carport_01 is site_02's dressing and its whole design. DESIGN.md wants the
corner block anchor-poor, and the interesting way to build that isn't to give
the yard nothing — an empty yard is just a smaller yard. It's to give it
something that looks like four free anchors and isn't. Light posts on small
pads, a beam sized for one sheet of roofing: tie 25 m2 to it in a southerly and
you take the carport, not the shackle. Ships with the worst ratings in the game
(beam 0.22 vs the fascia's 0.35) and collateral="carport", pinned in e.test.js
below the fascia with the reason attached, so nobody quietly fixes them upward
and turns the site back into a small yard.
The pyrrhic card is the third outcome on the same camera: dawn, bed green, gnome
standing, sail post down across the yard behind him. Warm light on purpose — a
pyrrhic result is a win, and the wreckage is the price, not the verdict. Copy
goes to Lane A in THREADS; cardpreview renders all three.

grass_atlas.png binned (six sprints, zero refs, Lane E's own recommendation).
Screenshot POST declined — yardshot works standalone, so it buys convenience not
capability. Saying no rather than carrying either an eighth sprint.
Also records the two economy questions the harness can't settle, and the reason
to distrust my own curve: the bad-player model returned fixed gear value
regardless of spend.

hide_render does not survive glTF export — verified in three r175, every node
arrives visible:true. So garden_bed has been drawing plants_full, tattered AND
dead superimposed since Sprint 1, and my THREADS note told Lane A the opposite.
The asserts missed it by checking the nodes existed rather than that only one
was on. The flag now rides in extras, which does export, and consumers apply it
in one line; e.test.js pins the flag instead of the node.
Night dressing: house_yardside gains window_glow, an unlit emissive pane marked
hidden_by_default, plus window_light_anchor. A warm window means someone is
inside, which is why the player is out in the dark keeping the sail on. Plus a
moon sprite whose halo, not its disc, is the part that survives cloud.
End cards are rendered from the game's own props as a diptych: identical camera
and yard, only the night's outcome differs. The left third is left empty for
Lane A's text.
Cards are opt-in behind --cards because EEVEE's shadow pass is not
byte-reproducible across processes in 5.1 — proven with a minimal repro, not
PYTHONHASHSEED, and present even with a hard sun. The dawn shadow is the art, so
the cards become committed art rather than build output. Everything the game
loads stays byte-identical: 38/38 verified.
Selftest 241/0/0.

Hail (SPRINT5 §E-1) ships two ways because Lane C's rain is a BoxGeometry with a
flat material and skyfx loads no external texture at all: hail_stone_01 as
geometry that drops into their existing InstancedMesh pattern, and hail_pips.png
as a 4-cell atlas for impacts. A flat quad can't be round and an impact is round
— that's the only reason the atlas is a texture. Both come with a copy-paste
recipe, because a grep showed exactly one of my five shipped textures is
consumed: sail_weave, the one I wrote a recipe for. grass_atlas has sat
unreferenced for four sprints.
plant_shred (§E-2) is elongated after the first pass came out radial and read as
green potatoes — it's the long axis plus the midrib that says "leaf".
tools/yardshot/ finally lands the DESIGN.md pictures, carried since Sprint 2. It
does NOT touch server.py or main.js: it's a Lane E stdlib server that serves the
repo and takes POST /shot, so the browser posts a Blob and bytes go straight to
disk instead of base64 through a console. do_POST is ~25 lines and Lane A is
welcome to lift it and delete this.
Three traps found on the way, all documented: toBlob is async so the WebGL buffer
is already cleared (toDataURL is sync); a backgrounded tab lays the canvas out at
0x0 and toDataURL then returns "data:,"; rAF is paused there so step() must be
driven by hand.
Selftest 209/0/0, 36 output files byte-identical across two runs.

Pond (SPRINT4 §E-1, decision 10): pond_water.png and pond_normal.png, for a
patch Lane B builds from the cloth's own nodes — same ride-the-nodes rule as the
tears, since a rigid disc would sit still while the belly moves under it. Alpha
is a radial feather and RGB darkens toward the centre, both encoded radially so
the shading survives being scaled per pondMass (radius ~ sqrt(mass)). Water is
grey-green, not blue: rain caught in a sail is shallow, murky and mirrors an
overcast sky.
Both at 256², not 512²: smooth low-frequency content, and at 512 they were
256 KB + 320 KB against ~20 KB for every other texture here. The chop is seven
waves at golden-angle directions rather than three crossed sines, which
interfered into a lattice and read as basketweave; the normal map gets six
integer-frequency waves for the same reason, and still asserts its own tiling.
broom_01 (§E-2): poke_tip sits on the bristle end deliberately — a broomstick
jabbed at a loaded sail holes it.
Renames fence_panel_broken to fence_panel_snapped to match SPRINT4 §A-4/§E-3.
Lane A's dress() guards every load, so the mismatch would not have crashed —
the wreckage would silently never have appeared, which is worse.
All 21 assets pass, 33 output files byte-identical across two runs, 186/0/0.

Textures (SPRINT2 §Lane E-2). sail_weave.png is a seamless 512² knitted
shade-cloth weave with the stripe banding real cloth has; the script proves the
wrap by evaluating a second tile and requiring an exact match, because Lane B is
being told to set RepeatWrapping and a bad wrap would seam across the whole
sail. Luminance rides in a narrow band so it multiplies the base colour instead
of replacing it — high contrast reads as burlap, not HDPE. Dropped the per-pixel
noise: invisible at ±0.012 and incompressible, it cost 305 KB of the 323.
sail_tears.png is a strip of 4 escalating rips. Each is a lens, not a slit —
fabric under tension parts widest in the middle and tapers to a point, and a
constant-width gap reads as a drawn line. Threads bridge the gap, scaled to the
local width; without them a dark lens is a hole rather than a tear.
Dressing (§Lane E-3): wheelie_bin_01 (240 L, 12 kg, `lid` on its own node so it
flaps before the bin goes over), washing_line_01 (a Hills Hoist — the `head`
freewheels, giving a second wind tell at head height), garden_gnome_01
(collateral bait: a smashed gnome reads where a damage number doesn't).
Bin and tramp land in models/debris/ for Lane C to glob. All 19 assets pass, 28
output files byte-identical across two runs, selftest 129/0/0.

16 generated assets plus the grass billboard atlas and the four debris models
copied verbatim from the 3D-STORE library (copies rule, §0). All meter-scale,
Y-up, and far under the 15k tri budget — garden_bed is heaviest at 2,580.
Regeneration is byte-deterministic: two consecutive runs produce identical
files, so re-running the factory causes no churn.
