A remote observed in acdream landed on a sloped roof and froze; the server slid
on, the gap passed AP-87's 4 m threshold, and the body snapped — the visible
blip. Live probe capture, two adjacent ticks 63 ms apart:
t=88420671 rsInContact=True rsOnWalkable=False rsIsOnGround=True
bodyCpNz=0.6097 floorZ=0.6642 steep=True gravity=True
vel=(2.146,2.264,-3.549)
t=88420734 contact=True onWalkable=True <- forced against the sweep
gravity=False <- cleared
velBeforeZero=(2.146,2.264,0.000)
moved=0.0000 <- and every tick after
The roof is 52.4 degrees against a 48.4 degree limit, so acdream's classifier
was CORRECT and was then overruled. Four independent links each froze the body
on their own: a per-tick force of Contact|OnWalkable, a per-tick velocity zero,
a Gravity clear at landing, and a landing edge testing IsOnGround
(= inContact || ...) instead of OnWalkable. The tick called
HandleAllCollisions alone — the tail of SetPositionInternal without its prefix.
Retail simulates remotes locally and derives these bits rather than asserting
them: CPhysics::UseTime @0x00509950 iterates the whole object table;
update_object @0x00515D10 gates only on parent/cell/FROZEN with no
is_player fork; SetPositionInternal @0x00515330 sets CONTACT from
contact_plane_valid @0x00515430 and ON_WALKABLE from contact_plane.N.z vs
floor_z @0x00515465-@0x0051548E before handle_all_collisions @0x005154FE;
set_on_walkable @0x00511310 fires HitGround @0x00511364 / LeaveGround
@0x00511346 edge-triggered with no ownership gate; calc_acceleration
@0x00510950 zeroes only when CONTACT && ON_WALKABLE && !Sledding @0x0051096B;
calc_friction @0x0050EE70 returns at its first line when ON_WALKABLE is clear.
acdream had copied retail's airborne no-op WITHOUT retail's local simulation.
The fix is mostly deletion: stop forging the transients, stop discarding the
authoritative velocity, stop clearing Gravity, and route the remote tick
through the same SetPositionInternal commit TickHidden and the local player
already use, with the landing edge derived from the sweep's own OnWalkable.
AP-87's threshold and conditions and InterpolationManager's node_fail_counter
snap-to-tail are deliberately untouched — this removes the CAUSE of the
divergence rather than weakening the backstop.
Cross-checked against ACE: its only creature-side VectorUpdate emitters are the
jump broadcast and spell projectiles, so integrating the wire velocity cannot
double-move a walking remote; and PhysicsGlobals.DefaultState already carries
Gravity, so deleting the manufactured State |= Gravity is safe.
Register: AP-81 narrowed (its GRAVITY half retired outright), AP-87 annotated,
AP-139 filed (the interpolation-queue clear on the landing edge), AP-140 filed
(the two routing gates select snap-vs-interpolate on walkability where retail
uses CONTACT — adjust_offset @0x00555D30 gates on transient_state & 1
@0x00555D52). AP-140's follow-up is deliberately shaped as "point the two gates
at Body.InContact", NOT "re-derive Airborne", which would perturb five writers
and collide with a pinned RemoteTeleportPlacementTests assertion.
Three gaps recorded in #32 rather than papered over: the new LeaveGround
dispatch is untested for chatter; a persistently !Ok transition can latch a
remote airborne; and — the visual-gate watch item — the deleted forge was a
blanket guarantee of Contact|OnWalkable, and contact_allows_move @0x00528dd0
silently refuses action animations without both, which is the literal root
cause of closed#270. Retail-correct on a steep face, a regression anywhere
else.
10 discriminating tests over a real PhysicsEngine landblock whose contact
normal Z is 0.61 against FloorZ 0.6642 — the live roof's exact relationship.

Flips the SetPositionSimple classification (contact, PlayerDistance >= 96 m) for
remotes onto 4b-1's drive controller and deletes both legacy far blocks, both
duplicated 96f/4f constant pairs, and both `?? Vector3.Zero` fabrications. The
4 m constant now exists exactly once. Teleport and cell-less stay legacy for
4b-3.
Retail: MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330's far branch runs StopInterpolating
@0x005163CB before SetPositionSimple @0x005163D9 and returns 1 @0x005163E8
regardless — the SetPositionError is discarded — so HandleReceivedPosition arms
ConstrainTo @0x00454272 post-move on commit AND on failure. The x87 parity
decode at @0x00516393-@0x0051639E puts exactly 96.0 on the far branch.
