 | `assemble.head_face_underfill` | assemble, `assemble --propose-plan` | **authored**, optional (issue #492): `boolean` (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE` on any other). When both runs exist and `full:face` has at least `200` opaque run px (`PROPOSE_MIN_PX`), the stage maps `full:face` into the head canvas via `fullLayerToHead` and measures how much of its hole-filled silhouette (`alpha > 8`) is covered by `head:face` (`alpha > 8`). A head-run `face` covering less than `75 %` (`HEAD_FACE_COVERAGE_FLOOR`, measured `0.0 %..48.6 %` on hollow/omitted head runs vs `84.8 %..99.6 %` on clean head runs across the 4 public examples and 9-standee corpus) is refused with `SEETHROUGH_HEAD_RUN_HOLLOW` unless `head_face_underfill: true` is declared. When `head_face_underfill: true` is declared and `head:face` exists (`opaqueRunPx >= 200`), `fullLayerToHead(full:face)` is composited under `head:face` on the head canvas (`alpha = max(headAlpha, fullAlpha)`, RGB blended by `headAlpha / 255`) before `head:face` is placed in rig space (`underfill=<N>px(full:face)` on the `face` part log line and a `face: head_face_underfill composited …` note in `assemble --propose-plan`). The fill restores transparent pixels only and leaves the cut's own edge where it is — a hollow whose edge is not under hair stays visible, and that is the author's to fix at the cut. When `head:face` has fewer than `200` opaque pixels, `SEETHROUGH_HEAD_RUN_HOLLOW` still fires even under `head_face_underfill: true` because the head run omitted the face layer and cannot supply a jawline |
 | `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?}, …], split?, layout?, front?}}`, 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"` (issue #360), the one value it takes, and `cap_shape` `"disc"` (issue #360) or `"ball"` (issue #579) (`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. Optional `front` (issue #664), `{parts: [<own segment part>, …], after: "<produced part>"}`, gives each named segment a second slot `<part>_front`, empty at setup, placed after `after`'s slot family, for a gesture set to draw on (`CONFIG_FRONT_SCOPE`, `CONFIG_FRONT_NAME`, `CONFIG_FRONT_LAYOUT`; *Front slots (issue #664)* below) |
 | `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 |

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. In every mode the mesh's `mesh_report.json` row's `bones` names the bones the emitted model binds for the attachment — the sorted set its weights in the written `rig.json` name, so a `turn` twin (`turn_<part>_<bone>`) or a stopped link's `<link>_d` where those rebind it, never the segment bone it stands for — the same list in every mode, `remesh --delta`'s included (issue #536)  Optional `gather: false` keeps an exclusively bound non-segment limb rider at its authored draw position (issue #680); its binding and mesh geometry are unchanged. Remove the key for normal gathering; a non-rider is refused as `RIG_GATHER_RIDER`. |

