CoreNamespacePreamble.h applies per-compiler contraction-off pragmas (Clang, MSVC, GCC; unknown
compiler = #error) and a fused-multiply-add self-test that World::compile runs before building.
Clang -ffp-contract=on and GCC's default (fast) now reproduce the L1/Windows hashes (they diverged
in L2); Clang -ffp-contract=fast ignores the pragma and is refused at startup (negative control).
Seed sweep with every cube on real terrain: 48 seeds x 2 recipes x 3 builds x W1/W12, 576 runs,
0 mismatches, 0 empty meshes. Cost +0.5% (2.326 -> 2.337 s, interleaved). World unchanged.
MSVC/UBT not compiled here: Windows to-do list in Linux3/REPORT.md.

Clang -ffp-contract=on/fast and GCC's default (fast) all change the density hash on the L1 view;
contraction off reproduces L1 (= Windows S13) at W1/W12. Seed sweep: 48 FloatingIslands seeds and
14 effective SurfaceWorld seeds (34 of 48 fell on a seed-independent cube) match across Clang/GCC
and W1/W12. Standalone gains --seed/--recipe/--render-distance-chunks (viewer + headless) and a
Windows replay script. Linux standalone workers get 32 MiB pthread stacks (TLS is 17.3 MiB/thread),
so no external stack limit is needed. No Core or world-output change; MSVC compile unverified.

Headless Linux benchmark/hash tool (Clang 19 / GCC 14) sharing the viewer's plan builder and
streaming pipeline (moved verbatim into StreamBenchmarkPipeline.h / WorldAssemblyPrototype.h).
Owner Round17 view: density/mesh/payload/topology hashes equal the Windows S13 reference at
W1/W8/W12 (Clang, 3 runs each) and W8 (GCC), with -ffp-contract=off. No output change.
Baseline (i9-12900H, CPUs 0-11, powersave/balance_performance): whole view W8 3.562 s median,
W12 3.512 s, W1 16.555 s; peak RSS < 605 MiB.
Review: the default-stack crash is 17.3 MiB of static TLS per thread (glibc puts it in the
thread stack; HeightfieldColumnCache 6.8 MB), not recursion -- open, after S14.
MSVC compile of the viewer refactor not verified (no MSVC here).

Exclusive per-stage tile timers and probes. Findings: LOD0 is MC-exclusive
(10.4 of 14 ms p95, 243 ns/sample); LOD4's 3x cost is column-cache misses
(8,224 vs ~1,600-1,900 at LOD3/5), cap refine secondary; per-tile feature lists
cost ~0.001 ms; cross-worker column repeats common (277k at LOD0). Global octave
drop and stride-2 interpolation probes fail the 2 cm gate. Worker cap 1 kept
(cap 0 worse 40 m/s tick tail). Report: Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round17.

Startup apply mode on by default (12 meshes / 14 ms per frame, ends when the
initial set and walkable ring are ready, 30 s cap); normal play keeps the
authored budget. Backlog peak 252 -> 10, LOD8 apply wait 1.1 s -> 4 ms.
Ring 0.49 s, LOD0 1.40 s, 40 m/s ring 75/75. Remaining floor: frame-paced
admission (~8.3 submits/frame, 8 running workers max). No geometry change.

voxel.StreamingCollisionLookahead (default on) predicts the support tile 350 ms
ahead along full 3D velocity and prioritises its 9-tile collision ring. Owner
plan, BuildHost actor: 40 m/s arrival-ready 25/74 -> 74/74 (CVar-off control
15/74); 6/12/25 m/s stay 100%; -Z 50 m/s 93/93. Spawn unchanged (~7.7 s).
Critical LOD0 path at 40 m/s: generation 67 ms p50, RMC body update 38 ms p50.
LOD8 cost counted (native horizon 48 ms of 60), optimisation deferred.

voxel.CoreRegionConcurrentAdmission (default on): tiles independent of the
entering region keep submitting while a region page compiles; pages are
immutable shared_ptr owners so running readers survive eviction. 6 m/s: 11
whole-pass skips -> 0, walkable ring ready at every centre change.
voxel.StreamingResultBacklogCap=256 bounds finished results (slow-apply worst
case 125 -> 76 MB). Spawn unchanged at ~7.7 s: LOD8 is 46% of worker time.
At 60 m/s + teleport the collision ring is outrun (102/113 centres).

