 SUPERSEDED ENTRY MECHANIC (Jeroen, 2026-07-21 companion hands-on — recorded as the D-226 T-1124 SS5 entry revision): NO zoom-threshold LOD swap and NO DISTRICT_WINDOW_MIN_ZOOM — the earlier zoom-headroom note is moot. The planetary heightmap view becomes FIXED: remove drag-pan/wheel-zoom of the planetary canvas IN THIS TICKET, same change as the replacement (never strand close inspection), and update the header hint text accordingly. Entry: hovering the planetary heightmap shows a rectangle cursor representing the regional-mode bounds; click descends into the regional map centered on the click point''s derived DistrictPos (float-on-center rules carry over with pan-center read as click-point). In-mode behavior unchanged (pan-only refetch, 150ms debounce, D-227 cache, border-fade). Morph transition between modes explicitly deferred — the descent may cut. Open design point: the rectangle cursor is an affordance, not to scale (n=64 = ~131km = a few px on a planetary canvas) — resolve the honest representation (true-extent rectangle + zoom-in cut, or not-to-scale reticle with the real extent labeled) without implying more coverage than real.

Proposal to evaluate WITH Araminta (SS5 is her encoding): window-local contrast stretch — normalize lightness within the window''s own elev min..max (fixed band, e.g. 0.62..0.92) with a degenerate floor (single-value window stays honestly flat), deterministic per window, mirroring how the aliveness_probe elev panel achieved its 12-level local texture.
