 ## Validation
 
-- Unit tests: **196/196** (`npm test -- --run`)
+- Unit tests: **221/221** (`npm test -- --run`)
 - Production build: **PASS** (`npm run build`)
 - Two-page routing: `/` + `/documentation`
 - CAD / GLB checksums: verified against values above
 - Diverter frozen angles / duration: covered by unit tests
+- Physical junction contact matrix: **45/45** — **ENGINEERING-DERIVED PHYSICAL VALIDATION** (not production-certified)
+
+## Physics (junction contact)
+
+- Same dynamic product rigid body through spawn → junction → receiver settle
+- LEFT/RIGHT CAD diverters use `kinematicPositionBased` colliders synced to the accepted CAD yaw
+- B: physical straight corridor; C/D: contact-only redirection; receiver sensors detect only
+- Temporary scripted junction handoff removed from the active product path
 
 ## Current limitations
 
-- Full contact-only sorting through CAD diverters is **not fully validated**.
-- Belt surface-velocity physics (true 1 m/s tangential drive) is **planned**, not complete.
-- Per-SKU mass / COM / friction profiles still need calibration.
+- Product profiles are **engineering-derived**, not production-calibrated.
 - Author CAD horn / complete transmission is absent or incomplete in the active GLB (`AUTHOR_CAD_INCOMPLETE`).
 - Official compliance claims are limited by the **missing** extracted task PDF and by not re-parsing PDFs in every doc pass.
 - Generated screenshots, videos, Gate stage folders, and tool `out/` trees are **not** canonical.

-## Physics roadmap (not completed)
+## Physics status (ENGINEERING-DERIVED PHYSICAL VALIDATION)
 
-1. Surface-velocity belt at 1 m/s with visual loop.
-2. Contact-validated CAD diverter deflection for all playlist SKUs.
-3. Calibrated per-SKU mass, COM, friction, damping.
-4. Receiver capture verification under dynamic drops.
+Implemented and covered by `src/domain/junctionContactPhysics.ts` (+ tests):
 
-CCD for light/thin items exists in runtime/sim; that alone is **not** full contact validation.
+1. Fixed timestep **1/120 s**, max **4** substeps, gravity **[0, −9.81, 0]**.
+2. Belt target speed **1.0 m/s** via supported-body velocity coupling (stationary belt collider).
+3. Single dynamic product body through junction; temporary scripted handoff removed.
+4. LEFT/RIGHT diverter colliders: `kinematicPositionBased`, cuboid half-extents **[0.375, 0.05, 0.02]**, same pivot/yaw as CAD.
+5. C/D change direction only by physical contact; B uses the open neutral corridor.
+6. Receiver volumes are sensors for completion; they do not translate the body.
+7. Deterministic matrix **45/45** correct receiver entries (3 profiles × 5 runs × B/C/D).
+
+Still not production-certified:
+
+- Per-SKU mass / COM / friction calibration against real hardware
+- Visual full belt loop mesh with true surface velocity
+- Owner visual review of contact behavior
