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.

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.

Owner saw content floating above native terrain, spiky triangles, reversed carve/fill and late relief.
Causes: shared mesher placed Core tiles on a 12.5 cm grid; content/atmosphere asked strate ranges in
12.5 cm voxels; Core edits add density where the legacy diff subtracts. Horizon LOD8 bridge edge
5.657 -> 2.265 cells. Relief mesh p95 60.8 -> 42.0 ms (LOD0). New BuildHost checks for scale, height,
blueprint carve/fill and per-kind streaming lag.

Luna, M1 round 4 (resumed after the night stop):
- Cliff: sub-voxel audit (29,929 half-voxel XY columns, min run 3.75 voxels, 0 subvoxel runs;
old taper control exposes 20,963) and a root-line shelf at the two-voxel minimum.
- Horizon slab = aliased LOD8 cap ceiling. The first fix hid the ceiling at LOD8 (challenged:
enclosed, interior-lit strates); now the LOD8 cap is rebuilt deterministically from the
native heightfield, skirts preserved; looking up and out shows the cap present.
- Routes: review manifest with 33 stable-ID route points + capsule/support constraints; capsule
sweep 0 blocked samples / 0 unsupported centres, negative control detected.
- Server path: World::densityAt answers without render meshes. Physics cooking not available
standalone.
- Hashes (evaluator + 2,226-tile stream) identical at W1/W8/W16. LOD8: 4.446 s for 529 tiles,
14.25 M field calls, 165 unknown tiles.
- Captures at 60 fps cap + vsync (owner's GPU coil whine). One cliff probe crossed the ~8 GB
guard (7.69 GiB) and was stopped before capturing.
My review: cap view matches legacy closely, no slab; native cliff is a clean attached ledge
(cleaner than legacy); a few small spikes on the ridge top.

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.

- 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.
