wuwiandClaude Opus 5 bcff17812f Draw the whole serve right-handed, and let the pull wind it up
The racket kept changing hands because the art disagreed with itself: p_idle,
p_bounce and p_toss held it in his LEFT hand while p_smash and p_swing used his
right, so every new frame copied whichever reference it was handed. The idle, the
bounce pair, the toss and the four wind-up frames are all regenerated with the
side named — drawn from behind, his right hand is the right-hand side of the
image, and only the racket HEAD crosses behind his back.

What separates the four wind-up stages is how far the racket has fallen, and that
needed the racket head pinned to a body landmark per frame — above his head,
beside his ear, between his shoulder blades, at the back of his thighs. Described
as "further into it each time" it drew four near-identical poses twice running.
They are wired late in the pull, Oliver's call: frame 1 owns the first half and
the three coiled frames are packed into the top half.

assets/_derive.py is deleted. Fixing generated art by mangling it afterwards is
always worse than regenerating; three guards in _regen.py turn the bad rolls that
used to install silently into automatic re-rolls — a portrait reference canvas
(the generator answered with a 2x2 grid), a non-magenta background (a green sheet
keyed away four racket heads), and a mirrored frame.

The bounce pair is one drawing from one sheet now, differing only in the free
hand, so BOUNCE_IDLE moved to his left side and was re-measured off the sprite.

# _regen.py — redraw a batch of sprites at real pixel-art resolution, end to end.
#
# python3 assets/_regen.py shambler_a # one batch
# python3 assets/_regen.py --list # what batches exist
# python3 assets/_regen.py --all # everything not already done
#
# Per batch it: builds a reference sheet from the sprites in the repo, asks the generator to redraw
# them at HIGH art resolution (the style block below is the whole point — the previous prompts asked
# for "big chunky pixel blocks", which is a specification for coarse art), slices with _fine.py,
# colour-matches each frame onto what it replaces, and installs — but only if the sheet passes its
# checks: right number of frames, nothing touching a canvas edge (that is what clipped z_f1), and a
# real gain in inner-edge density (the number that tracks "is the drawing actually finer").
#
# Failures leave the sprites alone and print why, so a batch can just be re-run.
