A real D-245 gate-shape strengthening, not just a test: the D-256/T-1174
finding proved the believability golden byte-identical under a total
all-North basin_direction collapse — every scalar contrast field is
structurally blind to the one field that regressed. ContrastMetrics
gains land_districts and basin_directions_distinct (both over ALL
districts, no new derive calls — the evidence-backed pick over the
voxel-transect proxy, which washes out at production sample density),
and evaluate_criteria gains 'basin direction variety': pass when
land_districts == 0 (the drained-body guard — an all-ocean body has no
cells that can cast a D8 vote per the aggregator's own exclusion rule,
so a uniform default is legitimate, mirroring the file's existing
nothing-to-vary idiom) or distinct >= 2. Negative test proves the
criterion catches the land-bearing all-North regression; vacuous-pass
test proves the waterworld guard. Golden regenerated and rerun-stable;
both validation bodies (Arbour, Edict) pass at distinct=2.

region_centre_latitude_deg mapped row 0 to the north pole with lat_frac
clamped [0,1] while the derive core floor-divides equator-anchored signed
world metres — every northern-hemisphere region clamped to +90 (polar
everywhere) and the southern hemisphere read as compressed northern
tropics. Now mirrors the derive core's exact inverse mapping (lat_frac =
centre_y/meridian clamped [-0.5,0.5], lat = -frac*180). The ticket's
in-the-wild datapoint flips as predicted: GJ338Bd region (136,43), old
baseline +13.94N/26.8C -> new -76.06S/10.3C; the 76S district cell now
derives Lake/2.07C/Light glaciation. Goldens regenerated (believability +
window derivation, stable on rerun); two region_profile unit tests
repositioned — their probe coordinates meant different places under the
old convention. step_canvas rung-0 already used the correct signed
convention; layer_proxy's pole-anchored pseudo-grid stays deferred to
T-1181's rung-0 rebuild per D-256(f).

Productionizes the T-1177 equilibrium solver: run_layer1 now solves
hydrology once per body (~24ms, mirrors drainage::analyze) and carries
it as TerrainAnalysis.hydrology; run_layer1_with_moisture threads the
real body moisture ceiling (extracted derive_moisture_ceiling_q), with
the T-1177 population-survey default as fallback. The resident rung-0
global tier does not exist yet (T-1181's scope) — hydrology rides
TerrainAnalysis and lands in that tier for free when it is built
(deviation recorded on the ticket).
MorphologyZone::Lake is now sourced from the settled solver at derive
time: a gridunit is Lake when bilinear-sampled filled surface exceeds
bilinear-sampled original elevation at the sample's own (px, py) — the
continuous comparison, so lake edges refine with rung like coastlines;
never a discrete basin-cell projection. The gate sits strictly between
OpenOcean (>= 80) and the old ocean_fraction heuristic (>= 60), which
survives as the derive-fresh fallback when no solve is attached —
byte-identical to pre-T-1184 output in that case. Static
classification, distinct from the sim-state flooded plane; no
endorheic bit (the drains-vs-closed cue is T-1185's outlet-course
presence, per the D-227 amendment (4) sequencing). Zero new wire
bytes.
Acceptance: lake_classification_cache_hit_equals_cache_miss (solve
twice independently, byte-identical zones, non-vacuous Lake hit) plus
hydrology determinism tests. Golden fidelity: the window golden
fixture now builds TerrainAnalysis through the production entry point
(run_layer1_with_moisture, per-body), and a dedicated lake_bowl golden
body pins the hydrology-sourced Lake path (morphology 1 at
ocean_fraction_q 0 — provably not the heuristic); the 108 pre-existing
golden rows are byte-identical (pure append). believability.json moved
by one lake-shaped line (GJ338Bd voxel_relief_m 27->28, a correctly
reclassified lake district leaving the dry-relief sample set).
river_course and derivation-harness goldens unchanged. Full suite:
2114 passed.

