Female voyager bandeau top from the fc-voyager-kilt-gpt refs. Winning
construction (md_final_v16/v23): seamless-loop doctrine -- NO edge elastic
(gathering is what notched the armpit junctions), body-snug cut, zero-g wrap
(SetSimulationGravity(0) BEFORE ResetClothArrangement -- one full-gravity
materialization tick drops the bistable tube into the low basin), stiff 40f
positioning then soft 110f conform, self-measuring retry loop.
Hard-won facts logged in the scripts: strapless garments never survive full
gravity (frictionless skin + stretchy elastic); arrangement x IS azimuth
(Body_Back_Center_1 native x=0, forcing 50/50 sews both panels into a front
pouch); SetArrangementOrientation flips panel facing but mirrors it L/R;
frozen cloth renders cyan; back panel textured face points at the skin --
fix is manual Flip Normal (no API).
Texture: positioned plait/rope/fringe tile spanning the 170mm panel once
(hem anchors at v=0.5 and wraps). manual_fit_backup.zprj preserves Can's
hand-fitted drape. Exports still pending final drape approval.

First male garment through the MD lane. MD's body analyzer rejects every
Tripo-Mako-derived mesh (0 arrangement points, 'avatar must be in T-pose or
A-pose' despite a verified 0.4-deg-perfect skeleton; same wall as ariki-game
e244e8a). Chimera test pins it on the MESH -- Lena's mesh on Mako's armature
gets 109 points. Ruled out: finger weights, decimation, head/hand chops, leg
spread, rename, OBJ import, export settings.
Workaround that ships: arrange+sew+elastic-lock the garment on a 1.07x-scaled
LENA donor, ImportFBX Mako with bAdd, DeleteAvatar(Lena), re-settle. A
seamless single-wrap slides off Mako's legs during the swap -- only SEWN
garments survive it, so the flat pattern's wrap reads are faked: overlap flap
seamed to a split front-waist segment, comb-teeth fringe (piupiu technique)
carved into the hem, rope belt as rigid Blender geometry (build_rope_belt.py).
Other findings baked into work/mako_kilt_v1/ scripts + config:
- fabric texture anchor: pattern y=0 maps to texture v=0.5 and WRAPS
(striped-probe verified; make_kilt_cloth.py mm_from_row)
- waist elastic never reaches TotalLength at default strength; strength 60
moved placement from 1.019 to 1.043
- SetAvatarActivation returns False (unusable); GetArrangementList dies on
any scene avatar mutation
QC PASS (turntable render, alpha mask, height 1.818): top 1.063 vs 1.054
target (tol .03), fringe tips 0.666 vs 0.665 (tol .04).
Avatars: _fingers = full finger weights restored via UV-space transfer from
rig-work/mako_fullhead_rigged.fbx (build_mako_avatar_fingers.py); shipped-body
avatar landed for future diagnosis. v1 (pre-flap/teeth) kept as provenance.

Lena with the leaf bikini sculpted into the mesh — a separate character
descending from her own Tripo original, not a lena_base_v02. Full-res
(1,029,360 v) at 1.777 m, now Ariki_Female_QuatSkin.glb + LOD1.
First nearest-surface graft in the rig lane: AccuRig had to be fed a 20:1
decimated bait, so the index-exact graft the two earlier ships used was
impossible. The bait recovers AccuRig's 9.346 mm offset in closed form, which
makes it a required input forever — copied into the ship folder, and rig-work's
"disposable" rule amended to say so. Mesh moved 0 mm, 0 unweighted verts.
lena_base_v01 goes superseded, not rolled-back: she lost the default slot but
Ariki_Female_QuatSkin_Nude.glb is untouched, so per rule 9 her folder stays put.
Also lands the leaf-cut lane (work/lena_leafbikini): hue-keyed seam detection
that removes the leaf shell and leaves both holes open by request, registered
as a lane milestone with its sha256. Corrects the rig-work trap note — baits do
carry embedded textures; it is AccuRig that strips them.

Decimated the leaf-bikini Lena ancestor to a 77,999-tri AccuRig-loadable FBX

and tri budget as lena_tripo_rigbait. Disposable skeleton carrier, never
shipped. QA renders confirm A-pose region cuts landed and fingers are distinct.

characters/work/lena/v02/ is 1,019 MB — 15 .blend snapshots of the same ~883k-vertex
mesh plus their .glb exports. working-files.md puts per-attempt .blend in the SCRATCH
tier, 'never committed': the NN_*.py recipes are the history and regenerate any of
them from masters/55_fullres_v02.blend, which is pinned and tracked. The lane already
reached 3.0 GB once, 2.2 GB of it .blend files, which is why the rule exists.

