jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 fab70edd5a feat(ui): the stipple says WHERE the ground is broken, not just that it is (T-1194)
RimWorld's technique 4, the reference this ticket names, works by CONTRAST: the
Rockies and Appalachians carry dense hatching and the Great Plains carry none.
Ferrath's Global carried an even wash of dots over every landmass instead —
texture present, information absent.

The cause was a constant measured on the wrong rung. RUGGEDNESS_FULL_SCALE_Q = 4
comes from Region ("d4 2.38"), but the elev_q path it gates only ever RUNS at the
orbital rungs, where relief_q is flat and the stipple falls back to it. Ferrath
Global measures a mean 1-cell elev_q gradient of 0.99, so a coherent 4-cell
baseline reaches ~4 and saturates the constant exactly: every land cell read as
fully rugged.

It now normalizes against the canvas's own measured gradient — the same
self-calibrating shape T-1240 gave the hillshade, and for the same reason: one
constant cannot serve rungs whose sample spacing differs by four orders of
magnitude. A contrast curve rides on top, because even unsaturated the linear
reading puts ordinary ground mid-range and paints grain everywhere.

Measured on Global, before -> after: 1,679 -> 1,900 distinct colours, 145.90 ->
147.39 lum spread, and the pale uplands now stipple visibly denser than the
lowlands beside them.

Recorded because it cost two wrong turns: I first guessed saturation, then
talked myself out of it after measuring a 1-CELL gradient (0.99) against a full
scale meant for the 4-CELL baseline, and shipped a contrast curve alone — which
measurably did nothing (1,679 -> 1,698), because a curve cannot separate values
already clamped to 1.0. The gamma is kept; it does its job now that there is a
range to curve. The elev_q gradient joins relief_q's in the capture readout, so
the next person tuning this can read the number instead of guessing at it.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 9b146f9e1f fix(simulation): derive at the octaves a rung can actually reconstruct (T-1240)
Region rendered as fine uniform stucco while District and Quarter, on identical
code, read as terrain. The cause was sampling: `min_wl_m` arrives as an LOD
request and defaults to 0, so every invented octave contributed at every rung.
MIN_WL_BANDS_M was meant to be the floor but is built from the rung's CELL SIZE
(2 x DISTRICT_M), which stopped being the sample spacing at the D-255 extent
inversion — a rung fixes EXTENT now and spacing falls out of the canvas size.
The bands were off by roughly the cell count, and the served path never consulted
them anyway.

The cutoff is now derived from the resolved spacing, which is what this ticket
asked for. Two things had to be measured rather than reasoned to get it right,
and both corrected me.

FIRST: the field was the culprit, not the renderer. I attributed the stucco to
the client stipple painting noise onto a smooth field. Surfacing the terrain
layer's own mean |relief_q gradient| in the capture readout settled it in one
shot: Region 18.24 steps per cell — 144 m of relief between NEIGHBOURING cells —
against District's 0.30 and Quarter's 0.07. The server was sending noise. That
diagnostic ships here for the same reason `plane_variety` did in T-1213: a noisy
field and a renderer inventing noise look identical, and one number separates
them.

SECOND: Nyquist is the wrong threshold. The first version floored at 2 x spacing,
the aliasing limit, and Region barely moved (56.16 -> 59.73 lum spread, gradient
still 18.24) because 2 samples per cycle is unaliased but renders jagged. The
rungs that already worked say what the real bar is: District reconstructs its
finest surviving octave at 34 samples per cycle, Quarter at 135. At 8x, Region
goes to 1.08 gradient and 70.01 spread, and shows ridges and valleys.

THE TRADE, taken deliberately and recorded in the tests: an 8x floor also
truncates the coast warp's 2,048 and 1,024 m octaves at Region, the band T-1160
added for "one coastline at every rung". An earlier test here asserted that band
must survive; it now asserts the opposite. Same reasoning as the relief: a
1,024 m coastline wiggle at 379.3 m per cell is 2.7 samples per cycle, so drawing
it draws noise rather than coastline character — a rung cannot show shape finer
than its own cell. The warp is amplitude-capped sub-pixel on the working grid, so
what is lost is small. If a future pass wants the warp exempt, the fix is a
relief-only floor threaded through derive_at_metres, NOT a lower multiple, which
takes the stucco back.

Global is exempt: its floor would be ~70 km and would truncate the whole warp
band, and it needs none — the orbital derive leaves relief_q flat at 50. District
(3.79 m spacing) and Quarter (0.948 m) floor below every octave in play and
derive byte-identically, which their own test pins.

Cache-safe by construction: the floor is a pure function of (rung, extent,
body_radius), all three already in the step-canvas cache key. 0.4.12 is required
anyway — this changes derived BYTES at Region, so a 0.4.11 entry holds a field
this build would never produce.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 6d4c9e92c2 feat(ui): the copse and the rocky outcrop, drawn per cover class (T-1213)
D-258 invariant 2 asks the map to show the minority the orbital summary
suppressed — clearings, marsh, rock, scrub inside a cell that reads "forest" from
space. composition.rs goes to real trouble to invent it, and the conservation
harness measures it: over a District patch on Ferrath the tally is {Barren: 175,
Forest: 16209}, so 1.07% of that ground is exposed rock.

The renderer was averaging it back out. One test, `veg >= Scrub`, at one density
and one strength: Forest, Scrub and both Riparian classes drew the IDENTICAL
mark, and Barren drew none at all. A wood looked like scrub, and bare rock was
invisible by construction — on the rungs whose whole purpose is to show what the
summary hid.

Each class now has its own grammar, differing on the three axes a mark has:
density (how much of the class's ground carries it), strength (how far it moves
the base colour), and lattice (the block size marks are decided on — bigger reads
as a clump, smaller as grain). Rock LIGHTENS where everything else darkens, which
is the point rather than a flourish: bare stone catching the light is the one
cover type brighter than the ground around it, so it separates from vegetation by
sign alone and can never read as "denser plants". It gets its own ScatterField
salt so an outcrop does not preferentially land where a copse already did.

Tuned against captures, not guessed. A first pass gave Forest a 4x4 lattice at
52% density, which produced visibly axis-aligned dark SQUARES — a 4-cell block is
8 screen px at District — and read as an artefact laid over the hillshade. It
also mistook the background for a feature: Forest is 98.9% of this frame, so
marking half of it dark is not "the occasional copse", it is a second colour
layer. Pulled back to grain at a 2x2 lattice, and the occasional thing is now the
thing that catches the eye: the outcrops read as scattered pale clusters of
exposed ground, exactly the "occasional copse/tree/rocky outcropping" that was
missing.

District holds its form through the change (lum p1-p99 74.15, against 74.43
before the cover marks and 13.72 when the rung was flat).

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 8787ee1844 feat(ui): hillshade the deep rungs — form from light across slope (T-1213)
relief_q now reaches the renderer, and the first pass spent it on brightness:
lighten where the ground is high, darken where it is low. That moved the numbers
(District 13.72 -> 77.01 lum spread) and still looked like moss, because the eye
does not read landform from absolute brightness. It reads it from light falling
ACROSS a gradient — height-shading gives a rise and a fall the same tone, so no
ridge ever reads as a ridge.

So relief drives a proper hillshade: the local gradient of the field dotted with
a light from the upper-left. The light direction is not a free choice; lit from
the lower-right the brain inverts the read and valleys pop out as ridges.

THE SCALE IS MEASURED PER CANVAS, not fixed, and the first attempt at this failed
exactly the way this file already warned a fixed gradient constant would (see
RUGGEDNESS_BASELINE_CELLS: "the same 4-cell delta reads 21.86 at Region and 0.08
at District"). With a constant full-scale of 8:

    Region 81.72 but District 77.01 -> 20.01, Quarter 42.56 -> 16.44

because at District's 3.8 m per cell neighbouring cells barely differ. The
terrain layer now measures each canvas's own mean |gradient| once per rebuild and
the hillshade normalizes against it, so one constant works at every rung.

Ladder (tooling/atlas-flatness, lum p1-p99), flat -> shipped:

    Global    145.69 -> 145.69   unchanged; relief_q is flat 50 at orbital
    Region     33.59 ->  54.30
    District   13.72 ->  74.43
    Quarter    11.01 ->  73.72

District and Quarter now read as terrain — ridgelines, valleys, and the stipple
organised into contour-like bands. Judged by eye on the captures, not by the
metric alone.

Stipple full-scale 25 -> 60. The old value was calibrated against a relief_q that
never arrived, so it was tuned to the elev_q fallback; with the real plane nearly
every land cell earned a mark and Region read as static (17,599 distinct colours,
more than twice Global's, for a quarter of the legibility). Form comes from the
hillshade now; the stipple is grain on top of it.

