-- **Eyebrows.** Lena's ship path deletes painted brows from the albedo and attaches a
-  generated skinned surface built from a *locked UV-space mask*
-  (`tools/generate_lena_brow_surface.py`), coloured by the hair swatch. The mask, the browless
-  albedo and the surface JSON are **atlas-bound** — Lena's v02 re-atlas invalidates all three
-  at once, and they must be regenerated in the same stage that finalizes the atlas.
-  There is also a live-but-superseded mask-tint path (`shaders/character_brow.gdshader`) that
-  recolors a painted brow in place — 72 % replace, not a multiply. That one generalizes to a
-  scanned face; the cover path does not, because you cannot erase raised scan geometry with a
-  texture. Mako has `AttachFacialFeatures = false` and therefore no brow colour at all.
+- **Eyebrows — the whole 3D lane was reverted on 2026-08-12.** Ozan removed the mesh brows,
+  the lash cards and the browless-face swap from the product path: brows are **painted on the
+  body texture** again and keep their baked colour. That retires, for now, the generated
+  surface (`tools/generate_lena_brow_surface.py`), the locked BLUE mask, the browless albedo,
+  and "brows follow the hair swatch". The tooling and the wiki page remain, so read the code
+  before the docs on this one.
+  Two consequences survive the revert. First, painted brows are **atlas-bound**, so Lena's v02
+  re-atlas still has to carry the brow pigment correctly — the difference is that it now rides
+  in the albedo rather than in three separate artifacts. Second, the mask-tint path
+  (`shaders/character_brow.gdshader`, 72 % replace, not a multiply) is still live code and is
+  still the only mechanism that could recolour a brow on a scanned face — you cannot erase
+  raised scan geometry with a texture. Mako has `AttachFacialFeatures = false`, so his brows
+  are his scan's and are not editable at all.
 - **Eye colour.** `ApplyEyeColorByIndex` swaps the whole albedo of the `OutfitSlot.Eyes` mesh
   between six baked iris PNGs. It needs a **separate mesh or primitive** — there is no other
   mechanism. Lena only has one because stock Quaternius eye spheres are laid over her painted
