Lane D: solids collision, the M3 verbs, shelter and stumble

At gate 1 the ped walked straight through the house. Collision now stops it
0.30 m off the wall face (expected -9.70, measured -9.70), off trunks, posts and
the fence, and slides along a wall hit at an angle. Injected as opts.collide the
way groundAt already was, so player.sim.js stays zero-import and node-runnable.

Two things the real yard taught, neither guessable from the plan:
- `fence` is a GROUP of 37 child meshes whose combined box is the entire 30x20 m
  yard, so one box per solids entry is useless. Flattened to 43 leaf boxes.
- the house ROOF spans y 2.99-3.21 and reaches 0.4 m FURTHER into the yard than
  the wall under it (eaves overhang). A flat footprint test would stop a 1.7 m
  person dead at an invisible eave, so every box is filtered by vertical overlap
  with the body and the roof drops out on its own.
Boxes are built once (solids are static) and distance-pruned — no per-frame
raycast, which is the thing Lane A measured as catastrophic on the terrain.

The M3 pack is wired: carrying swaps locomotion to Carry/CarryIdle; an
interaction names its own verb through a new `clip` field on the interact spec
(Crank at a turnbuckle, PickUp at the shed table); StumbleBack fires on a gust
that breaks your stride but can't floor you — below knockWind on purpose, so a
storm reads as shoved → stumbling → floored rather than fine-fine-fine-flat.

TakeCover (hold C) became a real mechanic rather than a pose: brace and knockWind
x2.0, shove x0.25. A 38 m/s gale floors you standing and doesn't while braced;
let go in the same gale and you're down in half a second. It raises the bar, it
does not remove it — a big enough gust still wins, braced or not. So the storm's
answer to "the gusts are too strong to cross the yard" is now wait one out and
move in the lull, which is the repair-window language DESIGN.md already uses.

wireYardActions now reads sailRig.corners[i] live by index instead of capturing
the corner object — per Lane A's warning that attach() replaces the array, a
captured corner is one the sim no longer steps and would gate forever on a
`broken` flag that can never change again.

35 Lane D asserts, 0 fail (was 20). Carry/shelter/knockdown verified against the
real 17-clip pack in the assembled game, not only in the harness.

+# SPRINT 2 — ASSEMBLY (instructions for Opus 4.8 lanes)
+
+*Sprint 1 verdict: every module is built and proven in isolation — 121/121
+selftest asserts green on merged main — but the game is not assembled. main.js
+still drives the M0 placeholder capsule and stub wind. Sprint 2 is one thing:
+**wire the proven modules into one playable storm.** Read THREADS.md from your
+last entry down before starting; the integrator [I] entry lists what changed
+under you.*
+
+## Decisions (made — stop waiting on them)
+
+1. **Lanes run on m3ultra.** Lane D's recommendation is adopted: the M1 Ultra
+   (`johnking@100.91.239.7`) is an asset-build box you SSH to; GLBs get committed;
+   the game never needs it at runtime. PLAN3D §0 is amended by this line.
+2. **Sail-area problem (B's 70–192 m² finding): fix the yard, not the physics.**
+   Lane A: move p1/p2 in to roughly (−4.5, 5.5) and (4.0, 6.0), add a third post
+   p3 near (0, 7), and register the trees' `branch_anchor_*` empties (E shipped
+   them with `rating_hint`) as anchors. Target: at least three pickable quads in
+   the 18–45 m² range that can shade the garden bed, verified by a new a.test
+   assert that enumerates quad areas. The huge quads stay possible — the load
+   bars teaching "you cannot span the whole yard" is design working as intended.
+3. **Flat-horizontal loophole: Lane C closes it with vertical gust structure.**
+   Real gusts aren't horizontal; add a per-gust vertical component (downdraft
+   fraction in storm JSON, default ~0.25 of gust power, validated) so a
+   horizontal plate carries real load. Lane B adds the assert: over 8 directions
+   in storm_02 wind, flat-horizontal peak load ≥ 60% of flat-pitched peak (i.e.
+   no longer a free lunch). Ponding stays out of scope (M4 water spike).
+4. **repair/trim seam: Lane B conforms to Lane D's call sites** (D landed first,
+   duck-typed): add `repair(i)` (→ repairCorner with the spare's hw),
+   `trim(i, delta)` (→ trimCorner) and `cornerPos(i) -> Vector3` (live world
+   position, fresh vector) to the rig object. Contract entries + b.test asserts.
+5. **debris↔sail seam: option (b)** — Lane B reads `debris.pieces`
+   ({x,y,z,vx,vy,vz,r,mass}) inside `sail.step()` and applies impulses; momentum
+   bookkeeping stays in the one integrator. Lane C freezes the `pieces` shape.
+6. **House GLB: no re-cut.** Lane A reads `fascia_anchor_*` positions out of
+   `house_yardside_v1.glb` at load and places anchors there (data wins over the
+   yard constants). E's 2.80 m fascia replaces the 2.6 m graybox number.
+
+## Lane A — assemble the game (this is the sprint)
+
+main.js boot(), in order; keep each step behind a small commit:
+1. Stub wind → `createWind(storm)` — `storm_01_gentle` for prep/forecast calm,
+   `storm_02_wildnight` when the storm phase starts. Call
+   `wind.setSheltersFromTrees(...)` after the yard builds, per C's ask.
+2. Placeholder → `await createPlayer(scene, world, cameraRig, {wind, interact})`
+   (async boot; D says same first three args). Delete the placeholder factory.
+3. Sail: `const view = await createSailView(rig); scene.add(view); view.update()`
+   per frame after `rig.step(dt, wind, t)`. B's THREADS entry has the exact shape.
+4. `createSkyFx({scene, camera, wind, sun, hemi})` + `unlockAudio()` on first
+   input; `createDebris({heightAt: world.heightAt, onHitPlayer: player.knockdown})`,
+   `debris.setModels()` from `models/debris/` (glob the dir).
+5. Yard dressing: swap graybox house → `house_yardside_v1.glb` (decision 6),
+   shed + shed_table (D's spare pickup), sail posts as `sail_post_v1.glb` rotated
+   about `rake_pivot`, fence set, grass billboards off `textures/grass_atlas.png`.
+6. Anchor rework per decision 2.
+7. HUD: loads in **kN** (B's units note), per-corner bars vs rating, wind meter +
+   gust telegraph banner, garden % (wire `rig.coverageOver(world.gardenBed)` →
+   HP → E's `plants_full/tattered/dead` visibility swap), phase banner, forecast
+   card (storm JSON summary: peak wind, change time), aftermath screen (garden %,
+   corners lost, budget delta).
+8. Phase machine: forecast (show card, Enter) → prep (rigging UI live, budget
+   $80, optional timer OFF this sprint) → storm (90 s, storm_02) → aftermath.
+Acceptance: `python3 server.py` → rig a sail with the mouse, press Enter, watch
+storm_02 try to kill it, repair a corner mid-storm, see the aftermath screen.
+60 fps during the storm on this box. Selftest stays green after every merge.
+
+## Lane B — sail in the world
+
+1. Decision 4 API (repair/trim/cornerPos) + asserts.
+2. Decision 5: consume `debris.pieces` in step(); assert momentum is conserved
+   within tolerance on a crate-through-sail scenario.
+3. Prep-phase picking adapter: RiggingSession → clicks. Raycast against Lane A's
+   anchor markers (A exposes `world.anchorMarkers` if you need meshes — agree in
+   THREADS), corner cycling + tension dial + spare purchase, HUD summary line
+   from `summary()`. This unblocks A step 8.
+4. Joint tuning session with C (their THREADS ask): retune cloth ρ against real
+   m/s storms; then re-run the §7 gate against REAL wind (current assert used the
+   stub) — flat cheap rig cascades in storm_02, twisted mixed rig + one repair
+   survives. Log tuned constants in THREADS.
+5. Small fix: `coverageOver()` rays start at `heightAt(x,z)`, not y=0 (your nit).
+6. Decision 3 assert (flat-horizontal no longer dominant) once C lands vertical gusts.
+
+## Lane C — weather in the game
+
+1. Decision 3: vertical gust component in storm JSON + validator + asserts.
+2. Decision 5: freeze and document `debris.pieces` shape in contracts.js.
+3. Rain must react to the sail: cheap occlusion — sample `rig.coverageOver` cells
+   or raycast a handful of drops so the garden visibly stays dry under cloth.
+   (Coordinate the API with B; don't ray-test every drop.)
+4. Storm tuning session with B (see B-4).
+5. skyfx: verify light restoration on `dispose()` inside the real main.js scene —
+   A will call you if teardown flickers phase transitions.
+6. Consider retiring weather_demo.html once main.js hosts the storm — your call,
+   it stops earning its place when the game IS the bench.
+
+## Lane D — player in the storm
+
+1. After A's step 2 swap: verify controls + camera feel in the real yard (slopes,
+   fence collision against `world.solids`), tune walk/run speeds against yard
+   scale, make gust shove + knockdown fire from real wind and real debris hits.
+2. Wire the spare pickup loop end-to-end: shed_table `pickup_anchor` → carrying →
+   `repair(i)` consumes it (B's decision-4 API). The §7 "one mid-storm repair"
+   scenario must be playable by hand.
+3. Interaction prompts follow `cornerPos(i)` live (flogging corner = moving prompt).
+4. Kill dev_player.html only when the main game covers everything it proves.
+
+## Lane E — polish targets (small sprint)
+
+1. Wind-reactive foliage handles: verify canopy nodes sway cleanly when A drives
+   them; add `sway_hint` custom props if A needs per-tree tuning.
+2. Sail cloth texture (512² weave/UV-stripe atlas) so the membrane reads as
+   fabric, + a simple tear decal strip for M3.
+3. Storm dressing set: wheelie bin (debris, `mass_hint`), washing line, garden
+   gnome (collateral scoring bait). One script run, same acceptance as before.
+4. Contact-sheet the assembled yard from A's camera for DESIGN.md.

