# Release checklist

`Viggle/Meridian` has been public since 2026-09-15. The 2026-09-18 update replaced the first
release's fused transformer with two LoRA adapters; the original weights remain under `legacy/`.
This page records what shipped and which checks are still open.

## Settled

- **Weights are uploaded.** `teacher_lora/` is the re-camera adapter on the unmodified MiniMax-H3
  transformer; `turbo_lora/` is the DMD student distilled against it. `legacy/transformer/` and
  `legacy/lora/` are the first release, kept so earlier results stay reproducible.
- **The Hub destination is `Viggle/Meridian`.** The older `Viggle/Viggle-Recam` identifier was never
  a working download and must not be restored as one.
- Uploads go through the release directory's own `push.py`, which uses allow-patterns only. The
  archived `push_docs.py` targets a different repository and is not a current uploader.

## Still open

- Public-use clearance, including for the NBA footage and figures, remains pending. The presentation
  examples are research previews; retain source credits and edit records before choosing publication assets.
- Low-memory configurations, including RTX 4090, are community integration targets, not validated support.
- Fast point-cloud preview helps inspect an authored path; it does not guarantee generated-view fidelity.

## Presentation and review

- Replace local preview links with cleared publication assets.
- Method video strips use actual matched frames; the 3D points and camera path are explicitly schematic. Retain this distinction and the source provenance.
- Studio overview is recorded and preview-only; capture and review a matching generated take before extending it to demonstrate final generation.
- Complete continuous visual motion review; automated playback and sampled frames are not sufficient.
- Retain exact camera controls if presenting an isolated space/time ablation.
- Confirm permission to use every source clip and to publish the corresponding demonstrations.
- Keep source-time labels accurate when comparing live, retimed, and held sequences.
- Verify the reported timing against a retained run log before publishing it as a headline result.
- Do not add a speedup ratio, quality comparison, ablation, or metric without supporting results.
- Upload referenced presentation media with the Markdown.
