Shared-vertex registry on ParcelSet (no-drift guarantee)

The first half of the eventual full DCEL — vertex identity. Every
parcel polygon vertex now resolves to a stable VertexId via a
spatial-hash lookup at EPS_GEOM resolution. Coincident positions
across two parcels resolve to the same VertexId, so adjacent
parcels share one physical vertex.

ParcelSet::move_vertex(vid, new_pos) updates the registry's
position AND writes through to every parcel's polygon at the
recorded index. Adjacent parcels' shared boundaries can never drift
apart — they are the same vertex, mutated once.

The deform pipeline now propose-then-apply: deform_parcel_after_road_move
returns proposed (VertexId, new_pos) moves rather than mutating in
place. The outer loop validates each parcel's hypothetical
post-move polygon, then applies all proposed moves via
move_vertex. Conflicting proposals on the same vertex are
last-one-wins, but in practice the deform parameterization makes
all referrers agree by construction.

New regression test: shared_vertex_no_drift_under_repeated_edits.
50 small random node moves plus an inverse; asserts every shared
boundary vertex is bit-for-bit identical across every parcel that
references it.

Edge identity (parcel-layer half-edges) is the next milestone — it
enables split/merge ergonomics. Vertex identity alone is enough
for the no-drift contract this session was scoped to deliver.

Journal §11 session 4 entry adds D17 (registry), D18
(write-through), D19 (propose-then-apply), and the milestone-0.5
queue.

