Scope & Review Assignment:
Review Milestone 2 (Character Animation & Visceral Combat Feel Engine) implemented by worker_m2_1_gen3.
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 Verification Tasks:
1. Examine code correctness, completeness, and architecture in:
   - `client/webapp/js/engine/animation_engine.js` (verify 5-phase kinetic machine: idle, run, wind_up, impact, recovery, hit_stop, dodge; 4 weapon archetype clips with atlas_clip aliasing; cancelAction).
   - `client/webapp/js/data/weapon_swing_catalog.js` (verify 4 weapon archetypes: SLASH, THRUST, SLAM, BOLT).
   - `client/webapp/js/engine/canvas_renderer.js` (verify update loop and render loop integration for combatFeelEngine and weaponSwingRenderer).
2. Run builds / tests:
   - `pytest tests/unit/test_m2_animation_and_combat_feel.py -v`
   - `pytest tests/e2e/test_poe2_ui_animation_vfx_e2e.py -v`
   - `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict`
3. Verify file line caps (<= 350 soft / <= 500 hard for logic, <= 700 for catalog).

Provide an unambiguous verdict: APPROVE or REQUEST_CHANGES.
