wip(assembler): round S2 (Sol) -- shared per-tile feature queries for every Core family; island placement 30x faster

Island-only worker context replaced by a shared worker-local candidate domain
(WorldAssemblyFeatureTileListV1 / ScopedWorldAssemblyFeatureQueriesV1) serving
SurfaceWorld, FloatingIslands and far-shell queries; a per-domain cost hint keeps the
full scan on small plans. Content placement prepares the same queries and skips proven
air: owner island cell p95 7.07 -> 0.24 ms; populated fixture 572 exact placements,
3.27 s -> 29 ms. Full/candidate hashes equal with dropped-feature controls on both
families; S1 default W1/W8/W16 hashes reproduced; Core-off and M2 fixtures pass.
Default contract for future families in ARCHITECTURE 8.23. Run on gpt-6.1-sol medium.

+### 8.23 Shared assembler query domains — World Assembler S2 / M3 Round 6
+
+Meshing, far-shell field queries and placement share `ScopedWorldAssemblyFeatureQueriesV1`.
+Each family prepares conservative candidates for an inclusive domain, including normal halos.
+Scopes borrow immutable recipe/plan pointers from the owning world/snapshot, live on the worker,
+restore the previous scope when nested, and fall back to full evaluation outside their domain.
+Queues, generation epochs, edit locks, streaming policy and canonical field arithmetic are unchanged.
+`candidateEvaluationUseful` is a cost hint resolved once per domain: the measured one-feature
+SurfaceWorld and four-island plans prefer the full evaluator. Larger plans use candidates. Validation
+can force candidates to prove the bounds even for a small plan; this never changes recipe identity.
+
+The default family contract for caves, shafts, pits, passages and rivers is:
+
+1. Declare conservative inclusive influence bounds, including blend, displacement and warp.
+   Unknown influence retains the feature. Keep canonical operation order.
+2. If remote features can determine exact positive density, provide sound value-side certificates
+   or evaluate them. Geometric AABBs alone cannot preserve arbitrary density values; island root
+   ellipsoids retain S1's slope and smooth-min certificate. Optional union-group data belongs to the
+   family proof, not to the engine's notion of Euclidean distance.
+3. Families with a proven air base may declare conservative solid-support bounds. The shared column
+   union skips only proven air; solid-base caves and unknown support retain their ordinary march.
+   Preserve the original sampling phase, crossing count, bisection and final interpolation.
+4. Audit full-scan versus candidates, halos and outside-domain fallback with equal hashes and a
+   deliberately removed needed feature before enabling a new proof.
+
+SurfaceWorld's biome-site search remains its bounded local lattice. Cached XY column evaluation
+uses finite feature candidates; types 1/3 affect every Z, while types 2/4 are neutral outside their
+validated boxes. Shelf source-column queries outside the scope use the full column evaluator.
+Core meshing prepares both native families, including cross-strate tiles. FarShells remains derived
+repair geometry with its existing connector/stratum filtering; its canonical field calls benefit
+from the same scope wherever their samples lie inside the domain.
+
+Content snapshots declare support bounds once. Decoration cells and landmark columns prepare the
+shared domain with a gradient halo, and retain exact crossings. Core-off retains its legacy march.
+Validation compares complete placement transforms and canonical anchor residuals, and applies then
+clears an isolated populated HISM fixture under BuildHost null RHI. These CPU costs do not measure
+rendering or GPU upload. See the Round 6 report for results and limits.

+## World assembler S2 / M3 Round 6 — 2026-10-18
+
+The shared engine now owns a family-neutral, worker-local feature-query scope. I removed the
+island-only context from ShapeWorld; SurfaceWorld finite features, island groups, meshing, far-shell
+field calls, decoration cells and landmark columns use the same domain/identity/halo contract.
+S1's root-aware positive-density bounds and ordered connector composition are preserved.
+
+The measurements matter here: the staged SurfaceWorld has one finite shelf, and the staged island
+plan has four islands. Forced candidate bookkeeping gave no useful small-plan gain and regressed
+the island tile timings by 7–13%. I added a shared cost hint, resolved once per domain, so these
+small plans keep their full evaluator. Richer plans still use candidates. With the actual staged
+owner template expanded to 256 islands, forced-list p95 was 110.570 -> 7.3619 ms (about 15x), with
+identical hashes and a detected dropped-feature control. The composed surface stress (64 shelves,
+one XY height writer and one cap writer) was 0.7084 -> 0.4078 ms, again exact with its control caught.
