So I am a bit baffled.
I've had a giant cave bat, a giant cave swallow, and a troll wander into my fort's cagetraps lately (the former two have been turned into roasts, the troll is in a lever linked cage awaiting some recruits). I can't for the life of me figure out how they could have gotten in, because as fas as I can tell, the caverns are sealed off. Can anyone find the leak?

There's a retracted bridge lock at the shift-F2 zoom point, everything else is sealed with walls.

You might want to set population cap to 10 soft 50 hard, and child cap to 14:50 unless you want to get swamped by migrants and births. I've been playing with invaders off for FPS and longevity reasons, but every dwarf is in a squad, reasonably well to well-trained and armoured up, so I suppose the fort can put up a defense if nescessary.

EDIT: note: it's for version 42.06

Are they climbing over the walls, or dropping in from a higher level?

My guess would be the level 32-33. There's a 2x2 hole in a ceiling, where fliers can get in.

Not sure about trolls, can't quite tell if it's pathable for walkers.

Not as far as I can tell. I'm almost starting to think the are spawning in a small piece of existing cavern which I encorporated into my fort (just 2 or 3 tiles that is), but I thought creatures could only spawn in at map edge, and not somewhere in the middle of a cavern.

My guess would be the level 32-33. There's a 2x2 hole in a ceiling, where fliers can get in.

Not quite sure what you mean with level 32-33... You mean the shift F2 point with the retracted bridge? Or the level above that, where there's empty space below the up ramps?

EDIT: oh, 32-33 down from ground level, I see what you mean. Yeah I'll guess I need to plug that up if only for the flyers. The troll must have goofed, climbed, goofed again and fallen in. Thanks!

I mean these 3 tiles of open space:

What kind of wall is a = sign?

[Blue_Dwarf]

The issue was probably on my end, I attempted to install Phoebus on that save and probably messed it up.
