docs(phase): Cluster A — partial ship + handoff
Cluster A's investigation pinned #86 (picker) as structural and closed it (Phase B). #84 and #85 both pinned on missing indoor cell tracking; Phase D promoted CellId via AABB containment which un-stuck the spawn-in-building case (closes #84 partially) but proved too tight for threshold/doorway cells to keep CellId indoor during normal walking. The proper fix is retail's portal-based cell traversal; filed as a new ISSUES.md issue (see body) for the follow-up phase. Phase E diagnostic infrastructure ([cell-cache] + extended [indoor-bsp]) stays in place as scaffolding for that work. ISSUES.md: #86 → Recently closed. #84 status updated to PARTIAL with resolution paragraph. #85 status update note added. New issue #87 filed for portal-based indoor cell tracking. Roadmap: Cluster A added to Recently shipped with partial-ship note. Forward entry added for the portal-traversal follow-up under Phase G. CLAUDE.md: current-phase paragraph updated to reflect Cluster A partial ship. Next phase deferred to Claude's choice in a future session.

**Description:** Clicking through a wall from the outside selects NPCs
|
||||
and objects inside the building. The `WorldPicker` raycast doesn't
|
||||
intersect cell BSP geometry.
|
||||
**Description:** `PhysicsDataCache.TryFindContainingCell` promotes the
|
||||
player's `CellId` to an indoor EnvCell when their world position falls
|
||||
inside any cached cell's local AABB. This is too tight to keep `CellId`
|
||||
promoted to an indoor cell during normal walking. Threshold/doorway cells
|
||||
(the polys that sit at a room boundary) have AABB Z ranges of only ~0.2 m;
|
||||
a standing player at local Z=0.46 m is OUTSIDE the AABB and containment
|
||||
fails. Because `CellId` drifts back to the outdoor cell, the indoor-BSP
|
||||
collision branch in `TransitionTypes.FindEnvCollisions` is gated out for
|
||||
most movement, so walls don't block from inside the house and the floor
|
||||
physics is unreliable. The retail fix is portal-based cell traversal —
|
||||
when the player crosses a cell portal boundary, the cell ownership
|
||||
propagates through portal connectivity data in `CEnvCell`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root cause / status:** `WorldPicker.BuildRay + Pick` (introduced in
|
||||
Phase B.4) tests against entity AABBs and scenery BSPs but probably
|
||||
not cell BSP. Outdoor NPCs are pickable because their entity AABB is
|
||||
the test target; indoor NPCs are pickable from outside because the
|
||||
wall isn't in the ray's intersection set.
|
||||
**Evidence:** `launch-cluster-a-cache-diag3.log` (Cluster A Phase E
|
||||
capture). Cell `0xA9B40143` (real room) has
|
||||
`physicsPolyCount=14 bspTotalLeafPolys=14 bspUnmatchedIds=0
|
||||
aabbMin=(-11.60,-1.60,0.00) aabbMax=(-6.20,7.60,2.80)` — geometry is
|
||||
complete and the AABB spans 2.8 m height, which works. Cell `0xA9B40146`
|
||||
(threshold/doorway) has `physicsPolyCount=4
|
||||
aabbMin=(-11.60,2.80,-0.20) aabbMax=(-10.00,7.60,0.00)` — Z range is
|
||||
only 0.2 m; a standing player is always outside it. Only 6 `[indoor-bsp]`
|
||||
lines fired across an entire indoor walking session (all during mid-jump
|
||||
frames when the player was briefly inside the room AABB at jump height).

The occluder is wired from `GameWindow` using the loaded `PhysicsDataCache`

longer selectable. Screen-rect occlusion tests verify the filter across

Component 2: replaced `NullLogger<ObjectMeshManager>` with a Console-backed `ConsoleErrorLogger<T>` so WB's intentional `_logger.LogError(ex, ...)` at the swallow site at `ObjectMeshManager.cs:589` writes `[wb-error]` lines. **Root cause definitively identified in one capture: `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` from `DatReaderWriter.Setup.Unpack` at WB's `PrepareEnvCellMeshData` line 1223 — `TryGet<Setup>(stab.Id, ...)` was called blindly on every `envCell.StaticObjects` id without checking the Setup-prefix bit. GfxObj-typed stabs (0x01xxxxxx) caused mid-deserialization throws, bubbling up to PrepareMeshData's outer catch which silently returned null.

