It’s interesting that most top contenders don’t pass the eyeball halo check, seems like there’s room to optimize that filter in code.

yea, good observation, my guess is its the data more than the filter. OSM coastline polygons are generalized to different degrees depending on who traced them and from what imagery, so the fine shape detail a halo check would key on often is not in the geometry at all.
