BUILD RESULTS FIRST: 14/14 tests green, 0 violations. VerticalShafts box
verdicts went 0 -> 30 of 60 (zero was the number for the project's whole life).
TunnelNetwork production held at 11 proved / 14641 voxels, byte-identical --
that line was the isolated diagnostic for cab8e8f, so its stillness proves
Jahni's room/tunnel Min <= Max are correctly ordered. All eight equivalence
tests bit-identical, which TESTS the "bounds only, cannot reach density" claim
made on 7dbdf51 / eaa44bf / cab8e8f rather than asserting it.
PART A -- the column memo thrash is confirmed quantitatively. Measured 14.74%
miss rate against a prediction of 14.0% if thrashing and 1.4% if not; and 8,300
recomputes per tile against a healthy 1,225 (6.8x) from an independent
statistic. Replaced the 4096-slot direct-mapped hashed table with the
direct-indexed box scheme GSurfColCache has always used: no hash, no
collisions, every column computed exactly once. ParamsFingerprint is retained
in the box key -- its absence was the shipped bug that silently deleted the
overhang, and GSurfColCache's own omission of it was deliberately not copied.
PART B -- T1.d never fires in game: the two op-stack counters never appeared,
and since every displayed row has Min 1.00 rather than 0.00, rows only render
when a counter fires. The cave branch has 13 return-Mixed paths; guessing which
is the mistake this project keeps paying for. Six attribution counters now name
the bail category outright. Only edits there are brace-expansions so a counter
fits before each existing return -- every condition and returned value is
byte-identical.
Open falsifiable hypothesis: Tiles Meshed averages 2.13/frame, plausibly the
reason LOD rings update slowly. If misses drop ~10x and LODs speed up, the memo
was the ceiling; if not, they are separate problems, cleanly separated.
Not built -- Jahni builds.
