 # Changelog

-## 0.1.0-alpha.12.1 — 2026-09-09
+## 0.1.0-alpha.17 — 2026-09-09
+
+- Prototype de trois réseaux oubliés sur l’île initiale : mines et ateliers,
+  salles étranges, infrastructures abandonnées. Accès depuis la surface,
+  couloirs et embranchements, outils vanilla utilisables, mobilier et traces de
+  chantier. Placement borné, hors ville et eaux protégées, avec appuis vérifiés.
+- Option FR/EN « Structures expérimentales » dans Personnaliser, enregistrée
+  avec la taille du nouveau monde. Les connexions entre réseaux, le réacteur,
+  la progression et les reliques ne sont pas encore implémentés.
+- Codec `sanctuary:island_v17`, pièces natives indépendantes, journal 17.
+  Les mondes 16 et antérieurs conservent leurs plans et futurs chunks.
+  L’option ne supprime ni n’ajoute rétroactivement des structures.
+
+`check build assemblePack` passe. Création et réouverture natives : 15 pièces,
+7 639 blocs contrôlés, 49 cibles accessibles, 12 appuis et 3 coffres conservés.
+Le cas désactivé et la sauvegarde des trois tailles passent. La génération 16
+conserve les empreintes natives et le journal des témoins publiés. Artefacts
+vérifiés, release et canal packwiz publiés. Même instance Prism synchronisée
+deux fois, 767 fichiers personnels et réglages suivis conservés. Voir
+[le protocole et les coordonnées](docs/testing-alpha17.md).
+
+## 0.1.0-alpha.16 — 2026-09-09
+
+- Ville compacte obligatoire sur la nouvelle île initiale, structures activées.
+  Recherche naturelle puis réservation architecturale locale si nécessaire ;
+  les villes des continents restent conditionnelles.
+- Grande piscine couverte avec bassin de 50 × 25 × 4 blocs, promenades et
+  marches. Parkings profonds de 3 à 8 plateformes, grande salle sèche et égouts
+  ouverts vers l’extérieur avec écoulements natifs. Ces équipements restent
+  conditionnés par le relief, leurs fondations et un budget de recherche borné.
+- Plans d’étages alternés, sanitaires clos et lits contre les murs, avec
+  circulation, orientations et appuis du mobilier contrôlés.
+- Nouveau codec `sanctuary:island_v16`, journal16 et pièces natives propres.
+  Les générations publiées conservent leurs calculs, rendus et futurs chunks.
+  Un nouveau monde est nécessaire pour les nouveautés ; aucune conversion.
+
+`check build assemblePack` passe, ainsi que création/réouverture : 71 pièces,
+5 coffres et 74 appuis conservés. Piscine retenue et deux écoulements extérieurs
+vérifiés après 120 ticks réels. Six reliefs contrôlés, avec piscines dans trois
+cas et villes dans les six. Compatibilité 15 vérifiée contre ses empreintes
+publiées. Release et canal packwiz publiés ; même instance Prism synchronisée
+deux fois, avec les 767 fichiers personnels et réglages suivis conservés. Voir
+[les preuves et limites alpha.16](docs/testing-alpha16.md).
+
+## 0.1.0-alpha.15 — 2026-09-09
+
+- Six familles de bâtiments reprennent leurs intérieurs : vraies pièces et
+  portes, seuils, vestibules, couloirs, escaliers, sols, plafonds et mobilier
+  adapté. Les parcours et les approches des lits sont vérifiés.
+- Réseaux souterrains d’égouts, passages, garages et pool rooms ; descentes
+  de surface, bassins contenus et appuis courts ancrés lorsque la roche manque.
+- Petite ville compacte, rues et carrefours jointifs, terrasses dégagées et
+  ponts intégrés au réseau. Correction des charnières, sièges et appuis des
+  lanternes ; grande salle sèche dans les tunnels pour une future machine.
+- Codec `sanctuary:island_v15`, journal15 et pièces natives versionnées.
+  Les anciennes générations gardent leurs plans, rendus et sauvegardes.
+  Le contrat de reprise certifiée du vide reste strictement lié à sa génération.
+
+`check build assemblePack`, les huit tests moteur et les scénarios de création
+et réouverture passent : 76 pièces natives et cinq coffres conservés, rues et
+intérieurs accessibles, bassins contenus. Release et canal packwiz publiés ;
+même instance Prism synchronisée deux fois, 767 fichiers personnels et réglages
+suivis conservés. Le JAR d’essai anticipé est sauvegardé séparément. Voir
+[les preuves et limites alpha.15](docs/testing-alpha15.md).
+
+## 0.1.0-alpha.14 — 2026-09-09
+
+- Biome Lost City et quartiers procéduraux contemporains : poches sur l’île
+  initiale et profil `lost_city` pour les nouvelles expansions. Dix-sept types
+  de parcelles, dont quatre parcs, ponts, parkings souterrains conditionnels,
+  fouilles, piscines, casernes, halls, hôtels, bibliothèques et cuisines.
+- Palette dominée par la pierre, la pierre lisse et les briques de pierre,
+  intérieurs accessibles, ruines déterministes et coffres à butin vanilla
+  différé. Zombies vanilla par spawn naturel ; aucun spawner ni zombie spécial.
+- Nouveau codec public `sanctuary:island_v14` et journal propre de génération
+  14. Les générations 12/13 restent chargeables sans conversion. Les nouveautés
+  demandent un nouveau monde ; aucune sauvegarde personnelle n’est modifiée.
+- Expansions 64/128/256/512/1 024 ; `quick` sans taille tire selon les poids
+  40/30/18/9/3, avec résultat stable pour la graine et l’identifiant réservés.
+  Recherche proche dans le secteur demandé, séparation circulaire des emprises
+  de terrain et de décoration, sans réserver tout le voisinage de lecture.
+- Contrat de reprise différée du vide : uniquement les chunks FULL prouvés
+  vierges et vides d’un nouveau monde 14, certificat lié à un jeton immuable du
+  journal, puis réouverture et nouvelle vérification. Une présence de terrain,
+  d’entité, de POI, de ticks ou une preuve manquante arrête cette reprise.
+
+`check build assemblePack`, les huit tests moteur, la création et la réouverture
+de Lost City passent. La reprise du vide conserve 154 chunks FULL éclairés
+correctement et un bloc témoin après réouvertures. JAR, MRpack et amorçage Prism
+publiés et vérifiés, canal packwiz avancé. Deux synchronisations isolées puis
+deux dans la même instance Prism Mac passent, avec 713 fichiers personnels et
+réglages suivis conservés. Aucun essai Windows natif effectué. Voir les
+[preuves et limites alpha.14](docs/testing-alpha14.md).
+
+## 0.1.0-alpha.13.1 — 2026-09-09
+
+- Corrige l’arrêt des expansions sous Windows : le journal ne tente plus
+  d’ouvrir son dossier comme un fichier pour le synchroniser. Cette opération
+  reste exigée sur les systèmes de fichiers utilisant le séparateur Unix.
+- Écriture du fichier synchronisée, remplacement atomique et relecture stricte
+  conservés. Les véritables erreurs de stockage arrêtent toujours les expansions.
+- Après mise à jour et réouverture du même monde, une réservation valide déjà
+  enregistrée avant l’erreur est reprise automatiquement. Aucun changement de
+  schéma du journal, de génération, de paramètres ou de chunks existants.
+
+Le smoke du journal passe sur macOS, avec politique Windows simulée, erreurs
+après remplacement et récupération au rechargement. Aucun essai Windows natif
+n’a encore été réalisé. Voir le [dépannage](docs/alpha13-worldgen.md#correctif-alpha131--expansions-sous-windows)

+
+## 0.1.0-alpha.13 — 2026-09-09
+
+- Un seul choix public **Sanctuary**, avec le bouton natif **Personnaliser** :
+  Petit (512 blocs), Moyen (724, par défaut), Grand (1 024). Le diamètre est
+  enregistré dans le générateur ; confirmer ou annuler agit sur le monde à créer.
+- Île initiale issue de la densité et de l’hydrologie complète de Population,
+  avec sa forêt de surface et les poches de biomes souterrains natives du
+  laboratoire. Les eaux et les ressources restent dépendantes du terrain.
+- Reprise des outils d’expansion alpha.12.1 dans ce même monde : parent,
+  direction, climat, taille, relief, distance facultative et recherche de sites
+  libres, sans remplacer les chunks existants. Le déblocage collectif reste futur.
+- Nouveau codec `sanctuary:island_v13`, racine de génération 13 et journal
+  `data/sanctuary-world-v13/expansions.json`. Les extensions restent de génération
+  12. Anciens codecs et presets conservés mais cachés de la création ; aucun
+  monde existant converti, agrandi ou régénéré.
+- La suite GameTest unifiée devient le défaut de `check` et `runGameTest` ; les
+  essais historiques demandent `-PsanctuaryUnifiedTests=false`.
+
+`check build assemblePack`, interface client, trois tailles et rechargement des
+expansions vérifiés. Moyen : 63,66 s pour créer puis charger 289 chunks FULL

+sous-sols sur les nouvelles îles de départ. Le canal packwiz et la même instance
+Prism sont à jour ; voir [Distribution](docs/packwiz.md).
+
+## Alpha.17 — prototype des réseaux oubliés
+
+La nouvelle génération expérimentale recherche trois petits réseaux sur l’île
+initiale : mines et ateliers, salles étranges, installations techniques
+abandonnées. Chaque réseau possède une entrée de surface et des salles reliées,
+avec mobilier, outils vanilla et traces de travaux interrompus. Les continents
+conservent leur génération urbaine sans recevoir ces réseaux supplémentaires.
+
+Dans **Personnaliser**, l’option **Structures expérimentales** accompagne les
+trois tailles habituelles. Elle est enregistrée avec chaque nouveau monde ;
+elle permet de comparer un monde avec les nouveaux lieux et un autre avec le
+socle urbain seul. La présence des réseaux dépend des emplacements admissibles
+trouvés dans un budget borné. Les connexions entre familles restent à construire.
+
+Le prototype demande un **nouveau monde**. Les mondes 16 et antérieurs gardent
+leur génération. Revenir au binaire 16 ne permet pas d’ouvrir un monde 17 : les
+mondes d’essai restent séparés. Voir [le contrat alpha.17](docs/testing-alpha17.md).
+Le réacteur, la progression et les reliques restent prévus pour la suite.
+
+`check build assemblePack`, création/réouverture et option désactivée passent.

