re: record an open conflict with auto/regn-reader over the +0x10 base
That branch decodes REGN as a tetrahedral navmesh with strong checks and claims the POF0 fixup base is chunk+0x10, so every offset on this page was read 16 bytes early. I could not reproduce that on the one independently checkable thing here: the plane list gives 133573/133573 unit normals at the unshifted base and 0/133573 at +16, and n.p+d = 0 holds to float round-off unshifted. A 16-byte shift destroys it, so the blanket statement does not hold for this record. Likely reconciliation is bookkeeping: a 48-byte face whose plane fields sit at a different intra-record offset addresses the same bytes from a different origin. That is a guess and I am not adopting either wording until checked. Also confirmed: my own section-0 point test passes at 100% at BOTH bases, so it never had power to distinguish them and should not be cited as validating the offsets.

## ⚠️ Open conflict with `auto/regn-reader` over the `+0x10` base
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**2026-08-26.** Branch `auto/regn-reader` decodes `REGN` as a **tetrahedral
|
||||||
|
navigation mesh** and reports the cell→geometry link solved, with strong checks
|
||||||
|
(faces passing through 3 of 4 tet vertices, 253 722/253 722; portal cost equal to
|
||||||
|
the distance between face centroids, 380 460/380 460). Its load-bearing structural
|
||||||
|
claim is that the `POF0` fixup base is **`chunk + 0x10`**, and therefore that
|
||||||
|
"every offset previously recorded on that page was read 16 bytes early" — offered
|
||||||
|
as the reason the ~20 correlation tests on this page returned chance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**I could not reproduce that as stated, on the one thing here that is
|
||||||
|
independently checkable.** Re-reading the plane list at both bases:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| | records | unit normals |
|
||||||
|
|---|---|---|
|
||||||
|
| section at `chunk + offset` (what this page used) | 133 573 | **133 573 (100.00 %)** |
|
||||||
|
| section at `chunk + 16 + offset` | 133 573 | **0 (0.00 %)** |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And the plane identity `n·p + d = 0` holds to float round-off at the **unshifted**
|
||||||
|
base. A 16-byte shift destroys it completely. So for *this* record the unshifted
|
||||||
|
reading is right, and the blanket statement is not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
🟡 **The likely reconciliation is bookkeeping, not disagreement.** The other
|
||||||
|
branch describes a 48-byte **face** record whose plane fields sit at a different
|
||||||
|
intra-record offset; `chunk+16` with the plane at `+0` addresses the same bytes as
|
||||||
|
`chunk+0` with the plane at `+16`, which is exactly what this page uses. If so
|
||||||
|
both readings are correct and only the origin convention differs — but that is a
|
||||||
|
guess, and I am not adopting either page's wording until it is checked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Also confirmed here, incidentally**: my section-0 point test passes at **100 %
|
||||||
|
at both bases**, so it never had the power to distinguish them. That test could
|
||||||
|
not have caught a 16-byte error and should not be cited as if it validated the
|
||||||
|
offsets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
❔ Until the conflict is resolved, treat the plane/face layout on this page as
|
||||||
|
verified by its own arithmetic and the tetrahedral decode on `auto/regn-reader`
|
||||||
|
as verified by its own — and do not merge the two offset conventions without
|
||||||
|
re-running one check from each.
