-## #184 — Remote monsters overlap (arms interpenetrating) in a crowd; retail barely overlaps
+## #184 — [DONE 2026-07-08 · `37a94e1f`+`f51c1dff`+`e1ac56cc`+`ddb5a967`] Remote monsters overlap (arms interpenetrating) in a crowd; retail barely overlaps
 
-**Status:** SYMPTOM RESOLVED + gated (Slices 1+3 shipped, `37a94e1f`+`f51c1dff`); Slice 2 HANDED OFF
-to a fresh session. The reported symptom — packed monsters interpenetrating — is FIXED end-to-end:
-monsters visible, de-overlapped, at their true creature radii. **Slice 2** (2a: extract a testable
-`RemotePhysicsUpdater` per Code Structure Rule 1; 2b: unify the player/NPC fork so grounded player
-remotes gain the sweep + shadow-follows-resolved, retiring the #40 "remotes skip the transition"
-adaptation) is a **gated behavior change to the frozen R4/R5 arc** (not a no-gate refactor — the
-earlier characterization was wrong). The #40 sweep-blip risk was investigated and is DEAD (Path B
-already runs that config stably + a Core test proves it). Full plan + exact sites + the #40 verdict:
-`docs/research/2026-07-07-184-slice2-unify-extract-handoff.md`.
+**Status:** CLOSED 2026-07-08 — all four slices shipped + both visual gates passed. Slices 1+3
+(`37a94e1f`+`f51c1dff`) fixed the reported monster-overlap symptom (gate passed). **Slice 2** shipped
+this session: **2a** (`e1ac56cc`) extracted the ~690-line remote DR tick into a testable
+`RemotePhysicsUpdater` (Code Structure Rule 1) — byte-exact, behaviour-neutral. **2b** (`ddb5a967`)
+collapsed the player/NPC fork so EVERY remote runs the same catch-up + sweep + shadow-follows-resolved.
+A 3-lens adversarial review (workflow `wf_b163315b-14f`, 10 agents) corrected the design's player gate:
+retail lets two non-PK players WALK THROUGH each other (PvP exemption — the remote-player mover now
+carries `IsPlayer|EdgeSlide` like the local player), so 2b's player win is that players now collide with
+monsters + terrain + walls (they skipped all collision before) while still passing through each other;
+the review also caught + fixed a UM-first placement-snap gap (invisible-player risk). **Gate PASSED
+(user, 2026-07-08): "Looks good."** #40 "remotes skip the transition" premise retired. Full plan + the
+review corrections: `docs/research/2026-07-07-184-slice2-unify-extract-handoff.md` + the physics digest
+banner. Register: TS-41 retired, TS-44 narrowed, TS-23 extended, AP-86/87/88.

 # Handoff: #184 Slice 2 — extract `RemotePhysicsUpdater` (2a) + unify the player/NPC remote fork (2b)
 
-**Date:** 2026-07-07 · **Status:** PLANNED + DE-RISKED, implementation NOT started (deliberately
-deferred to a fresh focused session). **Decision (user):** do the FULL 2a + 2b (not the focused-2b
-subset) in a new session.
+**Date:** 2026-07-07 · **Status:** ✅ DONE — 2a shipped `e1ac56cc` (byte-exact extract), 2b shipped
+`ddb5a967` (fork collapse), **visual gate PASSED 2026-07-08 (user: "Looks good") → #184 FULLY CLOSED.**
+A 3-lens adversarial review (workflow `wf_b163315b-14f`) corrected the plan below in one place: the
+player gate is NOT "players de-overlap" — retail lets two non-PK players WALK THROUGH each other (PvP
+exemption), so the remote-player mover was given `IsPlayer|EdgeSlide` (§4-adjacent). 2b's player win is
+that players now collide with monsters + terrain + walls (Path A skipped all collision) while still
+passing through each other. See the physics digest banner + ISSUES #184 for the shipped writeup.
