 ## #184 — Remote monsters overlap (arms interpenetrating) in a crowd; retail barely overlaps
 
-**Status:** IN-PROGRESS (redo implemented + reviewed — awaiting the user visual re-gate)
+**Status:** SYMPTOM RESOLVED + gated (Slices 1+3 shipped, `37a94e1f`+`f51c1dff`); only the optional
+internal refactor (Slice 2) remains. The reported symptom — packed monsters interpenetrating — is
+FIXED end-to-end: monsters visible, de-overlapped, at their true creature radii. **Slice 2** (collapse
+the player-remote Path A into the same catch-up+sweep model + extract a testable `RemotePhysicsUpdater`
+per Code Structure Rule 1) is an internal refactor with NO visual change — no gate needed; not urgent.
 **Severity:** MEDIUM
