passages: smoothed open-air shell joins (L110, v257) - partial, not merged

Bands = end profiles of per-control-span shell capsules (~9.35 m pitch = span spacing).
Shell now smooth-unions adjacent spans over 6 m and reuses the interior chord distance; a 0.60 m
clearance fades in 5-20 m from each mouth. Close-ups: bands reduced but still visible on part of
the exposed shell. Cost vs L109: near-ready +8..+12% (FI 0.88 -> 1.00, TN 0.92 -> 1.01 s @W12).
Audits, Clang/GCC determinism, fast tier and Linux UE build pass. Kept on its own branch.

+# Linux 109 — tunnel floor and shell
+
+Baseline: `assembler/world` HEAD `95cf8de10723f2dffe7b3dfc116ecf350c7114ae`. Candidate source stamp: `9457b9bed7d57a4a387828961f9dd53632ec602eb5ea8f247b087be6ca5cc312` (evaluator v217).
+
+## Shape
+
+The per-tile swept tube now uses a horizontal flat floor, a 0.50 m smooth floor-to-wall corner, and a 0.75 m shell. Body floor depth is fixed per passage at the minimum interior radius minus 0.23 m, capped at the local radius. Five-metre cubic blends ramp both mouths into their ground; the lower mouth follows the matching authored native-cave floor where one exists. The route centreline shifts through radius tapers to keep that floor walkable. A small wall relief remains for naturalness.
+
+The passage interiors are unioned first and always win over every passage shell, including at coiled crossings. The shell writes solid only where the host field is air; rock remains unchanged. There is no rock classification. Open-air shell and interior samples pass in the owner audit.
+
+## Removed and retained
+
+Removed route support restoration, deferred support after later bores, support columns, mouth-support restoration, and their floor-specific capsule checks and profiling records. Replaced the old open-air/column audit gates with the shell audit and removed the no-long-bridge and rock-column gates, which measured the deleted support mechanism. Walkability, capsule, headroom, grade, mouth, naturalness, and ripple gates remain. Floor-ripple probes fully masked by another passage's interior air are skipped only when the overlap is explicit; capsule walkability still has to pass.
+
+Kept the native Lattice field's explicitly authored below-floor substrate because its spine needs it for walkability; this is part of that native field, not route support restoration. The legacy landmark demo retains its compatibility floor-cap path, which is separate from the resolved route sweep. Native Caves and Lattice fast checks pass.
+
+## Performance
+
+Five interleaved L80 pairs per cell, after one warmup for each binary; seconds are median `LOD0–2 near-ready / whole-view-ready`. Baseline binary is from `assembler/world` HEAD. Tile counts matched within each cell.
+
+| Strate | W8 near | W8 whole | W12 near | W12 whole |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| SW | 0.680 → 0.737 (+8.3%) | 1.686 → 1.674 (−0.7%) | 0.700 → 0.761 (+8.8%) | 1.643 → 1.644 (+0.1%) |
+| FI | 1.455 → 0.911 (−37.4%) | 2.419 → 1.772 (−26.8%) | 1.394 → 0.863 (−38.0%) | 2.288 → 1.664 (−27.3%) |
+| TN | 1.423 → 0.956 (−32.8%) | 2.310 → 1.778 (−23.0%) | 1.294 → 0.895 (−30.9%) | 2.132 → 1.661 (−22.1%) |
+| VS | 1.008 → 0.789 (−21.8%) | 1.917 → 1.639 (−14.5%) | 0.854 → 0.738 (−13.5%) | 1.716 → 1.541 (−10.2%) |
+
+There is no broad regression. SW near-ready is about 0.06 s slower; its whole-view time is flat. **Measured:** SW LOD0–2 skirt triangles rise from 133,894 to 196,602, and summed skirt work rises from 455 to 743 ms at W8 and 650 to 1,044 ms at W12. **Inference:** the added open-air shell surface and skirts explain the small SW near-ready cost. FI, TN, and VS improve at both readiness marks.
