Tyre: D-244 now references its precedent (D-148 3D camera / D-149 live 3D characters — D-244 completes that pivot for objects + assets) and reconciles the 5 sprite-era decisions it touched, all amended 2026-06-17: - D-043: 'not 3D' / Light2D scoped to overlay layers; in-world is 3D. - D-044: sprite footprint retired (sim occupancy + visual hierarchy survive). - D-049: z-stack logical model survives; sprite/CanvasLayer implementation language retired. - D-066: dual-scale coordinate model + 2x2 geometry minimum survive; sprite-footprint language legacy. Hoshe (doc QA): - D-244 broken cross-file anchors fixed ([D-159]->scope.md, [D-241]->process.md). - renderer/README: bare [D-244] linked; D-019->D-148 camera note; legacy banner over the object-sprite workflow sections; resolution-chain output path qualified. - docs/assets/_templates/sprite.md + README: marked the template legacy object-sprite schema (model/texture/artwork template TBD).

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 |

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)
