 | `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; a part a limb takes may be cut where no segment of the limb holds it, issue #564, §5 *Limbs*), `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`), a cut of a part a limb takes that takes a pixel a segment of the limb holds (`ASSEMBLE_CUT_CROSSES_LIMB`). `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, #473, #476): `[{name, source?, full?, head?, head_box?, parts?, hides?, cuts?, skeleton?, anchor?, base_anchor?, drawn?, tips?, front?}]` — 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>]`. Windows absolute drive paths such as `C:\paint\painting.png` are accepted as written; each segment's leading drive colon belongs to that path, while other colons still separate `source`, `full` and `head`. `parts` lists the subset of parts the set replaces (default: every part not in `hides`); a **subset set** (issue #473, e.g. mouth visemes `a`, `i`, `u` with `"parts": ["mouth"]`) cuts only its covered parts from the alternate runs (refusing with `ASSEMBLE_ALT_INPUT_PRESENT` if a covered part's layer is missing or empty), writes only `{slot: "<set>_<slot>"}` in `sets.json` so `@rig-c/play`'s `setSet(name)` switches those slots while leaving every other slot on its base attachment (and `setSet(null)` restores the base pose), may be keyed on a slot attachment track in `motion.animations_from` as `{"t": …, "set": "<name>" \| null}` (`CONFIG_SET_COVERS_SLOT` if `"set"` is undeclared or does not cover the track's slot), and under `check --set <name>` counts `ANIMATIONS_DO_NOT_FOLD` only on its own covered slots; `hides` lists slots the set hides (`null` in `sets.json`). A **gesture subset set** (issue #476) covers a limb chain declared in `config.limbs.<limb>` (all of its segment `part`s; with `drawn` alone, cut at the base's joints posed to the set's own `drawn` angles by `poseBoneEntriesForDrawn`, each segment keeping the base's length; with `skeleton` (issue #539), cut at the skeleton's own joint positions by `placeBoneEntriesForSkeleton` — each covered bone the body-18 table names (`sleeve_*`, `arm_*0`/`arm_*1`, `leg_*0`/`leg_*1`) at its skeleton origin with the skeleton segment's own length and direction (`drawn` overriding the direction of a bone it names), and a covered bone the table does not name (a hand link `arm_r2`, a single `foot_r`) placed from its parent's new place — its base offset from the parent, stretched along the parent by the parent's length change and turned by its turn, so a link or a foot at the parent's end lands on the skeleton's end — with its base length and the drawn or base direction, so a foreshortened shin or forearm is cut where it is painted; naming the unsplit `from` layer, covering only some segments of the limb, or declaring polygon `cuts` on a limb set is refused with `CONFIG_LIMB_SET_JOINTS`) and carries `drawn` (or `skeleton`) for the covered bones only (giving `drawn` for an uncovered bone is refused with `CONFIG_SET_COVERS_BONE` / `RIG_SET_COVERS_BONE`; uncovered bones keep the base's `drawn`). A subset set's limb part takes no pixel that a base part drawn after it, which the set neither covers nor hides, covers at setup (issue #587): the set's attachment is drawn in the base slot's place, so that base part is drawn over it and what the set's painting shows there is that base part (shorts over a leg set's thigh top, which See-through synthesised in the set's leg layer); `assemble` clears those pixels — the base part's PNG at alpha above 8, at its `parts.json` x, y, on the shared canvas — from the set's part once its limbs are cut, before any count — its `merged_px` and its cap's record too (issue #603): a cap pixel it clears leaves the count it was in (`layer_px`, `image_px`, `upper_px`, `lower_px`, `lower_kept_px`) for the cap's `excluded_px`, written only when above 0, so every count is the written PNG's — and prints `LINT set "<set>" <part>: <n> px under <base part> excluded` per part and base part that took a pixel (n counts alpha above 8); a set that carries that base part itself (`"parts": ["thigh_l", "shin_l", "bottomwear"]`) excludes nothing and writes what it wrote before. A subset set that names one limb side of a layer more limbs take (issue #588: `"parts": ["thigh_r", "shin_r"]` where `leg_r` and `leg_l` both take the one `legs` layer) would put every pixel of that layer on its one limb, so each of its parts would hold a piece of both legs; when the set's layer holds more than one island (8-connected pixels with alpha above 8) of at least 1 % of its largest (issue #608: the ghost clean-up's own share; a smaller island is a speck, which goes with the island nearest it — the one holding the pixel centre nearest one of the speck's, none when two are equally near — and is never an island of its own), each segment part keeps the island its joints fall on — its bone's origin and the next segment's bone's origin, at the set's own bones, a joint on the island of a pixel whose square holds the point, and a joint on no island on the one island whose nearest pixel centre lies within the radius of the cap cut at that joint (`cap.radius`: an ankle just past the legwear's edge, on the shoe) — and drops the rest, once its limbs are cut and before the exclusion above, and `assemble` prints `LINT set "<set>" <part>: <layer part> holds <n> islands (8-connected, alpha above 8)[, and <s> speck(s) under 1 % of the largest (<f> px), each with the island nearest it], kept the one under <bone> [x, y] and <bone> [x, y][ (<e> px off it, within its cap's radius <r>)] (<k> px), dropped <m> (<d> px)` per part (k and d count the part's pixels above alpha 8, m the islands it lost one from, and `dropped none` when it lost none); a joint on no island with none or two within that radius, or with no cap cut at it (a limb's first joint), and a segment whose joints fall on two, are refused with `ASSEMBLE_ALT_LIMB_ISLAND` rather than guessed. A layer of one island — specks aside — may hold both legs over each other (a folded shin across the standing leg; issue #609): each of the set's segment parts then keeps the pixels nearer its own limb's segment line — the polyline of only its segments taking that source, their bone origins and the last segment's supplied tip or following segment's joint (issue #638) — than the other limb's, both in the set's pose, and gives the rest away, once its limbs are cut and before the exclusion above; a pixel whose two distances differ by 0.5 px or less (the overlap band: half a pixel, the reach by which a pixel centre is read as on a line) goes to the limb whose part there is drawn later in the base's draw order, and the `LINT set` line above counts what each part kept, gave and held in the band. The other limb stands where the set's `skeleton` places it — its keypoints place every limb bone of