Confirmed and fixed — and thank you for re-testing #274 rather than assuming it was done.
The stable map, the milk jugs, the door and Tangyoon's ride in all shipped. The four cows did not. They had been registered as living in that room, but the actual NPC data files for them were never generated, so the game had a list of four residents and no description of any of them — nothing to place, nothing to draw.
Root cause was a stale path in the generator that writes those files: it pointed at a directory that no longer exists after a reorganisation, so it ran, reported success, and wrote its output into nowhere. That class of silent failure is why this project has a checker for stale reference paths; this generator predated it.
Both Mother Milk Cows and both Baby Milk Cows are in now, with their artwork confirmed loading. The puzzle should work as described in #274: alternate between the two mothers, avoid the babies, and the door refuses to let you out with a part-full jug.
On the dev branch, live at the next publish.
