What was wrong

Two spots in the editor put a dropped agent's eye far above the floor, and its cone saw across half the map:

  • Split Mid. The default was the crane arm, 36.5 m up over a 6.5 m floor.
  • Lotus B Main. The default was the top of an invisible blocking volume, 16.3 m up over a 2 m floor.

The pipeline already had a guard that takes unreachable roofs out of the defaults, and it skipped both spots. It left the crane alone because the September 15 Split review kept crane and construction-panel surfaces automatic, and a fixture pinned it. It never looked at blocking-volume tops at all.

The rule

Dara ruled on 2026-10-02 that a surface at least 10 m above the ground at every point beneath it is never a default level. It keeps its geometry and stays selectable by hand from the elevation menu.

I checked that the line falls in a gap. No automatic surface on any map sits between 8.2 m and 10.4 m above its ground. Seven decoded replays put no player above 13.6 m on Split or 9.5 m on Lotus, and the 13.6 m readings are jumps above B Rafters.

What changed

  • 17 supports per side lose automaticStandingAllowed:
    • Split: the crane arm, two construction panels, and eleven blocking-volume tops.
    • Lotus: the B Main volume top.
    • Haven, Bind and Abyss: one blocking-volume top each, all close to zero area.
  • test/svg_far_support_test.dart holds every bundled model to the rule. It fails on the previous models and passes on these.
  • docs/vision-model.md records the ruling and withdraws the "crane stays automatic" note.
  • The checksums in test/bundled_map_models_test.dart are updated for the eight changed models.
  • The script that applies the rule, scripts/demote_far_above_ground_supports.py, is in the icarus-vision-pipeline archive.

Checked

  • At the Split spot, the default eye goes from 38.3 m on the crane to 8.25 m, the Mid floor.
  • At the Lotus spot, it goes from 18.0 m to 3.8 m.
  • The svg, vision, height, standing and wall tests pass: 132 passed, 3 skipped.
  • tool/check_bundled_wall_heights.dart passes.
  • flutter analyze is clean on the new test.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that surfaces at least 10 m above the ground beneath them are excluded from default standing selection across maps. Their geometry remains available, and they can still be selected manually.
    • Added Split and Lotus examples and references to replay height observations.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage checking that automatically selectable supports do not meet or exceed the 10 m height threshold.
    • Updated expected checksums for selected bundled map models.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

No blocking findings remain; the outstanding test concern is non-blocking.

Summary

The PR removes high surfaces from default standing choices while keeping them available for manual selection. Since the previous review, it adds four tests for the Split crane and Lotus blocking-volume top. The earlier non-blocking test concern remains: sampling can miss ground that rises between grid points.

Split's crane arm over Mid (36.5 m over a 6.5 m floor) and Lotus's B Main
boundary top (16.3 m over 2 m) were the default standing levels there, so a
dropped agent saw across half the map. The unreachable-roof guard skipped
the crane because the September 15 review kept crane surfaces automatic, and
it never looked at collision-volume tops at all.

Dara's ruling: a surface at least 10 m above the ground everywhere beneath
it is never a default. No automatic surface on any map lies between 8.2 m
and 10.4 m above its ground, and replays put no player above 13.6 m on
Split or 9.5 m on Lotus. 17 supports per side lose automatic standing
(Split's crane, construction panels and boundary tops, Lotus B Main, and
near-zero-area tops on Haven, Bind and Abyss). They stay selectable by hand.

test/svg_far_support_test.dart holds every bundled model to the rule; it
fails on the previous models.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The vision-model documentation now describes a cross-map rule that excludes surfaces at least 10 m above ground from default selection while retaining manual selection. Tests check support heights and updated bundled model checksums.

Changes

Far-surface selection rule

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document and check the selection rule
docs/vision-model.md, test/svg_far_support_test.dart, test/bundled_map_models_test.dart
The documentation describes the 10 m threshold and examples. A test checks automatically allowed supports against ground heights. The checksum test now expects updated hashes for models on Abyss, Bind, Haven, Lotus, and Split.

The new check can miss some elevated surfaces, so a future model change could restore an incorrect standing default without failing the test. The current change remains mergeable with that coverage limitation understood.

1-47: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Measure the complete support/ground overlap.

The test samples only support ring corners and skips null ground samples. A valid support can cross a ground triangle while all ring corners lie outside that triangle. In that case, nearest remains infinite and a flat support at least 10 m above the ground passes the test. Runtime selection evaluates arbitrary points and can select the support at the covered overlap. Compute the minimum over clipped support/ground triangle intersections, including intersection vertices, instead of using only ring corners.

Update the test’s nearest-distance calculation in the `no automatic standing

overlap, not just support ring corners. Clip support regions against ground
triangles and include intersection vertices when finding the minimum elevation
difference, so a support crossing a ground triangle cannot pass because all
sampled corners are outside it.

P2 Valid surfaces can fail

The test measures the ground gap only at a support’s corners. Ground can rise inside its footprint, so this check can reject an automatic surface that is less than 10 m above ground at an interior point. A future valid map update could fail the test and prompt removal of a default level that the rule allows. This is a non-blocking test concern; check the ground mesh within the footprint, including relevant edge intersections.

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Artifacts

Executable rising-ground Flutter fixture

  • The authored test constructs the mesh and support through production APIs and compares corner-only sampling with interior sampling, making the false flag reproducible.

Corner-only check flags a valid surface

  • Running the existing sampling logic failed its expected-not-flagged assertion: corners measured 12 m, the interior gap measured 4 m, and the support was automatically selected, confirming the false positive.

Interior sampling leaves the valid surface unflagged

  • Running the same fixture with interior mesh vertices included passed with a 4 m nearest gap and no flag, showing why corner sampling is insufficient.

Bundled far-support test passes

  • Running test/svg_far_support_test.dart against the current bundled assets passed, showing the focused fixture exposes a case that the bundled test does not currently encounter.

Fixed in b32d033. A surface whose corners are all 10 m or more above the ground is now also checked on a one-unit grid inside its footprint, and the test only calls it far if every sample is. It still fails on the previous models and passes on these.

Ground can rise inside a footprint, so a surface far above the ground at
every corner may still sit near it in the middle. A surface whose corners
are all far is now also checked on a one-unit grid inside before the test
calls it far. Only those surfaces pay for the grid.

Review: the far-support test skipped manual surfaces, so it would pass if
either demoted surface vanished or moved. Both sides of both now must exist
at their measured heights, not be automatic, and not be the default.
