Fixes to the view-cone runtime. Only one of them changes what a cone covers: merged outlines seal cracks under 2 cm between pieces of one wall. The wall data is #242.

Seams. Walls are cut into pieces about a metre long, and every piece corner used to cast three rays. Where touching pieces of one stroke meet and the boundary runs straight through, that corner is no visibility event. Skipping it (native and Dart) drops 35-65% of a cone's points and 20-45% of its time. A seam counts only where each piece's side of the edge is known.

Corner roundoff. A ray aimed exactly at a corner could land 1e-11 past both adjoining edges and run on to full range: 9 of 485,570 vertex rays in an all-map audit, each a hairline spike through a wall. The endpoint slack now scales with the ray's distance.

Floors. Cones that overlook Lotus's and Icebox's measured floors used to build their lit area with about 1,000 path subtractions per frame (160-190 ms). The floor pass now returns its shadows as shapes, and the painter adds each floor in a layer and erases them. Building those shapes is 3.2 times faster than before, with 46% fewer faces: a face that only shades what nearer faces already shade is skipped.

Merged outlines. A model may carry runtimeWalls: touching pieces with the same heights, merged offline into one outline each (1.6 to 4 times fewer points). Cones are cast against those; the pieces stay the model. The loader refuses an outline whose members' heights differ, a piece left out, or a piece in two outlines.

Sides of an edge. Seams and the face skipping need to know which side of an edge its wall lies on. That is now worked out once per outline at load, run by run along each ring, and left unknown wherever another edge crosses or touches the edge inside its length (a bow tie). Unknown only costs work. This fixes Astra's bow-tie finding, where the floor pass skipped both diagonals.

Rays at curves. A vertex the wall runs straight across no longer casts the two rays beside it. Those are needed only at a silhouette, where something farther can show past the corner. Cones keep their exact area (1e-9 against the Dart query on 1,200 cones) with half the points.

Priority. A query's chunks run on a small thread pool, and the caller waits for all of them. A worker the scheduler set aside for a time slice stalled the drag by up to 160 ms on a loaded desktop. The query's threads now run above normal priority on Windows. Under 12 busy processes on 16 cores, a 16,000-query Summit sweep went from p99 6.6 ms to 2.6 ms, and its worst query from 163 ms to 5.5 ms.

Frame times (profile build, cone dragged across every map side with #242's data, 400 frames each, budget 6.06 ms for 165 fps):

worst side p99 frames over budget
build 5.82 ms (Icebox attack) 6 of 10,400
raster 2.33 ms 7 of 10,400, single spikes

Before these changes, Lotus and Icebox builds were 9-15 ms at p99.

Tests. Every cone, floor, native, sightline and vision test passes. New tests cover seams, duplicate and thin walls, grazing corners, merged outlines and their refusals, bow ties, and rays past a curved wall's silhouette.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • View cones now account for floor shadows, overlapping walls, shared edges, and merged wall outlines for more accurate visibility.
    • Floor layers and projected shadows can be rendered separately, and visibility paths are generated when needed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved visibility around wall corners and curved edges, including when the cone starts just outside a wall.
    • Refined shadow handling for crossing and overlapping footprints.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

No outstanding blocking findings were supplied.

What we checked:

  • Merged walls keep matching heights: The loader requires every member to match the first member’s floor, height bands, and unknown-height flag.
  • Invalid arc steps stop early: cone calls _horizontalCone first. That call rejects invalid arcSteps before floor shapes or the sector are built.

Summary

This PR reduces cone work by skipping wall seams and redundant rays, using merged wall outlines, and painting measured floors from shadow shapes instead of repeated path subtractions.

  • The loader rejects missing or repeated wall members and merges with different heights.
  • Crossing edges keep an unknown side, so they are not incorrectly skipped.
  • The painter places walls using the original agent position while casting from the nearby standable point.
  • SunkenInTime accepted keeping idle workers above normal priority. Their measurements showed that raising priority only during work made query delays worse.

