// === BUILD PLAN ===
// Style: Ethiopian rock-hewn monolithic church (Lalibela / Bete Giyorgis)
// Footprint: GREEK CROSS monolith, arms 16 wide, bounding 30x30, standing free inside a
// 57x57 rectangular TRENCH cut 13 blocks down into a red tuff bedrock plateau.
// Height: trench floor Y2 -> plinth Y3-4 -> body Y5-14 -> roof tiers Y15,Y16. Plateau top Y15.
//
// SITE (top-down, 1 char = 4 blocks):
// ................
// ..############.. # = bedrock plateau (organic relief via hills+flatten+surface)
// ..#..______..#.. _ = trench courtyard (rock floor Y2)
// ..#.._+##+_..#.. + = monolith cross arms
// ..#.._####_..#..
// ..#.._+##+_..#..
// ..#..___||__.#.. || = rock-cut slot canyon + descending staircase (Y16 -> Y3)
// ..############..
//
// CROSS PLAN (interior, walls 3 thick):
// outer A x33..62 z40..55 | outer B x40..55 z33..62
// inner A x36..59 z43..52 | inner B x43..52 z36..59
// nave floor Y5, walkY 6, ceiling Y14 (8 blocks of air), 8 monolithic pillars
//
// FRONT ELEVATION (south arm, +Z = camera side):
// [====== roof tier 2 + carved cross =====]
// [======== roof tier 1 + cornice ========]
// | reg3 o o o | small ogees Y12
// | reg2 ^ ^ ^ | keyhole windows Y10
// | reg1 + + + | latin-cross windows Y7 (orange glass)
// | pilaster relief |
// ===== DOOR + porch + staircase down to courtyard =====
//
// MATERIALS PLAN:
// bedrock : noisePalette granite/terracotta/red_sandstone/brown_terracotta - WHY: one rock mass, organic blotches, reads carved
// monolith : gradientPalette Y3->Y14 brown_terracotta -> terracotta -> red_terracotta -> granite {noise .3}
// - WHY: the monolith is the SAME rock, but sun-bleached higher up; the ramp fakes shadow at the base
// roof : noisePalette polished_granite/terracotta/red_terracotta + chiseled cross motif - WHY: crisper = "carved"
// cornice : polished_granite_stairs upside-down (roofStair top) - WHY: 1-block shadow line = wall_depth
// interior : polished_granite floor + red/orange carpet runner, chiseled_stone_bricks pillars, lanterns+candles
// process : LAYERED (blue_wool body / red_wool roof placeholders -> masks -> replaceMasked palette)
// Rooms: nave (pillars, benches, runner, lanterns), sanctuary (altar, candles, banners), side aisles (rugs, pots)
// STAIR PLAN: descent D=13 -> staircase(47,92, walk16 -> walk3, 'north') width 3 in a slot canyon
// porch D=3 -> staircase(47,68, walk3 -> walk6, 'north') width 2 onto the plinth porch