derive_district_profile is now a thin wrapper over the shared
derive_at_metres_with_riparian core at survey-cell-centre world metres
— one derive core, two position sets. The batch pseudo-grid and the
true D-243 district grid were two coordinate systems sharing one bare
(i32,i32) type; the new SurveyCellPos newtype re-keys every batch
product (BodyWorldState.districts, Layer1Output.survey_basin_dirs) so
the compiler rejects cross-namespace passing.
Fixes two latent same-position divergences the T-1174 investigation
surfaced: three inconsistent latitude conventions collapse into the
core's single inverse mapping, and the region-climate baseline now
floor-divides true world metres instead of collapsing the whole body
onto region (0,0)'s baseline — batch climate becomes latitude/region
graded (D-245 direction: every changed believability metric increased).
Binding preservations per D-256(c): basin_direction rides a post-call
override with the true L1 D8 survey-cell aggregate (layer1's map
re-keyed to SurveyCellPos, identity lookup — a floor-divide lookup
against the pseudo-keyed map would have silently defaulted every cell
North); the riparian verdict comes from near_perennial_water_at, never
the empty-slice default (which would have flipped riverside
vegetation_class).
Quarter-skeleton morphology_zone now resolves at the settlement's
exact world position via derive_at_metres at work-item execution
(where TerrainAnalysisCache lives), replacing the survey-cell-centre
map lookup (D-256(d)); settlement_district_pos fixed to true-district
floor-division in passing (same doc/impl mismatch class). Second
pixel-vs-metre conflation fixed in aliveness_probe's anchor-walk math.
Window path byte-unchanged (window_derivation_golden 6/6 byte-
identical); derivation_harness golden untouched; believability golden
regenerated. Full lib + integration suites green.

The octave extension changes derived window output by design (coast
crinkle below 16384m, voxel relief at Quarter, vegetation moisture
perturbation) — this regen records the sanctioned new baseline per the
ticket's part (d) discipline. The pre-existing BELIEVABILITY_STRICT=1
'vegetation present' advisory failure predates this change (Q-123-
tracked debt) and is unaffected.

Mechanical call-site updates (7) for the invent_primitives signature;
believability golden regenerated via UPDATE_GOLDEN=1. Deltas are
deliberate: slope_q/elev_q spreads widen, vegetation_classes +1
(Marine), water-districts-wet coherence reaches 46/46 and 19/19
(T-1082 class closed — classification and coastline are the same line).
Reductions (ocean_fraction distinct, morphology_zones on GJ244Ad)
are the eager pseudo-grid point-sampling coasts honestly instead of
area-averaging them into synthetic intermediates; believability
coast-sampling resolution is Q-123 calibration territory. All 37
derivation-harness law checks unchanged.

Hoshe + Tyre review of the micro-habitat-mosaic branch requested changes on two
data-confirmed correctness bugs plus follow-through. All addressed.
Blocking:
- C1 (voxel.rs): the mosaic re-granted vegetation the climate withheld — a frozen
ice world (Edict) read 61% vegetated tundra. The Grassland apply-gate now fires
only where the climate already grants cover (!Barren); a climatically-barren
district (frozen < -50C = surface ice/geology D-239 §2, or hyper-arid moisture<5,
both resolved to VegetationClass::Barren upstream) is skipped. Genuine tundra
(cold + moisture>=15) is Scrub upstream and still reaches the tundra palette via
the same !Barren path. believability.json regenerated: Edict vegetated_districts
39->0, Arbour 20->8 (its real cold-pole/arid districts revert to barren);
intra-class variety preserved (Arbour vegetation_classes 3, micro_habitat_distinct 2).
- H1 (bodies.py): biosphere Gate 0 keyed on `inhabited`, conflating settlement with
biosphere and force-Airless'ing uninhabited-but-alive worlds (D-247: worlds were
alive before humans). Gate 0 is now settlement-independent — keyed on
atmosphere/hydrosphere/planet_class. 24 uninhabited-alive worlds now classified
(was 0); GJ0g-1 (dense atm + rivers) -> NativeMirror. Split 122 Compatible :
121 Mirror; all 9 canon exemplars hold.
Follow-through:
- C2 (bodies.py + D-247): Gate 0 now reads planet_class (barren -> Airless) as
D-247's "+ planet_class" phrasing names. D-247 amended to record the actual
two-gate signal set (atm/hydro/planet_class habitability; economic_base_primary
chirality; settlement-independence).
- C3 (believability.rs): micro_habitat_distinct criterion relaxed to `== 0 || >= 2`
— the min-over-patches estimator makes K=3 unreachable against a dominant-entry
palette; K=2 provisional, Q-123 calibrates.
- C4 + H2 (D-246): amended to record the v1 scope cut — only the Soil-derived
vegetated/wet classes take the mosaic; material-driven families are `_ => false`
so Hardpan/Scree are authored but unreachable in v1; no elevation change in v1;
the mosaic OWNS the §8 climate->vegetation law for the classes it touches.
- H3 (voxel.rs): three dedicated mosaic-pass regression tests — C1 barren-respect,
§8 material-untouched + forest-textured, T-1040 no-water-without-channel.
- H4 (voxel.rs): relief_signal comment corrected to ~[-1,+1].
- H5 (bodies.py): frontmatter override now strips quotes + validates against the
4-value enum (warn-and-skip on typo).
systems.db regenerated + stamped (H1). believability golden regenerated (C1).
Full cargo test green; clippy -D warnings + ruff clean.

