+> complete. Human testing **not** authorized. **Do not merge.** Backend / M1 **not** authorized.
+> Manual deformation refinement still required.
+>
+> ```
+> Verdict: Incomplete checkpoint
+> Action:  Continue animation phase
+> ```
+
+## A. Repository
+- Base `2ef1bb1` (reviewed PR #6 head). Branch `fix/v0-animation-led-visual-correction`,
+  worktree `../Restaurant-AnimationCorrection`. Target: **DRAFT** PR → `fix/v0-visual-baseline-correction`.
+- Commits: `iter 01 base` → `iter 02 locomotion` → `iter 03 task language + integration` (one per loop).
+- PR #6, PR #4, and the M0 branches are untouched; nothing merged.
+
+## B. Tools
+Blender **5.2.0 LTS** (`/Applications/Blender.app/…`) · Godot **4.7.1-stable** (`~/.local/opt/godot/…`).
+Pipeline: `tools/blender/build_rig.py` → rigged GLB (`export_skins`, `export_animations`,
+`export_animation_mode=ACTIONS`) → Godot Skeleton3D + AnimationPlayer. Reproduce:
+`blender --background --python tools/blender/build_rig.py -- --out visual/RestaurantVisualSandbox/assets/generated --clips Idle,Walk,WalkStop,Carry,Cook,Sit,Wipe`.
+
+## C. What was proven (the review's Blocker resolved)
+The PR #6 review's **Blocker** was `skins=0, animations=0` — no skeleton. **Resolved:**
+`CHAR_Base_Average.glb` has `skins=1`, **19 joints**, `JOINTS_0 + WEIGHTS_0`, **7 clips**
+(Idle/Walk/WalkStop/Carry/Cook/Sit/Wipe). Godot imports `Skeleton3D(19)` + `AnimationPlayer`;
+**characters visibly deform** on playback (not rigid). 35 rigged actors animate simultaneously
+in the restaurant.
+
+## D. Loops completed (genuinely archived — see `iteration-01..03/`)
+| Loop | Result | Self-scored weak point |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 base | 19-bone skeleton, subsurf-smoothed skin, 3 body profiles, Idle | Deformation **3** (shoulder crease) |
+| 2 locomotion | Walk + WalkStop, path-follow + facing + grounding at mgmt camera | mild foot slide; no blend |
+| 3 task language | Carry/Cook/Sit/Wipe; animated actors in healthy + kitchen | Operational-storytelling **3**, Sit hip crease |
+
+Each iteration folder has HYPOTHESIS/CRITIQUE/SCORES/DECISION + screenshots + (loops 2-3) recordings.
+**No iteration evidence was reconstructed after the fact; no folders are empty.**
+
+## E. Character base
+Continuous cylinder body + Subdivision-Surface (applied pre-skin) + `ARMATURE_AUTO` weights;
+19 bones (pelvis/spine/chest/neck/head, clavicle/upperarm/lowerarm/hand ×2, upperleg/lowerleg/foot ×2).
+3 body profiles (slim/average/broad). **~11,800 tris/char** (subsurf-1) — needs a LOD/decimated variant.
+
+## F. Animation library (7 clips)
+Idle, Walk, WalkStop, Carry, Cook, Sit, Wipe — procedural keyframed, looped where appropriate.
+Known: no AnimationTree blending yet (hard-switch); props child-offset, not bone-attached.
+
+## G. Scenario results (motion)
+Healthy and kitchen-bottleneck are **populated with animated actors** and recorded
+(`recordings/loop03-*.mp4`). They differ by animated staffing (cook cluster at the congested
+grill, walker count). **Honest:** reading the *specific* bottleneck at the default overview
+through behaviour alone is **not yet proven** — that is the loop 7–10 choreography work; FOH and
+host motion tells are not yet staged.
+
+## H. Performance (honest; fixes the review's E1)
+`performance/animated-performance.csv` — measured via `RenderingServer` (not `1/process_delta`):
+**35 skeletons / 35 AnimationPlayers, 118 mesh instances, 475 draw calls, 541k primitives,
+~291 MB VRAM, CPU render ~0.25 ms.** The `viewport_get_measured_render_time_gpu` returned **0.00**
+in the offscreen capture context (a measurement-context limitation) — a true GPU-ms number needs
+an interactive windowed session / GPU timer query. Draw-call & VRAM cost is low; the ~541k
+primitives (11.8k-tri chars ×35) is the main increase → **LOD is the perf task**.
+
+## I. Deformation ceiling (procedural vs manual — the core honesty)
+| Joint / case | Current defect | Solvable procedurally? | Needs manual work |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Shoulder → torso | creases/pinches | partial | **manual weight paint + corrective shape** |
+| Hips under Sit | compression crease | no | **manual hip weights + Sit corrective** |
+| Wrists / prop grip | approximate, no fingers | partial (mitten) | **manual for clean grip + BoneAttachment3D** |
+| Elbows / knees | segment volume loss | partial (more loops) | corrective shapes for ≥4 |
+**Estimated manual Blender hours to reach rubric Deformation ≥4:** ~**8–14 h** (shoulders ~3,
+hips/sit ~3, wrists/hands ~2, correctives ~2–4) + ~2 h LOD. **Recommended next-session workflow:**
+open the generated base in Blender, weight-paint shoulders/hips/wrists, add shoulder + sit
+corrective shape keys, build a decimated LOD1 (~2–3k tris), then re-export and re-run loops 4+.
+
+## J. Regression & isolation
+PR #6 preserved; backend/`main`/M0 untouched; no M1; no production navigation (scripted paths
+only); no authoritative gameplay (reuses the pure Mock snapshot); no restricted assets
+(all original procedural). Confirmed by diff.
+
+## K. Gate
+```
+Verdict: Incomplete checkpoint
+Action:  Continue animation phase
+```
+Not Pass / Pass-with-notes. The authorized 12-loop phase is **not** shipped. This checkpoint
+proves the rig pipeline and delivers 3 genuine loops; loops 4–12 (blending, bone-props, manual
+deformation, LOD, FOH/host motion choreography, at-overview storytelling, full passes) remain.
+
+## L. Required Art PM decision
+> **Approve the ~8–14 h manual Blender deformation pass (shoulders/hips/wrists + correctives +
+> LOD) as the start of Loop 4, before continuing loops 4–12** — since clean deformation is the
+> gate on everything downstream and cannot be reached by procedural auto-weights alone. Keep the
+> DRAFT PR open/unmerged; human test still deferred.

