All notable user-facing changes to Gig Line. The format follows
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and versions use
Semantic Versioning.

## [0.6.1] — 2026-11-01

### Added

- Gear-fit checks: `tools/blender_assets.py fit` reports head/skirt clearance,
  and the headless suite verifies that head and back gear clears the body
  silhouette.
- A refreshed Influencer portrait and gallery captures with a before/after
  report in `docs/screens/realism/2026-11-01-gear/`.
- An explicit `--portrait-type` override for capturing hooded roles when a
  scenario spawns one.

### Changed

- Narrowed the sunglasses so they sit inside the face silhouette.
- Moved the shoulder bag outboard so it clears both the coat and dress skirts.
- Raised the firefighter helmet so the brim no longer sits on the brow.
- Portrait captures now turn the subject toward the camera and hide the blue
  focus overlay, so close-ups show the character rather than the UI.
- The README now links to focused docs pages for gameplay, architecture, setup,
  asset tooling, development status and the manual smoke checklist.

### Fixed

- The shoulder bag no longer clips through the coat's skirt.
- The firefighter helmet no longer cuts into the brow ridge.
- The portrait subject no longer faces away from the camera.
- `--portrait-type` is now parsed and applied instead of being ignored.

## [0.6.0] — 2026-11-01

### Added

- Blender-authored character, gear and prop library with baked ambient occlusion.
- Higher-resolution environment textures with tangent normal maps.
- Phase-driven emissive details on library props, characters and street dressing.
- Dedicated README docs for gameplay, architecture, setup, asset tooling,
  development status and manual smoke testing.

### Changed

- Environment lighting, fog, sun angle and night glow were retuned for the new
  skyline and surface assets.
- The flashlight beam is visible at night and the NPC detail pass adds faces,
  hands and cuffs.

### Fixed

- The body-camera overlay no longer covers the shift status.
- Selecting a venue releases the menu input lock and recaptures the mouse.

## [0.5.0] — 2026-11-01

### Added

- Articulated NPC characters with layered outfits, hand items, face/hair variety,
  idle behaviour, reaction symbols, queue offsets and three LOD tiers.

  precision-walk feedback and surface-aware footsteps.

### Changed
