Native tundra family and combined arctic qualification
The native1536x1024quiet tundra study replaces recurring diagonal hill chains with one unequal low broken slate mass along the left and one much smaller upper-right outcrop,leaving open irregular tussock terrain between them. Fine stone chips,grass tufts,small snow remnants,olive-brown/cool-slate palette and oblique map projection remain visually coherent with the revised wall-detail painting. The first generated study retained a staircase rhythm and was corrected rather than selected. No ruin,wall,banner,building,road or extra site is painted into this quiet ground. The selected PNG is copied byte-exactly from the generator with no resize,global colour correction or lossy recompression. This is a preferred native source study,not an approved repeating material. Its opaque finite terrain domain,complete role/parent-state contract,normal contextual nonrepetition,contact,scale,lifecycle and full cost qualification remain open.
Native combined inspection exposes a desktop Region regression:the glyph triptych is visible in the control but absent in the retained finite-ground capture,while the phone Region and both Hex views retain it. The eight-view machine checks cover readiness/lifecycle and Hex pixel stability;they did not prove canonical-body contribution in Region. Do not infer overlay order,cache eviction or any other cause yet. The Hex foreground still exactly matches independent native-copy/CPU references,12policy restorations and4actual complete visible-map/boulder LRU comparisons. The finite PNG keeps its original artist bytes and is decoded1to1. Its extra6291456byte backing and decode are outside the application source-cache budget,so total combined budget/performance remains unaccepted. This pipeline is not selected for public activation.
The Ice Bastion family audit records an inactive legacy-only parent,twice-used wall-detail slots and six quiet-ground slots. Source metadata must describe a complete finite,nonrepeating ruin hierarchy before normal client qualification. No functioning fortress or defensive action is introduced. The parent alpha trial is rejected and its uncatalogued PNGs are temporary;all original artwork is retained.
Nine individual source/study findings preserve exact source hashes,existing approvals and every unresolved gate. No public renderer activation or source admission is made.
Four additional Region-only observations and four exact normal pan/reconnect maps show the glyph visibly present on both desktop and phone in this follow-up. The normal painter receives a ready510x340display canvas in all four cases. The original glyph has already left the native LRU in both desktop cases,but the retained display still paints visibly;native-record absence alone does not explain the earlier missing glyph. This read-only observer forces neither loading nor painting. The prior desktop counterexample is retained;cause,complete final-pixel contribution and full combined rendering acceptance remain unresolved.
The inherited diagnostic result still reports complete:false because its old completion predicate expects eight views. The plan and observed rows are four Region-only observations with four exact lifecycle maps. No old failing result or completion flag is rewritten.