The mosaic palette gains a climate-biome dimension for the Grassland surface-class:
savanna / temperate / boreal / tundra now read distinctly rather than collapsing to
one biome-blind palette (the D-246 biome-awareness fix).
- atlas/mosaic.rs: ClimateBiome (from temperature_c + moisture_q) + four biome-keyed
Grassland palettes; palette(class, biome). Savanna carries scattered Forest copses,
tundra carries lichen + sparse bare ground and no forest. §8-safe (veg + water only).
- atlas/voxel.rs: derive the biome; a cold barren district (tundra/boreal) now takes
the sparse mosaic rather than staying blank — worlds that read "0 vegetated / blank"
now read structured-sparse (D-245 climate-appropriateness). vegetated_districts
8→20 and 0→39 on the cold validation bodies.
- data/mosaic_constants.toml: biome-keyed grassland mirror.
- docs/design/alien-ecology-vocabulary.md: Miri's full biome × register naming layer
(the cane/vane/wrack/husk/drum-root native lexicon + Earth-register names) — the
derived-label source for the palette and Phase-5 rendering.
Believability golden regenerated. Full server suite green. Forest biomes and the
introduced-Earth register are the noted continuation.

Sub-chunk mosaic that modulates the D-228 axes into a spatially-coherent,
relief/moisture-conditioned mosaic of micro-habitats within a terrain class —
the fix for the aliveness probe's uniform "Wetland 100%".
- seed.rs: SeedDomain::VoxelMosaic = 12 (append-only; pinned-discriminant guard)
- voxel.rs: five new D-228 axis values (Vegetation::{Meadow,Deadfall,Lichen},
TerrainMaterial::{Hardpan,Scree}); the per-family-gated mosaic pass
- detail_scatter.rs: voxel_mosaic() selection field (~8-64 m band)
- atlas/mosaic.rs: surface-class palette + integer-basis-point weighted selection
with moisture-affinity conditioning; temperate/native baseline palettes
- data/mosaic_constants.toml: source-canonical palette mirror
- believability.rs: micro_habitat_distinct metric + D-245 intra-class criterion
v1 scope (D-246-faithful): modulates vegetation + water only, in the vegetated
classes (Wetland/Forest/Grassland), so the D-239 §8 lithology law is untouched;
water is gated on the T-1040 has_active_channel hydrology rule. Material variants
(hardpan/scree) and the extreme classes are a §8-aware follow-up; the biome-aware
palette variants (T-1085 vocab) extend the baseline before generation.
Goldens regenerated (believability + derivation). Full server suite green.

