Self-contained design + plan structured for breaking into bd (beads) tasks:
domain constraints that fix the slicing representation; what was built;
full empirical record (geometry port validated 35/35; area-proxy solver
falsified; perpendicular artifact resolved via equal-offset cuts; full-fitness
frozen-topology optimisation validated with 24-67% headroom; 0.5^n cliff);
validated memetic architecture; component plan; phased roadmap; risks/open
questions; repro steps; gotchas.
Oracle throughput measured: ~0.99s/dom batched vs 1.65s single (assessment-
dominated). urb-fitness.pl batches many doms per call, so native fitness is a
later speed/scale optimisation, not a gate; favour population/batch optimisers
and prototype the search on the batched oracle first.
