+# THE PANTRY — pre-stocked models for future phases (2026-08-30)
+
+53 GLBs added to `public/assets/models/`, converted from the purchased asset
+library (quaternius Ultimate Food / Junk Food / Sushi Restaurant Kit / House
+Interior — CC0/paid-standard, web-clean, flat-color low-poly). Nothing
+references them yet; every scene keeps its graceful jar-fallback behaviour.
+They exist so the next atlas phase reaches for a prop and finds it already
+on the shelf. Full library: assetzoo `generated/converted/glb_food/` (342 pieces).