+The S1 57x stress number used a different Round 3 template, so I do not compare those as a regression.
+
+The placement cost came from marching almost the entire strate and using a full plan at every
+step. Family-declared solid-support bounds now feed a shared column range query, alongside the
+same feature scopes. We skip only certified air and keep the old march phase, bisection,
+interpolation and transforms. Owner-palette p95 fell 7.0706 -> 0.2385 ms, with 58.84 density calls
+per cell versus S1's 7,763.38. Its sampled authored palette still places zero objects; I keep that
+limitation explicit rather than claiming those timings include spawning trees.
+
+A separate populated fixture produced 572 placements across 14 cells. All 572 full/candidate
+transforms match exactly, all canonical anchor checks pass, and the largest density residual is
+0.035156 Core voxel units. The 64-cell active batch, including merge and real HISM application,
+was 3271.147 -> 29.105 ms. All 572 instances were applied and then cleared. This is synchronous
+CPU work under null RHI; it excludes rendering, GPU upload, async tree completion and owner tree
+Blueprint logic. One run failed the new count assertion because normal region application clears
+live landmark footprints. I isolated the validation fixture from those footprints; normal content
+keeps them enabled. The corrected run passes.
+
+BuildHost SurfaceWorld passed its full actor/streaming/collision/edit checks and W1/W8/W16 with
+S1's default 25 cm hashes. The final island actor also keeps S1's entire W1/W8/W16 matrix. The final
+focused surface replay checks LOD0/1/7/8 full-versus-default tile hashes after the cost hint. M2 V1/V2
+fixture repeats, borders, MC identity and all 125 doorway phases pass. A separate Core-off run
+proves unchanged legacy density and 12.5 cm scale. All builds/link audits passed. No timeout,
+0xC0000142 or new UECC folder occurred. The failed HISM fixture run exited normally with test status 1.
+
+My next structural suggestion is an immutable per-strate family-provider table, carrying declared
+bounds, cost hints, value certificates and optional support/surface queries. It would avoid repeating
+concrete family enumeration and rebuilding metadata in each consumer. I have not rebuilt that
+boundary this round; the report lists the allocation, many-strate, hash and stale-provider evidence
+needed first. Preserve the existing bounded biome lattice and cave interval machinery meanwhile.
+
+New source files are `Round6/SharedFeatureListAudit.cpp` and `Round6/BuildSharedFeatureListAudit.ps1`
+under WorldAssemblerM3. The report lists every modified source, likely compile spots, all failed and
+replayed runs, timing limitations and the plain-words owner note. CODEMAP section 3 and ARCHITECTURE
+section 8.23 are updated. No owner project/editor was opened, closed or built. No .uasset was edited,
+and no link, commit, push or stash was created.

+# World assembler S2 / M3 Round 6
+
+Date: 2026-10-18. Author: Sol. Base: `d6e6942`, branch `assembler/world`. No commit, push or stash.
+
+## Shared engine change
+
+The island-only worker context has been removed from `ShapeWorldInternal.h`.
+`WorldAssemblyFeatureTileListV1` and `ScopedWorldAssemblyFeatureQueriesV1` now carry a shared,
+worker-local candidate domain, keyed by immutable recipe/plan identity. Nested scopes restore their
+predecessor; samples outside the prepared domain use the full evaluator. Tile preparation includes
+the mesher's normal halo and prepares both existing native families. Derived far-shell field calls
+stay in that scope too. The old island payload names remain aliases so S1 research tools still build.
+
+Families retain their mathematics: SurfaceWorld declares XY influence for column writers and finite
+no-op boxes for volumetric exceptions; islands retain S1's root-aware positive-density certificate
+and ordered island/connector groups. The engine never assumes that density magnitude is Euclidean
+distance. Unknown operations stay active. A shared `candidateEvaluationUseful` cost hint is resolved
+once per domain. The measured one-feature SurfaceWorld and four-island plans prefer the full scan;
+larger plans retain culling. Audits force candidates on small plans to prove their bounds too. No density arithmetic, recipe serialization/version,
+voxel-size resolution, queue, Epoch, edit lock or streaming policy was changed.
