docs: reconcile project status and navigation

Browse source 
Add a canonical documentation map, modernize the public README, and align milestone, roadmap, architecture, issue, divergence, and session guidance with the July 20 baseline. Correct the far-teleport residual to issue #153, close visually accepted indicator and terrain-tiling work, record the remaining detail-overlay and build-warning debt, and deprecate the duplicate legacy bug ledger.

# acdream — strategic roadmap
**Status:** Living document. Updated 2026-07-20. **M3 active; automated implementation complete, visual gates pending.** M2's connected demo loop is complete. M3 now has the retail cast-intent/component/target lifecycle, exact live enchantment wire state, scoped Magic input, retained spell bar, spellbook, component book, positive/negative effects panels with authored rows and selected-spell details, the complete seven-control gameplay indicator strip and its Character Information/Link/Vitae detail pages, and shared `gmPanelUI` geometry/switching over the Step 9 projectile/PhysicsScript/particle/portal foundation. The remaining M3 work is the connected single-client magic-UI/casting gate and final two-client portal-out/materialization observer gate.
**Status:** Living document. Updated 2026-07-20. **M3 active; automated implementation and connected single-client magic/portal gates complete.** M2's connected demo loop is complete. M3 now has the retail cast-intent/component/target lifecycle, exact live enchantment wire state, scoped Magic input, retained spell bar, spellbook, component book, positive/negative effects panels with authored rows and selected-spell details, the complete seven-control gameplay indicator strip and its Character Information/Link/Vitae detail pages, and shared `gmPanelUI` geometry/switching over the Step 9 projectile/PhysicsScript/particle/portal foundation. The next gate is a local visual rebaseline of the new R6 object-frame path; the final M3 requirement is the two-client portal-out/materialization observer gate. Issue #225's lifestone/particle alpha comparison is a separate rendering visual gate.
**Purpose:** One source of truth for where the project is and where it's going. Every observed defect or missing feature has a named phase that owns it; when something looks wrong in-game, look here to find the phase that'll address it. Implementation details live in per-phase specs under `docs/superpowers/specs/`, not in this file.

- **✓ SHIPPED — G.1 — Sky + weather + day-night.** Deterministic client-side from Portal Year time. Sky dome geometry + keyframe gradients + rain/snow particles. See `r12-weather-daynight.md`. Full data + visual stack shipped: Region dat loader, keyframe interp, WeatherSystem with 5-kind PDF + transitions + storm flashes, WorldSession→WorldTimeService sync via ConnectRequest+TimeSync, SkyRenderer with sky-object arcs + UV scroll, rain/snow billboard renderer, F7/F10 debug cycle keys.
- **✓ SHIPPED — G.2 — Dynamic lighting.** 8-light D3D-style fixed pipeline. Hard-cutoff at Range, no attenuation inside. Cell ambient. Shader UBO per frame. See `r13-dynamic-lighting.md`. SceneLightingUbo std140 at binding=1 feeds terrain + mesh + mesh_instanced + sky shaders. LightingHookSink auto-registers Setup.Lights at entity stream-in, flips IsLit on SetLightHook, unregisters on landblock unload.
- **Indoor portal-based cell tracking (follow-up to Indoor walking Phase 1 / issue #87).** Replace `PhysicsDataCache.TryFindContainingCell` AABB containment with retail's `CObjMaint::HandleObjectEnterCell` portal traversal. When the player crosses a cell portal boundary, `CellId` propagates through the `CEnvCell` portal connectivity graph. Prerequisite for wall collision from outside (#85) and the remaining #84 threshold symptom. PDB symbols and `acclient.h` `CCellStructure` refs are in place (see #87). **Unblocks G.3.**