SetPositionSimple @0x005162B0 builds flags 0x1012 at @0x005162C4.
Non-commit outcomes still advance the body, because retail's SetPositionInternal
@0x00515BD0 commits the destination via store_position @0x00515CE2 when no cell
resolves. The partition is by STAGE, not heuristic, enforced by an exhaustive
switch: Refused/Contention/NotApplicable/RejectedPreparation store (the placement
never executed); Committed/Deferred/RejectedByPlacement do not (the engine ran
and refused, matching retail's non-storing returns @0x00515CB2 and @0x00515CD5).
Without this a refused far snap froze the remote with an emptied queue.
Also fixes a shipped defect this route made live: ParkDeferred's quiescence parks
withdrew the entity (InWorld=false, clock suspended, residency removed) and were
never restorable, while Forget(restoreCancelledPark: true) runs for every
accepted Position on every entity. The restorable decision now lives inside
ParkDeferred AFTER SnapToCell, reading body.CellPosition.ObjCellId — the value
RestoreParkWithdrawal actually restores at — against every live quiescence
rather than one minimum-OperationId token. The three pre-snap fields are hoisted
into locals because SnapToCell ends with InWorld = true. ParkCollisionResidents
passes restorableOnCancel: false explicitly; the plain unplaceable park is
provably unchanged. RestoreParkWithdrawal re-tests the prefix at restore time so
a retained route-2 park cannot re-admit into a prefix that began quiescing
during the park.
CanAttemptDestination is retained as an OPTIMISATION only, with the two Core
predicates it cannot reproduce written down at the pre-flight, plus the two
properties that depend on it staying there.
Four fix rounds and eight Opus reviews. The slice was fully green at 10,990,
10,997 and 11,004 while containing real defects — a frozen remote pinned as
correct by its own test, a fallback that over-wrote on the exact retail paths
that decline to store, and a park guard incomplete on two independent axes.
Register: AP-137 (leftover classifications take AP-87's catch-up; states the
cell-less enqueue-vs-place delta deferred to 4b-3, that RejectedData is applied
anyway, and the headless divergence), AP-138 (the refusable far placement),
AP-136 narrowed to match the relocation. #309's acceptance steps rewritten —
step 5 previously asserted a recovery the code does not perform — and gated on a
new ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1 signal so the check cannot pass while broken.
Suite 11,009 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed against a measured 10,968 baseline.
The 10,973 figure recorded earlier was wrong and is corrected here.
Connected gate outstanding: the two-client far-snap walk and #309.

The user live-tested route 4a and reported two defects on player remotes: a
remote holds the falling animation after landing before finally landing, and a
remote jumping onto a house plants on the roof where retail slides off, then
blips to the slid-down position.
Neither is a route 4a regression. Do NOT revert 44830a0e — reverting would
restore the per-packet render slam 4a removed without touching either defect.
Bug B's root cause is identified and already covered by open issue #32, whose
text names both symptoms in one sentence. Both landing sites assert
TransientState |= Contact | OnWalkable unconditionally, where retail derives it
from the contact plane — CPhysicsObj::SetPositionInternal @0x00515330
(`if (contact_plane.N.z < floor_z) set_on_walkable(0) else set_on_walkable(1)`).
A steep roof is contact but NOT on_walkable; asserting both suppresses the slide
response, so the body sits until the server's positions walk 4 m away and
AP-87's threshold snaps it. That is the blip. Verified byte-identical pre-4a via
`git show 19d95094:`.
Bug B's *visible shape* IS 4a's: pre-4a every packet slammed the render entity
to the wire pose, so a stuck body flickered toward the true sliding position
5-10x per second — jitter rather than a clean hold.
Bug A stops at the goal's stop-condition rather than getting a speculative fix.
Three hypotheses with non-overlapping fixes; picking wrong means changing a
retail-ported gate on a guess. Retail's mechanism is already fully decoded, so
what is missing is OUR runtime state — no cdb trace against retail is needed.
Adds ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_LANDING (PhysicsDiagnostics, read once at startup per
the diagnostic-owner rule, one bool check when off). It logs both landing sites
immediately before HitGround, and — the most diagnostic signal — emits a
separate line when a site is reached but the gravity gate is about to no-op,
which is hypothesis 1 (a wholesale Body.State write wiping the transient Gravity
bit mid-air, exactly AP-81's stated risk). Temporary instrumentation, marked for
stripping once the evidence is in.