+
+The default contract for future caves, shafts, pits, passages and rivers is documented in
+ARCHITECTURE §8.23. Declare conservative bounds and any value-side proof needed to preserve exact
+positive values. Preserve operation order; unknown proofs evaluate normally. An air-base family can
+also declare conservative solid support, allowing the shared column union to shorten a search.
+Solid-base caves cannot use that air proof. Every new proof needs equal full/candidate hashes and a
+dropped-needed-feature control.
+
+Surface biome-site selection already searches a fixed local lattice and is cached by XY. It is not
+a global feature scan. We preserve that machinery and target its finite feature loops. Existing
+cave extraction keeps its existing line/spatial bins; this round makes no new cave performance claim.
+FarShells remains derived repair geometry with existing connector/stratum candidate filtering, rather
+than becoming another canonical generator. Its field queries inherit the shared scope.
+
+## Placement cause and correction
+
+Native island placement previously scanned the entire owner strate, calling a full-plan evaluator
+at each step. The owner workload used about 7,763 density queries per cell in S1. Its sampling cell
+was mostly air, so optimizing only the top-anchor helper did not remove the dominant work.
+
+Snapshots now declare conservative support bounds once. Decoration cells and landmark columns
+prepare the same shared feature queries as meshing. A shared support-union query skips proven air,
+including entirely empty columns. The march retains its original lattice phase, crossing budget,
+four bisections, interpolation, normals and placement hashes. No alternate approximate top surface
+was introduced. Companion queries get their own nested domain when needed.
+
+Validation preserves the owner's palette and reports it separately from a deliberately populated
+fixture. That fixture uses dense deterministic floor placements, both water classifications, the
+resolved biome tags, and a staged decoration mesh (engine cube fallback if none is available).
+It checks exact full/candidate transforms and canonical island density residuals, then merges and
+applies real HISM regions and clears them immediately. CPU totals include cell preparation, merge
+and region application; the identical application/merge cost is shared by both comparison totals.
+The isolated HISM fixture bypasses live landmark footprints, which otherwise suppress its instances.
+Normal region application keeps those footprints enabled. Null RHI does not measure GPU upload,
+rendering, a rendered frame, or asynchronous cluster-tree completion. Existing native content
+snapshots still describe the planned base field; this round does not add edit-aware reanchoring.
+
+## Measurements and proof
+
+The field audit replays the plans exported from BuildHost's staged owner route. These are the
+same transient owner-height fixtures described in Round 4: the saved settings point to `DA_Strate4`,
+while the logged SurfaceWorld layout is reconstructed from `DA_Strate1` without saving an asset.
+No Season is assigned in these copies. The island plan has 4 islands and 3 connectors; the surface
+plan has one finite type-4 shelf. The stress cases extend those plans to 256 islands/240 connectors
+and 64 surface shelves plus one XY height writer and one XY cap writer. They do not change any production recipe.
+
+### Forced candidate proof and cost
+
+Each island row samples 64 tiles / 64,000 points, including the normal halo. Each surface row
+samples 64 tiles / 46,656 points and hashes density, ground, cap and biome ID (186,624 values).
+Surface timings start both paths with cold column caches by changing only the local validation
+cache epoch. Final timing replay ran without an overlapping build or Unreal process.
+
+| Family / plan | Full-scan p95 ms | Forced-candidate p95 ms | List build p95 ms | Full and candidate hash | Negative control |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---|
+| Islands, staged owner | 0.9803 | 1.0194 | 0.0012 | `cb94db3ca317d001` | detected |
+| Islands, 256 stress | 110.570 | 7.3619 | 0.0803 | `d83bac7778f3d62a` | detected |
+| Surface, staged owner | 0.4748 | 0.4559 | 0.0003 | `4207efd4ac869108` | detected |
+| Surface, 64 shelves + height/cap writers | 0.7084 | 0.4078 | 0.0011 | `f1c6ea123284cc38` | detected |
+
+Every row has zero mismatches. Each control removes a needed feature; the island control removes
+its group certificate too. The shared-scope audit also checks identity/domain fallback, nested empty
+scope restoration, scope teardown and the full-scan cost hint.
