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`).

 | `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 |
-| `meshes.<part>.influence` | rig | **authored**, optional (issue #378), a mode beside `grid`, `contour` and `auto`: `{cell, radius, across, max, shape}`, every field required, none defaulted. rig-c's `segments` lattice over the part at `cell` px, each vertex pulled by every link of the mesh's `segments` within `radius` px of it — a pull that falls to exactly 0 at `radius` (`shape` `"linear"` or `"smooth"`), across the `segments` entries or only within the nearest one (`across`), the strongest `max` kept. The lattice and the shares are computed by rig-c's own promised functions (`buildSegmentsLattice`, `segmentDistance`, `influenceShares`), so the rule is rig-c's (its AUTHORING §3.4.7), and the mesh is written with explicit weights like every other mode. `radius` is a length on this part: the rig stage measures the farthest lattice vertex's distance to its nearest link and refuses a radius at or under it (`RIG_INFLUENCE_REACH`), naming the distance. `r`, `exponent`, `rule`, `influences`, `stray` and `ribs` belong to the distance rule or another mode and are refused beside it (`CONFIG_INFLUENCE_MODE`).

Measured on the cloth fixture and the public `wind` example (#513: 8 covered parts, `render --folds` with the physics on under wind and a hip sway of 8° and 30°): a radius just above the floor folds **more** than the lattice (one skirt went from 0 to 55 folded frames), and a larger one is **not** safer (one fringe folded again at about 3–4× its farthest distance); +2 to +6 cells read 0 on every part, +2 at the edge. No ceiling is drafted, and the 3 is a hypothesis until a third subject — state `radius` in the recipe to keep your own. `r`, `exponent`, `rule`, `influences`, `stray` and `ribs` belong to the distance rule or another mode and are refused beside it (`CONFIG_INFLUENCE_MODE`).

Coverage and overshoot read the silhouettes' triangles; a bridge's area is in `meshArea` and in the row's `contour.bridges` (`islands`, `units`, and per join `unit`, `span` — its two crossing edges, px — `area`, `vertices`, `pair`; and `faint`, only when an island was left out as faint), and the row's `params` echoes `bridges`, both only when declared; `art_coverage` counts a faint island's pixels as art not covered. Absent, a second island is refused as below and no byte moves; on one island it writes the mesh the undeclared entry writes. Any other value is `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`; beside `ribs` it is `CONTOUR_PARAMETER` (a rib runs across one outline); a join no pair makes is `CONTOUR_BRIDGE`. A bridge stretches with whatever pulls its two ends apart, so it belongs on a part whose pieces ride one bone — the only case `mesh-draft` drafts; `regions` — local deformation regions, each `{name, shape, bone, spacing, band}` with `shape` `"circle"` (`cx, cy, r`) or `"polygon"` (`points`, 3 or more): `bone` is the region's control bone (any bone `bones` declares), `spacing` the interior spacing inside the region and its band, `band` the width the bone's weight falls across. Every length and position is **rig px**, like every other in the config; the part image is the rig less `(x − 4, y − 4)` (its box less the pad), a translation, so a length is the same number in both. A region's `cx`, `cy`, `r`, `band` and `points` are multiples of 1/256 px (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` otherwise); region names are unique per mesh (`CONFIG_REGION_NAME_UNIQUE`). `bust` (issue #475) — `{apex_r, apex_l, cleavage, alpha?: 0.22, clearance?: 3.8, bone_r?: "boob_r", bone_l?: "boob_l", spacing?: 14}`: derives the two circular regions `bust_r` and `bust_l` from the three rig-px landmarks `apex_r`, `apex_l` and `cleavage` (multiples of 1/256 px, `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` otherwise; projecting the torso midline `neck → chest → hip` onto `apex_r → apex_l` misses the cleavage by 14–93 px across all five calibrated 3/4-yaw characters, so all three points are required). With `d_s = \|cleavage − apex_s\|` and `D = \|apex_r − apex_l\|`, each side `s ∈ {r, l}` is placed at `cx = apex_s[0]`, `cy = apex_s[1]` with outer radius `R_s = d_s − clearance`, core radius `r_s = round(alpha × R_s)` and `band_s = round(R_s) − r_s` (`alpha` = 0.22, `clearance` = 3.8 px, `spacing` = 14 px, `bone_r` = `"boob_r"`, `bone_l` = `"boob_l"` by default, reproducing the five calibrated example characters within `<= 6 px`, max `\|ΔR\| = 5 px`, max `\|Δr\| = 3 px`).

