`reach character {logo, strip-glb, qa, qa-analyze}` replaces make_logo.py,
glb_strip_utility_nodes.py, analyze_captures.py and the run-garment-qa bash
driver. The QA configs and method doc move beside the domain (qa_configs/,
GARMENT_QA.md), and `qa` takes a config name (`reach character qa hoodie_modern`)
or a path.
Parity, from baselines taken before anything moved:
- the logo PNG is byte-identical
- a synthetic GLB with three real utility nodes strips to identical bytes
(the committed bodies strip 0 nodes, so they proved nothing)
- re-analyzing a cached capture set gives a byte-identical report.json and
summary
run-garment-qa is rewritten, not wrapped (D-263). Its decisions — which config,
which Godot ($GODOT, then ~/bin/godot4, then PATH), and whether xvfb-run is
needed — are capture_plan(), pinned by tooling/test_character.py without
launching Godot. The bash exit codes are kept: 2 for a missing config, 3 for
no Godot.
The T-1271 domain map was wrong about this domain. Six of its ten files import
bpy: convert_outfit, inspect_glb, check_hair_symmetry, check_icosphere,
render_quaternius_test and test_quaternius_raw. They are Blender payloads and
joined the carve-out as blender_* (41 payloads now). The 22 existing payloads'
docstrings still cited tooling/garment-fit/ from before T-1273; fixed.
Archived, with reasons in tooling/archive/README.md:
- setup_clothing_metadata.py wrote coverage data for five garments that no
longer exist in the 24-garment wardrobe
- wipe-bodies.sh ran raw DELETEs on systems.db
segment_reference_distribution.md moved to docs/assets/visual/.
Behaviour changes:
- The QA analyzer exited 0 whatever it found, though its own README says
clip-through "is the real defect and it gates". qa and qa-analyze now exit 1
on clip-through, and the remedy names --min-pixels (Wave 1/2 were accepted
at 150). The cached peasant set has 33 failures at the default 8 px.
- glb strip re-reported the same nodes as stripped on every re-run and
rewrote an unchanged file: it left them as orphans and then found them
again. Only nodes still linked into the graph count now, and a first pass
writes the same bytes as before.

35 payloads move to tooling/scripts/blender/ and stay outside package scope.
They run under Blender's bundled Python, which cannot see the repo venv, so
they physically cannot import tooling.core — holding them to the D-263 contract
would either fail the gate forever or force the contract to be weakened for
everyone, and the second is how a gate stops meaning anything.
Count verified by import rather than filename: 33 import bpy/bmesh directly,
and the two that do not are still payloads per their own usage lines.
garment-fit/make_logo.py is the one genuine non-payload and stays for T-1290.
The bash wrapper is retired rather than kept. Keeping it would have put the
install-resolution logic in two places, which is the duplication T-1286 had
just finished collapsing three copies of. domains/blender/service.py owns the
decisions — resolve_blender (native beats flatpak, ordering preserved),
resolve_payload, absolutise — and only run_payload performs. test_blender.py
pins all of them without launching Blender, which matters here more than
usual: the thing being launched is a 200 MB GUI application that writes GLBs.
`reach blender run` takes a registered payload name OR a path to any script,
because the wrapper served both — the spikes and the glb-gen skill hand it
one-off scripts of their own. An unknown name enumerates all 35 and exits 2.
The exclusion now defends itself. check_carve_out_stays_carved fails if
`scripts` is added to PACKAGE_ROOTS, if the payload directory empties (an empty
exclusion proves nothing), or if an __init__.py appears there (which would make
the payloads importable — the coupling the carve-out exists to prevent). All
three arms mutation-proved.

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).
