feat(remotion): asset-library catalog + Phase 0 (license firewall, @remotion/lottie, 30 CC0 characters)

- docs/ASSET_LIBRARY.md: curated catalog from the asset sweep (91 sources -> 62
  usable) + completeness-critic reality check; clean CC0/MIT tier, license/geo
  traps, and the 2.5D layered-scene plan (sky->room->furniture->device->character
  ->grain) to fix the "naked scene".
- deps: add @remotion/lottie@4.0.290 (runtime) + DiceBear (build-time devDep).
- scripts/gen-dicebear.mjs: generate 30 CC0 Open-Peeps characters OFFLINE (no
  runtime CDN) into public/illustrations/dicebear/ + a per-file assets.json ledger.
- scripts/check-assets.mjs: license-firewall CI guard — fails on any un-ledgered
  vendored asset.
- AssetSheet dev composition: proves vendored SVG -> staticFile() -> Remotion render
  (30 real characters render cleanly).
- NOTE: GitHub (Open Peeps/IRA/Notion git clones) + Gumroad (Lukasz) are geo-blocked
  headless here; those + Humaaans (Figma export) need a manual/mirror fetch.

+# FlatRender — Curated Asset Library Catalog
+
+> Generated by the `flatrender-asset-sweep` workflow (91 sources surveyed → 62 usable
+> after adversarial license/Iran-access verification) + a completeness-critic pass.
+> **Read §12 (Reality Check) before treating any count as "done".** Nothing here is
+> vendored yet — this is an *acquisition + build plan*, not a shipped library.
+
+**Reference look:** Google "Alegria" / Pablo-Stanley flat editorial illustration — bold flat colour-blocking (2–3 shades per shape), confident hand-drawn line, expressive hands & foreshortening, characters set in **rich scenes** (rooms, furniture, devices, sky), subtle grain.
+
+**Render stack (verified in repo):** Remotion `4.0.290` + `@remotion/three` `4.0.290` (installed). **`@remotion/lottie` is NOT yet a dependency** in `services/remotion/package.json` — it must be added (MIT, Nexus-mirrorable) before any Lottie path works.
+
+**Stack rule (standing):** every template animation is built on **Remotion + Three.js together** (`@remotion/three`). Flat-illustration art is composited as **2.5D** — 2D layers placed on planes inside a Three.js scene for parallax camera, depth, lighting and 3D particles. Animate only off `useCurrentFrame()`.
+
+**Vendoring target (verified):** `services/remotion/public/` exists and currently holds only `fonts/` (Vazirmatn 400–900 woff2). The project already serves vendored files via `staticFile()` (see `src/lib/fonts.ts` and `AppShowcase3D.tsx`). All asset categories below land under `public/illustrations/...` and `public/lottie/...`.
+
+**The "naked scene" problem (verified):** `src/compositions/CharacterStory.tsx` draws a single hand-coded SVG figure standing on an abstract blurred blob inside a gradient — no room, no furniture, no real sky, no props. The catalog and integration plan below exist specifically to fix this with a layered, asset-driven scene system.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Totals (claimed — see §12 for the honest correction)
+
+| Bucket | Claimed usable count |
+|---|---|
+| **Characters — riggable (separable parts)** | ~110 base components / poses (Humaaans ~100 + Open Peeps part-set) |
+| Characters — Lottie/animated (self-authored + curated CC0) | ~50–80 loops (mostly self-authored) |
+| Scenes & interiors (recolorable, vendor curated subset) | ~300+ curated (from unDraw/ManyPixels/Lukasz pools of 4,000+) |
+| Devices / props | ~150 |
+| Sky / nature / abstract | ~80 |
+| Grain / texture | ~10 |
+| Persian / seasonal | ~40 (self-authored) |
+
+> ⚠️ The critic's verdict: this "≥100 characters" is **permutation-inflated**. The defensible
+> count of distinct, named, ledgered figures from the firewall-clean CC0/MIT tier is **~50–60**,
+> and **0 are riggable today** (all need manual `<g>`-splitting). §12 gives a concrete plan to a
+> real, enumerated 100-figure roster.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Characters — Riggable (separable SVG parts) ⭐ core tier
+
+Individual `<g>` body parts can be driven by `useCurrentFrame()` / `interpolate()` — true per-limb rigging, not just whole-figure parallax.
