feat(track): the blades of a switch whose frog is cut from the rails are made from its geometry: the tip is where the gauge lines of both paths are 3 mm apart, the head reaches its full width where they are a head plus 0.5 mm apart, and the heel is the shortest blade whose open flangeway stays at least 58 mm with a throw of 160 mm bent like a cantilever from the heel, or straight when that does not fit as in slips; the blade is the whole rail profile lofted from the tip to the heel, cut along the head of the stock rail, with the head lowered by the drop of the blade half of the profile file towards the tip and back to the top at a 50 mm head, and thrown with knots every 0.5 m so the vertex count does not change between the positions; the stock rails get stations every 0.5 m along the blades so their curve follows the blade, the fixed rail behind the heel starts at the heel, the old blades take their segment count per path, and the self-test command blade logs the tip, heel, drop, flangeway and the gauge lines against x^2/2R and faults on a short flangeway, a heel past the throat or a change of the vertex count

fix(track): a point of a rail profile clamped to a cut edge of a lofted span is never moved past its own place nor raised past its own height, and the edges at a station are read from the side of the span being laid, so the rings at a step of an edge or at a bent mitred end no longer stretch points out of the profile and stand them up to 18 mm above the head as thin fins at the corners of wide crossings, and points of other cut rails sit exactly on the profile instead of up to a millimetre off it
