Closes the second namespace sharing a first character with programme codes: the
usage prefixes b/t/l/k, under which a room silently inherited another room's
connectivity rules from its spelling.
usage is a plain, MANDATORY attribute of the space definition -- not a lookup
table. An interim design proposed a top-level usage_classes: table binding
author-coined names to behaviour; withdrawn, because an indirect name->behaviour
mapping living apart from the thing it describes is exactly the shape of the
prefix rule §39 exists to remove, it would be the only such table in a schema
where every other space property is a plain attribute, and the need it served
was already met -- "building specific" is about what a room is CALLED, and
name: is already free text.
Rule that settles it: a usage value exists iff the engine treats it differently
somewhere. Config selects among behaviours; it cannot invent them.
- programme.USAGES (living/kitchen/bedroom/toilet/utility/none) plus the
behaviour groupings PRIVATE_USAGES / PRIVATE_STRIPS / TOILET_STRIPS /
SOCIABLE_USAGES. Missing or unknown usage is a load error naming the code,
from BOTH parse paths.
- Code-level, never leaf-level: usage_of(leaf.type) is looked up fresh, so a
retype changes the class automatically. 51 sites assign leaf.type, and
share/share_type plus the r5a resurrection are the precedent for why
leaf-level attributes rot.
- graph.has_circulation takes the usage map and trims on declared class;
fitness.access and the public-access check likewise. fitness._t0 is DELETED --
no first-character type test remains anywhere in the codebase.
- utility is distinct from bedroom (same access requirements today) because it
is a different use and gives derive_interchange_classes an axis to relax on.
- A toilet now keeps its edge to a terminal room -- the Brand adjacency, which
the old b-before-t loop ordering severed.
- All 107 corpus entries migrated by experiments/migrate_usage_key.py, comments
and layout preserved.
MEASURED -- the connectivity model was ~4x too permissive. `none` is not
neutral: nothing is trimmed, so the graph may route THROUGH the room, and 34 of
52 codes had no class (Dental Surgery, Records Room, Utilities Closet all served
as corridors). Edges trimmed, prefix-inferred vs declared, 3 seeds each:
harbor-house 18 (9%) -> 79 (39%) inaccessible fails 0 -> 4
health-centre 12 (8%) -> 59 (40%) inaccessible fails 2 -> 3
maple-court 53 (17%) -> 123 (39%) inaccessible fails 1 -> 5
Re-baseline (seed 1, 20k, harbor): 58 fails (15h/43s) -> 61 (16h/45s), now
reporting 1-inaccessible-usable-space x2 plus level 0 and level 1 not connected.
The count rose because the objective got honest -- those failures were always
true of the layout and the old model could not see them. Every harbor number
before this was measured against a graph crediting routes through store
cupboards.
Sharpens §38.2: the objective pays x60-85 to delete circulation, and until now
the deleted corridors were not missed because storage stood in for them. With
that substitution gone, homemaker-py-2v1 is the remaining half -- and now
measurable, because the fails it should prevent actually fire.
350 passed (+5 new), same 7 pre-existing fixture failures, lint unchanged.

Answering "are we clean". Generic namespace: yes. Usage namespace: no.
FINISH §39.4. The first sweep missed sites, found by a full re-grep:
graph.py's free-area budget, operators.py host-preference / keep-type /
repair-candidate, fitness.py's ("l","c","k") public-access test, bubble.py's
generic adjacency reference, and -- the important one -- cpsat.py, which was
still matching adjacency by raw startswith. graph.code_matches_requirement is
now the single public answer to "does this leaf count as the thing the
programme asked to be next to", shared by has_adjacency, has_vertical_connection
and cpsat.
RETRACT §39.5. It concluded 2g7.5's CP-SAT seeder win did not survive the
correction. That was wrong. The cause was the missed cpsat matcher above: the
exact solver was optimising a different relation than the scorer checked, so a
failing test reporting an incomplete sweep was misread as a baseline shift.
Re-measured over 6 seeds, cpsat now wins on both programmes (harbor 102/92,
maple 156/154). xfail removed.
REAL BUG UNDERNEATH: CP-SAT was never deterministic despite
num_search_workers=1 and a comment claiming it. neighbors[slot] is a set of
dom.Node, which hashes by id() -- a memory address -- so raw iteration made the
model-build order vary and CP-SAT returned a different equally-optimal
assignment each run (measured 194/180/171/182 over four identical aggregates).
sorted() on the slot indices fixes it. Also paired the wall-clock cap with
max_deterministic_time (solves run ~124ms against a 2s cap, so nothing was
timing out -- latent hazard, not the cause). solve_room_labels is now
reproducible on every captured instance; constructive_topology on the cpsat
path still is not, filed as homemaker-py-fdp (plausible contributor to b8g).
§39.6 THE SECOND NAMESPACE. Usage prefixes b/t/l/k (bedroom/toilet/living/
kitchen) classify programme codes by first letter and stay prefix-based by
design, but they are not inert: has_circulation deletes graph edges from them.
Four corpus rooms are misclassified by spelling -- la1 "Laundry Room" and li1
"Library Corner" as living, br1 "Staff Room" as bedroom, tr1 "Treatment Room"
as toilet. Measured on a health-centre seed: tr1 loses its edge to the adjacent
O, br1 loses its edge to t10 "Staff WC" -- both feed the connectivity fails §38
found persisting. Filed homemaker-py-sel; an explicit usage: key is the fix,
but it changes fitness for correctly-spelled programmes too so it needs its own
A/B.
DOCS. README gains a "Room codes and reserved names" section; CLAUDE.md and
AGENTS.md gain the same summary for agents. audit_programme_config.py now
reports the usage class each code picks up alongside the namespace and
satisfiability checks. DESIGN §37.2's note calling the c/o/s quirk "existing
product behaviour, not a bug" is annotated as superseded.
Corpus audit: zero generic-namespace violations across all ten example
programmes. 346 passed, same 7 pre-existing fixture failures, lint unchanged.

