zwitschi 7a1eb0be66 chore: keep reference photography local and out of the repository
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.

Tools

Repeatable import/export and processing helpers. Anything that was done twice by hand belongs here.

Conventions

  • One script, one job. No interactive prompts; every input is an argument.
  • Each script documents its input format, output format, and the exact tool version it was tested with.
  • Blender scripts run headless (blender --background --python), so they can be re-run for a regression check.
  • No credentials, no absolute machine paths, no writes outside the project by default.
  • A script that produces game content logs what it produced, so Game/Content can be audited against it.

Planned helpers

  • check-lfs.sh — repository guard (exists): fails if git-lfs or the lfs filter is missing, or if an LFS-tracked file was committed as a plain blob
  • Blender export preset runner (named presets, metric scale assertion)
  • Blender→Unreal scale test (export a known-size cube, verify 100× conversion)
  • OSM extract fetch and manifest writer (records date, bounds, checksum)
  • QGIS processing steps as batch scripts, so the geo cleanup is reproducible rather than GUI-only
