Your working directory is: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\auditor_m2_1_gen3
You must read ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md at: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md (under section ## 2026-10-01T00:31:10Z).

Scope & Forensic Integrity Assignment:
Perform exhaustive forensic integrity verification on Milestone 2 (Character Animation & Visceral Combat Feel Engine).
Reference artifacts:
- PROJECT.md at `c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md`
- SCOPE.md at `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_3\SCOPE.md`
- Worker handoff: `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\worker_m2_1_gen3\handoff.md`

Your Audit Tasks:
1. Anti-Cheat & Authenticity Audit:
   - Verify that all implementations in `animation_engine.js`, `combat_feel_engine.js`, `combat_skills.js`, `canvas_renderer.js`, and `weapon_swing_catalog.js` are genuine.
   - Confirm NO hardcoded test outputs, NO fake assertions, NO facade/dummy implementations.
2. Static Analysis & Code Layout:
   - Verify code layout matches PROJECT.md.
   - Verify strict compliance with line length caps (<= 350 soft / <= 500 hard for logic, <= 700 for catalog).
   - Check for memory leaks or hot-path dynamic allocations (verify Ring Buffer DamageNumberPool, static object pools, zero GC churn in render loop).
3. Test Suite Verification:
   - Run `pytest tests/unit/test_m2_animation_and_combat_feel.py -v`
   - Run `pytest tests/e2e/test_poe2_ui_animation_vfx_e2e.py -v`
   - Run `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict`

Provide an unambiguous verdict: CLEAN or INTEGRITY VIOLATION.
