The VJ's attach-or-host logic (health probe, beacon listen, the main
store's server.lock as proof-of-life; loopback-only Host with the library
publisher, rooted in the main library when one exists) moves into
makepad-app-asset-server as embed::resolve, steered by <PREFIX>_ASSET_
EMBED/ROOT/PORT. vj/local_store.rs becomes the thin VJ-flavoured wrapper.
First second consumer: the sandbox.
Attach still wins whenever discovery finds a server (health probe, UDP
beacon, main-store lock). When nothing answers, the VJ now boots the
standalone asset-server's Host instead of a bare AssetServer: catalog +
CAS plus the ai-content library publisher over local/ai_content_library,
so a self-hosted VJ sees the same rows asset-ui publishes — not an empty
seed store. The fallback root is the user's main library when one holds a
catalog (server.lock arbitrates the race; losing it means attach). Both
planes bind 127.0.0.1 and no beacon runs: a private host is not a thing
the network can discover. HostConfig grows a blob_refs knob so the VJ
keeps its reference-import policy; the store decision is logged at boot.
Squashed from work:
- asset-ai: FastH3 4-step fast video backend; clip keyframes on the wire
- asset-ui: loop video chains — text→image→video that ends where it began

- h3_quant_gguf verify: row-error gates calibrated to the measured Q4_K floor
- asset-ai realtime: the feedback loop — the source anchors, the drifted frame inits
- asset-ai realtime: a feedback loop survives a resize and travels by default
- asset-ai realtime: the feedback loop frees itself from the feed handshake and pauses for its listener
