-- Two questions, measured rather than eyeballed:
--   (1) WHERE exactly is the mainline missing barriers? Walk the deck edge and
--       report contiguous runs with no Barrier/EdgeRail within reach.
--       (User deleted ~106 parts by hand, so gaps are wherever they cut.)
--   (2) HOW does the south on-ramp differ from the north off-ramp? Compare the
--       two slips feature-by-feature so "make it look like the other" is a
--       concrete list of deltas, not a guess.
