## Completed Steps
- [x] Step 1: Ingest dispatch and original request requirements.
- [x] Step 2: Survey assets directory structure in `client/webapp/assets/` (533 total asset files).
- [x] Step 3: Write and execute empirical Python audit harness (`tools/verification/adversarial_asset_audit.py`).
- [x] Step 4: Verify mobs & bosses (14 packages: albedo, normal, manifest; 14/14 unique hashes, B-mean 246.1-253.0 > 128).
