file #131 (portal swirl gone through doorways) + #132 (candle flame vs aperture background) + the [outstage] capture probe

Two user reports from the #124 gate session, both axioms:
- #131: "the portal swirl is missing, when I look out from inside a
  house. Appears when I walk out again." Mechanism frame: under an
  interior root an outdoor dynamic's particles draw ONLY via the
  landscape slice's Scene pass (#118 outside-stage routing; #121
  excludes them from the last-pass particle callback) - if any link
  fails, the swirl draws nowhere exactly when indoors. Desk-exonerated
  already: filter key conventions uniform, the routing predicate
  correct, sphere from vertex bounds.
- #132: "I have a candle ... when a wall is behind it it shows, but if
  I turn a bit and the opening through a house is behind it candle
  light disappears." Background-dependent => per-pixel depth/blend at
  the aperture region, not owner culling. Possible overlap with the
  #124 look-in sub-pass (new pre-clear content in those pixels) - the
  pre-77cef4c check is in the issue.

Apparatus (env-gated, zero cost off): ACDREAM_PROBE_OUTSTAGE=1 ->
[outstage] per-slice outside-stage routing + cone verdict per dynamic
(print-on-change, RetailPViewRenderer) + [outstage-pt] slice
Scene-particle id set + live attached-emitter match count (GameWindow).
One capture standing inside looking at the portal pins which link
breaks.

+## #131 — Portal swirl invisible when viewed from inside a building through the doorway
+
+**Status:** OPEN
+**Severity:** MEDIUM (portals are landmark objects; the through-door view is common)
+**Filed:** 2026-06-12 (user report, #124 gate session)
+**Component:** render — outside-stage dynamics' particles under interior roots (#118/#121 family)
+
+**Symptom (user, axiom):** "the portal swirl is missing, when I look out
+from inside a house. Appears when I walk out again."
+
+**Mechanism frame:** under an interior root an outdoor dynamic routes to
+the OUTSIDE stage (`_outsideStageDynamics`, #118) and its particles'
+ONLY path is the landscape slice's Scene pass
+(`_outdoorSceneParticleEntityIds`); the last-pass particle callback
+deliberately excludes outside-stage entities (#121: "already drew in
+the slice"). If any link fails (slice cone verdict, the id set, emitter
+matching, draw order vs the slice's blend state), the swirl draws
+NOWHERE exactly when indoors — and reappears outdoors where
+DrawDynamicsLast + DrawDynamicsParticles take over. Matches the report
+exactly.
+
+**Desk-exonerated (2026-06-12):** key conventions are uniform
+(`ParticleEntityKey` = ServerGuid-first at all three filter sites);
+`DynamicDrawsInOutsideStage` routes outdoor dynamics correctly;
+`EntitySphere` uses the vertex-derived bounds.
+
+**Apparatus (shipped, env-gated):** `ACDREAM_PROBE_OUTSTAGE=1` —
+`[outstage]` (per-slice routing + cone verdict per outside-stage
+dynamic, print-on-change) + `[outstage-pt]` (slice Scene-particle id
+set + live attached-emitter matched count). Capture: stand inside,
+look at the portal through the door.

+## #132 — Candle flame disappears when the through-opening background is behind it
+
+**Status:** OPEN
+**Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM
+**Filed:** 2026-06-12 (user report, #124 gate session)
+**Component:** render — cell-particle compositing vs aperture pixels
+
+**Symptom (user, axiom):** "I have a candle, when I look at the candle
+when a wall is behind it it shows, but if I turn a bit and the opening
+through a house is behind it candle light disappears."
+
+**Reading:** BACKGROUND-dependent disappearance — the candle (and its
+owner static) stays in view; only what is behind it changes. That rules
+out viewcone/owner culling (which keys on the candle's own position)
+and points at per-pixel state in the aperture region: depth left by the
+punch/seal/look-in machinery at those pixels, draw order of the cell
+particle pass vs the aperture passes, or blend state. Candidate overlap
+with the #124 look-in sub-pass (new pre-clear content in exactly those
+pixels) — check whether the symptom predates `77cef4c` by looking at a
+candle in front of a doorway WITHOUT a through-house view.
+
+**Next:** repro at the spot + `ACDREAM_PROBE_OUTSTAGE` lines for the
+same frame; then a depth-state walkthrough of the aperture pixels for
+the cell-particle pass.
