Batches of small boxed problems whose passes end with the KKT test failing and
the cost unmoved (dependent free columns, releases the factor drops, weak-direction
noise-floor problems). They must report Converged, and land within the documented
gap of an exact active-set enumeration. Pins the stall comparison and the cost
scale in Objective, which no test reached before.

With b along the smallest left singular vector, |A^T b| is tiny, so the KKT
tolerance (1e-6 of it) sits below the gradient's rounding noise at cond(A) >=
1e6 and can never be met. The solver must stop on the progress rule, in at most
six passes, never at the cap. This is the path the progress rule exists for;
the earlier fixtures reached it only by accident.

Two tolerance behaviours had no observer: the scale taken at the box point
nearest the origin (a 6e-5 release on a 1000-scale problem, in either column
position), and the strict comparisons when the scale and the gradient are both
exactly zero (b = 0 at the origin takes no iteration).

The full-step clamp repairs an out-of-box start on a free column, so the
warm-start clamp was invisible to the old test (Stryker: five survivors). The
new table runs one column with b beyond the box and a cap of 0, where the
solver returns the clamped start untouched, across finite, infinite and NaN
starts and finite and infinite bounds.
Workspace junk (including NaN doubles) is now checked on random boxed problems
that release bounds and use the tolerance, with bit-identical x and equal
iteration counts.

Measured with Stryker once Solve was actually mutated (21 survivors), most of
them were code that decided nothing:
- The finite-input loops over A and b duplicated the non-finite test on the
accumulated A^T b, which is exactly equivalent (floats cannot overflow a
double product, and NaN/infinity never cancel to a finite value). One check
on each A^T b entry remains.
- The tolerance scale is the gradient at the box point nearest the origin,
computed inline; the max with |A^T b| duplicated it whenever the origin is in
the box, and the scratch vector for it is gone.
- Bound violation is state * gradient, which is zero for a free column; the
three-way ternary duplicated the free-stationarity check.
- The warm-start clamp is Math.Clamp plus a NaN test.
- Workspace slices come off a cursor (Take) instead of hand-summed offsets.

Stryker left the refinement step (removed, negated, or subtracted) unobserved,
and it is unobservable for a reason: refinement with a same-precision residual
does not improve forward error, and Cholesky is backward stable, so the
residual the KKT test reads is already at rounding level. Measured on n=24
problems at cond(A) 1e3..1e6, the solver with and without the step gives the
same iteration counts and the same x error against a Gram-Schmidt QR
reference (both limited by cond(A^T A) * eps).
The refinement pass, its dp buffer and the scratch vector are deleted;
WorkspaceLength returns to 4n^2 + 15n. The doc states where the normal
equations stop being optimal (cost gap below 1e-6 |b|^2 through cond(A) 3e5,
about 2e-5 at 1e6, independent of the scale of A) and that a ridge row beyond
that is the caller's policy.
status is now initialised: the unassigned local made Stryker discard every
mutant inside Solve as a compile error, so 255 mutants were never measured.

- n=24 fully free problems at cond 1e2/1e3/1e4, and A x 1e6 with unscaled
bounds, converge in at most two iterations (a regression to cap-spinning
fails on the count, not on a clock).
- b = 0 from a far start reaches the optimum instead of the start.
- Warm-start clamp table, free duplicate column gets no step, parallel columns
at absolute scales 1e3 and 1e-3, near-singular free sets confirm once and
stop, near-collinear optimum at A x 1e6, and zero allocation on the invalid,
converged and cap paths (first and second call).

The working iterate now lives in double inside the workspace (WorkspaceLength
4n^2 + 17n); A, b and the API x stay float and x is converted in at the start
and out at the end. The gradient, the free-stationarity check and the KKT test
all run in the double domain, which removes the float noise floor that made the
free-stationarity re-solve spin to the cap on optimal points (cond >= ~20).
A fixed tolerance is no longer the only stopping rule: after a stationarity
miss or a release, a pass that lowers the double cost by no more than rounding
reports Converged.
The tolerance scale is the larger of the gradient at the origin and at the box
point nearest the origin, so it never depends on the warm start; b = 0 with a
far start is no longer judged converged by its own steepness.
Two clauses were equivalent or unobservable and are deleted: the d <= 0 pivot
test (implied by d <= tol * diag) and the dependent[] exclusion from the
free-stationarity check (the progress rule now terminates it).