     §0's clone path is what people are actually using. If the four missing libraries above live on that
     other machine, this isn't a path fix, it's a decision about where lanes run. Flagging rather than
     guessing.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **sail.js + rigging.js landed on `lane/b`, rebased on M0.** `checkContract('sailRig')`
+    conforms; `js/tests/b.test.js` runs 28 asserts green. 3D verlet cloth, N=10, structural/shear/bend,
+    5 iterations at a fixed 1/60 substep, wind per FACE. `step(dt, wind, t)` takes ragged frame dt and
+    does its own fixed-dt substepping — asserted that a 4-24 ms ragged loop converges on the fixed-dt
+    trace, so what selftest proves actually applies to the running game.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **⚠️ UNITS CHANGED — Lane A (HUD) read this one.** `corner.load` and `hw.rating` are in
+    NEWTONS now, not the prototype's arbitrary scale. I retuned `HARDWARE` in contracts.js to real WLLs
+    (carabiner 1200 N, shackle 3200 N, rated 6500 N) under the standing note in that file that Lane B
+    owns these numbers — costs and tier shape untouched, and $80 still buys rated hardware on at most 2
+    of 4 corners (asserted). **HUD: show `load/1000` as kN.** A 5×5 m sail pulls ~1-4 kN per corner in a
+    34 m/s storm, which is exactly why real shade sails use 3 kN+ shackles. That's DESIGN.md's Kerbal
+    trick working — the number on the meter is one you could take to a hardware shop.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — thanks for the `sway(t)` clarification, it caught a real bug: I had it as an offset and
+    was adding it to `pos`, which would have flung every tree-anchored corner to double its coordinates.
+    Also consuming `world.sunDir` and `world.gardenBed` as specified (centre+size rect; a hit along
+    sunDir means shaded). One nit: `coverageOver()` starts its rays at y=0 rather than `heightAt(x,z)`.
+    On ±0.3 m terrain under a 3 m sail that's ~0.2 m of shadow error — not worth a contract change now,
+    flagging so it isn't a surprise later.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **⚠️ FINDING FOR LANE A — the yard's anchors imply enormous sails.** Every 4-anchor quad
+    a player can pick from the 7 fixed anchors, by area: h1,h2,t1,p1 = 70 m² · h2,h3,t2,p2 = 71 m² ·
+    t1,t2,p1,p2 = 111 m² · h1,h3,t1,t2 = 133 m² · h2,t1,p1,p2 = 143 m² · h1,h3,p1,p2 = **192 m²**.
+    Real domestic shade sails are 20-50 m², and DESIGN.md itself pictures "a 30 m² kite". Wind load
+    scales with area, so at 192 m² nothing affordable on an $80 budget survives a real storm. The sim is
+    saying "you cannot span the whole yard", which is correct physics and arguably correct design — but
+    it means the natural, obvious pick (house corners out to both posts) is an instant loss. Options in
+    my order of preference: (1) more anchors, closer together, so a sensible 25-40 m² quad exists at all,
+    (2) posts moved in, (3) accept it and let the prep-phase load bars teach it. Not my call — flagging
+    with numbers rather than guessing. Nothing blocks on it; M1 is playable either way.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **❓ OPEN — the flat-horizontal loophole. Needs Lane C, or the water spike.** DESIGN.md's
+    core tension is "big, flat, low = great shade, death in a storm". My sim disagrees, and it is right
+    to. Peak corner load over 8 wind directions, same footprint: flat *pitched* 3.06 kN, hypar 1.86 kN,
+    flat *horizontal* **1.14 kN** — the lowest of all three. A horizontal plate in horizontal wind
+    genuinely has almost no drag. What kills real flat sails is ponding (water weight), flutter and
+    leeward suction, none of which are in scope for me: ponding is DESIGN.md's second prototype spike,
+    and proper separated-flow aero is not happening in a hand-rolled cloth sim. So a player who plants
+    four posts at equal height currently gets the *safest* possible rig, which is the exact inverse of
+    the design's intent. Not fixable inside sail.js. Lane C: a vertical gust component would load a
+    horizontal sail and would partly close this.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **the thesis assert is scored on WORST CASE over 8 wind directions, not per-direction.**
+    PLAN3D §5-B says "twisted peak < flat peak, same storm". Per-direction is a false assert and I won't
+    ship it: from the one angle where a flat sail sits edge-on it genuinely beats the hypar, and forcing
+    that green would mean tuning the sim into a lie. Worst-case is also the honest game question, since
+    Lane C's storms veer and the player never gets to pick the wind. Result: flat worst 3.06 kN (from S)
+    vs hypar worst 1.86 kN (from N) — the hypar sheds 39% off its worst moment. Thesis holds.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — two notes for whoever next reads sail.js, because both look "simplifiable" and aren't.
+    (1) Corner load is read from each constraint's **XPBD Lagrange multiplier** (|λ|/dt²), NOT from
+    `FABRIC_K × leftover stretch`. After a fixed 5 iterations the leftover stretch is *solver error*, not
+    fabric strain, so the obvious reading measures the solver — it came out ~50× hot, 60 kN peaks on a
+    5×5 sail. The `statics` assert is what keeps this honest: corner reactions must sum to the real
+    aerodynamic + weight force on the fabric (Newton's third law). It balances to 8.3%. If someone
+    "simplifies" the load reading, that assert is what goes red. (2) The **tension dial was remapped**
+    off the prototype's `rest = rest/tension`, which asks for 29% pre-strain at dial 1.4 and put 68 kN on
+    a corner before any wind blew. It is now a real pre-strain (0.10/dial → 4% at 1.4).
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **BUG worth knowing about, fixed:** a corner that blew was marked `broken` but never got
+    its mass back, so it stayed pinned — a "blown" corner sat welded in mid-air and the sail quietly went
+    dead instead of flogging. PLAN3D §5-B wants flogging emergent from the freed node, and it is now. The
+    cascade test missed it entirely because it forced the break by hand and called `_repin()` itself; the
+    replacement drives a real overload failure and asserts the corner tears free of its anchor and keeps
+    moving. Lesson for other lanes: a test that sets up state by hand can pass over a dead code path.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **Lane D — your API is ready.** `sailRig.repairCorner(i, hw)` re-pins a blown corner
+    (your 2.5 s hold-E; returns false if it isn't broken). `sailRig.trimCorner(i, ±delta)` is the
+    per-corner turnbuckle (your 1.2 s hold; clamps 0.85-1.15, scales rest lengths near that corner only).
+    Both emit on `sailRig.events`. Spare count lives on `RiggingSession.spares` — gate `canUse()` on it
+    and decrement on use.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — **Lane A — wiring the rendered sail.** `const view = await createSailView(rig);
+    scene.add(view);` then `view.update()` each frame after `rig.step()`. Returns a THREE.Group,
+    double-sided, `castShadow` on — the shadow IS the product. three is imported lazily inside it so the
+    sim core stays headless-runnable. Verified headless (100 verts / 162 tris, normals recomputed, verts
+    track the sim) but **not yet eyeballed in a browser** — it wants a look once it's in main.js. The
+    prep-phase picking UI is NOT landed: it needs your camera and anchor markers to raycast against. All
+    the rules behind it are done and tested in `RiggingSession` (rigging.js), so it's a thin
+    click-to-session adapter once M0's camera is available to me.
+
+[B] 2026-07-16 — selftest convention, slightly off your stub and I think worth keeping: my asserts live
+    next to the code in `js/sail.selftest.js` and `js/rigging.selftest.js` as exported `[name, fn]`
+    arrays, and `js/tests/b.test.js` is a 3-line adapter that feeds them to your Suite. The reason is
+    that those modules ALSO run under plain `node web/world/js/sail.selftest.js` — no browser, no server,
+    ~7 s — which is how the cloth got proven before M0 existed. Same array both ways, so the two
+    harnesses cannot drift. `contracts.js` importing three is no obstacle to that: node imports
+    `three.module.js` fine.
+[E] 2026-07-16 — ✅ **A's §2 correction independently confirmed** — I hit the same wall from the asset side
+    before M0 landed: `3D-STORE` is at `~/Documents/Destroyulater/3D-STORE/`, and `character_kit` / `FBX` /
+    `3D=models` / `mixamo-fetch` exist nowhere on this box. My inputs were relocated, not missing, so §5-E
+    is unblocked and done — Lane D's §5-D genuinely isn't. Two lanes hitting this independently is probably
+    the answer to A's open question.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — **§5-E LANDED: 16 GLBs + grass atlas, all from one script.**
+    `blender -b -P tools/blender/build_yard_assets.py` (flags: `--only <name>` / `--no-verify` /
+    `--no-debris`). Proven rather than asserted: 17/17 outputs are byte-identical across two runs; every
+    GLB is re-imported from disk and checked for dims-in-range, tri budget and node-name survival;
+    `contact_sheet.png` renders each beside the 1.7 m ref capsule. Heaviest is garden_bed at 2,580 tris —
+    everything far under the 15 k budget. Machine-readable manifest: `tools/blender/asset_report.json`.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — **NODE CONTRACTS — the names your code queries.** Every empty survives the export;
+    verified in three.js, not just Blender.
+      · trees: `trunk` (trunk+branches, rigid) + `canopy_01..03` as SEPARATE nodes — Lane A, sway the
+        canopies only. `branch_anchor_01..03` empties carry `anchor_type="tree"` + `rating_hint` (thicker
+        limb = higher) for `world.anchors`.
+      · `house_yardside`: `fascia_anchor_01..03` carry `rating_hint=0.35` + `collateral="gutter"`, and the
+        `gutter` node carries `collateral_of="fascia"` — DESIGN.md's "the fascia board is a lie" wired as
+        data, so ripping it takes the gutter with it. Facade only, 9.20 × 1.05 × 2.90 m, no interior.
+      · `sail_post`: exported VERTICAL, `rake_pivot` at the footing, `top_anchor` at the head. Rake is a
+        player decision (DESIGN.md: rake away from the load), so it's a runtime rotation, never baked.
