Tyre's two governance sentences on the D-226 course note: (a) the
Godot rasterizer floor makes per-class course WIDTH differentiation
inert at every shipping fit zoom — classes distinguish by opacity
alone until T-1175's per-vertex tapering; the 'trunk widest' promise
is design intent, not current pixels. (b) The pole-row edge-drain
branch is structurally unreachable; the real mechanism is interior
k<0 (revert-verification discovery). Plus the dangling cargo-fmt
reflow in the course-cost bench from the gate-bounce round.

A2 (river_course.rs): Stage A rung-independent valley-seeking control
path (chord/8 stations, k=5 bilinear-scored candidates + continuity
penalty); Stage B rung-indexed perpendicular warp on GLOBAL arc-length
(window-independence, Ruling 1e), band chord/2 down to min_wavelength_m
hard-truncate, sine taper to zero at anchors, amplitude min(8% chord,
half-cell) slope/class-scaled. SeedDomain::RiverCourse=17, distinct
salt. Wire: RiverCourse{edge_id,class,points,terminus} on
DistrictWindowLayer.courses (serde-default); bbox-culled, window-
cropped +1 station. TerrainAnalysisCache retains Layer1Output (the
gen_queue:626 discard, Ruling 4b). A3: mouth termination walks
stations sampling the window's OWN rung-consistent morphology verdict,
6-iteration bisect; land-at-anchor probes one segment then None;
EdgeDrain never probes. A5: near_perennial_water point-to-segment
predicate (D-239 §8 governed bands 1-3m class-scaled) threaded through
both batch and window paths; Region always false; never touches
moisture_q. Discipline closed: dormant zoom-ladder bench run + numbers
recorded in the design doc (District 3.009/1.785, Quarter 1.823
us/cell, Region window 0.617ms); course-cost bench CAUGHT a real
+12-36% per-cell riparian scan regression -> precomputed bbox O(1)
reject (60ns->2.2ns/call), final delta +3.4-6.9% at budget; three
determinism tests (overlapping-window byte-identity, cross-rung
amplitude bound, warp-stream cross-correlation r<0.3); goldens: window
sweep gained a verified course-bearing position (pure append), new
river_course golden at both rungs, believability verified unchanged.
Revert-verification discovered the pole-row branch is structurally
unreachable (flow_direction bounds-check) — the real edge-drain path
is k<0 flat-plateau; test fixture rewritten to exercise reality.
scale.rs stale comment fixed. Full cargo test green.

R1 measured first: a capped Region tile through the real production path
(build_district_window_layer + T-1151 par_iter) at the 64x64 wire cap
costs 0.40-0.48ms — faster than the shipped district n=64 window, so
Jeroen's progressive capped-density tiling ruling is comfortably
interactive on-demand. Raw orbital derive ~0.9µs/cell (~2.3x faster than
full derive; region_baseline dominates, not invent_primitives).
R5 redesign: WindowGranularity enum (Quarter/District/Region), serde
named-variant per the RoadNodeKind precedent, spacing from D-243 scale::
constants — the single source of truth. Additive serde-default
window_granularity_v2 request field (None = legacy u32 path; v2 wins when
Some); DistrictWindowLayer.granularity_v2 always echoed. Legacy u32 echo
for Region uses reserved WINDOW_GRANULARITY_REGION_KEY = u32::MAX (never
a legal input) so the old slot cannot lie about aliasing. Cache and
coalescing keys carry the enum itself (Ord by declaration order, D-010).
n stays district-extent at every rung; Region's cell grid is a DIVISION
(round(n/100), min 1) with its own per-axis ceiling
DISTRICT_WINDOW_MAX_N_REGION=6400 and a bounded halving-loop clamp (no
closed form under the rounding division — the client mirror must
replicate the loop).
derive_orbital_at_metres: bilinear envelope reads + region_baseline
temperature, NO invent_primitives (proven by test — slope_q pinned 0),
routed through the shared build_district_profile classification tail so
the existing colorizer family renders orbital cells unchanged. R2
stepped-categorical behavior documented at the function, not implied.
Region aliasing + clamp/echo tests mirror the T-1150 discipline. 1813
lib tests green; clippy clean; fixture regenerated (254->278 bytes, new
echoed field).
Extract derive_district's fractional-metres interior into the metres-
addressable derive_at_metres(seed, body, params, ta, wx, wy, climate,
min_wavelength_m) — the zoom ladder's keystone (design doc §8 step 1).
derive_district is now a thin DistrictPos-quantizing wrapper calling it
with cutoff 0.0; all four golden/believability/derivation harnesses pass
byte-identical.
enveloped_fbm/terrain_detail/voxel_relief gain min_wavelength_m: octaves
below the cutoff are hard-truncated (amp still advances so surviving
octaves keep relative weight; norm==0 guarded). Amplitude-fade-near-
cutoff is documented as a seam, not built — the pop-risk A/B needs the
client ladder (T-1153). Cutoff 0.0 is bit-identical to pre-change
output, asserted by test.
Measured (release, 4096-cell sweeps, zoom_ladder_bench.rs): district
spacing 1.200µs/cell (cutoff 0) / 1.201µs (cutoff 2048m — all octaves
survive, plumbing check); quarter spacing 1.165µs/cell (cutoff 512m).
Matches the design doc's ~1.2-1.4µs/cell release estimate.
