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.