Each link of the chain gets a row of vertices across the part at its origin and at `stations` points evenly between its origin and its end (`stations`, a whole number, 0 or more, required; a chain of L links carries L × (stations + 1) ribs), each rib a row of vertices across the part, kept as a row of locked edges; the rule is "Ribs along a chain" under "A contour mesh". Absent places none and changes no byte. Refused: a lattice mesh with ribs (`CONFIG_RIBS_MODE` — its vertices are its grid's corners), a key that is not one of the mesh's chains (`CONFIG_NAME_RESOLVES`), an object naming no chain or a `stations` that is not a whole number from 0 (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`); at the rig stage `CONTOUR_RIB_ART`, `CONTOUR_RIB_LINK`, `CONTOUR_RIB_CROSSING`, `CONTOUR_RIB_EDGE` (the contour refusals). The mesh's `mesh_report.json` row gains `ribs` — the declaration, the ribs placed and the vertices they hold — and its contour report (the source's, in `auto`) lists each rib's vertices |
 | `meshes.<part>.influences` | rig | **authored**, optional (issue #284), in the `grid` and `contour` modes: `{maxInfluences?, floor?}`, at least one. `maxInfluences` — the most bones that pull one vertex, a whole number 1 or more, or `null`, no cap (every bone the mesh's `segments` name; `null` is the config's spelling of a bound declared absent, as in `maxOvershoot` and `weightJump`); absent is 4. `floor` — `"cut"` (the capped shares normalised, any under 0.03 dropped, the rest normalised again; what an absent `floor` means) or `"continuous"` (0.03 subtracted from every capped share, those at or below 0 dropped, the rest normalised again, so a bone fades out of a vertex instead of leaving it in one step). Absent, the mesh is weighted at 4 and the cut and every byte is the one written before the field existed; declared, it applies under either `rule`, and is echoed as `influences` in the mesh's `mesh_report.json` row. `propose` never writes it, and `mesh-draft` carries a lattice's declaration to the contour candidate it drafts. A cap that is not a whole number 1 or more or `null` (the string `"none"` included), another `floor`, or an object naming neither is `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`; a vertex the declared cut leaves with no bone is `RIG_INFLUENCES_KEPT`; beside `auto` it is `CONFIG_INFLUENCES_MODE` (that mode's cap and floor are `auto.influences`).

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`). Whenever `<chain>_touch` lies **above** `links[0]`'s root in rig pixels (`ty < y0`, i.e. higher Spine `y` — e.g. stopping a hanging cloth chain against a rising shin `leg_<s1>` in a prone or kneeling pose where the knee sits below `links[0]` and the ankle above it, so positive `at[0]` walks upward along the shin past `links[0]`'s root), `rest` lands in the upper half-plane (`\|rest\| > 90°`) and `\|rest\| + outward` exceeds `180°`. 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.

