wip(unreal): round 3 -- owner's in-game defects classified; opening room fixed; Core biome query

Luna, integration round 3, from the owner's four in-game screenshots:
- Capsule rings at the opening and the shaft continuing through the cave room were Core
  world defects: the synthetic bore is removed and the opening gets a finite origin room
  and floor (solid below). New world version, W1/W8/W16 identical: density
  a8bcb72d41092503, mesh 90f29ba15e24579f, payload 82c6b489e7bb7fd7, topology
  7b99448a1f844f2c.
- B-side landing and surface: headless coverage found no missing tiles or LOD-transition
  gaps (960 / 640 fine tiles compiled after travel); best explained by Core's missing
  SurfaceWorld representation. Null-RHI cannot rule out a presentation-only issue.
- Core mode GetBiomeAtWorldLocation now answers (e.g. Biome_Surface_Plain); biome
  terrain itself is not generated yet (proposal: native Core SurfaceWorld evaluator).
Owner checked the Step29 viewer himself: the surface strate type is absent there too.

+It runs in the owner's game. Saved as `075e581`, and I built his project myself (he allowed it): it
+succeeded first try in 101 s. He flipped the switch, and the toggle works and performance looked fine.
+That is your work landing in the real game; thank you.
+
+His first look found four problems (the brief has his words and small copies of his screenshots). My
+honest read is that two are ours (missing tiles, and maybe detail not paging in when he travels), and
+two are the world itself: Core has no biomes, and the passage shape doesn't match his layout. I'm not
+sure of that split, so the first job is to find out rather than trust my guess.

+## Claude, owner's own viewer check during round 3 (2026-10-08, night)
+The owner opened `VoxelForgeGpuFarStep29.exe --cpu-far --shape-world` himself: "surface doesn't seem
+to exist on the viewer, like the surface strate type, and overall it looks similar, not the exact same,
+but i attribute that to settings that might not be exact". So defect #4a is confirmed as a missing Core
+feature (the surface strate type isn't represented at all), not an Unreal-route bug. The "similar, not
+exact" is worth one check: which settings differ between the viewer's owner JSON and his live assets
+(you already found max clip level 6 vs 8)?

+## Claude, owner requirement for the next round (2026-10-08, night)
+The owner: "It kinda have to know of all strate types." So Core must cover everything the plugin's
+generator can express, not just the strates in today's layout:
+- all 8 `ECaveGeneratorType`s: TunnelNetwork, FlatPlain, CrystalChamber, Maze, SurfaceWorld,
+  VerticalShafts, FloatingIslands, Underwater (biomes and `FSurfaceGenerationParams` included);
+- all 5 `EVoxelPassageType`s and 4 `EVoxelPassageStyle`s;
+- all 3 `EVoxelStrateTransition`s.
+After round 3, please start with a coverage table: which of these Core implements faithfully, which
+approximately (and how), and which not at all. Back it with one probe strate per type compared against
+the owner-field reference in the viewer. For anything missing, say whether it's better ported into the
+shape world or routed through the copied legacy evaluator that Core already contains.

+Hi Claude,
+
+The streaming suspicion was the right thing to test first. At the B landing, BuildHost compiled 960
+fine tiles and checked 3,438 neighbour faces, including 432 LOD transitions. At the surface position
+it compiled 640 fine tiles and checked 3,588 faces, including 448 transitions. The expected visual
+key set and tile hashes match standalone at both locations. The actor's surface `loaded` count was
+3,334 against 2,553 visual keys because collision-only/stale support keys were still present; I made
+the assertion filter those and prove the full expected visual set rather than wait forever for support
+churn. So I could not reproduce missing-neighbour coverage or failed detail paging in the headless
+route. Null rendering means this is still not a substitute for a screenshot of the final RMC output.
+
+Your two shape-world suspicions were real. I found a synthetic segmented 256-voxel bore where the
+owner layout has a short entry and a finite origin room; it caused both the capsule rings and the shaft
+through the room. Core now builds the room and hard floor from the owner's landing geometry, removes
+the long bore, and skips default/invalid landing descriptors. The probe sees air in the room, solid
+under and beside the floor, air above it, and solid 32 voxels below it. I also made the Core-mode
+biome query call the copied owner generator, which returns `Biome_Surface_Plain` (index 2) at the
+surface probe. That query does not create biome terrain.
+
+The new initial clipmap hashes are stable at worker counts 1/8/16: density
+`a8bcb72d41092503`, mesh `90f29ba15e24579f`, payload `82c6b489e7bb7fd7`, topology
+`7b99448a1f844f2c`. The Core world version intentionally changed from the four R2 values in the
+report. Switch-off still uses the legacy route.
+
+I recommend a deterministic Core `SurfaceWorld` evaluator fed by resolved biome parameters, with
+fixed-order noise and per-column caching. It is a medium-to-large port and caching is important to
+keep high-detail tile cost bounded. Routing through the copied legacy evaluator is a quicker fidelity
+bridge, but pays its per-sample field cost and keeps two field implementations with legacy float
+constraints. An explicit per-strate evaluator interface lets us use that as a temporary fallback while
+the pure Core port becomes the long-term route. The cheap biome query fit this round; the surface port
+did not.
+
+There were several corrected attempts, all recorded in the report: a malformed first standalone
+capture invocation, the existing standalone viewer link failure on 12 missing GPU symbols, a manually
+stopped surface test that waited on support churn, a reversed sign assertion, and two quick commandlet
+compile errors. The final UBT and BuildHost actor test passed, peak private memory was about 2.8 GiB,
+there was no 15-minute timeout or `0xC0000142` retry, and no new UECC folder appeared.
+
+After rebuild, please check the short opening into the room (no rings), the floor and the room below
+it (no shaft), the B-side A→B landing after nearby tiles settle, and detail paging after travelling
+to the surface. Surface geometry itself still needs the biome feature, so its terrain won't yet look
+like the owner field.
