ResolvedLayoutSnapshotV3::finalize maps each strate's generator and interface once into capability
records (FI gradient air-gap, surface/FI landing support, passage-anchor columns, SW-to-TN floor);
ApplyResolvedStrateBoundaryBand and passage composition read those instead of generator kinds. Derived

UVoxelStrateManager::Initialize resolves the layout width to integer micrometres before passages or
scheduling; each slot stores physical [bottom, top) bounds, transition mode/width and passage settings;
chunk indices remain a floor-based compatibility projection. The Core adapter derives interiors and L29
bands from those resolved values. verify: full-tier cost baseline is HEAD (or --baseline), tier timeout
7200 s with 1800 s per process; the source stamp now includes the plugin Source tree compiled on Linux

SurfaceWorld, FloatingIslands and legacy evaluators sit behind one immutable densityAt adapter held in

Offline replay of the L37 and L38 tube fields on the FI Style 2 helix shows no 7.8 m ripple from the
tube distance itself (< 0.3 cm). The real signal is a step: the upper coil's 1 m fallback floor strip,
composed independently, puts a support root 0.44 m from the lower bore's centreline at head height;
the 7.8 m "period" is a sinusoid fitted to that step. Proposes pairing the floor cap with its bore.

closest-centerline ownership is wrong when bore radius > pitch/2; a floor-near (+-0.125 m, within bore

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,

The walk tread was built per segment as a one-sided density clamp, so its crossing with the native

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
now Catmull-Rom smoothed and the relief uses irregular rotated 43/29/19 m scales; the natural wobble

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).

Exclusive per-stage tile timers and probes. Findings: LOD0 is MC-exclusive
(10.4 of 14 ms p95, 243 ns/sample); LOD4's 3x cost is column-cache misses
(8,224 vs ~1,600-1,900 at LOD3/5), cap refine secondary; per-tile feature lists
cost ~0.001 ms; cross-worker column repeats common (277k at LOD0). Global octave
drop and stride-2 interpolation probes fail the 2 cm gate. Worker cap 1 kept
(cap 0 worse 40 m/s tick tail). Report: Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round17.

voxel.StreamingReadyQueueDepth=8 admits one extra worker-set of prioritized
tasks; voxel.StreamingBackgroundWorkerCap=1 sizes slots to the 8 TaskGraph
background workers actually running tile tasks. Full set 5.96 -> 4.91 s,
LOD0 1.40 -> 1.09 s, ring 0.49 -> 0.51 s, 40 m/s ring 75/75. Tick p95
+0.6 ms spawn / +0.26 ms walk, max flat. No geometry change.
Report: Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round16.
