Authors the full style bible: camera table separating D-148 gameplay from
D-019 offline-renderer use; the delegated toon-vs-PBR ruling (environment
props share the character toon treatment, with a minimal-PBR carve-out for
glass/polished metal so sightlines read truthfully under occlusion-based
perception); a color/material register for every D-235 ObjectTag (hue,
grain, D-217-keyed weathering); and explicit supersession notes both ways
with visual-grammar-v01.md and the mood-board workshop transcript.
Includes branch-side pql changelog rows (T-1050/T-1052 -> review); the
worktree pre-commit export step failed benignly (write-through had
already refreshed the files) so they are staged explicitly here.

Jeroen's benchmark capture for the Atlas polish pass, saved in-repo
with the technique extraction (rivers-as-networks/taper, road-vs-river
color+straightness disambiguation, coast gradient, data-driven stipple,
labels) so the future Araminta-led pass has the source material.

clide SKILL.md re-synced to the clide repo's canonical copy (picks up the dock/D-87 slot; de-forks). d2-diagram/frame0-wireframe/skill-create deletions landed in the prior commit; their repo-specific tailoring is preserved in docs/design/diagram-wireframe-conventions.md. Part of T-1099.

T-1095 fixed: template heads now receive the body's skin tone (same
treatment as seg_head) — _load_head passes tone.lit with a full-white
fallback mask through _attach_to_bone; without a mask sidecar the tint was
silently ignored, so untinted templates read grey against mid/dark tones.
Verified by lookbook render (head_001 on child, tone 6 — face matches arms).
Docs: the T-1088 locomotion design document committed to docs/design/ (the
sandbox code's 'design §' references now resolve in-repo); character-asset-
organization gains §11 Wardrobe Pipeline and sheds three stale claims (the
never-built indexed-greyscale mask plan, single-mask-per-asset for clothing,
the resolved multi-region open question); CHANGELOG carries the sidequest
entry; D-250 amended with the shipped cutaway-modes verdict (mode 2 default,
user-decided live).
Tickets: T-1088, T-1089, T-1095 closed; T-1096 filed (S9 live feel-tuning,
needs the user). The Fable-5 cascade exception is closed — the cascade
resumes at Phase 4 (T-750).

The mosaic palette gains a climate-biome dimension for the Grassland surface-class:
savanna / temperate / boreal / tundra now read distinctly rather than collapsing to
one biome-blind palette (the D-246 biome-awareness fix).
- atlas/mosaic.rs: ClimateBiome (from temperature_c + moisture_q) + four biome-keyed
Grassland palettes; palette(class, biome). Savanna carries scattered Forest copses,
tundra carries lichen + sparse bare ground and no forest. §8-safe (veg + water only).
- atlas/voxel.rs: derive the biome; a cold barren district (tundra/boreal) now takes
the sparse mosaic rather than staying blank — worlds that read "0 vegetated / blank"
now read structured-sparse (D-245 climate-appropriateness). vegetated_districts
8→20 and 0→39 on the cold validation bodies.
- data/mosaic_constants.toml: biome-keyed grassland mirror.
- docs/design/alien-ecology-vocabulary.md: Miri's full biome × register naming layer
(the cane/vane/wrack/husk/drum-root native lexicon + Earth-register names) — the
derived-label source for the palette and Phase-5 rendering.
Believability golden regenerated. Full server suite green. Forest biomes and the
introduced-Earth register are the noted continuation.

Finalizes #849 core-world atlas cohesion: GJ0d (Earth/Sol) markers.json
cleaned of erroneous data, refine_log updated with Sol body gap notes,

"Biome" describes per-zone vegetation classification (Whittaker table).
"Planet class" describes overall planetary character. The conflation
caused the planet generator to misclassify ~270 bodies as barren.
Scope: systems.db column, schema SQL, Rust atlas code, wiki table
headers (Biome → Class), atlas proposal JSONs, all docs/decisions,
tooling scripts. Also normalizes atmosphere vocabulary (breathable →
standard) and expands planet class mapping to all 26 wiki values.
Unknown classes default to temperate for modder safety.