 | `meshes.<part>.influence` | rig | **authored**, optional (issue #378), a mode beside `grid`, `contour` and `auto`: `{cell, radius, across, max, shape, hold_tip?}`, every field but `hold_tip` 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. `propose --cloth` drafts it when a recipe declares `influence` and no `radius` (issue #518): the farthest vertex's distance plus 3 of the part's lattice cells, printed on a `LINT` line with both figures. 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. That reading counted folds only; read against `check` as well (the rig as built, under the wind schedule +1 → −1 → calm, `build --environment`, the three covered `wind` parts at the same number of cells), the window that holds is **+2 to +3 cells**, and +4 is the ceiling: `wind` `bottomwear`'s `CHECK_TIP_OVER_ROOT` ratio is 1.898 on the lattice, 1.801 at +2 cells, 1.590 at +3 and **1.471 at +4**, under the floor 1.4725, so the build fails there, and 1.351 at +6 (#513, rig-parts 1.52.0, rigc 2.60.0; the lattice, +3 and +4 read again on rig-parts 1.54.0, rigc 2.60.0, the same figures, #599). The drafted +3 sits in that window, one cell under the ceiling (no radius between +3 and +4 was read), and the window is a hypothesis until a third subject — each edge rests on one part — so 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`). `hold_tip` (issue #615) — `true` only, or absent: the pulled shares are smoothed by the lattice's held-fork passes (the cloth recipe's `split.hold_tip` sentence below: four passes of 1-ring mesh-edge averaging, self weight 0.5, floor 0.005) capped at the declared `max`, so no vertex binds more than `max` bones; absent, the shares are rig-c's as pulled and every byte is the one written before the field existed (`false`, a second spelling of absent, is `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`). The mesh's `mesh_report.json` row echoes it in `influence`. `propose --cloth` writes it, with `max` raised to at least 8 (the lattice's smoothing cap), on the parts a recipe with `influence` and `split.hold_tip: true` meshes; the rig stage reads it off the mesh and never the recipe. Measured on `wind` `bottomwear` and the cloth fixture's skirt under a 60° hip sway (#615, `render --folds`, physics on): `wind` `bottomwear` folds 41 frames as drafted before the field (max 6) and **0** with `hold_tip` and max 8, against its lattice's 5; with `hold_tip` at max 6 it reads 23, and at max 8 without `hold_tip` 3; the fixture skirt (recipe given `split.hold_tip`) reads 20 before and 0 with it, against its lattice's 0, and 0 at max 8 without it. So the raised `max` carries most of the gap and the smoothing the rest on `wind` (rig-parts 1.54.0, rigc 2.60.0; a split skirt without `hold_tip` is not smoothed and reads its 44 as before). For cloth and hair that should bend as one surface across its chains |
 | `meshes.<part>.contour` | rig | **authored**, optional (issue #84): `{tolerance, margin, spacing, maxEdge?, budget?, stray?, bridges?, regions?, bust?}`. `tolerance` — rig-c's Douglas–Peucker tolerance on the traced outline, px, 0 or more; `margin` — how far the silhouette grows before it is traced, px: 0, or 1 or more (a pixel joins when its centre lies within `margin` of an art pixel's centre; a value above 0 and below 1 adds nothing and is refused, `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`); `spacing` — the background interior spacing, px, above 0; `maxEdge` (issue #265) — the longest outline edge, px, above 0: every simplified edge longer than it is cut into `ceil(length / maxEdge)` equal pieces, each cut point on the 1/256 px grid, before any region or rib touches the outline (absent: nothing is cut, and no byte moves; under 2/256 px the rig stage refuses it, `CONTOUR_PARAMETER`, because two cut points could snap together); the row echoes it in `params` and counts the points it added in `contour.outlineCut`, both only when declared; `budget` — the most vertices the mesh may have (refused above it, nothing thinned); `stray` — the largest island, in art pixels, that may be left out of the mesh (absent: none is); `bridges` (issue #326) — `true`, its one value: islands are read in this order — **dust first** (those `stray` leaves out), **then faint islands** (every pixel's alpha under 64, a quarter of full opacity: left out the same way, their pixels kept in the image but not meshed, so not drawn, and named in the row's `contour.bridges.faint` with their px, brightest alpha and box), **then every visible island is meshed and bridged, whatever the bridge costs** — overdraw is reported, never a reason to drop art; the largest island, or a tie for it, is never left out, faint or not: dropping it would draft the part without its art, and a part whose main body is faint is a question about the layer, which the plan and the author own, not one for the mesh — and the pieces are joined into the one outline rig-c takes by bridges — the kept islands, holes filled, grow together by `margin`, so islands closer than about twice the margin are one grown silhouette, traced as one; each silhouette is traced, simplified, capped, refined and triangulated as a one-island mesh is; then, starting from the silhouette with the most art, the nearest pair of a vertex on the joined outline and one on a silhouette still apart whose quad holds (wound as the mesh, crossing no outline, holding no other vertex, one closed outline after) is joined by that quad, two triangles over no art, until none is apart. 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; a bridge adds no vertex (issue #570): its four corners, `contour.bridges.joins[].vertices`, are outline vertices of the two silhouettes it joins, and they are weighted as every vertex of the mesh is, by distance to every bone the mesh's `segments` name — no step of the weighting reads which island a vertex lies on, so where two islands ride two bones (two legs in one `legwear` on `leg_r` and `leg_l`) each island's vertices, the corners among them, take weight from the other island's bones too (selftest `CW100`: on its fixture the left island's two corners each take 0.35821 from the right island's bone, and none of its vertices less than 0.30431), and a part whose pieces must not pull each other is split into one part per piece; `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).