REGION IS NOT FIXED, and the cause is T-1240 rather than this change. It renders
as fine uniform stucco: a Region cell is 379 m of ground while the relief field's
content sits in the 128-1024 m band, so the field is at or below Nyquist and the
gradient the hillshade reads is aliasing, not slope. min_wl_m defaults to 0 on
the served path, so nothing truncates the octaves Region cannot resolve — which
is precisely what T-1240 proposes to fix. That ticket said the stale cutoff was
"currently inert"; it is now the thing capping Region, and T-1240 is updated
with the measurement.

Three tests, on direction rather than magnitude so tuning does not rewrite them:
a hill's west flank lit and east flank shadowed, a uniform field shading nothing,
and the canvas edge not drawing a rim. That last one is a bug this nearly
shipped: `_l8_value` returns 0 out of bounds and 0 on relief_q means MAXIMUM
HOLLOW, so sampling off-canvas posts a full-scale false gradient all the way
round the frame. The sample position is clamped instead.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 3ec35b87c8 fix(client): the deep rungs were flat because relief_q fell off the wire (T-1213)
`relief_q` is the one field with signal below District — elev_q's 80 m steps
quantise sub-district detail away, which is precisely why relief_q was invented.
The server has encoded it since 5eb394b36 and the terrain layer has asked for it
by name ever since. step_canvas_protocol.gd's decode dictionary never listed the
key, so `canvas.get("relief_q")` was always null and the plane arrived nowhere.
The server half of that change landed; the protocol half did not.

That is the whole reason Region and below rendered as a flat wash. Measured plane
variety at District before the fix:

    {morphology: 1, elev_q: 11, relief_q: 0, moisture_q: 25, vegetation: 3}

A 0 there means ABSENT, not constant — a distinction the capture could not make
until this commit adds it, and the reason two earlier sessions read the flatness
as a missing generator rather than a missing key.

Also spends the field properly. It drove a stipple PROBABILITY only, so a ridge
and a plain differed in dot density, which at one pixel per cell reads as noise;
and `_ruggedness()` took absf(relief_q - 50), discarding the sign the server
deliberately preserved ("a hollow and a rise are different ground... the reverse
is not recoverable"). Relief now shades continuously and signed — rises lighten,
hollows darken — UNDER the stipple rather than instead of it. Ruggedness
(unsigned) and elevation (signed) are different questions and both are worth
asking.

Ladder, before -> after (tooling/atlas-flatness, lum p1-p99):

    Global    145.69 -> 145.69   unchanged, correct: relief_q is flat 50 at
                                 orbital rungs by construction
    Region     33.59 ->  71.01   2.1x
    District   13.72 ->  77.01   5.6x
    Quarter    11.01 ->  42.56   3.9x

Structure retention Global->Quarter: 7.6% -> 29%.

NOT finished, and the ticket says so: Region now reads as heavy speckle, because
ruggedness is real data instead of an elev_q-gradient fallback and far more cells
earn a mark than the T-1194 tuning assumed; District reads as soft blobby relief,
form without directionality. Both are grammar/tuning follow-ups on a channel that
finally carries signal.

0.4.9 is a REQUIRED bump. The disk cache stores the DECODED canvas, so every
earlier entry physically lacks the field and would keep rendering flat against a
build that reads it — the first bump in this series where a warm cache is wrong
about CONTENT, not merely stale. tooling/canvas_sources.py gains
step_canvas_protocol.gd for the same reason: it decides which planes exist, the
cache stores its output, and the T-1242 gate would not have flagged this fix
while the registry stopped at ui/.../step_canvas/.

Regression cover: every protocol test passed throughout the weeks the plane was
missing, because each asserted a field it already knew about and none asserted
the SET. There is now a test walking all eight dense planes of EncodedStepCanvas,
verified by disabling the fix and watching it fail by name.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 086d9ed56e fix(client): bake the version into the build, so an export can invalidate its cache (T-1241)
current_schema_version() line-scanned res://../project.yaml at runtime. That
resolves to the repo root in a dev run and to nothing in an exported build, so a
shipped game got the "?.?.?" fallback every time. Since that tag is the Atlas
disk cache's ONLY invalidation signal, every exported build stamped and compared
the same sentinel: a canvas cached by one build would be served by every later
build, forever. T-1239 is what that failure looks like once it happens.

loading_screen.gd carried a byte-for-byte copy of the same function, so the
version shown to the player was "?.?.?" in exactly the builds where a version
string is worth showing. Both call sites now share client/scripts/build_version.gd,
which reads application/config/version out of ProjectSettings — a value Godot
bakes into the PCK, identical in the editor and in an export by construction
rather than by luck. No file IO, no fallback branch.

project.yaml stays the source of truth (CLAUDE.md); client/project.godot mirrors
it. A mirror nobody checks would be worse than the bug it replaces -- the old
code failed loudly everywhere, a stale mirror fails silently -- so
tooling/check-client-version compares the two and the pre-push hook runs it
unconditionally. Not gated on "were those files in this push": drift persists on
main once introduced, and gating would let an existing drift ride along.

The test this replaces asserted that current_schema_version() did not return its
fallback, and passed -- in the one environment where the code under test worked.
Three tests now pin the property that actually matters: a real version, sourced
from the baked setting, matching project.yaml.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 07ed2a47ab fix(client): the Atlas was replaying a cache from a build that no longer existed (T-1239)
Ferrath's Global map drew no rivers at native resolution: 375 courses arrived
and 0 were drawn. The report suspected the D-261 length cull or the water
truncation. Both were innocent, and so was the renderer.

The client served the canvas from its own disk cache (T-1183). Every payload
for GJ820Bc predated T-1237 (4e503c356), which replaced one-course-per-D8-hop
with one-course-per-river -- so the map was drawing 375 hop fragments whose
longest run was 106 km, all of them under D-261's read-as-a-line floor. Same
build, same scenario, same 3440x1440, cache the only difference:

  stale   courses=375  runs=180  longest=6.0px  (~106 km)   drawn=0
  cold    courses=73   runs=23   longest=93.2px (~1,644 km) drawn=18

It looked resolution-dependent because it wasn't a resolution at all: 960x540
resolves to an 814x407 canvas, a key never cached, so it missed and re-derived
correctly. 3440x1440 resolves to 1080x540, which had an entry from 2026-08-06.
During the stale capture the server logged no course production whatsoever --
the canvas never came from it.

The cache's only invalidation signal is project.yaml's version, and 4e503c356
changed how canvases are generated without touching it, so hop-shaped entries
stayed valid. All 13 stale entries are stamped 0.4.5. 0.4.6 forces them to miss;
that, not clearing a local directory, is what repairs a player's Atlas.

The harness let this hide for eight days, in two ways now fixed. It ran against
the developer's persistent user:// cache, so a capture could render a canvas
built by a build that no longer existed -- and any golden shot in that window
silently inherited it; user:// is now isolated per run. And it sent server
stderr to /dev/null via an already-unlinked mktemp file, so no tracing from a
capture was ever reachable; the log now lives at .cache/visual-server.log.

The capture readout gained runs= and longest= between courses= and drawn=,
because "375 arrived, 0 drawn" is not one fact but three stages, and telling
them apart is what turned a guess between two suspects into a measurement.

Follow-ups filed: T-1241 (current_schema_version() returns its ?.?.? fallback in
an exported build, so a shipped game never invalidates on version at all) and
T-1242 (nothing enforces the generation-change/version-bump pairing -- this is
the fourth bump forced after the fact).

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 43a267439b feat(client): ScatterField — reusable seeded scatter for client-side paint
Extracted from the T-1194 stipple, which was the first of a family: graffiti
placement, cracks in textures, drifting cloud cover — presentation decisions
that must look the same when the player returns to a place, and which the
simulation has no opinion about and should not be burdened with.

THE LINE IT DRAWS. It answers "how is this drawn", never "what is here". A
cell's biome, a settlement's position, whether a wall exists — those are world
data, derived once by the server and sampled everywhere (D-255(f) mechanism B),
and the player eventually stands on them; inventing those here would put the map
and the ground in disagreement. Stated on the class so the next consumer does
not have to re-derive it: if the answer changes what is THERE it is not a
ScatterField question; if it only changes how it is DRAWN, it is.

Bit-identity with the server's Rust noise is explicitly NOT a requirement
(Jeroen: "a seed is a seed and the functional intended outcome is repetition
here"). Nothing here is compared against a server value or round-tripped
through a save, so the contract is stability across sessions, not agreement
across languages — which is precisely why paint belongs on this side: it buys
visual density with no cross-language determinism burden.

Seeded from GameState.world_seed, so two playthroughs scatter differently and
one playthrough is stable forever.

API: domain() resolves a name to a salt ONCE (the first consumer runs ~700,000
times per canvas rebuild, so the hot calls take an int, never a string);
value/chance/pick/jitter for discrete marks; smooth() for continuous fields
like cloud cover; an optional time axis for animation. Domains keep consumers
uncorrelated — without them graffiti and cracks at the same wall coordinate
would mark identical spots and read as one artefact.

