Draw prop models with a single atlas material

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.

+## Release pipeline follow-up
+
+Completed 2026-10-31 (working tree). Headless **153/153**.
+
+- [x] Fix `tools/publish_release.sh`: the `~/.git-credentials` branch never set `AUTH`,
+      so every tag build since v0.2.2 failed to publish.
+- [x] Add a `github.token` fallback in `.gitea/workflows/build.yml` (the repo has no

+- [x] Fall back to the checkout's git extraheader when no token/credentials exist (the

+
+- [x] `tools/screen_designs.py generate` writes one reference design per screen

+19 screens (8 scene, 11 UI); the Python tooling tests pass.
+
+- [x] Extend the `tools/screen_designs.py` catalogue with the screens that exist in code but
+      had no reference: wand screening, Joke Shop door queue, TV Studio celebrity arrival,
+      crowd panic, responder arrival, body-camera timeline, escalation HUD.
+- [x] Add a `list` subcommand so the catalogue is inspectable without generating images.
+- [x] Cover the new entries with `tools/test_screen_designs.py` assertions.
+- [x] Regenerate the deterministic draft references under `docs/screens/designs/`.

+- [x] Per-phase environment values (fog, sky energy, glow) so night reads darker and the
+      marquee glows.
+- [x] Improve NPC silhouette and materials: per-role clothing palette, caps/hoods/backpacks,
+      sleeves and hands, walking leg swing.
+- [x] Cover materials/environment/avatar helpers with headless tests
+      (`test_materials.gd`, `test_target_cycle.gd`).

+
+Completed 2026-10-31 (v0.3.0 working tree). `model_pipeline.py build` + `audit` pass for all
+six props; `test_generated_props.gd` proves they import as scenes and that the world places
+them.
+
+- [x] Add `tools/model_pipeline.py`: prop catalogue, deterministic low-poly GLB builder,
+      OpenRouter concept-image generation, palette sampling and GLB audit.
+- [x] Add `tools/test_model_pipeline.py` (valid GLB structure, deterministic output, audit
+      failures, sRGB→linear conversion, role assignment).
+- [x] Generate the prop models into `assets/models/generated/` and import them.
+- [x] Load the generated props in `WorldBuilder` with a procedural fallback when the GLB is
+      missing.
+
+## Controls, Movement and NPC Selection
+
+Completed 2026-10-31 (v0.3.0 working tree). The windowed smoke now covers wheel cycling and
+right-click clearing; the headless suite passes 177/177.
+
+- [x] Record the re-evaluated control model as ADR-0011.
+- [x] Rank focus candidates by view angle then distance (`NpcFocus.rank_indices`) instead of
+      insertion order.
+- [x] Add mouse-wheel target cycling next to `Tab`, right-click clearing focus, and a `Shift`
+      precision walk speed.
+- [x] Show the nearby-candidate count and the cycle hint in the HUD.
+- [x] Cover ranking, cycling and walk speed with tests, then re-run the windowed smoke.

+produces a 63 MB static bundle and it serves locally with HTTP 200s for html/wasm/pck.
+
+- [x] Add a `Web` preset to `export_presets.cfg` using `variant/thread_support=false` so the
+      build runs on plain static hosting without COOP/COEP headers.
+- [x] Export to `build/web/` and package `build/step-line-web-<version>.zip` from
+      `tools/build_releases.sh` (zip or Python fallback).
+- [x] Publish the web zip with the desktop artifacts (`tools/publish_release.sh`).
+- [x] Cover the preset, the non-threaded choice, and the release wiring in
+      `src/test/tests/test_web_export.gd`.
+- [x] Document the artifact in `docs/RELEASING.md`, the README gallery/status, and `PLAN.md`.