the body-18 table, the other leg's as well as the set's own (its `drawn` and `drawnLength` stay the covered bones') — and never at the base's place: a set that does not place it (a `drawn` set, which may not name a bone it does not cover, or a set with neither) is refused with `ASSEMBLE_ALT_LIMB_POSE` when its layer has art where the base draws that limb, and when it has none nothing says the layer holds it and the layer is cut as before; two limbs whose segment lines run closer than the limb's half-width over most of where their art can meet are refused with `ASSEMBLE_ALT_LIMB_OVERLAP`. A set that carries every limb of the layer is cut as before. For a subset set, where a limb's own source layer holds art (`alpha > 8`) under another layer of that run drawn in front (`alpha > 8`, by the projection's plan/depth order), the limb keeps its own layer pixels through projection, limb cutting, island/nearest-line assignment, base-footprint exclusion, fringe clearing and seam correction (issue #637). Those pixels are occluded, never counted as painting projection; no base footprint or painting colour replaces them. After source-art island/nearest-line assignment, a source-transparent cap pixel is assigned before protection, in both doors: its centre is compared against only the segments taking the recipient's source, at the set's supplied bones (ankle-to-toe for a separate foot source), with the existing 0.5 px overlap band and base draw order. A missing last endpoint is refused with `ASSEMBLE_ALT_LIMB_POSE`; an actual following joint may supply that endpoint, never a guessed point. An unposed other limb with base art beneath these cap pixels is likewise refused; without such overlap the existing compatible path retains the cap without inventing the other limb's pose. A pixel cleared by this assignment is never restored. `CAP_FROM_UPPER` records a copy made before assignment and alone proves no ownership: only a retained copy is protected beneath the upper segment, which is drawn over it. The source-art island selection itself is unchanged. Other retained cap pixels (from the layer or a supplied cap image) are protected under an actual front layer even where the lower source is transparent. Protection follows each assigned piece through exclusion, fringe clearing and seam correction; it never restores a pixel ownership removed. Cap pixels removed during ownership leave their original counts for `excluded_px`, just as excluded pixels do, so the cap ledger describes the written PNG. Target assignment reconciles this ledger even when there are no source-transparent cap candidates and when a direct caller does not request cover protection. Unprotected source pixels still obey the base-footprint exclusion. Missing limb/cap art is never extended or guessed. Base builds and uncovered, unexcluded sets keep their existing bytes. `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 (filtered to covered bones on a subset set, 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, when the skeleton placed the set's limb bones (issue #539), `drawnLength` (`{<bone>: <ratio>}`, each covered table bone's skeleton segment length over its base length, 6 places) and `registration` (`{offset: [dx, dy], scale}`: the similarity without rotation, about the canvas origin, that maps the skeleton's torso — the mean of its shoulders `r_shoulder`/`l_shoulder` to the mean of its hips `r_hip`/`l_hip`, read where the base declares the bone rooted there, `sleeve_*0`/`arm_*0` and `leg_*0` — onto those base bones' origins, 6 places), both also written to `sets.json`; the set's painting must be registered, its torso within 1 rig px and 1 % in scale of the base's, or the set is refused by name before any joint is cut (`ASSEMBLE_ALT_SKELETON_REGISTERED`, with the offset and scale the painting would need) — 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. `front` (issue #664) lists covered limb segment parts the set draws on their **front slot** instead of the base slot: each must be in the set's `parts` and not its `hides`, and listed in some `config.limbs.<limb>.front.parts` (`CONFIG_SET_FRONT`); the set then maps `<part>_front` (never `<part>`) to `<set>_<part>` in `parts.json` and `sets.json` and hides `<part>` (and `<part>_still`), its #587 exclusion counts only base parts drawn after the front slot's target, and keying that part's set on a slot track is refused (`CONFIG_SET_FRONT_KEYED`) — *Front slots (issue #664)* below `layers` optionally maps covered, nonhidden output part names to layer names in their existing source run (issue #666); for example `"layers": {"upperarm_r": "author:raised", "forearm_r": "author:raised"}`. Limb cuts, caps, islands and base exclusions read the selected layer; the base plan stays unchanged. |
 | `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 |
+| `assemble.yield_refused` | assemble | **authored**, optional boolean, default `false` (issue #819; other types: `CONFIG_FIELD_TYPE`). With `true`, only an original front projection-core pixel refused at max-channel drift > `DRIFT_LIMIT` (90) can yield: its original source pixel must still be opaque, and the actual top-most opaque holder below it (alpha >= `CORE_ALPHA`, 250), after earlier yields, must have colour within 90 of the painting. A deeper matching part cannot bypass an intervening opaque mismatch. This setting also applies to alternate sets. Its alpha becomes 0; RGB is not repainted. Merge/ring replacements are not original refused pixels. Front is relative to the matching part behind, so original refusals in another run are eligible even when a different part is the global top holder. The reading proceeds back to front against the current behind pixels; alpha changes do not repaint or create a new matching colour. `yieldReadings` records skipped merge/ring/nonopaque/no-match counts and original/final global holders; a yielded pixel also taken by projection closing is omitted from the written `source_px_taken` count. Existing cuts/patches and thresholds are unchanged. The `drift:` line reports `yielded N px` per affected part, even below the drift-body size bar; with the setting off it names `assemble.yield_refused: true` as the conditional remedy. Rebuild and inspect the newly exposed layer in motion before considering any cut; a mismatching or absent behind holder cannot be repaired by this setting. |
 | `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?, hybrid?}, …], 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 |
 | `meshes.<part>` | rig | **proposed**, then corrected. Generated modes below; `explicit` transfers an accepted mesh (see “An accepted mesh”). Exactly one mode is allowed. `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 distance-generated modes: `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`. |

