steepest descent on a regular grid can only route along eight headings, and at map scale that
reads as straight hatching, not drainage; the droplet model is the working replacement (its
carve field measures isotropic to within 1.5 % across the folded 45° grid period).
**River plan (task 21, C0b part 1)**`DrainageAnalysis.cs` + the headless
`RiverPlanTool.tscn` produce a river PLAN from an erosion-ON blueprint: priority-flood with a
one-ulp epsilon resolves the ~15k erosion pits for ROUTING ONLY (terrain untouched), deep+large
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.
3. **Sea level and water** — sea level per the configured model (`SeaLevelModel`: `"flat"` scalar
— the default, `SeaLevelValue` 0.15 — or the legacy `"field"` latitude Lerp); flood fill
separates true ocean from inland lakes; a mainland fill guarantees one contiguous landmass.
