 ## Architecture

+### Core algorithm — `Source/Pathfinder.cs` (+ `Pathfinder_PathSmoothing.cs`, `Pathfinder_Reachability.cs`)
 
 `Pathfinder` is a `sealed unsafe partial class`. The hot path operates on a flat `Cell[]` via a raw `Cell*` pointer (`fixed`/`stackalloc`), indexed as `x * Height + y` (see `GetCell`). Key performance design points to preserve when editing:
 
 - **Cells are reused, not reallocated.** `GetPath` pins the cell array, calls `ResetCells`, clears the open set, and runs A*. The same buffer serves every query.
 - **`ArrayPool<Cell>.Shared`** backs every constructor except the raw `Cell[]` one. `Dispose()` returns the rented array — so `Pathfinder` is `IDisposable` and meant to be a **reused, long-lived instance**, while `PathResult` (which rents a `Coordinate[]` from a pool) is **per-query and must be disposed** (`using`). Disposing results, not recreating the pathfinder, is the intended usage.
-- **Four constructors → `InitializationMode`** (`CellsArray`, `CellHoldersArray`, `CellsMatrix`, `CellHoldersMatrix`). `InitializeCellsArray()` dispatches to the matching `TryInitializing...` method to flatten the caller's representation into `_cells` before each search. The `Cell[]`-array mode sorts in place (`Utils.CellsComparison`) and is the only mode that does **not** pool/copy.

The `Cell[]`-array mode sorts in place (`Utils.CellsComparison`) and is the only mode that does **not** pool/copy. `CellsComparison` sorts **X-major then Y-minor** so the sorted layout matches `GetCell`'s `x * Height + y` indexing (the matrix/holder modes write cells at `Coordinate.X * Height + Coordinate.Y`); keep all four modes consistent or neighbor adjacency silently transposes.
 - **`stackalloc Cell*[8]` neighbors**, populated cardinal-first then diagonal. Diagonal inclusion respects `IsDiagonalMovementEnabled` and `IsMovementBetweenCornersEnabled` (corner-cutting). Agent `Size > 1` triggers a clearance scan in `GetWalkableLocation`.
 - Heuristic is **Manhattan distance** (`GetH`). G-score folds in per-cell `Weight` (when `IsCellWeightEnabled`) and straight-vs-diagonal travel multipliers.
 
 ### Open set — `Source/Internal/UnsafePriorityQueue.cs`
 
-A custom binary-heap min-priority-queue over `Cell*`. Each `Cell` stores its own `QueueIndex` (internal field) so membership tests (`Contains`) and decrease-key updates are O(1)/O(log n) without a separate map.
+A custom binary-heap min-priority-queue over `Cell*`. Each `Cell` stores its own `QueueIndex` (internal field) so membership tests (`Contains`) and decrease-key updates are O(1)/O(log n) without a separate map. `UpdatePriority` performs a real decrease-key (re-heapifies via cascade up/down) and is used by the reachability search; the A* hot path mutates scores in place instead.
 
 ### Data types — `Source/Data/`
 
 - `Cell` (struct): public fields (`Coordinate`, `IsWalkable`, `IsOccupied`, `Weight`) + `internal` algorithm scratch fields (`ScoreF/G/H`, `Depth`, `ParentCoordinate`, `QueueIndex`, `IsClosed`). `Reset()` clears only the scratch state.
 - `Coordinate` (struct), `PathResult` (`IDisposable`; `IsSuccess`, `Length`, `Get(int)` and a `Path` enumerable over the pooled array), `PathfinderSettings` (public, mutable, implements `IPathfinderSettings`), `PathSmoothingMethod` (enum: `None`, etc.).
+- `RangeResult` (`IDisposable`; result of `Pathfinder.GetReachable`, rents a `ReachableCell[]` from the pool — must be disposed) and `ReachableCell` (readonly struct: `Coordinate` + `Cost`). The reachability search is a budget-bounded uniform-cost (Dijkstra) flood fill in `Pathfinder_Reachability.cs`; per-step cost = straight/diagonal multiplier **+** cell `Weight` (added when weighting is enabled, matching the main A*'s additive `GetCellWeightMultiplier` term), independent of the A* heuristic. Weight must be added, not multiplied — `Cell.Weight` defaults to 0, so a multiplier would zero out every step cost and flood the whole board.

