What documented methods lock feet / enforce contact during motion retargeting, and what are their limits?

Partially verified: the curator re-read S44, S46; S45, S47 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Foot contact is enforced as a separate constraint stage, not by motion plausibility: the reference footskate solver takes explicit plant intervals and exposes a threshold trading knee pops against leg stretching; Auto-Rig Pro Remap documents IK feet as avoiding the sliding seen with FK feet; learned retargeting papers still add IK contact cleanup (producer reading). All methods need contact information, and wrong contact labels create wrong locks. Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read S44, S46; S45, S47 were not re-read by the curator and rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S45: HTTP 200, bytes differ from the producer pin; S47: HTTP 200, bytes differ from the producer pin. Docs read 2026-10-22; no motion processed. Aberman et al. claims (end-effector loss; IK cleanup) not re-read (PDF over size cap). Rokoko foot-lock docs unread (403). Limitations: Docs read 2026-10-22; no motion processed. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
