Code-review feedback on commit 5f7722a: the test was gamed —
placing the sphere exactly on the floor (worldPosZ = floorZ) made it
pass regardless of whether synthesis was present. With sphere center at
Z=0.48 (= floorZ + SphereRadius), PolygonHitsSpherePrecise's distance
guard fires immediately (|dist|=0.48 > rad=0.478) and
TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane returns false even WITH synthesis code. The
test would have passed even if the strip were reverted.
Redesign: restore worldPosZ = floorZ - 0.05f (sphere center at Z=0.43).
Now |dist|=0.43 < rad=0.478 → the guard passes → TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane
finds the floor polygon → synthesis would fire → CP writes every frame.
Path 5 (Contact branch) is not a concern: the loop moves only in X so
movement = (0.001, 0, 0), Dot(movement, floor_normal=(0,0,1)) = 0 ≥ 0 →
PosHitsSphere front-face cull rejects the floor hit even with sphere
center below the floor. Path 5 returns OK with zero CP writes. Contact
flag is left set to keep the test on the realistic grounded-mover path.
Validated locally by temporarily re-introducing the synthesis call —
test fails with 60 writes (1 per frame) pre-strip, passes with 0
additional writes post-strip. Now a real regression sentinel.
1148 pass + 8 pre-existing fail baseline maintained.
