# Simulator sample media

`manifest.json` is committed; the `.mp4` binaries are **not** (gitignored). They
are look-tuning samples, not shipped installation content.

Populate them in two steps:

    python simulator/setup_sample_media.py   # forest (the real POC base + Right variants)
    python simulator/setup_scales_media.py   # cosmos + abyss scales + ring transitions

`setup_sample_media.py` copies `~/hef-poc/out/neutral.mp4` → `forest/base.mp4`
and `~/hef-poc/out/right_flow.mp4` → `forest/right4.mp4` (the real flow-stabilized
restyle), and generates placeholder strengths `forest/right1..3.mp4`.

`setup_scales_media.py` makes the scale **ring** demonstrable: cheap synthetic
placeholder bases for the two true-PD scales — `cosmos/base.mp4` (NASA/Hubble)
and `abyss/base.mp4` (NOAA Ocean Exploration) — plus the per-edge zoom/warp
**transition** clips under `transitions/`. The manifest records the real true-PD
provenance; these bytes are labelled placeholders for tuning ring navigation.
The new scales carry a raw base only — the expensive multi-strength
flow-stabilized Right re-bake is **deferred** until the ring is liked.