+## Prop Texture Atlas
+
+Completed 2026-10-31 (v0.3.1). Headless **182/182**, Python tooling **53/53**; screenshots
+regenerated and `screen_designs.py compare` still reports 6 good / 0 bad.
+
+- [x] `model_pipeline.atlas_for()` packs each prop's palette roles into one small power-of-two
+      PNG and a matching metallic/roughness atlas (roughness in G, metallic in B), with nearest
+      sampling so a palette cell stays a flat colour.
+- [x] `build_glb()` merges every part into a single primitive with per-vertex atlas UVs and one
+      material (`baseColorTexture` + `metallicRoughnessTexture`), so a prop is one draw material
+      instead of one per part.
+- [x] `audit_glb()` checks the single-material/atlas contract (one material, both textures,
+      TEXCOORD_0 on every primitive, two images).
+- [x] Tests: atlas determinism and power-of-two sizing, UV range, palette override reaching the
+      atlas, and a Godot test that each imported prop scene uses exactly one material.
+- [x] Removed the now-unused sRGB→linear factor helpers (colours travel in the sRGB texture).

 ## Current State
 
+- **v0.3.0 pass (2026-10-31, uncommitted):** rendering, generated prop models, screen
+  catalogue, aim-free selection. See ADR-0011 (selection) and ADR-0012 (materials/props).
+  - `src/game/materials.gd` (`SurfaceMaterials`) is now the single source of surface
+    recipes + `configure_environment()`. `GameManager.PHASE_LIGHTING` gained
+    `exposure/glow/fog_color/fog_density/fog_energy/contrast/saturation/ambient_energy`.
+    Renderer is **GL Compatibility**, so SSAO/SSIL are unavailable; glow+fog+ACES are used
+    instead and unsupported settings are ignored rather than gated in code.
+  - World: scaled brick (uv 22,10), framed windows with per-window night emission
+    (`i % 3 != 2` lit), stone base course, door trim/handles, curb, lane dashes (the old
+    loop had `Vector3(i * 0.0, …)` and stacked every dash at x=0), street lamps use the
+    metal profile. The two flat planters that clipped the steps were removed.
+  - `tools/model_pipeline.py` builds `assets/models/generated/*.glb` (bollard, bench,
+    trash_bin, planter_box, newspaper_box, fire_hydrant) from box/cylinder specs;
+    `WorldBuilder._add_prop_model()` loads them with a procedural fallback and records
+    `loaded_models` / `fallback_props`. **Gotcha:** glTF `baseColorFactor` is LINEAR —
+    writing sRGB made every prop pastel; `srgb_to_linear()` is applied in `build_glb`.
+    **Gotcha:** a new/changed `.glb` needs `godot --headless --path . --import` before
+    `ResourceLoader.exists()` / `load()` sees it (test_generated_props fails otherwise).
+  - `model_pipeline.py concept` (OpenRouter, reads repo `.env`) writes per-prop concept
+    sheets to `assets/models/concepts/`; `dominant_colors()` centre-crops and weights by
+    saturation (a grey studio backdrop otherwise wins), `assign_roles()` maps colours by
+    hue/value. Delete a concept file to fall back to the catalogue palette.
+  - NPC avatars: `outfit_for(type, seed)` (pure) gives shirt/trousers/hair/skin +
+    accessory (cap, hood, backpack, sunglasses, lanyard) and height scale; `_arms` and
+    `_legs` now swing (`limb_swing`) while walking. Keep `Rig/Head` named for focus.
+  - Selection: `NpcFocus.rank_indices` (angle then distance) — `pick_index` = first.
+    `GuardController.cycle_target(direction)` walks nearest-first `nearby_candidates()` and
+    sets `target_pinned`, which makes `_update_target()` skip the cone. `clear_target()`
+    sets `focus_suppress_s = 0.75` so the cone does not instantly re-acquire the person.
+    New input actions `walk_slow` (Shift), `cycle_target_next` / `cycle_target_prev`
+    (wheel down / up). Right click with nothing open clears focus (Esc still pauses).
+  - HUD: `nearby_label` + `set_nearby_hint(count)` show `hud.nearby`; `hud.controls` and
+    `hud.targeting` mention the wheel and Shift.
+  - `tools/screen_designs.py`: catalogue now 19 screens (added wand_screening,
+    joke_shop_queue, studio_arrival, crowd_panic, responder_arrival,
+    body_camera_timeline, escalation_hud), new `list` command, `generate --only/--force`
+    (existing designs are kept by default so a draft run cannot clobber AI mockups),
+    and `judge --dry-run` no longer raises `KeyError: 'class'`.

