Squashed from work; the fine-grained history is under tag archive/work-2026-08-26:
- vj: the thumbnail pipeline becomes one honest machine, and effects go livecodable
- repo: context_ladder scratch bin stays local, not shipped
- vj: thumbnails become mp4 — hardware-coded sheets at measured-4K cells, and the bake stops racing the GPU
- store: the ceremony dies — batch publish, one transaction, and the engine stops re-reading its own log
- vj: the console grows real transports, and the deck stops lying about reverse
- models: an interrupted install can never load broken
- importer: the classic worlds stop being mirror images
- asset-ai: the chat tells the truth while it works
- sqlite: derived tables get their real names, their predicates, and all their arms
- llm: the step cost model is chosen per device — the RTX PRO 6000's measured verify curve (13.7 + 3.17·B ms) beside the 5090's; the bench warms every tail shape and times two windows
- importer: a sound and a single-tile sprite publish a picture like everything else
- asset: hardware sha256 kernels, proved against the software oracle before they run
- sim: a declared map facing becomes a body's heading through one rule
- asset: the batch publish route, with the hostile cases it has to refuse
- asset: an example that asks a live store which assets carry a thumbnail
- asset+sim: the two modules their own commits already declared
- asset: ActorDef::scaled — every linear quantity follows the map's person height — plus the place-dump and retire-stale store examples, and the game chat context stops reporting work it did not do
