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.
