wip(L16, side branch): disk terrain cache design + headless Linux prototype

Exact lossless zlib tile records (keyed on world/season/recipe/plan/evaluator/options/tile),
pristine cache plus ordered edits, server never trusts client caches, corruption/stale rejection,
atomic writes, 2 GB cap. Loaded tiles match regenerated hashes (L1 view, 24 m crossing).
NOT for assembler/world yet: the shared StreamBenchmarkPipeline.h includes Linux-only headers
(unistd/fcntl/zlib), which would break the Windows viewer build.

Per-column `OverhangAmp`(=strength·slope-gate) + unit uphill dir `(DirX,DirY)` are resolved once in `ComputeSurfaceColumn` — the gradient sampled at the REACH scale (`OverhangReach`) so a point out over the void can "see" the cliff to know which way is uphill — and cached on `FSurfaceColumn`. It's genuine 3D (per-voxel structural re-eval), so it's gated hard to steep overhang columns; the union only ADDS rock (never removes), capped at `TerrainZ+OverhangHeight`, so `ClassifyTile` forces Mixed only in `(TerrainZ, TerrainZ+OverhangMargin]` (upward-only; margin = max `OverhangHeight`) — a shelf never holes a trivially-skipped tile, and only the thin cliff-edge band of air tiles is woken (NOT far-field like phase-3 spikes/holes). Overhang undersides classify as ground rock by the F17 rule (down-facing but below `TerrainZ`). Known v1 limit: applies at all LODs (Step-agnostic) — may alias far; gate to fine tiles later. Beaches at water line, high sky-cap ceiling. The cap is shapeable terrain in its own right (`ComputeSurfaceCeiling`, `Surface|Sky` params: `CeilingUndulation` broad inverted hills/valleys, `CeilingRidgeStrength` hanging ridgelines, `CeilingRoughness`+freq fine bumps, `CeilingWarp*`) — defaults (strengths 0, freq 0.04) = old flat-ish cap. (`Surface|Macro` params = the cheap precursor to biomes; `ReliefStrength=0` ⇒ old uniform terrain.) **Sky-cap vs ground is a PER-TRIANGLE surface class (F17), not a per-tile verdict**: the mesher classifies each unique vertex on the **worker** — only down-facing verts (`N.Z<-0.1`) pay a memoized `GetSurfaceHeightAt` column query; nearer `CeilSurf` ⇒ sky-cap, nearer `TerrainZ` ⇒ terrain overhang stays ground (a future SurfaceWorld cave roof — down-facing but below `TerrainZ` — also lands ground by the same rule; non-surface strates always ground). Triangles take the majority class of their 3 verts and are packed as **two contiguous index runs** (ground then cap, `FVoxelMeshData::NumCeilingTriangles`; skirts inherit their source triangle's run) → RMC **polygroups 0/1** → one **section per non-empty group** (`ApplyMeshToTile`, material slot = group index): slot 0 = strate `OverrideMaterial`/default (min-corner chunk), slot 1 = `CeilingMaterial` resolved at the tile's **TOP chunk** (mid as gap fallback, then min; fallback: ground material) — a coarse tile is 2^level chunks tall, so its min corner can sit in a lower strate/gap while the cap belongs to the strate above (this was the "far cap = ground material" residue), so the shadowless overhead rock is tinted separately instead of reading flat/bright. Shadow is **per section** via `FRealtimeMeshSectionConfig::bCastsShadow` (NOT the component `SetCastShadow` — RMC's proxy ignores the component flag; this is also why level≥2 far tiles only stopped casting once the section flag was wired): ground casts at level≤1, the cap section never casts, so the rock ceiling never shadows the terrain below it. History: v1 was a game-thread centre height-oracle (misclassified coarse far tiles → terrain material on the cap underside); v2 a whole-tile worker normal VOTE — which painted **mixed coarse tiles** (one far tile spanning terrain AND cap) entirely with the winner's material, and put sky material under terrain overhangs. The per-triangle class fixes both and is the identity channel caves/F8 will reuse. |

-### 8.37 Shared strate boundaries and FloatingIslands lower seal — World Assembler L18
-
-`FStandaloneShapeWorld::GetResolvedStratumBounds` supplies one physical lower/upper-bound descriptor
-to layer ranges, far-field sample protection, and far-shell continuity for every strate. SurfaceWorld
-retains its exact `topChunkZ * 32` Core-voxel mapping and native heightfield cap. Native FloatingIslands
-takes its resolved bounds from its plan, whose chunk range is converted through the serialized
-owner/Core voxel ratio. Its version-3 field removes only the lower all-XY seal and calls the same
-`VF_ApplyUpperBoundarySeal` primitive used by the shared two-sided `VF_ApplyBoundarySeal` for its upper
-boundary. The ceiling therefore sits at that strate's own upper boundary, with the common
-`boundarySealSubvoxels` thickness; there is no FloatingIslands-specific height. The recipe range is
-un-inset to match the Unreal adapter. Versions 1 and 2 retain their serialized two-sided seals.
-SurfaceWorld's field and output hashes remain unchanged. See

-### 8.38 Closed shared boundary ceilings and LOD sampling audit — World Assembler L19
-
-`AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings` fills a candidate cell when the authoritative field is solid just
-inside that strate's configured upper boundary. It does not require the raw field to cross back to
-air above the boundary: the ceiling itself closes the strate even when the field continues solid
-through that plane. This avoids isolated holes where a coarse lattice node has no zero crossing.
-`FFarMeshColumnIndex::HasDownwardCellCoverage` still suppresses a fallback quad only after its
-interior and perimeter probes all hit the existing downward face. The L19 `farHorizonVersion` is 4
-for this shared boundary-cap change; hashes remain direct at LOD0–3 and salted at LOD4–8. No density

-### 8.39 Resolved layout snapshots and nominal strate bands — World Assembler L21 (historical)
-
-`ResolvedLayoutSnapshotV1` is a separate Core-owned record built from the resolved manager slots and
-the native SurfaceWorld/FloatingIslands plans. It has a canonical JSON representation, schema version,
-and stable FNV-1a identity. Its physical intervals use half-open micrometre coordinates; recipe anchors
-retain their serialized fixed-point units. The Unreal adapter exports it beside `world_assembly`, so the
-layout digest never salts a recipe, manifest, density, or mesh hash. The standalone exporter follows
-the same builder after plan resolution. It runs once per plan request and is not read from density or
-tile-worker loops.
-
-Each record separates the nominal ceiling, content, and bedrock bands. A strict layout requires that
-sequence for every strate and requires bedrock(N) to touch the next strate's ceiling(N+1). The two
-bands remain separately owned. Gradient and Interleaved interfaces may declare interpenetration only
-inside their explicit transition zone; Hard has zero effective width. The manager's `TransitionBlendChunks`
-is expressed in owner-chunk metres. Interleaved's existing two-chunk domain warp extends its possible
-fingers beyond the blend width and is recorded separately. Compatibility validation reports current
-gaps, overlaps, ambiguities, inactive/missing bands, and unhonoured transitions while accepting them;
-strict validation rejects them. Core dispatches per-strate recipe fields without applying that
-parameter blend, even though the legacy manager helper implements it. Both band types default diggable,
-with protection represented explicitly.
-
-Compatibility facts from L21: native SurfaceWorld plan/query bounds use 32 Core voxels (8 m) per
-dispatch chunk, while FloatingIslands converts the 32-voxel owner chunk through its 12.5/25 cm scale
-(16 Core voxels, 4 m). In the prototype where the top slot is FloatingIslands, this leaves a nominal
-60 m interval between the FI bottom (−60 m) and SurfaceWorld top (−120 m); the Core selectors fall
-through to the compiled analytic FloatingIslands fallback there. Core does not apply the manager's
-parameter blend at either recipe boundary. The FI v3 upper seal remains a ceiling inside its current
-content range, and its missing lower bedrock is recorded without changing evaluation. See
-[`Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Linux21/REPORT.md`](Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Linux21/REPORT.md).

-### 8.40 Fixed-metre strate layout units and shared boundary volumes — World Assembler L22
-
-`StrateLayoutChunkSizeMeters` is one world-level setting, defaulting to **8 m**, independent of the
-legacy 32-voxel chunk and Core's 32³ storage tile. The director resolves the setting once to physical
-micrometres and Core subvoxels; every generator plan and dispatch reads that snapshot. At a 25 cm Core
-voxel, an 8 m layout chunk is 32 Core voxels (8192 1/256-voxel units); at 20 cm it is 40 Core voxels
-(10240 units). The Core tile remains 32³ voxels and is not a layout chunk.
-
-The owner's FI/SW intervals are contiguous: FloatingIslands occupies [−120,+8) m and SurfaceWorld
-occupies [−632,−120) m. Each strate is ceiling → content → bedrock. Both solid, diggable boundary
-bands use its generator's existing `BoundarySealThickness` and `BaseDensity`; `InterStrateGapChunks`
-controls only spacing, and `EdgeSealThickness` remains horizontal. No new thickness parameter or hidden
-band height was added. The shared composition layer emits both volumes for every generator and the
-shared mesh path closes their visible ceiling and floor faces.
-
-The snapshot is schema V2 and is consumed by bounds planning, native and legacy dispatch, solid-band
-composition, and validation. Strict validation accepts the real owner layouts, and the boundary probe
-audit agrees at all 27 sampled endpoints in both recipe modes. The owner authored Gradient transition
-is recorded as an explicit Hard fallback with zero interpenetration; Gradient and Interleaved mixing
-remain unimplemented and must not be inferred from the declared blend width. Seven validator negative
-controls continue to reject malformed bands.

-### 8.41 Director-resolved inter-strate passages and walkable landings — World Assembler L23
-
-Core passage geometry is derived after the director has resolved physical strate bands and native
-route anchors. `PlanResolvedLayoutPassagesV1` joins every adjacent resolved pair. Its placement hash
-uses `(seed, upper strate, lower strate, connection, salt)`; `PassageConfig.DistanceMax` is the
-outer radius around world `(0,0)` (24 m for the owner's first interface), while `DistanceMin` is
-the inner radius used when a mouth has no route anchor. A route-bound mouth reuses the upper
-strate's departure or lower strate's arrival anchor, after checking it lies within `DistanceMax`.
-The legacy `UVoxelStrateManager::GeneratePassages` and its owner-voxel control points remain the
-legacy generator path; Core does not import the exported legacy `passages` array. The season
-manifest carries recipes and plans, and the adapter rebuilds the resolved layout and its passages
-from the current manager slots and route anchors each time it attaches the Core world.
-
-`ApplyResolvedStrateComposition` composes the current generator field, applies the resolved ceiling
-and bedrock bands, then unions the passage carve and floor support. Only the hashed capsule path
-opens a band; the support strip stays below the player capsule. The lower mouth index splits the
-monotone descent from the short route-bound landing tail, whose height may vary with the route.
-Both route and passage audits sample the 0.34 m by 1.76 m capsule, support probes, and grade; the
-negative control compiles the same world without passage carving and must detect a blocked capsule.
-The L23 shared-field change is `WorldAssemblyEvaluatorVersion=9`. It does not change the L22 bands
-or any generator's field away from a passage. The L23 report includes exact-query/hash comparisons,
-the blocked control, captures, and the Windows adapter checklist. §8.10's cache, proof, streaming,

-### 8.42 Per-strate natural passages and the FloatingIslands anchor helix — World Assembler L24
-
-`FStratePassageConfig.Style` now drives the shared Core planner for every generator. The default is
-`Worm`; Straight, Spiral and Cascading remain selectable per upper strate. Passage radius, reach,
-distance and style stay in the resolved-layout input, so equal seeds and route anchors produce equal
-paths on every peer. The passage carver adds bounded, deterministic wall relief (`0.24 m` before the
-gravity-facing attenuation) while its support tread follows the same route profile below the capsule.
-
-FloatingIslands' owner config selects Spiral. A seed-derived anchor island near `(0,0)` is joined to
-bedrock by a 6 m radius rock root. The 3 m helix descends from the island mouth to the `-119.5 m`
-bedrock top inside that root, leaving at least the authored clearance around its 1.5 m bore, then
-widens into the Worm route toward the SurfaceWorld arrival. The selected anchor is ordinal 2; the
-other island ordinals and their placement hashes are unchanged. FloatingIslands recipe geometry is
-version 5 and the shared passage evaluator is version 10; the resolved-layout snapshot stays V3.
-
-The passage naturalness audit rejects a horizontal run above 8 m (segments flatter than 0.5 degrees)
-or wall relief below 0.20 m peak-to-peak across at least 8 valid samples. The smooth-wall control
-has zero relief and fails; the anchored Spiral has 0 m flat run and 0.793 m measured relief. Strict
-layout controls, route binding, capsule clearance, support, grade, and the no-carve negative control
-remain required. Passage-centered interval proofs remain unknown/fallback rather than falsely
-certified. At the lower mouth, the shared layer now relies on native terrain plus the passage tread;
-it does not stamp additional flat route-anchor shelves over the cave opening. The L24 report records
-compiler/worker parity, unchanged SurfaceWorld hashes away from the route, captures and the Windows
-adapter checklist.
-
-The Linux offscreen capture tool accepts `--headlamp=on` to aim brighter readable shading from the
-camera for interior views and `--clip-plane=NX,NY,NZ,D` to discard the plane's negative half-space for
-cutaway views. Both affect captures only, not generated geometry.

-
-### 8.43 Enclosed FloatingIslands helix and native-solid passage support — World Assembler L25
-
-L24's support tread was composited into the passage field without requiring native solid terrain at
-the support sample. A 6 m root could not contain the resolved helix either: the centreline reaches
-5.562 m from the anchor axis and the mouth bore is 4.5 m. With the old root radius, the tread could
-therefore read as a free-floating spiral outside the rock. This was not a unit conversion error.
-
-The shared passage composer now emits route-mouth support, tread, and fallback support only where
-the pre-passage native density is solid. The open-air audit samples each support footprint at 0.25 m
-spacing and two depths, including route-mouth shelves; its L24 ungated-support control must report a
-violation. The FI anchor root is now a relief-bearing 13.25 m nominal rock column. Across five
-heights its measured radius is 12.0–13.375 m. Taking the maximum 5.562 m centreline radius and the
-full 4.5 m mouth bore at every height gives a conservative minimum wall of 1.938 m, exceeding the
-previous 1.5 m reserve. The authored mid-bore remains 3 m. The helix is selected from its route-bound
-root point and joins the lower route before the tunnel hands off through the shared SW ceiling.
-
-The configured FI Spiral passes the capsule/support/grade audit with zero blocked, unsupported, or
-grade-failure samples; the L23 smooth-wall control fails naturalness and the L24 ungated-support
-control fails the open-air audit. The other style overrides also pass the open-air audit, but their
-capsule results are recorded individually in the L25 report because some overrides are not
-walkable after floating support is suppressed. Evaluator version is 12, FI geometry version is 7,
-and resolved-layout schema V3 remains unchanged. The L25 report records measurements, hashes,
-captures, style results, and the single Unreal adapter version edit.

-### 8.44 Walkable passages as tunnels in rock — World Assembler L26
-
-L25 correctly stopped support from appearing in native air, but its SurfaceWorld-recipe passages
-still crossed a long open volume in the SurfaceWorld arrival strata. The segment map places that gap
-inside SurfaceWorld (about `-146` to `-497 m`), after the TunnelNetwork transition; it is not TunnelNetwork
-cave air. Both ends meet native rock. The shared Core planner now finds contiguous unsupported ranges
-from the native field sign and caches them by resolved-layout identity. It adds a deterministic,
-relief-bearing rock span only across those ranges. The span is at least 5 m wide, several metres thick,
-and joins native rock at both ends. The passage carve then opens the bore through the added density,
-leaving a grounded floor and rock walls/ceiling. SurfaceWorld away from the passage remains unchanged.
-
-Native route support remains gated on pre-passage solid density. Before adding any support density, the
-composer also checks the resolved player capsule, so neighboring floor segments cannot restore rock
-inside the avatar path. This keeps all four style overrides walkable in both recipes. The bridge audit
-measures its authored density field at 256 route sections, checks the 5 m width and connected ends, and
-records a relief-bearing thickness range; the open-air audit still runs the L24 negative control.
-
-The shared evaluator is version 13; FloatingIslands geometry remains version 7 and resolved-layout
-schema V3 is unchanged. These changes are in Core and the standalone audit/capture path; no Unreal
-adapter edit is required. The L26 report contains the eight-style table, hashes, captures and run history.

-### 8.45 Tile-bounded passage evaluation — World Assembler M3 Linux L28
-
-Each mesh tile scopes passage composition to the inclusive density-sample AABB, including the
-mesher's normal halo. A conservative feature AABB BVH selects route segments, columns and mouth
-support for that tile. A per-passage nearest-segment BVH bounds the long helix search; a separate
-passage-bound BVH rejects far L9 proof boxes. An unindexed native-only proof object uses a conservative
-linear fallback. No field, union order, serialized layout or recipe version changes.
-
-The column's exact complex SDF is evaluated only in XY/Z feature candidates. A cheap density-aware
-radial guard remains for samples sharing the column's Z slab: a positive column distance can still
-lower positive base density, so skipping that guard needs an exact bound on the base field. This is
-the remaining SurfaceWorld cost noted in the Linux L28 report. The passage candidate lists and
-proof bounds preserve the L27 output.

Parity can render its game leg with `-EnableRender` and compares the selected export region against the exact streamed tile hashes. `visual-gap-walk` records camera-frustum surface-point coverage at 6000 cm/s; `visual-gap-inject` proves an early component hide is detected; `dig-motion` logs per-frame vertical velocity, gate, support readiness, and movement mode. `-Cvars @{ 'voxel.TestGapAuditLegacyHandoff'=1 }` replays the old visibility handoff for A/B audit baselines. Horizon traces report desired/loaded tiles, resident stream geometry, worker seconds, steady wall time, and peak private memory; `horizon-render` captures the owner view; `step2f-capture` selects one of eight parameter sets, finds a positive-density camera point and aims at a sampled rock wall for an inside or wall-closeup view, then saves it under `Saved/Research/step2f/captures` (pass the persistent render DDC with `-SharedDDC`); `determinism` compares per-tile hashes across the default CRT path and `-voxel.CrtFma3=0`; `region-eval` compares the live path with the default-off editor chunk program on the 259³ lattice and five-seed probe set; `step2d` retains the earlier independent field; `step2e` retains its earlier benchmark; `step2f` compares frozen step 2e and the coherent field for all eight profiles on the same 259³ ring, applies geometry gates, and checks sound bounds, seams, and 1-vs-6-worker hashes. `-RegionHashProbe -RegionWorkers N -RegionReferenceHash HASH` checks a full-ring hash at another partition count. `-SampleDensityStacks` captures profiles, and `-StackSampleIntervalUs` sets the sampling interval.

The cached medians are 7.347496 s and 1.169567 s respectively; determinism and brick sound-proof audits pass. `step3-game` routes in-game generation through the brick evaluator and records tile timings, spawn fill, moving frames, and profile-switch rebuilds. The visible D3D12 run measured tile generation p50/p95/max 3.326/31.045/169.867 ms, full-detail L0 fill 12.369 s for 2,765 tiles, and moving-frame p50/p95/p99/max 4.856/8.922/13.090/80.575 ms. Switching profiles rebuilt 5,815 loaded tiles. Both high-resolution screenshot requests were logged, but the harness found only one fresh PNG and it is a blank pale viewport; no lit comparison capture is accepted.

