+- `Sidewalk_South` 4.0 m wide, `Sidewalk_North` 5.3 m wide. The kerb upstand is
+  **full at the road-side edge and tapers to zero at the building-side edge**, so
+  the walk surface meets the terrain flush (before `0.1.1` the outer lip stood the
+  full kerb height above the DEM — a 15.8 cm ledge).
 - `Kerb_South`, `Kerb_North`: vertical faces, mostly **0.13 m** — the 0.15 m assumption minus nothing on the road side — and flushed to 0 within ±2.5 m of each signalised crossing with a 1.5 m blend. Measured from the built mesh: 256 steps at 0.13 m, 15 flush, a few in transition.
 
 Crown check on the built mesh at mid-block: gutter −10.5 m → +0.99, −5 m → +1.38, centre → +1.52, +5 m → +1.58, +10.5 m → +1.52. The crown sits just north of the centreline, as the cross-sections said.

 No holes anywhere, so nothing drops the player on either side. The two flagged steps:
 
-- **15.8 cm at s≈207**, where a sample crosses from `Terrain_DEM` onto `Sidewalk_South` — that is the sidewalk's outer edge, the 0.15 m kerb height minus the terrain. Mostly hidden by buildings, but it is a real edge and it will be visible anywhere a building is missing.
+- ~~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.
 
 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`)
 
-- [A] **Sidewalk outer edge against terrain.** The pre-check measured a **15.8 cm** step where a walk sample crosses from `Terrain_DEM` onto `Sidewalk_South` (`Art/blender/README.md`, s≈207 m). Mostly hidden by buildings; visible wherever the frontage is missing. Fix by extending the sidewalk mesh to meet the terrain, or by lowering the outer lip.
+- [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] **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.
