+# Prototype teaser capture
+
+Owner-requested 24-second local Telegram teaser, using Godot 4.7.2 native Movie Maker and ordinary FFmpeg editing. The route extends the existing machinery integration test: finite source material is extracted, refined and assembled through real commands before the scene is retained. The recorded commands build, dismantle and rotate a wall from one recovered plate, pack and relocate the fitted printer, replace an extractor head with a refinery head, and refine its actual 1 kg ice into water. Final snapshot validation and finite-material checks must pass.
+
+Existing ProceduralHabitatPreview, MachineryPreview and inventory meshes are rendered from current owner observations. Static close camera shots, capture-only lighting and compact edge captions differ from normal presentation. The normal HUD is hidden so it cannot obscure the machinery or wall. Debug labels, fixture IDs and the preview avatar are hidden. No canonical state grants, fabricated receipts, service listeners, external sends, new fonts/assets, generative image tools or game release are involved. Captions use the existing engine UI font. First-party geometry/capture code is MIT; existing engine font remains part of the engine runtime, not an added redistributed asset.
+
+Run in a clean isolated worktree after import:
+
+```powershell
+./tools/ci/capture-telegram-teaser.ps1 -Godot 'D:/Godot_v4.7.2-stable_win64.exe/Godot_v4.7.2-stable_win64_console.exe' -OutputDirectory 'D:/GitHub/Frontier Systems/var/captures/telegram-teaser'
+```
+
+The wrapper owns one bounded native process, disables external telemetry, isolates the user directory and removes its temporary override. It never opens a socket or touches the regular saved world. Capture is graphical on Windows using GL compatibility. Automated fixture and camera operation are disclosed onscreen; this is not footage of human play, controller/VR acceptance or a published build. Local media can be given to the owner for the explicitly requested personal teaser; no Telegram upload is performed by this route.
+
+Review native keyframes before encoding. Use H.264/yuv420p MP4, 1280x720, 30 fps and faststart for mobile sharing. Keep raw provenance and output hashes alongside ignored local media; do not add current internal gallery images to the teaser or upload it to other services.
+
+## Resumed camera pass, 2026-10-22
+
+The capture branch now includes the current integration branch's improved assets, machinery activity, walker poses and contextual UI. Four deliberate cuts separate construction, printer relocation, head replacement and material recovery. Each shot holds its subject while a small eased dolly adds depth; the last shot reframes toward the rebuilt wall before its placement command. Captions remain at the edges and the normal HUD stays hidden. This is an automated workshop demonstration, not first-person player footage.
+
+Acceptance requires a new native render showing each commanded object clearly before and after the change, no subject hidden by captions or geometry, smooth within-shot motion, and the existing finite-material assertions passing. Native verification and rendering are deferred while the independently owned Gaia restore holds runtime capacity. The source change alone is not visual acceptance or a finished video.
+
+## Dependency integration, 2026-10-29
+
+Integrated `dev-master` at `5b75fa462f0bab133a3f820c8d8234fdfe4d2f0d` without conflicts. The four shots and genuine command sequence are unchanged. The updated habitat preview hides its obsolete worksite wall through the existing `focus_production()` call. `teaser_choreography_test.gd` exposes the capture script's existing headless path to the standard Windows/Linux CI runner, including inherited machinery assertions and final finite-world checks. It does not render or establish camera quality.
+
+The retained October 22 capture belongs to `539e78da3686e0b77deb7da5eb041863d5ce0a9a`; it is not visual evidence for this integrated revision. No new local native execution or capture is authorized. Source readiness and CI review are separate from owner motion acceptance and a finished trailer.