+
+### 1.1 Humaaans (Pablo Stanley) — FLAGSHIP
+- **License:** CC0 1.0 Public Domain (commercial OK, no attribution, redistribution/vendoring OK).
+- **Iran-access:** acquisition **yes** (humaaans.com / Figma Community / archive.org). **Do NOT use Gumroad.** Render-time is CDN-free once vendored.
+- **Animation-fit:** riggable-parts — **realistically 7–8/10**. Parts are separable as *components in the Figma/Sketch source*; a flat one-shot SVG export flattens groups, so you must export each body part as its own `<g>` first.
+- **Count:** ~100 base components (≈12 base poses + dozens of heads/hair/tops/bottoms/shoes + objects).
+- **Style-match:** **9/10** — THE flagship Alegria reference.
+- **Download:** Figma Community file `1200350623263197299` → export per-part SVGs; or humaaans.com; `archive.org/details/humaaans` fallback.
+- **Use-cases:** full-body hero rigging; per-limb wave/present/think/celebrate poses (replaces the hand-coded `Pose` system in `CharacterStory.tsx`).
+
+### 1.2 Open Peeps (Pablo Stanley) — secondary
+- **License:** CC0 1.0 (no attribution, redistribution OK).
+- **Iran-access:** acquisition yes. **Animation-fit:** riggable-parts — `github.com/opeepsfun/open-peeps` exposes separated body/head/face/beard/accessory SVGs (npm wrapper is MIT; **vendor the raw CC0 SVGs, not the wrapper**).
+- **Count:** ~200 building-block parts. **Style-match 7/10** (confident hand-drawn line; lighter colour-blocking). Character-only — pair with §3 scenes.
+- ⚠️ **Do NOT confuse with Avataaars** (same artist, NOT CC0).
+
+### 1.3 DiceBear (programmatic, offline) — build-time avatars
+- **License:** core MIT; per-style — `open-peeps`=CC0, `avataaars`=free-commercial custom, `big-smile`/`adventurer`/`croodles`=**CC BY 4.0 (attribution REQUIRED)**.
+- **Iran-access:** **yes** — `@dicebear/core` + `@dicebear/collection` run **fully offline via npm** (Nexus mirror). `createAvatar(style,{seed}).toString()` → raw SVG, no runtime CDN. Do NOT call the dicebear HTTP API at render.
+- **Animation-fit:** component-swap + transforms (blink/expression micro-rigs), not full skeletal rig. Bust→half-body scale.
+- **Count:** ~45 styles. **Style-match 6/10.** Use `idRandomization` to avoid SVG id collisions.
+
+### 1.4 IRA Design (Creative Tim) — selective gradient style
+- **License:** **MIT** (`ira-design/ira-illustrations`). **Retain LICENSE.md** alongside vendored SVGs (no on-screen credit needed).
+- **Iran-access:** yes (`git clone`). **Animation-fit:** moderate — monolithic per-illustration files, manual `<g>` split needed; gradient fills complicate flat parallax.
+- **Count:** ~100 vendorable SVGs (36 characters + 52 objects + backgrounds). **Style-match 6/10** (gradient sketch, not strict flat-block).
+
+### 1.5 Avataaars (Pablo Stanley) — ⚠️ caution
+- **License:** code ports MIT, but **artwork is custom "free for personal & commercial use", NOT MIT/CC0** — no redistribution "in a pack", no "use to create a competing service" (a live risk for an avatar SaaS).
+- **Verdict:** talking-head micro-animation **only** (via DiceBear `avataaars` offline npm); document as "permissive-with-restrictions"; do NOT build a user-facing avatar generator on it.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Characters — Lottie / Animated
+
+> **Strategic note:** every third-party Lottie library carries a redistribution and/or
+> competing-service clause that collides with a paid template SaaS vendoring assets into
+> `public/`. **Primary path = SELF-AUTHOR brand Lottie loops** from the CC0 SVGs in §1/§3
+> and drive them with `@remotion/lottie`.
+
+- **2.1 LottieFiles (free/community)** — ⚠️ Simple License (commercial OK) but **no "compile files to develop a competing service"**, no standalone JSON redistribution; per-file Free/Premium badge. Iran-access unknown (login-gated). Use only inside a final render, Free badge re-verified.
+- **2.2 Lottielab** — ⚠️ free tier **watermarks all exports**; value is as an **authoring tool** on cleanly-licensed SVGs (Pro ~$12/mo for watermark-free).
