The local player now runs server MoveTos through the same verbatim
MoveToManager remotes got in V4. One commit, GameWindow + controller,
per the no-fan-out rule for coupled slices.
P1 gate (V0-pins.md P1, ported verbatim): CPhysics::SetObjectMovement
(0x00509690 @0050972e) drops any movement event whose wire autonomous
byte is set when the addressed object IsThePlayer - ACE's self-addressed
MoveToState reflection (MovementData.cs:162 IsAutonomous=1) never
reaches unpack_movement, which is what makes the retail unconditional
unpack-head interrupt safe. Gate placed AFTER the sequence gates
(retail order). The stale "ACE follows every mt=0x06 with an mt=0x00"
comment block dies with the code it excused (its causal story was
pre-#75; refuted in V0-pins P1).
Run-rate re-anchor (P1 contingency NOT needed - no AD row): the echo
tap ApplyServerRunRate is deleted outright. Both retail feeds already
exist: PlayerDescription skills via SetCharacterSkills (K-fix7) into
InqRunRate (preferred by apply_run_to_command/get_state_velocity), and
the mt-6/7 my_run_rate wire write (M13) now performed for the player by
the shared RouteServerMoveTo. The tap's InterpretedState.ForwardSpeed
overwrite was a pre-R3 mechanism that fought the ported machinery.
B.6 auto-walk deleted wholesale (~330 lines): fields, Begin/End/
DriveServerAutoWalk, IsServerAutoWalking, AutoWalkArrived, the
autoWalkConsumedMotion gates, the #69 turn-dir edge synthesizer, and
the relocated AutoWalkArrivalEpsilon/AutoWalkTurnRateFor constants
(AD-26 retired - the invented 5/30-degree bands are gone; arrival is
retail's distance predicate; turn-first is the TurnToHeading node).
TS-36 retired: Motion.InterruptCurrentMovement binds to
MoveTo.CancelMoveTo(ActionCancelled). Movement-key edges (ctor-default
params carry the 0x8000 CancelMoveTo bit), Shift (set_hold_run
interrupt:true), jump(), StopCompletely, and teleport all cancel a
running moveto through the retail chain - verified by controller-level
tests, not assumed.
MoveToComplete seam WIDENED to natural completion (Core): retail's
BeginNextNode empty-queue completion is inline CleanUp+StopCompletely
(raw @00529d47) and notifies nothing - the client-addition seam had to
fire there (both sticky and non-sticky exits) or AD-27's deferred
close-range Use/PickUp re-send never fires. Never fires on CancelMoveTo.
AD-27 re-anchored from the deleted AutoWalkArrived event.
InstallSpeculativeTurnToTarget rewired through the player's manager
(retail 9a/9b client-initiated shape): close-range -> TurnToObject,
far -> MoveToObject; AP-23 radius buckets + the #77 CanCharge
prediction survive as the params source (row re-anchored).
Per-tick: MoveTo.UseTime() at the old DriveServerAutoWalk slot
(provisional until R6, per the plan's placement decision); the P4
player-side TargetTracker twin (fields + pre-Update feed) mirrors the
remote adapter (AP-79 row widened). HitGround dual-call added on the
player landing edge AND the remote landing site - the latter closes a
V4 wiring-contract gap the adversarial review caught (retail 2d order:
minterp then moveto; without it a landing NPC's moveto never re-arms).
Also from the adversarial review: the mt-8 unresolvable-target degrade
now performs retail's params.desired_heading = wire_heading
substitution (decomp 2f case 8; invisible against ACE per P6, required
for the verbatim degrade); the V4 remote MoveToManager binding gets a
real curTime clock (the ctor stub advanced 1/30s per READ, skewing the
progress/fail-distance windows - note: the pending V4 NPC smoke ran on
the skewed clock); TS-33 row extended with the orientation-diff gap
(ApproxPositionEqual vs retail Frame::is_equal full-frame compare - a
stationary heading snap does not reach the wire; masked against ACE,
R7 outbound scope owns the fix).
MoveToMath gains HeadingFromYaw/YawFromHeading (the P5 scalar bridge
for yaw-authoritative bodies - the player's heading snap must write
Yaw, not the quaternion the controller re-derives every frame).
Tests: 3,956 green (+8). New: MoveToManagerCompletionSeamTests (arrival
fires once with None, no refire, cancel never fires, sticky handoff
order) + PlayerMoveToCutoverTests (EnterPlayerModeNow-shape rig: walks
to arrival with zero user input and zero MotionStateChanged frames -
the #75 invariant by construction; TurnToHeading rotates Yaw and snaps
exact; W-edge and jump cancel without firing complete). W6 edge suite
retargeted from the deleted echo tap to a direct apply pass (the
regression lives in ApplyInterpretedMovement, not the wire trigger).
Spec: docs/research/2026-07-03-r4-moveto/r4-port-plan.md section 3 V5.

Every remote's server-directed movement now runs the verbatim retail
MoveToManager. EnsureRemoteMotionBindings constructs it per remote with
the full V2 seam set (position/heading/velocity providers, the P4
TargetTracker adapter via setTarget/clearTarget storing the tracked
guid on RemoteMotion) and binds InterruptCurrentMovement ->
CancelMoveTo(0x36) - the retail interrupt chain (TS-36 remote side).
UM routing is retail's unpack_movement dispatch (0x00524440): the
head-interrupt + unstick fire for EVERY movement type, then mt 6/7
build MovementParameters.FromWire(raw bitfield - now surfaced by the
parser) + a MovementStruct (mt 6 resolves the target guid against the
entity table, degrading to MoveToPosition at the wire origin per the
plan's 2f; my_run_rate written from MoveToRunRate per @300603) ->
MoveTo.PerformMovement; mt 8/9 likewise via FromWireTurnTo; ONLY mt 0
flows through the interpreted funnel (the PlanMoveToStart seed is
DELETED - retail never routes MoveTo types through the interpreted
state copy).
Per tick: the P4 tracker feeds HandleUpdateTarget(Ok/ExitWorld) from
the live entity table, then UseTime runs the manager's steering/
arrival/fail handlers, then apply_current_movement recomputes velocity
- the same shape ordinary locomotion uses. The legacy driver branches,
the stale-destination timer, and the ClampApproachVelocity band-aid
are gone; arrival now uses retail cylinder distance (watch melee-range
stop distance in the visual pass).
DELETED: RemoteMoveToDriver.cs + its tests (OriginToWorld relocated
verbatim to MoveToMath; the B.6 auto-walk's two surviving constants
inlined into PlayerMovementController, dying with it in V5);
ServerControlledLocomotion.PlanMoveToStart + tests (PlanFromVelocity
survives - new AP-80 row); the RemoteMotion MoveTo capture fields.
Registers: AD-8/AD-9/AP-8/AP-9 retired; AP-79 (TargetTracker adapter,
retire R5) + AP-80 added.
Full suite green: 3,948 passed. Live smoke launched - NPC
chase/wander behavior pending user verification (recorded in the
session handoff).