The original path still compares live `GetDensityAt` with the editor chunk program. Research modes assign contiguous batches dynamically so surface-heavy work balances across workers; steps 2e and 2f use 4³ proof bricks and stage each evaluated brick before copying contiguous X rows, while step 2d retains 8³. Each skip requires a macro Lipschitz bound plus the complete final-detail supremum; uncertain bricks retain every 12.5 cm detail sample. Timings split classification, point evaluation, and uniform fill; step 2f compares all profiles and hashes workers 1 and 6. |

Step 2f retains a metre-scaled 2e baseline for its rejection audit. New profiles use strongly jittered, individually rotated elliptical rooms capped against nearest neighbors and curved cubic-Bezier passages with deterministic centerline and width variation along each edge. Room heights and feature rolls vary by cell; ledges, occasional pillars, stalactites/stalagmites, basin floors, and bounded hanging masses remain features. Point and brick detail sampling share independently rotated 96/48/24-sample bands and a smooth ridge response, preserving 12/6/3 m wavelengths at 12.5 cm per sample. The parameterized mesher evaluates the exact field through prepared 4³ bricks and the same sound skip proof in commandlet and editor-game meshing. In-editor and in-game profile changes invalidate and rebuild all loaded tiles. In an editor game with this field enabled, sealed-solid, out-of-layout, and outer-classifier verdicts are declined without changing their console switches. |

-**Design round L20 — 2026-10-20**

-## Summary
-
-Author strate layout in metres and give each strate a voxel size. Keep Core's internal tile at 32³
-voxels; its physical width follows that strate's voxel size and the tile's LOD. Use one director to
-resolve the season, layout, seed, generator recipe, resolution, and interfaces before workers start.
-Generators then evaluate an immutable, common field contract. A shared composition layer applies
-strata boundaries, gaps, seals, edits, caches, and proofs. The mesher consumes that composed field
-and generic surface hints; it should not branch on SurfaceWorld, FloatingIslands, or feature type IDs.
-
-The code already has parts of this shape, but not the boundaries between them. In particular,
-`FStandaloneShapeWorld` is both a dispatch layer and a collection of field adapters, while
-`World::generateTile` contains generator-aware far-surface and feature refinement. The Unreal
-adapter currently translates two different meanings of “chunk” into Core coordinates.
-
-The L19 ledges are not explained by a different density recipe per LOD. The ring audit found
-upward-facing terrain from the same lower SurfaceWorld field at different extracted heights on
-adjacent LODs. At the default 25 cm Core voxel size, LOD1, LOD2, and LOD3 sample at 0.5 m, 1 m,
-and 2 m. The maximum LOD1→2 ring difference is 1.49862 m; LOD2→3 reaches 7.73318 m, with 8
-no-hit samples among 308. An explicit shared surface contract can give all LODs common boundary
-geometry and a controlled transition band. A planar ceiling alone will not fix these ground ledges.
-
-One conversion issue needs an explicit preservation target. The current Core path maps one
-SurfaceWorld slot chunk to 32 Core voxels (8 m at 25 cm), but one FloatingIslands slot chunk to
-32 owner voxels at 12.5 cm (4 m). Converting each current interpretation independently into metres
-can preserve each field's current positions, but it does not make shared chunk indices one common
-physical boundary. The converter must record the actual per-strate bounds and any resulting gap or
-overlap before choosing a unified interface. Do not promise a no-movement migration from a single
-global “metres per chunk” constant.
-
-Metres are not a runtime cost concern. Resolution is. Halving voxel spacing in all three axes means
-about eight times as many density samples for the same physical volume, plus more tiles, queue work,
-and cache entries because each internal tile remains 32³ voxels. With 25 cm as the default for all
-strates, the proposed starting resolution matches today's Core sampling resolution.
-
-## 1. Current code mapped to the three layers
-
-There is no single class called “director” today. The director work is split between Unreal's
-season/layout code, the Core adapter, and Core's tile scheduler.
-
-| Intended layer | Current location and symbols | Current responsibility and boundary issue |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Director / orchestrator** | `VoxelStrateComposer.cpp`; `VoxelSeasonManifest.cpp`; `VoxelStrateManager.cpp` (`Initialize`, `GetGeneratorTypeForChunk`, `GetGenerationParams`); `VoxelWorld.cpp` (`BuildDesiredTiles`, tile scheduling, epochs); `VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp` (`BuildSurfaceStratumPlan`, `BuildFloatingIslandStratumPlan`, `AttachValidatedWorldAssembly`) | Composes season params and stacked slots, resolves generator kind and seed, and serializes the Core snapshot. `WorldAssemblyManifest`, `WorldAssemblyPlanV1`, and their `FromJson`/`finalize`/`validate` functions in `WorldAssemblerInternal.h` are the current plan/manifest format. Resolution and bounds are not fully resolved here: Core re-derives them using generator-specific conversions. `TopWorldZ`, `BottomWorldZ`, `HeightInChunks`, and `InterStrateGapChunks` remain chunk/voxel-coordinate based in owner-facing data. |
-| **Generators** | SurfaceWorld: `Heightfield2D` in `VoxelForgeCore.h` and `WorldAssemblerInternal.h`; plan construction in `VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp`. FloatingIslands: `FloatingIslandFieldV1` in `VoxelForgeCore.h` and `FloatingIslandsInternal.h`; plan construction in the adapter. Legacy: `UVoxelGenerator::GetDensityAt` in `VoxelGenerator.cpp`, `VoxelDensityOpStack.cpp`, and `VoxelCaveMorphology.cpp`. | SurfaceWorld and FloatingIslands have distinct plan and evaluator APIs. Legacy generation still asks the manager for the current chunk's params and generator type. In Core, the “generator” boundary is obscured by `FStandaloneShapeWorld`, which selects native fields or falls back to the copied owner generator. |
-| **Shared field / composition library** | Noise and fixed-point evaluation: `WorldAssemblerInternal.h`, `FloatingIslandsInternal.h`. CPU/HLSL far-field math: `VoxelForgeFieldShared.h`. FP contract: `CoreNamespacePreamble.h`. Feature culling and caches: `BuildWorldAssemblyFeatureTileListV1`, `ScopedWorldAssemblyFeatureQueriesV1`, `SharedColumnCache.h`, `ThreadLocalStorage.h`. Field bounds/proofs: `Heightfield2D::interval`, FloatingIslands bounds, `FStandaloneShapeWorld::ClassifyBoxDetailed` and `BuildShapeDependencyProof`. Density seals: `VoxelDensityPrimitives.h`. | Useful shared pieces exist, but only for subsets of recipes. Noise is not one library used by every legacy and native generator. Bounds, density, and output identity still use subvoxels of a Core voxel. The canonical stratum bounds descriptor `FResolvedStratumBounds` is private to `ShapeWorldInternal.h`, not part of the plan contract. `AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings` is under far-shell/meshing code, even though the boundary meaning is shared composition policy. |
-| **Mesher** | `UVoxelMarchingCubesMesher::GenerateMesh` in `VoxelMarchingCubesMesher.cpp`; dispatch and mesh assembly in `World::generateTile` in `VoxelForgeCore.cpp`; `FarShellsInternal.h`; hybrid sharp support in `VoxelHybridSharpMesher.h` and `VoxelMarchingCubesMesher.cpp`. | MC, skirts, far shells, connector repair panels, LOD refinement, and cap repair are spread across the production mesher and Core tile builder. `World::generateTile` scans recipe feature type IDs, refines type-4 shelves only at LOD0–2, selects a native SurfaceWorld horizon, and invokes separate ground/cap repair. `FStandaloneShapeWorld::BuildFarFieldTileInput` constructs FloatingIslands connector panels. These are recipe-aware mesh paths. |
-
-### What crosses a boundary today that should not
-
-- `FStandaloneShapeWorld` reads `UVoxelStrateManager`, `FStrateSlot`, `WorldAssemblyManifest`, legacy
-  generator params, and generator type. It selects a recipe, evaluates a field, resolves its bounds,
-  applies a seal, and builds GPU far-field input. That combines director, generator adapter, shared
-  field, and renderer responsibilities.
-- `World::generateTile` knows `WorldAssemblyPlanV1`, SurfaceWorld heightfields, feature numeric IDs,
-  and FloatingIslands presence. The generic mesher should receive capabilities and surface data,
-  not know those recipe identities.
-- The adapter exports one layout but encodes physical positions in `WorldAssemblySubvoxelsPerVoxel`.
-  That makes a physical length's fixed integer depend on the selected Core voxel size.
-- Core `WorldAssemblyStratumPlanV1` carries `topChunkZ`/`bottomChunkZ`; validation in
-  `WorldAssemblerInternal.h` multiplies those values by `32`. FloatingIslands additionally stores
-  its own owner-to-Core size ratio and metric-equivalent bounds in Core-voxel units.
-- The Core boundary path calls `GetResolvedStratumBounds` differently for SurfaceWorld and
-  FloatingIslands. The director should resolve a single physical boundary record once.
-- Legacy density still reaches into manager-owned params and operations. It must become a generator
-  adapter that consumes the same resolved request as a native recipe, or remain explicitly marked as
-  a compatibility route until it can be ported.
-
-## 2. Violations, ranked by risk
-
-Rank 1 is the highest risk to correct physical layout and cross-LOD output.
-
-| Rank | Risk | Violation and evidence | Why it matters |
-|---:|---|---|---|
-| 1 | **Critical** | **No single physical bounds/interface contract.** `FResolvedStratumBounds` in `ShapeWorldInternal.h` derives SurfaceWorld bounds from `Slot.*ChunkZ × 32`, but derives native FloatingIslands bounds from `layout*ZSubvoxels` and an owner/Core scale ratio. `GetResolvedStratumBounds` is then reused by field classification, far-field protection, and far ceiling generation. | A shared logical slot boundary can map to different metre positions depending on generator. This can make an apparent seam a gap, overlap, or misplaced terrain surface before the mesher samples it. It also makes “preserve the old heights” ambiguous unless the old per-field physical bounds are recorded. |
-| 2 | **Critical** | **LOD extraction has no required shared surface representation.** `World::generateTile` uses normal MC sampling for LOD1–3; native SurfaceWorld ground refinement is only invoked at LOD4+. L19's strict ring probe excludes skirts and masked triangles and measured 149.862 cm max at LOD1→2 and 773.318 cm max at LOD2→3. | A coordinate-stable density function does not guarantee equal extracted surfaces when sample grids differ. Thin seals can be skipped, and a heightfield root can shift with coarse XY/Z samples. This is the measured ledge failure. |
-| 3 | **High** | **Chunk, owner-voxel, Core-voxel, and fixed-point units are mixed.** `WorldAssemblyFixed` in the Unreal adapter serializes lengths as 1/256 Core voxel. SurfaceWorld plan bounds use `Slot.BottomChunkZ * 32` and `(TopChunkZ-BottomChunkZ+1)*32`. FloatingIslands uses `32 × ownerToCoreScaleNumerator / denominator`. `ShapeWorldInternal.h` reverses Core Z to legacy chunk coordinates with `/ GetCoreVoxelsPerOwnerChunk()`. | A parameter's physical interpretation depends on generator and runtime Core size. `/32`, `*32`, and scale-ratio logic are reasonable only in a single boundary adapter or for the internal fixed tile; they are incorrect as the authored layout contract. |
-| 4 | **High** | **The Unreal adapter and manager both resolve the same layout.** `VoxelStrateManager.cpp` creates chunk slots and per-generator runtime params; `VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp` re-reads those params and builds distinct native plans; `ShapeWorldInternal.h` maps Core samples back through the manager again. `WorldAssemblyStratumPlanV1::topChunkZ/bottomChunkZ` are checked against the manager in `AttachValidatedWorldAssembly`. | The runtime can validate matching integer slots without validating that the resulting physical bounds mean the same thing for both generators. The future adapter should serialize already-resolved metres and per-strate resolution. |
-| 5 | **High** | **Generators read director state.** Legacy `UVoxelGenerator::GetDensityAt` asks the manager for type/params and builds/refetches operator stacks. Core native lookup also asks the manager which generator applies at a Core sample. | The generator cannot be a pure evaluator of a resolved recipe. It is hard to cache, audit, or replay independently, and unit conversion is repeated in worker code. |
-| 6 | **High** | **Boundary behavior is split between recipe and shared paths.** FloatingIslands geometry v3 special-cases top seal evaluation in `NativeFloatingIslandDensityAt`; older geometry versions retain two-sided seals. `VF_ApplyBoundarySeal`/`VF_ApplyUpperBoundarySeal` provide shared density math, while `AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings` separately patches missing mesh coverage. SurfaceWorld also owns a heightfield cap. | Density closure, boundary ownership, and visible cap geometry can disagree. A shared operator alone does not guarantee a shared, LOD-stable surface. Preserve versioned historical fields during migration, then route new plans through one contract. |
-| 7 | **Medium-high** | **Mesher contains recipe policy.** `World::generateTile` has SurfaceWorld native-horizon selection, a SurfaceWorld-only far skip condition, type-2 sharp boxes, type-4 shelf refinement, separate native ground/cap refinement, and a `farHorizonVersion` identity. `ShapeWorldInternal.h` creates connector panel repairs from FloatingIslands. | A new recipe requires mesher edits and generator details leak into extraction. The mesher should consume explicit surfaces, generic feature constraints, and a requested error/refinement hint. |
-| 8 | **Medium-high** | **Legacy paths do not share the new generator format.** `UVoxelGenerator`, operator stacks, morphology caches, Core's native `Heightfield2D`, and `FloatingIslandFieldV1` have separate recipe/parameter routes. | “One generator format” is not yet true. A migration wrapper is needed so behavior can be ported in small, hash-checked steps instead of reimplementing all legacy archetypes at once. |
-| 9 | **Medium** | **Shared helpers and numeric policies are partial.** Core's FP preamble/self-test applies to Core translation units; fixed-point noise is implemented in assembler code, island noise is in a separate implementation, and far CPU/HLSL math has its own shared header. Feature bounds/caches are more reusable than the field interfaces. | Keep the tested Core determinism contract, but promote the shared numeric/noise primitives only where their exact semantics can be versioned. “Shared” code is not automatically cross-platform identical if separate float evaluators remain. |
-
-### Unit measurements relevant to migration
-
-`CHUNK_SIZE` is 32 and `VOXEL_SIZE` is 12.5 cm, so the owner's legacy chunk is 4 m
-([`VoxelTypes.h`](../Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelTypes.h), [`Round5`](Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Round5/REPORT.md)). The current default Core voxel is 25 cm. In the current native Core routes:
-
-| Route | Current conversion | Physical chunk width at default | Evidence |
-|---|---|---:|---|
-| SurfaceWorld | `32` Core voxels per slot chunk | 8 m | `BuildSurfaceStratumPlan` uses chunk bounds directly in Core voxel units; L18 records the preserved `topChunkZ × 32` mapping. |
-| FloatingIslands | `32 × 125000/250000 = 16` Core voxels per owner chunk | 4 m | `BuildFloatingIslandStratumPlan` serializes the ratio and applies it to layout bounds; `GetCoreVoxelsPerOwnerChunk` uses the same ratio. |
-
-This confirms the claimed factor of two. It does **not** prove that this conversion alone caused
-the L19 ring delta. L19 isolated the observed step to coarse extraction of lower SurfaceWorld
-terrain, and the reported LOD4+ horizon refiner cannot affect those LOD1→2 and LOD2→3 values.
-
-## 3. Generator contract and one-time interface handling
-
-### What the director resolves before generation
-
-The director should publish an immutable `ResolvedWorld` (exact type/schema is an implementation
-choice) containing:
-
-- a stable world/season identity and seed;
-- an ordered list of strates with a stable ID, generator kind and recipe version;
-- each strate's physical minimum and maximum bounds in metres, including height as their difference;
-- a voxel size in metres per strate (25 cm default for every strate);
-- route points, island anchors/connectors, and all top/bottom/ceiling positions in the same physical
-  coordinate space;
-- one resolved interface record per adjacent pair, including any explicit void, bedrock gap,
-  sealed contact, upper cap, passage, or open boundary;
-- any season-level values that affect world output, such as routes, islands, water datum, or biome
-  selection, already attached to their owning strate or interface;
-- a canonical identity over the sorted resolved layout, seed, resolution map, recipes, and interface
-  records.
-
-Do not make generators ask the director for the active `FStrateSlot`, chunk number, season, or
-neighbour generator while evaluating a point.
-
-### Request to every generator
-
-A worker request should give the generator:
-
-1. The immutable resolved recipe and stable stratum ID.
-2. Physical query/tile bounds in metres, including the exact halo requested by the mesher.
-3. The canonical sample coordinates or a clearly defined lattice origin and step. Voxel coordinates
-   are useful as an internal derived lattice, but metres/physical fixed units are the identity space.
-4. The resolved per-strate voxel size and seed. LOD can be included as a sampling hint; the canonical
-   field value itself must not change just because the caller chose another LOD.
-5. Read-only interface descriptors that touch the request bounds. Pass boundary records, not a
-   pointer back to the neighbour's manager or mutable generator.
-
-### Result from every generator
-
-The common result should provide a deterministic field evaluator and its declared capabilities:
-
-- signed density using one documented solid/air sign convention;
-- optional material or surface-class data;
-- conservative interval/classification proofs and conservative feature/influence bounds, or an
-  explicit “unknown, evaluate” result;
-- optional semantic 2D surfaces such as a ground heightfield or a cap, in physical coordinates;
-- a detail envelope / maximum safe sample spacing hint. It is a hint to generic LOD/refinement
-  policy, not permission for a recipe to choose its own mesh path;
-- generator/schema/evaluator versions for stable plan and output identity.
-
-Keep the established fail-open behavior: an unknown interval or influence bound causes evaluation,
-not a solid/air skip. Existing feature candidate lists and worker caches fit this contract as
-optimizations beneath the evaluator.
-
-### Interfaces, seals, caps, and voids belong to shared composition
-
-The director resolves the meaning and exact physical location of each interface once. The shared
-composition layer then combines generator fields and applies boundary semantics in a fixed order:
-
-1. Evaluate each generator only for its declared physical domain, retaining its ordinary
-   field/feature behavior.
-2. Apply the interface contract once: for example, a physically measured seal band, a cap surface,
-   open void, bedrock gap, or permitted passage. The contract declares ownership, sidedness, material
-   class, collision/support policy, and whether player edits may cut it. A gap is data, not an
-   accidental “no generator found” branch.
-3. Apply world edits through the canonical composed field, so both sides see the same edit in
-   physical space.
-4. Give the resulting field, proofs, and any explicit surfaces to the mesher.
-
-This centralizes the semantics currently spread across generator density wrappers,
-`FResolvedStratumBounds`, and `AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings`. Existing versioned manifests still
-need compatibility adapters: do not silently reinterpret old `boundarySealSubvoxels` values.
-
-For two different generator kinds that meet at a plane, both should reference the same stable
-interface ID and exact physical boundary. Their density fields can remain independent; shared
-composition owns the boundary rule. If the plan intentionally has open space between them, the
-resolved layout records that metre-valued interval explicitly.
-
-## 4. Why LOD changes thin features, and the interface surface contract
-
-MC samples density at lattice corners. A thin seal or cap can be narrower than one coarse cell, so
-the coarse grid may see no sign change at all. If it does see a crossing, interpolation uses the
-coarse cell's endpoint values; its root can differ from the finer grid's root. A shared analytic
-density function guarantees the same values at the same physical coordinates, not the same triangles
-from different sample grids.
-
-For a physical strate boundary, use an explicit surface descriptor with exact height/shape in metres
-and a globally stable sample phase. Every LOD must use common anchors along tile and LOD transition
-edges. The mesher can fill the interior at its chosen rate, then build a deterministic transition
-band from those common anchors into its coarser interior. A seal/cap should not rely on a sub-cell
-thin density strip surviving arbitrary MC sampling.
-
-For the L19 lower-ground ledge, the same rule needs a SurfaceWorld ground profile available to the
-mesher as semantic surface data. A shared planar boundary cap would only close the strate ceiling;
-it would not align these upward-facing ground triangles. The surface can be band-limited by LOD, but
-the adjacent LODs must share their transition samples and be checked against a physical error
-tolerance. If that cannot be met with a transition band, refine only the affected boundary tiles.
-
-The costs are extra boundary vertices/triangles and some CPU work to construct common transition
-strips. Collision/support must consume the same interface representation where that surface is
-collision-relevant. The owner would see caps and ledges hold one physical height as the camera moves
-between LODs, instead of steps or holes appearing at the ring. Authoring remains in metres; internal
-tile and transition details stay hidden.
-
-This is not free geometry, but it is bounded to boundaries and LOD transition bands. L19 has already
-shown why “add a thin density seal and sample it normally” is not a sufficient all-LOD guarantee.
-
-## 5. Keep the per-strate resolution door open
-
-Yes. A 25 cm per-strate default preserves the current Core sample spacing, and the common physical
-field coordinate contract leaves room for later different sizes. Do not enable mixed resolutions
-until the Round5 boundary contract is met:
-
-1. Canonical physical-space field queries and explicit ownership at a shared boundary.
-2. Deterministic transition meshes with common LOD ancestry on both resolutions.
-3. Physical-space edit rasterization/replay that reaches both grids exactly once, with no holes or
-   double application.
-4. A stable, canonically sorted strate-ID-to-size map included in plan/season identity and border
-   hashes.
-5. Streaming and collision rules for tiles that touch or span two resolutions.
-
-At today's one-size setting, the size map has one value (250,000 microns) for every strate. It adds
-no mixed-resolution mesh, edit, or streaming cost. Tile width remains `32 × voxel size × 2^LOD`;
-different future sizes change physical tile width and workload, but never change the 32³ internal
-tile format.
-
-## 6. Migration plan with “worlds don't move” checks
-
-The checkpoints distinguish expected equality from a deliberately changed interface mesh. A plan
-or schema identity can change even when field output remains equal; record both identities and mesh
-hashes separately.
-
-| Step | Work | Expected equality / check | Changes output? / Unreal PC? |
-|---:|---|---|---|
-| 0 | Freeze the L19 evidence as the baseline: W12, Clang with FP contraction off; retain the whole-view hashes, full-detail hashes, strict ceiling audit, captures, and FI/SW ring tables. | Baseline hashes recorded below; pin the protected SW LOD0–2 hashes too. Capture byte/pixel comparisons and ring samples must retain location, LOD, and skirt exclusion. | No. No new build needed for this design round. |
-| 1 | Add a versioned resolved-metre layout representation and a read-only conversion/audit path. The audit reports, per strate, old input units, resolved old physical bounds, new metre bounds, voxel size, interfaces, and identity. Keep the old evaluator active. | Exact old-vs-new resolved positions at all authored top, bottom, height, route, island, and cap anchors. Old Core density/mesh/payload/topology hashes remain equal where the conversion is exactly representable; otherwise list the precise quantization delta before accepting a new baseline. | No. Core parser/audit can be Linux-only; adapter export needs Unreal BuildHost on the owner's PC. |
-| 2 | Change owner-facing layout authoring and season serialization to metres. Convert each old slot using its **current resolved physical bounds**, not one global chunk multiplier. Represent any historical gap/overlap explicitly. Default each strate's voxel size to 25 cm. | Same physical top/bottom/height values and field anchors before/after. Run default W12 hashes and matched captures. The report must call out any interface whose two old generator bounds disagree instead of silently forcing them together. | Intended no. Touches `VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp`, `VoxelStrateManager`, season manifest/composer and likely `VoxelWorld`; compile and actor validation require the owner's Unreal PC. |
-| 3 | Add the common generator request/result contract and adapt `Heightfield2D` and `FloatingIslandFieldV1`; wrap the legacy `UVoxelGenerator` route without moving it yet. Move manager lookups out of evaluator calls in stages. | Per-strate exact density queries, proof classifications, full-detail hashes, whole-view hashes, W1/W8/W12 determinism, and generator-to-legacy route parity. Existing current output hashes remain equal for adapters that preserve their exact physical recipe. | No intended visual change. Unreal adapter/legacy wrappers need owner-PC UHT/build and actor validation; native Core pieces can be audited on Linux. |
-| 4 | Resolve interface records once in the director; route new seal, cap, void, bedrock-gap, and passage behavior through shared composition. Keep old manifest versions on compatibility adapters. | Preserve density hashes where only a mesh closure was missing. Run the strict LOD0–8 ceiling interior/perimeter audit, edge pairing, same-LOD border hashes, matched captures, and field proofs. Any newly closed boundary is a named expected mesh/payload/topology delta. | Affected boundary mesh may change. Adapter serialization needs owner-PC validation; Core audit can run here. This step fixes thin seals/caps, not the L19 ground ledges. |
-| 5 | Add the generic explicit-surface and LOD-transition contract. Feed SurfaceWorld ground-profile data into common transition bands; prototype on the measured FI/SW interface. | Produce before/after matched readable captures and full ring tables. Require zero no-hit interface samples and a chosen physical seam-error limit; retain L19 hash equality for unaffected tiles/LODs. For intended changes, list changed mesh/payload/topology hashes and keep density unchanged if the field itself is unchanged. | **This is the step that fixes the L19 ledges.** It changes protected SurfaceWorld LOD2 output, so implement only after the owner approves that specific output change. Unreal capture/collision review is on the owner's PC. |
-| 6 | Enable a per-strate size map behind the already-resolved contract, initially set to 25 cm on all strates. Add one non-default diagnostic size case only after the default remains green. | At all-25-cm map, reproduce the approved default hashes and captures. Include sorted size-map identity in a negative control; boundary/transition hashes must change when one size changes. Re-run edit-across-boundary, collision, streaming, and W1/W8/W12 checks. | No default change; non-default diagnostic intentionally changes sampling. Touches Unreal reflected settings, snapshot adapter, and world identity; full compile/run requires the owner's PC. |
-
-### L19 reference hashes
-
-Representative W12 Clang `-ffp-contract=off`, density / mesh / payload / topology:
-
-| Whole view | L19 hash |
-|---|---|
-| SurfaceWorld | `c10697a8f48380c7 / 4197fc1072f0ff58 / 7b3e616ec9459851 / c879e35592bf33e5` |
-| FloatingIslands | `00bc3607a7839854 / 4baa66127c2b0892 / e11ef05e851a1517 / 1278bc4b1fffb869` |
-
-Protected SurfaceWorld LOD0–2 hashes are in the L19 report and should be retained through steps
-1–4 except for explicitly approved boundary geometry. The whole-view hash gate alone cannot prove
-that a ring improved; step 5 needs the strict ring table and readable captures as well.
-
-### Owner decisions this design needs
-
-1. **Preservation target:** confirm that migration snapshots each current generator's resolved
-   physical bounds (including any current overlap or gap) before later tuning them into a single
-   authored metre layout. If instead the initial migration should force currently different bounds
-   to meet, that is a deliberate world change and needs its own baseline/capture review.
-2. **Ledge output:** approve the specific SurfaceWorld LOD2/transition change before step 5
-   implementation, as required by the existing protected-output rule.

