research(standalone): shape world -- 64 m full detail in 0.96 s, whole view in 2.27 s, cold; look not there

Owner's rooms, tunnels, passages, landings and strate shells compiled as shapes, solved along
lattice lines with packed signs; rock detail only in a band sized by its supremum; far levels from
the same shapes; multithreaded meshing. 8 workers, BelowNormal, affinity 0xFF00, zero cache hits:
  full detail (960 tiles): 669 ms shapes + 290 ms mesh = 0.959 s   (was 20.3 s)
  full clipmap (6,498 tiles): 870 ms + 1.398 s = 2.268 s           (was 170.6 s)
Checks: 5,642 passage centreline samples open; smoothed and per-voxel-noise variants both fail the
detail audit; same hash across runs and 1 vs 6 workers. V toggles owner field / shape world.
Look: 6-12% of lattice signs changed; captures show flat planes without detail (passage floor, a
wall band), telescoping tunnel segments, blocky stair patches. Not accepted as the owner's world yet.

+# Owner shape world: standalone results
+
+The standalone path now builds the owner world from its room, tunnel, passage,
+landing, floor, ceiling, and seal shapes. It does not read or write the mesh
+cache. The active voxel lattice remains 25 cm; rock detail is evaluated only in
+the surface band. `V` switches between the current owner density and the shape
+world in the viewer.
+
+## Method
+
+- `Source/StandaloneShapeWorld.h` compiles the known shapes into column
+  intervals, combines their signs in packed words, and locates surface cells
+  with bit operations. Round and winding tunnels use line-solved/approximated
+  shape primitives; protected passage air is applied after solid overlays.
+- The coherent rock detail has a proven maximum amplitude of 3.20 voxels and a
+  4-voxel evaluation band. Detail outside that band cannot change the base
+  sign. The far field is compiled from parent shapes and meshed coarsely.
+- Existing marching-cubes meshing runs on worker threads. Benchmark runs use
+  `--force-generate`; shape-world mode also bypasses cache loading. The reports
+  below show zero cache hits.
+- Builds are serial (no `/MP` flag). The build host sets BelowNormal priority
+  and affinity `0xFF00`; launched viewers use BelowNormal and `0xFF00` too.
+
+## Cold generation timings
+
+Each timing is shape compilation plus uncached mesh generation. The full-detail
+area is the 64 m cube with 960 LOD0–1 tiles. The full clipmap contains 6,498
+tiles through LOD6. Hashing is off for these timing runs.
+
+| Cold job | Shape stage | Mesh generation wall | Total | Result |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Full detail, 8 workers | 668.566 ms | 290 ms | **0.959 s** | 960/960 tiles; cache hits 0 |
+| Full clipmap, 8 workers | 870.418 ms, including far parents | 1.398 s | **2.268 s** | 6,498/6,498 tiles; cache hits 0 |
+
+Full-detail stage breakdown: local shapes 53.892 ms, intervals/signs 196.326
+ms, surface band 417.952 ms. Full-clipmap breakdown: local shapes 53.281 ms,
+intervals/signs 195.162 ms, surface band 424.921 ms, far parents 196.578 ms.
+The measured full-detail total is close to the 1 s limit; the full clipmap has
+more margin under 5 s.
+
+Logs: `final/full_detail_cold_w8_final.stdout.log` and
+`final/full_clipmap_cold_w8_final.stdout.log`.
+
+## Similarity and captures
+
+The viewer captures use explicit positions and yaws. Owner and shape images are
+paired at the same camera settings. The far owner image is the existing cold
+baseline capture at the default start view; its matching shape capture was
+made at the same position and yaw.
+
+| View | Owner capture | Shape capture |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Chamber, yaw 0° | `final/chamber_fixed_owner.png` | `final/chamber_fixed_shape.png` |
+| Tunnel, yaw 90° | `final/tunnel_fixed_owner.png` | `final/tunnel_fixed_shape.png` |
+| Passage, yaw 63° | `final/passage_fixed_owner.png` | `final/passage_fixed_shape.png` |
+| Far view, yaw 0° | `final/far_owner.png` | `final/far_fixed_shape.png` |
+
+Comparison results:
+
+| View/LOD | Tiles | Lattice samples | Changed signs | Share changed | Mean / max surface distance* | Unmatched surface samples |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Chamber, LOD0–1 | 960 | 35,103,600 | 4,165,142 | 11.8653% | 1.1763 m / 6.5210 m | 69,626 |
+| Tunnel, LOD0–1 | 960 | 35,103,600 | 4,165,142 | 11.8653% | 1.1763 m / 6.5210 m | 69,626 |
+| Passage, LOD0–1 | 960 | 37,240,000 | 2,352,343 | 6.3167% | 1.0102 m / 6.7059 m | 35,520 |
+| Far view, outer LOD6 | 4,770 | 9,470,835 | 856,305 | 9.0415% | 3.5551 m / 5.7456 m | 475,722 |
+
+\* Surface distance samples every fourth mesh vertex. The mean and maximum
+include matched samples only; unmatched samples are listed separately. The
+distance check searches neighboring 1 m buckets, so treat it as a sampled
+comparison rather than a continuous Hausdorff distance. Chamber and tunnel
+share the same camera position and tile set; only yaw differs.
