What this PR actually changes

1. Finger/hand retarget quality (the user-visible fix)

  • Hand-basis finger transport: finger curl is re-expressed through a per-side hand basis M = R_t·R_s⁻¹ (frame-independent), with a self-calibrating flexion basis — the source flexion axis is estimated from the clip's own curl data (articulation-weighted PCA over non-thumb deltas, sign from net curl) and the target axis from the knuckle line, so rigs with odd thumb/finger rest conventions no longer splay or over-bend fingers.
  • Parent-relative wrist transport: the hand follows the forearm's animated delta instead of an absolute frame (kills wrist fighting mid-motion).
  • Finger plausibility gate: source rigs with garbage finger data (e.g. "Animated Human Low Poly" — chains articulating 176° through the palm) hold the whole chain at bind instead of transporting impossible curls (neutral beats broken); emits an ai.assist.text_to_motion breadcrumb.

2. V1→V2 motion-library upgrade path

MotionLibrary::ensureLibraryBlocking now attempts a V2 (52-joint, fingers-as-joints) library download once per process when only a local V1 exists — users upgraded from older versions get finger data without a manual purge.

3. Library builder (curation) fixes

  • User curation overrides builder heuristics (an approved clip is never dropped by a quality gate).
  • Portable curation-file discovery (macOS nested AppData, XDG_DATA_HOME, LOCALAPPDATA); explicit --curation fails closed.

4. Retarget-anatomy diagnostics (env-gated, zero effect on normal runs)

AnimationMerger::debugDumpAnatomy + extraction raw-anatomy dumps + a toe-based naming-chirality check (QTMESH_T2M_DEBUG / QTMESH_EXTRACT_DEBUG). These instruments proved the retarget is transport-exact end to end and isolated the two real defects behind the "punch overhead / arms wide / legs crossing" reports:

Explicitly NOT in this PR

A stance-correction experiment was committed and reverted in-branch (net zero). The schema-v5 bind-relative transport research is parked on feat/t2m-schema-v5-bind pending #954.

Verification

  • Render-verified on Rumba: fingers correct on the low-poly jump, buildloop crouch preserved, chibi jump unchanged.
  • Ground-truth self-parity harness + in-process anatomy dumps: retargeted output matches the source's forearm-direction sequences through every post-pass.
  • 39/39 pure-data Motion tests pass; full suite on Linux CI.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…e, library upgrade path (#838)

Three fixes for 'weird fingers / twisted arm' on V2 clips (reported on the
low-poly jump):

1. HAND-BASIS finger transport. The canonical-frame conjugation
   (Ct⁻¹·Drel·Ct) assumes the source extraction frame equals the target
   bind frame; when they disagree (the documented C≠Ct class) the curl AXIS
   lands wrong — fingers bend sideways/backward instead of toward the palm.
   Fingers articulate relative to the HAND, so the curl is now re-expressed
   through each side's hand basis (finger direction + palmward-from-thumb),
   which is frame-independent. Falls back to the Ct conjugation when either
   basis degenerates. Gregorio buildloop hands verified unchanged (the
   quality bar).

2. Finger plausibility gate: a chain whose per-segment articulation exceeds
   120° at any frame holds bind (safety net for garbage source data).

3. V1→V2 library UPGRADE GAP: ensureLibraryBlocking early-returned whenever
   any local library existed, so pre-V2 installs never downloaded the V2
   (52-joint, curated) library and kept the V1 side-channel finger path.
   When only V1 exists the V2 download is now attempted once per process;
   offline/404 keeps the local V1 working.

Data (published to HF alongside this): block-hand rigs ('Animated Human Low
Poly' — the mesh has no fingers, its finger bones were never authored) now
ship with finger joints zeroed so targets hold their natural bind hands;
build-motion-library-v6.py gains FINGERLESS_SOURCES for rebuilds.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

V2 finger retargeting now rejects implausible chains and maps trusted articulation through calibrated hand bases. Motion-library loading now controls upgrades, timeouts, telemetry, preservation, and fallback. The build script now honors user-approved clips.

Changes

Finger retargeting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Finger validation and transport
src/AnimationMerger.cpp
V2 filtering rejects chains above 120° relative articulation. Valid chains calibrate hand-basis mappings and transport finger and wrist articulation. Rejected chains remain at bind pose. Canonical-frame conjugation remains the fallback.

Motion library upgrade and fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Motion library upgrade and fallback
src/MotionLibrary.cpp
V2 upgrades use process-level attempt limits and caller-provided timeouts. Existing V1 libraries use a 20-second timeout and remain available after failed upgrades. Fresh installations retain a five-minute timeout and limited V1 fallback. Sentry breadcrumbs record download events.