P1 (BLOCKER -> RESOLVED, no adaptation needed): retail's
CPhysics::SetObjectMovement (0x00509690) drops any movement event whose
wire AUTONOMOUS byte is set when the addressed object IsThePlayer -
BEFORE unpack_movement's unconditional head-interrupt ever runs. ACE's
mt-0 MoveToState echo is IsAutonomous=1 HARDCODED (MovementData.cs:162)
and only exists when the client itself sends a MoveToState (the
2026-05-14 'echo kills auto-walk' trace was the pre-#75 build whose
overlay leaked outbound packets - post-#75 there is no echo at moveto
start). acdream parses isAutonomous (UpdateMotion.cs:129) and consumes
it NOWHERE; MotionSequenceGate cites 0x00509690 in its own doc but
omitted this final branch. V-commits port the missing gate tail and the
verbatim head-cancel lands cleanly; the informal GameWindow
no-cancel-on-non-MoveTo note retires.
P3 (Ghidra-confirmed live, textual verdict independently identical):
heading_diff 0x00528fb0 HAS the TurnLeft mirror - 360-diff whenever the
turn command != TurnRight; the extraction's 'arg unused' was a BN
x87-setcc artifact (the W6b class). P2 Ghidra-confirmed:
get_desired_heading = fwd-towards 0 / fwd-away 180 / back-towards
180 / back-away 0. ghidra-confirmations.md holds both raw decompiles.
P4-P7 pinned per V0-pins.md. RemoteMoveToDriver's stale chase/flee
class-doc claim corrected (retail and ACE AGREE on the predicates).

Workflow-produced R4 research (3 docs, 2,541 lines):
- r4-moveto-decomp.md: all 33 MoveToManager members verbatim
(0x00529010-0x0052a987) + the MovementManager type-6/7/8/9 relay +
MovementParameters::get_command. HandleUpdateTarget CONFIRMED on
MoveToManager (0x0052a7d0 — closes the R3 negative result; object
moves are DEFERRED until the first target-update callback). Walk-vs-
run = the CanCharge rule exactly (can_charge OR can_run && dist-gap >
walk_run_threshhold, riding hold_key_to_apply into DoInterpretedMotion
— MoveToManager never calls set_hold_run). Sticky handoff located
(empty queue + 0x80 → StickTo). fail_progress_count is WRITE-ONLY in
retail (no give-up threshold — do not invent one). 8-class BN
artifact ledger.
- r4-ace-moveto.md: 16 flagged ACE-isms, all retail-verified — incl. a
stale-member read (MoveToPosition checks the PREVIOUS move's
UseFinalHeading), a field transposition (InitializeLocalVars zeroes
DistanceToObject where retail zeroes the flags word), a dropped
BeginNextNode (ACE turns start one tick late), a UseTime gate
inversion, and the canceling CanCharge default+fast-path pair.
Blast radius: acdream has THREE independent approximations of this
one mechanism (DriveServerAutoWalk / RemoteMoveToDriver /
ServerControlledLocomotion) + an outdated chase/flee claim in
RemoteMoveToDriver's class doc.
- r4-port-plan.md: 7 pins (P1 blocker: retail interrupts current
movement on EVERY UM but ACE sends a companion mt-0 echo after each
MoveTo — needs a discriminator pin before V5; P3: heading_diff's
TurnLeft mirror needs one Ghidra decompile of 0x00528fb0; P4:
type-6/8 moves need a minimal TargetTracker adapter until R5),
17 gaps M1-M17, commits V0-V6. Retires AD-8/AD-9/AP-8/AP-9 + TS-36.

AP-78 retired (its condition — App seam bindings + K-fix18 deletion —
landed in W4); TS-21/TS-23/AP-30 anchors re-pinned to the post-W6
controller lines; roadmap + plan record the full W0-W7 trail; the

CLOSED by Phase R1-R3. R2+R3 share ONE pending user visual pass; R4

Five discoveries beyond the plan text: ChargeJump never called by
production code (StandingLongJump has never armed — W6 must wire the
charge-start call); the DefaultSink→sequencer path already exists
end-to-end (W6 = bind one property + delete UpdatePlayerAnimation +
the edge detector); skipTransitionLink already gone (stale plan
bullet); the #45 sidestep factor + ACDREAM_ANIM_SPEED_SCALE have no
equivalent in the shared sink path (decision required); ApplyServerRunRate's
apply_current_movement goes live once DefaultSink binds (fast re-speed
absorbs it — retail's own mid-run speed-change mechanism).

Core (dedicated agent, independently reviewed): HitGround 0x00528ac0 /
LeaveGround 0x00528b00 verbatim (creature+gravity gates, the
RemoveLinkAnimations seam — K-fix18's retail mechanism — velocity via
GetLeaveGroundVelocity with the autonomous flag, jump-state resets,
apply_current_movement re-sync); enter_default_state 0x00528c80 per A8
(fresh states, InitializeMotionTables seam, sentinel APPENDED without
draining pending_motions — pinned, Initted=1, LeaveGround tail);
Initted gates; the A3 IsThePlayer dual dispatch in
apply_current_movement / ReportExhaustion / SetWeenieObject /
SetPhysicsObject (a remote player routes INTERPRETED — the
ACE-divergence pin); set_hold_run 0x00528b70 + SetHoldKey 0x00528bb0
(XOR guard, None-only-from-Run); adjust_motion creature guard wired
(TS-34 retired); PhysicsBody.LastMoveWasAutonomous +
set_local_velocity(autonomous). Port discovery: retail's
apply_raw_movement 0x005287e0 / apply_interpreted_movement 0x00528600
ARE the already-shipped D6.2a/funnel functions — the dual dispatch
composes them instead of duplicating.
App cutover (orchestrator): the skipTransitionLink flag + both K-fix18
call sites DELETED (AP-74 retired). MotionInterpreter.DefaultSink routes
apply_current_movement's interpreted branch through the REAL funnel
dispatch when a sink is bound — so a remote's LeaveGround engages
Falling via the contact-gated funnel, replacing the forced SetCycle
(J19); the per-remote MotionTableDispatchSink is now PERSISTENT
(EnsureRemoteMotionBindings: DefaultSink + RemoveLinkAnimations +
InitializeMotionTables seams, idempotent from both the UM and
VectorUpdate paths; wire velocity re-applied after LeaveGround so it
stays authoritative). Player: seams bound to the player sequencer; the
controller's grounded→airborne EDGE now fires LeaveGround (jump()
clears OnWalkable and the same frame's transition detection fires it —
retail's order; walk-off-a-ledge gets the momentum fallback + link
strip it never had); the manual jump-block LeaveGround deleted;
LastMoveWasAutonomous set at the controller chokepoint (W6 refines).
Trace S8 re-expressed as the retail mechanism (Falling dispatch +
RemoveAllLinkAnimations = same final state the flag produced). 43 new
lifecycle tests. Registers: TS-34 + AP-74 retired; TS-38, AP-77, AP-78
added. Full suite: 3,665 passed. Live smoke: in-world clean.