+
+The owner island point audit offers no useful culling gain. Stress p95 improves about **15×**;
+3,362 stress lists cost 216.615 ms in total (108 owner lists cost 0.0766 ms). The stress template comes
+from the actual staged owner plan, whereas S1's standalone audit used Round 3's manifest; its 57×
+figure is not an apples-to-apples regression comparison.
+
+Surface's single feature has no material point-query gain. Its column computation alone is about
+0.368 ms of the 0.475 ms p95, and the existing bounded biome/cap path stays intact. The stress case
+reduces p95 by about 42% while column cost stays similar (0.3699/0.3552 ms). There is no reason to
+force a global biome/cap feature list into this owner plan.
+
+Warmed BuildHost tile timings initially exposed a 7–13% island regression from forcing group
+bookkeeping on four islands. That led to the shared cost hint. The final default path keeps its small-plan timing:
+
+| Staged plan | LOD | Full tile p95 ms | Default shared-engine p95 ms | Full / shared shell p95 ms |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| Islands | 0 | 94.984 | 95.094 | 0.0002 / 0.0003 |
+| Islands | 1 | 87.280 | 87.577 | 0.0005 / 0.0003 |
+| Islands | 7 | 20.442 | 20.409 | 16.918 / 16.882 |
+| Islands | 8 | 73.038 | 72.923 | 69.930 / 69.844 |
+| Surface | 0 | 11.238 | 11.178 | 0.0001 / 0.0001 |
+| Surface | 1 | 7.346 | 7.354 | 0.0001 / 0.0001 |
+| Surface | 7 | 32.739 | 32.381 | 26.378 / 26.021 |
+| Surface | 8 | 168.545 | 168.063 | 135.960 / 136.310 |
+
+Each row measures eight owner clipmap keys after warming both routes, including list preparation,
+meshing and density hashes. All four output hashes match on every paired key. This is a small,
+hash-capture workload, not a rendered-frame percentile. The far-shell stage excludes LOD8 cap
+refinement. There is no measured reason to add another shell-specific feature index for these
+small owner plans; larger canonical fields inherit their family culling through the shared scope.
+
+### Island placement and active populated cost
+
+| Workload | Full scan | Shared engine | Result |
+|---|---:|---:|---|
+| Owner palette, cell p95 | 7.0706 ms | 0.2385 ms | about 29.6× faster |
+| Owner palette, 64-cell preparation | 412.960 ms | 3.840 ms | same zero authored placements |
+| Populated fixture, populated-cell p95 | 53.9875 ms | 2.1501 ms | 14 populated cells / 572 placements |
+| Populated fixture, all 64 cells | 3270.478 ms | 28.436 ms | exact transforms match |
+| Merge / real HISM apply | 0.0623 / 0.6068 ms | same products/cost | 572 applied instances |
+| Populated active batch CPU total | 3271.147 ms | 29.105 ms | about 112× faster |
+
+Candidate density calls are 58.84 per authored cell, versus S1's 7,763.38 for the same owner plan.
+Legacy remains 193.25 calls/cell and 0.2855 ms p95. Stationary manager update p95 is 0.0005 ms;
+that idle number is separate from the active batch totals above.
+
+All 572 populated transforms match their full-scan counterparts exactly. All 572 canonical island
+anchor checks pass; maximum density residual is 0.035156 Core voxel density units. The existing
+terrain/content tests pass on both island and connector: island height difference is 0.373 cm,
+connector difference 0.096 cm. Capsule contacts, Blueprint carve/fill, water and atmosphere pass.
+No approximate anchor shortcut is used.
+
+The six-entry authored palette still produces zero placements in these 64 cells. The populated
+fixture is explicit synthetic coverage; it does not claim the cost of the owner's tree Blueprint
+logic or rendered foliage. Active totals sum worker preparation and synchronous merge/application
+calls over the whole batch, not one frame. Footprint suppression is disabled only for the isolated
+fixture, which is immediately cleared. Async HISM tree completion and rendering are not included.
+The earlier SurfaceWorld populated diagnostic produced 8,192 synthetic transforms with exact
+full/candidate agreement, but had no mesh application in that build and warm-cache ordering;
+its speed figures are not used as a SurfaceWorld improvement claim.
+
+### Default identity
+
+No recipe version was bumped: all changes select exact evaluators or skip certified air.