+trois réseaux, créer un monde **Moyen, graine 0**, option activée ;
+`/locate structure sanctuary:forgotten_networks` indique une entrée de surface.
+
+## Alpha.16 — Sanctuary habitée avant nous
+
+Une ville compacte apparaît sur la nouvelle île de départ lorsque les structures
+sont activées. Les étages varient leurs plans ; les sanitaires sont clos et les
+lits adossés aux murs. Sous la ville, la génération recherche une piscine couverte
+de **50 × 25 blocs**, des parkings de **3 à 8 plateformes**, une grande salle
+sèche et des égouts qui s’ouvrent vers l’extérieur avec de vrais écoulements.
+Chaque équipement dépend du relief et des appuis : les six îles testées ont une
+ville, mais seules trois accueillent la grande piscine. Les continents conservent
+leurs villes conditionnelles.
+
+Créer un **nouveau monde Sanctuary** pour la génération 16. Les mondes publiés
+jusqu’à l’alpha.15 gardent leur génération, y compris dans leurs futurs chunks.
+Le bouton natif **Personnaliser** conserve Petit 512, Moyen 724 par défaut et
+Grand 1 024. Le [protocole alpha.16](docs/testing-alpha16.md) donne les preuves,
+les limites et les coordonnées du monde **Moyen, graine 0**, qui contient la
+piscine, huit niveaux de parking, la salle et l’égout ouvert.
+
+`check build assemblePack`, la création et la réouverture natives passent.
+La compatibilité 15 est vérifiée contre les empreintes de la version publiée.
+La [release alpha.16](https://git.botsu.net/koka/sanctuary-beta/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.16)
+est disponible ; deux synchronisations de la même instance Prism conservent
+les 767 fichiers personnels et réglages suivis.
+Les futurs donjons formeront plusieurs réseaux parfois connectés, avec des
+installations encore utilisables et des chantiers interrompus. Le réacteur,
+les reliques et leurs récompenses restent à construire.
+
+## Alpha.15 — ville compacte et réseaux
+
+Les bâtiments de Lost City reçoivent des plans intérieurs détaillés : pièces,
+portes, vestibules, couloirs, escaliers, chambres, cuisines et salles d’eau.
+Les égouts relient des salles et équipements souterrains, avec garages, pool
+rooms et accès depuis la surface. Les bâtiments se regroupent en une
+petite ville compacte avec rues, carrefours et entrées reliés. Les ponts et
+viaducs prolongent le réseau ; le terrain est dégagé dans l’emprise urbaine.
+Une grande salle souterraine prépare la future machine d’expansion.
+
+Le biome Lost City est conservé car il pilote réellement les biomes urbains
+et leurs apparitions de zombies vanilla. La nouvelle génération **15** demande
+un **nouveau monde Sanctuary** ; les mondes 12/13/14 gardent leur génération.
+Les tailles et le bouton natif **Personnaliser** restent identiques. Le
+[protocole alpha.15](docs/testing-alpha15.md) consigne les preuves et les limites. Les tests de création et de réouverture
+passent, ainsi que `check build assemblePack`. La
+[release alpha.15](https://git.botsu.net/koka/sanctuary-beta/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.15)
+est publiée ; la même instance Prism est synchronisée deux fois, avec 767
+fichiers personnels et réglages suivis conservés. Créer un **nouveau monde**,
+y compris après le JAR d’essai anticipé15. La machine d’expansion et ses cartes
+préremplies restent prévues pour un prochain ticket.
+
+## Alpha.14 — Lost City
+
+Lost City est un biome de quartiers contemporains abandonnés, composé par du
+code Sanctuary original. Des poches urbaines peuvent apparaître sur l’île de
+départ ; le profil d’expansion `lost_city` permet d’en rechercher dans les
+nouveaux continents. Le relief et ses fondations décident des emplacements :
+un quartier ou un type de bâtiment n’est pas garanti sur chaque île.
+
+Les 17 types comprennent rues, ponts, quatre parcs (boisé, jardin, aire de jeux,
+mémorial), places, marchés, parkings, excavations, piscines abandonnées,
+immeubles d’appartements, hôtels, bibliothèques, restaurants avec cuisine,
+casernes et halls. **Pierre, pierre lisse et briques de pierre** forment la
+palette principale, avec des variantes fissurées ou moussues, du verre et
+quelques détails de fer et de chêne noir. Les étages disposent d’escaliers et
+les pièces d’aménagements propres à leur usage.
+
+Les parkings souterrains, fouilles et piscines demandent une épaisseur de roche
+vérifiée sur toute leur emprise. Les piscines ont un fond, des parois continues
+et des marches ; les ponts enjambent de courtes failles entre deux berges
+supportées. Les monstres naturels du biome sont des zombies vanilla, soumis
+aux règles de lumière et de difficulté du jeu. Aucun spawner ou zombie spécial
+n’est ajouté ; les variantes de zombies et la progression restent pour la bêta.
+
+Créer un **nouveau monde Sanctuary** pour la génération 14. Le bouton natif
+**Personnaliser** conserve Petit 512, Moyen 724 par défaut et Grand 1 024.
+Les mondes 12/13 gardent leurs codecs, journaux, paramètres et chunks.
+
+Dans un nouveau monde de génération 14, les outils opérateur acceptent des
+expansions de 64, 128, 256, 512 ou 1 024 blocs. `quick` sans taille effectue un
+tirage reproductible favorisant les petites îles. Les emplacements suivent des
+secteurs directionnels autour du parent, avec séparation des emprises écrites.
+La reprise éventuelle de chunks de vide déjà explorés exige un certificat
+strict lié au journal et une réouverture du monde ; aucun terrain occupé n’est
+admis dans ce mécanisme.
+
+Le [contrat et protocole alpha.14](docs/testing-alpha14.md) précisent les
+commandes, la protection des sauvegardes et les vérifications réussies :
+`check build assemblePack`, création et réouverture des quartiers, reprise du
+vide certifié et validation des artefacts de distribution.
+La [release alpha.14](https://git.botsu.net/koka/sanctuary-beta/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.14),
+le MRpack et le canal packwiz sont publiés. Deux installations isolées puis deux
+synchronisations de la même instance Prism Mac passent ; les 713 fichiers
+personnels et réglages suivis conservent leurs hashes. Aucun monde personnel
+n’a été ouvert ou régénéré. La validation native Windows reste à effectuer.
+
+## Alpha.13.1 — correctif des expansions sous Windows
+
+Le journal d’expansion n’essaie plus d’ouvrir son dossier comme un fichier sous
+Windows, ce qui provoquait `AccessDeniedException` et bloquait les expansions.
+La synchronisation du fichier, son remplacement atomique et sa relecture restent
+obligatoires. Le format du journal et la génération alpha.13 restent identiques.
+
+Après installation du correctif, **rouvrir le même monde** : une réservation déjà
+enregistrée est reprise après vérification du journal. Il ne faut pas supprimer
+`sanctuary-world-v13` ni recréer le monde pour ce correctif. Voir le
+[dépannage Windows](docs/alpha13-worldgen.md) et la [validation](docs/testing.md).
+
+La [release alpha.13.1](https://git.botsu.net/koka/sanctuary-beta/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.13.1)
+et le canal packwiz sont publiés. Deux synchronisations isolées et deux
+synchronisations de l’instance Mac existante passent ; les 713 fichiers personnels
+et réglages suivis restent identiques. Aucun accès à l’instance Windows n’a eu lieu.
+
+## Alpha.13 — un seul monde Sanctuary
+
+À la création d’un **nouveau monde**, sélectionner **Sanctuary**, puis utiliser
+le bouton natif **Personnaliser** pour choisir la taille de l’île :
+
+| Taille | Diamètre nominal |
+| --- | --- |
+| Petit | 512 blocs |
+| Moyen, par défaut | 724 blocs |
+| Grand | 1 024 blocs |
+
+**Terminé** conserve le choix ; **Annuler** revient sans l’appliquer. La hauteur
+reste de 384 blocs. Ces tailles décrivent une emprise, sans promettre un nombre
+de joueurs, une aire constructible ou un stock de minerais.
+
+L’île reprend les forêts, le relief flottant et les plans d’eau complets du
+générateur précédent : bassins, rivière, terrasses et cascades restent liés
+aux possibilités naturelles du terrain. Les poches de cavités natives de Minecraft
+du laboratoire rejoignent cette île. Les commandes opérateur
+d’expansion, avec leur distance facultative et leur recherche d’emplacements
+libres, sont accessibles dans ce même nouveau monde. Les déblocages par la
+production et l’XP restent à construire.
+
+Les anciens choix Petit/Grand et Laboratoire sont cachés à la création, tout
+en restant chargeables avec leurs paramètres enregistrés. **Aucun monde
+existant n’est converti ni régénéré.** Le [guide alpha.13](docs/alpha13-worldgen.md)
+détaille la création, les expansions et la séparation des sauvegardes.
+
+`check build assemblePack`, les tests client, les trois tailles et les scénarios
+d’expansion/rechargement passent. Moyen atteint 63,66 secondes pour la création
+puis 289 chunks FULL dans le test serveur de référence. Les preuves et leurs
+limites sont dans [Validation](docs/testing.md).
+
+À la livraison alpha.13, le canal packwiz, le MRpack et la même instance Prism
+avaient été mis à jour, avec les 601 fichiers personnels et réglages alors suivis conservés.

+Le nouveau monde reprend le générateur complet de l’île initiale : forêts de
+chênes et de bouleaux, clairières, affleurements, strates rocheuses et corniches
+intérieures. Son relief flottant conserve les trous et les surplombs, sans
+ajouter de noyau cylindrique pour garantir un terrain à l’origine.
+
+Les plans hydrologiques de Population sont repris : étangs et lacs, recherche
+de rivière, bassins étagés et leurs débordements, sources et cascades, poche et
+coulées de lave. Le placement dépend des supports réellement présents dans la
+roche. Un plan qui ne trouve pas de site admissible reste absent ; aucune
+rivière, terrasse ou ressource n’est garantie sur chaque graine. Les eaux en
+terrasses permettent la nage verticale sans ajouter de culture de riz.
+
+Les poches souterraines natives du laboratoire rejoignent cette île : cavités
+luxuriantes, à spéléothèmes ou soufrées, avec leurs décorations Minecraft.
+Il s’agit toujours des profondeurs de l’Overworld, pas de la dimension des
+cavernes prévue dans la vision. L’île garde sa palette tempérée en surface ;
+Dappled Forest reste disponible dans les expansions au climat automnal.
+
+L’intégration protège les volumes déclarés par les plans d’eau et de lave
+contre les écritures de décoration suivantes. Cette protection concerne les
+plans de génération, sans mettre les blocs à l’abri des actions des joueurs.
+Les preuves moteur et leurs limites sont suivies dans [Validation](testing.md).
+
+## Ajouter une île
+
+Les commandes demandent les commandes autorisées en solo ou la permission
+opérateur sur le serveur. Elles reprennent les outils alpha.12.1 dans le nouveau
+monde Sanctuary. L’économie, les recherches et les contributions collectives
+ne conditionnent pas encore leur utilisation.
+
+```text
+/sanctuary expansion quick north autumn 128 peaks
+/sanctuary expansion list
+/sanctuary expansion visit island_1
+/sanctuary expansion create oasis island_1 east arid 64 natural 2048
+```
+
+`quick` ouvre une île depuis Sanctuary et lui attribue un identifiant `island_N`.
+L’exemple de visite suppose qu’il s’agit de la première réservation ; `list`
+indique l’identifiant et l’état réels. La visite attend que l’île soit prête.
+`create` choisit un nom et un parent déjà prêt pour prolonger une branche.
+La création ne téléporte personne implicitement.
+
+Les nouveaux continents choisissent leur propre direction, climat, diamètre
+**64/128/256/512** et relief **natural/peaks/canyon/volcano**. La direction ne
+contraint pas le climat. L’autocomplétion fournit les huit directions et les
+douze profils : `temperate`, `boreal`, `glacial`, `cold_humid`, `humid`, `tropical`,
+`warm`, `arid`, `dry`, `cold_dry`, `autumn`, `cherry`.
+
+Le dernier nombre facultatif est une **distance minimale entre les centres**
+du parent et de l’enfant, entre 0 et 100 000 blocs. Une valeur de 0 ou son
+omission laisse le placement automatique. Les marges et l’alignement sur les
+chunks peuvent éloigner le centre retenu.
+
+Si le premier site est occupé, la recherche continue plus loin dans la même
+direction : au plus 32 positions et 30 secondes de lecture au total. Même du
+vide déjà généré compte comme occupé. Une erreur disque arrête la demande ;
+elle n’autorise pas à remplacer les chunks concernés.
+
+```text
+/sanctuary expansion preview glacier sanctuary northeast glacial 256 canyon 2048
+/sanctuary expansion resume island_1
+```
+
+`preview` calcule une proposition géométrique sans activer l’île et sans vérifier
+l’occupation ou les fondations. `resume` reprend une réservation interrompue,
+avec sa graine et ses paramètres conservés. Le système ne fournit aucune commande
+de régénération des régions déjà créées.
+
+Les îles ajoutées gardent la génération d’expansion alpha.12 : leurs climats,
+reliefs, décorations et structures compatibles. Elles ne reçoivent pas
+systématiquement la grande rivière ou les terrasses de l’île initiale. Villages,
+temples, cabanes de marais et camps abandonnés dépendent du biome, du diamètre
+et des fondations ; aucune présence n’est garantie. Les règles de progression
+futures restent décrites dans [Expansion](expansion.md).
+
+## Correctif alpha.13.1 — expansions sous Windows
+
+L’erreur `AccessDeniedException` visant le **dossier**
+`data/sanctuary-world-v13`, depuis `ExpansionJournal.persist`, vient de la
+synchronisation du répertoire après l’écriture du journal. Java sous Windows
+ne permet pas cette ouverture avec `FileChannel` ; ce message ne signifie pas
+à lui seul que le joueur manque de droits sur sa sauvegarde.
+
+1. Fermer Minecraft pour arrêter la session dont les expansions sont bloquées.
+2. Mettre l’instance Prism existante à jour vers **0.1.0-alpha.13.1** via son
+   canal packwiz, puis relancer le jeu.
+3. Rouvrir **le même monde** et consulter `/sanctuary expansion list`.
+
+Si l’instance Windows a été importée depuis le MRpack sans auto-update, fermer
+Minecraft puis remplacer seulement `sanctuary-0.1.0-alpha.13.jar` par le JAR
+`sanctuary-0.1.0-alpha.13.1.jar` de la release dans son dossier `mods`.
+Conserver un seul JAR Sanctuary actif ; les autres mods et les sauvegardes
+restent dans la même instance. Le raccordement au canal stable est décrit dans
+[Distribution](packwiz.md#raccorder-linstance-prism-existante).
+
+Le remplacement du journal ayant précédé cette erreur, l’expansion demandée
+peut déjà être enregistrée comme `reserved`. Au chargement, les réservations
+valides reprennent automatiquement avec leur identifiant, leur graine et leur
+position. Il n’est pas nécessaire de recréer le monde ou de supprimer le dossier
+du journal. La commande `resume` seule ne débloque pas une session dont le
+journal a été déclaré indisponible : sa relecture exige de rouvrir le monde.
+
+Le correctif conserve le format et le contenu du journal existant ; il ne
+migre ni ne régénère les chunks. La [validation ciblée](testing.md#correctif-alpha131--journal-dexpansion-sous-windows)
+distingue les contrôles locaux de l’essai Windows natif restant à effectuer.
+
+## Paramètres et sauvegardes
+
+Le preset public `sanctuary:sanctuary` utilise le nouveau codec de générateur
+`sanctuary:island_v13`. Sa source de biomes est également enregistrée sous
+`sanctuary:island_v13`. Le générateur sérialise `initial_diameter`, limité à
+512, 724 ou 1 024 ; une valeur absente prend 724. Ce champ appartient à la
+sauvegarde créée, et ne suit pas les changements ultérieurs de défaut du pack.
+
+Pour l’île initiale, les réglages internes `sanctuary:unified_5`,
+`sanctuary:unified_10` et `sanctuary:unified_20` correspondent respectivement
+aux diamètres 512, 724 et 1 024. Les suffixes sont des références de calcul,
+pas des capacités affichées. Ils reprennent la densité Population et son
+hydrologie avec le générateur et le `RandomState` propres à l’origine.
+
+La source combine la palette Population de départ et le sélecteur de cavités
+natives du laboratoire, avec les mêmes conditions de sélection de ces poches.
+Les îles enfants conservent le sélecteur climatique du laboratoire. Les 34
+biomes natifs de cette palette et les dix biomes Population sont déclarés
+avant la première expansion ; TerraMix n’est pas une dépendance téléchargée.
+
+Le nouveau journal est enregistré dans le dossier du monde :
+
+```text
+data/sanctuary-world-v13/expansions.json
+```
+
+Son schéma reste **1**, avec une racine de **génération 13** et des extensions
+de **génération 12**. Les identifiants, parents, graines, paramètres, positions
+et états d’ouverture sont conservés côté serveur. La racine et le diamètre
+initial ne sont pas modifiables par une commande d’expansion.
+
+Les mondes du laboratoire alpha.12/12.1 gardent leur codec et leur journal
+`data/sanctuary-expansion-v1/expansions.json`. Les générations Population et
+les autres générations antérieures gardent leurs paramètres enregistrés.
+Les presets historiques sont conservés mais cachés dans la création publique.
+**Aucun monde n’est converti, agrandi, réduit ou régénéré par l’alpha.13.**
+Le [guide alpha.12](alpha12-laboratory.md) est une référence historique, pas une
+instruction de sélectionner à nouveau le laboratoire pour cette version.
+
+## Contrôles de développement
+
+`./gradlew check build assemblePack` et `:sanctuary:runGameTest` sélectionnent
+par défaut la suite unifiée. Son diamètre de test se choisit avec
+`-PsanctuaryTestDiameter=512`, `724` ou `1024` ; il ne change pas le défaut public.