JumpChargeIsAllowed 0x00527a50 (CanJump→0x49 before posture; Fallen +
Crouch..Sleeping→0x48), ChargeJump 0x005281c0 — now the ONLY place
standing_longjump arms (grounded Contact+OnWalkable + forward Ready +
no sidestep/turn, raw @305453-305466); the S2a-flagged side effect
inside contact_allows_move is DELETED (J6) with regression pins that
contact checks never touch the flag (the funnel's StandingLongJump
branch is local-player scope; the controller wires ChargeJump in W4/W6
— remotes never charge client-side, no interim regression).
jump_is_allowed 0x005282b0 full chain replaces the 15-line
approximation: IsFullyConstrained→0x47 (new PhysicsBody stub, TS-35)
BEFORE the pending-head peek (A2 ordering, pinned); head peek fires
whenever the queue is non-empty (no ACE Count>1 gate; nonzero
jump_error_code short-circuits the whole chain — test proves
JumpStaminaCost is never consulted); retail entry shape verbatim
(non-creature-weenie and gravity-off skip the ground gate; null
physics obj → 0x24 NOT 8 per A10); charge → MotionAllowsJump(fwd)
double-check → JumpStaminaCost gate (new IWeenieObject member,
always-affordable PlayerWeenie stub — TS-5 extended).
GetJumpVZ/GetLeaveGroundVelocity: epsilon corrected to retail's
0.000199999995f (was 0.001 — regression-pinned at extent 0.0005);
A5 shape (clamp 1.0, weenie-null 10.0f); A6 momentum fallback fires
only when ALL THREE components are sub-epsilon and overwrites all
three with global→local(m_velocityVector).
Jump 0x00528780: InterruptCurrentMovement no-op seam (TS-36, →R4
cancel_moveto), fires unconditionally; standing_longjump cleared ONLY
on failure (success keeps it — pinned). IWeenieObject.IsThePlayer()
(PlayerWeenie true) lands for W4's A3 dispatch.
51 new tests + 1 re-pin; superseded pre-W3 jump tests removed. Full
suite: 3,623 passed. Registers: TS-5 extended, TS-35/36/37 added.

MotionInterpreter implements IMotionDoneSink: pending_motions
(LinkedList<MotionNode>, AD-34 wording) + add_to_queue 0x00527b80 +
motions_pending 0x00527fe0 + MotionDone 0x00527ec0 verbatim (action-class
head → UnstickFromObject no-op seam (→R5 StickyManager) + BOTH states'
action-FIFO pops; head popped UNCONDITIONALLY — A7: never match-by-id,
params unread in this build) + HandleExitWorld 0x00527f30 (the raw
decompile's null-physics-obj branch would infinite-loop if translated
literally — adjudicated as retail dead code, documented on the method) +
is_standing_still 0x00527fa0 + MotionAllowsJump 0x005279e0 with the
A1-pinned literal blocklist (28-case boundary table test: Fallen blocks,
Falling passes — ACE's transposition NOT copied).
Queue producers wired into the funnel per the decomp anchors
(re-verified from the raw text): DispatchInterpretedMotion's success
path computes jump_error_code via retail's double-check shape
(motion_allows_jump(motion), then forward_command when non-action;
the DisableJumpDuringLink params leg is TODO(W5) — no MovementParameters
threaded yet) + add_to_queue; apply_interpreted_movement's turn-stop
re-queues the Ready node (@305766-305785 — the plan's producer #2 and #3
are the SAME site; StopInterpretedMotion's internal add_to_queue @305657
is W5 scope). ContextId=0 with TODO(W5): retail's own compiled code
reads an UNINITIALIZED local for it at this call site.
GameWindow: MotionDoneTarget now binds the entity's REAL consumer —
player via PlayerMovementController.Motion (new internal property),
remotes via RemoteMotion.Motion — resolved AT FIRE TIME (a remote's
RemoteMotion can be created after its first anim tick; an eager capture
would drop completions forever). Despawn runs BOTH layers' exit-world
drains (manager then interp) per §4. AD-36 narrowed (consumed for
creature-class; doors/statics recorder-only until R5).
51 new conformance cases incl. the end-to-end chain test:
MotionTableManager.AnimationDone → sink → interp pending head pops in
step. 183-case observer-trace + funnel suites green unchanged (queue
side effects additive). Full suite: 3,582 passed.
Implemented by a dedicated agent (MotionInterpreter side) against the
W0-pinned spec; producer placements + MotionAllowsJump branch algebra
independently reviewed against the raw decomp; GameWindow wiring by the
orchestrator.

InterpretedMotionState + the unified RawMotionState (LegacyRawMotionState
folded away) gain retail's action FIFO + ApplyMotion/RemoveMotion, ported
verbatim from the raw named decomp (0x0051e790/0x0051eb60 region, pc
293252-293703) including two genuine retail quirks pinned by tests and
independently re-verified against the raw text before commit:
- RawMotionState::ApplyMotion's RunForward (0x44000007) dead branch — a
cycle-class apply of literal RunForward writes NOTHING (retail encodes
run as WalkForward + HoldKey_Run on the raw state; same family as the
D6 apply_run_to_command early-return).
- InterpretedMotionState::RemoveMotion's exact-match-only TurnRight/
SideStepRight handling (left variants fall through to the style/
forward branches).
MovementParameters verbatim (A4 pin): 18 named flags per the absolute
mask table, ctor = 0x1EE0F expansion + distance_to_object 0.6 /
fail_distance FLT_MAX / speed 1 / walk_run_threshhold 15 / hold_key
Invalid — with the two ACE-divergence traps ported RETAIL-side
(can_charge FALSE where ACE defaults true; threshold 15.0 not 1.0).
MotionNode {ContextId, Motion, JumpErrorCode} (acclient.h:53293) — the
pending_motions node W2 consumes.
WeenieError renumbered to retail's numeric semantics (A10 table):
NotGrounded=0x24, GeneralMovementFailure 0x24→0x47, new 0x3f/0x40/0x41
combat-stance rejects + 0x42 chat-emote + 0x45 action-depth; the
airborne jump/action returns corrected 0x48→0x24 per the A10 sweep
(incl. jump_is_allowed's null-physics-obj 0x24-not-8 divergence from
ACE). Codes are local-only — wire untouched.
Outbound packer proof: RawMotionStatePacker unmodified; all 6
golden-byte RawMotionStatePackTests pass unmodified. TS-24 register row
updated (capability landed; outbound wiring still open).
Implemented by a dedicated agent against the W0-pinned spec; quirks,
scope, and suite independently verified. Full suite green: 3,531
(374+425+713+2015+4 pre-existing skips).

