3,870 player resolves captured at Rithwic with ACDREAM_CAPTURE_RESOLVE.
Of 2,955 contact-seeded ticks the RETAINED trigger fired zero times —
the current push-out is inert in ordinary play — while retail's bare
trigger would have fired on 2,471 (84%), lifts 2-88 mm, p50 27 mm. The
body rests at r*N.z every grounded tick, so landing AD-66 alone would
engage the push on virtually every slope step and fight the foot
planting: the oscillation the original substitution was written against.
The exposed question sits upstream: our placement plants the sphere
vertically (perpendicular r*N.z); if retail's walkable contact rests
tangent (perpendicular r), retail's bare trigger is inert in retail
exactly as ours is here, and the trigger cannot be ported without the
placement geometry. That retail-side verification is now the apparatus
session's first task, and it also gives the harness flip a mechanical
suspect: settle-state order dependence, not physics.
Measured from the user's own two-minute run rather than argued — the
cheapest decisive instrument of the campaign so far.
