What I fixed:
Removed the warning-calculation N+1 queries. Occupancy warnings now use one floor-plan participant query instead of per-scene character/asset lookups.
Added SceneFloorPlanParticipant_ListByFloorPlan to the existing migration script with SET ANSI_NULLS ON and SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON.
Reapplied the migration locally.
Confirmed FloorPlanBlock_Save, FloorPlan_GetEditor, and the new participant proc have quoted identifiers enabled.
Reduced drag/resize freeze risk by throttling expensive geometry recalculation to animation frames instead of every pointer event.
Added a final geometry refresh on pointer-up/cancel before autosave.
Improved autosave failure visibility by showing the real error in the editor, not just leaving status stuck.
Made Occupancy mode view/staging only:Blocks no longer start drag/resize in Occupancy mode.
Resize handles are hidden.
Structural toolbox is hidden.
Plan canvas expands to use the freed width.
Structure mode restores normal editing.
Verification:
dotnet build PlotLine.slnx passes with 0 warnings and 0 errors.
Non-destructive SQL smoke test of FloorPlanBlock_Save against the Lounge block passed inside a transaction and rolled back.
Confirmed the Lounge block stayed unchanged after the rollback.
Reapplied 081_FloorPlanFloorDescriptionAndOccupancyWarnings.sql successfully.

Manual browser QA still needed for the exact drag/add/reload flow, but the code path and SQL save path are now stabilized.
What changed:
Removed the standalone floor-plan details panel under the page title.
Added current-floor Description and editable Root Location into the Floors toolbox tab.
Added live computed Occupancy Warnings in Occupancy mode.
Preserved the existing AJAX workspace flow, including active floor/toolbox tab/mode/selected occupancy scene through refreshes.
Added floor description support via a new migration:
[081_FloorPlanFloorDescriptionAndOccupancyWarnings.sql](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Sql/081_FloorPlanFloorDescriptionAndOccupancyWarnings.sql)
Database changes:
Added nullable FloorPlanFloors.Description.
Updated active stored procedures:FloorPlan_GetEditor
FloorPlanFloor_Get
FloorPlanFloor_ListByPlan
FloorPlanFloor_Save
Warnings are not persisted. No warning tables were added.

Verification:
Applied the new migration locally.
Confirmed FloorPlanFloors.Description exists.
Confirmed scene/occupancy source data exists for The Calendar House.
dotnet build PlotLine.slnx passes with 0 warnings and 0 errors.
Manual QA still needed in the browser: edit floor description/root location, switch Structure/Occupancy mode, step scenes, and confirm warnings/tokens update visually without jumps.
What Changed
Added scene-owned occupancy data:Scenes.FloorPlanID
Scenes.InitialFloorPlanFloorID
new SceneFloorPlanOccupancy table
Added Occupancy section to the Scene Inspector with AJAX save/refresh.
Added Floor Plan editor Structure / Occupancy mode.
Occupancy mode shows linked scenes, previous/next scene controls, and character/asset tokens inside assigned locations.
Character tokens use image thumbnail, then initials fallback. Asset tokens do the same, smaller.
No Features, no new floor-plan architecture, no transition changes.

Database
Added new migration only: [080_SceneFloorPlanOccupancy.sql](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Sql/080_SceneFloorPlanOccupancy.sql)
Applied locally.
Added constraints/FKs and filtered unique indexes for one character/asset occupancy row per scene.
Stored Procedures Added/Updated
Scene_Save
Scene_Get
Scene_FloorPlanLink_Save
Scene_ListByFloorPlan
FloorPlanFloor_ListByPlan
FloorPlanBlock_ListByPlan
SceneFloorPlanOccupancy_ListByScene
SceneFloorPlanOccupancy_ListByFloorPlan
SceneFloorPlanOccupancy_Save
Test Data
Permanent Calendar House seed data added:
Book: The Calendar House
Chapters 1-3
14 scenes
Characters: Ellie, Grant, Stephen, Housekeeper, Gardener
Assets: Brass Key, Journal, Candle, Map, Letter
45 occupancy assignments
Verification
dotnet build PlotLine.slnx passes with 0 warnings/errors.
Migration applied locally.
Local app boots and returns HTTP 200.
DB checks confirm 14 linked scenes and 45 occupancy rows.
Manual browser click-through of the authenticated UI still needs a human pass for the AJAX controls and visual token placement.
Changed
Added image fields for Characters and Story Assets in models, view models, repositories, services, and save flows.
Added reusable avatar/initials rendering via [AvatarHelper.cs](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Services/AvatarHelper.cs) and [_Avatar.cshtml](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Views/Shared/_Avatar.cshtml).
Added upload/remove processing through existing upload storage in [VisualIdentityImageService.cs](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Services/VisualIdentityImageService.cs).
Updated Character and Story Asset list/detail/edit views with thumbnails, initials fallback, upload, replace, and remove controls.
Added styling in [site.css](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/wwwroot/css/site.css) and refreshed site.min.css.
Database
Added new migration [079_VisualIdentityCharacterAssetImages.sql](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Sql/079_VisualIdentityCharacterAssetImages.sql).
Adds nullable ImagePath and ThumbnailPath to Characters and StoryAssets.
Applied locally and confirmed the columns exist.
Stored Procedures
Updated active procedure definitions only:
Character_ListByProject
Character_Get
Character_Save
Character_UpdateImage
StoryAsset_ListByProject
StoryAsset_Get
StoryAsset_Save
StoryAsset_UpdateImage
Changed:
[Edit.cshtml (line 29)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Views/FloorPlans/Edit.cshtml:29): added Sliding Door, French Door, and Ladder marker mappings/SVGs.
[Edit.cshtml (line 1729)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Views/FloorPlans/Edit.cshtml:1729): Ladder To Location filtering now lists placed locations on floors above, sorted by level/floor/name with clean labels like First Floor > East Hallway 1st.
[Edit.cshtml (line 2072)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Views/FloorPlans/Edit.cshtml:2072): Ladder renders inside the From Location using the existing position system.
[CoreServices.cs (line 7966)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Services/CoreServices.cs:7966): server validation now treats Ladder as a vertical upward transition, without stairs reciprocity.
[CoreModels.cs (line 1243)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/Models/CoreModels.cs:1243): normalisation accepts Ladders.
[site.css (line 4902)](C:/Source/PlotLine/PlotLine/wwwroot/css/site.css:4902) and minified CSS: added light/dark styling for the new marker types.
No database changes. No new tables. No Features, architecture, AJAX, or secret/hidden room logic changes.
