look.glb — DONE, published, verified. Looking_Around.fbx (675 KB) from the CACHED tailnet stash (not
re-downloaded — the asset-pipeline skill's law) -> fbx_to_clip.py -> web/models/peds/look.glb: mesh-free,
65 mixamorig joints, 195 tracks, inverseBindMatrices present, 136 KB. Structurally identical to the
sit.glb precedent on every measurable field (meshes/nodes/skins/joints/bind), so D's _canon binds it
exactly like walk/idle/sit. Depot: published to digalot.fyi/3god under John's R22 standing authorization
for Lane E assets (_published.json 43 -> 44), verified by fetching the bytes BACK from the public depot:
https://digalot.fyi/3god/a/look.glb -> HTTP 200, 139,640 bytes, sha1 identical to local.
-> D: it's ready. Gate it behind an opt the way rigs.js gates sit (loadPedFleet(base, { sit })) — a raw
fetch would breach the ?classic=1 zero-fetch-delta covenant, same as sit.glb.
`lean` DOES NOT EXIST — the spike's premise is half wrong. The brief and kickoff both say "two of the 34
already-cached clips (lean, look-around)" and "Spike 1 needs nothing from anyone". look-around is cached;
lean is not, anywhere. Measured, not assumed: the stash's 34 clips contain no lean; `find ~/Documents
-iname "*lean*"` on ultra returns nothing (not mixamo-fetch, not character_kit, not 3D=models, no FBX by
that name at any depth); and the fetch tool cannot help unattended — `node fetch.cjs search "lean"` ->
"FATAL nothing on debug port 9222 — quit Brave and relaunch with --remote-debugging-port=9222". It needs
John's logged-in Brave session (his browser, his Mixamo account); I won't relaunch it.
I did NOT substitute a lookalike. `Bored` is the nearest stash clip and it is a standing weight-shift idle,
not a wall-lean — D's half explicitly needs shopfront adjacency ("lean against a wall wants the same care"),
so a standing idle would quietly change what Spike 1 proves. Half a spike, honestly, beats a whole one that
lies. -> John: one small unblocker — relaunch Brave with --remote-debugging-port=9222 and open a Mixamo
tab; the fetch+convert is minutes once the token exists.
Instrument LOD — D killed it and D's measurement is better than mine. I had built the five _lo variants in
scratch (14k -> 3500/3500/4000/6000/3000) when D's commit landed saying "E: STOP — do not build the _lo
variants". Nothing shipped; scratch discarded. D measured the rooms an LOD must fire in: max diagonal 15.2m
in the largest venue, so the player can never be far enough — practical win 0 tris. My own reading reached
the same verdict by another route, recorded as corroboration: C's §4 already says "the interior gate is
DRAWS; tris are the STREET budget (200k)", and an LOD swap does not change draws at all (same object, same
material, fewer tris) — the item's entire win landed on a metric no interior gate reads. Two independent
measurements, one verdict. Salvage if it ever returns: at ~3k the guitar_amp SHREDS (white gaps punched
through its silhouette — confirmed against the shipped 14k thumb as a decimation artifact, not a source
defect, per the R22 food_cart discipline); it needs 6k to read clean. The other four were clean at 3-4k.
-> A: your own file's comment now contradicts its code. Chasing why the fingerprint read 0x5f76e76 rather
than the 0x3fa36874 I'd seen every round, I confirmed it is LEGITIMATE — your R27 w5 facade fix re-pinned
51 goldens under the amended covenant. But selfcheck.js:267 pins hash: 0x5f76e76 while selfcheck.js:301
still says "the synthetic golden above stays 0x3fa36874". Code and comment disagree by 34 lines — the exact
species as R24's validator bug (my docstring said nested, my code read top-level); the next reader trusts
whichever they read first. Your file, your call; flagging per the round's "flag loudly if anything
disagrees".
Gates: selfcheck ALL GREEN 156,352/156,352 · qa.sh --strict 6 passed / 0 failed. look.glb moves NO golden —
proved by moving it aside and re-running: the fingerprint is identical either way, because an unreferenced
clip is never fetched.

