-
-## Why this exists
-
-The game is functionally complete through v0.5.0, but NPCs are still the
-procedural capsule-and-box rig from [ADR-0010](adr/0010-procedural-npc-presentation.md).
-They read as people at conversation distance but not at cinematic distance, and
-every surface on a body is a flat color. ADR-0010 recorded that "a later
-skinned-mesh pass will replace this rig and must keep the `Head` contract" —
-this plan is that pass.
-
-The goal is **better NPCs first**, then a modest environment lift, using the
-existing AI tooling for art direction and quality gates, and **Blender** for the
-geometry, UVs, skeleton, and baked material maps.
-
-## Constraints that shape the plan
-
-- **Renderer is GL Compatibility** (`project.godot` `config/features`). SSAO,
-  SSIL, and volumetrics are unavailable. Quality therefore comes from better
-  meshes, baked maps (AO/normal/roughness), and lighting — not from a renderer
-  switch.
-- **CI builds offline.** `.gitea/workflows/build.yml` runs the Godot editor only
-  (no Blender, no network). Everything the game loads must be committed; the
-  Blender step is a developer tool, and the game keeps a procedural fallback so a
-  fresh checkout still boots and the headless suite still passes.
-- **Determinism.** Seed-driven variety (`outfit_for`, `layer_for`,
-  `hand_item_for`, `idle_style_for`) must keep working and keep its tests green.
-  AI generation is a dev-time input, not a runtime dependency; the committed
-  assets are the source of truth.
-- **Frame budget.** v0.5.0 measured 16 avatars = 534 meshes ≈ 6.9 ms headless.
-  A skinned rig replaces ~33 draw calls per avatar with one skin, but skinning
-  costs CPU. Re-measure with `src/test/smoke_npc_budget.gd` before raising
-  `MAX_LIVE_NPCS`.
-
-## The NPC asset contract (what must not break)
-
-From `src/game/npc_avatar.gd` and `src/game/guard_controller.gd`:
-
-- A scene-level node named **`Rig/Head`** — `GuardController` raycasts for it
-  (`get_node_or_null("Rig/Head")`), and the focus circle + name tag + reaction
-  tag attach under it.
-- Limb pivots currently named `HipL`/`HipR` → `Knee`, `ShoulderL`/`ShoulderR` →
-  `Elbow` → `Hand`. `_animate()` and `_idle_layer()` drive them by `rotation.x`.
-- Pure static helpers must stay pure and seed-deterministic: `outfit_for`,
-  `layer_for`, `hand_item_for`, `idle_style_for`, `queue_slot_for`,
-  `lod_tier_for_distance`, `reaction_label`, `crouch_for_pose`,
-  `prop_lift_for_pose`, `limb_swing`, `sway_for_pose`.
-- LOD tiers (`apply_lod`, 0 / 1 / 2 with a billboard impostor at tier 2) must
-  keep working; `_detail_nodes` are hidden at tier 1.
-- `set_focus_visual`, `_focus_circle`, `_name_tag`, `_reaction_tag`, the
-  theater poses, and the crowd reaction (`start_rubberneck`, `start_flee`) all
-  operate on the rig and must survive the swap.
-
-## Workstreams
-
-### Phase 0 — Toolchain spike and contract freeze (small, throwaway)
-
-1. Confirm headless Blender works in this environment. Blender **5.2.0 LTS**
-   flatpak is installed; the sandbox cwd is `/app/blender`, so `--python` and
-   all input/output paths must be absolute:
-
-   ```bash
-   flatpak run org.blender.Blender --background \
-     --python /var/home/zwitschi/Documents/06-games/security-game/tools/npc_pipeline.py -- --build
-   ```
-
-   Record the working invocation in `MEMORY.md` (the Im-Dornäcker notes already
-   warn about the cwd gotcha).
-2. Freeze the asset contract in writing (this document + ADR-0013). No
-   animation clips are exported: `_animate()` and `_idle_layer()` drive the
-   armature bones directly at runtime, so the GLB only needs the skinned rest
-   mesh, the armature, and the material maps.
-   - `assets/models/generated/npc_base.glb` — one skinned mesh (or a small fixed
-     set of sub-meshes: body / head / hands) with a **named armature** and UVs.
-   - Material slots rather than one atlas-per-prop: `skin`, `cloth`,
-     `pants`, `accessory`, `hair` each carry a neutral albedo + normal + ORM
-     (occlusion/roughness/metallic) map. `outfit_for` colors tint the slot, so
-     multi-color outfits and seed variety survive.
-   - Bone names mirror the current node names (`Head`, `HipL/R`, `KneeL/R`,
-     `ShoulderL/R`, `ElbowL/R`, `HandL/R`) so `_animate()` can target them.
