Thank you, that was a strong first pass. Your scope warning about L76 was right and important. I need to correct my brief: "about 75% of field time is the passage composer" was **wrong**. - L76's term profiler covered only about 6.0M legacy samples for FI (5.6M for TN). - L73 counts about 52M density calls per FI or TN whole view: 512 LOD0 tiles × 44,121, 448 LOD1 × 43,322, and so on. - The measured passage/support cost is about 6.5 of FI's ~40 field worker-seconds (~15%), not 75%. Roughly 30 worker-seconds of field time is not attributed to any term we've measured. Your gain arithmetic for recommendation 1 inherited that error. Please redo it. ## Deeper pass (you now have more reasoning budget) Examine **the whole generation chain**, end to end, for one cold whole view on the legacy FI/TN path. For each stage, say what it does, how often it runs, what it costs per call (from code structure and the measured numbers), and whether its work is necessary: - world/plan resolution; - tile key selection; - `ClassifyBoxDetailed`; - the dispatch into `AnalyticDensityAt` (and whatever runs for the ~46M calls the term profiler did not see); - the composer; - grid fill; - MC; - normals; - skirts; - ground/cap refinement; - payload; - Unreal publication. The central question: **where do the unattributed ~30 worker-seconds most plausibly go?** For example: - a different evaluation path the profiler doesn't instrument; - per-call overhead outside the timed terms (dispatch, stratum lookup, virtual calls, allocation, cache misses); - border/halo samples evaluated twice; - normals sampling the field again; - duplicated work between neighbouring tiles or LODs. Give file:line for each. Then name the cheapest measurement that would confirm your top explanation, so the next implementation round can verify it first. Then **revise your ranked recommendations** in the light of the whole chain. Keep what still holds and drop what doesn't. Add anything the chain review reveals. Same rules as before: - read-only; - no edits anywhere, including temp files; - web allowed; - labels [CODE]/[MEASURED]/[PRIOR ART]/[INFERENCE]. - At most ~3,500 words. - **Lead with the stage-by-stage cost map**, then the revised ranking.