+### WG-15 — Unifier Sanctuary et ses options — alpha.13
+
+**Branche :** `codex/unified-worldgen`.
+
+- Un seul type public Sanctuary, bouton Personnaliser avec Petit (512), Moyen
+  (724, défaut), Grand (1 024). Choix enregistré dans le générateur ; Annuler
+  conserve les réglages. Les types vanilla restent disponibles.
+- Réunir le relief, les forêts, minerais, rivières, bassins, terrasses et lave
+  de Sanctuary avec les cavités vanilla luxuriantes, à spéléothèmes et soufrées
+  du laboratoire, en protégeant les volumes hydrologiques pendant la décoration.
+- Les outils d’expansion alpha.12.1 fonctionnent dans les nouveaux mondes unifiés.
+  Même contrat opérateur, réservation de zones nouvelles et refus du vide exploré.
+- Nouveau codec et origine génération 13 ; les anciens codecs et journaux restent
+  chargeables. Aucun monde personnel n’est ouvert ou converti, aucun chunk régénéré.
+- Vérifier les trois tailles, cavités réellement décorées et fluides après ticks,
+  persistance/rechargement, UI client, build et distribution dans la même instance.
+
+**État :** implémenté et vérifié : bouton natif, paramètres sur disque, huit tests
+moteur par taille sur la graine 42, eau après 1 800 ticks, trois cavités natives,
+compatibilité historique et rechargement des expansions. Moyen : 63,66 s pour
+création et 289 chunks FULL dans le protocole serveur de référence.
+`check build assemblePack` passe. Release, MRpack et canal packwiz publiés ;
+même instance Prism synchronisée deux fois, avec 601 fichiers personnels et
+réglages suivis conservés.
+Les limites, dont l’absence de preuve de camp dans l’origine unifiée des graines
+inspectées, sont documentées dans [Validation](testing.md).
+
+### WG-16 — Journal d’expansion sous Windows — alpha.13.1
+
+**Branche :** `codex/windows-expansion-journal`.
+
+**Problème :** après le remplacement atomique du journal, l’ouverture de son
+répertoire par `FileChannel` échoue sous Windows avec `AccessDeniedException`.
+La session arrête alors toute expansion, même si la réservation a déjà été écrite.
+
+- Écarter uniquement la synchronisation de répertoire non prise en charge par
+  le système de fichiers Windows ; conserver force du fichier, remplacement
+  atomique, relecture stricte et arrêt sur les véritables erreurs de stockage.
+- Conserver le schéma, les identifiants, la géométrie et les journaux existants.
+  Après mise à jour et rechargement, reprendre les réservations déjà enregistrées
+  avec le mécanisme existant, sans suppression ni reconstruction de l’historique.
+- Tester le chemin Windows par injection, une panne après remplacement et la
+  reprise, puis le build et les scénarios moteur dans le développement local.
+- Publier le correctif sur le canal stable. La machine Windows signalée n’est
+  pas accessible depuis cet environnement Mac : ne pas prétendre l’avoir testée.
+
+**État :** correctif et tests vérifiés en alpha.13.1. `check build assemblePack`
+passe, ainsi que le smoke du journal et les scénarios de création/rechargement
+dans deux processus Minecraft distincts. Validation Windows par injection sur

+
+### WG-17 — Lost City, territoires urbains en ruine — alpha.14
+
+**Branche :** `codex/lost-city-biome`.
+
+**Contrat :** créer un biome Lost City avec quartiers contemporains explorables,
+rues, ponts, parcs boisés, jardins, aires de jeux, mémoriaux, places, marchés,
+parkings, excavations, piscines et bâtiments variés : appartements, hôtels,
+bibliothèques, restaurants/cuisines, casernes et grands halls. Les
+palettes reposent sur la pierre, la pierre lisse et les briques de pierre avec
+leurs variantes usées. Les zombies vanilla occupent les lieux par les règles
+de spawn ; aucun spawner ni nouveau zombie spécial dans cette étape.
+
+- Des quartiers localisés peuvent apparaître sur l’île initiale ; conserver
+  une majorité de terrain naturel et les systèmes hydrologiques/cavités.
+- Profil d’expansion `lost_city` pour tester des territoires urbains plus vastes.
+  Bâtiments, circulations et ponts s’appuient sur le relief, sans remplir le vide.
+- Structures natives persistantes, génération déterministe par graine,
+  décoration bornée par chunk, intérieurs accessibles et butin limité.
+- Dix-sept types de parcelles aux aménagements distincts. Parkings souterrains,
+  piscines et fouilles conditionnés à une roche continue sur toute l’emprise ;
+  garage en surface ou parc de repli sinon. Parois et marches des piscines,
+  escaliers et barrières des fouilles, ponts sans remplissage du vide.
+- Expansions 64/128/256/512/1 024 dans les nouveaux mondes 14 ; `quick` sans
+  taille tire selon les poids 40/30/18/9/3, avec résultat reproductible par graine
+  et identifiant. Placement proche dans un secteur directionnel, séparation
+  des emprises circulaires écrites et garde aux coins de chunks.
+- Nouvelle génération **14**, codec `sanctuary:island_v14`, journal propre
+  `data/sanctuary-world-v14/expansions.json` de schéma 1. Ce contrat s’applique
+  uniquement aux nouveaux mondes et à leurs expansions autorisées par commande.
+  Les codecs 12/13, leurs journaux et les chunks existants gardent leur génération.
+  Aucun monde personnel n’est ouvert, modifié, converti ou régénéré.
+- Contrat particulier de reprise du vide, limité aux mondes 14 : certificat
+  explicite pour des chunks FULL entièrement vides et vierges, lié au jeton
+  immuable de la réservation. Réouverture obligatoire avant préparation et
+  recontrôle de la preuve ; aucune régénération de terrain occupé. L’absence
+  d’une preuve complète, des entités, POI, ticks ou événements bloc empêchent
+  l’admission. Le [contrat détaillé](testing-alpha14.md) fait partie du ticket.
+- Vérifier structures et biomes dans le moteur, persistance après redémarrage,
+  fondations, circulation, absence de spawners/villageois, héritage Windows,
+  build et pack. Livrer dans le canal stable et la même instance Prism.
+
+**État : terminé et livré en alpha.14.** Build et tests moteur réussis,
+release et canal packwiz publiés, deux synchronisations isolées puis deux dans
+la même instance Prism Mac réussies, 713 fichiers personnels et réglages suivis
+conservés. Aucun essai Windows natif effectué. Les résultats sont suivis dans
+[Validation alpha.14](testing-alpha14.md). Les alpha.15/.16 poursuivront la validation de génération
+avant la bêta consacrée aux systèmes et à la progression. Les infectés, spitters,
+boomers, hunters, chargeurs et autres variantes restent réservés à la bêta.
+
+### WG-18 — Lost City, ville compacte et réseaux souterrains — alpha.15
+
+**Branche :** `codex/lost-city-interiors`.
+
+**Contrat :** reprendre les bâtiments avec des pièces aménagées et une
+circulation lisible, puis rendre les équipements souterrains et franchissements
+réellement découvrables dans une petite ville dense et reliée.
+
+- Premier chantier : plans intérieurs propres aux appartements, hôtels,
+  bibliothèques, restaurants, casernes et halls ; seuil, portes, vestibule,
+  couloirs, escaliers, sols, plafonds, chambres et détails d'usage.
+- Deuxième chantier en parallèle : égouts procéduraux, pool rooms et garages
+  reliés par des passages, avec accès depuis la surface. Les portions exposées
+  au vide exigent des chaînes ou des pylônes ancrés dans la roche, de longueur
+  bornée. Préserver les eaux naturelles et contenir les bassins construits.
+- Troisième chantier : une grille urbaine compacte, avec lots, rues et carrefours
+  jointifs. Les lots sans accès au réseau sont refusés ; les terrasses et
+  dégagements restent dans l’emprise urbaine certifiée. Les ponts et viaducs
+  prolongent ce réseau. Aucun équipement ne doit flotter sans appui.
+- Retour de l’essai anticipé : corriger les charnières, les dossiers des sièges
+  et les lanternes ; contrôler les directions après rotation et leur appui sur
+  des blocs complets. Une grande salle sèche accessible dans les tunnels prépare
+  la future machine d’expansion, sans l’activer dans cet incrément.
+- Le biome `sanctuary:lost_city` est conservé : il est effectivement utilisé
+  pour les parcelles urbaines, la décoration et les apparitions naturelles.
+- Nouvelle génération **15**, codec `sanctuary:island_v15`, journal propre
+  `data/sanctuary-world-v15/expansions.json`. Les mondes 12/13/14 conservent leurs
+  codecs, plans et rendus historiques, y compris les chunks encore non générés.
+  Les nouvelles pièces ont un identifiant et des paramètres persistants propres.
+  Aucun monde personnel n'est ouvert, converti ou régénéré pour cette livraison.
+- La reprise certifiée du vide conserve le contrat WG-17 dans le journal15,
+  avec une identité de génération stricte ; aucun certificat14 n'autorise15.
+- Vérifier parcours, portes et lits, géométrie/supports, eau après ticks, témoins
+  natifs des équipements, biomes et persistance après réouverture. Exécuter
+  `check build assemblePack`, publier un artefact immuable, avancer packwiz et
+  synchroniser deux fois la même instance Prism avec conservation des réglages.
+
+**État : livré et vérifié.** Les tests détaillés et les scénarios natifs de
+création/réouverture passent, avec 76 pièces conservées. `check build assemblePack`
+final passe. Release, canal packwiz et même instance Prism à jour ; deux
+synchronisations réussies et 767 fichiers personnels/réglages suivis conservés.
+Voir [les preuves](testing-alpha15.md) et [le reçu](packwiz.md).
+
+### WG-19 — Sanctuary habitée avant nous — alpha.16
+
+**Branche :** `codex/sanctuary-ruins-alpha16`.
+
+**Contrat :** conserver l’alpha.15 publiée et corriger les ruines pour que
+Sanctuary Island possède un quartier identifiable et des infrastructures
+profondes qui donnent l’impression d’une occupation antérieure.
+
+- Une zone de ville est obligatoire sur la nouvelle île initiale ; les
+  continents restent soumis à leur profil et au terrain. Garder une ville
+  compacte, ses rues continues et la salle souterraine existante.
+- Remplacer les minuscules bassins des pool rooms par de grandes piscines
+  souterraines, avec volumes lisibles, allées et accès découvrables.
+- Prolonger des égouts jusqu’à de vraies ouvertures extérieures, avec sources
+  et écoulements natifs contrôlés ; les fuites vers le vide sont souhaitées.
+- Ajouter sous la ville des plateformes de parking profondes, des ouvertures
+  et des circulations en descente. Les volumes, supports et coûts de génération
+  restent bornés ; ne pas fabriquer une masse cylindrique sous l’île.
+- Varier les plans et usages entre étages ; sanitaires clos et raccordés aux
+  cloisons, lits adossés à un mur, orientations et passages cohérents.
+- Nouvelle génération16, codecs et pièces propres : les mondes publiés jusqu’à15
+  gardent leurs plans, rendus, journaux et chunks futurs. Aucun monde personnel
+  n’est converti ou régénéré. Tests dans de nouveaux mondes de développement.
+- Le réacteur, les nouvelles familles de donjons, les reliques et leurs règles
+  de butin restent à concevoir par questions à partir de la vision. Ne pas
+  implémenter le réacteur ni activer la progression dans cet incrément.
+- Valider la présence et l’accès des piscines, les exutoires après ticks réels,
+  les parcours, la variation des étages, la persistance et la compatibilité15.
+  Exécuter `check build assemblePack`, publier l’alpha.16 et synchroniser la même
+  instance Prism selon le canal packwiz et ses sauvegardes ciblées.
+
+**État : livré et vérifié.** Création et
+réouverture natives réussies, 71 pièces conservées, piscine de 50 × 25 et
+parking à huit niveaux démontrés. Les six reliefs contrôlés ont une ville ; les
+équipements restent conditionnels. `check build assemblePack` passe et la
+compatibilité15 conserve les empreintes publiées. Voir [les preuves](testing-alpha16.md).
+Release et canal packwiz publiés ; même instance Prism synchronisée deux fois,
+avec les 767 fichiers personnels et réglages suivis conservés. Voir [le reçu](packwiz.md).
+Les choix des futurs réseaux et donjons sont consignés dans la vision.
+
+### WG-20 — Réseaux oubliés, prototype réversible — alpha.17
+
+**Branche :** `codex/structures-experiment-alpha17`.
+
+**Contrat :** rendre explorables les trois familles validées : mines et ateliers,
+lieux étranges physiques dans l’île, infrastructures abandonnées. Les traces
+privilégient des installations utilisables et des chantiers interrompus.
+
+- Nouveau générateur 17 et option « Structures expérimentales » dans le bouton
+  natif Personnaliser. La taille et l’option sont enregistrées avec le nouveau
+  monde ; aucune activation rétroactive ou suppression de structures existantes.
+- Conserver les codecs, pièces, plans et futurs chunks des générations publiées,
+  dont 16. La ville 16 reste le socle de 17 ; les nouveaux réseaux disposent de
+  leurs pièces natives, emprises protégées et calculs bornés propres.
+- Trois petits réseaux recherchés sur l’île initiale, avec accès de surface,
+  salles, galeries et mobilier. Les continents ne reçoivent pas ce prototype.
+  Les connexions entre réseaux seront évaluées après les premières implantations.
+- Ne pas implémenter de réacteur, progression, reliques ou règles de récompenses
+  personnelles. Les coffres éventuels utilisent des tables vanilla différées.
+- Tester terrain/supports, connexions internes, accès, réglage sauvegardé,
+  placement natif et réouverture. Livrer le pack et synchroniser l’instance
+  existante selon le protocole packwiz. Donner graines et coordonnées d’essai.
+
+**État : livré en alpha.17.** Création/réouverture, option désactivée,
+compatibilité 16 et `check build assemblePack` passent. Release et canal packwiz
+publiés, même instance Prism synchronisée deux fois ; les 767 fichiers personnels
+et réglages suivis sont conservés. Voir [le reçu](packwiz.md) et
+[les coordonnées d’essai](testing-alpha17.md).
+Retour arrière par branche/artefact et option désactivée
+pour un autre nouveau monde. Aucun retour binaire vers 16 dans une sauvegarde 17
+n’est déclaré compatible ; les mondes d’essai restent séparés.
+
+### WG-21 — Audit des structures et des anciennes circulations
+
+**Branche :** `codex/structures-audit`.
+
+**Demande :** avant de poursuivre l’implémentation, proposer des structures
+contemporaines, des axes abandonnés à l’échelle de l’île et leurs liens possibles
+avec l’expansion, la mailbox et les objets utiles cachés dans des lieux secrets.
+
+**État : audit documenté, propositions à discuter.** Le
+[catalogue et schéma de relations](structures-audit.md) distinguent les trois
+petits ensembles actuels des futurs tracés entre destinations, proposent des
+voies de fret dégradées et des usages pour les bâtiments. Les outils vanilla
+servent d’idées de butin ; la caméra et les systèmes restent pour la bêta.
+Aucune structure, règle de butin, version binaire ou instance Prism modifiée.
+La sélection des lieux et la réalisation des axes feront l’objet du chantier
+suivant ; ce catalogue n’est pas une liste d’ajouts tous validés.
+
 ## Réserve de thèmes futurs

 Ces thèmes servent à retrouver la vision, pas à demander leur implémentation immédiate. On en extrait un ticket seulement lorsqu'il devient utile au prochain incrément jouable.