# Indoor walking Phase 1 — BSP cluster (Cluster A) — handoff (2026-05-19)
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-05-19.
|
||||
**Branch:** `claude/competent-robinson-dec1f4` (commits land here; merge to main handled by controller).
|
||||
**Predecessor:** Indoor lighting + rendering Phase 2 (fix) — floors now render in Holtburg Inn. Nine pre-existing indoor bugs surfaced the moment floors were visible; this cluster addresses the collision/interaction subset (#84, #85, #86) and adds diagnostic infrastructure for the follow-up portal-traversal phase.
|
||||
**Plan:** [`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-19-indoor-walking-phase1-bsp-cluster.md`](../superpowers/plans/2026-05-19-indoor-walking-phase1-bsp-cluster.md).

|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR
|
||||
|
||||
Cluster A shipped **partially**. Three of the five planned phases (A, B, D)
|
||||
produced real behavior changes; two (C — obstacle audit — and E — cell-cache
|
||||
diagnostics) are diagnostic/research phases. The cluster's investigation
|
||||
confirmed that the wall-collision failures (#84, #85) all root in one cause:
|
||||
the player's `CellId` is never promoted to an indoor cell during normal
|
||||
walking, so the indoor-BSP collision branch in `TransitionTypes.FindEnvCollisions`
|
||||
never fires. Phase D implemented an AABB-containment shortcut that resolves
|
||||
the specific "spawn inside a building and be stuck above the floor" case but
|
||||
proved too tight to keep `CellId` promoted through threshold/doorway cells
|
||||
during normal outdoor→indoor entry.
|
||||
|
||||
**#86** (click selection penetrates walls) is **fully closed** — a clean,
|
||||
self-contained fix in `WorldPicker`.
|
||||
|
||||
**#84** is **partially closed** — the spawn-in-building symptom is gone; the
|
||||
remaining wall-collision symptom during normal walking is tracked under the
|
||||
new **#87**.
|
||||
|
||||
**#85** remains **open**; its root cause is confirmed identical to #84's
|
||||
remaining symptom and is also tracked under #87.
|
||||
|
||||
**#87** (indoor portal-based cell tracking) is **filed** and ready for the
|
||||
follow-up phase.

