godot-cold-parse only ever sees scripts on the STARTUP path: autoloads and
the main scene chain. That is the correct scope for the job it was built for
(Sprint 36's `Could not find base class "MetaScreen"`, a registration-ORDER
bug), but it is far narrower than the name suggests, and most of the codebase
is invisible to it. Verified by deliberately breaking a non-startup UI script
and a test file in turn: cold-parse reported "clean", exit 0, for both.
That is the second half of today's false green. A parse error in
test_step_canvas_annotation_layer.gd survived cold-parse AND survived
gdUnit4, which reports the suites that DID load as a clean pass. Two gates,
one blind spot: neither verified that a file it never opened was openable.
godot-parse-sweep opens every .gd in the project (226 today, addons and
.godot excluded) and fails on any that will not parse.
The split between the two halves is forced, not stylistic. No Godot API
reports GDScript parse failure reliably:
- ResourceLoader.load(path, "GDScript", CACHE_MODE_IGNORE) SEGFAULTS the
engine on a script that fails to parse — it dies on exactly the input the
tool exists to find.
- GDScript.new() + source_code + reload() returns a clean error code but
detaches the script from its resource_path, so class_name, preload() and
relative extends stop resolving: it reported 150 of 226 healthy scripts
as broken.
- Plain ResourceLoader.load() neither crashes nor false-positives, but
returns a NON-null object for a broken script, so its return value is
useless.
The engine's own stderr is the only honest signal. So the GDScript half just
opens files and makes no verdict; the wrapper scrapes the diagnosis. The
wrapper also refuses to pass unless the sweep reported completion, so a
future break in the walk cannot itself become a false green.
Unlike cold-parse, "Cannot infer the type" is NOT filtered. That filter is
precisely why cold-parse stayed silent about the file below.
First run found a real one: client/tests/util/scene_helper.gd has not parsed
since 2026-02-25 — five months — because `func(a := null, ...)` cannot infer
a type from null. Fixed with explicit `: Variant` params. Blast radius is
zero (the helper has no importers, so nothing else was taken out with it),
but it went unseen by two gates for five months, which is the point.
Full suite green at 3660.
Pair session with Jeroen, 2026-07-27.

The lookbook render pass load-checked all 264 garment GLBs and found four
garments (boots, cargo pants, jeans, tank top) shipped WITHOUT their
per-body Godot-extracted albedo textures — 44 GLBs would fail to load after
a clean import. Textures regenerated via forced reimport and committed.
Also: swimsuit_onepiece manifest entry was double-nested (lead's merge bug —
runtime unaffected, reads coverage.json); flattened. The parameterized
lookbook_scene tool (drives the production compositor, auto-framing, job
list) is committed for future catalogue renders. Grey head-template finding
filed as T-1095. Lookbook itself delivered to the desktop, not committed.

Twelve garments, per-body on all 11 bodies, chromakey-gated (worst clips:
parka 3px, boots 54, sweater/tank 83, sneakers 100 final-geometry, slides
123, swim trunks 132, cargo 138 — all under the 150px gate), previewed:
tank top, sweater (crew-neck via per-body ring-valley probe — first draft
read mock-neck, fixed by measured rim circularization), track jacket
(recolorable sleeve-stripe region), joggers (side-stripe region), cargo
pants, swim trunks, one-piece swimsuit, sneakers (prism-sole), formal
shoes, ankle boots (calf shaft), slides (open strap + sole), and the
hip-length thrds parka — the first canon-branded garment (Braemar
cold-weather cooperative), quilted, logo-capable.
Tops now hem into real hip geometry (the natural seg_torso bottom is a
9-14cm tooth ring — the sweater established the hem-into-hips practice).
Manifest merged by the lead: 24 clothing entries with region/default-tint
metadata. Full modern catalogue: 21 garments across tops/bottoms/feet/
full-body x casual/formal/sport/swim/outerwear.

Engine: tooling/garment-fit/blender_batch_fit_skinned.py (G1 — the skinned
Surface-Deform batch the old script couldn't produce; self-check green),
blender_author_offset_shell.py (route c: garment shells from OUR body
segments, weights inherited by construction, bone-plane cuts, procedural
RGBA region mask, UV2 chest channel), make_logo.py. Shader:
toon_garment.gdshader — channel-blended 4-region tint + UV2 logo composited
after tint / before toon shading. Proof: tshirt_modern fitted to the six
healthy bodies, manifest entry with style:modern + logo_capable, thrds
wordmark, 18-assertion test suite, 216-capture chromakey QA.
Key finding (Q-060 evidence): single-reference SD-fit of an offset-shell
degrades on girth-divergent bodies (muscular_m worst) — 24mm standoff
tripled headroom but the mechanism limits. Route guidance recorded on
T-1089: per-body shell authoring for offset-shell garments; SD-fit for
derived/hand-authored ones.

The pass-B garment shift is now a depth-only bias in the vertex shader (no
screen-space parallax), eliminating silhouette-growth false positives. This
supersedes the previous commit's mid-run numbers: final peasant run is
33/72 clip flags, ALL genuine tight-proximity findings — 0/18 on front
views (discriminator proof), sleeveless armhole seams on average_f (side),
deep-crouch waist gap (back, worst 150px), collar nape. Bare-arm-crossing-
torso cases correctly reclassed exposed_skin (non-gating). Sensitivity
knobs: clip_epsilon_m (3cm) + --min-pixels (8), tuned to surface tight
seams; calibrate against the first real modern garments.

Second garment-only render pass per view at the identical paused animation
time; the analyzer intersects so body-key pixels split into exposed_skin
(no garment behind — informational: collars, sleeveless arms) vs
clip_through (garment behind — gating). Highlights differ: lime exposed,
red clip. Peasant re-run: 72 captures, 56 clip-through flags — real
collar micro-clips under crouch/walk plus suspected 1px boundary
artifacts; gate threshold + garment-mask dilation are the tuning knobs,
to be calibrated against the first real modern garments.

Automated garment-under-animation QA: CharacterVisual composite with the
garment's covered body segments overridden to flat unshaded magenta, cycled
clips x frames x 4 yaws; PIL analyzer flags connected key-pixel blobs and
emits report.json + highlighted failure frames. Capture scene lives under
client/tools/garment_qa/ (res:// boundary; outside the gdUnit scan root),
driver/analyzer/config under tooling/garment-qa/.
Verified: 72 captures across peasant set x average_m/f x Walk/Sprint/
Crouch_Fwd. Finding: no true mid-cloth clip-through; flags are coverage-claim
vs silhouette mismatch (sleeveless/short-sleeve exposure at collar/cuffs) —
a two-pass garment-behind-pixel discriminator is the queued refinement.