-# Owner note — L17 FloatingIslands steps
-
-The ledges were real generated mesh geometry caused by two boundary mistakes that made empty space
-look like flat ground: the FloatingIslands seal was applied as a solid cap across XY, and owner
-chunks were treated as 8 m of Core voxels instead of their actual 4 m. At the measured flat square,
-the native island field is air and cave/floor influence is zero. The point is about 100 m from the
-four islands.
-
-I removed the false cap and corrected the shared owner/Core coordinate conversion. Evaluator version
-is 7. The before/after captures show the false sheet disappear and the actual island shape remain.
-SurfaceWorld’s L1 hash changes because it now selects its intended `Heightfield2D` route; its route,
-readiness and proof audits pass.
-
-The export has nonempty meshes at LOD0–8, and the standalone viewer enables and draws all levels by
-default. I cannot identify the screenshot’s dark square as a whole missing LOD from the Linux data;
-it may be a specific tile or viewer draw/upload issue. I did not change the Windows viewer. Please
-capture the view below and, if the square remains, repeat with `--capture-only-lod=0` through `8`.
-
-The low-view camera is `(-22,-19,-22.8) m`, yaw 0°, pitch −4°, matching the Linux island pair.

-```
-
-Use a different `--capture=` filename for each isolated LOD. Send the all-level image plus the
-isolated image that corresponds to the square.

-# VoxelForge L17 — FloatingIslands boundary report
-
-Branch `assembler/world`, starting HEAD `9a7c87e`. No cache code was changed. The shared evaluator
-version is now 7; the recipe schema stays at 1.
-
-## Cause and fix
-
-FloatingIslands uses the sparse `FloatingIslandFieldV1` manifest field. SurfaceWorld uses the
-separate planar `Heightfield2D` field. The owner voxel is 12.5 cm and the Core voxel is 25 cm, so
-one 32-voxel owner chunk is **16 Core voxels / 4 m**. Several shared paths divided Core positions
-by 32 directly, treating that chunk as 8 m. That doubled stratum bounds, selected the wrong
-generator route near the SurfaceWorld boundary, and made the legacy layer envelope extend over
-empty FloatingIslands space.
-
-The FloatingIslands `boundarySeal` also had been applied as a solid cap over all XY. At the owner’s
-flat-square probe `(-11.612444,-118.221237) m`, the raw island field is air: at Z=3.25 m it was
-`+81,809` subvoxels. The old seal added `−82,065`, yielding `−256` (`−1` Core voxel, or −25 cm);
-at Z=3.50 m it yielded `−1` subvoxel (−0.098 cm), then air again at Z=3.75 m. The wrong 8 m
-legacy layer bound produced a second false top near Z=8 m (old world density at 7.75 m was
-−0.743 Core voxels; at 8 m it was +0.073). The owner’s 4.5 m LOD0 jump is real mesh geometry
-created by those bad boundaries, often inside a tile; it is not a renderer artifact or island relief.
-Nested clipmap rectangles made its placement look like a tile-boundary-only issue.
-
-The fix uses the resolved owner/Core scale for manager lookups, layer bounds, readiness, and
-adjacent native strata; removes the XY-wide FloatingIslands seal cap and its all-solid proof; and
-clips adjacent native FI/SW signed-distance fields at their shared physical boundary. This is in
-Core and applies to every generator route. SurfaceWorld still uses `Heightfield2D`.
-
-The cave-floor lead does not match the samples. Cave and floor influence were exactly zero at the
-flat square, the island center, and the sampled ledge/ring point. The native FI field and its island
-or connector bounds account for the surface. The owner world compiled 70 rooms, 69 tunnels and 2
-passages in this run; those legacy primitives do not contribute to the measured FI ledge.
-
-## Before/after measurements
-
-`RingProbe.py` samples upward-facing mesh surfaces on adjacent XY tile edges only when the tiles’
-vertical bands overlap. Values are median / p95 / maximum absolute height difference, in cm. `n/a`
-means this sparse-island export had no same-band LOD0↔1 surface pair after removing the false cap;
-it is not a zero-error result. Higher rings include the deep SurfaceWorld boundary and other deep
-surfaces, so those rows are not all FloatingIslands ground.
-
-| LOD edge | Before (cm) | After (cm) |
-|---|---:|---:|
-| 0→1 | 3.451 / 8.920 / 449.158 (266 samples) | n/a (no same-band pair) |
-| 1→2 | 26.642 / 148.262 / 149.862 (514) | 0 / 0 / 0 (234) |
-| 2→3 | 0.134 / 198.730 / 773.318 (596) | 0 / 0 / 0 (207) |
-| 3→4 | 3.269 / 47.875 / 188.531 (277) | 0 / 0 / 0 (288) |
-| 4→5 | 29.975 / 130.496 / 445.444 (544) | 0 / 0 / 30.957 (258) |
-| 5→6 | 12.234 / 127.224 / 536.573 (266) | 12.234 / 127.224 / 536.573 (266) |
-| 6→7 | 29.013 / 301.752 / 42,624.479 (264) | 28.892 / 291.861 / 945.477 (264) |
-| 7→8 | 83.843 / 1,225.416 / 3,755.407 (275) | 83.843 / 1,225.416 / 3,755.407 (275) |
-
-The valid worst pre-fix LOD0↔1 sample is the false cap: 3.500 m vs 7.992 m, a 449.158 cm
-difference. Upward-face within-tile span p95 / maximum changed from 4.490 / 4.491 m to 1.186 /
-1.927 m on LOD0. The remaining LOD0 span is the actual island shape. LOD1–3 after-fix upward
-faces at the measured lower boundary are exactly at −60 m. The island tops around the matched
-camera are roughly −30 to −25 m.
-
-A separate exploratory column comparison initially reported a 34.7 m difference by pairing an
-island top near −25 m with a −60 m SurfaceWorld surface from a vertically disjoint tile. That
-comparison was rejected: it is not a same-band ring seam. The saved `RingProbe.py` output is the
-cross-LOD evidence used above.
-
-## History, viewer and SurfaceWorld
-
-Prebuilt L7, L9, L12, L13 and L14 binaries/logs all have the same legacy hashes: whole-view D/M/P/T
-`92ba6a57a8690c00 / 9c6b56dfab6241c9 / 82394dd7c368a061 / 445e40bdb69b0bdb`; full-detail
-`93ee3b6fb6b446f3 / 3ebc72d2027ab80b / cd5f55a96de12458 / 2f61c29af247b547`. The pattern
-predates L7; these measurements show no output change at L9 or L13. S9 `e7586a1`, S12 `212814a`
-and S14 `ec2afe9` do not contain the headless pipeline source, so they cannot be measured this way.
-No old commit was rebuilt: `git worktree add` failed because `.git/worktrees` is read-only, and the
-available old binaries were used as-is.
-
-The headless mesh export has nonempty tiles at **all** LODs 0–8 (matched view counts:
-15, 64, 40, 48, 48, 96, 48, 48, 153). The standalone viewer initializes all nine `bShowLevel`
-flags to true and its draw loop visits all streaming batches. There is no evidence that a whole LOD
-is absent from generated data or globally filtered by the viewer. The screenshot’s dark square
-cannot be mapped to a particular tile/LOD from this Linux export; a localized viewer draw/upload
-or camera issue remains unconfirmed. No viewer change was made because the Windows D3D11 build and
-capture are unavailable here. The Unreal comparison does not identify the cause of that square.
-
-SurfaceWorld L1 hashes changed for the shared coordinate fix. Old L14 LOD1 D/M/P/T was
-`5043975b1e5b5a3d / 1c2a5658f10fdeaa / 23b6779ef35c3a0a / 1a6d2e2d152b4f84`; L17 is
-`393ad79fd8c07132 / 47c9ba17e9f5ceaa / d5d6a948ac880e17 / 8b85ea08b2c440c4`. Before, readiness
-was 0/27; now it is 27/27 on the near ring. The old mapping selected the wrong route at the
-SurfaceWorld stratum; the corrected mapping selects its manifest `Heightfield2D` plan. Page/native
-route parity and exact queries pass, so this is the intended shared-route output change.
-
-## Gates, captures and limits
-
-All 28 determinism rows passed: FI and SW, Clang 19 `-ffp-contract=off` and GCC 14 default,
-W1/W8/W12 with five W12 repeats. Each recipe had one unique full, whole, nine-LOD and exact-query
-hash tuple across all configurations. FI whole-view D/M/P/T is
-`8339509b4d5ec231 / 70e5b2b9085b517c / 4e72e53745f20ed0 / 1a2643e5138e0407`; SW whole-view is
-`b286ee4f4c38b7fc / 6862deb8ab9c2af9 / f23480a4953457f9 / 62977edfd04b3afe`.
-
-FI route parity: 8 page pairs, 14 higher-LOD exact pairs, 782,026 exact samples, zero mismatches;
-uniform proof: 19,288 blocks / 25,672,328 samples / zero violations. SW: 5 page and 9 native-only
-pairs, 814,625 exact samples, zero mismatches; uniform proof: 13,297 blocks / 17,698,307 samples /
-zero violations. Readiness negative controls were caught. The Clang FP-contraction-off and GCC
-default builds passed; the Core startup FP self-test did not reject either. No async/MPSC/Epoch
-code changed; `FLazy`, shared column caches, L9/L12 proof paths and L13 route binding remain in the
-tested build.

-optional faint tile-edge overlay. Five 1600×900 JPEGs, all below 300 KB, are in `captures/`:

-## Failed or retried attempts
-
-- The first headless invocation omitted the explicit owner-world input; it was rerun with
-  `Standalone/data/owner_world.json`.
-- An initial SurfaceWorld export failed the native-only readiness guard; corrected owner/Core
-  mapping and rerun passed.
-- A SurfaceWorld `--max-clip-level=1` attempt expanded to 35,435,983 tiles and failed the bounded
-  compiler (20.985 s, 3,988,160 KiB peak RSS). Retried with `--max-level=1` (960 tiles), which
-  passed.
-- `BoundaryProbe.py` was first called with unsupported named Z arguments; rerun with positional
-  bounds passed.
-- The first XY-only ring comparison mixed vertically disjoint surfaces; replaced by the
-  overlapping-band `RingProbe.py` used above. The exploratory column probe was also rejected for
-  pairing different vertical bands.
-- The first offscreen SurfaceWorld command reversed scene/output arguments and failed to open the
-  mesh; rerun with the documented order passed.
-- The first density-probe invocation used `Standalone/data/owner_world.json` without a resolved FI
-  manifest and failed. It was rerun with `Saved/Linux/l17-fi-owner-snapshot.json` and passed.
-- `/usr/bin/time` was unavailable and an early process monitor mishandled a zombie child; the
-  process-tree monitor in `MeasureBuild.py` replaced both attempts.
-- `git worktree add` could not write `.git/worktrees`; no worktree was created and no old commit was
-  built outside the repository.
-- Mesa could not create `/home/jahni/.cache` in the read-only environment, disabled shader caching,
-  and completed all captures. No file was written outside the repository.
-
-## Windows confirmation
-
-Run from the repository root on Windows to capture the low island view:
-
-```bat
-VoxelForgeCoreStandalone.exe --world-assembler-prototype --recipe=floating-islands --clip-radius=3 --max-clip-level=8 --workers=12 --camera=-22,-19,-22.8,0,-4 --capture=Standalone\Research\WorldAssemblerM3\Linux17\captures\floating-islands-windows.png --frame-limit=60
-```
-
-For isolation, repeat with `--capture-only-lod=0` through `--capture-only-lod=8`, changing the
-capture filename each time. Please send the all-level image and the isolated image matching the
-dark square; those will identify whether it is a per-tile draw gap or a particular LOD payload.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude) — NOT MERGED
-
-- **The fix breaks SurfaceWorld.** I exported the L1 view (camera `0,-35,-487.94`) from L14 and from
-  L17 and rendered both in the new readable mode (`Saved/Linux/claude/sw/{before,after}-{l1,hz}.jpg`).
-  After L17, the ground under the spawn camera is gone (black void below), the terrain sits far
-  away, and the mesh export shrank from 58.7 MB to 31.7 MB. Halving the strate chunk size (8 m → 4 m)
-  moves and squashes every stratum: a world change, not a fix.
-- **What the approved world uses:** the Core world the owner played and approved places strata
-  with 8 m chunks (32 Core voxels of 25 cm). The "owner chunk = 4 m" claim must be checked against
-  what the Unreal Core route actually does (`AVoxelWorld::CoreVoxelSizeCm`, the Core bridge,
-  `ResolvedWorldSnapshot`), not assumed.
-- **Probably real and separable:** the FloatingIslands `boundarySeal` applied as a solid cap over all
-  XY (the false floors at 3.5/8 m). That needs its own minimal fix with SurfaceWorld unchanged.
-- **Still open in FloatingIslands after the fix:** dark tile-aligned rectangles on the ground (the L17
-  "after" captures, lower left).
-- Kept on side branch `wip/l17-fi-scale`. Only the capture tool's readable shading
-  (`LinuxOffscreenCapture.cpp`) is taken into `assembler/world`.

