A patch is always a region: its bone is `regions.<name>`, in the one place every region's bone lives, and a `meshes` entry for it is refused. See §5 for how to place one |
 | `assemble.cuts` | assemble; `meshes`/`regions` keys may name the new parts too, and must (each is a part like any other) | **authored**, optional (issue #170): `[{from, into, polygon, draw, overlap, under, under_fill}]`, `under` and `under_fill` optional — a plan part's layer cut by a polygon the author draws: the pixels of plan part `from` whose **centre** lies inside `polygon` (even-odd; a centre exactly on an edge is outside) leave `from` and make the new part `into`, colour and alpha, so every pixel of the layer ends in exactly one of the two. `polygon` is `[[x, y], …]`, at least three points, non-negative integer **rig** pixels — the space of `parts.json` and of the patches' boxes. The file that shows the layer in those coordinates is `assemble`'s own `rig/parts/<from>.png`, placed at its `parts.json` `x`, `y` (the PNG's pixel `(i, j)` is rig pixel `(x + i, y + j)`), or `render/recomposite_rig.png`, the whole rig 1:1; the contact sheets (`sheet`) are scaled and carry no coordinates. `draw` is `"back"`, `"front"` or `{"before": "<plan part>"}`, as for a patch (to keep the setup pose, draw the piece immediately in front of `from` — `{"before": "<the plan part after from>"}`, or `"front"` when `from` is the last plan part; `{"before": "<from>"}` draws it behind `from`, which `under` refuses as `ASSEMBLE_UNDER_DRAW` because the fill would hide it). `from` must be a plan part (`CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`; a patch or another cut's piece is refused), `into` a new name (`CONFIG_PART_UNIQUE`), the polygon three or more integer points (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`). The piece's `parts.json` record carries `from`'s `<run>:<tag>` and its own counts, each split from the layer's by where the pixel lies; it is a mesh or a region under its own name, and the coverage rule holds it like a plan part. What the config cannot know the stage refuses: a polygon point past the rig (`ASSEMBLE_CUT_INSIDE`), two cuts of one part sharing a pixel (`ASSEMBLE_CUT_OVERLAP`), a cut that takes none of the layer's opaque pixels or leaves `from` none (`ASSEMBLE_CUT_PIXELS`). `overlap` is required, a non-negative integer of rig pixels with no default (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`): the **band** — the polygon's pixels within `overlap` px of its edge by Chebyshev distance (the polygon's mask less its erosion by a `2 * overlap + 1` square) — stays in `from` as well as going to the piece, so the piece's resampled edge has art under it; the counts stay a strict partition and the band is the base's extra copy, printed on the `cut:` line. At `0` the two abut and `check`'s seam bar judges the edge between them (`CHECK_SEAM_WITHIN_BAR`, §5). A band only covers the edge at rest: a piece that swings well clear of where it was painted shows the hole it leaves, and a thin piece's band shows a ghost of the piece. `under` (issue #193), optional, is the author's image of what lies under the piece: a PNG path relative to the config's directory (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` unless a non-empty string), in rig pixels over the polygon's **bounding box** — the least and greatest polygon x and y, so the image is `max x − min x` by `max y − min y` and its pixel `(i, j)` is rig pixel `(min x + i, min y + j)`. Where the cut removed pixels from `from` — the piece's pixels (alpha above 0) less the band — `from` takes the image's pixel, colour and alpha wherever the image's alpha is at least the alpha the cut removed there (**filled**); elsewhere `from` stays empty there (**left empty**): a transparent pixel is the author's statement that nothing lies under it (the background, or a part drawn behind), and a less opaque one is not half-filled. The image is read nowhere else, so its pixels over the band, over the box outside the polygon or where the layer had no art never change `from`. The `cut:` line then ends `; under <n> px filled, <m> px left empty` (`n + m` is every removed pixel), so an unintended hole is a number in the log, not a guess; the filled pixels count in `from`'s `opaque_px` and `occluded_px` (the piece is drawn over them), never as visible or projected. The stage refuses: a file that is not there (`ASSEMBLE_UNDER_PRESENT`) or not a PNG (`ASSEMBLE_UNDER_DECODES`), an image not exactly the box's size (`ASSEMBLE_UNDER_SIZE`, both