Marvelous Designer authoring sources for lena_hunter_skirt_v8 — the .zprj/.zpac are
hand-draped and no script regenerates them, so they are KEEP tier, not scratch — plus
the exported garment (fbx/obj/mtl), the colorway and cloth textures, and the QC
screenshots (front/back/presim) the drape was judged on.
tools/tailor/avatar/Mako_Fullhead_QuatSkin_Avatar.fbx is the MD avatar built from the
shipped male body. Worth landing even though it does not work yet: Mako's FBX imports
into MD but yields 0 arrangement points against Lena's 109, which blocks every male
garment. Having the exact file in-repo is the starting point for diagnosing that.
Mako lane intermediates (decimated fullhead, AccuRig glb, rigged blend) join their
recipes under work/mako.
All heavy files ride LFS (.glb/.blend/.fbx/.obj/.zprj/.zpac already in .gitattributes).

The v02 chain, which exists because bisecting the shard-eye defect proved it lives in
the hires MASTER rather than in any v02 step: the early heal chain ran whole-mesh welds
and reset custom split normals, and the eye/lash shells only read as an eye through
Tripo's authored normals. Every descendant inherits it, including the shipped body.
48_decimate_headsafe body/hands only, head bit-identical (feathered ramp)
49_seams_v02 24_seams with a density-aware hip landmark — the v01 rule fired
at u=0.610, mid-belly, on the head-protected vert count
50_seams_headuv body-only unwrap; the head KEEPS its original Tripo charts.
SLIM collapsed the undecimated lash/brow slivers to points and
ANGLE_BASED packed at half v01's texel density; the face was
the best-mapped region of the source atlas, so it is reused
51_reatlas_v02 31_reatlas + centroid splats for sub-texel triangles — the
skipped set IS the lashes, which rendered as grey glass
52_head_transplant the PRISTINE ORIGINAL head onto the decimated nude body
53_rig_transfer 54_crotch_refill
55_fullres_v02.blend is pinned in .lanekeep as THE archival master: full-res nude body
+ pristine original head, crotch refill and texture despeckle applied, 883,404 v /
1,761,640 f. It supersedes 34_v04 as the lane root (34_v04's head has the shard eyes).
Also: tools/graft_hands.py, the Marvelous Designer hunter-skirt configs v1-v8, the
hunter cloth texture generator, and Mako's measurement card.
Per .agents/rules/working-files.md the per-attempt .blend files under work/lena/v02
are SCRATCH ("never committed") — the .py recipes here are the history and regenerate
any of them from the pinned master. See the ignore rule landing next.

Merging origin/main in ariki-game surfaced a product decision newer than this doc:
Ozan removed the mesh brows, lash cards and browless-face swap from the product path.
Brows are painted on the body texture again and keep their baked colour, so "brows
follow the hair swatch" and the generated-surface lane are both parked.
The tooling and the brow wiki page still describe the 3D lane, so the note now says to
read the code before the docs there.
Two consequences outlive the revert and are kept: painted brows are still atlas-bound,
so the v02 re-atlas has to carry the pigment (an albedo-fidelity job now, not three
artifacts to regenerate); and character_brow.gdshader is still the only mechanism that
could recolour a brow on a scanned face, since raised scan geometry cannot be erased
with a texture.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ozan's hair system rebinds Quaternius styles (100% rigid to one Head bone) onto
whichever body loads, corrected by three hand-tuned constants in
CharacterBuildData.HeadFit. Those constants are only valid against the skull they
were tuned on, and nothing re-checks them when a body is rebaked. Both ship bodies
are currently wrong, in opposite directions.
tools/measure_head_shell.py:
--fit solve HeadScale/HairOffset from two cranium landmarks. A scale-about-
pivot plus a translate has exactly two degrees of freedom per axis, so
the crown + widest-cranium slice determine both outright -- no bed pass.
--sweep score every style against the clearance it was AUTHORED with on its own
stock rig (a mohawk stands proud, a beard hangs at the chin -- absolute
crown height is not the test).
default full Head-weighted shell AND the cranium band. The full shell is what
MakoHeadFit quotes; it is inflated several cm by jaw/ear/neck weight
bleed and is not the surface a cap sits on.
Measured against the shipped GLBs:
Lena cranium needs Y 0.960, carries 1.431 (+49%) -- every style floats 4.4-7.3cm
Mako cranium needs Y 1.186, carries 1.346 (+13%) -- every style sinks, buzz cut
2.2cm into his skull, moustache 8.0cm low
Solved constants take Mako to 0.00cm worst error over 10 styles, Lena to 0.29cm mean.
docs/characters/head-features-contract.md records the system, the measurements, and
what a 3-constant fit still cannot reach: Lena needs 1.613 in X but 1.311 in Z, a
23% anisotropy that stretches an authored cap sideways and drags ear cutouts along a
diagonal. That is Ozan's logged residual and wants a per-body geometry bake. Mako's
anisotropy is only 3%, so constants alone should suffice for him.
Also noted: the whole hair set shares just two base textures, so "authored per-colour
hair textures" -- the fix the wiki writes off in favour of the /0.55 swatch hack --
is 16 PNGs.
Crown placement is rest-pose arithmetic; X/Z and the in-bed look are unverified.

