On every `rig` and `build` each of its animations is written into `rig/motion.json` after `idle`, as read: nothing added, re-keyed or judged here (except `derive` keys on `turn`/`tilt`, issue #436, and `{"t": …, "set": "<name>" \| null}` keys on slot `"attachment"` tracks, issue #473, which expand to `"v": "<set>_<slot>"` or `"v": null` when the set hides the slot, or `"v": "<slot>"` for `null`, refused with `CONFIG_SET_COVERS_SLOT` when the set is undeclared or does not cover the track's slot), and each is rigc's to accept or refuse at the rig stage's gate, in rigc's words. It may name what `motion.json` already holds — the bones `bones` declares, the easings `shut` and `open`, the groups `eyes` and `brows` when the blink writes them — and nothing else from the file reaches it. The loader refuses, every problem at once: no such file or one that cannot be read (`CONFIG_FILE_PRESENT`), text that is not JSON (`CONFIG_IS_JSON`), a file that is not an object, a `spec` other than `"rigc-motion/1"`, an `animations` that is not a table of objects (`CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`), any other key — rig-c's `easings`, `groups`, `setup`, `physics`, `mix`, `archetype` and `cut` included, which would be read and not written (`CONFIG_KEY_KNOWN`), an animation named `idle` (`CONFIG_ANIMATION_NAME_FREE`), and a key written twice in one object of the file, which JSON would fold into its last value without a word (`CONFIG_KEY_UNIQUE`). `check` names the others on one line (`beside the idle: …`) and reads each for folds, with the idle — `ANIMATIONS_DO_NOT_FOLD` (§7, issues #320, #333); every other bar reads the idle. Absent, `motion.json` holds the idle alone, byte for byte as before, and `check` reads that idle for folds |
 | `constraints` | rig (handed to rig-c as `rig.json`'s `constraints`); `compare` and the coverage lines (roles) | **authored**, optional; `propose` writes none, but with `--cloth` (issue #364), where it writes the recipe's physics and swing transforms (*Recipe: cloth and hair that answer the world*, below). 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). Each bone a constraint follows is declared to rigc as `invariants.detached` from every bone it drives, which rigc's gate rule `A25` checks |

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.

When `roles` is declared (`{<part>: "surface" \| "unit" \| "rear"}`, issue #763; `CONFIG_TURN_ROLE_UNKNOWN`, `CONFIG_TURN_SURFACE_REQUIRED`, `CONFIG_TURN_SURFACE_REGION`), the rig stage runs the 2.5D depth-sampled head-turn producer: it edge-extends each turn-bound part's depth sheet across its transparent border and semi-transparent fringe from the nearest fully opaque (`alpha === 255`) texel before `PAD = 4` clamping (`padTurnDepthSheet`, `DEPTH_SILHOUETTE_SIZE_MISMATCH`), promotes `"surface"` regions to `generator: {kind: "grid", cols, rows, depth}` (`grid`: `[cols, rows]` or `{<part>: [cols, rows]}`, default `[13, 16]`, bounded at `<= 2,400` triangles per slot and `<= 4,000` total, `RIG_TURN_GRID_BUDGET`, `RIG_TURN_SURFACE_DEPTH_REQUIRED`, `RIG_TURN_SHARED_DEPTH_SCALE`), emits `faceshift` and `rear_shift` under `head` (`CONFIG_TURN_HEAD_BONE`, `RIG_TURN_HEAD_BONE`), `<part>_surface` under `faceshift`, and `yaw_dial` and `pitch_dial` under `root` (`CONFIG_TURN_BONE_FREE`, `RIG_TURN_NAME_FREE`), re-parents `"unit"` and `"rear"` bones and mesh weights to `faceshift` and `rear_shift`, samples each `"unit"` bone's depth from the `"surface"` depth sheet at its rest position (or reads `unitDepths.<part>`, `RIG_TURN_UNIT_DEPTH_REQUIRED`), enforces ear occlusion (`ear_r`/`ear_l` drawn before `"surface"` in `assemble.plan`, `CONFIG_TURN_EAR_DRAW_ORDER`, and behind the cheek surface, `RIG_TURN_EAR_DEPTH_BEHIND_CHEEK`), and writes `turn` and `tilt` `derive` tracks (`pivot` default `55` rig px, `counter` default `0.1` in `[0, 1]`, `CONFIG_TURN_COUNTER_RANGE`). `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, unless it rides another part's bone. With no `face` part, or more than one, the riders keep their own and a note says so. A rider by bone (issue #535) — a part every *ownable* bone of which (a chain link, or a bone no other bone hangs from; `head`, `chest` and any bone with a child are shared and never count on their own) is *hosted* by another carried part, the host of a bone being the carried part that binds it (its region's bone; a mesh's `segments`, `contour` and `auto` regions' bones) with the most `opaque_px`, the earlier in parts.json on a tie, and which hosts no bone itself — is drafted at its host's depth, 0.001 nearer when drawn after the host and 0.001 further when before, and a note names the host, the bones and its own median: a pin, clip or ornament on the back hair's links travels with the back hair, not with its own layer's depth. `propose` reads the proposal's own `bones`, `meshes` and `regions`; the face riders are read by their tag first and never by their bones. A part bound to two hosts' bones rides neither and a note says so. In the rig stage, an authored depth on a rider by bone whose fraction differs from its host's by more than 0.1 of the dial (`TURN_RIDER_APART`, a share of `pivot − nearest`) is refused (`CONFIG_TURN_RIDER_DEPTH`); the host is read off `parts.json`'s `opaque_px`, so the config loader cannot see it. 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`).

