 ### Reference and acceptance criteria
 
-- [ ] Establish a portrait/contact-sheet baseline for all eight variants: front, three-quarter,
-      profile, back, full body and a crowd-distance silhouette.
-- [ ] Define acceptance criteria for proportions, face readability, hair, hands, shoes, clothing
-      silhouette, gear fit and animation at the gameplay camera height (1.7 m).
-- [ ] Record the camera/lighting/background used for comparison so model changes can be judged
-      consistently; keep the existing portrait capture path deterministic.
