zwitschi 4cca2af2dd Extract per-venue geometry specs into WorldBuilder
Add the Hollywood, Joke Shop and TV Studio tables for facade, window,
stair, street, nav, guard-spawn and feature data. Unknown ids fall back to
the boulevard. Use the specs for the core dimensions and gates, with a headless
test for the distinct venue data. Headless 230/230.

zwitschi 26d64baa01 Close the NPC gear-fit section
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Skipped
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 34s
Move the completed gear section to DONE.md and record the hooded-portrait
follow-up. An explicit --portrait-type now overrides the hooded-subject skip,
though the day roster has no types 5-7 yet. Headless 229/229.

zwitschi 151630e957 Recapture the gear portrait and gallery shots
Fix the portrait staging: face the rig toward the camera (the old yaw was 180
degrees out) and hide the focus disc, which was covering the face in close-ups.
Add the before/after Influencer portrait, fit measurements and judge scores in
docs/screens/realism/2026-11-01-gear. Re-run check_screenshots (11 good/0 bad);
headless 229/229.

zwitschi 1b319c48b7 Guard gear fit with headless and Blender regression checks
The Python fit test now caps the glasses at 0.70x head width and requires a
positive bag clearance on both the coat and dress. The Godot character suite
loads head/back gear on six roles and checks attach parents, head width and
brow bounds, and that back gear reaches beyond the 0.26 m body silhouette.
Rebuilt and re-baked all 18 gear assets; no-op GLB export churn was reverted.
Headless 229/229, Python 87/87.

zwitschi a478bfbf35 Clear the firefighter helmet brim from the brow
The face pass added a brow ridge; lift the helmet mesh 2 cm so the brim sits
above the eyes. Cap and hood were rendered on their characters and leave the
brow/ears and face readable. Rebuild and re-bake the helmet; Python 87/87.

zwitschi 702f54ae53 Move the shoulder bag clear of coat and dress skirts
Narrow the bag to 0.06 m and move it outboard to centre x=0.292. The body inner
face is now 0.262 m, clearing the coat skirt (0.225) and dress (0.260); the
strap lower points start on the same line. The fit report measures the bag body
separately from the torso strap and uses a signed inner-face clearance. Run
Blender build/bake and Godot import. Python tooling 87/87.

zwitschi bbf4693475 Narrow the sunglasses and fix portrait-type parsing
Move the hinges to +/-0.075 (0.035 box), arms to +/-0.098, and lenses to a
0.024 m radius while keeping the lens plane in front of the eyes. Rebuild the
GLB and AO; fit now measures 0.202 m total width (0.64x head). capture_realism
now parses the documented --portrait-type option instead of ignoring it.
Python tooling 87/87; headless 228/228.

zwitschi da876e3545 Add a gear-vs-body fit report to the Blender asset tool
`blender_assets.py fit` measures each character head width (skin vertices
weighted to Head in y 1.55-1.81) and clothing radius (cloth skirt in y 0.30-0.52,
pants hip fallback), then prints every attached head/back/chest gear bounding box
with head-band status and x/radial skirt clearance. The report confirms the
glasses width and shoulder-bag coat clip, giving the next fit fixes numbers.
Python tooling 87/87; asset audit clean.

zwitschi 1ee32215b0 Detail the NPC avatars and finish the realism follow-ups
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 38s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Skipped
Blender library
- Rebuild the face: sclera, iris and upper lid per eye, brow ridge, cheekbones,
  nose bridge and tip, ears with lobes, split upper/lower lips.
- Give each hand four fingers plus a thumb and end every sleeve in a cuff ring.
- Raise CHAR_MAX_VERTS 4000 -> 5000 (16 avatars still cost ~6.9 ms of a 50 ms
  frame), decimate the body to 26 %; characters are now 3,974-5,026 tris and
  3,744-4,807 verts. Rebuild all 8 variants and re-bake their AO maps.

