{"n": 1, "what": "read the brief, the SCION 13 prompt, the score; looked at one still each of PAE-00 (paper cut-out, side view), 41 (smooth 3D shepherd, 3/4) and 17 (flat construction paper, side view)", "saw": "all three draw a solid-silhouette dog; none has a coat made of loose pieces", "changed": "chose a dog made entirely of layered crepe/tissue fringe hung on a hidden armature of discs, so its secondary motion IS its body", "result": "plan"}
{"n": 2, "what": "solver smoke test in node over 768 frames", "saw": "NaN in fur and person strands from frame 1", "changed": "a strand parameter named v collided with the velocity array s.v; renamed to q", "result": "stable, 5 s for 768 frames"}
{"n": 3, "what": "first stills (0.5, 3.6, 9, 19, 28 s), camera yaw -16 deg (room side)", "saw": "fringe reads as a picket fence / mop; sky bands offset off screen; eye-visibility sign wrong; near jamb cut face hides the lying dog's neck; curtain too saturated; a head turned into the room would face the camera from this side", "changed": "flipped the camera to the porch side (yaw +16 deg) so looking in shows the back of the head; house cut at the door's near edge (no near jamb); fixed far flats; curtain muted", "result": "staging reads"}
{"n": 4, "what": "stills after the flip", "saw": "the dog a fringed box; tail a rake; curtain flung by the reaching arm and the door draft", "changed": "coat as overlapping shingles (upper rows over lower, sort key = depth + height), rounder torso, bigger head, long ears, denser tail plume, speed clamp after collisions, draft 2.4 -> 0.9", "result": "reads as a long-coated dog"}
{"n": 5, "what": "full scene render 1, contact sheets of the turns, the approach and the lying", "saw": "turns read in every frame; lying dog looked like a standing fringed box; look-in head hidden by curtain strips; person's feet at the dog's nose", "changed": "lying back height 0.30, coat rest direction spreads out and back when lying, curtain drawn to the far half of the doorway, neck stretches in on look-in, knees-up sitting pose", "result": "better"}
{"n": 6, "what": "look-in crops (26.6-27.6 s)", "saw": "nose drawn over the skull although the muzzle points away; ears read as horns", "changed": "muzzle drawn behind the skull when it points away; dark crown; ears rust and drawn over the skull from behind; semi-pricked", "result": "back of the head legible but small"}
{"n": 7, "what": "assemble + checker", "saw": "ALL OK, but measured facing (head vs torso centroid) flipped at 8.33 s, late, because the head looking back sits beside the shoulder", "changed": "facing measured from a snout mask vs a skull mask (where the muzzle points)", "result": "facing flips measured at 3.583 s and 7.583 s"}
{"n": 8, "what": "numeric assertions", "saw": "settle test failed (head lowering counted as coat energy) and flatten metric wrong (tips flatten backward, away from the mid disc)", "changed": "body-coat energy only; fur radial distance from the spine axis", "result": "8/8 pass"}

The ear-flick test now looks for the flick peak inside the 0.35 s reaction window, because at 26.4 the intentional ear-lowering swing after it is larger.", "result": "verified on film.mp4 full frame and cropped: ears hang (26.6-28.2), forepaws visible 24.6-31.9, legs and feet visible at every sampled frame 18.0-20.0, cards in Big Shoulders Display/Literata inside the frame, curtain behind the dog; checker ALL OK, 8/8 assertions, onsets unchanged"}
