beezm 8f5767308a feat: stepped river water + widen + lake-ender join + the task-22 nits (terrain-water task 23, C0b finale)
THE PAYOFF: rivers now carry water. Each carved main river becomes a chain of
stepped flat water-body reaches — a new reach every RiverStepDropM (2 m) of bed
descent, sitting RiverWaterDepthM (1.2 m) above its bed, strictly descending to
the outlet. Reaches are ordinary water bodies (WBID cells + WBTB type 2 'river',
fresh; WSRF derives from body levels as ever), so river water renders through
the C1 path with the task-15 presence rule at its banks, untouched. Existing
bodies are never overwritten — a river MEETS its lake or the sea. Measured on
1280587109: 298 reaches across 6 rivers, 184,620 wet px, levels stepping 278 m
down to 39.5 m; in-engine, one valley frame renders surfaces 46.2-114.5 m.

Beds widened (RiverWidthScale default 1.75). Lake-enders: the stem's pooling
terminal IS a local minimum, so the first extension attempt (blind steepest
descent) dead-ended in 0 steps — replaced with the lowground Dijkstra to the
nearest classify-water cell; the E-lagoon river now joins its lake (87 px).
Smoothing is applied ONLY to lowland routes: smoothing upland stems moved them
off their carved valley floors into the walls (max cut 14.6 -> 27.3 m measured;
split restores valley-floor fidelity). TYPE_RIVER added to the WBTB registry
(parser validation extended; doc updated in the docs commit).

Task-22 nits fixed: max-cut is now CUMULATIVE vs the pre-pass surface (the
honest number: p95 carve 7.0 m; 339 cells island-wide exceed 20 m — localized
outlet-gorge notches where stems cross deposit ridges, deepest 26 m); and
0_height/0_water are re-drawn and re-captured AFTER the river pass so the
exported snapshots show beds and water.

Guards: flood guard holds (water pixels unchanged around the carve; the water
stage touches no heights), BIOME oracle md5-identical to the task-22 baseline,
0_water changed (that IS the river water), island top 457.65 m exact, crater
core excluded.

/Core/Scripts

Pure C# data structures, shared enums, and static maths. Compiled into the shared assembly used by both /Server and /Client.

"Pure data, zero state." These scripts define what things are and how to calculate them. They never track live game events — who is online, which chunks are loaded, what time it is.

What's actually here

Voxel materials

  • BlockData.cs — struct describing one block type (ID, name, IsSolid, BaseColor).
  • BlockRegistry.cs — the byte-ID master list (AIR 0, BEDROCK, STONE, DIRT, SAND, the three grasses, SNOW, WASTELAND_DIRT, ASPHALT, WATER) with a safe GetBlock lookup. Block IDs are never serialized — the blueprint stores heights, biome ordinals and water data, never block IDs, and chunks are not persisted — so appending to this table is wire-safe. WATER is a registry identity only: it is not written into ChunkData.BlockIDs, because water is drawn as its own surface rather than as part of the terrain iso-surface (see Client/README.md).
  • BiomePalette.cs — decides which material sits where, given biome, depth, and whether the column is roadbed. Two paths on purpose: an integer classification that decides what is stored in each voxel, and a float-depth version used for rendering that returns the two materials either side of a boundary so colours fade rather than snap.

⚠ Note that BlockRegistry and the mesher's colour table hold different RGB values for some blocks. The mesher's table is what you actually see; BlockData.BaseColor is currently unused by rendering.

Shared identifiers

  • Enums.csBiome, TownTier, MapHalf, RoadTier.

    Biome and TownTier are the .dat wire format (u8 in the v2 container, i32 in legacy v1). They are declared without explicit values, so each member's ordinal is the number written to disk. Append only, at the end — never reorder or insert. The v2 reader range-checks ordinals so drift fails loudly at parse time, but only the append-only rule keeps old files meaning the same thing. Legacy v1 has no gate and no validation at all. RoadTier is exempt: road tiers live in separate sections of the file, so it is never serialized.

World data

  • BLUEPRINT_FORMAT.md — the byte-accurate .dat container contract (v2 tagged sections + the v1 legacy summary). Read this before touching the writer or parser.
  • BlueprintFormat.cs — the single registry of v2 constants: magic, version gate, section tags (FourCC), validation bounds, re-encode sentinels.
  • BlueprintWriter.cs — writes a WorldBlueprint as a v2 file. Blueprint-typed on purpose: the map generator and the round-trip harness are both just callers.
  • MapDataParser.cs — decodes a .dat blueprint into a WorldBlueprint (heightmap, biome map, towns, four road tiers, and — v2 only — the embedded generation params, per-town highway-node flag, and the optional water-bodies data: WaterBodyIds, WaterBodies table, WaterSurfaceQ). Dispatches on the first byte: v2 tagged-section files get validation (version gate, size bounds, section-length and ordinal range checks); legacy v1 files still load, intact, with a deprecation warning. The water sections are consumed at runtime since task 13 — the server reads them per column and the client draws the result (see Server/README.md).
  • ChunkData.cs — one chunk's density and block-ID fields, +1 padded on every axis so the mesher can reach into the neighbouring chunk, plus the per-column data the renderer needs — including WaterSurfaceY (world Y of the water surface, or Constants.NO_WATER), WaterDepthM (true depth from blueprint heights) and HasAnyWater.
  • Constants.cs — chunk dimensions, ISO_LEVEL, VOXEL_SCALE, and the visual/road tunables (material blend band; per-tier road width, shoulder, grade smoothing and surface), plus the water-at-rest tunables: HEIGHT_SCALE (the one raw-height→metres mapping, shared by the terrain surface and the water sheet so they cannot drift apart), NO_WATER, and the depth-shading colour/alpha ramp.

Maths

  • MarchingCubes.cs — density field → ArrayMesh, with analytical normals and deterministic integer-keyed vertex welding.
  • MATH_MARCHING_CUBES.md — an explainer of the algorithm.

Rules

  1. No Godot node inheritance. Pure classes, structs and statics.
  2. No _Process / _Ready. Nothing here is attached to a live scene object.
  3. Dependencies flow inward only. /Server and /Client reference /Core; /Core never references them.
