The lap change is evidence before it is a line
14 September 2026
LapMind can now preserve the factual moment when GT7 moves from one lap to the next. Drawing a start/finish line comes later.
A start/finish marker looks simple on a map. Knowing that it is actually correct is harder.
The new Boundary Foundation records the telemetry evidence around a real sequential lap transition and keeps that evidence associated with the correct Session, track layout and direction.
Its automated foundation is now complete: lifecycle handling, persistence, replay, Session identity and track-sibling correction all pass their current test gates.
That still does not make the geometry physically true.
The next step is deliberately separate: real GT7 Sessions will be used to check whether those observed crossings actually land where the timing boundary exists on track. Only repeated physical evidence should eventually become a learned start/finish model.
Automated foundation: PASS.
Physical validation: next.
Learned start/finish: not yet.
A convincing line on a map is not enough. LapMind should know why it put it there.
