table_baroque, chair_modernist, desk_scifi (furniture, with mask sidecars) and lion_statue (props, non-tintable) enter client/assets/models/ under the category-first convention, byte- identical to the spike sources (MD5-verified; spikes/ untouched, vw_beetle excluded per the Q-067 deferral). Postprocess verified already-applied by Blender node-graph inspection (mat_primary, roughness=1.0/specular=0.0 shader inputs — the convenience properties read stale defaults, the graph is authoritative), so not re-run. All four registered in manifest.json at 'planned' with footprint_tiles [1,1] (a flagged judgment call — normalized spike geometry erases real-world scale; the brief ruling goes to araminta in review). In-engine proof: clean headless import + ResourceLoader load + instantiate for all four. Discovery documented in conventions.md §2 + glb-gen SKILL.md: Godot externalizes the GLB's embedded texture as a <model>_Image_0.png sidecar referenced by binary UID — it must be committed or loading breaks with an undiscoverable dependency error.

Asset Pipeline Index
Centralized tracking for all production assets across pipelines. Each pipeline has its own index, palette (style bible), and per-category asset tables.
Pipelines
| Pipeline | Index | Palette | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audio | audio/README.md | audio/palette.md | Active — Sprint 7 |
| Visual | visual/README.md | visual/palette.md | Active — catalog + style bible instantiated (T-1050/T-1052) |
| Video | video/README.md | video/palette.md | Stub |
Structure
docs/assets/
README.md # This file — master index
_templates/
audio.md # Row template + detailed entry template for audio
sprite.md # LEGACY object-sprite row template (D-244 retired sprites; model/texture/artwork rows are inline in each visual/*.md file, T-1050)
video.md # Row template + detailed entry template for video
asset-brief.md # One-page per-class brief template (scope/visual reference/naming/gen path/acceptance) — T-1049
briefs/ # Per-asset-class briefs gating T-961's child stories (T-1049) + deferred.md formal deferral note

Conventions
- One .md per category — asset table with one row per asset, detailed entries below for complex items
- palette.md per pipeline — the style bible. Aesthetic baseline, theme, generation approach.
- Status values:
planned|in-progress|placeholder|final - Templates:
_templates/{type}.md— row format + detailed entry format - Asset files live in
client/assets/{type}/— these docs track design and production metadata - Category splitting: When a category file grows too long, split by domain (e.g.,
furniture-station.md,furniture-colony.md)
Cross-References
- Decision files:
decisions/(D-038 audio scope, D-033 entity colors, D-019 camera angle) - Art direction workshop:
docs/workshops/art-direction-mood-board/ - Sprint briefings:
docs/sprints/sprint-N/{team}.md - Per-class asset briefs: briefs/ — station walls, rural walls, doors, floors, furniture/props, each gating a T-961 child story (T-1049); briefs/deferred.md records the formal deferral for lamp posts / TVs / billboards / barns (T-1051) + cars (Q-067).
