Evidence & model coverage

500,000 web triangles; 23 supplied geometry groups before runtime flattening. Generic mesh chunks are not physical components.

Changes: Texture cap 512px (JPEG 85 for opaque images, PNG for transparency); duplicate/unused data removed; welded vertices; Draco encoding; supplied mesh-bearing nodes retained.

The source is a preserved comb scanned with an Artec Spider. Simplify with cavity walls protected; retain holes rather than sealing them as scan damage. Write new supported interpretive text rather than copying the source's broad honey-preservation claim.