The tests pin the CONTRACT, not the numbers — freezing outputs would make any
future improvement to the mixer a breaking change for no gain. They caught a
real defect immediately: (-x, -y) collided with (x, y), because negated
coordinates produce negated products and the sign-bit mask folded the pair
together, mirroring every mark west and south of the origin onto its north-east
counterpart. Not an edge case — the descent ladder's own anchor sits at
y = -5,675,959. Fixed by zigzag-encoding coordinates before mixing.

1853 client tests, 0 failed (15 new). Global capture re-verified unchanged
after migrating the stipple onto the service.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 5eb394b36f feat(simulation): relief_q — a local relief signal the deep rungs can resolve (T-1213)
The District and Quarter rungs rendered as flat colour, and the cause was not
the biome work everyone assumed. Measured on Ferrath through the production
canvas builder: at District the mean |elev_q delta| between neighbouring
gridunits is 0.02, and NOT ONE PAIR in a 1290x540 frame differs by 2.

elev_q spans 0-100 across the body's whole 8 km elevation range, so ONE STEP IS
80 METRES. A District canvas covers 2,048 m of ground, where the rolling relief
a walker navigates by is metres to tens of metres -- a fraction of a single
step. The sub-district detail IS generated (invent_primitives' scatter and
relief bands compute it) and then rounded away. Confirmed by running the
diagnostic with the octave cutoff disabled: still 0.02.

relief_q carries that same invented fine component against a scale chosen to
resolve it: 0-100 about a flat 50, RELIEF_FULL_SCALE_M = 400 m either side, so
8 m per step -- ten times finer than elev_q. elev_q keeps its body-absolute
meaning and the Atlas legend stays true.

Measured effect, elev_q vs relief_q (distinct values / mean 4-cell delta):

  Region     49 / 2.38   ->   101 / 21.86
  District   10 / 0.08   ->    35 / 0.35
  Quarter     8 / 0.02   ->    19 / 0.06

FIXED metre scale, never per-canvas normalization: the value for a piece of
ground must not depend on what else is in frame, or the same hillside changes
tone as the viewer pans. And it excludes elev_pct deliberately -- this is the
departure from the surrounding land, not height above sea level; including the
base would re-introduce the body-scale dominance that makes elev_q unusable
down here.

50 at the orbital rungs, which skip invent_primitives by design. Nothing is
lost: Global and Region still have varied elev_q (101 and 49 distinct values),
and the client takes whichever field carries signal via a max, with no
rung-name branching.

The client's ruggedness driver changes with it. It was an elev_q GRADIENT,
which cannot work across rungs -- the same 4-cell delta reads 21.86 at Region
and 0.08 at District, so any single full-scale constant either saturates one or
vanishes on the other. relief_q states relief outright, so |relief_q - 50| is
the answer directly and a fixed metre scale is immune to that by construction.

An absent plane reads FLAT, not zero -- 0 on this field means maximum relief
BELOW flat, so a payload without it would have stippled the entire map. That is
reachable: the field is #[serde(default)] so old-shape payloads decode. Two
colorize tests whose fixtures predate the plane caught it.

2004 server tests, 1838 client tests, 0 failed. clippy clean.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 566b566519 feat(ui): relief and vegetation texture over the terrain hue (T-1194)
RimWorld technique 4 from the reference map: texture as data, not decoration.

WHY IT WAS FLAT. The base layer reads hue from morphology and lightness from
elev_q. Below Global, morphology resolves to exactly ONE zone per canvas, so
the frame became a single colour whose only variation was a lightness ramp too
subtle to see. Measured on Ferrath at Region: 1 morphology zone, but 49
distinct elev_q values. The information was already on the wire and arriving —
the renderer was discarding it by expressing it in lightness alone.

TWO MARKS, NOT ONE SLIDER — the ticket's design question (b), settled by
looking at the reference rather than reasoning about it:
  - RELIEF stipple: fine, dense, darker, keyed to RUGGEDNESS not height. The
    reference's high flat plains carry none while its ranges are dense with it,
    so the driver is the local elev_q gradient; a high plateau stays clean.
  - VEGETATION blotch: coarser, softer, marked on a half-frequency lattice so
    it reads as patches rather than a second speckle at the same pitch.

Inline in the existing per-cell loop (question (a)) and always-on, base layer
only (question (c)). The TMP/MST/VEG toggles are ANALYTIC reads — stippling a
temperature ramp would corrupt the quantity being read.

THE BASELINE IS MEASURED, NOT GUESSED, and the first attempt got it wrong: a
1-cell ruggedness delta samples mostly quantization noise, reads
near-identically everywhere, and rendered as uniform static over flat green —
grain, not structure. The gradient saturates by about 4 cells (Region: d1 1.40,
d4 2.38, d8 2.41, d16 2.51), so the baseline is 4 and the full scale 4.
Verified by capture at native resolution: on Global the stipple now
concentrates on rugged ground and leaves plains clean.

WATER TAKES NEITHER MARK, and gets a flat tone. An earlier version excluded
Lake alone and stippled the entire ocean — the one surface with no relief to
express. Both open-water zones are excluded now.

The ocean also stops shading by elev_q, which is the same argument T-1188
already made for lakes and never applied here: elev_q on a water cell is the
bedrock UNDER the water, not the surface, so shading the sea by it paints
seabed relief nobody can see. Near a coast that bedrock rises steeply and
quantizes hard, which is exactly where it showed — a pale, pixellated, broken
fringe hugging every shore (Jeroen, on the capture). One tone for the sea reads
as water and lets the coastline be the edge.

D-255(e)-legal throughout: texture-space dithering of already-derived per-cell
values, decided per server cell by a hash of its own coordinates and values —
no sample invented between cells, identical on cache hit and miss.

Two colorize tests updated: both asserted the old ocean shading incidentally
while testing zero-fill/no-crash. Property under test unchanged.

1838 client tests, 0 failed.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 8eb5cb9ff7 feat(ui): the Atlas ladder bottoms out at Quarter (D-255, T-1213)
Quarter becomes the deepest navigable rung. Block and Chunk leave the ladder.

The rule, from the amendment: the deepest Atlas rung is the one at which a
screen pixel shows one subtile. At the uniform 2x2 px display ratio a
3440x1440 window gives 540 gridunits on the short axis, so Quarter's 512 m
extent draws 0.948 m per gridunit -- about one voxel per gridunit and one
0.5 m subtile per pixel. Block (0.237) and Chunk (0.119) magnify beneath the
finest datum that can exist, and measured as exactly that on Ferrath: one
morphology zone, one vegetation class, an unbroken colour field. They were not
missing a feature; there was nothing left to show them.

CHUNK ITSELF IS UNTOUCHED. It remains D-243's 64 m stream/derive unit and is
where Phase 5 derives first-person walkable content -- D-012's
load-around-the-player is expressed in chunks. Block remains the 128 m
generator planning unit. Both keep their enum variants, their extent_m answers
and their wire vocabulary. What was retired is the claim that a MAP of one is
worth looking at.

DEEP_RUNGS moved with the floor, and this is the part worth reading twice. It
is a mandatory D-255(d) hardening: a per-body retention cap bounding how much
ground an exhaustive pan can hold resident at fine spacing. Left as
[Block, Chunk] it would have guarded rungs no client can request -- dead code
-- while the accumulation gap silently re-opened under Quarter, now the finest
navigable rung at ~0.95 m per gridunit. It is now [District, Quarter]. A
control that names its targets by rung has to follow the ladder when the
ladder moves.

Six tests pinned the old floor and were updated rather than deleted, since
each was protecting a real property: the clamp tests now clamp at Quarter, and
the disk-cache tests use Region for "shallow" (District is capped now) and
Quarter for "deep". One new test pins the distinction the change turns on --
the retired rungs are absent from RUNG_LADDER but still present in
RUNG_EXTENT_M, because viewability was retired, not vocabulary.

Also removes the four capture scenarios for the retired rungs, including the
two blank goldens that had been passing against blank captures.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 5 4e503c3565 fix(simulation): a river course was one D8 hop, not a river (T-1237)
D-261 asked for contiguous river strokes, and the client got them by
chaining hops back together after the fact. That could not work: each
hop was warped independently, so a shared confluence point arrived as
two points that no longer coincided -- 375 hops rejoined into 260
pieces, and Ferrath's Global map showed scratches rather than
watercourses.

The join belongs before invention, so it now happens on the server.
river_course::build_paths walks the D8 cell graph into whole rivers
from headwater to mouth, edge-drain, or junction with an already-walked
river (including the joint cell, so a tributary visibly meets its
trunk). step_canvas emits one course per river instead of one per cell,
which also drops the per-hop warp and resampling -- a path's shape is
the terrain's, so there is nothing left to invent. It is cheaper too:
one point per river cell rather than three.