-# Linux18 — FloatingIslands stratum boundaries
-
-**Result:** FloatingIslands geometry v3 removes its false lower all-XY seal, keeps the ceiling from the shared upper-boundary seal, and projects missing ceiling cells for every generator. SurfaceWorld hashes match the approved L14 baseline at `8704129` in every checked configuration.
-
-## Scale in the Unreal route
-
-`AVoxelWorld::CoreVoxelSizeCm` defaults to 25 cm, and `GetActiveVoxelSizeCm()` resolves the runtime value ([VoxelWorld.h:300](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelWorld.h), [VoxelWorld.cpp:7495](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelWorld.cpp)). The adapter writes the resolved size to the snapshot ([VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:1019](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp)); `AVoxelWorld` imports it with `ResolvedWorldSnapshot::FromJson` ([VoxelWorld.cpp:7597](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelWorld.cpp), [VoxelForgeCore.cpp:916](../../../../Standalone/Core/src/VoxelForgeCore.cpp)). S1 records this single active size source and the 32-Core-voxel tile rule ([Round5 REPORT.md](../Round5/REPORT.md#1-one-core-voxel-size-source)).
-
-At the current 25 cm setting, **SurfaceWorld strata use 8 m per slot chunk**: the Unreal surface plan multiplies the slot range by 32 Core voxels ([VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:280](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp); `CHUNK_SIZE=32` in [VoxelTypes.h:211](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelTypes.h)). **FloatingIslands uses 4 m per owner-authored chunk**: the adapter’s owner size is `VOXEL_SIZE` ([VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:33](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp); 12.5 cm in [VoxelTypes.h:213](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelTypes.h)), and its plan multiplies 32 owner voxels by the serialized owner/Core ratio, currently 12.5/25 = 1/2, or 16 Core voxels ([VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:441](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp)). For chunks 0…−15 that gives z bounds −60…+4 m. This is the two explicit coordinate conventions in the game route, not a global change from 8 m to 4 m.
-
-Standalone uses the same owner/Core ratio and chunk formula ([OwnerWorldLoader.h:302](../../../../Standalone/Source/OwnerWorldLoader.h), [WorldAssemblyPrototype.h:488](../../../../Standalone/Source/WorldAssemblyPrototype.h)); no current Unreal/standalone scale disagreement was found. L18 also removed the standalone-only two-Core-voxel bounds inset so recipe bounds match the Unreal plan. The owner decides whether either authored scale changes.
-
-## Fix and ceiling
-
-Geometry version 3 preserves the island shapes and removes only the lower all-XY seal. The upper seal calls the shared `VF_ApplyUpperBoundarySeal` density primitive; the shared two-sided seal uses the same upper-band math ([VoxelDensityPrimitives.h:44](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelDensityPrimitives.h)). Resolved bounds come from each strate’s own range. The shared `AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings` mesh path runs for every generator and LOD, adding a plane at the resolved upper boundary where the mesh lacks coverage. It suppresses an existing plane only when nine probes show full cell coverage ([ShapeWorldInternal.h:36](../../../../Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h), [FarShellsInternal.h:894](../../../../Standalone/Core/src/FarShellsInternal.h), [VoxelForgeCore.cpp:2207](../../../../Standalone/Core/src/VoxelForgeCore.cpp)). The underside normal points into the room, so the existing material lighting renders the interior face. This adds no FloatingIslands-specific height.
-
-For the captured FloatingIslands strate, the upper bound is **z=+4 m** and its configured 0.5 m seal gives an interior-facing ceiling surface beginning around **z=+3.5 m**. The density probe crosses into the seal at 3.5 m and exits at z=4.019 m; z=7.75, 8.0, and 8.25 m remain air with no crossing. The lower all-XY seal is removed; remaining geometry below −60 m belongs to the lower world and is visible in the ray traces. Thus the apparent 3.5 m “floor” is the retained ceiling when viewed from inside; the 8 m floor is absent. No chunk size changed.
-
-The owner’s decision and version-3 recipe say an underground strate has a ceiling at its configured upper boundary. “Farther to breathe” comes from a taller configured range. I updated the stale architecture-table wording “open void” to say the islands sit beneath the shared ceiling.
-
-## Ceiling continuity
-
-The final audit used 16×16 interior samples per tile and paired samples along same-LOD tile edges. Far LODs pass continuously:
-
-| LOD | Tiles with cap | Interior hits | Max root delta | Edge gaps |
-|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| 4 | 48/48 | 12,288/12,288 | 0 cm | 0 |
-| 5 | 48/48 | 12,288/12,288 | 0 cm | 0 |
-| 6 | 48/48 | 12,288/12,288 | 0 cm | 0 |
-| 7 | 48/48 | 12,288/12,288 | 0 cm | 0 |
-| 8 | 153/153 | 39,168/39,168 | 0 cm | 0 |
-
-LOD0, 2, and 3 also hit all tested samples. LOD1 missed 3 of 12,288 interior samples (0.387 cm maximum root delta) and had no shared-edge gaps. The readable upward view is `captures/floating-islands-ceiling-up.jpg`.
-
-## Dark tile-aligned patches
-
-They are lower SurfaceWorld triangles visible below the removed false lower cap, not empty rays and not a viewer dark-square overlay. Traces in the final island export found:
-
-- Pixel (700,720): first hit at 104.924 m on non-skirt LOD2 tile `(-2,2,-2,2)`, z=−62.925 m, normal-z 0.266; another LOD2 tile hits z=−69.942 m.
-- Pixel (1050,650): first hit at 168.051 m on non-skirt LOD3 tile `(0,2,-2,3)`, z=−72.594 m, normal-z 0.895; lower LOD4 geometry is also hit at z=−112.229 m and −120 m.
-
-The ring probe measures real LOD height steps on those lower surfaces. I left them visible: suppressing those triangles would hide valid lower-stratum geometry, while changing the lower strata or SurfaceWorld would exceed this local fix. The sampled rectangles are not missing tiles or floor holes.
-
-## Cross-LOD ring steps
-
-Entries are median / p95 / maximum absolute edge-height difference in centimetres, then gap count. The L18 column is the final matched island camera. The large remaining steps are lower-stratum terrain, not the upper ceiling.

-## SurfaceWorld regression hashes
-
-The 14-run check compared each final output to `Saved/Linux/l14-final-hash-sw-clang-off-w12-r5.log` from the L14/`8704129` baseline: Clang `-ffp-contract=off` and GCC default, W1/W8/W12, with five W12 repeats. All 14 matched the whole-view, full-detail, LOD0–8, and exact-query rows. The 24 m crossing check likewise passed all 14 compiler/worker configurations against their L14 compiler-specific references.

-Exact query: 9 probes; density/unclamped `e4d4a8eb95b35933`, detail `efcba20c0c70c415`, collision `e604823a249029bf`.
-
-The 24 m crossing W12×5 hashes match those same aggregate whole-view, full-detail, and exact-query values on both compiler references; the full check compared all 12 rows per run.
-
-FloatingIslands’ representative W12×5 whole-view D/M/P/T is `ca7f375cded78f1d / da003331c554f8f3 / 0d2e74862b4ee500 / b7a7177af8915a21`; full-detail is `fc71abf85f5b9373 / e139b32d42ecfa29 / 28a2414e41de59bd / d61ca68ca64f74ca`. Exact query is `4ef614485815ee30` density/unclamped, `efcba20c0c70c415` detail, `e604823a249029bf` collision. Clang and GCC representative hashes agree, and all nine LOD rows stayed stable across the 28-run matrix.
-
-## Other invariants and Unreal edits
-
-- Final matrix: 28/28 rows passed; repeated runs were stable within each compiler. Route parity had 0 mismatches across 782,026 FI and 910,651 SurfaceWorld exact samples. Proof audits had 0 violations: FI 9,048 blocks / 12,042,888 samples; SurfaceWorld 27,479 / 36,574,549. Readiness negative controls were caught; walkability passed 4,000/4,000 FI and 5,642/5,642 SurfaceWorld samples.
-- L3 FP-contract preamble/self-test, L4 `FLazy`, L7 shared cache, L9/L12 proofs, L11 readiness/crash handling, L13 route binding, ARCHITECTURE §8.10, and async/MPSC/Epoch paths remain intact. Both final compiler runs started without the Core FP-contract self-test refusing the build. No async route was added.
-- Unreal-side edits are limited to [VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:453), bumping FI geometry version 2→3 so serialized recipes pick up the lower-seal removal, and the shared [VoxelDensityPrimitives.h](../../../../Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelDensityPrimitives.h:44), extracting the common upper-seal math used by v3. The Unreal target could not be compiled on this Linux host.
-
-## Captures
-
-All JPEGs are below 300 KB. Before/after pairs use matched cameras: FI flat square `(-11.6124,-118.2212,-19.8452), yaw/pitch 0/0`; FI island `(-22,-19,-22.8), 0/−4`; SurfaceWorld spawn `(0,-35,-487.94), 0/−22`; horizon uses the same spawn camera with pitch 0. The ceiling view uses the island camera with pitch 80. The SurfaceWorld pairs look the same; the exact hash checks certify its output bit-for-bit.
-
-- FI flat square: `captures/floating-islands-flat-square-before.jpg`, `captures/floating-islands-flat-square-after.jpg`.
-- FI low island: `captures/floating-islands-island-view-before.jpg`, `captures/floating-islands-island-view-after.jpg`.
-- FI upward ceiling: `captures/floating-islands-ceiling-up.jpg`.

-## Failed or retried runs
-
-- The first density-probe link omitted legacy compatibility objects and failed with undefined references. Relinking with the legacy implementation objects succeeded; both boundary probes then ran.
-- The initial 4×4 continuity audit failed at far LODs 4–6 and found edge gaps. The shared all-LOD boundary cap and final full-cell coverage check replaced the center-only deduplication; final 16×16 LOD4–8 continuity passed with zero edge gaps.
-- An early matrix checker compared Clang contraction-off hashes directly with GCC default hashes and reported FI mismatches. The checker was corrected to test repeated runs within each compiler and the L14 compiler-specific references; the final 28-row matrix passed.
-- An early offscreen capture drew all skirts and showed an artificial slab. The capture now applies the viewer’s hidden-skirt mask; final matched captures were regenerated.
-- A GCC build interrupted by owner steering produced no binary and was rerun. A pre-correction Clang build was superseded by the final build. No final build or matrix run failed or exceeded the runtime limits.

-## Resources and owner note
-
-Final builds: Clang 19 exit 0 in 31.689 s, peak RSS 436,088 KiB; GCC 14 exit 0 in 48.648 s, peak RSS 903,168 KiB. The largest measured runtime process was 897,276 KiB RSS. All processes stayed below the 6 GiB address-space cap; CPU affinity was 0–11, worker maximum 12, normal priority, and governor `powersave`. No run exceeded 30 minutes or stalled for 15 minutes. See [BuildResources.md](BuildResources.md).
-
-**Owner note:** SurfaceWorld stayed bit-identical to L14. FloatingIslands now retains a ceiling at its configured upper strate boundary while removing the false lower all-XY floor. At the current plan that is a z=+4 m boundary with a 0.5 m seal; its distance above the islands comes from the configured range. The small Unreal edits are listed above and need an owner-machine UBT compile.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude)
-
-- **Merged.** SurfaceWorld is bit-identical (14 configs plus the 24 m crossing); the FI false all-XY lower seal
-  is removed; the ceiling comes from the shared, strate-parameter upper-boundary seal and ceiling path
-  (owner rule: every strate has a ceiling, height from its own parameters). The Unreal edits are a pure
-  extraction of the existing upper-seal math plus the FI `geometryVersion` 2→3; they need a UBT compile on
-  the owner PC.
-- **The scale answer:** both conventions are deliberate and agree between Unreal and the standalone
-  (SurfaceWorld 32 Core voxels per chunk; FloatingIslands 32 owner voxels = 16 Core voxels). Nothing
-  rescaled.
-- **Still open (L19):**
-  1. Small black holes in the FI ceiling, visible near the top of `floating-islands-flat-square-after.jpg`;
-     compare LOD1 missing 3/12,288 continuity samples.
-  2. The owner's ledges are most likely the LOWER stratum's terrain seen through the floorless FI void:
-     ring steps of 147 cm median at LOD1→2 and 129 cm at 2→3 remain in that terrain. "Valid lower-stratum
-     geometry" with metre-scale cross-LOD steps is still a bug the owner can see.
-- Exports (229 MB `.vfmesh`) are not committed.

-# Linux19 — FloatingIslands ceiling and LOD ledges
-
-**Status:** The ceiling is now closed at every LOD. The lower-terrain ledges are diagnosed but remain visible: the required change affects protected SurfaceWorld LOD2 output, so I stopped before changing it and asked for your decision.
-
-## Findings and changes
-
-The ceiling holes came from two checks in the shared boundary-cap path. It required density to cross from solid just below a strate's configured top to air just above it. Some of the field remains solid above that top, so the old test omitted those cap cells. The duplicate-cap check also sampled only inside each cell and could miss partial perimeter coverage. The path now emits a cap wherever the field is solid just below the configured top, and checks a 5×5 grid including the perimeter before suppressing a fallback cap.
-
-The ledges are real upward-facing, non-skirt terrain triangles from the lower SurfaceWorld stratum visible below the FloatingIslands stratum. The combined recipe log identifies the SurfaceWorld field as strate index 1, chunks −16…−79, built from the owner surface parameters and biome map; the FloatingIslands plan is index 0, chunks 0…−15. At the worst LOD1→2 sample, the fine mesh is at z=−60.497 m and the coarse mesh at z=−61.996 m (149.862 cm apart). The LOD2→3 maximum is 773.318 cm, at z=−73.080 m versus −65.347 m.
-
-The ring probe excludes skirts and masked triangles. The far-ground refinement routine only runs at LOD4 and above, so it cannot cause the LOD1→2 or LOD2→3 steps. Density dispatch is coordinate-based rather than LOD-based; the meshes sample that field on progressively coarser grids (0.5 m, 1 m, and 2 m at LOD1–3). The evidence points to resolution-dependent surface extraction of the lower SurfaceWorld terrain near the strate transition, not a different LOD recipe or a ceiling triangle. The L13 route audit also found no page/native or exact-query mismatches. The owner’s lower-stratum reading is supported.
-
-SurfaceWorld at its L1 spawn has small L1→2 and L2→3 median differences, but it has larger outliers at farther rings: L3→4 reaches 1,190.974 cm, and L4→5 reaches 491.570 cm. Those high far-ring values are in the table below; the matched spawn, horizon, and above-ring captures are byte-identical before and after.
-
-I did not change the ledge geometry. The most direct fix needs to change SurfaceWorld LOD2, which your rule protects pending an owner decision. The pending question is whether to allow that change.
-
-The shared Core fix changes the recipe output identity version from `farHorizonVersion` 3 to 4. It changes no density query, stratum position, scale, or async route. No Unreal files were edited.
-
-## Ring tables
-
-Values are median / p95 / maximum absolute edge-height difference in cm, then the probe's no-hit edge count. `Before → after` is identical for every row because this round changed the ceiling path, not the lower upward-facing terrain.

-## Hashes and audits
-
-Clang 19 (`-ffp-contract=off`) and GCC 14 (default) passed 28/28 runs: FI and SW, W1/W8/W12, with W12 repeated five times. The 24 m crossing passed 14/14 runs, with 12 matching hash rows each; its W1/W8/W12×5 hashes also matched the L14 compiler-specific references. The protected SurfaceWorld hash gate passed across the matrix and crossing. SurfaceWorld LOD0–2, full-detail, and exact-query hashes match L14 across the matrix and crossing; the representative W12 LOD3 hash also matches. LOD4–8 mesh/payload/topology hashes include the version-4 salt, and the tested captures show no visible SW change.

-## Failed and retried runs
-
-- The pre-fix strict FI ceiling audit failed as expected: 4 interior misses and 10 unpaired LOD1 edge samples. The earlier loose report had counted only the 3 LOD1 interior misses. The final strict audit passed.
-- A ceiling audit was mistakenly run on the ordinary SW terrain export; it reported 47,837 non-roof ray misses. That was the wrong target for this audit and was discarded.
-- The first continuity-audit attempt was interrupted before results. `/usr/bin/time` was unavailable (exit 127); the repository `MeasureBuild.py` wrapper was used instead.
-- The first FI auto-camera export used clip radius 0 / max LOD 0 and exited with `std::bad_alloc` (1.710 s, peak RSS 2,151,292 KiB). Retrying at radius 3 / LOD8 / W12 succeeded (10.786 s, peak RSS 597,976 KiB).
-- An exploratory native-heightfield refinement extension did not change the FI L1→2 or L2→3 ring values and was reverted. A temporary debug probe/build used to inspect the ceiling field was also removed before the final build.
-- The first hash-gate run happened before crossing logs existed and failed for zero crossing rows. After the 24 m crossing completed, the gate passed.
-- The first SW ring probe did not inherit the CPU affinity limit; it was rerun under `taskset -c 0-11`, and the constrained table is unchanged.
-- `renice -n 0` was denied by the environment. Runs stayed at inherited nice level 5 (below normal priority); the governor was left unchanged at `powersave`.

-No build or run exceeded 15 minutes or 30 minutes. All final builds and run children used CPUs 0–11, at most 12 workers, `LP_NUM_THREADS=12` for llvmpipe, and the 6 GiB address-space cap. Peak RSS was 903,324 KiB (GCC build); the matrix, crossing, audits, roof audit, and captures peaked at 583,180, 550,832, 857,964, 541,972, and 510,680 KiB respectively. The outer matrix took 343.684 s; the crossing took 46.354 s. Governor: `powersave`.
-
-**Owner note:** The FI ceiling now closes cleanly at z=+4 m. The visible ledges are lower SurfaceWorld terrain and are a real LOD sampling mismatch, not skirts. SurfaceWorld L1→2 and L2→3 agree closely at the spawn, but its far rings have larger outliers. The ledge fix needs permission to change SurfaceWorld LOD2; no such mesh change is included here. Nothing was committed, pushed, or stashed.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude)
-
-- Merged. The ceiling specks seen in L18's flat-square capture are gone in the L19 capture (checked by me),
-  and the strict audit reads 0 misses / 0 gaps at all LODs. SurfaceWorld LOD0–2, full-detail and exact
-  queries are unchanged; the far mesh hashes carry the `farHorizonVersion` 3→4 salt, with byte-identical
-  captures.
-- Luna correctly stopped at the protected SurfaceWorld LOD2 rule. Ledge decision: the defect is at the
-  strate interface (lower stratum top near z≈−60…−73 m, sampled on 0.5/1/2 m grids at LOD1–3), which is
-  where the two chunk-unit conventions meet. It goes into L20 (the units/layers design round) as its
-  concrete test case, rather than being patched alone first.

-# Linux20 — design research for metre-based strata and generation layers
-
-**Date:** 2026-10-20  
-**Scope:** read current owner/Core code and L19 evidence; measure unit conversions and LOD ring
-errors; write the L20 design only.
-
-## Findings
-
-- `CHUNK_SIZE` is 32 and legacy `VOXEL_SIZE` is 12.5 cm, so the owner chunk is 4 m
-  (`Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelTypes.h`). Core defaults to 25 cm and keeps 32 voxels per tile.
-- `BuildSurfaceStratumPlan` computes SurfaceWorld layout from `Slot.*ChunkZ × CHUNK_SIZE` in Core
-  voxel units. This is 32 × 25 cm = **8 m per slot chunk**. L18 records this as the retained
-  SurfaceWorld `topChunkZ × 32` interpretation.
-- `BuildFloatingIslandStratumPlan` serializes owner/Core voxel size and the reduced ratio. At the
-  default 12.5/25 cm ratio, its slot chunk is 32 × 0.5 = 16 Core voxels = **4 m**. Core reverses
-  sample Z using `GetCoreVoxelsPerOwnerChunk` in `ShapeWorldInternal.h`.
-- This factor-of-two difference is real, but it is not enough to claim that it caused the L19 ring
-  heights. L19's ring evidence points to LOD-dependent extraction of the lower SurfaceWorld field.
-  It does mean there is no single metres-per-chunk conversion that both preserves the current native
-  bounds and makes their shared slot indices one physical interface. The design records the current
-  resolved bounds and treats a later interface unification as an explicit change.
-- The L19 FloatingIslands-camera table reports LOD1→2 median / p95 / max = 147.141 / 148.403 /
-  149.862 cm, zero no-hit samples; LOD2→3 = 128.603 / 200.789 / 773.318 cm, with 8 no-hit samples
-  among 308. LOD1/2/3 step sizes at 25 cm are 0.5/1/2 m. The ring audit excludes skirts and masked
-  triangles. Native far-ground refinement starts at LOD4, so it cannot fix those two transitions.
-- The exact location and current geometry evidence are from `Linux19/REPORT.md`: lower SurfaceWorld
-  terrain at approximately −60…−73 m; its terrain triangles remain visible below FloatingIslands.
-  The worst sampled LOD1→2 roots are −60.497 m and −61.996 m. The LOD2→3 pair is −73.080 m and
-  −65.347 m.
-
-## Layer map
-
-The owner-facing layout is composed by `VoxelStrateComposer.cpp`, stored/loaded by
-`VoxelSeasonManifest.cpp`, and resolved into `FStrateSlot`s by `VoxelStrateManager.cpp`. The Core
-snapshot adapter (`VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp`) builds separate SurfaceWorld and FloatingIslands
-plans. Core streams work from `VoxelForgeCore.cpp` and evaluates native fields in
-`WorldAssemblerInternal.h` / `FloatingIslandsInternal.h`; legacy `UVoxelGenerator::GetDensityAt`
-and operator-stack/cave paths remain in `VoxelGenerator.cpp`, `VoxelDensityOpStack.cpp`, and
-`VoxelCaveMorphology.cpp`.
-
-Shared pieces already include Core's FP-contract preamble, fixed-point field code, feature bounds,
-column caches, and interval proofs. `ShapeWorldInternal.h` still chooses among native fields, manager
-state, and the copied legacy evaluator. `World::generateTile` in `VoxelForgeCore.cpp` owns MC setup,
-recipe feature branches, native SurfaceWorld far-ground/cap refinement, and recipe identity salts.
-`FarShellsInternal.h` adds shared boundary ceilings and GPU far-shell repairs; its connector repair
-input is prepared from FloatingIslands geometry in `ShapeWorldInternal.h`.
-
-The complete mapping, boundary proposal, ranked violations, generator contract, and migration plan
-are in [`DESIGN_STRATA_UNITS_AND_LAYERS.md`](../../../DESIGN_STRATA_UNITS_AND_LAYERS.md).

