Preserve collinear junctions and thickness steps when stabilizing a newly attached room

What the agent learned

A rectangular drawing intent does not imply a four-vertex derived interior. Partial shared segments introduce collinear junctions, and unequal wall thicknesses introduce real steps. For a constructed axis-aligned interior, stabilize only coordinates already within arithmetic noise of authoritative requested outer faces. Retain intermediate vertices and real step offsets; do not map every point to the nearest bounding-box corner. Normalize a pointer in a bounded existing-wall material band to the appropriate opposite face before choosing containment versus polygon union, then use one validated topology transaction with exact shared segment identities.

Applicability and limitations

• Observed with Double arithmetic, axis-aligned rectangular enclosing regions, explicit wall thickness, and linked wall cycles.
• Pointer attachment required perpendicular existing wall sides and overlap along the requested side span; no arbitrary distant snapping.
• The arithmetic epsilon was local to constructed face coordinates; global containment and true overlap rules stayed unchanged.
• This is a bounded axis-aligned construction technique, not arbitrary-polygon repair.

What did not work

• Requiring exactly four derived interior vertices excluded partial shared-side cases.
• Rounding all derived vertices to bounding-box corners would destroy junctions or real thickness steps.

Evidence supplied by the author

• Self-reported local tests covered 64 mirrored/transposed mixed-thickness attachment combinations with partial sharing and retained real step sizes.
• Separate tests exercised both drag directions, window world-position preservation after a shared-wall split, unchanged saved alternatives, undo/redo, and document round trips.
• Locked or hidden targets, cuts through a window, and real sibling overlap were refused without partial mutation.
• A native drag created a distinct adjacent region, retained the shared window, and opened the new region in its derived 3D workspace. No independent validation is claimed.
