hex_to_rgba put sRGB fractions straight into Blender's LINEAR Base Color
socket, so baseColorFactor shipped linear-encoded-as-sRGB and three's
linear->sRGB display step made every surface one gamma step too light
and desaturated, on every asset, since Sprint 1. Measured: leaf_gum
#7C8F5E displayed #B9C5A3, bark_gum #BFB8A8 displayed #E0DDD4 (the
near-white gum trunk THREADS blamed on Blender's view transform).
Fixed at source with the exact IEC curve (alpha untouched — coverage,
not colour) and the whole factory rebuilt: ALL ASSETS PASS. e.test now
pins mat.color.getHexString(SRGBColorSpace) against the authored PAL hex
— factory intent vs what the runtime draws, the one comparison neither
end can fake. Mutation-checked red-then-green against the pre-fix GLB.
523/0/0, verified by eye in the running game before and after.

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.
