The retail frame walk now drives every production static draw. In
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawInside, when the concrete executor + the
packed product + the FW3.1 walk registries are all wired (all
production compositions - anything less throws):
- A pre-walk events-only collection pass (the shadow sink generalized
to WalkVisitedSetCollector) gathers the frame's visited cells,
buildings, and landscape-cell turns; the visited cells union into
prepareCells so EnvCellRenderer prepares every shell the driver
draws.
- DrawWalkDrivenStatics runs the WalkFrameDriver over the production
world data (WalkProductionWorldData over RenderSceneQuery + the
building registry): sky, terrain slices, outdoor statics at their
landscape-cell turns, buildings (alpha barrier -> punch/look-in
passes -> shell) in retail order, interior clear+seals as leaf
closures (the old tail block's drain reasoning moves with them),
flood cells shell-then-contents. Landscape/cell-stage particle
owners re-source from the walk's visited sets - retail gates
particles per cell turn (ShouldDrawParticles @0x0050FE60), which
this is; the old sphere filter was the approximation.
- DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase + DrawBuildingLookInDynamics carry the
dynamics-only remainder (LookInObject now dynamic-classified,
late outside-dynamics + weather, particle unions); DrawDynamicsLast
and the outdoor flush are unchanged.
- The product builder stops emitting LandscapeOutdoorStatic /
LandscapeBuildingShell / CellStatic (methods deleted, dead index
tracking removed); LookInObject loads cells with
includeStatics: false.
The old static path survives ONLY behind !walkActive for the
standalone/diagnostic executor-fake path that keeps 15 retail-ordering
regression tests exercising the barrier/punch/seal machinery; no
production composition can reach it. Its deletion is FW4 scope (the
plan's "deleting the patch apparatus") - recorded in the plan.
Transitional risks recorded in code/report: the two-pass walk cost
(FW3.4 measures), the interior slice-count reconciliation between the
old clip assembly and the walk's own exit-view survival, and the
outdoor merged-flood punch coverage now riding the walk's own
building-BSP punches (retail-faithful per FW1; the owner visual gate
verifies).
Suites (lead-verified): full Release build 0 warnings; hermetic
6,750/0 (baseline minus the three deleted route tests); Walk lane
201/1; InstalledDat Walk conformance 40/1 untouched. The two
IL-branch tests the implementation round reported failing pass in
every lead run - the recurring parallel-load flake pair.

FW2 gate adjudication recorded (RecordingGpuDevice referees are the
automated gate; the pixel A/B rides FW3's cutover toggle). FW3 sliced
from the verified surface survey: FW3.1 production walk world data
(the Building record drops every walk field today - the biggest gap),
FW3.2 walk-driven static routes (stop EMITTING the three static routes;
ClipFrameAssembler/ViewconeCuller survive for the dynamic routes;
walk-path selection publication - picking is an unlisted consumer of
the static draw path), FW3.3 ShellDrawLiftZ retirement (THREE sites -
AP-32 lists only two), FW3.4 perf checkpoint with the baseline
correction (519.7 fps is the Aerlinthe ordinary profile, not dense
Arwic - capture a fresh pre-cutover dense-Arwic pair first).

The walk-order submission layer over the existing RHI (plan section FW2):
- OrderedDrawStream: append-only walk-ordered draw commands
(GroupKey + transform + per-instance data + WalkDrawStage + cell
provenance), struct-of-arrays with one lockstep Reset (#193 shape).
The PortalPunch stage exists but has no FW2 submission path - the
submitter throws on it; punch emission lands with FW3 wiring.
- WbDrawDispatcher.OrderedStream partial: per-instance-first emission
(the deferred-alpha shape - command i owns instance i, walk order
survives into the indirect array), each SSBO section written once,
then one DrawIndirectRangeRhi call per maximal merge run. Runs are
built by pure-CPU BuildOrderedMergeRuns and may never span a stage,
pipeline-bucket, or cull boundary; ValidateMergeRun re-checks every
emitted run and throws (the campaign fail-loud rule). Nothing is
sorted, reordered, or dropped: N commands in, N indirect commands
out, covered exactly once.
- WorldDepthContract: retail world depth verified verbatim from the
decomp - Render::zfuncVal @0x00820e1c = 0x2, SetDepthBufferMode
@0x005a2d10 writes the enum directly as D3DRS_ZFUNC so the value IS
D3DCMP_LESS, applied by the surface-state applier @0x0059c80a with
Z-write toggled by blend; the LESSEQUAL sites are GameSky::Draw-local.
Seven world pipeline sites now cite the named constant (no value
changes).
- Plan updated: FW1 status block + gate amendment (the ten pose-stamped
retail traces supersede re-expressing the old-builder replay
fixtures; those retire with the old builder at FW4 and their
scenario classes re-verify at the FW3/FW4 connected gates).
Known FW2 scope notes recorded in the code: the building-detail
overlay replay is production wiring (FW3); the _drawCullModes scratch
may not interleave with a mid-flight RetailAlphaQueue scope (FW3
sequencing constraint). The pixel A/B equivalence proof rides FW3's
cutover toggle where a walk-driven scene first exists.
Suites: full Release build 0 warnings; Walk lane 154/1 skip;
hermetic 6,714/0 (+27 new).

FW0 ledger entry records the fixtures, replay helper, pseudocode model,
and the reshaping findings. The pose gap (first captures lack camera
pose; exact replay needs it) is documented with a ready template for a
short owner session when FW1 gates.

Stages FW0-FW6: walk oracle fixtures -> pure-CPU RetailFrameWalk/PViewSet
-> order-preserving submitter -> static cutover with the perf stop-rule
-> entity/particle/dynamics cutover deleting the patch apparatus ->
retail camera envelope -> closeout. The plan carries the recon-verified
seam map (frame chain, replace-vs-reuse split in the dispatcher, the
complete visibility-consumer list, the streaming atomicity facts, exact
patch-apparatus sites) and the binding rules (fail loud, transition
checklist, no dual path). Campaign renamed W->FW: the roadmap already
owns Phase W (UCG).
