-Every region uses the same ownership groups:
+The imported GLB is visual source content and remains at identity scale. The
+wrapper creates concave static collision from its explicit mesh reference and
+owns all water, fishing, recovery, spawn, and service placement.
 
-- `Visuals`: replaceable graybox meshes and labels.
-- `StaticCollision`: simple gameplay collision paired with the visuals.
-- `FishingWater`: explicit `FishableWaterRegion` children.
-- `WaterRecovery`: explicit `PlayerWaterTrigger` children.
-- `SafeRespawns`: known-safe `SafeRespawnPoint` markers.
-- `Interactables`: region-owned services, currently used by the village.
-
-`GrayboxRegion` only exposes those explicit child groups plus a stable region
-ID. `TestWorld` is the aggregation boundary; regions do not select fish,
-control recovery, own progression, register globally, or stream themselves.
-
-## Safe editing
-
-Move a whole region by moving its region root under `TestWorld/Regions`. This
-keeps visuals, collision, water, recovery triggers, safe points, and
-interactables synchronized. Moving only a visual mesh does not move collision
-or gameplay volumes, so update its paired collision intentionally when editing
-inside a region.
-
-Safe designer targets:
-
-- Entire region roots under `TestWorld/Regions`
-- Children of `Visuals`, together with paired `StaticCollision`
-- Safe-respawn marker transforms
-- Landmark and label transforms
-- Connector transforms and their complete StaticBody children
-
-Structural land and route blocks extend from the common walkable elevation at
-`y=0` down to approximately `y=-6`. Adjacent blocks meet at deliberate shared
-edges instead of stacking collision surfaces. Decorative plaza/path color is
-non-colliding and sits just above the authoritative ground.
-
-Gameplay-critical children that must stay aligned:
-
-- A water plane, its `FishingWater` Area3D, and its `WaterRecovery` Area3D
-- A dock or bank mesh and its paired shape in `StaticCollision`
-- Safe points and the land/dock they target
-- The Fishing Shop visual root and `FishingShopInteraction`
+Move the complete `StarterIslandRegion` root to keep visuals and gameplay
+volumes synchronized. When editing inside the wrapper, keep each water mesh
+aligned with its matching `FishingWater` and `WaterRecovery` shapes. Safe
+respawns and `PlayerSpawn` must remain on broad upper terrain.
 
 Rename-sensitive paths:
 
 - `TestWorld/Regions`
-- `VillageRegion/Interactables/FishingShopWorld/FishingShopInteraction`
-- `VillageRegion/Interactables/PelicanCoolerPerch`
-- Each region's `FishingWater`, `WaterRecovery`, and `SafeRespawns` roots,
-  unless its exported NodePaths are updated at the same time
+- `TestWorld/Regions/StarterIslandRegion`
+- the NodePaths exported by `StarterIslandRegion`
+- each region's `FishingWater`, `WaterRecovery`, and `SafeRespawns` roots
 
-## Adding water and recovery
+## Reverting to the modular graybox
 
-1. Add a `FishableWaterRegion` Area3D under the region's `FishingWater`.
-2. Give it collision layer 4, a clear location tag, and an explicit fish pool.
-3. Add a matching `PlayerWaterTrigger` under `WaterRecovery`.
-4. Give the trigger collision layer 8, mask 2, matching horizontal coverage,
-   and the correct `surface_height`.
-5. Place two or more safe respawns on nearby broad walkable land.
-6. Validate casting, shoreline collision, recovery entry, and nearest-point
-   selection from every side.
+The previous region scenes remain unchanged under `world/regions/`. To restore
+the prior holdover world, restore `world/test_world.tscn` and
+`world/test_world.gd` from commit `633bbd9`, then remove the player-spawn
+composition line added to `main/main.gd`. That composition instances:
 
-`TestWorld/Safety/BelowWorldFailsafe` is a temporary whole-map recovery net.
-It catches seam and below-world falls that escape normal regional water
-coverage. It supplements rather than replaces the five region-local triggers;
-the recovery controller still permits only one recovery sequence at a time.

-## Services
+No region asset needs to be reconstructed or recovered from deleted content.
 
-The Fishing Shop is an instanced scene at the east side of the village plaza.
-Move the complete `FishingShopWorld` instance, not only its booth meshes.
+## Water and recovery
 
-The Pelican perch is decorative signage, not an interaction NPC. Its sign says
-“Sell to Pelicans from the Cooler”; the existing 0.25× Pelican sale remains
-available from the Cooler anywhere in the world. Moving or removing the
-decorative perch does not change that service.
+The pond and surrounding ocean remain separate fishable regions using the
+existing test pool. Ocean fishing and recovery use four collision shapes so
+the raised island interior is not classified as ocean. Regional recovery is
+supplemented by `TestWorld/Safety/BelowWorldFailsafe`.
 
-## Temporary by design
+The pond surface is at `y=2.10`. The ocean is at `y=-0.45`, between the
+authored upper beach and submerged shelf rings. Fishable regions explicitly
+provide their surface heights to the shared fishing presentation.
 
-All terrain, buildings, docks, reeds, landmarks, signage, palette, and lighting
-are primitive holdover presentation. A future artist or level designer can
-replace `Visuals` and paired static collision without changing fishing,
-recovery, shop, save, economy, or player progression code. Region IDs and
-gameplay volume ownership should remain stable while visuals are replaced.
-
-Water surfaces sit near `y=0.2`; the shared graybox seabed is near `y=-6`.
-There is no structural walkable layer directly below the fishable surfaces.
+The Fishing Shop remains a complete instanced interactable. The Pelican perch
+remains convenience signage only; Pelican selling is available through the
+Cooler from anywhere.