+The full SurfaceWorld actor run reproduced S1's W1/W8/W16 matrix:
+`0cd2a1a4152ee4aa / 17775c835711e5a3 / a27224958fc27d7b / 3821fea90b134ce4`
+(density / mesh / payload / topology). Island assembly/recipe/plan remain
+`9c372e7bfb5b8310 / 5e0370d9f95f1c15 / dbbda4932378047a`.
+The final-source island W1/W8/W16 matrix is also exactly S1:
+`4dcfb37585d7d986 / 725a18374c5623de / fb345d8cb319d18b / 76f2846be8efb5f4`.
+
+The full SurfaceWorld actor pass precedes the final cost hint; the final-source focused replay
+checks its LOD0/1/7/8 full-versus-default hashes after that selection-only change. Core-off's separate
+final run proves unchanged legacy density at three probes and 12.5 cm. M2 V1/V2 five-fixture repeats,
+same-LOD borders, V2 MC identity and 125 doorway phases all pass. Existing doorway contour
+mismatch remains 22.844 cm in that fixture audit; this round does not claim a new seam solution.
+
+### Run ledger and limits
+
+| Run | Result / limit |
+|---|---|
+| Standalone Core library builds (four iterations) | all first-attempt passes; final link-safety audit checks 220,200 symbol lines |
+| BuildHost UBT/UHT builds (six iterations) | all first-attempt passes; latest 62.03 s; 18 Core shims, link-safety 95,738 symbol lines; five staged asset hashes verified |
+| Preliminary island actor | pass, about 3m57s, 3.19 GiB peak; canonical hashes and 572 anchor checks |
+| Full SurfaceWorld actor | pass, about 12m15s, 3.58 GiB peak; streaming, collisions, motion, edits, geometry/anchors, W1/W8/W16 |
+| Island actor with new HISM fixture | exit 1, about 4m14s; landmark footprint suppression hit the fixture count assertion; field/worker/anchor gates passed |
+| Final island actor, cost hint and isolated HISM fixture | pass, about 3m52s, 3.03 GiB peak; W1/W8/W16, 572 exact anchors and applied instances |
+| Final focused SurfaceWorld tile replay | pass, about 21s, 2.70 GiB peak; 32 paired LOD0/1/7/8 keys, all hashes equal |
+| Final M2 V1/V2 fixtures | pass, about 17s, 2.34 GiB peak; repeats, borders, MC identity, 125 doorway phases |
+| Final Core-off | pass, about 14s, 2.14 GiB peak; legacy density and scale unchanged |
+| Final composed standalone audit | pass, 7.87s, about 64 MiB peak; all four full/candidate rows exact and controls detected |
+
+Build iterations cover initial integration, added diagnostics, active fixture application, warmed
+measurements, duplicate-validation removal, and the cost-hint/fixture fix. Their logs are the six
+`results/host_build*.log` files and four `results/core_build*.log` files. The standalone audit was
+replayed as those diagnostics were refined; the final composed stress also exercises XY height/cap
+writers at unrelated Z values. Every replay passed its field/control assertions.
+
+ One actor run failed its new populated-HISM count
+assertion after passing field/worker/anchor gates: normal `ApplyRegion` also clears live landmark
+footprints. The fixture now explicitly isolates those footprints; normal application defaults to
+keeping them enabled. The failed log is `results/islands_hism_fixture_failed.log` (exit 1, no crash).
+
+Preliminary surface tile timings used a cold full path followed by a warm candidate path. Those
+numbers are discarded; the final focused replay warms both paths. The first standalone audit
+also overlapped compilation; it passed functional controls, but its timings are discarded. Idle
+replays and the final-source replay are all recorded in `results/shared_audit_ledger.txt`.
+An audit iteration removed duplicate plan validation from scoped island samples. All standalone
+field audits passed; `vswhere.exe` was not found by the installed VC setup script, but CL compiled
+and the audit ran successfully. A documentation-edit attempt failed on Python's default Windows
+encoding; it changed no files and was corrected with UTF-8/apply_patch.
+
+The first preliminary island launch used the existing launcher; I applied 12-CPU affinity during
+that run, then added `-corelimit=12` and 12-CPU affinity to the launcher for subsequent runs. Builds
+used at most eight UBT actions, or eight UBT plus four standalone compiler actions. W16 remains a
+logical determinism partition under the 12-CPU execution cap. Each Unreal launch checks 4 GiB free
+RAM and refuses another Unreal process. Every process is guarded at 8 GiB and 900 seconds.
