+
+## Project Setup
+- **Unity**: 6.0 LTS (URP template).
+- **Platform**: iOS (Metal only). Switch platform before importing heavy assets.
+- **Packages**: AR Foundation 6.x, ARKit XR Plugin 6.x, (optional) XR Interaction Toolkit 3.x.
+- **Folder layout** is under `Assets/_Project/...` with `.asmdef` per root module.
+- Keep `Settings/` (URP and project assets) and `Packages/` committed.
+- Enable **Visible Meta Files** and **Force Text Serialization**.
+
+## Branching Model
+- `main`: protected; always releasable.
+- Use short‑lived branches: `feature/<topic>`, `fix/<topic>`, `chore/<topic>`.
+- Rebase or squash merge to keep history clean.
+- Tag releases with SemVer (e.g., `v0.1.0`).
+
+## Commit Messages
+We use **Conventional Commits**:
+```
+feat: add room mesh exporter (OBJ)
+fix: avoid collider spike when updating sharedMesh
+docs: update iOS build steps
+refactor: split placement into service + controller
+perf: decimate combined mesh when >3M tris
+test: add domain unit tests
+build: bump ARKit XR Plugin to 6.2.x
+ci: cache Library on CI
+revert: revert placement snapping change
+```
+Scope is optional (e.g., `feat(placement): ...`).
+
+## Pull Request Checklist
+- [ ] Builds in Unity Editor and exports to **Xcode**.
+- [ ] Tested on **real iOS device** (LiDAR when feature needs it).
+- [ ] Scene follows **hierarchy rules** (see below).
+- [ ] **No per‑frame allocations** in hot paths; profiled once on device.
+- [ ] `.asmdef` references minimal and correct; no upward dependencies.
+- [ ] Updated **README/CHANGELOG** if user‑facing behavior changed.
+- [ ] Added/updated **tests** (Domain: unit; ARRuntime/App: playmode/manual checklist).
+- [ ] **No secrets** or hardcoded URLs; use `ApiConfig` ScriptableObject.
+- [ ] Large binaries are tracked by **LFS**; unnecessary assets removed.
+
+## Coding Standards (C#)
+- Namespaces by module: `App.*`, `ARRuntime.*`, `Domain.*`, `Infra.*`.
+- Prefer `readonly` fields, `record` for immutable DTOs, `TryGetComponent` over `FindObjectOfType`.
+- Avoid `new` allocations in `Update`; reuse buffers/lists (`.Clear()`).
+- Use `async/await` for API; timeouts & cancellation tokens where sensible.
+- No logic in `MonoBehaviour` constructors; use `Awake/OnEnable/Start`.
+- Guard nulls; avoid exceptions for control flow.
+
+## Unity Guidelines
+- One **Main Camera** under **XR Origin**.
+- `ARMeshManager` **must be a child of XR Origin**.
+- Keep **AR managers** grouped under a child GO (e.g., `AR Managers`).
+- Update **MeshCollider.sharedMesh** only when the combined mesh changes.
+- Place assets under `Assets/_Project/Art/...`; avoid dumping in root.
+- Use **prefabs** for placeable furniture; include colliders at authoring time.
+
+## Scenes & Prefabs Rules
+- Scene names live in `Assets/_Project/App/Scenes/`.
+- Do not reference Sample assets. Delete `SampleScene` once the project boots.
+- Minimal global singletons. Prefer scene‑local controllers in `App/Controllers`.
+- Prefabs: no missing scripts; default layer unless a dedicated layer is needed.
+
+## Feature Flags
+- Compile‑time defines:
+  - `LIGHTSHIP_ENABLED` → compiles `Detectors.Lightship/` only when set.
+  - `ROOMPLAN_ENABLED` → future native bridge for RoomPlan.
+- Runtime toggles: ScriptableObject `ProjectFeatures` (in `Infra/Settings/`).
+
+## API Config & Secrets
+- `Infra/Settings/ApiConfig` contains the base URL and timeouts per env.