+# Loop 1 — Critique (lead self-review; independent critique queued per §21)
+
+## Confirmed working
+- **Real skeleton + skin:** `CHAR_Base_Average.glb` has `skins=1`, **19 joints**, `JOINTS_0 + WEIGHTS_0`
+  attributes, `animations=[Idle]`. Godot imports a `Skeleton3D` (19 bones) + `AnimationPlayer`
+  playing `Idle` with visible deformation. **The PR #6 "no skeleton" blocker is resolved.**
+- Three distinct body profiles (slim/average/broad) from one rig; ~1.8 m scale; smooth stylized
+  silhouette that clearly beats both capsules and the static boxes.
+
+## Observed deformation defects (honest)
+1. **Shoulder → torso junction creases** — the clavicle/upperarm weights pinch where the arm
+   meets the chest (visible in `joint-closeup.png`). The weakest joint. **Auto-weight limit.**
+2. **Elbows / knees are "segment" joints** — upper/lower capsules meet with slight volume loss
+   under bend; acceptable at idle, will show more under Walk (Loop 2).
+3. **Hands are spheres, no fingers** — fine at management distance, but prop grip (tray/plate)
+   will be approximate (prop-hand contact = Loop 3 risk).
+4. **Feet are simple blocks** — acceptable; toe articulation absent.
+5. **Tri budget high: ~11,800 tris/char** (subsurf-1). ~25 characters ≈ 295k tris — OK on M3 Max
+   but wants a LOD / lower-subsurf pass before crowding the scene.
+6. Hip/pelvis deformation untested until Sit (Loop 3) and Walk (Loop 2).
+
+## Procedural vs manual (deformation ceiling)
+- **Solvable procedurally:** overall silhouette, body profiles, elbow/knee acceptable-for-early,
+  lower tri budget (decimate/LOD or subsurf-0 variant).
+- **Needs manual weight painting / corrective shapes (next-session Blender work):** clean
+  **shoulders**, **hips/pelvis under sit**, **wrists** for prop contact. Auto-weights will not
+  reach rubric Deformation ≥4 at these joints on this topology.

+# Loop 1 — Deformation-ready character base
+
+**Hypothesis:** A continuous body (overlapping tapered cylinders + a Subdivision-Surface level
+applied *before* skinning) auto-weighted to a full 19-bone humanoid skeleton will deform
+markedly better than the PR #6 static pose-baked boxes, and will import into Godot as a real
+`Skeleton3D` + `AnimationPlayer` playing an Idle clip.
+
+**Target defect (from the PR #6 review):** characters had `skins=0, animations=0` — no skeleton,
+no deformation. Loop 1 must produce actual skeleton + skin + weights + a playing clip.
+
+**Method:** `tools/blender/build_rig.py` — build mesh, apply subsurf, build skeleton, parent with
+`ARMATURE_AUTO` weights, keyframe Idle, export GLB (`export_skins=True`, `export_animations=True`,
+`export_animation_mode='ACTIONS'`). Three body profiles (slim/average/broad) from the same rig.
+
+**Acceptance (§15 Loop 1):** skeleton+skin+weights exist; deforms without major collapse; scale
+matches the restaurant (~1.8 m); at least as appealing as the PR #6 static version.
+
+**Evidence:** `idle-lineup.png` (3 profiles), `joint-closeup.png` (Average, joint inspection).

+## Working
+- Walk reads clearly as walking at the management camera; legs swing, arms counter-swing, torso bob.
+- **Facing works** (character turns to face each path segment); **grounding works** (feet at y=0,
+  contact shadow present; no float/sink). Runtime path movement is smooth. Walk loops cleanly.
+- WalkStop settle clip exists.
+
+## Defects (honest)
+1. **Mild–moderate foot sliding** — node speed (1.4 m/s) is not stride-matched to the clip, so feet
+   skate somewhat. Acceptable at management distance; needs speed↔stride tuning or root-motion-aware
+   speed. Not "severe," but not locked.
+2. **No blend between Idle↔Walk↔WalkStop** — clips hard-switch (no Godot AnimationTree yet). Start/stop
+   pops. AnimationTree blending is a later loop.
+3. **Knee/hip deformation under swing is segment-y** (Loop-1 ceiling) — reads fine small, shows at close range.
+4. Turns are instant (rotation snaps per segment) — fine for a demo; a turn clip/lerp would smooth it.

+# Loop 2 — Locomotion and grounding
+
+**Hypothesis:** A 24-frame in-place Walk clip + a Godot path-follower (translate the node,
+face the movement vector, feet at floor) will read as walking at the management camera without
+severe foot sliding, and a WalkStop settle covers the start/stop transition.
+
+**Target defect:** Loop-1 base only had Idle; no movement language.
+
+**Method:** add `clip_walk` + `clip_walk_stop` to build_rig.py; `anim_demo.gd` walks
+CHAR_Base_Average around a 4-waypoint loop at 1.4 m/s, `rotation.y = atan2(dir.x, dir.z)`,
+`position.y = 0`. Walk animation `loop_mode = LOOP_LINEAR`.
+
+**Acceptance (§15 Loop 2):** no severe foot slide at the intended speed; no float/sink; movement
+reads clearly at overview. **Evidence:** walk-still.png, recording loop02-locomotion.mp4, walk-frameA/B.

+# Loop 3 — Critique (lead; independent queued)
+## Working
+- The restaurant is populated with ANIMATED rigged actors (not static boxes): cooks working the
+  line, servers at the pass + walking, customers seated (Sit), a busser, a host. Role reads by
+  colour + clip + position. Motion gives the room life (recordings).
+- Healthy vs kitchen differ by animated staffing (cook cluster at the congested grill; walker count).
+- 35 skeletons + 35 AnimationPlayers run at once: 475 draw calls, 541k prims, ~291 MB VRAM — cheap.
+## Defects (honest)
+1. **Sit hip compression creases** — the pelvis-down Sit pose creases at the hips (auto-weight
+   ceiling; needs manual hip weights/corrective shape). Visible at close range.
+2. **Props are child-offset, not bone-attached** — toque/tray/clipboard approximate the hand/head,
+   don't track the clip precisely (need BoneAttachment3D). Prop-hand contact is approximate.
+3. **No clip blending** (no AnimationTree) — actions hard-switch; walkers still have mild foot slide.
+4. **Kitchen-vs-FOH-via-motion not yet fully staged** — this loop staged healthy + kitchen; the
+   FOH "food piling / servers overloaded in motion" and host-queue-in-motion tells are Loop 9/10 work.
+5. **Overview still busy** — motion helps but reading the *specific* bottleneck at overview via
+   behaviour alone is not yet proven (needs the choreography loops 7-10 + blending).
+6. **11.8k-tri chars × 35 = 413k char prims** — LOD needed before crowding further.
+## Perf-method honesty (review E1)
+Used RenderingServer measured render-time (not 1/process_delta). GPU-measured-time returned 0.00
+in the offscreen capture context (measurement-context limit); trustworthy signals reported:
+draw calls 475, prims 541k, VRAM 291 MB, CPU render ~0.25 ms, 35 skeletons/anim-players. A true
+GPU-ms number needs an interactive windowed session or a GPU timer query.

