An attack clip that keys ONLY the Root bone makes Rukhanka collapse every un-keyed bone (Hips/Spine/legs) to identity for the duration of the state -> the body folds halfway into the floor (player MeleeSwing + enemy Attack; writeDefaultValues does NOT prevent it -- confirmed since even a pure yaw, which is height-preserving, still sank). Fix: build the attack clips FROM the full idle pose (every bone keyed) + a Root YAW twist on top, so nothing is un-keyed. Applied to both runtime clips (PlayerMeleeSwing/EnemyAttackWindup) and both editor recipes (PlayerRigTools/EnemyRigTools) so rebuilds stay correct. Operator-verified in Play.

The procedural attack clips key only the Root bone, but the Attack/MeleeSwing states had writeDefaultValues=true -> a partial (Root-only) clip resets every un-keyed bone (Hips/Spine/legs) to Rukhanka defaults (~identity), collapsing the body into the floor (player + enemy). Root carries the mesh-positioning offset (localPos -0.90, identity rot) while Hips/Spine carry the authored orientation. Fix: writeDefaultValues=false on the attack states (leave un-keyed bones in pose, only lean the Root). Patched both controllers + both recipes (PlayerRigTools/EnemyRigTools) so a rebuild can't regress. Rule: partial bone-subset overlay clips => writeDefaultValues=false.

Rukhanka swing animation: PlayerRigTools builds a procedural Root-bone PlayerMeleeSwing.anim and adds an IsAttacking param + MeleeSwing state to AC_PlayerTopDown (mirroring the enemy attack recipe -- no authored Synty Generic melee clip exists). PlayerAnimationDriveSystem pulses IsAttacking from the replicated MeleeCombo swing window (local + remote, NetworkTick wrap-safe, re-triggers per chained hit). CombatFeedbackSystem flashes a procedural cone slash-arc mesh matching the LIVE cleave range + half-angle on each swing (finisher wider/warmer) -- the arc IS the range telegraph. Addresses 'range isn't clear + no animation'.

Extends the DR-022 player pipeline to Husk enemies. A Husk is an ownerless
interpolated ghost = structurally a remote player, so the new client-only
EnemyAnimationDriveSystem mirrors PlayerAnimationDriveSystem's remote path:
velocity from LocalTransform-delta (prevPos cache, pruned every frame), facing
from LocalTransform.Rotation (AnimParamMath.PlanarForward), maxSpeed from baked
EnemyStats, IsAttacking from the already-replicated AttackWindup telegraph. No
new [GhostField], no server/asmdef/ghost-hash change.
Monster-mash roster: Werewolf (Grunt), Werewolf-Undead (Swarmer), Kaiju (Brute),
built by the reusable, GUID-preserving EnemyRigTools editor tool (materials +
AC_EnemyTopDown + EnemyAttackWindup clip + 3 rigged prefabs). WaveSystem now
preserves the baked variant Scale (was reset to 1 by LocalTransform.FromPosition).
See DR-023. EditMode 208/208; validated in Play (rigs skin, scales replicate,
locomotion + attack telegraph drive correctly).
