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.

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 | Stub |
| 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)

README.md # Audio pipeline index — categories, status summary

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
