Lower alpha through the whole fill (0.34 -> 0.19 at the strings, falling with depth) and the core is a LIT BLUE rather than near-white, which is what was washing it out. The stroked edges come down and turn blue with it. Worth recording, because it will come up again: the cone's opacity and how well you can tell above-the-plane from below-the-plane are the same dial. The plane is flat -- a body above it is drawn clean on top, a body below is seen through it -- so the distinction just IS the cone's alpha. Fainter cone and sharper split pull against each other; the fainter cone wins and the cut line carries the signal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
