Forty-eight sprites: every prop in every room is real art now

37 generated props -> 86. Every one of the 76 prop kinds placed across the four
venues has a sprite; nothing renders as a placeholder.

tools/gen/ is the pipeline: assets.py is the manifest (one entry per sprite —
prompt, ship size, rake, route), run_batch.py walks it, resumable, --workers N.
Cloudflare Workers AI first for its 10k free daily neurons, falling back to
MODELBEAST flux_local automatically. Today's allocation was already spent when
the run started — confirmed from Cloudflare's own error body rather than assumed
— so this batch is entirely farm-rendered.

The mesh tier is the part worth keeping: TRELLIS's defaults (1024_cascade + a
2048px metal PBR bake) cost 5-12 minutes each on a queue that runs one gpu job
at a time, which is four hours for a tileset. mb.FAST_MESH (512 + vertex baker)
lands in ~90s, and A/B'd at ship size the difference does not survive the
downscale to 32px.

Also adds the door's per-venue street plates, keyed on the venue id exactly —
'theRoyal', not a case fold, because props_import writes ':' as '_' and a
lowercased key looks for a plate nobody made.

Gate: lint clean, build clean, 821 tests passing.

+## SESSION — FABLE-SOLO-26 · 2026-07-28
+
+**Branch:** main (solo, Fable) · **Gate:** lint ✓ build ✓ test ✓ (821 tests, 56 files)
+Three jobs: four rooms instead of one, 48 new sprites, and a review pass that
+found two bugs in my own refactor.
+
+### 1. The venue ladder gets four actual rooms (docs/VENUES.md)
+`data/venues.ts` has always listed four venues; they shared ONE floor map and
+differed only by difficulty knobs, so a promotion you survived a week for looked
+exactly like the room you had just left.
+
+- `venueMap.ts` grows a **`FloorLayout`** contract (map + props + lights + posts
+  + probes + palette) and the `newGrid()` primitives every room is painted with.
+  **Voltage stays IN venueMap** rather than moving to `layouts/` — the new rooms
+  import primitives from it, and a `layouts/voltage.ts` would close an import
+  cycle for no benefit.
+- Three new rooms in `src/scenes/floor/layouts/`, authored in parallel against a
+  written brief: **The Royal** (horseshoe public bar you work from inside, pool
+  room, pokies corner, trough + two cubicles, a beer garden that is plainly the
+  nicest room in the pub, and a DJ *corner* that is a folding table because this
+  pub never built a booth), **Elevate** (open-air rooftop — most of the grid is
+  `void` sky, the DJ is on an unwalled plinth, you arrive by lift so the entry is
+  a lobby), **ROOM** (concrete warehouse, pillars you path around, central booth,
+  loading-dock smoking area, twelve lights in the whole venue).
+- Per-venue **`palette`** gives each room its own materials without inventing
+  TileKinds — The Royal's floor is pub carpet, ROOM's is bare concrete, but both
+  are still `'floor'` to the sim, so pathing and every existing test are untouched.
+
+### 2. The station coordinates were Voltage's, and nothing said so
+`FloorDemoScene` had six module constants — `TAPS_SPOT`, `DECKS_SPOT`,
+`RACK_SPOT`, `DISH_SPOT`, `WATER_SPOT`, `TAPS_FRONT` — holding Voltage's tile
+coordinates. Fine with one room; at four, a hardcoded `(47,3)` puts the bar shift
+inside The Royal's pool room. `POSTS`/`PROBES` existed for exactly this and were
+never wired to anything. Now each layout names its own stations and the scene
+reads them from the layout.
+
+### 3. `tests/floor/layoutInvariants.ts` — the rulebook is executable
+Perimeter holds · every walkable tile reachable from the entry (cubicle
+interiors excepted, they are sealed on purpose) · anchors on walkable ground ·
+**posts not sealed** · probes have somewhere to stand · props on-grid · no staff
+prop on a post tile. **Proved against Voltage BEFORE the three new rooms were
+authored against it** — if the rulebook is wrong it is wrong on the known-good
+room first. Add a room, add it to `LAYOUTS`, it gets checked.
+
+### 4. What the review pass found — two of them mine
+Three independent reviewers checked each room against its brief. All three rooms
+genuinely distinct, no brief items missing, no blockers. But `FloorView` was
+still drawing two things at Voltage's coordinates, in the file the layout authors
+were told not to touch:
+- **Scan beams pivoted on a hardcoded `(38,23)`** — Voltage's mirror ball. In The
+  Royal that swept two beams across the empty middle of the pub, ~25 tiles from