Soul pass 3 confirmed two documentation defects: the F6 search-radius proof
misstated 3 - 2m + 3m^2 at m=1/2 as 2.5 (actual 2.75; true min on [0,1/2] is
8/3 at m=1/3), and both math.cs and design.md cited a fabricated 203.8
chi-square statistic for float-bit hashing that Soul could not reproduce
(6+ seeds scored 7.7-30.9). Corrected the arithmetic and replaced the
unreproducible measurement with what actually pins integer hashing: the
oracle and mirror tests, and the chi-square test's real scope (the hash as
cellular calls it, not the call site itself). No test or code changed.

EveryMirrorFunctionMatchesCSharpMath's generic random/special-value cases
never happen to hit a point where a radius-2 cell wins (about 3.5e-5 of
points) or an integer point at or past 2^23, so an HLSL mutant of cellular's
search radius, its lower-bound prune, or the removed F2=0 guard could change
cultmath_cellular's real output and still pass this test.
Adds three targeted point cases, reusing CellularAndSminGradTests' own
fixtures so the mirror test does not carry a second copy of the construction:
- the six points from AxisAlignedRadiusTwoOffsets/FindPointRealizingOffset,
each of which realizes a different axis-aligned radius-2 offset as F1 or
F2 in the independent 7x7x7 oracle;
- four integer points at 2^24 (both signs), where distinct cells' jittered
features can round onto the same float32 value, reaching the F2 = 0 guard;
- one exact F1 = F2 tie point, the midpoint of two adjacent cells' feature
points (bit-exact-equidistant from both by construction, no search
needed).
Verified against four HLSL mutants applied to shaders/CultMath.hlsl on
scratch copies (not committed) and reverted after each check:
- `dz < 2` instead of `dz <= 2`: killed by the axis-slice point at
(-56.671272, -67.01973, -79.001).
- `dx` starting at -1 instead of -2: killed by the axis-slice point at
(62, -77.91331, -79.42451).
- pruning against f1 instead of f2: killed by an axis-slice point and both
of the 2^24 integer points (3 mismatches).
- the F2 = 0 guard removed (`grad2 = (p - c2) / f2`, unconditional): killed
by the (2^24, 2^24, 2^24) integer point (NaN vs the guarded zero).

CellularAndSminGradTests.cs changes for cut 2a-i's pass-2 findings:
- FeaturePoint and the two other independent pcg3d/pcg4d call sites now hash
int3(cell)/int4(int3(cellId), 0) to match production's integer-hashing fix
(previous commit); the oracle would otherwise diverge from cellular() and
every comparison test would fail.
- New JitterAndIdPassAChiSquareUniformityTest: jitter.x/y/z and id each pass
a chi-square uniformity test (16 bins, 15 df, critical value 37.7 at
alpha=0.001) over 200,000 cells. This is the behavioural pin for the
hashing fix; reverting to pcg3d(cell)'s float-bit hash fails it.
- Two false comments corrected to the measured facts: the
NearestFeatureWins test's claim that |component|=2 offsets are "provably
never the true nearest" is false (their lower bound is 1, not sqrt(3); Soul
measured 3 F1 wins in 2,000,000 samples), and SearchReachesEveryAxis...'s
claim of "lower bound is exactly 2" and "zero hits in 3,000,000" is also
false (lower bound is 1; Soul measured about 1 hit in 28,000).
- PrunedSearchIsBitIdentical... renamed to
...BelowTwoToTheTwentyFifth and its comment states that domain explicitly
(design.md, previous commit).
- GradientTolerance split into SminGradientTolerance (2.5e-4f) and
CellularGradientTolerance (1.3e-3f): the two functions have different
curvature (smin_grad is exactly quadratic in a band; cellular's F1/F2 are
real distance fields), so a shared 3e-4 tolerance carried almost no
headroom over either's actual measured noise (re-measured here at 5.3e-4
for smin's old eps, 2.0e-4/2.6e-4 for cellular), not the "~6e-5" the old
comment claimed. smin_grad's eps moves from 0.001f to 0.01f (no truncation
cost there; dilutes float noise 8x) with a matching widened seam-exclusion
band so p +/- eps cannot step across the seam the check at p already
avoided. cellular's eps stays at 0.0005f (a small sweep found it already
near the truncation/noise sweet spot for a real distance field). Both new
tolerances keep >5x headroom over their own measured worst case and both
still die under a 1.01x-scale mutant on the returned gradient — smin down
to 1.0005x, cellular (M9/M16-style, either gradient) down to 1.002x.
- GradientMatchesCentralDifferencesAwayFromTheF1EqualsF2Seam also excludes a
band around F2 = F3 now, not just F1 = F2: the second-nearest feature's
identity swaps there too, a genuine kink the old test could silently hit
(an unfiltered large sample found a 0.78 edge error this way, swamping the
~2e-4 the filtered test actually sees).
- AxisAlignedRadiusTwoOffsets and FindPointRealizingOffset are extracted from
SearchReachesEveryAxisAlignedRadiusTwoSlice as internal fixtures so
HlslSourceCompatibilityTests (next commit) can reuse the same construction
instead of a second copy.