The HTML references screenshots relatively, so it only renders inside a
checkout -- mailing the file on its own gives broken images. The PDF is one
self-contained file, which is what actually gets sent to Ozlem.
- tools/humans_to_pdf.py: renders .humans/*.html via headless Chrome (or
Edge), so the output is what the browser shows. HTML stays the source.
- @media print block on the page: the wide tables and the pipeline diagram
scroll on screen but would be cut off at the paper edge; this reflows
them and keeps figures, callouts and table rows off page breaks.
Verified at A4 content width -- 6 pages, both screenshots embedded.
- *.pdf -> LFS. Each regeneration is a whole new ~2 MB blob, and unlike
png/jpg there are no PDFs tracked raw yet, so there is no history to
rewrite by adding it now.
Also corrects working-files.md: it claimed .gitattributes does not LFS-track
.blend, which was true when written and is no longer -- .blend/.zprj/.obj/
.npy/.npz have since been added. The note now covers what is actually still
excluded (png/jpg, deliberately) and why that makes QA renders scratch.

Bulk import of the working lanes that were living untracked on the PC.
Content:
- characters/ Lena/male body lanes, bakes, texture work, run logs
- clothing/ garment pipeline, configs, gates, contract docs
- garments/ MD-authored garment sources (.zprj/.zpac)
- UAL-Lib/ Universal Animation Library 2 source (.blend/.fbx/.glb)
- tools/ blender_bridge, iclone_bridge, md_bridge, tailor, glm_agent
- docs/, plans/, dev/, .agents/plans/
Repo hygiene:
- .gitattributes: LFS now covers .blend, .zprj, .zpac, .obj, .npy and the
Reallusion .iAvatar/.ccAvatar/.ccRestore containers. Without this the
~3.8 GB in this commit would land as raw blobs. .png/.jpg are left out
on purpose — ~250 are already tracked raw and converting them would
rewrite every one without shrinking history.
- .gitignore: exclude /accurig/ (~1 GB AccuRig program files, redistributable
from Reallusion, nothing authored here) and /dev/null/ (git-lfs hook copies
dropped by a `>/dev/null` redirect on Windows).

Two pieces of work.
1. Keep milestones, not steps. Staged NN_*.py lanes were saving a full
~80 MB .blend per attempt, so Lena's lane reached 3.0 GB of which 2.2 GB
was 30 .blend files -- five snapshots to land one crotch fix, five more
for the bra. The .py recipes are the real history; the blends are cache.
- .agents/rules/working-files.md: four-tier policy (KEEP / MASTER /
SCRATCH / UNKNOWN) + how to work a lane.
- tools/prune_lane.py: classifies a lane and prunes the scratch tier.
Dry-run by default. Reads a per-lane .lanekeep manifest, flags
binaries byte-identical to a registered original (canonical name
always survives a duplicate pair), and never auto-deletes a .blend
with no step script beside it -- those cannot be rebuilt.
- .gitignore: scratch patterns can never be committed.
Dry run on characters/female/lena_nude reports 2.3 GB reclaimable.
Not applied -- that lane had a live Blender session at the time.
2. .humans/marvelous-designer.html: how we author garments in Marvelous
Designer, written for people rather than agents -- the six-step process,
what has been made, the traps that cost hours, and what is still
unsolved. Matches the .humans/ HTML convention in ariki-game.
Also committing the docs the AGENTS.md knowledge map and the new page
reference, so they are not dangling: the clothing-lane architecture page,
the marvelous-designer skill, and the two screenshots the page embeds.
characters/ is deliberately untracked and stays that way -- it holds GBs of
blends and GLBs, and .gitattributes does not LFS-track .blend.
