+1. **The tourist carried two bag silhouettes. Fixed 2026-11-02.** `_add_props()`
+   created a 0.30 × 0.36 × 0.14 box at `(-0.34, 1.15, -0.18)` for the tourist

+   photo prop is now hidden outside `photo`/`film` poses
+   (`photo_prop_visible_for_pose()`), so it only appears when the character is
+   actually taking a picture; the after frame confirms one bag at rest.
 2. **The face is the largest portrait gap.** The eyes, nose and lips are
    readable but sit on a shallow, faceted head: the eye whites protrude, the
    eyelid/cheek transition is missing, and the mouth is a dark slot. This is
    intentionally stylized, but the head volume and eye socket are the first
    things a player sees at conversation range.
-3. **Backpack straps read as rigid black bars.** The back gear's straps cross
-   the chest as thin, straight geometry with visible gaps from the shoulders,
-   not as fabric sitting on the torso. A player sees this on the most common
-   tourist silhouette in every crowd.
+3. **Backpack straps read as rigid black bars. Refit 2026-11-02.** The straps

+   sits outside the chest; the after sheet shows a continuous strap instead of
+   two detached rods. The backpack asset is now 380 triangles / 406 vertices