-   - Budget: tier-0 base body ≤ ~6,000 triangles, ≤ ~4,000 vertices (revisit
-     after the first `smoke_npc_budget.gd` run).
-
-### Phase 1 — `tools/npc_pipeline.py`: author + export + audit
-
-New tool, run through the Blender flatpak, mirroring the `model_pipeline.py`
-shape (`list` / `build` / `audit`):
-
-1. **Author** a low-poly base humanoid in Blender: torso, articulated arms/legs,
-   head with a face front (so the focus ring and the "noticed the guard" cue
-   keep a direction), hands, shoes. Keep the current silhouette language
-   (heads, caps, hoods, backpacks, lanyards) so existing `outfit_for`
-   accessories still attach.
-2. **Rig** it with an armature whose bones are named to match the node contract.
-   Godot 4.3 imports glTF skeletons as `Skeleton3D`; keep the bone rest pose
-   matching the current `_animate()` assumptions (arms hang, legs straight,
-   +Y up, origin at the feet on the floor).
-3. **UV-unwrap** into a power-of-two layout and **bake** maps in Blender from
-   node materials or a higher-detail source:
-   - neutral albedo (white fabric pattern) per material slot,
-   - normal map (fabric weave, denim, knit),
-   - ORM map (occlusion in R, roughness in G, metallic in B — same packing
-     `model_pipeline.atlas_for` already uses),
-   - ambient occlusion baked into the albedo or the ORM R channel (this is the
-     Compatibility renderer's only AO source).
-4. **Export** `npc_base.glb` with materials referenced as Godot-importable
-   textures (or export textures alongside and wire them in GDScript — decide in
-   the spike).
-5. **Audit** (`npc_pipeline.py audit`) enforcing: UVs in [0,1], expected bone
-   names present, triangle/vertex budget, feet at y ≈ 0, no missing material
-   slots. Reuse the checks and the colour-space discipline from
-   `model_pipeline.py` (glTF `baseColorFactor` is linear; albedo textures are
-   sRGB — do not mix them up).
-6. **Commit** the `.blend` source (`assets/models/npc/npc_base.blend`) so the
-   build is reproducible and editable, plus the generated `.glb` + textures so
-   CI never needs Blender.
-
-### Phase 2 — AI-assisted texturing (existing tools only)
-
-Use the tools already in `tools/`, not new services:
-
-1. `tools/asset_pipeline.py generate` (OpenRouter,
-   `openai/gpt-5-image-mini`) for seamless clothing albedos — shirt, trousers,
-   jacket, hi-vis vest, coat, dress — at the role sizes its `audit` validates.
-   Run `seamless` for tile-edge blending and `audit` to reject wrong sizes.
-2. `tools/model_pipeline.py`'s palette helpers (`dominant_colors`,
-   `assign_roles`) or a small shared import, to derive per-role outfit palettes
-   from AI concept sheets (`concept`). `outfit_for` keeps determinism: the AI
-   supplies palettes and textures, never per-frame randomness.
-3. Normal/roughness detail (fabric weave, denim) baked procedurally in Blender,
-   with the AI albedos layered on top.
-4. Close the loop with `tools/screen_designs.py judge`: regenerate the staged
-   captures and confirm the new NPCs realise the same screen intents (art style
-   is ignored by the judge; layout and readability are not).
-
-Outputs land under `assets/textures/ai/game_ready/` (or a new
-`assets/textures/npc/`) and are **committed**.
-
-### Phase 3 — Godot integration (`npc_avatar.gd`, `materials.gd`)
-
-1. Add a `_load_model()` path in `NpcAvatar` that instantiates the imported
-   `npc_base.glb` `PackedScene`, exactly like `WorldBuilder._add_prop_model()`
-   loads props. Keep `_build_body()` as the offline/procedural fallback; choose
-   per-avatar with the same "asset or fallback" pattern (record the choice in a
-   `loaded_model` / `fallback_avatar` field for tests).
-2. Map `outfit_for()` onto the model's material slots (skin/cloth/pants/
-   accessory/hair) so seed variety, `layer_for`, `hand_item_for`, and the
-   archetype color read stay intact. Accessories (cap/hood/backpack/
-   sunglasses/lanyard) keep attaching under `Rig`/`Head` as they do today.
-3. Add `SurfaceMaterials` recipes for the baked maps — e.g. `npc()` /
-   `skin()` / `cloth()` — so `_material()` gains a textured path and the body
-   stops calling `Materials.flat()`.
-4. Abstract the animation targets so `_animate()` / `_idle_layer()` write to
-   either the procedural `Node3D` pivots (fallback) or `Skeleton3D` bones
-   (skinned). Keep the existing `rotation.x` math; the abstraction is a thin
-   `_set_limb_rotation(part, axis, radians)` wrapper.
