+## Decisions
+
+- **No horizontal step limit (resolved):** The server's `MaxHorizontalStep = 18 m` was too restrictive for the expanded 45 × 45 m floor (diagonal ≈ 63 m). Added `HorizontalStepEnabled` bool to `MovementValidationOptions` (defaults `false`), matching the `DistrictBoundsEnabled` pattern. The horizontal check is now skipped by default; the property remains available to opt back in via config. `MoveRejectFarPad` no longer exercises a horizontal range reject; it retains its walkable surface for vertical-step regression only.
+
 ## Open questions / risks
 
 - **NavMesh bake time:** A 45×45 floor with several terraces will bake more polygons than the 20×20 baseline. Expected to be negligible for `bake_navigation_mesh(false)` on desktop, but monitor Output for a perceptible pause.
-- **NEON-7 reject range change:** The server's `MaxDistance` is currently tuned for the old district. Clicks from the far corners of the new floor will be within server range (they're not "too far" in server terms — the server checks xz step size from _current_ position to _target_, not total map size). Confirm no new silent-reject edge cases; document if found.
-- **Agent climb on terraces:** `agent_max_climb = 0.35` limits single-step height. Ramps must grade gently enough for the bake to include them as traversable, or use stacked step geometry (~0.30 m rise per step). Verify in Godot editor nav mesh debug overlay before shipping.
+- **Agent climb on terraces:** `agent_max_climb = 0.35` limits single-step height. Each terrace transition is 0.30 m; verify in Godot editor nav mesh debug overlay before shipping.
