+## Before you ask, plan or show
+
+- **Projection.** Ask and record it per [CHECKS.md § Projection and ground](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/CHECKS.md#projection-and-ground).
+- **Head turn is a rig decision.** Ask `turn` at rigging-interview: fixed view
+  or head turn with depth. Record the chosen route and reason in the `turn`
+  plan step text. Default to per-part depth: parts 2.37.0's `docs/DEPTH.md`
+  describes it as better by eye. Run `depth-prepare`, the supplied model,
+  `depth-apply`, then `rig`. Retain the prepare manifest with
+  `rig-version --depth-manifest`; registration binds it, `depth-report.json`
+  and rig's `depth_sheets.json` by SHA-256.
+  The layer alternative requires sheets already retained in the accepted
+  assembled parts, bound alongside the existing `config.depth` images:
+  `assemble` consumes `config.depth`, so declaring it after acceptance cannot
+  add sheets. Do not reassemble accepted parts here. Existing sheets need no
+  model manifest.
+- **Camera options.** Post decides fixed framing or camera-box moves. Timed
+  head-turn dials, plate parallax and take-wide gaze remain unavailable in direction.
+- **Seamless loop on a rig with physics.** A looping take that starts at
+  source 0 begins with springs at rest and ends with them moving, so hair and
+  ribbons jump at the seam. Map the take onto a source interval that starts
+  after whole periods of the clip; ten were enough on the measured rig. The
+  number depends on the rig's damping, so compare the first and last frames
+  before choosing it.
+- **Upscale first** a painting smaller than the rig needs (SOURCE.md, step 2 below).
+- **The crux is a bar.** Before rigging, name every risk band, count background
+  or doubled pixels over every frame and both physics/breath extremes, and
+  report the maximum and its frame. Cover every band crossing another bone.
+- **Appearance needs a person**, not a step bar: [CHECKS.md § Appearance bar wording](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/CHECKS.md#appearance-bar-wording).
+- **Nothing unnamed.** Add no unnamed motion, chain or physics. Read references
+  for what they show; ask about anything more.
+- **Re-run first, cut last**, never a polygon in code or config: the ladder in
+  SOURCE.md, step 2 below.
+- **A full-screen scene is a CG build.** For `rig_type` `fullscreen.*`, each
+  rig version declares the gates in [CHECKS.md § CG gates](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/CHECKS.md#cg-gates). Refusals are the art's to fix.
+- **The bust is meshed** unless the `meshes` guide excludes it with a reason
+  ([CHECKS.md § The bust at meshes](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/CHECKS.md#the-bust-at-meshes)).
+- **Overlaps.** A piece over a part with its own animation (glasses over
+  eyelids) holds none of that part's pixels, or the animation shows its copy.
+- **Pairs.** Measure left/right symmetry against the painting before calling a
+  pair uneven ([CRAFT.md G8](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/CRAFT.md#for-the-gates-not-the-interview)).
+- **Look before the user does**, at native resolution and every crux boundary:
+  a whole-figure |composite − painting| map, each component by box/part and
+  status (in the painting / fixed / left, why). Use the true part stack; crop on
+  white and mid-grey to show light fringes. Check beyond reviewer-chosen boxes.
+
+## What to read, and why
+
+1. **Before the interview**: INTERVIEW.md; CRAFT.md (waypoint defaults);
+   parts AUTHORING §3, *`config.json`, field by field*;
+   [CHECKS.md](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/CHECKS.md) before a sign-off.
+2. **Before `seethrough` and `assemble`**: SOURCE.md, split/cut order:

+   [allowed cuts](https://github.com/rig-c/create/blob/main/docs/SOURCE.md#where-a-cut-is-allowed);

+Ask `turn` at rigging-interview, against the accepted parts: “Should this rig
+keep the painted view, or turn its head with depth?” Offer **Fixed view**,
+**Head turn**, **Other** and **Let the agent decide**. Fixed view adds no depth
+step. Head turn records only `{ "mode": "depth" }`; the agent records the chosen
+route and reason in the `turn` plan step text. Draft that step in phase `rig`,
+resting on `turn`, before the steps that run rig. Its bar reads the retained
+producer reports, and rigging-interview approval covers it. The default
+per-part sequence runs `depth-prepare`, a separately supplied model (face
+normals, scalar depth for the other parts), then `depth-apply`; the ordinary
+`rig` writes the consumed `depth_sheets.json`. Read parts' `docs/DEPTH.md` for
+the producer contract. `rig-version --depth-manifest <file>` retains the
+prepare manifest with the applied report and rig sheet manifest; all are bound
+by bytes and spec, without redoing producer measurements.
+
+Post `camera_depth` asks only about fixed framing or a camera-box path such as
+a push-in. Historical question text and citations keep their original bytes.
+Timed head-turn dials, relative plate parallax and take-wide gaze remain
+unavailable in direction; do not promise them in plan bars.
