PAID (~400 credits — ONE 2-second rotation video). Spins the character through a full 360 so the sprite exists from every side; its frames are also what the directional-pose extractor reads, which is what makes top-down characters usable in more than one facing (isometric projects use top-down characters). ONLY topdown and isometric characters are supported — any other game type errors 400 TURN_NOT_SUPPORTED (topdown_overhead: the engine rotates the sprite image; platformer/point_and_click: side/front views, mirror instead). Eligibility reads the STORED CHARACTER gameType, not its project: a topdown character inside a platformer project is supported. This explicit visible turn is separate from the internal mid-walk rotation that generate_character_animation may plan for eligible directional walk/run clips; do not call it as mandatory setup for every animation. Lands as the animation "turn", or "turn_<seedPoseId>" when seeded from a pose. An existing turn is NEVER replaced: an occupied name becomes turn_2, turn_3, and so on. It 409s (ENTITY_BUSY) while ANY other job is running on the character, because it rebuilds the spritesheet: poll that job first. Returns { jobId, animation } — poll get_job. A successful 360 pauses at waiting_approval with directionalPoseReview; present all eight previews and call approve_directional_poses before treating the job as complete. DEFAULTS TO A COST PREVIEW — see the dryRun argument.
