Live-session findings, three in one: (1) Gauntlet walls are 2 tiles thick —
the outer row's camera-far neighbor is the inner WALL, so its flag stayed 0
and it stood full-height behind the collapsed inner stub; the flag now scans
up to 3 tiles through consecutive KNOWN walls (unknown stops the scan — no
assumptions past the info boundary), and any newly-learned tile refreshes the
wall chain behind it. (2) Corner pillars at the screen-bottom junction never
collapsed — their interior floor sits DIAGONALLY behind, which no straight
scan line reaches; the combined diagonal joins the scan set. (3) Per-fragment
smoothstep falloff carved organic notches (the 'sphere' read) — the cut now
computes per-instance in the vertex shader from the box's tile center and
quantizes at 0.5: every wall box is either full or stub, X2-crisp.
Verified via locomotion_cutaway autopilot capture: south runs read as clean
stub rows, corners collapse, camera-far walls stand.

Live-session two-minds resolution: the trippy sightline corridor stays as a
mode (candidate signature look); mode 1 drops any wall with a KNOWN non-wall
tile on its camera-far side to the stub (X2 bottom-walls read — the player
sees the room without walking to it); mode 2 combines. Bottom-wall flag rides
MultiMesh INSTANCE_CUSTOM.r, updated on paint and when newly-learned floors
promote camera-ward walls; camera-far directions derived from the live
WorldRoot basis, never hand-derived. Default stays corridor pending the
feel verdict.

Live-session finding: the half-disc cut bit nearby side walls while leaving
the wall actually occluding the character at full height, with dome-contour
scallops across the two-row walls. Rewritten as a sightline corridor: walls
within CUT_CORRIDOR_HALF_W of the character's x, camera-side, out to a
pitch-derived reach (WALL_H / tan(pitch) — how far a wall can still occlude
in ortho; ~4.3 m at -30, breathes with the T-cycle tilt) drop to the stub.
FollowCamera3D exposes pitch_deg(); reach clamped 0.5-16 m.

New SR_LIVE sandbox scene: CharacterVisual composited in a 3D greybox world
derived from server snapshots. Per-leg constant-velocity interpolation keyed
to the stance throttle, 'server feet / client eyes' facing (wire octant while
moving, client aim octant idle), cadence-synced gait state machine on
AnimationPlayer custom blends, D-148 orthographic follow camera (-30deg
default, T-cycle presets), sim-space grid shader, camera-side wall cutaway,
accumulating never-evict tile store with four-state visibility tint.
Additive seams only: InputMapper.facing_angle_provider (2D path unchanged),
CharacterVisual.play_animation blend_time param + get_animation_player().
Visual harness gains per-scenario scene field + SR_AUTOPILOT input scripting.
210 new gdUnit assertions across five suites; verified live (230/230 total,
clean smoke, screenshot at .cache/screenshots/locomotion_idle_live.png).
