 ## Autoload: manages all available player skins.
 ##
 ## Skins come from two places:
-##   1. Built-in color tints for the procedural model (registered below).
+##   1. Built-in signature characters (registered below). These are the
+##      authored Sakura/Akiba defaults and may layer equipment over a GLB rig.
 ##   2. assets/characters/skins/skins.json — written automatically by
 ##      tools/pipeline.py for every imported character. No code changes needed
 ##      to add a new model: run the pipeline, restart the game, it's there.