Two admission blockers found by per-frame decline codes: the near reserve held
four slots idle after LOD0 was done (coarse capped at 6), and finished-but-
unapplied results counted against the task cap. Admission now counts queued +
running tasks; near reserve releases once the walkable ring is ready while
stationary (voxel.StreamingDynamicNearReserve, default on). Walkable ring
0.65 -> 0.58 s, full LOD0 2.28 -> 1.44 s, busy workers 2.2 -> 5.6 of 10.
Old behaviour behind voxel.StreamingLegacyPendingResultCap. RMC source reviewed
(read-only): batching/fast-cook ranked, not yet worth it on measured apply cost.

Direct per-tile trace on the BuildHost actor (owner plan, 2,578 keys): full set
17.4 s legacy; gated coarse-first (after the 9-tile walkable ring) 11.7 s with
the ring still at 0.63 s, but full LOD0 slips 2.3 -> 10.2 s. Startup apply
boost changed nothing (0.4%). 37.6 worker-s over 17.4 s on 10 slots = ~3.3
busy: the floor is admission/work supply. S5's 251 ms staircase was the trace
sampler. Fixed CVar parsing in headless BeginPlay and the 60 m/s crossing
instrument. All three knobs stay opt-in.

S3's far cap sat up to 8.2 m above the near roof and read as floating pieces.
The far render cap now projects onto the owning strate's upper boundary
(density unchanged), on a global XY lattice, LOD4 16-voxel grid + LOD5-8
128-voxel. Cap agreement 0.05 cm (100 cm control detected), 2520/2520 upward
rays hit roof on the owner walk. Far recipe v2; LOD0-3 hashes equal S2/S3.
Tile p95 flat; cold clipmap +4.4%. Far-cliff fluting left open (coarse MC step).

Far-shell repair (81-96% of S2's LOD7/8 tile time) is skipped for certified
SurfaceWorld tiles; ground and cap come from the shared planar heightfield.
Near LOD0-3 hashes equal S2; far recipe version 1 salts LOD5+ identities.
Cold first view 6.6 -> 3.4 s (aim 1.57 s). Not a visual sign-off: distant cap
shows floating pieces, sprint streaming arrives late.

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.

AVoxelWorld::CoreVoxelSizeCm (default 25, 32 voxels/tile) flows through plan, field,
mesher, content, water, atmosphere, edits and collision. Staged-owner BuildHost passes at
20 cm (SurfaceWorld + islands, W1/W8/W16, anchors, BP edits, collision) with a fixed-25cm
negative control; default-size hashes match round 4; Core off stays legacy 12.5 cm.
Reusable BuildWorldAssemblyFeatureTileListV1; wired into FloatingIslands only so far.
256-island stress: tile p95 112.5 -> 2.0 ms, 0 mismatches, dropped-feature control fails.
Content placement measured (no populated cells): island ground search 7.25 ms/cell vs
legacy 0.29 ms -- open. Outside-review evaluation in Round5/REPORT.md.

SurfaceWorld and FloatingIslands plans generate at startup from the resolved seed,
strate types and heights (hashed, cached). Imported JSON is an opt-in override (off by
default); an invalid override shows an on-screen notice and falls back to legacy.
BuildHost on staged owner assets: SurfaceWorld cross-system checks, islands at owner
height (route, collision, anchors, BP edits), seed 137501, W1/W8/W16, Core-off legacy.
XY-column cache verified (hashes kept); island LOD0 p95 91 ms vs 133 ms sprint deadline.
Not exercised: season-seed path (no Season in staged settings), rendered notice pixels.

Islands read as separate (91.89% open sky at mid-height), underside cavity closed,
rim teeth were capture shading. Island manifest import + BuildHost proof passed on the
pre-cache tree; M1 SurfaceWorld and M2 V1/V2 gates passed.
Known open: final XY-column cache compiled in the owner build but is unverified;
island LOD0 p95 ~155 ms misses the 133 ms sprint deadline (legacy ~43 ms); the island
manifest only fits the BuildHost fixture layout (owner's world: Core init fails,
empty world) -> round 4 builds plans inside Unreal.

Pinch cause: SmoothStep taper drove the underside radius to zero at one point. Version 2: depth 0.75x
diameter (thin-pad control at 0.30 fails), 3-4 seeded roots, bounded contour warp + roughness, one
off-route side island, 3 m rock spans. Bounds/route/W1-W8-W16 pass. Open: legacy probe metadata says
25 cm but production legacy is 12.5 cm -- round 3 must fix the import scale contract.

Bounds 517 boxes, 0 missed, negative control caught; capsule route 1044 centers, raised-route control
fails; W1/W8/W16 stable (field bf3ce7da876431e2); 39 ms native vs 64 ms legacy. My review: islands read
as thin flat pads with a radial pinch under them, not rock; next round fixes the look.
