The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets that your branch lacks;

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets that your branch lacks;

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets that your branch lacks;

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat that your branch lacks;

the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123 that your branch lacks;

Maybe there's already a tool for this, but auto mode means the journal will nudge. Auto mode enabled will nudge the agent, whatever mode it's in.\n- In builder mode, the nudges should be: \"Hey, there's an open to-do list item. Delegate it or start working.\"\n- If we detect that more than 50% of the file edits are done by subagents or workers, then we message these main agents saying, \"Hey, maybe you should start doing some work yourself too. Otherwise, you're just an orchestrator.\"\n- In orchestrator mode, we have sequences, so maybe we could also use sequences for builder, but it doesn't really need a sequence. The sequences in orchestrator mode kind of keep it in check. That's how it works in orchestrator mode.\n- Solo mode, of course, is different.\nDo you see where I'm going?; answer by opening your turn with [!reply:25527]", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

Of course, each one should have unique idle animations, but also there can be some shared idle animations, I think.

Just the proposal of what to implement, not implementing the extra animation, or rather, if that's possible.

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width) that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py;

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width) that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has that your branch lacks;

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527.

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends;

the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it;

Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides.

The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size.

The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards.

Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527.

{"content": "helper 239, Signor Bernini, reported in message 25725 \u2014 read it, then take it with the sequence journal sequence run <Taking a helper's report> --about helper:239; journal helper finish 239 once its work is taken or dropped; this branch has commits A 3D toon prototype of the butler mascot plays beside the 2D rig in the showcase, A standalone preview page shows the 3D butler in four frames, drawn by the scene module the toon player now shares, The preview page opens with a large view of the 3D butler that turns on its own, follows a drag and plays its moves in turn, The butler is modelled in Blender: a shared body with bones and three moves, dressed with the butler's own assets, each a glTF the toon scene hangs on the body's bones, Blender's backup file stays out of the models folder, The build script for the shared body and the butler's assets, with seven face sets, The butler is rebuilt after the drawn art: a rounded visor with crescent eyes and no mouth, nine swappable eye sets, the tray held beside the head, a collar and lapels, chunky headphones, longer legs, a breathing idle, a walk that rolls the feet, true colours and half the mesh, Homie, Coach, Colleague and Squire are built on the shared body as asset sets from their drawn art, and the butler's eyes, ears and lean follow the art, Each voice matched to its art part by part: the squire's rounded knight's helmet with a slit visor, flowing plume, scarf, star shield, feather sword and cape; the coach's hoodie with drawstrings and a bar chart; the colleague's desk; the homie's bean bag. The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527.

