The PR #206 eyeball caught what every numeric gate passed: the depth
signal was visually flat on both test lakes (GJ1c lmq=0 across the whole
basin; GJ338Bd 0-13 of 100). Two compounding causes: a fixed absolute
ceiling (one body's p90 cell depth) compressing skewed depth
distributions into single digits, and heightmap-pitch depth variation
being sub-texel-tiny within most basins. lake_margin_q is now
depth / the basin's own maximum settled depth: HydrologyResult grows
basin_max_depth_scaled (computed in solve() from existing basin_cells
membership, broadcast per basin), threaded through
HydrologySample.basin_max_depth, normalized in lake_from_hydrology_at
with a degenerate-basin epsilon guard (a genuinely uniform pond shades
flat — honest, not forced). Lake EXISTENCE (filled > original) is
untouched — only tone changes. Measured at district spacing:
GJ1c min=0 p50=33 max=84; GJ338Bd min=8 p50=38 max=70 — full-range
shore-to-deep ramps on both. No perceptual curve added: the linear
per-basin ramp is already well-quartiled. project.yaml 0.4.1 -> 0.4.2
(0.4.1-tagged canvases carrying flat-lmq semantics reached real disk
caches during eyeball runs and must miss). Acceptance gates green;
zero golden churn (lake_margin_q not captured by either golden shape).

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).
Acceptance gates green with the new field (lossless round-trip,
cache-hit==cache-miss, every rung).

- make test-tooling: planet-gen determinism guard + import_economics
--dry-run, wired into pre-push on TOOLING_CHANGED; ruff widened to
E4/E7/E9/F/W (90 safe auto-fixes applied; E402/E702/F841 ignored with
documented counts)
- one-generator reality fixed in DEVOPS.md, asset-pipeline rule, CLAUDE.md
(import_economics sole generator since #951/D-223); dead check-protocol
target deleted; DEVOPS hook/config sections rewritten from the actual
hook sources; team-patterns gate description updated (client+tooling)
- project.yaml: 0.2.0 → 0.4.0 per the 0.{phase}.{n} scheme, description
refreshed from the v0.1 Sova narration to cascade reality
- stale comment sweep: voxel.rs stub claims (all 8 families implemented),
cascade.rs TODO recited to T-1044, main.rs D-192 handshake claim,
relationships.rs/chunk_streaming.rs version targets → phase language
- gitignore: client/settings.db* e2e-run artifacts

Technical project descriptor with game architecture, simulation
parameters, and content model. Version field (0.1.9) is now the
canonical version — Cargo.toml synced, CLAUDE.md and start-sprint
skill updated to reference it during release workflow.