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`).

+A weighted surface spanning the head and body subtrees (#796) takes both
+fields. Declare it as `"surface"` in `turn.roles` or `turn.body.roles` (both is
+also accepted), with both 2.5D groups present. Head descendants belong to the
+head group; the body root (`turn.body.bone`, otherwise `chest`, otherwise `hip`)
+and its descendants outside head belong to the body group. Each vertex's
+setup position samples that part's own extended sheet; each group's pivot and
+reference-depth rule produce its offset. A vertex with 0.7 torso and 0.3 head
+weights receives `0.7 * bodyOffset + 0.3 * headOffset`. Each influence stores
+only its group's inverse-frame offset; Spine applies its weight once. Head yaw
+and pitch and body yaw remain independent and additive. No bone is rebound,
+no topology is regenerated, and the neutral keys are empty. The split is
+enabled only when a part contains an attachment with positive bindings to
+both groups. Every attachment of that part then carries its own
+group mask: a head-only sibling island receives head yaw/pitch only; a
+body-only sibling receives body yaw only. An inactive group's timeline is
+omitted, so a zero timeline cannot overwrite the active slider's deform.
+Their authored topology and binding order remain unchanged. A part with no blended attachment keeps its explicit
+role behavior and output bytes, even if separate single-group islands bind
+different subtrees. Generated meshes and explicit mixed attachments use the
+same split.
+
+An unlisted mesh does not opt in merely by spanning the subtrees. A blended
+surface requires its own depth sheet (`RIG_TURN_SURFACE_DEPTH_REQUIRED`) and
+both groups, with every positive influence in one of their subtrees, including
+on sibling attachments (`RIG_TURN_SURFACE_MESH_GROUPS`). Zero weights do not
+make an attachment blended or require the other group; on the split path
+their deform pairs are zero and retain their place in the binding stream.
+Every binding name must still resolve and weights must still close at one,
+even for an inactive sibling. Do not use `"unit"` to opt in: its existing
+`CONFIG_TURN_UNIT_MESH_BONES` rule still requires one carrier subtree.
+Shared unit/rear carriers that move a surface's binding frame remain refused
+by `RIG_TURN_SURFACE_MESH_BINDINGS`; a blended surface does not add a second
+carrier translation to compensate. Alternate drawings still need their own
+registered sampling frame (`RIG_TURN_SURFACE_MESH_ATTACHMENT`).
+
+Authored weighted body meshes absent from both surface-role tables are unchanged
+and do not consume depth sheets. Measurement sheets are not packed

 `rig` declaration even without config opt-in: its file/size/color/opacity
 guards still apply. With binding inactive there is no added reference, file or
