A fresh read of `last_known_contact_plane`'s own maintenance (pc:272659-272668) confirms retail overwrites it unconditionally from `contact_plane` every `validate_transition` pass — including with a steep plane — so retail keeps NO separately-preserved flat-ground history there either; this fallback chain is a genuine acdream invention, not a retail-matching read. Kept because it compensates for AP-4's incomplete `OnWalkable` bookkeeping (L.4-cliffslide-fallback, 2026-04-30): without it, `cross(currentSteep, lastKnownSteep)` degenerates to zero after >1 frame on a continuous steep slope, and CliffSlide returns `OK` (no deflection) instead of downhill drift — the "stay on the roof" wedge the L.4 session fought | If AP-4's `OnWalkable` reordering is ever completed/removed, `last_known_contact_plane` should carry the same information retail's does and this fallback chain becomes unneeded ballast (or, worse, silently picks a stale `LastWalkablePlane` over the now-correct current one) — re-audit together with AP-4 | `CTransition::cliff_slide` pc:272397 (0050a6d0); `last_known_contact_plane` maintenance pc:272659-272668 (~0050ad07); `docs/research/2026-07-30-response-layer-edge-family-pseudocode.md` §2 gap #2 |

The permissive `LandingZ` walkable-acceptance threshold that lets a steep roof become "walkable" in the first place IS confirmed retail-faithful (`BSPTREE::find_collisions` unconditional `walkable_allowance = LandingZ`, pc:323740-323783, TS-4's own citation) — so a steep-roof walkable polygon is a real state retail also reaches. What is NOT independently verified is whether retail's outer `transitional_insert` caller absorbs a same-polygon-standing `COLLIDED_TS` from `precipice_slide` (its raw `find_crossed_edge` returning false while standing on, not crossing, the polygon) some other way that avoids the acdream "stuck in a Collided revert loop" this reroute prevents | If retail's outer retry loop turns out to already handle the no-crossed-edge-while-standing-on-a-steep-poly case without a reroute, this branch is an unnecessary compensating layer that could route a genuinely PrecipiceSlide-bound case (a shallow polygon edge that happens to sit at exactly `FloorZ`) into CliffSlide instead | `SPHEREPATH::edge_slide` pc:273001-273090 (0050b3d0, direct walkable branch quoted at pc:364-370 in the P2 research doc); `BSPTREE::find_collisions` pc:323740-323783 (0053a730, unconditional `LandingZ`); `docs/research/2026-07-30-response-layer-edge-family-pseudocode.md` §2 gap #3 |

| AD-46 | **LIVE. Reframed at Campaign V slice V11 (2026-07-29), when GL was deleted and the comparison that discovered this row ceased to exist.** Dense alpha-blended distant scenery (the treeline) may read slightly denser than retail's, because the anisotropic TAP PATTERN is implementation-defined and acdream's Vulkan driver does not tap identically to retail's D3D9 one. Both request the same sampler state — trilinear, clamp-and-repeat, the device's maximum anisotropy. **What changed at V11 is only the left-hand side of the comparison**: this was measured GL-vs-Vulkan (~15% of the pixels in the band), and it is now a Vulkan-vs-retail question against the D3D oracle in the last column. The measurement below is retained as the evidence that the residual is a tap pattern and not a bug, even though one of its two arms no longer exists. | `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/WorldTextureArray.cs` (`RhiWorldTextureArray.WorldArrayAnisotropy`); measured in plan §5.5.19, reframed §5.5.24 | Not assumed — narrowed by measurement while both backends still existed, on an offline capture with no session, no entities and both clocks pinned. Anisotropy 1 → 41,509 differing pixels in the tree band; anisotropy 16 (GL's value, and retail's `m_D3DCaps.MaxAnisotropy`) → 22,266, and the rest of the frame fell to 497 px of 563,200, i.e. 8.8e-04, inside the campaign's 0.001 threshold. The residual was not a sub-pixel shift (an integer shift search found none), not a sharpness change (high-frequency energy matched within 5%), and not depth precision (forcing Vulkan's window-depth range to GL's compressed [0.5, 1] moved it by 3%). Monotone improvement toward GL's own anisotropy with no knob left is what made it a driver property rather than a bug. | Distant foliage shimmers or reads denser than retail's. The class is confined to alpha-blended dense overlap: opaque terrain, roofs, walls, water, statics, the character and the whole retained UI are inside threshold. **Now unfalsifiable by self-differential** — with GL gone, the only way to retire this row is a side-by-side against the retail client, not against another acdream backend. | `RenderDeviceD3D::SetDefaultD3DStates @ 0x005a3800`, whose `SetSamplerState(stage, 0xA /* D3DSAMP_MAXANISOTROPY */, m_D3DCaps.MaxAnisotropy)` at `0x005a4230` is the value acdream requests |
| AD-47 | **Filed at Campaign V slice V11 (2026-07-29); the campaign's risk register scheduled this row here.** Multisample resolve sample POSITIONS are unspecified by both the Vulkan and D3D9 specifications, so acdream's MSAA-on silhouette edges do not match retail's pixel-for-pixel even at the same sample count. acdream's strict pixel gates therefore run with MSAA forced OFF on every arm, and MSAA-on gets only a relaxed visual smoke. | `src/AcDream.App/RuntimeOptions.cs` (`ACDREAM_MSAA_SAMPLES`); forced to 0 in `tools/run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1` | Measured, not assumed: plan §5.5.16 compared two backends at 4x and found **8.83% of the frame differing — 81,359 px of 921,600 — essentially all of it hugging foliage and silhouette edges**, which is ninety-fold over the 0.001 gate threshold. That is two implementations' sample patterns, not a renderer divergence, which is why forcing MSAA off is what makes the remaining difference attributable rather than a threshold relaxation. | Edge quality on thin geometry (fence rails, foliage, distant railings) differs from retail at the sub-pixel level whenever MSAA is on, which is the ordinary player configuration. Because the gates run MSAA off, **a real regression confined to the multisample path would not be caught by them** — that is the actual exposure this row records. | D3D9 `D3DRS_MULTISAMPLEANTIALIAS` / `D3DMULTISAMPLE_TYPE` as set by `RenderDeviceD3D::SetDefaultD3DStates @ 0x005a3800`; retail's sample pattern is the driver's, exactly as ours is |
| AD-48 | **Filed at Campaign V slice V11 (2026-07-29).** Presentation is paced by the Vulkan swapchain present mode (FIFO, i.e. VSync) or by a refresh-rate software pacer when uncapped, rather than by retail's D3D9 `Present` with its own frame-rate limiter. Frame delivery cadence, and therefore input-to-photon latency, is a property of our present path rather than a port of retail's. | `src/AcDream.App/RuntimeOptions.cs:98-100`; `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Gpu/Vk/VulkanSwapchain.cs` | Retail's limiter and ours both bound the frame rate to the display; the simulation is fixed-step and clock-driven, so gameplay timing does not ride on presentation cadence. The uncapped path exists for measurement and is not the shipping default. | A pacing mismatch shows up as judder or input latency that differs from retail's feel without any visual difference in a captured frame — invisible to every pixel gate by construction. Issue **#235** (the capped/RDP jump-presentation cadence alias) is the known live instance of this class. | D3D9 `IDirect3DDevice9::Present`; retail's frame limiter in `RenderDeviceD3D` |