User curation override

Layer / File(s) Summary
User curation override
scripts/build-motion-library-v6.py
The build script loads approved sources from the specified curation file or known application-data paths. Approved clips bypass heuristic drops, but license-based drops still apply.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aa48b

The PR improves finger retargeting and motion-library handling, but the current head still has a build correctness risk where approved clips may be silently omitted or missed because curation files are validated and located inconsistently. Rejected finger-chain cases also lack required telemetry, making failures harder to diagnose; merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

P1 Badge Avoid blocking V1 users while attempting the upgrade

When only the legacy V1 library is installed, this new condition deliberately bypasses the existing early return and enters tryDownload, whose timeout is five minutes. Because listMotionClips() and the animation-generation paths call ensureLibraryBlocking() synchronously, an offline or stalled connection can now freeze an otherwise functional V1 user's UI/request for up to five minutes on every process launch before falling back to the local file. Keep serving V1 immediately and perform the V2 upgrade asynchronously, or use a short nonblocking availability check.

Fixed — the upgrade attempt (when a working V1 exists) now uses a 20s timeout instead of 5 minutes, once per process; offline/stalled connections fall back to the local V1 quickly. Fresh installs (nothing to fall back to) keep the long timeout. Fully async download would need a bigger refactor of the synchronous callers; the short-bounded once-per-process attempt keeps the upgrade automatic with a capped worst case.

Derive the per-side slot stride from the finger constants.

The transport math is correct. Line 3691 hardcodes 15 as the per-side finger slot count. The file already exposes MotionInbetween::kFingerCount and kFingerSegs, and the gate above hardcodes 5 and 3 for the same layout. If either constant changes, fSide maps left-hand joints onto the right-hand basis without any compile error.

…, don't drop it (#838)

Replaces the drop-the-data approach: the low-poly rig's finger curls are a
clean single-axis rotation (measured 0.998 axis concentration) — the data
was always fixable, only the basis estimate was wrong (its thumb rest
direction fools the palmward heuristic).

- SOURCE flexion axis: self-calibrated from the curl data itself — the
  dominant rotation axis of the non-thumb finger deltas (power-iterated,
  articulation-weighted), sign from the net curl (fingers flex far more
  than they extend). Used when concentration > 0.8.
- TARGET flexion axis: the KNUCKLE LINE (seg0 bone positions of
  index..pinky), sign chosen so +rotation curls toward the palm (thumb
  side) — no thumb-direction guessing on either side.
- Falls back to the thumb-palmward basis (rigs with sane thumb rests,
  e.g. Gregorio), then the Ct conjugation.
- The FINGERLESS_SOURCES builder drop rule is reverted; the library keeps
  the original finger data (republished to HF). The 120°/segment
  plausibility gate stays as a last-resort guard for truly impossible
  data only.

Verified: low-poly jump fingers now CURL naturally with the animation
(previously splayed backward); Gregorio buildloop + Chibi jump hands
unchanged; 42 tests green.

Update — the animation is now FIXED rather than dropped. Analysis showed the low-poly rig's finger curls rotate about a single consistent axis (0.998 concentration) — the data was good; the basis estimate was wrong (its odd thumb rest fooled the palmward heuristic). The new commit adds a self-calibrating flexion basis: the source axis is measured from the curl data itself (dominant rotation axis, articulation-weighted), the target axis comes from its knuckle line, and the thumb is only used for the palm-side sign. The FINGERLESS_SOURCES drop rule is reverted and the original finger data republished to HF — low-poly jump fingers now curl naturally with the animation; Gregorio/Chibi hands unchanged.

3858-3872: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Swap finger side mappings during handedness compensation.

fingerJointIndexV2 is side-major with a 15-joint stride, and side 0 maps to the right hand (role 9). However, compensateCanonicalHandedness() swaps only body roles. On mirrored V2 rigs, finger roles 22–51 remain on the original side while roles 9 and 13 swap. This makes tb.roleBoneIdx[hand] and tb.tgtBindDir[hand] refer to the opposite physical hand and can mirror the transported curl. Swap the V2 finger side while preserving finger and segment indices when the handedness compensation triggers.

Add a breadcrumb when finger chains are dropped.

The gate silently changes the generated animation for the user: whole finger chains hold bind pose. The report goes only to the Ogre log. Add SentryReporter::addBreadcrumb with the dropped-chain count, and do the same when the hand-basis calibration falls back to the Ct conjugation. Confirm the header is already included in this translation unit before you add the call. As per coding guidelines: "All user-facing actions and significant operations must be tracked with SentryReporter::addBreadcrumb(category, message)." Bearer tokens and absolute paths are not involved here.

Extract the delta iteration shared by both calibration passes.

This pass repeats the joint/segment/frame traversal, the rest-quaternion validation, the Drel computation, the hemisphere flip, and the 10° filter from Lines 3383-3419. The two copies must stay identical, because concentration = aligned / totW divides results of one pass by the accumulator of the other. A single lambda that yields (deg, ax) per accepted delta removes that coupling and makes the filter fix requested above apply once.

