Fix build break in the shoe tests: freshNightState takes (venueId, nightIndex, licensed)

vitest does not typecheck, so these passed under `npm test` while `npm run build`
failed. The gate is lint AND build AND test for exactly this reason — run it in
that order after touching tests, not before.

-  top-down sprite-sheet rotations for the Floor scene (Blender orthographic cam →

-  the doll contract's `floorTopDown` pose doesn't care which path wins.
+### 2. RIGROOM — the character × animation factory (surveyed 2026-07-19)
+**This supersedes the old "animation references" note. The fleet has a full
+character/animation pipeline, live and organised:**
+- **RIGROOM library** (`ultra:~/meshgod-backups/library`, 2.4 GB): **607
+  animation FBX** in themed packs + 59 character files. Web UI live at
+  `http://100.91.239.7:8010/rigroom` (characters × animations pairing, three.js
+  preview, instant Mixamo-ready FBX download). CLI:
+  `MESHGOD/scripts/rigroom.py classify|sort|scan`.
+- Clips that read like THIS game's shot list: `Searching_Pockets` (pat-down),
+  `Standing_Arguing` + a full boxing/knockout pack (floor fights),
+  `Shaking_Head_No` (the deny), `Inspecting`/`Looking_Around` (ID check),
+  `Leaning_Idle02_Smoking` (smoking area), dozens of idles/sits, dance packs,
+  `Brutal To Happy Walking`, zombie stagger (maggot walk), 12 DJ motions.
+  Raw source: `m3ultra:~/Documents/Rokoko_Free_Mocap_FBX_263` (606 FBX).
+- **Modular character kit** (`m3ultra:~/Documents/character_kit_modular`,
+  canonical `ultra:~/Documents/character_kit/modular/`): GODVERSE socket
+  standard — head/hands/feet/torso swap on one shared 65-bone `mixamorig:`
+  skeleton, 40 embedded actions, every library clip retargets for free.
+- **repose** (`m3ultra:~/Documents/repose`): photo → T-pose views (SD1.5 +
+  ControlNet, all-local) → MeshGod multi-view → autorig. A face becomes a
+  rigged character without leaving the tailnet.
+- **For NOT TONIGHT (v0.4 art pass), the pre-render path is now fully paved:**
+  modular kit character + RIGROOM clip → Blender orthographic top-down/front →
+  pixelate → sprite sheets behind the existing `renderDoll` poses. The outfit
+  variety could even come from kit part swaps. Same pipeline, one venue's
+  worth of NPC animation for free. Decide at v0.4; contracts don't move.
+- Also present, unsurveyed depth: `MOCAPGOD` (empty queue — service scaffold),
+  `mixamo_upload` staging, `MOTIONLIB` (2,703 FBX, ultra) still the deep pool.
+
+### 2b. procity (m3ultra) — the 90s-Aussie town sim
+Walkable procedural shopping town (three.js, no build step), built by lanes
+like ours. Pipeline: 186 GLB/FBX with fit/normalize/decimate tooling
+(`procity_fit_*` props: arcade cabinet, clothes racks, shelving), 21 peds.

