"""Turn the provided hot-hatch .blend into UE-ready assets.

    blender -b "Art/blender/vehicle/hot hatch.blend" \
        --python Tools/vehicle_from_template.py -- \
        --out /tmp/gigline/hatch --report /tmp/gigline/hatch/report.json

Follows two skills:

* **vehicle-artist** — one object per system (body, wheels, glass, lights, trim,
  mirrors), collision planned with the body, LODs planned before export.
* **unreal-export** — scale confirmed with a known dimension, `SM_`/`UCX_` naming,
  LOD chain, and every asset measured after import.

The template is not to scale: its longest axis is 7.21 m, which no hot hatch is. The
tool therefore normalises to a documented real length (default 4.05 m) and records the
factor, rather than exporting whatever units the file happened to use. That is the
"confirm scale with known-dimension test" step, done before the export instead of after
the import.
