Preserved rural originals, smoke-colour study and biome scenes

The previous goal turn made verified progress: commit 49ff731 deployed automatically and its 9,192-record live Atlas, 72 native files, 20 Atlas views and two gallery layouts passed. The full asset-quality goal remains active.

Twenty exact source/export pairs were individually inspected at their full native sizes. Their restricted internal-reference dispositions preserve documented defects and do not grant canonical artwork, game-world or rights approval. Every canonical source retains its prior action, including the existing Fishing Village V4 proposed-source context gate.

WOG-A-009260 is a separate preferred partial Lumber Village V3 colour repair. Exactly 1,175 chromatic smoke pixels inside a manually bounded domain become neutral grey using rounded source luminance. Every alpha sample, native 1254 by 1254 canvas, smoke silhouette and outside-mask RGBA byte is exact. Maximum luminance rounding delta: 0.48440000000002215. Full native original/study and true-alpha light/dark crop pairs were directly inspected. An initial 213-sample mask left visible tint and was refined in place; only the final selected native study remains. Smoke shape/material, residual tint beyond the mask, finite role, terrain/waterwheel contact, scale/state, normal world, full cost/lifecycle, admission and actual live-game use remain open.

Original SHA-256: 344514f2981ae0bdbc65914e32d325668435780d10d0af05b3d3c1f4489f0520. Final SHA-256: 5604c4a7df677b5f22f19a53fa0d6cb6fad40623e3849c54ff663228fce62fad.

All 44 previously captured complete Hex witnesses were directly inspected across current/private samplers, eleven profiles and desktop/phone. Ten native source records receive profile-specific findings; hills and grasslands share native pixels but keep separate spans and physical-scale review. Wider coverage loosens several long diagonal rows, while recognizable motifs, density/direction, physical grain and forest foreground separation remain unaccepted. Region visual review remains separate; the prior exact return/reload and Hex foreground observations are not a full visual/performance approval. No new world frames, source permissions or renderer activation are claimed.

The library now contains 9193 files and 9216 ledger records. There are 234 initial reviews remaining, next WOG-A-008046, plus the complete existing canonical/artwork/context/runtime backlog. Every original, approved reference, selected final and both Citadel hamlets is preserved. Full raw comparisons run in memory; no raw-frame cache or rollback snapshot was created.

WOG-A-008025 / WOG-A-003964

Five distinct timber/plaster houses, orange/blue/ochre roofs, two net racks, beach boats and a low dock form a detailed finite rocky cove. Narrow pale edges around some roof/tree silhouettes and the water/foam termination need compositing checks; the full subject is inside the native 1313 by 1198 canvas. Preserve the painted submerged stones, foam and rope detail.

Define a finite coastal settlement role and truthful shoreline/water footprint; qualify exact house/boat scale, net/roof silhouette contact and Region/Hex readability without inferring population or fishing production from the scene. Source/export SHA-256: 1fa63f4a0b7f62d58888bb8b43da930b98f746c10907c1a86bdc80f930c3bac6.

WOG-A-008026 / WOG-A-003965

Three large roof volumes overlook stepped quays, drying nets, a blue canopy, cargo and moored/beached boats. Rich turquoise water and submerged stones remain sharp; the upper-right chimney has conspicuously rounded flat grey smoke clumps, distinct from the finer material detail. The native 1295 by 1215 framing contains the subject without canvas-edge alpha.

Retain the original and inspect the chimney smoke on light/dark backgrounds before a bounded repair. Qualify the continuous pier, water boundary, boat scale and settlement role; painted barrels, nets and stalls do not establish active jobs or stock. Source/export SHA-256: 0f6e9d8b1e56055db5967bdc2adbdf8334bcd814dc48092f92edcb5fbdfd424e.

WOG-A-008027 / WOG-A-003966

Stepped orange/blue/ochre-roof houses and a small fish-weather-vane tower lead to a roofed quay, hoist, hanging nets, laundry and two boats. Three narrow chimney trails, foreground foam rings and small birds/figures are retained. The irregular finite water edge and dense many-subject composition need normal-scale checks.

