Dance registry — single source of truth for names
Every dance clip in the pipeline is tracked here. Numbers are never reused.
Naming system
Stage 1 — provisional (new dances). Every new take gets the next free nd##
number at conversion time, regardless of what the PC-side export was called:
pack/file nd08, clip ND08, dance JSON nd08.json. Variants keep the base id +
suffix: nd08_pp / ND08PP. The nd prefix means "not yet adopted — subject to
rename or archive". Never name a new dance after its content (a take called
"firedance1" turned out to be dance1's choreography — content-guessed names lie).
Stage 2 — adopted (chosen for a specific dance ceremony). Dance codes are named
after the ceremony the dance belongs to in the game: <ceremony><NN> — the
ceremony slug in lowercase ascii (no spaces/diacritics: powhiri, kapahaka, wero,
hulakahiko, hulaauana, sivaafi, …), a two-digit index for multiple dances within
the same ceremony, PascalCase clip. Examples: pack powhiri01 / clip Powhiri01,
variants powhiri01_pp / Powhiri01PP. A take is only renamed once Jeremy says which
ceremony it corresponds to. Rename with:
/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender --background --python tools/rename_clip.py -- \
--src exchange/<dir>/nd08.glb --out exchange/<dir>/haka01.glb --name Haka01
…then rename the dance JSON (+ its name and clip fields) in ariki-game, re-run
game.sh import, and git mv the old files out. Update the row below.
Archive. Rejected/superseded takes move to archive/ (this repo) and
archive/dances/ (ariki-game, .gdignored) — never deleted, never renamed.

Next free provisional number: nd01 (none issued yet — the five keepers predate the system and keep legacy names until adopted).
