A. DEPOT — closed, under John's R22 standing Lane-E authorization (the authority that
shipped sit.glb in R28 and the nine R36 sweep assets). Pushed via the passwordless
tailnet ingress: _published.json 53 -> 56, drift check clean. Then verified the way
this lane verifies — FETCHED BACK OFF THE PUBLIC DEPOT and hashed, not "the upload
said 200": magpie/paling_fence/water_tank all HTTP 200, byte counts exact, sha1
identical to local, 3/3. _r38_results.PENDING_PUBLISH.json renamed, build_manifest
re-run (GLBs 33 -> 36), validate_manifest 0 errors / 0 warnings.
B. THE MAGPIE TINT — done, not offered. The bird shipped as an all-black crow (R38 4d
traced the loss to trellis2_mlx's PBR bake). "Hand-tint the atlas" is not a paint job:
the bake is a smart-UV unwrap of ~100 islands and none of them announces itself as a
nape. So pipeline/tint_atlas.py defines the tint in the MESH's frame and projects it
through the UVs — rasterize every UV triangle to texel->(position,normal), evaluate
soft anatomical windows on the positions (white nape behind a black crown, shoulder
bar on the flanks only so the dorsal midline stays black, rump + tail base stopping
short of the black terminal band), paint keeping the bake's own luminance as shading,
then dilate 5 texels into the UV padding so no black fringe survives bilinear/mip.
3-D masks give one consistent soft edge across every island at once; a 2-D blur could
not (it would bleed island-to-island through the black background).
GEOMETRY UNTOUCHED byte for byte: still 894 tris / 1 mtl / 1 img / 512^2 WebP / no
Draco / 0.155x0.358x0.404 m. Painted luma median 0.84 (p90 0.95) vs the bake's 0.13.
VERIFIED IN THE GAME'S OWN RENDERER: the PUBLISHED file loaded off digalot.fyi through
the vendored GLTFLoader + three.js — 1 mesh, 894 tris, 512x512 texture decoded (which
also proves the PIL-written WebP decodes in a browser).
VERDICT: it reads. Pied and unmistakable at 64 and 48 px, still black-and-white at 32.
Honest caveat: from directly below-and-in-front it stays dark — correct, a real
magpie's bib and belly ARE black. Render: docs/shots/laneE/r38_magpie_tint.png.

Note on night_crowd (Lane F, R10)
Re-framed to the tighter, readable "one lit shop in a closed town" composition. It does not show a
standing street crowd, and that is not a framing bug: Lane D's night patronage parks ducked-in patrons
hidden inside the shop (they become the interior browsers seen in browsers.png), and seed 20261990's
video shop sits on a low-traffic corner, so none gather visibly outside (tested: 0 patronage / 0 visible
at night). The town's night life is the interior presence + the neon-vs-CLOSED mood. A visible outdoor
night queue would need a new Lane-D mechanic (loiter-outside-the-openLate-shop) — parked for v3. The
~20 fps in night captures is a headless-chromium software-GL artifact (the scene is light, ~128
draws / 65k tris); on real hardware the night scene is not a perf concern.
Regression workflow
Before a risky change, snapshot the good state into before/, then re-run v2_tour.py and eyeball
v2_contact.html. Process rule (R10): any shot containing a humanoid gets an explicit
"figures human-sized relative to doors/fittings: yes" line in the progress note — actually look.
