A. PIPELINE FIX: gen_props.py trellis_mac -> trellis2_mlx, contract read from its
manifest.json. The two operators are NOT drop-in on output — trellis2_mlx writes
BOTH candidate.glb (raw) and candidate_pbr.glb (baked), so the old
sorted(rglob('*.glb'))[0] would have silently shipped untextured meshes. Added
_pick_glb() (result.json first) + the bg_remove_local cutout stage, fail-soft.
MEASURED: median 128.0s vs trellis_mac's 245.4s p50 = 1.92x. 5/5 first attempt,
0 retries against the 4-5% budget. One 489s tail outlier, no error — named.
B. AUDIO (1.1) — six PACK entries, +0.86MB, ZERO draws/tris, all originalby
construction: dog-bark-fence, mower-distant, radio-through-window, sprinkler,
roller-door, magpie-carol. Seeded via crc32(name); beds fold seamlessly
(wrap-jump <=0.18x internal step). Verified by spectrogram + band-energy, and
one defect found by LOOKING: the sprinkler's spray masked its own ticks and read
as a hose — rebalanced and re-rendered. Distance is spent in the SPECTRUM, not
the level, because encode()'s loudnorm undoes a quiet render.
C. GROUNDS (1.2) — gen_skins.py had NO ground template; added one with its own
outdoor style prefix (the house STYLE says "warm fluorescent", an interior cue).
4 new 512^2 square tiles. Review's 5.7s is 9.7s here — same per-pixel, mine are
1.78x the pixels. Found: gravel/reddust are selected by nothing partly because
their `use` values name no slot ground.js:177 has.
D. MESHES — 3 shipped (magpie 894 tris, paling_fence 1121, water_tank 500), all
GLB-law clean. 2 FAILED and were DELETED: hills_hoist + tv_aerial. Thin wire
returns as thousands of disconnected fragments, so collapse floors at 250k/89k
AND a remesh coarse enough for 600 tris erases the pole. Lane B's boxMats
primitives cost +0 draws and are strictly better. The magpie's geometry passes
but TRELLIS crushed its white nape/wing to black — traced to the operator's bake
(the cutout and our decimation are both exonerated); flagged, not hidden.
E. REUSE — all 9 idle assets re-measured; the review's "one line each" holds for
only 5. furniture.js's extractGLB keeps only the FIRST material, so park_bench/
coffee_table/box_crate render in material #1 and bench_wood (0 materials) falls
to grey. Nothing was regenerated that already existed.
The 3 GLBs are staged, NOT published: a depot push is outward-facing and had no
in-session authorization. Held at _r38_results.PENDING_PUBLISH.json; publish +
rename + rebuild lands them. Gate green: validate_manifest 0 errors / 0 warnings.

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.

v2 features are procedural (no forced GLB needs), so E2 is light per Fable's "no
unconsumed entries": two synthetic depot props with clear homes — council-bin ->
procity_street_bin_01 (Lane B street dressing) + milk-crate-stack ->
procity_fit_crate_stack_01 (Lane C floor piles / dig). Both 3k tris, base-origin,
re-normalized to procity names + thumbs, published, verified loading, validate --depot
0 err. Manifest 18 fittings + 10 furniture (28 GLBs). Also noted B3 resolved
(novelty_record 26.5k->8k via E1 bake).

Audit -> normalize (16 GLBs + thumbs) -> web/assets/manifest.json (the
contract Lanes B/C/D read) -> facade gap-fill.
Step 4 facades generated locally on the M3 Ultra via MODELBEAST
flux_local (FLUX.2-klein-4B / MLX on MPS): 23 skins, free, ~5.7s each,
blank signboard, eyeballed, harvested, mapped to shop types. Every
registry type now has >=3 facades (stall 2->4, closing the Lane A gap).
Corner-lot -side walls tagged face:"side" with empty types so no shop
front ever selects a windowless wall. manifest validates green.
Still gated on John (both optional -- the game runs asset-free):
publish the 16 GLBs to 3GOD (needs GOD3_PW), MeshGod hero props (~$2.70).
