Re-exported the skinned kit from the ONE master .blend with the reshaped diving helmet, grouped into
Metal/Beacon/Porthole SMRs. Darkened the helmet (M_Diver_Metal_Skinned flat gunmetal - the AnimatedLitShader
was multiplying the tint by the gold PaletteAtlas sample, so the atlas map is cleared to force the flat dark
base), kept the warm shoulder-lamp beacon, dimmed the porthole (M_Diver_PortholeGlow_Skinned), shifted the body
to a cool diver tone. Rebuilt Player.prefab via the proven PlayerRigTools graft chain. Verified live in
DevSandbox from the game camera: the gold-dome lamp is gone. Remaining full-match gap (brass-armour/teal-
undersuit split + the shoulder/boot silhouette edits) needs the Synty body replaced by the .blend body.

Reshaped the helmet dome from a squashed sphere into a diving-helmet form (modest vertical stretch +
flatter faceplate + chunky collar ring + bigger porthole bezel); broadened the outer shoulder pads and
beefed the boots for a heavier, more imposing silhouette. Master .blend is the single source; static
posed GLB re-exported + ArtStaging updated (connected instance, diver materials intact).

Camera: runtime POV switcher (StagingCameraSwitcher; V/]/[ cycle, 1-4 jump) with POV_1_Game matching
the in-game rig (Pitch45/Dist13/FOV55) as the default + hero/front/close-up; deep-water SolidColor
clear kills the no-skybox corner bleed at the wide game framing.
Character (the 'reads like a lamp' fix, operator-directed): darkened the helmet to dark gunmetal with
a dim lit porthole and moved the warm beacon to the shoulder lamp (light is carried, not the head);
color-blocked the body into a brass-and-teal deep-sea-diver palette (brass armour / dark-teal
undersuit / dark-metal kit) for value contrast + identity at game scale; bulked the back tank-rig
silhouette. Master .blend keeps rig+pose+materials re-editable; posed static GLB reimported into the
connected prefab instance with instance material overrides reset to the GLB's diver materials.

The suit .blend was rigged, but the base body/armour/head had vertex groups with NO Armature
modifier (why the export baked a static T-pose) and 2 orphan lamp parts were unweighted. Added the
modifiers, weighted the lamp parts to Spine_03, posed a grounded combat-ready stance (shoulders
down ~63deg, elbows braced forward ~22deg), baked the pose into static geometry (depsgraph
new_from_object) and re-exported. Master .blend keeps the rig+pose re-editable; the in-place GLB
overwrite flowed into the connected ArtStaging prefab instance (38 parts intact, materials +
extracted staging emissive preserved). Suit width 2.05m T-pose -> 1.04m posed; A0 silhouette now
reads from the top-down game camera.

Global fill cut (KeyWarm 1.25->0.15, CausticsSpot 32->9, GloamFill 0.5->0.22) so the scene
goes dark-except-where-ours-reaches; WarmPool point light -> downward warm SPOT = a defined
ground-territory disc that lights the suit top-down (a low point light was blasting the chest
into a blown bloom streak). Suit lamp + Drowner gloam emissives extracted from .glb sub-assets
to durable .mat assets (M_Suit_LampWarm_Staging, M_Drowner_GloamAccent_Staging). Recomposed the
triad (crate in-pool / Drowner faced-to-camera at the lit edge / suit center). Grayscale-verified:
the beacon dome is the value winner + the warm disc reads as territory. Suit pose still T-pose
(a Blender rig sitting; A3-adjacent).

WeaponGripAnchor under Hand_R in Player.prefab carries the actual axe
mesh as an EditorOnly preview (baker skips it; play-verified single axe)
so grip manipulation is the real model live in the prefab stage;
AttachMeleeWeapon reads the anchor (consts = seed/fallback). Includes
the operator's first gizmo-tuned grip (rebaked mesh matches expected
radius exactly). PlayerRigTools also carries the heavy-lock clip
re-speeds (1.0/0.85/0.88) consumed by the next commit.

- PostFX_Lantern.asset: the ONE shared grade (ACES, bloom 0.6 cool-tinted for the
HDR gloam, vignette 0.28, faint teal filter) applied to Game, DevSandbox, and
ArtStaging; PostFX_DarkSciFi / PostFX_Daylight / Sky_DaytimeProcedural deleted.
- Env_SeabedKit.prefab: ArtStaging's environment (seabed, flora, rocks, marine
snow, caustics, warm pool, gloam fill, key light, StagingAmbiance animator)
prefab-ized and placed in Game + DevSandbox; ArtStaging connected to it.
- Scene surgery: old DevSandbox.unity deleted; Gym.unity RENAMED DevSandbox.unity
(GUID preserved -> GymSub wiring + the F1/F2 dev scripts that gate on the
'DevSandbox' name come back to life). SyntyWorld root deleted from DevSandbox;
BaseBiome/ExpeditionBiome/Slot1 deleted from Game.
- RenderSettings unified: no skybox, Exp2 teal fog {0.02,0.10,0.12} @ 0.035, flat
near-black ambient {0.03,0.055,0.08}; camera clearFlags -> solid deep-water.
- ScenePolicy.IsGameplayScene() replaces the six scene.name=="Game" string gates
(Game + DevSandbox share the dynamic look; menu/ArtStaging untouched).
- WorldAtmosphereSystem rewritten as water-column murk (LANTERN defaults; biome
variants re-meant to kelp/trench/gloam-bloom; Ground_Arid tint block deleted).
390 green; Play-verified in Game: murk values live, warm-vs-cold reads, no errors.

ProjectM/EmissiveGloam — URP HLSL, HDR emission (Bloom-catching), with the
readability 'steady=true / flicker=false' channel as a material param
(_FlickerAmount), no script. Applied to the staging flora bulbs (cold, flicker).
The other two master shaders already exist (Lit URP graph, AnimatedLitShader).

The material-decision keystone (Art_Direction_Lantern / Lantern_Art_Pipeline_Recipes):
one shared palette atlas + ~3 materials, zero per-asset texturing.
- PaletteAtlas.png: 8x8 swatch grid encoding the ontology (warm-gold light / corpse-green
+ cold-blue gloam / lure-red bait / white-hot conversion / neutral / steel); sRGB, point,
no-mip, clamp, uncompressed.
- M_Lit_Palette (statics, Lit URP graph), M_Skinned_Palette (creatures/suits, the
deformation-aware AnimatedLitShader with per-instance tint + vertex-colour), M_Emissive_Gloam
(URP/Lit + HDR emission; hue/intensity = the gloam param axis). All wired to the atlas.
Dedicated master-shader graphs (flicker param, Hybrid-Per-Instance on statics) + the
style-proof scene are the next A0 steps. Verified by material values, not just a render.