+- **2.3 LottieFiles creators/marketplace** — ⚠️ per-item; only **Free**-badged vendorable; Premium forbids redistribution even after purchase. Style-match up to 8/10 for the right creator.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Scenes & Interiors (recolorable flat backdrops — fixes the "naked scene")
+
+> **The category that directly cures `CharacterStory.tsx`** — flat scene SVGs (rooms, desks, cities, devices, sky) used as BACKGROUND/MID-GROUND layers behind the riggable §1 characters; animation is whole-scene parallax/recolor.
+
+- **3.1 unDraw** — ⚠️ **NOT MIT** (stale label) → custom proprietary (free commercial, no attribution) that **forbids replicating a competing service, distributing "in packs", scraping, AND AI/ML training**. ~1,300 scenes. **Style-match 2–3/10.** Hand-pick only (no bulk scrape), bake into renders, log `license="unDraw custom (proprietary)"`.
+- **3.2 ManyPixels** — ⚠️ custom permissive but forbids "distribute in packs", being the product's center, AND AI-training. 2,500+. Iran-access yes (Iconduck/`quentincaffeino/manypixels-illustrations` mirror). **Style-match 4/10.** Curated subset baked in; never an in-product picker.
+- **3.3 Lukasz Adam** — ⚠️ **CC0/MIT** (cleanest scene tier) but **acquisition NO via official Gumroad** (sanctioned) → Eagle/aggregator mirror or non-Iran box. **229 confirmed** (characters, remote-work, cities, devices). The free-static scene anchor.
+- **3.4 Storyset (Freepik)** — ⚠️ **reference only** — resale/database clause + visible Freepik credit; Iran-access **NO** (OFAC checkout). Only attractive property: exports Lottie JSON.
+- **3.5 DrawKit** — ⚠️ freemium proprietary, forbids standalone redistribution + AI-training, revocable terms. Use only if repo private + users get rendered output only.
+- **3.6 Black Illustrations** — ⚠️ proprietary; forbids serving raw SVG / end-user extraction → **bake into MP4 only**. ~120 free. Valuable inclusive-character supplement.
+- **3.7 Ouch! by Icons8** — ⚠️ **reference only** — forbids distributing as "stand-alone files" (conflicts with `public/`+`staticFile()`); Iran-access NO.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Devices / Props
+- **Humaaans objects** (CC0) — laptops/phones/plants/chairs/signs, separable mid-ground props.
+- **IRA Design objects** (MIT) — 52 objects; split manually.
+- **Lukasz Adam "Devices"** (CC0) — phones/laptops/monitors; pairs with the `AppShowcase3D.tsx` `screenUrl` + `staticFile()` pattern.
+- **Self-authored SVG props** — drawn inline in the same flat style (the repo already proves this works).
+
+## 5. Sky / Nature / Abstract
+- **Self-authored gradients & shapes** (CSS/SVG, already used in `CharacterStory.tsx`) — cleanest license-free sky/abstract layer; drift off `useCurrentFrame()`.
+- **unDraw/ManyPixels nature** (curated, recolored).
+- **Three.js abstract** via `@remotion/three` (installed) for parallax sky/particles depth.
+
+## 6. Grain / Texture
+- **Inline `feTurbulence` SVG noise** — ALREADY in `CharacterStory.tsx` (`mixBlendMode: overlay`, opacity 0.05). Keep as the standard grain.
+- **CC0 paper/noise tiles** — vendor 5–10 (ambientCG / cc0textures, CC0).
+
+## 7. Persian / Seasonal
+- **Self-authored Nowruz (haft-sin, sabzeh, goldfish, sonbol), Yalda (pomegranate, watermelon, Hafez), Ramadan (crescent, fanoos)** flat SVG motifs — the repo already ships `Nowruz3D.tsx` / `NowruzGreeting.tsx`.
+- **Recolored CC0 scenes** (Humaaans + Lukasz) dressed with seasonal props. Vazirmatn RTL already vendored.
+
+---
+
+## 8. DOWNLOAD MANIFEST
+
+All assets land under `services/remotion/public/`. npm via the **Nexus mirror** (`mirror.soroushasadi.com`). For Gumroad/Freepik/Icons8/Cloudflare-gated sources, acquire from a **non-Iran box / VPN once**, then commit — render-time is CDN-free.
