During an RMB path-follow the body yaw locks to the leg direction (rig
commit_body_to_motion, from interpolated velocity — immune to SetFacing
interleaving between throttled steps). The mouse instead drives a layered
look-at: LookAtModifier3D pair on Head (±70°) + spine_02 (±30° torso twist
for looking far lateral/behind — past their sum the character physically
cannot look further without turning). Forward axis measured from the
armature rest pose (+Z), not guessed. Influence fades in/out on follow
start/end. Pure client presentation per D-249; SetFacing still rides the
wire, so the server vision cone follows the mouse while walking — the
character looks where the player points.

Known interiors open at a glance (bottom walls low) AND the sightline
corridor punches through unexplored exterior walls; C still cycles modes.
sandbox_constants.gd also carries the path-preview/gesture knobs for the
click-to-move feature landing in the next commit (single tuning file).

Live-session finding: the half-disc cut bit nearby side walls while leaving
the wall actually occluding the character at full height, with dome-contour
scallops across the two-row walls. Rewritten as a sightline corridor: walls
within CUT_CORRIDOR_HALF_W of the character's x, camera-side, out to a
pitch-derived reach (WALL_H / tan(pitch) — how far a wall can still occlude
in ortho; ~4.3 m at -30, breathes with the T-cycle tilt) drop to the stub.
FollowCamera3D exposes pitch_deg(); reach clamped 0.5-16 m.

New SR_LIVE sandbox scene: CharacterVisual composited in a 3D greybox world
derived from server snapshots. Per-leg constant-velocity interpolation keyed
to the stance throttle, 'server feet / client eyes' facing (wire octant while
moving, client aim octant idle), cadence-synced gait state machine on
AnimationPlayer custom blends, D-148 orthographic follow camera (-30deg
default, T-cycle presets), sim-space grid shader, camera-side wall cutaway,
accumulating never-evict tile store with four-state visibility tint.
Additive seams only: InputMapper.facing_angle_provider (2D path unchanged),
CharacterVisual.play_animation blend_time param + get_animation_player().
Visual harness gains per-scenario scene field + SR_AUTOPILOT input scripting.
210 new gdUnit assertions across five suites; verified live (230/230 total,
clean smoke, screenshot at .cache/screenshots/locomotion_idle_live.png).
