06 Export Pipeline

Required Export Formats

| Format | Use |

| --- | --- |

| PNG | sprites, UI, tiles, FX frames, previews |

| Texture Atlas | runtime batching and animation frames |

| JSON | frame metadata, pivots, collision, events |

| YAML | production definitions and approval metadata |

| Metadata | ownership, version, source links, QA score |

| Checksums | package integrity |

| Hashes | reproducible asset identity |

Export Rules

• PNG files use RGBA.
• Transparent sprites must preserve alpha.
• Atlas exports must include frame names.
• JSON metadata must reference the source YAML ID.
• Checksums are generated after export, not before.
• Hashes change when visual output changes.