The aim+twist body path transports the hand's DIRECTION but its ROLL rides
the C≠Ct frame mismatch — raised arms rendered palm-out ('rotated arm' on
the low-poly jump). The hand joints (canonical 9/13) now take their FULL
source orientation through the same validated hand-basis map the fingers
use: Wt(f) = M · [clipQ·restQ⁻¹] · M⁻¹ · Wbind. Absolute on purpose — the
palm lands where the source intended even when the forearm chain carries
residual roll (the wrist skinning absorbs it, as forearm-twist rigs do).
Fingers ride the corrected hand as their parent automatically.

Verified: low-poly jump raised arm now angles naturally (palm in/down,
loose wrist); BuildLoop/CutLoop/Chibi hands remain natural; 42 tests green.

The absolute variant pinned the palm to the source's world orientation and
fought the target's arm as it moved — broken wrists in mid-motion frames
(user-reported). The hand now transports its WRIST articulation (delta
relative to the forearm) through the basis map, riding the target's
animated forearm — the same pattern the fingers use one level down. The
palm-out bind-axis mismatch is still corrected by the M conjugation; the
wrist stays smooth and faithful across the whole clip.

The importer fixes changed the measured arm posture of several clips the
user had explicitly approved — the arm-hanging/directionality heuristics
then dropped them on rebuild. Curation is loaded up front (auto-discovered
or --curation) and approved sources are KEPT with a note when a heuristic
would drop them; license exclusions still apply unconditionally.

Library rebuilt from fresh extractions with the current importer (the July
clips were extracted on the pre-#936/#933 lying-down imports — the low-poly
jump's distortion came from that, not the retarget) and republished to HF:
curated 37-clip set live; full 145-clip build local.

- Around line 601-604: Update the curation loading flow around _find_curation to
fail explicitly when a user-supplied curation path is missing or invalid instead
of silently using an empty approval set. When loading the approved field, accept
only string values from the array, matching MotionLibrary::loadCuration
behavior, and preserve the resulting string set for extraction.
- Around line 584-607: Update _find_curation to resolve the default
curation.json location using the same AppDataLocation contract as
MotionLibrary::curationPath(), including platform-specific and customized
data-directory handling, while preserving --curation as the highest-priority
override and the existing approved-set loading behavior.

…il-closed --curation

- Sentry breadcrumb when the finger plausibility gate holds chains at bind
- builder curation discovery mirrors AppDataLocation per platform (macOS
  nested layout, XDG_DATA_HOME, Windows LOCALAPPDATA)
- explicit --curation pointing to a missing file exits with an error
  instead of silently building with an empty approval set; approved
  entries validated as strings

Retargeted clips adopted the SOURCE rig's absolute limb directions,
splaying the arms and crossing the legs on rigs with different
proportions (user-reported on the low-poly jump -> Rumba). Anchor each
limb bone's transported direction trajectory so the source REST
direction lands on the TARGET's bind direction — but grade the
correction by the bone's own articulation range from rest: rigs
authored with an action-pose bind (Gregorio binds crouched; its
buildloop legs stay 0-3 deg from rest) hold near rest and must keep
absolute aim, or the pose itself gets cancelled (verified: a
non-gated anchor froze every Gregorio clip to a T-pose).

  S      = slerp(w; I -> arc(dref -> dt_bind))    once per bone
  dir(f) = S * ds(f)                              w: 0 at <=15 deg
                                                     1 at >=40 deg

The offset composes OUTSIDE the matched-pole swing (Wt = S*R*Qbase),
so w=0 degrades bit-exactly to the previous absolute transport and
the #857 twist decomposition is untouched (twist axis = S*ds).

Render-verified on Rumba: low-poly jump legs no longer cross and the
stance stays natural; Gregorio buildloop keeps its crouch + hammer
swing; chibi jump unchanged.

…osed #954 (#951)

Env-gated (QTMESH_T2M_DEBUG / QTMESH_EXTRACT_DEBUG), zero effect on
normal runs:

- AnimationMerger::debugDumpAnatomy(skel, anim, tag): raw world forearm
  direction vs hip-line forward at sampled frames — called per post-pass
  stage in the CLI generate path (pre-post/post-smooth/pre-footpin). The
  source rig and the retargeted output must show matching fore-dot-fwd
  sequences; a sign flip pinpoints the layer that mirrors the motion.
- Extraction raw-anatomy dump ([extract-raw]): same quantities on the
  SOURCE rig per animation, straight from bone positions — no canonical
  math, so importer defects (like #954's ~90° arm-chain pitch) show as
  anatomically impossible bind/animated directions.
- Toe-based naming-chirality check ([extract], logging-only): signed
  volume det[named-left, up, structural-toe-forward]. Measured: every
  tested rig imports with the SAME named-left/anatomy relationship, so
  naming is cross-rig consistent — the check only flags a rig that
  mirrors DIFFERENTLY from the fleet norm.

These instruments proved the retarget transport-exact end to end and
isolated the two real defects: the #954 FBX arm-chain import pitch
(poisoned the library re-extraction; HF rolled back to the July
extractions) and the glb export inversion that mirrors every exported
clip (pre-existing, tracked separately).