design.md follow-ups matching the math.cs/HLSL fix in the previous commit:
- The F6 "5x5x5 is exact" argument is rewritten with the corrected near-side
neighbour bound (choose the axis closest to its own boundary, not a fixed
axis), the m <= 1/2 derivation, and the counterexample that showed the old
argument wrong. Same text as the math.cs comment, so the two do not drift.
- "Integer hashing" now states that cellular hashes the winning cell's
integer coordinate, not its float32 bit pattern, and records the measured
chi-square evidence (203.8 over 1,000,000 cells, 15 df, critical value
37.7) for why the old bit-pattern hash failed a uniformity check.
- "Precision domain" gets a new paragraph: the lower-bound prune's bit
identity to the unpruned 5x5x5 search holds for |p| < 2^25, not
unconditionally. Above that, cell + offset itself starts to round in
float32, so the pruned and unpruned loops can visit different actual
neighbours at the same nominal offset (Soul, cut 2a-i: 180 of 1,100,000
points differ at |p| ~= 3.4e7). This is a float32 domain limit on the
equivalence proof, not a bug in the prune; the committed test's [-50, 50]^3
sweep is comfortably inside it.

Soul (cut 2a-i, pass 2) found two defects in cellular's own math.cs source
and its HLSL mirror:
- cellular hashed pcg3d/pcg4d over the FLOAT32 BIT PATTERN of each
integer-valued cell coordinate (pcg3d(neighbor), pcg4d(float4(cellId, 0)))
instead of the integer coordinate itself. Two adjacent cells' bit patterns
share more structure (same exponent, mantissa one increment apart) than
the integers do going into pcg3d's own mixing, and that structure survived
into the jitter: measured chi-square 203.8 for jitter.x over 1,000,000
cells against 15 degrees of freedom (critical value 37.7). Both call sites
now hash int3(neighbor)/int4(int3(cellId), 0) directly, in C# and in the
HLSL mirror (both shaders/CultMath.hlsl and the Unity copy, byte-identical
as before). This changes cellular's noise output — nothing has shipped, so
that is acceptable, but it is a real behavioural change, not a comment fix.
- The F6 exactness proof's "near-side neighbour" bound was wrong as written:
picking the near-side neighbour on a FIXED axis is not always within
sqrt(3) of the query (counterexample: u = (0.5, 0, 0) with the x-neighbour
jittered to (-1, 1-2^-24, 1-2^-24) gives ~2.06, past the radius-2
exclusion). The comment is rewritten to the correct argument: choose the
axis whose u_i sits closest to a cell boundary (m = min(u_i, 1-u_i) <=
1/2 on that axis), and the near-side neighbour on THAT axis has squared
distance at most (1+m)^2 + 2*(1-m)^2 = 3 - 2m + 3m^2 <= 3 on [0, 1/2],
strictly below 3 since the jitter never reaches the boundary. Margin
2 - sqrt(3) ~= 0.268 (Soul's adversarial check: worst in-box F2 is exactly
sqrt(3), only in the unattainable corner limit).

