HeightCurve (pure static, D-035): calibrated monotonic piecewise map —
identity at/below sea 0.15; ease-out toe to the orange ceiling 0.206
(75% coverage, knot t1=P75=0.628736 from batch-04's pooled flat-sea
land CDF, 340.6M samples); linear rise to red 0.27 (t2=P90); smooth
shoulder to the 50m plateau shelf 0.3492 (t3=P93); near-flat plateau
step (t4=P96); accelerating spike to the 220m peak cap 1.0265; linear
tail past the calibrated max. Strict monotonicity asserted numerically
at startup, loud throw on violation.
Applied in GenerateTopography AFTER noise+falloff+Trench, BEFORE the
crater carve (carve cuts curved terrain; rim/bowl untouched by the
curve). Biome oracle mechanism: a retained uncurved classify heightmap
(alias of _heightMap when off, zero cost) feeds biome rules, both
flood fills, and the shared water predicates — classification is
curve-invariant by construction. Towns/roads/diagnostics/exported
heights use curved terrain; town positions may legitimately move.
Config gate TerrainCurve: "off"|"v1" (default v1), unknown values
rejected loudly.

SeaLevelModel: "flat" (one scalar, SeaLevelValue) or "field" (the
legacy latitude Lerp 0.26..0.15). Only GetSeaLevel's body changes —
all nine call sites (crater carve target, both flood fills, biome
split, beach band, Capitol window, town filters, A* zero-point)
inherit the model automatically; no consumer re-tuning. Default:
flat 0.15, pinned in ServerConfig.json.

Config flag SkipRoads (default false): when on, GenerateRoadsAsync and
the 3_roads snapshot are skipped entirely; export proceeds with all
four road sections present but empty (both v2 and legacy v1 permit
zero counts); the console states loudly that the blueprint is a
road-less iteration artifact.

Uncommenting the random-seed line left its trailing prose 'if 0 also
randomizes' as code, which stopped the whole project compiling. Only the
comment marker is restored — the choice of random-vs-fixed seed is left as set.