 # Climats, expansion et ressources

-Ce document fixe les décisions de conception pour la suite de Sanctuary.
-L’alpha.12 fournit un laboratoire avec registre persistant et commandes opérateur,
-suivant le [contrat de laboratoire](alpha12-laboratory.md). Le déblocage par
-recherches et contributions reste à implémenter. Le relevé de ressources décrit plus bas
-est un outil de développement séparé, exécuté dans le monde jetable des GameTests.
+Ce document distingue les outils de génération et la progression collective
+encore à construire. L’alpha.13 réunit l’île de départ et
+les commandes d’expansion dans le choix public **Sanctuary**. Le
+[guide alpha.13](alpha13-worldgen.md) décrit leur utilisation. Les versions
+alpha.12/12.1 et leur [laboratoire](alpha12-laboratory.md) restent historiques.
+Le déblocage par recherches, XP et contributions n’est pas encore implémenté.

-## Taille de l’île initiale — alpha.11
+## Taille initiale et extensions — alpha.13

-Deux choix de départ sont proposés : **Petit** et **Grand**, Grand par défaut.
-Petit garde un diamètre nominal de 512 blocs ; Grand vise environ 724 blocs,
-soit deux fois l’aire nominale de Petit. La hauteur reste de 384 blocs. Les
-repères internes 5/10 servent au calcul de surface, sans nom de capacité affiché
-ni promesse sur le nombre de joueurs, les minerais ou l’aire constructible.
+Le bouton natif **Personnaliser** propose **Petit** (512 blocs de diamètre
+nominal), **Moyen** (724, par défaut) et **Grand** (1 024). La hauteur reste de
+384 blocs. Ce choix configure un nouveau monde ; il ne promet ni nombre de
+joueurs, ni quantité de ressources, ni aire entièrement constructible.

-Cette taille se choisit pour un nouveau monde et ne remplace pas le futur
-déblocage collectif de continents. Grand utilise `population_10` ; les anciennes
-sauvegardes 5/20/100 conservent leurs réglages et leurs dimensions. Les formats
-20/100 sont cachés de la création. Les mesures de l’alpha.10 conservées plus bas
-restent historiques ; les contrôles alpha.11 sont dans [Validation](testing.md).
+L’île initiale reprend le relief, les forêts et l’hydrologie de Population,
+avec les poches de cavités natives issues du laboratoire. Les îles ajoutées
+conservent les tailles **64/128/256/512**, les douze profils climatiques et les
+quatre reliefs d’expansion. Leur génération ne reprend pas automatiquement
+la grande rivière et les terrasses de l’île initiale.
+
+Les commandes opérateur `quick`, `create`, `preview`, `list`, `visit` et
+`resume` reprennent le fonctionnement alpha.12.1. Le paramètre final de distance
+est facultatif ; les sites occupés sont écartés en cherchant plus loin dans la
+même direction. Même un chunk de vide déjà généré est protégé. Les recherches
+collectives et les objets de déblocage ne sont pas nécessaires à ces outils.
+
+La racine alpha.13 est de génération 13 ; les extensions restent de génération
+12, dans le journal `data/sanctuary-world-v13/expansions.json` du nouveau monde.
+Les anciens mondes gardent leurs codecs, leurs paramètres et leur journal.
+Les choix séparés Petit/Grand et Laboratoire sont désormais cachés à la
+création. Aucun monde existant n’est converti ou redimensionné.
+
+## Tailles et mesures historiques
+
+L’alpha.11 proposait Petit (512) et Grand (724), avec Grand par défaut ; ses
+repères internes 5/10 ne correspondaient pas à une capacité multijoueur promise.
+Les références `population_5/10/20/100` restent celles des sauvegardes historiques.
+Les mesures alpha.3 à alpha.11 conservées ci-dessous décrivent uniquement les
+versions et les emprises observées à leur date. Les contrôles de l’alpha.13,
+les rechargements et le benchmark Moyen sont consignés dans [Validation](testing.md).

+Audit de conception du 9 septembre 2026, après l’essai de l’alpha.17.

+**Propositions à discuter : aucune nouvelle génération ni règle de progression
+n’est implémentée par ce document.** Le pack reste en alpha.17.
+
+## Ce que produit actuellement le mod
+
+L’alpha.17 recherche au maximum trois petits ensembles, un par famille. Chaque
+ensemble rassemble trois à cinq pièces autour d’un accès de surface, avec des
+salles généralement de 9 × 9 blocs. Leur position est cherchée indépendamment.
+Les rails sont des tronçons intérieurs de la galerie minière. Les rues et ponts
+de Lost City desservent son quartier compact. Aucun itinéraire ne relie ces
+ensembles à l’échelle de l’île : le manque d’axes perçu en jeu correspond donc
+au fonctionnement actuel.
+
+Les ateliers possèdent des outils et équipements vanilla utilisables. Les
+coffres emploient les tables de maison des plaines et de cartographe ; le mod
+n’a pas encore de distribution de trésors conçue pour chaque lieu secret.
+La mailbox, les deposit boxes, la caméra, la machine d’expansion et les
+récompenses personnelles restent des systèmes futurs.

+
+## Faire comprendre les usages avant d’introduire leurs systèmes
+
+Chaque lieu devrait répondre à trois questions : pourquoi était-il construit
+ici, par où arrivaient ses occupants ou ses marchandises, et que peut en faire
+un joueur aujourd’hui ? Une plateforme de chargement, un vestiaire, des rayonnages
+et une sortie de service racontent davantage son usage qu’une pièce portant un nom.
+
+La chaîne proposée pour l’expansion est : **observer → préparer une expédition
+→ rassembler des ressources → ouvrir un continent → construire ses liaisons**.
+Les lieux rendent ces activités compréhensibles. Ils n’imposent pas encore une
+campagne, un coût ou un ordre obligatoire de déblocage.
+
+La poste rend lisible la différence entre recevoir personnellement un colis et
+contribuer à un stock collectif dans le dépôt. La salle d’expansion déjà présente
+peut devenir le point où ces efforts collectifs prennent sens. Une future
+mailbox ne doit pas être confondue avec un coffre ordinaire décoré en alpha.
+Ces bâtiments pourraient présenter les services en bêta sans obliger les joueurs
+à revenir au même guichet pour chaque action ; les règles d’usage restent ouvertes.
+
+## Catalogue proposé
+
+Les objets cités sont des **idées de butin**, pas des ajouts de cette livraison.
+Les variantes d’une même famille peuvent se remplacer selon la graine et le
+relief ; ce catalogue ne demande pas de tout placer sur chaque île.

+
+## Des axes à l’échelle de l’île
+
+Une **ancienne ligne de fret**, quelques embranchements et un chemin de service
+peuvent suffire à donner une organisation au territoire. Son tracé suit la pente,
+entre brièvement dans la roche et franchit les ravins avec des ouvrages ponctuels.
+La majorité de l’île reste naturelle. Une longue voie ne signifie pas une grande
+gare ni une grande ville supplémentaire.

+```
+
+Ce schéma décrit les relations proposées, pas un plan rigide à reproduire ni
+des liaisons toutes ferroviaires. Mine, atelier, gare et dépôt partagent la ligne
+de fret ; les autres raccords peuvent être des rues, sentiers, escaliers ou
+galeries. Les réseaux techniques et les lieux étranges gardent leurs itinéraires
+propres, avec seulement quelques intersections utiles.
+
+Pour une rupture crédible, il faut concevoir **le trajet complet entre deux
+destinations présentes**, puis son état d’abandon :
+
+- **Rails arrachés** : le ballast et les traverses montrent le chemin à réparer.
+- **Petit pont effondré** : les culées et une pile conservée indiquent la portée
+  manquante ; un détour permet de rejoindre l’autre côté.
+- **Tunnel éboulé** : les deux portails suivent le même axe ; une galerie de
+  maintenance donne un autre parcours lorsque le relief le permet.
+- **Travaux jamais terminés** : terrassement, échafaudage, matériaux et butoir
+  forment une fin intentionnelle. Un chantier peut réellement s’arrêter là.
+- **Voie envahie** : végétation et débris alternent avec des sections utilisables.
+
+Les coupures ne doivent pas reproduire l’aspect d’un raccord de chunks cassé.
+Les rails qui subsistent ont un support ; les tronçons réparables suivent des
+pentes et courbes praticables en wagonnet. Un souterrain conserve des appuis et
+un passage pour le joueur. Les raccords impossibles sont abandonnés proprement,
+sans publier une porte donnant dans la roche ni annoncer une gare inexistante.
+
+Une liaison vers un nouveau continent reste à construire après son ouverture.
+Le quai exprime la possibilité de partir ; il ne prédit pas un terrain encore
+absent, sa position exacte ou la route que choisiront les joueurs.
+
+## Récompenser la découverte d’un lieu secret
+
+Un secret devrait offrir **un objet principal cohérent avec son ancien usage** :
+longue-vue dans l’observatoire, boussole dans la cartothèque, horloge dans le poste
+d’aiguillage, outil dans l’atelier. Quelques fournitures accompagnent cet objet.
+Le plaisir vient de trouver un équipement utile tôt et de comprendre son origine ;
+un objet vanilla fabriquable ne devient pas artificiellement une relique unique.
+
+L’accès se lit dans le décor : fenêtre donnant sur une pièce sans porte visible,
+escalier derrière une étagère déplacée, trappe de maintenance, conduit débouchant
+sur un établi éclairé. La pièce peut être cachée sans exiger de casser tous les
+murs au hasard. Des variations portent sur le plan, l’accès et l’usage, pas
+seulement sur la couleur d’une salle identique.
+
+Le bâti est lui-même une récompense récupérable. Les rails, équipements d’atelier,
+blocs de fer et autres matériaux du décor doivent compter dans l’inventaire
+des ressources réellement générées ; une infrastructure trop généreuse pourrait
+remplacer tout le minage du début de partie. Cela se mesure après génération.
+
+Pour un premier essai de butin en alpha, les coffres pourraient rester des
+conteneurs vanilla partagés, sans renouvellement automatique. La coexistence
+des **reliques collectives uniques** et des **récompenses personnelles** nécessite
+le contrat de bêta. L’accès à la mailbox ou à l’expansion ne devrait pas dépendre
+d’un objet ordinaire que le premier explorateur peut emporter et perdre.
+
+## Ordre de travail proposé
+
+1. Relier une destination existante et une nouvelle destination avec un axe
+   visible à l’échelle de l’île : atelier/mines, gare et dépôt. Vérifier les
+   trajets, les supports et quelques ruptures réparables en jeu.
+2. Donner à la ville une poste et une cartothèque ; placer un observatoire dans
+   le relief, avec des accès logiques et un premier atelier secret.
+3. Raccorder ponctuellement les galeries techniques aux égouts, piscines et
+   salles étranges existantes. Garder des secteurs indépendants et des accès
+   secondaires plutôt que transformer tous les sous-sols en un unique donjon.
+4. Définir puis essayer les petites tables de butin par usage avant d’introduire
+   les objets et règles de la bêta.
+
+Avant d’écrire ce générateur, valider la place de la ligne de fret, les premiers
+lieux retenus et le rôle des ruptures : réparations libres, détours ou chantiers
+à prolonger. Les essais doivent distinguer un axe planifié, ses tronçons réellement
+générés, ceux qui sont praticables et ceux qui sont volontairement interrompus.
+La recherche des raccords doit rester bornée, sans explorer ou charger toute
+l’île pour chercher un passage. Les mondes publiés gardent leur génération ;
+aucune transformation d’une sauvegarde existante n’est autorisée par cet audit.

