Fr0zka f1fd1e0b05 docs: new acceptance bar (peer agreement, not fidelity) — and C1's documented fix is wrong
Jahni: "I do not need your work to be identical or near identical to what I had
before, only having it 99.99% at worst reproducible if two people share the same
seed, since everyone rebuilds it on multiplayer."

Recorded as OPSTACK-PLAN 2.6.1, superseding 2.6's "recognisably the same place".
Consequences, each recorded where it will be found:

- C10 closed permanently rather than parked: it measures old-path vs new-path
  agreement and the two never coexist in a shipped world.
- The equivalence tests keep their value as PORT-CORRECTNESS checks, not fidelity
  checks. Isosurface hard-fail stays; ULP grading is diagnostic only.
- C9 promoted to top open risk. "Two people share a seed" is exactly what /fp:fast
  weakens across toolchains, and a Linux dedicated server against Windows clients
  compiles the density path under opposite float models. FPSemantics = Precise is
  the fix and the IWYU debt now blocks something that matters.
- C1 unblocked: it was deferred only because it re-rolls the world's noise.

Then, doing C1's arithmetic before applying its documented one-liner: THE FIX IS
WRONG. It bounds SeedF but keeps the * 97.7 multiplier, so the coordinate term
still reaches 1.6e6 where the ULP is 0.19 — 9.5x the ~0.02/voxel step. It would
have left the bug live for mid-range seeds while closing the ticket.

The real fix deletes the multipliers: they only decorrelate the ~40 noise sites,
which is a hashing job. VoxelHash::SeedOffset(Seed, Site) gives a site-salted,
bounded, final-units offset. Bounding SeedF alone would also funnel every seed
through 16384 offsets shared by all sites; per-site salting requires a collision at
all ~40 sites instead.

The op stack has already inherited the bug via FSlabVoidSource, so it must land in
both paths at once — and every further port copies it again.

Docs only; the C1 fix is not written.