Evidence recorded rather than new bugs filed: #32 gains the observation, the
root cause and the #173/AD-10 dependency caveat; AP-87 gains a live instance of
its stated risk; AD-10's stale file:line is corrected to RemoteMotionCombiner
with a note that its terrain-only normal cannot see a house roof at all.
Also files #308 — a SECOND flaky test, distinct from #302, which was twice
misattributed to it before being written down. #302 is a GC-allocation assertion
in App.Tests; #308 is a wall-clock deadline loop in Core.Net.Tests that fails
only under full-suite CPU contention (0 failures in 4 isolated runs). Conflating
them hides one, and an agent told to "ignore the known flake" would wave through
a real transport regression.

The user typed @pklite and then walked straight through other PKLite players.
Root cause: ClientObject.PublicWeenieBitfield was written exactly once, from the
0xF745 CreateObject parse, and never refreshed. ACE's only PK-change message is
PropertyInt.PlayerKillerStatus (134) over 0x02CE/0x02CD, which we parsed and
stored into Properties.Ints[134] but never translated back into the bitfield —
and ACE never re-sends a PublicWeenieDesc at all (EnqueueBroadcastUpdateObject
has zero live callers), so that property is the ONLY signal a client can learn
from. Both sides of the collision test read the frozen value, so
CollisionExemption's "4c. both PKLite -> collide" rule could never fire.
Retail's missing port: PublicWeenieDesc::SetPlayerKillerStatus @0x005AC7C0
rewrites _bitfield in place — PK(4) -> (b & 0xfddfffff) | 0x20; PKLite(0x40) ->
(b & 0xffdfffdf) | 0x2000000; Free(0x20) -> (b & 0xfdffffdf) | 0x200000; else
b &= 0xfddfffdf. Mutually exclusive, verified byte-for-byte, with input values
confirmed against retail's own PKStatusEnum (acclient.h:6412-6427), not just
ACE's. Driven from ACCWeenieObject::OnStatUpdated @0x0058DF20 case 0x86.
The fix rewrites the value at its source rather than patching consumers. Two
review rounds were needed because the first pass missed that there are TWO
snapshot stores: InboundPhysicsStateController keeps its own private _snapshots
dictionary, and every untimestamped-field merge (ApplyAcceptedObjDesc and
friends) reads `old` from THAT store, not from RuntimeEntityRecord.Snapshot.
Refreshing only the active record left the target-side shadow flags correct
until the remote's next equip or unequip — ACE broadcasts an ObjDesc on every
one — at which point the appearance path rebuilt the registration from the
frozen spawn and dropped the bit permanently. The regression test demanded by
review is what surfaced that; it is verified discriminating (reverting gives
Actual: 8 instead of 33554440).
Five stores now hold this value, kept coherent from one source by two
ObjectUpdated subscribers plus the appearance-rebuild path. The two shadow-flag
writers are the same invalidation applied at the two edges that can invalidate
it, not competing authorities — review enumerated every drift path and closed
each. That coherence invariant is new as of this commit and is recorded as
register row AP-134, with AP-133 as the precedent for filing a row when the
danger is a future writer rather than current behaviour.
Also corrects TS-23's retirement narrative, which claimed every mover-flags call
site read the mover's "real" PK bits from 2026-07-30. The bits existed but their
source was frozen, so that only became true here; the site enumeration also
missed RuntimeSetPositionMoverPreparation, a seventh site that decodes the
snapshot directly.
Unblocks #298 (melee/missile admission needs the local player's own PKLite bit).
Follow-ups filed: #300 (Properties.Ints[134] vs bitfield mirror gap), #301 (same
defect class for radar blip colour and radar behaviour), #302 (a pre-existing
PortalProjection allocation-assertion flake, 1 in 6, found while verifying this
gate), #303 (LiveEntityPvpBitfieldSync is App-resident but Runtime-owned-state).
Gates: complete Release solution 10,895 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
10,887 including #299). Adversarial + retail-conformance review PASS after one
FAIL round. Every new test discrimination-verified by reverting the fix.
Connected acceptance NOT run — needs a live two-client PKLite session.

CollisionExemption checked only the TARGET's IsImpenetrable, and the class doc
asserted "retail's pseudo-C only checks the target's IsImpenetrable(); acdream
follows retail" while blaming ACE for checking both. That was backwards: ACE was
retail-faithful and acdream was missing half the check.
