- The route-and-reject hydrology system and its probes are removed
- Hydrology is configured under dimension hydrology and per biome, region and dimension hydrologyPolicy
- riverPolicy and the old hydrology config types are gone
- Grid kernels cover priority flood, D8 routing, flow accumulation, basin extraction, breaching and stream burning
- A basin spills at its pour point and an interior bump can never be the spill
- Region plans cover 4096-block regions on a 64-block grid for major rivers and lakes
- Window plans cover 512-block windows on an 8-block grid for reaches and ponds
- Plans are cached in memory, persisted per world under iris/hydrology and keyed by pack, seed, world height and settings
- Only the main runtime of an engine persists plans and stores swap on hotload and default runtime change
- Demand rasters outrank prefetch and stopping pregen withdraws its queued prefetch
- Ponds come from natural basins, seeded cups and chained cups with strictly falling levels
- A pond level never exceeds its rim plus maxFill or the end grade of any inflow
- Pond outlet loops are opened at their lowest pond
- Reaches split at junctions, pond outlets and 256-block grid lines
- Reaches meander, fit the valley, grade to a running minimum and smooth with Chaikin passes
- Drops of two blocks or more get a lip and one-block corner steps become dry rim ledges
- Cascades and waterfalls write falling fluid from the mantle at level eight
- Inflows into region lakes end at the lake level
- River mouths and water beside the sea sit at the sea surface
- The per-chunk raster gives terrain height, water head, role, tier, fluid, cave ceiling and shore distance
- WaterRole codes are stable and exposed to packs through the WATER_ROLE engine stream
- WATER_HEAD replaces the old river engine streams and an unknown stream name fails the pack load
- Banks take SMOOTH, LINEAR, CONCAVE, TERRACED or CLIFF profiles
- Containment berms grow as tall as the water needs
- Columns within two blocks of water stay solid and keep no Terrain3D overhang
- Seam dams hold water where new chunks meet chunks generated earlier
- The transition blend skips hydrology-owned columns
- Caves stay at least two blocks below river and pond beds
- The painter is the only writer of still water
- Objects cannot open water, falls or bank ground and solid objects may stand in water
- On-water objects need fluid at their anchor column
- Floating child islands stay out of channels
- Sea inlets run inland from cliff coasts at sea level and end in a chamber pool
- Inlet passages are sealed against carvers, subterrain features and the post pass
- Cave pools settle into carved lows, keep one fluid and stay out of inlet space
- Pool and inlet cells use their own cave actions in mantle data
- Water vegetation lists sit on tiers, ponds and hydrologyPolicy with SEA_FLOOR, SEA_SURFACE and SHORE_LINE parts
- Pack validation compiles hydrology settings and rejects empty or water-holding palettes
- Chunk generation fails closed when its 3x3 water rasters are not planned
- /iris find covers stream, river, major river, cascade, waterfall, mouth, pond, lake, dam, sea inlet and cave pool
- Generation history records the new feature types and drops old hydrology entries
- The studio map draws water from rasters up close and from plans when zoomed out
- Pregen prepares the current region and one region ahead
- hydrologyProbe, riverTransectProbe, hydrologyBlockProbe, seaInletProbe and cavePoolProbe report containment, rises, seams, tick conversion and missing surface
- Test forks run with a 2 GB heap, a 60-minute timeout and the Mockito agent loaded explicitly
- Generation with hydrology off is unchanged
- The build resolves VolmLib master-SNAPSHOT when no sibling checkout is substituted
- The native runtime manifest, roots and keep rules come from the embedded natives
- The packed jar natives are verified against the embedded provider shas
- Every jar carries META-INF/volmit/volmlib.properties
- The build logs the resolved VolmLib once
- publishedNativeRuntime, the loader coordinate flags, mavenLocal and publish-volmlib are gone
- Move art.arcane.iris.testsupport into core/src/testFixtures and apply java-test-fixtures to core
- Consume core test fixtures from the bukkit plugin, nms, probe and the three loader adapters
- Delete the duplicate ProjectPaths copies in the bukkit-plugin and modded-common test trees
- Point ModdedMessageContributorTest at the shared ProjectPaths
- Guard CommandPackCompatTest, NativeTransitionColumnTest and StubPlatformStateTest with PlatformLeakGuard
- Release the probe runtime state after DimensionStackSuperflatProbeTest opens a workspace
- Keep core main classes ahead of the core jar on the test classpath so the bytecode gates still scan a directory
- Delete 22 test classes whose assertions only read production .java text and check call ordering or literal presence
- Remove 77 source-text assertion methods from 34 test classes that keep real behavioural coverage
- Replace the core process-stream source grep with an ASM gate over compiled core classes in CoreProcessStreamPurityGateTest
- Replace the packs-root source grep in PacksFolderContractTest with an ASM call-site gate over compiled core classes
- Replace the IrisData registered-root regex in PackTypeBukkitPurityGateTest with an ASM scan of the registerLoader class constants
- Trim six mixed tests down to their behavioural assertions and drop their source-text tails
- Drop the eight iris.*Source and three iris.moddedCommonSources test system properties now that nothing reads them
- Removed the core processResources skip that fired on test-only invocations, which packaged a core jar with no generation kernel catalog and made all 10 probe and bukkit-plugin tests that reach GenerationKernelRegistry fail on every ./gradlew test
- Set maxParallelForks on :core:test to half the available processors, overridable with -PtestForks, and left the small modules single-forked so they do not re-pay the Minecraft bootstrap per fork or steal worker leases from core
- Resolved B.registries() per bound platform instead of latching the first one for the JVM lifetime, keeping the previous unbound behaviour, so a test that binds its own platform no longer reads a foreign platform's block states
- Resolved IrisObject.States per bound platform through accessors instead of static finals fixed at class-init, removing the NoClassDefFoundError and null material-key failures that appeared whenever class partitioning changed
- Bound an explicit platform in EngineMantleCoverageTest and IrisDimensionStackActuatorMetadataTest so they no longer depend on another class leaking a binding first
- Gated BukkitSpiConformanceTest registry probes on a live RegistryAccess and restored the IrisPlatforms binding it leaked, which was silently swallowing the stderr two SettingsHotloadWatchTest assertions read
- Initialised org.bukkit.Registry and Biome inside the RegistryAccess mock scope in ObjectStudioGeometryTest so Mockito no longer instruments Registry mid-clinit
- Replaced the SettingsHotloadWatchTest fixed 1200ms diagnostic window with a 10ms condition poll bounded at 4s
- Replaced the IrisCaveCarver3DNearParityTest wall-clock speedup benchmark with a deterministic density-sample count, cutting 28 carves to 2
- Cut HydrologyPlannerTest cold-owner parity from 12 tile plans to 4 and shared the immutable baseline plan across the early-owner tests
- Built one prototype project or staged history per class in the jigsaw studio and world replacement tests and copied it per test, replacing repeated fsync-bound fixture construction
- Replaced Mockito block-state fixtures with concrete implementations in the object IO, deposit modifier and nearest-block-index tests, removing about 2.5 million interceptions
- Replaced Thread.sleep with bounded condition polling in HydrologyTileCacheTest
- Deleted 19 test classes and 60 further test methods that asserted on production .java source text rather than behaviour, and removed the 19 now-unread iris.*Source system properties that fed them
- Remove automatic error reporting and server-identifying attachments.
- Remove Sentry dependencies, release tooling, settings, and test commands.
- Keep failures operator-visible through local stack traces and logging.