The funnel's retail-ordered dispatches now go directly into the entity's
motion-table stack via Motion/MotionTableDispatchSink (Core):
ApplyMotion → PerformMovement(InterpretedCommand), StopMotion →
PerformMovement(StopInterpretedCommand). No axis collection, no
single-cycle priority pick, no Commit pass, no HasCycle probe, no
Run→Walk→Ready fallback chain — GetObjectSequence 0x00522860 +
is_allowed decide (closes H4, H5-callers, H11-callers, H15, H17-carry).
Run-while-turning now blends for real: the turn is a Branch-4 modifier
combined over the untouched run substate (AP-73 DELETED from the
register).
AnimationSequencer gains the public PerformMovement passthrough (lazy
initialize_state + locomotion velocity synthesis on success — AP-75;
remote body translation via PositionManager.ComputeOffset depends on
CurrentVelocity) and InitializeState(); HasCycle DELETED (the miss
hazard is structurally gone — GetObjectSequence checks the cycle before
any surgery; new conformance test pins sequence+state untouched on a
miss).
GameWindow: sink swap with the TurnApplied/TurnStopped ObservedOmega
callbacks (H17 carried verbatim — register AP-76, retire R6); spawn +
door sites run retail's enter-world order (initialize_state installs
the table default, the wire's initial motion dispatches unguarded — the
L.1c fallback chains deleted); despawn drains the pending queue via
HandleExitWorld (MotionDone success:false per entry, 0x0051bda0).
5 new MotionTableDispatchSink conformance tests (lazy init, Branch-4
turn blend + callback, Case-B stop unwind, Case-A stop re-drive,
miss no-op). Full suite green: 3,462 passed.
Live smoke vs ACE: in-world, NPC emote/Ready UMs dispatching through
the new path, [MOTIONDONE] completions firing across entities — first
live proof of the Q3→Q4→Q5 chain. Zero exceptions.
Registers: AP-73 deleted; AP-76 added.

AnimationSequencer becomes a thin shim over the verbatim R2 stack:
SetCycle dispatches the style change (Branch 1) then the motion (Branch
2/3/4) through MotionTableManager.PerformMovement; PlayAction is the
same dispatch (actions rebuild via Branch 3; modifiers are Branch 4
physics-only combine_motion — the AP-73 turn-blend mechanism now runs
for real). CurrentStyle/CurrentMotion/CurrentSpeedMod are read-only
mirrors of MotionState (post-adjust_motion, signed mod). Lazy
initialize_state on first drive (retail lazy-create analog) keeps
undriven sequencers do-nothing.
DELETED legacy inventions (net -648 lines): the adapter fast-path
(replaced by Branch-2 fast re-speed: change_cycle_speed +
subtract/combine_motion), Fix B + IsLocomotionCycleLowByte (replaced by
remove_redundant_links on the pending queue — the retail mechanism the
2026-05-03 cdb trace pointed at), the stop-anim low-byte fallback
(replaced by get_link's reversed-key double-hop — retail's actual
backward-walk settle plays the windup link REVERSED), GetLink/BuildNode/
EnqueueMotionData + the G17 HasVelocity/HasOmega gate (add_motion sets
unconditionally), MultiplyCyclicFramerate + the G13 composite,
PlayAction's insert-before-tail machinery, SCFAST/SCFULL diagnostics.
KEPT at the adapter (register rows): the boundary adjust_motion remap +
locomotion velocity/omega synthesis (AP-75, retire R3-W6/R6), K-fix18
skip-link as post-dispatch RemoveAllLinkAnimations (AP-74, retire
R3-W4 when LeaveGround fires it).
GameWindow queue-drain wiring (the §4 G6 seam): each drained AnimDone
hook → manager.AnimationDone(true) (retail AnimDoneHook::Execute
0x00526c20 → Hook_AnimDone 0x0050fda0 chain), UseTime once per tick
(0x00517d57/0x00517d67); IMotionDoneSink bound to an
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION recorder (AD-36 — R3 rebinds to
MotionInterpreter.MotionDone).
Conformance: the 11-scenario pre-cutover trace suite (a6235a36) replays
green with six EXPECTED-DIFF annotations (double-hop walk-run routing,
reversed settle links, Branch-4 physics-only modifiers, Branch-1
style-change links, post-adjust mirrors) — everything unannotated is
byte-identical. Legacy suites repaired by a dedicated agent (fixtures
gain the retail-mandatory StyleDefaults + class-bit-tagged ids;
reflection state-poking replaced with real dispatch; zero category-D
regressions — the suspected cursor bug was a fixture class-bit gap),
plus two vacuously-passing tests fixed. Register: stale IA-4 deleted
(R1-P1 ported the negative-factor swap).
Full suite green: 3,458 passed (374+425+713+1946).
Closes H6, H7, H8, H9, H10-adapter, H16-wiring (r2-port-plan.md §3 Q4).

Workflow-produced pin pass over the R3 decomp extraction (3 independent
raw re-readers + adversarial refuters on the two load-bearing pins +
synthesis). No pin was refuted; none blocks on cdb.
Headlines:
- A1: motion_allows_jump 0x005279e0 is a BLOCKLIST (0 = pass, 0x48 =
blocked) — the BN extraction's whitelist annotation was inverted
(corrected in-place in §3a + §10). Retail blocks FALLEN 0x40000008
and PASSES Falling 0x40000015; ACE mis-transcribed the exact-id term
as Falling (one-off slip — ACE's own charge gates use Fallen).
Definitive literal-uint blocklist table recorded.
- A3: the raw-vs-interpreted dual-dispatch gate is IsThePlayer (vtable
slot +0x14, bound via the ACCWeenieObject vftable dump @0x007e3ea0),
NOT ACE's IsCreature — in all four functions. Anti-artifact proof:
HitGround/LeaveGround nearby call the +0x2c IsCreature slot, so BN
distinguishes the slots locally. Copying ACE's gate would send
remotes down apply_raw_movement against an empty raw state.
- A4: MovementParameters absolute-mask table pinned from acclient.h's
own bitfield struct; retail ctor default 0x1EE0F has can_charge
CLEAR (ACE sets it true) and walk_run_threshold 15.0 (ACE 1.0).
- A5/A6: both jump-velocity epsilons are 0.000199999995f (acdream's
0.001 must change); get_leave_ground_velocity's fallback matrix is
GLOBAL→LOCAL (index-pattern match against Frame::globaltolocalvec).
- A10: definitive error-code table from an exhaustive return-site
sweep, incl. a second 0x24 site (DoInterpretedMotion action-class
contact block) absent from the plan row.
- Adjacent: move_to_interpreted_state's apply_current_movement arg2 is
a garbled allowJump = (motion_allows_jump(old fwd) == 0) — polarity
trap for W-commits.