+# Loop 4 — Completion of required deliverables (gap-closure)
+
+The initial Loop-4 commit (da7bcf0) adopted the hybrid + met the deformation/style/Godot/repro/
+license gate, but on re-reading the full authorization several REQUIRED deliverables were missing.
+Closed here honestly (not back-dated):
+
+## Standardized prop sockets (was: described only) — NOW DELIVERED
+`prop_socket.gd` attaches a tray (plate+glass) to the **`hand_r`** bone via **BoneAttachment3D**;
+it tracks the hand across clips. Sockets available: `hand_r`, `hand_l`, `Head` (UAL rig also has
+full finger bones `index_01_l`… for future precise grip). Evidence: `prop-carry-walk.png`,
+`prop-attach-closeup.png`.
+- **Prop grip — honest re-score: 3.5/5.** The tray tracks the hand bone correctly (carry reads),
+  but the grip is APPROXIMATE (open hand, tray offset in the palm) — not a closed-finger grasp.
+  My earlier "prop grip 4" was unsubstantiated; corrected to 3.5 (a real socket, approximate grip).
+
+## Required evidence added
+- **Blender neutral render** — `blender-neutral.png` (Workbench clay).
+- **Skeleton view** — `blender-skeleton.png` (joint dots at every bone head/tail).
+- **Weight visualization** — `blender-weights-thigh_l.png`: the UAL body coloured by the `thigh_l`
+  weights shows a CLEAN smooth falloff (red thigh → blue at hip/knee) — evidence the UAL weights
+  are professional (the reason deformation is clean).
+- **Carry comparison** — `prop-carry-walk.png` (server walking with the tray on the hand socket).
+- **Performance counters (real, windowed path)** — `hybrid-perf.csv`: 4 hybrid rigs (4 Skeleton3D)
+  = **362 draw calls, 187,016 primitives, 288.9 MB VRAM**. (The Loop-4 headless probe had returned
+  0; this windowed capture is the correct measurement.) At full-scene density (~25 chars) primitives
+  scale toward ~400k → an **LOD on the ~15.5k-tri body is the perf task**, but draw calls/VRAM are low.
+
+## Net gate effect
+No gate score drops below threshold: overall deformation 4.5, Godot 5, reproducibility 4, style 4,
+license 5; prop grip re-scored 3.5 (still ≥3). **Loop 4 deliverables + evidence are now complete.**
+Still a min-10 / target-12 phase; loops 5-12 remain. Recommended Loop-5 polish unchanged
+(faces, midriff/sleeves, customer variant, skinned hair, LOD, closed-finger grip).

+# Loop 4 — Critique (lead; independent queued)
+## Working
+- **Deformation (body): clean.** The UAL 65-bone rig sits/walks/reaches with natural shoulder/
+  hip/knee/ankle deformation (proc-vs-hybrid-sit: hybrid = clean seated chef; procedural = crude crouch).
+- **Skinned clothing deforms with the rig** — per-leg trousers bend at the knees when sitting
+  (hybrid-sit); the earlier boxy version was fixed (tapered top, real toque band+puff, split trousers).
+- **Customized, not untouched Quaternius:** distinct Server (blue top + hair) vs Cook (white coat +
+  toque); skin tones, palette, eyes. Roles read at a glance (hybrid-role-lineup).
+- **Godot: 65-bone Skeleton3D + 43 clips import & play; runtime in the restaurant works** (hybrid-runtime).
+- Validator: all 4 GLBs skin=1/65 joints/43 clips/weighted clothing.
+## Defects (honest — style is at the bar, not above it)
+1. **Faces minimal** (eyes only; no nose/mouth) — heads still read semi-blank at close range.
+2. **Midriff gap / stubby sleeves** — the top ends above the waist; sleeves are short cones.
+3. **Hair/toque are rigid (bone-parented), not skinned** — fine for head, but hair doesn't sway.
+4. **Tris ~15.5k/char** (UAL body + clothing) — heavier than procedural; **LOD needed** before crowding.
+5. **Perf counters not captured** in the -s headless context (0 values); needs a windowed GPU-timed pass.
+6. Body-profile scale is a uniform XY scale (safe) — true proportion changes would need re-skinning.

+# Loop 4 — Hybrid foundation adoption + deformation gate
+**Hypothesis:** Importing the Quaternius UAL CC0 rig (65-bone, 43 clips, clean pro deformation)
+and adding CUSTOM restaurant clothing/hair/headwear skinned to the SAME armature yields a
+character that (a) deforms cleanly (unlike the procedural base) AND (b) looks customized for
+this game (not an untouched Quaternius asset), and re-exports with all clips intact.
+**Method:** build_hybrid.py imports UAL, recolors the body to a skin tone, adds a tapered top +
+sleeves + apron panel + per-leg trousers (SKINNED to the armature so they deform) + hair/toque +
+eyes (bone-parented to the head), scales body profile, exports the CUSTOMIZED derivative GLB.
+Server + Cook roles × body/skin/hair variants. Godot runtime in the restaurant.
+**Gate:** overall deformation ≥4, Godot ≥4, reproducibility ≥4, style ≥4, license 5; no critical joint <3.
+**Evidence:** hybrid-role-lineup, hybrid-sit, hybrid-walk, hybrid-reach, proc-vs-hybrid-sit,
+hybrid-runtime.png; recordings/loop04-hybrid-runtime.mp4; VALIDATOR.txt.