Capture tooling
- Add a `portrait` stage to capture_realism.gd: freeze one NPC, park the crowd
  out of frame, stand the subject on open sidewalk, turn it into the camera and
  put the guard on the sunlit side. New --portrait-type=N picks the role.
- Add the npc_portrait_day concept and map the shot to it, so avatar detail is
  scored against a portrait instead of a wide street frame.

Flashlight
- Drop the fake additive beam (Materials.light_beam + the cone mesh): on GL
  Compatibility a first-person camera inside the cone renders it as a filled
  disc with a bright far ring. Keep the tight spot (14 deg, 20 m, energy 4.2)
  and its headless test; the visible shaft is now planned behind a Forward+
  preset.

Docs and task tracking
- Move the finished realism follow-ups (ground exposure, flashlight, NPC detail,
  judge re-check) to DONE.md and expand TODO.md with step-by-step plans for NPC
  gear fit, venue geometry plus the committed gallery, and the Forward+ preset.
- Record the decisions, gotchas and portrait recipe in MEMORY.md; update the
  Blender contract, the concept README and the capture section of README.md.
- Refresh the gallery captures affected by the avatar rebuild.

Checks: headless 228/228, Python 86/86, blender_assets audit exit 0,
scene_concepts audit all GOOD, screen_designs compare 11 good / 0 bad,
smoke_npc_budget OK, boot clean (only the known headless mesh warning).

zwitschi 2624b54b23 Compact the plan and synchronize project documentation
- reduce PLAN.md from a 674-line implementation log to a 187-line product/design
  plan; keep escalation, venues, NPC/systems, controls, presentation and constraints
- refresh README for implemented venues, Blender/v2 assets, the custom test runner,
  Web target, current release state and the screenshot smoke
- update architecture for 0.6.0, the runtime art loader, Gitea CI/build/publish,
  Web deployment, six release artifacts and visual regression
- remove stale uncommitted/active-pass claims from MEMORY and point it at the
  current NPC follow-ups; move the completed documentation task to DONE

zwitschi d7e523f63c Adopt the realism pass and refresh screenshots/docs
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 34s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Skipped
- add the v2 runtime picks: per-phase skyline panoramas, brick, sidewalk
  pavers, dry/wet asphalt, awning canvas, and their normal maps
- add the realism tooling and evidence: tools/scene_concepts.py, capture_realism.gd,
  concept frames, reports/sheets, and tests
- retune phase lighting/fog/exposure, add sun yaw, brighten the night glow,
  add the flashlight beam mesh, and rebuild the planter/tree assets
- regenerate all eleven staged screenshots from the current build; compare is
  11 good / 0 bad
- finish the visual-alignment closeout in DONE/TODO, update architecture,
  blender-assets, PLAN, and ignore rules (editable Blender sources untracked)
- keep the judge retry and document the verified default judge model

The REC/clock block sat on top of the top-right shift/rep/crowd lines. Start it
at y=92 and slightly farther from the edge, keeping the overlay visible without
covering the status. Headless 226/226 and a windowed HUD screenshot checked.

zwitschi 79270795a8 Finish the image-root task and untrack Blender sources
- ignore assets/models/blender_src/*.blend (keep the .gdignore marker tracked) and
  remove the 46 editable .blend files from the index; they remain on disk and are
  regenerated by tools/blender_assets.py
- move the completed storage/docs/code-path/art-loader/verification, mouse-fix,
  and pop-up sections to DONE.md; TODO now holds only the open lighting item,
  realism follow-ups, and optional ideas
- docs changes only; runtime code unchanged

zwitschi dc4bc6c511 Use the access-inspection mockup behind the inspection panel
Add the access_inspection art layer to the HUD, keep the panel transparent and
padded, center the title/status/issue text and artifact cards, and hide the art
with the panel. Also record the pop-up visual pass as done. Headless 226/226