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept, A full sweep of every piece and every part after the reshapes: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.851, coach 0.781, colleague 0.836, homie 0.780, squire 0.716, The squire's legs are slim jointed plates as drawn, cuisse and greave narrower with dark rings at knee and ankle over a slim dark undersuit, the shared body's legs thinner beneath every voice's trousers, and the two grey seam lines that had floated off his chest plate are gone: colour kind as reloaded 0.716 to 0.728, The butler's, coach's and homie's shoes and trousers refitted over the thinner shared legs: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.860, coach 0.785, homie 0.775 (the homie had read 0.780 when the shared body's thick cream shins showed above his sneakers where the drawing has cream collars, a match by accident), The colleague's sneakers are blue with cream soles and toes, as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.836 to 0.846, The homie's folded forearms lie low on his belly with his hands stacked in front, as drawn, his pieces refitted to them: colour kind as reloaded 0.775 to 0.795, A piece's whole fit, its own and its part's, is one matrix applied to its unfitted place and split into position, turn and scale once, so a stretched and turned piece loads exactly as the sweep fitted it; splitting after each fit had dropped the shear twice and moved the coach's clipboard and hands on reload. The unfitted place is kept on the mesh for the sweep to start from, The coach's clipboard stands upright at nine tenths its size, held against his chest as drawn, his pieces refitted to it: colour kind as reloaded 0.788 to 0.806, A full sweep of every piece and part now that fits load exactly as swept: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.864, coach 0.810, colleague 0.848, homie 0.804, squire 0.740, The colleague's shirt folds are pale lavender, as the drawn shirt's blue fold shading: colour kind as reloaded 0.848 to 0.849, The butler's coat tails are lined in blue violet as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.864 to 0.865 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept, A full sweep of every piece and every part after the reshapes: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.851, coach 0.781, colleague 0.836, homie 0.780, squire 0.716, The squire's legs are slim jointed plates as drawn, cuisse and greave narrower with dark rings at knee and ankle over a slim dark undersuit, the shared body's legs thinner beneath every voice's trousers, and the two grey seam lines that had floated off his chest plate are gone: colour kind as reloaded 0.716 to 0.728, The butler's, coach's and homie's shoes and trousers refitted over the thinner shared legs: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.860, coach 0.785, homie 0.775 (the homie had read 0.780 when the shared body's thick cream shins showed above his sneakers where the drawing has cream collars, a match by accident), The colleague's sneakers are blue with cream soles and toes, as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.836 to 0.846, The homie's folded forearms lie low on his belly with his hands stacked in front, as drawn, his pieces refitted to them: colour kind as reloaded 0.775 to 0.795, A piece's whole fit, its own and its part's, is one matrix applied to its unfitted place and split into position, turn and scale once, so a stretched and turned piece loads exactly as the sweep fitted it; splitting after each fit had dropped the shear twice and moved the coach's clipboard and hands on reload. The unfitted place is kept on the mesh for the sweep to start from, The coach's clipboard stands upright at nine tenths its size, held against his chest as drawn, his pieces refitted to it: colour kind as reloaded 0.788 to 0.806, A full sweep of every piece and part now that fits load exactly as swept: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.864, coach 0.810, colleague 0.848, homie 0.804, squire 0.740, The colleague's shirt folds are pale lavender, as the drawn shirt's blue fold shading: colour kind as reloaded 0.848 to 0.849, The butler's coat tails are lined in blue violet as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.864 to 0.865 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept, A full sweep of every piece and every part after the reshapes: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.851, coach 0.781, colleague 0.836, homie 0.780, squire 0.716, The squire's legs are slim jointed plates as drawn, cuisse and greave narrower with dark rings at knee and ankle over a slim dark undersuit, the shared body's legs thinner beneath every voice's trousers, and the two grey seam lines that had floated off his chest plate are gone: colour kind as reloaded 0.716 to 0.728, The butler's, coach's and homie's shoes and trousers refitted over the thinner shared legs: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.860, coach 0.785, homie 0.775 (the homie had read 0.780 when the shared body's thick cream shins showed above his sneakers where the drawing has cream collars, a match by accident), The colleague's sneakers are blue with cream soles and toes, as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.836 to 0.846, The homie's folded forearms lie low on his belly with his hands stacked in front, as drawn, his pieces refitted to them: colour kind as reloaded 0.775 to 0.795, A piece's whole fit, its own and its part's, is one matrix applied to its unfitted place and split into position, turn and scale once, so a stretched and turned piece loads exactly