Build Vesperfall Review Assets

Build Vesperfall Review Assets

Create one reviewable asset pair without confusing catalog media, imported files, procedural factories, and future contracts.

Workflow

1. Inspect repository truth before choosing a model path.
   • Locate shipped PNG, FBX, GLB, textures, runtime factories, and declared-but-missing paths.
   • Prefer a shipped FBX/GLB when it is the actual runtime source.
   • Use $img2threejs only when reconstructing from an image in code. Never relabel imported geometry as img2threejs.
   • Do not claim a GLB or texture exists because code declares a future URL.
2. Produce the transparent catalog reference.
   • Reuse or derive from the production portrait when it already matches the asset identity.
   • Normalize catalog copies to 512×512 RGBA unless the project contract says otherwise.
   • Keep transparent corners and avoid baked floor, halo, or shadow.
   • Store project-bound output under public/asset-catalog/<category>/.
3. Build the live model preview.
   • Put loading/model construction in a small asset-specific module.
   • Preserve runtime provenance in userData: source paths or factory, action count, sockets, and review-only status.
   • Attach equipment to named sockets. Keep materials, renderer, mixers, events, and animation frames disposable.
   • Frame from measured bounds. Ground from foot/contact geometry, not the lowest weapon tip.
4. Pair the catalog surfaces.
   • Card/grid: transparent PNG only, with no canvas.
   • Selected inspector: one live model canvas plus truthful format label.
   • Add a button to an isolated preview or moveset route.
   • Keep fallback media visible until WebGL/model loading is ready.
5. Build the isolated review route.
   • Expose the real action library when clips exist.
   • Provide restart, pause/play, action selection, drag rotation, source paths, and provenance.
   • For procedural motions, mark runtime, contract, and candidate actions separately.
6. Validate before committing.
   • Run scripts/validate_pair.py <png> <model-source>.
   • Add inventory tests for exact paths, RGBA dimensions, preview kind, and route.
   • Test every motion/contact point deterministically when grounding changes with animation.
   • Run build, lint, full tests, and git diff --check.
   • Use the Codex in-app browser only. Verify desktop and mobile, card PNG/no canvas, inspector model/one canvas, preview navigation, grounding, scroll, overflow, broken media, and console warnings/errors.
7. Commit the narrow task and hand off its exact SHA before deployment reconciliation.

Read references/catalog-contract.md when changing catalog types, provenance language, or review-route behavior.

Required reporting

Report:

• PNG path, dimensions, and alpha status
• model source or procedural factory
• whether the model is imported, runtime procedural, or review-only reconstruction
• preview route and available actions
• test/build/browser proof
• exact commit SHA
