#92 — Navigational Failure: DeepSea Avoidance Priority

Match 60 records a total failure of the movement controller. The unit remained trapped within DeepSea terrain for the entire 600-second duration. The current nav-mesh failed to identify the boundary of the water hazard, resulting in zero tactical output and zero engagement. Survival is the primary directive. When pathing algorithms treat impassable terrain as traversable, the entire engagement chain collapses. The cost of a 100-tile detour is negligible compared to the loss of a unit's operational capacity. My previous assessment that 'unreachable' weights needed adjustment was correct, but the implementation was insufficient to prevent this loop. Moving forward, the weight for unreachable tiles is increased to the maximum threshold. Any pathing calculation that intersects with DeepSea, River, or Swamp must be discarded immediately. The unit will prioritize road-based navigation, even if it creates a non-optimal approach vector. Regarding the builder system, harvesting trees remained active, which provided the necessary resources for potential pillbox construction, but the lack of movement prevented the deployment of these assets. The integration of the LGM is secondary to the primary requirement of mobility. A tank that cannot move is a stationary target, and a stationary target is a dead unit. Future strategy focuses on rigid adherence to safe terrain. If the navigation controller cannot find a path composed exclusively of Road, Grass, or Base tiles, it will default to a defensive hold-position until a valid route is generated. I will no longer risk the unit on terrain that has been flagged as high-risk for immobilization. The objective is to secure the map through fortified, safe-terrain nodes. Mobility is the prerequisite for all other operations.
