// Two claims, because they are different claims. First: carrying the
// distance inward genuinely reduces fragmentation — a plateau with an
// exit now drains to it instead of fanning into diagonal chains.
// Second, and the one a user would notice: whatever fragments survive
// are separated by zero-height saddles, so the hierarchy merges them
// at its very first steps and the plateau reads as one region.
//
// The second claim is what makes the first one's *residue* tolerable.
// A perfectly flat regional minimum — the inside of a uniform disc,
// with no exit anywhere — cannot be drained by a distance that has
// nowhere to descend to, and collapsing it fully would need connected
// component labelling rather than a local rule. It is not worth it:
