Tier 1. GeneratePassages placed every passage at a random angle, distance and
reach, never consulting the destination strate. The carved tube is air by
construction, so nothing looked wrong -- but whether the lower mouth joined the
destination's connected cave space was luck. A player could descend and arrive
in a sealed pocket. The primordial law was a hope.
VF_SuggestOpenPointZ is a pure free function of (archetype, params, seed, XY):
no operator stack, no StrateManager, no cache. That is deliberate. This runs
inside Initialize, where the layout is half-built and LayoutVersion is in
flight, so anything holding a manager pointer there is a re-entrancy trap.
Coverage is four archetypes of eight, and the number is the deliverable:
7 passages, 3 aimed at generator-confirmed open space with 48/48 ring samples
air, 4 falling back. The hole is not closed. It is measured, where this morning
it was invisible.
Two corrections from Codex, both mine and both would have shipped confident
nonsense: room placement is seeded by MakeStrateSeed, not the passage salt, so
my version would have queried a cave graph that does not exist; and slabs need
the world seed because that is what GetSlabDensity uses.
And one of mine caught in review: the first test sampled GetDensityAt at the
mouth and asserted air, which is true by construction because the passage carve
is a structural-post invariant. It could not fail. Replaced with a 16-point
ring outside the carve radius requiring 8/16 air -- a proxy for connectivity,
not a proof. The proof is a flood fill, which is Tier 2.
Logging: my first spec asked for a per-passage warning on fallback. It fired
572 times and turned 14 clean tests yellow, which is precisely the anti-pattern
OPSTACK-HANDOFF.md warns about -- a warning that always means "this is fine"
teaches people to ignore warnings. Now one sorted Log line per layout build.
Built clean, suite green: 17 succeeded, 0 with warnings, 0 failed.
