tooling/db/ (a misnamed directory: connectors, not database work),
trellis-batch.sh and synth_ui_sounds.py become `reach assets`:
audio {health,generate,batch,post {convert,normalize,trim,pipeline}},
image {health,generate}, trellis {health,generate,batch}, and synth-ui.
The four audio bash wrappers are retired, and tooling/db/ is gone.
Parity, from baselines taken before anything moved:
- the four UI-sound WAVs and the harmonic-synth WAVs (exponential and linear
decay) are byte-identical
- the ffmpeg pipeline's decoded PCM is identical. Its .ogg bytes are not,
even between two runs of the OLD code: Ogg picks a random stream serial,
so the encoded file was never the right thing to compare
- the network success paths can't be run in a gate (Stable Audio and Trellis
are kept off, Gemini costs money), so tooling/test_assets.py stands up a
fake Gradio and pins every payload: the audio submit, Trellis's six-call
session sequence with its 9-input image_to_3d, and the Gemini body. It
failed when one Trellis value was mutated (7.5 → 7.0)
Failure classification, in endpoints.py, is the point of the port. The
services are OFF by design (VRAM on tower-of-joy, D-17), and the topology doc
warns against "fixing" one by restarting it. So a refused connection says OFF
and asks for the service to be turned on rather than restarted; a 4xx/5xx says
the request was rejected; 401/403 says credentials; 429 says quota; and an
unreachable Gemini blames the network, not VRAM.
Behaviour changes, each a failure that used to read as success or crash:
- audio batch and trellis batch exited 0 with failures in their summaries;
they now print the summary and exit 1
- trellis generate on a missing image crashed with a TypeError
(print(..., indent=2)); it now names the file, and checks it before the
service so a typo is not reported as an outage
- the ffmpeg pipeline left its intermediates behind when a step failed
Structure: the connectors called each other as subprocesses (batch spawned
the connector, which spawned audio_post) and parsed each other's stdout. They
are now function calls, and ffmpeg is the only exec, through core/process.
ensure_venv() is removed: it os.execv'd into .venv, which D-263's exec rule
forbids, and reach declares the dependencies itself. config.json moved into
the domain deliberately, and the local-services rule follows it.
Output contract: results are still JSON on stdout with the same keys, so skill
readers keep working. Failures are an exit status with a Fix line, never
{"ok": false}. The audio-gen, glb-gen and image-gen skills, Araminta's agent
file and the allow-list are updated to match. glb-gen's "trellis-batch.sh is
hardcoded to one category" caveat is gone: batch takes --input-dir or --names.

Standardized YAML frontmatter on all 13 docs/assets/ files covering
audio, visual, and video pipeline docs, palettes, and templates.

Updated ambient.md, sfx.md, and ui.md with generation parameters,
frequency specs, and integration notes for all 8 new assets.

Re-generate monologue chimes (were oversized placeholders) and
fog_recognition (was silent). Fix sample rate headers on remaining
assets (192kHz→44.1kHz). All 8 UI assets now at 44.1kHz stereo,
LUFS -16 normalized, Vorbis q6, durations within D-038 spec.

Generated via Stable Audio Open with sonic family prompt prefixes:
- cursor_hover.ogg (insert-tech, digital click)
- weapon_aim.ogg (insert-tech, mechanical latch sketch)
- implant_open.ogg (insert-tech, neural lattice rising tone)
- fog_recognition.ogg (organic, cognitive realization chime)
- sfx_monologue_chime.ogg (insert-tech, placeholder per D-071)
- sfx_monologue_chime_urgent.ogg (insert-tech, placeholder per D-071)
All assets need duration trimming in next audio sprint (#453).
Updated docs/assets/audio/ui.md status to draft.

Category-based asset index for audio, visual, and video pipelines.
Audio pipeline fully populated: palette (sonic identity bible), ambient
loops, SFX, UI sounds with generation specs and mix parameters.
Visual and video are stubs pending their respective workshops.
