+# PR_26140_082 Replaced Vector Tools Deprecation Report
+
+## Summary
+- Removed the deprecated `tools/SVG Asset Studio` tool folder and ZIP package.
+- Removed the deprecated `tools/Vector Map Editor` tool folder and ZIP package.
+- Migrated active SVG Asset Studio launch, registry, sample mapping, workspace, and docs references to Object Vector Studio V2.
+- Migrated active Vector Map Editor launch, registry, sample mapping, workspace, and docs references to World Vector Studio V2.
+- Added World Vector Studio V2 to the Workspace Manager V2 launch surface.
+- Removed the duplicate Planned Next Asset Manager V2 card from the tools index.
+
+## Tool Replacement Mapping
+- SVG Asset Studio -> Object Vector Studio V2.
+- Vector Map Editor -> World Vector Studio V2.
+
+## Description Updates
+- Object Vector Studio V2 is described as the tool for building vector assets.
+- World Vector Studio V2 is described as the tool for placing assets, maps, layers, parallax, and scene/world layout.
+
+## Workspace And Launch Wiring
+- `tools/toolRegistry.js` no longer registers `svg-asset-studio` or `vector-map-editor`.
+- `tools/workspace-manager-v2/js/services/WorkspaceManagerV2ContextService.js` now exposes World Vector Studio V2 as a workspace-launchable editor.
+- `tools/workspace-manager-v2/js/controls/ToolTilesControl.js` now describes World Vector Studio V2 with scene/world layout language.
+- `samples/samples.to.tools.json` maps the replaced tool categories to the V2 tools.
+- Active sample launch links now route to Object Vector Studio V2 or World Vector Studio V2 while preserving sample JSON content.
+
+## Intentional Scope Boundaries
+- No schema files were changed.
+- Sample JSON files were not changed. Existing sample preset filenames that include old tool names remain as historical sample data and were not rewritten.
+- Historical/archive documentation references are preserved where they are not active launch, registry, or workspace wiring.
+- Negative tests may reference deleted legacy paths only to verify that the old tools are no longer active launch targets.
+
+## Validation
+- `git diff --check` passed.
+- Targeted JavaScript syntax/import validation for changed active runtime/tool/test files passed.
+- Targeted JSON parse validation for changed registry/mapping/config files passed.
+- Tool registry validation confirmed Object Vector Studio V2 and World Vector Studio V2 are registered, and SVG Asset Studio and Vector Map Editor are not registered.
+- `npm run test:workspace-v2` passed.
+- Tool launch validation confirmed launch definitions and index files exist for:
+  - Object Vector Studio V2
+  - World Vector Studio V2
+  - Asset Manager V2
+  - Workspace Manager V2
+- Legacy tool path validation confirmed the removed tool folders and ZIPs are absent.
+- Active old-path reference validation found only intentional negative-test and historical-doc references.
+- Planned Next validation confirmed there is no duplicate Asset Manager V2 card.
+
+## Full Samples Smoke Test
+- Not run. This PR is limited to replaced tool deprecation and launch/wiring migration; full samples smoke was explicitly out of scope.
