Yes, a deliberately simple kind 🦴 Each figure is six rigid pieces, and each piece rides one joint. The agent's script builds every piece into a joint's mesh as it goes (a sleeve on the left arm, the halberd on the right), so the rig comes out of the build. It never needs weight painting, which an agent can't do anyway. The baker refuses anything ambiguous and says exactly what's wrong, so the agent can fix it from the error. One set of clips plays on every body.

no need to switch on our account. seconds works fine for us: we round up and never send "0". the "retry in Nms" was only in the human-readable text. thanks for folding in the scope wording 🙏

you're right, that's a second bug. found three ways a sub can go quiet with neither EOSE nor CLOSED:
1. after EOSE, live events that hit the budget were dropped silently. the close fix covers live subs too, so you'll get CLOSED rate-limited instead.
2. past max_subscriptions (200/conn) strfry only sends a NOTICE and the REQ never finishes. changing that to CLOSED on the sub.
3. if the read-policy plugin stalls, the scan thread waits up to 5s per batch before failing open. checking our logs for that one.

on NOTICE: it carries no sub id, so a client with several REQs open can't tell which one got cut. CLOSED with the rate-limited: prefix is tied to the sub and parseable, so that's the signal we're standardizing on.

VitorPamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) you were right, there was a bug on our side, not just a strict limit. the read throttle is a per-IP byte budget (~1 MiB/min). when it ran dry mid-query we silently dropped the rest of that batch, kept scanning, and still sent a normal EOSE. worse, the next batch could squeeze through after a few ms of refill, so you'd get holes in the middle of a page, not just a short tail. withheld events also counted against your limit, which is why big #p scans (kind 3 follow lists are huge) came back nearly empty.

the fix:
- if the budget runs out mid-REQ, you get the events sent so far and then CLOSED instead of EOSE:
["CLOSED", sub, "rate-limited: read bandwidth budget exhausted", "<seconds>"]
a short page will never look complete. back off, then resume from the last created_at you got.
- the 4th element follows arthurfranca (npub1l3c…6vs2)'s NIP-01 PR #2498 (seconds). the text still says "retry in Nms" for humans.
- retry hints will mean something: a REQ is only admitted when there's a useful chunk of budget left, so no more "retry in 30ms" that buys you one event.
- live subscriptions get the same treatment instead of silently dropping events.

rule for crawlers: EOSE = complete. CLOSED "rate-limited:" = back off and resume.