0xb0000000 = STYLE|MODIFIER|ACTION, style-tail 0x70000000 =
CYCLE|MODIFIER|ACTION; the decomp's prose gloss of those masks was

IMotionDoneSink is the R2 seam standing in for CPhysicsObj::MotionDone —
R3 binds MotionInterpreter.MotionDone (r2-port-plan.md §4 contract).
This queue + remove_redundant_links IS the retail mechanism our old

SetCycle/PlayAction through PerformMovement.
47 conformance tests: countdown-chain tables, truncate blocked/allowed

walk-run-walk-run collapse trace, the 2026-05-03 walk-to-run golden
(both nodes queued, truncate not firing), PerformMovement error matrix.
Register: AD-34 extended (pending_animations managed LinkedList);
AD-35 added (NotHandled sentinel vs retail's dead-code pointer-leak
default case).
Implemented by a dedicated agent against the committed Q3 spec; diff
scope, mask semantics, truncation range, counter reset, and
PerformMovement paths independently verified against the decomp raw
text before commit. Build + full suite green (3,447 passed).

- Advance(dt, Frame? rootMotionFrame) overload: retail's actual root-
motion contract (CSequence::update(quantum, Frame*) 0x00525b80) —
every crossed frame's pos_frame combines into the caller's Frame plus
the sequence velocity/omega via apply_physics. This is the seam R6's
retail per-tick order (CPartArray.Update -> adjust_offset ->
Frame.combine) consumes.
- DELETED: ConsumeRootMotionDelta + the dead adapter accumulator fields
(zero external callers; gap-map API-migration table).

CSequence (Core/Physics/Motion): anim-node list with retail's exact

- append_animation (0x00525510): first_cyclic slides to the JUST-
APPENDED node on EVERY call (the cyclic tail is always the last
appended node); curr_anim seeds to head + get_starting_frame only
when null; unresolvable anims discarded (G10);
- remove_cyclic_anims (0x00524e40): removed curr_anim snaps BACK to
prev at get_ending_frame (or 0.0); first_cyclic = new tail;
- remove_link_animations/remove_all_link_animations (0x00524be0/
0x00524ca0): removed curr_anim snaps FORWARD to first_cyclic at
get_starting_frame (G11);
- apricot (0x00524b40, PDB-verified retail name): consumed-head trim
bounded by curr_anim AND first_cyclic;
- clear (0x005255b0) resets placement fields too — raw body is
authority over the gap map's G20 note;
- sequence-level velocity/omega with set/combine/subtract (G12);
- multiply_cyclic_animation_fr touches framerates ONLY (G13 —
velocity rescale belongs to R2's change_cycle_speed composite);
- placement frame family + floored accessors (G14).

OnLiveMotionUpdated's remote branch (368 lines of bulk-copy + cycle
picker + per-axis DoInterpretedMotion + command-list router) collapses
to: build InboundInterpretedState from the wire (retail UnPack defaults;
MoveTo packets feed the PlanMoveToStart seed as the forward command) ->
MotionInterpreter.MoveToInterpretedState(ims, RemoteMotionSink) ->
sink.Commit().
RemoteMotionSink (new, App): receives the funnel's gate-passed
dispatches in retail order; the axis-priority pick (fwd > side > turn),
Run->Walk->Ready missing-cycle fallback, overlay routing, ObservedOmega
seeding, and diag lines are MOVED VERBATIM from the pre-S2 block.
Register row AP-73 documents the single-cycle composition approximation
(retail blends modifiers via re_modify — DEV-9, retires with S3/S6).
Retail-verbatim behavior changes:
- Absent stance now defaults to NonCombat 0x8000003D (retail UnPack
default, S0-trace-verified) instead of keep-current.
- Remote command lists flow through the funnel's 15-bit action-stamp
gate — retail's actual mechanism for ACE's re-bundled stale entries;
the old skip-SubState router workaround is now local-player-only.
- Airborne cycle preservation is the funnel's contact_allows_move gate
(K-fix17's guard semantics, now from the retail mechanism).
- Stops ride the same path: empty UM -> flat copy -> Ready dispatch ->
get_state_velocity 0 (DEV-3 core; the 300ms stop-detection fallback
stays until S6 verifies NPC unification).
Full suite green (3290). Live smoke next.

Pseudocode for the S2 port (unpack_movement case 0 / move_to_interpreted_state
/ apply_current_movement / apply_interpreted_movement / DoInterpretedMotion),
anchored on decomp lines + validated against a LIVE cdb trace of a retail
observer (per-UM DIM order confirmed: style -> forward -> sidestep-stop ->
turn-stop; empty UM = wholesale Ready stop).
Also settles the packer question: RawMotionState::Pack (0x0051ed10) is pure
static-default-difference — outbound L.2b port already verbatim; the
empty-vs-explicit walk variance between captures is driver-client state,
handled identically by the wholesale apply.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
S0 wire probe (live capture, retail actor via ACE) refuted the premise
the #39 machinery was built on: walk<->run Shift toggles arrive as
EXPLICIT UMs (0x0005 <-> 0x0007@runRate) because retail's default-
difference packing baselines forward_command against Ready — W-held is
always packed, and ACE re-emits it unconditionally with the holdKey
upgrade (MovementData.cs:104-119). The frequent flags=0 autonomous UMs
are genuine keys-released / heading-only states; retail applies them as
full stops (InterpretedMotionState ctor 0x0051e8d0 defaults Ready +
move_to_interpreted_state 0x005289c0 flat copy).
Retail has NO pace->animation adaptation anywhere in its inbound
pipeline (two decomp dives + ACE cross-check, deviation map DEV-2), and
the refinement layer's 0.2s-grace re-promotion after legitimate Ready
UMs was itself the observed Ready<->Run thrash / rubber-band component.
Deleted: ApplyPlayerLocomotionRefinement, UmGraceSeconds,
PlayerRunPromoteSpeed/PlayerRunDemoteSpeed, RemoteMotion.LastUMTime,
the synth-player refinement call in OnLivePositionUpdated. Player-remote
cycles are now UM-driven only, exactly like retail. NPC PlanFromVelocity
path untouched (S6 unifies).
S0 findings + S1 live validation (0 false UM_STALE drops across 280 UMs)
recorded in docs/research/2026-07-02-inbound-motion-deviation-map.md.
fix#39: closed — root-cause narrative corrected, machinery removed.