+- **Do not commit secrets** or production keys.
+- For iOS, additional entitlements (e.g., iCloud) should be added in Xcode per‑target, not committed if secret‑bearing.
+
+## Testing
+- **Domain**: unit tests (EditMode).
+- **ARRuntime/App**: PlayMode tests + manual device checklist.
+- Provide a short test plan for PRs affecting scanning/placement.
+
+## Performance Budget
+- IL2CPP, ARM64, **Metal only**.
+- URP: SRP Batcher ON, MSAA 2x, mobile shadows.
+- Mesh combine every **1–2 s**; consider decimation > 3M tris.
+- Avoid large textures where not needed; prefer 2K for preview.
+
+## Git LFS & Large Files
+- Track large assets: `*.glb, *.gltf, *.obj, *.fbx, *.psd, *.exr, *.hdr, *.tga, *.tif`.
+- Keep big room exports outside `Assets/` in a top‑level `Scans/` folder (LFS‑tracked) to reduce Unity import cost.
+- Use **LFS locking** for shared binary assets when editing (`git lfs lock` / `unlock`).
+
+## Releases
+- Bump version using **SemVer** and update **CHANGELOG.md** (Keep a Changelog format).
+- Tag the commit (`vX.Y.Z`) and create a GitHub Release with notes and device compatibility.
+- Attach build artifacts as needed; Xcode projects are generated from Unity.
+
+## Code Review
+- At least **1 approval** (or 2 for risky changes).
+- Reviewers check: compile/run on device, profiler snapshot, GC allocs, scene hierarchy, asmdef deps, docs updated.
+
+## Smart Merge
+Enable Unity SmartMerge globally:
+```
+git config --global merge.unityyamlmerge.name "Unity SmartMerge (YAML)"
+git config --global merge.unityyamlmerge.driver "<UnityPath>/Tools/UnityYAMLMerge merge -p %O %A %B %P"
+```
+Ensure **Visible Meta Files** and **Force Text** are set in Unity.

+# AR Room Scanner & Furnishing — **iOS-first (Unity 6.0 LTS)**
+
+Clean, modular Unity **6.0 LTS** project focused on **iOS (ARKit)** for:
+1) **Scanning** a real room on-device (LiDAR Scene Reconstruction when available)  
+2) **Measuring** in real-world meters  
+3) **Placing furniture** with collisions and snapping  
+4) Optional **Object Detection** (kept behind a compile flag)  
+5) Optional **RoomPlan** integration path (native bridge) for semantic room models
+
+This repo is designed to be stable today and easy to evolve (upgrade to 6.1/6.2 later).

+
+## Why iOS
+- **Best on-device scanning** via **ARKit Scene Reconstruction** on **LiDAR** devices (dense mesh, stable scale).  
+- **Consistent tracking & depth** across supported iPhones/iPads.  
+- Future option: **RoomPlan** (iOS 16+, LiDAR) to produce **semantic, parametric** rooms (walls/doors/windows) with accurate dimensions.

+    Tests/                      # EditMode/PlayMode tests
+  Settings/                     # URP & project assets (keep!)
+  XR/                           # added by packages
+```
+
+**Keep `Settings/`** (URP pipeline assets & editor links).  
+A separate top-level `Scans/` folder (outside `Assets/`) is recommended for large exports to avoid re-import churn.
+
+---
+
+## Assembly Definitions & Dependencies
+
+Create one `.asmdef` per root module:
+
+- `Domain` (no references)  
+- `Infra` → references `Domain`  
+- `ARRuntime` → references `Domain`  
+- `App` → references `ARRuntime`, `Infra`, `Domain`  
+- `Detectors.Lightship` → references `Infra`, `Domain` with **define constraint** `LIGHTSHIP_ENABLED`  
+- `Tests` → references as needed
+
+**Dependency direction**  
+`App → (ARRuntime, Infra, Domain)`  
+`ARRuntime → Domain`  
+`Infra → Domain`  
+`Domain` depends on nothing
+
+This keeps compile times low and prevents “upward” coupling.