+
+## L77 phase census
+
+Two samples per case. Entries are `share / estimated worker-s`; estimates use weighted L77 samples times `WorldAssemblerLODWorker` CPU, so they are not direct phase timers.
+

+
+## Audits and determinism
+
+The full-view all-LOD audit passes: 21,425/21,425 canonical passage centreline samples are open. All three interfaces pass capsule and support checks with zero blocked or unsupported samples, zero grade failures, and both mouths bound (2/2). Capsule samples: 266,175 (0–1), 15,120 (1–2), 64,764 (2–3). The shell audit sampled 89,365 floor points, 8,423 wall points, and 10,527 interior points: zero floor, wall, or interior violations; 22,755 open-air shell samples. Naturalness, mouth profile, and ripple summaries pass 3/3, with negative controls detected. Derived floor grade peaks at 14.49°; fast native Caves headroom is 0.30 m and native Lattice headroom is 2.20 m.
+
+Fast tier: PASS, 259 PASS checks plus 5 diagnostics across 80 runs. The Clang/GCC hash matrix matches at W1/W8/W12 for the owner four-strata layout and both two-strata canonical recipes. The v217 canonical pins were written for Surface World style 1 and Floating Islands style 2.
+
+Because Core sources are Unreal-compiled, the Linux VFHostEditor build passed with `-NoUBA -MaxParallelActions=4` (27 actions, 67.4 s). Three FI and three SW `after` arrival traces also passed, each settling its full requested LOD0–2 set. Unreal processes had no `prlimit`.
+
+## Change metrics
+
+LOD0–2 camera mesh windows; “moved” means a shared global lattice crossing displaced by more than 0.01 cm. Coverage is the paired edge-classifier coverage.
+
+| Strate | Added | Removed | Moved | Coverage |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| SW | 78,201 | 14,530 | 2,758 | 99.75% |
+| FI | 37,810 | 42,398 | 78,215 | 98.31% |
+| TN | 44,694 | 48,925 | 48,816 | 98.29% |
+| VS | 7,055 | 7,096 | 8,790 | 97.38% |
+
+## Captures
+
+84 PNGs: before and after, each with both mouths and 25/50/75% stations for all three passages. Each of the nine open-air sections has three views in each set. The [capture index](captures/INDEX.md) lists every image and flags every **OPEN AIR** view. All 84 source meshes and rendered views contain geometry; minimum visible triangles are 55,420 before and 55,484 after. Six before and seven after images met the pixel floor but were flagged low contrast for review.
+
+Open-air sections (route distance in metres): `0–1`: 7.226–10.217, 13.456–17.443, 23.174–24.918, 1036.913–1489.321; `1–2`: 101.820–104.499; `2–3`: 7.677–34.747, 368.909–376.660, 393.828–396.510, 444.932–447.654.
+
+## Failed runs
+
+Early fast runs found a 0.79 m lower-mouth mismatch at native Caves and loss of the native Lattice route substrate; the mouth now matches the authored cave edge floor, and the explicitly authored Lattice floor field is retained. A sentinel check also initially treated the “no native floor” value as support; this was fixed. The first Unreal build stopped before compilation because UnrealBuildTool could not rotate its log under read-only `~/.config`; redirecting `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` to `/tmp` fixed it. Final audits, timings, hash runs, crossings, captures, build, and six traces passed. No run exceeded 30 minutes.

+# Linux 110 — open-air tunnel shell
+
+Candidate evaluator v257, source stamp `04e9180521ab0963da5f1cabbf7c4646e32311edf1439c2dea514d3a61e7e464`.
