+# Uncontrolled steady pinball: development protocol
+
+Frozen before results: 1280 x 512 D2Q9/FP32/MRT, unshifted double buffer;
+rho=1, mean U=.01, nu=.004, D=20, Re_D=50. Centres are (600,255.5),
+(626,270.5), (626,240.5), radius10. No upstream cylinder. Passive probes stay
+at (800,295.5), (800,255.5), (800,215.5), radius5. Every omega is zero.
+Parabolic inlet, regularized NEQ damping1; y bounce-back planes .5/510.5;
+NEQ-extrapolated outlet with backflow clamp (the configured blend is inactive in
+this MRT route). Initial fluid is
+parabolic equilibrium. Fixed warmup is 4 NX/U=512000 steps.
+
+Geometry and fluid parameters follow DynamisLab 609116ec26f19766f5e9ce2b0df427d4e24faae8,
+`legacy_test/core/legacy_env_builder.py:build_steady_cloak` and the retained
+`config_lbm_pinball_legacy_re50d_u001.json`. This is a modern Celeris reconstruction,
+not a bitwise Legacy reproduction: Legacy uses shifted incompressible MRT, a
+different curved interpolation and prescribed parabolic outlet velocity. Current
+Celeris uses standard MRT, two-branch BFL and extrapolated outlet velocity.
+The fixed-hold control uses the SAME modern settings as the free case.
+
+## Shared translation and ownership
+
+`Translation(..., shared=True)` is explicitly transverse only. Reusing one
+envelope INSTANCE declares common motion; equal but separate envelopes are not
+linked. Before initialization and every positive Simulation.run, group members
+must have identical applied offsets, effective target offsets and interval wall
+velocities. Stage each member with set_body, then call run(1) once. An incomplete
+or inconsistent target group is rejected before device uploads and can be fixed.
+Existing pending-target direct-stepper restrictions remain.
+
+Only members of that group may have overlapping whole swept bands. Their fixed
+surface clearance must exceed4 lattice cells. This conservative bound exceeds
+2 sqrt(2)+MAX_STEP = 3.329: M1 changed cells lie in old/new disks and read one-link
+neighbors; M2 reads at most two links outside its new disk. Old/new relative
+displacement is at most .5. Thus reads cannot reach another member's old/new
+solid or M1 write region. M1 writes are disjoint. M2 writes opposite population
+slots inside its own new disk, also disjoint. Separate first_slot ranges still
+allocate each body's logical band/debug storage. Shared band cells alone do not
+write anything: M1 returns unless membership changes; M2 returns unless a cut
+link exists. Unrelated moving/static body and probe overlaps still reject.
+
+This is a sufficient restricted-group condition, not support for near-contact
+or independent motion. The r4, distance8.3, dy=.5 counterexample remains rejected.
+CPU tests enumerate candidate donors/write footprints over subcell phases;
+GPU tests compare fixed vs hold and member-order permutations through crossings
+at wall speed .01 over the full +/-D envelope (8000 steps). The initial .5-speed
+fixture failed with NaNs; a single-circle control also failed at step69. That
+Mach~.866 fixture was unsuitable as a low-Mach numerical gate. Its failure is
+retained; the geometric MAX_STEP proof is unchanged, not a stability guarantee.
+CUDA kernels and arithmetic are unchanged.
+
+## New structural parameters (not inherited from the paper)
+
+One transverse state y,v; total assembly M=10 rho (3 pi D^2/4)=9424.77796,
+fn=U/(5D)=.0001, Tn=10000, zeta=.01, K=M(2 pi fn)^2,
+C=2 zeta M(2 pi fn). Initial y=v=0, no seed or later kick. Force is the sum
+of the three instantaneous CME_y+Wen_y values from the previous fluid step;
+node impulses are logged separately and never added. The damped oscillator is
+integrated exactly for that piecewise-constant force over dt=1. Wall velocity
+is y[n+1]-y[n], not the endpoint oscillator velocity. No filtering or retuning.
+
+Observe600000 steps=60Tn=300 D/U after warmup, in each of free and fixed-hold
+cases. Final20Tn is a descriptive comparison window; ten-Tn blocks expose drift.