+
+---
+
+## Packages & Versions
+- **Unity**: 6.0 LTS (URP template)
+- **AR Foundation**: 6.x  
+- **ARKit XR Plugin**: 6.x  
+- (Optional) XR Interaction Toolkit 3.x  
+- TextMesh Pro (built-in)
+
+> Pin package versions in `Packages/manifest.json` once the project compiles cleanly.
+
+---
+
+## Device Support Matrix
+
+| Capability | Requirement | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| ARKit basic tracking | iPhone 8+ / iOS 13+ (practical: iOS 15+) | Non-LiDAR devices won’t produce dense meshes. |
+| **Scene Reconstruction (meshing)** | **LiDAR** devices (e.g., iPhone 12 Pro+, 13 Pro+, 14 Pro/Pro Max, 15 Pro/Pro Max; iPad Pro 2020+) | AR Foundation exposes meshes via `ARMeshManager`. |
+| Environment Depth / People Occlusion | Device-dependent | Used for occlusion realism; works best on LiDAR. |
+| **RoomPlan** (future) | iOS 16+, **LiDAR** | Generates semantic room model via native SDK. |
+
+We gracefully **fall back**: if no LiDAR mesh is available, we still support plane detection + measurements.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1) **Switch to iOS**  
+   `File → Build Settings → iOS → Switch Platform`.
+
+2) **Install packages** (Window → Package Manager)  
+   - AR Foundation 6.x  
+   - ARKit XR Plugin 6.x  
+   - (Optional) XR Interaction Toolkit 3.x
+
+3) **Project Settings (iOS)**  
+   - **Player → iOS**  
+     - Scripting Backend: **IL2CPP**  
+     - Target Architectures: **ARM64**  
+     - Graphics APIs: **Metal** (only)  
+     - Minimum iOS Version: **15+** recommended (RoomPlan needs 16+)  
+     - Camera Usage Description (Info.plist): e.g., _“AR scanning requires camera access.”_  
+     - Photo Library Add Usage Description (if you export files to Photos)  
+     - Motion Usage Description (only if you use CoreMotion; otherwise omit)
+   - **XR Plug-in Management → iOS**  
+     - Enable **ARKit**  
+     - In ARKit settings, enable **Environment Depth** (and People Occlusion if needed)
+   - **URP**  
+     - SRP Batcher: **ON**  
+     - MSAA: **2x**  
+     - Mobile-friendly shadows
+
+4) **Scenes**  
+   - Create `Bootstrap.unity`, `ScanScene.unity`, `FurnishScene.unity` under `Assets/_Project/App/Scenes/`.
+
+5) **First run**  
+   - Add `Bootstrap` and `ScanScene` to Build Settings (Bootstrap first).  
+   - Build to Xcode, set signing, run on device.
+
+---
+
+## iOS Build & Xcode Setup
+
+1) **Build in Unity** → generates an Xcode project.  
+2) **Xcode**  
+   - Select your **Team** & Provisioning profile  
+   - Ensure **Camera** privacy string is present (Unity will add based on Player Settings)  
+   - In “Signing & Capabilities”, you typically **don’t** need extra entitlements for ARKit beyond camera; add **Files (iCloud)** only if you export to Files app.  
+3) **Run on device** (USB).  
+4) If you see a black camera feed: check Privacy strings, ensure real device (not Simulator), and that `Requires ARKit` is set (Unity: Player → iOS → “Requires ARKit”).
