- Per-vertex biome lookup was the payload cost (~365 ms); far tiles now take the biome palette from a
per-tile grid. Same channels (palette, slope, border blend, UV) and ceiling/ground sections.
- Opt-in --max-clip-level=8: 6,498 -> 2,226 tiles, stream 0.876 -> 0.428 s, 1.451 s process wall.
Kept opt-in: six fixed views cannot prove every distant thin stratum survives.
- W1/W8 hashes equal across 11 outputs; routes 5642/5642; five captures pixel-identical, passage
382 px differ (max delta 16).
- Rejected with measurements: LOD6 empty-block proof (-21% samples, no wall gain), far supertiles
(no complete groups exist).
Remaining long pole: shape compile 0.854 s.
