+## July 11 visual follow-up
+
+The implementation keeps the overlapping valley-wide white stroke/speck fields
+removed: those read as constant scratches or insects. In their place, one
+bounded controller produces sporadic groups of two or three terrain-aware
+calligraphic ribbons. Their tapered sage, warm amber, and pale aqua strokes are
+drawn head-to-tail by the shader, remain below 30% alpha, cannot stack, and
+share the prevailing direction used by deterministic tree-canopy motion and
+chimney smoke. The capture tool stages one gust so the next visual comparison
+does not randomly land during the intended quiet interval.
+
+The PNGs listed above still predate that gust-controller pass. A fresh Metal
+capture was unavailable when the code and headless mesh/shader checks landed,
+so do not use those images as evidence of the final ribbon opacity or terrain
+contact. Replace both images after running the capture command on the normal
+renderer and reviewing the staged mid-sweep gust.
+
+The day/night controller also reconnects to the authoritative simulation clock
+after scene startup and uses the correct sunrise/sunset color order, preventing
+lighting drift during speed changes or restoration.
+
+The player now uses a compact multi-part silhouette with a teal tunic, warm
+scarf/satchel accents, and velocity-driven walk motion. Collision, controls,
+and the elevated staggered follow camera are unchanged. The next visible gains
+should come from replacing remaining blockout architecture, strengthening work
+props, and improving terrain/color hierarchy—not from changing the camera
+language again.