as the sweep fitted it; splitting after each fit had dropped the shear twice and moved the coach's clipboard and hands on reload. The unfitted place is kept on the mesh for the sweep to start from, The coach's clipboard stands upright at nine tenths its size, held against his chest as drawn, his pieces refitted to it: colour kind as reloaded 0.788 to 0.806, A full sweep of every piece and part now that fits load exactly as swept: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.864, coach 0.810, colleague 0.848, homie 0.804, squire 0.740, The colleague's shirt folds are pale lavender, as the drawn shirt's blue fold shading: colour kind as reloaded 0.848 to 0.849, The butler's coat tails are lined in blue violet as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.864 to 0.865 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept, A full sweep of every piece and every part after the reshapes: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.851, coach 0.781, colleague 0.836, homie 0.780, squire 0.716, The squire's legs are slim jointed plates as drawn, cuisse and greave narrower with dark rings at knee and ankle over a slim dark undersuit, the shared body's legs thinner beneath every voice's trousers, and the two grey seam lines that had floated off his chest plate are gone: colour kind as reloaded 0.716 to 0.728, The butler's, coach's and homie's shoes and trousers refitted over the thinner shared legs: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.860, coach 0.785, homie 0.775 (the homie had read 0.780 when the shared body's thick cream shins showed above his sneakers where the drawing has cream collars, a match by accident), The colleague's sneakers are blue with cream soles and toes, as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.836 to 0.846, The homie's folded forearms lie low on his belly with his hands stacked in front, as drawn, his pieces refitted to them: colour kind as reloaded 0.775 to 0.795, A piece's whole fit, its own and its part's, is one matrix applied to its unfitted place and split into position, turn and scale once, so a stretched and turned piece loads exactly as the sweep fitted it; splitting after each fit had dropped the shear twice and moved the coach's clipboard and hands on reload. The unfitted place is kept on the mesh for the sweep to start from, The coach's clipboard stands upright at nine tenths its size, held against his chest as drawn, his pieces refitted to it: colour kind as reloaded 0.788 to 0.806, A full sweep of every piece and part now that fits load exactly as swept: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.864, coach 0.810, colleague 0.848, homie 0.804, squire 0.740, The colleague's shirt folds are pale lavender, as the drawn shirt's blue fold shading: colour kind as reloaded 0.848 to 0.849, The butler's coat tails are lined in blue violet as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.864 to 0.865 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept, A full sweep of every piece and every part after the reshapes: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.851, coach 0.781, colleague 0.836, homie 0.780, squire 0.716, The squire's legs are slim jointed plates as drawn, cuisse and greave narrower with dark rings at knee and ankle over a slim dark undersuit, the shared body's legs thinner beneath every voice's trousers, and the two grey seam lines that had floated off his chest plate are gone: colour kind as reloaded 0.716 to 0.728, The butler's, coach's and homie's shoes and trousers refitted over the thinner shared legs: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.860, coach 0.785, homie 0.775 (the homie had read 0.780 when the shared body's thick cream shins showed above his sneakers where the drawing has cream collars, a match by accident), The colleague's sneakers are blue with cream soles and toes, as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.836 to 0.846, The homie's folded forearms lie low on his belly with his hands stacked in front, as drawn, his pieces refitted to them: colour kind as reloaded 0.775 to 0.795, A piece's whole fit, its own and its part's, is one matrix applied to its unfitted place and split into position, turn and scale once, so a stretched and turned piece loads exactly as the sweep fitted it; splitting after each fit had dropped the shear twice and moved the coach's clipboard and hands on reload. The unfitted place is kept on the mesh for the sweep to start from, The coach's clipboard stands upright at nine tenths its size, held against his chest as drawn, his pieces refitted to it: colour kind as reloaded 0.788 to 0.806, A full sweep of every piece and part now that fits load exactly as swept: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.864, coach 0.810, colleague 0.848, homie 0.804, squire 0.740, The colleague's shirt folds are pale lavender, as the drawn shirt's blue fold shading: colour kind as reloaded 0.848 to 0.849, The butler's coat tails are lined in blue violet as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.864 to 0.865 that your branch lacks; tests it wrote, for you to run: src/features/agent_sessions/test.py, src/features/attachment_descriptions/test.py, src/features/auto_update/test.py, src/features/checks/test.py, src/features/dev_faults/test.py, src/features/file_feed/test.py, src/features/plugins/test.py, src/features/put_off_work/test.py, src/features/session_briefing/test.py, src/features/terminal/test.py, src/web/tests/mascotSway.test.js, src/web/tests/planReviewers.test.js, src/web/tests/toon.test.js, tests/test_the_flows.py", "meta": {"from": "journal"}}