+# Alpha.14 — Lost City et expansions
+
+**État : alpha.14 vérifiée, publiée et installée dans la même instance Prism Mac.**
+`check build assemblePack` passe sur les sources finales avec les **8 GameTests
+requis**, le 9 septembre 2026 à **13 h 57 min 48 s**. La création de quartiers,
+leur réouverture et la reprise différée du vide passent également dans leurs
+mondes de développement distincts. Le JAR, le MRpack et le ZIP Prism sont
+vérifiés. La release immuable correspond au commit source `1c5c2c2`, le canal
+packwiz au commit `dabf57e`. Deux synchronisations isolées puis deux dans la même
+instance Prism passent, avec **713 fichiers personnels et réglages suivis
+conservés**. Le [reçu de livraison](packwiz.md#alpha14-publiée--9-septembre-2026)
+consigne les artefacts, leur empreinte et la sauvegarde ciblée.
+Les résultats des alpha.12, 13 et 13.1 restent historiques. Ticket [WG-17](backlog.md).
+
+Les smokes des sources finales passent sous Gradle et Java 25 :
+`LostCityRendererSmoke` pour les 17 types, dont confinement
+et accès des piscines dans quatre orientations, parcs distincts et sous-sols ;
+`ExpansionJournalSmoke`, dont l’immuabilité du jeton de reprise du vide ; et
+le contrôle de placement spatial de génération 14. `LostCityPlannerSmoke`
+passe également. Ses
+32 graines sur terrain contrôlé couvrent tous les types de lots ; un témoin
+distinct de faille couvre le pont, soit les 17 types. Le test de pente ascendante
+et descendante protège la sélection des lots contre le rejet asymétrique des
+terrains montants. Sur l’ancien planificateur compilé, ce nouveau test échouait
+avec **0 contre 9 lots** ; le planificateur corrigé satisfait l’égalité des
+deux sens et le minimum de cinq lots demandé par le test. Cette comparaison
+provient de la sortie d’exécution ; aucun journal séparé n’a été conservé.
+
+`:sanctuary:expansionVoidCertificateSmoke` passe aussi sous Gradle :
+champs NBT natifs obligatoires, types stricts, refus des contenus, preuves de
+chunks absents et stabilité du certificat face aux seuls compteurs volatils.
+Ces contrôles unitaires sont complétés par les essais moteur consignés plus
+bas.
+
+## Périmètre et création d’un monde
+
+Minecraft **26.3-pre-2**, Fabric et Java **25**, selon les versions épinglées dans
+`gradle.properties`. La livraison cible `0.1.0-alpha.14` pour le mod et le pack.
+
+Créer un **nouveau monde**, type **Sanctuary**, puis le bouton natif
+**Personnaliser** : Petit 512, Moyen 724 par défaut ou Grand 1 024 blocs de
+diamètre nominal. La hauteur reste de 384 blocs. Le codec public est
+`sanctuary:island_v14` ; les racines et les extensions de ces mondes portent la
+génération **14**. Le journal est séparé :
+`data/sanctuary-world-v14/expansions.json`, schéma 1.
+
+Les mondes de générations 12 et 13 conservent leurs codecs, paramètres et
+journaux. Ils ne reçoivent pas Lost City par conversion et ne changent pas de
+générateur au chargement. Aucune sauvegarde personnelle ne doit être utilisée
+pour les essais ci-dessous.
+
+## Lost City
+
+Les quartiers sont composés par du code Sanctuary original. Une poche urbaine
+peut être retenue sur l’île initiale ; les extensions de profil `lost_city`
+recherchent également des emplacements. Le biome suit les parcelles acceptées
+en surface et laisse les biomes de cavités profonds. Une île peut ne fournir
+aucun site convenable : la ville et ses différents types ne sont pas garantis.
+
+| Type | Aménagement distinctif |
+| --- | --- |
+| Rue | Chaussée, bordures de pierre lisse et variations de hauteur accessibles |
+| Pont | Tablier et garde-corps au-dessus d’une courte faille, appuis naturels aux deux extrémités |
+| Parc boisé | Chemins croisés, arbres et bancs |
+| Jardin | Haies basses, parterres fleuris et allées |
+| Aire de jeux | Sable, portique de balançoire, plate-forme et petit toboggan |
+| Parc mémorial | Cour, monument de pierre et bancs |
+| Place | Pavage et fontaine sèche |
+| Marché | Étals, auvents sobres et réserves |
+| Parking | Places marquées, poteaux, garage souterrain si la roche le permet, sinon en surface |
+| Excavation | Fouille ouverte, fondations inachevées, barrières et escalier |
+| Piscine abandonnée | Bassin de trois couches d’eau, marches immergées et plage minérale |
+| Immeuble d’appartements | Étages, chambres, coin cuisine et escaliers |
+| Hôtel | Réception, couloir central et chambres séparées |
+| Bibliothèque | Rayonnages, tables de lecture et pupitre |
+| Restaurant | Cuisine équipée et tables, espace de service à l’étage |
+| Caserne | Dortoirs et réserves |
+| Hall | Grande salle, estrade, rangées de sièges et balcon |
+
+Pierre, pierre lisse et briques de pierre dominent ; briques fissurées ou
+moussues, andésite, vitres, détails de fer et intérieurs en chêne noir complètent
+la palette. L’usure est déterministe. Les accès et les escaliers restent
+distincts des brèches de façade et de toiture. Le butin des coffres utilise des
+tables vanilla différées ; aucune génération de spawner ou de villageois.
+
+Le spawn naturel de monstres du biome et des pièces de structure est limité aux
+zombies vanilla. Lumière, difficulté, limites de population et distance aux
+joueurs continuent de s’appliquer ; une ruine n’implique pas la présence immédiate
+d’un groupe de zombies. Les classes de zombies spécifiques restent pour la bêta.
+
+Le placement vérifie la roche sous toute l’emprise. Un sous-sol, une piscine ou
+une excavation exige une continuité jusqu’à huit blocs sous le plancher de
+référence. À défaut, le parking reste en surface et piscine ou excavation se
+replient en parc. Les piscines gardent un fond et des parois continus ; les
+ponts ne construisent pas de piliers jusqu’au vide. Les volumes protégés de
+l’hydrologie et les sites insuffisamment supportés sont écartés.
+
+## Commandes d’essai et placement des expansions
+
+Les commandes restent des outils opérateur, accessibles avec les permissions
+adéquates. Elles n’utilisent pas encore la progression ou les ressources.
+
+```text
+/sanctuary expansion quick east lost_city 256 natural
+/sanctuary expansion list
+/sanctuary expansion visit island_1
+/sanctuary expansion preview quartier sanctuary northeast lost_city 128 natural
+/sanctuary expansion create quartier sanctuary northeast lost_city 128 natural
+/locate structure sanctuary:lost_city
+```
+
+`island_1` est l’exemple du premier identifiant libre créé par `quick` ; utiliser
+l’identifiant réellement indiqué par la commande. `visit` attend une île prête.
+`preview` examine un emplacement sans l’activer. `resume <id>` sert à reprendre
+une réservation interrompue. `create` choisit aussi son parent explicitement.
+La recherche exacte `/locate structure sanctuary:lost_city` retrouve les
+quartiers Sanctuary admissibles ; elle peut échouer si aucun quartier ne se
+trouve dans sa portée de recherche. Un profil `lost_city` ne garantit pas un
+terrain suffisamment adapté pour accepter un quartier.
+
+Les diamètres d’expansion possibles dans les mondes 14 sont **64, 128, 256,
+512 et 1 024**. Avec `quick east` ou `quick east lost_city`, le diamètre est tiré
+de manière reproductible à partir de la graine et de l’identifiant :
+
+| Diamètre | Poids du tirage |
+| --- | --- |
+| 64 | 40 % |
+| 128 | 30 % |
+| 256 | 18 % |
+| 512 | 9 % |
+| 1 024 | 3 % |
+
+Ces poids décrivent la distribution du tirage, pas un quota de cinq îles à
+reproduire sur chaque serveur. Une taille explicite remplace le tirage. Les
+recherches d’emplacement ne changent ni cette taille ni la graine retenue.
+Les mondes historiques gardent leurs tailles et comportements antérieurs.
+
+La direction choisit un secteur de 45° autour du parent. La recherche essaie
+d’abord des positions proches, puis des couronnes plus éloignées, avec un
+nombre borné de candidats. Les centres restent alignés sur les chunks.
+Les emprises circulaires incluent le terrain, la marge de décoration et une
+garde empêchant deux îles de posséder le même chunk de coin. Le voisinage lu
+par les étapes de génération n’est pas intégralement réservé comme terrain.
+Une distance minimale entre centres reste possible comme dernier argument.
+
+## Contrat de reprise différée du vide
+
+Ce mécanisme concerne **uniquement les nouveaux mondes de génération 14** et
+une expansion explicitement demandée. Les générations 12/13 gardent leur refus
+des chunks déjà générés, même vides. Il ne permet pas la régénération générale
+d’une île, d’un terrain occupé ou d’une construction.
+
+1. Examiner toute l’emprise d’écriture et produire, pour chaque chunk existant,
+   une preuve stricte qu’il est FULL, entièrement vide et vierge. Les positions
+   encore absentes sont également certifiées, y compris leurs stockages
+   d’entités et de POI. La simple absence de bloc visible ne suffit pas : entités
+   persistées, chargées ou en attente, POI, ticks, événements de blocs et autres
+   indices de contenu font partie des refus.
+2. Lier le certificat à l’identité exacte de l’expansion et à un jeton immuable
+   dans le journal. Une preuve isolée sans réservation correspondante ne donne
+   aucune autorisation ; un changement de paramètres ou une preuve manquante
+   doit faire échouer la reprise.
+3. Enregistrer la réservation et demander de **fermer puis rouvrir le monde**.
+   L’expansion reste différée pendant la session ayant établi la preuve.
+4. Au chargement suivant, vérifier le journal, le certificat et les données
+   actuelles sur toute l’emprise avant toute préparation. Une divergence bloque
+   la reprise avant l’écriture des positions absentes. Seuls les chunks
+   explicitement certifiés peuvent être réutilisés par cette expansion.
+
+La preuve lit le format natif exact de Minecraft 26.3-pre-2 : l’état d’air sans
+propriétés s’écrit comme la chaîne `minecraft:air` dans la palette ; sa forme
+composée autorisée utilise le champ `id`. L’ancien champ `Name` ne suffit pas
+à certifier un chunk. Les types NBT, sections, palettes, heightmaps et données
+annexes restent contrôlés strictement ; une métadonnée inconnue provoque un
+refus. Seuls les compteurs temporels et caches de lumière valides sont exclus
+de l’empreinte sémantique du vide.
+
+Il ne faut supprimer ni certificat, ni journal, ni dossier de région pour
+débloquer une commande. L’absence de preuve est un refus, pas une invitation à
+reconstruire l’historique. Les sauvegardes personnelles ne sont pas ouvertes
+par les tests ou par la mise à jour packwiz.
+
+## Protocole et preuves attendues
+
+Un seul processus Gradle ou Minecraft de développement à la fois. Les suites
+de création repartent de mondes ignorés sous `mods/sanctuary/build/run/`.
+Un scénario de réouverture doit suivre sa création sans intercaler un test qui
+effacerait ce monde de développement.
+
+```sh
+./gradlew :sanctuary:lostCityPlannerSmoke :sanctuary:lostCityRendererSmoke --console=plain
+./gradlew check build assemblePack -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryLostCityTests=true -PsanctuaryTestDiameter=724 -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryLostCityTests=true -PsanctuaryExpansionReload=true -PsanctuaryTestDiameter=724 -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+```
+
+La suite de reprise du vide repart ensuite d’un **autre monde de développement
+neuf**. La commande de réouverture est exécutée deux fois de suite :
+
+```sh
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryVoidReuseTests=true -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryVoidReuseTests=true -PsanctuaryExpansionReload=true -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryVoidReuseTests=true -PsanctuaryExpansionReload=true -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+```
+
+### Résultats moteur — graine 0
+
+Le 9 septembre 2026, la création sur les sources finales passe à **13 h 55 min
+15 s** dans le processus **19155** (`build/alpha14-city-final-create.log`,
+deux tests requis réussis, commande terminée en **2 min 24 s**). La réouverture
+du même monde de développement passe à **13 h 55 min 58 s** dans un second
+processus, **19372** (`build/alpha14-city-final-reload.log`, deux tests requis
+réussis, **33 s**).
+Ces durées sont celles des commandes Gradle complètes, pas des mesures de
+chargement en jeu ou de performance multijoueur.
+
+Les rapports locaux ignorés sont
+`mods/sanctuary/build/run/gameTest/diagnostics/lost-city-alpha14-seed-0.json`
+et `lost-city-alpha14-reload-seed-0.json` dans le même dossier. Leurs copies
+sont conservées dans `build/alpha14-evidence/` avant le nettoyage du monde de
+développement. Le monde racine est de diamètre **724**, graine **0**, codec
+`sanctuary:island_v14`.
+
+Trois extensions de diamètre 256 ont été examinées en lecture seule :
+
+| Candidat | Graine de l’extension | Quartiers admissibles |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `city_test` | `7890860792428309400` | 0 |
+| `city_harbor` | `-1594320136210322067` | 0 |
+| `city_gardens` | `6666275329838981856` | 1 |
+
+Seule `city_gardens` a ensuite été activée, à l’est, centre **(2032, 624)**.
+Sa préparation a terminé **418 chunks FULL**. L’inspection urbaine ci-dessous
+couvre les chunks des quartiers, pas la totalité de cette préparation.
+
+| Site généré | Parcelles sauvegardées | Chunks FULL inspectés | Coffres non ouverts à butin différé |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Île initiale | 26 : appartement, hôtel, bibliothèque, marché, parc boisé, mémorial et 20 rues | 26 | 4 |
+| `city_gardens` | 12 : appartement, parc boisé et 10 rues | 13 | 1 |
+
+Les deux quartiers possèdent leurs références de structure natives ; la
+recherche native retrouve respectivement **(-49, 253, 13)** et **(2012, 229,
+621)**. Les intérieurs traversables et les tables de spawn limitées aux zombies
+sont contrôlés. Cela ne garantit pas des zombies visibles de jour. La
+couverture des **17 types dans quatre orientations** provient de 68 rendus
+témoins indépendants ; elle ne signifie pas que cette graine contient tous les
+types dans ses quartiers naturels.
+
+L’inspection native des bâtiments contrôle également qu’aucun minerai ne
+remplace la maçonnerie dans leurs volumes à partir du plancher. Cette preuve
+concerne les bâtiments effectivement générés et inspectés ; les minerais du
+terrain sous les fondations restent possibles.
+
+Une piscine native isolée, indépendante du tirage des quartiers, conserve
+**189 cellules d’eau**, ses marches et son confinement après l’exécution d’un
+tick d’eau. La réouverture conserve les mêmes 189 cellules et les marches ;
+elle n’exécute pas un second tick témoin.
+
+Dans le second processus, les **38 pièces natives**, les **5 coffres non
+ouverts**, le bloc d’or témoin à **(-61, 250, 11)** et le journal sont conservés.
+L’empreinte du journal contrôlé est
+`38e4bc1b2e493628d1e5d1775250c0bc48821bf49d025df3c37159fcff5801ba`.
+Ces essais utilisent uniquement un monde de développement ignoré, sans ouvrir
+de sauvegarde personnelle.
+
+### Reprise du vide — création et deux réouvertures
+
+Les trois exécutions Minecraft, sur la graine **0**, génération **14**, passent
+le 9 septembre 2026 :
+
+| Étape | Journal local | Résultat et durée de la commande |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Preuves et réservations | `build/alpha14-void-create.log` | Deux tests requis réussis à 13 h 43 ; 41 s |
+| Première réouverture | `build/alpha14-void-reload.log` | Deux tests requis réussis à 13 h 45 ; 1 min |
+| Deuxième réouverture | `build/alpha14-void-second-reload.log` | Deux tests requis réussis à 13 h 46 ; 29 s |
+
+Les rapports sont `void-reuse-before-reload.json`,
+`void-reuse-after-reload.json` et `void-reuse-second-reload.json`, sous
+`mods/sanctuary/build/run/gameTest/world/`. Ce sont des preuves locales à
+conserver avant le nettoyage du monde de développement.
+
+La première expansion, `void_loaded`, couvre **77 chunks FULL vides déjà
+chargés**. La seconde, `void_saved`, couvre **un chunk FULL vide uniquement
+stocké et 76 positions absentes**. Ce dernier scénario emploie une copie NBT
+native de chunk vide, déplacée uniquement pour constituer le témoin dans ce
+monde jetable. Chaque réservation reçoit son jeton durable propre et reste
+différée, sans publication dans le générateur pendant la session initiale.
+
+Quatre témoins indépendants, chacun contrôlé vide avant modification, prouvent
+le refus d’un **bloc**, d’un **coffre avec son entité de bloc**, d’une **entité
+vivante enregistrée** et d’un **tick de bloc programmé**. Une métadonnée NBT
+étrangère ajoutée après certification fait également échouer la vérification
+globale : l’empreinte SHA-256 du fichier de région et le contenu NBT modifié
+restent identiques après ce refus. Le test restaure ensuite son témoin vide
+pour poursuivre le scénario positif.
+
+À la première réouverture, les deux expansions atteignent **154 chunks FULL**,
+chacun conservant le marqueur de son jeton exact, avec **128 sections non
+vides**. Un bloc d’or témoin est alors posé à **(6080, 376, 1264)**. À la
+deuxième réouverture, il est préservé : les **154 chunks FULL marqués** et
+**129 sections non vides** sont retrouvés. Ce passage contrôle donc aussi
+qu’une reprise terminée ne réinitialise pas les blocs ajoutés ensuite.
+
+Une réouverture supplémentaire passe à **13 h 48**, avec deux tests requis
+réussis en **37 s** (`build/alpha14-void-final-reload.log`). Elle contrôle
+explicitement la lumière native terminée (`isLightCorrect`) sur les **154
+chunks** et **32 échantillons de biomes hors `the_void`** à l’intérieur des
+extensions. Le bloc d’or et les 129 sections non vides sont toujours conservés.
+Ce dernier rapport est copié hors du monde de test dans
+`build/alpha14-evidence/void-reuse-second-reload.json` pour survivre à son
+nettoyage. Les 32 échantillons ne constituent pas un relevé exhaustif de tous
+les biomes des extensions.
+
+### Vérification finale du build et des artefacts
+
+`./gradlew check build assemblePack` passe en **1 min 34 s** : **40 tâches**, dont
+33 exécutées et 7 à jour. Le journal est `build/alpha14-check-build-pack.log`.
+Les huit tests moteur requis réussissent ; le témoin hydrologique de graine 0
+contrôle **125 chunks FULL**, **5 923 blocs d’eau conservés** et **1 800 ticks de
+fluides**. La même suite vérifie la sérialisation des tailles **512 / 724 /
+1 024**, le défaut Moyen et le codec historique de génération **13**.
+
+Le smoke du journal valide aussi la politique de synchronisation de dossier
+Windows par simulation, ainsi que les échecs de stockage après remplacement.
+Ce résultat ne constitue pas une exécution native sous Windows.
+
+`build/verify-alpha14-artifacts.py` valide les versions alignées, l’index packwiz,
+le JAR de production sans classes de test, son inclusion dans le MRpack et le
+ZIP d’amorçage Prism. Le SHA-256 du JAR `sanctuary-0.1.0-alpha.14.jar` est :