Retail short-circuits on EITHER the mover's own state & IS_IMPENETRABLE (0x80)
OR the target's IsImpenetrable(); either alone exempts. Verified at the byte
level rather than from the decompiler's rendering — Binary Ninja shows the mover
test as `int16_t state_1 ... if (state_1 < 0)`, which reads like a 0x8000 test,
but decoding the PDB-paired binary at the mapped offset gives:
8b 43 04 mov eax,[ebx+4] ; mover object_info.state
f6 c4 01 test ah,1 ; 0x100 IsPlayer
84 c0 test al,al ; sign bit of AL = state & 0x80
78 3d js ... ; -> collide
`test al, al; js` is a byte-level sign test on AL, i.e. 0x80, not 0x8000.
Corroborated downstream in the same block (`test ah,8` = 0x800 IsPK,
`test ah,0x10` = 0x1000 IsPKLite) and by OBJECTINFO::init @0x0050cf30 setting
state |= 0x80 from the object's own IsImpenetrable().
Also corrected: ACCWeenieObject::IsImpenetrable @0x0058c8c0 returns
(_bitfield >> 0x15) & 1 — retail genuinely conflates BF_FREE_PKSTATUS with
"impenetrable", so acdream's FromPwdBitfield decode was already right.
Both retail arms set collide, so ordering between them is semantically free and
a misreading here could only ever produce spurious collisions, never a
walk-through.
Found while investigating #297; not symptom-causing on its own. No divergence
row: this retires a missing port rather than introducing a deviation, and
nothing in the register or the collision digest's DO-NOT-RETRY tables covers it.
Gates: complete Release solution 10,887 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(baseline 10,867/4/0). Adversarial + retail-conformance review PASS on this
change specifically. Both new tests discrimination-verified by reverting the
branch and confirming failure.

Closes#283 (plan S3) - as UNREACHABLE, not by restructuring ownership.
acdream has two owners that convert a landblock-local network origin into the
streamed world frame: LiveWorldOriginState for presentation/streaming, and
RuntimePhysicsState.TryGetWorldFrameOffset for placement. They rebase on
different edges - Runtime the instant an accepted Position carries
TeleportAdvanced, App only once StreamingOriginRecenterCoordinator observes
old-window retirement completion, many frames later. A one-landblock
disagreement places an entity 192 m from the geometry around it: the same
failure family as the zero-offset bug 670f307c fixed, with a wrong origin
instead of a missing one.
The plan's first step was to prove or disprove reachability BEFORE moving
ownership, because a restructure on a hypothesis is churn. The probe added in
898ff18b answered it: a connected Release session recorded ZERO disagreements
across 11 completed reveals and six destination landblocks (0x0904, 0x1134,
0x3032, 0x8763, 0xA9B4, 0xF682) spanning roughly 45 km. A gap of even one
frame would have printed an offset in the tens of thousands of metres.
Cause of the safety: BeginOriginRecenter detaches EVERY resident landblock
before the new origin is adopted, so the two rebases are serialized and no
conversion can observe the gap. Ownership is therefore left exactly as it is.
What lands instead is the invariant that keeps it true.
LiveWorldOriginState.EnsureAgreesWithRuntimeFrame is checked at the
landblock->world conversion and is terminal on disagreement, converting a
silent 192 m-multiple misplacement into a loud failure with the offset in
metres and the landblock being projected. Six focused tests pin it, including
the cross-world portal case (0x09 -> 0xF6 = 45,504 m). Disagreement can no
longer reach the probe, so ACDREAM_PROBE_WORLD_FRAME now emits a verbose
per-conversion agreement trace - useful when a placement looks displaced for
some reason OTHER than a frame disagreement.
Complete Release solution: 10,844 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

#283 step 1: prove or disprove reachability before restructuring ownership.
Runtime rebases its world frame the instant an accepted Position carries
TeleportAdvanced (RuntimePhysicsState.ObserveLocalWorldFrame). App's
LiveWorldOriginState rebases only once StreamingOriginRecenterCoordinator
.Advance observes IsOriginRecenterRetirementComplete - many frames later,
after the old window has fully retired. Between those two edges the owners can
disagree by the source-to-destination landblock delta, and anything converted
in the gap lands a multiple of 192 m from the geometry App is building. Same
failure family as the zero-offset bug 670f307c fixed, with a wrong origin
rather than a missing one.