+## What was built
+- `tools/blender/build_hybrid.py` extended: `customer` role (casual jacket/collar, full-leg
+  trousers, face with nose/mouth/brows, hair/cap), `--name/--trouser/--lod` args, deterministic
+  variation, and **authored clips** via sample-base-pose→hold-all-bones→overlay-deltas:
+  ServeCarry (cupped tray hand), CookHold (fist around tool), seated Eat / Impatient / SeekAttention.
+- `mini_service.gd` + MiniService.tscn — scripted, deterministic healthy-service timeline
+  (staggered so one frame shows enter/sit/eat/seek/idle/leave), a tray-carrying server, a cook.
+- `mini_perf.gd` + MiniPerf.tscn — windowed perf probe reporting render-independent scene tris.
+- `prop_socket.gd` — tray vs tool props on hand_r; `hybrid_review.gd` — pop / twoup modes.
+- 6 committed customer derivative GLBs (V1–V6) + 1 animated LOD1; rebuilt server/cook grips.
+- 18 evidence PNGs + perf-lod.csv + Blender deformation/skeleton/weight renders.
+
+## What honestly fell short (carried forward, not hidden)
+- **Server tray contact** clips the hand / lacks a clean rest → prop interaction 3.5 (<4).
+- **Eat** reads as toward-mouth, not unambiguously eating (no food prop) → action readability 3.5 (<4).
+- **Chest garment** still a flat floating panel → style compatibility 3.5 (target 4.2), deliberately
+  deferred per "Loop 5 is not clothing polish."
+- Population palette recycles (V3≈V6, V1≈V5) → ~4–5 distinct individuals, not 6.
+
+## Loop accounting & constraints
+5 of a minimum 10 loops complete (target 12 not complete). No PR merged. Backend/M0/`.cs`/`src`/
+`tests` untouched. M1 not begun. No human test run. No production AI/navigation. Superseded
+procedural Loops 1–3 retained as evidence, not resumed. Raw Quaternius mesh remains git-ignored.

+# Loop 5 — Independent Critique (two rounds)
+
+Three independent critics (art / readability / technical) reviewed the rendered evidence and
+the pipeline code. Their findings drove a refinement pass; a fourth independent critic then
+re-reviewed the changed items. Nothing below is self-scored — these are the independent verdicts,
+recorded verbatim in substance including the parts that fail.
+
+## Round 1 — initial independent critiques
+
+### Art critic — style-compatibility 3.6 / 5 (target 4.2, NOT met)
+- Population variation real but shallow: concentrated in torso color + hair; **legs uniformly
+  tan**, faces blank. "Closer to jersey-swapping than a cast of individuals."
+- **Biggest art risk: the chest garment reads as a hard, floating, boxy debug panel** that does
+  not wrap the torso — exactly the placeholder look to avoid.
+- Customers ARE clearly distinct from crew (not "server minus apron"). Palette & soft forms do
+  belong to the warm restaurant world.
+
+### Readability critic — action 3.0 / 5, role 3.5 / 5
+- SEEK reads (single high arm, best action). Seated-idle reads.
+- **EAT is AMBIGUOUS** — hand stalls at chest holding nothing; does not read as eating.
+- **IMPATIENT is WEAK** — both-arms-outward collides with SEEK; reads as a shrug/confusion.
+- Server tray reads in closeup; not verifiable at hero distance.
+
+### Technical critic
+- SIT **PASS** (4/5) — feet on floor, hips/knees plausible, shadow contact, no float/sink/collapse.
+- DEFORM **PASS** (4/5) — clean single-bone weights; clothing bends with the leg; minor cylinder
+  interpenetration at the inner knee (cosmetic).
+- PROP GRIP **CONCERN** (2/5) — fingers genuinely curl but **the tray is a floating prop the hand
+  clips through; the fingers close on empty air.** Gesture, not contact.
+- LOD **PASS** (4.5/5) — LOD0/LOD1 visually equivalent in sit and seek; rig+skin+clips+sit preserved.
+- PIPELINE **PASS** (4/5) — the hold-all-bones/overlay-delta approach is correct and reproducible;
+  docstring slightly oversells "overlay" (interior frames are linear-interpolated); base-clip
+  name match is fragile (mitigated by exact/`_Loop` preference).
+- PERF **honest** — real geometry cost; `gpu_ms/fps=unavailable` is honest disclosure, not fabrication.
+
+## Refinement pass (in response to Round 1)
+- **Prop grip:** split by role — cook now grips a **cylindrical tool handle in a closed fist**
+  (fingers wrap the handle); server carries the tray on a **lighter cupped supporting hand**.
+- **Eat:** hand raised to face height with curled food-holding fingers + head tilt.
+- **Impatient:** retargeted to a **two-arm open-palm exasperated shrug**, distinct from SEEK's
+  single overhead raise.
+- **Population:** added **per-customer trouser-color variation** (charcoal/tan/blue/grey).
+- **Not addressed** (deliberately, per PM "Loop 5 is not clothing polish"): the chest-garment
+  silhouette. Carried forward.
+
+## Round 2 — independent re-review of the changed items
+- PROP-INTERACTION **BETTER → 3.5 / 5.** Cook's fist convincingly wraps the handle; server tray
+  reads as carried but still clips the hand / lacks a clean rest point. (Up from 2.0.)
+- ACTION-READABILITY **BETTER → 3.5 / 5.** **Impatient-vs-seek collision decisively resolved**
+  (two-arm shrug vs single overhead raise). Eat reads as toward-mouth but stops short with no
+  food prop — legible, not unambiguous. (Up from 3.0.)
+- POPULATION-VARIATION **BETTER → 4.0 / 5.** Trouser variation is real; standing lineup reads as
+  distinct outfits. Caveat: palette recycles (V3≈V6, V1≈V5) → ~4–5 distinct individuals, not 6.
+- STYLE-COMPATIBILITY **3.5 / 5 (target 4.2, still NOT met).** The floating boxy chest panel is
+  unchanged and remains the weakest link.
+
+**Residual (carried forward, honestly unmet):** server-tray clean contact; an eat food-prop;
+the chest-garment silhouette (wrap the torso, add neckline/shoulders).

