What

Orders you place on foot from the phone now go to your own two building crews, who build them in real time on site, so you can see a build happen (feedback: "no visible build, want CoC-style crews").

Sim (scripts/sim/)

• CitySim.apply_player_order(mi, a): apply_action for the phone. The order's sites go to the player's D.CREWS (2) crews instead of the contractors, and the order is kept in crew_jobs (total / done in crew seconds, crew -1 while it waits).
• advance_crews(seconds): _process feeds it the frame time at game speed, holding time back while a sliced tick or spread work runs. Sites go through their stages, finished orders open, waiting orders take crews as they free up (crew_job_started / crew_job_finished, cancelled when a bulldoze clears the sites). Saves keep the orders.
• Times (D.crew_seconds): 2 min (park) to 5 min (airport) at speed 1, 10 s per road tile (CREW_MIN_S, CREW_MAX_S, CREW_TILE_S).

Crews on site (scripts/fp/crews/, flag crews)

• crew_rig.gd: a foreman by the gate, two builders whose clips follow the stage, a hauler carrying crates from a pile to the work, dust while they work, and a board over the gate naming the crew, the order, the stage and the time left. A crew that takes an order while you play walks in through the gate; a road crew moves along the road.
• crew_bodies.gd: HC's trades bodies, loaded on background threads, pooled for reuse (stand-in capsules without the roster).
• crew_grid.gd: a per-site walk grid (0.8 m cells) over the ground inside the hoarding and the construction kit's decks, clear of every collision box, cylinder and deck post, with links for steps and climbs.
• crew_spots.gd: picks the door, the foreman's spot and pile, work spots the door reaches, and a drop point the hauler reaches without walking into the crew. When a finished building fills its lot, the crew works from the scaffold.
• crew_card.gd: a card under the top bar listing the orders with stage, progress and countdown, and the ones waiting.
• crews_feature.gd: wires it up. E on a worker gets a word about the job, the site's interact label names its crew, and a toast says when an order is done. There's a new crews photo-tour shot through a site gate.

Construction kit and view (scripts/world/)

• ConstructionKit.deck() / decks_of(): where people stand on a site's own parts (the ground among the rebar, the poured slab, the slab under a frame, every frame floor, the scaffold boards) and which posts to keep clear.
• The hoarding's gate faces the frontage road and is the Site root's gate meta. Each spoil berm now blocks on its own, so the pit inside is open ground.
• CityView.site_gate(i) and site_decks(i) read them in world space.

Phone, HUD, interact

• The phone builds through apply_player_order and shows how many crews are free and how long the order takes, or when a crew frees up.
• hud_style gets crew colours, and the interact label shows which crew builds a site.

Shared

• FpFeature.link_signal() / unlink_signals(): a shared way for features to connect signals and drop them in teardown (used by crews).
• The crews feature frees its pooled bodies on NOTIFICATION_PREDELETE, so quitting without teardown does not leak them.

Tests

• New fp_crew_jobs_test (sim: queueing, timing, sliced-tick hold, saves, cancel, finish_all_sites, instant mode).
• New fp_crews_test (arrival through the gate, hauler route, talk, queue, every stage including the scaffold, finish, cancel, road crew, rebuild, photo shot, teardown, free without teardown).
• fp_core_test and fp_player_test read the gate from CityView.site_gate.

Checks run

• tools/gate.sh full with GATE_RETRIES=1: PASS (36 steps, no flaky steps).
• tools/gate.sh render --only fp_photo: PASS (24 shots, including the new crews shot).
• pre-commit run --all-files and python tools/checks/run_all.py: PASS.
• tools/gen_api_docs.py: regenerated docs/api; README.md and docs/fp/ARCHITECTURE.md updated.