+    `ObjectDB instances leaked at exit`. Verified against a `git worktree` of HEAD~ — the

+
+Decisions: [ADR-0011](docs/adr/0011-aim-free-selection-and-precision-walk.md) aim-free selection and precision walk, [ADR-0012](docs/adr/0012-surface-materials-and-generated-props.md) surface materials and generated props.
+
+The blockout look and the aim-first selection model were the two biggest gaps left by the control pass. This pass closes them without changing the game's rules.
+
+**Look.** Surfaces get real profiles instead of stock materials: brick is rough and finely tiled, concrete is rougher still, asphalt is smoother and damp-looking, glass is smooth and slightly metallic. The environment gains ACES tonemapping, soft glow, aerial fog and a mild grade, all driven by the same per-phase configuration that already moves the sun and sky. The facade gains framed windows that light up after dark, a stone base course, door trim and handles. Street furniture becomes real geometry: bollards, benches, bins, planters, newspaper boxes and a hydrant, built as `.glb` props by `tools/model_pipeline.py` with a procedural fallback. NPCs get per-role clothing palettes, small role accessories (cap, hood, backpack, sunglasses, lanyard), hands, shoes, and an arm/leg walk swing. The rule stays: the player judges people from clothes, props and behaviour, never from an archetype label.
+
+**Models.** Prop meshes are deterministic primitives, so the build works offline. An image model can supply the per-prop colour palette from a concept sheet; that is the only AI influence on geometry, and it is optional. Colours are converted from sRGB to linear before they reach glTF, because glTF factors are linear.
+
+**Selection.** The focus cone ranks heads by angle from the crosshair then distance. `Tab` and the mouse wheel cycle nearby people nearest-first and pin the choice, so aim-free play works. Right click clears focus and briefly suppresses re-acquisition. Holding `Shift` walks at half speed for close work at the door. Escape keeps its single meaning (close the top panel, otherwise pause).
+
 ## Design Direction
 
 The game should feel like a tense workplace simulation with occasional crisis moments. The most satisfying outcome is not overpowering an NPC; it is recognizing the situation early and resolving it calmly.

 The audit classifies measurable fit issues as `good` or `bad` based on role-specific dimensions, aspect ratio, alpha requirements, and tile-edge continuity. It lists perspective/projection as a visual review item because image semantics cannot be judged reliably by these deterministic checks.
 
+### Prop models
+
+Street furniture (bollards, benches, bins, planters, newspaper boxes, a hydrant)
+is real 3D geometry generated by `tools/model_pipeline.py` and written to
+`assets/models/generated/*.glb`. Godot imports each file as a `PackedScene`, and
+`WorldBuilder` instantiates it with a procedural fallback when the model or its
+import is missing, so the world still builds on a fresh checkout.
+
+```bash
+# Print the catalogue (parts, triangle count, whether a model/concept exists)
+python3 tools/model_pipeline.py list
+
+# Rebuild the models (deterministic, offline) and validate them
+python3 tools/model_pipeline.py build
+python3 tools/model_pipeline.py audit
+
+# Optional: an image model supplies the colour palette per prop
+# (requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY; the repo .env is read automatically)
+python3 tools/model_pipeline.py concept
+python3 tools/model_pipeline.py concept --only bench --force
+```
+
+Each prop is a small list of boxes and cylinders, so `build` needs no network and
+the output is byte-identical between runs. `concept` asks an image model for a
+studio-style reference; `dominant_colors` and `assign_roles` then map that image's
+colours onto material roles (darkest → metal, warm saturated → wood, light grey →
+stone, green → foliage). glTF stores colours in linear space, so the tool converts
+the sRGB palettes before writing them. Re-run `build` and `godot --headless
+--path . --import` after changing a prop. See
+[ADR-0012](docs/adr/0012-surface-materials-and-generated-props.md).
+
+Surface materials share one definition in `src/game/materials.gd`: named
+roughness/metallic profiles per surface, plus the environment tune-up (ACES
+tonemapping, glow, fog, colour grading) that the phase lighting applies.

