	/// <summary>
	/// ⭐ THE CONTINUOUS-GRADE EXPLORATION BATCH (chat2/02, rev 3) — smooth the upper staircase,
	/// preserve the lowlands, and prove both claims before anyone looks at a render.
	///
	/// ═══ THE TARGET SILHOUETTE (judge every shaped histogram against THIS) ═══
	///
	/// The bottom shoulder stays exactly where it is — the broad low pile, ~75 % of land below
	/// 30 m, UNLIFTED. Above it, the bench and plateau spikes dissolve and the empty valleys fill
	/// in: one smooth continuous falloff out to a thin dramatic peak at 420 m. Only the top ~25 %
	/// of land moves.
	///
	/// ═══ THE VARIANTS — tight, one axis each ═══
	///
	///   staircase                 the faithful M3 control (task 01, bit-identical — oracle a2)
	///   continuous_default        lowland to 30 m, feather 0.40, drama 2.5 — the centerpiece
	///   continuous_hold_higher    lowland ceiling raised to 50 m — the primary axis explored up
	///   continuous_dramatic_peak  drama 4.5 — how pointy the peak gets
	///   continuous_lifted_WRONG   ⚠ the even whole-island lift — DELIBERATELY the wrong direction,
	///                             a contrast bookend. Its oracle-(d) failure is EXPECTED and is
	///                             reported as confirmation of why the direction is wrong.
	///
	/// ═══ ⚠ WHY THIS TOOL RE-MEASURES THE KNOTS INSTEAD OF USING CurveKnots.V2Baseline ═══
	///
	/// Task 01's batch was generated with the knots MEASURED IN THAT RUN, at full float precision.
	/// The baked V2Baseline constants are those values quoted to six decimals — off by &lt;1e-7 raw,
	/// which is invisible to every consumer EXCEPT a bit-identity oracle. Oracle (a2) demands the
	/// staircase reproduce task 01's `.f32` byte-for-byte, so this tool re-runs the identical
	/// 6-seed calibration (same seeds, same size, same instrument) and uses the measured knots.
	/// It prints the measured-vs-baked deltas so the equivalence is evidence, not assumption.
	///
	/// ═══ RUNNING IT ═══
	///
	///   xvfb-run -a Godot_v4.7.2-stable_mono_linux.x86_64 \
	///     --path ~/celerNexus/islaApocalypse-v2 res://Tools/Scenes/CurveContinuousTool.tscn

	///   ISLA_BATCH           descriptor, NO prefix           (default "curve_continuous")
	///   ISLA_MAPSIZE         variant profile                 (default 2048)
	///   ISLA_SEEDS           variant seeds, comma-separated  (default: the 2 pinned below)
	///   ISLA_SHOWPIECE_SIZE  the big confirmation render     (default 8192)
	///   ISLA_SHOWPIECE       "0" to skip it
	///   ISLA_PHASE1_SOURCE   batch holding Phase-1 .f32      (default "chat1/02_pass1_port")
	///   ISLA_SKIP_RAW        "1" to skip the .f32 dumps
	///   ISLA_CEILING_M       probe override: lowland ceiling, metres  (default 30)
	///   ISLA_FEATHER         probe override: climb feather, 0..1      (default 0.4)
	///   ISLA_DRAMA           probe override: summit drama, >= 1       (default 2.5)
	///
	/// ⚠ The three knob overrides move the BASE config only. Each batch variant sets its own axis
	/// explicitly in its mutator, so a probe env can shift `continuous_default` but can never
	/// silently move `hold_higher`'s ceiling or `dramatic_peak`'s drama out from under their names.
