+# C2 — surviving pre-OVERHAUL performance artifacts
+
+**OWNER-DEFERRED 2026-09-05 12:53+02:** FPS/performance work is for later.
+This completed read-only inventory is preserved; do not start the comparison
+or optimization now. C2 performance is deferred, not passed or removed.
+
+2026-09-05 read-only preparation; NOT a C2 run or PASS. Wegener searched
+bounded campaign docs/logs/artifacts; lead independently read the anchor
+reports, environment disclosure, frame summary and startup settings, checked
+referenced artifact existence, and hashed all four reports below. No old
+binary was built or launched. Current owner-fix graphics remain first priority.
+
+## Accepted pre-OH anchor

+`b8befded8b7bfa49628dcf3ded9436a19dd22c70`. Both reports declare source/binary
+identity, PASS and graceful exit0:
+
+- `logs/connected-r6-soak-20260831-083908.report.json`: nine checkpoints,
+  eighteen turn/stationary samples, 16,447 recorded frames. All ten non-null
+  named artifact paths exist (including report, logs, CSV, summary, counters,
+  environment disclosure and checkpoint timeline).
+- `logs/connected-world-gate-20260831-083305/report.json`: six capped
+  checkpoints and ONE fresh uncapped-reconnect checkpoint; both artifact
+  directories exist. This is not a complete uncapped nine-stop route.
+
+The R6 profile is retail/off render pack, 1280x720 FIFO, RX9070XT driver
+2.0.395, quality High overridden to near4/far8/MSAA4/aniso16/A2C=true/
+maxCompletions4. Profiler, runtime counters and movement-truth logging are on;
+contention capture is off. The available report does not establish whether
+the session used a physical display or RDP. This is NOT the current owner
+High atmospheric / 1600x900 / far25 profile. Preserve historical route labels,
+but use coordinates for scene identity (see479-rynthid-location-evidence.md).
+
+Do not treat the route-wide p50/p99 or headline FPS as a stationary C2 window:
+the full CSV includes preparation, travel and checkpoint work. Recompute
+the exact matched windows and distinguish missing GPU samples from zero.
+
+## Other surviving dense-town results
+
+Both have actual companion artifacts, PASS, two turn/stationary samples and
+one checkpoint, with the same profile except Immediate presentation:

+
+Neither commit is the accepted b8befded anchor. The intervening170133/170414
+reports failed before samples and must not supply a baseline. Agent also
+located older VM0 real client logs, but those are pre-AR rather than pre-OH,
+MSAA0, observer-free and a different workload; no substitution is authorized
+by their mere existence. August22 Medium/off reports cited elsewhere were
+not found in campaign logs during this bounded search.
+
+No verified pre-OH capped-Arwic, Tusker, cathedral-stair or Facility performance
+baseline was recovered here. This is a coverage gap, not a claim that those
+files cannot exist anywhere. C2's complete20% comparison remains unproven.
+
+## Execution constraints for the eventual comparison
+
+The existing R6/lifecycle wrappers are useful route/artifact references but
+their timeout tails force-kill clients. Do NOT execute them unchanged under
+the owner's graceful-only rule. Their preflight also needs the separate
+retail-client check. Use a bounded graceful-only adaptation or the current
+selfgate runner, pin the session/package/settings and exact rebuilt HEAD,
+and disclose observers. Never run old and new clients side by side. Script
+PASS does not establish the C2 regression threshold, retained graph/membership
+bytes, alpha high-water or absence of long preparation tails. Current #481
+entry profiling is separate from this whole-campaign comparison.
