A glance, a blink, a breath

What makes a neighbor feel present while they wait, speak or tend a garden? Stable individual schedules now vary breathing, glances and blinks. A fresh changed public utterance drives a small rounded speaking mouth and gestures; nearby outdoor neighbors can briefly look toward it. Resting eyes wait for route arrival, private-room copies reset to neutral, and changing appearances preserves independent mesh and importer ownership. Clicking a resident focuses and follows them more closely. The reviewed history retains each visual iteration: 02 initializes closed eyes but has an angular speaking mouth; 03 rounds the mouth; 04 makes the studio bake the current skin explicitly and exposes standing-contact refinement; 05 extends shoe support and uses a three-quarter camera. The earlier private studio film had stale rendered limbs despite correct baked geometry and is not accepted as the motion demonstration. The new stills are actual Unity studio renders of manually selected public fixture poses, not evidence of autonomous conversations or gardening. The final standing-contact rerun and native build remain the next check at this entry. Measured snapshot from the earlier complete validation: 77/77 motion, 112/112 face-attention-appearance, 45/45 seating checks, and 390 Python tests passed.

These are fixture checks on that source; they precede the broader standing-support extension in the pictured b4e60338702a pass. Tests verify transitions, original/child variants, route corners, geometry, clone/transfer isolation and an unchanged paused world; the Python suite also covers persistence, privacy and budgets.