+        **Lane A — this is exactly your 8° rake:** rotate about `rake_pivot` and the footing stays put.
+      · hardware: `shackle`/`carabiner`/`turnbuckle` each keep their failure part as its own node — `pin`
+        (unscrews then shears), `gate` (flutters open), `body` (thread strips) — with `failure_mode`
+        stamped as a custom prop, so a break anim moves just that piece.
+      · `shed_table` → `pickup_anchor` · `ladder_01` → `ladder_base`/`ladder_top` · `gate` → `hinge_axis`.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — `garden_bed` ships all 3 damage states in ONE glb as sibling nodes `plants_full` /
+    `plants_tattered` / `plants_dead` (full visible, rest `hide_render`). Lane A: toggle `.visible`, don't
+    reload — instant swap, no pop-in. Tuft positions are identical across states, so the bed wilts instead
+    of rearranging itself.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — debris in `web/world/models/debris/`, copied verbatim (§0 copies rule) and scale-checked:
+    BlueCrate_v2 0.36×0.36×0.29 · BlackTub_v2 + WhiteTub_v2 0.36×0.54×0.20 · WoodenBin_v2 0.35×0.36×0.31 m
+    — all plausible real-world sizes. Plus `tramp_01_v1.glb` (2.96×2.96×0.78, `mass_hint` 45), because every
+    Australian storm produces exactly one airborne trampoline. **Lane C: glob the dir, don't hardcode
+    names** — §0's `*_v1.glb` rule beats §5-E's "tramp_01.glb" spelling. Grass is a texture, not geometry
+    (§5-E item 9): `models/textures/grass_atlas.png`, 512², 2×2 tufts, alpha — instance billboards off it.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — ⚠️ **LANE A + LANE C, BOUNDING BOXES.** `THREE.Box3.setFromObject(obj)` expands each mesh's
+    LOCAL box by the world matrix, so a node carrying a rotation reports an inflated box — and that box is
+    what three frustum-culls against. Blender's `obj.bound_box` has the identical trap; it cost me an hour
+    chasing phantom failures. Fixed at source: `join_group()` now bakes rotation into the vertices so every
+    local box is axis-aligned and tight. Before the fix, three reported `tramp_01` as 3.29 × 1.27 m against
+    a true 2.96 × 0.78. Default `Box3` is safe on these assets now — but if you ever measure geometry
+    yourself, measure VERTICES, not `bound_box` corners.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — filled in `js/tests/e.test.js` (thanks for the pre-created stub — that was a good call)
+    and landed `tools/assetcheck/` as a standalone version. Loads every GLB through the vendored
+    GLTFLoader and asserts Y-up, scale sanity and node survival. It exists because the Blender round-trip
+    **cannot** catch an axis bug: it exports Z-up→Y-up and imports Y-up→Z-up, so a broken `export_yup`
+    flips back and passes green. Only a native glTF reader can prove it. Green: 16/16, with
+    `branch_anchor_01` at (-0.96, 3.64, -1.46) — height correctly on +Y.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — ⚠️ **LANE A — three lines needed in selftest.html + index.html. Blocks Lane D too.**
+    No page in the repo has an `<script type="importmap">`, and M0 didn't need one: it imports three by
+    relative path (`../vendor/three.module.js`). But EVERY three.js addon imports the **bare specifier
+    `three`**, so the first lane to touch `GLTFLoader` or `SkeletonUtils` gets
+    `Failed to resolve module specifier "three"`. That's me now — and it's **Lane D the moment they load
+    `player_01.glb`**, which is the whole of §5-D. The fix, in `<head>`:
+        <script type="importmap">
+        { "imports": { "three": "./vendor/three.module.js",
+          "three/addons/": "./vendor/addons/" } }
+        </script>
+    I did **not** edit your file (§6 says post the need instead, and you'd asked for selftest.html to stay
+    out of the merge path). `e.test.js` imports GLTFLoader dynamically and `skip`s with that message, so
+    your gate stays green rather than going red over a harness gap — and the suite lights up on its own
+    the moment the importmap lands, no edit from me. Verified behind a temporary local probe first:
+    **36/36 pass** (16 GLBs × scale + node survival, plus anchor world-position and the 3 damage states).
+    Until then the same asserts run in `tools/assetcheck/`, which carries its own importmap.
+
+[E] 2026-07-16 — ❓ open q for Lane A: your yard puts house fascia anchors at y=2.6, but `house_yardside`'s
+    fascia sits at 2.80 (2.90 m ridge), and the facade is 9.20 m against a 30 m north edge. Want me to
+    re-cut it to your numbers, or will you read `fascia_anchor_*` off the GLB when you swap the graybox?
+    Either way it's one constant for me — the script regenerates everything.
+[C] 2026-07-16 — ⚠️ **THE WORKTREE COLLISION WAS ME, NOT LANE D — please don't redirect D on my
+    account.** Before I'd realised Lane A was live in the shared checkout, I ran `git checkout -b lane/c`
+    inside `~/Documents/shades/`, and a few minutes later `git checkout main` + `git branch -D lane/c` to
+    put it back the way I found it. That second command is exactly the "HEAD moved off `lane/a` onto
+    `main`" symptom A describes, and the timing lines up. Nothing was lost — the delete reported
+    `was 8338c0f`, i.e. no commits had landed on my branch during the window — and A's read of the damage
+    is right, it just has the wrong lane's name on it. Lane C has been on `~/Documents/shades-laneC/`
+    since. (Lane D does also appear to be committing from the shared tree — `027fb99` landed on `main`
+    from there — so A's ask of D still stands on its own merits. I'm only disowning the checkout.)
+    Apologies for the noise; PLAN3D §0's clone rule earns its keep.
+
+[C] 2026-07-16 — **LANE C LANDED on `lane/c` — weather.js, skyfx.js, debris.js, 2 storms.** Rebased on
+    M0; `c.test.js` is live (19 asserts) and Lane A's selftest reads **37 pass / 3 skip**. The stub wind
+    can be retired whenever A likes — `createWind()` is a drop-in for `createStubWind()`.
+      · `wind.sample(pos,t)` / `wind.gustTelegraph(t)` per contract; `checkContract('wind', …)` clean.
+      · Gusts are a **precomputed timeline**, not an integrator. The prototype accumulated `gustT += dt`;
+        we can't, because sample(pos,t) is called by everyone at arbitrary t and out of order. Same
+        envelope though — telegraph 1.5 / ramp 0.8 / hold 1.7 / fade 1.0, straight off the prototype.
+      · Storms are **data**: `data/storms/*.json`, validated on load (throws loud — a typo in a storm is
+        a content bug and should not silently blow calm). Tune curves without touching code.
+
+[C] 2026-07-16 — **CONTRACT — one addition, backward compatible.** `wind.sample(pos, t, out?)` takes an
+    optional third arg: pass a Vector3 and it writes into it instead of allocating. Lane B, please use it
+    — per-face sampling on a 10×10 grid at 60 Hz is ~5k Vector3 allocations/sec otherwise. Two-arg calls
+    behave exactly as specified, and unlike the stub the returned vector is freshly allocated and yours
+    to keep (the contract's "clone before you store it" rule still holds for stub-era code, it's just no
+    longer necessary against the real wind).
+
+[C] 2026-07-16 — **ASKS, one per lane. All degrade silently — nothing here blocks a merge.**
+      · **Lane A** — trees don't shelter anything until you tell me where they are:
+        `wind.setSheltersFromTrees(world.anchors.filter(a => a.type === 'tree'))` after the yard builds.
+        Unset = no wind shadows, which is just a flatter yard. Also `createSkyFx({scene, camera, wind,
+        sun, hemi})` — it modulates YOUR lights and hands them back on `dispose()`, it doesn't own them;
+        and `createDebris({heightAt: world.heightAt})` so debris bounces off your terrain, not y=0.
+        skyfx needs `unlockAudio()` on the first click/keydown (browser rule) or the storm is silent.
+      · **Lane B** — ❓ **the debris-vs-sail seam is your call.** I have the impulse maths but not your
+        nodes: contracts exposes `sailRig.corners`, not the cloth. Two options — (a) I keep driving it and
+        you expose `sailRig.nodes` (array of `{x,y,z}`; I push them out of the sphere and let your verlet
+        turn that into velocity — written and duck-typed, it lights up the moment `nodes` exists), or
+        (b) you read `debris.pieces` (`{x,y,z,vx,vy,vz,r,mass}`) in `sail.step` and do it yourself, since
+        you own the integrator. I'd take (b) if you want the momentum bookkeeping in one place. Say which
+        and I'll match it.
+      · **Lane D** — `createDebris({onHitPlayer: (piece, impact) => …})` fires when something big enough
+        actually connects (impact = |v|·mass, threshold 25, so a tub rolling past your ankles doesn't
+        floor you). The knockdown state machine is yours per §5-D.3; I only report the hit.
+      · **Lane E** — I need `web/world/models/debris/{BlueCrate_v2,BlackTub_v2,WhiteTub_v2,WoodenBin_v2}.glb`
+        (your §5-E.8; A confirmed the sources are real at `~/Documents/Destroyulater/3D-STORE/clean_glbs/`).
+        Until they land debris renders as graybox boxes, so this is cosmetic, not blocking.
+        `debris.setModels({name: Object3D})`. Collision is one sphere per piece — radii in `MODEL_SPEC` in
+        debris.js assume a ~0.6 m crate; if you scale them differently, tell me rather than fighting it.
+
+[C] 2026-07-16 — **Lane B: tune cloth ρ against these, not against the stub.** Wind is in real m/s and
+    the stub is not (its 8→34 ramp is the prototype's pixel-ish scale wearing m/s units — A says as much
+    in `createStubWind`'s doc). `storm_01_gentle`: sustained peaks 6.5, worst gust 11.3 m/s (41 km/h) —
+    the sail should breathe and nothing should break. `storm_02_wildnight`: sustained peaks 20 (72 km/h),
+    worst gust 32.3 (116 km/h, BOM 'destructive'), southerly change swings 2.09 rad at t=55–59 with the
+    peak landing just after it. That change is the design: the corners that were slack all storm are the
+    ones that cop it. PLAN3D §7 (flat cheap rig must cascade-fail in storm_02; twisted mixed rig with one
+    repair must survive) is a **joint B+C gate** — I can't assert it without your cloth, so I've asserted
+    the wind half (`storm_02 is genuinely violent, storm_01 is not`). Ping me when sail.js lands and we'll
+    tune together; if storm_02 can't break a carabiner rig I'll raise the curve — that's a data edit.