Supersedes the previous commit's approach. Renaming harbor's four colliding
codes fixed one programme; tightening the matching rule fixes the rule, so a
room may be called anything. cr1/of/st1/st2 are restored and the examples are
byte-identical to their pre-§39 state -- which also means existing .dom
artefacts (evolved-3M*) stay valid, so migrate_ju3_rename.py is deleted.
The rule: Urb has exactly three GENERIC structural types (get_space_types:
qw/C O S/), the leaves the search creates. Measured across the corpus: 154 C,
110 O, 1 S, not one lowercase generic -- while every programme code is
lowercase, including single-character ones (r, t, m, n). Case is the
discriminator, not length. Every generic test was type[0].lower() in (...), a
case-insensitive PREFIX that swept up any programme code starting with those
letters; they now match the generic set exactly. 30 sites across dom, fitness,
graph, operators, programme, shapecurve and bubble.
NOT applied to the SEMANTIC prefixes: l/k/b/t classify programme codes by first
letter (graph.py builds bedroom<->toilet and kitchen<->living relations from
them) and stay prefix-based. Where the namespaces were mixed in one expression
they were split -- has_circulation's ("b","l","k","c") is three semantic
prefixes plus dom.is_circulation; access()'s ("l","c","s") is semantic l plus
the generic circulation set.
New: dom.GENERIC_{CIRCULATION,OUTSIDE,TYPES} + is_generic(); fitness.
_generic_class(), replacing the _t0 dispatch in quality_size/quality_width/
quality_proportion/value_rate -- the four terms that mattered most and that a
first sweep missed, since they dispatch through a t0 variable rather than an
inline test. graph._adjacency_target resolves a generic adjacency requirement
(programmes write "adjacency: [c, o]") to the generic set while every other
requirement keeps Perl's prefix semantics.
Two subtleties: S is in both generic sets but takes the OUTSIDE parameter
families -- a first translation tested circulation first and silently gave S
the circulation params, caught by test_get_space_params_sahn_proportion. And
validate_codes survives, narrowed to a code spelled exactly C/O/S, which is a
genuine ambiguity; merely starting with c/o/s is now fine.
Invariant asserted as a test: test_scoring_is_invariant_under_programme_code_
spelling relabels one tree and its config together and re-scores. Bit-identical
across 12 comparisons (6 seeds x collapse on/off).
Re-baseline (seed 1, 20k, original names): 58 fails (15 hard / 43 soft) against
the real 37-instance programme, with cr1 at 79.1 m2 vs declared 80 (was 32.9
and 17.1), of/st1/st2 all present and in band, and one fail naming any of them.
57 -> 58 on a 5-instance-harder programme is within noise: "did not regress".
Fallout (§39.5): 2g7.5's CP-SAT seeder win does not survive. Over 6 seeds --
harbor real 102/114 (cpsat loses), harbor old-effective 98/99 (tie, so the win
was already marginal), maple-court 156/144 (cpsat wins). maple is the control:
the solver did not regress, harbor's programme changed. Test xfail'd with that
reason plus a maple companion; both assign_solver flags stay default off.
Filed homemaker-py-w6x to re-check other narrow-margin harbor A/Bs.
345 passed, 1 xfailed, same 7 pre-existing fixture failures.

Fixes the stale id()-keyed geometry cache read in parallel staged runs:
substrate_readiness runs in the parent process every tournament/admit
comparison but the parent's score_with_fails (which normally clears
geometry._cache) only runs in pool workers when n_workers>1, so evicted
trees' freed addresses can alias into freshly unpickled ones. Also adds
a defensive clear at collapse_global entry per the bead's recommendation
for the same cache class of hazard.

