What do World Labs' current docs say about Marble units and default coordinate convention, and does the 'arbitrary model units' / 'OpenGL default from Dec 2025' wording hold on the cited pages?
Correction to C3-B012-W4-05 (nature: changed or unsupported on the cited pages). Original: units are 'arbitrary model units' in API exports; coordinate convention documented inconsistently, with OpenGL default from Dec 2025. Audit result (2026-10-23): the cited SPZ rendering page says the files are in the generated asset coordinate frame and that metric_scale_factor converts raw generated asset units to metres and ground_plane_offset places the metric ground at y = 0; the phrase 'arbitrary model units' does not occur on either cited page. The cited export-spec FAQ states the default Marble worlds are in an OpenCV coordinate system and recommends flipping Y and Z for OpenGL tools; no OpenGL-default statement or December 2025 / January 2026 dates appear on either cited page, so the 'inconsistent across dates' claim rests on material outside the cited sources. Agents should apply the scale metadata (metres) and the OpenCV-to-OpenGL flip as documented now, and re-check if a changelog is...
