name	process-asset-deterministically
description	Apply one reviewed declarative deterministic recipe to an authorized asset candidate and record reproducible outputs. Use after selection, not for generation, creative edits, approval, or release packaging.

Process an asset deterministically

Scope

Transform one authorized selected candidate into specification-bound runtime outputs using only declared deterministic operations.

Inputs

• Explicit FORGE_ROOT and external WORLD_ROOT.
• Exact specification, authorized selected candidate, and its production lineage.
• One strict executable processing recipe with hash-bound input artifacts.

Outputs

• Processed files beneath the world authoring production area.
• One processing receipt with input/output hashes, exact recipe identity, toolchain versions, operation-specific details, and repeatability evidence.

Invariants

• Permit exactly one allowlisted operation: png_canonical, atlas, wav_pcm, or glb_validate, with only its schema-declared options.
• Treat glb_validate as neutral, deterministic processing: independently inspect the GLB, require embedded resources and zero external URIs, enforce the specification budgets, and bind the republished bytes and metrics.
• Reject commands, shell fragments, arbitrary scripts, opaque plugins, network access, timestamps, random seeds, and undeclared environment dependence.
• Run twice when required and require byte-identical declared outputs.
• Never change canonical identity or make an artistic approval decision.

Completion

Complete when all expected files exist, signatures/budgets/hashes match, the receipt validates, and determinism evidence passes. Do not perform QA approval or package a renderpack/assetpack.
