0034 — One-Way Warp Tunnel Design

Status

Folded into FEATURES/galaxy/special-formations.md.

Context

One-way warp directionality lives on is_bidirectional = false on the warp row (never a type enum), latency on is_latent; natural one-ways are worldgen-only (BACKDOOR, WARP_SINK, ESCAPE_HATCH) and player mechanics produce bidirectional natural warps only.
