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.

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'.