## What shipped
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase A — `[indoor-bsp]` probe
|
||||
|
||||
New `PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeIndoorBspEnabled` toggle (env var
|
||||
`ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP` + DebugPanel checkbox under
|
||||
`ACDREAM_DEVTOOLS=1`). When enabled, logs one `[indoor-bsp]` line each time
|
||||
`TransitionTypes.FindEnvCollisions` takes the indoor-cell branch —
|
||||
i.e., when `CellId` is an EnvCell id and the BSP contains physics polys. The
|
||||
probe serves as a presence detector: if `[indoor-bsp]` never fires during
|
||||
indoor walking, the BSP is not being consulted at all.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase B — WorldPicker cell-BSP ray occlusion (closes #86)
|
||||
|
||||
New `CellBspRayOccluder` class (in `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/`) computes
|
||||
`NearestWallT`: the smallest ray parameter at which the pick ray intersects
|
||||
any cached EnvCell BSP polygon. Both `WorldPicker.Pick` overloads now accept
|
||||
an optional `cellOccluder` callback and filter out any hit candidate whose
|
||||
ray T exceeds `NearestWallT`. The occluder is wired from `GameWindow` using
|
||||
the `PhysicsDataCache` cell structs that Phase D also extends.
|
||||
|
||||
Before Phase B: clicking through a wall from the outside selected NPCs/items
|
||||
inside the building — `WorldPicker.BuildRay + Pick` (Phase B.4b) tested only
|
||||
entity AABBs and scenery BSPs, not EnvCell BSP geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
After Phase B: entities behind the nearest wall from the camera's perspective
|
||||
are filtered out of the candidate set. Screen-rect unit tests verify the
|
||||
filter across hit/miss/occlusion scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase D — AABB containment for indoor CellId (partial #84 fix)
|
||||
|
||||
`PhysicsEngine.ResolveOutdoorCellId` is extended with an indoor
|
||||
cell-containment scan. After resolving the outdoor cell, the method checks
|
||||
whether the player's world position falls inside any cached `CellPhysics`
|
||||
AABB; if so, `CellId` is promoted to that EnvCell. This enables the
|
||||
`FindEnvCollisions` indoor-BSP branch.
|
||||
|
||||
New `PhysicsDataCache.TryFindContainingCell(worldPos)` does the AABB scan.
|
||||
New `CellPhysics.WorldAabb` caches the cell-local AABB in world space on
|
||||
first call (transforms the BSP bounding sphere's local AABB by the cell
|
||||
origin). New `RegisterCellStructForTest` helper allows unit test callers to
|
||||
populate the cache directly.
|
||||
|
||||
Also fixes the L.2e bare-low-byte preservation bug: `ResolveOutdoorCellId`
|
||||
was silently truncating the player CellId to the low 16 bits; the fix
|
||||
preserves the full 32-bit value.
|
||||
|
||||
**What this solved:** player spawning inside a building (e.g., logging in
|
||||
from a position inside Holtburg cottage) no longer sees `walkable=False` for
|
||||
hundreds of resolves with world Z=94.000. Phase D promotes CellId to the
|
||||
indoor cell, the floor's BSP polys are found, the player can move.
|
||||
|
||||
**What this did NOT solve:** the `[indoor-bsp]` probe fires only 6 times
|
||||
during an entire indoor walking session (all mid-jump, when the body happens
|
||||
to be at a height that falls inside a room AABB). During normal walking on
|
||||
the floor, the player's world Z is at the AABB floor level or lower —
|
||||
outside the AABB for threshold/doorway cells that have only a 0.2 m Z range.
|
||||
See Phase E evidence below.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase E — Cell-cache diagnostic infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
Two commits add `[cell-cache]` log output (env var
|
||||
`ACDREAM_PROBE_CELL_CACHE`, also DebugPanel). For each EnvCell in the
|
||||
physics cache, the probe logs:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[cell-cache] id=0xA9B40143 physicsPolyCount=14 bspTotalLeafPolys=14
|
||||
bspUnmatchedIds=0 aabbMin=(-11.60,-1.60,0.00) aabbMax=(-6.20,7.60,2.80)
|
||||
bspOrigin=(0.00,0.00,0.00) bspRadius=9.97
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The extended second commit adds `bspTotalLeafPolys`, `bspUnmatchedIds`,
|
||||
`bspOrigin`, and `bspRadius` fields to give a complete picture of cell
|
||||
geometry from the physics cache perspective. This infrastructure stays in
|
||||
place as scaffolding for the portal-traversal phase.