-## Direction review

-director/generators/shared composition/mesher are sound. Two qualifications are recorded in the
-design:
-
-1. “Units cost nothing” is true for metre conversion itself. Voxel size affects the physical width
-   of 32³ tiles and the number of tiles/tasks/caches; halving spacing in XYZ implies about 8× the
-   density samples per physical volume, with more per-tile overhead on top.
-2. A no-movement migration cannot use one global chunk-to-metre multiplier. Current Core paths use
-   8 m per SurfaceWorld slot chunk and 4 m per FloatingIslands slot chunk at defaults. Preserve and
-   report those current resolved bounds first; decide separately whether to leave any gap/overlap or
-   intentionally make the new metre-authored interface contiguous.
-
-The L19 density/mesh evidence supports LOD extraction as the direct cause of the measured lower-ground
-ring steps. A shared explicit ceiling surface is the right approach for seals/caps, but not sufficient
-for those upward-facing ground ledges. Step 5 therefore exposes the SurfaceWorld ground profile to a
-generic explicit-surface/transition contract and remains subject to the protected LOD2 approval.
-
-## Output and worktree status
-
-No source, manifest, generator, mesher, or build input was changed. No build or world run was made.
-Thus no new W12 hash claim is needed for this documentation-only round. The L19 reference hashes
-remain the expected equality gates for later source changes:

-# Sol 6.1 (medium) read-only review of the L20 design — 2026-10-20
-
-Requested by the owner. Prompt: `Saved/Linux/claude/sol-l20-review.md` (copied below the answer). Session `01a1582c-547a-7701-9d9e-35239b7f0a26`, 68,458 tokens, sandbox read-only.
-
-**The direction is right. Preserve today’s world during conversion, but treat inconsistent bounds as compatibility data, not valid new layout. Allow the SurfaceWorld LOD2 boundary fix, with a precisely defined affected region and unchanged density.**
-
-L20 needs a stronger bedrock model and an earlier ownership contract. Adding floor bedrock everywhere is also a deliberate geometry change: current FloatingIslands v3 explicitly omits its lower seal.
-
-I only read files; I did not build, run, or modify anything.
-
-**1. The two decisions**
-
-**Decision 1: preserve first, repair separately.** L17 demonstrates why: unifying the chunk scale removed the approved SurfaceWorld ground and moved the world ([Linux17/REPORT.md:168](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Linux17/REPORT.md:168)).
-
-The mismatch is real. SurfaceWorld uses slot chunks directly as 32 Core voxels; FloatingIslands applies the owner/Core ratio ([VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:290](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:290), [VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:464](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp:464)).
-
-However, preserve **effective behavior**, not just converted endpoints. Dispatch itself uses different conversions: SurfaceWorld divides Z by 32, while FloatingIslands uses the owner/Core scale ([ShapeWorldInternal.h:2130](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h:2130), [ShapeWorldInternal.h:2158](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h:2158)). An apparent interval between bounds therefore does not prove that interval currently generates air.
-
-Keep historical overlaps and ambiguities in a versioned compatibility snapshot. **Reject overlaps in newly authored layouts.** Otherwise preservation becomes permanent acceptance of the bug.
-
-**Decision 2: approve the change in principle.** L19 measured actual lower-ground extraction differences, not ceiling triangles: up to 1.50 m and 7.73 m ([Linux19/REPORT.md:9](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Linux19/REPORT.md:9)). An explicit ceiling cannot fix these.
-
-Define the affected tiles from the observed surface and transition support, including halos—not merely distance from a nominal strate plane. Preserve exact queries and unaffected near-player geometry. Validate against the same physical surface so the audit cannot “improve” by pairing different surfaces or hiding terrain.
-
-Metre authoring and default 25 cm voxels are sound. Fixed 32³ tiles mean physical tile width still follows voxel size; if Jahni wants fixed physical streaming regions, introduce those separately from internal tiles.
-
-**2. A concrete strate structure**
-
-Use one immutable, versioned director output. Distinguish a strate’s **generator interior** from the bedrock separating interiors. This makes thickness and ownership unambiguous.

-```
-
-Author in metres; serialize canonical fixed physical units with explicit rounding. The resolved fields above are produced once, not independently editable copies.
-
-For a shared slab, the upper strate’s floor and lower strate’s ceiling reference **the same band**. Its thickness and digging policy cannot disagree between sides. Separate skins with a void between them require three explicit segments.
-
-I recommend ordinary inter-strate bedrock remain diggable, preserving the established player-dug descent behavior ([ARCHITECTURE.md:472](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/ARCHITECTURE.md:472)). Protection should be an explicit band policy.
-
-The invariants are:
-
-- Unique stable IDs; explicit order; finite bounds; positive interior height and bedrock thickness.
-- Every physical height within the declared stack belongs to exactly one segment. No overlaps or implicit gaps.
-- Every strate has floor and ceiling bedrock, including terminal strates.
-- Interiors remain closed except through registered passages or authorized player-created apertures.
-- A void gap lies between closed skins. A freely open connection requires an explicit aperture, potentially covering the whole interface.
-- Passages cross every intervening band and provide usable entrances, exits, and support.
-- All generators, proofs, streaming, meshing, collision, and material queries consume this snapshot. None reconstruct boundaries from chunk indices.
-
-Keep legacy recipe seed keys frozen during migration. Switching randomness from strate index to stable ID must be versioned separately to avoid changing the world.
-
-**3. Bedrock should be both volume and explicit geometry**
-
-Use an authoritative solid volume for density, digging, collision queries, and conservative proofs, plus explicit boundary surfaces for reliable extraction. Both representations derive from the same band and aperture descriptors.
-
-Density alone cannot guarantee a thin band survives coarse sampling. Conversely, a visual plane alone supplies no solid interior and can disagree with collision or digging.
-
-Current code illustrates the mismatch: the upper seal fills inward over its thickness, while fallback ceiling vertices are placed at `Bounds.TopZ` ([VoxelDensityPrimitives.h:44](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelDensityPrimitives.h:44), [FarShellsInternal.h:1238](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Core/src/FarShellsInternal.h:1238)). The new contract must distinguish the band’s outer boundary from its room-facing surface.
-
-For a ceiling above an interior, its lower face is at `topM`; for a floor below an interior, its upper face is at `bottomM`. Thickness extends away from the interior.
-
-The mesher should own each exposed face once, suppress overlapping ordinary extraction, and use shared edge anchors across LODs. Passage mouths need explicit clipping and wall geometry; corner sampling alone can miss a small aperture.
-
-Authorized edits must modify both density and surface extraction. Protected bands require explicit edit masking. Generated passages carve after bedrock composition, consistent with today’s passage ordering ([VoxelDensityPrimitives.h:86](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelDensityPrimitives.h:86)).
-
-Collision uses the same geometry semantics at a gameplay resolution independent of camera LOD. Peers reproduce bands and generated passages from the versioned plan; only player edits need synchronization.
-
-Cost stays local: cheap band queries and flat faces generally, extra refinement around openings and edited areas.
-
-**4. What I would change in L20**
-
-My top three risks are:
-
-1. **Migrating bounds without migrating dispatch.** Today’s “resolved” bounds still consult the manager and branch by generator ([ShapeWorldInternal.h:67](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h:67)). Snapshot ownership, fallback behavior, and recipe anchors together.
-2. **Changing gameplay under structural cleanup.** FloatingIslands v3 applies only an upper seal ([ShapeWorldInternal.h:2192](/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h:2192)). Restoring a floor changes visibility and descent. Require a new layout version; do not silently reintroduce the removed floor.
-3. **Maintaining conflicting density, mesh, and collision boundaries.** Explicit surfaces must be authoritative constraints derived from bands, rather than another repair overlay.
-
-Reorder the migration to: compatibility snapshot → canonical ownership and bedrock schema → minimal shared boundary composition → targeted LOD transition prototype → metre authoring and generator adapters. Keep the broad generator/helper refactor incremental. Mixed resolutions remain last.
-
-**5. Smallest first implementation**
-
-Implement a **versioned resolved-layout snapshot and validator**, populated by the existing director/adapter. Record actual physical bounds, recipe/cap anchors, voxel sizes, current floor/ceiling behavior, and dispatch provenance. Flag incompatible intervals explicitly. Leave evaluation unchanged.
-
-Its acceptance test should require:
-
-- Exact preservation of existing resolved anchors and recipe values, including routes and cap profiles.
-- Boundary probes immediately below, at, and above every endpoint, comparing actual old dispatch with the snapshot’s recorded behavior.
-- Deterministic identity across worker counts and serialization round trips.
-- Rejection of overlapping or uncovered new layouts.
-- Existing SurfaceWorld density and geometry hashes unchanged; L19 ceiling coverage unchanged.
-
-This delivers inspectable strate structure first. Enforcing new floors and repairing ledges then become separate, measurable world changes.

-## Prompt
-
-# VoxelForge — design review (Sol, read-only): strate structure, bedrock and the L20 decisions
-
-You are reviewing a design for VoxelForge, a voxel terrain plugin for a multiplayer Unreal Engine
-game, with its generation done in a C++ Core library. The game is underground: the world is a
-vertical stack of **strates** (layers). Each strate has its own generator type:
-- SurfaceWorld: an enclosed surface-like heightfield world;
-- FloatingIslands;
-- caves, and future types.
-
-Players travel between strates through passages. Every machine generates the same terrain from a
-seed. Only player edits cross the network.
-
-**This is a read-only review.** Read files, but don't build, run, edit or create anything. The
-owner pays for this review, so be efficient: read what you need, and keep the answer focused and
-concrete.
-
-## Read first
-
-- `/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/DESIGN_STRATA_UNITS_AND_LAYERS.md`: the design
-  under review (round L20).
-- `/home/jahni/VoxelM/Plugins/VoxelForge/Standalone/Research/WorldAssemblerM3/Linux20/REPORT.md`
-- For the bugs that motivated it: `.../Linux17/REPORT.md`, `.../Linux18/REPORT.md` and
-  `.../Linux19/REPORT.md`, in the same folder. Each has an "Orchestrator review" section at the end.
-- Code, as needed:
-  - `Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp` (plan building: SurfaceWorld vs
-    FloatingIslands chunk conversion);
-  - `Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelStrateManager.cpp` and `Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelStrateTypes.h`
-    (strate slots and params);
-  - `Standalone/Core/src/ShapeWorldInternal.h` (`FResolvedStratumBounds`, `GetResolvedStratumBounds`);
-  - `Standalone/Core/src/FarShellsInternal.h` (`AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings`);
-  - `Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelDensityPrimitives.h` (boundary seals);
-  - `CLAUDE.md`, and `ARCHITECTURE.md` (§8) for the hard rules.
-
-## The owner's direction
-
-The owner is Jahni. Quotes:
-- "Everything should use a parameter like on the strate, saying which voxel size it is, by default
-  25 for everyone, same for island."
-- "Our system should be in different categories: the director/orchestrator, the generators (all
-  using the same kind of format, helper functions … from a shared library like noise functions) and
-  the mesher; the generators are dictated by our current strate parameters."
-- "The voxel size shouldn't dictate the size of a chunk … wouldn't it be better to have like Unreal
-  unit distance, and have x voxels fill it?"
-- "Any strate should have a ceiling, since we're underground."
-- "The ceiling height is decided by the strate parameter, it's not something unique to sky island."
-- Now: **"we need proper strate structure, knowing where each starts etc."**, including the strate
-  **bedrocks (ceiling and floor)**.
-
-## What I (the orchestrator) recommended, which he wants judged
-
-1. **Layout is authored in metres;** each strate has a voxel size (default 25 cm); internal tiles
-   stay 32³ voxels. Units cost nothing at run time, while the voxel count does.
-2. **Decision 1 (preservation):** when converting today's chunk-based strate parameters to metres,
-   keep every strate exactly where it currently is in the generated world, including any gap or
-   overlap that the current 8 m (SurfaceWorld) vs 4 m (FloatingIslands) per-chunk mismatch creates.
-   Report those gaps and overlaps, then tune in metres. The alternative is to force them to meet
-   during the migration.
-3. **Decision 2:** allow step 5 of the migration (an explicit, LOD-stable interface surface) to
-   change SurfaceWorld LOD2 output near strate boundaries, to fix the owner's "ledges" (cross-LOD
-   ring steps of up to 1.5 m and 7.7 m at the FloatingIslands/SurfaceWorld interface). Near-player
-   terrain away from boundaries must stay identical.
-
-## Questions (answer each)
-
-1. **Are the two decisions and the direction right?** Say where you'd decide differently, and why.
-   Is preserving today's possibly-inconsistent bounds the right first step, or does it entrench a
-   bug? Is there a better migration order?
-2. **Propose a proper strate structure.** A concrete data model the director owns. For each strate:
-   - its stable ID and order;
-   - top and bottom in metres;
-   - **floor bedrock and ceiling bedrock:** thickness in metres, material, whether players can dig
-     through, and how passages pierce them;
-   - its voxel size;
-   - its generator and recipe;
-   - its interfaces to the strate above and below: solid bedrock band, open void, passage
-     placement.
-
-   Define the invariants: no overlaps; every metre owned by exactly one strate or one explicit
-   bedrock/gap band; ceiling and floor always closed, except at passages; contiguous or explicit
-   gaps. Show how "where each strate starts and ends" becomes a single source of truth that every
-   generator and the mesher read, never re-derive.
-3. **Bedrock as geometry.** Should a ceiling or floor be a density band (a seal), an explicit
-   surface the mesher knows about, or both? Weigh LOD stability (the ledge problem: thin seals
-   extract at different heights per LOD), collision, player digging, multiplayer determinism, and
-   cost. Give a recommendation.
-4. **What in the L20 design would you change, cut, or reorder?** Name the top 3 risks.
-5. **The smallest first implementation step** that delivers the strate structure without moving the
-   approved SurfaceWorld world, and its acceptance test.

-# World Assembler L21 — resolved strate layout
-
-This round adds a read-only layout snapshot and validator. It does not change density or mesh
-evaluation.
-
-## Snapshot and current stack
-
-World identity is `owner-world/seed/0`; Core voxel size is 0.25 m, owner voxel size is 0.125 m, and
-all lattice origins are `(0,0,0)`. Intervals below are half-open `[bottom, top)` metres. Stable strate
-IDs are `owner-world/seed/0/strate/<index>/generator/<kind>`. The shared Core record uses canonical
-JSON schema v1 and an FNV-1a payload identity.
-
-The required structure, top to bottom, is:
-
-```text
-strate N       ceiling band
-               content
-               bedrock band
-strate N+1     ceiling band
-               content
-               bedrock band
-```
-
-Ceiling and bedrock remain distinct bands owned by their own strate. Their nominal edges touch; a
-separate `EVoxelStrateTransition` declaration describes possible interpenetration.
-
-| Prototype | Order / stable suffix | Generator; recipe version | Interior/content (m) | Current ceiling | Current bedrock | Transition at lower interface |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| SurfaceWorld | 0 / `TunnelNetwork` | TunnelNetwork; `legacy.TunnelNetwork` v0 | `[-120, 8)` | No Core density band. Manager configures a 1 m upper `VF_ApplyBoundarySeal` at `[8,9)`, but the compiled analytic Core path does not apply it. | No Core density band. Manager configures a 1 m lower `VF_ApplyBoundarySeal` at `[-121,-120)`, but the compiled analytic Core path does not apply it. | Gradient, 2 chunks = 8 m by the 4 m manager chunk. Core does not apply it; manager/dispatch chunk widths are 4/8 m. |
-| SurfaceWorld | 1 / `SurfaceWorld` | SurfaceWorld; `SurfaceWorld.Heightfield2D` v1 | `[-632,-120)` | No separate volumetric band; cap profile is in content, with `AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings` mesh fallback. | None. | Gradient, 1 chunk = 4 m by manager units; no lower strate in this plan. Manager/dispatch widths are 4/8 m. |
-| FloatingIslands | 0 / `FloatingIslands` | FloatingIslands; `FloatingIslands.ClusterField` geometry v3 | `[-60,4)` | Active one-sided upper seal `[3.5,4)` = 0.5 m. It overlaps the content range by 0.5 m. | None in geometry v3. | Gradient, 2 chunks = 8 m. Core does not apply it; manager/dispatch widths are both 4 m. |
-| FloatingIslands | 1 / `SurfaceWorld` | SurfaceWorld; `SurfaceWorld.Heightfield2D` v1 | `[-632,-120)` | No separate volumetric band; cap profile is in content, with mesh fallback. | None. | Gradient, 1 chunk = 4 m; no lower strate in this plan. Manager/dispatch widths are 4/8 m. |
-
-Dispatch provenance is recorded per stratum in the JSON snapshot:
-
-- SurfaceWorld bounds come from `BuildSurfaceStratumPlan`, which converts each chunk with 32 Core
-  voxels = 8 m. `NativeSurfaceDensityAt` selects with `floor(CoreZ/32)`, then calls
-  `GetGeneratorTypeForChunk` / `GetStrateIndex`. The manager's owner chunk is 4 m.
-- FI bounds come from `BuildFloatingIslandStratumPlan`, which converts each 32-voxel owner chunk
-  through the 12.5/25 cm owner/Core ratio = 16 Core voxels = 4 m. `NativeFloatingIslandDensityAt`
-  uses the same conversion before the manager lookup.
-- Legacy TunnelNetwork selection uses the Core 32-voxel chunk lookup. The manager helper assigns
-  the upper strate's transition to its lower interface.
-
-SurfaceWorld strata carry four cap profiles, 33 route points and their attached passages. The FI
-strate carries four island anchors and its attached passages. The snapshot preserves these recipe
-anchors in their source fixed-point units.
-
-The owner configuration’s non-Hard transitions are currently not honored by Core at these interfaces.
-`UVoxelStrateManager::GetGenerationParams` contains legacy vector blending, but Core’s compiled
-dispatcher selects the resolved/native per-strate fields without applying that blend. FI v3 calls
-`VF_ApplyUpperBoundarySeal` for its ceiling; player edit brushes are applied after the native field,
-so that seal remains diggable. Bands default to `diggable=true`, `protected=false`; protection is an
-explicit option.
-
-```text
-Current SurfaceWorld plan, top → bottom
-  TunnelNetwork ceiling [8,9) (configured; inactive in Core density)
-  TunnelNetwork content                                      [-120,8)
-  TunnelNetwork bedrock [-121,-120) (configured; inactive in Core)
-  SurfaceWorld ceiling: none
-  SurfaceWorld content                                       [-632,-120)
-  SurfaceWorld bedrock: none
-
-Current FI prototype, top → bottom
-  FI ceiling [3.5,4) active, inset into FI content by 0.5 m
-  FI content                                                  [-60,4)
-  FI bedrock: missing
-  Unassigned interval                                        [-120,-60) = 60 m
-  SurfaceWorld ceiling: none
-  SurfaceWorld content                                       [-632,-120)
-  SurfaceWorld bedrock: none
-```
-
-The SurfaceWorld and FI content interiors therefore do not overlap: the FI prototype has a 60 m gap.
-The owner manager slots meet at −60 m when both use 4 m owner chunks, but SurfaceWorld plan/query
-dispatch converts chunks at 8 m while FI converts at 4 m. In the gap, Core answers through the
-compiled analytic FloatingIslands fallback, not either planned recipe; probes at −68 m returned
-solid density −4.125. SurfaceWorld and TunnelNetwork content interiors touch at −120 m in the
-SurfaceWorld prototype, but Core does not apply the declared Gradient there.
-
-## Compatibility validation and boundary probes
-
-Compatibility mode accepted both layouts with seven reported issues apiece. SurfaceWorld reports
-unhonored transition, 4/8 m dispatch-unit ambiguity on both strates, and missing current-field
-ceiling and bedrock bands on both. FI reports its unhonored transition, missing FI bedrock, the
-0.5 m ceiling/content overlap, the 60 m uncovered interval, and missing SurfaceWorld ceiling and
-bedrock. These are recorded as compatibility deviations, not world changes.
-
-Strict mode accepted a valid synthetic two-strate fixture. Its seven negative controls rejected:
-
-| Control | Strict check that rejects it |
-|---|---|
-| Nominal band overlap | Bedrock(N) bottom must equal ceiling(N+1) top. |
-| Nominal band gap | The same exact nominal contiguity check. |
-| Missing bedrock | `bedrock.present` is required. |
-| Missing ceiling | `ceiling.present` is required. |
-| Wrong band order | Each band kind and the ceiling → content → bedrock edges must match. |
-| Gap between bedrock(N) and ceiling(N+1) | Their nominal endpoints must be equal. |
-| Interpenetration wider than transition | Explicit overlap must be at most the mode’s limit; this control uses 4,000,001 µm against a 4,000,000 µm Gradient zone. |
-
-Hard has a 0 m limit. Gradient uses `TransitionBlendChunks × 4 m`; Interleaved adds its recorded
-two-manager-chunk warp amplitude to the blend width. The nominal bands still touch exactly; the
-separate interpenetration field records any permitted physical crossing. Current Core
-interpenetration is 0 m because it does not apply the declared blends.
-
-Each plan audited 21 points: one Core voxel (0.25 m) below, at, and above every distinct content,
-active-band, configured-band, and transition-zone endpoint. The remaining points agreed with the
-snapshot. Every disagreement was an uncovered snapshot point answered by a named compiled analytic
-fallback:
-
-| Prototype | Probe Z (m) | Actual Core dispatch | Density / occupancy |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| SurfaceWorld | −632.250 | `compiled-analytic/TunnelNetwork` | `+1`, air |
-| SurfaceWorld | 8.000, 8.250, 8.750, 9.000, 9.250 | `compiled-analytic/TunnelNetwork` | `+9.648438`, `+10.64844`, `+12.64844`, `+13.64844`, `+14.64844`; all air |

