ROOT CAUSE: every "nearest" resolver in dbg.js sorted by distance from the WORLD ORIGIN. That's the town
centre only on a synthetic plan -- a real OSM town is projected about its cache's bbox centre while its shops
cluster hundreds of metres away, so bookmarks teleported into arbitrary far-flung geometry, exactly as G
reported. Measured origin-pick distance from the retail heart: katoomba 408m, newtown 626m, fremantle 371m.
FIX: resolve bookmarks about the town's DENSEST SHOP CLUSTER (grid-bin shop lots at 120m; heaviest bin's
centroid = the retail heart) instead of the origin -- byDist, lotsByDist, streetViewPose, stopPose, and
crossroadsPose's tie-break.
GATED on the REAL-ROADS signal (edges > 200) -- the same primitive as the R20 tram fence -- so synthetic and
the marched fixtures keep their exact origin-centred behaviour and F's release-tour control shot cannot move.
The gate is load-bearing, not cosmetic: synthetic's anchor is only 117m out but it DOES re-pick (Anglibarn Op
Shop -> Dusty Pages), so an unconditional switch would have silently moved the control. Same reason the new
crossroadsPose tie-break is gated (a degree tie would otherwise resolve differently on synthetic).
Verified across the town set: synthetic(22 edges)/melbourne(15)/katoomba-fixture(15)/silverton(1) -> origin,
UNCHANGED; newtown_godverse(1626) -> anchor(98,-629); katoomba_real(993) -> anchor(-227,-625). G's own town
is fixed.
Result on katoomba: shopfront bookmarks went from ~408m adrift to <=42m of the retail heart (arcade 7m,
milkbar_dusk/patronage_door/shopfront_detail 24m, market_square 26m, dig_real 42m); strip views ~195m on the
high street; venue_night/queue_night ~345m (A's venue placement, not the bookmark). All 19 resolve, 0 errors;
synthetic 19/19 unchanged. warehouse_fringe sits 3,074m out -- correct by design (it's the far:true fringe
shot; on a 5km town the fringe genuinely is 3km away).
-> F (ledger #4, the shared posing primitive): published on the harness as DBG.townAnchor {x,z,n,anchored,ref}
(the retail heart + whether it's in use) and DBG.clusterPose(kinds) (stand on the road at the densest
cluster, look along it). Your cluster-pose finding as a dbg.js-consumable -- the tour and the bookmarks now
resolve through the SAME primitive, so a tour shot and its bookmark can't drift apart.
