wip(assembler): round L37 -- FI mouth carve-fade fix, no raised bridge (style 0); research R1

The passage mouth fade multiplied the signed carve distance by zero, which turned native rock into an
open surface (the reason earlier rounds stamped walk pads at mouths); it now blends between the
uncarved field and the full signed carve. The FI style-0 route followed a lifted grade envelope over
the crater (the "bridge"); it now runs on the rim and follows the native surface. New built-shape and
crease audits with thresholds frozen before the fix (L36 and box controls fail). 24/24 passage rows,
30/30 determinism, 16/16 invariants, 18/18 interface/ring. Unreal: one recipe setter (uncompiled).
Research R1 (read-only, web): ranked proposals for natural walkable mouths, floor-limited carve first.
