+| Target/work package | M03 / `M03-RND-M2-NATIVE-ANIMATION-RESOURCE-OBSERVER-001` |

+| Profiles/capabilities | Existing native GryphonRoost animated M2 path |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Resolve the historical native animated M2 path as one synchronous observation:
+select a GryphonRoost candidate, reuse cached state, read animated raw data,
+build a detached prototype and publish either the prototype or static-only result.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Add native animation candidates or change the `gryphonroost` predicate.
+- Observe/request cached GLB animation or poll/finalize ResourceLoader work.
+- Duplicate, attach, animate or free accepted instances in the SceneTree.
+- Consume render permits or change build queue, batching and dispatch policy.
+- Change native parsing/building, cache formats, profiles or visible output.
+
+## Context and boundaries

+    Observer --> Prototype[Detached animated prototype]
+    Prototype --> Snapshot[M2BuildResourceSnapshot]
+    Observer -->|no prototype| Cached[M2CachedAnimationResourceObserver]
+```
+
+The observer is the native-first resource boundary. The loader supplies an
+already-normalized path and remains responsible for fallback ordering and for
+constructing the snapshot consumed by dispatch.
+
+## Public API
+
+| Symbol | Kind | Purpose | Failure behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `is_native_animation_candidate(path)` | Pure query | Apply the historical case-insensitive GryphonRoost substring policy | Empty/unmatched path returns false |
+| `observe(path, extracted_dir, repository, cache, debug)` | Command/query | Return an exact cached/new native prototype or record static-only fallback | Invalid/non-candidate input returns null without mutation |
+| `build_animated_prototype(data, extracted_dir)` | Adapter command | Call the retained native animated builder dependency | Missing builder or invalid result returns null |
+
+The optional constructor dependency exists for deterministic tests; production
+uses `M2NativeAnimatedBuilder` without a new abstraction or runtime setting.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Observation and native parsing/building remain synchronous on the renderer
+  main thread, exactly as before extraction; there is no mid-call cancellation.
+- The observer retains no path, raw Dictionary, Node or service reference.
+- Prototype cache owns an accepted detached Node until final shutdown; callers
+  only borrow the canonical reference.
+- The historical childless-builder rejection does not free its detached Node.
+  This deliberately preserved lifetime edge is documented as a remaining leak
+  risk rather than silently changed during architectural extraction.
+- Loader owns snapshots, fallback sequencing, permits, materialization and every
+  SceneTree mutation.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Empty/non-candidate path or missing dependency | Return null without state mutation | Correct composition/path |
+| Cached prototype | Return exact canonical Node immediately | None |
+| Existing static-only outcome | Return null without repeated I/O | New loader session after source repair |
+| Empty raw data or animated surfaces | Mark static-only and return null | Repair source/parser and start new session |
+| Null/childless build | Mark static-only and return null | Repair builder/data and start new session |
+| Duplicate successful build | Cache releases later candidate and returns first | None |
+| Cancellation during native call | Not supported; call completes | Loader controls whether the call starts |
+| Shutdown | Observer retains nothing | Cache releases adopted Nodes after drains |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The observer consumes the existing extracted directory and `debug_streaming`
+flag. Candidate policy remains the case-insensitive substring `gryphonroost`.
+No profile, cache, budget or animation setting is added.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No persistence or format changes are introduced. Positive and static-only state
+continues to use the shutdown-lifetime prototype cache; no asset rebake is needed.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+A successful debug-enabled build emits the unchanged `M2_NATIVE_ANIM_CACHE`
+record with path, surface count, bone count, animation id, sequence index,
+activity score and length. Rejections remain silent as before.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Dedicated synthetic verifier covers candidate policy, invalid dependencies,
+  cache identity, static suppression, raw/surface/build failures, preserved
+  childless lifetime, exact repository/builder arguments, adoption, source
+  ownership and bounded candidate checks.
+- Cached observer, raw repository, prototype cache, snapshot, dispatch, shutdown,
+  facade, internal-access and render-baseline checks protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact control-flow and diagnostic extraction. It is not
+  original-client animation, visual, memory or asset-backed performance evidence.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Terminal cached-GLB polling/finalization can move behind a separate adapter
+without changing this native-first contract. Candidate expansion requires its
+own fidelity evidence and must not silently change `Blizzlike335` behavior.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Native candidate selection | Implemented extraction | Policy/source/timing verifier | Additional candidates require fidelity work |
+| Raw read/build/cache outcome | Implemented extraction | Failure/identity/adoption verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Terminal cached ResourceLoader polling | Loader-owned | Existing pipeline regressions | Dedicated finalize adapter |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Native parsing/building is synchronous and not bounded by a render permit.
+- Rejected childless builder Nodes retain the historical unowned lifetime edge.
+- Private asset traversal, descriptor/leak pressure, p95/p99 and paired visual/
+  animation evidence remain unavailable in this package.