Reasoning has already closed most of the window: the recenter detaches EVERY
resident landblock before adopting the new origin, so old-origin collision is
retired first. What remains is the narrow gap between Runtime's flip and App's
BeginOriginRecenter, while old-origin geometry is still resident. Whether that
is ever actually hit is an empirical question, and the campaign rule is that a
restructure needs evidence, not a hypothesis.
ACDREAM_PROBE_WORLD_FRAME=1 emits one [world-frame] line per DISAGREEMENT at
DatLiveEntityProjectionMaterializer's landblock->world conversion - the exact
App-side counterpart of Runtime's TryGetWorldFrameOffset, and the site that
already holds both owners, so no new dependency is introduced. Silence across
a portal run is the evidence that #283 is unreachable and can close as a
permanent invariant instead of an ownership move.
Measurement only: the probe never gates placement, and the flag lives in
PhysicsDiagnostics with the rest of the ACDREAM_PROBE_* family per the
diagnostic-owner rule rather than as a scattered env read.
Complete Release solution: 10,836 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Campaign P remaining-physics-divergence, placement cutover slice C3c
(docs/plans/2026-08-02-placement-cutover.md). Both production hosts now
register every initial Create through the residence + continuation-
executor + first-entry-conductor machinery (C0-C3b):
- Graphical (route 1): RegisterEntityWithInitialResidence at Create; the
shared RuntimeFirstEntryDriveController pumps both conductors from the
placement-receipt flow; MaterializeProjection and RebucketLiveEntity
are presentation-only while a residence is ACTIVE (ExecutorCompleted is
the presentation-binding receipt); post-residence entities take the
full legacy path including the prepare_to_enter_world clock edges.
PlayerModeController attaches presentation to the Runtime-published
controller; its legacy resolve/step-heights/host-construction path is
deleted; presentation-only rollback (retail has no entry-flow rollback).
- Headless (route 8): OnSpawned registers with residence when a drive
exists; content-less sessions keep the pre-flip direct registration;
SynchronizeLocalPlayer/CreateController/ApplySetupStepHeights deleted;
prepared-collision read failure is a typed AwaitingCollisionSource
retry; far remotes outside the service window complete celless.
- RuntimeLocalPlayerMovementState.Controller setter sealed internal; all
controller mutation flows through the publication lifecycle.
Fix slices landed within this cutover, each dual-gated:
- F1: live movement-stat/server-physics application routed through the
Runtime ownership seam (post-logout ingest crash on the retired
controller eliminated; RuntimeMovementSkillProjection deleted).
- F2: login activation wedge - collision-admission prefix gate factored
out of the seal (reentrant-commit RejectedAuthority), rearm generation
identity corrected, PlayerModeAutoEntry requires the Runtime-published
controller (world reveal can no longer seal unmaterialized).
- F3: landblock-prefix 0-sentinel replaced by explicit absent-id guards;
map-corner landblocks (grid row/col 0) fully legal through admission,
park/rearm/retire, quiescence, and outdoor shadow seeds.
- F5: local-player first-entry ground contact seeded by the shared
SpawnPlacementSettler (moved App->Core) at FinalizeActivation - the
retail first-gravity-frame touch (enter_world 0x00516170 carries no
seed); the legacy unconditional force-seed is overwritten by a real
floor-found contact; airborne spawns stay airborne; outbound contact
bit verified end-to-end. Fixes the standing-cast 'You can't do that
while in the air!' rejections.
- R1 (dual-review round): login constraint leash armed at the committed
placement (HandleReceivedPosition 0x00453FD0 analog); register rows
AD-61 (settle-timing compression now covering the local player) and
AD-42 (repointed off the deleted resolve split) in this commit;
residence-conversion owner API; wire-landblock guards; drive-pending
ledger in IsConverged; route attach/detach latch; executor-drain drift
model documented + source-pinned.
Gates: Runtime 1,003, App 4,039/3 skips, Headless 79, complete solution
10,816/0 failed/4 skips (Release, -m:1); connected lifecycle/reconnect

The creation-only spawn placement could no-op or fail during the login
flood (cell id not yet hydrated / streaming collision not resident) with
nothing retrying - monsters created in that window stayed
airborne-flagged forever and their action animations remained refused.
Retail's answer to 'object addressed before its cell exists' is the
CObjectMaint lost-cell list (GotoLostCell): park, re-place when the cell
is available. The UM dispatch path now retries SeedRemoteSpawnPlacement
while the body has never been successfully placed (no contact AND no
stored plane); one success ends the retries.