+
+---
+
+## Scenes & Flow
+
+### `Bootstrap.unity`
+Minimal loader that switches to the first “real” scene:
+
+```csharp
+using UnityEngine;
+using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
+
+public class Bootstrap : MonoBehaviour
+{
+    [SerializeField] string firstScene = "ScanScene";
+    void Start() => SceneManager.LoadScene(firstScene, LoadSceneMode.Single);
+}
+```
+
+### `ScanScene.unity` (first milestone)
+**Hierarchy (suggested)**
+
+```
+AR Session
+XR Origin
+  └─ Camera Offset
+     └─ Main Camera (tag: MainCamera)
+AR Managers (child of XR Origin)
+  ├─ AR Plane Manager
+  ├─ AR Raycast Manager
+  └─ AR Mesh Manager          # must be under XR Origin in ARF 6
+RoomMesh (MeshFilter + MeshRenderer + MeshCollider)
+RoomScanner (script)          # combines AR chunks into RoomMesh
+MeasureLine (LineRenderer)
+MeasureTool (script)          # tap A→B distances in meters
+```
+
+On the **Main Camera** (child of XR Origin): add **AR Camera Manager** and **AR Occlusion Manager**.
+
+### `FurnishScene.unity` (next milestone)
+- Placement raycasts and snapping to **floor/walls**  
+- Overlap checks / colliders to prevent interpenetration  
+- Occlusion enabled for realism
+
+---
+
+## Core Modules
+
+### `ARRuntime/Scanning` — RoomScanner
+- Polls `ARMeshManager.meshes` and **combines** all chunks into a single mesh every N seconds.  
+- Assigns that mesh to `RoomMesh`’s `MeshFilter` and `MeshCollider`.  
+- The combined mesh is in **meters** (Unity units = meters), so measuring is straightforward.
+
+### `ARRuntime/Measurement` — MeasureTool
+- Touch once = point A, touch again = point B.  
+- Draws a line (`LineRenderer`) and shows **meters** to 2 decimals.  
+- Uses `Physics.Raycast` against the combined collider or against detected planes.
+
+### `ARRuntime/Placement`
+- Raycast from screen to floor/wall planes or to the combined mesh.  
+- Snap by projecting onto a plane’s normal.  
+- Prevent collisions with `Physics.OverlapBox/Sphere` before placing.
+
+---
+
+## API Integration
+
+Interface-first, so the app logic doesn’t depend on a concrete client:
+
+```csharp
+// Infra/Api/IFurnitureApi.cs
+public interface IFurnitureApi
+{
+    Task<IReadOnlyList<Furniture>> GetVariantsAsync(IEnumerable<string> ids);
+    Task<IReadOnlyList<Furniture>> SearchAsync(string query, int page = 1, int pageSize = 20);
+}
+```
+
+```csharp
+// Infra/Api/HttpFurnitureApi.cs
+public sealed class HttpFurnitureApi : IFurnitureApi
+{
+    private readonly HttpClient _http;
+    private readonly ApiConfig _cfg;
+
+    public HttpFurnitureApi(HttpClient http, ApiConfig cfg) { _http = http; _cfg = cfg; }
+
+    public async Task<IReadOnlyList<Furniture>> GetVariantsAsync(IEnumerable<string> ids)
+    {
+        var url = $"{_cfg.BaseUrl}/api/v1/FurnitureVariant/GetByIds";
+        using var resp = await _http.PostAsJsonAsync(url, ids);
+        resp.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
+        return await resp.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<List<Furniture>>() ?? new();
+    }
+
+    public async Task<IReadOnlyList<Furniture>> SearchAsync(string query, int page = 1, int pageSize = 20)
+    {
+        var url = $"{_cfg.BaseUrl}/api/v1/FurnitureVariant/Search?query={Uri.EscapeDataString(query)}&page={page}&pageSize={pageSize}";
+        return await _http.GetFromJsonAsync<List<Furniture>>(url) ?? new();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Config**: `Infra/Settings/ApiConfig` (ScriptableObject) with `BaseUrl`, timeouts, and environment selectors (DEV/QA/PROD).