The push gate's integration tests (not in cargo test --lib) caught two regressions
from the relief change:
- derivation_harness::cross_district_elevation_blend_reduces_seam_step — the relief's
large per-position term (span 300 → ±200 m, far above the compressed elev_q/2 base)
swamped the T-1042 seam measurement and clamped heavily at sea level. Fixes:
(1) shift the voxel-relief octave band to 0.13–1 km (all sub-district, dropping the
2 km octave that competed with elev_q's district role); (2) reduce VOXEL_RELIEF_SPAN_M
300 → 100 so relief stays mostly below the base (fewer sea-level clamp artifacts,
proportional hills); (3) rewrite the seam test's avg_elev to average over an 8 km
multi-wavelength y-transect so the zero-mean relief cancels, isolating the base seam.
- derivation_harness::golden_seed_determinism_regression — legitimate golden refresh
(determinism still holds; elevation values changed intentionally).
Believability relief now ≈22 m mean (was 5 m flat; 59 m at the over-aggressive span 300)
— navigable hills without clamp artifacts, 7/8 criteria. Both goldens regenerated; full
cargo test (38 binaries) + clippy --all-targets -D warnings green. D-239 amendment +
Q-123 item 4 updated to the final span/octave/numbers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The voxel tier read flat (the D-245 "0–3 m, no hills to navigate by" bug):
family generators set elevation from elev_q at a compressed scale plus only ±4 m
micro-scatter, and detail-scatter's mid-scale relief (D-243 §2) only ever reached
the district tier (elev_q), never per-voxel elevation_m.
- detail_scatter.rs: extract the enveloped-fBm core; add `voxel_relief` at the
0.25–2 km octave band (vs the district 4–40 km band).
- voxel.rs: add the mid-scale relief post-dispatch in derive_voxel_column, body-global
SeedDomain::VoxelRelief seed (position-keyed), f64 truncated to integer metres (D-010).
Envelope = slope_q*3 + elev_q — the coarse heightmap gives slope_q ≈ 0 even on high
ground (Arbour max 13), so elevation must drive ruggedness. Flat families only
(Alluvial/Lava/BraidedDelta/Dune/Meander); the dramatic families already carry strong
internal relief and WaterBody stays at sea level.
- seed.rs: SeedDomain::VoxelRelief (D-224 domain separation).
- believability.rs: new `contrast.voxel_relief_m` metric — mean within-district elevation
range over a 2 km transect (a single 64 m sample chunk is narrower than the relief
band) + a "voxel relief" criterion.
Arbour @ yolo: voxel relief 5 m → 59 m, 6/8 → 7/8 criteria (remaining fail = the
Q-123 vegetation-denominator item). Edict 59 m. Golden regenerated; 1586 lib tests +
believability harness (determinism) pass; clippy -D warnings clean.
D-239 amended (T-1081); Q-123 item 4 updated. Deferred to Q-123/follow-up: the
provisional span + threshold, and a per-body hypsometric absolute-elevation model.

Stack review (Hoshe + Tyre) of T-1083+T-1082+T-1080. Every finding fixed or disposed:
- believability.rs sample_indices: replace the rejection-sampling loop (could stall
when n ≈ take) with deterministic partial Fisher-Yates — O(n), guaranteed
termination, distinct, sorted (Hoshe+Tyre).
- believability.rs drainage proxy: exclude water-body districts (all elev 0, no banks)
and require both wet + dry voxels — they were passing vacuously and inflating the
metric (Hoshe).
- believability.rs read_cities: log skipped malformed rows instead of dropping silently
(Hoshe).
- voxel.rs: add the 3 WaterBody zones to all_families_no_panic_at_extreme_positions +
fix the "7 families" comment (Hoshe).
- climate_constants.toml: bold warning that [moisture_gradient] is not loaded until
T-1032 — tune ClimateConstants::default() (Tyre).
- Q-123: record the per-zone "water renders wet" threshold + the land-relative
vegetation-present denominator as calibration items (Tyre + the open 7th criterion).
- T-1083 ticket: note the sampling-fix attribution (landed in the T-1082 commit).
Believability golden regenerated (sampler + drainage fixes moved the metrics).
clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; 1580 lib tests + harness pass.