zwitschi c8b98fdb30 Recapture the mouse after selecting a venue
_start_shift() now calls _refresh_freeze(), clearing the start-menu input lock
and returning to captured mouse mode. The movement smoke asserts both and no
longer captures the mouse itself. Headless 226/226 and smoke_movement pass in a
clean worktree; only this game_manager hunk is staged, not the active realism
edits.
2026-11-01 16:45:05 +01:00
zwitschi d96f53c285 Add a repeatable screenshot capture and compare smoke
Both capture helpers now accept --out=res://docs/screenshots, and
tools/check_screenshots.sh renders the staged set (using xvfb-run when headless)
before running screen_designs.py compare. Record the judge result: 7 match,
4 review, 0 diff. Headless 226/226 and the smoke both pass in a clean worktree.

zwitschi b39fee6176 Match the radial menu to its mockup
Widen the doughnut, use dark charcoal wedges with a dimmed scene behind them,
add divider spokes and inner/outer rings, raise the center-name size, and use a
restrained light highlight for the selected slice instead of the old yellow
fill. Headless 226/226 verified in a clean HEAD worktree.

zwitschi 3030c60ae1 Align the HUD target chip and escalation meter with the mockups
Move the target name out of the top-left stack into a boxed chip under the
crosshair, keep the log/hints left and shift status right, and add a five-segment
escalation bar under the existing color-coded label. Empty targets hide the
chip. Headless 226/226 verified in a clean HEAD worktree.

zwitschi 06a4f5479f Align the body-camera timeline with its sidebar mockup
Draw body_camera_timeline behind a full-height narrow panel, constrain the

zwitschi 8032999a4d Use the radio and wand mockups behind their forms
Draw radio_report/emergency_radio behind a transparent, padded form and switch

- screen_designs.py now reads/writes assets/images/ui/ (ADR-0014); docs/
  screens/designs/ stays the reference-only snapshot, documented as historical
- add src/game/ui/art.gd: cached loader for assets/images/ui|scenes with null
  fallbacks for missing files, plus headless tests
- start menu uses the start_menu scene art as a full-screen backdrop, covers the
  baked-in mockup panel with an opaque panel, and styles the venue rows to match

zwitschi f458551594 Claim TODO tasks with [-]; promote mockups to assets/images/ui
- AGENTS.md now requires agents to mark a task [-] while claimed/in progress and
  only use [x] after implementation and verification, with an example
- copied the 21 reference mockups from docs/screens/designs/ into the runtime
  root assets/images/ui/ (byte-identical names); docs/screens/designs/ stays as
  the reference-only copy per ADR-0014
- MEMORY records where the copies live and that screen_designs.py still reads
  the docs tree until the code-path migration

zwitschi 8f228b0c56 Decide the canonical runtime image root (ADR-0014)
assets/images/ is now the runtime root for composed interface/scene art:
ui/ for screen and panel art, scenes/ for full-frame scene art. Tiled PBR
textures remain under assets/textures/; docs/screens/designs and concepts stay
reference-only; QA captures stay under docs/screenshots. Mockups that become
runtime art are copied/processed with a new name (no overwrites) and always
have a code fallback.

Records the convention in MEMORY, adds ADR-0014 to the architecture index, and
closes the first storage-restructure TODO item.

zwitschi d872034388 Bake library AO and lift environment textures
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 29s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m43s
Phase 4 of the v0.6.0 graphics plan:

