AssetMeta

Remarks

The pattern is Unity's, unchanged and adopted deliberately (ADR-005): one sidecar per imported file, one per folder, committed next to the asset, and the GUID is the identity — generated on first import, never regenerated, path-independent, so moving or renaming a file breaks no reference anywhere. The schema inside is Vixen's.

Key order here is the order it is written in, and the envelope — Guid, MetaVersion, Importer — comes first on purpose. That is what lets the index rebuild read three lines of a file and stop; see MetaScanner.

Fields and properties (6)

• public AssetId Guid

  The identity. Assigned once, never rewritten.

• public int MetaVersion

  Which version of this envelope schema the file was written against.

• public IImportSettings? Importer

  Which importer made it, and how it was configured.

• public AddressableInfo? Addressable

  Where it appears in a shipped build, if it does.

• public SubAssetEntry[] SubAssets

  What is inside it.

• public Dictionary<string, string> Extensions

  User and plugin metadata, keyed by name — the typed replacement for Unity's untyped userData string.
