UB is no longer a static in-place loop. New behavior.js owns locomotion: UB wanders a
bounded tank, cruises at a chosen speed, drifts to new depths (nose tilts into it),
occasionally rests or darts, and banks through smooth U-turns at the edges — the tail
beats faster/slower with speed. All clips are in-place, so the engine drives world
position + heading and crossfades between the named clips (idle/cruise/burst/turnL/turnR).
Multi-clip GLB built via tools/glb-split/build-clips.mjs (5 clips, 8.7MB — orphaned Take
accessors explicitly disposed). aquarium.js reworked: clip crossfade + per-frame behavior
apply. Tuner (/zen?debug=1) now exposes scale + Behavior (cruise speed / roam width /
roam height / liveliness) + the fins section. Reduced-motion calms speed + liveliness.
Still admin-gated.

Idle is a resting pose (only eye/mouth/fin micro-motion). Swapped the base loop to
Swim1_norm — a ~2.5s swim cycle with ZERO root drift (verified via trim-clip.mjs), so
UB undulates continuously without traveling off-screen. Generalized the trimmer
(tools/glb-split/trim-clip.mjs: extract any [start,end] range, rebased to 0, + drift report).

- Admin lockout: /zen checked blockedForViewer() before auth loaded, so a hard-refresh/
direct-link bounced admins to /play. Now revalidate auth (await refresh if !ready)
BEFORE the gate check.
- UB swap: retired the two-tail koi (ub.glb/ub-split.glb) for the vetted Queen angelfish.
Trimmed the 75.67s baked Take down to just the Idle loop (tools/glb-split/trim-idle.mjs
→ 16MB → 6.9MB) → static/models/ub-angelfish.glb. aquarium.js reworked for the pack's
ONE-mesh/TWO-material layout (…_body opaque single-sided; …_fins opaque alpha-tested,
tunable); animation is the trimmed Idle. Debug tuner (/zen?debug=1) updated: yaw/pitch/
scale + one fins&tail section. Still devgate IN_DEV={'zen'} — admin-only.
