Four naturally selected alternate-seed tundra reviews
Four source/profile/feature roles absent from natural selection in the default seed were tested in two legitimate disposable QA worlds with17-character seeds accepted by the normal client. Four unchanged native sources were freshly inspected along with16 actual Region/Hex desktop/phone panes. The default geography,source permissions,renderer and persistent saves were preserved. Both owned worlds were retired only after all owned browsers and servers closed and canonical QA save hashes matched.
The series now has80 reviewed default-seed contexts/320frames from50 sources plus these four alternate-seed contracts/16frames,for84 samples/336frames across51sources. The Drum Keep is newly observed locally. These are not production-world observations. There are still41 eligible default-seed contexts to review and four naturally unselected default-seed contracts. Long-seed failed attempts contribute zero accepted frames.
Eight Hex source-only native replays match exactly. Eight Region mip comparisons remain descriptive. All16 projected nonzero-alpha bounds fit their maps;that does not prove control clearance,final visibility or correct physical scale. No lifecycle,full-performance or complete game-ready approval is granted. Metadata registration and Atlas publication remain pending.
WOG-A-003363 — town-gabled-court-v2
The complete gabled court retains its bell tower, slate and thatched roofs, fine individual masonry, timber, courtyard paving, barrels, gates and planting in all four tundra samples. Material detail is coherent with the approved native benchmark; no repaint is justified. Open spaces show the actual ground. These samples are green lowland tundra, not a snow-season test. Diffuse native contact, phone control clearance, physical footprint, crowding, seasonal states, lifecycle and full performance remain unaccepted.

WOG-A-003314 — magic-floating-stones-v1
Four complete hovering shards and the fractured block platform remain readable in all four tundra samples. Their larger outlined and chiseled forms need a scoped material/style comparison against finer approved masonry; no automatic repaint or approval follows from this difference. Yellow-green moss is visible and needs cold-season/state qualification. The freshly viewed native image also shows thin red/yellow outer-edge flecks: a descriptive RGB chroma scan finds 3,056 red pixels with alpha above zero, all below16. This is not evidence of an opaque red fringe in the live world. Ground contact, compositing backgrounds, material/state, physical scale, broader cameras, lifecycle and complete performance remain open.

WOG-A-003435 — ruins-cold-roundwall-v1
The broken curved wall, doorway, scattered blocks and fine cool-gray chipped stone remain complete and legible in all four tundra samples. Door and wall openings reveal the actual floor. Preserve this detailed original. The native image has a broad diffuse translucent surround whose behavior on darker, snowy and mixed ground still needs contact/alpha review. Lowland tundra observations do not establish all cold-season suitability. Physical scale, camera/control clearance, crowding, lifecycle and full performance remain open.

WOG-A-003439 — castle-tundra-drumkeep-v1
The complete drum tower, pointed slate roof, attached gatehouse, door, battlements and wall fragment retain fine stone and roof detail. This is the first normal local observation of this source in the series, using its existing unchanged width72 contract; the small Region presentation is not proof of correct physical scale or neighboring-art occlusion. A pale diffuse area is visible around the base in the context and a broad warm-gray translucent surround is visible in the native source; source-only replay does not isolate their final composited relationship. Preserve the original while alpha/contact, physical scale, phone clearance, seasonal states, lifecycle and full performance remain open.