Builds path (b) from §26 -- a leaf permanently serving two DIFFERENT
compatible programme codes at once, extending leaf-sharing's same-code
multiplicity mechanism to different-but-compatible codes. Architect-declared
`co_locate` pairs (validated against interchangeable()'s S1-S4 bounds, no
transitive closure so the b3v chain problem can't recur), threaded through
graph.py's checks via a new leaf_codes() resolver and fitness.py's quality
terms (additive size, stricter-of-both width/proportion). Construction-time
only, gated behind `multi_use` (default OFF, bit-identical when off).
End-to-end A/B (20k evals x 3 seeds x 2 programmes) came back net negative:
harbor-house -4.0% but health-centre +24.5% worse (3/3 seeds), because
fusing different codes' shape targets via stricter-of-both can impose a
tighter joint constraint than either code needed alone, which the tightly-
packed health-centre programme can't absorb. Written up as DESIGN.md §33;
multi_use stays default OFF, no default-flip recommended.

The dominant post-collapse fail is the binary "level N not connected",
which is flat across fragmentation (a 7-component storey scores the same
as a 2-component one), so the outer search has no gradient toward
connected circulation. A finish-time convert-to-circulation repair was
prototyped and measured NEGATIVE (195->560 fails: bridging needed rooms
costs more missing-room fails than the one binary fail it clears).
Instead add graph.circulation_connectivity(G) = largest-circ-component
fraction, summed over storeys onto the score_with_grade proximity channel
(conf flag conn_grade; replaces the §11.4 leaf-grade there). It is a
secondary comparator key only — scalar fitness and fail count stay
byte-identical — restoring the gradient the binary fail lacks. Threaded
through driver (_overrides_for/_fitness_for/_evaluate/search; enabling it
implies the grade key) and evolve --conn-grade (default off).
A/B on full-budget runs pending; short smoke run confirms plumbing.
Tests: tests/test_conn_grade.py x9 (fraction contract, non-circ ignored,
monotone under (dis)connection, score/fail invariance); 276 pass.

Replace the area-derived share recovery with explicit, type-guarded per-leaf
multiplicity: construction stamps leaf.share=k and leaf.share_type=code; the
fitness (graph.leaf_share) honours k only while leaf.type==share_type, so any
retype/undivide auto-invalidates a stale share — no operator resets, and a
small leaf cannot retype its way into covering rooms it does not provide. Two
Node fields survive the whole search via deepcopy (genome.decode is unused in
the hot path); .dom emits `share` only on a live shared leaf.
This closes the §13.3 missing-fail leak: floor probe missing 17–44 → 0, and the
achievable floor drops −39% harbor (120.3→73.3) / −32% maple (194.7→133.0) with
no re-emergence as size fails.
Flag threaded through driver.search/search_staged → constructive_topology /
lift_base_to_storeys, exposed via LEAFSHARE/LEAFSHAREFAC in run_staged_search.py
(injects the objective into inner-loop + final-score fitness so both A/B arms
share one programme dir). run_leafshare_ab.sh runs the staged 20k A/B.
Smoke-tested end-to-end (harbor, factor 3, re-score OK). 214 tests pass;
default-OFF reproduces baseline.

Same-code rooms collapse into fewer, larger SHARED leaves so the ~1.8/leaf
shape tax (§13.1) is paid once per group. Multiplicity k is recovered from
area (k=clamp(round(area/target),1,max_share)) — no genome change — and used
in two default-OFF sites: graph.check_space_counts counts coverage (Σk vs
req.count) so one leaf covers several rooms without a missing fail, and
fitness.quality_size centres on k×target (σ scaled by k). Construction:
operators._share_rooms groups instances; _size_divisions_from_targets sizes
shared leaves to k×target via leaf_mult.
Floor probe (experiments/diag_leaf_sharing.py, harbor+maple, seeds 0/1/2,
+innerloop): total fails −27% harbor / −16% maple at share3, shape factors
fall ~linearly with leaf count (confirms §13.1). Cap: 17–44 missing fails
leak because depth maldistribution (§13.2) keeps shared leaves below k×target
so round() undercounts; inner loop can't close it. Net still positive.
Default-OFF reproduces baseline exactly (214 tests pass). Driver plumbing +
staged 20k A/B remain; §13.3 records the next design fork.

Search the genome in causal dependency order. Stage 1 evolves a single-storey
base over the level-0 room set (programme auto-derived to a tempdir), ranked
with a substrate-readiness bonus (reserved core × divisible capacity) so the
base is selected as a good substrate, not just a good ground floor (anti-§4.2).
Stage 2 lifts the best base into a full multi-storey design — preserving the
inherited core, instantiating each upper storey's required set by construction —
and searches the deltas with the base mutable at low probability (base_p=0.15).
New: programme.{n_storeys_required,partition_rooms_by_storey,write_stage1_programme},
graph.substrate_readiness, operators.{lift_base_to_storeys,_pick_weighted_by_storey},
base_p threading, driver.search rank_bonus_fn/seed_factory/base_p hooks +
search_staged orchestrator, experiments/run_staged_search.py, tests/test_staging.py.
Result (harbor, 20000 evals, seed 0): staged 95 fails vs single-stage 105
(-10, -9.5%), gain in crinkliness 27->18 + edge 12->8. Anti-bungalow confirmed
(Stage-2 core moves all noop — core inherited, not carved). Programme-house
regression PASS (warmstart-2f4 still reaches whole-pop 1-fail).