Port retail's three-stamp inbound gate for 0xF74C UpdateMotion:
- MotionSequenceGate (Core/Physics): CPhysicsObj::is_newer (0x00451ad0)
wraparound u16 compare, verbatim per ACE PhysicsObj.is_newer (the BN
pseudo-C setcc returns are garbled; ACE + branch structure are the
oracle). Gates: INSTANCE_TS at dispatch (stale incarnation drops
before any stamp is touched), MOVEMENT_TS strictly-newer (stamped
BEFORE the server-control check, per CPhysics::SetObjectMovement
0x00509690), SERVER_CONTROLLED_MOVE_TS drop-when-stored-newer.
- Seed from CreateObject's PhysicsDesc timestamp block (index 1 =
ObjectMovement now parsed; ACE WorldObject_Networking.cs:411-420
order) — without seeding, entities whose movement sequence is past
0x8000 at spawn would drop every UM against a zero stamp.
Adopt-on-first / advance-only-after, so the #138 rehydrate replay of
retained spawns cannot regress live stamps.
- UpdateMotion + EntitySpawn now carry instance/movement/serverControl
sequences + isAutonomous (was parsed-past; isAutonomous feeds the
S2 funnel's last_move_was_autonomous). Gate wired at the top of
OnLiveMotionUpdated before any state mutation; [UM_STALE] diag under
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION / ACDREAM_REMOTE_VEL_DIAG; gate dropped with the
entity on DeleteObject.
Register: AD-32 added (adopt-newer-incarnation instead of retail's
QueueBlobForObject); TS-26 updated (UM side closed, UP side open).
Deviation map: docs/research/2026-07-02-inbound-motion-deviation-map.md.
19 new gate tests + parser coverage; full suite 3276 green.

/investigate deliverable for the inbound (remote-entity) animation+position
retail-parity effort. 10 deviations (DEV-1..10) mapped and adversarially
verified against the named retail decomp + ACE port + current code (9
confirmed, 1 refuted-and-corrected).
Headline: the #39-era UP-pace->cycle inference layer's premise ('wire goes
silent on Shift toggle') is refuted at both oracles — retail sends a fresh
MoveToState on HoldRun toggle while moving (0x006b37a8) and ACE rebroadcasts
every MoveToState unconditionally (GameActionMoveToState.cs:36); retail has
NO pace->animation adaptation anywhere (position error is absorbed solely by
the InterpolationManager chase, already ported verbatim in L.3).
Registers sub-lane L.2g in the roadmap: port the CMotionInterp inbound funnel
verbatim for all remote entity classes, slices S0-S6.

Fresh-session handoff for the INBOUND (remote-entity) motion arc. Captures the
symptom (walk<->run transition without stopping = interpreter reacts too slowly
-> animation+position desync compounding through turns; plus sliding + stop
position errors), the root-cause hypothesis (acdream lacks retail's CMotionInterp/
CSequence motion-transition state machine: pending_motions/MotionDone), the
pre-paid research (2026-06-04 sequencer deep-dive, 2026-06-26 audit D7-D12), the
decomp anchors, the inbound code map, the /investigate-then-port plan, the
live-capture setup, and the discipline reminders (report-only, surgical
sequencer integration, decomp-verbatim). Prior outbound/local arc shipped clean
through d34721fa.

The outbound MoveToState now sends the RAW forward_speed 1.0 (omitted by
default-difference packing) instead of the pre-computed runRate, matching what
retail's client sends.
Settled the open question with a live echo-test: acdream sends forward_speed=1.0,
ACE broadcasts back RunForward @ runRate (not 1.0), and a retail observer saw
+Acdream run at full pace. So ACE RECOMPUTES the broadcast run speed from the
character's run skill and auto-upgrades WalkForward+HoldKey.Run -> RunForward for
observers. The earlier PlayerMovementController comment citing ACE
MovementData.cs ("ACE relays the speed, so the wire must send run_rate") was
wrong; corrected.
Changes:
- PlayerMovementController section 6: forward wire command is WalkForward @ 1.0
(+ HoldKey.Run when running); LocalAnimationCommand still carries RunForward for
the local cycle. Backward already 1.0. The MotionStateChanged detection now
keys the walk<->run toggle off HoldKey + LocalAnimationCommand (forward_speed is
constant 1.0); the forward_speed comparison is retained but never fires.
- GameWindow: reverted the D6.2b echo-test one-liner; the wire RawMotionState
takes forward_speed from result (now 1.0).
The wire and the D6.2a local velocity are now both raw-1.0. Threading them onto
one shared RawMotionState (removing section-6's duplicate build) is a
behavior-neutral cleanup follow-up.
Full suite green (3255). Docs: roadmap + pseudocode doc updated with the
echo-test finding.

Strafe-left moves + symmetric, backward outpaces strafe (retail-faithful at
high run skill), jump travels lateral, turn feel unchanged, no crash/rejection.
Closes the visual-verification acceptance for the D6.2a velocity/turn/jump
unification.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ports retail's raw->interpreted motion normalization and routes the local
player's velocity through it, so backward/strafe come from the retail source
instead of hand-mirrored controller code (retires register TS-22 + UN-5).
MotionInterpreter (decomp-verbatim, Ghidra/ACE-cross-checked):
- adjust_motion (0x00528010): WalkBackward->WalkForward (x-0.649999976),
TurnLeft->TurnRight (x-1), SideStepLeft->SideStepRight (x-1), sidestep scale
0.5*(WalkAnimSpeed/SidestepAnimSpeed), RunForward early-return, per-channel
holdkey fallback to CurrentHoldKey.
- apply_run_to_command (0x00527be0): WalkForward->RunForward when speed>0 +
UNCONDITIONAL *runRate; TurnRight *1.5; SideStepRight *runRate clamp +/-3.0.
- apply_raw_movement (0x005287e0): copy raw->interpreted, adjust the 3 channels
with per-channel hold keys.
- WalkAnimSpeed unified to the retail-exact 3.11999989f (was 3.12f).
PlayerMovementController: build ONE RawMotionState from MovementInput at
forward_speed=1.0 (apply_run_to_command applies the run rate — a pre-scaled
speed would double-scale), run apply_raw_movement, then take grounded + jump
velocity straight from get_state_velocity (now correct for all directions) and
drive the keyboard turn omega from the interpreted turn_speed (BaseTurnRate x
turn_speed = the same pi/2 formula the remote path uses; numerically identical
to the old TurnRateFor). Deleted the hand-mirrored backward(x-0.65) /
strafe(x+-1.25) formulas in both the grounded and jump blocks. Mouse turn and
the auto-walk path are untouched.
Retail-faithful behavior changes (confirm in smoke): strafe is now
1.25 * ~1.248 * runRate = ~1.56*runRate, clamped via SideStepSpeed<=3.0 so
|v.X|<=3.75 (was 1.25*runRate, no scale/clamp); backward is unchanged
(3.12*0.65*runRate); backward/strafe-left velocity now comes from the pipeline
instead of returning zero. Forward run pace unchanged (4.0*runRate).
Tests: MotionNormalizationTests (17, adjust_motion/apply_run_to_command) +
MotionVelocityPipelineTests (10, apply_raw_movement->get_state_velocity golden
velocities incl. the strafe clamp + turn speeds). Full suite green (3255).
Register: TS-22 + UN-5 deleted (retired); TS-34 added (adjust_motion creature
guard is a no-op — IWeenieObject has no IsCreature; correct for the only caller,
the player). Pseudocode: docs/research/2026-07-01-d6-motion-interp-pseudocode.md.
NEXT D6.2b: the echo-gated wire forward_speed=1.0 question (evidence suggests
ACE relays rather than recomputes; verified via the smoke echo).