The client's _chain_runs() and its endpoint index are deleted. Runs
survive only for the reason D-261 gives them -- water splits a course,
and a river crossing a lake is genuinely two strokes that must not be
rejoined.

Pinned by a real-terrain test on GJ380c rather than a synthetic graph,
because the bug was caught by eye on real terrain: a lake must have an
outflow that runs to sea level, and no such line existed. It asserts
the property the eye was checking -- rivers are long, at least one
reaches the sea, and every path is a contiguous walk.

jpmschweitzerandClaude 474ab90663 feat(ui): rivers as cartographic strokes (D-261, T-1237)
Rivers now appear on the whole-body map for the first time. Five on Ferrath's
Global canvas, drawn as 5 px strokes that stop at the coastline.

Four rules, all client-side over existing server data, computed once on canvas
adoption rather than per draw:

  - fixed 5 px screen-space stroke at every rung
  - contiguous geometry through the river's own cells
  - never drawn over water — ocean and lake end a run
  - culled below 15 px of on-screen length (3x the stroke: below that a line
    is a square, not a river)

TWO THINGS THE MEASUREMENT FOUND THAT THE RECORD DID NOT ANTICIPATE.

First, the cull unit was wrong. A server "course" is an EDGE of the river
network — the stretch between two confluences — not a river. Culling per
course culls per segment, so a long river assembled from many short edges
vanishes entirely. Measured on Ferrath Global: 375 courses, 180 surviving the
water clip, and ZERO surviving a per-course cull. Edges are now chained
end-to-end into rivers before the cull is applied, which also delivers the
other half of D-261's "contiguous": per-course contiguity only makes each edge
unbroken; joining is what makes a river read as one line rather than dashes.
After chaining, 5 rivers survive at Global — the "major systems only from
orbit" behaviour the record predicted, arrived at by a different route.

Second, and worse: uses_orbital_derive() still read `Global | Region` while
the client's mirror had said Global-only since 2026-07-26. The D-255 amendment
claims "Region left the orbital derive set... it now takes the full
courses-aware derive". That was implemented against the MIRROR and never
against the authority, so Region kept running envelope-only and carrying no
courses — the exact thing the amendment said it had stopped doing. Both test
suites stayed green for two days because neither compares itself to the other.
Fixed here, with a note on each side pointing at the other, since the two
cannot be cross-checked automatically.

Also removes the two gates that withheld courses from the orbital rung — the
reason the whole-body map had no rivers at all. Whether a course is worth
drawing is measured in screen pixels, which only the client knows, so the
server now supplies geometry at every rung and the client decides.

The capture harness reports "drawn" alongside "courses", because "375 courses
arrived" and "375 rivers are drawn" are different claims and conflating them
is what made an empty map look like a data problem.

Client suite 1836 / 1810 passed / 26 skipped. Server suite green.

jpmschweitzerandClaude dac64a8a40 fix(client): the Atlas map scrolled itself off the world
Jeroen: 'it scrolls out of screen automatically.' It did, with no input.

_gui_input only fires while the pointer is over the Control, so
_last_mouse_pos freezes at wherever it was last seen. Leaving the map ALWAYS
means crossing an edge, so the frozen value is always inside the 24px edge
margin — and the viewer went on believing the cursor was held there, panning
forever. Moving the mouse elsewhere could not stop it, because 'elsewhere'
generates no events this Control ever hears.

NOTIFICATION_MOUSE_EXIT now resets to the same (-1,-1) sentinel the field is
born with, making 'pointer is not over the map' and 'pointer has never been
over the map' the same state. Neither should scroll, and there was already a
test asserting the second case — the first had no equivalent.

Considered and rejected: reading get_local_mouse_position() live instead of
caching. It is arguably cleaner, but it cannot be injected in a headless test,
so it would have traded a bug for the inability to prove the fix — and the
existing edge-scroll suite drives _last_mouse_pos directly.

This also explains the drift I had blamed on the capture harness (T-1236):
same defect, and the harness was simply exercising it faithfully.

jpmschweitzerandClaude 144d35d2a5 fix(client): size Global's cell count so the display ratio divides exactly
Jeroen: 'still not filling the screen... maybe we should calculate the depth
that needs to be invented based on the canvas size somehow.' That is the fix.

The old flow picked cells from the viewport, let the SERVER impose Global's
2:1 aspect, then fitted the returned extent into the drawable area with an
INTEGER pixels-per-gridunit ratio. When that extent did not divide the area
evenly, floor() dropped a whole step — and at ratio 2 the only step below is
1, i.e. half size. Worse, because the client fitted an extent it had not
chosen, the result could fill NEITHER axis.

Inverted: global_fill_extent() chooses the cell count FROM the ratio, already
shaped 2:1, so cells * RATIO is the drawn size by construction and lands
exactly on the binding axis. Verified across window shapes — 1920x1080 fills
width, 2560x1080 fills height, 2560x1440 width, 3440x1440 height, 1280x720
width. Exactly one axis fills at every shape, which is the most a 2:1
equirectangular canvas can do in an arbitrary viewport; the other letterboxes.

Global keeps its 2:1 aspect because it is 360 degrees of longitude by 180 of
latitude — the aspect cannot follow the viewport without shearing the map.

Tests pin the invariant directly: 2:1 preserved, never overflowing the
drawable area, and never leaving slack on BOTH axes.

jpmschweitzerandClaude d36d458b74 fix(client): Global drew at half size — request and fit disagreed about the legend
Jeroen: 'that does not fit the viewport'. Correct — Global rendered a real map
into roughly a quarter of the available area.

_letterbox_scale_for() reserves LEGEND_COLUMN_PX before computing the Global
fit, but _request_extent() sized the request against the FULL Control width.
Because that fit is an INTEGER pixels-per-gridunit ratio, the disagreement
does not degrade gracefully: at a 1920-wide window we asked for 960 gridunits
but could only fit floor(1628/960) = 1 px each, so the canvas drew at HALF the
intended scale with room to spare on every side.

The request is now sized to the drawable area, so both sides agree: 814
gridunits at 2 px = 1628 px, plus the 292 px legend column = exactly 1920.
Verified through the capture harness — canvas_scale went 0.5 -> 1.0.

Only Global reserves the column, so only Global adjusts; the fixed rungs are
untouched.

Also corrects the regression test I wrote yesterday, which computed its
expectation from the full viewport and so encoded the bug.

jpmschweitzerandClaude bdea719530 fix(simulation): Global was a 2x1 canvas — a sentinel outlived the extent inversion
Jeroen's Global map has been two coloured blocks all along. Not missing
hydrology, not a missing layer: serve_step_canvas_request zeroed Global's wire
extent, so every request arrived downstream as (0,0), clamped to (1,1), and
resolved to a 2x1 canvas.

That sentinel was correct when Global's size came from the body's region grid
and the client's extent field was meaningless. The D-255 extent inversion made
Global viewport-sized and this line silently outlived it. The commit titled
"size the Global rung to the viewport" was therefore correct and completely
unreachable — its tests passed by calling resolve_canvas_extent directly
rather than through the serve path, i.e. they tested the function that changed
instead of the path the data takes.

Two more places carried the same dead premise, both meaning the first canvas
ever built answered every later request and a resize could never take effect:

  - GlobalTierCache keyed on body id alone. Now treats a size mismatch as a
    miss, so the re-derive replaces it. Deliberately still ONE entry per body
    rather than one per size: keying by size would make a tier that never
    evicts accumulate an entry per viewport a player has ever used.
  - The client's make_key collapsed Global's extent to a sentinel. Centre
    stays collapsed — Global's canvas really is whole-body and origin-anchored
    — but extent is now part of the key.

project.yaml 0.4.5 forces the 2x1 canvases already on disk to miss.

Verified through the capture harness, not by reasoning: server probe shows
req=(960,540) radius=6238.4 resolved=960x480, and Ferrath's Global now renders
continents, oceans, inland lakes and polar ice where it previously rendered
one solid rectangle.

Server suite green (45 binaries), client 1830 total / 1804 passed / 26 skipped.

jpmschweitzerandClaude 1c45cd2ec8 fix(client): Global rung derived its canvas from a pre-layout viewport
Eyeballed on Lendel: the Atlas opened on a Global map that was literally two
cells — one green, one blue — stretched across the window, reporting
19,598.512 km/gridunit, which is exactly half the body's circumference.