sizes given), an image that fills none of the removed pixels — all transparent there, or another file (`ASSEMBLE_UNDER_EMPTY`; to leave the whole hole, drop `under`), and a piece drawn behind `from` (`ASSEMBLE_UNDER_DRAW`: the fill would hide it; draw it `"front"` or `{"before": "<the plan part after from>"}`). Producing the image is the author's, by whatever means; absent, `from` keeps only its band. `under_fill` (issue #360), optional, is the one value `"colour"` (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` on any other): the same pixels are filled and left empty, and a filled pixel takes the image's **colour** at the alpha the cut removed there instead of the image's alpha, so `from`'s alpha is the uncut layer's wherever the image fills and its silhouette does not grow — an opaque image over a soft edge leaves the edge soft. It applies to the part's hidden-art layer as well as to a file; a cut with neither is refused (`ASSEMBLE_UNDER_FILL_SOURCE`). The `cut:` line's filled count then says how many took the colour only: `; under 190 px filled (190 colour only, at the alpha the cut removed), 0 px left empty`. Absent, a filled pixel takes the image's colour and alpha, as above |
+| `assemble.alternates` | assemble, rig, check (`--set`, `--all-sets`) | **authored**, optional (issues #454, #465, #472): `[{name, source?, full?, head?, head_box?, parts?, hides?, cuts?, skeleton?, drawn?}]` — alternate painting sets assembled into `<out>/rig/parts/<set>_<part>.png` (`parts.json` `alternates`), attached on each covered slot in `rig.json` as `<set>_<part>` beside the base attachment, and indexed in `<out>/rig/sets.json` (`rig-parts-sets/1`: `sets.<set>.slots`, `.hides`, `.drawn` when present, and `.threshold: {yaw: 15, pitch: 12}` when the set replaces `face` on a rig with `turn` or `turn`/`tilt` slider animations). `source`, `full` and `head` may instead be given on the CLI with `--alt <name>=<source>:<full>[:<head>]`. `parts` lists the subset of parts the set replaces (default: every part not in `hides`); `hides` lists slots the set hides (`null` in `sets.json`). `skeleton` (a pose file path relative to the config's directory, `{"width": W, "height": H, "points": {…}}` with all 18 body-18 keypoints on the canvas, validated by the same rules as `generation.control.skeleton`: `CONFIG_FILE_PRESENT`, `CONFIG_IS_JSON`, `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`, `CONFIG_KEY_KNOWN`, `CONFIG_KEY_UNIQUE`, `CONFIG_POSE_CANVAS`, `CONFIG_POSE_KEYPOINTS`, `CONFIG_POSE_IN_CANVAS`) or `drawn` (`{<bone>: <worldDegrees>}`, each bone resolved against `bones`, `CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`) declares the posed angles the alternate was painted at (issue #465); when `skeleton` is given, `assemble` derives `drawn` from its 18 keypoints (with `drawn` overriding any bone named in both), records both `skeleton` (scaled by `assemble.rig_scale` to rig px) and `drawn` in `parts.json` `alternates`, and the `rig` stage writes `<set>_*` region and mesh attachments in the bone-local frame of `poseRigBonesForDrawn(bones, drawn)` (weighting limb segments directly from `skeleton`'s joint endpoints when `skeleton` is present) and emits `drawn` in `sets.json` so `rig-pose` and `check --set <name>` / `--all-sets` pose the bones at `drawn` without rotating the already-posed art a second time |
 | `limbs` | assemble (the cut and the caps), rig (through `regions`), check (`LIMB_ONE_BONE`) | **proposed** by `propose --keypoints` (issue #349), then checked: `{<limb>: {segments: [{part, from, bone}, {part, from, bone, joint, range?, cap?, edge?, cap_shape?, cut_band?}, …]}}`, the upper segment first. The rule is *Limbs: cut at their joints* below the table. `part` is a new part (`CONFIG_PART_NAME`, `CONFIG_PART_UNIQUE` against the plan, patches, cuts and every other limb part); `from` a plan part or a cut's piece (`CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`) — the layer the segment's pixels come from, which is cut into the limb parts and is not itself made: a `meshes` or `regions` entry for it is `CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`, and the segments of one limb that take one part are consecutive (`CONFIG_LIMB_FROM_RUN`); `bone` a declared bone, each segment's the child of the one before (`CONFIG_LIMB_BONES_CHAIN`); the upper segment names no `joint`, `range`, `cap`, `edge`, `cap_shape` or `cut_band` (`CONFIG_KEY_KNOWN`), every other names its `joint` (`CONFIG_FIELD_PRESENT`) — the joint is its bone's origin; `range` is `[min, max]` degrees from rest with `min <= 0 <= max` (`CONFIG_LIMB_RANGE`), which `assemble` writes into the lower part's `parts.json` record and `check` poses the joint at — its two ends and its middle — reading the seam there (`SEAM_OVER_RANGE`, issue #360; rig-c needs no rotation limit); `cap` a PNG path relative to the config's directory (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`); `edge` `"feather"` and `cap_shape` `"disc"` (issue #360), each the one value its field takes (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` on any other) — the cut's geometry at that joint, *Limbs: cut at their joints* below; absent, the cut is hard and the cap the layer's half-disc of half the limb's width; `cut_band` a whole number of px, 1 or more (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`), on a segment that takes the segment above's part — between two layers nothing is cut, so a band there is `CONFIG_KEY_KNOWN` — places the cut within that many px of the joint line (issue #360, *Limbs: cut at their joints*); absent, the cut is the joint line. Each limb part is attached like any part — `regions.<part>`, which must be the segment's `bone` (`CONFIG_LIMB_BONE`), or a mesh, which `check` holds to that bone alone (`LIMB_ONE_BONE`). With `limbs`, `assemble` reads `bones` too (`CONFIG_FIELD_PRESENT` without it). Absent, nothing is cut at a joint and no byte of any output moves |
 | `bones` | rig; `propose --from-config` | **proposed** by `propose`, then corrected. A single bone `{name, parent, at, tip?}` or a chain `{chain, parent, points, tip, link_inherit?}` whose links are named `<chain>0 … <chain>n`. Parents come before children. In `rig.json` each link is **turned along its chain** — `rotation` is the direction from its origin to the next link's (the last link's to `tip`) and `length` that distance (issue #73), so a physics constraint added downstream finds a lever; under `--idle-keys ctl` the link's `<link>_ctl` carries the turn and the length and the link sits at local rotation 0 beneath it. A single bone with a `tip` is turned the same way, towards its tip, with that distance as its length (issue #239); a tip on the bone's own origin is refused (`RIG_TIP_DISTINCT`). The five face bones `eye_r`, `eye_l`, `brow_r`, `brow_l` and `mouth` (by name, when one has no tip of its own) are turned to the eye line — the line through the origins of `eye_r` and `eye_l` as `bones` writes them, read image-left to image-right, drawn when parts.json holds both an `eyewhite-r` and an `eyewhite-l` part — so the blink's `scaley` squashes across the eye line on a tilted head; move an eye bone and the line moves with it. With one eyewhite or none, or an eye bone missing, the rig stage's `face axis:` line says so and they keep the page's axes. A bone under a face bone keeps the face's axis. With the line, `rig.json` also declares `invariants.axes` — one entry, `"face"`, through `eye_r` and `eye_l`, holding the turned face bones (and their controls) — so rig-c's gate holds the build to the line; the line is the one rigc draws through the same two bones, so the tolerance is only the float floor — the largest gap the emitted (float32) bones have to it, rounded up to 6 places plus one 6-place unit — and the `face axis:` line prints it. With the line the rig stage also adds `head_up` (issue #250): a slotless bone under `head`, at head's origin, turned to the eye line + 90 degrees and as long as the eye midpoint lies from head's origin along that axis — the head's frame, which a rule that needs it reads; `head` keeps its own frame, so no key on it or under it changes meaning, and a config bone of that name is refused (`RIG_HEAD_UP_NAME_FREE`). A face bone with its own `tip` is held too (issue #258), in a second entry, `"face_tips"`, when its tip lies along the line within whole-pixel rounding — a tip written in whole pixels sits at most sqrt(2)/2 px off the point of the line it stands for, so its direction may sit up to asin((sqrt(2)/2) / length) degrees off — with its tolerance measured the same way; a tip further off is the bone's own axis, and the `face axis:` line names it with its gap and that bound. A failure is rig-c's `A51_BONES_LIE_ALONG_THEIR_DECLARED_AXIS` line, which names the bone and the fix (rig-c's `docs/AUTHORING.md` §3.7 and §5.2); with no line no entry is written and A51 reports SKIP. Every region on a turned bone is turned back, so the setup pose does not move. Any other single bone keeps world rotation 0; one whose parent is a link is turned