Interface KernelContext

Phase 12: ambient energy grid. Maps terrain cell keys to ambient energy fraction (Q, 0..1). Used by CapabilitySource regenModel "ambient" — regen rate scales with cell value. Ley lines, geothermal vents, solar collectors, stellar wind.

Phase 10: ambient temperature (Q 0..1). Comfort range: [q(0.35), q(0.65)]. Above q(0.65) → heat stress (shock + surface damage); below q(0.35) → cold stress (shock + fatigue). Entity attributes heatTolerance and coldTolerance scale the dose.

Phase 68: biome physics overrides. When present, adjusts gravity (jump height, traction), thermal resistance, sound propagation, and velocity drag for all entities this tick. When absent, standard Earth-surface physics apply.

Phase 6: height above ground level per cell (SCALE.m units). Affects melee reach and projectile range.

Phase 6: dynamic hazard cells (fire, radiation, poison_gas). Damage applied per tick.

Phase 6: impassable and partial-cover cells. q(1.0) = fully impassable; q(0.5) = 50% cover.

Phase 4: ambient sensory conditions. Defaults to DEFAULT_SENSORY_ENV (full daylight, clear).

Phase 6: per-cell slope direction and grade. Modifies effective sprint speed.

When true, enforce strict deterministic world invariants at pipeline checkpoints.

Phase 11: technology context. When provided, gates which items are available. Does not directly affect simulation physics — use validateLoadout() before stepWorld to verify that the entity's loadout is era-appropriate.

Phase 6: per-cell terrain grid. When provided, traction is looked up by entity position.

Phase 12B: terrain tag grid. Maps cell keys to arrays of string tags; used by CapabilitySource "event" regenModel { on: "terrain"; tag: string } triggers — fires once per cell-boundary crossing.

Phase 29: ambient temperature in the Phase 29 Q encoding. q(0.5) = 37°C (comfortable); cToQ(0) ≈ -1852 (0°C); cToQ(30) ≈ 3704 (30°C). When absent, stepCoreTemp is not called and core temperature is not updated.

Phase 51: current weather conditions. When present, deriveWeatherModifiers() applies per-tick modifiers to tractionCoeff, sensoryEnv, thermalAmbient_Q, and ranged aim error. When absent, weather has no effect (backward-compatible).