Two bugs, both of which the D-255 extent inversion turned from harmless into
fatal.

enter() fires its first request BEFORE this Control is laid out, and a
not-yet-laid-out size is not always exactly Vector2.ZERO — a few stray pixels
sailed past the `== Vector2.ZERO` guard, so the viewer asked for a 2x2
gridunit canvas and the server's 2:1 fit floored it to 2x1. That never
mattered while Global discarded the requested extent and took its cell counts
from the body's region grid; the moment the request became the canvas size, a
transient layout artefact became the map. Any viewport below a plausible
panel size is now treated as not-laid-out.

And Global was excluded from the refetch settle entirely, so a canvas born at
the wrong size could never heal however the window was resized. That
exclusion was correct when no viewport could change Global's extent. Global
now takes the SIZE refit like every other rung, but still never the pan
re-float — its canvas is whole-body and origin-anchored, and the server
ignores `center` for it.

Both have regression tests. The second asserts on _world_center rather than
_view_offset, because _recompute_canvas_transform() legitimately re-centres
the offset on any canvas adoption and would have made the test pass for the
wrong reason.

Worth noting for the class: no test written today could have caught this.
Every one supplies an explicit viewport. The bug lived entirely in the gap
between "scene loads" and "layout completes" — a seam a live launch
exercises and a unit test does not.

Also stages governance/README.md's pql-maintained record index (D-258).

jpmschweitzerandClaude 9c8fcc2f95 feat(client): size the Global rung to the viewport, not the region grid
Global took its cell counts from `global_cell_counts()` — one gridunit per
region — and discarded the requested extent entirely. On GJ380c that produced
a 191x95 canvas built from a heightmap stored at 512x256: roughly seven times
the available cells thrown away before anything was drawn. The count also
shrank as REGION_M grew, so tuning the scale ladder silently degraded the
opener, which is why the top of the ladder got worse rather than better as
the ladder itself was refined.

Global now fits the largest 2:1 canvas inside the requested extent. It cannot
take its ASPECT from the viewport — the canvas is equirectangular whole-body,
360 degrees of longitude by 180 of latitude, and must stay 2:1 or the cells
stop being square and the map shears — so the existing letterbox absorbs the
remainder. A hostile extent is still clamped; sizing to the request is not
trusting the request.

Global also joins the deep display ratio, making the band uniform. At 5 px
per gridunit a 1920 px window asked for 384 cells across a body whose
heightmap holds 512x256 — discarding stored detail to save work already done.
At 2 px it asks for 960, which is heightmap-native: nothing thrown away,
nothing invented, and the same screen area filled either way.

A body with no radius is not a sphere (asteroid belt, oort cloud) and has no
equirectangular surface to fit. Those degrade to the region grid — a visibly
degenerate 1x1 canvas — rather than a plausible-looking lie at whatever size
the viewport happened to ask for.

project.yaml 0.4.3 -> 0.4.4 invalidates the persisted step-canvas disk cache.
District/Quarter/Block/Chunk kept identical 960x540 cell counts through the
extent inversion, so their cache keys are byte-identical while a District
canvas now covers 3.6 km of ground instead of 1,966 km — a warm cache would
silently serve pre-inversion canvases.

Global still rides the orbital derive, so it carries no courses yet; that is
the next step and is deliberately separate, being a cost question over the
whole body rather than a sizing one.

jpmschweitzerandClaude 0a0419abcc feat(client): invert the Atlas rung relation — rung sets extent, not spacing
A rung used to fix the gridunit SPACING, with the canvas extent falling out
of spacing x cell count. That is why the top of the ladder was unusable: at
REGION_M spacing a viewport-sized canvas spanned ~251,658 km — six times
around a rocky body — so the Region rung capped to the body and redrew the
Global picture pixel-for-pixel. "Global and region look the same" was not a
rendering bug; it was this relation, stated in metres.

Inverted: a rung fixes the EXTENT and the spacing falls out of the canvas
size. The shorter viewport axis spans exactly one cell of the rung's level,
so a widescreen window shows more ground on the long axis rather than less
on the short one. Every rung now shows the ground its name promises —
Region 262x466 km, District 4.1x7.3 km — and the canvas cell count is
viewport-driven and identical at every rung, so derive cost no longer varies
with depth and resize is free.

Consequences that fell out of the inversion rather than being chosen:

- Region leaves the orbital derive set. It was envelope-only because at
  251,658 km nothing finer made sense; at 262 km it is a genuine provincial
  map and takes the full courses-aware derive. Region having no rivers at
  all was much of why the top of the ladder read flat. It also joins the
  deep display ratio for the same reason.
- The S2 station-spacing floor is deleted, not retuned. It guarded an
  O(1/spacing) blowup that the inversion makes structurally impossible (the
  canvas cell count is now constant across rungs, so stations-per-course is
  bounded however deep you scroll). Kept, it would do active harm in the
  opposite direction: a 2,048 m pitch across a 3.6 km District canvas places
  two stations and draws every river as a straight line. Station placement
  gets its own generator pass.
- cap_extent_to_body is superseded and now a documented no-op. A canvas can
  no longer over-request a body by construction. The residual question —
  whether a rung's cell exceeds the whole body — is liveness, not capping,
  and is_rung_live_on_body() answers it by omitting the rung. Empirically it
  never fires on inhabited content: all six rungs are live on all 271
  populated bodies with a radius.
- snap_to_gridunit no longer truncates its multiplier to int. Post-inversion
  the deep rungs run sub-metre (Chunk ~0.12 m at a 1080 px short axis), where
  int(spacing) floors to zero and would collapse every request centre onto
  the origin.

Both sides derive spacing from the same three inputs (rung, echoed cell
extent, body radius) rather than one telling the other, so there is nothing
to keep in sync beyond the constant table itself. Body radius already
reaches the viewer via enter(); no wire change.

jpmschweitzerandClaude 36482de5d6 fix(ui): Atlas fetch readout, and one settle timer for resize and pan
Two viewer fixes from the same pair session; they share
step_canvas_viewer.gd so they land together.

FETCH READOUT. A cold derive takes seconds and the map gave no honest
sign of it. Root cause found while building the replacement: a Control
paints its own _draw() BEFORE its children, so everything the viewer
drew itself — the old DERIVING TERRAIN label AND the pending wash —
was painted UNDER the terrain canvas, visible only when no texture
existed at all, i.e. never in the slow-fetch case they existed for.
That has been the state since the stepped viewer shipped. The readout
now lives in its own overlay node added after the canvas: a centered
implant-idiom panel, DOWNLOADING MAP DATA, indeterminate sweep, 250 ms
grace so cache hits never flash it, held canvas still drawing beneath.
Indeterminate by design — the server reports no derive sub-steps, and
a progress fraction we cannot source would be invented.

ONE SETTLE TIMER, THREE TRIGGERS. The viewer never re-requested a
canvas on resize, so one derived for a smaller window letterboxed
forever in a bigger one — the map not filling the frame. And the
pan-edge refetch fired from inside the per-frame pan loop the instant
its threshold was crossed, so a held edge-scroll issued a fresh
request AND snapped the view on every frame past it. Both are the same
event: the user is still moving. A shared one-shot timer now collapses
them into a single request at the resting state, with a hard pan
threshold that still fires immediately when the canvas edge is about
to enter view (waiting there would show empty background), and
drifting back inside the soft threshold cancels the pending request.
Resize reaches this Control identically whether the OS window or a
diegetic in-implant parent changed, so both sources are covered.

Two new tests pin the soft path (schedules, does not refloat or snap)
and its cancellation; the pre-existing threshold test was verified to
still discriminate — its drift trips the new hard threshold — rather
than passing vacuously.

jpmschweitzerandClaude ae03ea2de7 perf(ui): Atlas deep rungs draw one gridunit per 2x2 px block
DISPLAY_RATIO_DEEP 1.0 -> 2.0, so a viewport-fit request at District/
Quarter/Block/Chunk asks for ~4x fewer gridunits (1920x1080: ~2.07M
cells -> ~518K) and the server-side derive cost falls with it. Texel-
exactness is preserved — the ratio stays a whole number of screen px
per gridunit, so every source texel still lands on whole pixels; only
the block size changes. Non-integer ratios are not an option here:
they reintroduce exactly the sub-pixel blur D-255's texel-exactness
exists to prevent.

Judged live by Jeroen against the 1x1 build (pair session): the deep
rungs read as crisp larger pixels rather than blur, and the speedup is
substantial. Looks were the gate.

Both transport tests that pinned the old literal now assert the
RELATIONSHIP instead — deep rungs share the constant, viewport-fit
divides by it — plus a new guard that the ratio stays whole, so the
value remains tunable without editing tests that are not about it.

Root cause was not the suspected fade race — no animation exists
anywhere under client/ui/implant (grep-proven, and settle+2 vs
settle+90 captures were byte-identical). _build_screen_header() was
the single ImplantHeader call site in the codebase that added the
header bare instead of through ImplantPanel.add_component(), so its
fixed light-gray text washed out against pale terrain (Quarter upland
scatter, District olive) while reading fine on dark ocean. Wrapped in
an ImplantPanel like every sibling — the theme's panel_bg scrim makes
it legible everywhere. One committed golden (atlas_GJ820Bc_District)
already carried the ghosting baked in, confirming the bug was static;
all 13 goldens regenerated per the header change, two independent
live-server runs byte-identical (T-1157 stability discipline).