+  that venue's dance floor. Now derived from the layout's own `discoball`; a
+  venue without one gets no beams, because the beams ARE the ball's light.
+- **The resident DJ stood at a hardcoded `(55.5, 22.5)`** — Voltage's booth, which
+  in The Royal is the middle of the bistro. Now placed from the venue's own gear
+  and stepped clear of `posts.decks`. The beat-bob had the same constant in it.
+- Elevate's **bartender stood on the exact tile the bar shift teleports you to** —
+  you would have played the shift from inside her. That is now an invariant.
+- Elevate's two **mirrors were both `poster3`** (the author raised it as a contract
+  request and stubbed it honestly). `mirror` and `graffiti` kinds added.
+
+### 5. Assets: 37 generated props → 86
+`tools/gen/`: `assets.py` is the manifest (one entry per sprite, prompt + ship
+size + rake + route), `run_batch.py` walks it, resumable, `--workers N`.
+**Cloudflare Workers AI first** (10k free neurons/day, resets 00:00 UTC) falling
+back to MODELBEAST `flux_local` automatically — the free tier was already spent
+when this session started, confirmed from Cloudflare's own error body rather than
+guessed, so the whole batch ran on the farm.
+
+**The mesh tier is the thing worth knowing.** TRELLIS's defaults
+(`1024_cascade` + 2048px metal PBR bake) cost 5–12 min each on a queue that runs
+ONE gpu job at a time — four hours for a 37-prop tileset. `mb.FAST_MESH`
+(`512` + `vertex` baker + 200k faces) lands in ~90s, and A/B'd at ship size the
+difference does not survive the downscale to 32px. Judge at ship size, as
+SPACES.md already said.
+
+### 6. Three concurrency bugs, all introduced by parallelising the batch
+Recorded because the serial version could not have had any of them:
+1. **`props_import.py` manifest was a read-modify-write.** Two imports finishing
+   together each read the same list and the second write dropped the first's
+   entry — which ships a prop that is on disk but absent from the manifest, so
+   the game renders a placeholder over perfectly good art. Now `flock`ed.
+   `tools/gen/rebuild_manifest.py` repairs a manifest from the directory.
+2. **`glb_to_sprite.py` wrote its Blender script to one shared path** and unlinked
+   it after — a finishing render deletes the script a starting one is about to
+   read. Now per-kind.
+3. **`mb._req` raised `SystemExit`**, which is a `BaseException`, so `except
+   Exception` in the worker threads did not catch it: one stray 401 during a poll
+   killed a 43-asset run after a single asset. Now a normal `MBError`, with
+   backoff on transient 401/429/5xx.
+
+### How to see it
+`npm run dev` → **`#floor:theRoyal`**, **`#floor:elevate`**, **`#floor:room`**
+(plain `#floor`/F is still Voltage). Or play: week 1 IS The Royal now.
+In Claude's preview pane the tab reports `document.hidden`, so drive frames by
+hand — `const b=performance.now(); for(let i=1;i<=900;i++) window.game.loop.step(b+i*16.67)`
+— and note the world only builds after the loader finishes 86 textures, which
+needs real wall-clock time, not more `loop.step` calls.
+
+### Broke / known-wonky
+- **ROOM's barkeep stands in a one-tile-wide service lane**, so the player walks
+  through him during a bar shift. Inherent to props-as-set-dressing in a lane
+  that narrow; not on a post tile, so the invariant passes. A bar with no
+  bartender looked worse.
+- Reviewers noted **The Royal's central floor is sparse** (~500 walkable tiles,
+  four props) and **ROOM's east hall has no lights or anchors** (~23% of its
+  interior). Both are consistent with their briefs — the pub's dance floor is
+  meant to be an afterthought, ROOM is meant to be hard to navigate — but a
+  future pass could furnish them.
+- ROOM's sodium signature (`0xe08420`) differs from bar amber (`0xd8a020`) only
+  in the green channel; under additive glow they are close. Deliberate but worth
+  an eye.
+- `picnicTable` failed once mid-batch on a farm-side `404 no such job`; retried
+  clean. 86/86 kinds placed across the four venues have art — no placeholders.
+
+### Next session should
+- Furnish The Royal's middle and light ROOM's east hall.
+- Consider body-frames-under-outfits for patrons (ASSETS.md §2 / FABLE-SOLO-23) —
+  still the only patron-art path that does not blind the dress-code game.
+- Cloudflare's neurons reset daily; a batch started after 00:00 UTC gets ~150
+  free images before it ever touches the farm.
