Reference images are development-only material: licensing is not a gate for local private use, so they are simply never committed. Art/reference/ is now gitignored; the licensed status of anything shipped is still recorded in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md. Adds Tools/commons_fetch.py, which fetches Wikimedia Commons imagery by search or exact title and writes a provenance sidecar, plus Docs/reference-notes-hollywood.md recording what each local set is evidence for.
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
Pre-production. Workstation setup and repository scaffolding are in progress; no engine, content, or geographic data is committed yet. Current state is tracked in ROADMAP.md, and the per-task setup state in Docs/setup.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. The full procedure is in Docs/setup.md.
