axialTilt was visual-only ("groundwork for seasons"). It now drives climate.
computeClimate() adds derived sTempSummer/sTempWinter around the annual mean:
summer/winter = sTemp +/- A, A = seasonAmpMax * sin(tilt)/sin(23.44) *
latShape * continentality
- tiltFactor: 0 tilt -> no seasons, Earth tilt -> 1.
- latShape (pow(|lat|/90, seasonLatExp)): poles swing most.
- continentality: a multi-source BFS ring-distance from ocean cells -- oceans
and coasts are muted by thermal inertia, interiors swing most.
Result: ~0 swing at the equatorial coast, large at high-latitude interiors.
classifyBiomes() blends WINTER temp into the Tundra/Taiga cold cutoffs via
biomeSeasonWeight (0 = annual-mean only = unchanged biomes; default 0.6), so
cold-winter continental interiors become boreal/tundra (Siberia effect). The
amplitude is geographically shaped, so cold biomes expand only where seasons
bite. Fields are derived/not-saved -> no save-format change.
Viewer: color key 6 now CYCLES Temperature -> summer -> winter -> seasonality
(new seasonColor ramp + labels); cell-info shows summer/winter. New season* +
biomeSeasonWeight config knobs (planet.cfg, validated). Docs updated.
Headless (test/season): summer >= mean >= winter; equator swing ~1.6 C vs
~20 C at high latitude; interior land >> ocean; tilt=0 -> no seasons; higher
tilt -> bigger swing; biomeSeasonWeight=0 leaves biomes unchanged; cold-biome
count rises with seasons; deterministic. test_logic + test_biota pass; full
app builds clean.