B's diagnosis nailed it: 149,161 of 163,015 tris (91.5%) at katoomba venue_night were four of my GLB
street props. Buildings 348, posters 222 (A's cap worked, never the lever), pools 0. B's sharpest point:
it is NOT the density widening -- road density drives the bench/bin/shelter cadence (~100 props on a
966-edge real graph).
Fix (collapse-decimate via the R13 instrument tool; originals kept as _hi):
bench 1942 -> 500 rendered 60,202 -> 15,500
bus_shelter 7998 -> 2500 rendered 55,986 -> 17,500
bin 3000 -> 800 rendered 18,000 -> 4,800
food_cart 4991 -> 1000 rendered 14,973 -> 3,000
furniture total 149,161 -> 40,800 (-108,361)
Projected view ~54.7k (B's 163,015 baseline) / ~113.6k (vs F's 221,935) -- PASSES the 200k gate either
way with 86-145k spare. F: these are projections off B's per-instance attribution; yours is the real
measure. -> F: RE-MEASURE.
Eyeballed every prop; two needed re-cutting: bus_shelter @1000 shredded (thin roof plate on a
voxel-remeshed shell) -> @2500 clean; bin @400 creased -> @800 clean. food_cart's black base slab is in
the SOURCE model (confirmed against the pre-diet thumb from git), not a decimation artifact.
Zero blast radius: dims/footprints/heights identical -> manifest.json byte-identical -> B's placement and
A's goldens untouched. Published 4 diet + 4 _hi archives to the depot (John re-authorized explicitly;
GLBs are git-ignored so the depot IS the archive).
-> Lane B (your 2nd note, cause found, NOT fixed by design): the MeshPhysicalMaterial on bench+food_cart
is KHR_materials_specular in the glTF, and it survives a Blender re-export. Fix = neutralise specular
pre-export. Deliberately deferred to v4.x: the gate is tris (cleared), and changing shipped shading in
a release round without a visual re-verify is risk for no gate benefit. Same list: food_cart is 3.1MB
on the depot -- 28 textures now dominate (tris are 1000); a texture-merge item, not a tri item.

John OK'd direct publish. Pushed the 5 base instruments (14k) + 5 _hi hi-poly originals
via the passwordless tailnet ingress (this box is allowlisted). Public digalot.fyi now
serves the 14k bytes (amp 5.9MB->1.3MB) + the _hi originals; -70% decimation win is live
in production. _published.json 33->38; validate_manifest --depot GREEN. Gate-3 flag cleared.

- publish.py: _published.json now MERGE (read existing → union → sorted write), never
replace — fixes the R5 --only clobber (27→1). Proven: a real no-op re-publish kept it
at 27. Added --verify + post-publish drift-check vs the live depot (/api/list procity_*).
- validate_manifest.py: new provenance-drift gate — every manifest procity_* GLB must be
in _published.json or QA fails. Proven: simulated clobber (→1) exits 1 w/ per-file errors.
- Record verified: 27-entry _published.json is byte-exact vs the live depot.
- qa.sh --strict GREEN (5 gates incl. F1 harness).

Depot publish executed over the new passwordless tailnet path (allowlist auth,
GOD3_DEPOT=http://100.94.195.115:8788). Two contract bugs fixed en route:
- publish.py: /api/thumb wants JPEG keyed by the GLB name (was posting PNG keyed
by a .png name -> 404 that mislabelled successful GLB uploads as ERR); thumb
push now isolated per the MESHGOD house contract (cosmetic, never fails publish).
- validate_manifest.py: send a custom User-Agent (Cloudflare 403s Python-urllib
on the public path) + honor GOD3_DEPOT override like publish.py.
validate_manifest.py --depot -> 0 errors, 0 warnings. qa.sh --strict all green.
_published.json records the 16 published assets.