+```text
+1c517a13e1151501c6f4974d1bc00faedf67aaecd9bf58f34ac4a655d09dc6ef
+```
+
+Ces vérifications portent sur les artefacts locaux. La publication du canal,
+les installations packwiz isolées et la synchronisation de l’instance Prism
+restent à consigner.

+# Alpha.15 — intérieurs, sous-sols et ville compacte
+
+**État : code, génération et distribution validés.**
+Ticket [WG-18](backlog.md). `check build assemblePack` et les huit tests moteur
+passent sur les sources finales, ainsi que la création et la réouverture
+natives de Lost City. Le reçu de publication figure dans [Distribution](packwiz.md).
+
+## Contrat de génération
+
+Minecraft **26.3-pre-2**, Java **25**, dépendances épinglées inchangées.
+Le mod et le pack passent à `0.1.0-alpha.15`. Un **nouveau monde Sanctuary**
+utilise `sanctuary:island_v15` et son journal propre
+`data/sanctuary-world-v15/expansions.json`.
+Le bouton natif **Personnaliser** conserve Petit 512, Moyen 724 par défaut et
+Grand 1 024. La densité du terrain, les forêts et l’hydrologie naturelle ne sont
+pas remplacées par cette passe urbaine.
+
+Le JAR d’essai anticipé du 9 septembre, avant publication de l’alpha.15,
+contenait encore les fragments dispersés. Les essais de cette nouvelle
+composition se font dans un **monde neuf** ; aucune réparation ou régénération
+des mondes créés avec ce prototype n’est exécutée. Le binaire d’essai est
+conservé séparément avant synchronisation de l’instance.
+
+Les mondes 12/13/14 conservent leurs codecs, paramètres, journaux, plans et
+rendus, même pour leurs chunks encore non générés. Le preset 14 reste enregistré
+mais caché dans la création. Aucun monde personnel n’est ouvert, converti ou
+régénéré. Les nouvelles pièces persistantes ont leurs propres identifiants :
+`sanctuary:lost_city_parcel_v15`, `sanctuary:lost_city_underground_v15` et
+`sanctuary:lost_city_support_v15`.
+
+Le biome `sanctuary:lost_city` reste utilisé : les parcelles acceptées pilotent
+la carte des biomes urbains et les apparitions naturelles de zombies vanilla.
+Les cavités gardent leurs biomes ; un égout souterrain ne transforme pas toute
+la colonne en biome urbain. Il n’y a ni villageois générés, ni spawner, ni
+classes de zombies de la future bêta.
+
+## Aménagements
+
+Les appartements, hôtels, bibliothèques, restaurants, casernes et halls ont
+des usages distincts. Seuil et vestibule rejoignent un couloir, une cage
+d’escalier et des pièces séparées par de vraies portes. Sols, plafonds,
+chambres, salles d’eau, cuisines, réserves, réception, rayonnages, dortoirs,
+auditorium et galerie suivent le type du bâtiment. Les détails d’usure doivent
+préserver les passages. Le butin reste différé, avec un coffre par bâtiment.
+
+Les réseaux souterrains cherchent une descente depuis la surface, des égouts,
+des passages, des garages et des pool rooms. La roche et les volumes d’eau
+naturelle décident de leur admission. Les parties exposées demandent des
+appuis courts certifiés : pylônes ou chaînes réellement ancrés. Les bassins
+construits ont un fond, des parois et un accès ; ils ne doivent pas se vider
+dans les corridors. Les modules voisins ne se superposent pas. Une grande salle sèche accessible
+prépare une future machine d’expansion ; la machine et ses cartes ne font pas
+partie de cette livraison.
+
+Le retour de l’essai anticipé remplace les fragments dispersés par une grille
+compacte : lots, rues et carrefours sont jointifs, avec un réseau accessible
+depuis chaque entrée. Les routes sont dégagées sur huit blocs de hauteur ;
+les terrasses sont certifiées dans leur emprise et les ponts prolongent le
+réseau. Les sièges, charnières et appuis des lanternes sont revus. Les emplacements admissibles
+restent conditionnels ; aucun équipement n’est promis sur toute graine.
+
+## Vérification reproductible
+
+Utiliser seulement les mondes de développement ignorés. Exécuter les processus
+Minecraft séquentiellement et faire suivre chaque création de sa réouverture,
+avant un autre test qui nettoie ce dossier de développement.
+
+```sh
+./gradlew :sanctuary:lostCityInteriors15Smoke :sanctuary:lostCityUnderground15Smoke --console=plain
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryLostCity15Tests=true -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryLostCity15Tests=true -PsanctuaryExpansionReload=true -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+./gradlew check build assemblePack -PsanctuaryTestSeed=0 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false --console=plain
+```
+
+La suite historique `-PsanctuaryLostCityTests=true` choisit explicitement la
+génération 14. Les suites de reprise certifiée du vide utilisent la génération
+15 par défaut ; la réouverture doit être exécutée deux fois après leur création.
+Les certificats sont liés à leur génération : un certificat ou journal 14 ne
+peut pas autoriser une expansion 15. Le [contrat WG-17](testing-alpha14.md)
+reste applicable dans chaque journal, avec inspection stricte avant écriture.
+
+Les résultats finaux préciseront graine, version, coordonnées, pièces natives,
+eau après ticks, conservation après réouverture et durée des commandes.
+
+### Compatibilité historique déjà vérifiée
+
+La création de génération 14 avec le binaire alpha.15 passe le 9 septembre
+2026 (`build/alpha15-legacy14-create.log`, processus 22663, 2 min 57 s).
+Sur graine 0, racine 724 et extension `city_gardens` 256, les deux starts NBT,
+les inventaires de blocs, les coffres différés et le journal ont exactement les
+mêmes empreintes ou contenus que la livraison alpha.14. La réouverture du même
+binaire dans le processus 23083 passe (`build/alpha15-legacy14-reload.log`, 57 s),
+avec **38 pièces**, **5 coffres non ouverts**, le bloc témoin et le journal
+conservés. Cette réouverture exclut la recompilation : elle vérifie les mêmes
+binaires que la création, pendant le développement séparé du nouveau planner15.
+Les classes historiques de planification et de rendu ne sont pas modifiées.
+Les rapports sont conservés dans `build/alpha15-evidence/legacy14-*.json`.
+
+Le premier test moteur15 a vérifié les accès des bâtiments et réseaux, puis a
+échoué sur une hypothèse insuffisante de son ordonnanceur de fluides. Le test
+attend maintenant que les chunks et leurs entités soient prêts, observe un
+écoulement natif dans des témoins temporaires fermés, puis contrôle les bassins
+naturels après des ticks mesurés. Ces témoins sont séparés des équipements
+naturellement générés et supprimés avant sauvegarde.
+Les essais sur modèles contrôlés seront distingués des équipements effectivement
+générés sur terrain naturel. La validation Windows native reste à effectuer.
+
+### Contrôles ciblés du retour d’essai anticipé
+
+Les smokes exécutés le 9 septembre passent avec les classes Minecraft exactes :
+les six familles d’intérieurs dans quatre orientations contrôlent la collision
+des portes ouvertes, le côté des dossiers des sièges et l’appui plein des
+lanternes (`build/alpha15-targeted-furnishings.log`). Le rendu de surface15
+corrige aussi les bancs et ajoute les marches sur le sol existant, leur sommet
+rejoignant le niveau voisin. Dégagement des rues, volumes de protection,
+grande salle, boucle alternative et fondations souterraines passent dans
+`build/alpha15-targeted-utilities.log`. Ces essais contrôlés ne remplacent pas
+le scénario natif final.
+
+Le scénario de reprise certifiée du vide de génération15 passe sa création et
+ses deux réouvertures dans des JVM séparées : **154 chunks FULL**, tous éclairés
+correctement, et bloc témoin conservé. Les refus de bloc, coffre, entité ou tick
+présents et la conservation des régions face à une mutation étrangère passent.
+Rapports : `build/alpha15-evidence/void-reuse-*.json`. Ces preuves précèdent la
+révision compacte du seul placement urbain ; le test complet final reste exigé.
+
+### Ville compacte : création finale vérifiée
+
+La création finale passe sur la graine **0**, île **724**, le 9 septembre
+2026 : `build/alpha15-final-city-create.log`, processus **26229**, **3 min 19 s**
+pour les quatre smokes puis le scénario moteur. Cette durée inclut les contrôles,
+les prospects et la préparation d’un continent ; ce n’est pas un benchmark de
+chargement joueur ou de rendu.
+
+- Racine : un quartier natif au chunk **(-2, 3)**, cinq lots (immeuble, hôtel,
+  bibliothèque, jardin et place), **33 pièces de rues/carrefours**, **52 pièces
+  natives** avec le sous-sol. Les cinq entrées rejoignent le même réseau ;
+  **393 sections** de rues sont traversées sur les seules rues et seuils.
+  L’immeuble est accessible en **(-30, 252, 21)** sur cette graine.
+- Sous la racine : un accès, quatre collecteurs, sept passages, une pool room
+  et une grande salle sèche. Le socle et les quatre secteurs de la salle sont
+  accessibles depuis la trappe de surface.
+- Continent témoin **256**, graine **8737523517608206795**, centre **(2112, 320)** :
+  restaurant et immeuble, réseau de rues, pont de 17 blocs, garage et pool room
+  souterrains. **24 pièces natives** et **5 appuis souterrains** inspectés.
+  Le pont est parcouru de **(2104, 225, 309)** à **(2120, 224, 309)**.
+- Les biomes urbains et le spawn naturel de zombies sont vérifiés ; aucun
+  spawner ni villageois ajouté. Cinq coffres restent à butin différé.
+- Les bassins souterrains sont contrôlés après **120 ticks de monde mesurés** ;
+  19 témoins temporaires indépendants prouvent l’exécution native des fluides,
+  puis sont retirés avant sauvegarde. La piscine de surface est vérifiée dans
+  le premier monde compact, avant la dernière affectation des lots : ses
+  **207 sources** sont conservées, et neuf cellules au-dessus des marches se
+  remplissent normalement sans fuite (216 cellules d’eau au total).
+
+Le témoin final contient un pont court et des appuis souterrains. Les grands
+viaducs sur piles construites restent validés sur terrains contrôlés ; ils ne
+sont pas présentés comme observés dans ce monde naturel. Aucune famille de
+bâtiments, piscine, garage, salle ou pont n’est garantie sur chaque graine.
+Rapport : `build/alpha15-evidence/final-city-create.json` ; le monde compact
+précédent est conservé dans `compact-first-create.json`.
+
+La réouverture finale du même monde passe dans un autre processus (**26452**,
+`build/alpha15-final-city-reload.log`, **51 s**) : **76 pièces natives**, **5 coffres
+à butin différé**, **108 points de parcours intérieurs** et **5 appuis** conservés.
+Les sept entrées restent reliées aux rues, le bloc témoin **(-38, 252, 21)** est
+présent et le journal garde exactement ses octets. Rapport :
+`build/alpha15-evidence/final-city-reload.json`.
+
+`check build assemblePack` final passe en **2 min 6 s** le 9 septembre 2026,
+avec les **huit tests moteur requis** et tous les smokes, dont les quatre
+contrôles15 (`build/alpha15-final-check-build-pack.log`). Le JAR et le pack
+sont construits depuis les mêmes sources que le scénario final. Le changement
+reste réservé à15 ; la revue finale ne trouve aucune modification des quatre
+classes de planification/rendu/pièce historiques14.
+
+La release immuable `v0.1.0-alpha.15`, source `dd9c795`, et le canal `6cf54ee`
+sont publiés. JAR, MRpack et amorçage sont vérifiés ; deux installations isolées
+et deux synchronisations de la même instance Prism réussissent. Les **767**
+fichiers personnels et réglages suivis restent identiques. L’ancien JAR d’essai
+est conservé séparément ; un seul JAR Sanctuary est actif. Voir le

