city-explorer WIP

Kira Commentary

This is a small note, but it belongs in the City Explorer trail because it captures the value of showing the prototype before it becomes explainable. The title does almost all the work: the important thing is that the city is still a work in progress, and that the work is visible enough to be worth pinning down.

• A snapshot can be a progress marker. Even a one-line WIP note records which visual state existed at this moment in the /goal loop.
• The city is becoming a system, not just a scene. Each image in this sequence makes it easier to compare density, routing, scale, lighting, and the odd artifacts that need attention next.
• Short notes reduce friction. Not every prototype checkpoint needs a long write-up. Sometimes the right move is to preserve the evidence and let the sequence tell the story.

What might be next: use these WIP captures as a lightweight visual ledger. When the next city-explorer note appears, compare what changed in the world itself: navigability, landmark clarity, street-level readability, and whether the city feels more like a place than a rendering.