Stryker (mtp, --since 29e50ad3) found 261 survivors / 24 timeouts across the
whole repo; triaging the ones in this fix batch's own new code (cellular's
loop, its prune, cellular_unit) surfaced one real gap disguised as
collateral timeout noise from a batched infinite-loop mutant: dz < 2 (and
the dy/dx equivalents), silently dropping the +2 layer on one axis alone,
passed every existing random-sampled test. That is not the sweeps being
weak: the exactness proof's own margin (F1, F2 always < sqrt(3), radius-2
cells' lower bound is exactly 2) makes a genuine win from any single
|offset component| = 2 cell astronomically rare over uniformly random
points (measured zero hits in 3,000,000 samples).
SearchReachesEveryAxisAlignedRadiusTwoSlice constructs a real example for
each of the six axis-aligned radius-2 offsets directly: for a candidate
integer cell, build the query point that is the closest point of that
cell's own unit cube to the target neighbour's actual jittered feature.
That construction finds a hit for every offset within a couple thousand
candidate cells, deterministically. This kills dz < 2 / dy < 2 / dx < 2 (all
manually confirmed).
Also manually confirmed via Stryker's own reported mutants: the dz--/dy--/
dx-- (increment-to-decrement) mutants are genuine infinite loops, correctly
caught as timeouts. The f2 >= 0.0f mutant (disabling the F2 = 0 guard) is
killed by the existing NoNaNAtIntegerPointsNear2To24 test. The remaining
survivors/timeouts in the new code (the lower-bound prune's >>= vs >
comparison, its arithmetic terms, and cellular_unit's >> vs >>> shift on an
already-unsigned operand) are equivalent mutants: since the per-axis lower
bound is always 0 or 1 by construction, and pruning is a proven-safe
optimization that never changes cellular's output, no mutation confined to
"when does the prune trigger" can be observed by any value-based test.
Verified by hand: disabling pruning entirely reproduces the unpruned
reference bit for bit, as it must.

- smin_grad is Quilez's quadratic-polynomial smin, not cubic.
- cellular's search radius is 5x5x5 (F6), not 3x3x3; adds the exactness
proof and the pruning claim.
- id source is now pcg4d over the winning cell, not the pcg3d hash that
produced its jitter (F4).
- F2 = 0 is documented as reachable (past |p| of about 2^23), not
unreachable; removes the false "unreachable" claim and adds a "Precision
domain" note stating the float32 feature-spacing/tie behaviour honestly
(F3, minor finding).
- The struct-mirror comparison note now says it also matches field name and
type in declaration order, not just position (F2).
No entry added to THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES for the Quilez/Worley formulas: per

Cut 2a-i fix batch 1, findings F1, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 (Soul falsification of
the first landing):
- cellular now searches a provably exact 5x5x5 neighbourhood (radius 2), not
3x3x3: 3x3x3 missed the true F2 for 9 of 400,000 sampled points. The
comment in math.cs proves 5x5x5 always contains the true F1 and F2 (both
are always < sqrt(3), every excluded cell is always > 2). A cheap
position-only lower-bound prune skips the pcg3d/jitter/distance work for
cells that provably cannot beat the running F2, without changing any
output bit (F6).
- F2 = 0 now gets the same degenerate-gradient guard F1 = 0 already had,
fixing a NaN that was reachable past |p| of about 2^23 (F3).
- id now comes from pcg4d over the winning cell alone, never from the pcg3d
hash that produced that cell's jitter, so id and jitter are no longer
deterministic functions of each other (F4).
- cellular_unit maps the top 24 bits instead of a plain divide-by-2^32, so
the mapping is always inside [0, 1); the old formula rounded
0xFFFFFF80..0xFFFFFFFF up to exactly 1.0f (F7).
- Central-difference tolerances tightened from 0.02 to 3e-4 (measured float
noise at the committed eps is about 6e-5), and cellular's own gradient
test now differentiates cellular's RETURNED .w values instead of a
duplicate FindF1F2 search, so a mutant that corrupts only the returned
gradient can't hide behind an independently-computed value (F1, F5).
- The struct-mirror comparison in HlslSourceCompatibilityTests now checks
field name and declared type in declaration order, not just position, so
a reordered-and-relabelled mirror struct (H2) or a renamed/retyped one
(H3) both fail the walk instead of surviving on values alone (F2).
- FindF1F2 widened to a true independent 7x7x7 brute-force oracle; new tests
pin production's exact agreement with it, the pruned search's bit-for-bit
equivalence to an unpruned 5x5x5 reference, no NaN at 2^24, and id's
correlation with jitter under 0.05.
- Comment/doc fix: smin_grad is Quilez's quadratic-polynomial smin, not
cubic.
Both shaders/CultMath.hlsl and unity/.../Shaders/CultMath.hlsl stay
byte-identical.
Manually verified mutants M9 (grad1 x 1.01), M16 (grad2 x 1.01), and M18 (id
from hash.y) all die against these tests; H2/H3 struct mutants die via the
new comparator tests. Local dotnet test: 191/191 passing. FXC cs_5_0 compile
of a scratch kernel using both cultmath_smin_grad and cultmath_cellular
succeeds.