+# Alpha.16 — Sanctuary habitée avant nous
+
+**État : publiée et installée dans la même instance Prism.** Ticket WG-19,
+branche `codex/sanctuary-ruins-alpha16`. Minecraft 26.3-pre-2, Fabric Loader 0.19.5,
+Fabric API 0.160.0+26.3 et Java 25, comme l’alpha.15.
+
+## Contrat de génération
+
+La génération 16 demande un **nouveau monde Sanctuary**. Le choix public reste
+unique, avec le bouton natif Personnaliser : Petit 512, Moyen 724 par défaut,
+Grand 1024. Les codecs `island_v13`, `island_v14`, `island_v15`, leurs pièces
+natives, journaux, biomes et calculs de chunks futurs sont conservés. Aucun
+monde personnel n’est converti, ouvert par les tests ou régénéré.
+
+Lorsque les structures sont activées, l’île de départ reçoit une ville
+compacte. Une recherche naturelle est suivie, si nécessaire, d’une réservation
+architecturale locale 49 × 49 : rues et bâtiments reliés au-dessus d’un socle
+creux, avec appuis de maçonnerie certifiés. Cette réservation peut dégager le
+terrain et remplacer l’eau dans sa seule emprise, avant le placement des pièces.
+Elle ne modifie pas la densité de toute l’île et ne s’applique pas aux continents.
+Les expansions conservent leur profil et leur placement soumis au terrain.
+
+La passe souterraine comprend une piscine couverte avec bassin de 50 × 25
+blocs et quatre blocs de profondeur, des égouts ouverts et des parkings de
+3, 4, 6 ou 8 plateformes selon les appuis disponibles. Une grande salle sèche
+peut compléter le réseau. Chaque équipement dépend des volumes et appuis
+certifiés sur le terrain ; le tableau
+ci-dessous distingue les témoins natifs des cas de modèle. Les anciens petits
+bassins de la génération 15 restent inchangés.
+
+Les plans des étages alternent réellement. Les sanitaires ont des parois
+complètes, leur porte et leur plafond ; les lits sont adossés aux murs avec
+une rive latérale accessible. Portes, sièges et lanternes conservent leurs
+contrôles d’orientation et d’appui.
+
+## Vérifications
+
+- Les cinq smokes 16 passent : intérieurs, planification, fondation, protection
+  et sous-sols. Ils vérifient notamment les quatre orientations, les plans
+  d’étages, les sanitaires, les lits et les appuis.
+- Matrice de planification moteur : les trois tailles 512/724/1024 × graines 0/1
+  passent. Une ville de 3 à 8 lots, avec rues et entrées reliées dans les six cas.
+  Ces six reliefs trouvent une implantation naturelle ; le recours architectural
+  est couvert séparément par les terrains adverses, le rendu borné et le NBT
+  des smokes. Rapport : `build/alpha16-evidence/planning-matrix.json`.
+- Création native 16, graine 0, taille Moyenne, puis réouverture dans une seconde
+  JVM : **71 pièces, 5 coffres différés, 107 cibles de parcours et 74 appuis**
+  conservés entre l’île et une expansion de 256 blocs. Les hashes des starts,
+  le journal et le bloc d’or témoin restent identiques. Processus 29685 puis 29853.
+  Rapports : `build/alpha16-evidence/final-city-create.json` et
+  `final-city-reload.json` ; logs `build/alpha16-third-city-create.log` et
+  `alpha16-city-reload.log`.
+- Après **120 ticks du monde réellement observés**, la piscine garde ses
+  **4 976 cellules d’eau** ; les deux égouts observés déversent de l’eau au-delà
+  de leur bouche. Dix-neuf témoins temporaires indépendants prouvent l’activité
+  effective du moteur des fluides, puis sont supprimés avant sauvegarde. Les
+  cascades atteignent des corniches : elles ne sont pas toutes libres jusqu’au
+  vide inférieur. Aucun test ne présente une simple attente comme un écoulement.
+- Compatibilité 15 : création puis réouverture sous le mod 16 réussies,
+  76 pièces natives, 5 coffres, 108 cibles de parcours et 5 appuis conservés.
+  Les SHA-256 des deux starts et du journal sont exactement ceux de l’alpha.15
+  publiée. Les fichiers de génération 15 restent inchangés. Le preset caché
+  `sanctuary_v15.json` est identique à l’ancien preset public, SHA-256
+  `6c4a91eede4b9978526d6de6289dbc7394ed4114ebcae9f779fac3ce7e7d887e`.
+  Rapports : `build/alpha16-evidence/legacy15-create.json` et `legacy15-reload.json`.
+- `./gradlew check build assemblePack` passe en 2 min 18 s : huit GameTests,
+  tous les smokes et index du pack vérifiés. Log :
+  `build/alpha16-final-check-build-pack.log`.
+- JAR, MRpack et ZIP d’amorçage vérifiés : même version et même JAR, index et
+  hashes cohérents, aucun code de test embarqué. SHA-256 du JAR :
+  `5504018c46300accf01478dbc8bfb8e216395a5435cf7d7f501005cbc65b8e43`.
+
+### Distribution des sous-sols sur six reliefs
+
+Un second relevé utilise le vrai bruit Minecraft et les protections hydrologiques,
+sans générer les chunks de la ville. Il contrôle les volumes, les fondations et
+les limites de calcul ; les fluides et la persistance restent prouvés par le
+scénario natif ci-dessus. Rapport : `build/alpha16-evidence/underground-matrix.json`.
+
+| Diamètre | Graine | Piscine | Grande salle | Parking | Égout ouvert |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 512 | 0 | Absente | Présente | 8 niveaux | Présent |
+| 512 | 1 | Absente | Présente | 8 niveaux | Présent |
+| 724 | 0 | Présente | Présente | 8 niveaux | Présent |

+| 1024 | 0 | Présente | Absente | 8 niveaux | Présent |
+| 1024 | 1 | Présente | Présente | 8 niveaux | Présent |
+
+La piscine est donc présente dans trois cas sur six, la salle dans cinq cas.
+Les six réseaux ont un accès depuis la surface. Ce petit échantillon ne donne
+pas une fréquence statistique ni une garantie pour les autres graines. Le
+budget souterrain atteint son plafond de 420 000 sondes dans quatre cas ;
+la recherche s’arrête alors en conservant les équipements déjà certifiés.
+Une aile absente ne prouve donc pas l’absence de tout emplacement compatible :
+une autre solution peut se trouver au-delà du budget de recherche.
+La passe souterraine prend 2,9 à 7,0 secondes après la planification de surface
+sur cette machine ; cela ne mesure ni le rendu client ni le chargement complet.
+
+## Repères pour l’essai en jeu
+
+Créer un nouveau monde **Sanctuary, Moyen, graine 0**, structures activées.
+Les coordonnées suivantes proviennent des blocs réellement générés et relus.
+Elles ne constituent pas une migration d’un monde précédent.

+
+Le bassin remplit X −44 à 5, Y 225 à 228, Z −23 à 1. Les plateformes du
+parking sont à Y 117, 133, 149, 165, 181, 197, 213 et 229. Le réseau est
+accessible depuis la trappe de rue. Sur ce témoin, la cascade atteint une
+corniche à Y 113. L’expansion de référence `city16_0_2`, graine
+9111000990819250332, possède aussi une bouche à 1958 / 202 / −651.
+
+Les équipements restent conditionnés par leurs volumes et appuis ; seule la
+zone de ville initiale est garantie par le recours architectural. Aucun essai Windows natif ni revue visuelle en client n’a été effectué pour
+cet incrément ; les vérifications ci-dessus proviennent du moteur serveur Mac. Le pack doit encore être validé en jeu par Koka.
+
+## Livraison

+Le tag `v0.1.0-alpha.16` vise le commit source `98fc13c` ; le canal packwiz
+est au commit `927c862`. Les trois artefacts publics sont vérifiés par
+téléchargement, puis deux installations isolées et deux synchronisations de
+la même instance Prism passent. Un seul JAR alpha.16 est actif ; les 767
+fichiers personnels et réglages suivis conservent leurs hashes. Aucun monde
+personnel ouvert ou régénéré. Les reçus et la sauvegarde ciblée sont décrits
+dans [Distribution](packwiz.md).
+
+## Suite validée avec Koka, hors alpha.16
+
+Développer les trois familles : mines et ateliers, lieux étranges,
+infrastructures à réactiver. Plusieurs réseaux distincts se connectent parfois.
+Les installations encore utilisables et les chantiers interrompus racontent
+l’occupation passée par d’autres joueurs. Les back rooms de ces donjons sont
+physiquement dans l’île et restent distinctes de la dimension des objets perdus.
+Le butin combinera des reliques collectives uniques et des récompenses
+personnelles. Les règles d’attribution restent à définir ; aucun réacteur,
+nouveau spawner de donjon ou système de progression n’est ajouté ici.

+avec cinq pièces chacun. Les contrôles natifs portent sur **15 pièces**, **7 639
+blocs**, **13 chunks FULL**, **12 appuis**, **49 cibles de parcours** et **3 coffres
+à butin différé**. Les empreintes des starts, le plan et un bloc d’or témoin sont
+conservés après réouverture dans une seconde JVM. Les trappes sont ouvertes pour
+vérifier le parcours réel d’un joueur, puis refermées avant la sauvegarde.

+
+```sh
+./gradlew :sanctuary:expansionJournalSmoke --console=plain

+
+Le journal de cette exécution est `build/alpha131-journal-smoke.log` :

+temporaires ; il n’ouvre aucune sauvegarde Minecraft personnelle.
+
+Les contrôles existants de persistance, de corruption, d’historique immuable
+et de compatibilité des racines restent actifs. Trois scénarios couvrent le
+correctif :
+
+- La politique Windows, sélectionnée par le séparateur `\`, permet la création

+  callback de synchronisation du dossier, qui lèverait `AccessDeniedException`,
+  n’est jamais appelé. Les écritures, remplacements atomiques et relectures du
+  fichier ont réellement lieu sur le système de fichiers du Mac.
+- La politique Unix conserve une erreur `AccessDeniedException` injectée après
+  le remplacement atomique. La session devient indisponible, garde son ancien
+  état en mémoire et refuse toute nouvelle écriture. Le journal sur disque
+  contient la réservation ; une nouvelle instance la relit et peut la terminer.
+- Une corruption injectée après le remplacement mais avant la relecture
+  empêche la publication du nouveau plan et conserve le fichier endommagé.
+  Le rechargement refuse ce journal au lieu de créer un historique vide.

+Les [résultats alpha.13.1](benchmarks/alpha131-journal.json) conservent les

+pour ouvrir un répertoire selon la
+[documentation Microsoft de CreateFile](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew#directories).
+Seule cette synchronisation du dossier est omise sous Windows ; les exceptions
+d’écriture, de remplacement ou de relecture restent bloquantes.
+
+Le fichier temporaire est toujours synchronisé par `force(true)`, puis remplacé
+atomiquement et vérifié. Cette séquence ne garantit pas sous Windows la même
+durabilité du renommage en cas de coupure secteur qu’une synchronisation du
+répertoire sous Unix :
+[OpenJDK utilise MoveFileEx sans WRITE_THROUGH](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/jdk-25-ga/src/java.base/windows/classes/sun/nio/fs/WindowsFileCopy.java#L279-L294),
+et le contrat de

+porte sur les modifications du fichier. Aucun changement de format, de graine,
+de générateur ou de réservation enregistrée n’est introduit.