+
+```bash
+# 0. Folders
+mkdir -p services/remotion/public/illustrations/{humaaans,openpeeps,undraw,manypixels,lukaszadam,ira,notion}
+mkdir -p services/remotion/public/lottie
+
+# 1. Humaaans (CC0) — FLAGSHIP. Figma community 1200350623263197299 → export each
+#    body-part as its own <g> SVG → public/illustrations/humaaans/  (NOT Gumroad)
+
+# 2. Open Peeps (CC0) — pre-separated parts:
+git clone https://github.com/opeepsfun/open-peeps   # vendor raw CC0 SVGs, not the wrapper
+
+# 3. DiceBear (offline, no runtime CDN) — generate at BUILD time:
+npm i @dicebear/core @dicebear/collection           # via Nexus mirror
+#    createAvatar(openPeeps,{seed}).toString() → write SVG to public/
+
+# 4. IRA Design (MIT) — keep LICENSE.md alongside:
+git clone https://github.com/ira-design/ira-illustrations
+
+# 5. Lukasz Adam (CC0, 229) — Eagle/aggregator mirror or non-Iran box (Gumroad sanctioned)
+
+# 6. unDraw / ManyPixels — HAND-PICK only (no bulk scrape); curated subset
+
+# 7. Notion Avatars (CC0) — talking-head busts:
+git clone https://github.com/notion-avatar/notion-avatar
+
+# 8. Lottie pipeline (must add the package first):
+npm i @remotion/lottie                              # via Nexus — currently MISSING
+```
+
+**Iran-mirror flags:** Gumroad (Lukasz/Open Peeps/Black Illustrations) = sanctioned. Freepik/Storyset + Icons8 = OFAC-blocked. Cloudflare (DrawKit/ManyPixels) = intermittent. All npm = Nexus mirror.
+
+---
+
+## 9. INTEGRATION PLAN
+
+### 9.1 License firewall — `public/illustrations/assets.json`
+Every vendored file gets one ledger row. **No row → asset may not ship.**
+```jsonc
+{
+  "humaaans/torso-a.svg": { "source": "Humaaans", "license": "CC0-1.0",
+    "license_class": "CC0", "commercial_ok": true, "attribution_required": false,
+    "ai_training_allowed": true, "url": "humaaans.com", "vendored": "2026-06-22" },
+  "ira/scene-desk.svg": { "source": "IRA Design", "license": "MIT",
+    "attribution_required": true, "notice_file": "ira/LICENSE.md", "ai_training_allowed": true },
+  "undraw/working.svg": { "source": "unDraw", "license": "unDraw custom (proprietary)",
+    "commercial_ok": true, "attribution_required": false,
+    "ai_training_allowed": false, "redistribute_as_pack": false }
+}
+```
+Hard rules: **(1)** only CC0/MIT/PD vendored as raw `public/` SVG; **(2)** custom-restrictive (unDraw/ManyPixels/DrawKit/Black Illustrations) only as a **curated subset baked into renders**, `ai_training_allowed:false` (excluded from FlatRender's future AI-video pipeline); **(3)** Blush/Storyset/Icons8/Avataaars-pack = **never vendored**, reference only.
+
+### 9.2 Rigging an SVG kit in Remotion (`useCurrentFrame()`-driven `<g>` parts)
+The repo already proves the pattern in `CharacterStory.tsx` (`arm(ang,sign)` / `leg(sign,ang)` rotate `<g>` groups by frame-derived angles). Replace the hand-drawn paths with vendored Humaaans part SVGs, keep the rig math:
+```tsx
+const f = useCurrentFrame();
+const wave = pose === "wave" ? 130 + Math.sin(f / 4) * 14 : 12;
+<g transform={`translate(${shoulderX} ${shoulderY}) rotate(${wave})`}>
+  <UpperArm /> {/* vendored SVG <g>, pivot at shoulder */}
+  <g transform={`translate(0 ${forearmY}) rotate(${elbow})`}><Forearm /></g>
+</g>
+```
+Keep conventions: `staticFile()` for raster, stable `rand(seed)` (not `Math.random`), per-instance `id()` prefixes (`cs${idn}_`) to avoid `<defs>` id collisions, `L.vmin()/L.pick()` for aspect re-flow.
+
+### 9.3 `@remotion/lottie` (after `npm i @remotion/lottie`)
+Vendor JSON under `public/lottie/`; never a CDN/HTTP API at render. Use for self-authored idle/confetti/sky loops; firewall third-party Premium JSON out.
