Conversation
…e, library upgrade path (#838) Three fixes for 'weird fingers / twisted arm' on V2 clips (reported on the low-poly jump): 1. HAND-BASIS finger transport. The canonical-frame conjugation (Ct⁻¹·Drel·Ct) assumes the source extraction frame equals the target bind frame; when they disagree (the documented C≠Ct class) the curl AXIS lands wrong — fingers bend sideways/backward instead of toward the palm. Fingers articulate relative to the HAND, so the curl is now re-expressed through each side's hand basis (finger direction + palmward-from-thumb), which is frame-independent. Falls back to the Ct conjugation when either basis degenerates. Gregorio buildloop hands verified unchanged (the quality bar). 2. Finger plausibility gate: a chain whose per-segment articulation exceeds 120° at any frame holds bind (safety net for garbage source data). 3. V1→V2 library UPGRADE GAP: ensureLibraryBlocking early-returned whenever any local library existed, so pre-V2 installs never downloaded the V2 (52-joint, curated) library and kept the V1 side-channel finger path. When only V1 exists the V2 download is now attempted once per process; offline/404 keeps the local V1 working. Data (published to HF alongside this): block-hand rigs ('Animated Human Low Poly' — the mesh has no fingers, its finger bones were never authored) now ship with finger joints zeroed so targets hold their natural bind hands; build-motion-library-v6.py gains FINGERLESS_SOURCES for rebuilds.

Avoid blocking V1 users while attempting the upgrade
When only the legacy V1 library is installed, this new condition deliberately bypasses the existing early return and enters tryDownload, whose timeout is five minutes. Because listMotionClips() and the animation-generation paths call ensureLibraryBlocking() synchronously, an offline or stalled connection can now freeze an otherwise functional V1 user's UI/request for up to five minutes on every process launch before falling back to the local file. Keep serving V1 immediately and perform the V2 upgrade asynchronously, or use a short nonblocking availability check.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed — the upgrade attempt (when a working V1 exists) now uses a 20s timeout instead of 5 minutes, once per process; offline/stalled connections fall back to the local V1 quickly. Fresh installs (nothing to fall back to) keep the long timeout. Fully async download would need a bigger refactor of the synchronous callers; the short-bounded once-per-process attempt keeps the upgrade automatic with a capped worst case.

…, don't drop it (#838) Replaces the drop-the-data approach: the low-poly rig's finger curls are a clean single-axis rotation (measured 0.998 axis concentration) — the data was always fixable, only the basis estimate was wrong (its thumb rest direction fools the palmward heuristic). - SOURCE flexion axis: self-calibrated from the curl data itself — the dominant rotation axis of the non-thumb finger deltas (power-iterated, articulation-weighted), sign from the net curl (fingers flex far more than they extend). Used when concentration > 0.8. - TARGET flexion axis: the KNUCKLE LINE (seg0 bone positions of index..pinky), sign chosen so +rotation curls toward the palm (thumb side) — no thumb-direction guessing on either side. - Falls back to the thumb-palmward basis (rigs with sane thumb rests, e.g. Gregorio), then the Ct conjugation. - The FINGERLESS_SOURCES builder drop rule is reverted; the library keeps the original finger data (republished to HF). The 120°/segment plausibility gate stays as a last-resort guard for truly impossible data only.

Update — the animation is now FIXED rather than dropped. Analysis showed the low-poly rig's finger curls rotate about a single consistent axis (0.998 concentration) — the data was good; the basis estimate was wrong (its odd thumb rest fooled the palmward heuristic). The new commit adds a self-calibrating flexion basis: the source axis is measured from the curl data itself (dominant rotation axis, articulation-weighted), the target axis comes from its knuckle line, and the thumb is only used for the palm-side sign. The FINGERLESS_SOURCES drop rule is reverted and the original finger data republished to HF — low-poly jump fingers now curl naturally with the animation; Gregorio/Chibi hands unchanged. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Exclude gate-rejected chains from the source flexion-axis calibration.
The plausibility gate fills fingerChainUntrusted before this block. The covariance accumulation ignores that result and measures the dominant axis from fingers 1..4 including chains the gate rejected. In the documented case (a rig with a usable thumb and implausible index..pinky chains), flexS is then calibrated from data the gate deemed impossible, and fingerBasisMap[side] transports the surviving thumb through that basis.
The same block also reads prq at Line 3392 but validates only rq at Line 3394. The gate validates both (Lines 3280-3284). A zero prq currently survives because Ogre::Quaternion::Inverse() returns ZERO and the resulting delta is filtered by the axis-length check, so add the explicit check to keep the two code paths consistent.
Apply the same two filters to the second calibration pass at Lines 3431-3469, or the aligned/totW ratio will mix filtered and unfiltered samples.

Summary
Fixes the 'weird fingers + twisted arm' reports on V2 template clips (low-poly jump being the reported case).
Diagnosis
The low-poly jump's splayed-backward fingers had two compounding causes:
Ct⁻¹·Drel·Ctmaps the curl axis wrong when the source's extraction frame ≠ target bind frame (the documented C≠Ct class): magnitudes were plausible (≤80°/segment) but the axis was 57–87° off the flexion axis on the target → fingers bent sideways/backward.Fixes
ensureLibraryBlockingearly-returned when ANY local library existed — pre-V2 installs never downloaded the curated V2 library and stayed on the V1 side-channel finger path forever. Now attempts the V2 download once per process; offline keeps V1.FINGERLESS_SOURCES.Remaining known limit
The slight arm/wrist roll on some clips is the body-side C≠Ct roll baseline — prescribed fix is the schema-v5
bindCframe link (tracked separately).Verification
