Docs: Blender clip pipeline in session log; CLAUDE.md Humanoid correction (net-zero)

The 'Synty share one Generic skeleton' note was WRONG - the pipeline is
HUMANOID (CharactersAvatar isHuman, muscle-curve clips). Corrected + the
Blender clip recipe added; paid for by archiving Aim-controls, the URP
m_AssetVersion blocker, VolumeProfile persistence, HDRP-convert and the
HudTheme bullets (verbatim in the gotchas archive, 2026-07-06 section).

Watch **shared-material bleed** when re-tinting. ACES tonemapping needs URP color grading mode = HDR (`m_ColorGradingMode=1`).
 - **Prototype glue lives in `ProjectM.Client` as MonoBehaviours:** `PrototypeCameraRig` (player-following ARPG cam), `VFXConfig` (static `Instance` + prefab fields bridging authored VFX to `CombatFeedbackSystem`; keep a procedural fallback). A **static presentation bridge must reset on play-enter** via `[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(SubsystemRegistration)]` (statics survive fast-enter-playmode reloads → stale flash).
 - **UITK HUD + menus ★:** `MenuUi` owns the palette/factories/`PanelSettings`/`EventSystem` plumbing; `HudSystem` = a `PresentationSystemGroup` observe-only `SystemBase` owning a runtime `UIDocument` (`sortingOrder 50`, root `pickingMode = Ignore`, tree built once `rootVisualElement != null`). **Runtime UITK needs `PanelSettings` WITH a `themeStyleSheet` AND an `EventSystem` + `InputSystemUIInputModule`** or buttons are silently dead. The build palette (lazy from the client `StructureCatalog`) drives click-to-place: green/red `BuildPreviewMath` ghost → `BuildPlaceRequest` RPC, right-click/Esc cancel, `[`/`]`/R rotate. See [[DR-021_HUD_UITK_BuildPalette]].

 ### Art import (HDRP store packs → URP)
-- BefourStudios art is **HDRP-authored** → magenta under URP 17.4 + Entities Graphics. **Convert, don't switch pipelines** (HDRP breaks EG): re-author to stock URP/Lit via `EnvArtTools.cs` (menu `ProjectM/Art/1. Convert Curated Env Materials`). Synty art is **URP-native — no conversion**.
+- BefourStudios HDRP art: convert via `EnvArtTools.cs`, never switch pipelines (HDRP breaks EG); Synty = URP-native → archive 2026-07-06.
 - **World = cosmetic Synty nature biomes ★ (DR-025):** `Game.unity` roots `BaseBiome`(Meadow_Forest)@origin + `ExpeditionBiome`(Arid_Desert)@+1000; ground = stock URP/Lit (NOT prop-atlas `S_General`). Per-region fog/ambient cross-fade via client `WorldAtmosphereSystem` (camera X>500). **PNB fog/cloud-ring prefabs = white torus — don't place.** See [[DR-025_World_Environment_Redo_Natural_Frontier]].
 - **A dark-lit screenshot MASKS material bugs — verify material *values*.** `shader.GetPropertyType(idx)`-guard before `GetColor`/`GetFloat`/`GetTexture` (`S_General`'s `_BaseColorMultiply` is a float → `GetColor` returns black). Gate emission on the `_Emissive` flag + a fixture name; keep converted env metallic low (0.1–0.2).
-- **`VolumeProfile.Add<T>()` does NOT persist** (serializes `{fileID:0}`) — use `AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset(comp, profile)` + `SaveAssets`, verify on disk.
-- **A reverted engine/URP upgrade can stamp `URPGlobalSettings.asset` `m_AssetVersion` AHEAD of the package's `k_LastVersion`** (11>10, from the reverted 6.6 alpha); URP migrates forward-only so `URPPreprocessBuild` rejects it (*"not at last version"*) — **blocks player builds, not editor Play**. Fix: reflection-set `m_AssetVersion` back to `k_LastVersion` + `SaveAssets`.

