The prop library was costing players more than it was worth. hunyuan3d
hands back ~120,000 triangles and 1024px textures per object, so a
COOKING POT was a 4MB download — and the fryer bench, which loads a pot,
a basket and a rack, made a phone fetch 13MB before it could show you
anything. Right after shipping touch controls, that is the wrong bill.
scripts/optimise-models.sh: simplify to 10% of the triangles with a
0.002 error bound, textures to 512. Across 51 models that is 214MB →
47MB, and at the distance this game frames anything, the before and
after screenshots are indistinguishable — I checked the pot at full
frame before trusting it on the rest. The fryer bench now costs under
3MB.
The script skips anything already under the threshold, so a second run
cannot grind an optimised mesh into mush; delete the file and re-run
gen-assets.sh to go back to an original.
Regression sweep after: toast scene pristine, grill 9.4, pan 8.0, steak
9.4, bruschetta 9.6, air fryer 9.5, chips 10.0, pasta 10.0, eggs 10.0.

The egg bench gets its real ceramic mixing bowl. Everything else in this
pass is subtraction, because a prop that fights the game is worse than
no prop:
- The generated tumbler renders OPAQUE, and that glass exists for one
reason: watching an egg sink, stand or float in it. A pretty glass you
cannot see through deletes the float test. Reverted to the see-through
cylinder.
- Six models (wire basket, raw/cooked wing, raw/golden chip, egg carton)
were shipping in the bundle unused — 27MB of dead weight served to
every player for nothing. Deleted, and their lines in gen-assets.sh
are commented with WHY they were rejected so nobody regenerates them
by reflex: per-piece food must tint per frame (colour is the verdict),
and the top-down rack must never occlude the wings.
Verified: eggs still 10.0 with the new bowl, float test still legible.
