+# INBOX
+
+Drop zone for anyone sending files to Jeremy through this repo.
+
+Put whatever you're sending in here (FBX takes, textures, reference video, JSON, etc.),
+commit, and push. Jeremy will pull, triage, and move things into the proper pipeline
+folders (`incoming-fbx/`, etc.) from there.
+
+Notes:
+- Binary formats (`.fbx`, `.glb`, `.mp4`, `.task`) go through Git LFS automatically.
+- Don't reorganize other folders in `exchange/` — just drop your files here.