+# NOT TONIGHT — Character, Scenario & Interaction Backlog
+
+*The idea shelf. Everything here obeys §4.3: choices cost something real, the
+game never grades them, and the humane option is never secretly optimal.
+Status: ✅ implemented · 🔜 next nibbles · 💡 backlog.*
+
+## Interactions & mini-systems
+
+- ✅ **The joint bust** (smoking yard). E on a smoker who smells herbal → three
+  verbs, none of them clean: **BIN IT** (by the book — write-up in the truth
+  log, smoker's night dampened), **POCKET IT** (the game's first corruption
+  verb — nothing happens now; maybe a Dazza sting later; and it sits in the
+  incident log waiting for the report form, where your account of it can be a
+  lie the audit remembers), **DIDN'T SEE IT** (the yard relaxes, vibe drifts
+  up… and it's still on the record as ignored). 'joint' is real contraband, so
+  it also turns up in pat-downs at the rope.
+- ✅ **The glassie run** (the glassie role's fantasy, previewed as a floor
+  task). A wire rack of glasses appears at the bar's east end; carry it the
+  length of the venue to the kitchen dishwasher. Crowd bumps and sharp turns
+  build WOBBLE; wobble breaks glasses one smash at a time. Deliver what
+  survives for vibe. Racks keep coming. The door is unattended while you do it
+  — Kayden is thrilled.
+- ✅ **ID passback detection** (2026-07-20): the same card twice in one night — the name on
+  the guest-list clipboard you already checked; second appearance of an
+  identical card = passback. Needs a "cards seen tonight" memory at the desk.
+- ✅ **Regular step-up lines** (2026-07-20) keyed off timesDeniedBefore ("back again. new
+  moustache. no hard feelings").
+- ✅ **Smoking-door slip-in** (2026-07-20) (FLOOR2 §2's second noStamp source).
+- ✅ **The 1:30 lockout** (2026-07-20) (deeply Queensland): after 1:30 AM, admissions are
+  ILLEGAL. The queue still forms; Dazza still wants bodies; every post-lockout
+  admit is a guaranteed strike risk vs a rioting line. A whole late-game phase
+  in one law.
+- ✅ **Vomit protocol** (2026-07-20): someone redecorates the dance floor → deploy the wet
+  floor sign (we own the prop) → slips if you dawdle; the glassie mop loop.
+- ✅ **Phone confiscation** (2026-07-20): someone filming on the dance floor — the
+  influencer's revenge arc.
+- ✅ **Water station duty** (2026-07-20) (RSA): press a cup on a `loose` patron; done right
+  it de-escalates the ripen timer. The humane tool that costs time.
+- ✅ **First aid** (2026-07-20): a fainter. Recovery position via a QTE that is deliberately
+  NOT funny; the room hushes; the night resumes changed.
+- ✅ **Kebab run** (2026-07-20): Dazza demands a kebab mid-slam. The shop is right there.
+  The queue can see you. The whole game in one errand.
+
+## Characters (door archetypes & scripted people)
+
+- ✅ **The off-duty cop** (2026-07-20) — flashes a badge at the rope. Real cop (deny freely,
+  he respects it; admit and he quietly reports the venue's breaches — a
+  walking inspector) or a $30 costume badge (the tells: hat, confidence,
+  wrong lanyard). The ID game's scariest bluff.
+- ✅ **The celebrity incognito** (2026-07-20) — cap + sunnies (two live rule breaches!).
+  Deny: nothing happens, ever, and Dazza never finds out who. Admit: vibe
+  rocket OR pap swarm outside (aggro storm). You cannot know which.
+- ✅ **The twins** (2026-07-20) — two people, one face, different names. Not a fake:
+  genuinely twins. Everything about the photo check is suddenly on trial.
+- ✅ **The sovereign citizen** (2026-07-20) — "I don't recognise your dress code as having
+  authority over my person." Aggro engine in a polo. His ID is a laminated
+  business card.
+- ✅ **The delivery rider** (2026-07-20) — insists the DJ ordered food. The DJ did not
+  order food. OR DID HE. (The booth lamp flickers hungrily.)
+- ✅ **The promoter** (2026-07-20) — arrives with a roll of wristbands and 'his' guest list
+  that doesn't match yours. Two clipboards enter, one leaves.
+- ✅ **The noise-complaint neighbour** (2026-07-20) — pyjamas, at the rope, at 1 AM, not
+  trying to get in: trying to get it turned DOWN. The only patron who wants
+  less club. Handle him badly and the inspector hears about it.
+- ✅ **The hen's party, lost** (2026-07-20) — seven matching sashes, wrong venue, right
+  energy. Admitting them is a vibe grenade with a random timer.
+- ✅ **The ex-doorman** (2026-07-20) — watches you work a patron, then tells you what you
+  missed (a live tutorial character; his tips are right ~80% of the time,
+  which is the joke).
+
+## Systems worth a whole phase
+
+- ✅ **Venue 4 / ROOM boss week** (2026-07-21, first cut): fourth rung on the
+  ladder (promotes from Elevate). No Dazza rule chronology — the board IS the
+  law and re-randomises every 15 in-game minutes (3 rules per window, seeded,
+  with a toast on the turn); every rope line renders as bracketed lip-read
+  guesses (`[FIST? LIST?]`) because the techno ate the dialogue. 60 licensed,
+  1.2 arrival scale, inspector working, crowd of heads and VIP-claimers.
+- ✅ **The DJ shift** (2026-07-20, first cut): E at the booth hands you the decks
+  while the resident steps out. B pulls the bass (the room leans in); SPACE
+  drops, judged against the LIVE bar line (clean/late/clang — early and late
+  are the same offence); requests arrive at the booth glass with per-request
+  odds ("got any dnb", nan's song, the DUN DUN one) and three answers that all
+  cost something. A build held too long runs out of stairs. Movement locks
+  while you hold them; the floor and the door keep happening without you.
+- ✅ **Bartender shift** (2026-07-21, first cut): E at the till hands you the
+  taps (movement locks; the floor keeps happening). Orders arrive as choices —
+  the order line degrades with the patron's stage (the spelling IS the sobriety
+  test) — SERVE / WATER / CUT OFF all legal, all priced. Serving messy/maggot
+  is the RSA breach: the vibe pays up front, and 35% of the time somebody with
+  a lanyard saw it (ONE deferred write-up per night, deduped by reason).