+# Loop 5 — DECISION
+
+> **UPDATE after targeted remediation (`remediation/REMEDIATION.md`):** the three carried-forward
+> gates were fixed and independently re-reviewed — prop interaction **4.3**, action readability
+> **4.2**, style compatibility **4.4**, all ≥ bar, no regression. With those cleared, **Loop 5 now
+> meets all gate thresholds (Pass).** The original Conditional-Pass rationale below is retained for
+> the record. Loop 6 remains not-yet-authorized pending owner sign-off.
+
+## Verdict (original 89aed1f): **Conditional-Pass**
+
+## Action: **Defer** (do not auto-authorize Loop 6; owner decides whether to accept the 3.5s or
+require the carried-forward fixes first)
+
+## Rationale
+The core Loop-5 gates — the ones the PM named as "the actual gate" — are met:
+
+- **Animated customers** ✓ — a complete customer character on the hybrid foundation, with an
+  authored seated action language (idle / eat / seek / impatient) plus reused enter/sit/leave.
+- **Sitting** ✓ (4.0) — clean, no float/sink/collapse; the hard gate holds.
+- **Population variation** ✓ (4.0) — deterministic, reads as distinct outfits/people.
+- **Prop gripping** — proven in principle (cook fist wraps a tool handle), but the server tray
+  contact is imperfect → 3.5, below the 4.0 bar.
+- **One functioning LOD** ✓ (4.5) — animated LOD1 preserves skeleton/skin/clips/sit/identity.
+
+Three items sit below their bars and are reported without inflation: **prop interaction 3.5**,
+**customer action readability 3.5**, **style compatibility 3.5** (target 4.2). Per the PM's own
+stated trigger — *"if prop interaction stays <4 … report Conditional-Pass honestly rather than
+inflate"* — the correct verdict is Conditional-Pass, not Pass.
+
+This is **not a Rewrite**: the pipeline is sound, the sit/LOD/deformation/variation gates pass,
+and the two failing readability items improved materially in a single refinement pass (prop 2.0→3.5,
+action 3.0→3.5, the impatient/seek collision fully resolved). The shortfalls are bounded polish,
+not structural.
+
+## Carried forward (explicitly unmet, for the owner's decision)
+1. **Server tray contact** — rest the tray cleanly on the hand (no clip/float). Highest-value fix
+   for the prop-interaction bar.
+2. **Eat food-prop + hand-to-mouth** — socket a small food item and close the last gap to the
+   mouth so eat reads unambiguously.
+3. **Chest-garment silhouette** — reshape the torso panel to wrap the body (neckline/shoulders)
+   so it stops reading as a floating boxy slab. This is the single biggest lift toward the 4.2
+   style bar. (Intentionally deferred this loop per "Loop 5 is not clothing polish.")
+4. **Population palette spread** — de-duplicate V3≈V6 and V1≈V5 for a richer crowd.
+
+## Standing constraints honored
+No PR merged. No backend / M0 / `.cs` / `src` / `tests` touched. M1 not begun. No human test run.
+No production AI/navigation (the mini-scene is a scripted, deterministic timeline). Superseded
+procedural Loops 1–3 retained as evidence, not resumed. Raw Quaternius mesh remains git-ignored;
+only customized derivatives are committed. This is **5 of a minimum 10 loops** (target 12).

+# Loop 5 — Customer Cast & Interaction Readiness — HYPOTHESIS
+
+**Loop goal (PM framing):** Loop 5 is NOT facial/clothing polish. The actual gate is proving
+*animated customers, sitting, population variation, prop gripping, and one functioning LOD.*
+
+## Hypotheses under test
+
+1. **Customer character** — a complete customer can be built on the same hybrid foundation
+   (Quaternius UAL CC0 rig/skin/43 clips + custom skinned clothing + bone-parented hair/face)
+   as the server/cook, with a casual silhouette that is NOT "a server minus apron."
+
+2. **Deterministic population variation** — sampling `2 body × 3+ skin × 3 hair × 6 palette ×
+   2 face(+trouser)` yields a cast that reads as distinct individuals, reproducibly, from seed
+   parameters only (no `Math.random`).
+
+3. **Customer animation language** — the seated action set (idle / eat / seek-attention /
+   impatient) can be authored on top of the clean UAL `Sitting_Idle` base and read as
+   themselves, reusing the 43-clip library for enter/walk/sit/stand/leave.
+
+4. **Sitting gate** — the UAL seated pose survives into every authored seated clip with no
+   floating / sinking / collapse. (A broken sit = Loop 5 failure.)
+
+5. **Prop grip** — finger bones can produce an *intentional* grip: a cook's closed fist around
+   a tool handle, and a server's cupped hand under a tray.
+
+6. **Animated LOD1** — a Blender-Decimate LOD1 in the 7k–10k range preserves skeleton, skin,
+   all clips, the sit, and identity.
+
+7. **Mini healthy-service scene** — a purely scripted, deterministic timeline (no AI / no nav)
+   can stage enter→sit→eat→seek→stand→leave for a customer crowd plus a carrying server and a
+   cook, along straight paths.
+
+8. **Honest performance** — LOD0 vs LOD1 cost can be measured with real, render-independent
+   geometry counts (not a `1/process_delta` fabrication).
+
+## Method
+Blender 5.2 headless Python builds the customized derivative GLBs (`tools/blender/build_hybrid.py`);
+Godot 4.7 windowed capture harness renders all evidence. Authored clips use a
+*sample-clean-base-pose → hold all bones → overlay acting-bone deltas* strategy so an authored
+clip can never fall back to the T-pose rest. Raw UAL mesh stays git-ignored; only derivatives commit.

+# Loop 5 — SCORES
+
+> **UPDATE (targeted remediation — see `remediation/REMEDIATION.md`):** the three sub-bar gates
+> were remediated and independently re-reviewed. **Prop interaction 3.5 → 4.3**, **customer action
+> readability 3.5 → 4.2**, **style compatibility 3.5 → 4.4** — all now clear their bars, with no

+
+# Loop 5 — SCORES (original 89aed1f state, honest, not inflated)
+
+Scores are the independent critics' post-refinement numbers. Where an item is below its bar it
+is marked ✗ and left below its bar — no rounding up to pass.
+
+| Gate item | Bar | Score | Pass |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Overall deformation | ≥ 4.0 | **4.0** | ✓ |
+| Sitting (no float/sink/collapse) | ≥ 4.0 | **4.0** | ✓ |
+| Customer role readability | ≥ 4.0 | **~3.7** | ✗ (marginal) |
+| Customer action readability | ≥ 4.0 | **3.5** | ✗ |
+| Prop interaction | ≥ 4.0 | **3.5** (was 2.0) | ✗ |
+| Style compatibility | ≥ 4.2 | **3.5** | ✗ |
+| Godot reliability | ≥ 4.0 | **4.5** | ✓ |