(extracted shared by-id tails so click and intent paths are one code
path), scroll_rung, reset_view, back, open/close_atlas, set_overlay —
plus two new first-class capabilities: jump_to_center (the fixed-center
revisit pattern proven by five eyeball drivers, via a new
StepCanvasViewer.jump_to seam that reuses _scroll_rung's exact request
tail — same extent cap, same cache keys) and get_current_canvas_summary
(allocation-light reads off the raw wire dict, courses-by-class,
draw-matched settlement dedup — no PNG decode). Contract shape: dumb
AtlasAgentBridge autoload holding the app handle (untyped per the
parse-order rule), all logic in the static AtlasAgentInterface class.
observe() is side-effect-free: current state + a generic Control-walk
affordance tree. In-process consumers only this ticket (documented);
the committed reference driver (atlas_agent_driver.gd, InputSwallower +
settle-until-ready from the T-1157 inventory) replaces the scratch
eyeball drivers as the sanctioned headless-drive pattern.
select_city/open_regional dropped with recorded rationale (no
settlement hit-test affordance exists post-D-255) — diff on the ticket.
33 new tests across three suites.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 8da9670e0f feat(simulation): feature-name pipeline wired + legacy window_granularity u32 retired (T-1169, T-1159)
One commit for two tickets whose changes share the bridge/plugin
plumbing files. T-1169 connects the three dormant feature-name pieces:
atlas_feature_names populated at regen (17,891 rows — 15,190 mountain,
2,701 river — via populate_atlas_feature_names mirroring the city-names
importer; systems.db regenerated, stamp fresh), attach_feature_names
wired into the cascade's Topography block with name pools threaded
DB-free through AnalyzeBody (D-225 pattern) and assignments stored on
Layer1Output/BodyWorldState for future consumers, and a
FeatureNamesRequest/Response read proxy as the bridge's 7th tagged
envelope (D-236 pattern, both SimBridge impls). Client label DRAW is
deliberately NOT here — implementation proved both river and mountain
labels need a wire-carried position (the pool is position-free; course
polylines aren't correlated with the named attractors by construction) —
deferred to T-1195's single design pass. cascade_layer1 golden re-pinned
(additive feature_names field).

T-1159 retires the legacy u32 granularity field fully shadowed by
window_granularity_v2: AtlasLayerRequest.window_granularity,
DistrictWindowLayer.granularity echo, the u32::MAX sentinel, and
resolve_window_granularity are gone server-side; client encode paths and
the caller-less atlas_window_cache legacy key component dropped;
msgpack fixtures regenerated; the T-1150 aliasing regression test now
drives through the surviving enum field. The district_window carrier
itself survives byte-compatible per D-255(c).

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 686021bee8 fix(ui): PR #207 review round — crop-gated taper, true mitres, hybrid AA (T-1175)
Five findings from the araminta+hoshe round. Tapering now fires only on
a TRUE upstream source: the course's first raw world point is tested
against the canvas's own world bounds (conservative 1m epsilon) —
exact detection because the server crop keeps one point beyond the
window (layer_proxy crop_course_to_window lo = first_in-1, contract
documented), so crop passthroughs draw the old flat full-width cut and
never a false headwater. The averaged-normal joint is replaced by a
real mitre (half_w/cos(theta/2) recovered trig-free via the bisector
normal), clamped by a 2x mitre limit AND 0.45x the shorter adjacent
segment — restoring true perpendicular width at bends (the 29% pinch at
confluences is gone) and preventing the hairpin bowtie; the winding doc
now states the actual bounded guarantee. Antialiasing restored via the
hybrid: only the varying-width taper head draws as a ribbon; the
constant-width ~85% of every course keeps the original antialiased
draw_polyline (byte-identical for untapered courses), split at an
interpolated arc-length point sharing position and width — junction
capture evidence in .cache/screenshots/t1175-fix-round/. Flat-fill
single-element color array. Suite 24 -> 48 tests.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 40cf89c3cb feat(ui): river source tapering + width-grammar retune — map fluency pass (T-1175)
The single large polish pass Jeroen requested off the T-1170 captures,
benchmarked against RimWorld's world-map fluency. Courses now draw as
source-tapered ribbons: per-vertex width ramps from a hairline at the
upstream source to full class width over 15% of the course's arc length
(arc-length parameterized, not vertex-indexed, so point density doesn't
change the read), built as one draw_polygon ribbon with mitred joins.
Class width table retuned 0.9/1.4/2.2 -> 0.6/1.2/2.4: a clean ~2x
per-class ladder so a tributary-joins-trunk confluence reads as a join,
trunk held at its visually-proven weight, stream thinner per the
benchmark's thin/consistent/restrained grammar. Opacity untouched
(Araminta's T-1170 ruling stands). Coast-gradient item resolved as
already-correct (the coastal transition zones + elevation lightness
render the shoreline band; capture-verified) — no wire change. Stipple
assessment filed as T-1194. Eight new taper-geometry tests.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 374b195594 fix(ui): PR #205 review round — integer px-per-gridunit fit replaces fractional (T-1189, T-1192)
The fractional fit branch is deleted, resolving both review findings at
the root: tyre showed its comments cited D-255 for an exception the
record does not contain (the language came from the lead's ticket text,
not governance), and hoshe showed it returned sub-1x for a canvas
exceeding the viewport on one axis. Replacement: fit_scale_ratio()
chooses the largest integer pixels-per-gridunit R fitting both
legend-reserved axes, floored at 1 (over-viewport draws native and
crops like every fixed rung) — the fine-grained integer lattice (GJ1c
1080p -> 9px/gu = 1593x792, ~98% width; 4K -> 20) that makes the
fractional hatch unnecessary. center_offset() floors to whole pixels
(half-pixel centering would blur the texel grid). Doc comments cite the
real sanction (D-255 amendment 2026-07-25, this branch). Legend column
constant is now canonical in transport, read directly by the legend
(was an independently-typed literal); its test asserts real geometry.
New regression test proves _global_body_extent clears on body switch
and never caps another body's requests.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 dec5b0bc43 feat(simulation): lake_margin_q depth band — lake shorelines gain gradient vocabulary (T-1188)
Lake edges rendered as hard step-edges while ocean coasts got multi-tone
transition bands: every coastal-transition morphology gate keys on
ocean_fraction_q, definitionally 0 inside a lake basin (hypothesis (b)
of the ticket; (a) disproven first — a shoreline-crossing sweep at
2048/512/128m plus a 10m fine sweep all land on the same continuous
crossing, so positional refinement was never broken). New
DistrictProfile.lake_margin_q (0-100 settled-hydrology depth band, from
the same bilinear filled/elevation pair the lake test already samples;
ceiling calibrated just above the observed p90 depth on GJ338Bd's 5,043
flooded cells), threaded through both derive paths onto
EncodedStepCanvas (serde-default for shape tolerance) and down the
client: protocol decode, terrain-layer plane, colorize shades Lake cells
by depth band instead of elev_q (bedrock-under-water, the wrong signal).
project.yaml 0.4.0 -> 0.4.1: the new wire field must invalidate the
client disk cache via its version tag (T-1183's D-192 mechanism).

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 c1a97166c5 feat(ui): cap rung extents to the body + fit/center the Global canvas (T-1189, T-1192)
The two client fixes for the Atlas frames Jeroen flagged. Region rung no
longer requests more planet than exists: cap_extent_to_body() caps the
viewport-fit extent at the body's own region grid (the Global canvas
extent echo — cols=regions_per_equator, rows=cols/2), matched by gridunit
SPACING not rung name, applied before the request/cache key is built;
cold-start scroll-before-Global-echo requests uncapped and lets the
server clamp (documented). Kills both the side-by-side continent repeat
and the past-the-pole stripe smear.

Global opener now fit-scales and centers through one shared letterbox
mechanism (center_offset/integer_fit_scale/fit_scale, 75%-coverage
integer-vs-fractional decision, NEAREST already forced on orbital rungs
per D-255's escape hatch) also used for the Region cap's letterbox
remainder. Legend column reserved before fitting — pinned to the legend's
own width by a cross-constant test, never overlapping the canvas.