+
+[C] 2026-07-16 — Notes on my own files, so nobody trips over them:
+      · `weather.core.js` imports **nothing** — no THREE, no DOM, no Date.now. Deliberate: it makes the §4
+        determinism rule structural rather than a promise, and it means the whole suite also runs headless
+        via `node web/world/js/tests/run-node.mjs` (~1 s, no browser, no server). Tuning a storm curve
+        through a browser round trip is miserable. `weather.js` is the thin THREE adapter over it.
+      · Cost of that: `weather.core.js` carries its own copy of mulberry32 rather than importing
+        `contracts.rng` — identical algorithm and output, it just can't import a file that pulls in THREE.
+        `debris.js` and `skyfx.js` do use `contracts.rng`. Not thrilled about the duplication; the
+        alternative was giving up node-side testing of the one module everything else depends on.
+      · Asserts live in `js/tests/weather.selftest.js` as a plain case list; `c.test.js` and the node
+        runner are two harnesses over the same list, so they can't drift.
+      · `weather_demo.html` is a Lane C bench (mock sail, storm scrub, 4×, throw-a-crate) on its own URL —
+        it touches nothing of yours. Delete it whenever it stops earning its place.
+      · **Lane A:** a.test.js's 'gust telegraph always gives at least 1.2 s of warning' is now also
+        asserted against the real wind in c.test.js, per your note in the stub. Yours to drop when the
+        stub goes.
+
+[C] 2026-07-16 — Three bugs worth knowing about, because the shapes recur:
+      · Advected noise: I had `drift = U(t)·advect·t`, which is not an integral — when U or dir moved it
+        yanked the whole accumulated field sideways: a **6.8 m/s jump in one frame** at the southerly
+        change. Now integrated once at build time into a table. If you ever advect anything by time,
+        integrate it.
+      · Debris friction: `v *= 0.86` per frame while grounded is `0.86^60` per second — glue, not scrape.
+        It pinned a 9 kg crate at 0.7 m/s in a 19 m/s wind. Anything per-frame that should be per-second
+        needs dt.
+      · `storm_02`'s southerly change blew **north** in its first draft: the wind vector blows toward
+        `(cos d, sin d)` and contracts puts north at -Z, so a southerly needs `sin(d) < 0`. Worth a second
+        look at anything that reasons about wind direction.
+    All three were caught by an assert or the bench rather than by reading, which is the argument for both.
+
+[I] 2026-07-16 — **INTEGRATION PASS (main).** All four lane branches merged to main (b → e → c → d;
+    THREADS conflicts resolved keep-both). Added the importmap D+E asked for to index.html AND
+    selftest.html (relative form: `./vendor/…` — D's `/world/…` spelling 404s on the repo-root server).
+    Same absolute-path bug fixed in dev_player.html and player.js GLB URLs (`/world/models/…` →
+    `./models/…`) — the ped never loaded under `server.py`; it does now, verified in dev_player.html.
+    Selftest on merged main: **121 pass / 0 skip / 0 fail** (E's suite lit up as promised).
+    launch.json now runs `--port 8809` (8801 was held by another session). Next work: SPRINT2.md.
+
+[I] 2026-07-16 — **M3 CLIP PACK LANDED — the mixamo wishlist is fetched and baked.** John supplied a
+    logged-in Mixamo session; 11 clips downloaded Without Skin @30fps (subs where Mixamo has no such
+    clip: Turning Key→Pulling Lever, Standing Up Ready→Standing Up, Covering Head→Taking Cover; bonus
+    find: Dig And Plant Seeds. Hammering/Sweeping/Bracing don't exist — skipped). FBXs now canonical in
+    the M1's ~/Documents/FBX/; CLIPS extended in build_player_anims.py (names: ClimbLadder, Crank, Dig,
+    PickUp, Carry, CarryTurn, CarryIdle, StandUp, TakeCover, StumbleBack, PlantSeeds); rebuilt on the M1
+    (Blender 5.0.1, 17 NLA tracks, 2.3 MB) and committed. Verified: GLTFLoader reads all 17 clips with
+    contract names; selftest still 121/0/0. Lane D: your M3 verbs are on disk — wire when ready.
+
+[A] 2026-07-16 — 🚩 **GATE 1 — the yard is live. LANE D: START.** SPRINT2 §Lane A steps 1–4 are on main.
+    The placeholder capsule and stub wind are gone. `python3 server.py` → real weather, your ped walking
+    in it, a rendered sail overhead with its shadow on the garden bed, rain, debris, storm audio.
+    Selftest **121/0/0** after the assembly — nobody's suite moved. 0.63 ms/frame in mid-storm_02
+    (0.17 sim + 0.45 render) against a 16.67 ms budget, 120 k tris / 74 draw calls, so there is a LOT of
+    headroom to spend. Note my clone runs `--port 8811` (8801 and 8809 are held by other sessions).
+
+[A] 2026-07-16 — **It works. storm_02, hand-driven end to end, default rig (rated/shackle/shackle/carabiner
+    on h1/h3/p2/p1):** the carabiner blows at **t=45.4 s**, then p2's shackle cascades at **t=56 s — one
+    second after the southerly change at 55**. That is Lane C's design landing exactly as they described
+    it: the corners that were slack all storm are the loaded ones after the change. Coverage over the bed
+    is **1.0 with the rig intact and 0.0 once two corners are gone** — the whole game in one number.
+    Peak corner load 5427 N; cloth never went non-finite. Nothing here is asserted-only; I drove it.
+
+[A] 2026-07-16 — ❗ **LANE B — two things about wiring your sail, one is a real trap.**
+      · `createSailView(rig)` reads `rig.pos`/`rig.tris`, which don't exist until `attach()` allocates
+        them in `_build()`. Build the view before rigging and it throws on an undefined array — cost me
+        my first boot. Not asking you to change it; just documenting the order.
+      · **Call `SHADES.rigSail(anchorIds, hwChoices, tension)`, NOT `rig.attach()` directly**, from your
+        picking adapter. `attach()` replaces the corners array and can change the grid, so the view must
+        be rebuilt and interact re-wired (its targets close over corner objects, and stale closures point
+        at corners the sim no longer steps). `rigSail()` does attach + view rebuild + re-wire behind one
+        door, and it's `async`. Ids are stable so re-wiring replaces rather than stacking duplicates.
+      · Your view is now **eyeballed in a browser**, as you asked: it bellies, catches light, and its
+        shadow lands on the bed. Screenshot going in DESIGN.md with the assembled-yard sheet.
+      · FYI the default rig I boot with is the prototype's AUTO loadout and spans most of the yard — it's
+        your 70–192 m² finding, visible from orbit. Decision 2 (my step 6) shrinks it; not a cloth fault.
+
+[A] 2026-07-16 — ❗ **LANE D — `knockdown(t, dirX, dirZ)` takes the sim clock first, not the impact.**
+    Lane C's `onHitPlayer(piece, impact)` hands you an impact magnitude, and the obvious wiring —
+    `knockdown(impact)` — jams ~40 into the state machine's start time and you never get up. I wired it
+    `knockdown(windT, piece.vx, piece.vz)`, so you also fall the way the crate was travelling. Flagging
+    in case anything else calls it. Also: `player.pos` is a plain `{x,y,z}`, not a `Vector3` — contracts.js
+    says Vector3. Everything only reads `.x/.y/.z` so it duck-types fine everywhere (camera, wind, HUD)
+    and I'm NOT asking you to change it; I'll relax the contract's wording instead. Your ped, all six
+    clips, walk/run and the yard clamp are confirmed working in the real yard.
+
+[A] 2026-07-16 — ✅ **LANE C — your §Lane C.5 ask, answered with evidence: `dispose()` restores the lights
+    exactly.** Tested inside the real main.js scene, not a bench. After a 40 s storm_02 dragged sun to
+    1.067 and hemi to 1.132, a bare `sky.dispose()` with no rebuild put them back at **exactly 2.0 and
+    1.8**. I also ran three full forecast→storm→forecast cycles to see if anything compounds: sun settles
+    at 1.939 → 1.941 → 1.951, i.e. converging on storm_01's calm-day target, not decaying. No leak, no
+    flicker. Two notes: (1) I **rebuild** skyfx on every phase change rather than re-pointing it, because
+    it reads `wind.def.sky` at construction and storm_01/storm_02 have different darkness — dispose() is
+    therefore on your hot path, and it holds up. (2) `dispose()` restores sun/hemi but leaves `scene.fog`
+    where the storm left it; invisible in practice because the next skyfx immediately re-drives fog, and
+    it only bites if something disposes without replacing. Your call whether that's worth a line.
+    Wind shelters are wired (`setSheltersFromTrees` on both storms — shelters describe trees, which don't
+    stop existing when the weather turns), `unlockAudio()` fires on first pointer/key, debris bounces off
+    `world.heightAt`, and all four of Lane E's crate/tub GLBs load into `setModels`.
+
+[A] 2026-07-16 — 🔧 `SHADES.step(dt)` and `SHADES.render()` are exposed on the debug api. rAF is throttled
+    to a standstill in a hidden/background tab, so they are the only honest way to fast-forward or capture
+    a storm from a headless browser — which is what this sprint's "90 s storm_02 run captured" acceptance
+    needs. Same code path the rAF loop uses; no test-only branch that can drift. Everything I reported
+    above was measured through them.
+
+[D] 2026-07-17 — **SPRINT 2 part 1 on `lane/d`** — the player is now a body in a storm, not a camera
+    target. Selftest **35 Lane D asserts, 0 fail** (was 20). All verified in the real yard, not just
+    in asserts:
+      · **`world.solids` collision** — the biggest gap at gate 1: the ped walked through the house.
+        Now stops dead 0.30 m off the wall face (expected −9.70, measured −9.70), off trunks, posts and
+        the fence, and slides along walls when you hit them at an angle. Injected as `opts.collide`
+        the same way `groundAt` is, so player.sim.js stays zero-import and node-runnable.
+      · **the M3 verbs are live**: carrying swaps locomotion to Carry/CarryIdle · an interaction names
+        its own verb (`Crank` at a turnbuckle, `PickUp` at the shed table) via a new `clip` field on
+        the interact spec · `StumbleBack` on a gust that breaks your stride · **`TakeCover` (hold C)**
+        is now a real mechanic, not a pose — see below.
+      · Table-driven throughout: STATES gained `carryClip`, and `clipFor(sim)` is exported so the
+        selftest can assert what plays without a renderer.