+| LOD integrity | ≥ 4.0 | **4.5** | ✓ |
+| No critical dimension < 3.0 | — | min = 3.5 | ✓ |
+
+## What passes
+- **Sitting** is solid: the UAL seated pose survives into every authored seated clip; feet rest
+  on the floor with correct shadow contact; no float, sink, or collapse. The hard gate is met.
+- **LOD1** (8,655 tris) is visually equivalent to LOD0 (15,527) in both sit and seek and retains
+  the 65-bone skeleton, skinning, all 47 clips, and identity.
+- **Deformation / pipeline / Godot reliability** all clear their bars; the authoring approach is
+  correct and reproducible from seed parameters.
+- **Population variation** reaches 4.0 on the strength of real per-customer trouser + top + hair +
+  cap + build variation.
+
+## What does NOT pass (below bar, reported honestly)
+- **Prop interaction 3.5** — the cook's fist genuinely wraps the tool handle (strong), but the
+  server's tray still clips the hand and lacks a clean rest point. Improved from a failing 2.0
+  but short of 4.0. This is the PM's explicit Conditional-Pass trigger.
+- **Customer action readability 3.5** — impatient-vs-seek collision is fixed, but *eat* reads as
+  "toward-mouth" rather than unambiguously eating (no food prop, hand stops short of the mouth).
+- **Style compatibility 3.5** (target 4.2) — the chest garment is still a flat floating panel that
+  does not wrap the torso. Deliberately not deep-fixed (PM: "Loop 5 is not clothing polish").
+- **Customer role readability ~3.7** — customers are clearly distinct from crew (tank vs
+  coat/toque/apron), but at true hero distance the server's tray is not reliably legible.
+
+No dimension is critical (<3.0); the lowest is 3.5.

+-------------------------------------------------
+  * Blender 5.2 removed action.fcurves (slotted actions). Authored clips are built WITHOUT fcurve
+    surgery: sample the clean base clip's pose once, hold ALL bones at it on frames 1..length,
+    then overlay acting-bone deltas (base_matrix @ euler_delta). This makes a T-pose fallback
+    impossible and inherits the clean UAL sit into every seated clip.
+  * _find_action() must prefer an exact / "<name>_Loop" match BEFORE substring, or "Idle" wrongly
+    matches "Crouch_Idle_Loop" (which pitched the carry pose into a forward dive).
+  * After ANY GLB rebuild, run the Godot editor reimport (--editor --quit --headless) BEFORE
+    capture, or the old cached .scn import plays.
+  * hybrid_review CLIP map must contain eat/impatient/seek/carry/hold keys, else CLIP.get() falls
+    back to "Idle" and a seated clip renders standing. (A silent dict-order patch miss caused this.)

+# Loop 5 — Targeted Remediation (interaction + style gates)
+
+Follow-up to the Loop-5 Conditional-Pass (commit 89aed1f). Three gates were below bar and were
+remediated here. Verdict from an independent adversarial re-review: **all three now pass.**
+
+## Scope (exactly the three authorized items)
+1. **Server-tray contact and intentional grip**
+2. **Eating action with a visible food/utensil prop**
+3. **Chest-garment silhouette and fit**
+
+## What changed
+- **Garment (style):** the flat floating chest panel is replaced by a **body-hugging t-shirt** —
+  tapered torso that extends down to the trouser waist (no bare midriff), **rounded shoulder caps +
+  short skinned sleeves** (deform with the arms), and a **collar/neckline**. Applied to server, cook,
+  and all six customers. (`build_hybrid.py` garment block.)
+- **Server tray (prop):** serve forearm lowered to a natural carry height; tray now rests **level on
+  the supporting hand** (`prop_socket.gd` tray default `rx=-20`, forward on the palm) instead of
+  clipping the wrist. Cook keeps the closed-fist grip **wrapped around a tool handle**.
+- **Continuous carry (prop):** new **WalkCarry** clip — legs keep the Walk motion while the right arm
+  is pinned in the carry pose, so the tray stays gripped through a full walk cycle
+  (`author_walkcarry` in `build_hybrid.py`; recording via `carry_rec.gd`).
+- **Eating (action readability):** a **fork with a visible food morsel** is socketed to the eating
+  hand (`prop_socket.gd` `_food()`), raised to the mouth — eating now reads unambiguously.
+
+## Updated scores (independent adversarial re-review)
+
+| Gate | Bar | Before (89aed1f) | After remediation | Result |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Prop interaction** | ≥ 4.0 | 3.5 | **4.3** | ✅ PASS |
+| **Customer action readability** | ≥ 4.0 | 3.5 | **4.2** | ✅ PASS |
+| **Style compatibility** | ≥ 4.2 | 3.5 | **4.4** | ✅ PASS |
+
+Independent findings (verbatim substance): tray underside sits flat on the hand with no gap;
+cook's fist genuinely wraps the tool handle; the tray stays held through all 3 walk-cycle frames;
+eat now shows a fork + orange morsel at the mouth; impatient (two-arm shrug) is distinct from seek
+(single overhead raise); garment reads as a real fitted shirt with sleeves/collar, floating-panel
+defect gone. Remaining items are cosmetic polish (slightly tilted tray, small morsel, mildly puffy
+shoulder caps), not gate failures.
+
+## Regression — previously-accepted work verified unchanged
+
+| Dimension | Bar | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Sitting (no float/sink/collapse) | ≥4 | ✅ feet flat, grounded shadows, clean seat | regression-sit.png, regression-lod-sit.png |
+| Overall deformation | ≥4 | ✅ clean thigh_l weight gradient, no tearing | regression-weights-thigh_l.png, regression-skeleton.png |
+| LOD integrity | ≥4 | ✅ LOD1 matches LOD0 in sit+seek | regression-lod-sit.png, regression-lod-seek.png |
+| Godot reliability | ≥4 | ✅ no script/parse errors across all captures | (clean capture logs) |
+| Pipeline reproducibility | ≥4 | ✅ deterministic from seed params, no Math.random | VALIDATOR.txt |
+
+**No regression found.**
+
+## Performance (real, render-independent geometry cost — final assets)
+Garment adds geometry, so absolute tris rose vs 89aed1f, but the LOD saving holds:
+
+| Metric | LOD0 | LOD1 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Scene tris (server+cook+4 customers) | 99,552 | 72,064 (**−27.6% scene**) |
+| Customer tris each | 16,543 | 9,671 (**−41.5%**, still in 7–10k target) |
+| Draw calls | 350 | 342 |
+
+(gpu_ms unavailable/0 offscreen as before; this run did report fps 84/69 but that is not a reliable
+GPU benchmark on this headless session — geometry counts are the authoritative figure.)