+
+### 9.4 LAYER scenes for depth — the cure for "naked scene" (do this in the Three.js 2.5D scene)
+Stack layers back-to-front, each on its own plane / parallax speed off `useCurrentFrame()`:
+```
+Layer 0  SKY        gradient / Three.js abstract        (slow drift, far plane)
+Layer 1  ROOM       vendored interior SVG (wall, window) (slow)
+Layer 2  FURNITURE  desk / shelf / plant props          (medium)
+Layer 3  DEVICE     laptop/phone (staticFile, AppShowcase pattern)
+Layer 4  CHARACTER  riggable Humaaans <g> rig            (foreground, full motion)
+Layer 5  GRAIN      feTurbulence overlay (already in repo, opacity 0.05) + vignette
+```
+Parallax = depth factor (`0.1 … 1.0`) on each layer's translate / z-position. Direct upgrade of `CharacterStory.tsx`: "blob + particles + character" → "sky → room → furniture → device → character → grain".
+
+### 9.5 Recolor to brand palette
+Map `colorSchema` (`accentColor`/`secondaryColor`/`backgroundColor`/`textColor`) onto each scene SVG's fills. unDraw exposes one accent var; multi-shade SVGs (Lukasz/ManyPixels/Humaaans) need a small fill-remap at vendor time (`mixHex()` from `src/lib/anim.ts`).
+
+---
+
+## 10. PHASED BUILD PLAN (to Alegria quality)
+
+- **Phase 0 — Plumbing (½ day).** `public/illustrations/*` + `public/lottie/`; `assets.json` ledger + a CI check that fails on un-ledgered files; `npm i @remotion/lottie`.
+- **Phase 1 — Flagship character rig (2–3 days).** Vendor Humaaans parts; build `<RiggedCharacter>` (separable `<g>` arms/legs/head, pose presets) reusing the `CharacterStory.tsx` pose math.
+- **Phase 2 — Layered scene system (2–3 days).** `<SceneStage>` composing sky→room→furniture→device→grain with parallax inside the Three.js scene. Vendor a curated ~30-scene set (Lukasz CC0 first, then hand-picked unDraw/ManyPixels). Rebuild `CharacterStory.tsx`'s 13 beats with real environments.
+- **Phase 3 — Recolor + brand binding (1–2 days).** Wire `colorSchema` → scene fills; verify studio colour controls recolor the whole stack.
+- **Phase 4 — Lottie & motion polish (2 days).** Self-author 8–10 idle/wave/confetti/sky loops; integrate via `@remotion/lottie`; per-limb secondary motion + foreshortening on the hero (expressive hands).
+- **Phase 5 — Persian/seasonal pack (1–2 days).** Nowruz/Yalda/Ramadan prop sets on the layered scenes (reuse `Nowruz3D`).
+- **Phase 6 — QA & firewall audit (1 day).** Render 3 aspects; confirm determinism, no runtime CDN, full `assets.json` coverage, AI-prohibited assets flagged out.
+

+
+## 11. Verdict summary
+
+| Source | Verdict | Vendor raw? | License | Iran (acquire) | Anim-fit | Style |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Humaaans | **USE** ⭐ | ✅ | CC0 | yes | rig 7–8 | 9 |
+| Open Peeps | **USE** | ✅ | CC0 | yes | rig | 7 |
+| DiceBear (CC0/free) | **USE** | ✅ gen→commit | MIT+CC0 | yes (offline npm) | swap/transform | 6 |
+| IRA Design | **USE** (selective) | ✅ +LICENSE.md | MIT | yes | moderate | 6 |
+| Lukasz Adam | **USE** (mirror) | ✅ | CC0 | acquire NO (Gumroad) | single-svg | 4 |
+| Notion Avatars | **USE** (add) | ✅ | CC0 | yes | bust micro-rig | 6 |
+| unDraw | caution | curated/baked | custom-restrictive | unknown | single-svg | 2–3 |
+| ManyPixels | caution | curated/baked | custom-permissive | yes | single-svg | 4 |
+| Black Illustrations | caution | bake-into-MP4 | proprietary | unknown | single-svg | 4 |
+| Avataaars (art) | caution | gen→commit, no pack | custom-permissive | yes | bust micro-rig | 6 |
+| LottieFiles (free) | caution | inside-render only | Simple License | unknown | lottie | 5–6 |
+| DrawKit | caution | private repo only | freemium-proprietary | unknown | lottie | 4 |
+| Storyset | **reference only** | ❌ | resale-ban | NO | lottie | 5 |
+| Ouch!/Icons8 | **reference only** | ❌ | no stand-alone files | NO | lottie | 5 |
+| Blush | **reference only** | ❌ | proprietary | NO (Stripe) | rig (paid) | 9 |
+
+**Bottom line:** Build the production library on the clean, vendorable CC0/MIT tier — **Humaaans, Open Peeps, DiceBear-CC0, IRA, Notion Avatars** + **Lukasz Adam** scenes; supplement scenery with **curated, baked-in** unDraw/ManyPixels; **self-author** Lottie loops; keep the encumbered/Iran-blocked sources (Blush/Storyset/Icons8/DrawKit) as **design-time reference only**.

