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.

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.

Planar far horizon samples the LOD8 interior at the MC cell spacing, keeping
128-voxel boundary strips; far recipe v3. LOD8 p95 59.8 -> 13.9 ms, spawn
worker-seconds ~41 -> 26.9, full set 7.8 -> 7.1 s, ring 0.49 s, LOD0 1.43 s,
40 m/s ring 75/75. S3/S4 2 cm agreement, 100% cap coverage, W1/W8/W12 and
W1/W8/W16 determinism pass. Report: Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round14.

voxel.CoreRegionConcurrentAdmission (default on): tiles independent of the
entering region keep submitting while a region page compiles; pages are
immutable shared_ptr owners so running readers survive eviction. 6 m/s: 11
whole-pass skips -> 0, walkable ring ready at every centre change.
voxel.StreamingResultBacklogCap=256 bounds finished results (slow-apply worst
case 125 -> 76 MB). Spawn unchanged at ~7.7 s: LOD8 is 46% of worker time.
At 60 m/s + teleport the collision ring is outrun (102/113 centres).

S3's far cap sat up to 8.2 m above the near roof and read as floating pieces.
The far render cap now projects onto the owning strate's upper boundary
(density unchanged), on a global XY lattice, LOD4 16-voxel grid + LOD5-8
128-voxel. Cap agreement 0.05 cm (100 cm control detected), 2520/2520 upward
rays hit roof on the owner walk. Far recipe v2; LOD0-3 hashes equal S2/S3.
Tile p95 flat; cold clipmap +4.4%. Far-cliff fluting left open (coarse MC step).

Far-shell repair (81-96% of S2's LOD7/8 tile time) is skipped for certified
SurfaceWorld tiles; ground and cap come from the shared planar heightfield.
Near LOD0-3 hashes equal S2; far recipe version 1 salts LOD5+ identities.
Cold first view 6.6 -> 3.4 s (aim 1.57 s). Not a visual sign-off: distant cap
shows floating pieces, sprint streaming arrives late.

Island-only worker context replaced by a shared worker-local candidate domain
(WorldAssemblyFeatureTileListV1 / ScopedWorldAssemblyFeatureQueriesV1) serving
SurfaceWorld, FloatingIslands and far-shell queries; a per-domain cost hint keeps the
full scan on small plans. Content placement prepares the same queries and skips proven
air: owner island cell p95 7.07 -> 0.24 ms; populated fixture 572 exact placements,
3.27 s -> 29 ms. Full/candidate hashes equal with dropped-feature controls on both
families; S1 default W1/W8/W16 hashes reproduced; Core-off and M2 fixtures pass.
Default contract for future families in ARCHITECTURE 8.23. Run on gpt-6.1-sol medium.

AVoxelWorld::CoreVoxelSizeCm (default 25, 32 voxels/tile) flows through plan, field,
mesher, content, water, atmosphere, edits and collision. Staged-owner BuildHost passes at
20 cm (SurfaceWorld + islands, W1/W8/W16, anchors, BP edits, collision) with a fixed-25cm
negative control; default-size hashes match round 4; Core off stays legacy 12.5 cm.
Reusable BuildWorldAssemblyFeatureTileListV1; wired into FloatingIslands only so far.
256-island stress: tile p95 112.5 -> 2.0 ms, 0 mismatches, dropped-feature control fails.
Content placement measured (no populated cells): island ground search 7.25 ms/cell vs
legacy 0.29 ms -- open. Outside-review evaluation in Round5/REPORT.md.
