+### Intake inspection (`inspect`)
+
+`audit` reads accessor-local bounds and ignores node transforms, so it is the right
+release gate but a poor first look at a downloaded or newly authored GLB. `inspect`
+imports the file into Blender, clears parents and applies object transforms, then
+reports what the scene actually contains:
+
+```bash
+# one asset, a batch, or an external download; repeat --file as needed
+flatpak run org.blender.Blender --background \
+  --python "$PWD/tools/blender_assets.py" -- inspect \
+  --file "$PWD/assets/models/blender/npc/npc_casual.glb" \
+  --file "$PWD/tmp/downloads/SomeCharacter.glb"
+# machine-readable, for intake scripts
+... -- inspect --file "$PWD/tmp/x.glb" --json
+# force a contract family instead of inferring it from the path
+... -- inspect --file "$PWD/tmp/x.glb" --category npc
+```
+
+It prints triangles (with the category budget), raw and seam-split vertex counts,
+Godot-space bounds with height/feet for characters, whether transforms had to be
+applied, mesh nodes and armatures, bone names, materials, UV layers, skinning and
+animation count. Hard contract failures (`issues`) fail the command; advisory
+findings (`warnings`) do not. The category is inferred from the path:
+`blender/npc` → `npc`, `blender/npc_gear` → `npc_gear`, `blender/props` and
+`generated` → `props`, anything else → `external` (measured but with no project
+budget or rig contract).
+
+Caveats:
+
+- The glTF importer adds a bone-display mesh (`Icosphere`, used as
+  `pose_bone.custom_shape`). `inspect` excludes custom-shape helpers so they never
+  pollute bounds or the unskinned list.
+- Bounds and bone rests are converted from Blender Z-up to Godot Y-up (`x, z, -y`),
+  matching the contract bands and the audit's coordinate space.
+- Numbers are Blender-side measurements. They agree with `audit` on project assets
+  (same triangle and glTF vertex counts), but `audit` stays the single final gate:
+  it is stdlib-only, runs in CI, and matches what the engine imports.
+- `inspect` never writes or adapts the file; scale/grounding/weld/retarget work is the
+  separate (not yet built) `adapt` step.