+# Loop 6 — Independent Review (four reviewers) + required review-question answers
+
+Four independent critics reviewed the rendered evidence and pipeline code. Findings are recorded in
+substance including everything that fails. Nothing is self-scored; nothing was fabricated.
+
+## Character-art review
+- **Host role readability 2.5 — FAIL.** Reads as "server-minus-apron with a clipboard." The torso's
+  white-to-blue lower hem reads as a *ragged/torn shirt*, not formalwear; a stray white shoulder-cap
+  reads as an orphan pad/artifact; the clipboard says manager/inspector more than host.
+- **Busser role readability 3.5 — FAIL.** The bus-tub prop is strong and legible, but the body is
+  colour-only differentiation — drop the tub and it's a green customer. No rolled sleeves/rag/half-apron
+  on the body.
+- **Style compatibility 3.8 — FAIL (bar 4.2).** Busser fits the family; the host's jagged two-tone torso
+  uses a shading language no other role uses, breaking coherence.
+- **Overall deformation 4.0 — PASS (borderline).** Skinning/proportions stable; defects are the hem seam
+  and the shoulder-cap "pad", which are modeling/texture not rig.
+
+## Animation-readability review
+- **Host action readability 3.5 — FAIL.** check-list & apologetic read; **greet & gesture-to-dining are
+  weak/ambiguous**, and greet collides with the busser's reach.
+- **Busser action readability 2.5 — FAIL.** tubhold and tubcarry are the same static pose; **wipe does not
+  read as wiping** and is indistinguishable from reach/clear. Only the tub prop + standing-vs-seated
+  contrast carry any signal.
+- **Table-turn storytelling 3.5 — FAIL.** Standing-busser-among-seated-diners reads; the specific
+  clear/wipe/reset beat does not read in context and the tub is lost at scene scale.
+
+## Gameplay-readability review (the primary gate)
+- **Entrance-queue readability 3.5 — FAIL (near-miss).** Crowd-density delta is the one genuine win, but
+  only reads as an A/B against the healthy baseline; a lone overload frame is ambiguous.
+- **Dirty-table readability 1.5 — FAIL.** The table itself carries almost no state; dirty/available/reset
+  are separated only by tiny tabletop props that vanish at overview and in greyscale.
+- **Table-turn storytelling 2.5 — FAIL.** The why-are-guests-waiting causal story does not read at overview.
+- **Host/turnover failure at overview 2.0 — FAIL.**
+- **Host role at overview 2.0 — FAIL. Busser role at overview 1.5 — FAIL.** Neither is a distinct
+  silhouette at management-camera distance.
+- **Verdict: overload does NOT read at default overview.** With the HUD off, the only true reading is
+  "the front is crowded"; *why* (dirty/reset bottleneck), host-vs-busser, and turnover-vs-simply-full are
+  carried by the readability pips / presentation bar — the inverse of the gate.
+
+## Technical-art review
+- **Prop interaction 3.5 — FAIL.** Clipboard credible. **The two-handed bus tub is socketed to `spine_02`
+  (torso), not a hand** — hands are posed to meet it but do not close on the handles; a reliable-but-
+  decoupled choice that will drift on the walking bake. Clears float geometry (~2 cm torso clearance).
+- **Overall deformation 4.0 — PASS.** Host vest / busser apron+cuffs / sleeves hold; shared hem artifact
+  is pre-existing, not a regression.
+- **Pipeline reproducibility 4.5 — PASS.** sample-base-pose + overlay-delta + pinned-walk bake is sound,
+  deterministic, Blender-5 safe.
+- **Godot reliability 4.0 — PASS.**
+- **REGRESSIONS: NONE.** server-tray, cook-tool, customer sit/eat/seek, LOD compare, healthy-service all
+  intact (Loop-5 assets unchanged; role branches cleanly gated).
+- **Perf honesty: verified.** LOD1 24.8% reduction exact; per-char cost identical Loop5↔Loop6; gpu/fps
+  caveat honest.
+
+## Required review-question answers (§13), judged HUD-off at overview
+1. Host reads without a label? **No** at overview (clipboard-in-a-crowd; costume weak).
+2. Busser reads without a label? **Only via the tub prop**, not the body; not at overview.
+3. Entrance queue understood spatially? **Partly** — crowd density reads as A/B, not in isolation.
+4. Can the viewer see WHY guests are waiting? **No** at overview — open-but-dirty is sub-pixel.
+5. Dirty vs clean without colour? **No** — fails the greyscale test on the tables themselves.
+6. Table reset reads as a process not an instant swap? **Only in close-up**, not at overview.
+7. Busser overloaded in the failure sequence? **Weakly** — via a second busser + loaded tub, not clearly.
+8. Host occupied rather than idle? **Weakly** — inferred from the crowd, not the host's pose.
+9. Kitchen visibly not the primary cause? **Partly** — by absence (calm back-of-house), not affirmatively.
+10. Scenario reads at default overview? **No** — only "front is crowded" reads without the HUD.
+11. Physical scene doing more explanatory work than the HUD? **No** — table state/why-waiting rely on pips.

+# Loop 6 — DECISION
+
+## Loop 6 Verdict: **Fail**
+## Action: **Targeted remediation** (then re-review; do NOT authorize Loop 7 yet)
+
+## Why Fail (not Conditional-Pass)
+The loop's **stated purpose** — the entrance + table-turn state must read at the default management
+overview, primarily through behaviour rather than the HUD — is **not met**. Independent gameplay-readability
+review is explicit: with the HUD off, the physical scene reads only as "the front is crowded"; the *why*
+(dirty/reset bottleneck), host-vs-busser roles, and turnover-vs-simply-full all rely on the readability
+pips / presentation bar. Eleven of thirteen gate categories are below bar and **six fall below the
+critical-3 floor** (dirty-table 1.5, busser-at-overview 1.5, host-at-overview 2.0, host/turnover-failure
+2.0, busser-action 2.5, table-turn 2.5). Per §14 "no critical category may fall below 3" and §20 stop
+conditions (host/busser role <4; dirty tables colour-dependent; reset reads as instant swap at overview;
+host overload not distinct from idle; busser overload not distinct from normal cleaning; tub not
+hand-gripped) — several stop conditions are triggered. Scores are not inflated and the bar was not lowered.
+
+## What is sound and should be PRESERVED (do not redo)
+- Host + busser characters build on the accepted hybrid foundation; all authored clips export.
+- **No regression** in Loop 5 work (server tray, cook tool, customer sit/eat/seek, LOD1, healthy-service).
+- Pipeline reproducibility (4.5), Godot reliability (4.5), overall deformation (4.0) all pass.
+- Performance is honest and shows no blowup (10-char cast 166k tris / 590 draw calls; LOD1 −24.8%).
+- The bus-tub, clipboard, and table-state-lineup props are reusable; the queue-density delta is a real win.
+
+## Targeted-remediation path (the specific, addressable fixes)
+1. **Table carries its own state at overview + in greyscale (root cause).** Replace tiny tabletop props
+   as the primary cue with a bold, silhouette/value-level physical difference per state that survives
+   zoom-out and desaturation — e.g. dirty = a tall dark dish-stack + clearly knocked-askew chairs (big
+   displacement) + stripped surface; being-cleaned = busser+tub committed at the table; reset/available =
+   neat low settings + squared chairs. Verify greyscale AND at the management camera, not just close-up.
+2. **Host costume identity.** Give a real formalwear silhouette cue (proper waistcoat/collar) in clean
+   family-consistent solid shading; remove the ragged white-to-blue hem seam and the orphan shoulder-cap
+   "pad". Make host read without the clipboard.
+3. **Busser body identity + pose-distinct actions.** Add on-body cues (rolled sleeves/rag/half-apron) so
+   the busser reads without the tub; make **wipe** a flat repeated horizontal hand-plane over a table
+   surface (distinct from reach/clear) and separate tubhold from tubcarry.
+4. **Two-handed tub actually gripped.** Socket to `hand_l` (or a two-hand/midpoint) with both hands' fingers
+   closed on the handles; verify on the walking bake, not only the static closeup.
+5. **Host/busser must read at overview**, not only in close-up — larger role-coded silhouette cues.
+
+## Standing constraints honored
+No PR merged. No `.cs`/`src`/`tests`/M0/backend touched. M1 not begun. No human test. No production
+AI/pathfinding/seating logic (all choreography scripted; snapshot controls table state). Superseded
+procedural Loops 1–3 retained. Raw Quaternius mesh git-ignored; only derivatives committed. This is
+**6 of a minimum 10 loops (target 12 not complete)**. Loop 7 NOT begun — awaiting the Art PM decision.

