+## Skeletal figures (v1.6)
+
+Bones, grown from code like everything else — no asset pipeline. `humanoid()` and
+`quadruped()` build rigged figures (procedural segments bound to a small skeleton);
+`w.figure(rig, opts)` uploads one and returns a handle; `fig.pose(walkPose(t))` bends it
+in the vertex stage — scene, shadows and water reflections alike. `walkPose` / `trotPose`
+ship as procedural cycles; `composePose` takes any per-joint rotations you write.
+
 ## Roadmap
 
-Skeletal figures. The chart editions stay lean.
+The engine's four founding frontiers are landed. What comes next, the scenes will ask for. The chart editions stay lean.
