+> **A0 update (2026-07-21) — value/composition rework pass.** A critical re-read of the staging scene found
+> the mood + material system passing but the value hierarchy INVERTED (the suit's albedo/lamp out-valued the
+> beacon — the opposite of "light is territory") and the composition weak (Drowner facing away + dying at
+> 200px; crate occluded; T-pose). Fixed headless: global fill lights cut (KeyWarm 1.25→0.15, Caustics 32→9,
+> GloamFill 0.5→0.22), `WarmPool` reworked into a downward warm SPOT = a defined ground-territory disc, suit
+> lamp emissive tamed + bloom threshold raised (killed a blown chest streak), Drowner faced-to-camera + accents
+> boosted, triad recomposed (crate in-pool / Drowner at the lit edge / suit center). Grayscale now shows the
+> beacon as the value winner + a mid-value warm territory — the three-way mechanical judge PASSES.
+> **Still open for sign-off: the suit POSE (a Blender rig+pose sitting — the body is an unrigged Synty mesh +
+> 37 welded attachments; aligns with the A3 Wick-sculpt work) + the eyes-on-only criteria (flicker-cadence,
+> the "this game and no other game" call).** See [[2026-07-21_ArtStaging_A0_Value_Pass_J]].
