Python rewrite of the Urb/Homemaker stack
operators.unfold_shared_leaves(): materialise each live shared leaf (share=k) into k distinct same-code sibling leaves, splitting its footprint into k equal-target children with squarest per-cut rotation (_size_subtree_equal), clearing the share stamp. Surgical — siblings' evolved geometry is untouched. Investigation result (harbor-house, evolved-3M sharing seed): - unfold alone (zero search) closes all 15 critical missing-room fails and lifts the canonical score 6.73e-29 -> 1.46e-19 (90->59 fails). - warm-starting a --no-leaf-sharing evolve from the unfolded seed runs ~7-8 orders of magnitude ahead of the naive (un-materialised) warm start at equal budget. The count deficit, not the sizing, was what stranded Schedule A deep in the fail hole. Adds test_unfold_shared_leaves_materialises_deficit.

homemaker-layout
Programme-driven building-layout search over slicing trees. A clean-room Python successor to the Perl Urb project, intended to eventually be 100% Python.
Why a rewrite
Urb represents a building as a binary slicing tree where room sizes are derived top-down from division ratios. That makes room area an emergent property of every cut above it, which:
- gives the genome low locality (a cut near the root rescales every descendant),
- makes target room sizes nearly impossible to hit, so the gaussian size penalty dominates fitness, and
- defeats crossover (transplanted subtrees lose their proportions).
homemaker inverts this: leaves carry target dimensions from the programme and division ratios are solved bottom-up for a fixed topology. The evolutionary search then only explores topology + types + adjacency.
Phase plan
Solver experiment: port Urb's geometry, re-solve ratios from programme targets, score the result against the original via the Perl oracle.✓Native Python fitness (retire the Perl oracle).✓- Memetic search (current): canonical slicing genome + high-locality operators + Nelder-Mead inner loop.
