Urb's generic types are canonically UPPERCASE: C=circulation, O=outside, S=sahn (get_space_types qw/C O S/; corpus is 100% uppercase, never 'c'/'o' leaves). The mixed-case designs that fired the latent ratio_type first-match bug were created by homemaker's own operator type pool emitting lowercase 'c'/'o' — fixed: driver/operators now emit uppercase generics only, and class checks use t[0].lower() in 'cos'. The Urb class-sum patch stays as defensive hardening (zero impact on canonical designs). Native port (3y7/gnw): treat type classes case-insensitively, generics canonically uppercase."}