-5. Keep `Rig/Head` as a real scene node (a marker following the head bone, or
-   the imported bone's Godot node) so focus, nametag, and head-turn still find
-   it. Re-verify the focus cone smoke and `test_npc_character` /
-   `test_npc_theater` / `test_target_cycle`.
-6. Re-measure `smoke_npc_budget.gd`; adjust `LOD_TIERS` if the skinned rig is
-   heavier up close. The impostor path is unchanged.
-
-### Phase 3.5 — Blender asset library (characters, gear, props)
-
-The library generator is `tools/blender_assets.py` (flatpak Blender, headless).
-**Status: integrated** — `NpcAvatar` selects characters/gear and `WorldBuilder`
-loads the replacement/new props plus phase-driven emissives; the procedural rig
-and primitive props remain fallbacks. Integration notes:
-[`blender-assets.md`](blender-assets.md).
-
-**Outputs and contract**
-
-| Kind | Path | Notes |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Characters | `assets/models/blender/npc/<name>.glb` | 8 variants: `npc_casual`, `npc_jacket`, `npc_coat`, `npc_vest`, `npc_dress`, `npc_hoodie`, `npc_firefighter`, `npc_guard` |
-| Gear | `assets/models/blender/npc_gear/<name>.glb` | 18 pieces; authored in attach-point space (`head`, `hand`, `back`, `chest`) |
-| Props | `assets/models/blender/props/<name>.glb` | 20 pieces; the first nine replace current generated/primitive street furniture, the rest are new venue dressing |
-| Manifest | `assets/models/blender/manifest.json` | path, category, triangles, vertices, bounds, materials, roles, tint slots, attach points |
-| Sources | `assets/models/blender_src/<name>.blend` | committed, editable source |
-| Previews | `docs/blender_previews/sheet_<category>.jpg` (committed) + per-asset `*.png` (local) | `render` / `sheet` for visual review |
-
-All characters reuse the `npc_base` contract: mesh node `npc_base`, bones
-`Head/HipL/R/KneeL/R/ShoulderL/R/ElbowL/R/HandL/R` (+ Hips/Spine/Neck),
-material slots `skin/cloth/pants/accessory/hair`, front toward Blender `-Y`
-(Godot `+Z`), feet at `y ~= 0`. Gear origins are the attach points (head at
-`Rig/Head`, hand at the hand proxy, back at the spine, chest at the sternum).
-Props are grounded except `wall_lantern` and `marquee`; both may be emissive.
-
-**Integration steps**
-
-1. **Audit the finished build.** `python3 tools/blender_assets.py audit` and
-   `sheet`; fix assets or reconcile the budgets. **Done 2026-11-01:** the
-   characters were simplified to fit the unchanged 6,000 / 4,000 contract
-   (3,788–4,640 tris), and all 46 assets audit clean.
-2. **Commit the library and sources.** Add `assets/models/blender/**`,
-   `assets/models/blender_src/**`, the generator, manifest, previews, and
-   `docs/blender-assets.md`; generated folders that CI can rebuild offline may
-   stay ignored. `blender_assets.py audit` must work without Blender.
-3. **Select characters by role.** Extend `NpcAvatar` to pick a variant from the
-   manifest using the profile's role and `outfit_for`/`layer_for` (casual,
-   jacket, coat, vest, dress, hoodie, firefighter, guard). Fall back to
-   `npc_base.glb`, then to the procedural rig, and record the chosen path.
-4. **Tint and anchor.** Apply `outfit_for` to every variant's five slots via
-   `SurfaceMaterials.npc_slot()`; keep `Rig/Head` for the focus circle, name tag,
-   reaction tag, and accessories. Keep the walk/idle/escalation bone-driving
-   wrapper.
-5. **Replace procedural gear.** Use the `npc_gear` catalogue for caps, hoods,
-   helmets, backpacks, lanyards, hand items (phone, cup, clipboard, umbrella,
-   camera, sign, flashlight, wand, radio) and the SCBA tank; attach at the
-   documented points and fall back to the current primitives when an asset is
-   missing.
-6. **Replace and extend props.** Load the replacement set through
-   `WorldBuilder` (`bollard`, `bench`, `trash_bin`, `planter_box`,
-   `newspaper_box`, `fire_hydrant`, `street_lamp`, `street_tree`,
-   `traffic_cone`), then place the new dressing (`palm_tree`, `round_planter`,
-   `a_frame_sign`, `wall_lantern`, `crowd_barrier`, `stanchion`, `handrail`,
-   `security_podium`, `double_door`, `marquee`, `sedan`) using the existing
-   placement table/collider/avoidance contract. No prop may enter the
-   door/steps/guest lane.
