+Took the fourth pass's next action. Batch I. **The original task-test gap is now
+closed**, four passes after it was first measured.
+
+- Executed: downloaded and opened the three character sheets, and recorded what each
+  actually ships rather than what its description implies.
+  - `ninja-adventure` — **4-directional**. 64x112 per character on a 16px grid: four
+    columns for down, up and both sides, seven rows of frames.
+  - `armm1998-zelda-like` — **4-directional**. 272x256 sheet of 16x32 frames, four
+    facings, four-frame walk plus a sword set in each direction.
+  - `kenney-roguelike-characters` — **front-facing only**. 918x203 on a 16px tile with
+    1px spacing: bodies, hair, clothing, armour, shields and weapons, every frame the
+    front view. No side or back facings, no animation frames anywhere in the pack.
+  Tagged `4-directional` and `front-facing` so site search reaches them.
+- **Correction to the fourth pass.** The `kenney-roguelike-characters` note claimed
+  variants were "separate sprites rather than a layered paper doll". The sheet shows
+  the opposite: it is a layered parts kit meant to be composited. What it lacks is
+  turning, not layering. Fixed. The lesson is the same one the fourth pass recorded
+  about perspective: the sheet answers questions the store page does not.
+- `verified:` deliberately unchanged on all three. Frame layout is not licence text,
+  and the findings sit in Notes rather than Evidence because an Evidence line in this
+  repo means proof of licence and commercial stance.
+- Sources opened: `kenney_roguelike-characters.zip` from the Kenney asset page,
+  `gfx_3.zip` attached to the OpenGameArt submission, and `content/character/*/sprite.png`
+  in [pixel-boy/NinjaAdventure](https://github.com/pixel-boy/NinjaAdventure), the
+  author's own game repo built from the itch pack. **The itch download itself is behind
+  a form**, so the Ninja Adventure layout is verified from that repo rather than from
+  the pack archive; a future run with a browser could confirm against the itch zip.
+- Deferred, unchanged: `tenacity`'s licence (Codeberg 403s automated requests), the
+  eight decision-support clusters without comparison lines, the three deliberately
+  untagged tile packs, and the `camera_perspective` scope question for `characters`
+  and `3d`.
+- Next highest-value action: **the three untagged tile packs**
+  (`kenney-1-bit-pack`, `kenney-tiny-dungeon`, `ox72-dungeon-tileset`). This pass
+  showed the method works and is cheap: download the pack, look at it, record what is
+  there. Those three are the last 2D entries where the catalog knows less than it
+  could about a field it already exposes in the UI.

-- Next highest-value action: **open the character sheets** for
-  `kenney-roguelike-characters`, `armm1998-zelda-like` and `ninja-adventure` and record
-  what directional coverage each actually ships. That is the one remaining question