 - Audio: a looping procedural crowd bed (filtered murmur) whose volume follows `CrowdSystem.mood`, plus radio open/close crackle. All generated at runtime, no audio assets, and safe with a dummy audio server

 - Authored scenario content: Joke Shop reservation-without-ID, borrowed/mismatched ID, a guest who refuses the wand screen, and a late arrival during a performance; Studio filming-boundary repeats and a celebrity arrival that draws a small crowd; Building events that point the player at the body camera and request-reason verbs

 - Assets pass: authored textures in `assets/textures/` (brick facade, concrete, asphalt, awning, skyline, vignette, HUD icons, access-card art) generated by `tools/generate_textures.py`, soft sun shadows, humanoid NPC rigs with archetype props + procedural walk bob and attention head-turn, inspection artifact cards, escalation vignette, mode icons, and a body-camera overlay (REC + shift clock)
+- Rendering pass (v0.3.0 work, [ADR-0012](docs/adr/0012-surface-materials-and-generated-props.md)): one material module with roughness/metallic profiles per surface, ACES tonemapping, glow, aerial fog and colour grading driven by the shift phase, correctly scaled brick, framed facade windows that light up at night, door trim and handles, a curb and lane dashes, and the glowing marquee/lamp bulbs. NPCs gained per-role clothing palettes, caps/hoods/backpacks/sunglasses/lanyards, hands and shoes, and an arm/leg walk swing
+- Prop atlas (v0.3.1): `tools/model_pipeline.py` packs each prop's palette into one power-of-two colour atlas plus a metallic/roughness atlas and emits a single material with per-vertex UVs, so a prop is one draw material rather than one per part; `audit` enforces the contract
+- Generated prop models (v0.3.0 work): `tools/model_pipeline.py` builds bollards, benches, bins, planters, newspaper boxes and a hydrant as `.glb` props with per-part materials, loaded by `WorldBuilder` with a procedural fallback; the optional AI concept step (`model_pipeline.py concept`) supplies per-prop colour palettes
+- Web build: `build/step-line-web-<version>.zip` (Godot's non-threaded web template, no COOP/COEP headers needed) built by `tools/build_releases.sh` and published with the desktop artifacts; serve the unzipped folder from any static host
+- Aim-free selection pass (v0.3.0 work, [ADR-0011](docs/adr/0011-aim-free-selection-and-precision-walk.md)): the focus cone ranks candidates by angle then distance, `Tab` and the mouse wheel cycle nearby people nearest-first and pin the selection, right click clears focus with a short re-acquire grace, the HUD reports how many people are in the ring, and holding `Shift` walks at half speed for close work

+**53** Python tooling tests; the session, PLAN-verb, crowd, emergency, timeline, audio, scenario-content, and
+windowed focus/radial smokes pass. Anonymous downloads are enabled on the host.
 
-Host `REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW` stays deferred.
+All planned backlog sections are complete (see `DONE.md`). Optional future ideas live below.
 
