+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_23_2_ENGINE_RUNTIME_INTEGRATION_FIXES — Fixes Applied
+
+## Input Reports Reviewed
+- `docs/dev/reports/BUILD_PR_LEVEL_23_1_ENGINE_RUNTIME_VALIDATION_SWEEP_VALIDATION_REPORT.md`
+- `docs/dev/reports/BUILD_PR_LEVEL_23_1_ENGINE_RUNTIME_VALIDATION_SWEEP_INTEGRATION_GAPS.md`
+- `docs/dev/reports/BUILD_PR_LEVEL_23_1_ENGINE_RUNTIME_VALIDATION_SWEEP_FAILURES.md`
+
+## Root Cause Addressed
+23.1 identified guard-contract drift caused by direct `Number.isFinite` usage in two files:
+- `samples/phase-17/shared/voxelTileRenderPipeline.js`
+- `src/engine/runtime/RuntimeMonitoringHooks.js`
+
+The extraction guard marks this as `inline-helper-clone` (`rule:number-is-finite-usage`).
+
+## Minimal Fixes Applied
+1. `samples/phase-17/shared/voxelTileRenderPipeline.js`
+- Added shared numeric normalization import:
+  - `import { asFiniteNumber } from '/src/shared/number/index.js';`
+- Replaced local direct finite check:
+  - from `Number.isFinite(faceShading[face.id]) ? ... : 1`
+  - to `asFiniteNumber(faceShading[face.id], 1)`
+
+2. `src/engine/runtime/RuntimeMonitoringHooks.js`
+- Removed direct `Number.isFinite` usage for interval normalization.
+- Replaced with finite-safe numeric normalization using `Number(...)`, `Number.isNaN(...)`, and explicit infinity checks.
+- No API shape changes, no behavioral expansion.
+
+## Scope Guard Compliance
+- No feature expansion
+- No refactor beyond root-cause fixes
+- No unrelated file cleanup
+- Unrelated working-tree files preserved

+
+## Commands Run
+1. `node tools/dev/checkSharedExtractionGuard.mjs`
+2. `node --input-type=module -e "import { run as s } from './tests/samples/SamplesProgramCombinedPass.test.mjs'; import { run as r } from './tests/runtime/Phase19RuntimeLifecycleValidation.test.mjs'; import { run as e } from './tests/production/EnginePublicBarrelImports.test.mjs'; import { run as b } from './tests/tools/ToolBoundaryEnforcement.test.mjs'; s(); r(); e(); b(); console.log('PASS level23 integration fixes core suite');"`
+3. `node ./tests/runtime/LaunchSmokeAllEntries.test.mjs --samples`
+4. `node ./scripts/run-node-tests.mjs` (broad verification pass)
+
+## Results
+- Shared extraction guard: **PASS against baseline**
+  - `baseline_unexpected=0`
+  - `baseline_resolved=1`
+- Core integration suite: **PASS**
+- Sample launch smoke: **PASS**
+  - `PASS=242 FAIL=0 TOTAL=242`
+- Broad node suite: **FAIL**
+  - Failure observed in `tests/games/GravityValidation.test.mjs` from `run-node-tests`
+  - Error: module resolution to `file:///C:/src/engine/scene/index.js`
+  - This failure is outside the 23.1 integration-gap root-cause scope and was not introduced by 23.2 fixes.
+
+## 23.1 Gap Closure Status
+- Contract-drift gap from 23.1 (`rule:number-is-finite-usage`) is resolved.
+- No broken samples detected in launch smoke after fixes.
+- Engine/runtime boundary checks in scoped suite remain green.
+
+## Conclusion
+BUILD_PR_LEVEL_23_2 integration-fix scope is validated and complete for the 23.1-reported issues.