+# NOT TONIGHT — Spaces Plan
+
+*How the game's two spaces grow from readable-but-abstract into places, using the
+fleet's asset factories. Written 2026-07-20. Code contract: everything lands
+behind data tables (`venueMap.PROPS` / `LIGHTS`) and a sprite drop-in convention —
+generated art replaces placeholders with zero code changes.*
+
+## 1. Design principles
+
+1. **Darkness stays the mechanic.** Props read as silhouettes in ambient dark and
+   resolve under the torch. Nothing may make the room bright enough to scan from
+   the doorway.
+2. **Navigate by light signature.** Each zone owns a colour of light, so the
+   player orients by glow before geometry: bar = warm amber · dance floor =
+   pulsing pink (on the actual beat) · DJ booth = deep blue · toilets =
+   flickering green fluoro · smoking yard = cool rain-blue spill · entry/exit =
+   venue pink. The torch is white; UV is purple. No other light sources.
+3. **Props are data.** `PropDef { kind, tile pos, footprint, emissive? }` — the
+   renderer prefers a generated texture (`gen:prop:<kind>`) and falls back to a
+   procedural placeholder, so the game is complete TONIGHT and gets prettier as
+   art lands.
+4. **Spaces anticipate the role ladder** (design §6): the bar interior is laid
+   out for a future bartender shift, the DJ booth for the DJ shift, the glassie
+   station and smoking yard for floor loops that already have lanes speccing them.
+
+## 2. The venue floor (80×45 tiles, one room + pockets)

+
+Zone-by-zone (tile coords in `venueMap.ts`):
+
+| Zone | What's there (props) | Light signature | Future role hook |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Bar** (north run) | back-bar shelf (emissive), 3 beer taps, till, glass stacks | steady amber pools along the shelf | Bartender shift: the serving lane between bar tiles and shelf is already unwalkable-to-patrons |
+| **Dance floor** (centre) | 4 corner speaker stacks, disco ball (centre), floor grid cells | pink grid cells pulse ON `beat:tick`; ball throws a slow-rotating glint | DJ role reads crowd here |
+| **DJ booth** (east of dance, sealed box facing the floor) | 2 decks + mixer (from the 90sDJsim gear GLBs!), booth monitor, lamp | deep blue wash + VU flicker | The DJ shift's playable pocket |
+| **Booths** (south + east walls) | table per booth pair, candle | tiny warm candle pools | — |
+| **Dunnies** (NE walled room) | sink row + mirror on west wall, hand dryer | green fluoro, FLICKERS (torch almost redundant inside — deliberate) | — |
+| **Smoking yard** (SW walled pocket, open sky) | butt bin, milk crate seats, fence | cool blue outdoor spill + rain particles INSIDE the yard | FLOOR2's smoking loop (specced) |
+| **Entry corridor** (west) | poster wall (3 art slots — MODELBEAST posters!), cloakroom window, stamp podium | venue-pink spill from the door | UV re-entry checks happen here |
+| **Glassie station** (bar's west end alcove) | glass racks, tub trolley | dim amber | Glassie role's home base |
+
+Sim impact: walkability only changes where NEW walls go (DJ booth box, yard
+fence, sink row). All existing anchors keep working; reachability is asserted in
+tests. The yard gets a `smoke` anchor upgrade so wanderers actually go out for one.
+
+## 3. The door street (640×360 tableau)
+
+Already reads well. Two upgrades, both drop-in images (no layout change):
+1. **Backdrop plate** behind the existing rects: one wide pixel-art street wall
+   (brick, posters, grime) — swaps in as `gen:street:backdrop` when generated.
+2. **Kebab shop interior glow card** in its window + rotating poster art in two
+   street frames (same poster slots as the entry corridor).
+
+## 4. The sprite drop-in contract (how John's art lands)
+
+- Drop processed PNGs in **`public/props/`** named `<kind>.png` and list them in
+  **`public/props/manifest.json`** (`{"props": ["deck", "speaker", ...]}`).
+- The floor loads the manifest at boot; anything listed replaces its placeholder
+  (texture key `gen:prop:<kind>`). Missing = placeholder. No code changes.
+- **`tools/props_import.py`** (PIL, runs anywhere with python3+PIL — ultra has it)
+  takes raw generated images → target pixel size + palette quantise + transparent
+  background → writes `public/props/` + updates the manifest:
+  `python3 tools/props_import.py incoming/deck_raw.png deck`
+- Target sizes are in the script (`TARGETS`): hero props 48–64 px, furniture
+  24–32 px, small items 16 px. It refuses unknown kinds so typos can't ship.
+
+## 5. GENERATION QUEUE — John's list (in priority order)
+
+Pipelines: **[MB]** = MODELBEAST `flux_local` (params given) → drop raw output in
+`art_incoming/`, run the import script (or hand me the raws — either works).
+**[GLB]** = Blender ortho prerender of an existing fleet mesh (camera: orthographic,
+top-down 90° for floor props / front 0° for the street, transparent film, ~512px,
+neutral even lighting) → same import path.

+palette/density once.
