jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 29c22cb728 docs(meta): body-map-viewer workshop — rounds, measurements, outcomes, as-built briefing
The complete workshop record: four round-1 positions, five round-2 syntheses
(incl. Troblum's adversarial pass with addendum + final scorecard — all seven
findings resolved), both lead interviews, Qatux's round notes and the 8-section
workshop-outcomes.md (the lakes message-crossing documented as process
history), measurement ⑥ (set_pixel/c1) + the population-survey and chunk/S2
addenda in the measurement docs, the brief's appendix updated through ⑥, and
architecture-briefing-final.md — Jeroen's outline written back as-built
(six-level ladder, lakes, ~9MB resident global tier). README row: Complete.

# Lead Interview 1 — Jeroen's rulings (post round 1)
Held after [round-1-notes.md](round-1-notes.md). Presented: the three independent
convergences (tagged envelope triggered; viewport-sized canvases below
orbital/region; T-1177 cliff representation), the composing cache proposals, the
two named tensions, and the 10-item OPEN-FOR-SYNTHESIS list.
## Ratified by silence (presented as settled-unless-objected; no objection)
- **Tagged-envelope migration: triggered** (three seats, measured numbers). Round 2
designs the mechanics.
- **Viewport-sized canvases at every step below orbital/region; canonical survives
only as the global tier.** (This also resolves the brief's canonical-vs-viewport
interview question.)
- **Cliff representation** `elevation` + `channel_depth` + `cliff_edge` (unanimous
among adopters).
- **Cache composition**: Dudley's server-side global tier (~174 MB PNG-encoded,
D-203-shaped resource, not SQLite) + Stig's client-side `FileAccess` cache dir —
compose, don't compete. Both rejected SQLite in every shape independently.
## Rulings
1. **Step ladder — "Round 2 proposes, I rule at interview 2."** The synthesis round
produces 23 concrete ladder tables (step counts, factors, per-step derivation
rung + measured cost); Jeroen picks from real tables, not principles.
2. **Map time axis — current state via TTL-split**, his prior hint made concrete:
static geometry cached indefinitely-fresh (determinism), frozen/flooded carried
as separately-cached short-TTL planes re-requested as sim time advances.
**Amendment (verbatim):** *"we still may also want to evict non global level
geometry based on time to save storage for planets the player visits but never
goes back to."* → Captured as a design rule: **staleness-eviction and
storage-eviction are distinct axes.** Geometry never goes stale (re-derivable,
byte-identical), but sub-global geometry entries still get evicted on
time-since-last-visit as a storage-budget policy. The global tier alone is
keep-always.
3. **Cliffs — sparse `CliffSegment` feature list, Phase-4 scope.** Aligns the
rarity finding, Araminta's encoding logic, and Tyre's scope ruling. Troblum
still stress-tests the rarity basis (one real body + synthetics) in round 2.
4. **Round 2: GO, with measurement ⑥ run now** — Stig runs the missing
`Image.set_pixel` cost measurement (330K/2.07M/8.3M cells, client-side) in
parallel with synthesis so the shader-vs-CPU (c1) call lands with a number.
Troblum joins with the adversarial mandate.
## Carried to round 2 (synthesis work, no ruling needed)
Envelope mechanics (message shape, demux, legacy-carrier coexistence);
seed-chaining data flow (independent re-derivation vs consuming the coarser step's
output — Dudley's costs assume the former); region-as-step-0 confirmation;
label placement de-dup at step seams (Tyre's gray case → Araminta).