Also fixes a latent crash: NOTIFICATION_RESIZED fires mid-_ready() before
children exist; null guard in the resize path.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 51fe35d00d fix(ui): harden step-canvas disk cache — PR #204 review round (T-1183)
Atomic index writes (tmp+rename), orphan-payload reconciliation sweep
folded into the background sweep, payload shape guard mirroring the
protocol's own width/height discriminator, size_bytes via get_position()
instead of a full payload re-read, and a 64-bit SHA-256 payload filename
(String.hash()'s 31-bit space made a silent wrong-map filename collision
a ~1-in-16k event per cap-full body; migration self-heals via the orphan
sweep). Tier-3 class doc rewritten to name the real D-253 seam — the
glaciation/flooded_q wire fields exist but carry static values and no
staleness signal crosses the wire; T-1190 tracks threading a wire TTL
into put(sim_ttl_sec) when the driving clock lands — replacing the false
'no sim-state wire field exists' premise. Four new tests plus a
_stub_canvas fixture helper centralizing the canvas shape contract.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 6b76e365bb feat(ui): client disk cache — FileAccess tiers beneath the LRU (D-255, T-1183)
step_canvas_disk_cache.gd: the Tier 2/3 store per D-255(d) and the
round-2 three-tier spec. Payload is the WIRE, pre-decode — store_var/
get_var round-trips the PNG-encoded PackedByteArrays natively, and
Image.load_png_from_buffer never runs in this file. One composite key
shared verbatim with Tier 1 (hash filenames for filesystem safety);
per-body index.json with malformed-index recovery (rebuild-or-discard,
never crash).

Three independent eviction mechanisms, exactly as ruled: rung-0 Global
carries a retention floor no sweep touches (now also threaded into
Tier 1 per the T-1182 handoff); Tier 2 geometry is byte-valid forever
and evicts only by time-since-last-visit (14d starting tunable, on
body-open) and LRU byte budget (256 MiB/body, 5-min coarse timer) —
two separate sweeps; Tier 3 sim-state TTL is wired and tested but has
no production caller yet (no sim-state field exists on
EncodedStepCanvas — the D-253 stub inheritance, documented).

Hardening per D-255(d), both mandatory: per-body deep-rung cap
(512 Block+Chunk entries, enforced synchronously in put(), floor- and
budget-independent — the ticket sanctions count-or-quota; count chosen
as the direct D-226(d) information-content proxy) and a schema/version
tag on every entry (project.yaml version via the existing
loading_screen line-scan idiom — D-192 co-ship makes the client
version the wire-schema version; exact-inequality mismatch = miss +
drop, NEVER decode, checked in both has() and get_canvas()).

Integration: request_now() checks Tier 2 on a Tier-1 miss (synchronous
promote), Ready responses write through to both tiers, Pending never
writes; viewer runs the visit sweep on body-open + the background
sweep on a 5-min timer.

30 new disk-cache tests + 7 request-integration + 3 sweep-wiring tests
(restart persistence, sweep independence both directions, cap
semantics, version-mismatch never-decode, corrupt-index recovery).

Tyre finding: the orphaned AtlasViewer cluster is now actually deleted
(atlas_viewer, atlas_marker_overlay, atlas_descend_geometry,
atlas_legend_panel — a sixth orphan found beyond the review list —
atlas_generation_proxy, atlas_generation_state; ~2,497 lines), with
reachability re-verified across preload/class_name/res:// strings,
every .tscn, and the standalone companion app. Test suites triaged,
not blanket-deleted: 5 pure AtlasOverlayColors tests relocated into
test_atlas_window_colors, the live type-identity regression guard
relocated into test_step_canvas_viewer, dead coverage deleted. A real
harness gap surfaced during diligence and RULED, not patched:
visual_scenarios/visual_capture golden shots call retired
continuous-zoom API — no shim (would resurrect what D-255 kills);
inventory recorded on re-scoped T-1157 (gate-invisible, manual
targets only).

Hoshe finding 1: decode_png_field now detects the [Error,
PackedByteArray] bin-shape from messagepack.gd explicitly — a genuine
msgpack bin payload decodes correctly instead of silently collapsing
to [0,0]; test built from a real round-tripped bin decode.

Hoshe finding 2: the hard zoom-out reset is wired — ascend at rung 0
with a drifted view triggers _reset_to_global (the restored HARD
condition), behavioral tests through the real input path.

Notes folded: refloat + edge-scroll test coverage, legend smoke suite,
Vector2i narrowing-safety comment with computed headroom.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 d28d24fd26 feat(ui): step-canvas map component — RTT terrain + stepped zoom (D-255, T-1182)
The two-layer client rebuild per D-255(a)(b)(e), replacing the
_canvas.scale continuous-zoom model with one viewer, one path, all six
rungs:

- step_canvas_protocol.gd: StepCanvasRequest/Response codec against
  the T-1181 wire contract — incl. the discovered png_bytes subtlety
  (rmp_serde without serde_bytes emits a msgpack int-array, not bin;
  decode repacks via PackedByteArray before load_png_from_buffer) and
  the extent-echo rule (read the server-clamped extent, never assume
  the requested one).
- step_canvas/ component: transport (six-rung ladder, cursor-anchored
  scroll steps, edge-scroll/WASD pan with re-request on edge crossing,
  hard reset-to-Global), RTT terrain layer (Image.set_pixel colorize
  per the c1 measured ruling, texture.update reuse on step-cross,
  NEAREST coarse / LINEAR fine per rung), unscaled screen-space
  annotation sibling (courses + settlement markers at literal px),
  in-memory LRU cache (Tier 1; T-1183 layers the disk tiers beneath),
  request lifecycle (pending retry, staleness gate, extent echo).
- Full _canvas.scale retirement in the same change: the zoom-scaled
  canvas model, the _zs compensation family, select_rung /
  MAX_COVERAGE_M / compute_tile_grid, the orbital-mosaic-vs-window
  two-path split, _view_zoom/_canonical_fit_zoom — 10 source files
  deleted; their 14 test suites deleted with them (T-1157 dead-goldens
  rule; replacement visual-capture coverage is re-scoped T-1157).
- Surviving surfaces kept per the ticket: atlas_window_cache.gd's LRU
  shape (the ticket's named file atlas_window_tile_set.gd was the
  retiring orchestrator; the real LRU shape lives in
  atlas_window_cache.gd — cited in step_canvas_cache.gd), overlay
  colors, legend/overlay-bar chrome, AtlasViewer descend geometry.

Determinism boundary per D-255(e): the client interpolates only within
the closed server-supplied input set. 7 new gdUnit suites (164 cases)
incl. a real extent-echo bug caught by its own test during
implementation. Full client suite green (exit 0) with the live-gated
suites running against a worktree server build.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 f9ab3088ab fix(ui): mouth-ring radius floored at 2x stroke — the radius-smaller-than-stroke draw_arc regime
Two separable findings from the live A/B (real driver): (1) the
original zero-ring report was a viewport-framing crop — the ring
fired all along at screen (1755,-191), above the frame under the
COVER fit; recentering via set_view proved the path live. (2) The
real bug once in-frame: at Quarter fit zoom the compensated ring
radius (5.0/7.5=0.667 canvas) fell below the floored stroke (1.0
canvas) and draw_arc's stroke filled its own hole — a solid blob,
not a ring. Bracket: 1x stroke=blob, 1.5x=hollow recovers, 2x=clean.
Fix: zoom_compensated_ring_radius() floors the radius at 2x the
paired stroke, wired through _zs_ring_radius() for both ring and
halo arcs; verified live producing a clean hollow double-ring. The
third member of the Godot sub-canvas-unit rasterizer family (width
floor, stroke-vs-width sites, now radius-vs-stroke) — all recorded
for the T-1176 render-mechanism discussion. 10 pin tests in the
stroke-width suite; revert-verified (floor drop -> named failures);

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 27fab8566a fix(ui): stroke widths floored against Godot's line-rasterizer hairline collapse (Araminta's pixel finding)
Her audit of the course captures found a uniform 1px alpha-255 line
where trunk should draw 2.2 screen px. Live A/B bracket (20/1.5/1.1/
0.6 forced widths + draw_line-vs-draw_polyline control) localized the
cause: Godot's line rasterizer floors stroke widths below ~1.0 canvas
units to hairline — the _zs arithmetic was correct (1.4/3.75=0.373
round-trips exactly); the value died at the driver. Fix: zoom_
compensated_stroke_width() (the _zs divide maxf'd at 1.0) via a
_zs_stroke() wrapper on EVERY stroke-width site (course polyline,
skeleton chords, mouth-ring arcs, basin boundary, attractor outlines
— same latent class everywhere even where not yet visible); radius
args proven unaffected and left on _zs. Honest degradation direction
documented: at high zoom effective width grows rather than pinning.
Class question resolved with printed ground truth: the original
window is genuinely single-drawable-class (trunk course degenerate at
1 point); a confluence window confirms real multi-class rendering.
The drive now prints per-course class/width/effective-px tables every
run. New 14-test stroke-width suite (own file, line-cap split) pins
the exact floor-engagement numbers and the PR#195-shape effective-
width >= table-value invariant; revert-verified (floor drop -> 4
named failures). Full client suite 3942/3942; gdlint clean.

