One normal HeartScale for Cofa Hex

Source-only proposal for installed19.5.43. No live UI, active native save/log, AI or RNG was read; no input was sent. Full proposed dry edges and precise phase guards: work/heartscale715-normal-route-PROPOSAL.json. Map illustration work/agate-map715-SOURCE-ONLY.png uses installed tiles and explicit historical/hypothetical event pages only.

Prefer Route4 Map715E64[57,20], on the central island. BigJRA's Upper Route4 section corroborates the island/Surf requirement. Installed events and passability supply the exact recipe below. The model uses the named historical post-Glass navigation plus hypothetical completed briefing39151; root must inspect fresh actual progress and layer before execution.

The first post-Hypno735 arrival briefly transfers to715[39,20]/39145, but Radomus715E85 is trigger3 autorun, immediately continuing recovery to734. There is no controllable overworld window for a Scale detour there. Leave that recovery chain intact. The post-Hypno source helper owns735E4→715E85→734E16→735E7 and Anna's final choice.

Normal later approach

After recovery/Calcenon briefing, use the already reviewed ordinary transfers/climbs:413E21→418[17,7];418E2→412[12,18];412E1 RockClimb→710[23,49];710E2→711;711E3→713;713E5→714;714E3→715[65,17]. Keep a healed level90 lead and use an owned Repel normally; an unexpected encounter/dialogue/capture failure stops the route for review. Do not replay an interrupted queue blindly.

710E3[44,43] does transfer directly to715[14,12], but it occupies an isolated upper710 ledge. Source-only walking/layer/Surf planning found no path from the normal710[23,49] entrance to any of its faces. It is not a shortcut from Calcenon. If a future actual position already reaches that ledge, its715 entry shortens the dock approach to58 edges; the normal715[65,17] approach is87 dry ordinary/hop edges.

Bounded control recipe on715

1. Inspect actual715 coordinates and current410 layer. Run the existing layer_walk.py 715 50 23 <observed410 0/1> 0. It uses bounded28-edge chunks, verifies actual endpoints, preserves calibrated jump taps and stops on unapproved screens/wilds. The source path stays dry, ends at50,23/410False, and avoids the story transfers at21,16 and39,15. Root must not replace observed layer with the proposal's initial value.
2. At 50,23, face DOWN with the usual short turning tap, press C and resolve only the verified normal Surf prompt, or its source-backed convenience transition. HiddenMoves.rb:469–510 requires the ordinary Surf move/permission and jumps to the facing water tile. Verify the visible Surf avatar and actual 715[50,24] before continuing. A hop-rock landing is not proof of Surf.
3. Send one normal DOWN:.12, then verify 715[50,25] and overworld completion. E97 at50,25 has tile417 and unconditional code121[410,410,0]; this is the reliable source-backed 410True anchor. Root may reflect that completed observed source effect into planner notes. Do not assume E31 set410 on the50,24 boarding landing: its here-trigger can be rejected because that water tile is not an over_trigger? tile (Game_Event.rb:60, Game_Player.rb:411).
4. From that verified 50,25 / Surf /410True anchor, run existing surface_walk.py 715 57 21. Installed-only planning gives15 edges: RIGHT8, UP1, RIGHT1, UP3, land LEFT from59,21 to58,21, LEFT to57,21. It has no artificial jump edge or further layer change. The surface helper verifies coordinates before/after its chunks and stops on a715 encounter rather than auto-fleeing it. Native pbEndSurf/pbJumpToward handles the adjacent island landing normally.
5. At 57,21, run eventq.py 715 64 item (or the agate_prep_phase.py scale final-pickup phase). It selects the southern face, turns UP and presses C. E64 calls pbItemBall(:HEARTSCALE) and sets self-A only on success. Inspect the acquisition message; a normal checkpoint/native bag proof may verify exactly1 HeartScale and715,64,A before crediting the unlock. Do not use collected710E64.

All controls remain ordinary play.act helper inputs; neither this note nor its JSON changes game state. The layer source effect is only mirrored after its exact actual coordinate/completion is witnessed. Stop if the native event page, arrival, partner, Surf permission, stock, source geometry or visible screen differs.

Why the generic island route failed

715's hop rocks use Neutral13 overlays over Water6/7. Existing surface_plan.py infers mode from the destination terrain tag, so it changes a native ordinary jump into surf:jump:down. That jump does not invoke pbStartSurfing, and surface_walk.py would parse the nested key as direction jump. Do not use that generated edge. The dry approach above keeps explicit SurfFalse throughout; boarding begins only at the normal50,23 action boundary. Once visibly boarded, the existing surface model is valid for the short island crossing.

704E87[34,53] is an uncollected backup in the historical saved self-switches. Tourmaline has no direct Fly point and uses four changing layouts, so a704 trip needs a separate train/layout/coordinate route; none is represented as a ready shortcut here. Route715 supplies one source-proven practical approach with the already owned Surf/RockClimb roster.

Verification: pure installed-only dry/layer/explicit-Surf exploration found the complete approach from both715 entry candidates. The final15-edge water/land segment was also checked against the existing surface_plan function with a true Surf start and410True. No live route was executed.
