 The Rust Options screen includes **HD art**. It starts disabled. Enable it to use reviewed artwork from the selected data directory's `hd/hd.json`; each missing or rejected frame keeps the selected original / 2x / 3x / 4x crisp treatment. The bundled runtime uses `data/`, while development artwork and review jobs live under `../data/`. The scale setting still determines the indexed rendering resolution, and the HD toggle can be changed while paused. HD art is presentation only: simulation, collision sizes, banking positions and save content IDs stay unchanged.

One unchanged registrar dry run and one main call add complete1 default 1054c. All five promoted files are byte-equal to the audited output; source/raw/sampling fields and every old header remain exact. The material peer qualified removal of the invented top paint connection while retaining the circle/shore/rupture.

The different physical peer read all 13 complete neighborhoods and three comparisons of one genuine 10507→Original 10508 event at native1–4. Mixed paint-width/grain joins with Original 1053e and 78 composed Source-class remaps remain explicit.

+## 14 October 2026: actual1054c native addition and assembled5,324 pack
+
+Canonical proof `bfaec4d308861a92dbfe0ad1f6d3cdf3cc92b1c86c63029333ee94f0831f89d4` binds the real private5 Root writer, different I5 code review and Iron3 final audit. One unchanged registrar dry run and one main call add complete1 default 1054c. All five promoted files are byte-equal to the audited output; source/raw/sampling fields and every old header remain exact. The material peer qualified removal of the invented top paint connection while retaining the circle/shore/rupture. Shorter upper brown gap, dim worn native1 stripe and fine chips remain qualifications. The different physical peer read all 13 complete neighborhoods and three comparisons of one genuine 10507→Original 10508 event at native1–4. Mixed paint-width/grain joins with Original 1053e and 78 composed Source-class remaps remain explicit. That actual 5,232 scene authority carries only through the separately authenticated 5,323 Source/default/raw identity; no repeat view, timing or whole-mission credit is invented. Held 10521/1053e/10508 remain Original fallbacks.

+native metadata reviews. All previous artwork, original data, engine source,
+executables and dependencies remain unchanged. Both bundled validators pass:
+5,324 HD frames with zero rejects, and 45 mods with one override.

+341 tests passed, zero failed, 26 ignored. HD/mod validation, Unicode-folder
+relocation, gameplay and mixed/SFX-only stereo audio captures passed. The new
+5,324-frame revision needs its separate post-push Windows check.
+
+**429 original pictures remain:** 299 terrain, 87 enemies/ground objects,
+36 UI/other and seven bosses. Complete coverage remains unfinished. Many terrain
+drafts need further material or shape corrections; actual service refusals and
+artwork holds remain recorded and do not count as remasters.
+
+Work continues on the four-frame turret and tank sequences, terrain `2018d`,
+`2018e`, `1052a`, `10525`, `206a0`, `20402`, and interface image `10125`.
+Their stages remain separate: successful scene construction is followed by
+independent visual review and native registration checks. The tank evidence
+includes four scenes during the normal player death transition, without a
+full-route survival claim. The turret has twelve genuine phase captures.
+
+The optional retained-Original-detail implementation has passed private Rust
+and Python checks and independent source review. It has not changed the shipped
+engine or artwork. Retained Original samples are explicitly distinguished from
+generated HD detail, and each use still needs an independent hybrid review.
