 - Duplicating an Avatar duplicates its Avatar behavior library when one exists.

+- Secondary primitives have independent local dimensions, position, rotation and color.
 - Expressions remain compatible across body surfaces because they operate in the common facial frame.
 - `features/avatar/geometry.ts` and the exported procedural engine stay independent from React.
 - `features/studio/defaultStudioDocument.json` is the current schema baseline; pre-release legacy migrations are not required.
