operators._assign_adjacency_aware spends ~one extra leaf per three rooms on a
greedy connected-dominating-set of circulation leaves (read from the geometric
leaf_graph, type-independent), so every room borders a connected circulation
spine and adjacency-to-c + access are satisfied by construction. Default-on via
constructive_topology(adjacency_aware=True), threaded through
driver.search(seed_adjacency_aware) and run_search_scaled.py (ADJ env).
End-to-end single-stage, 20000 evals, mean total fails over 3 seeds:
harbor 110.0 -> 90.7 (-17.5%; ADJ=0 reproduces the §11.2 105 baseline exactly),
programme-house 12.3 -> 9.3 (-24%). Adjacency-aware single-stage harbor (mean
90.7, best 85) beats the §11.3 staged best of 95 — the first Phase-6 fail-count
reduction from seeding. Follow-ups (lift_base_to_storeys, secondary adjacencies)
filed.
