Release gate 15,283/0/0; connected lifecycle/reconnect route PASS pack-off
and High; VM0 invariance on the final binary (robust 5-10 px, lifestone
band); #422 0/40 instrumented runs. Performance-matrix section to follow.

**Future / unscheduled — Campaign AR:** the opt-in [Atmospheric Rendering / Shader Packs campaign](2026-08-21-atmospheric-rendering.md) makes moving authored sun-and-moon directional shadows from trees, monsters, players, and buildings its Tier-2 headline while preserving acdream's current retail-faithful renderer as the default and leaving physics, collision, gameplay, and network behavior unchanged; the project owner assigned Campaign AR on 2026-08-22 without displacing active M4 gameplay work. The [celestial source contract](../research/2026-08-22-dereth-celestial-shadow-sources.md) selects sun, dominant moon, then secondary moon by rendered direction while retaining AC's single authored directional-energy channel; sun rays and volumetrics remain sun-only. The previously referenced #268 + TS-8 package is complete and retired. Stage 1's automated correctness, performance, lifetime, locked-restore, Release, evidence, documentation, and project-owner live gates completed on 2026-08-22 after the opt-in exposure correction. The [Stage 2 connected and closeout gate](../research/2026-08-22-atmospheric-stage2-connected-gate.md) now closes every available machine-local ACE, dense A/B, long-lifetime, graphical-package, shader, Release, and complete-test row. The implemented two-client gate proved that ACE rejects two concurrent characters on the one available account and is ready for separate observer credentials without recording secrets. A distinct-account remote-player row, unavailable physical GPU classes, and final project-owner pack-off/pack-on acceptance remain external gates; Campaign AR is not yet declared shipped.
**Planned, owner-directed — Campaign VM (VisualMaster):** the [VisualMaster campaign](2026-08-22-visualmaster-campaign.md) closes the [Campaign AR review](../research/2026-08-22-campaign-ar-review.md) findings with evidence (pack-off pixel/perf invariance vs `6c79d35c`, the un-anchored detail fade, a linear-light post stack, truthful closeouts, volumetric jitter) and adds weather-driven foliage wind behind the render pack. Named by the owner 2026-08-22; awaiting the owner's goal.
**In flight, automated closeout complete — Campaign VM (VisualMaster):** the [VisualMaster campaign](2026-08-22-visualmaster-campaign.md) closed the [Campaign AR review](../research/2026-08-22-campaign-ar-review.md) findings with evidence: VM0 proved the pack-off path is the pre-campaign renderer (pixel identity on static content, CPU −13 %, allocation −25×); VM2 cdb-read retail's live detail path (single-pass texture stages, the z-fade dead for built meshes) and VM1 re-ported #226 to it; VM4 made the documents truthful (real hardware darkens, the fallback brightened); VM5 de-banded the volumetrics (#421 filed); VM3 put the post stack in linear light with a numerically neutral preset; VM6 added weather-driven foliage wind behind the render pack (scenery-only, cutout/trunk motions, casters follow, independent of the shadow gate) through five Opus review rounds and a repeat-floor pixel apparatus ([note](../research/2026-08-23-vm6-foliage-wind-pixel-proof.md)). VM7's automated gates ran 2026-08-23 on `99d5b2a6`: release gate 15,283/0/0, connected lifecycle/reconnect route PASS pack-off and pack-on, final pack-off vs `base+normals` robust diff 5–10 px, #422 not reproducible in 40 instrumented runs. **Owed: the owner's VM3 and VM6 visual gates and the VM7 pack-off/pack-on matrix, then the merge to main; not declared shipped until then.**