+
+The captures show that the shape world retains broad passage structure, but
+they also show a visible change in chamber profiles and rock relief. In
+particular, this does not reproduce the painterly cave reference image. The
+sign shares and sampled distances quantify that gap; the current result should
+be treated as a fast, coherent alternate world rather than a visual match.
+
+## Detail, walkability, and determinism
+
+The final coherent detail audit reports `supremum=3.20 vox`, `band=4`, 476,494
+surface sign flips, adjacent correlation 0.9899, and both detail checks PASS.
+Two deliberately bad variants were also run:
+
+| Variant | Surface-detail check | Spatial-scale check | Process result |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Coherent detail | PASS | PASS | exit 0 |
+| Smoothed detail | **FAIL** | PASS | exit 7, expected |
+| Per-voxel noise | PASS | **FAIL** | exit 7, expected |
+
+The route audit samples packed lattice signs along every exported passage
+centerline: **5,642/5,642 samples remain open**, with native landing floors
+retained. This is a centerline/sign check, not a character-capsule collision
+simulation.
+
+Three cold hash runs at the passage camera agree across two 6-worker runs and
+one 1-worker run:
+
+| Hash | 6 workers, run A | 6 workers, run B | 1 worker |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Full detail | `0x88e5818a444c1ab3` | `0x88e5818a444c1ab3` | `0x88e5818a444c1ab3` |
+| LOD0 | `0x3d37fc984f0ee55b` | `0x3d37fc984f0ee55b` | `0x3d37fc984f0ee55b` |
+| LOD1 | `0xc314a1f6457f8a31` | `0xc314a1f6457f8a31` | `0xc314a1f6457f8a31` |
+
+This confirms repeatability and worker-count independence on this machine; a
+second hardware/architecture was not available for a cross-machine hash run.
+
+## Viewer and evidence files
+
+Press `V` in the standalone viewer to swap owner density and shape intervals;
+the viewer rebuilds the resident field. The control is handled in
+`Source/StandaloneViewer.cpp` near the keyboard input handler.
+
+The logs under `final/` include the cold timings, audits, comparisons, captures,
+and determinism runs. In particular:
+
+- `audit_coherent_final.stdout.log`, `audit_smooth_bad_final.stdout.log`,
+  `audit_per_voxel_bad_final.stdout.log`
+- `chamber_compare_final.stdout.log`, `tunnel_compare_final.stdout.log`,
+  `passage_compare_landingbox.stdout.log`, `far_compare_lod6.stdout.log`
+- `determinism_final_w6_a.stdout.log`, `determinism_final_w6_b.stdout.log`,
+  `determinism_final_w1.stdout.log`
+
+The LOD6 similarity command took 101.3 s because it also sampled nearest-surface
+distances over the entire outer tile set. That is comparison-analysis time, not
+world-generation time.
+
+## Failed and abandoned attempts
+
+- The original build script could print success after failing to leave an
+  executable. `Build.ps1` now invokes `cl.exe` directly, propagates its exit
+  code, and checks the output file. A launcher attempt before that correction
+  failed with Windows `CreateProcess error 2` because the executable was
+  absent.
+- The first checked compile then found an `FIntVector` to `FVector` conversion
+  error in the optional tile-sort path. The type was corrected; the final
+  serial build succeeded. Visual Studio setup still emits a `vswhere.exe`-not-
+  recognized diagnostic, but `cl.exe` runs and produces the binary.
+- An earlier smooth-detail audit passed before its gate was tightened. The
+  final smooth variant now exits 7 on the surface-detail check, as shown above.
+- A fresh owner far-view capture was stopped after 55 s because the existing
+  uncached owner clipmap run takes about 183 s. The existing owner capture was
+  reused; the shape far capture completed in 2.65 s. No viewer started by
+  someone else was closed.
+
+No commit, push, or stash was made.