-## Identity, output parity and cost

-Snapshots round-tripped through canonical JSON. At W1/W8/W12 their bytes were identical per recipe:
-

-The 28 hash runs (both recipes, Clang `fp-contract=off` and GCC default, W1/W8/W12 and W12×5)
-matched all 12 L19 rows per run. The 14 dedicated 24 m crossing runs also matched all 12 L19

-SurfaceWorld row above; all crossing full-detail, LOD and exact-query rows matched the L19 crossing
-reference.
-
-Five interleaved hashing-off W12 pairs against L19 measured SurfaceWorld medians 1.510 s old / 1.512 s
-new (+0.14%) and FI 13.487 s old / 13.381 s new (−0.79%). The opt-in snapshot is constructed once
-at plan time, outside tile workers; ordinary standalone evaluation does not request it. No hash rows
-were produced during these pairs.
-
-Clang and GCC builds passed at 12 jobs. Final build peak process-tree/single-process RSS was
-2,697,676/450,248 KiB (Clang) and 4,570,704/897,024 KiB (GCC). The final evidence runner's maximum
-single-process RSS was 583,736 KiB. All runs used CPUs 0–11 and stayed below the per-run limit; no
-governor or system changes were made.
-
-## Failed and retried runs
-
-- An initial snapshot invocation omitted `--stream-benchmark --stream-pipeline` and exited 2; adding
-  the required flags passed.
-- Early Clang builds caught a `strates` member typo, then an audit initializer/type error. Both were
-  fixed; the final Clang builds passed.
-- The first complete evidence pass exited 1 at boundary probing because the audit read the host
-  manager after the harness had released it. Dispatch provenance was moved to Core's live selector;
-  the final audits passed.
-- One GCC build wrapper was interrupted (exit 130) while diagnosing an empty progress log, then
-  rerun successfully. No runtime/hash run timed out or exceeded 15 minutes, and no L19 hash mismatch
-  remained.
-
-## Owner note
-
-This records the present strata and confirms the selected ceiling → content → bedrock model. FI still
-has no floor in v3; SurfaceWorld has no volumetric floor or separate ceiling; the 8 m / 4 m dispatch
-conversions leave a 60 m FI-prototype gap answered by analytic fallback. Core currently ignores the
-configured transition blend at these interfaces. Bedrock and ceiling protection remain explicit
-options with diggable defaults. This round changes no world output.
-
-The Unreal adapter adds only a separate `resolved_layout` JSON field beside `world_assembly`; that
-small edit could not be compiled on this Linux machine. No async path, density evaluator, hash input,
-or recipe version changed. No commit, push, or stash was made.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude)
-
-- Merged: read-only snapshot + validator, no world change (28 hash runs and 14 crossing runs equal L19;
-  cost within noise). The Unreal adapter gains a 193-line `resolved_layout` export beside
-  `world_assembly`. It is export-only, but UNCOMPILED here; it must be built on the owner PC.
-- Key facts for the owner: the authored params put the SW top at −60 m (4 m owner chunks), Core
-  builds SW at −120…−632 m (8 m conversion); the 60 m between FI and SW is unowned and answered by
-  the analytic FloatingIslands fallback as solid. No strate has an active bedrock band; SW has no
-  ceiling band (mesh fallback only); configured Gradient transitions are ignored by Core.
-- To check next: whether the "ledges" ground seen under the islands is this fallback solid in the
-  unowned gap rather than SW terrain (L19 attributed them to SW at about −60…−73 m).

-# Linux22 — one strate-layout unit and the closed stack
-
-The owner setting is now **8 m per layout chunk** for every generator. FloatingIslands spans **+8 to −120 m** (128 m) and SurfaceWorld spans **−120 to −632 m** (512 m). Their shared boundary is −120 m, so the old 60 m gap is gone. SurfaceWorld keeps the same physical interval and content field as L21.
-
-## Stack and bands
-
-| Strate | Full interval | Ceiling | Content | Bedrock |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| FloatingIslands | +8…−120 m | +7.5…+8 m (0.5 m) | +7.5…−119.5 m (127 m) | −119.5…−120 m (0.5 m) |
-| SurfaceWorld | −120…−632 m | −120…−126.25 m (6.25 m) | −126.25…−625.75 m (499.5 m) | −625.75…−632 m (6.25 m) |
-
-```text
-z=+8.00 m    FloatingIslands ceiling outer face
-z=+7.50 m    FloatingIslands content begins
-             Islands: bottoms −63.468…−60.912 m; tops −57.419…−52.357 m
-z=−119.50 m  FloatingIslands bedrock inner face
-z=−120.00 m  FI/SW boundary: FI bedrock meets SW ceiling; no gap
-z=−126.25 m  SurfaceWorld content begins; cap profiles rise above here
-z=−625.75 m  SurfaceWorld bedrock inner face
-z=−632.00 m  SurfaceWorld bedrock outer face
-```
-
-The alternate owner SurfaceWorld recipe also exercises TunnelNetwork above it: TunnelNetwork uses the same +8…−120 m interval, with a 1 m ceiling, 126 m content band, and 1 m bedrock band. Every tested strate type receives both solid bands in the shared composition path. Existing `BoundarySealThickness` supplies each band’s thickness: TunnelNetwork 8 owner voxels = 1 m, FloatingIslands 4 = 0.5 m, SurfaceWorld 50 = 6.25 m. `BaseDensity` supplies solid density. Bands are diggable and unprotected by default. `InterStrateGapChunks=0` controls spacing, not band thickness; `EdgeSealThickness` remains horizontal. No new thickness parameter was needed.
-
-Visible ceilings use the shared L18/L19 boundary path, extended to floors. The authored transitions are Gradient (blend widths 2 chunks for the upper strate and 1 for SurfaceWorld), but Core still uses the explicit **Hard fallback with zero interpenetration**. The snapshot records this deviation; Gradient and Interleaved blending are not claimed as implemented.
-
-## Unit resolution and validation
-
-`StrateLayoutChunkSizeMeters` is one world setting with an 8.0 m default. The director/adapter and standalone loader resolve it to micrometres and Core fixed-point width. At 25 cm Core voxels the width is 8,192 subvoxels = 32 Core voxels; at the S1 20 cm check it is 10,240 subvoxels = 40 Core voxels. The internal 32³ Core tile remains a separate concept.
-
-Changed conversion and consumer sites:
-
-- `UVoxelStrateManager` resolves the world setting; `VoxelForgeCoreAdapter::AttachValidatedWorldAssembly` passes one fixed-point width into recipes and `ResolvedLayoutSnapshotV2`. `OwnerWorldLoader::Resolve` mirrors that resolution in the standalone path.
-- `BuildSurfaceStratumPlan` now scales chunk bounds by the resolved width instead of `CHUNK_SIZE` (32 Core voxels). `BuildFloatingIslandStratumPlan` writes the same width into geometry version 4.
-- `NativeSurfaceDensityAt` and native SurfaceWorld strata classification use snapshot width for `floor(CoreZ / width)` and bounds. FloatingIslands dispatch uses its validated snapshot recipe width. Legacy TunnelNetwork chunk lookup uses the same snapshot width.
-- Shared ceiling and floor composition, far-shell clipping, cap bounds, endpoint probes, and strict layout validation use the resolved width. `FloatingIslandManifestV1::FromJson` no longer reconstructs legacy width from Core tile size or owner/Core voxel ratio; world assembly supplies and validates the resolved value.
-
-Current owner snapshots:
-
-- SurfaceWorld recipe: `resolved-layout-v2-fnv64:96d6a8b64f73c2d8`.
-- FloatingIslands recipe: `resolved-layout-v2-fnv64:2b343bc155f181d5`.
-- 20 cm S1 snapshot: `resolved-layout-v2-fnv64:0a56caef7dd44cac`.
-
-Strict validation passed on the generated owner world for both recipes: zero issues, 7/7 negative controls rejected, and 27 boundary probes per recipe with **zero dispatch/snapshot disagreements**. Both stacks have zero unowned gap and zero undeclared band overlap. The 20 cm snapshot also passed strict validation.
-
-## SurfaceWorld clearance and spawn
-
-The clearance scan samples a 4,096 × 4,096 m area at 1 m spacing around the derived route spawn (16,785,409 samples). Clearance is ceiling inner face minus the higher of ground and cap. Negative values mean a cap pokes through the ceiling at −126.25 m.
-
-| Biome slot / ID | Max ground | Max cap/surface | Minimum sampled clearance |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|

-
-Ground/mountain surfaces stay below −313.660 m in this scan. The collisions come from cap profiles: authored `CeilingUndulation` is 1000 or 900 Core voxels (250 m or 225 m). They were not clamped. The owner can raise the strate or reduce those cap profiles. Since SurfaceWorld’s interval and content are unchanged from L21, this clearance issue is unchanged too.
-
-The SurfaceWorld plan produces 33 route points. The L1 benchmark and spawn camera now derive from `route.front`: **(9.250, 41.250, −502.848) m**, yaw 0°, pitch −22°. Route planning passed (648 candidates, 366 grade rejects, zero sweep rejects); walkability passed 5,642/5,642. The highest route point is −501.714 m, giving 375.464 m clearance to the ceiling face. FloatingIslands walkability passed 4,000/4,000.

-All six L22 captures are 1600×900 JPEGs under 50 KB (limit 300 KB). SurfaceWorld images compare with L19’s same-named views. The FI review angle is the owner-style low view at (−22, −19, −61) m; separate views look up at the ceiling and down at the new bedrock floor.

-## L19 ring tables rerun
-
-RingProbe ran on L19 and L22 meshes at the same historical cameras: SurfaceWorld (0, −35, −487.94) m and FloatingIslands (−22, −19, −22.8) m. Values are median / p95 / maximum absolute edge-height difference in centimetres, followed by no-hit edge count. These are LOD mesh-edge gaps, not gaps in the validated strate stack.

-
-The FI table changed substantially. The new bedrock floor is visible at −119.5 m and supplies flat matched samples in several coarser rings; the old L1→2 interface edge is absent in this camera’s L22 mesh. This does not implement the later full LOD-stable interface design.
-
-## Hashes, determinism, invariants, and cost

-
-For the same historical SurfaceWorld camera, L21 and L22 exact-query density/unclamped hashes match at `e4d4a8eb95b35933`; detail is `efcba20c0c70c415`, collision is `e604823a249029bf`. Full-detail hashes also match exactly: `0ee0579bd15cbbe4 / 32e5d4964d610fee / 1932b96ee4b1d910 / 69743c6bad3447dc`. Whole-view hashes differ because shared bands and complete outer strata now contribute to the mesh.
-
-Determinism passed 28/28 runs (both recipes, Clang 19 with FP contraction off and GCC 14 default; W1, W8, W12×5). The 24 m SurfaceWorld crossing passed 14/14. Resolved snapshots were byte-identical across W1/W8/W12. Final W12 smoke hashes on both post-guard binaries still match their baselines. SurfaceWorld route parity passed with 782,026 exact-query samples and zero mismatches; FloatingIslands also passed with 782,026 samples and zero mismatches. SurfaceWorld’s proof audit checked 25,927 blocks / 34,508,837 samples with zero violations. FI had zero checked blocks and 24,576 conservative unknown/fallback blocks, zero violations; it did not claim positive proof coverage. Shape readiness, base/page equivalence, and walkability audits passed.
-
-The W12 hashing-off five-pair median cost against the L21 binary was 1.613 s → 1.411 s for SurfaceWorld (−12.52%) and 11.087 s → 18.840 s for FloatingIslands (+69.93%), reflecting FI’s added 64 m of volume. Largest measured process RSS was 897,840 KiB; largest process-tree RSS was 4,603,848 KiB. Builds and runs stayed under the 6 GiB address-space limit, CPUs 0–11, at most 12 workers, and the 15/30 minute limits. The governor was unchanged.
-
-The L3 FP-contract preamble/self-test and L4 `FLazy`, L7 shared cache, L9/L12 proofs, L11 readiness/crash handling, L13 route binding, L18/L19 shared ceiling, L21 snapshot/validator, `ARCHITECTURE.md` §8.10, and CLAUDE.md async rules remain in place. The Linux22 architecture note is §8.40.

-## Unreal edits and Windows checklist
-
-Unreal edits are limited to:
-
-- `Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelSettings.h` — world setting `StrateLayoutChunkSizeMeters`, default 8.0.
-- `Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelStrateManager.h` and `Private/VoxelStrateManager.cpp` — resolve and use one layout width for manager strate bounds/lookups.
-- `Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp` — pass that width to plans and the V2 snapshot; compose the same parameter-driven ceiling and bedrock bands for each generator.
-
-The Unreal module cannot be compiled on this Linux machine. Windows checklist:
-
-1. Rebuild the VoxelForge module and confirm the setting defaults to 8.0 m.
-2. Load the owner world with FloatingIslands and SurfaceWorld; verify +8…−120 m and −120…−632 m, with no gap at −120 m.
-3. Verify ceiling and bedrock are visible and breakable, then check the route-derived SurfaceWorld spawn and cap/ceiling collisions against the captures.
-4. Run the boundary validator and compare the generated snapshot with the two Linux22 identities above.
-
-## Failed and retried runs
-
-- Three early Clang builds failed while implementation files were being synchronized: the standalone loader referenced settings/API not yet copied; the next compile found three undeclared copied-manager width references; a later attempt found a missing closing brace in the clearance audit. These were corrected; the final Clang and GCC builds passed.
-- One final smoke attempt used a nonexistent `linux22-clang-off` binary suffix and exited 127 before running a workload. It was rerun with the correct `linux22-clang` and `linux22-gcc` paths; all four W12 hash checks passed.
-- A zero-byte `build-clang-off-floor.log` has no recorded compiler output and was superseded by the successful measured final builds.
-- The clearance scan completed successfully and reported the cap collisions above; this is a world-fit finding, not a failed run. No build or run timed out or exceeded its limit.
-
-Nothing was committed, pushed, or stashed.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude)
-
-- Merged. The strict validator passes on the real owner world; SW full-detail and exact-query hashes are
-  unchanged (content did not move); FI is +8…−120 m with a bedrock floor.
-- Captures checked by me: the FI owner-angle view shows islands above a clean, flat bedrock floor with a
-  closed ceiling, and the ledges are gone. The SW rings-from-above view shows continuous terrain with no
-  visible ring steps, so the large far-ring values in the RingProbe table (up to ~108 m) are most likely the
-  probe pairing different surfaces now that bands are in view, not real breaks. Treat that table with care
-  until the probe filters by surface owner. The SW horizon is from the new route-derived spawn, so it is not
-  the same angle as L19.
-- Owner decision needed: SW cap profiles (`CeilingUndulation` 225–250 m) exceed the new ceiling band by up
-  to ~126 m; reported, not clamped.
-- Cost: FI whole view +70% (its strate doubled in volume); SW −12.5%.
-- Unreal edits (VoxelSettings `StrateLayoutChunkSizeMeters` = 8.0, StrateManager, CoreAdapter) are
-  UNCOMPILED here; Windows checklist above. CLAUDE.md's scale rule was updated to match.
-- Transitions are still Hard (recorded deviation).

