A small primary-care health centre: 19 distinct, individually-sized room
codes at n=20 room instances (only one deliberate duplication: two public
WCs), filling the gap between programme-house's duplicated-count sweep
sizes and harbor-house's out-of-range 37 real-diversity instances. Widths
are deliberately tiered (>1.3x gaps at three boundaries) so the auto-derived
interchange relation resolves to three bounded utility/office/clinical
classes instead of one whole-building chain, which a first pass produced.
experiments/run_9yx_sweep.sh repeats xyu's ruin_recreate ON/OFF protocol
(budget 3000, 4 workers, N=15 seeds) against this programme.
Locates the threshold f1d's programme-house/harbor-house split implied,
using four synthetic sizes (10/14/18/22 rooms) derived from programme-house
by scaling its bedroom+ensuite module count, since no natural third example
programme sits between the two. Results are noisy and non-monotonic (n=10
mild win, n=14 clean null, n=18 strongest trend at p=0.098, n=22 near-null)
rather than a clean decay with room count -- documented in DESIGN.md #24.
enable_ruin_recreate stays default OFF; filed homemaker-py-xyu as a
low-priority follow-up (larger-N at n=18, or a non-synthetic third example).

Size each constructive-seed cut from leaf TARGET areas (division=[f,f] gives
left area-fraction f) and pick each cut's rotation for child squareness — both
derived from target dims, topology/type assignment untouched. Area-only
regressed (slivers); rotation choice is what makes it pay.
End-to-end (20000 evals, 3 seeds, staged): harbor 85.3->74.0 (-13%, best 69),
maple-court 151.7->136.0 (-10%, best 126). PROP=0 reproduces the §11.7/§12.1
baselines exactly. programme-house regresses at fixed budget (deeper local
optimum walls off the undivide restructuring path) but a budget sweep shows
it's convergence speed, not a worse asymptote (PROP=1 reaches 1 fail at 150k).
Default-on (seed_proportion_aware=True, env PROP=1).
cq1: n_storeys now honours storey_minimum, not just level: keys — programme-house
(storey_minimum:2, all rooms level:0) was seeded one storey short and fell
through to plain search. New programme.storey_minimum()/n_storeys_for();
driver.search passes min_storeys to the seeder; search_staged routes on the max.
No-op for harbor/maple; programme-house single-stage 8.0->5.0.
New maple-court best (126) saved as generated.dom. 204 tests pass.

Built examples/harbor-house-l0/ (10 explicit level:0 codes, 13 instances,
single-storey constraints) and ran the memetic search from a bare plot. Best
33 fails at 20000 evals; whole population stuck 33–35, deep in the 0.5^n
high-fail regime. Fail histogram is dominated by 'missing' (13/33 = 39%): the
counted space m×3 is never constructed, with adjacency/access/size fails
downstream of the unbuilt room set.
Verdict: per-floor CONSTRUCTION is the bottleneck, not multi-storey coupling —
c4c.2 (programme-aware construction + missing-room repair) is the prerequisite
and staging (c4c.3) alone won't rescue it. Closes homemaker-py-c4c.1.

Previously level_add copied the top storey exactly, duplicating all
named programme rooms and immediately triggering space-count failures
for every room on the new floor. The lex outer-search comparison
(-n_fails, score) then always rejected the multi-storey child because
its fail count was far higher than the single-storey parent.
Fix: retype all named-room leaves on the new storey to generic C or O
before admitting the child. The outer search then retypes them
incrementally via the normal retype operator. This allows level_add to
produce designs with the same fail count as the parent (storey_minimum
fail removed, no duplication fails added), making the multi-storey
transition visible to the lex selector.
Result on programme-house cold start (init.dom, 100k evals, 4 workers):
before: 6 fails, single-storey, stuck after 40k evals
after: 4 fails, two-storey, still improving at 100k
Also adds examples/harbor-house/ from urb/examples for future runs.

Copy programme-house corpus (36 .dom + .score + .fails + patterns.config)
into examples/ and update all 5 test files to use project-relative paths.
Native Python fitness (use_native=True) was already the default; tests now
run without /home/bruno/src/urb present.
