-Deduplicated assets + added bezel roadmap
+Runtime validation pass completed after manifest deduplication and filename normalization.
+Expanded manifest discovery test to assert all active domains resolve through tools.manifest.json.
+Confirmed no remaining runtime references to deprecated games/<game>/assets/assets.json paths.
+No runtime breakages found in loader or renamed asset path resolution.

+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_10_14_ASTEROIDS_RUNTIME_VALIDATION_PASS
+
+## Purpose
+Validate that all prior changes (naming, manifest, deduplication) function correctly at runtime level.
+
+## Scope
+- Validate manifest discovery
+- Validate loader resolution
+- Validate asset access paths
+- Ensure no regressions
+
+## Testable Outcome
+- All tests pass
+- Loader resolves all assets via manifest
+- No references to deprecated assets.json
+- No filename coupling issues
+
+## Non-Goals
+- No new features
+- No engine changes