-## Distribution follow-up (host config, deferred)
+## Future ideas (optional, not scheduled)
 
-Verified via API+host credentials (2026-10-31):
-
-- [x] Repo is **public** (`private:false`) and account has admin rights.
-- [x] Release `v0.2.1` now carries all five artifacts (portable binaries + NSIS installer +
-      AppImage).
-- [ ] **Remaining host setting**: instance-wide `[service] REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW=true` makes
-      anonymous browsing/downloads redirect to login. Host admin: `REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = false`
-      under `[service]` in `app.ini`, restart Gitea. Alternative: mirror downloads.
-
-## Release pipeline follow-up
-
-- [x] Fix `tools/publish_release.sh`: the `~/.git-credentials` branch never set `AUTH`,
-      so every tag build since v0.2.2 failed to publish.
-- [x] Add a `github.token` fallback in `.gitea/workflows/build.yml` (the repo has no
-      `GITEA_TOKEN` secret).
-- [x] Fall back to the checkout's git extraheader when no token/credentials exist (the
-      Gitea runner does not expose `github.token`).
-- [x] Uploads now fail loudly and the release is verified to carry every artifact
-      (a silent HTTP 4xx used to leave an empty release with a green job).
-- [x] Host disk expanded to 16G; v0.2.0 and v0.2.9 releases restored from the local artifacts.
-- [x] Host maintenance via `root@192.168.88.30`: apt cache cleaned and journald capped
-      (`SystemMaxUse=300M` in `/etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/99-size.conf`); ~7.6G free.
-- [x] Verified end to end: tagging v0.2.12 produced a release with all five artifacts
-      (AppImage, Linux, macOS, NSIS installer, Windows) from CI, with no repo secret.
-- [ ] Optionally backfill releases for v0.2.4–v0.2.8 (their CI artifacts were not
-      retained; would need local rebuilds) or leave them superseded by the latest.
-
-## Open Polish
-
-- [ ] Keep `%` placeholders stable in `Strings.fmt` when adding keys (positional formatting).
-
-## Screen design references (QA tooling)
-
-- [x] `tools/screen_designs.py generate` writes one reference design per screen
-      (from the `docs/` descriptions) to `docs/screens/designs/`, with an offline
-      `--draft` wireframe mode and an OpenRouter `--ai` mockup mode.
-- [x] `tools/screen_designs.py compare` checks `docs/screenshots/*.png` against the
-      designs (aspect ratio, size, blank-frame, and layout/palette/detail drift).
-- [ ] Vision-model judge for semantic screenshot comparison. Pixel and perceptual
-      metrics cannot decide whether a frame's composition is correct; a follow-up
-      should send the capture + reference design to a vision model and ask whether
-      they depict the same screen.
-
-## Tooling (when an editor workflow exists)
-
-- [ ] IDE/editor-based GUT integration. Until then the custom headless runner stays.
-- [ ] Optional later: author venues as `.tres` resources instead of `ScenarioFactory` functions.
+- [ ] Live 3D body-camera replay (the timeline is text-only today).
+- [ ] LOD/culling for NPCs if `MAX_LIVE_NPCS` grows past the measured 16-avatar budget.
+- [ ] Additional venues or seasonal events authored from the new `.tres` files.
+- [ ] Real voice/dialogue audio (the crowd bed and radio crackle are procedural).
+- [ ] Swap the primitive prop builder for an image-to-mesh model API behind the same
+      `assets/models/generated/<prop>.glb` contract.
+- [ ] Regenerate the AI screen mockups for the seven new catalogue entries (only the
+      deterministic wireframes exist so far).

