research: single-plane chamber floor is infeasible at the Surface World landing (L155)

Seed 2 route ground and capsule-foot bounds need gradient_x <= -1024 and >= +1989 Q16 at once (still disjoint with a 0.097 m bore raise). Three fits failed; patch archived; causes 2-3 not attempted.

+## Result
+
+Stopped after three failed fits for cause 1, as instructed. A single planar chamber floor cannot satisfy the seed-2 Surface World route's ground and capsule-foot bounds while joining the current passage floor at the bore. The rejected candidate was removed from production source. The branch remains at HEAD, evaluator v239. Causes 2 and 3 were not attempted; no baseline or version change was made.
+
+## Measured plane conflict
+
+The receiving route runs along +X through the upper chamber. Its route-point Z is the player-center height; the ground bound is route Z − 0.98 m, and the capsule-foot bound is route Z − 0.88 m. The chamber center floor at the bore is `-374.831 m`. With the endpoint fixed to the planned `h(s)` value:
+
+- At route point `x=24.25 m`, the capsule-foot bound requires `gradient_x ≤ -1,024 Q16` (−1.56%).
+- At route point `x=26.75 m`, the ground bound requires `gradient_x ≥ 1,989 Q16` (+3.03%).
+
+The constraints do not overlap. The third fit allowed the bore endpoint and first 10 m of `h(s)` to rise together by up to 99 subvoxels (`0.0967 m`, the remaining capsule-foot clearance). At that limit the same points require `gradient_x ≤ -9,472 Q16` and `gradient_x ≥ 39 Q16`; they still do not overlap.
+
+## Attempts
+
+1. Fit the floor slope above route ground and preserve the bore-center height. The route support audit fell from 5 unsupported samples to 0, but the passage then blocked 481 capsule samples. Plan grade stayed under 15°. Log: [`cause1-seed2.log`](../../../../Saved/Linux/l155/cause1-seed2.log).
+2. Add the capsule-foot upper bound. Strict planning rejected the layout because no gradient fit both bounds with the bore floor fixed. Log: [`cause1-bounded-seed2.log`](../../../../Saved/Linux/l155/cause1-bounded-seed2.log).
+3. Allow a bounded center raise and taper it through the first 10 m of `h(s)`. The route and capsule constraints remained infeasible; planning rejected before producing a layout. Log: [`cause1-between-seed2.log`](../../../../Saved/Linux/l155/cause1-between-seed2.log). The final rejected fit is archived in [`failed-plane-fit.patch`](failed-plane-fit.patch).
+
+## Checks and limits
+
+- Clang 19 candidate builds passed for each compiled planner variant. The first candidate's focused seed-2 audit completed and failed on 481 blocked capsule samples; the second and third failed strict layout planning.
+- `git diff --check` passed after restoring the production source to HEAD. No production or Unreal `Source/` files remain changed.
+- L154 had already measured the HEAD fast-tier failure on the Floating Islands chamber content band. Fast tier was not rerun after the three-fix stop.
+- Not run: causes 2 and 3, full fast tier, either 16-seed sweep, determinism, owner baselines, L80 timing, Linux UE build/start/movement, or after captures.
+
+## Remaining risk
+
+The measured conflict is between a single plane and the receiving route's local height variation across the 7.5 m chamber footprint. Resolving it needs a different floor representation or a change to the receiver route/bore join. The chamber support-audit exemption and Floating Islands content-band failure remain open.