This time, you will be the critique. You will go back and forth with the 3D artist, and you will dispatch workers to handle all the other to-do items and do the sizing.

The preview page draws every view from one renderer, so the browser drops no contexts, Each voice is posed and framed as its drawing and laid over it on the preview page, with a difference image; the heads are near half the figure as drawn, the squire's helmet encloses the head with a slit visor, the caps have peaks, the colleague has thick glasses and a desk scene, the homie a bean bag behind him, and the hands hold what the drawings show, The butler's drawn pose levels the tray, the squire's sword rises, and the bean bag sits lower behind the homie, The visor stretches with each face: wide eyes open it, sleepy and angry eyes narrow it, Closer silhouettes: bulkier jackets, shirt and plate, the squire's plume flowing to the side, a longer towel, and wider stances in the drawn poses, The visor is flush with the head: a dark glossy panel drawn in a texture on the head's surface with the eyes on it, one texture per expression after the 2D rig's eye shapes, swapped on the head's material; the extruded visor and the eye meshes are gone, The critics' list worked in order: the eyes wide-set and symmetric at the measured size on the flush visor, chibi proportions with a bigger head, chunky hands and feet and thicker legs, the parts grown as the drawings have them, the drawn poses, and a finish of two soft cel bands, a violet shadow and rim light and an indigo outline, The butler after Sir Jesse's notes: each leg one smooth tapered shape, the visor and eyes measured off the drawn head and eye images, alert lidded eyes with the head held up, a crisp bow tie with wings and a knot, and a long wide coat with a tail on each side, The overlays compare each voice at rest with the rest frame of its 2D idle animation, the mascot as the chat shows it, scaled and aligned by the silhouette, The butler holds the tray at chest height and the squire's sword goes up diagonally, as their 2D rest frames show, Against the 2D rest frames: the butler tips his hat at rest with the tray at his chest and the towel on the tray arm, each move names the bones it takes from a voice's hold so a wave lifts the arm off the hat while the tray stays, the squire's sword shows to the right, and the coach rests with his fist by his side and a modest clipboard, The butler's rest eyes are the drawn open ovals, lids lifted, at the drawn size and centred on the visor, The butler's head is a round dome and the visor a wide black panel with rounded corners set into it, measured off Sir Jesse's drawn butler; the map's latitude runs up as the eye lift does; each voice's 2D rig at rest is rendered to toon-preview/rest/<voice>.png at 512 px and the overlay rows lay the 3D figure over its own, The overlay rows measure the trial render in cell units; the 3D butler is happy by default, blinks on the shared blink composable the 2D mascots use, and holds the tray out at shoulder height, The mascots never look static: at rest each sways on a loop of its own, a sitting voice dangling its feet, the squire's plume stirring and the butler's towel swaying, and the blink and the sway go on under reduced motion, which spares only the passages, hops and acts, The preview page gives every voice a large turning view of its own beside its 2D rest pose, The 3D voices after messages 25158, 25159, 25161 and 25162: thicker legs and a longer coat after the 2D rest pose, the hat and headphone cups clear of the dome, the colleague with a mug only and a forehead seam, the homie with his arms crossed, the squire seated with the head itself as his helmet, the coach with his own shorter visor, happy arcs, a crown with a peak and a thumbs-up arm, and the overlays of the coach and the butler beside their drawings, The 3D voices rebuilt from their drawings: a squat oval head over a taller body with long arms, thick legs and big shoes, every voice (the butler too) built as assets, held pieces and a rest pose that may size a bone, the figure turned toward the viewer's right as every drawing is, the homie without the bean bag and the coach without a visor of its own, The colleague seated as drawn, her head at 1.45 and her glasses following its curve, the visor measured off the drawings and the face drawn at twice the size so it stays sharp on a larger head, The 3D voices stand straight but the colleague, lit by a pale sun over a violet fill that turns the drawn cream into its drawn shadow, with ink folds at knees and elbows, pockets, hems and seams, and loose cloth that swings on a spring: the towel, the coat tails, the cape, the plume, the scarf end, the whistle on its cord and the hood strings; moves are sampled straight onto the bones so a moment