+# ADR-0011: Aim-free target selection, precision walk, and focus clearing
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-10-31
+
+## Context
+
+ADR-0007 and ADR-0008 split input into locomotion, look, and a focus cone. A pass over the resulting controls found four problems in play:
+
+1. **The cone ignored what the player sees.** `NpcFocus.pick_index` returned the first head inside the cone in group order, not the one nearest the crosshair. Two people in the cone gave an arbitrary pick.
+2. **`Tab` cycled in spawn order.** `GameManager._cycle_nearby_target` walked the `npcs` array, so "next" meant "next spawned", not "next nearest".
+3. **A cycled target was dropped within a few frames.** The cone re-evaluated every physics frame and cleared a target that was not under the crosshair after the 8-frame miss grace. Aim-free selection therefore only worked while the player also aimed.
+4. **There was no way to dismiss someone.** `Esc` pauses the shift and right click only cancelled modals.
+
+The movement pass also left one gap at the door: the only walking speed is 3.2 m/s, which overshoots when the player is trying to stand at a register or read an artifact at conversation distance.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Rank the cone by angle, then distance.** `NpcFocus.rank_indices` scores every head by its angle from the camera forward vector and breaks ties by distance; `pick_index` is the first ranked entry. The cone therefore picks the person closest to the crosshair, which is what the player is looking at.
+
+**Make aim-free selection authoritative.** `GuardController.cycle_target(direction)` walks `nearby_candidates()` — everyone within 12 m, nearest first — starting from the current target and wrapping in both directions. The chosen avatar is *pinned*: while a pinned target is alive the cone does not re-evaluate, so `Tab` and the mouse wheel produce a stable selection the player can then act on.
+
+**Bind the mouse wheel to the same ring.** `cycle_target_next` (wheel down) and `cycle_target_prev` (wheel up) are new input actions handled in `GameManager._handle_mouse_button`. `Tab` remains the keyboard path. The HUD prints how many people are in the ring (`hud.nearby`), so the player knows the control exists before they need it.
+
+**Right click clears focus, with a short grace.** With no modal open, right click clears the target and suppresses cone acquisition for `FOCUS_SUPPRESS_S = 0.75 s`. Without the grace the cone re-acquired the same person on the next frame, which made the control feel broken. Any explicit pick (cone or cycle) cancels the suppression.
+
+**Add a precision walk.** Holding `Shift` (`walk_slow`) multiplies the walk speed by `SLOW_WALK_FACTOR = 0.45`. This is a fine-positioning aid, not a sprint: PLAN.md deliberately excludes sprint and crouch, and this does not add a faster move.
+
+Escape keeps its current meaning (close the top modal, otherwise pause). Selection is not overloaded onto the same key.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- The focused person is predictable: the one nearest the crosshair, or the one the player explicitly cycled to.
+- Aim-free play works: cycle, act, cycle again, without fighting the cone.
+- Right click has an unambiguous "never mind" meaning while remaining a modal cancel.
+- Standing on a mark while reading an artifact is possible.
+
+### Negative
+
+- Two more input actions and one more piece of guard state (`target_pinned`, `focus_suppress_s`).
+- A cycled target stays selected until the player clears it, acts, or the avatar is freed; it does not expire on its own.
+- The 0.75 s suppression is a feel constant that may need tuning against play testing.
+
+## Follow-up
+
+- The action wheel (ADR-0009) and inspection panels still take `A`/`D`; the wheel owns those keys while it is open, and the guard is frozen then, so no conflict is observable.

