Task:
Investigate the root cause and formulate the fix strategy for the UV overflow defect in `tools/asset_pipeline/monster_character_pipeline_scaffold.py`:
1. Inspect `monster_character_pipeline_scaffold.py`. Analyze how monster archetype manifests (10 archetypes) and character manifests (6 classes) calculate grid layout, row indices, frame coordinates `(x, y)`, and normalized UV coordinates `[u0, v0, u1, v1]`.
2. Determine why V > 1.0 occurs: `textureHeight` is declared as 2048, but advancing row indices across 48 rows (48*160 = 7680 px) or 80 rows (80*192 = 15360 px) pushes y far beyond 2048px, causing V in [1.0, 7.5].
3. Formulate an exact mathematical fix strategy: e.g., reset row index per archetype / per character class so each individual atlas sheet fits within 2048x2048 (or calculate dynamic power-of-two texture height, or paginate per sheet), ensuring every single frame's u1 <= 1.0 and v1 <= 1.0.
4. Output your analysis to c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_rem_1\analysis.md and deliver handoff.md in your working directory. Send a completion message to your parent orchestrator.