always gives the same pose, The squire's helmet shows its opening with an inked edge, and the homie's forearms fold across his front with his hands meeting over them, The squire's plume follows a smooth curve, thick in its middle and pointed at both ends, with a darker streak along it, The 3D voices after critique round 1: a taller head of the same width, two flat bands with a hard edge, one outline width on every part, flat tapered ink lines, longer legs and lower shoes, a neck for the coach and the colleague, every voice in its drawn pose with a standing stance for the homie and the squire, the poses in one file the build and the viewer both read, and the garment details the critics listed, The homie and the colleague lean back as drawn: a torso leans back on a negative turn, The squire's leap after his drawing: the near knee kicked forward, the far leg down, a larger heater shield held out to his right with his hand on its top edge, a closer plume and a cape that flies out behind him, The 3D voices after critique round 2: shading normals lean toward each part's centre so the band edge curves across cloth, the colleague's dark field is her two lenses, ink lines sit on the surface without gaps and only the drawn knee folds remain, the outline keeps still on thin parts, the coach wears wide tracksuit legs with spread stripes, a looped cord and a whistle spout, sneakers cover the shoe beneath, and the butler, homie, squire and colleague details the critics listed, The heads lose width as well as gaining height: a rest pose may narrow a bone across and through, the colleague's and homie's heads are narrower, the butler's too with a visor widened to keep its size, and the colleague, squire, coach, butler and homie poses move to the measured targets, Dark cloth carries its second band: the toon map is read at half the light's cosine plus a half, so the band edge moves to 17/32 where a surface turns from the sun, the sun sits on the right as drawn, and dark paints get a lifted lit band over a deeper shadow; with the measured pose corrections, the sneakers fitted over the shoe and the garment fixes of critique round 3, The visor is a screen of fixed size: each voice's width and height in metres, read off its drawing once, stand in toonPoses.json, and faces.py draws each voice's set for its own head so no expression or head shape changes the panel; heads are narrowed by size so they stay wider than tall and only the cream round the screen moves, each head turns toward the viewer as drawn, and the colleague's frames ring her fixed lenses, One hand builder for every voice: a mitten with three fingers and a thumb, built round what it holds in the posed hand's frame, with open, fist, thumbs-up, edge and wrap grips, and every held piece placed in its grip's hollow: the squire's quill in his fist, the coach's thumbs-up and board, the colleague's mug with its handle turned out, the butler's hat and tray, the homie's hands over his arms, Two shoe builders: a sneaker whose cream sole shelf hugs the upper, with an ink welt, a toe cap, a cream tongue, laces and a high collar, its upper blue or cream as each voice's drawing has it; and a low, long dress shoe for the butler with a sole lip, the feet set apart, Light and mid paints stay one flat tone: their shadow band takes only what is turned well away from the sun, while dark cloth keeps its lifted lit band over a deeper shadow, The butler alone, each part to its drawn number: the hat hand on the brim's front (centre 0.117 to 0.254 of his height, drawn 0.225), the tray at 0.368 (from 0.29, drawn 0.37), the shoes narrower and closer (span 0.49 to 0.39, drawn 0.41), a narrower stance, the near coat tail flared and the far one held in, no glare on the laptop, no ring round its badge and one cuff band; overlap 0.70 to 0.816, The squire alone, each part to its drawn number: his frame back to 2.25 m (from 2.82, which squeezed him into the cell), the lead leg reaching down so its boot is his lowest point (0.996 of his height, the shield's tip 0.989, from the shield at 1.002 and the boot at 0.72), a shorter heater shield raised on his arm (1.26 to 1.08 m tall), the body leaning less, the trailing leg swung back; overlap 0.527 to 0.668, The coach alone, each part to its drawn number: his thumbs-up a closed fist with a short thumb at 0.65 of the mitten's size (0.155 by 0.211 of his height to 0.12 by 0.125, drawn 0.092 by 0.123), his sneakers three quarters the size, a wider stance with the shins angled in, his own head size, the board arm lifted and a larger clipboard; built parts are sized about a point in their own frame; overlap 0.756 to 0.815, The colleague alone, each part to its drawn number: her elbows in from a T, the mug arm brought round so the mug sits at 0.357 to 0.516 of her height (from 0.28 to 