 | `turn` | rig (adds the turn control) | **proposed** only with `propose --full`/`--head` (issue #251), then corrected: `{pivot, depths, deform?, band?, radius?, surface?: {radius?}, head?: {pivot?, radius?}}`. `depths` holds, per part, the See-through layer's `depth_median` the part came from (larger = further back), read from the run the part was assembled from; a `painting:` patch has none and is not carried. A rider (issue #271) — a part from an `eyewhite`, `irides`, `eyelash`, `eyebrow`, `nose` or `mouth` layer — is drafted at the `face` part's depth, 0.001 nearer when parts.json draws it after the face and 0.001 further when before: See-through makes no depth of its own for the eye group (it cuts them from one depth map of the combined eyes) and clamps nose and mouth to the face's median − 0.001, and the two runs' own medians for these layers disagreed by up to 0.47 and swapped their order against the face. Every other layer — ears, headwear and earwear included — keeps its own median. With no `face` part, or more than one, the riders keep their own and a note says so. One note lists each part's depth and where it came from; a carrier the other run places more than 10 % of `pivot − nearest` away gets a note naming both values and the run read — the two runs are not reconciled. `pivot` is the depth that stays put; `propose` drafts the mean of the parts' depths weighted by `opaque_px`, the one depth at which the painted pixels' centroid does not slide under the dial. The rig stage adds a bone `turn` under `root` at its origin that nothing keys — its local x is the dial, in rig px — and carries each part by `(pivot − depth) / (pivot − nearest depth)` of it: the nearest part all of it, a part behind the pivot the other way, a part at the pivot not at all. Each part rides leaf twins (`turn_<part>_<bone>`, an identity child of every bone its slot and weights bind) moved by one `transform` constraint (`turn_<part>`, after the config's own); the idle's keys, the `<bone>_ctl` controls and a physics constraint stay on the bones, and the dial moves none of them. Optional `deform` (`Partial<FaceDeformFractions>`, issue #436) overrides the Set B ×2.5 face surface deformation table (`FACE_DEFORM_FRACTIONS`, checked against `FACE_DEFORM_RANGES` by `CONFIG_TURN_DEFORM_RANGE`); when `applyFaceSurfaceDeform` runs on a rig whose `motion` carries `tilt` or `turn` slider `derive` keys, it requires `config.turn` (`CONFIG_TURN_REQUIRED`, issue #478; `propose --full`/`--head` drafts it), promotes `face` on `head` (or `turn_face_head` when `turn` is declared) to the uneven 5×5 grid mesh, keys `face`, `hair_front` and `hair_back` deform timelines and ear/topknot tracks from `evalPitchFaceSurface` and `evalYawFaceSurface`, and samples the same deform field across each `features` member's rest span (`featRx = (24 / 106) · W`, `featRy = (12 / 128) · H`) with its depth fraction `z / zRef` as the field's angle input and chord foreshortening (`scalex` narrowing on the leading side and widening on the trailing side, `scaley` on pitch) so every feature's bounding box stays inside the deformed face plate across the rated band (issue #468). On yaw (`issue #479`), `evalYawFaceSurface` evaluates a **cylinder projection** (`cylinderYawDx`: `Δx(x, θ, R) = R · (sin(clamp(arcsin(clamp(x / R, −1, 1)) − θ, −π/2, π/2)) − clamp(x / R, −1, 1))`) of radius `R` (`turnSurfaceRadius`: `turn.surface.radius ?? turn.radius ?? turn.head.radius`, positive rig px checked by `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`, defaulting to half the face plate's opaque width `W / 2`) tapered by a cubic Hermite outline weight (`wOutline = 1` for `\|ux\| <= 0.7`, reaching `0` at `\|ux\| = 1.0`) so features slide across a fixed outline (`iris` shift within `±2%` of `cylinderYawDx`), the trailing cheek strip widens (`>= 1.54×` at `±15°`), and the leading jaw edge holds fixed (`0 px` shift) unless explicit horizontal `turn.deform` overrides (`turn_mid_x`, `turn_lead_compress_x`, `turn_trail_shift_x`) request the flat yaw table. On yaw (`issue #478`), `applyFaceSurfaceDeform` also derives a **head-only pivot** (`headTurnPivot`: `turn.head.pivot` when authored, otherwise the `opaque_px`-weighted mean of `depths[part]` across the head parts `DEFAULT_HEAD_TURN_PARTS` — `face`, `hair_front`, `hair_back`, `ear_r`, `ear_l`, `hairpin` — from `parts.json`, falling back to `turn.pivot`) so a forward torso or arm in `turn.depths` does not pull the head's rotation axis in front of `face`: `hair_back` (`depth_median > headPivot`, negative `headTurnFraction`) and `hairpin` behind `headPivot` translate opposite to the face's turn (`dx = s · turn_face_center_x · W · (headPivot − depth) / (headPivot − nearestHeadDepth)`), emerging on the trailing side to compensate for the leading-cheek foreshortening and keeping the combined head silhouette width near-constant across `±15°` without any same-sign `turn_hair_back_cheek_x` term. Optional `band` (`number` or `{yaw?, pitch?}`, positive degrees, issue #472) declares the rig's rated face turn band (default `FACE_RATED_BAND`: `yaw <= 15°`, `pitch <= 12°`); declaring a `turn.band` or a `motion.animations_from` `turn`/`tilt` `derive.degrees` above `±15°` yaw or `±12°` pitch without an `assemble.alternates` entry that replaces `face` is refused (`CONFIG_FACE_BAND_EXCEEDED`), and on a single-plate rig `applyFaceSurfaceDeform` adds self-targeting transform constraints `yaw_clamp` (`[-15, 15]`) and `pitch_clamp` (`[-12, 12]`) ahead of the slider constraints so driving `yaw` or `pitch` beyond the rated band clamps at the boundary. At rest: with `turn` declared, no pixel differs by more than 1 level at dial 0 (not byte-identical; the cause is float noise in the identity child bones, and the constraints add nothing); without `turn`, byte-identical. Neither `pivot` nor `depths` has a default (`CONFIG_FIELD_PRESENT`); `pivot` and `head.pivot` must lie behind the nearest part (`CONFIG_TURN_PIVOT_BEHIND_NEAREST`).

With it, `assemble` reads the recomposite figures, the hole list and the `uncovered:` lines inside the figure — the rig pixels where any full-run layer's alpha is above 8 (`OPAQUE_ALPHA_ABOVE`, the cut every layer's painted pixels are read by) — each line starting `inside the figure (config.scene: …, <n> of <m> rig px)`; writes that figure as `figure_rig.png` (white on black) beside the recomposite, and a `scene` block in `parts.json`; flags error pixels on the error map inside it only (outside, the painting grey); and `check` leaves out of the seam every frame pixel whose composite sample reaches the painting's outermost row or column, saying how many (`seam_border` in `check.json`, and on the seam line).