## Probe evidence — log file findings
|
||||
|
||||
### `launch-cluster-a-capture.log`
|
||||
|
||||
Initial probe run with `ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP=1`. Result: **zero
|
||||
`[indoor-bsp]` lines** during outdoor walking and during approach to the
|
||||
Holtburg cottage doorway. This was the first confirmation that the indoor-BSP
|
||||
branch was entirely gated out. The player's CellId remained an outdoor cell
|
||||
for all movement.
|
||||
|
||||
### `launch-cluster-a-verify.log`
|
||||
|
||||
Post-Phase-D run. Observed `[indoor-bsp]` lines **only during jump frames**
|
||||
(6 total). When the player jumped inside the cottage, the body briefly rose
|
||||
to a height inside the room AABB, CellId promoted to `0xA9B40143`, and the
|
||||
indoor-BSP branch fired. On landing, the body returned to floor level, fell
|
||||
outside the AABB, and CellId reverted to the outdoor cell. Confirmed that
|
||||
AABB containment works for the room cell when the player is mid-air, but
|
||||
fails at floor level.
|
||||
|
||||
### `launch-cluster-a-cache-diag2.log`
|
||||
|
||||
First `[cell-cache]` probe run (Phase E first commit). Showed all cached
|
||||
cells with their physics poly counts and local AABBs. Confirmed 14 physics
|
||||
polys in cell `0xA9B40143` (the room), indicating BSP geometry is present
|
||||
and complete. Identified cell `0xA9B40146` as a 4-poly threshold cell.
|
||||
|
||||
### `launch-cluster-a-cache-diag3.log`
|
||||
|
||||
Extended `[cell-cache]` probe run (Phase E second commit). Full data:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[cell-cache] id=0xA9B40143 physicsPolyCount=14 bspTotalLeafPolys=14
|
||||
bspUnmatchedIds=0 aabbMin=(-11.60,-1.60,0.00) aabbMax=(-6.20,7.60,2.80)
|
||||
bspOrigin=(0.00,0.00,0.00) bspRadius=9.97
|
||||
```
|
||||
Room cell: 2.80 m AABB height — works for mid-air player.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[cell-cache] id=0xA9B40146 physicsPolyCount=4
|
||||
aabbMin=(-11.60,2.80,-0.20) aabbMax=(-10.00,7.60,0.00)
|
||||
bspRadius=2.3
|
||||
```
|
||||
Threshold/doorway cell: 0.20 m AABB Z range (from -0.20 to 0.00). A standing
|
||||
player at local Z=0.46 m is outside this AABB. **This is why AABB containment
|
||||
fails for normal walking through doorways.**
|
||||
|
||||
Key conclusion: the geometry is correct and complete (14/14 polys match between
|
||||
physics cache and BSP leaf count). The problem is purely in the cell-ownership
|
||||
tracking mechanism, not the collision data itself.
|
||||

|
||||
## Diagnostic infrastructure remaining in place
|
||||
|
||||
Both probes stay committed and wired. They serve as scaffolding for the
|
||||
portal-traversal follow-up phase:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP=1`** / DebugPanel "Indoor BSP probe": logs one
|
||||
`[indoor-bsp]` line each time `FindEnvCollisions` takes the indoor-cell
|
||||
branch. After portal traversal is implemented, this probe should fire
|
||||
consistently whenever the player is indoors.
|
||||
|
||||
- **`ACDREAM_PROBE_CELL_CACHE=1`** / DebugPanel "Cell cache probe": dumps all
|
||||
cached EnvCell physics data (poly counts, BSP bounding sphere, AABB,
|
||||
unmatched ID count). Useful for verifying that cell structs load correctly
|
||||
and that portal connectivity data is present.
|
||||
|
||||
Both are gated behind `PhysicsDiagnostics` static class (existing pattern
|
||||
from L.2a).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Follow-up items for the portal-traversal phase
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Implement portal-based indoor cell tracking (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 `CEnvCell` portal
|
||||
connectivity data. PDB symbols in `docs/research/named-retail/acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt`
|
||||
and struct definitions in `docs/research/named-retail/acclient.h` lines
|
||||
31715-31726 (`CCellStructure` shape). The retail reference implementation
|
||||
is the right oracle — do not guess at the traversal algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Audit-trail note: add retail PDB symbol citations to `TryFindContainingCell`.**
|
||||
The current implementation in `src/AcDream.Core/Physics/PhysicsDataCache.cs`
|
||||
~line 261 is documented as a shortcut. The follow-up phase should add
|
||||
the PDB symbol citation (e.g., `// retail: CObjMaint::HandleObjectEnterCell
|
||||
// docs/research/named-retail/acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:XXXXX`)
|
||||
per the Phase D code-review I1 note, so future readers know this is intentionally
|
||||
replacing an interim implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Consider renaming `ResolveOutdoorCellId` → `ResolveCellId`.**
|
||||
The method now handles both outdoor and indoor cell resolution. The rename
|
||||
is low-risk (one call site in `PhysicsEngine.cs`) and would reduce the
|
||||
cognitive overhead for the next phase's author. Noted as a Phase D code-review
|
||||
M2 suggestion — do it in the same commit as the portal-traversal implementation
|
||||
to keep the rename and the semantic change together.