- tools/bake_ao.py bakes 256² AO maps for every Blender character/gear/prop
  (Cycles, existing UVs) next to each GLB; Materials.apply_ao() wires the red
  channel into character slots, gear, and props. Compatibility has no SSAO.
- Regenerated brick/concrete/asphalt at 1024² with OpenRouter, derived tangent
  normal maps via tools/make_normal_maps.py, and wired them through
  SurfaceMaterials.textured() without changing UV scales.
- Evaluated Forward+: boots on desktop Vulkan, but the renderer is project-wide
  and Web must stay GL Compatibility; v0.6.0 keeps Compatibility (decision in
  MEMORY/plan). A desktop-only override is deferred.
- Recaptured screenshots; compare 11 good / 0 bad. Fixed marquee text alignment.
- Tests: baked AO maps exist for all 46 assets; prop/character AO material
  checks; headless 222/222, Python 69/69, all smokes pass.
- Version 0.6.0; ADR-0013 accepted; README/architecture/blender-assets/plan and
  TODO/DONE updated.

zwitschi d8cfddbf89 Integrate the Blender character, gear and prop library
NpcAvatar
- select one of 8 library character variants by role/seed (with npc_base and the
  procedural rig as fallbacks), keep Rig/Head and the existing bone animation
- tint only skin/cloth/pants/accessory/hair; fixed detail materials keep their
  colour, npc_vest keeps its hi-vis vest, firefighter/guard use dark uniform tints
- attach caps, hoods, helmets, backpacks, SCBA tanks, lanyards and hand items at
  the documented head/back/chest/hand points (primitive fallbacks retained)

WorldBuilder
- prefer assets/models/blender/props/ for the six replacements and the new
  street dressing (street lamp/tree, palms, planters, A-frame, cone, barrier,
  stanchion, podium, handrail, wall lantern, double door, marquee, sedan)
- fit the same colliders/navigation obstacles and keep the placement validator;
  collect library emissives (bulbs, marquee face, wall lanterns, door LED, sedan
  lights) for set_night_mode()
- add a library triangle counter + 60k budget check (current ~27,986); toggle
  prop gallery to the library models; fix the marquee label placement

Tests/smoke
- character selection/gear attach/fixed-material tint tests; library prop load,
  emissive and triangle-budget tests; smoke_props routes a guest around a
  stanchion in open sidewalk (the old bench route is now crowded by trees)
- headless 222/222, Python 68/68, all smokes pass, compare 11 good / 0 bad

zwitschi 7efb5024ec Extend the v0.6.0 plan with the Blender asset library
Document the larger asset set produced by the running Blender generator
(tools/blender_assets.py): 8 NPC character variants, 18 gear pieces, and 22
street/venue props with a manifest, editable sources, and preview sheets.

- TODO gains Phase 3.5 with the audit/budget reconciliation (npc_casual is
  currently 7,756 tris / 5,616 verts, above the 6,000/4,000 contract), character
  selection by role, gear attach points, prop replacement/placement, emissive
  wiring, budgets, and screenshot gates
- PLAN's Visual Quality Direction describes the library, runtime selection, and
  offline fallbacks
- docs/plan-graphics-v0.6.md adds the library contract/output table and
  integration steps, and points Phase 4 at the Blender props
- MEMORY records the manifest-as-source-of-truth rule and the generator caveat

Generated library files stay untracked until the running build finishes and

zwitschi a231f7588a Load and animate the Blender-authored NPC base mesh
Wire the skinned model from ADR-0013 into NpcAvatar:

- _build_skinned_body() instantiates the imported npc_base.glb, binds the 14
  armature bones, and keeps the procedural _build_body() as the offline
  fallback (use_skinned_model can force it in tests)
- outfit_for()/layer_for() tint the five material slots through the new
  SurfaceMaterials.npc_slot(); accessories and hand items attach under Rig/Head
- the existing limb pivots (Hip/Knee/Shoulder/Elbow/Hand + Head marker) keep the
  old animation math; _sync_skeleton() copies their rotations to bones. Bone
  pose rotation is absolute local orientation, so it is composed with the rest
  basis (otherwise the whole body snaps into a broken pose)
- skinned rigs scale uniformly (non-uniform parent scale shears the skin) and
  keep Rig/Head for the focus cone, nametag, and reaction tag
- commit the editable npc_base.blend plus a .gdignore: Godot's editor otherwise
  tries to import the blend and hangs during --import
- npc_pipeline audit tests (contract, textures, clean GLB, committed source)

Avatars called Godot's look_at(), which points the node's -Z axis at the target,
but the rig's face (eyes/brows/mouth/focus disc, and the Blender successor) is on
+Z. Every walking NPC therefore faced away from its movement direction.