Understand-phase output for D6: verbatim decomp + faithful pseudocode for
adjust_motion (0x00528010), apply_run_to_command (0x00527be0),
get_state_velocity (0x00527d50), apply_raw_movement (0x005287e0), all
cross-checked against the retail decomp (ACE not checked out in this worktree;
its constants match the decomp). Includes the acdream integration map (the
hand-mirrored backward/strafe bypass D6 replaces), the retail-faithful behavior
changes (strafe ~20% faster + 3.0 clamp), and the locked design decisions:
full RawMotionState unification (wire+velocity+turn), forward_speed=1.0 on run
verified via smoke echo, turn ported to interpreted omega (feel unchanged,
AP-9 base rate stays).

Ports the three retail outbound-movement packers verbatim (decomp-derived
golden bytes, confirmed via the Ghidra bridge, cross-checked vs holtburger):
- D1 — RawMotionState::Pack (0x0051ed10): new AcDream.Core.Physics.RawMotionState
data type (11 fields + actions, retail defaults) + RawMotionStatePacker that
sets a flag bit only when the field DIFFERS from its default. MoveToState.Build
now takes a RawMotionState instead of presence-based nullable params, so the
over-sent forwardSpeed=1.0 / currentHoldKey=None / default per-axis holdkeys are
no longer emitted. num_actions packs into bits 11-15 (not "bits 11-31").
- D3 — MoveToStatePack::Pack (0x005168f0) trailing byte =
(standingLongjump ? 0x02 : 0) | (contact ? 0x01 : 0); explicit contact/
standingLongjump params (standingLongjump=false honestly until the feature lands).
- D4 — JumpAction rewritten to retail JumpPack::Pack (0x00516d10): extent,
velocity, full Position, four u16 timestamps, align. Removed the spurious
objectGuid/spellId u32s; Position is now packed (it was absent). Body 56 bytes.
- Position::Pack (0x005a9640) / Frame::Pack (0x00535130) verified already-correct
(cellId, origin xyz, quaternion wxyz); locked with a golden test, no change.
GameWindow callers adapted minimally: build the RawMotionState from the existing
MovementResult values (behavior preserved except the intended D1 omissions) and
pass cellId/position/rotation to the Jump send. Pre-existing MotionInterpreter
placeholder struct RawMotionState renamed LegacyRawMotionState (D6/Phase-2 scope,
pure rename) to free the name for the retail-faithful type.
D5 audit: confirmed a real divergence — retail SendMovementEvent (0x006b4680)
stamps only last_sent_position_time after an MTS while SendPositionEvent
(0x006b4770) stamps all three; acdream's NotePositionSent stamps all three on
both paths. Left unchanged (comments added at both call sites), recorded as
register TS-33, deferred to a dedicated cadence-port slice.
Tests: RawMotionStatePackTests / MoveToStateGoldenTests / JumpActionTests /
PositionPackTests + updated MoveToStateTests / AutonomousPositionTests. Full
suite green (Core.Net.Tests 372, full solution 3228 passed / 4 pre-existing skips).
Register: TS-24/TS-25 refreshed (packer now supports actions/style; runtime
emission still deferred), TS-33 added. Roadmap L.2b shipped note added.

Splits MotionCommandResolver's single ACE-modern lookup into an
IMotionCommandCatalog seam with two implementations:
- AceModernCommandCatalog (runtime default): built cleanly from the
DatReaderWriter MotionCommand enum (mirrors ACE + local DAT MotionTables)
with a documented class-priority tiebreak. The old blind 0x016E-0x0197
per-range override is DELETED — verified the ACE matrix (LifestoneRecall
0x0153 to 0x10000153, MarketplaceRecall 0x0166, AllegianceHometownRecall
0x0171, OffhandSlashHigh 0x0173) resolves correctly straight from the enum
with no override. Stale shift-start comment corrected to SnowAngelState
(0x43000115 to 0x43000118), not AllegianceHometownRecall.
- Retail2013CommandCatalog (conformance/reference): full verbatim extraction
of command_ids[0x198] at 0x007c73e8 (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:1017259-1017667),
direct wire-low to full index lookup. 408 entries, anchors verified against
source ([0x150]=0x10000150, [0x153]=0x09000153, [0x197]=0x10000197).
MotionCommandResolver.ReconstructFullCommand stays a static facade delegating
to an AceModern singleton — all ~10 runtime callers unchanged.
Removing the override exposed a pre-existing bug: CombatAnimationPlanner's
late-combat command block uses 2013 numbering, not ACE/DRW. Corrected the one
catalog test assertion pinned to the override's output (wire 0x0170 to
0x09000170 IssueSlashCommand, its true DRW identity) and filed the planner bug
as #159 rather than silently patching out-of-scope code.
Tests: +catalog matrices (ACE/2013), class-priority collisions, boundary
cases, real-DAT availability (gap-doc hit counts reproduced). Build + full
suite green (Core.Tests 1718, no regressions).

UI Studio (preview panels through the production renderer), importer dat-fidelity (Fix A/B/C/4/5:
the importer carries dat font/justification/color; boundary look=importer / state=runtime), and the

Roadmap: extend D.5-remaining ledger with three new shipped entries (UI Studio,
importer Fix A/B/C, Character window 0x2100002E). Milestone M5: update D.2b
status paragraph to name all shipped sub-phases including the studio, importer
boundary discovery (look=importer / state=runtime), and Character window with
deferred polish pointer (#151).
ISSUES: add #151 (Character window deferred polish — LOW, filed 2026-06-26;
user accepted Attributes tab as good-enough, polish items to be enumerated later).
Issues #149 (studio inventory all-black) and #150 (GameWindow font resolver) were
already present.
Divergence register: add AP-69 (per-element dat-font resolver is studio-only;
GameWindow passes null to the four Import sites until #150 lands). No row for
Fix-4 UIState-group activation (runtime-faithful, not a deviation) or for the
tab-sprite injection / footer-state hiding (same).