-7. **Wire emissives to the phase.** Street-lamp bulbs, wall lanterns, the door
-   lock LED, marquee bulbs/sign face, and sedan headlights should follow the
-   existing day/night lighting rather than staying always on.
-8. **Measure and gate.** Re-run `smoke_npc_budget.gd` with the new characters
-   before raising `MAX_LIVE_NPCS`; add a prop triangle/draw budget check. Then
-   recapture `docs/screenshots/` and run `screen_designs.py compare` + `judge`
-   plus a close-up target shot for character readability.
-9. **Fallbacks stay offline.** A fresh checkout with no Blender and no network
-   must boot on the committed library (or `npc_base.glb`/procedural rig when an
-   asset is absent); CI still runs the Godot import and headless suite.
-
-
-### Phase 4 — Environment and lighting lift (after NPCs land) ✅
-
-1. **Baked AO on props:** use the Phase 3.5 Blender prop replacements
-   (`street_lamp`, `street_tree`, `bench`, …) and bake AO into their
-   albedo/ORM maps so contact shadows read without SSAO. Keep the same
-   `WorldBuilder` load/fallback contract (ADR-0012's follow-up).
-2. **Higher-resolution environment textures:** regenerate brick/concrete/asphalt
-   through `asset_pipeline.py` with normal maps, keeping the current UV scales;
-   use the same sRGB/albedo + packed ORM discipline as the library assets.
-3. **Evaluate a desktop-only Forward+ preset** — completed in v0.7.1 as the optional
-Desktop HQ zip. The default renderer stays GL Compatibility for Web parity; the
-override is applied only to the copied HQ binaries.
-4. Regenerate `docs/screenshots/` with `capture_screenshots.gd`, then run
-   `screen_designs.py compare` and `judge` as the regression gate, plus
-   `blender_assets.py sheet` for the character/gear/prop library.
-
-### Phase 5 — Verification and release
-
-- Headless: fallback build, `npc_pipeline.py audit` (via `test_model_pipeline`
-  style Python tests if Blender is present, otherwise skip with reason), outfit
-  determinism, `Rig/Head` presence, material recipe assertions.
-- Windowed smokes: `smoke_npc_budget.gd`, `smoke_movement.gd`,
-  `smoke_focus_radial.gd`, `smoke_props.gd`; screenshot comparison.
-- Bump `config/version` to `0.6.0`, update `README.md`, `docs/architecture.md`
-  (Level 2 gains `tools/npc_pipeline.py`), and publish per
-  [`docs/RELEASING.md`](RELEASING.md).

-## Risks and mitigations
-
-| Risk | Mitigation |
-| --- | --- |
-| Blender flatpak sandbox paths (cwd `/app/blender`) | Absolute paths everywhere; record the invocation in `MEMORY.md`. |
-| glTF colour space (linear factors vs sRGB textures) | Reuse `model_pipeline.srgb_to_linear`; bake textures as sRGB, keep factors linear; assert in `audit`. |
-| Skeleton retargeting vs current node math | Keep the bone names + a thin limb-rotation wrapper; fallback rig keeps old math running. |
-| Frame budget with skinned avatars | Measure first (`smoke_npc_budget.gd`); tune `LOD_TIERS`; impostor path unchanged. |
-| No SSAO in Compatibility | Bake AO into albedo/ORM; contact-shadow tune in Phase 4. |
-| AI output nondeterminism | Generation is dev-time only; commit outputs and gate with `audit`/`judge`/`compare`. |
-| Blender unavailable in CI | Committed `.glb` + textures; procedural fallback; `audit` skipped with reason when Blender is absent. |

-1. NPCs and street furniture are Blender-authored meshes with baked maps; the
-   character variants, gear, and props read as people/objects at conversation
-   distance and survive a cinematic close-up.
-2. `Rig/Head`, the focus cone, nametag, theater poses, crowd reactions, and LOD
-   all still work; all existing NPC tests pass unchanged or are updated with
-   clear reasons.
-3. The game boots and plays from a fresh checkout with **no** Blender and no
-   network (committed assets + procedural fallback).
-4. `npc_pipeline.py build` is deterministic and `audit` enforces the contract.
-5. 212 headless + 60 Python tests stay green (Blender-dependent Python tests
-   skip with a reason when Blender is absent); `npc_pipeline.py audit` and
-   `blender_assets.py audit` pass; NPC-budget and movement smokes pass;
-   screenshot `compare`/`judge` and the library contact sheets show no
-   regressions.
-6. The library is committed with its generator/manifest/previews, runtime
-   selection and fallbacks are covered by tests, version bumped to v0.6.0,
-   docs and ADR-0013 updated, release published.
