 ## Link the repository
 
 After moving aside the previous copied folder at `Zomboid/mods/KnoxBuildworksViewpointCrates`, run in PowerShell with symbolic-link support:
 
 ```powershell
-New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Zomboid\mods\KnoxBuildworksViewpointCrates" -Target "$env:USERPROFILE\Git\KnoxBuildWorksViewpoint"
+New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Zomboid\mods\hrsys_knoxbuildworksviewpoint" -Target "$env:USERPROFILE\Git\KnoxBuildWorksViewpoint"
 ```
 
 The game then reads `common` and `42.20` directly from this checkout. Use one copy of this mod ID in the mods folder. The migration did not replace your existing local installation or create the link.

 # Knox Buildworks - Viewpoint Compatibility
 
-The matcher and the updated patch are installed locally. Enable **Knox Buildworks - Viewpoint Compatibility** after Knox Buildworks, Project Viewpoint and 6244 models for Viewpoint. It retains the original patch's mod ID, `KnoxBuildworksViewpointCrates`, so an already-enabled crate patch does not require a second mod entry. Fully restart the game after this update.

 **216 buildables have parts with no accepted compatible authored model (561 sprite references).** I reviewed their families, metadata, candidate matches and relevant sprite contact sheets. They include specialized wall/door trims, curtains/open states, particular window shapes, signage and multi-tile railing parts. Assigning similar furniture, signs with different artwork, or a complete model to each small section would produce incorrect objects. Their existing native rendering is retained. Faithful additional replacements require suitable model assets or new mesh/texture work; the script does not claim that these gaps are fixed.

-`Build-KnoxViewpointPatch.ps1` is now a compatibility launcher for the expanded matcher. Run the matcher again after Workshop updates. It reads the source author's actual manifest registration order, checks that reviewed crate targets/sources still identify crates, and copies only the selected OBJ files and their material/texture dependencies. Source Workshop files are untouched.

-Add a reviewed assignment under `matches` in `reviewed-matches.json` using an existing source sprite, evidence, and expected source/target CustomName. A regular assignment reuses the source model and transform; `adaptation: white-crate` additionally creates a white texture atlas. A `tint` value such as `#626763` retints a green atlas while preserving relative luminance and alpha. Reviewed choices take precedence over automatic aliases. Candidate shortlists are suggestions, not approved assignments. Rebuild after editing.

 ## Validation and limits
 
 - Matcher regression tests cover the crate/sign numbering collision, real aliases, properties-only tile blocks, variant IDs, capitalized/hyphenated sprite names, native routes, manifest precedence, review suggestions and white adaptation/source preservation.
 - Installed Viewpoint Java parsers accept all 18 bindings, meshes, materials and texture references with zero manifest errors.
 - Zomboid's Kahlua compiler and mocked boot/start registration/retry checks pass.
-- `crate-model-preview.png` is an offline mesh preview, not an in-game screenshot.
+- `docs/crate-model-preview.png` is an offline mesh preview, not an in-game screenshot.
 - In-game appearance has not been visually tested. Check green, gray and white crates in both orientations and in stacks after restarting. Existing crates should pick up their bindings when loaded. Colored paint finishes may remain neutral white in Viewpoint.
 
 This patch changes rendering bindings only. It does not rewrite save objects, sprite names, recipes, inventory or container contents/capacity. Disable this patch to remove its bindings while keeping the original construction mods enabled. The bundled asset copies are for this private local build; sour_kisel owns the source models and textures.
