+### Cell-Tile material path (0.5.7)
+
+A second, optional painting path: each layer can now also have a
+`cells_material` array (W·H bool, lazy-allocated). Cells where
+`cells_material[x, y]` is set use the classical 47-blob 8-neighbour
+bitmask rule on effective material (vertex-derived OR cell-derived),
+unlocking all 14 atlas slots. Cells whose material comes only from
+the vertex grid continue to use the FIX-A 4-own-corner rule (5
+reachable slots, dual-grid look).
+
+Both paths coexist in the same layer; the bitmask rule is decided
+per-cell based on whether `cells_material[x, y]` is true. A
+vertex-only cell adjacent to a cell-tile cell remains structurally
+blind to its neighbour because its 4-corner rule only reads its own
+corner vertices — this asymmetric seam is documented behaviour. For
+clean visuals use a single painting path per layer.
+
+Public API: `set_cell_material(layer, x, y, painted, map_id?)` and
+`get_cell_material(layer, x, y, map_id?) -> bool`.
+
+The `cells_material` field is optional and absent on every existing
+v3 map; save output is byte-identical to 0.5.6 when no cells_material
+entries are non-zero.
