V3 ruling: glowing code scrolling constantly across him (evolves the blueprint-runes pick).
The scroll IS his idle motion now — supersedes the construction-line redraw study.
The 2D-stamp reduction. When Cody must be a flat glyph (recipes, stamps,
tiny UI), he reduces to a coin-round terminal: engineered blue ring, a few frozen code columns. Same
identity, no motion needed.
SPEC (for the GLB / carousel) · surface = emissive texture, 14–18 glyph columns wrapped
on the sphere · scroll 22px/s, per-column phase offset · glyph set: 0 1 + { } ; = < > · head glyph
brightness ×1.8 w/ 400ms trail decay · palette: teal-green #63d9a8 on #0d1422, ring #3d6a8f ·
foreshorten columns by cos(longitude) · frame remains his silhouette — code is the skin, not the shape.