0.38, drawn 0.40 to 0.52) with its top tipped toward the viewer and the coffee clear of the rim, a slighter lean, cream sneakers with a blue side panel; head and glasses untouched; overlap 0.800 to 0.839, The homie alone: his open hands at 0.6 of the mitten's size lying over his folded arms, the hood roll behind his neck, the drawstrings in front of the hoodie again, an inked seam on the cap's surface, the snapback window low at the front, and his screen restated from the drawing's fractions at his height (0.537 by 0.352 m, since his figure is 1.72 m where the screen was measured at 1.83); shins and head roll left where they were closed; overlap 0.853 to 0.854, The band edge is a drawn curve: each part's shading normal leans toward the line from its centre for each pixel, not for each vertex, so the edge between the two tones runs smooth and crisp however unevenly the mesh is cut, and light paints stay flat, The squire: the shield hangs from his hand by its top edge and sits further out, so his fingers leave the four-point sparkle in view and its tip clears the foot line, his shield arm is raised, the trailing leg tucks under him, and the knee and hip under-plates are bands round the joint instead of round balls that read as stains; overlap 0.668 to 0.707, The coach's legs: the near thigh less splayed and the near foot turned out, as drawn; overlap 0.815 to 0.828, Each screen holds the drawing's own size: width and height as fractions of the figure's height, with the figure height they are converted at, so a frame that moves no longer changes the screen silently; set so the rendered screen matches the drawing on every voice, all wider than tall, The colleague's lenses at her drawing's size, 0.134 by 0.130 of her height each against the drawn 0.134 by 0.123, The homie's screen sits lower on his head, as drawn: a screen may carry a drop of its own as a fraction of the figure's height; his centre 0.250 to 0.273 of his height against the drawn 0.278, overlap unchanged, The screen no longer changes when a 2D mascot blinks or moves: every move and the blink swapped the resting head for a second drawn head whose screen was another size (the squire's 56 by 30 against 51 by 29); bare_heads.py now draws a resting head with a bare screen, so the eye layer alone shows the eyes, and gives the head the moves swap in the resting head's screen pixel for pixel, refusing to write one whose screen differs, Every screen at its drawing's size: the squire's helmet is cut to his screen and loses the inked edge that merged with it, the coach's whole panel sits below his brim with the cap lifted off it (it had been taller than wide under the brim), the colleague's lenses are drawn under her frames so the frames alone set what shows, and the butler's and homie's are brought to the drawn numbers, The happy eye is drawn as the drawing draws it: a rounded bow half as high as it is wide, thinner over its top than at its ends, with rounded ends; only the eye artwork changes, never the screen, The outline keeps its weight against the figure at every distance: its width is set in the figure's own units and scaled by the camera's projection, so zooming out thins it and a close-up makes it bold; at chat size it is narrowed from 2.56 to 1.95 cell pixels, the drawn line's weight (edge runs 4, 4, 5, 7, 4 px at 512 against the drawn 3, 4, 5, 5, 4), One helper brings a voice's fixed screen into its head's own units, for the squire's helmet opening and the colleague's frames alike; the opening now follows the head's width as the frames already did (the same result under today's poses, which give the squire no width), The preview shows the shared body bare, with no assets and no face, turnable like the voices, its slots marked on it and listed beside it; the slots live in toonSlots.json, each with its bone and point, and Figure.bare loads the body as every voice starts from it, A test that every slot sits on bones the shared body has, One head for every voice, traced off the drawn colleague, the one voice whose whole head shows: the shared head is 1.11 times as wide and through as before (toonBody.json, which the build and faces.py both read), no voice sets a head width of its own any more, and each voice keeps only a size and a lift for its head. The coach's cap is cocked 20 degrees as drawn, the butler's bowler sits 0.05 lower, the homie's head is lifted out of his hoodie and rolled 6 degrees instead of 11, his cap's opening sits above its edge instead of on his forehead, and the squire's screen is converted at the 2.31 m he now stands. Slots for hair, shoulders, arms, hips and carrying over the arm are added, with the bones each may hang on, and the asset catalogue that will declare every piece's slot is drafted; the stale colleague laptop model, built by nothing, is