@ -87,10 +87,16 @@ Generates the entire 2D blueprint. Roughly in order:
depressions survive as terminal basins, D8 flow directions + Kahn accumulation build the
drainage network, and the top ~3 TRUE-ocean outlets (the ocean body, WBID 1 — enclosed lagoons
do not count as "the sea") become trunk candidates with lean tributaries, mountain-exit handoff
points, and lean endorheic terminals. Output is a JSON *plan* sidecar + console report —
deliberately NOT a blueprint section, so a plan can never masquerade as realized water. Part 2
(task 22) carves and waters the gated plan. Pure analysis: the source blueprint is never
written.
points, and lean endorheic terminals. Task 21b extends the plan to the developer's MIXED
promotion: the ocean trunks PLUS the top endorheic giants (`RIVERPLAN_GIANT_N`, default 3),
each classified — a giant whose terminal basin holds a classify lake stays a **lake-ender**
(rivers ending in lakes are real geography); a dry-pan giant, and always the **SOUTHERN
CANDIDATE** (the giant pooling nearest the southernmost town), gets a **PROVISIONAL route** to
the ocean: steepest descent on the full (no-terminal) fill, so the basin overtops at its spill
and the walk follows the terrain's own drainage to the sea — drawn dashed for the gate, never
carved. Output is a JSON *plan* sidecar + console report — deliberately NOT a blueprint
section, so a plan can never masquerade as realized water. Part 2 (task 22) carves and waters
the gated plan. Pure analysis: the source blueprint is never written.
