wip(standalone): owner LOD0 defects -- skirt curtains clipped, exact edge roots; interrupted (OpenAI capacity)

Not verified as a whole. In the tree when Luna's session ended ("model at capacity"): - fins: LOD seam skirts could hang into tunnel air; skirt triangles are now clipped against the solid half-space and carry a per-face mask so a host can hide skirts between same-LOD neighbours. - choppy LOD0 stairs: marching cubes' linear edge interpolation misplaced vertices where the relief bends within one cell; edge crossings corrected with the exact field (82 patches, midpoint-edge errors 18,818 -> 3,288); normal halo now ignores the +-4.125 fallback samples. - an explicit unclamped Core distance query for audits.