+
+## Cause and fix
+
+The bands are the end profiles of per-control-span shell capsules. The affected 452.408 m open-air section touches 50 control spans: chord lengths are 8.520–10.076 m (median 9.353 m, mean 9.324 m). The visible band pitch follows that roughly 9.35 m span spacing. Radius delta is 0 across those spans, and the floor depth is constant, so radius/floor interpolation does not explain it. The 8 m tiles, 0.25 m voxels, and 0.75 m shell do not match the period. The pattern remains with tile skirts off; wall relief is unchanged. The chord/Catmull mismatch is not the periodic source.
+
+The shell now smooth-unions adjacent spans over 6 m and reuses the chord distance already calculated for the passage interior. A 0.60 m shell clearance fades in from 5 m to 20 m from each mouth. Interior carving still takes precedence, and the shell is written only into host air. The repeated bands are removed from the exposed shell close-ups. Regular faceting on tunnel-facing interior walls remains visible in both L109 and v257 station captures.
+
+## Captures
+
+The [capture index](captures/INDEX.md) flags every **OPEN AIR** view. The [verification](captures/capture-verification.json) passes all 106 images: per before/after set, 6 mouths, 9 stations, 27 open-air views, and 11 open-air close-ups. All 22 close-ups have a measured 4.000 m standoff. Nine images in each set are marked low contrast, with visible geometry. Paired bytes changed in 24/27 open-air views, 10/11 close-ups, 4/6 mouths, and 1/9 stations.
+
+The [contact sheets](captures/contact-sheets/INDEX.md) cover all views. The target 4 m close-ups are [before 1](captures/before/passage-0-1-0-openair-4-closeup-1.png), [after 1](captures/after/passage-0-1-0-openair-4-closeup-1.png), [before 2](captures/before/passage-0-1-0-openair-4-closeup-2.png), [after 2](captures/after/passage-0-1-0-openair-4-closeup-2.png), [before 3](captures/before/passage-0-1-0-openair-4-closeup-3.png), and [after 3](captures/after/passage-0-1-0-openair-4-closeup-3.png).
+
+## Readiness
+
+Five interleaved L80 pairs per cell; times are medians in seconds (`LOD0–2 near-ready / whole-view-ready`). All base/candidate tile counts matched.
+
+| Strate | W8 near | W8 whole | W12 near | W12 whole |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| SW | 0.778 → 0.854 (+9.7%) | 1.767 → 1.829 (+3.5%) | 0.807 → 0.906 (+12.3%) | 1.722 → 1.843 (+7.0%) |
+| FI | 0.937 → 1.010 (+7.8%) | 1.811 → 1.903 (+5.1%) | 0.883 → 0.995 (+12.6%) | 1.700 → 1.798 (+5.8%) |
+| TN | 0.979 → 1.090 (+11.4%) | 1.806 → 1.932 (+7.0%) | 0.920 → 1.006 (+9.3%) | 1.709 → 1.790 (+4.7%) |
+| VS | 0.797 → 0.871 (+9.2%) | 1.699 → 1.765 (+3.9%) | 0.758 → 0.835 (+10.2%) | 1.575 → 1.659 (+5.3%) |
+
+## Checks
+
+- Owner four-strata walk audit: all 3 interfaces pass; zero blocked, unsupported, or grade-failure samples. Shell audit: 89,365 floor, 8,423 wall, and 10,527 interior samples; zero violations; 22,755 open-air shell samples.
+- Clang/GCC determinism: all 18 W1/W8/W12 hash runs match across owner4 Surface World, owner2 Surface World, and owner2 Floating Islands.
+- Fast tier: PASS, 259 checks plus 5 diagnostic-only results; no failed gates.
+- Linux VFHostEditor: PASS, 27 actions, 69.0 s, `-NoUBA -MaxParallelActions=4`. Unreal was run without `prlimit`.
+- `git diff --check`: PASS. No run exceeded 30 minutes.
+
+## Failed experiments
+
+A clearance ramp delayed to 80–120 m left 6 owner2 wall samples uncovered. A 1.2 m mouth join produced 23 wall violations. Both were rejected; the final 6 m join with the 5–20 m clearance ramp passes owner2 and owner4 audits.
