Measured first: 45% of FI tiles are all-air, yet FloatingIslandFieldV1 returned unknown for any box near
an island AABB (25,536 unknown boxes, 0 tile skips). Conservative ranges for island bodies, root lobes,
buttresses, connectors, surface detail and smooth-min budgets now let the shared box classifier prove FI
air/solid (216 tile skips; 28.6 M audited samples, 0 violations). The X8 path reuses its FI preflight

(farHorizonVersion 4 -> 5). FI 16.74 -> 7.36 s (-56%), FI moving entering-tile p50 halved; SW unchanged.

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
cap now uses the grade-normalised signed distance with a floor-adjacent bore re-application fading over the
entrance; mesh tile Z bounds include cavern bounds. New three-rail entrance audit: L46 fails, L47 passes.

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
(SplitMix64 0x4c3434) random-camera W1/W8/W12 sweep across both recipes and several clip settings; it fails

The walk tread was built per segment as a one-sided density clamp, so its crossing with the native
field moved at segment joins (L35: 2.25-2.48 cm washboard). Treads now overlap up to 2 m as bounded
signed-distance slabs (0.06 cm residual). The FI mouth's crater detail and tread met without a smooth
join; v23 filters the local field, drops thin isolated solids and smooth-unions the tread with the

The shared passage carve took the minimum of piecewise-linear capsules (scallops at joins) and added
wall relief on regular 8 m / 4 m octaves, which read as evenly spaced ribs. Interior sweep joins are

seed/strates/connection; placement disk from PassageConfig, 8-24 m around (0,0)); shared
composition applies generator field -> bands -> bounded passage carve and support shelf, opening
the bands only along the tunnel. Mouths bind to the strate routes. Capsule audit: 0 blocked /

StrateLayoutChunkSizeMeters (world setting, default 8 m; owner decision) is resolved once in

shared boundary path. Owner world: FloatingIslands +8..-120 m (128 m, now with a bedrock floor),
SurfaceWorld -120..-632 m (unchanged; full-detail and exact-query hashes equal L21); the 60 m gap is

Region pages fell back to the legacy GetDensityAt evaluator while the base shape used the Core