Three changes to the view-cone runtime, none of which change what a cone
covers:

- A vertex where touching pieces of one stroke meet, with the boundary
  running straight through it, is no visibility event. Skipping it drops
  35-65% of a cone's polygon points and 20-45% of its time (native and Dart
  alike); cone areas match the old ones to 1e-8.
- A ray aimed at an exact corner could land 1e-11 past both adjoining
  edges and run on to the range (9 of 485,570 vertex rays in an all-map
  audit). Endpoint slack is now 1e-10 SVG units along the wall instead of
  1e-12 of the edge, far below the 1e-8 radian rays that must pass a corner.
- Cones that overlook Lotus's and Icebox's measured floors no longer build
  their lit area with ~1,000 sequential path subtractions (160-190 ms per
  cone). The floor pass now returns its shadows as shapes, and painters
  fill each floor and erase them in a layer. The boolean area is kept, built
  only when the sightline report asks for it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Runtime wall outlines and seam-aware ray handling are added to SVG visibility. Floor shadows are represented as floor layers, and the cone painter renders those layers through the cone sector.

Changes

SVG visibility and floor rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime walls and seam-aware rays
lib/view_cone/svg_height_visibility.dart, lib/view_cone/svg_height_native_io.dart, lib/view_cone/svg_height_native_stub.dart, native/height/icarus_svg_height.cpp, native/height/icarus_svg_height.h, test/svg_height_visibility_test.dart, test/svg_height_native_test.dart
Runtime wall outlines are validated against wall membership and height bands. Dart and native ray handling use edge interior-side data to detect seam vertices, and endpoint tolerance scales with edge length. Tests cover wall segmentation, winding, corner rays, curved-wall visibility, and runtime wall validation.
Floor shadow geometry
lib/view_cone/svg_floor_visibility.dart, test/svg_floor_visibility_test.dart
SvgFloorLayer stores floor rings and fill rules. SvgFloorShadows stores projected faces and caps, and supports path subtraction and canvas erasure. visibleSvgFloor subtracts generated shadows from the floor and sector intersection. Tests cover crossing occluders and edge-side classifications.
Cone floor composition and painting
lib/view_cone/svg_height_visibility.dart, lib/widgets/draggable_widgets/utilities/svg_height_view_cone.dart, test/svg_height_app_integration_test.dart
Cone construction attaches eligible floor layers and a sector. SvgVisibilityCone.visibilityPath computes its diagnostic path lazily. The painter uses floor-aware painting when floor data is present and retains the visibility-clipped fill otherwise. The widget test checks rendering from the raw origin.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5c2fb

No actionable visibility or painting issue remains from the examined changes; the PR is mergeable after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5c2fb

The inspected changes retain input validation, local data ownership and cleanup. No new security issue was established. The contract changes merit review, while complete input and deployment compatibility coverage remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is bundled map data reaching native memory within the application process. Native code has process-memory authority, but the inspected changes do not establish a new remote input source, tenant boundary or privileged service transition.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The FFI boundary retains geometry capacity, finite-coordinate and wall-index checks. The new native setter checks the complete side array before mutation under the handle mutex; queries retain finite-value, range, aperture, arc-step and active-mask validation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Side configuration occurs before the wrapper exposes the handle. Setter refusal closes the new context, temporary side buffers are freed, and repeated wrapper close calls are harmless. If explicit close is refused, the wrapper retains finalizer ownership and prevents further queries.
  • observed — Windows query-thread priority changes are scope-bound and restored on exit. Elevated pool-worker priority lasts for the owned worker lifetime; pool destruction stops and joins those workers.

- A shared edge cancels at a vertex only when the two walls lie on either
  side of it. Two walls over the same footprint, wound opposite ways, no
  longer lose their corners. Dart works out each edge's inside from its
  wall and hands it to native (ish_set_interior_sides); without it native
  skips no seams.
- Corner slack is 1e-13 + 1e-10 x the hit distance along the wall, so a
  ray 1e-8 radians beside a corner still passes it from a millimetre away.
- Floors are cleared and refilled without antialiasing, by the same pixel
  centres, so no faint seam is left along a floor edge inside a cone.

