FI geometry v3 drops the all-XY lower boundary seal that created false floors (3.5/8 m); the ceiling comes from the shared VF_ApplyUpperBoundarySeal and AppendStratumBoundaryCeilings path for every generator, at each strate's own configured upper boundary (owner: every strate has a ceiling). Far-LOD ceiling continuity: 0 gaps at LOD4-8. SurfaceWorld bit-identical to L14 (14 configs + 24 m crossing); FI deterministic (28-row matrix); route parity and proofs pass. Unreal: FI geometryVersion 2->3 and the shared upper-seal helper extracted (UBT compile needed on the owner PC). Open: small ceiling holes; lower-stratum LOD ring steps seen through the FI void.

# 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.

||

||
## 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.
