L74's passage bound omitted the 0.21 m wall relief and 0.20 m floor relief, so its whole-tile
proof was unsound in principle (no tested view hit it). Passage support is now bounded per route
segment by four parameter-subinterval boxes using Catmull-Rom derivative extrema, local max
radius and relief padding. Stratum slicing only at LOD0-2 in FI/VS. Legacy sub-tile block
certificates are audit-only (runtime version was slower). TN regression (-80,-20,-3218) kept.
Exact full-grid vs skip hashes on every tile, 4 views, Clang/GCC, W1/W8/W12; control caught;
80-camera sweep 0 violations. Whole view vs c67b200: SW -1.3%, FI -7.6%, TN -2.3%, VS +0.2%.
Compiles in the Linux UE host (VFHostEditor, 27/27 actions).

The compiled-analytic stratum interval now certifies a legacy tile uniform only when it stays
beyond the detail envelope (and smooth-min slack for solid) with no intersecting primitive,
edit, native field, composer candidate, passage or active transition; everything else fails
closed. The stream layer uses the proof for whole-tile skips; legacy sub-tile skips stay off
(two block proofs failed the falsifier in TN).
Falsifier: full-grid reference vs skip-enabled run, identical mesh/payload/topology hashes on
every tile of all four owner views, Clang and GCC, W1/W8/W12; 20-camera sweep per strate,
0 violations; a too-tight control changed 3/184/233/238 tiles and was caught.
Whole view (8 workers): SW 2.61->2.48, FI 7.18->5.05, TN 5.97->4.63, VS 2.70->2.40 s.

The L70 "2x SurfaceWorld GenerateTile in Unreal" was the instrument: the trace enabled
bCaptureVoxelForgeCoreHashesForValidation, which disables the native heightfield-band
shortcut and whole-tile skips (W1 same keys: 9.00 s hash-off vs 28.46 s hash-on). With
hashing off, Unreal and headless match at W8 within 1.2-2.5% (Core 14.42 s vs 14.26 s) on
identical tile keys. LOD0 p95 tail = real cost of non-empty passage tiles near the spawn mouth
(p50/p95 18.8/105 ms); most LOD0 tiles are empty.
verify.py reads its baselines from Standalone/Tools/verify/baselines/ instead of untracked
Saved/Linux. The 11 .vfmesh control meshes (~78 MB) are not committed yet (to be stored
compressed). Fast tier green.

- Export commandlet writes the live Core adapter's world_assembly + resolved layout pair;
the headless owner path imports that pair (manifest/layout equal, layout_chunk_width_q
validated). owner_world.json re-exported from the owner's staged assets on the Linux host.
- Adapter SW route: Core clearance/radius floors, 0.5 m support search, outward-facing
tie-break; passage mouth/mid radius floors match Core (36/24 owner voxels).
- FI in Unreal now uses the legacy (compiled analytic) generator unless a plan is imported:
the auto native-FI plan failed the passage audit on the owner plan (1843 blocked samples,
945 open-air violations). Owner decides whether native FI returns.
- In-engine spawn traces per strate (3 each): SW GenerateTile 42.7 worker-s vs 20.1 headless
for equal tile counts; LOD0 p95 45-169 ms in UE.
- Fast tier green; all three passages pass on the shared plan.

The FI->TN wall beat (4.77 cm at 7.06 m) was the lower-mouth flare: the full mouth radius
was assigned to the penultimate control point, a one-segment radius jump. The shared route
builder now blends to the mouth radius over 12 m with a smoothstep. Wall ripple 1-2:
7.27 -> 1.62 cm. All three passages pass support/blocked/grade/ripple/naturalness; controls

- Shared composer: a passage's restored support is applied after a physically overlapping
later bore, instead of being carved away by it (0-1: 59 -> 0 unsupported).
- Capsule clearance for support restoration is tested against nearby route segments only
(1-2: 3 -> 0, 2-3: 2 -> 0 unsupported).
- L66 index switches replaced by a physical criterion (both mouths inside their strata bands,
neither a SurfaceWorld landing).
- Audit: floor zero-crossing refined by bisection (the 0.2498 m "step" was the gauge);
wall ripple keeps the authored radius, cubic detrend per 32 m window. Controls detected:
L35 ribs, beads, synthetic 0.25 m step, L36 washboard, L23 terrace.
- Result: 0-1 and 2-3 pass all audits; 1-2 fails wall ripple 7.27 cm (limit 3.5) from an
authored-radius beat at 7.06 m. Fast tier was green before the final gauge change and was
not re-run after it.

- Core caps each passage mouth reach to its own strate's usable content band (owner
DA_Strate1 exports ReachMax=5000 owner voxels, which put the SW->FI lower mouth 79.5 m
below FI, inside TN).
- Unreal adapter: SW route search keeps the old 64 m candidates first, then a bounded
single-mouth search with shorter lengths; logs candidate/rejection counts.
- Internal-chain passage floor/support tweaks (only with >2 strates): ripple 1-2 4.78->2.90 cm,
2-3 3.57->0.10 cm. Interfaces still 0/3 walkable (59/3/2 unsupported).
- verify.py: legacy tiers use Standalone/data/regression/owner_world_2strate_l61.json; new
four-strate stage reads its expectations from owner_world.json (currently red on interfaces).
- Unreal trace L14 vs HEAD, same assets (16-chunk FlatPlain): 12.20 vs 12.56 worker-s; no x2.

VoxelHash::Cell/Pair, legacy Cellular3D and the shared Core cellular hash added 0x7FFFFFFF to a signed
int32 before casting to uint32; overflow is undefined, so Clang and GCC placed cave passage 1 differently
(first differing sample at LOD1 tile (0,64,-512)). The bias is now done in unsigned arithmetic, in both the
standalone copy and the Unreal plugin header (Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelCaveMorphology.h). Native
caves, motifs and lattice now stream LOD0-8 with skirts and cross-level transitions. New verify.py
--speed-matrix runs every generator on one asserted-identical view (5 interleaved runs): motifs 1.33,

The demo tunnel's hard floor cap used a vertical Z - floorZ on a sloped Bezier floor, which is not a signed
distance, so marching cubes produced a staircase through the first 7 m (40-51 mm ripple, 82 mm steps). The

L27 added passage support columns, but World::isTileShapeFree only bounded the route and bridge, so tiles
touched by a column could be approved for early native-only generation; depending on scheduling they used
that incomplete field or the compiled one (six LOD0 tiles differed between W1 and W12 at an SW camera near
the arrival mouth). The shape-free proof now includes a conservative envelope for every possible column.
The compiled world is unchanged (the old W1 variant), so no version bump. verify tiers gain a seeded