7 planet type PNGs (512×512px RGBA) covering all biome_summary values:
temperate, temperate_terminator, oceanic, arid, frozen, volcanic, barren.
Pure Python ray-sphere renderer (spikes/planet-renders/generate_planets.py)
— numpy/PIL only, no Godot dependency, ~2s for all 7 types. Seeded from
body_id for reproducibility. Resolves Q-064 (Godot 3D planet plugin
evaluation — superseded by headless Python approach).
Assets at client/assets/planets/, 512×512 RGBA, displayed at 240×240 in

Replace every occurrence of "Krenn" with "Van Maanen's Star" (or
contextual variants like VMS for locale codes, Van Maanen for proper
noun contexts). Covers CHANGELOG, briefings, workshop docs, sprint
briefings, environmental text examples, templates, ticker content,
and architecture docs.

Corridors are migration tendencies, not ethnic boundaries. Cross-corridor
heritage at any hop distance is normal and expected.

Adds Section 6.3 (Naming Variety) with guidelines for avoiding
theme-park naming — max 30-40% Earth transplants, mix in founder
names, local features, corporate designations, and evolved forms.
Also adds foundational note clarifying that culture, politics, and
economics are independent axes along corridors: systems can share
any combination with neighbours without cultural branding.

Gate builders don't place two horizon stations in one star system.
Binary pairs (A/B components of same physical star) split to
independent stars. Each "move" system keeps its connections and
content, only the host star changes.
Migrations:
- GJ 559A (Rigil Kentaurus) -> GJ 768 (Altair) — rewritten for new star
- GJ 725A (Renaissance) -> GJ 251
- GJ 820A -> GJ 3877 (Tessera — compact/records world)
- GJ 570B -> GJ 1156
- GJ 783B -> GJ 299
- GJ 663B (Guniibuu B) -> GJ 1286 (Kensho — university world)
- GJ 338A -> GJ 4053
- GJ 280B -> GJ 3991
- GJ 15B -> GJ 4274
New system names and roles assigned:
- Tessera: founding compact + institutional records
- Kensho: university world, largest Institute presence
- Vargr: mining (DSMC, MVG/GC minority stakes)
- Parallax: media world (was Procyon)
- Lu Ban: failed corp / mixed industrial (was Groombridge 34)
- Altair: southern gateway (was Rigil Kentaurus)
- Keid: garden world / ecological reservation
- Ross 128: ocean world (fishing, research, tourism)
Also adds docs/design/gj-catalog-full.json (3801 GJ entries from
HYG v4.2) for future star assignment.

System S-057 assigned to real star GJ 35 (Van Maanen's Star, DG white
dwarf at 13.9 ly). Renamed across all content, server code, docs,
decisions, wiki lore, and config files. 224 files updated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaced fabricated designations with real Gliese-Jahreiss entries
sourced from HYG Database v4.1. Selection: 215 G/K/F + 75 M + 10
unusual (white dwarfs, flare stars, subdwarfs) = 300 systems.
Habitable star types (G/K/F) are preferred at each distance shell,
spreading usable planets wider through the network. M-dwarfs fill
remaining slots — station economies, mining, frontier outposts.
Distance range: 4.2-46.8 ly. 51 named stars including Tau Ceti
(Gateway), Alpha Centauri, Delta Pavonis, Barnard's Star, Sirius,
Procyon, Arcturus, Pollux, Vega, Fomalhaut.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
All systems use Gliese-Jahreiss (GJ) designations as primary catalog.
35 real nearby stars assigned by proximity to Gateway; 265 fabricated
across GJ sub-catalogs (main, southern, supplement, post-settlement).
Notable assignments:
- Gateway (S-001): GJ 71 / Tau Ceti
- Alpha Centauri A/B (S-090): GJ 559A, binary junction at hop 3
- Delta Pavonis (S-265): GJ 780, core dead_end at hop 2

300-node gate network with 334 edges, generated from seed config then
hand-balanced and tuned. Gateway (S-001) is the first hop from Earth
with 4 active + 1 dormant Sol aperture.
Final topology: 20% dead_end, 14% spur_end, 31% through_route,
10% loop_member, 19% junction, 6% hub. Frontier sectors have
distinct linear corridors; core is densely interconnected.
Includes generation pipeline (generate, sculpt, patch-core, tune),
seed config, and star-map-plan.md with algorithm documentation.
