+**Evening extension v2 (2026-05-23 PM late) — apparatus shipped + root
+cause identified.** Four commits (`fb5fba6` → `44614ab` → `0f2db62` →
+`f29c9d5`). The side-by-side comparison harness was built and exercised:
+- `PhysicsResolveCapture` ships a JSON Lines writer for every player-side
+  `ResolveWithTransition` call. Off by default; turn on via
+  `ACDREAM_CAPTURE_RESOLVE=<path>`. Filtered to `IsPlayer` so NPC / remote
+  DR doesn't pollute.
+- Two live captures from a cottage-cellar session (41K + 70K records).
+- Three `LiveCompare_*` tests load 3 representative records (spawn,
+  on-ramp, first-cap). Spawn + on-ramp PASS bit-perfect; the first-cap
+  test originally FAILED with a clear divergence — and that divergence
+  pinpoints the root cause.
+- **The cap is caused by `obj=0xA9B47900` — a landblock-baked cottage
+  GfxObj.** Cottage floor polygons live in this GfxObj's polygon table
+  (registered as a ShadowEntry), NOT in any cottage cell. The harness's
+  cell fixtures (0xA9B40143/146/147) don't include the cottage GfxObj,
+  so the harness fails to reproduce the live cn=(0,0,-1) cap.
+- User's confirming observation: jumping in the cellar caps at the same
+  Z — purely vertical motion. This rules out every step-up / AdjustOffset
+  hypothesis from the prior 6-shape saga. The bug is the head sphere
+  hitting the cottage floor at Z=94.0 from below (math: foot Z=92.74
+  + sphereHeight 1.20 = head center 93.94, head top 94.42, intersects
+  cottage floor Z=94.0).
+- The first-cap test is now in documents-the-bug form (PASSES while
+  bug exists; FAILS when fix lands). Test baseline maintained at
+  1178 + 8 (serial run).
+- 13 new cell fixtures cover the full 0xA9B4014X neighborhood (272 KB).

+**Next-session move: extract cottage GfxObj polygons via focused
+`ACDREAM_PROBE_BUILDING=1` capture, register as ShadowEntry in harness,
+flip first-cap test to assertion form.**
