Task: identify the body pool with tectonics:high (or planet_class values mapping to TectonicClass::Volcanic/Active) and RECORD the pool in this ticket first — the PR #208 eyeball proved GJ380c/GJ820Bc are both tectonics:low via exhaustive two-Global color scans, don''t re-run that search blind — then capture quarter-relief vs district-relief at a true Alpine/MountainPass crop (MorphologyZone 13/14) at the same world center, matched crop, and have Araminta judge the differentiation. Reuse the pr208_driver fixed-center --step protocol (T-1157 harness inventory). Related: T-1160, PR #192, PR #208.

+MAPPING MECHANISM: server/src/atlas/district_profile.rs:296-312
+derive_tectonic_class(): BodyParams::tectonic_activity authored override first
+("volcanic"/"active"/"tidally_forced", NO column in current systems.db schema and
+no authored overrides in the wiki TOMLs — so today the override path is dead),
+else planet_class fallback: "volcanic" → Volcanic; "oceanic"/"ocean_world" →
+Active; everything else → Stable. Sanity anchors agree with the PR #208 eyeball:
+GJ380c (arid) and GJ820Bc (arid) both → Stable.
+
+THE FULL POOL (7 bodies):
+- Volcanic: GJ0c (Venus, no heightmap), GJ0f-1 (Io, no heightmap), GJ4056b
+  (heightmap, airless, relief_energy_q=1.0), GJ660Ad (Seongho Prime, heightmap,
+  thin atmosphere, relief_energy_q=1.0)
+- Active: GJ1002b (Caparica, heightmap, island world, standard atmosphere),
+  GJ103c (Vlieland, heightmap, island world, standard atmosphere), GJ447c
+  (Marevna, heightmap, ocean world) — all relief_energy_q=0.70 per D-239 §5.
+
+CAPTURE RECOMMENDATION (lead): for the true Alpine/MountainPass (MorphologyZone
+13/14) crop this ticket wants, the Active terrestrial island worlds GJ1002b and
+GJ103c are the primary candidates (coastal orogeny, standard climate — closest
+analogue to the GJ380c plains/river substitution being replaced). The Volcanic
+pair (GJ4056b, GJ660Ad) are alternates with maximum relief energy but
+airless/thin atmospheres — shield/lava-field morphology, likely NOT
+Alpine-classed; use only if the Active pair fails to produce MorphologyZone
+13/14 crops. GJ0c/GJ0f-1 lack terrain_reference and cannot open in the Atlas.
+
+CAPTURE CENTER PROBED (2026-07-25, server-side scan; scratch bins deleted, tree
+verified clean). CHOSEN BODY: GJ1002b (Caparica). GJ103c is a NEGATIVE finding —
+a full-body stride-8 scan (2,246,140 districts sampled) found only 4 isolated
+MorphologyZone-13/14 cells, none clustering; it is not a viable capture body.
+No Volcanic-pair fallback needed.
+
+PRIMARY CENTER (feed to StepCanvasViewer.jump_to, world metres):
+  (385024, -598016)   [district grid (188, -292) x DISTRICT_M=2048]
+  5x5-district neighborhood 25/25 Alpine/MountainPass; +/-40 km box 452/1681
+  (26.9%) hits; elev_q 50-100 — reads as a range, not speckle.
+
+ALTERNATES on GJ1002b: (6973440, 1361920) 23/25 dense, 18.9% box;
+(2488320, 129024) 24/25, 7.9%; (35919872, -6862848) 23/25, 16.2%;
+(29184000, -4837376) 19/25, 18.6%.
+
+METHOD (reproducible): derive_district() per district (district_profile.rs:1769)
+over cascade_snapshot_for_body(world_seed=42) + run_layer1 TerrainAnalysis —
+identical to aliveness_probe''s --render path (aliveness_probe.rs:72-85). Gate
+verified at district_profile.rs:594-712: Alpine(14) = slope_q>=40 && elev_q>=75
+&& ocean_fraction_q<20; MountainPass(13) same family, 50<=elev_q<75. Coarse
+stride-8 full-body scan -> union-find clustering -> dense stride-1 5x5-window
+refine. Both bodies confirmed planet_class=''oceanic'' -> TectonicClass::Active.
+
+VERDICT (araminta, 2026-07-25): PASS — closes the PR #192 companion concern. District shows the massif as soft formless high-elevation blobs; Quarter at the identical center resolves an elongated NW-SE ridge spine with perpendicular lobate spurs, slope stipple, and a localized feature District has no resolution to show — organized directional structure absent at District, not a rescale. Judged the harder test than the accepted GJ380c plains case and a cleaner pass. Region frame correctly shows no relief signature (a ~10km massif is near-sub-pixel at 204.8km/gridunit; Region''s job is context, no claim staked there). Evidence: scratchpad t1196/gj1002b_{quarter,district,region}.png, matched world_center (385024,-598016) proven by view-transform logs. Secondary observations ticketed separately: header-ghosting artifact (client) and elevation-white vs ice-white grammar split (visual); the dark-red speckle inside the massif is explicitly NOT actioned off one frame — re-examine only if it recurs at other Alpine sites.', 'done', 'low', 'hoshe', 'client', NULL, '2026-07-25 16:14:35.308', '2026-07-25 20:53:47.773', NULL, 'ce4cc02ea489aaa9e0fd882a2713978a', 2) ON CONFLICT(record_id) DO UPDATE SET type=excluded.type, parent_record_id=excluded.parent_record_id, title=excluded.title, description=excluded.description, status=excluded.status, priority=excluded.priority, assigned_to=excluded.assigned_to, team=excluded.team, decision_ref=excluded.decision_ref, updated_at=excluded.updated_at, deleted_at=excluded.deleted_at, hash=excluded.hash, canonical_version=excluded.canonical_version WHERE excluded.updated_at > tickets.updated_at OR (excluded.updated_at = tickets.updated_at AND excluded.hash > tickets.hash);
