Scene assembly

Represent one gameplay object with one named semantic root. Put gameplay position, heading, rigid-body, collision, and behavior on that root. Put calibrated render transforms below it.

Consume the existing tuning record from calibrate-model exactly once. If it is missing, stop and calibrate the model; do not calculate or adjust asset tuning during assembly.

Assembly rules

• Name roots by gameplay role and use predictable names for repeated instances.
• Apply model calibration once inside the visual child; never reapply scale, grounding, or authored yaw during placement.
• Space neighbouring roots by their scaled footprints and pivot offsets from calibrate-model, not by pivot position. A non-90° authored yaw rotates a footprint, so reserve its larger horizontal extent as a conservative radius.
• Put rigid-body and collision components on the same root. Size colliders from measured bounds.
• Use local transforms below a parent and world transforms only for semantic roots.
• Keep UI, effects, cameras, and lights outside gameplay model hierarchies.
• Remove the root through its authoring surface's lifecycle. Unregister external events it owns.
• Do not scale rigid-body roots or skinned bones.

Prove placement

Declare intentional support, attachment, or containment relationships between roots. After a rendered frame, measure each relationship at the supported object's actual position. Use a mount point, collision ray, or geometry sample; use a support root's AABB maximum only when its top is flat across the full footprint. Record the signed contact gap: positive means floating and negative means penetration. A relationship name does not exempt the pair from this check.

Union descendant world meshInstance.aabb values for each semantic root and compare unrelated peer roots. Any intersection with positive depth on X, Y, and Z beyond a small tolerance is an unresolved placement failure: move the root from its calibrated footprint, or prove the apparent AABB overlap is empty geometry from at least two materially different views. Never accept one model inside another from a single screenshot.

Also check expected root counts, component descendants, aligned render and collider bounds, and role-based names. Compare final dimensions with each calibration record's intended size and reference object. Inspect composition and facing from images returned into your context by an image-capable browser tool. A saved screenshot path, screen coordinate, AABB, or visibility flag is not visual evidence. If you cannot inspect the image, report those claims unverified. Hierarchy and placement claims require runtime values logged from the application itself, as the apply-conventions skill describes.
