Adds the maquette X-wing (software-projected triangles, no three.js) as a foreground element in the Starfield viz. It's baked once to a cached buffer at a rear-3/4 hero pose (rotX 0.5, rotY 0 — engines toward the camera, nose up into the glow, canopy on the spine), then stamped each frame at bottom-centre with a cheap 2D transform: a slow glide bob plus a low-frequency turbulence sway/bank that swells with the music, and a soft engine wash that breathes on the beat. No per-frame re-projection (3k+ tris) — friendly to the Pi. Model lives at packages/player/src/models/xwing.js (verbatim maquette export, prettier-ignored; typed via xwing.d.ts).
The nose (the max-z end of the model, not the small z=-0.92 tail cone) was pointing toward the camera. Rotating the hero pose 180° about Y (rotY 0 → π, keeping rotX 0.5) points the nose up into the distance toward the nebula core — we see the rear/engines, ship receding to centre. Fixes the nose-down grievance.
Replace the software triangle-painter maquette with a real 3D model, precompiled from data/model.glb at author time and drawn live by a tiny WebGL renderer — no three.js in the runtime bundle. - scripts/gen-xwing.mjs: author-time extractor (run when the glb changes). Uses glTF-Transform as a DEV dependency — robust to any re-export (KHR_mesh_quantization, EXT_meshopt_compression, Draco, emissive-strength, interleaving). Bakes the node hierarchy into world space, merges every mesh, keys by a material table, and emits xwing.geometry.ts (base64 typed arrays, bundle-ready). - xwing-render.ts: minimal WebGL renderer — one Lambert program with a depth buffer (glitch-free), per-vertex material colour + baked emissive engine glow. Intrinsic rotation (Rx·Ry·Rz, Z innermost) so rotZ rolls about the fuselage. - Starfield: the ship holds a rear-3/4-from-above heading, nose up to the far nebula core, adrift on slow music-INDEPENDENT space eddies (lengthwise roll + all-axis tremor); near-orthographic telephoto so there's no perspective ballooning; eases near + still on pause. Drops the old maquette xwing.js/.d.ts.

Embeds the LLM-modeled X-wing (a maquette export — software-projected triangles, no three.js) into the