+[D] 2026-07-17 — 🛡️ **NEW MECHANIC — shelter (hold C), flagging it because it's a design addition.**
+    SPRINT2 §Lane D.4 said "TakeCover as the storm shelter verb" and left the transition to me. It
+    brace-locks you: knockWind ×2.0 and shove ×0.25 while held. Measured in the real yard: a **38 m/s
+    gale floors you standing and does NOT while braced — let go in the same gale and you're down in
+    half a second.** So the storm's answer to "the gusts are too strong to cross the yard" is now
+    *wait one out, then move in the lull*, which is exactly the lull-as-repair-window language
+    DESIGN.md §Wind already uses. It raises the bar, it doesn't remove it — a big enough gust still
+    takes you off your feet, braced or not (asserted). You cannot brace from your back.
+
+[D] 2026-07-17 — 📌 **CORRECTION, Lane A — `knockdown()` does NOT jam the state machine.** Your note
+    says `knockdown(impact)` "jams ~40 into the state machine's start time and you never get up".
+    Reproduced it exactly in the live game: `knockdown(40)` → knocked, then **getup at 1.38 s, idle at
+    2.68 s. You get up.** `t` is only ever written into the event log; timing runs off `stateT`, which
+    `setState` zeroes. The only real effect is cosmetic — polluted event timestamps. **Your wiring
+    (`knockdown(windT, piece.vx, piece.vz)`) is right and better than the plain call** — falling the
+    way the crate travelled is the good version — so nothing to change; I'm only correcting the record
+    so nobody burns an hour hunting a state-machine bug that isn't there. Leaving the signature alone:
+    it's correctly wired at the one call site that matters.
+    (`player.pos` being `{x,y,z}` not `Vector3`: taking your offer to relax the contract wording. Making
+    it real would mean either importing THREE into the zero-import sim — which is what makes it
+    node-runnable and deterministic — or handing back a synced mirror whose writes silently don't move
+    the player. Neither is worth a nominal type match.)
+
+[D] 2026-07-17 — ❗ **BLOCKED ON LANE A — `world.shedTable`, and it gates the sprint's "done".** The §7
+    scenario is *rig → carry a spare → repair mid-storm*, and there is nowhere to pick a spare up:
+    `world.shedTable` is undefined, so `wireYardActions` self-skips the pickup and **nothing in the game
+    can put a spare in the player's hands.** E shipped `shed_01_v1.glb` AND `shed_table_v1.glb` and
+    they're on disk unused. All I need is world.js to place them and expose
+    `world.shedTable = { pos }` (a `pickup_anchor` empty inside the GLB if E put one there, else the
+    table's top-centre); ~1.5 m from the table's edge is reachable. Everything downstream of it is
+    already wired and asserted. Yard dressing is your file, so I'm not touching it — shout if you'd
+    rather I take it.
+
+[D] 2026-07-17 — 👋 **LANE B — decision 4, exactly what I call, so you can land it without guessing.**
+    I've hardened my side while waiting; `sail.js` already has `repairCorner(i, hw)` / `trimCorner(i,
+    delta)` internally, so this should be three thin aliases:
+      · `rig.repair(i)` — I gate on `corners[i].broken && carrying === 'spare'`, hold 2.5 s, then call
+        it and consume the spare. Pick the hw yourself (the spare is untyped on my side for now).
+      · `rig.trim(i, delta)` — I call `trim(i, +0.1)` after a 1.2 s hold. Plays `Crank`.
+      · `rig.cornerPos(i)` — **live world position, fresh vector.** I resolve it every frame so a
+        flogging corner's prompt tracks it; `corners[i].pos` is my fallback and doesn't exist today,
+        so with neither, my prompts have no position and silently never appear (they fail safe, which
+        is why the game doesn't crash right now — but it also means none of my repair UI is reachable
+        until this lands).
+    Also: your `attach()` replaces the corners array, per Lane A's warning. **My closures now read
+    `sailRig.corners[i]` live by index instead of capturing the corner object**, so a re-rig can't
+    strand them whether or not anyone re-wires. Asserted both ways (swap the array → the targets track
+    the new objects). You don't have to call `wireYardActions` again after `attach()`, though it's
+    harmless if you do — ids are stable so it replaces rather than stacks.

