check_building_transit :309827 = sphere_intersects_cell per portal-adjacent
cell): retail KEEPS curr_cell when nothing contains the centre — including
inside a house's containment gaps. Our 6dbbf95 escape hatch instead demoted
any hydrated indoor claim the sphere no longer overlaps to the outdoor
column; at the A9B3 hill cottage's real interior gap this stranded the
player outdoor-classified deep indoors, where re-promotion is portal-
adjacent-only (retail-identical) -> the outdoor flood rendered the interior
transparent (the user's "sometimes transparent" walk).
The hatch's actual target - poisoned (cell, position) SAVES - has been
handled at the SNAP by PhysicsEngine.Resolve's AdjustPosition validation
since #107/#111, so the per-tick pick reverts to retail semantics:
1. lateral recovery first - when the sphere no longer overlaps the claim,
search the claim's stab list for a containing cell (retail
find_visible_child_cell :311444, the same recovery AdjustPosition uses);
the #111 adjacent-claim shape now self-heals laterally (dat-backed test:
pick(seed 0x172) at a 0x171-interior point -> 0x171);
2. else KEEP curr_cell (retail null-result).
Two old tests asserting the hatch demote rewritten to the retail semantics
(tests-can-codify-bugs); P1 retail-golden conformance gates explicitly green
(FindCellListConformance + ThresholdPortalCrossing + CottageDoorway +
CameraCornerSeal = 11/11). New Issue112MembershipTests: the lateral-recovery
fact + a DocumentsResidual fact pinning the remaining at-doorway gap demote
(via the NORMAL outdoor-candidate path; open oracle read = retail's
add_all_outside_cells gate in CEnvCell::find_transit_cells pc:317499 -
sphere-proximity vs graph-reachability). Core 1383 + 4 pre-existing #99
failures + 1 skip.
