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.

BuildLinux.sh hashes a sorted manifest of compiled inputs into VOXELFORGE_SOURCE_STAMP, printed first by
every executable; Standalone/Tools/verify/verify.py checks it before and after each tier and records
binary/input hashes and the resolved recipe, style map and layout. Fast (163 s) runs on the canonical owner
world only and asserts FI Style 2 / SW Style 1; medium (8 min) and full (26 min) add the style matrix,
GCC, determinism and cost. Controls: stale source, mislabelled style-0 owner, all-black capture, L30/L31,
L35/L36 and the L38 step are all rejected. No geometry change; owner hashes identical to L37.
Research R6: leak table, generator contract and a 10-step metre-native migration plan.

The passage mouth fade multiplied the signed carve distance by zero, which turned native rock into an
open surface (the reason earlier rounds stamped walk pads at mouths); it now blends between the
uncarved field and the full signed carve. The FI style-0 route followed a lifted grade envelope over
the crater (the "bridge"); it now runs on the rim and follows the native surface. New built-shape and
crease audits with thresholds frozen before the fix (L36 and box controls fail). 24/24 passage rows,
30/30 determinism, 16/16 invariants, 18/18 interface/ring. Unreal: one recipe setter (uncompiled).
Research R1 (read-only, web): ranked proposals for natural walkable mouths, floor-limited carve first.