_draw() splits into two independent gates: the Layer-1-gated skeleton
path (Region chords, clip retained) and the NEW DistrictWindowLayer-
gated course path — build_course_render_plan() (pure, render-free-

after the first fit (one line in _on_window_ready — courses would
miss every window swap post-pan). Water-clip header rewritten to

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 0b14cdb21d fix(ui): T-1172 round 2 — tile wrap resolution mirrored to the painter's own direction
Live round: the first clip removed only 133 pixels. Root cause (dossier-
traced): resolve_morphology_zone wrapped the QUERY toward a tile's raw
canonical center — the inverse of the painter's draw_col =
nearest_wrap_image(tile_center, held_center) — so seam tiles tested
containment against the wrong wrap-image and read real-but-wrong-
location land cells. Fix mirrors the painter exactly: wrap the tile's
own center toward held_center, test the (already held-wrapped) query
against that. Index math itself was confirmed correct end-to-end and
is now factored into shared AtlasWindowGeometry.cell_index_for_local_
offset() (full painter unification not applicable — the painter only
iterates forward, never reverse-looks-up; documented). Post-fix: 1082
traced positions cross-checked against actual painted pixels, 0 real
mismatches; regenerated captures show every dot/mouth on land. The one
pre-existing test encoding the buggy direction as correct was replaced
by positive+negative wrap-semantics tests (the negative one is the
reliable revert discriminator) plus a wire-accurate seam-tile fixture
with an honestly-documented proof limit (a single-tile fixture cannot
distinguish the wrap directions; the multi-tile scan tests can).
Also: two harness traps found and fixed in the lead's drive scratch —
canvas_items stretch factor (root.size now matches the 1920x1080 base
viewport) and mid-arrival snapshots (explicit is_fully_arrived wait;
the round-1 faint result was partly a 4-of-6-tiles capture). 46/46 +

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 9914dc0d91 fix(ui): T-1172 — clip river dots/confluences/mouths against the drawn waterline
Jeroen's hands-on report: rivers continuing under the ocean. Tyre's
ruling implemented: the skeleton is rung-independent, the drawn coast
is rung-indexed (warp cutoff admits more octaves per rung), so
reconciliation is a presentation-frame operation — a draw-time clip
against the SAME per-cell morphology verdict the terrain painter used,
at the rung on screen. New pure module atlas_window_water_clip.gd:
cell resolution across both paths (single-window direct; tile mode
selects the containing tile by each tile's OWN echoed n with nearest-
wrap re-expression against that tile's canonical center — response-is-
source-of-truth + wrap discipline reused, not reinvented). Strict drop
(no snap); offshore mouths suppressed (return with real termini in
T-1170 — retirement markers at the clip sites); basins untouched;
fail-open wherever no composite data has arrived (the clip refines
presentation, never gates data). The _pos split feeds the SAME wrap-
resolved district to both draw position and clip test so they can
never disagree about the wrap image. 49 new tests incl. antimeridian
and mid-progressive-arrival fail-open; revert-verified with precise
attribution (breaking water detection fails exactly the 3 water tests,
fail-open/land tests stay green); smoke-suite stub crash under a real
driver caught and fixed (headless skip-gating masked it). 7 suites
regression-free; gdlint clean.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 8a747e332c fix(ui): PR #195 review round — attractor stroke widths zoom-compensated (Tyre I1/I2/I3)
I1: _draw_attractor_shape's three stroke-width args (Confluence arc,
Coastal/NaturalHarbor arc, Oasis spokes) were raw screen-space literals
— Godot multiplies stroke widths by canvas scale exactly like radii, so
at the Region orbital fit zoom the outlines rasterized at ~0.01px, the
identical sub-pixel class the dot/ring compensation fixed, missed on
glyph internals (and attractors are Region-only — precisely where it
bites). Widths now arrive pre-compensated via a px_w param, keeping the
primitive pure. Regression pin: a source-scan test asserting no
draw_arc/draw_line in the function carries a bare numeric width (the
draw-smoke suite documents its own vacuous-pass mode, so source-scan is
the environment-independent gate); revert-verified by name. I2: D-226
visibility-direction sentence — Araminta's fade-down inversion recorded
as pre-T-1170 with its single revisit point named. I3: class-header
call-site claim corrected (enter() funnels through _enter_at_rung).

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 0366e8286f fix(ui): District trunk dot 2.0px/80% — Araminta's PR #195 capture objection
At 1.6px/60% the trunk dot under the mouth ring read as 'mouth glyph
over plain terrain' — invisible without knowing where to look,
underselling the ruling's own 'a major river crosses near here'
intent. 2.0px/80% preserves the fade-down ladder vs Region's
2.2px/100% without reading as accidentally-erased. Doc comment
records the revision provenance.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 60faf667a5 fix(ui): T-1156 live rounds — zoom-compensated marker sizes; toggle-redraw regression pin
Live round 2 (the real bug): every nature-overlay marker size was a raw
screen-space constant drawn inside _canvas, whose scale IS view_zoom —
at Lendel's orbital fit zoom (0.0063) a 2.2px trunk dot rendered at
~0.014px, invisible; the same code at District's 3.75 zoom produced the
correctly-visible mouth ring, which is why one capture worked and the
headline rung didn't. Fixed via AtlasWindowGeometry.zoom_compensated_
size() (pure, floor-guarded) wired through every radius/line-width;
basin FILL points are positions and correctly stay unscaled. Suspect
tile-mode-rung-detection was ruled out live (granularity_v2=Region
confirmed in tile mode) but pinned with a named regression test anyway.
+8 pure-function tests incl. a numeric pin of the pre-fix magnitude
(<0.02px at orbital zoom); revert-verified by name. Draw-smoke suite
documented as supplementary (the shared SubViewport background harness
can pass vacuously under X11 BadMatch — the pure suite is the gate).

Live round 3 (drive-script bug, no product change): the lead's scratch
drive passed the button LABEL to set_overlay_visible() and the unknown-
id guard silently no-op'd — but the chase banked a real pin:
test_set_overlay_visible_gen_basins_flips_gate_and_redraws_nature_
overlay (draw-counting spy per the cold-start precedent; is_queued_for_
redraw does not exist in this build). Revert-verified.

Basins verified live: 7 Lendel watershed boundaries render at the
ruling's alphas. Suites: viewer 76/76, geometry-nature 42/42, nature-
overlay 22/22, zoom-ladder 50/50, no regressions across the cluster.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 0d22e50e66 feat(ui): T-1156 — rivers/basins/attractors re-hosted onto the zoom ladder (nature overlay node)
New AtlasWindowNatureOverlay (Node2D on the viewer canvas, above
terrain): self-connects to the shared atlas_layers_received broadcast
(the established one-signal-N-consumers shape) and consumes the whole-
body layer1 skeleton per Tyre's carrier ruling — no windowed wire
touched. Coordinate chain layer1_pixel_to_world_m -> world_m_to_
district -> canvas-local lives in atlas_window_geometry as pure tested
functions; vertical convention (row 0 = North pole, wy increases
south) verified against the server's own pixel_to_world_m, pinned by
pole tests and revert-verified (sign flip fails them by name).
Araminta's per-rung presentation table implemented exactly: Region
full skeleton (radii 0.9/1.4/2.2, confluence 3.5, mouth double-ring),
District trunk-only 1.6px at 60% with mouths at full landmark styling,
Quarter off until T-1170 course invention; retired palette reused
verbatim; RVR on / BAS off / ATR off defaults; missing river_class
falls back to trunk. 58 new tests (34 geometry, 22 lifecycle, 2 real-
driver draw smoke actually rendered); 11 existing atlas suites
regression-free. atlas_window_viewer.gd runs 16 lines past the
advisory 1000-line cap on trivial wiring — accepted, rides T-1158's
decomposition.

jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 c9028af77e feat(ui): T-1161 — per-rung composite filter policy (Region NEAREST, District/Quarter LINEAR)
Araminta's ruling (PR #192 follow-up): filter keyed on rung IDENTITY via
the window's own echoed granularity_v2 — Region (incl. the orbital tile
mosaic, whose tiles are all Region-rung requests) samples NEAREST because
GPU bilinear at 204.8 km/cell reads as smoothing-over-absence; District/
Quarter keep LINEAR where cell density earns the blend. One shared helper
(_filter_for_granularity_v2) at both draw call sites; unknown/missing
wire tags fall back to LINEAR (never trusted into NEAREST). COMPOSITE_
SMOOTH survives as the independent compile-time pipeline axis — the
two-axes split is documented in the file header. Washes/border fades
untouched per the ruling. Focused suite 44/44; revert-verified (helper
hardcoded LINEAR -> exactly the three Region-NEAREST tests fail).