Define the finite coastal role and mapped shoreline contact; preserve delicate smoke, weather vane, net strands and foam. Qualify small figure/bird/boat readability and state truthfulness without claiming interactive ships, fishing or residents. Source/export SHA-256: be2340ece90cae5227586d8cc37d7325ea6a53df877faff56fb14c5568b34510.

WOG-A-008028 / WOG-A-003967

The square original contains a tall lit tower, four principal house/shed volumes, steep masonry terraces, nets and low docks. Fine architecture is preserved; broad grey and violet-blue residue is visible around portions of the outer water perimeter. The linked replacement/context gate predates this review and remains in force.

Continue the existing proposed-native-replacement/context action, compare its own water boundary against this exact original and retain both selected output and original. Preserve genuine foam/reflections and tower/roof details; qualify tall-scene physical scale, coast contact and role rather than adding another unreviewed replacement. Source/export SHA-256: c13bb2fefac8a501c140ccc4934b25a05c2f157ba5d5abf1ee1a5471b0f1317d.

WOG-A-008029 / WOG-A-003968

A dense multi-level fishing settlement has a bright orange-capped beacon, varied house roofs, blue-striped stalls, long quays, several boats and foreground rocks in dark teal water. The rich finite composition remains inside its native 1298 by 1212 canvas. The broad painted water boundary and small cargo/boat details need contact and readability qualification.

Define whether the canonical role is a finite settlement illustration or a truthful world landmark. Qualify shoreline coverage, pier/boat scale and normal Region/Hex separation; keep stalls, housing and navigation-light behavior as depicted art unless current simulation supplies those functions. Source/export SHA-256: a6cd1bdb10fc7f745b0f73fab7d168bff50035f89738ff4338fc9f000052bf71.

WOG-A-008030 / WOG-A-004089

Three thatched cottage/shed volumes surround a roofed well, sheep pen and planted vegetable/grain beds, with a small stone windmill behind. Golden straw, masonry and foliage detail remain clear in the square original; the upper chimney smoke reads as blunt grey clumps. The finite grass/rock edge and two path exits need terrain contact qualification.

Preserve the original composition and separate depicted sheep, crops, well and mill from working simulation states. Inspect smoke on true-alpha light/dark backgrounds; qualify finite village role, door/path/ground contact and scale before world use. Source/export SHA-256: 1ecddd7e143ed0fa2b1049cf2f0229cee1f4ace24b2e2dad15ee5095b142b961.

WOG-A-008031 / WOG-A-004090

Three thatched houses and a central roofed well sit beside a sheep pen, cabbage rows, hay cart and small blue pond with short timber landing. Crisp native 1312 by 1199 detail is intact, with a dense finite grass/stone apron and no active smoke trail.

Define a finite hamlet role and match its authored pond/path footprint to real terrain. Qualify house, sheep and crop scale/contact and normal view separation; crops, housing, carts and water access stay depicted rather than granted gameplay functions. Source/export SHA-256: 2f2c0e92fcca60c10969d1a8586ac65a4335ef2e89308756d7afe1131f7efa99.

WOG-A-008032 / WOG-A-004091

Five compact thatch/slate cottages climb low terraces above a short blue shoreline, boat and landing, with a central well, sheep pen and mixed crops. Thin orange/pink specks outline portions of foliage and the outer ground silhouette on the dark view. Preserve the varied roofs and pale stone steps; assess those rim samples through alpha-aware compositing.

Keep the native 1312 by 1199 original; qualify finite shoreline/terrace contact and small-building scale. Trace any confirmed visible coloured boundary residue individually without removing roof highlights, crop colour, flowers or foam. Source/export SHA-256: fc5df019026b4ea1ad07a083bed74cfe26740316bec44b80118ab4fed7a31b61.