back upright. A single bone may declare `inherit` (issue #348): what it takes from its parent's transform, one of rig-c's own mode names exactly as rig-c's table spells them — `normal`, `onlyTranslation`, `noRotationOrReflection`, `noScale`, `noScaleOrReflection` (rig-c's `RigBone.inherit`) — written to that bone in `rig.json` as declared; any other spelling, `"NoScale"` included (the runtime would fold its first letter; nothing here folds or maps), is refused (`CONFIG_BONE_INHERIT`), and a chain takes no `inherit` (`CONFIG_KEY_KNOWN`). A chain may instead declare `link_inherit` (issue #369), an object mapping its own expanded link names to those same modes, for example `"link_inherit": {"leg_r1": "noScale"}`. Only the named link changes; omitted links inherit normally. A key outside this chain is `CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`, with this chain's valid link names in the detail; a non-object or non-string mode is `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`, and another mode spelling is `CONFIG_BONE_INHERIT`. The mode is forwarded to the expanded link, or to its control under `--idle-keys ctl`, by the same rule as a single bone. This is an authored opt-in: `propose` does not add it. Its setup rotation is the turn from where rig-c's own poser puts the bone with no rotation of its own under that mode, so it still stands upright (or along its tip) at the setup pose. Where the idle gives the bone a `<bone>_ctl`, the mode goes on the control: the control is the bone the parent's rotation reaches, and the bone under it inherits normally, so the idle's keys moved onto the control still turn it. A foot that does not take its shin's rotation (`noRotationOrReflection` or `onlyTranslation`) keeps its shoe level while the leg is posed (`FEET_STAY_LEVEL`, §7); which mode is the author's. `noScale` keeps a shin or shoe's shape under a scaled parent but still takes the parent's rotation: a shoe that must also stay level needs a separate rotation constraint, for example a transform constraint from an unrotated bone. This does not change the proposed feet's existing inheritance or `FEET_STAY_LEVEL` default. An automatic mesh weighted through a bone with a mode other than `normal` gets no derived amplitude (its row names the bone) and no residual envelope (rig-c's `SKINNING_RANGE_UNSUPPORTED`). Absent, `rig.json` carries no `inherit` and no byte moves |
 | `meshes.<part>` | rig | **proposed**, then corrected. Exactly one of `grid` (the lattice: cell size, px — what `propose` writes: by default one spacing for the figure, round(H / 37) rig px with H the height of every part's box together, a part whose tenth of its short side is already coarser keeping that, and under `propose --grid-rule part` the reference's tenth of the part's short side clamped to 5..36, issue #265), `contour` (the outline mode, authored; the next row and "A contour mesh" below) or `auto` (the automatic mode, authored; "An automatic mesh" below) — two, or none, is `CONFIG_MESH_MODE`. In every mode: `r` (added to every distance before weighting: `w = 1/(d + r)²`), `segments` (a chain name, a bone name with a `tip`, or `[bone, [x0,y0], [x1,y1]]`), and, **authored**, optional, `exponent` (issue #161): a number above 0 that replaces the 2 in that rule, `w = 1/(d + r)^exponent` — a larger one hands each vertex more fully to its nearest bone; absent is 2 and changes no byte, a value that is not a number above 0 is `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` at `meshes.<part>.exponent`, and a declared one is echoed as `exponent` in the mesh's `mesh_report.json` row; the exponent is the distance rule's, so declared beside `rule: "heat"` it is refused (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` at `meshes.<part>.exponent`). The segment list is the one authored decision about a layer: which bones may pull it. The slot's bone is the first segment's. Optional `rule` (issue #161): `"distance"` — the rule above, and what an absent `rule` means (every byte is the same) — or `"heat"`, bone heat over the part's own silhouette, in every mode: the lattice's art (alpha above 8, less any island a declared `stray` left out) with holes filled, or for `contour` and `auto` the silhouette their outline is traced from (that mode's art — alpha above 8 for `contour`, alpha 1 and above for `auto` — less any island a declared `stray` left out, holes filled, grown by its `margin`); each bound bone's sources are the silhouette pixels whose centre lies within 0.75 px of its