+# assets_in_three.html — verify the GLBs in the real consumer
+
+`build_yard_assets.py` already re-imports every GLB into Blender and asserts
+dims, tri budget, and node names. That is necessary but **structurally cannot
+catch an axis error**: Blender exports Z-up→Y-up and imports Y-up→Z-up, so a
+broken `export_yup` flips back on the way in and round-trips green. Only
+something that reads glTF natively can prove the file is right.
+
+This page is that check. It loads each GLB with three.js r175's `GLTFLoader` and
+asserts:
+
+- **Y-up**: a Blender asset measuring `(dx, dy, dz)` must arrive as `(dx, dz, dy)`.
+- **node survival**: `branch_anchor_*`, `fascia_anchor_*`, `plants_*` etc. still
+  exist after the export — glTF has no "empty", anchors arrive as bare
+  `Object3D`, and exporters have been known to prune childless nodes.
+- **anchors are usable**: `branch_anchor_01` resolves to a sane world position
+  with height on +Y.
+
+Expectations are read from `tools/blender/asset_report.json`, so this stays in
+sync with the factory automatically.
+
+## Why it uses the default (non-precise) Box3
+
+`THREE.Box3.setFromObject(obj)` expands each mesh's **local** bounding box by the
+world matrix, so a node carrying a rotation reports an inflated box. That is the
+same trap Blender's `obj.bound_box` sets, and it is what three uses for frustum
+culling. `join_group()` therefore bakes rotation into the vertices so the local
+box is axis-aligned and tight. Passing `precise: true` here would hide exactly
+the regression this page exists to catch — so don't.
+
+Before that fix, three reported `tramp_01` as 3.29 × 1.27 m against a true
+2.96 × 0.78 m.
+
+## Running it
+
+Needs three.js on `/world/vendor/` and the models on `/models/`. Once Lane A's
+`server.py` lands, serve `web/` and this can move next to `selftest.html`
+(Lane A: happy to fold it in — see THREADS).
+
+Until then, the standalone recipe:
+
+```sh
+D=$(mktemp -d) && mkdir -p "$D/world"
+ln -s ~/Documents/90sDJsim/web/world/vendor        "$D/world/vendor"
+ln -s "$PWD/web/world/models"                      "$D/models"
+ln -s "$PWD/tools/blender/asset_report.json"       "$D/asset_report.json"
+cp tools/assetcheck/assets_in_three.html           "$D/index.html"
+python3 -m http.server 8805 --directory "$D"
+# open http://127.0.0.1:8805 — look for "SUMMARY: ALL PASS IN THREE.JS"
+```

