You are explorer_rem_2, an Explorer subagent for FreeExile.
Your working directory is: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_rem_2
Your parent orchestrator is orchestrator_22 (conversation ID: 34037784-62e1-41f8-bfe6-912696fdec14).

MANDATORY: You MUST read c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md under header ## 2026-10-04T12:05:22Z before starting work.
Also read:
- c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_22\PROJECT.md

Task:
Investigate and formulate the fix strategy for the test hygiene violation and assertion strength in `tests/e2e_cocos/test_vfx_texture_atlas_pipeline_e2e.py`:
1. Inspect `tests/e2e_cocos/test_vfx_texture_atlas_pipeline_e2e.py` (currently 575 lines). Identify why it exceeds the 500-line Hard Cap in `check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py`.
2. Determine how to modularize or streamline the test suite so all test files are strictly under 500 lines (e.g. split into `test_vfx_texture_atlas_pipeline_e2e.py` and `test_vfx_scaffolding_and_parity_e2e.py`, or extract test fixtures/helpers into a separate helper module, keeping all tests intact).
3. Inspect `test_t1_monster_and_character_scaffolding_structure` which had a shallow assertion (`assert has_scaffold_script or has_resource_dirs`) and design rigorous assertions verifying:
   - Resource directory structure exists for all 10 monsters and 6 characters.
   - All frames across all monster and character manifests have valid UV coordinates in [0.0, 1.0].
4. Output your analysis to c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_rem_2\analysis.md and deliver handoff.md in your working directory. Send a completion message to your parent orchestrator.