+### An accepted mesh (`meshes.<part>.explicit`, issue #658)
+
+To transfer an already accepted hand-tuned or core-generated mesh, declare
+`explicit` instead of a generator. Transfer the accepted `uvs`, `triangles`,
+`hull` and by-name `weights` together. There is no rounding, weight
+normalization, vertex reordering or topology repair. The mandatory rig-c gate
+still judges the mesh before the rig stage publishes anything.
+
+`segments` is required in this mode too, but names bones directly: first the
+accepted slot bone, then any other weighted bones. All weight bones must be
+listed. A declared stopped link may be named by its emitted `<link>_d` name; no other unknown name resolves by suffix. Chain shorthand and coordinate segments are refused here. These names
+are bindings, not a recipe to generate geometry. Do not supply `r`, `grid`,
+`contour`, `auto`, `influence`, `exponent`, `rule`, `ribs`, `influences` or `stray`
+beside `explicit` (`CONFIG_EXPLICIT_MODE`). `gather: false` retains its usual
+meaning. `propose` continues to propose generated meshes; it does not infer a
+repair from an output.
+
+| Required explicit field | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `image_sha256` | Lowercase SHA-256 over the unpadded part PNG's **decoded RGBA bytes**, in row order, not compressed PNG bytes. The part reader's dimensions are bound by the region hash. |
+| `region_sha256` | Lowercase SHA-256 over the UTF-8 bytes of `JSON.stringify([rigWidth, rigHeight, part.x, part.y, part.w, part.h])`, using the canvas and part rectangle read from `parts.json`. No spaces or newline. |
+| `uvs` | Flat normalized x/y pairs over the ordinary padded rig image: the part plus four transparent pixels on each edge (`PAD` in `src/rig.ts`). |
+| `triangles`, `hull` | Accepted vertex-index triples and hull vertex count, in their original order. |
+| `weights` | One nonempty row per vertex; entries `{bone, x, y, weight}` in their original order. These are rig-c **bone-local Spine pixels, y up**, not config crop coordinates. Preserve the accepted bone frames as well as these values. |
+
+Derive both guards from the immutable accepted input, then keep them beside the
+payload. A changed decoded pixel is `RIG_EXPLICIT_IMAGE_HASH`; a changed canvas
+or placed rectangle is `RIG_EXPLICIT_REGION_HASH`. Both failures name the
+expected and observed digest and publish nothing. Updating a digest alone does
+not make an old payload correct for new art. Annotation and record keys remain
+unread and never become payload fields. An alternate set replacing this part
+is `RIG_EXPLICIT_ALTERNATE`: a payload is bound to one image and placement;
+use a generated mesh for alternate art.
+
+`mesh-stats` reports mode `explicit`. `mesh-draft` lists it as not compared and
+does not regenerate it. The mesh report measures its counts, bound bones,
+influence counts and art coverage and records the verified guards. It does not
+carry an earlier generator's report. Consumer provenance, formatting and files
+written by other tools are not reproduced by declaring a mesh payload.

-The same rig-c band and strict floor `px > round(max(box width, box height) / cell)` apply. A root GAP hit is exempt only when every cell centre of its whole world-cell box has full-frame composite alpha at least 128 (rig-c DRAWN_ALPHA), on the same rendered frame and cell grid. This whole-box exemption is a sufficient proof: the unknown GAP-cell subset is contained in that box. Any uncovered box cell retains the entire original GAP count, not a partially subtracted or exact visible count; this is the conservative branch. The same full-count rule applies to unavailable geometry, clipping, attachment metadata or an exact RGBA replay mismatch, with a named unavailable reason. The existing active render requests geometry only for roots; no extra render is made for this exemption and root-free calls load no compositor. Each examined root row adds `coverage` evidence with raw frame/count/cell/box, status (`exempt`, `conservative`, `unavailable`), whole-box cell/covered counts when available and a relative `root_gap_coverage/` JSON path; the sidecar retains the alpha grid, actual frame time and replay result. Exempted hits are not relabelled under-floor. Raw GAP/reference-world readings and the unchanged floor remain intact. Exact GAP-open/GAP-covered partitioning is deferred to rig-c/core#1556; this sufficient proof does not claim that API's complete visibility semantics. The root metric mode is `gap-only`: only a GAP in the active rendered environment fails `CHECK_SEAM_OVER_MOTION`, naming pair, animation, frame, GAP cells, cell size and world box. A mixed ghost is INFO: `owner unavailable in this rigc-seam/1 reading; see rig-c/core#1555`. A ghost is alpha drawn by one pair member from the rest overlap band; it is not proof that background shows. This mixed-ghost reader carries no proven drawing-owner binding, so root PASS does not certify UNDER-owned ghost coverage. That follow-up requires the released per-owner core API; no owner is inferred from a slot name or aggregate count. `SEAM_OVER_MOTION.roots` records `status` (`PASS`, `FAIL`, `SKIP`), `mode` (`gap-only`), `ghost_owner` (`unavailable`), `ghost_followup` (`rig-c/core#1555`), pair names, failed pair/animation count and an unavailable `reason`; root rows use GAP only for `opens`, `px`, `max_px`, `under_floor` and worst above-floor hit (`kind: gap`, `index`, `px`, `cell`, `box`). Their separate `ghost_info` preserves mixed ghost `max_px`, `worst`, frame count and unavailable owner; complete per-frame hits remain in rigc raw sidecars, not embedded here. `warnings` counts only existing warning pairs. The new root bar is counted once where declared, including named SKIP when any required root/animation has no band or reading; absence is not a zero or a PASS. A failed active root sets overall PASS false and exits 1. Existing internal-joint and explicit-only pairs remain warnings: their PASS, exit status and bar count are unchanged. The line can now be `FAIL`; reference worlds remain informational. No inferred thigh/hem or other geometric neighbours are added. This gate samples the supplied animations at12fps; it does not certify another motion or a player scene.
+The body-root bar counts stock partitions `gapOpen` plus `ghostA` or `ghostB` owned by the pair's UNDER-owned drawing in resolved draw order on each active frame, comparing their summed cells against the unchanged strict floor `px > round(max(box width, box height) / cell)` on the original raw kind boxes (their union when both kinds contribute), never the narrowed partition boxes; `gapCovered` and OVER-owned ghost cells do not count (issue #711). The metric mode is `gap-open+under-ghost`; rows retain the exact partition counts, UNDER owner and counted total in `cells`, including excluded and under-floor readings. Missing partitions, inconsistent sums or unavailable ownership are named `FRAMES_SIDECAR` refusals, never inferred zero. An active rendered environment fails `CHECK_SEAM_OVER_MOTION` above that floor, setting overall PASS false and exits 1.