removed, Every piece is an asset of its own on a slot of the shared body: the shoes, the sleeves and the trousers come out of the coats, suits, shirts, hoodies and armour, the hands out of the props they hold, the squire's headphones out of his helmet and his belt, vambraces and greaves out of his armour, and the headphones every voice wore under the butler's name are one shared piece. toonAssets.json declares each piece's slot, whether a torso piece brings sleeves and the slots it hides; the build refuses a piece it does not declare, a torso piece that does not say, and a part hung on a bone its slot does not give it, and the viewer dresses a voice as a map of slots to pieces, one per slot, leaving out what another piece hides. The colleague's laptop is built again, by the build, on a lap slot; the models the split replaced are removed, Every piece declares in full what it is: the slot it fills, the voices it is drawn for, whether it needs the cloth spring, the slots it hides, and for a torso piece whether it brings sleeves; the build refuses a piece missing any of them and one whose cloth claim its parts belie. What each voice wears is one map of slots to pieces in toonWardrobes.json, which the viewer dresses from and the build checks: a slot named twice is refused as the file is read, and a piece worn on a slot it is not declared for, or one the build does not make, is refused too. The lap slot shows only on a sitting figure, each stance in toonPoses.json saying whether it sits, so a laptop on a standing voice is hidden, Colour leads: the squire and the homie are posed by where their colours fall on the drawing, not only by their outline. The squire's legs reach down and to the right with the near knee bent and his boots 0.22 apart, fitted to the drawn knees and boots within a body's joint limits, and his arms bring the shield and quill over their drawn places; his held pieces are built in a grip pose of their own (toonPoses.json, grip) and hang rigid on his hands from there, so a turned arm turns its prop as the viewer shows it. The homie's head faces the camera as drawn and his torso sits lower in the seat, his screen kept at its drawn size. Colour kind against the drawing: squire 0.375 to 0.488, homie 0.470 to 0.564; silhouette squire 0.702 to 0.781, homie 0.864 to 0.876, Every voice is posed by where its colours fall on its drawing, its screen held at its drawn size while its head turns: colour kind against the drawing, butler 0.616 to 0.666, coach 0.520 to 0.605, colleague 0.559 to 0.708, homie 0.564 to 0.567, squire 0.488 to 0.482. Each voice's held pieces are built in its grip pose so they turn with its hands. The base body is bare: skin all over, plain feet smaller than any shoe, no default face; the butler, colleague and homie wear trousers of their own, the coach's trousers have a seat, and his sneakers are built at the drawn size, The colleague's mug is an upright cylinder about as tall as it is wide, at the drawn size (0.13 m across its radius, 0.26 m tall, measured off the drawing where it is 0.14 of her height across), with a small handle on the side toward her body, no longer tipped toward the viewer as a pan; her arms bring it to her chest. Colour kind 0.708 to 0.711, silhouette 0.917 to 0.918, A voice's grip pose is the whole chain its hands hang from, hips and torso as well as the arms, as they stood when its held pieces were drawn into the hands, so a rebuilt torso turn no longer moves a prop against its hand. The squire wears a dark undersuit under his plates, as his drawn joints are dark: the bare base body had taken away the dark of the painted trousers that showed between them, which is what moved his colour backwards. The homie's arms are posed by where their colours fall. Colour kind: squire 0.482 to 0.524, homie 0.567 to 0.593, butler 0.666, coach 0.605, colleague 0.711, The squire's shield face is smaller inside its cream rim, as drawn: colour kind 0.524 to 0.527. A dark boot sole was tried and measured worse, 0.514, and is not kept, Each voice wears each piece with a fit of its own, recorded in toonFits.json: a turn, a size and a shift about the bone the piece hangs on, applied as the figure is dressed, so every view and every rebuild starts from the fitted numbers. The fits were found by sweeping every piece of every voice alone about its own bone, scored by colour kind against the drawing and kept only when higher, the body and the camera never moved. Two sweeps, colour kind as loaded: butler 0.666 to 0.759, coach 0.605 to 0.698, colleague 0.711 to 0.782, homie 0.593 to 0.692, squire 0.527 to 0.584, A third sweep, with a moved cloth piece hanging afresh from where it now is, as it does on load, so what the sweep scores is what the figure loads as: colour kind butler 0.779, coach 0.707, colleague 