After L22 the FI -> SW passage no longer connected the strates (legacy owner-voxel coordinates,
lower end 23 m above SW), and Core never carved passages through the bands. Now the director
plans passages from the resolved layout (PlanResolvedLayoutPassagesV1; deterministic hash of
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 /
0 unsupported (325,962 samples FI, 284,319 TunnelNetwork), negative controls detected; all 8
generator kinds exercised. SW away from the passage is bit-identical. Layout V3, evaluator 9.
Open: look not yet natural (stepped tube in FI void, terraced SW arrival); SW-as-upper route
planning fails; Unreal adapter uncompiled.

StrateLayoutChunkSizeMeters (world setting, default 8 m; owner decision) is resolved once in
the director/adapter and standalone loader; every generator reads the resolved width (no
CHUNK_SIZE / Core-tile inference). Every strate gets solid ceiling and bedrock bands from its
BoundarySealThickness in the shared composition path (diggable by default); faces come from the
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
gone. The strict layout validator passes on the real world, with 0 endpoint dispatch
disagreements. Spawn/benchmark camera derived from route.front. Ledges under the islands gone
(reviewer capture). Evaluator 7, recipe schema 2, layout snapshot 2, FI geometry 4.
Open: SW cap profiles exceed the ceiling band (owner call); transitions still Hard; Unreal
setting/manager/adapter edits uncompiled here.

Core ResolvedLayoutSnapshotV1 (canonical JSON, stable identity): per strate stable ID, generator,
recipe, interior bounds in metres, ceiling/bedrock bands as Core really applies them, transition
mode/width, dispatch provenance. Validator: compat mode reports today's deviations; strict mode
enforces ceiling -> content -> bedrock -> next ceiling (owner rule), two separate bands, nominal
contiguity, interpenetration only within the declared EVoxelStrateTransition width; 7 negative
controls rejected. Findings: SW built at -120..-632 m although the params say -60 m; a 60 m unowned
gap filled by analytic FI fallback; no active bedrock bands; transitions ignored by Core.
All L19 hashes unchanged (28 + 14 crossing runs). The Unreal adapter exports resolved_layout
(uncompiled here).

Region pages fell back to the legacy GetDensityAt evaluator while the base shape used the Core
manifest field, so a tile's density (and sometimes mesh) depended on streaming history. Pages
are now bound to their world's base FStandaloneShapeWorld evaluator before publication; density,
lattice, detail, classification and solid queries all delegate to it. WorldAssemblyEvaluatorVersion
5 -> 6. Route-parity audit: fails on L12 (5/5); after the fix 0 mismatches over 87 tile pairs
(base/page, base/native-only, edited, two histories), 56 exact-query pairs, 2.3M page samples,
4 seeds/recipes. Page-tile proof audit: 1,274 blocks, 0 violations. The spawn and island worlds
are unchanged; crossing output changed as intended. Reviewer interleaved spawn: +1.1% (noise).

Analytic region pages now retain the immutable shared manifest, so LOD1 page tiles get the L9
uniform-block proofs (71.7 -> 5.6 ms per tile). Reviewer W12 no-hash: 24 m crossing 0.898 ->
0.166 s; Luna: 1 km 5.89 -> 1.25 s. Spawn unchanged; all L1/FloatingIslands hashes and the 24 m
crossing hash unchanged (W1/W12).
KNOWN BUG (pre-existing, measured here): the same tile key yields different density from the base
shape (manifest field) than from a region page (legacy field), sometimes different mesh too, so
output depends on streaming history. To be fixed in L13.

Crash: crossing tiles were coalesced into one huge rectangle, and BuildSpatialBins tried to
resize to ~4.3e17 bytes (std::bad_alloc; the L7 32 m failure had the same cause). Analytic
regions now skip unread dense bins and compile in world-aligned 128-voxel pages, published
together; out-of-range keys error before allocation. 24 m, 32 m and 1 km crossings pass
(1 km: 72 pages, peak RSS 700 MiB).
Spawn: World::isTileShapeFree proves LOD0 SurfaceWorld tiles that never read the cave shape;
those start before shape compile, and all others wait. Reviewer W12 no-hash: near ring 0.337 ->
0.159 s, whole view +2.1%. All SurfaceWorld/FloatingIslands hashes unchanged (W1/W8/W12, both
compilers, forced-overlap run). Unreal VoxelWorld.cpp adapter changed but NOT built here.

Step-2 (LOD1) tiles of native SurfaceWorld now prove 8-cell blocks uniform from exact heightfield
column extrema over the padded block (cells + normal halo) and skip their density fill; features,
edits, mixed strata and Unknown verdicts still fill. LOD1 samples 42,875 -> 2,063 per tile.
Audit: 80,502 skipped blocks (3 seeds) + 9,216 island blocks force-filled, 0 violations. All
SurfaceWorld and FloatingIslands hashes unchanged at W1/W8/W12, Clang off and GCC default.
Reviewer interleaved W12, no hashing: whole view 1.439 -> 1.409 s. L8 phase probes removed;
--profile-lod-work and --audit-uniform-block-proofs are opt-in.

SharedColumnCache.h: a world-owned, bounded 4-way second-tier cache of exact column values
(heightfield and floating islands), keyed by recipe/plan identity plus content hash, XY and island
id. Lock-free seqlock reads; set-local spin lock on misses. The FLazy thread-local tier stays
first. 83.6% of repeated column work was cross-worker; formula evaluations -60.9%.
W12 L1 view: Luna 2.165 -> 1.754 s; reviewer interleaved 2.059 -> 1.722 s. 8 m crossing new tiles
82 -> 52 ms. +66 MiB peak RSS. All hashes (whole view, per-LOD, exact queries, islands seed 0)
identical at W1/W8/W12, Clang off and GCC default. MSVC/UBT not compiled here.

Linux offscreen capture (EGL/GLES pbuffer; llvmpipe in the sandbox) and an opt-in screen-space gate
for LOD>=3 (normal distance projected at each LOD's closest display distance, 1 px at 1440p =
0.61 mrad). The gate rejects the S13 octave-drop and stride-2 controls, fault injections, and a
vertical-vs-screen control. Finding: today's far meshes differ from the field by up to 92 px, and
LOD swaps snap mesa rims by tens of px (p50 0 px), a silhouette effect of plain LOD switching. The
octave cutoff was dropped: nothing qualified, and octaves are a small share of far time. Off-path
cost: reviewer interleaved W12 within noise vs L4 (+0.6% median). Hashes = L4.
Largest far lever measured: column work outside noise, 34% of far worker time (duplicate XY across tiles).

VoxelForgeCoreThreadLocal::FLazy<T> (new public header ThreadLocalStorage.h) makes every large
thread_local cache a pointer that heap-allocates on that thread's first use (still worker-private,
lock-free). Static TLS 17.33 MiB -> 43 KiB (initialised image 5.8 MiB -> 21 KiB); worker start
5.2 -> 0.12 ms; idle worker RSS 17.7 MiB -> 52 KiB. Linux workers back to 8 MiB stacks.
World unchanged (L1 hashes Clang off/GCC default, W1/W12; FloatingIslands seed 0).
Reviewer interleaved W12: 2.256 -> 2.091 s. MSVC/UBT not compiled here.

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).
