 - **Seam:** **`allow_yaw`** / **`max_yaw_deg`** on the rig; orbit would adjust **`_orbit_yaw_rad`** (no input bound yet). **Presentation** compass uses **`presentation_yaw_deg`** separately from orbit **`yaw`** in state.
-- **Zoom:** single scalar **`follow_distance`** until [NEON-26](https://neon-sprawl.atlassian.net/browse/NEON-26); **`zoom_band_index`** reserved on **`CameraState`**.
+- **Zoom:** **`ZoomBandConfig`** resource (`client/scripts/zoom_band_config.gd`); default **`client/resources/isometric_zoom_bands.tres`** on main rig. Bands are **distance-only** (ascending near→far); **pitch / FOV** unchanged vs NEON-25. Input: **`camera_zoom_in`** / **`camera_zoom_out`** in `client/project.godot` (mouse wheel + `=` / `-` + keypad **+** / **−**). **`follow_distance`** remains **fallback** when config is null or has no bands; state **`zoom_band_index`** is **0** in that case. **`zoom_band_changed`** signal on rig; **TODO(E9.M1)** for throttled `camera_zoom_changed` telemetry.

 ## Acceptance criteria checklist
 
-- [ ] Zoom input only moves between **defined bands** (clamped; no out-of-range index).
-- [ ] At each band, player remains **readably framed** during motion (manual playtest + distances chosen around current NEON-25 baseline).
-- [ ] `CameraState` reflects **active band** and **effective distance**, and still exposes **yaw** unchanged in meaning.
-- [ ] Config lives in **one tunable place** for designers (`ZoomBandConfig` resource referenced by the rig).
