Breeze mid's round wall. Before: 5,026 corners. After: 564.

The round wall in Breeze mid was stored as thousands of corners, about 0.03 units apart. A cone pays for every corner it can see, so cones near curved walls were the slowest left after #252. This PR redraws traced curves with the corners their shape needs. Breeze attack's walls drop from 13,500 points to 4,273, Pearl attack's from 17,707 to 4,024 and Summit attack's from 25,563 to 5,409.

Measured in the real web app, signed in to production with a test account, dragging a full-length cone three times around that wall (about 1,880 frames per run, two runs each):

Per-frame cone work p50 p90 p99 Most corners in one cone
main 1.2–1.3 ms 3.3–3.5 ms 4.8–5.6 ms 914
this PR 0.9–1.3 ms 1.3–1.7 ms 1.8–2.4 ms 195

The cone looks the same. Old on the left, new on the right, at the end of the drag; no pixel in the crop differs.

Same cone, old and new models

How the walls change

A new step in the vision-pipeline archive, scripts/riot/simplify_walls.py, runs after build_art.py. It only touches a wall when simplifying at least halves the wall's points and saves 16 or more. That picks out the traced curves, about 20 walls on each heavy map. Abyss and Ascent attack come out byte-identical.

A wall it touches is simplified to within 0.005 units, then grown by 0.005. The grown wall covers every edge of the old one, so every ray the old wall stopped, the new one stops too. Cracks between two walls can only close. No point of a new outline is more than 0.01 units from the old wall. The script checks the whole outline against that envelope and keeps the wall as it was otherwise. Heights, floors and ids don't change.

I tried simplifying without growing first. It moves edges both ways, and two neighbouring walls could open a hairline crack between them. Growing every simplified wall, curved or not, added a little shadow on every map (0.08% of directions on Ascent, which has no curves), which is why the step skips walls that don't halve.

Checks

  • All 26 map sides, the 360° cut from every standable spot on an 8-unit grid (33,000 spots), old and new compared along 20,000 directions each. No direction anywhere sees farther. At most 0.045% of directions on a map side see less (by more than 0.25 units). The largest change at any one spot is a 4.5° sliver on Lotus attack that now ends 0.1 units from the eye instead of 1.1.
  • Native, worst 1% of 360° cuts (the replay viewer's): Pearl attack 3.8 → 0.8 ms, Summit attack 3.1 → 1.0 ms, Breeze defense 2.9 → 0.8 ms.
  • The archived acceptance suite of reviewed sightlines and openings fails the same 103 checks on main and on this branch, and passes the same 300. Those 103 predate the switch to Riot's lines in Block cones on VALORANT's minimap lines, drawn on our walls #242.
  • flutter test on every vision and map test (224) passes, including the model checksum pin, updated here on purpose. The Haven hole test now also checks that an agent placed in the hole stays there, so a wall grown into a hole fails it.
  • Sampling every new outline every 0.001 units, the farthest any point strays from its old wall is 0.00999 (354 walls changed).
  • Astra reviewed it and independently confirmed, on all 26 sides, that every changed wall covers all its old edges and the other walls are byte-identical. It caught that my first bound only checked corners (six walls bowed out to 0.0115 between them), fixed in the second commit. It also flagged that the script's shape helper would fill a hole in a nonzero-fill wall; no bundled wall has one, and the script now refuses them.

Not covered

  • Lotus defense keeps three self-crossing walls whose new outline wouldn't cover all their old edges, so they stay as they were and that side gains less (12,792 → 5,219 points).
  • I didn't rerun the 3D truth check (leak and false-shadow length). The coverage rule rules out new leaks by construction, and the extra shadow is the 0.045% above.
  • Where an agent is dropped onto thin strokes, the nudge that steps it onto the floor can give up and the cone vanishes. Main does this at 3 to 40 grid spots per map side; these walls alone add 2 to 36 per side. Stand a dragged agent on the nearest standable floor when stepping out of the ink fails #257, stacked on this PR, stands the agent on the nearest standable floor instead; with both, nothing main places is lost except 4 of 1.3 million grid drops (three with their floor at the edge of the 2.5 reach, one a speck whose cone paints under a square unit), 3,672 more spots get a cone, and dragging around Breeze mid's round wall has a frame-build p99 of 0.95–1.51 ms against main's 2.29–2.53, measured alternately. Stand a dragged agent on the nearest standable floor when stepping out of the ink fails #257 carries this PR's commits and lands both in one deploy.
  • Desktop frame timing isn't re-measured here. Native cut times above are from the query itself.

This changes the shipped wall data, so I'm leaving the merge to you.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Curved walls were traced with a point every ~0.03 units: the round wall in
Breeze mid was nearly a thousand points on a radius-9 circle. A cone pays
for every corner it can see, so full-circle cuts on Pearl, Summit and Breeze
took 3-4 ms natively and editor cones up to ~9 ms in Dart on the web.

The models are rebuilt with the archive's new scripts/riot/simplify_walls.py
(run after build_art.py). A wall is redrawn only when simplifying halves its
points: it is simplified to within 0.005 and grown by 0.005, so it covers
every edge it had (no new leaks, no cracks) and moves out at most 0.01.
Heights, floors and ids are unchanged. docs/vision-model.md records the
rule and the checks; the model checksums are updated.

Walkthrough

The vision-model documentation now describes curve simplification criteria, preservation checks, and reported results. The bundled model test comment identifies the archived pipeline, and its pinned SHA-256 values have changed.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e4e79

A maintainer following the documented commit would miss the simplification step and fail to reproduce the currently pinned models. Updating the build provenance is a bounded documentation fix; the bundled assets match their pins.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the "Built by" paragraph to include simplify_walls.py.

This paragraph says the models are built by build_art.py at commit 0497bec. The new section at Lines 860-861 says simplify_walls.py now runs after build_art.py, and the test comment names both scripts. A reader who follows this paragraph will rebuild the models without the simplification step. The result will not match the pinned checksums. Name the second script, and update the commit reference if it changed.

Review found six walls whose outlines bowed up to 0.0115 units out between
corners. The simplifier now checks the whole outline against a 0.01
envelope around the old wall and keeps the wall as it was otherwise; four
models change. The Haven hole test now also checks an agent placed in the
hole stays there, which fails if a wall grows into it.

SunkenInTime added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 7, 2026
Two review rounds found the candidate search standing agents in tiny floor
pockets, or a unit away on another side of a wall when nearer floor was
valid: offsets from edges are not a complete picture of where an agent can
stand. Placing an agent well among thin strokes needs the standable floor
itself, a larger change proposed separately.

What stays is the fix that only lets the existing steps finish: up to eight
steps instead of four, and the last one's landing checked. Every agent main
places lands where it did; 2 to 47 more spots per map side get a cone, each
within 0.015 of the nearest standable spot; and with #256's walls, the spots
#256 alone loses come back.
