docs: close the placement cutover ledger — #280 user-passed, remaining gates NOT RUN

Campaign closed by user direction after the #280 connected gate passed.

GATE RESULT. #280 user-accepted: "now portal space takes longer but terrain is
complete when I exit" — both halves of the specified criteria, a measurably
longer hold and a complete destination on reveal. Probe evidence: three Portal
reveals plus a Login reveal, every one at radius=12 where pre-fix it was a
hardcoded 1, each portal hold raising the wait cue at ~5.0 s before completing.

An accidental but genuine A/B came out of the same session. An earlier run set
ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS=1 — that variable is a radius VALUE, not an on/off
flag — which forced the pre-fix window. The user saw the original defect under
it and not under radius=12. That is the before/after pair the gate asked for,
obtained by mistake. Recorded prominently because the same mistake would
silently reproduce the bug for the next person.

WHAT IS NOT CLAIMED. The ledger closes with most connected gates outstanding
BY USER DIRECTION, not because they were discharged: D-1's two reachability
scenarios, AP-136's six-step park protocol, route-7 thickening (the
remote-teleport probe recorded ZERO lines), the two-client observation, the
nine-stop soak, and the lifecycle/reconnect route. The closeout's section 2.6
is a table of exactly this, and both the campaign plan banner and this commit
say that anyone citing "the campaign passed" must cite it alongside.

THE PROBE FAMILY IS DELIBERATELY NOT STRIPPED. Closing the campaign would
normally retire the six ACDREAM_PROBE_* flags, but their gates were never run,
and stripping now would delete precisely the instrumentation those owed gates
need — the failure the handoff's own rule exists to prevent. Honouring that
rule means not stripping even though the campaign is closing.
ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS is also kept despite #280 closing, because AP-149
and #326 are open and would both want the same A/B harness.

#280 is marked CLOSED in ISSUES with its gate evidence, and its residual
AP-149 is restated there: our outer ring accepts terrain-only readiness where
retail's PreFetchCells also requires each landblock's LandBlockInfo and every
building's EnvCells, so distant SCENERY may still fill in after reveal even
though terrain does not. Not folded in — it costs further hold time and is a
game-feel call.

Memory updated with the campaign's closed state and the follow-up order:
#331 first, then AP-152, #330, AD-65.

## 2.6 Connected gate — #280 USER-PASSED 2026-08-06; the rest NOT RUN
**#280's reveal gate: PASS, user-accepted.** User's words: *"now portal space
takes longer but terrain is complete when I exit."* Both halves are the
criteria the gate specified — a measurably longer hold (the fix doing its job)
and a complete destination on reveal (the acceptance).
Probe evidence, `ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1`, retail UI, Release, `ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS`
unset (`c5c-gate-after2.log`):
- **Three Portal reveals plus a Login reveal, every one at `radius=12`.**
Pre-#280 this was a hardcoded `1`.
- Each portal hold raised the wait cue at ~5.0 s (`elapsedMs=5031 / 5000 /
5010`) before `materialized → world-visible → complete`.
- Generation 4 revealed cell `0x3032001C` — the same cell as generation 1's
login, i.e. a repeat visit to an already-seen landblock.
- The park path was exercised (95 `[park...]` lines).
**An accidental but genuine A/B.** An earlier run in the same session set
`ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS=1`, which is a radius VALUE, not an on/off flag —
so it forced the pre-fix window. The user observed the original defect
(landscape building in the background) with `radius=1` on every probe line, and
did not observe it with `radius=12`. That is the before/after pair the gate
asked for, obtained by accident. **Successors: this probe overrides the radius;
it does not merely enable logging.**
### NOT RUN — do not read this section as gate coverage
| Owed gate | Status |
|---|---|
| D-1's two reachability scenarios (double-recall to the same landblock with a walk between; mid-hold quality-preset drop) | **NOT RUN.** Generation 4's repeat visit is suggestive but is not the demote path D-1 needs. |
| AP-136's six-step park check | **NOT RUN as the six-step protocol.** The probe fired 95 times incidentally; that is not the check. |
| Route-7 thickening | **NOT RUN**`ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_TELEPORT` recorded **0** lines; no remote teleport occurred. |
| Two-client observation | **NOT RUN** |
| Canonical nine-stop soak | **NOT RUN** |
| Lifecycle/reconnect route on the final binary | **NOT RUN** |
| AD-65 / AD-66 local-player visual gate | **NOT RUN** |
The campaign ledger closes with these outstanding **by user direction**, not
because they were discharged. Anyone citing "C5c passed" must cite §2.6's table
alongside it.

## 3. WHAT C5C STILL OWES — all of it needs the user
Nothing below can be discharged without a live client. The automated half is
@ -97,12 +141,31 @@ complete.
### 3.2 Then, and only then
**The probe strip.** Six flags — `ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_LANDING`,
`ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_SLIDE`, `ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK`,
`ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_TELEPORT`, `ACDREAM_PROBE_CHILD_CELL`,
`ACDREAM_PROBE_LOCAL_TELEPORT` — plus `ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS`.
**Strip as a family, and NOT before the gates above have consumed them.**
Stripping first would delete the instrumentation §3.1's items depend on.
**The probe strip — DEFERRED 2026-08-06, deliberately, and the ledger closes
without it.**
Six flags — `ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_LANDING`, `ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_SLIDE`,
`ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK`, `ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_TELEPORT`,
`ACDREAM_PROBE_CHILD_CELL`, `ACDREAM_PROBE_LOCAL_TELEPORT` — plus
`ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS`.
**Not stripped, because §2.6's table says their gates were never run.** Only
#280's reveal gate was discharged. Route-7 thickening recorded zero
remote-teleport lines; AP-136's six-step park protocol was not performed; the
two-client observation, nine-stop soak and lifecycle/reconnect route did not
happen. Stripping the family now would delete exactly the instrumentation
those still-owed gates need, which is the failure this section was written to
prevent — so honouring it means *not* stripping, even though the campaign is
closing.
`ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS` is kept too, despite #280 being closed: **AP-149**
(outer ring accepts terrain-only) and **#326** (the missing Viewing Distance
option) are both open and both would want the same A/B harness. Retiring it now
would mean rebuilding it.
**Successor:** strip the family when the §2.6 gates are actually run, not on a
calendar. Note again that `ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS` is a radius **value**,
not a boolean — setting it to `1` silently reproduces the pre-#280 defect.
### 3.3 Then close the ledger