moisture_q was a single body constant (derive_moisture_q took only &BodyParams →
80 for every one of 2048 ocean-world districts), so vegetation/terrain/ecotones
were uniform — "nothing to fuzz" (the T-1080 believability bug).
- district_profile.rs: derive_moisture_q is now a body ceiling (hydrosphere+atmosphere)
× per-district gradient — latitude (equator wet → pole dry), elevation (orographic/
rain-shadow), continentality (100 − ocean_fraction_q). Integer/D-010, no new plumbing
(elev_q/ocean_fraction_q/latitude_deg already reach build_district_profile). Mirrors
D-240's temperature model. Coefficients in ClimateConstants + climate_constants.toml
[moisture_gradient] (provisional; Q-123 calibrates). Tuned so a wet body stays mostly
green with drier patches and a frozen body clamps mostly barren. + gradient unit test.
- region_profile.rs: region-tier moisture gets the region-latitude gradient (elevation/
continentality are district-scale).
- Propagates to precipitation_class / vegetation_class / morphology_zone (all read
moisture_q). D-239 §2 amended. Believability golden regenerated.
Probe (Arbour @ yolo): moisture_q distinct 1 → 49 (spread 0 → 48); 5/7 → 6/7 criteria.
Edict (frozen): moisture 0..20 ×21 — gradient within its low ceiling. Remaining fail
(vegetation-present) is the metric dividing by all-sampled incl. water on a 2/3-ocean
world — a Q-123 calibration concern, not a climate defect.
clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; 1580 lib tests + harnesses pass.

The water zones (OpenOcean/Lake/TidalFlat) fell through to the dry-land AlluvialPlain
fallback, so the sea rendered as dry forested land (the D-245 believability bug).
- voxel.rs: new MorphologyFamily::WaterBody (9th family) + generate_water_body,
dispatched from zone_to_family. Deep open water with a Shallow shoal band on the
district-anchored coast line (wider for shallower bodies); TidalFlat all-Shallow.
Seabed Rock (steep) / Sand (gentle) / Wetland (tidal mud); Vegetation::Barren;
water surface elevation_m = 0; seasonal Ice via derive_cover (frozen seas). Wetland
stays AlluvialPlain (it is land — a marsh, not open water). Integer/D-010. + 4 tests.
- believability.rs: fix a sampling bias in the T-1083 enforcer found while verifying
this — the metrics sampled the first 64 districts in BTreeMap order (a spatial corner,
e.g. all-ocean), which reported a forested world as "0 vegetated". Now a deterministic
seeded spread across the body (matches D-245's "randomly-sampled locations").
- D-239 amended (§5 8→9 families; §6 refined — the 3 water zones now dispatch to
WaterBody). Believability golden regenerated.
Probe (Arbour @ yolo): water-renders-wet 4/64 FAIL → 42/44 PASS; terrain-material
variety 1 → 4 PASS; 3/7 → 5/7 criteria. (Remaining fails — moisture gradient,
vegetation-present — are T-1080.)
clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; 1579 lib tests + the harness pass.

Promote the throwaway aliveness probe into a committed, repeatable believability
protocol — the instrument that found T-1080/T-1081/T-1082.
- atlas/believability.rs (new): BelievabilityReport (serde) + analyze() computing
CONTRAST (per-field min/max/distinct for moisture/elev/slope/ocean over all
districts; distinct morphology zones / vegetation classes / terrain materials)
and COHERENCE (water-renders-wet, drainage-monotonic, vegetation-present) — never
marginal per-tile counts (the lesson: that called a broken uniform world ALIVE).
evaluate_criteria() = advisory D-245 checks; cascade_for_body()/seed_to_u64()
loader shared by the bin and the harness. Unit tests prove the metric tells a
uniform world (fails) from a varied one (passes) + determinism.
- bin/aliveness_probe.rs: refactored to a thin CLI over the module — prints the
body-level report + advisory D-245 criteria, drops the naive per-tile verdict.
- tests/believability_harness.rs (+ golden): runs the real cascade for Arbour
(temperate/ocean) + Edict (frozen/ice), asserts determinism, golden-snapshots
the reports (regression — updates when T-1080/T-1082 land), advisory criteria
with BELIEVABILITY_STRICT=1 to fail on unmet D-245 criteria. Skips if committed
data absent. x86_64 golden (cascade has f32 warp paths).
Baseline @ believability-v1: Arbour 3/7, Edict 3/7 criteria pass — moisture
gradient, water-renders-wet, drainage all FAIL (T-1080/T-1082); Edict vegetation
0/64 (blank tundra — the frozen 'reads dead' case D-245 targets).
PNG layer maps (ticket item 3) deferred — explicitly optional; the contrast +
coherence metrics are the core enforcer.
clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; 1575 lib tests + the harness pass.