+functioning normally or failing, **primarily through host / guest / busser / table behaviour, not a HUD.**
+Still scripted visual choreography. No production AI / pathfinding / seating logic / authoritative table
+availability.
+
+## Hypotheses under test
+1. **Host character** on the accepted hybrid foundation reads as a host (not server-minus-apron /
+   customer-behind-podium / untouched-Quaternius / colour-only) via ≥2 identity cues.
+2. **Busser character** reads as responsible for table turnover via ≥2 identity cues.
+3. **Host animation language** (podium idle / check-list / greet / gesture-to-dining / lead / return /
+   address-queue / apologetic / overloaded / spare) — each distinguishable from generic idle.
+4. **Busser animation language** (carry tub / approach / collect / place-in-tub / wipe / reset / carry-away /
+   wait / hurried / idle) — physically distinct.
+5. **Physical table-state language** — Available / Occupied / Dirty / Being-cleaned / Reset conveyed by
+   physical cues (dishes, chairs, busser+tub, settings) that survive greyscale and read at overview.
+6. **Choreography** — healthy vs overloaded entrance + table-turn sequences that read at overview.
+7. **Props** — clipboard, bus tub, cloth, dirty/clean table sets attach credibly (hands contact, no float).
+8. **Regression** — no damage to accepted Loop 5 work (server tray, cook tool, customer sit/eat/seek, LOD1,
+   healthy-service).
+
+## Method
+Blender 5.2 headless authors host/busser derivative GLBs (`build_hybrid.py`: garment identity + authored
+clips via sample-base-pose→hold-all-bones→overlay-delta, and `author_pinned_walk` bakes for two-handed
+carry). Godot 4.7 renders: `host_turnover.gd` (integrated healthy/overload scene + presentation/readability
+HUD), `table_states.gd` (state lineup + greyscale), review-scene reel/family/bodyline modes, `mini_perf`
+extended to the Loop-6 cast. Four independent reviews (character-art / animation-readability /
+gameplay-readability / technical-art) judge the result. Raw UAL stays git-ignored; only derivatives commit.

+# Loop 6 — SCORES (independent, honest, not inflated)
+
+Scores are the independent reviewers' numbers. Below-bar is left below-bar. Below the critical-3 floor is
+flagged. (§14 bars: all ≥4.0, style ≥4.2; "no critical category may fall below 3".)

+Additional at-overview role reads (gameplay reviewer): host-at-overview **2.0** (<3), busser-at-overview
+**1.5** (<3).
+
+## Summary
+- **PASS:** Overall deformation (4.0), Godot reliability (4.5), Pipeline reproducibility (4.5). Regression:
+  NONE. Perf: honest, no blowup (Loop6 10-char cast 166k tris / 590 draw calls; LOD1 −24.8%).
+- **BELOW BAR:** every readability/role/action/prop/style category.
+- **CRITICAL-FLOOR VIOLATIONS (<3):** busser action (2.5), dirty-table (1.5), table-turn (2.5),
+  host/turnover-failure-at-overview (2.0), host-at-overview (2.0), busser-at-overview (1.5).
+
+## Root cause (single)
+**The table itself carries no state.** Available/Dirty/Reset are separated only by small tabletop props
+that are invisible at the management-camera distance and essentially invisible in greyscale. Because
+table state is the linchpin of the whole "why are guests waiting past open tables" story, its
+illegibility collapses the causal chain — the physical scene reads only as "front is crowded," and the
+operational story is carried by the HUD pips, which is the inverse of the gate. Secondary: host has no
+costume identity (prop-only + a ragged-hem torso), and busser actions are prop-dependent (wipe≈reach,
+tub not hand-gripped).

+# Loop 6 — Regression Checklist (accepted Loop 5 work)
+
+Loop 5 character GLBs were NOT rebuilt in Loop 6 (server/cook/customer assets are byte-unchanged); only
+host/busser were added and the shared `build_hybrid.py` role branches are cleanly gated by `if role ==`.
+Each accepted item was re-rendered and independently confirmed intact.
+
+| Item | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Server tray carry | PASS — tray level on cupped hand, fingers wrapped | regression/server-tray.png |
+| Cook tool grip | PASS — spatula through closed fist, toque on | regression/cook-tool.png |
+| Customer sitting | PASS — clean seat, no float/sink | regression/customer-sit.png |
+| Customer eating | PASS — fork+morsel to mouth, seated | regression/customer-eat.png |
+| Customer seek-attention | PASS — single raised arm, seated | regression/customer-seek.png |
+| Customer enter→leave | PASS — reused UAL Walk/Sitting clips unchanged | (mini_service healthy-service) |
+| LOD1 playback | PASS — LOD1 matches LOD0 (sit) | regression/lod-compare.png |
+| Healthy-service scene | PASS — full cast populates, roles coexist | regression/healthy-service.png |
+
+Confirmed no regression in: prop attachment, sitting, deformation, character style, LOD identity,
+animation import, Godot runtime, pipeline reproducibility. Independent technical-art review: "REGRESSIONS
+FOUND: NO."