+No settled/periodic claim follows merely from reaching the cap. Stop on |y|>D,
+nonfinite values, no_donor, rejected displacement or speed>.05. Report any quiet
+response honestly. No automatic extension. --smoke uses32 warmup+32 steps only.
+
+Native-step rows retain y,v, each body's CME/Wen/node terms and refill counters;
+each600000x15 FP64 file is72MB. No full-field output or policy training. Compile
+and run on one device serially, keep original outputs and dirty trees untouched.
+This stage makes no claim of physical grid convergence or vibration suppression.
+
+Run from checkout with PYTHONPATH=src and the existing Python environment:
+`python research/steady_pinball/run.py --smoke --out <new-external-directory>`
+then separately `--out <new-free-directory>` and `--fixed --out <new-fixed-directory>`.
+
+## Zero-damping development follow-up (predeclared 2026-10-31)
+
+The original d0bcefa run and its zeta=.01 results remain historical evidence.
+The current runner exposes three fixed `--case` choices, all with C=0 as requested:
+
+| Case | M / (rho 3 pi D^2/4) | fn | M | K | Purpose |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
+| Z0 | 10 | .0001 | 9424.77796 | .00372075320 | Remove damping only |
+| M2 | 2 | .0001 | 1884.95559 | .000744150640 | Reduce mass and stiffness together at fixed fn |
+| R2 | 2 | .00006 | 1884.95559 | .000267894231 | Change stiffness only relative to M2 |
+
+R2 deliberately places fn at the retained fixed-body lift peak, f=.00006
+(St=.12 on mean U). This is an informed development choice, not independent
+physical validation or a promise of lock-in. All geometries, fluid settings,
+512000-step fixed warmup, y0=v0=0, force time level and unfiltered RHS are unchanged.
+No run result may select a replacement parameter or an automatic extension.
+
+Each case has a 600000-step cap, the same 300 D/U physical duration. This equals
+60 natural periods for Z0/M2 and 36 for R2. Compare the common final200000 native
+steps, and six100000-step blocks, retaining actual natural/response frequencies
+and ongoing drift. Do not call those blocks ten R2 periods. No settled-VIV claim
+follows from a larger displacement. Report all three outcomes, including quiet
+responses or stopped cases, alongside the existing fixed and damped-free records.
+
+Unchanged stops: |y|>D, invalid move/speed, nonfinite values or no_donor. A 1800s
+per-case wall cap and GPU headroom check bound resource use. Preserve partial rows;
+do not add damping, clip trajectories, filter forces, or relax any stop. Each
+case adds72MB of scalar history, no full fields. The separate Legacy/modern
+baseline diagnosis does not change this FSI protocol.

+# Research VIV driver — coupling contract (not production)
+
+`run.py` couples a 1-DOF undamped spring–mass (`viv.py`) to the production
+moving-circle API. Everything specific to fluid–structure coupling lives here,
+not in `src/`.
+
+- Per step: known (y_n, v_n) and the last completed force F_last → exact
+  harmonic candidate (y_{n+1}, v_{n+1}) → `set_body(offset=(0, y_{n+1}),
+  vy=y_{n+1} − y_n)` (interval wall velocity, lattice dt = 1) → `run(1)` →
+  commit y, v and F_last only after the step succeeded. One step of explicit
+  force lag (weak coupling); no sub-iteration.
+- Structural RHS = CME + Wen (y), read from `moving_diagnostics()` by the
+  names in `MovingTables.DIAG`; raw CME, the `obs` force and node terms are
+  logged as diagnostics. This is a stage choice, not a validated force law.
+- Production guarantees used: fail-closed target commit (synchronized step,
+  `no_donor == 0`), input rejection before mutation, a failed device step
+  marks the Simulation failed.
+- Not provided, by design: device-resident structure state or batched
+  (multi-step) coupling, strong/sub-iterated coupling (would need state
+  rollback), more than one DOF. These are future work and would be a separate
+  execution path, not an abstraction over this driver.
+- Recorded result and limits: `docs/validation/moving_bodies_stage1.md`;
+  predeclaration: `docs/validation/viv_re150_predeclare.md`.
