, a crimson banner
tone and visible window grilles - all recorded as the next iteration. Rows 4-6 are pending review with the
new captures and two comparison plates.

# `shot` defaults to review-hero-facade-front. Every step writes to /tmp/gigline/ so a failure can be
# read back: Unreal commandlets swallow print().
#
# Why a script and not four remembered commands: the loop is run once per modelling change, and the
# order is load-bearing. The Blender save happens BEFORE the FBX export, so a read-only .blend makes
# the build look successful while the old FBX is reused silently - hence the chmod at the top.
