FINAL REVISION REVIEW — technical PASS; visual REVISE

Root author inspected the actual final PNGs: details_thatch_grid.png,
renders/thatch_panel.png, renders/thatch_ridge.png, runtime_assembly_cottage.png,
runtime_sign_boot.png, kit_sheet.png, test_house.png.

Independent reviews are retained verbatim in critic_revision.txt (Haiku) and
critic_followup.txt (Gemini). Both return REVISE, but contain factual image-reading
errors; neither is adopted wholesale.

Confirmed improvements: weathered grey-brown directional reed albedo and aligned
normal maps; thick cut-stem cross-section; small eave tufts; three visible hazel
bindings per ridge; board-free dark brown boot with existing lighter sole edge.

Remaining: reed strands remain overly continuous/regular, and the eave silhouette
is scalloped rather than convincingly shaggy. These are visual shortcomings, not
technical validation failures. The three-revision skill cap is reached; no claim
of full visual acceptance is made.

Review reconciliation: first review's missing-ridge-bindings and clay-runtime
claims are disproved by the final images and the second review. Second review's
'half-unlit split diagnostic' claim misreads the ordinary light/shadow boundary.
The boot's existing sole edge is visibly lighter than its dark leather body;
removing its cuff/sole trim is not part of this revision's brief.

Geometry and runtime: 298 triangles panel; 246 ridge; 25,072 kit. Twenty frozen
names, identity node frames and declared placement contracts retained. No zero-area
triangles or nonfinite attributes. All 33 original shared texture files identical.
Measured asset-only draws: kit 61 -> 63, assembly 86 -> 92. Chromium SwiftShader
captures verify material loading; no GPU performance claim.