NPC characters
- Articulated rig (hips/knees, shoulders/elbows/hands) replaces rigid capsules;
  the walk cycle bends knees and elbows and flees with a longer stride.
- Layered outfits (jacket/vest/coat/dress), extended accessories and hand items
  (bag, umbrella, phone, camera, clipboard, cup), face details and five hair
  silhouettes, all deterministic per profile seed.
- Idle behaviour layers (phone, clipboard, crossed arms, look-around), breathing
  and weight shift; escalation raises hands or points, and noticed NPCs turn
  toward the guard.
- Reaction symbols above the head (!!, ?!, !, ?), door-queue offsets assigned by
  GameManager, three LOD tiers with hysteresis and a billboard impostor.
- smoke_npc_budget.gd: 16 avatars = 534 meshes, ~6.9 ms average (50 ms budget).

Player movement
- Separate accel/decel, step-up assist for kerbs and the entrance steps, and a
  forward-axis fix: W was inverted (get_axis(forward, back) is negative).
- Head bob, landing dip and precision-walk FOV, gated by persisted head-bob and
  invert-Y settings; precision chip and tick; surface-aware footsteps and a
  landing cue forwarded to AudioFeedback.
- Gamepad support (sticks, deadzone, face buttons, bumpers), a control legend
  that follows the active device, and named actions for the remaining keys.
- Key/button remapping in Settings, persisted as input_bindings and applied by
  InputBindings (mouse and gamepad axes are never removed).
- smoke_movement.gd (windowed): climbs the steps, checks precision speed, chip,
  footsteps and landing; new 11-precision-walk capture and catalogue entry.

Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 31s
Props were decoration: the guard and guests walked straight through benches,
bins, bollards and planters. They now block movement and steer guests around.

Collision
- _add_prop_model() fits a StaticBody3D from the model's mesh bounds in
  holder-local space: a cylinder for bollard/bin/hydrant, a box otherwise, so
  placement rotation and variant scale carry over.
- Fallback primitives go through the same fit, so a missing .glb cannot silently
  remove collision.
- Each prop also publishes a NavigationObstacle3D; NpcAvatar enables agent
  avoidance and moves with the safe velocity from velocity_computed. The navmesh
  stays a flat walkable plane and avoidance does the steering.

Placement
- PROP_PLACEMENTS groups furniture by entrance, mid-block and curb zones, with a
  static placement_problems() validator for bounds, overlap/min-spacing,
  duplicates, and the door/steps/guest-lane exclusions.
- variant_for(index) gives deterministic yaw jitter, subtle scale, and optional
  clutter (bag by the bin, crate by the newspaper boxes, cone by the hydrant).

Verification
- New windowed smoke_props.gd: guard walks into a bench and stops; a guest
  headed beyond the bench routes around it and never enters the collider.
- Headless 182 -> 187: placement validation and its failure modes, variant
  determinism/range, collider + obstacle on every placed prop, fallback collider.
- Other smokes (PLAN verbs, crowd, emergency, timeline) still pass; Python
  tooling 53/53; screenshots recaptured; compare 9 good / 0 bad.
- Version 0.4.0. TODO: collision/placement section moved to DONE; prop pipeline
  checks remain.

zwitschi a3e90accdd Plan the presentation pass: props, NPCs, movement
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Skipped
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 2m12s
Replace the flat "future ideas" list with three scheduled sections and concrete,
reviewable checkboxes (41 tasks):

- Better Props: colliders for the generated models (they have none today), a
  placement table with variants, sign/bus-stop/shelter/street-lamp props, a
  close-range detail layer, pipeline audits, and a prop-gallery capture.
- Better NPC Characters: articulated rig, layered outfits and accessories, face
  and hair variety, idle/conversation animation, door-queue staging, reaction
  readability, LOD tiers, and a re-measured NPC budget.
- Better Player Movement: accel/decel split, step-up assist, head bob/FOV and a
  motion-sickness toggle, precision-walk feedback, surface footsteps, gamepad
  support, input remapping, and movement tests.

