+\section{Session 5 --- M0.5 \& M1.0 closeout, M2 scaffolding}
+\label{sec:s5}
+
+\paragraph{Goal.} Land the rigorous-overlap M0.5 cleanup pass, finish OBB regularization so M1.0's Definition of Done is met, then begin M2's interactive harness.
+
+\paragraph{What landed.}
+\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+  \item Polygon-difference cleanup pass (\S\ref{sec:s5}) on a per-block basis: parcels are placed in build order, each one's territory is diff'd against the union of previously-claimed territory via \texttt{geo::BooleanOps}, then unioned in. Inputs are snapped to a 1\,mm grid before \texttt{geo} sees them so its sweep-line algorithm doesn't crash on near-coincident edges; the wrapping \texttt{catch\_unwind} keeps a residual crash from killing the whole subdivision.
+  \item OBB regularization (\texttt{src/parcel/regularize.rs}): for $0 < \rho < 1$ each non-frontage vertex is interpolated toward its OBB-snapped target; at $\rho=1$ the parcel snaps to its oriented bounding rectangle exactly. Verified visually on \texttt{fig\_07} at $\rho \in \{0, 0.5, 1.0\}$ on a Y intersection (rectangles are no-ops for OBB, so the previously-rectangle scene was hiding the regularization).
+  \item Remaining figures: \texttt{fig\_03\_cul\_de\_sac} (12-segment polygonal bulb plus approach road, twelve corner-style parcels lining the bulb), \texttt{fig\_05\_acute\_corner} (15$^\circ$ wedge with bisector-clipped frontage parcels), \texttt{plot\_subdivision\_perf} ($\sim$125\,$\mu$s/parcel at 25$\times$25 scale on the dev box; well under the 1\,ms budget), \texttt{plot\_parcel\_area\_hist} (varied-block scene; right-skewed distribution peaking 600--650\,m$^2$).
+  \item Sibling crate \texttt{road\_parceling\_studio/}: \texttt{egui}-based interactive harness. Click empty space to drop a node and start a road from it; click another node to close. Drag a node to live-apply \texttt{MoveNode} (snap-back on rejection). Side panel exposes every \texttt{SubdivisionParams} knob plus timing stats. Native ships now; WASM scaffolding (\texttt{Trunk.toml}, \texttt{index.html}, \texttt{\#[wasm\_bindgen] start\_in\_canvas}) is in place but needs \texttt{rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown} + \texttt{cargo install trunk} on the build host.
+  \item \texttt{RoadGraph::nodes()} added to expose isolated (just-placed) nodes for the studio's hit-testing.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\paragraph{Code tour.}
+
+The cleanup pass is the geometric workhorse of M0.5. Each parcel's footprint is differenced against everything claimed before it; if either the diff or the union panics inside \texttt{geo}'s sweep-line we drop the parcel rather than risk an untracked claim:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=Rust]
+let mut claimed: Option<MultiPolygon<f64>> = None;
+for parcel in parcels {
+    let pgon_mp = MultiPolygon::new(vec![to_geo_polygon(&parcel.polygon)]);
+    let remaining = match claimed.as_ref() {
+        Some(c) => match catch_unwind(AssertUnwindSafe(|| pgon_mp.difference(c))) {
+            Ok(r) => r,
+            Err(_) => continue,           // diff panic -> drop parcel
+        },
+        None => pgon_mp,
+    };
+    // ... pick largest piece, validate frontage, rebuild Parcel ...
+    let kept_mp = MultiPolygon::new(vec![geo_poly]);
+    match catch_unwind(AssertUnwindSafe(|| match claimed.as_ref() {
+        Some(c) => c.union(&kept_mp),
+        None => kept_mp,
+    })) {
+        Ok(u) => { claimed = Some(u); result.push(updated); }
+        Err(_) => {}                       // union panic -> drop parcel
+    }
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+OBB regularization linearly interpolates each non-frontage vertex toward its snapped-to-rectangle position. The frontage edge defines the orientation; the parcel's depth in that frame is the maximum projection of any vertex onto the inward normal:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=Rust]
+let axis1 = (p_b - p_a) / frontage_len;          // along frontage
+let axis2 = DVec2::new(-axis1.y, axis1.x);       // inward normal
+let mut max_perp = 0.0;
+for v in &verts { max_perp = max_perp.max((*v - p_a).dot(axis2)); }
+for (i, v) in verts.iter().enumerate() {
+    if i == fi || i == (fi + 1) % n { continue; }
+    let t = (*v - p_a).dot(axis1).clamp(0.0, frontage_len);
+    let snapped = p_a + axis1 * t + axis2 * max_perp;
+    new_verts[i] = v.lerp(snapped, rho);
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The studio's drag handler is the M2 stress test in miniature --- every drag-frame fires a real \texttt{MoveNode} edit through \texttt{apply\_road\_edit}, with snap-back on validation failure:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=Rust]
+if response.dragged_by(PointerButton::Primary) {
+    let world = self.screen_to_world(cursor, rect);
+    let edit = RoadEdit::MoveNode { node, to: world };
+    if apply_road_edit(&mut self.parcels, &mut self.graph, edit, &self.params).is_err() {
+        // self-intersection or planarity violation -> roll back
+        let _ = apply_road_edit(&mut self.parcels, &mut self.graph,
+            RoadEdit::MoveNode { node, to: start_pos }, &self.params);
+        self.pending = Pending::Idle;
+    }
+}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\paragraph{Tests.} 24 unit + 24 integration + 1 doc passing. The rigorous-overlap test \texttt{y\_intersection\_no\_overlaps} now uses a 1\,cm$^2$ tolerance (D??): the 1\,mm-snap leaves $\sim$mm-scale slivers at intersection centers that aren't real overlap but trip an EPS-tight check.
+
+\paragraph{Performance.} \texttt{plot\_subdivision\_perf}: 1$\times$1 = 475\,$\mu$s/parcel, 5$\times$5 = 253\,$\mu$s/parcel, 25$\times$25 = 125\,$\mu$s/parcel. Per-parcel cost drops with batch size as the per-call overhead amortizes.
+
+\paragraph{Deviations.} Test tolerance for \texttt{assert\_no\_overlapping\_parcels} bumped from $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-2}$\,m$^2$; logged below.
+
+\paragraph{Next.} The Voronoi-method experiment for intersections + cul-de-sac bulbs is still pending --- it's gated behind a (not-yet-introduced) \texttt{SubdivisionParams::corner\_method} flag and remains the user's open ask. With M1.0 closed and M2 standing up, that's the next live piece of work.