+No viewer or GPU capture was launched. No run exceeded its memory/time guard, no timeout occurred,
+and no run returned `0xC0000142` (so its one-retry rule was never needed).
+
+Crash audit: `Saved/BuildHost/HostProject/Saved/Crashes/` still contains only
+`UECC-Windows-F1A3EFD5469F5DD62E68EBBACAC84376_0000` (2026-09-17). The isolated User crash root
+still contains only `UECC-Windows-7B23387E4235BCFEDE42BC9D637E41CB_0000` (2026-10-08).
+No new UECC folder exists in the host, staged plugin or isolated User crash roots. The final
+commandlets finished with zero errors; known missing staged `/Game/VoxelForge/Blocks/NewDataAsset`
+and certificate-store warnings remain. The failed fixture run logged its explicit test error and
+exited normally.
+
+Evidence: `results/SUMMARY.json`, `results/shared_audit_attempt_1.stdout.log`,
+`results/island_tile_lists.json`, `results/shared_audit_ledger.txt`, `results/surface_full_actor.log`,
+`results/islands_full_actor_final.log`, `results/surface_warmed_final.log`,
+`results/m2_fixtures_final.log` and `results/core_off_final.log`. Owner plans exported under
+BuildHost's isolated User Saved directory are the standalone replay inputs.
+
+No owner project/editor was opened, closed or built, no `.uasset` was edited, and no junction,
+symlink, commit, push or stash was created. All authored writes and build outputs stayed inside
+this plugin's workspace/BuildHost.
+
+
+## My view of the boundary
+
+The next structural improvement should be a prepared immutable family-provider table per strate.
+Today the shared scope is generic, but the world and content snapshot adapters still enumerate the
+two concrete field families, and preparation rebuilds metadata vectors for each query. A provider
+could publish stable feature IDs, bounds, an optional value certificate and optional surface/support
+queries once, while the engine handles consumer domains, ordering, cache lifetime and instrumentation.
+That would also give future cave/rivers placement the same entry point without adding another
+content snapshot class. I have not rebuilt the architecture for that proposal in this round.
+
+Evidence required before doing it: a many-strate preparation profile showing the cost of rebuilding
+bounds/group summaries; separate point-evaluation and list-build allocation counts; equal full versus
+prepared hashes across owner plans, halos and edited epochs; a deliberately stale-provider control;
+and no regression in time to collision-ready terrain or peak memory. Preserve the current bounded
+lattice path for procedural biomes and the current cave interval engine until a measured replacement
+wins. A universal list of shapes would not capture those processes or their proofs.
+
+## Files and compile spots
+
+New source files:
+
+- `Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round6/SharedFeatureListAudit.cpp` — standalone owner/stress audit.
+- `Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round6/BuildSharedFeatureListAudit.ps1` — guarded audit compile/run script.
+
+Modified runtime/Core sources:
+
+- `Standalone/Core/include/VoxelForgeCore/VoxelForgeCore.h`
+- `Standalone/Core/src/WorldAssemblerInternal.h`
+- `Standalone/Core/src/FloatingIslandsInternal.h`
+- `Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h`
+- `Standalone/Core/src/VoxelForgeCore.cpp`
+- `Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelContentManager.cpp`
+- `Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelContentManager.h`
+- `Source/VoxelForgeEditor/Private/VoxelForgeExploreCommandlet.cpp`
+
+Also updated `Tools/TestVoxelForgeCoreWorldHost.ps1`, CODEMAP §3, ARCHITECTURE §8.23 and the dialogue.
+Likely compile spots: the public Core API/export boundary and canonical Core shim; shared scope/TLS
+linkage; `VoxelContentManager.h` parsing and its runtime translation unit; editor commandlet timing
+and fixture code. No new runtime translation unit or manifest shim is required.
+
+## Owner note
+
+Keep Core enabled at the existing 25 cm setting. There is no new generator setting to configure.
+The shared engine now narrows terrain searches for both native families and skips empty space when
+placing island content. Terrain shapes and default hashes are preserved. The populated validation
+fixture measures placement without changing your decoration assets. Ready to build your project
+when you choose; I only build and launch the isolated plugin BuildHost.
