Asset Quality Memory

Asset Quality Memory is a zero-cloud, standard-library baseline for Asset Factory QA. It is deliberately shadow-only: it explains FAIL, UNCERTAIN, PASS, or PASS_ROBUST, but never imports, publishes, or activates an asset.

Decision order

1. Decode, manifest, SHA-256/size, and licence checks.
2. Family-specific deterministic checks.
3. k-NN over externally verified assets from the same family only.
4. Abstention when fewer than three comparable examples exist.
5. A future micro-NN is considered only after beating this baseline on a temporal holdout without reducing quality.

Supported families are image, texture, mesh, animation, and godot. Their feature schemas are intentionally separate; a mesh can never become a neighbor of an image.

Commands

botte asset-qa status . --json
botte asset-qa evaluate asset-report.json --project . --json
botte asset-qa record asset-report.json --project . \
  --verdict pass --verified-by tests:asset-harness --evidence ci:asset-142

The report contains family, sha256, size_bytes, checks, and normalized features. See the JSON schema and examples/asset-quality/mesh-report.json for a complete input. Operational memory is written to .botte/asset-quality.jsonl; local paths and raw asset bytes are never stored.

This implementation runs on CPU and mono-GPU machines. An RTX 3060 or other GPU may generate embeddings upstream later, but it is not required or trusted by the integrity gates.
