FI geometry v3 drops the all-XY lower boundary seal that created false floors (3.5/8 m); the
ceiling comes from the shared VF_ApplyUpperBoundarySeal and AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings path
for every generator, at each strate's own configured upper boundary (owner: every strate has a
ceiling). Far-LOD ceiling continuity: 0 gaps at LOD4-8. SurfaceWorld bit-identical to L14
(14 configs + 24 m crossing); FI deterministic (28-row matrix); route parity and proofs pass.
Unreal: FI geometryVersion 2->3 and the shared upper-seal helper extracted (UBT compile needed on
the owner PC). Open: small ceiling holes; lower-stratum LOD ring steps seen through the FI void.

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.

Luna, M1 round 1 of 4 (plan in Standalone/ASSEMBLER_M1_REPORT.md):
- Versioned fixed-scale world manifest (the shipped plan format) and the Core block
contract: point evaluation, interval-or-unknown, influence bound, detail envelope, channels.
- Interval audit: 256 boxes / 6,912 samples, 0 missed, 0 unknown; a deliberately false bound
is detected (negative control).
- Native Heightfield2D with biome input: 4,096-point hash fae2721c052aec5c identical at
W1/W8/W16; point queries 2.059 ms vs 62.115 ms legacy -- but NOT a match yet (mean density
error 274 voxels, 2,261 sign mismatches vs the legacy surface). 45 mesh-free Core queries
match direct evaluation exactly. Existing cave world unchanged (walkability, 64/64 tiles).
- Open: collision readiness, a valid full-view timing (viewer captures were occluded/empty;
top-down height maps are the only usable pair).
Also carries the design doc's owner decisions (fixed water; player edits unrestricted, route
law for automatic changes only) and three plugin files + BuildHost scripts that earlier round
commits had missed (also fixed on unreal/core-integration as 2574b56).

- Core compiles exact-tile analytic slabs for entering tiles; a Z-column sampler reuses the coherent
noise context along each tile column; the viewer keeps residents and prioritises nearby tiles.
- 30-crossing straight flight: nearest tile ready 15.8 ms median / 27.6 ms max; full crossing wall
121 ms peak; worker CPU per crossing 545 ms median, 834 ms max.
- W1/W8 hashes equal; routes 5642/5642; look, passage, stair, thin-sheet, coarse-panel and far
audits pass; bad-shell control fails; path-hash audit kept.
Cold whole view, measured by me interleaved (busy machine): 1.242 s vs 1.255 s for 3b37d57, parity.
Still open from the owner (LOD0): fins along a strata seam, choppy stair facets.

From the owner's fly-through ("very impressive, in some cases slightly better than the original"):
- Streaming: Core compiles world-aligned fine-detail pages for tiles entering the view and releases
them when they leave; the viewer keeps resident tiles. One chunk crossing: 144 new tiles, 1,822
kept (was a full rebuild). A tile built as a late page hashes identically (density, mesh, payload,
topology) to the same tile from an initial build.
- LOD>=1 fins: off-surface planar connector panels are now checked against the source surface and
projected onto it; coarse audit 0 off-surface panels; far survival passes, bad-shell still fails.
- LOD0 stair patches: 2,630 sign-changing edges had one endpoint at the fixed +-4.125 fallback
(carve surfaces were excluded from distance storage); distances now completed analytically, 462
packed signs corrected; the audit now fails on any sign edge missing either endpoint (0 of 952,997).
- W1/W8 hashes equal; routes 5642/5642; look, passage and far audits pass.
Verified by me, interleaved (8 workers, cold): 1.014 s vs 1.008 s for aeeedaa, no regression.
Open: a chunk crossing still costs ~1.2 s of page compilation.

- The copied generator, mesher and Compat stand-ins compile inside vfcore::detail.
- CheckCoreSymbols.ps1 (run by Build.ps1) fails on any unqualified Unreal-style symbol in the
library: 16,255 on 557f6aa, 0 now. A UE 5.7 CoreMinimal.h + VoxelForgeCore.h smoke compile passes.
- Output identical: 11 hash rows at W1/W8, routes 5642/5642, look/passage/far audits pass,
bad-shell control fails, six captures byte-identical.
Cost, measured by me interleaved (8 workers, cold, 4 runs each, first run excluded): 0.963 s vs
0.937 s for 557f6aa, ~27 ms in shape compilation; same math, so codegen/inlining. To be found.

- Standalone/Core: public header VoxelForgeCore.h (no Unreal types), static library target,
ResolvedWorldSnapshot (from the schema-v1 JSON), World (compile, generateTile, density/sign,
point/segment solid, classifyBox), host-supplied JobScheduler (the core starts no threads),
sequenced, idempotent EditTransaction returning affected tiles per LOD.
- The viewer, benchmarks, edits and audits run on Core; StreamingWorld stays host code.
- Same as round 11: 11 hash rows at W1 and W8, routes 5642/5642, look/passage/far audits pass,
bad-shell control fails, six fixed captures byte-identical; cold W8 1.025 s vs 1.041 s reference.
- SHARED_CPP_LIBRARY_PLAN.md rewritten for a UBT module compiling the same sources via shims.
Open issue before Unreal: Core's implementation still compiles the Compat stand-ins named like
Unreal types (TArray, FVector...); inside a UE binary that is an ODR clash. Must be namespaced.