Kept live 3D replay, extra venues, voice audio, and the image-to-mesh swap in
Future ideas. Memory notes the grounding facts (props have no colliders, rigid
NPC rig, single accel value). Docs-only: no version bump or release.

zwitschi a5e7b3c013 Add AI mockups for the seven remaining catalogue screens
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 34s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 4m4s
The design catalogue grew to 19 screens, but only the original twelve had an AI
reference; the rest still showed "design -" in `list`. Generated the missing set
so every screen can be reviewed against an intended look:

- wand screening (metal-detected panel with carried items and allow/deny)
- Joke Shop queue, TV Studio arrival, crowd panic, responder arrival
- body-camera timeline, escalation HUD

`generate` now loads `.env` the same way `judge` does, so `--ai` no longer needs
the API key exported by hand. Each reference is 1280x720; the twelve existing
mockups were kept (no `--force`).

Verification: `list` reports 19 designs, Python tooling 53/53, headless suite
182/182, `compare` still 6 good / 0 bad on the captured screens. Version 0.3.2.

zwitschi f2863abeac Draw prop models with a single atlas material
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 33s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m39s
Each generated prop used one material per part (body, accent, metal...). The
model pipeline now packs a prop's palette into one power-of-two colour atlas plus a
matching metallic/roughness atlas and emits a single material:

- atlas_for(): 8x8 cells per palette role, colours in sRGB, roughness in the G and
  metallic in the B channel of the second atlas; NEAREST sampling keeps cells flat.
- build_glb(): every part merges into one primitive with constant per-vertex atlas
  UVs; the material uses baseColorTexture + metallicRoughnessTexture with factors 1.0.
- audit_glb(): fails unless a prop has exactly one material, both atlas textures,
  two images, and TEXCOORD_0 on every primitive.
- Removed the now-unused sRGB->linear factor helpers; colour travels in the texture.

Verification: headless 181 -> 182 (new "one material per prop scene" test), Python
tooling 53/53 (atlas determinism/size/UV/palette-override tests replace the old
factor tests), model audit OK for all six props, screenshots regenerated and
screen_designs.py compare still 6 good / 0 bad. Version 0.3.1.

zwitschi afa1d6beec v0.3.0: rendering pass, generated props, selection model and Web build
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 36s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 4m17s
Rendering and presentation
- Shared surface-material module (src/game/materials.gd) with per-surface
  roughness/metallic/uv profiles; ACES tonemapping, glow, fog and phase-driven sky
  energy. WorldBuilder rebuilt on those profiles with facade windows that light up,
  door trim/handles, curb, lane dashes, bollards, bench, bin and planter foliage.
- NPC silhouettes: per-role clothing palettes, caps/hoods/backpacks/sunglasses,
  hands and shoes, arm/leg walk swing.
- Six generated low-poly GLB props (bollards, bench, bin, planter, newspaper box,
  hydrant) built by tools/model_pipeline.py, loaded by WorldBuilder with a
  procedural fallback; ADR-0012.

Selection and movement
- Focus ranking by view angle then distance (NpcFocus.rank_indices); Tab and the
  mouse wheel cycle nearby people initially, right click clears focus with a
  re-acquire grace, HUD shows the candidate count, Shift walks at half speed.
  ADR-0011. Windowed smoke extended to cover wheel cycling and clearing.

