+# Session 2026-06-04 — World-space cohesion pass
+
+> Driven by `/dots-dev` (Feature track) under ultracode. Third log dated 2026-06-04 (after M8 + the Polish backlog pass).
+
+## Goal
+
+Make the flat-feeling world feel like **a more cohesive world** without editing the floor/terrain: non-flat feel
+via props, **build out a base** (more placeable structures), and **destructible resource gathering + clearing out
+areas**. Operator picked: balanced vertical slice · all-Synty recoloured Blight · clearing = juice + minor scrap ·
+buildables = Walls + structural variety.
+
+## Done
+
+- **Clearing mechanic (net-new):** `BlightClutter` ownerless-interpolated ghost (RegionTag{Expedition}, [GhostField]
+  Remaining+Variant) + `ClutterFieldSpawner`. **Unified `ResourceHarvestSystem`** to sweep nodes + clutter in one
+  best-target loop (the double-destroy fix). `ExpeditionFieldSystem` scatters/clears clutter alongside the node field
+  (distinct seed). Client smash juice = new observe-only `WorldFeedbackSystem` + live-tunable `WorldFeelConfig`
+  (chip on `Remaining` decrease, shatter + camera punch on despawn, proximity-gated so region-transit stays silent).
+- **Build out the base:** `StructureType.Wall=5`/`Pylon=6` (2–4 reserved for M7), generic `StructureAuthoring`, two
+  additive `StructureCatalog` rows, V/N build keys + editor hooks. `Wall.prefab` blocks the player (BoxCollider →
+  PhysicsCollider); `Pylon.prefab` cosmetic. `BuildPlaceSystem` untouched (already type-generic).
+- **Visual cohesion:** `M_Aether_Wild`(orange)/`M_Aether_Ordered`(cyan) HDR-emissive materials; the 3 new ghosts
+  recoloured into the palette; the barren +1000 Blightfield became a 21-piece Synty rock/debris basin + 3 orange
+  wild-lights (classic-URP cosmetics in `Game.unity`, no subscene re-bake; relief via props, no terrain).
+- **Validation:** EditMode **142/142** (5 harvest tests incl. overlap/fractional/same-tick-cleared). In-editor Play
+  (server+client) introspected via `execute_code`: baking, ghost registration, buildables (Ore 50→44, R1 collider),
+  clutter scatter (14+8 @ x≈1000), **0 errors**. A 4-lens adversarial-review Workflow (23 raised → 4 confirmed) caught
+  an immortal-shot-sink (sub-1.0 `ScrapPerHit` truncates to 0) + a same-tick-cleared passthrough — both fixed +
+  regression-tested before sign-off.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- [[DR-018_World_Space_Cohesion_Pass]] — clutter as a node-sibling on a unified sweep; byte-additive Wall/Pylon;
+  classic-URP Blightfield dressing; Aether-palette recolour. Builds on [[DR-013_M6_Aether_Cycle_Region_Split]] /
+  [[DR-014_M6_Build_Structures_Automation_Foundation]] / [[DR-015_The_Awakening_Engine_Fiction_Adoption]].
+
+## Open / deferred
+
+- Base-side cohesion accents (cyan lights / perimeter relief / re-enabled tiled ground) — deferred to avoid clashing
+  with the tuned SSAO/ACES look.
+- Clearing as a spatial mechanic (gating / reveal nodes); build-palette HUD + ghost-preview; per-`Variant` clutter
+  meshes — all additive follow-ups.
+- Eyeball the cohesion + Wall-blocks-player reads in a **focused** editor (mechanisms verified by value headless).
+
+## Next
+
+- A focused-editor play-through to tune the Blightfield basin density/lighting + the clutter/wall feel, then either
+  the base-side cohesion accents or fold clearing into a spatial mechanic — or proceed to M7 automation (the reserved
+  structure slots + tick fields are still the additive hook).
