The FI->TN wall beat (4.77 cm at 7.06 m) was the lower-mouth flare: the full mouth radius
was assigned to the penultimate control point, a one-segment radius jump. The shared route
builder now blends to the mouth radius over 12 m with a smoothstep. Wall ripple 1-2:
7.27 -> 1.62 cm. All three passages pass support/blocked/grade/ripple/naturalness; controls
detected. Fast tier 269/269 incl. the new-plan stage; W1/W8/W12 equal, Clang and GCC.
Hash pins: FI style 2 re-pinned at v213.

- Shared composer: a passage's restored support is applied after a physically overlapping
later bore, instead of being carved away by it (0-1: 59 -> 0 unsupported).
- Capsule clearance for support restoration is tested against nearby route segments only
(1-2: 3 -> 0, 2-3: 2 -> 0 unsupported).
- L66 index switches replaced by a physical criterion (both mouths inside their strata bands,
neither a SurfaceWorld landing).
- Audit: floor zero-crossing refined by bisection (the 0.2498 m "step" was the gauge);
wall ripple keeps the authored radius, cubic detrend per 32 m window. Controls detected:
L35 ribs, beads, synthetic 0.25 m step, L36 washboard, L23 terrace.
- Result: 0-1 and 2-3 pass all audits; 1-2 fails wall ripple 7.27 cm (limit 3.5) from an
authored-radius beat at 7.06 m. Fast tier was green before the final gauge change and was
not re-run after it.

- Core caps each passage mouth reach to its own strate's usable content band (owner
DA_Strate1 exports ReachMax=5000 owner voxels, which put the SW->FI lower mouth 79.5 m
below FI, inside TN).
- Unreal adapter: SW route search keeps the old 64 m candidates first, then a bounded
single-mouth search with shorter lengths; logs candidate/rejection counts.
- Internal-chain passage floor/support tweaks (only with >2 strates): ripple 1-2 4.78->2.90 cm,
2-3 3.57->0.10 cm. Interfaces still 0/3 walkable (59/3/2 unsupported).
- verify.py: legacy tiers use Standalone/data/regression/owner_world_2strate_l61.json; new
four-strate stage reads its expectations from owner_world.json (currently red on interfaces).
- Unreal trace L14 vs HEAD, same assets (16-chunk FlatPlain): 12.20 vs 12.56 worker-s; no x2.

New verify.py sanitize tier (Clang address,undefined,float-cast-overflow; GCC address,undefined;

INT_MIN negation in floor division, unbounded signed LOD shifts and coordinate-times-extent overflow in

VoxelHash::Cell/Pair, legacy Cellular3D and the shared Core cellular hash added 0x7FFFFFFF to a signed
int32 before casting to uint32; overflow is undefined, so Clang and GCC placed cave passage 1 differently
(first differing sample at LOD1 tile (0,64,-512)). The bias is now done in unsigned arithmetic, in both the
standalone copy and the Unreal plugin header (Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelCaveMorphology.h). Native
caves, motifs and lattice now stream LOD0-8 with skirts and cross-level transitions. New verify.py
--speed-matrix runs every generator on one asserted-identical view (5 interleaved runs): motifs 1.33,
profiles 1.30-1.32, caves 1.41, natural SW 1.67, lattice 1.70, FI 4.93 s whole view. fast/medium/full PASS,

Core.Lattice.PrimitiveField v1, opt-in per strate (legacy Maze/VerticalShaft stay legacy): resolves the real
arrival and departure mouths first, plans a mandatory spine, then maze cells and two dead ends (9 rooms,

pitch, 2.6 m clearance; max grade 10.0 deg); each feature is one filleted void (0.57 m measured). Final-field
reachability passes at 883 stations; an orphaned shaft control is rejected; exact intervals (0 misses) and
a whole-surface audit with 0 flags. Whole view 1.69 s (above the 1 s target). fast/medium/full PASS.

Core.Caves.PrimitiveField v1, opt-in per strate (legacy TunnelNetwork assets stay legacy): solid host rock
and one smooth union of two elliptical spine tubes and an ellipsoid room, each intersected with its rising

Capsule flood fill arrival -> departure passes (headroom >= 0.3 m, grade <= 15 deg); the generalized
whole-surface audit passes with its controls failing. Cold whole view 0.727 s, near ring 0.19 s. Graph

an island AABB (25,536 unknown boxes, 0 tile skips). Conservative ranges for island bodies, root lobes,

Versioned capsule vein records (stable ID, resource ID, endpoints, radius, seeded irregularity) resolved
into the snapshot only when requested, placed beside the route and away from passages, landings and
landmarks (forced-passage control rejected). The bound field table gains materialAt (host + two resource
IDs + Q16 weights) behind a per-tile BVH; mesh export v2 carries per-vertex materials; a measurement-only
yield computes removed resource volume (0 on already-air space). With veins on, every density, mesh,

The demo tunnel's hard floor cap used a vertical Z - floorZ on a sloped Bezier floor, which is not a signed
distance, so marching cubes produced a staircase through the first 7 m (40-51 mm ripple, 82 mm steps). The
cap now uses the grade-normalised signed distance with a floor-adjacent bore re-application fading over the
entrance; mesh tile Z bounds include cavern bounds. New three-rail entrance audit: L46 fails, L47 passes.

The flagged SW demo's ramp (57 carves + 107 support pillars, visibly ribbed) becomes one cubic-Bezier
sweep: closest point by 17-point seed plus 5 Newton steps, a cubic floor profile, a rounded 2.6 m bore,
and a hard floor cap applied after unions and relief that only adds support where the field is air.
Optional resolved cavern-graph records (one room, one edge) enter canonical identity only when present;
their bounds extend World::isTileShapeFree. Reachability passes (L43 control fails), headroom 2.8 m,

L27 added passage support columns, but World::isTileShapeFree only bounded the route and bridge, so tiles
touched by a column could be approved for early native-only generation; depending on scheduling they used
that incomplete field or the compiled one (six LOD0 tiles differed between W1 and W12 at an SW camera near
the arrival mouth). The shape-free proof now includes a conservative envelope for every possible column.
The compiled world is unchanged (the old W1 variant), so no version bump. verify tiers gain a seeded
(SplitMix64 0x4c3434) random-camera W1/W8/W12 sweep across both recipes and several clip settings; it fails