+  `basis` is `reference-alpha/top-two-of-2x2`: the same source reference
+  attribution used by the error rows below. `pairs` lists only two distinct
+  source parts actually encountered in that footprint, lower first; `pair_count`

+  buckets describe reference support, not anatomical joints, posed ownership,
+  physical gaps or ghost ownership. They never invent combinations from part

+  `measured_sample_px`: all included U cells for non-scenes, only the existing

every eligible body drawing with stock setup `banded > 0` is selected, including both when a parent is shared; issue #708 resolves a body slot on its exact generated turn child to the same named carrier only after unique identity-bone/control/per-part-transform proof, without changing pair identity, setup selection or the direct-carrier path; setup-only observation preserves the authored motion and default drawing, root-free inputs add no setup compile/render, and no animation remains SKIP rather than a measured zero; existing internal pair warnings and their exits are unchanged; issue #591 adds optional `worlds` on physics rigs with readable declared pairs and animations: `default` and `still`, each `wind`, `gravity`, `status` (`REPORTED` or `SKIP`), `reason` on SKIP, `dir` only when rendered (relative to check.json: `seam_motion/default` or `seam_motion/still`, the complete retained render with frames.json and each animation's raw seam.json), and `rows` — pair, animation, status, drawn, banded, `gap` and `ghost`, each `max_px` and `worst` only; worst carries `index`, `px`, `cell`, `box`. Per-frame hits stay in the raw sidecars. These raw reference readings add no bar or warning and leave the custom environment reading unchanged), `CLOTH_SETTLES` after it when the rig declares a physics constraint and has an idle (issue #501, a warning and not a bar: `status` — `WARN` or `CLEAR` — `fps`, `frames`, `duration`, `floor_rig_px_per_s`, `floor`, `levers`, `warnings`, `rows` — each `tip`, `root`, `links`, `point`, `settles_at`, `max_rig_px_per_s`, `min_rig_px_per_s`), `RECOMPOSITE_HOLES` (its first figure `declared_scene` when `parts.json` declares a scene), `SETUP_POSE_VS_SOURCE`, `skipped`, `config` under `build` only (issue #607, additive: `path` as `--config` was typed, `sha256` of the bytes the build read; `check` and `compose` read no config and write none), a `requirements` block under `--requirements` (or `build`'s `config.requirements`) — `file` first from issue #556, additive: `path` as typed or declared, `sha256`, `keys` — and `PASS`; `check/build/skeleton.json`, `.atlas` and `.png` are the packed artifact rig-c writes.

 There is one extra seam render per checked state and no extra compile/gate.
 
+Issue #716 adds `seam_scope.population` on a measured base or checked set,
+without changing that metric or its consumers. Before RGB error is read, each
+included comparison sample is attributed by the existing alpha-above0,
+top-two-of-2x2 reference rule. `basis` names that rule; `pair_count` and `pairs`
+name only genuine observed two-part footprints in source draw order.
+`single_art` and `no_reference_art` remain separate buckets. Each row's
+`whole_sample_px` equals `scope_sample_px + inherited_sample_px`; base scope
+equals whole, and a set uses the unchanged semantic effect mask. The sum of
+whole buckets equals `measured_sample_px`, not the mean denominator A. Scenes
+retain their existing exclusions. A zero-error comparison can have named pair
+support; no genuine pair is explicit, while an unmeasured seam retains SKIP
+and no population. This is reference support, not joint or physical-gap
+measurement. Existing sparse error rows, boxes, pictures, flags, thresholds,
+verdicts, gates and CLI consumer counts are unchanged; no zero-error picture is
+created and no new bar or refusal is added.