segment (a pixel two bones reach goes to the nearer, a tie to the first listed), held at 1 for that bone and 0 for the others; the field is solved by row-major Gauss–Seidel over-relaxation to a sweep change under 1e-7 within 20000 sweeps; a vertex reads the nearest silhouette pixel and takes the same cap and floor (and `regions`) as the distance rule; `r` is not read. The mesh's `mesh_report.json` row gains `heat` (the constants, each bone's sources and sweeps, the residual). Any other value is `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`; a bound bone with no source pixel is `RIG_HEAT_BONE_SOURCE`, an island no bone has a source in `RIG_HEAT_ISLAND_SOURCE`, a solve past its sweep bound `RIG_HEAT_CONVERGED` — none is weighted 0. The rule is chosen per mesh, so `RIG_HEAT_BONE_SOURCE` names three remedies: move the segment onto the art, take the bone out of `segments`, or keep this part on the distance rule — the one to take when the bone anchors the part from outside its art (a torso bone under a neck), since the first moves a bone another part placed and the second drops the anchor (issue #303). On a lattice, `RIG_HEAT_ISLAND_SOURCE` on an island that is dust — at most 4 px and at most 0.1 % of the part's art px, `mesh-draft`'s line — names `meshes.<part>.stray` and the figure that leaves it out, with the value declared; an island above that line keeps the segment remedy, a real piece being a real authoring question |

A list of constraints in **rig-c's own rig-spec shape** (`RigConstraint`: `ik`, `transform`, `path`, `physics`, `slider` — rig-c's `src/rig.ts` documents every field), in the order rigc applies them. The loader checks only what this package owns: each entry is an object with a `type` rigc names (`CONFIG_CONSTRAINT_TYPE_KNOWN`) and a non-empty `name`, unique within its kind as rigc finds constraints (`CONFIG_CONSTRAINT_NAME_UNIQUE`; an ik and a transform may share one); every bone it names — `bones`, an ik's `target`, a transform's `source`, a physics or slider constraint's `bone` — is a bone `bones` declares, a chain link as `<chain><i>` (`CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`); the bone a constraint follows does not sit under a bone it drives (`CONFIG_CONSTRAINT_TARGET_DETACHED`). Every other field (`mix`, `softness`, `properties`, a path's `slot`, a slider's `animation`) and every value is rigc's to accept or refuse at the rig stage's gate, in rigc's words (`RIG_RIGC_GREEN`) — an ik's `bones` as a shape too: from rig-c 2.15.0 rigc refuses an ik over more than two bones, or over a pair whose second bone is not the first's child (issue #103; this loader refused both itself until then). A note and an `x-` record may ride on an entry; the rig stage leaves them out of what it hands rigc. Under the default `--idle-keys ctl` a two-bone ik whose child link the idle keys is split by that link's control, and rigc refuses the pair: run `rig --idle-keys direct` or `build --idle-keys direct` (the rig stage adds that sentence, naming the flag on the command that ran, to rigc's line; `build` forwards it to its rig stage, issue #95).

Every other stop rule — non-negative bounds, each stopped link written by a constraint, `against` not under the stopped chain, the aim not degenerate, `\|rest\| + outward <= 180°` (`RIG_STOP_BOUNDS`) — is rigc's to accept or refuse at the rig stage's gate, in rigc's words (`RIG_RIGC_GREEN`). **Rising-limb / prone geometry (issue #447):** rig-c's `expandStops` aims `<chain>_rest` from `links[0]`'s setup origin at `<chain>_touch` (`at` in `against`'s local frame) and clamps `<link>_d` inside `[rest − inward, rest + outward]`; Spine wraps rotation at `±180°`, so `\|rest\| + outward <= 180°` is required (`RIG_STOP_BOUNDS`).

Stop against the descending thigh (`leg_<s0>`), set `links` to start at a link whose root sits above `<chain>_touch`, or omit the stop when the rising shin sits outside the hanging chain's sweep; `propose --from-config` prints `LINT stop on <chain> …` with the exact coordinates and angles when `<chain>_touch` lies above `links[0]`'s root or `\|rest\| + outward > 180°`. For every stopped link `<link>`, the rig stage moves any slot on `<link>`, any mesh weight on `<link>`, and any bone whose parent is `<link>` (a branched cloth tree's branches hanging from `<trunk_last>`, before `--idle-keys ctl` adds `<bone>_ctl` and before `turn` adds `turn_<part>_<bone>`) onto `<link>_d`, the drawn link bone rig-c's `expandStops` creates at `<link>`'s setup frame to carry the clamped rotation.