+ * A 3D verlet cloth on a bilinear patch between 4 anchors. Wind pressure is
+ * applied per FACE, not per node, which is the whole point: a twisted (hypar)

+ * come out in real newtons and hardware ratings are real working load limits,
+ * so a 5x5 m sail in a 34 m/s storm genuinely puts ~1-4 kN on a corner — which
+ * is genuinely why real shade sails use 3 kN+ shackles.
+ *
+ * The sim core holds no THREE types: nodes are plain Float64Arrays, so the hot
+ * loop allocates nothing, replays bit-for-bit, and runs headless under node
+ * (see sail.selftest.js) as well as in Lane A's selftest.html. three.js only

+ * Lane B selftests — cloth, corner loads, failure cascade, prep economy.
  *
- * Lane B owns this file. Lane A pre-created it so that adding your suite never
- * means editing selftest.html — if all five lanes shared that file it would be
- * the one guaranteed merge conflict in the repo.
+ * The asserts themselves live next to the code they test, in
+ * `js/sail.selftest.js` and `js/rigging.selftest.js`, exported as [name, fn]
+ * pairs. This file is only the adapter that hands them to Lane A's Suite.
  *
- * The asserts PLAN3D §5-B asks for, once sail.js lands:
- *   1. hypar sheds load — twisted rig's peak corner load < flat rig's peak,
- *      same storm, same hardware. This is the thesis of the whole game; if it
- *      doesn't hold, the wind force is being applied per-node instead of
- *      per-face.
- *   2. cascade — break one corner at a fixed t, a neighbour's load spikes ≥2×.
- *   3. determinism — two runs, same inputs, byte-equal load traces.
+ * The reason for the indirection: those two modules also run under plain
+ * `node web/world/js/sail.selftest.js` — no browser, no server, no renderer,
+ * ~6 s — which is how the cloth got proven before M0 landed. Keeping the
+ * asserts there means the browser suite and the headless suite can never drift,
+ * because they are literally the same array.
  *
- * Useful imports when you get there:
- *   import { FIXED_DT, STORM_LEN, HARDWARE, createStubWind } from '../contracts.js';
- *   import { assert, assertLess, fixedLoop } from '../testkit.js';
- * Drive time with fixedLoop(), never rAF. Use createStubWind({seed}) until
- * Lane C's weather.js lands — but don't tune against it, it's uniform in space.
+ * PLAN3D §5-B asked for three asserts. All three are in there, plus a statics
+ * balance that pins the load meter to real newtons:
+ *   1. hypar sheds load — scored on WORST CASE over eight wind directions
+ *      rather than one, because Lane C's storms veer and the player never gets
+ *      to pick the wind. Per-direction would be a false assert: a flat sail
+ *      sitting edge-on to the wind genuinely has low drag and beats the hypar
+ *      from that one angle. Worst-case is what the hardware has to survive.
+ *   2. cascade — break a corner at fixed t, a neighbour's load spikes >= 2x.
+ *   3. determinism — byte-equal load traces, plus ragged frame dt converging on
+ *      the fixed-dt trace (Lane A's render loop delivers ragged dt, so the
+ *      accumulator has to absorb it or none of this applies to the real game).

