Custom OBJ Models
To close: Write the Outcome with the recommendation: keep model-backed actors in the experiments, or promote a small loader into the library. · Commit the model loader (untracked in qmap) that c25, c26 and c27 rely on, and the later c23 edits. · Move it from Active to HISTORY.md.

qmap's simple shapes were fine for layout tests. The next question: could hand-made 3D characters stand in for them and still read clearly on the map?
Twelve voxel models load, scale and light correctly, and a copy of the runtime map uses a voxel Manager for its main process. The recommendation on next steps was never written.

What changed
The two changes that matter most, in plain words. Open any one to see it.
- 1
The runtime map's main process can now be a voxel character instead of a plain shape.
A character in the map · came from Mark Parson
- 2
Any of twelve models can be loaded and judged on its own, under different materials and lights.
A stage for the models · came from Mark Parson
- A group of related models was tested side by side for how well they sit together. Early → final
- Files, the busiest kind of thing, keep their plain shape until characters prove readable elsewhere. In words
How we got here
Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.
qmap-c23-D1 Swap conservatively: root process first, then selected child processes, then outside hosts; files stay plain shapes. — Mark Parson

No ruling needed: the work itself is the change.