Gap 1 — Header captions:
- 0x1000023A ("Character Level") above the level value: bound via LabelLeft().
- 0x10000234 ("Total Experience (XP):") left of total XP: bound via LabelLeft().
- 0x10000237/0x10000238 (XP-to-level label + value) are children of the UiMeter
(0x10000236, ConsumesDatChildren=true) and cannot be bound — documented in
code comments; XP meter fill still bound via Fill=XpFraction.
Gap 2 — Tab bar sprites:
- Tab group elements 0x10000228/229/538 are Type-12 UIElement_Text in the dat
(ConsumesDatChildren=true), so the three button children (left-cap, center,
right-cap) are consumed at import and absent from the widget tree. Old
SetTabState/SetButtonStateRecursive found no UiButton children to set.
- Fix: AddTabSprites() injects three UiText sprite-children per group using
the known RenderSurface ids confirmed from the retail UI layout dump:

Source: dump nodes 0x10000439/0x100000E9/0x10000215 in layout 0x2100002E,
state_id 11=Closed, 12=Open per gmTabUI::SetActive(bool).
Gap 3 — Footer legibility:
- The shared footer child ids (0x1000024E etc.) appear in THREE footer-state
groups (A/B/C). ImportedLayout._byId stores the LAST duplicate = narrower
State B/C copies (145px labels). Fix: hide State B/C groups (footerB/footerC
Visible=false), walk State A container (0x10000240) positionally to bind the
wider State A labels (195px). FooterLine1Label now reads "Skill Credits
Available:" and FooterLine2Label reads "Unassigned Experience:" at full width.
Tests: 3 old tab-state tests (SetButtonStateRecursive expectation) replaced by
4 new sprite-injection tests + 2 caption-binding tests. Full suite: 676 pass,
0 fail (was 673 pass after 3 failures).

Verified root cause (oracle-first) of the user's "stretched + less-detailed"
outdoor terrain: acdream tiles the base ground texture once per 24m landcell
(terrain_modern.frag TILE=1.0) and never applies retail's landscape DETAIL
texture overlay (dat TerrainTex.DetailTextureId / DetailTexTiling).
Decomp-cited mechanism (landPolyDraw detail UV = curr_detail_tiling*baseUV
pc:702299; 10->50 depth fade pc:702263; TEXOP_MODULATE pc:425099; single
landscape scalar via TexMerge::GetDetailTiling pc:263852). Filtering + 512^2
resolution ruled out.
Fix attempt (parallel detail texture array + MODULATE2X + distance fade) built
and ran but rendered the ground black (detail array sampled ~0); reverted.
Handles verified NOT swapped -- the bug is detail-texture DATA (gray fill /
DetailTextureId decode). Filed with full debugging steps for a fresh pass.
Also recorded the DO-NOT-RETRY: the first investigation agent FABRICATED a base
`TexTiling` dat field that does not exist (only DetailTexTiling).

Element map for LayoutDesc 0x2100002E (the tabbed Attributes/Skills/Titles window) +
the importer-mount reality + the StringTable verdict + the follow-up list. Grounds the
CharacterStatController work in 0e644b5 and the remaining refinements.

Rendered all 26 dump windows through the studio's --screenshot mode + a
System.Drawing contact-sheet montage. The generic dump LayoutSource renders
every panel with no crash; fidelity tracks static-chrome (in the dump) vs
runtime content (slots/stats/appraise, not in the dump). Static-rich panels
(vitals/toolbar/character/map/radar/effects/chat…) render great; runtime-only
windows (examine) are correctly blank; inventory shows backdrop+frame but its
nested sub-window chrome is sparse (next investigation). screenshots gitignored.

Adds Task 4b: a second load path for the UI Studio that reads the committed
retail UI layout dump (docs/research/2026-06-25-retail-ui-layout-dump.json)
and renders any of the 26 retail windows as a static sprite hierarchy.
New files:
- src/AcDream.App/Studio/UiDumpModel.cs — POCOs + System.Text.Json parse of
the dump (UiDump, DumpPanel, DumpNode, DumpRect, DumpStateSet, DumpImage,
DumpState + UiDumpModel static helpers: Parse, ListSlugs, PickImageId).
- src/AcDream.App/Studio/DumpLayout.cs — DumpLayout.Load(path, slug, resolve,
out err): parses the dump, finds the panel by slug, builds a UiElement tree.
Internal DumpSpriteElement draws its sprite via DrawSprite (not reusing
UiDatElement — avoids the ElementInfo/StateMedia dat-import dependency for
this static mockup). DumpGroupElement is a transparent container for Group
nodes. Rect basis is ABSOLUTE in the dump (verified: inventory root at
absolute x=500 and its children also start at x≈500 — child offset from
parent is 0–50px, not 500px); DumpLayout subtracts parent rect to produce
parent-relative Left/Top for each child.
- tests/AcDream.App.Tests/Studio/DumpLayoutTests.cs — 5 tests covering:
inventory load with 0x100001D5 check + >= 40 nodes, unknown slug → null+err,
root at origin, children are parent-relative, all 26 slugs smoke-load.
Modified files:
- StudioOptions: adds DumpSlug + DumpFile fields; --dump <slug> and
--dump-file <path> args; ResolveDumpFile() walks up to the solution root
to find the default dump JSON (mirrors ConformanceDats.SolutionRoot()).
--dump suppresses the default vitals layout so the two modes are exclusive.
- StudioWindow.OnLoad: when DumpSlug is set, loads via DumpLayout (no
FixtureProvider, no controllers — static structure only); else falls
through to the existing LayoutSource + FixtureProvider path.
Results: DumpLayoutTests 5/5 passed; full AcDream.App.Tests 609 passed, 2
skipped (same as before); dotnet build green, 0 warnings.

A standalone dev tool that renders any acdream UI panel through the
PRODUCTION renderer (UiHost/LayoutImporter/dat-sprite path + the WB mesh
pipeline for the 3-D doll), with an ImGui click-to-inspect inspector,
sample-data fixtures, markup hot-reload + write-back, and render-config
sliders. Collapses the edit→build→login→F12→eyeball loop into edit→glance.
Full v1 scope (user pre-approved): both sources (dat LayoutDesc id +
markup file), full fixtures, editable inspector + doll-camera sliders,
live doll. Seven isolated units; the highest-risk step (extracting a
shared RenderBootstrap from GameWindow.OnLoad) is sequenced first behind
a "game still renders" gate, with a studio-local-duplicate fallback. The
drag-drop designer is deferred to phase 2.