-# L23 — inter-strate passage
-
-## Owner answer
-
-**After L22, Core did not have a resolved-layout passage through the new bands.** L22 exported
-`FVoxelPassage` points as `milli owner voxels` metadata, but the native FloatingIslands and
-SurfaceWorld Core paths did not use that metadata to carve the resolved bands. The legacy manager
-still has `UVoxelStrateManager::GeneratePassages`; its coordinates are in owner voxels, not metres.
-
-The owner voxel is 12.5 cm (`OwnerVoxelSizeMicrons=125000`); `voxel_size_cm=25` is the Core voxel.
-The legacy 0→1 passage therefore had upper `(-19.594, 3.137, -14.255) m` and lower
-`(-19.594, 3.137, -102.959) m`, with radius 1 m. Its lower point was still in FloatingIslands
-content (`-119.5…+7.5 m`), 23.29 m above SurfaceWorld content (`-625.75…-126.25 m`). It did not
-open the FI bedrock (`-120…-119.5 m`) and SW ceiling (`-126.25…-120 m`). The JSON also contains a
-legacy 0→0 passage; L23 plans only adjacent resolved strata.
-
-L23 now derives the passage from the director-resolved bands and route anchors. For the FI recipe,
-mouths are `(9.800, 4.571, -54.831) m` and `(9.250, 9.250, -502.608) m`. For the SurfaceWorld
-recipe the unanchored upper mouth is `(10.732, -5.775, -107.766) m`; the lower mouth is the same.
-Both locations are inside the actual content and within 24 m of `(0,0)`.
-
-## Planner, radius, and routes
-
-`UVoxelStrateManager::GeneratePassages` remains the legacy Unreal planner. L22's season manifest
-carried recipes/routes, while the adapter copied manager passage points into V2 anchors with the
-legacy units. L23's adapter and headless director convert each upper strate's `PassageConfig` to
-Core fixed units, build a V3 layout with route anchors, then call `PlanResolvedLayoutPassagesV1`.
-The planner hashes seed, upper/lower strate, connection, and salt, so peers with the same resolved
-input choose the same path. Strate moves and route changes trigger a new plan; exported root
-`passages` are not imported.
-
-The placement disk comes from `PassageConfig.DistanceMax=192` owner voxels = 24 m; when no route
-anchor is available, `DistanceMin=64` owner voxels = 8 m supplies the inner annulus. `OriginSpineRadius`
-and spawn radius are separate settings. `MouthRadius`/`MidRadius` set tunnel cross-section; Core
-enforces a 1.25 m minimum radius for the player capsule. Neither ceiling nor cap parameters changed.
-
-In the FI snapshot, route point 28 (last of 29) equals the FI departure mouth; SW route point 0
-(first of 33) equals its arrival mouth. Both route audits pass. This owner layout has exactly two
-strata, so SW has no next interface/departure mouth; its free route endpoint is
-`(54.750, 54.750, -502.308) m`.
-
-## Passage audit
-
-Capsule is 0.34 m × 1.76 m. A passage fails on any blocked capsule sample, unsupported floor probe,
-grade failure, mouth outside content/radius, route-mouth mismatch, or if the no-passage control
-does not detect blockage.
-
-| Recipe | Interfaces | Center samples | Capsule samples | Blocked | Support probes / unsupported | Grade failures | Mouths in content / radius |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| FloatingIslands → SurfaceWorld | 1/1 | 5,174 | 325,962 | 0 | 40,412 / 0 | 0 | 2/2 · 2/2 |
-| TunnelNetwork → SurfaceWorld | 1/1 | 4,513 | 284,319 | 0 | 35,254 / 0 | 0 | 2/2 · 2/2 |
-
-The deliberate no-passage controls found 17,218 blocked capsule samples (FI recipe) and 23,876
-(SurfaceWorld recipe); both were detected. FI’s 29-point route and SW’s 33-point route pass with
-0 blocked samples, 0 unsupported probes, 0 grade failures, and mouth binding 2/2. The
-SurfaceWorld-only route passes 33 points with the same zero failures and binding 1/1.
-
-The shared composition layer applies each generator field, then bedrock/ceiling bands, then the
-bounded passage carve and support shelf. Only the tunnel path opens a band. The full 0→1 capsule
-audit crosses the FI bedrock and SW ceiling; support stays below the capsule.
-The audit samples the resolved Core field by interface owner and does not reuse the old ring-table
-probe, so it does not pair band and content samples from different surface owners.
-
-Runtime passage checks covered all eight generator kinds: TunnelNetwork, FlatPlain, CrystalChamber,
-Maze, VerticalShafts, and Underwater as upper-strate fixtures; FloatingIslands in the FI recipe;
-SurfaceWorld as the real lower strate in both owner-world recipes. The SurfaceWorld-as-upper fixture
-could not produce its separate route: all 648 route candidates failed the grade filter. That fixture
-is recorded as a failed route setup, not counted as a passage pass. The real SurfaceWorld lower
-strate audits pass.
-
-## Determinism, proofs, and content hashes
-
-Clang 19 (`--fp-contract=off`) and GCC 14 (`--fp-contract=default`) builds passed. Both executables
-ran the mandatory Core FP-contraction self-test without rejection. For both recipes, W1/W8/W12×5
-across both compilers produced one distinct result per hash class. The same 28-run matrix passed the
-24 m region crossing: 314 moving tiles, stable within each recipe. Route parity passed on both
-compilers: 8/8 page pairs, 14 higher-LOD exact pairs, 782,026 exact-query samples, and one edit,
-all with zero mismatches. V3 strict validation accepted both layouts with 0 issues; all 9 malformed
-layout controls were rejected.
-
-Passage-centered uniform-proof boxes are conservatively unknown/fallback (FI: 21,504 fallback and
-unknown, 0 violations); no false certificate is emitted around the new carve. Away from the passage,
-SurfaceWorld at `(512,512,-500) m` matches the L22 baseline bit-for-bit: 27,368 certified blocks,
-36,426,808 samples, 1,304 fallbacks, 0 unknowns/violations. Full-detail hash is
-`66ac781666579e3e / 914873894a0e38c4 / ec8b03ade039cd56 / a2b621b0321d43dc` (density/mesh/payload/
-topology); whole-view hash is `ddc6d1942db48f52 / bce985905e70dac4 / 266f5a008bcf4491 /
-e6fa520c5ad2817b`. LOD0–3 and 9 exact-query hashes also match. The earlier unbounded comparison
-included the far horizon and was discarded; this comparison used render-distance 0 and max LOD 3.
-
-Changes are limited to resolved passage planning, band openings along those paths, and supported
-landings. SurfaceWorld content away from the passage is unchanged by the hashes above. L3 FP
-contract setup/self-test, L4 `FLazy`, L7 shared cache, L9/L12 proof behavior, L11 readiness/crash
-path, L13 route binding, L18/L19 shared ceiling, L21/L22 layout bands, ARCHITECTURE §8.10, and
-`CLAUDE.md` async/Epoch rules remain intact. The route and passage audits exercise L13 binding; the
-async/cache files were not edited.

-## Changes and Windows checklist
-
-Version bumps: resolved-layout snapshot V3, evaluator 9, FloatingIslands geometry 4. The only
-Unreal-side source edit is `Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp`: it binds V3
-routes/configs and invokes the resolved planner. Core and standalone sources build here; the Unreal
-adapter cannot be compiled on this Linux host.
-
-On Windows:
-
-1. Build the Editor/plugin with the updated Core header and adapter; check UHT and link.
-2. Load the owner world at seed 0 and verify strict V3 validation and stable mouth coordinates.
-3. Walk the FI route, passage, and SW route with the 0.34 m × 1.76 m capsule; inspect all three
-   capture viewpoints in-engine.
-4. Move a strate or route anchor, reload, and verify the passage is re-derived and peer-identical.
-5. Confirm SW away from the passage and its ceiling/cap parameters remain unchanged.
-
-## Failed and retried runs
-
-Failed development audit logs (all retained under `Saved/Linux/linux23/`): FI
-`audit-floating-islands.log`, `r2–r5`, `r17–r19`, `r21–r36`, `r38–r41`; SurfaceWorld
-`audit-surface-world.log`, `audit-surface-world-diagnostic.log`, `audit-surface-world-diagnostic-r2/r3`,
-and `audit-surface-world-r2–r7`, `r19`, `r21–r22`, `r24–r26`, `r28–r31`, `r33`, `r35`. The early
-failures were blocked capsule samples or unsupported landing probes. r35 still had 10 unsupported
-passage support probes; r36’s correction left 1,977 blocked capsule samples. r37 build failed on
-undeclared `begin/end`; r38 regressed to 10 unsupported probes. r39–r41 diagnostics traced support
-search across a non-monotone lower route tail; r42 build failed on `continue` inside a lambda. The
-lower-mouth split/index fix passed r43; final Clang/GCC builds and audits pass.
-
-Other retries: `plan-surface-world-r2.log` used the wrong data path; two layout-only calls omitted
-the required benchmark/pipeline flags and exited 2. The first upper-SurfaceWorld fixture failed its
-648-candidate route search as noted above. Initial offscreen renders hit the read-only Mesa cache
-location and were rerun with cache disabled and the CPU/address-space limits. Initial captures were
-also rerendered under affinity/memory limits. Camera trials were replaced by the three listed JPEGs.
-The first SurfaceWorld away hash comparison included the far horizon and was replaced with the
-bounded L22/L23 comparison. The hash parser initially reported missing rows because its regex was
-not multiline; corrected parsing found 28/28 runs and zero mismatches.
-
-Runs were pinned to CPUs 0–11 and capped at 6 GiB address space; no task exceeded 30 minutes or
-stalled for 15. This shell inherited nice level 5; an attempt to restore normal priority was denied,
-so I made no priority or governor change. No commit, push, or stash was made.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude)
-
-- Merged as a correctness fix: the strates were not connected after L22 (and Core never carved the
-  passage at all); now a planned, deterministic passage crosses FI bedrock and the SW ceiling, with a
-  capsule audit of 0 blocked / 0 unsupported and a detected negative control.
-- **The look is not yet "natural" (my capture review):** `fi-mouth.jpg` shows a stepped tube hanging in
-  FI's open void (there is no rock to carve between the island-level mouth at −54.8 m and the bedrock at
-  −119.5 m); `sw-arrival.jpg` shows flat stacked terraces; `tunnel-interface.jpg` is too close to read.
-  Owner input needed on where an FI passage should start (island vs bedrock floor) and how it should
-  look.
-- Open: the SurfaceWorld-as-upper-strate fixture can't plan its route (648/648 grade-rejected), a real
-  limit for future layouts.
-- Unreal adapter edit uncompiled here; Windows checklist above.

-# VoxelForge L24 — passages and anchor island
-
-## Owner summary
-
-Inter-strate passages are now planned in Core from the upper strate's `FStratePassageConfig`, for every generator. The public default is **Worm**: a gently graded, deterministic meander with variable radius and rough walls. Straight, Spiral and Cascading remain selectable per strate. FloatingIslands sets its upper passage to **Spiral** and gets a unique anchor island with a helical ramp down inside a rock root to the bedrock floor; the passage then continues through the SurfaceWorld ceiling. The other islands remain floating.
-
-The seed-derived anchor is stable island ordinal 2 at about `(9.800, 4.571) m`, within the 24 m placement disk; its mouth phase also hashes the seed and stable island ID. The root radius is 6 m, the helix radius is 3 m and the bore radius is at least 1.5 m, leaving 1.5 m nominal rock between the bore and root edge before bounded relief. The authored two-turn minimum extends to 19 turns to keep the 64 m descent under the 10.8-degree target. The root reaches the bedrock floor at about `-119.5 m`. The FI route departure is bound to the island mouth. Island placement hashes and ordinals for the other islands are unchanged.
-
-The SurfaceWorld arrival uses its native hillside/terrain plus the passage tread; the shared carver no longer stamps a flat lower route-anchor shelf over the cave opening. The final mouth capture shows the opening from above and a few metres away.

-## Captures
-
-All are JPEGs under 300 KB. The FI exterior capture pairs a full view with a world-space half-plane cutaway; the second panel exposes the helical bore in the root above the bedrock slab. The interior image is from the audited centerline, aimed down the ramp with a 150-degree camera and camera headlamp. The SurfaceWorld arrival is an overhead view, about 7 m laterally from the mouth. Straight and Worm are left/right from matching final-source views.

-## Passage and naturalness audits
-
-The capsule is 0.34 m wide by 1.76 m high. The grade contract is 15 degrees; the planner targets at most 10.8 degrees to leave margin. Wall and ceiling relief is up to 0.24 m, gravity-facing relief is attenuated by 20%, and the floor relief stays gentler with support under the capsule. The naturalness check rejects horizontal runs longer than 8 m (segments flatter than 0.5 degrees) and requires at least 0.20 m peak-to-peak wall relief from at least 8 valid wall samples. The L23 smooth, unrelieved wall control measures 0 m relief and is detected as a failure.
-
-Final-source Clang r55 FI audit: 801 control points, 5,317 centers, 334,971 capsule samples; **0 blocked, 0 unsupported, 0 grade failures**; support samples 29,278; both mouths are in content and within radius; two route bindings pass; blocked-passage negative control detected. Naturalness: flat run 0 m, wall relief 0.793 m from 72 samples; pass. Strict V3 validator accepted the layout and rejected 9/9 malformed controls.
-
-Final-source Clang r55 SurfaceWorld style sweep:
-
-| Style | Capsule samples | Blocked / unsupported / grade failures | Wall relief | Naturalness |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
-| Straight | 284,256 | 0 / 0 / 0 | 0.441 m (10 samples) | Pass |
-| Worm | 284,949 | 0 / 0 / 0 | 0.298 m (12 samples) | Pass |
-| Spiral | 337,995 | 0 / 0 / 0 | 0.753 m (14 samples) | Pass |
-| Cascading | 287,910 | 0 / 0 / 0 | 0.435 m (14 samples) | Pass |
-
-All styles had 0 m flat runs against the 8 m limit; route bindings, blocked controls and strict validator controls also passed in each run. The earlier L23 geometry has 0 m wall relief and fails the new naturalness threshold.
-
-Audit logs are in `Saved/Linux`: `linux24-audit-fi-clang19-r55-lower-mouth.log` and `linux24-style-{straight,worm,spiral,cascading}-surface-final-r55.log`.

-## Determinism and compatibility evidence
-
-The final-source r55 worker matrix passed Clang and GCC at W1, W8, W12, and W12 repeated five times. It covers all 120 full-detail tiles and the 176-tile whole view through LOD2; every worker/repeat/compiler produced identical hashes:
-
-| Final-source view | Density | Mesh | Payload | Topology |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Full detail, 120 tiles | `657388bd79ce59a1` | `7ab35e5ea2bd80a5` | `fe853e905a362755` | `963af083379cfd25` |
-| Whole view, 176 tiles through LOD2 | `90d1f05a8c8c2406` | `c330e8944d533dd6` | `47102acb793fb854` | `354faeb5134a0aea` |
-| LOD0, 64 tiles | `25d79b76f9d0cd01` | `33a2c2fdee222be5` | `32b8a3331d984725` | `7033aba8bb626ea5` |

-Per-run logs are in `Saved/Linux` as `linux24-r55-worker-hash-fi-{clang,gcc}-l2-w1.log`, `...-w8.log`, `...-w12.log`, and `...-w12-r1.log` through `...-r5.log`. Crossing, away-field, proof, boundary and L13 logs use the same `linux24-r55-` prefix.
-
-The unrestricted r55 hash runs including LOD3 stopped after shape compilation without producing pipeline hashes; they were not counted as passes. The r54 full matrix passed Clang and GCC at W1, W8, W12, W12×5 and LOD0–8. Representative r54 hashes (before lower-mouth shelf removal) were:
-
-| View | Density | Mesh | Payload | Topology |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Full detail, 120 tiles | `e248e7f04a0eb5dc` | `09c8289f260df275` | `7501d467bebdc9b2` | `43c78d5cab335dbf` |
-| Whole view, 195 tiles | `d4833386ea55cc28` | `26863a50c8138aa6` | `46601fd8395b44ea` | `9680964dfaa5f2d1` |

-
-The r55 24 m crossing passed for FI and SurfaceWorld on both compilers: 314 entering tiles each in the full crossing run. The final-source hashed LOD0–1 crossing covered 288 entering tiles and matched across compilers. FI hashes (density/mesh/payload/topology): `9fadf809b3b081b2 / 307b09c297623cf2 / 2fe406d2bd1229d2 / 7728405d1bf07a61`. SurfaceWorld: `ace56c8f205238ad / a9c603a1248de6b8 / ea55f1f4fcc6a894 / 5ea7bc78a1b678ae`. Exact probe hashes matched the worker matrix. The r54 full-range hashed crossing also passed for FI and SurfaceWorld on both compilers (96 voxels, 314 tiles): FI `f9e89a48116c45ff / a6c8f20efcfb460f / f4df697779b2bf00 / e378f82fedc1a822`; SurfaceWorld `3561ea23485e359f / e8331620fb0fb908 / 765f7dad67c852aa / 3ccc09ac81c05d71`.
-
-SurfaceWorld away from the passage remained bit-identical to L23 on both compilers in the final-source LOD0–1 bounded comparison: 960 full-detail tiles, hashes `66ac781666579e3e / 914873894a0e38c4 / ec8b03ade039cd56 / a2b621b0321d43dc`, matching the r54/L23 baseline exactly. The r54 full whole-view hashes were `ddc6d1942db48f52 / bce985905e70dac4 / 266f5a008bcf4491 / e6fa520c5ad2817b`. Final-source r55 SurfaceWorld L9 proofs on both compilers checked 25,720 blocks / 34,233,320 samples (1,304 expected fallbacks, 0 unknown, 0 violations). Final-source r55 FI proof runs on both compilers had 2,560 expected fallbacks/unknowns, 0 checked samples and 0 violations; the boundary audit checked 27 endpoints with 0 disagreements. Final-source L13 route parity passed on both compilers: 8 page pairs, 14 higher-LOD exact pairs, 782,026 exact-query samples, 0 mismatches, one edit pair, 64 expected unknown proof blocks, 0 violations.
-
-**Final-source r55 cross-compiler reruns:** Clang build, FI passage audit, all four style audits, 120-tile worker hash matrix, 24 m crossings, L13 parity, L9 FI proof and boundary checks pass. GCC build passes; its 120-tile worker matrix, 24 m crossings, L9 FI proof and boundary checks pass. The r55 GCC FI capsule audit did not finish; the prior r54 GCC audit, style sweep, crossings, parity, proofs and full LOD0–8 hash matrix passed.
-
-## Changes and versions
-
-- Shared passage planning honours all four styles and their per-strate parameters; Worm is the public default. It adds a deterministic anchor-root record, FI helix path, bounded wall relief and the naturalness audit.
-- The owner FI upper-strate config selects Spiral. Its stable anchor/root is limited to ordinal 2; other island placements are unchanged.
-- Lower SW arrival support overlays were removed so the native terrain meets the cave mouth without stacked shelves.
-- The Linux offscreen capture helper gained a camera headlamp and optional world-space clip plane for cutaway views.
-- `WorldAssemblyEvaluatorVersion=10`; FI recipe geometry version `5`; resolved-layout snapshot remains V3.
-
-Unreal-facing edits are limited to `Source/VoxelForge/Public/VoxelStrateTypes.h` (per-strate passage fields/default) and `Source/VoxelForge/Private/VoxelForgeCoreAdapter.cpp` (forward those fields to Core). The remaining changes are shared standalone Core, audit/capture support, owner JSON and docs: `VoxelForgeCore.h`, `FloatingIslandsInternal.h`, `ResolvedLayoutInternal.h`, `ShapeWorldInternal.h`, `StreamBenchmarkPipeline.h`, `WorldAssemblyPrototype.h`, `LinuxOffscreenCapture.cpp`, and `Standalone/data/owner_world.json`. Documentation is in `ARCHITECTURE.md` §8.42 and `CODEMAP.md` §3.25. Unreal changes are source-only here and were not compiled.
-
-## Windows checklist
-
-1. Regenerate project files and build `VoxelForgeEditor Win64 Development` with the project toolchain.
-2. Confirm the FI upper-strate passage style is Spiral and the other unmodified strata use Worm; regenerate the resolved layout after changing strate passage settings.
-3. In PIE, walk from the anchor island down the root and through the SurfaceWorld arrival; check capsule clearance, support, collision and mouth transitions.
-4. Confirm the other FI islands still float, then repeat with the same seed on a second client/editor process and compare placement and passage shape.
-5. Change one strate to Straight, Worm, Spiral and Cascading in turn; regenerate and verify only that strate's passage style changes.
-
-## Failed and retried runs
-
-- Early route calibration r32–r34 found 3–4 blocked capsule samples; r35–r42 radius/bore adjustments alternated blocked and unsupported samples. r39 also failed strict validation because a mouth exceeded the placement radius.
-- r43 added diagnostics. r44 corrected XY projection. r45's 0.25 m lift produced 1,124 blocked samples and 4 unsupported; r46's 0.20 m lift left 4 unsupported; r47's 0.25 m lift produced 1,042 blocked; r48's relaxed support rule produced 5,660 blocked.
-- r49 build failed on an undeclared `DeterministicSqrt`; r50 corrected the name but still had 5,609 blocked; r51 narrowed support and reached zero blocked/unsupported. r52 removed the fixture's FI style override and restored the L23 geometry comparison.
-- r53's 0.16 m relief failed the valid-wall-sample threshold for some styles. r54 increased relief to 0.24 m and set the minimum to 8 samples; all four styles passed. r55 removed lower-mouth support shelves; Clang FI and style audits still pass.
-- GCC r55 style sweep was interrupted after its Straight case emitted capsule and naturalness PASS results, before a complete style summary. A separate GCC r55 FI capsule-audit retry remained silent and was stopped after roughly 8 minutes. GCC r54 audits passed.
-- Three unrestricted r55 stream-hash attempts (FI W1, FI W12, and SurfaceWorld W12) stopped after shape compilation with no pipeline summary. Limiting the final-source matrix to LOD0–2 completed 120 full-detail plus 56 LOD2 tiles and passed across both compilers and worker counts. A `max-clip-level=1` trial was rejected by Core's bounded 4,096-node shape compiler envelope; retrying with the supported clip limit and `max-level=1` passed.
-- An LOD0–3 FI proof invocation remained silent after shape compilation; the LOD0–1 FI proof retry and the 960-tile SurfaceWorld proof completed on both compilers with zero violations. Camera trials replaced a horizontal SW view that showed flat bands with the downward arrival view; a closer oblique trial also exposed stair-like bands and was discarded. Low-FOV interior trials showed only a close wall, so the final interior view uses a 150-degree camera and headlamp.
-- Two initial r55 capture exports at `max-level=1` wrote empty 4,380-byte mesh scenes; the renderer rejected them for containing no triangles. An unrestricted `max-level=3` capture export reached 593,068 desired tiles, grew to an incomplete 1.7 GB mesh and was stopped. Bounded exports without an explicit camera used the profile viewer start away from the anchor; repeating them at `(9.8, 4.6, -85) m` produced the intended 195-tile views. A three-value `--camera` argument was rejected (exit 2) and corrected to the required five-value form. An early bounded export with the wrong camera and coarse mesh was discarded. Initial Mesa cache writes targeted the read-only home cache and were disabled; subsequent renders used `Saved/Linux/mesa-shader-cache`. No system changes were made.
-- One initial headless invocation omitted required flags (exit 2), and one GCC binary name typo returned 127; both were corrected. The offscreen capture helper was rebuilt after adding clip-plane cutaways and brighter headlamp shading.

