- 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

- The per-chunk raster gives terrain height, water head, role, tier, fluid, cave ceiling and shore distance

- 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

- Repeated object markers skip decoding

- Structure volume caches read through concurrent maps and publish only current builds
- Natural terrain receipts reuse a per-thread deflater with the platform gzip framing
- Tests pin receipt and saved biome bytes across reused compressors
- Clump randoms use a plain-field LCG with the RNG sequence and a step jump
- Single-block palettes build footprints from row masks and jump the pick draws
- Ellipsoid nodes, row offsets and node sines reuse thread scratch and size tables
- Terrain-scoped footprint plans that cannot reach the chunk surface are skipped
- Above-terrain plans are skipped when no solid host sits above the surface
- Preparation runs as at most four balanced slices with one join per chunk
- Placement caches target, bedrock and replaceable checks per block state
- Roots without selectable children resolve to themselves before the per-column child cache
- Selection plans build through one shared helper for root checks and child selection
- ChunkBakeCache.fillColumns batches the missing requested columns of one chunk plane and publishes them
- BakedDoubleStream and BakedStream expose fillColumns with the per-column fallback when memoization is not allowed
- Carve profile field reads heights, regions, surface and cave biomes from the nine overlapped chunk planes
- Fluid presence samples the fluid plane only for columns below the fluid height
- Carving reuses one dimension carving resolver state per thread scratch
- Bake recent-entry memo holds a 16-slot per-thread chunk table instead of one entry
- Subterrain cells for carve and decoration resolve through a per-chunk sampler with a column height hull instead of per-block engine dispatch
- IrisEngine subterrain lookups read the thread frame and runtime once and memoize the dimension gate, removing the per-call disabled-component list scan
- Unrouted workers resolve cave biomes through the captured carving snapshot and column cache with subterrain biomes checked first
- Captured cave biome lookups bypass the per-voxel hash cache
- Internal carve walls come from word-level column masks instead of hashed neighbor puts, painted after cheap solidity and surface checks
- Floor and ceiling layers are memoized per column when the biome layers do not depend on the zone height
- Zone scanning walks carved runs, the decoration scan memoizes block solidity and reuses the previous block, and waterlogging normalization skips snapshots without hydrology
- Boundary walls read own cells straight from the snapshot; the unused snapshot face builder and face accessors are removed
- Terrain batch scratch marks reset in finally blocks so a failing kernel cannot grow the scratch
- Generator evaluation counters only count when generation counters are enabled
- Core tests run with generation counters enabled
- Bake capacity derived from the heap (13 KB per entry against 1/32 of maxMemory, 2048 to 32768 entries); detached runtimes use the floor
- Pregeneration profile no longer raises the global noise cache size or the bake; it only raises burst parallelism
- Removed the hydrology bake reservation, noise cache budget, expansion machinery and the tile cache terrain preparation hook
- Bake thread recents compare a generation counter; clear empties retired entries
- Removed unused column bake, bake registry and bake accessors
- Object placement bakes split into one per-object layout (palette, tiles, canopy) and per-variant offsets
- Variants beyond the per-object limit are built transiently instead of clearing the variant map
- High-variant golden and no-rebuild tests
- A caller whose submission window is full runs the next component itself instead of parking
- Pass barriers run still-queued component tasks in reverse order before waiting
- Queued component tasks reopen the submitting generation's runtime scope on whichever thread runs them
- Helpers only run queued tasks bound to their own runtime or when they hold none
- A finished submission no longer reports a task as dropped once a helper started it
- Burst worker scope test keeps one stage on a worker while the caller helps
- Cell lattice passes gather every missing corner sample of the pass and evaluate base, detail and modules through NoiseProgram.fillPoints3D
- Warp B samples and single-row warp A samples are evaluated as one point batch per pass; longer warp A runs keep fillColumn3D
- Module bands compact their points before the batch call and scatter back in the original accumulation order
- Lattice batch buffers and their NoiseScratch live in a per-thread CaveLatticeBatch chain that nested carves acquire separately
