 - early box brushes are axis-aligned only with fixed face IDs
 - placed imported models are `modelInstances`, not `entities`
 - local draft persistence plus explicit JSON import/export is acceptable early
+- once scenes depend on external binary assets, portable save/load must move to a project package containing canonical scene JSON plus bundled assets
 - broad roadmap items may be split into smaller implementation chats as long as each chat still lands a coherent vertical slice

 #### Deliverables
 
-- GLB export improvements
-- scene packaging options
-- embeddable runner route or bundle
+- explicit project package export path
+- explicit project package import path
+- canonical `scene.json` plus bundled assets
+- support for scenes with or without external assets
+- clear diagnostics for missing or incompatible packaged assets
+
+#### Acceptance criteria
+
+- user can move a project between machines and continue editing it
+- imported assets survive project package export/import
+- project package structure is explicit and understandable

+### Slice 5.4 — Runner package and embeddable runner
+
+#### Deliverables
+
+- runner package output path
+- embeddable or standalone runner route/bundle
+- packaged runtime scene plus required assets
 - production asset optimization hooks where easy and justified
 
 #### Acceptance criteria
 
-- user can reasonably share or deploy scenes
+- user can export a playable runner package from authored scenes
 - runner package loads reliably in target browsers
+- runner package is clearly separate from editable project save/load