- An edge's side is taken only when a step either way tells inside from
  outside. A wall thinner than the step is "unknown" (2 in native), and no
  seam is skipped at its edges, so duplicated thin walls keep their corners.
- Floors are cleared and refilled with antialiasing, and the floor layer is
  added rather than laid over: at a floor edge on lit ground the cut keeps
  1 - c and the floor brings c, which sum to the fill. Edges facing open
  ground stay smooth.

A ray grazing a corner from within about 1e-5 SVG units of it is still
caught by the slack's 1e-13 floor; a smaller floor would let roundoff send
a corner-aimed ray through the wall, which is worse.

A model may now list runtimeWalls: touching pieces with the same heights,
merged offline into one outline each. Cones and floor shadows are cast
against those outlines; the pieces stay the model for heights, standing and
ids. Merging cuts a map's cone edges about threefold and closes the hairline
cracks between pieces of one wall. The loader refuses a merge of pieces with
different heights, a piece in two merges, or a piece left out; without
runtimeWalls nothing changes.

…thing

A Lotus or Icebox cone built 900-2,200 shadow faces per frame, each a
rectangle clipped through lists and closures: 3 ms typical, 17 ms at p99 in
a profile-mode drag. Faces are now clipped in flat buffers, a face whose
wedge misses the floor is dropped before any clipping, and where a shadow
runs on for ever only the edges facing the eye cast it: an edge facing away
shades what the near side already shades. On 113 Lotus and Icebox cones the
shadows cover exactly the same 22,600 sample points, with 46% fewer faces
in a third of the time.

Where a merged outline cannot cover a piece's raw ring (a bow tie or a
sliver the union cleans away), the model lists that ring as extra edges
under the piece's heights, so a cone stops where the pieces stopped it.

A bow tie's crossing edges change side along their length, so the side a
midpoint probe found let floor shadows cull both diagonals and leave the
lobe behind them lit. Edges something crosses or meets inside their
length are now unknown, which only costs a seam or a shadow face; along a
run of a ring that nothing else comes near the side cannot change, so one
probe answers for the run. Cone edges and floor shadows share the answer,
computed once per runtime wall at load instead of per edge on the first
floor frame (Lotus: about 20 ms against 360 ms in a debug test).

Runtime edges carried under a piece's heights may no longer also name
members, which the loader ignored.

The truth passes broke 19 sightlines of the archived acceptance suite.
Cast against the complete 3D scene, six were clear (the hole fill had
closed Corrode's 4801 gap) and others contradicted a ruling: Dara's
see-through C Garage window, Icebox's zipline and ramp markings, pieces
named see-through, and a Haven Mid band where the scene is clear. Those
pieces go back to their #240 bands. The seven failures left are Dara's
Mid Window sill and sightlines the scene blocks.

Every model now carries runtimeWalls, touching pieces with the same
heights merged into one outline, which cones are cast against once the
loader reads them (#241). Older loaders ignore the field.

The caller waits for every chunk of a query, so a pool thread the
scheduler sets aside for a 15 ms time slice while holding one stalled the
drag. On a desktop busy with other work (12 busy processes on 16 cores) a
sweep of 16,000 Summit queries had p99 6.6 ms and a 163 ms worst case;
with the calling thread raised for the query and the workers raised for
good (they sleep when idle), p99 is 2.6 ms and the worst 5.5 ms. A quiet
machine is unchanged (p99 1.9 ms).

Every vertex in reach cast three rays: at it and just beside it on each
side, so that a wall turning away there lets the ray past it find what is
behind. Where the vertex's two active edges leave to either side of the
ray, the wall runs across it and the rays beside it only meet those two
edges. Curved walls flattened into centimetre edges are made of such
vertices. Cones keep their exact area (to 1e-9 against the Dart query on
1,200 Pearl, Summit and Lotus defense cones) with half the points; the
Pearl defense sweep's p99 goes from 6.5 ms to 5.1 ms.

…tarts

An agent on a wall's ink is cast from just outside it. The painter put the
map in place by that nudged origin, at the agent, which shifted the whole
cone and its floor clip by the nudge: on Ascent's B wall about 4 px, so
every edge sat off the drawn walls. The map is now placed by where the
agent really stands; the cone lands where it was cast, a hair off the
apex.