Stryker (scoped to this cut's diff) survived two mutants on the grad2 ternary
in math.cellular: forcing the true branch unconditionally, and loosening
f2 > 0.0f to f2 >= 0.0f. Both are real findings about the code, not the
tests: F2 = 0 needs two distinct integer cells' pcg3d-jittered feature points
to land on the exact float32 value in every component, which the jitter's
~24-bit float precision makes unreachable for any p this function is
actually called with. The spec only asks for the degenerate guard at F1 = 0;
F2's copy of it was added for symmetry and had no reachable case to defend.
Deleted the guard (grad2 is now a bare (p - c2) / f2) in math.cs and both
HLSL mirrors, and corrected design.md's invariant-8 section, which had
overstated this as symmetric with F1's guard.

dotnet test found two failures where a fixed-decimal-place Assert.Equal
snapped two numbers that already agreed to within about 2e-5 to different
rounded digits, because their true difference straddled a rounding boundary
(0.824987829 vs 0.825006127 -> 0.82 vs 0.83). Both were central-difference
checks (smin_grad's own invariant-8 property test, and cellular's gradient-
matches-central-differences test), not a correctness bug in the primitives.
AssertWithinTolerance replaces the precision-based assertion for both central-
difference comparisons with an explicit absolute-difference check, which
states the actual claim (agreement within the finite-difference step's own
truncation error) without the rounding-boundary artifact. Also dropped an
unused local function (F2At) the build flagged.

Inside the static math class, the unqualified name `float3` resolves to

prior code in math.cs used the Type.zero static-field spelling from inside

CellularAndSminGradTests pins the rules the cut map calls out, each against a
mutant it must kill:
- smin's value never exceeds the ordinary minimum, and matches min with that
input's own gradient once |a.w - b.w| exceeds k on either side.
- smin_grad's gradient matches central differences of its own .w at random
seeded points (the formula is exact, not an approximation, so no exclusion
band is needed away from the |a.w-b.w|=k seam itself).
- A direct case falsifies blending the gradient with a constant 0.5 or with
(1 - h) instead of h.
- cellular's F1 never exceeds F2, matched against an independent brute-force
Worley search that shares only the public pcg3d hash, not cellular's control
flow.
- The true nearest feature wins even when an independent search finds it in
the (1, 1, 1) neighbour offset, the last one cellular's own loop order
visits, ruling out a "first found" or early-exit mutant.
- The gradient at a feature point is finite zero, not NaN.
- Both nearest and edge gradients match central differences away from a band
around the F1 = F2 set, where the nearest and second-nearest identity swap
discontinuously.
- id is constant across small moves that stay in the same feature's region and
differs from a distant cell's id.

HlslSourceCompatibilityTests previously flattened only bare vector returns to
scalar leaves. Values() now recurses through struct fields of any type, so a
struct return (invariant 8's one shape, e.g. CultCellular) is compared field
by field down to bit-for-bit scalars, exactly like a vector return already
was. Components() stays scoped to scalar-typed fields, since it only ever
builds function arguments and must not recurse.
TransformHlslToCSharp gains transformation 5: struct fields gain `public`,
since HLSL has no field access-modifier concept and a C# struct's fields
default to private, which would hide them from Values()' reflection. The old
wrap-in-a-class transformation is renumbered 6. design.md's transformation
list documents both, matching design.md:92's numbered list.
StructReturnComparisonRejectsAMismatchedField is the extension's own test: two
hand-built structs with the same shape (mirroring a real mirror-vs-C#
comparison) prove the field-by-field, bit-for-bit walk actually rejects a
struct whose leaf field differs, or whose nested vector's own component
differs, not just a length check.

smin_grad(float4,float4,float) carries Inigo Quilez's cubic-polynomial smooth
minimum to invariant 8's value-and-gradient form: the gradient blend lerp(b,a,h)
is the exact analytic derivative, not an approximation, since the h-derivative
terms cancel algebraically inside the smoothing band.
cellular(float3) is Worley's cellular texture basis function (SIGGRAPH 1996),
searched over the jittered 3x3x3 neighbourhood of pcg3d-selected feature
points. It returns the new CultCellular struct (nearest, edge, id), following
the repo's existing degenerate-normal convention
(GameCult.Geometry.CultGeometryIsoSurface.EmitOrientedTriangle) to return a
finite zero gradient instead of NaN at a feature point.
Both are fresh implementations from the cited literature, not ports, so they
get a design.md/doc-comment citation instead of a THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES entry.
design.md gains an "Invariant 8: Value-and-Gradient Primitives" section
documenting both primitives' semantics and conventions.