 - **`LocalTransform.FromPosition()` resets Scale=1** — server spawners read the prefab's baked `LocalTransform`, override only Position (Scale is a `[GhostField]` → consistent-but-wrong).
 - **Static decor → gameplay subscene** (EG renders only baked entities); **strip colliders from cosmetic props** + no `GhostAuthoring` on scenery (classic-URP cosmetic colliders are **inert to the DOTS PhysicsWorld**). **World collision = subscene-only ★:** `Environment`-layer boundary ring + landmark box colliders (player blocked via the default layer matrix); enemies slide via a server `CollisionWorld.SphereCast` in `EnemyAISystem` (filter=`WorldCollisionConfig.EnvironmentMask`). Boundary = a height-gated `SM_Env_Rock_Cliff` bowl rim. See [[2026-06-08_World_Collision_HUD_Scaling]].
 - **A GA "projectile" prefab self-propels** — strip to particles before `Start` (`CombatFeedbackSystem.StripCosmetic`); verify *components*, not the name.
 
 ### Aim controls
-- **Client-derived aim rides the EXISTING `PlayerInput.Aim` `[GhostField]`** (`PlayerInputGatherSystem`, managed, `GhostInputSystemGroup`: cursor ray → `AimMath.PlanarAimFromRay`); only the direction crosses the wire. Scheme = last-meaningful-actuation-wins **`byte`** (`PlayerInput.Scheme`, KBM=0/Gamepad=1 — compared in Bursted `AbilityFireSystem`); server gates `AutoTarget` to gamepad only. `AimReticleSystem` (client, observe-only) RE-raycasts the KBM ground point INSIDE itself (runs after the follow-cam LateUpdate → latching from the gather drifts a frame); hardware cursor hidden while aiming+focused.

Skeletal animation = **Rukhanka 2.9** (the only maintained Entities-native option on 6.4). **Netcode replication OFF** (`RUKHANKA_WITH_NETCODE` undefined) → **client-derived**: `PlayerAnimationDriveSystem` (client-only `SystemBase`, `[WorldSystemFilter(LocalSimulation|ClientSimulation)]` + `[UpdateBefore(RukhankaAnimationSystemGroup)]`) reads replicated state and writes params via `AnimatorParametersAspect`/`FastAnimatorParameter`.

 - **First Rukhanka bake is ~60 s, main-thread-synchronous** (editor freezes — not a hang; blob cached after → fast re-plays).
 - **The server runs Rukhanka unless you strip it** — its **deformation** systems are `[WorldSystemFilter(Default)]` (⊇ ServerSimulation). **`ServerStripAnimationSystem`** (server-only one-shot) disables every `Rukhanka.Runtime` system on the server (group-disable cascades; matched by assembly name → no type ref). *Only Play-validation caught this.*
 - **Build the controller via the `AnimatorController` API** (`manage_animation` drops enum/Vector blend-tree fields). **Skeleton-root = walk up from a bone to the soldier's direct child**, NOT `SkinnedMeshRenderer.rootBone` (the *bounds* root — head SMR's is `Spine_03` → destroys the lower skeleton).
-- **Synty Polygon characters share one Generic skeleton**; FBX needs **Optimize Game Objects OFF** (Rukhanka req). Entity origin = capsule center (~1 m up) → offset the un-keyed `Root` bone local Y (baked constant → persists through clips). Root motion **OFF** (CC owns the transform; blend tree velocity-driven).
+- **The rig pipeline is HUMANOID** (muscle clips retarget onto player + monster rigs; the old "Generic" note was WRONG). **Blender clips:** per-action FBX (Key All Bones + Force Start/End + FBX Units Scale); import `CreateFromThisModel` (**CopyFromOther FAILS on Blender's extra `Armature` node**); bake root motion into pose. Optimize Game Objects **OFF**; root motion **OFF** (CC owns the transform).
 - **ENEMIES reuse the player pipeline** — a Husk = ownerless interpolated ghost = a remote player, so `EnemyAnimationDriveSystem` mirrors the REMOTE path (`LocalTransform` delta velocity + prevPos cache; `IsAttacking = AttackWindup != 0`). **Drop `[RequireMatchingQueriesForUpdate]`** so the prune runs every frame (else a cache entry leaks per kill). Build enemy prefabs via **`EnemyRigTools`**, GUID-preserving (`DeleteAsset+CopyAsset` orphans subscene refs); `WaveSystem` uses `baked.WithPosition` (not `FromPosition` → Scale reset).