+
+## 12. ⚠️ Reality Check (completeness critic) — READ THIS
+
+The "≥100 characters" in §0 does **not** survive scrutiny. Honest status and the fix:
+
+**Gaps:**
+1. **Count is permutation-inflated.** "Humaaans ~100 components" = interchangeable heads/hair/tops/bottoms, not 100 figures. Defensible distinct, named, firewall-clean figures ≈ **12 Humaaans poses + 36 IRA + a few DiceBear seeds ≈ 50–60** — and those need manual `<g>`-splitting before riggable.
+2. **Nothing is vendored yet.** `public/` contains only `fonts/`. `public/illustrations/` + `public/lottie/` don't exist. The catalog is an **acquisition plan**, not a library. **Riggable-today count = 0.**
+3. **Riggability overstated.** A one-shot Humaaans SVG export flattens groups → until per-part `<g>` export + pivot authoring is done, it's single-figure parallax (same tier as unDraw).
+4. **Diversity thin & encumbered.** The only dedicated inclusive source (Black Illustrations) is bake-into-MP4-only. No source covers older adults, disability, hijab/chador, or Persian dress beyond self-authored props.
+5. **`@remotion/lottie` is a hard blocker** (absent from `package.json`) — every Lottie path (§2) is non-functional until added; don't count those ~50–80 loops yet.
+6. **Self-authored assets counted as if they exist** (Lottie ~50–80, seasonal ~40, sky ~80, props ~150 are future work).
+
+**Additions / the concrete fix — enumerate a real 100-figure roster (each an actual committed file + `assets.json` row):**
+- **~30** Humaaans base poses × authored top/bottom/skin variants you actually create & ledger.
+- **36** IRA Design character SVGs (MIT, `github.com/ira-design/ira-illustrations`).
+- **30** DiceBear `open-peeps` (CC0) fixed seeds, generated + committed.
+- **~10** Open Peeps part assemblies. → **~106 real, named, ledgered figures.**
+- **+ Notion Avatars** (CC0, `github.com/notion-avatar/notion-avatar`) — ~10–15 talking-head busts, firewall-clean, Iran-accessible. Fills the talking-head gap without Avataaars' restrictions.
+- **+ Croodles / Adventurer** (DiceBear, **CC BY 4.0 — attribution ledger row**) — ~20 doodle-line seeds.
+- **+ OpenMoji** people/gestures (CC BY-SA 4.0, `github.com/hfg-gmuend/openmoji`) — expressive hands/heads for secondary characters; curated subset + share-alike tracking.
+- **Diversity pass:** author hijab/scarf head `<g>` overlays, older-adult variants, varied skin tones via `mixHex()` recolor on the **CC0 Humaaans base** (firewall-clean derivative; directly serves the Persian-first product).
+- **Grain:** vendor 3–5 CC0 paper/noise tiles from **ambientCG** (CC0, GitHub/CDN-mirrorable).
+- **`@remotion/lottie`** added in Phase 0 *before* any Lottie asset counts as usable.
+- **Sky:** add Lukasz Adam CC0 nature SVGs + 2–3 self-authored gradient-sky presets bound to `colorSchema`.
+
+**So the true near-term deliverable** is not "100 characters downloaded" but: Phase 0 plumbing + a vendored, ledgered **~30–40 character starter set** (Humaaans + IRA + DiceBear + Notion) split into riggable `<g>` parts, plus a `<SceneStage>` layered-scene system — enough to rebuild `CharacterStory` to the Alegria bar — then grow the roster to 100+ on that proven pipeline.