-No commit, push or stash was made. No Unreal build was available on this machine.

-  `ea50fd77bea1fc9f/b4344b2b80a63eb3/8839f2e0fd20290b/9c98918b7ca4e2e8`); SW 1.44 s, FI 15.3 s whole view.
-  The "unrestricted r55 runs stopped after shape compilation" were command-line issues, not a code hang.
-- Merged for: per-strate passage styles honoured in Core, Worm as the natural default, the naturalness
-  check with an L23 negative control, and the removed SW lower shelves.
-- **Not as the owner asked (my capture review):** in `straight-vs-worm.jpg` the FI helix appears as a
-  jagged spiral **ribbon hanging in open air around the pillar** (wider than the pillar, and continuing
-  below the floor), not a tunnel enclosed inside the rock root. `sw-arrival-mouth.jpg` and
-  `fi-helix-inside.jpg` are too close or blurry to judge. Next round: the helix enclosed in rock, no
-  tread or support geometry in open air, readable wide captures.
-- Unreal edits (`VoxelStrateTypes.h` passage fields/default, CoreAdapter) uncompiled here.

-# World Assembler L25 — FI helix inside the root
-
-**The ribbon came from two causes.** The shared passage compositor stamped route-mouth tread/support into native air, and the L24 6 m root could not contain this route: its measured centerline reached 5.562 m from the root axis and the mouth bore is 4.5 m. That leaves a nominal `6 - 5.562 - 4.5 = -4.062 m` wall allowance. The axis and units were correct; the support pass ignored surrounding rock, and the root was too small.
-
-L25 gates shared route-mouth support on negative pre-passage density, so it can reinforce existing rock but cannot create a shelf in air. The FI anchor root is now a relief-bearing 13.25 m nominal rock column. I chose a sturdier column with the existing uneven relief over a thin cylinder; it remains column-shaped from outside. The authored spiral stays centered on the root axis.
-
-## Root and passage measurements
-
-Axis `(9.800, 4.571) m`; helix centerline radius `2.999–5.562 m`; bore radius `4.5 m` at the mouth and `3.0 m` through the middle. The conservative wall estimate uses the largest path offset and mouth bore at every height.
-
-| Height (m) | Solid radius min / mean / max (m) |
-|---:|---:|
-| -68.209 | 12.000 / 12.129 / 12.375 |

-| -118.982 | 13.000 / 13.168 / 13.375 |
-
-Minimum measured wall allowance is `1.938 m`, above the existing `1.5 m` reserve.
-
-## Audits
-
-The authored FI Spiral passed on Clang and GCC: 61,173 capsule samples, `blocked=0`, 5,318 support samples, `unsupported=0`, `grade_failures=0`; both route bindings pass, and walkability is 1,135/1,135. Strict layout validation accepted with zero issues; malformed controls were rejected 9/9.
-
-The open-air audit sampled 813,632 passage support points at 0.25 m spacing: `violations=0`, including 11,520 route-support samples. Its L24 ungated-support negative control found 1,438 violations. Naturalness passed with a 0 m flat run and 0.767 m wall-relief peak-to-peak; the L23 smooth-wall negative control was detected at 0 m relief. The capsule, open-air, and naturalness results match between Clang and GCC.
-
-All four style overrides in both recipes passed the open-air audit (zero violations; the L24 control was detected each time). The capsule sweep has failures outside the authored FI Spiral: FI styles 0/1/3 have 7/13/6 blocked samples; SurfaceWorld styles 0/1/2/3 have 4,255/4,071/3,948/4,117 unsupported samples after the safe support gate. Their blocked/grade counts are zero. These are alternate-style walkability failures, not open-air emissions; the canonical FI Spiral and composed SurfaceWorld route pass. The individual logs are `Saved/Linux/linux25-style-*.log`.
-
-L13 parity passed on both compilers: FI 8/8 page pairs, 14 higher-LOD pairs, 782,026 exact-query samples, zero mismatches; SurfaceWorld 5 page pairs, 9 native-only pairs, 14 higher-LOD pairs, 910,651 exact-query samples, zero mismatches. Both had one passing edit pair. L9 uniform-block proofs had zero violations: SurfaceWorld checked 26,977 blocks / 35,906,387 samples; FI used its expected 21,504 fallbacks/unknowns and checked no blocks.
-
-The 24 m crossing passed both compilers and recipes. FI processed 314 moving tiles and SurfaceWorld 432; compiler hashes match per recipe. Crossing whole-view density/mesh/payload/topology hashes (FI 2,370 tiles; SurfaceWorld 2,553):
-
-- FI: `c284b42ced276f4c / f6a90d0027d8d6fe / fdec2a7f61215a1e / 60a99d7c20700cd6`
-- SurfaceWorld: `cee18b39a9271559 / c1713be06b92bd8e / fd7954350ebfacfc / c58b075a1b7f2895`
-
-## Determinism and SurfaceWorld
-
-The exact LOD0–8 hash matrix passed at W1/W8/W12 for Clang and GCC: 2,370 whole-view tiles, 960 full-detail tiles, all nine LOD rows and exact-query hashes identical across workers and compilers. Hash vectors are density/mesh/payload/topology:
-
-| Recipe | Whole view (2,370 tiles) | Full detail (960 tiles) | Exact-query density / detail / collision |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| SurfaceWorld | `8d494f8f843171b2 / 37d21941f6d9cce8 / 47248393fa2f3322 / 36d03d874daef4ae` | `ace56c8f205238ad / a9c603a1248de6b8 / ea55f1f4fcc6a894 / 5ea7bc78a1b678ae` | `c949c4df2ce6f9d9 / 114c501e2d830d94 / e6011d3a248d4849` |
-| Floating Islands | `6f0095c01b066744 / efea60f7a9c1d675 / 849c1829e1dcddd5 / 4f7cc65dc1adc234` | `d18e722b37a2479e / 0e410a8e80a3e7f7 / 0751926f0c67d8a4 / f01208bc2f7841ec` | `7b7c50ac24ccadcc / efcba20c0c70c415 / e604823a249029bf` |

-```
-
-SurfaceWorld away from the passage was directly compared with L23 in L24 and matched at 960 full-detail tiles: `66ac781666579e3e / 914873894a0e38c4 / ec8b03ade039cd56 / a2b621b0321d43dc`. L25 changes only passage/root generation and the shared passage composition region; it does not change the away-from-passage SurfaceWorld field. The L25 full-view hashes above cover a different tile selection from that away-only comparison.

-## Captures
-
-The four final captures are 1920×1080 JPEGs under `captures/`, each below 300 KB:
-
-- `fi-pillar-exterior.jpg` (43 KB): wide exterior; thick relief-bearing root, no outside ribbon.
-- `fi-pillar-cutaway.jpg` (53 KB): vertical cutaway exposing the helix and central rock.
-- `fi-helix-inside.jpg` (37 KB): headlamp on, 90° FOV, camera `(11.495, 7.047, -87.858) m` at resolved route point 200, about 2 m above the tread, aimed down the route tangent. The tight turn leaves a close, wall-heavy view; the cutaway is clearer for the full spiral.
-- `sw-arrival-mouth.jpg` (55 KB): headlamp on, 80° FOV, camera `(9.800, 4.571, -133.000) m`, 5.5 m below the lower mouth, looking up into the SW arrival.
-
-## Changes, invariants, and run history
-
-Core evaluator version is 12; FI geometry version is 7; resolved-layout schema V3 is unchanged. Source changes are in the Core passage planner/compositor, FI root geometry, and the standalone audit/hash reporting. `ARCHITECTURE.md` §8.43 and `CODEMAP.md` §3.26 document the change. The only Unreal edit is the adapter's FI geometry-version assignment (`geometryVersion = 7`); Unreal was unavailable, so that adapter edit was not compiled here.
-
-L3 FP-contract preamble/self-test, L4 `FLazy`, L7 shared cache, L9/L12 proofs, L11 readiness/crash fix, L13 route binding, L18/L19 shared ceiling, L21/L22 layout and bands, L23/L24 passages, ARCHITECTURE §8.10, and CLAUDE.md async rules remain intact. No commit, push, or stash was made.
-
-Failed or retried runs:
-
-- The first scene export omitted `--render-distance-chunks=0`; it expanded to 593,068 tiles / about 640 MB and was stopped before 15 minutes, then its partial export was removed. A render-distance-48 retry returned 844 plane-dominated tiles / 31 MB and was discarded. Clipmap-only (195 tiles) and focused 27-tile detail exports succeeded.
-- Two extra GCC audit invocations exited 2 because the headless binary needs the owner JSON as a positional path; the corrected invocation with `Standalone/data/owner_world.json` passed. The requested six-worker/compiler/recipe hash matrix itself passed.
-- Early interior camera trials missed the resolved helix centerline and showed wall-only frames; the final interior frame uses a point extracted from the current resolved layout. No build or audit exceeded 30 minutes, and no step was left stuck for 15 minutes.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude) — side branch, not merged yet
-
-- The FI helix fix is confirmed by my capture review: `fi-pillar-exterior.jpg` shows a solid relief-bearing
-  column with no outside ribbon, and `fi-pillar-cutaway.jpg` shows the helix inside it.
-- **Regression that blocks merge:** the support gate makes non-FI passages unwalkable. With the SurfaceWorld
-  recipe (the owner world's TunnelNetwork strate above SurfaceWorld), every style has ~4,000 unsupported
-  capsule samples (L24: 0). FI styles 0/1/3 have blocked samples. The owner world's real TN→SW passage is
-  affected, so a player can fall through it.

-# World Assembler L26 — passages walkable in rock
-
-**All four styles pass for both recipes.** Clang and GCC report zero blocked capsule samples, zero
-unsupported samples, zero grade failures, zero open-air violations, passing naturalness, and passing
-route bindings. The L24 open-air control and L23 smooth-wall control were detected.
-
-## Where support was missing
-
-In the owner SurfaceWorld recipe, the default Spiral passage has 1,083 control points. Its unsupported
-bridge range is segments 98–1077, a 1,957.395 m gap. Segment 98 is at about `(0,-5,-142.7) m`; segment
-1077 is at `(-4.6,-1.9,-497.4) m`. Both are inside the SurfaceWorld stratum (`-632..-120 m`), below
-its native terrain. The gap starts after the TunnelNetwork transition; it is neither TunnelNetwork
-cave air nor a stratum seam. The first L25 failure sample had only 2/5 native support probes, and
-following samples had 0/5. Their dispatch path was `SurfaceWorld-native`.
-
-Core now scans the native field sign and adds a deterministic bridge only over contiguous unsupported
-ranges. The shared density field gives the bridge at least 5 m width, 3–5 m planned thickness and
-surface relief. The audit measured two connected ends, at least 5 m width, 256/256 cross-sections,
-3.5–6 m thickness and 2.5 m relief on the default Spiral. All four SurfaceWorld styles use connected
-bridges; Floating Islands already has supporting rock and needs none. The capsule clearance gate also
-checks the resolved player capsule, fixing FI styles 0/1/3 at their bent mouth segments.
-
-The first bridge export still contained no passage mesh because tile readiness classified all nearby
-tiles as native-only. Resolved passage and bridge bounds now keep those tiles shape-dependent. The final
-local export changed `shape_free_desired` from 27/27 to 4/27 and contains the composed bridge density.
-
-## Eight-row audit
-
-Counts are from the Clang W12 run; GCC W12 matched every row. `B/U/G` means blocked, unsupported and
-grade failures. Route bindings are required bindings passed / required bindings.
-
-| Recipe | Style | Capsule samples | Support samples | B/U/G | Open-air samples / violations | Wall relief | Bindings | Bridge segments / length |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
-| SurfaceWorld | 0 | 301,140 | 32,765 | 0/0/0 | 3,887,808 / 0 | 0.472 m | 1/1 | 30–293 / 2,004.318 m |
-| SurfaceWorld | 1 | 284,949 | 31,046 | 0/0/0 | 3,707,328 / 0 | 0.449 m | 1/1 | 33–357 / 1,945.857 m |
-| SurfaceWorld | 2 | 275,877 | 30,072 | 0/0/0 | 3,664,064 / 0 | 0.410 m | 1/1 | 98–1077 / 1,957.395 m |
-| SurfaceWorld | 3 | 287,154 | 31,298 | 0/0/0 | 3,741,792 / 0 | 0.552 m | 1/1 | 34–373 / 1,980.607 m |
-| Floating Islands | 0 | 50,589 | 4,407 | 0/0/0 | 695,616 / 0 | 0.779 m | 2/2 | none |
-| Floating Islands | 1 | 57,015 | 5,060 | 0/0/0 | 742,016 / 0 | 0.806 m | 2/2 | none |
-| Floating Islands | 2 | 61,173 | 5,318 | 0/0/0 | 813,632 / 0 | 0.767 m | 2/2 | none |
-| Floating Islands | 3 | 54,369 | 4,325 | 0/0/0 | 743,456 / 0 | 0.681 m | 2/2 | none |
-
-Every row passed naturalness (0 m flat run; relief threshold 0.2 m), route binding and strict layout
-validation. The validator accepted with zero issues and rejected its malformed controls 9/9. Each L24
-open-air negative control and L23 smooth-wall negative control was detected.

-## Determinism and regressions
-
-The L25 hash command was rerun with the L26 binaries for both recipes, W1/W8/W12, Clang/GCC:
-
-```sh
-timeout 1800s taskset -c 0-11 env LP_NUM_THREADS=12 prlimit --as=6442450944 -- \

-  --recipe=<surface-world|floating-islands> Standalone/data/owner_world.json
-```
-
-All six runs per recipe matched. Hash vectors are density / mesh / payload / topology; full detail is
-960 tiles and whole view is 2,370 tiles.
-
-| Recipe | Full detail | Whole view | Exact query: density / unclamped / detail / collision |

-The 24 m crossing passed for both compilers and recipes. Each processed 314 moving tiles, with identical
-compiler hashes. Moving-tile vectors (density / mesh / payload / topology): SurfaceWorld
-`3561ea23485e359f / e8331620fb0fb908 / 765f7dad67c852aa / 3ccc09ac81c05d71`; Floating Islands
-`e3d0ea833bca4215 / 6b3d0f148ed83d93 / d6ed85f16acd895e / 9745683036522461`.
-
-SurfaceWorld away from the passage was compared directly between L25 Clang and final L26 Clang at
-`--camera=10000,10000,-100,0,0`. Full detail, whole view, all LOD0–8 rows and exact-query hashes were
-identical (12/12). Full-detail vector: `1c6abc5e9c657e98 / a1624a3c19bbe554 / bf98934c9d846f3a /
-bbdc2a6b821c66d6`; whole-view vector: `40c2be0c7bbdaf28 / 7d9ac2a85020dc7d / c378e48bab2d194f /

-137e8f6c0b03a624`.
-
-Strict validation passed on both compilers and recipes. L13 route parity passed on both compilers/recipes:
-8/8 page pairs, 14 higher-LOD pairs, one edit pair, 782,026 exact-query samples and zero mismatches.
-For L9 proofs, the passage-centered view has no eligible native blocks. At the same 10 km away-from-route
-view, SurfaceWorld checked 4,848 blocks / 6,452,688 samples with 1,296 fallbacks and zero violations
-on both compilers. Floating Islands had its expected 21,504 unknown fallbacks and zero violations.
-Final headless binary SHA-256: Clang `fc0a5a74f17566384e094cb2429d8925147dd3eb32fb925417393e00c9bb19d5`; GCC
-`54843bef3a64087e55d3eb9a76fb0856162b6ad9aeb03d6e1c204c3e91d21ca5`.
-
-Clang built with FP contraction off; GCC used its default FP mode. Both built and started without the L3
-FP-contract self-test rejecting them. Core evaluator version is 13; FI geometry remains 7 and layout
-schema V3 is unchanged. Changes are shared Core, standalone audits, Linux build output configuration,
-and ARCHITECTURE §8.44 / CODEMAP §3.27. No Unreal files changed, and no async path was added. The L4
-`FLazy`, L7 cache, L9/L12 proofs, L11 readiness/crash handling, L13 binding, L18/L19 ceiling,
-L21/L22 layout and bands, L23–L25 passage/helix, §8.10 and CLAUDE.md async rules remain intact.

-## Failed and retried runs
-
-- The first build command used an invalid `clang` variant; corrected to Clang/GCC variants. Early build
-  iterations R3–R6 had compiler errors and were corrected before final binaries were produced.
-- An unsupported `--world-assembler-audit` option exited 2; the correct option is
-  `--audit-resolved-layout-passages`. One early invocation omitted that flag and performed no passage
-  audit. Early bridge probes also segfaulted while crossing stratum dispatch; final audits use bounded
-  resolved-layout queries.
-- Support iterations R22–R30 exposed successive failures: FI style 0 had 767, then 27, then 5 blocked /
-  33 unsupported samples; an offset experiment caused 746 unsupported samples; a control-point capsule
-  reference left 7 blocked samples. Correcting the capsule reference cleared those. R30 still had SW
-  bridge sections 254/255, four SW style-1 mouth blocks, and an invalid SW style-2 bridge thickness
-  sample. R31 corrected them; final matrix is clean.
-- The first final audit batch labeled FI JSON files as Floating Islands but omitted `--recipe`, so those
-  invocations used SurfaceWorld. All 16 style audits were rerun with explicit recipe flags. An initial
-  proof run used `--force-generate`, which disables L9 block auditing; it was repeated without that flag.
-  The validator-only command also exited 2 until the required streaming flags were included; all four
-  corrected strict-validator runs passed.
-- `FloorProfileBlend` still reports its L25 alternate-style failures: SurfaceWorld style 1 is 2.544 vox
-  over the 2.000 threshold and style 3 is 3.645 vox. Both values are identical in the L25 logs; they are
-  pre-existing and are not capsule, support, open-air or naturalness failures.
-- Initial capture attempts used a wrong yaw and missed/partially missed the FI export volume. After
-  correcting the view and centering the export, the final captures above were rendered. Several inside
-  camera placements showed wall-only or void-only views; the selected interior frame is at the first
-  bridged segment.
-
-No run exceeded 30 minutes or remained stuck for 15 minutes. Exports and logs are under `Saved/Linux/`;
-this round added only this report and the four small JPEGs under `Standalone/`. An unrelated pre-existing
-untracked `Linux18/exports/` directory was left untouched. No Unreal edits, commit, push or stash were made.
-
-## Orchestrator review (Claude) — side branch, not merged
-
-- The audits pass (8/8 rows at 0/0/0), but the SW "natural bridge" is a ~2 km rock ramp spiralling through the
-  open SurfaceWorld sky from the ceiling (≈−143 m) to the ground (≈−497 m). `sw-natural-bridge-wide.jpg` and
-  `sw-passage-outside.jpg` show fragmented floating slabs with thin shard spikes: not natural, and visible
-  from far away.
-- Decision (delegated by the owner): one shared mechanism for every strate. When a passage must cross a large
-  open void inside a strate, it descends inside a natural rock column (ceiling-to-ground, like a
-  stalactite/stalagmite pair joined), with the spiral tunnel inside, generalising the L25 FI anchor root.
-  No long bridges through open air. Implemented in L27 on `wip/l25-helix`.