WOG-A-008033 / WOG-A-004092

The tall 1023 by 1537 original contains a conical thatched tower, two cottages, storage shelter, well and three front crop patches. Its slender uphill path and enclosing rocky apron are complete inside the canvas. Fine orange/pink rim specks occur around some tree tips and the outer rock edge; the unusual canvas size is native, not a padding error.

Preserve the portrait canvas and golden edge detail. Define the canonical finite role and physical tower/house scale, then qualify root/path/terrain contact and boundary compositing rather than reshaping the scene to a square. Source/export SHA-256: 5ebecd79bf632670d676d389e8b7977e46de45c099cfd573d8493052b51a551b.

WOG-A-008034 / WOG-A-004093

Three thatched houses and a barn-like cart shed surround a well, small garden, laundry, hay cart and sheep pen. The square native scene keeps crisp straw, fence rails, garden leaves and a varied rock/grass perimeter, with wide paths connecting several edge exits.

Retain this original and qualify the finite hamlet footprint and actual path/terrain contacts. Check scale and readability of sheep, laundry and carts without turning static buildings/crops into unsupported settlement, housing or production state. Source/export SHA-256: ee18ba8271ba8f9b1ca21798e5cac92246b3dab222ae3d1c69cf53790b1aca02.

WOG-A-008035 / WOG-A-004114

A square terraced hill scene has a flag-bearing upper cottage, four lower house/shed volumes, a well, hay cart, cabbage and grain beds. Golden straw and pale masonry remain sharp; the upper chimney plume is a chunky pale shape with thin pinkish fringes, while other small chimneys sit among trees. Paths and cliff steps belong to a finite authored hill.

Qualify the finite hill footprint, vertical house/step scale and terrain/path contacts; inspect the smoke through true-alpha backgrounds before any constrained repair. Depicted flag, food beds, well and cart remain separate from live simulation authority. Source/export SHA-256: 2aa6e935550bfe005adc18d8306d5f125e98f68cf473ad446ea1577637d0c297.

WOG-A-008036 / WOG-A-004115

Four thatched cottage volumes and a small shed step down a triangular rocky hill toward a well, sheep pen and seedling rows. Native 1312 by 1199 framing preserves the broad low terrace and detailed fencing. Fine warm contour highlights are visible; they are not by themselves permission to trim the silhouette.

Keep the original wide native proportions and qualify hill/terrace contact, consistent house/sheep scale and normal-view separation. Preserve planting rows as intentional finite scene detail; they are not a mesh-background pattern or a working farm contract. Source/export SHA-256: df8c6b681242b3d74b1c8618ef97e574965db9a9041cfb0358284df2fed35298.

WOG-A-008037 / WOG-A-004116

Several small thatched homes climb rocky terraces above a short stone bridge, dock, boat and water channel. Fine stair masonry, a blue-striped stall, vegetables and grain remain detailed. A small smoke trail appears above the upper-left tree without a clearly visible outlet, and the lower water edge contains a narrow grey/violet fringe.

Trace smoke/outlet intent and alpha-aware water boundaries before editing; preserve possible occluded-source smoke and genuine foam until resolved. Qualify a truthful finite bridge/channel/hill role and scale/contact; painted bridge, stall and boat do not add routes or shipping gameplay. Source/export SHA-256: 513553d50657d9d8d1c1953d3cd65caf59a1179ec7e9f5655ced60f90a3eaf05.

WOG-A-008038 / WOG-A-004117

The tall 1024 by 1536 original has four golden-roof cottages, a prominent windmill, a lower watermill/wheel, two short cascades, terraces and crop beds. Smoke rising behind the left rock is partly occluded, while the upper chimney has a separate pale plume. Water and steep cliff geometry are authored into this finite scene.

Preserve the portrait and treat partly occluded smoke as unresolved rather than deleting it. Require truthful river/elevation/flow and path contact, house/mill scale and role/state agreement; neither static wheel nor windmill establishes a working production chain. Source/export SHA-256: 7f914299e7fcfbee9a65a24cf820705f8f4334001cc1e6b118458a3d853fe34f.

