Seed-2 shell carver measured: vertical-shafts route-edge-0, the layer's own connection edge from the 2-3 lower
mouth. Connection edges legitimately run beside the passage 12-20 m from the mouth, so an 8 m mouth-sphere exclusion
rejects 9/16 otherwise valid plans. Points to one continuous tube across the mouth instead of two overlapping ones.

Native FI binds and its own route/clearance/mouth-support checks pass on seeds 0 and 10, but 14/16 seeds have no
island arrangement that clears the fixed passage tubes and reaches both mouth heights; seed 10 has one composed
collision; ripple 6-7 cm vs the 3.5 cm limit on both upper passages. Third failure of the 'islands adapt to fixed