+# RangeResult Class
+
+**Namespace:** `Migs.MPath.Core.Data`
+
+Represents the result of a movement-range (reachability) query produced by `Pathfinder.GetReachable`. Contains every cell whose cheapest path cost from the origin is within the supplied budget. Implements `IDisposable`.
+
+## Properties
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `IsSuccess` | `bool` | Whether the query produced at least one reachable cell. |
+| `Length` | `int` | The number of reachable cells. |
+| `Cells` | `IEnumerable<ReachableCell>` | The reachable cells, each paired with its cheapest path cost. |
+
+## Methods
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `static RangeResult Create(ReachableCell[] cells, int length)` | Creates a successful range result backed by the specified array. |
+| `static RangeResult Empty()` | Returns a shared empty result (no reachable cells). |
+| `ReachableCell Get(int index)` | Gets the reachable cell at the specified index. |
+| `bool Contains(Coordinate coordinate)` | Determines whether the coordinate is reachable (linear scan). |
+| `bool TryGetCost(Coordinate coordinate, out float cost)` | Gets the cheapest path cost to the coordinate, if reachable (linear scan). |
+| `void Dispose()` | Releases resources used by the RangeResult. |
+
+## Remarks
+
+- **IMPORTANT:** Always dispose of `RangeResult` objects after use to return the pooled backing array.
+- Use the `using` statement for automatic disposal.
+- The origin cell is always included with a cost of `0` when the budget is non-negative.
+- `Contains` and `TryGetCost` perform a linear scan over the result. For repeated lookups, build your own `HashSet`/`Dictionary` from `Cells` once.
+- If you need to store reachable cells for later use, copy them before disposing.
+

+// Find every cell an agent can reach within 5 movement points

+# Movement Range (Reachability)
+
+## Overview
+
+In addition to finding a path between two points, MPath can answer "where can this agent move?" — every cell reachable from an origin without exceeding a movement budget. This is the core mechanic behind tactics and strategy games that highlight a unit's reachable tiles.
+
+`Pathfinder.GetReachable` performs a uniform-cost (Dijkstra) flood fill bounded by the budget. It honours exactly the same movement rules as `GetPath`:
+
+- Diagonal movement (`IsDiagonalMovementEnabled`) and corner-cutting (`IsMovementBetweenCornersEnabled`)
+- Occupied cells (`IsCalculatingOccupiedCells`)
+- Agent clearance for agents with `Size > 1`
+
+## Cost model
+
+Each step's cost is:
+
+- `StraightMovementMultiplier` for a cardinal (horizontal/vertical) move
+- `DiagonalMovementMultiplier` for a diagonal move
+
+When `IsCellWeightEnabled` is set, the destination cell's `Weight` is **added** to the step cost (so a cell with `Weight = 2` costs an extra 2 to enter, on top of the travel cost). Weight is added rather than multiplied — consistent with the main pathfinder, and so that the default `Weight` of 0 leaves the step cost equal to the travel cost instead of zeroing it out. The origin cell is always included with a cost of `0`.
+
+A cell is reachable when the cheapest accumulated cost to it is **less than or equal to** the budget.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+```csharp
+using var pathfinder = new Pathfinder(cells, width, height);
+var agent = new SimpleAgent { Size = 1 };
+
+// Find every cell reachable from (4, 4) for a budget of 5 movement points.
+using var range = pathfinder.GetReachable(agent, new Coordinate(4, 4), 5f);
+
+Console.WriteLine($"{range.Length} cells reachable");
+
+foreach (var cell in range.Cells)
+{
+    Highlight(cell.Coordinate, cell.Cost);
+}
+```
+
+## Querying the result
+
+[`RangeResult`](../api/RangeResult.md) exposes the reachable cells as [`ReachableCell`](../api/ReachableCell.md) values (a `Coordinate` plus its `Cost`):
+
+```csharp
+// Index access
+var first = range.Get(0);
+
+// Convenience lookups (linear scans)
+if (range.Contains(new Coordinate(6, 4)))
+{
+    range.TryGetCost(new Coordinate(6, 4), out var cost);
+    Console.WriteLine($"Reachable for {cost}");
+}
+```
+
+For repeated lookups, build a `Dictionary<Coordinate, float>` from `range.Cells` once rather than calling `TryGetCost` in a loop.
+
+## Disposal
+
+Like `PathResult`, `RangeResult` rents its backing array from a pool and **must be disposed** — always wrap it in a `using` statement (or call `Dispose()`), and copy out any cells you need to keep before disposing.
+
+## Edge cases
+
+- A negative budget returns an empty result (`IsSuccess == false`, `Length == 0`).
+- A budget of `0` returns just the origin.
+- An origin outside the grid throws `ArgumentException`; a `null` agent throws `ArgumentNullException`.
