Convergence Sink Fold

Gallery / Serpentine Layout

Convergence sink folded below its branches: a `fold_threshold` stacks the parallel branches in one column and drops the shared sink onto a lower row, fed through a TOP entry. Each upper branch's bottom-exit feeder routes around the intervening branch boxes through the clear left-side gap rather than ploughing straight down through them.
