 ## [Unreleased]
 
-### Fixed
-- Character editor: color swatch closures now read the swatch's current color at click time, not the initial color at construction time
-- Character editor: OK button on color picker modal correctly reads the active swatch color
-- Character editor: D-165 color palette uses correct hardcoded hex values (HSL-derived muted tones) instead of incorrect HSV computation
-- Character editor: hair/head/facial hair fallback asset IDs updated to match actual asset files (stubble removed, mutton_chops added)
-- Character editor: overhead camera preset now near top-down (-80°) instead of horizontal (was 0°)
-- Character editor: hair highlight swatch is now display-only (auto-derived from primary); no longer clickable
-- Character editor: clothing/accessory dock containers stored as instance vars, eliminating fragile child-index traversal
-- Character editor: asset scans now cached during tab build — randomise no longer re-scans on every keypress
-- Character editor: accessory slot grid now filters by item name prefix per slot instead of showing all accessories everywhere
+## [v0.1.28] — 2026-03-23
 
 ### Added
-- Surface Deform batch pipeline — headless Blender script that fits a reference clothing GLB to all 11 body types via Surface Deform modifier; confirmed HIGH reliability in Blender 5.0 with temp_override
-- Initial clothing set — 5 placeholder items (coveralls_basic, jacket_utility, pants_cargo, shirt_henley, boots_work) with 11 body-type variants each (60 GLBs), coverage.json, and recolor masks
-- Clothing authoring helper scripts — procedural reference mesh creator and metadata generator
-- Character asset organization proposal — directory structure, naming conventions, and import pipeline for 11 body types (21 segments each), Quaternius Source tier mapping, CharacterVisualDescriptor contract, Surface Deform clothing pipeline, coverage.json format
-- Body segment GLB library — 198 files (11 body types × 18 segments each) covering average, muscular, teen, thin, heavy, and child body types; thin/heavy/child are auto-scaled forks flagged for artist review
-- Head template GLBs — 4 head meshes from Quaternius OnlyHead source, with 1024×1024 white mask PNGs (full-face tintable)
-- Hair and accessory GLBs — ~20 hairstyle variants (including bald placeholder), 3 facial hair styles, 4 eyebrow sets, with mask PNGs for hair/facial hair
-- Blender headless pipeline scripts — 8 scripts in tooling/ for body segmentation (BMesh API), head extraction, hair import, batch processing, and diagnostics
+- Character creation screen with live 3D preview, 5-tab panel (Body, Hair, Clothing, Accessories, Debug), manifest-driven content
+- Face-based body segmentation pipeline — exclusive assignment per face, no overlap, 19 segments (head, neck, torso_upper, torso, hips, arms, hands, legs, feet, eyes, eyebrows)
+- 6 body types: average/muscular/teen m/f from Quaternius Source tier .blends
+- Solidified hair (20mm) and clothing (25mm) for depth-correct layering over body
+- Skin tinting with per-body-type embedded textures and white recolor mask
+- Eye color with iris-only mask derived from T_Eye_Split.png green channel
+- Eyebrow tinting from hair color via body segment shader
+- Quaternius peasant outfit set (tunic, pants, shoes) across all body types
+- Asset manifest (manifest.json) controlling all available content — replaces filesystem scanning
+- Pre-push lint hook: GDScript parse + gdlint + gdformat (advisory) + Rust clippy/fmt
+- Screenshot test automation with JSON config, 4-cardinal captures, quit-after-screenshot
+- Debug tab with per-segment visibility toggles, All ON/OFF buttons
+- Scroll zoom (cursor-toward on zoom in, head-bone targeting)
+- Dynamic UI: tabs hidden when no content, clothing slots hidden when empty, facial hair hidden for female/teen/child
+- Gender-aware randomizer
+- 26 Q-records filed (Q-063 through Q-088) covering plugins, architecture patterns, and future features
+- 15 tickets filed (#722-736) for tooling, UI, distribution, and QA improvements
+- Araminta agent updated with Poly Haven + Quaternius asset sourcing rules
+
+### Fixed
+- **ALPHA output in toon shaders caused all depth sorting failures** — removing ALPHA from toon.gdshader and toon_masked.gdshader fixed hair/head clipping, clothing/body clipping, and all z-fighting issues simultaneously
+- Character editor: color swatch stale closure, modal OK child traversal, D-165 HSL palette, fallback asset IDs, overhead camera pitch, hair highlight display-only
+- Archetype selection screen removed (v0.2 pivot — no Smuggler/Detective)
+- GDScript strict typing errors (Variant inference on Dictionary.get(), JSON.parse_string())
+- TabContainer children vanishing on scene instantiation — moved to programmatic creation
+- Hair meshes exported with proper skinning (was export_skins=False)
+- Hair mask PNGs were solid black (Blender image API bug) — regenerated as white
+- Rust formatting issues caught by new pre-push hook
+- D-148 overhead camera angle convention clarified (0° → -80°)
+
+### Changed
+- Body segmentation: torso split into torso_upper (spine_03 + clavicle) and torso (spine_01 + spine_02), hips (pelvis) as independent segment
+- Clothing no longer hides body segments — solidify handles visual coverage, segment hiding reserved for amputation/prosthetics
+- Randomise → Randomize (US English convention)
+- pr-push skill: mandatory runtime smoke test before pushing
+- pr-review skill: parse check before spawning reviewers, process gap flagging