+## Alpha.13 — génération unifiée
+
+`check build assemblePack` passe, y compris le monde Moyen de graine 0 et les
+smokes. Les preuves exportées, journaux, paramètres, mesures et hashes figurent
+dans [le rapport alpha.13](benchmarks/alpha13-worldgen.json).
+
+Le test courant charge `sanctuary:sanctuary`, puis règle son vrai générateur
+`sanctuary:island_v13` comme le fait la personnalisation. Les suites historiques
+restent accessibles avec `-PsanctuaryUnifiedTests=false`.
+
+Les trois tailles passent les huit tests moteur sur la graine **42**, avec
+1 800 ticks de fluides. Chaque inspection des cavités utilise au plus 27 chunks
+FULL, choisis sur des sols et plafonds naturels ; les contrôles d’hydrologie
+emploient un autre échantillon borné. Ces volumes ne sont pas un inventaire de
+l’île et ne mesurent pas le rendu du client.
+
+| Taille | Chunks FULL du diagnostic d’eau | Blocs d’eau retenus après 1 800 ticks | Pilier de spéléothèmes dans l’air naturel |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Petit, 512 | 116 | 4 722 | 25 blocs |
+| Moyen, 724 | 80 | 1 196 | 18 blocs |
+| Grand, 1 024 | 136 | 1 434 | 18 blocs |
+
+Les trois cavités natives sont réellement décorées dans chacun de ces mondes :
+mousse et lianes récoltables pour le luxuriant, pointes et piliers pour les
+spéléothèmes, roche soufrée et pointes pour le soufre. Musiques, brouillard et
+table du `sulfur_cube` restent ceux des biomes Minecraft. La graine 0 présente
+seulement du luxuriant dans le raster naturel inspecté ; elle ne justifie pas
+de forcer les deux autres biomes dans la roche. Une livraison exige les preuves
+cumulées des trois types, pas leur présence sur toute graine.
+
+Le garde-fou est exercé par une vraie écriture `WorldGenRegion` : eau, lit,
+parois naturelles, sources et sorties sont protégés. Quatre témoins de berge
+appartiennent à un chunk voisin de leur cellule d’eau. Une écriture hors volume
+reste possible. Le test utilise une vue modifiable de chunk dédiée, car les
+holders FULL exposent normalement une vue de génération en lecture seule.
+Les blocs témoins temporaires sont restaurés dans le monde de développement.
+
+L’essai client ouvre le bouton natif **Personnaliser**, parcourt les trois
+tailles et vérifie Terminé, Annuler, Échap, réouverture et rafraîchissement des
+réglages. L’écriture/relecture réelle des paramètres conserve la taille, la
+graine, les options, le Nether et l’End. Les anciens générateurs ne deviennent
+pas personnalisables par erreur ; l’éditeur Superflat vanilla reste disponible.
+Une capture confirme la lisibilité de l’écran. Cet essai ne constitue pas une

+
+### Mesure alpha.13 de Moyen
+
+Sur le Mac M1 à 8 Go, Java 25.0.3 et heap de 2 Gio, graine 0, un seul processus
+de jeu actif : la création initiale prend **17,65 s**, puis 289 chunks FULL autour
+du spawn **46,01 s**, soit **63,66 s** cumulées. Le couloir suivant de 80 chunks
+FULL prend **7,82 s**. Le maximum observé pour une requête de chunk est de 1,30 s
+autour du spawn et de 0,79 s dans ce couloir.
+
+Le protocole conserve les anneaux 17 × 17 et le couloir est de l’alpha.11.
+L’ancien Grand et le nouveau Moyen ont le même diamètre nominal de 724 blocs,
+mais la décoration et le spawn peuvent différer : ce n’est pas une mesure
+d’équivalence de génération. Le résultat de départ reste proche des 62,67 s
+mesurées pour l’alpha.11. Un seul passage par version, sans mesure du GPU,
+des FPS, du réseau, de la disponibilité des chunks pour les ticks ou d’une
+charge multijoueur. Grand n’a pas de benchmark complet 289 + 80 dans cette
+livraison ; ses tests moteur ci-dessus ont une autre charge de travail.

+### Expansions et rechargement alpha.13
+
+Sur le monde unifié Moyen de graine 42, les deux processus réussissent :
+refus des huit premiers sites occupés, tropicale plus loin au nord, branche
+aride à au moins 2 048 blocs de son parent, relecture du journal et des blocs
+témoins, puis nouvelle expansion après redémarrage. Les colonnes de terrain
+et les biomes enregistrés restent identiques après décodage du générateur.
+Le framework reconstruit les paramètres actifs depuis le preset ; le test
+vérifie séparément le codec sauvegardé et les fichiers réellement rechargés.
+
+Aucun camp admissible n’a été observé sur l’origine unifiée des graines 42 et
+8 675 309 : les fondations naturelles ou la protection hydrologique écartent
+les candidats. Les essais stricts y échouent donc sur la preuve de structure.
+La paire unifiée validée utilise explicitement un témoin de structure
+facultatif, seulement après inspection complète des candidats. Ses rapports
+indiquent `native_structure_observed=false` et ne constituent aucune preuve
+positive de placement ou de butin dans l’origine alpha.13. Les critères de
+fondation et la génération ne sont pas assouplis pour faire passer un test.
+
+Exécuter les deux commandes sans lancer un autre GameTest entre elles :
+
+```sh
+./gradlew :sanctuary:runGameTest -PsanctuaryExpansionTests=true -PsanctuaryOptionalStructureWitness=true -PsanctuaryTestDiameter=724 -PsanctuaryTestSeed=42 -PsanctuaryResourceSurvey=off -PsanctuaryDensityMaps=false

+```
+
+Sans ce drapeau explicite, le scénario exige toujours une vraie structure avec
+son conteneur et sa table de butin native. La réouverture vérifie toujours ces
+trois éléments lorsqu’ils ont été observés dans le premier processus.
+
+La paire historique, rejouée avec le binaire alpha.13, réussit sur la graine
+42 sans rendre le témoin facultatif : camp abandonné de forêt, bloc du
+conteneur et table de butin native retrouvés après redémarrage. Cela valide
+la chaîne génération 12 conservée ; ce résultat ne vaut pas comme preuve
+d’un camp dans l’origine unifiée. Le smoke du journal teste aussi une origine
+13 de diamètre 1 024 avec un enfant 12, le schéma 1 et le refus d’une lecture

 # Premier monde Sanctuary

-Le preset `sanctuary:sanctuary` crée l'île principale à l'origine de l'Overworld,
-entourée de vide sans répétition d'îles à grande distance. C'est une première
-tranche de génération pour Minecraft **26.3-pre-2 / Fabric**, pas encore le
-système d'expansion collective.
+## Alpha.13 — génération unifiée

-L’alpha.11 propose deux choix de création, **Petit** et **Grand**, avec Grand
-par défaut. Les anciennes tailles 20/100 restent chargeables dans les sauvegardes.
-Les observations de chaque version restent dans [Validation](testing.md).
+Le choix public **Sanctuary** (`sanctuary:sanctuary`) crée l’île principale à
+l’origine de l’Overworld, entourée de vide. Son bouton natif **Personnaliser**
+propose **Petit** (512 blocs de diamètre nominal), **Moyen** (724, par défaut)
+et **Grand** (1 024). Les types vanilla restent disponibles. La hauteur reste
+de 384 blocs ; les dimensions nominales ne donnent ni aire habitable garantie
+ni capacité multijoueur.

-## Laboratoire d’expansion — alpha.12
+L’île initiale reprend la densité, les forêts et l’hydrologie complète de la
+famille Population, avec les poches de biomes souterrains natives du laboratoire.
+Les extensions conservent leurs profils climatiques et leurs commandes
+alpha.12.1. Leurs règles de génération restent distinctes de celles de l’île
+initiale : la grande hydrologie de départ n’est pas automatiquement reproduite
+sur chaque continent ajouté.

-Un troisième choix, **Sanctuary — Laboratoire** (`sanctuary:expansion_lab`),
-crée une origine de 512 blocs avec un relief supérieur expérimental. Les commandes
-opérateur peuvent ensuite ouvrir des régions de 64/128/256/512 blocs, avec
-parent, direction, climat et relief indépendants. Chaque région enregistre sa
-graine et sa génération 12 dans un journal serveur propre au monde.
+Les trois tailles et les cavités passent les contrôles moteur. Le [guide alpha.13](alpha13-worldgen.md)
+décrit l’interface, les paramètres sauvegardés et les outils d’expansion ;
+[Validation](testing.md) conserve la portée des essais de chaque version.

-Ce générateur distinct utilise la densité flottante comme base et les biomes,
-matériaux, décorations et structures compatibles de Minecraft. Il ne reprend
-pas encore les grandes rivières et terrasses alpha.11. Petit, Grand et les
-sauvegardes historiques conservent leurs réglages. Créer un nouveau monde pour
-le laboratoire ; aucune migration ou commande de régénération n’est fournie.
-Le [guide alpha.12](alpha12-laboratory.md) décrit les outils, les limites et les
-observations réelles. Les sections historiques ci-dessous gardent leur portée.
+## Créer un nouveau monde

-## Petit et Grand — alpha.11
+En solo, choisir **Sanctuary**, ouvrir **Personnaliser**, puis confirmer la
+taille avec **Terminé**. **Annuler** conserve le réglage précédent. Cette
+interface configure le monde à créer ; elle ne redimensionne pas une partie.

-| Choix public | Diamètre nominal | Aire nominale relative | Preset | Réglage enregistré |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Petit | 512 blocs | 1 | `sanctuary:sanctuary_5` | `sanctuary:population_5` |
-| Grand, défaut | Environ 724 blocs | 2 | `sanctuary:sanctuary` | `sanctuary:population_10` |
-
-La hauteur reste de 384 blocs. Les repères internes 5/10 décrivent le calcul
-de surface ; ils ne sont ni des noms affichés ni une capacité promise.
-Le relief réel garde ses trous, ses surplombs et sa bordure sculptée.
-
-Le nouveau Grand reçoit sa propre clé `population_10`. Les anciens mondes
-`population_5`, `population_20` et `population_100` restent chargeables avec
-leurs paramètres ; les formats 20/100 sont cachés dans les choix publics.
-Changer la valeur du preset de création n’agrandit ni ne réduit une sauvegarde.
-Les générations antérieures restent distinctes, dont `sanctuary_cavern` et
-`sanctuary_rift`.
-
-L’optimisation réutilise les coins d’interpolation avec la même arithmétique
-et borne ce cache à 192 Kio par thread, sans retenir fortement un monde.
-Les plans prêts restent accessibles pendant le calcul d’une autre région ;
-le sampler compilé est réutilisé dans ce calcul. Les contrôles d’équivalence,
-de persistance et les mesures à géométrie identique sont dans [Validation](testing.md).
-Les règles de forme, d’hydrologie et les anciens réglages restent inchangés.
-
-## Créer un monde
-
-La création solo propose **Sanctuary (Petit)** et **Sanctuary (Grand)**,
-ce dernier étant le défaut Sanctuary.
-Les types de monde vanilla restent disponibles.
-
-Sur un nouveau serveur Fabric disposant de cette version et de Fabric API,
-le choix Grand utilise :
+Sur un nouveau serveur Fabric avec Fabric API, le preset public utilise la
+taille **Moyen**, 724 blocs :

 ```properties
 level-type=sanctuary:sanctuary
-level-name=sanctuary
+level-name=sanctuary-dev
 level-seed=0
 ```

-Pour Petit, utiliser `level-type=sanctuary:sanctuary_5`. Choisir un nouveau
-`level-name` pour tester l’autre taille. La seed est libre ; ces exemples ne
-convertissent aucun monde déjà enregistré et n’autorisent aucune régénération.
-Les fichiers de test et les sauvegardes personnelles restent distincts.
+La graine est libre. Utiliser un dossier neuf pour un essai ; modifier
+`level-type` ne convertit aucun monde enregistré. Aucune commande de migration
+ou de régénération des anciennes îles n’est fournie.
+
+## Compatibilité et versions historiques
+
+L’alpha.13 enregistre le générateur `sanctuary:island_v13`, son diamètre initial
+et une racine de génération 13. Les nouvelles expansions restent de génération
+12. Leur journal utilise le dossier propre au monde
+`data/sanctuary-world-v13/`. Les anciens codecs et presets sont conservés, mais
+cachés de la sélection publique. Les mondes déjà créés conservent leurs réglages
+et leur journal ; aucun chunk n’est remplacé par cette mise à jour.
+
+### Alpha.12 et alpha.12.1 — laboratoire historique
+
+Le preset distinct `sanctuary:expansion_lab` proposait une origine de 512 blocs
+et des commandes opérateur pour ajouter des îles de 64/128/256/512 blocs.
+Son relief expérimental et ses biomes natifs ne reprenaient pas les grandes
+rivières et terrasses de Population. L’alpha.12.1 ajoutait une distance
+facultative et la recherche d’un emplacement libre au-delà des chunks occupés.
+
+Ces mondes gardent leur génération 12 et leur dossier
+`data/sanctuary-expansion-v1/`. Le [guide du laboratoire](alpha12-laboratory.md)
+reste la référence historique de ces versions, avec leurs seules observations.
+
+### Alpha.11 — Petit et Grand historiques
+
+| Ancien choix public | Diamètre nominal | Ancien preset | Réglage enregistré |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Petit | 512 blocs | `sanctuary:sanctuary_5` | `sanctuary:population_5` |
+| Grand, ancien défaut | Environ 724 blocs | `sanctuary:sanctuary` | `sanctuary:population_10` |
+
+L’ancien Grand correspond à la taille nominale du nouveau Moyen. Les mondes
+historiques `population_5`, `population_10`, `population_20` et `population_100`
+restent chargeables avec leurs dimensions. Le preset public est une recette
+de création ; sa nouvelle définition ne remplace pas leur générateur sauvegardé.
+
+L’optimisation alpha.11 conserve l’arithmétique de l’interpolation et les règles
+de terrain et d’hydrologie. Ses mesures et contrôles sont historiques, sans
+validation anticipée des ajouts de l’alpha.13.
