jeremy c79d23549a feat(dances): convert baraka1 → nd_01 (+ nd_01_pp loop)
Retarget baraka1.fbx (iClone, 1800f@60) to nd_01.glb (clip ND01) and bake
the ping-pong loop variant nd_01_pp.glb (clip ND01PP). _pp passes loop_qc.py
(0.00 seam pose/velocity gap). Provisional id per registry; awaiting ceremony
assignment.

# Dance registry — single source of truth for names
Every dance clip in the pipeline is tracked here. **Numbers are never reused.**
## Naming system
Names follow the **game's item-id convention: lowercase snake_case** (like
`ceremonial_garb`, `dance_platform`, `war_challenge`).
**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 `nd_08`, clip `ND08`, dance JSON `nd_08.json`. Variants keep the base id +
suffix: `nd_08_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 the
**game ceremony** the dance belongs to — snake_case of the sim's `DanceType` enum
(`sim/arena/src/GameSystems.cs`) + a two-digit index for multiple takes per ceremony:
pack `war_dance_01`, clip `WarDance01` (PascalCase, matching the enum), dance JSON
`war_dance_01.json`, variants `war_dance_01_pp` / `WarDance01PP`. A take is only
renamed once Jeremy says which ceremony it corresponds to. Rename with:
```bash
/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.
**Loop rule.** Every adopted dance ships as a PAIR: the base clip (`war_dance_01`) plus its ping-pong loop variant (`war_dance_01_pp` / `WarDance01PP`, baked with `tools/pingpong_bake.py`, must pass `loop_qc.py`). No adoption is complete without the loop.
**Archive.** Rejected/superseded takes move to `archive/` (this repo) and
`archive/dances/` (ariki-game, `.gdignore`d) — never deleted, never renamed.

Next free provisional number: **nd_02** (nd_01 = baraka1, issued 2026-07-21).
## Boat actions (avatar action clips — direct names, no provisional stage)
Staging prop: `exchange/outgoing-props/boat/boat_prop.fbx` (built by
`tools/export_boat_prop.py`; see its README for iClone import + filming notes).
Cyclic clips (`*_loop`, `*_idle`) must pass `loop_qc.py` before shipping; one-shots
(dive/climb/collect) keep their pelvis translation (game moves the avatar).
| action code | clip | status | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `boat_dive` | `BoatDive` | awaiting take | airborne — hand-key/ActorCore or takeoff-only filming |
| `boat_climb` | `BoatClimb` | awaiting take | film over ~0.65 m proxy; Reach-target cleanup |
| `boat_collect` | `BoatCollect` | awaiting take | kneel over gunwale, flotsam grab |
| `boat_row_loop` | `BoatRowLoop` | awaiting take | helm, stern-oar sweep ±18° |
| `boat_fish_loop` | `BoatFishLoop` | awaiting take | Seat_Fisher; coexists with kevin Fishing01_Loop |
| `boat_sail_idle` | `BoatSailIdle` | awaiting take | sway/line-hauling loop |