+# ADR-0012: Surface material profiles and generated prop models
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-10-31
+
+## Context
+
+The procedural street was built from `BoxMesh` primitives with `StandardMaterial3D` defaults: albedo colour (or a texture) and everything else stock. Every surface therefore shared one roughness, street furniture was a set of scaled boxes, and the sky was a flat `ProceduralSkyMaterial` with no tonemapping, glow, or fog. Captures looked like a blockout: brick tiles were metres wide, the sidewalk blew out to white, the facade had no windows, and night mode only switched the lamp bulbs and the marquee.
+
+Two constraints shaped the fix:
+
+- The project renders with the **GL Compatibility** backend so it stays small and portable, which rules out features that only exist in Forward+ (`SSAO`, `SSIL`).
+- The repo must build offline in CI, so any asset step has to work without a network or an API key.
+
+## Decision
+
+**One material module.** `src/game/materials.gd` (`SurfaceMaterials`) owns a named profile table (`brick`, `concrete`, `asphalt`, `awning`, `stone`, `metal`, `painted_metal`, `wood`, `cloth`, `skin`, `glass`, `rubber`) with roughness/metallic pairs, plus the recipes the world and avatars use (`brick()`, `concrete()`, `asphalt()`, `awning()`, `flat()`, `emissive()`, `glass()`, `window_pane()`). The world builder, the NPC avatars, and the prop fallbacks all call it, so a surface has one definition.
+
+**One environment tune-up.** `SurfaceMaterials.configure_environment()` applies ACES tonemapping, soft glow (for the marquee, lamp bulbs, and lit windows), aerial fog, and a mild contrast/saturation lift. `GameManager.PHASE_LIGHTING` now carries the per-phase values (`exposure`, `glow`, `fog_color`, `fog_density`, `fog_energy`, `contrast`, `saturation`, `ambient_energy`) next to the existing sun/sky entries, so a phase change still happens in one place. Features unavailable in Compatibility are ignored by the driver rather than gated in code.
+
+**Generated prop models.** `tools/model_pipeline.py` describes street furniture (bollard, bench, bin, planter, newspaper box, hydrant) as boxes and cylinders and writes binary glTF (`.glb`) into `assets/models/generated/`. Godot imports each file as a `PackedScene`, and `WorldBuilder._add_prop_model()` instantiates it with a procedural fallback when the file or its import is missing. The build is deterministic and needs no network.
+
+**AI only supplies colour.** `model_pipeline.py concept` asks an image model (OpenRouter, same backend as the texture tools) for one studio-style concept per prop. `dominant_colors()` reads the centre of that image and ranks colours by frequency weighted by saturation (a grey backdrop otherwise wins), and `assign_roles()` maps the result onto material roles by hue and value: darkest tone → metal, warm saturated tone → wood, light desaturated tone → stone, green tone → foliage. Colours are converted from sRGB to **linear** before they are written into glTF `baseColorFactor`, because the factor is linear space and writing sRGB made every prop render pastel.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Surfaces read as materials: brick has fine, correctly scaled tiling, asphalt is smoother than brick, glass is smooth and slightly metallic, and the night sky carries warm lit windows.
+- Street furniture is real geometry with per-part materials instead of scaled boxes, and it costs ~700 triangles for the whole set.
+- The prop pipeline works with no key and no network; the concept step is optional and only changes colours.
+- Tests can assert material profiles, environment values, and GLB structure without rendering.
+
+### Negative
+
+- The generated models are low-poly primitives, not sculpted assets; they are an improvement in silhouette, not photoreal props.
+- Two colour spaces now exist in the tooling. `model_pipeline.srgb_to_linear` must be used for every colour written into glTF, which is easy to forget.
+- Concept images are per-prop inputs that have to be regenerated (and reviewed) when the art direction changes; a poor concept now produces a poor palette.
+- Compatibility rendering means no ambient occlusion, so contact shadows rely on the directional light only.
+
+## Follow-up
+
+- A 3D-model API (image-to-mesh) could replace the primitive builder behind the same `assets/models/generated/<prop>.glb` contract without touching `WorldBuilder`.
+- Texture atlases for the props would let them share one material instead of one per part.

+"""Build the low-poly prop models used in the Step Line street scene.
+
+The scene needs street furniture (bollards, benches, bins, planters, newspaper
+boxes, a hydrant) that reads as solid geometry instead of flat boxes. This tool
+keeps that art direction in one place:
+
+  * every prop is described as a small list of boxes and cylinders, so the
+    build is deterministic and runs offline in CI;
+  * an optional AI concept image per prop (OpenRouter, the same backend as
+    `generate_textures.py`) supplies the colour palette, so a model can look
+    like the concept without a 3D-model API;
+  * `build` writes standard glTF binary (`.glb`) files that Godot 4 imports as
+    `PackedScene`s, and `audit` checks the files are structurally valid.
+
+Commands (run from the repo root):
+
+  python3 tools/model_pipeline.py list
+  python3 tools/model_pipeline.py build
+  python3 tools/model_pipeline.py audit
+  python3 tools/model_pipeline.py concept            # needs OPENROUTER_API_KEY
+  python3 tools/model_pipeline.py concept --only bench
+
+The concept step is optional: `build` never needs the network. If
+`assets/models/concepts/<prop>.png` exists, its dominant colours replace the
+role colours from the catalogue, which is the only AI influence on the mesh.
