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.
