Fr0zkaandClaude Opus 5.5 20f1b35967 research: floor-ribbon falsifier and band column cache (L106, no code merged)
A route-only floor profile cannot reproduce current support semantics: support is gated per
sample by native density < 0, player-capsule clearance, later-bore deferral and neighbouring-
passage capsule checks (the overlapping-coil tile exercises all of them). The exact per-tile
boundary-band XY column cache matched all 24 hashes but showed no consistent readiness gain,
so it is kept as a patch only (patches/band-column-cache-not-merged.patch), not merged.

Decision

Floor/support ribbon: stopped at the falsifier. A route-only floor profile cannot replace the current support decisions. Support is gated by pointwise native density (density < 0), player-capsule clearance, later-bore deferral, and neighboring-passage capsule checks. Mouth support also blends back the native field and its relief under another capsule check. The overlapping-coil tile exercises the later-bore and neighboring-capsule paths.

At W1, the ordinary FI tile (2,-2,-93,lod0) had 81,816 support-segment visits and 33,422 capsule checks, with no later-bore or other-capsule checks. The overlapping-coil tile (1,-2,-92,lod0) had 181,956 visits, 93,034 capsule checks, 3,219 later-bore checks, and 2,442 other-capsule checks. These counts matched L105. Both tiles also had identical L105/L106 density, mesh, payload, and topology hashes.

No local floor candidate was emitted, so candidate-specific crossing and capsule-clearance deltas are not measured. For a minimal hybrid, precompute route-floor geometry in the tile field while retaining the native-density gate, both capsule checks, later-bore deferral, and mouth restoration. This can remove route projection work without changing those support rules.

Boundary bands: added a per-tile XY-column cache for active transition pairs. It serves exact lattice XY only; off-grid queries still call the original exact calculation. The FI profile measured 681,651 column/pair evaluations, 4,530,549 lattice cache hits, and 75,758 exact off-grid fallbacks. A seam-centered profile measured 623,891 evaluations, 2,578,260 hits, and 21,328 fallbacks.

Verification

  • Exact hashes: 24/24 Clang/GCC × W1/W8/W12 × SW/FI/TN/VS runs matched L105 tile and whole-view hashes; zero mismatches. Source stamp: a033e6b53537f3550549a7a77f93f5a5d6594263c208cbbffc5d403f6d7ad7b5.
  • Fast tier: PASS, 274 checks, 269 PASS, 5 historical diagnostics, 0 failures. Walkability, capsule clearance, support, floor/mouth profiles, route binding, and headroom gates passed.
  • L80 readiness: the required 3-pair medians are below. Near and whole sets completed in every cell.
Stratum Near W8 Near W12 Whole W8 Whole W12
SW +4.8% −0.6% +8.7% −1.1%
FI −4.2% +0.1% −1.5% +0.6%
TN −3.4% −2.4% −2.0% −1.5%
VS −2.3% −2.4% −1.2% −1.1%

Readiness was noisy. A second full 3-pair set produced FI W12 deltas of +11.9% near and +7.6% whole; a focused 3-pair FI W12 retest measured −0.9% and −0.5%. All three result sets are under Saved/Linux/l106/readiness-paired*; I do not claim a consistent readiness speedup.

  • Captures: visually checked all nine L105/L106 pairs; every pair had 0 changed pixels. Listed views: passage/0-1/0, passage/1-2/0, and passage/2-3/0, each at upper mouth, lower mouth, and mid-50. The contact sheet shows every pair; exact PNG paths are in Saved/Linux/l106/captures/summary.json.
  • Unreal Linux Development build: PASS, 27/27 actions, -NoUBA -MaxParallelActions=4, after timing and without prlimit.
  • FI Unreal arrivals: 3/3 PASS, each settled 1,216 near tiles in 1.543–1.550 s from first admission. They ran with taskset, without prlimit.

No world behavior changed, so the evaluator version remains 216. No commit, push, or stash was made.
