Progressive multi-resolution generation (Proposal 6)#6
Conversation
Adds MultiResModel that runs a 3-level resolution pyramid: first 10% of shapes at quarter res (16x faster eval), next 30% at half res (4x faster), remaining 60% at full res. Shapes are scaled and propagated from lower to higher resolution levels. Feature flag: USE_PROGRESSIVE_RESOLUTION. Includes before/after comparison images in test-results/proposal6/.

Pull request overview
Adds an experimental progressive multi-resolution generation path (3-level pyramid) along with tests and saved visual comparison artifacts for “Proposal 6”.
Changes:
- Introduces
MultiResModelto generate early shapes at lower resolutions and propagate them to finer models. - Extends
Modelwith APIs needed for propagation (addExternalShape) and score access (getScore). - Adds
ProgressiveResolutionTestand commits generated comparison PNGs undertest-results/proposal6/.

In scaleCircle(), scaleY is computed but the circle size is scaled using only scaleX. Because your level dimensions are derived via integer division (fw/2, fw/4, etc.), scaleX and scaleY can differ slightly, which can skew the propagated circle size. Consider scaling the circle size using a symmetric factor (e.g., min/avg of scaleX & scaleY) and/or mapping by size index per level so large coarse-level circles don’t collapse to the max supported size when propagated.

MultiResModel currently uses reflection to access the private Model.worker field. This is brittle (breaks with refactors/strong encapsulation), slower, and can be blocked in some runtime environments. Since MultiResModel is in the same package, consider adding a package-private accessor/factory on Model (e.g., to create a Circle for that model) so MultiResModel can propagate shapes without reflection.

USE_PROGRESSIVE_RESOLUTION is introduced as a feature flag, but there are currently no references to it in src/main/java (search shows only this definition). As-is, toggling it has no effect. Either wire it into the generation path (e.g., where Model is instantiated/stepped) or remove it until integration is in place to avoid misleading configuration.

addExternalShape() and getScore() are public but (per repo search) are only used by MultiResModel / tests within the same package. Consider reducing visibility (package-private) or clearly documenting the API contract, since addExternalShape lets callers mutate Model state without optimization and could be misused by external consumers.
