+At `--sample 0.25` the same routes measure 11.6 cm / 8.0 cm / 3.4 cm. The
+pre-check now prints the grade and the **location** of the worst step, and its
+coverage no longer shrinks with `--sample`.
 
 No holes anywhere, so nothing drops the player on either side. The two flagged steps:
 
 - ~~15.8 cm at s≈207, the sidewalk's outer edge~~ — **fixed in `0.1.1`**: the
   sidewalk upstand now tapers to zero at the building side, so the outer edge is
-  flush with the terrain. The remaining 13.4 cm max step on the south route is the
-  crossing-ramp gradient below, not the outer edge.
-- **10–13 cm steps at s≈33, 39 and 126**, inside the sidewalk mesh: the kerb-flush transition at the crossings. That is a ~10 % ramp over 1.5 m, steeper than a real crossing ramp (8 % max). Worth grading properly when the crossings are detailed.
+  flush with the terrain (north route 15.1 → 6.9 cm).
+- ~~10–13 cm steps at the crossings, ~10 % ramp over 1.5 m~~ — **fixed in `0.1.1`**:
+  the ramp run is now derived from a target grade (`--max-ramp-grade`, default 8 %),
+  giving 1.63 m instead of the fixed 1.5 m (8.7 %). Measured at 0.25 m sampling the
+  crossing now steps 3.4 cm (~1.4 % of the route) at the kerb line.
+
+**Remaining finding (not a crossing, not the outer edge):** the south route still
+measures a **13.4 cm step at s≈198 m** (11.6 cm at 0.25 m sampling) and the north
+route 8.0 cm at s≈251 m. Neither is at a crossing and neither is the outer lip, so
+this is a local discontinuity in the sidewalk strip — most likely the DEM sampling
+or a centreline vertex near the block ends. Tracked under the `0.1.1` "audit any
+collision gaps" item rather than left undocumented.
 
 This is a pre-check, not the `0.1.0` release check: the release check is traversal in the engine.

 ### Patch tasks - active - 01a1b26b-3c94-707f-9665-2f6b4a79b564 (branch `collision-detail-0.1.1`)
 
 - [x] **Sidewalk outer edge against terrain.** **Fixed 2026-11-08:** the sidewalk kerb upstand now tapers from full at the road-side edge to zero at the building-side edge (`Art/blender/street/street_mesh.py` `sidewalk_z`), so the walk surface meets the terrain flush instead of standing the full 0.15 m kerb above the DEM. Pre-check after the change: south max step 20.5 → **13.4 cm**, north 15.1 → **7.2 cm** (the remaining 13.4 cm is the crossing-ramp item below). Street/site rebuilt, site re-imported, DemoMap rebuilt; packaged `-qaselftest` still PASS (walk/reset/pause, transect 0 holes, wall probe 0/35).
-- [ ] **Crossing ramp gradient.** The kerb-flush transitions measure **10–13 cm over 1.5 m ≈ 10 %**, steeper than the 8 % a real ramp uses (`Geo/tools/street_section.py` output, s≈33, 39, 126 m). Grade the three ramp openings properly.
+- [x] **Crossing ramp gradient.** **Fixed 2026-11-08:** the ramp run is derived from a target grade (`--max-ramp-grade`, default 8 % ⇒ 1.63 m) instead of the fixed 1.5 m (8.7 %). Measured at 0.25 m sampling the crossing now steps 3.4 cm at the kerb line. Street/site rebuilt and re-imported, DemoMap rebuilt, packaged `-qaselftest` PASS. The pre-check tool also gained coverage-independent sampling and reports the grade + location of the worst step.
 - [x] **Collision authoring pass.** Terrain and site meshes use complex-as-simple / `BlockAll` (forced by `UGigLineAssetTools`, verified 2026-11-08 with 84-sample transect). Remaining: simple convex hulls per building (currently using default collision). Record the final settings in `Docs/build.md`.
 - [ ] **Kerb height is an assumption.** 0.15 m modelled, 0.13 m as built, and the 3DEP DEM cannot resolve a kerb at all. Check against the photographs and record the final figure.
-- [ ] Audit and fix any collision gaps or fall-through geometry found in `0.1.0` in the engine.
+- [ ] Audit and fix any collision gaps or fall-through geometry found in `0.1.0` in the engine. **Known finding to chase:** the walk pre-check reports a 13.4 cm step at **s≈198 m** on the south route and 8.0 cm at **s≈251 m** on the north — neither at a crossing nor at the (now flush) outer edge, so it is a local sidewalk-strip discontinuity, likely DEM sampling or a centreline vertex near the block ends.
 - [ ] Regression-test traversal on both sides of the demo.
 - [ ] Verify no new packaging defects.
 - [ ] Tag `v0.1.1` and write `CHANGELOG.md` entry; then remove this section.
