## Visual alignment with rendered mockups

### Align in-game visuals

- [x] Make the venue selection screen match the `start_menu` mockup (layout, palette, background).
- [x] Make the HUD match the `targeting_npc` / `escalation_hud` mockups (focus ring, escalation meter, log, hints).
- [x] Align the pause, settings, and shift-review panels to their mockups.
- [x] Align the radio and wand panels to their mockups.
- [x] Align the body-camera timeline to its mockup.
- [ ] Align scene lighting, fog, and post-processing for `venue_overview` and `late_night_avenue`.

## Realism follow-ups (v0.6.1 candidates)

- [ ] Fixed ground exposure for the entrance view: it is still ~20 % brighter than the concept.
      Either put the entrance in the building's shadow (sun yaw/elevation) or add a slight
      per-view exposure so the shaded sidewalk reads mid-grey.
- [ ] Make the flashlight read in the dark: the `06-night-flashlight` concept shows a visible
      beam, but a Compatibility spot light only brightens the near wall. A cheap fake cone (an
      additive mesh or a light-shaft quad) would sell it, and the night mockup expects it.
- [ ] NPC skin/clothing still reads as low-poly next to the concepts (judge `characters` ≈ 0–1).
      The Blender library has the budgets for one more detail pass (fingers, sleeves, faces).
- [ ] The `screen_designs.py judge` default model (`google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite`) currently
      fails with a provider "API key not valid" 400; the tool retries once. Re-check before the
      next release and either pin a working model or document `--model`.
- [ ] Add the two venue stages to the committed gallery (they are capture-only today) and give
      the Joke Shop and studio their own geometry so their concept comparisons are geometric,
      not just lighting.

## Future ideas (optional, not scheduled)

- [ ] Live 3D body-camera replay (the timeline is text-only today).
- [ ] 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.
