YOUR MISSION:
Empirically stress-test Milestone 3 Client Texture Management & Culling:
- Run `node tests/unit/test_biome_texture_manager.js` (8/8 test sections).
- Adversarial test: rapid switching through all 30 biomes in a continuous loop; verify that old patterns/images are unreferenced, garbage collected, and memory stays strictly under 500 KB without leaking.
- Test missing/corrupt asset fallback: verify that when an image fails to load or is invalid, `getTileFallback` smoothly supplies the procedural palette without throwing unhandled exceptions or rendering black/white screens.

OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:
Write your adversarial test report with empirical evidence and explicit verdict (APPROVE or FAIL) in `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\challenger_m3_2\handoff.md`.
Send message to orchestrator_14 when complete.