WOG-A-008039 / WOG-A-004118

Varied red, blue and thatched roofs fill a broad stepped hill village, with a blue-roof windmill, open hay shelter, roofed well, sheep pen and several crop terraces. The upper chimney has a pale S-shaped trail; detailed fencing and rock faces remain intact inside the square canvas.

Qualify the finite terraced footprint, repeated-house physical scale, door/path contact and normal Region/Hex readability. Keep working mill, population, crops and livestock state unclaimed; preserve native straw/stone detail during any future boundary correction. Source/export SHA-256: 7fa51d5e1fa6d7e02bec36a9b0eb857e9eb1a650b49c147810efb11854284fd3.

WOG-A-008040 / WOG-A-004214

The square original depicts a blue-roof timber workshop, two open lumber sheds, log stacks and a fenced yard with an axe stump and hoist-like machinery. The name says village, but the visible composition principally reads as a lumber work yard. The chimney plume is a compact, dark grey zigzag above detailed masonry.

Define its actual finite workshop/settlement role from current gameplay and source intent, preserving logs, grain, roofs and tool detail. Inspect smoke and qualify ground/log/house physical scale and dormant/working/cleared state; no timber stock or saw production is inferred from the illustration. Source/export SHA-256: a6d3cf65fb3c3ec7812c7b505a5b335df95313a6de6a71d0a76bff8854be57a3.

WOG-A-008041 / WOG-A-004215

A slate-roof workshop and log shelter sit beside an outdoor circular saw, suspended log crane and a narrow cascading stream with a timber crossing. The building-side waterwheel is spatially separate from much of the visible falling water and needs a truthful mechanism/contact review. Fine native 1313 by 1198 wood and stone detail is preserved.

Qualify stream/wheel/bridge geography and finite yard footprint, then normal-scale tool/log readability and role/state. Preserve the original instead of inventing flow or active machinery; the illustration alone does not establish a working sawmill chain. Source/export SHA-256: 17b5515a905d12eb310f0c2bdba1a0cb91962990282ba37e7c72b90a46a405f8.

WOG-A-008042 / WOG-A-004216

A blue-roof central timber building, watch platform, log shelter, cart and water-powered mill fill a finite rocky clearing. The main chimney smoke has conspicuous pink/cream blobs below broad grey puffs, contrasting with the detailed timber and roofs. Lower water edges and the covered wheel/sluice need normal contextual checks.

Preserve every architecture, tree, log, cart, stone and water pixel during any bounded smoke repair. Qualify the finite lumber-yard role, truthful waterwheel/stream contact, physical grain and dormant/working states without granting stock, surveillance or production mechanics. Source/export SHA-256: 344514f2981ae0bdbc65914e32d325668435780d10d0af05b3d3c1f4489f0520.

WOG-A-008043 / WOG-A-004217

The tall 1024 by 1536 scene contains a slate-roof timber workshop, elevated waterwheel/sluice assembly, open log shelter, swinging log crane, cart and foreground stacks under large firs. Native beams, shingles, chain links and wood grain are crisp; no smoke plume needs replacement.

Preserve this detailed portrait without flattening or square padding. Qualify the finite yard and actual water elevation/flow, crane/log scale and ground contact; a depicted power linkage is not a live working production contract. Source/export SHA-256: ccb7cf8595cdca2563aff6fc342331aa1b088a5d72259855e06cb43d9c01362c.

WOG-A-008044 / WOG-A-004218

Blue and golden roofs surround a timber yard with hoist, small central fire, log piles and a lower waterwheel structure. A finite stream carries several painted floating logs past a short crossing; the chimney smoke forms small grey clumps with a diffuse top. The square original keeps fine rings, beams, fences and fir foliage.

Define the finite workshop role and qualify stream/wheel/log contact and physical scale. Keep floating painted logs separate from transported simulation cargo, and fire/smoke separate from a working-state claim; preserve the original during any localized correction. Source/export SHA-256: dd99bb35f2ad754c12a50d53557c6f4a9aa675e2eb647f4b9547353ed84ff485.
