Dad Cap / Trucker Cap / Bucket Hat previews were rendering on ANGLED on-model
lifestyle photos, so a centered front decal was geometrically impossible (the
earlier curve/rotation overlay hacks were compensating for that). Rebased each
hat on a true front-facing Printify view; inpainted the 'YOUR DESIGN(/HERE)'
placeholder off the dad+trucker front panels; used the clean blank front bucket.
Reset overlayBox to a centered front print box (center x=1024=image center) and
removed curve+rotation. Bucket colorway Army->White to match the only
front-facing asset (preview-only; saleEnabled stays false). Proofs in verification/.

Root cause was the base image, not the overlay box: dad/trucker/bucket all used ANGLED on-model lifestyle photos (head tilted, panel foreshortened, bucket near-profile) so a centered front decal was geometrically impossible — hence the earlier curve/rotation hacks. Fix: swapped each base to the OFFICIAL front-facing Printify ghost mockup (blueprint -1 design-placeholder view, true straight-on front), reset overlayBox to the manufacturer-marked centered front print frame (measured from the ghost: box center x≈1024 = image center), and REMOVED curve+rotation (a flat front needs no dome compensation). paintSignatures() contain-fits + centers the signature in the box.