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).

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`).

 | `scene` | assemble (the recomposite, its holes and the figure's mask); check, through `parts.json`'s `scene` block (`RECOMPOSITE_HOLES`, the seam) | **authored**, optional; `propose` writes none (issue #242). `{}` declares the painting a scene: the figure and its surroundings in one image, See-through's full run holding only the figure. 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).

The two defaults are the recipe's own, measured on its synthetic fixture (the recipe below). The recipe below says what each field drafts. The config written: `propose --cloth <config.json> --write-config <out.json>` (issue #537) writes this config's own text back with the sections the recipe drafts spliced in — `meshes.<part>` and `regions.<part>`, and `bones`, `constraints` and `motion.tracks` entry by entry by name (issue #552) — and every other byte as read; `--from <previous config>` (issue #571) takes an entry equal to the previous recipe's draft as the recipe's (*The config written*, under the recipe below) |

 **Body-root seam identity** (issue #686). A limb must have exactly one segment0 part. Its declared bone must have one named immediate parent; the root slot must bind that bone (or its declared turn child). Non-limb parts with `topwear` or `bottomwear` source provenance, a slot on that parent (directly or through its verified generated turn child) and a named default-skin drawing are candidates. The body-side child must match `applyTurn`'s exact generated name, unique identity bone and parent, control and per-part transform binding; a similarly named bone alone is not proof (issue #708). The original carrier and pair slot names do not change under turn; stock setup pose `render --seam` selects all matching drawings with `banded > 0` (its existing alpha-overlap band, without dilation), so one selects one pair and two select both pairs. When eligible candidates all return valid setup banded 0, that limb has no selected root pair: `unmeasuredRoots` retains its limb, bone, parent, segment0 part, candidates and named reason, reported as SKIP, not measured PASS. Part spelling, nearest geometry and shared mesh influences select nothing. On `wind` the pairs are `topwear|upperarm_r`, `topwear|upperarm_l`, `bottomwear|thigh_r` and `bottomwear|thigh_l`; “trunk” is not a part name. Existing pairs keep their order; a reversed explicit declaration deduplicates with the root pair and retains both declarations. An ambiguous/missing named binding, no eligible candidate, or unreadable/undrawn setup data is `CHECK_MOTION_SEAM_ROOT`, naming the part and candidates. Valid zero-band metadata is carried separately as optional `roots.unmeasured`, never as a fabricated measured pair. The all-zero root block remains present and its bar is skipped; measured FAIL takes precedence over SKIP, while measured PASS plus any unmeasured root stays SKIP. No body provenance leaves legacy pair selection unchanged and supplies no body-root coverage.