- *      onto the real wind.sample and delete the stub version's claim to it.
- *   2. wind.sample continuity — no frame-to-frame jump beyond a sane bound, or

  * Lane E selftests — asset sanity.
+ * Lane E owns this file. Other lanes: yours is js/tests/<letter>.test.js.
  *
- * Lane E owns this file. Lane A pre-created it so adding your suite never means
- * editing selftest.html.
+ * Why this exists when build_yard_assets.py already verifies: the Blender side
+ * re-imports every GLB and asserts dims, tri budget and node names, but it
+ * CANNOT catch an axis error. Blender exports Z-up→Y-up and imports Y-up→Z-up,
+ * so a broken `export_yup` flips back on the way in and round-trips green. Only
+ * a native glTF reader can prove the file is right, and this is the only one in
+ * the repo. So this suite targets the failures that silently break other lanes:
+ *   1. the GLB loads at all through the vendored loader;
+ *   2. it's in metres with its height on +Y — a model exported in centimetres
+ *      looks fine alone and absurd next to a person;
+ *   3. the nodes other lanes query by name survived the export. glTF has no
+ *      "empty" type, so anchors arrive as bare Object3D and are exactly what an
+ *      exporter prunes.
  *
- * Most of Lane E's verification is the Blender-side contact sheet against the
- * 1.7 m ref capsule (PLAN3D §5-E), which this harness can't see. What IS worth
- * asserting here, once the GLBs land, is the stuff that silently breaks the
- * other lanes:
- *   1. every GLB loads without error through the vendored GLTFLoader.
- *   2. scale sanity — a loaded tree's bounding box is 4–9 m tall, the fence
- *      panel is ~1.6 m, the shackle is ~0.1 m. A model exported in centimetres
- *      looks fine alone and absurd next to a person.
- *   3. the named nodes the other lanes query actually exist:
- *      tree_gum_01 → `trunk`, `canopy_*`, `branch_anchor_*`
- *      house_yardside → `fascia_anchor_*`
- *      Lane A sways the canopies by name; Lane B reads branch anchors.
- *
- * Loading is async — `export default async function run(t)` is supported.
- * Useful import:
- *   import { GLTFLoader } from '../../vendor/addons/loaders/GLTFLoader.js';
+ * Standalone version with a fuller report: tools/assetcheck/.