QA tooling
- screen_designs.py catalogue grown to 19 screens (8 scene, 11 UI) plus a `list`
  subcommand; draft generation keeps existing AI references unless --force.

Web export
- New Web preset using the non-threaded Godot template (static hosting, no
  COOP/COEP). tools/build_releases.sh exports build/web and packages
  build/step-line-web-<ver>.zip; publish_release.sh uploads it with the desktop
  artifacts. test_web_export.gd covers the preset and release wiring.

Verification
- Headless suite 177 -> 181, Python tooling 53 tests, all eight smokes pass
  (including the windowed focus/wheel smoke). Web bundle serves index.html,
  index.wasm (35 MB) and index.pck (30 MB) with HTTP 200 from a static server.
- Version 0.3.0; README, PLAN, RELEASING, TODO/DONE and MEMORY updated.

zwitschi f763cff744 Export venues as editor-authorable .tres resources
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 34s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m51s
- tools/export_venues.gd (SceneTree script) saves the three factory scenarios to
  content/venues/<id>.tres via ResourceSaver. The factory stays the source of truth;
  the exported files are what an editor workflow would edit and ship.
- New tests load the files back and check that id, name, event pool, profiles,
  policy (ID/wand), equipment, door-staff lines, shift phases, and locations all
  survive. They also fail when the exported files are missing or stale, so the
  export is re-run after content changes.
- GUT is consciously not adopted: the custom headless runner already covers 157
  assertions without an editor plugin and keeps CI dependency-free. Recorded in
  DONE.md.
- TODO: the planned backlog is complete; only optional future ideas remain.
- README/MEMORY updated. Version 0.2.16.

zwitschi 72b9378e69 Add a vision-model screenshot judge to the QA tooling
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 32s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m30s
`tools/screen_designs.py judge` sends each capture together with its concept
mockup to a vision model and asks whether the capture realises the same screen and
layout intent. This covers what pixel/perceptual metrics cannot judge.

- Prompt explicitly ignores art style, fidelity, fonts, and placeholder text, since
  the references are stylised mockups.
- Verdicts are classed match / review (mismatch below --fail-confidence, default
  0.6) / diff (confident mismatch, exits non-zero) / unknown; --json, --only,
  --dry-run, --model supported.
- Reads the repo .env for OPENROUTER_API_KEY without overriding real env vars.
- Default judge model google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite; openai/gpt-4o-mini verified too.

Tests/docs
- 7 new offline tests in tools/test_screen_designs.py (request payload embeds both
  images, JSON/fenced/parts/non-JSON parsing, threshold classification, .env
  loading); 30 Python tests pass.
- Live run: 3 captures match, 3 review, 0 confident diffs.
- README, TODO section moved to DONE, MEMORY. Version 0.2.15.

zwitschi 74f14014b2 Enable anonymous downloads on the host and harden Strings.fmt
Full build / Import + headless tests (push) Successful in 33s
Full build / Full desktop build + optional release (push) Successful in 3m31s
Host (applied with root@192.168.88.30)
- [service] REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = false in /etc/gitea/app.ini (backup written
  alongside), Gitea restarted. Verified anonymously: repo page 200, API 200, and a
  release asset downloads at full size (50.8 MB AppImage).

Localization safety (Open Polish)
- Strings.placeholder_count() counts conversions and ignores %% escapes.
- Strings.fmt() validates the count and fails safe (warns, returns the template)
  instead of raising an engine error when a key's placeholders drift.
- Strings.validate() lints the table for a trailing %, unsupported conversions, and
  mixed positional/sequential placeholders.
- Tests cover the counter, the fail-safe path, a clean table, and a formatting pass
  over every placeholder key with type-correct arguments.

Docs
- TODO: distribution, release-pipeline, and open-polish sections are complete and
  moved to DONE; the v0.2.4-v0.2.8 backfill is closed as superseded.
- README/MEMORY updated. Version 0.2.14.