+
+---
+
+## Configuration & Environments
+
+Create a `ProjectFeatures` ScriptableObject (in `Infra/Settings/`) with toggles:
+- `useMeshing` (on by default)
+- `useOcclusion` (environment/people)
+- `useObjectDetection` (off; Lightship behind `LIGHTSHIP_ENABLED`)
+- `enableExports` (to write OBJ/GLB to app storage)
+
+This lets QA test different combinations without code changes.
+
+---
+
+## Version Control (Git, LFS, SmartMerge)
+
+- Keep **text/YAML** in Git (scenes, prefabs, materials, `.meta`, `ProjectSettings/`, `Packages/`).  
+- Track **large binaries** (GLB/OBJ/FBX/PSDs/EXR/8K textures) with **Git LFS**.  
+- Enable **Unity Smart Merge** for clean scene/prefab merges.
+
+(We also recommend a top-level `Scans/` folder, LFS-tracked, for big room exports.)
+
+---
+
+## Performance Guidelines (iOS/Metal)
+
+- **Metal only**, IL2CPP, ARM64.  
+- URP: **SRP Batcher ON**, **MSAA 2×**, mobile shadows.  
+- Avoid per-frame allocations; reuse buffers.  
+- Combine mesh at **intervals** (1–2 s) rather than every frame.  
+- Update `MeshCollider.sharedMesh` **only when merged mesh changes** to avoid spikes.  
+- Consider decimation for very large meshes if triangle count exceeds target thresholds.
+
+---
+
+## RoomPlan (future path)
+
+If you need clean, semantic floorplans and furniture categories:
+- Implement a **native iOS plugin** (Swift/Obj-C) that runs RoomPlan (iOS 16+, LiDAR).  
+- Export **USDZ/USDA/OBJ/GLTF** or RoomPlan **JSON**; import into Unity via `Infra/Persistence`.  
+- Provide an adapter `IRoomImporter` so `App` can switch between **Scene Reconstruction mesh** and **RoomPlan semantic model** at runtime/build time.
+
+Keep all RoomPlan code behind a **`ROOMPLAN_ENABLED`** define if you prefer the same pattern as Lightship.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Popup: “An ARMeshManager must be a child of an XROrigin.”**  
+  Move `ARMeshManager` under **XR Origin** (not on the same GO).
+
+- **Black camera feed**  
+  Real device only (no Simulator), **Camera** usage string present, `Requires ARKit` ticked, provisioning OK.
+
+- **No mesh appears**  
+  Device may not have LiDAR; fall back to planes & depth. Ensure ARKit Scene Reconstruction is supported on the test device.
+
+- **Raycast doesn’t hit**  
+  Ensure `RoomMesh` has a **MeshCollider** and that you merged at least once. Check layers.
+
+- **Build fails in Xcode**  
+  Clear Derived Data, check signing, ensure Metal is the only graphics API.
+
+---
+
+## Roadmap
+
+- ✅ iOS-first scanning (Scene Reconstruction), measuring, placement skeleton  
+- ⏳ Exporters (OBJ/GLB + Draco), thumbnails, metadata (`units`, `bbox`, triangle count)  
+- ⏳ Furniture placement UX (snapping gizmos, grid, rotation/align to wall)  
+- ⏳ Semantic planes (wall/floor/ceiling) classification helpers  
+- ⏳ RoomPlan native bridge (optional feature flag)  
+- ⏳ Lightship detection re-enable (compile flag)

+## License
+TBD — choose a license that suits your distribution model (MIT/Apache-2.0/Proprietary).
+
+---
+
+### Quick Start (TL;DR)
+1. Open in Unity **6.0 LTS**, switch to **iOS**.  
+2. Install **AR Foundation 6.x** + **ARKit XR Plugin 6.x**.  
+3. Player: **IL2CPP / ARM64 / Metal**, iOS 15+, Camera privacy string.  
+4. XR Plug-in Management: **ARKit ON**, enable Environment Depth.  
+5. Open **ScanScene** → Run on a **LiDAR** device → tap two points to measure in meters.  
+6. Move to **FurnishScene** for placement once scanning feels good.