+\subsection{2026-04-25 --- Session 4: Shared-vertex registry
+(no-drift guarantee)}
+\label{sec:session-4}
+
+\paragraph{Goal of the session.}
+The user asked the right load-bearing question: ``are edges shared
+objects between parcels?'' Up to this point the answer was no — each
+\texttt{Parcel} stored its own \texttt{Polygon} (a \texttt{Vec<DVec2>})
+and adjacent parcels carried separate copies of their shared
+boundary line that just happened to coincide geometrically. That
+works for clean-room subdivision, but the moment we stack edits, two
+copies of the ``same'' vertex can drift apart by floating-point
+noise. With the long-term plan of agents splitting and merging
+parcels, drift is a hard no.
+
+This session installs the first half of the eventual full DCEL — a
+\emph{shared-vertex registry} on \texttt{ParcelSet}. Each polygon
+vertex now resolves to a stable \texttt{VertexId}; coincident
+positions resolve to the same \texttt{VertexId} via a spatial-hash
+lookup; mutations propagate through every parcel that references
+the vertex via \texttt{ParcelSet::move\_vertex}. Edge identity
+(parcel-layer half-edges) is a follow-up; vertex identity alone is
+enough to deliver the no-drift contract.
+
+\paragraph{Decisions locked in this session.}
+
+\begin{decision}[D17, 2026-04-25 -- Shared-vertex registry on
+\texttt{ParcelSet}]
+\texttt{ParcelSet} owns a \texttt{SlotMap<VertexId, VertexRecord>}
+plus a \texttt{HashMap<(i64, i64), Vec<VertexId>>} spatial index
+keyed at \(\varepsilon_{\text{geom}}\) resolution. On parcel
+insertion every polygon vertex is snapped to the registry — if a
+vertex within \(\varepsilon_{\text{geom}}\) already exists, the
+parcel reuses that \texttt{VertexId}; otherwise a new entry is
+created. Each \texttt{VertexRecord} carries a back-reference list
+of \texttt{(ParcelId, vertex\_index)} pairs.
+\end{decision}
+
+\begin{decision}[D18, 2026-04-25 -- \texttt{move\_vertex}
+write-through propagation]
+\texttt{ParcelSet::move\_vertex(vid, new\_pos)} updates the
+registry's stored position \emph{and} writes the new position into
+every referring parcel's polygon at the recorded index. Adjacent
+parcels' shared boundaries can never drift apart — they are the
+same physical vertex, mutated once.
+\end{decision}
+
+\begin{decision}[D19, 2026-04-25 -- Deform pipeline is
+propose-then-apply]
+\texttt{deform\_parcel\_after\_road\_move} no longer mutates the
+parcel — it returns a list of proposed
+\texttt{(VertexId, new\_pos)} moves alongside its
+\texttt{Deformed} / \texttt{Untouched} / \texttt{Condemned} /
+\texttt{Regenerate} verdict. The outer loop validates each parcel,
+collects all proposed moves, and applies them via
+\texttt{move\_vertex} after the verdicts are in. Conflicting
+proposals on the same vertex are last-one-wins, but in practice the
+deform parameterization makes all referrers agree by construction.
+\end{decision}
+
+\paragraph{What landed.}
+
+\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+  \item \texttt{parcel/mod.rs}: \texttt{VertexId},
+  \texttt{VertexRecord}, registry slot maps, the spatial-hash
+  bucket, \texttt{find\_or\_create\_vertex},
+  \texttt{vertex\_position}, \texttt{vertex\_refs}, and
+  \texttt{move\_vertex}. \texttt{ParcelSet::insert} now snaps each
+  polygon vertex into the registry; \texttt{ParcelSet::remove}
+  unregisters them.
+  \item \texttt{Polygon::set\_vertex\_unchecked}: an in-place
+  vertex update that bypasses I1 validation. The shared-vertex
+  registry calls it during \texttt{move\_vertex} (caller is
+  responsible for validating the resulting polygon — the deform
+  pipeline does this in its propose phase).
+  \item \texttt{parcel/deform.rs}: the move-node path is now
+  propose-then-apply. \texttt{DeformResult::Deformed} carries the
+  proposed vertex moves; the outer loop applies them at the end.
+  \item \texttt{tests/degenerate.rs::shared\_vertex\_no\_drift\_under\_repeated\_edits}
+  — runs 50 random small node moves against a rectangle, plus an
+  inverse, then asserts that every shared boundary point is
+  bit-for-bit identical across every parcel that references it.
+  Strict floating-point equality, not within \(\varepsilon\).
+\end{itemize}
+
+\paragraph{Deviations from spec.}
+
+\subsubsection*{2026-04-25 --- \texttt{vertex\_ids} field on
+\texttt{Parcel}}
+
+What changed: \texttt{Parcel} gained a parallel
+\texttt{vertex\_ids: Vec<VertexId>} field alongside
+\texttt{polygon}. The field is \texttt{pub(crate)} and populated
+by \texttt{ParcelSet::insert}; outside callers keep using
+\texttt{polygon} / \texttt{vertices} unchanged.
+
+Why: spec §6.2 names the public surface of \texttt{Parcel} but not
+its internal fields. Adding \texttt{vertex\_ids} preserves the API
+while giving the registry the back-reference it needs without
+costing a separate lookup.
+
+Affected sections: \cref{sec:architecture} (internal data layout
+only).
+
+\subsubsection*{2026-04-25 --- Registry orphans are GC-deferred}
+
+What changed: when a parcel is removed, its references are pulled
+out of every \texttt{VertexRecord}'s \texttt{refs} list, but
+records that end up with empty refs are left in the registry. They
+get reused when a future insert lands within
+\(\varepsilon_{\text{geom}}\) of them.
+
+Why: the spatial hash key is keyed at
+\(\varepsilon_{\text{geom}}\) resolution, so reusing the same
+\texttt{VertexId} is the desired behaviour for back-and-forth edits
+(insert, remove, re-insert at the same spot keeps the same id).
+Garbage collection at remove-time would force the next insert to
+re-snap and produce a new id, breaking that property. A periodic
+sweep is in the milestone-0.5 backlog.
+
+Affected sections: none (internal).
+
+\paragraph{Verifiable guarantee.}
+\texttt{shared\_vertex\_no\_drift\_under\_repeated\_edits} encodes
+the contract: across many edits with arbitrary deltas, parcels that
+share a boundary vertex see bit-for-bit identical positions for
+that vertex. This holds because they read from the same registry
+record on each query — there is no separate per-parcel copy of the
+position to drift.
+
+\paragraph{What's next --- milestone 0.5 queue.}
+
+\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
+  \item Layer half-edge / DCEL edge identity on top of the
+  vertex registry. Each parcel-layer edge gets a stable id; pairs
+  of consecutive shared vertices automatically constitute a shared
+  edge. This unlocks ``find the parcel on the other side of this
+  edge'' in O(1) and is the substrate for split/merge.
+  \item Parcel \emph{merge}: given two parcels that share an edge,
+  unify them into one whose boundary is the symmetric difference.
+  Trivial once edge identity exists; very awkward without.
+  \item Parcel \emph{split}: introduce a new edge crossing a
+  parcel's interior; partition the boundary at the split's
+  endpoints. Also clean once edges have identity.
+  \item Registry GC sweep — drop empty \texttt{VertexRecord}s and
+  their spatial-hash entries periodically (every Nth edit, or on
+  request). Mostly a memory hygiene concern.
+  \item True sliver-merge for acute corners (carried over from
+  milestone 0.3's queue).
+  \item Curved-road depth clamping (carried over).
+\end{enumerate}
+