0.785, homie 0.709, squire 0.624, No fit may crowd a screen: the butler's hat, hat hand and headphones and the colleague's glasses lose the fits that covered the edge of the screen or moved the frames off the lenses, so each screen shows at its drawn size again; the screens are converted at the figure heights they were set for, since the compare page's height estimate is not what a screen's fraction is measured against, A fourth sweep, guarded so no change may take a screen further from its drawn size: colour kind butler 0.768, coach 0.715, colleague 0.788, homie 0.713, squire 0.637, The sweep run to convergence, five more passes until a whole pass gained less than half a point, the record saved after every piece: colour kind butler 0.794, coach 0.730, colleague 0.793, homie 0.718, squire 0.644, A fit may stretch a piece along the bone's own axes as well as turn, size and shift it, the sweep searching each fit's own numbers from the piece's unfitted place so the record reproduces exactly; two stretch passes to convergence: colour kind butler 0.799, coach 0.738, colleague 0.798, homie 0.722, squire 0.647, The squire's plume flows back and to the left and droops at its tips as drawn, its lowest lock dark as the drawn underside; a fit may address one named part of a piece (bone#part, applied inside the piece's fit), so the plume, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind 0.647 to 0.654, The squire's shield parts fitted apart, its face, rim and star, on the drawn shield's shape; a wider shield was tried and measured worse on reload, so the drawn-proportion outline stays; colour kind as reloaded 0.661, The squire's plume keeps its built shape: remodelled to flow left and droop it measured the same on reload as the built one refitted (0.661 against 0.660), so the reshape earned nothing; its locks, crest, brow and slot are fitted apart from the helmet shell; colour kind as reloaded 0.660, Every multi-part piece of every voice fitted part by part, then each piece's part fits kept only where a reload shows them paying: the coach's hand and trouser part fits measured worse on reload than in the sweep and are dropped. Colour kind as reloaded: butler 0.839, coach 0.772, colleague 0.834, homie 0.771, squire 0.710, The squire's cape is longer and wider at its hem and sweeps out to his left behind his legs, as drawn, refitted with his armour: colour kind as reloaded 0.710 to 0.714, The butler's hat hand is three quarters the size, as the small drawn hand at his brim: colour kind as reloaded 0.840 to 0.842, The homie's cap keeps its built turn: turned 45 degrees further so its brim shows to the side, it measured worse on reload refitted (0.753 against 0.771) and is not kept, A full sweep of every piece and every part after the reshapes: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.851, coach 0.781, colleague 0.836, homie 0.780, squire 0.716, The squire's legs are slim jointed plates as drawn, cuisse and greave narrower with dark rings at knee and ankle over a slim dark undersuit, the shared body's legs thinner beneath every voice's trousers, and the two grey seam lines that had floated off his chest plate are gone: colour kind as reloaded 0.716 to 0.728, The butler's, coach's and homie's shoes and trousers refitted over the thinner shared legs: colour kind as reloaded butler 0.860, coach 0.785, homie 0.775 (the homie had read 0.780 when the shared body's thick cream shins showed above his sneakers where the drawing has cream collars, a match by accident), The colleague's sneakers are blue with cream soles and toes, as drawn: colour kind as reloaded 0.836 to 0.846, The homie's folded forearms lie low on his belly with his hands stacked in front, as drawn, his pieces refitted to them: colour kind as reloaded 0.775 to 0.795, A piece's whole fit, its own and its part's, is one matrix applied to its unfitted place and split into position, turn and scale once, so a stretched and turned piece loads exactly as the sweep fitted it; splitting after each fit had dropped the shear twice and moved the coach's clipboard and hands on reload.

Palette for the near-black viewer (#15161a): deep charcoal and slate, one accent only, soft indigo/violet #6366f1 to #8b8ff5, used for the key detail and a gentle glow behind the subject, small warm-silver highlights; no other bright colours.

So a session starting on an environment that already has a live one does not take it silently and does not stop the other by itself: the journal asks the user what to do. On take over, the session that was there is unbound from the environment and the new one holds it; otherwise the new session does not get the environment.

If they're part of the torso, they can say, \"Hey, render the torso, yes or no.\" If they're part of the head, render the head, yes or no.