Probes: [SPAWN-PLACE] logs each placement outcome (guid/cell/ok/
contact/walkable); [UM-ACT]/[MT-FAIL] now carry the owning guid via
MotionInterpreter.DiagnosticGuid (probe-identity-attribution lesson)
plus the body's live contact/walkable flags.

The [MT-FAIL] probe caught combat-stance monsters constantly failing to
dispatch 0x40000015 (Falling): their bodies were airborne-flagged while
standing. contact_allows_move (0x00528dd0) requires Contact+OnWalkable
and silently refuses every action animation for an airborne mover - a
spawned-standing monster's swings never played until it first moved.
Retail never has this state: CreateObject spawns run the placement
transition (CPhysicsObj::SetPosition -> SetPositionInternal 0x00515330),
which establishes CONTACT/ON_WALKABLE from the floor at spawn. Our
remote creation seeded a raw position with no placement.
SeedRemoteSpawnPlacement mirrors RemoteTeleportPlacement: engine
placement resolve (Setup-derived cylinder, TS-46) + the verbatim
CommitSetPositionTransition, wired at BOTH RemoteMotion creation sites
(UM-triggered creation - so a first-ever-UM attack animates in the same
packet - and ordinary first-UP creation). Unplaceable results leave the
body airborne exactly like a failed retail placement.
Also adds the [UM-ACT] (wire action items + stamp-gate verdict) and
[MT-FAIL] (refused animation dispatches) probes, riding
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION=1, which are what convicted the body state.

Retail calls CPhysicsObj::report_exhaustion from exactly one site -
CommandInterpreter::HandleExhaustion (0x006b3c70), a notification handler
for the stamina-exhaustion EVENT. Campaign P P1 wired it to every
movement-stats application instead (every stamina regen/drain tick), and
each call re-dispatches the current movement state through the animation
sink - truncating any in-flight action animation. The diagnostic session
log shows 490 spurious casting-stance re-queues in one short session:
'sometimes stuck in spell animations' was every stamina tick that
collided with a cast gesture's play window.
The re-apply now fires only when the exhausted state (stamina == 0)
transitions, matching retail's event semantics. Stats still reach
PlayerWeenie immediately via RuntimeMovementSkillProjection.ApplyTo.
Also adds the [remote-edge] probe (rides ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION=1): one
line per remote HitGround/LeaveGround - each such edge drains the
mover's pending action animations (retail HandleEnterWorld), the
working theory for intermittently missing monster attack swings.

Retail jump landings BOUNCE: the floor touch records both a contact plane
(grounding) AND a collision normal (collided_with_environment), and
handle_all_collisions reflects the unmodified impact velocity off it at
5% elasticity (v += -(v.n)(elasticity+1).n, DEFAULT_ELASTICITY 0.05
@0x007c6a7c). Our transition already recorded both facts; the bounce was
suppressed by the AD-25 adaptation stack in the per-tick commit: a
Velocity.Z<=0 landing gate (needed because the resolver glued ascending
movers to the ground) plus a landing Velocity.Z=0 hand-zero whose stated
purpose was making the reflect a no-op. Downhill glided instead of
bouncing, flat-ground landings had no pop, and uphill jumps flapped
between grounded/airborne against the animation machine.
Three retail mechanisms replace the stack:
- check_contact (0x0050f5b0) seeding in ResolveWithTransition: a body in
CONTACT seeds the transition's contact only while v.contactPlane.N <=
0.0002; moving away seeds the last-known plane alone (get_object_info
0x00511cc0). Ascending jumps therefore run contact-free (ballistic, no
glue) - the gate's reason-for-being is gone. The plane requirement is
strict: Contact-without-plane is unrepresentable in retail.
- SetPositionInternal-shaped commit (0x00515330, byte-read end-to-end,
velocity-sign-FREE): contact purely from the transition's contact
plane, HitGround on the airborne->walkable edge, HandleAllCollisions
with unmodified impact velocity. Whole commit gated on Ok &&
candidateMoved (retail pc:283657 skips SetPositionInternal entirely
when the candidate did not move) - a standing body's contact state is
never re-derived, which is what keeps rest bit-stable (AD-41 updated).
- Byte decodes: gate override state&0x800000=Sledding, zero branch
state&0x20000=Inelastic, reflect strictly dot<0 - our port already had
all three correct.
Settle: real landings (>=0.25 m/s) bounce and decay geometrically;
smaller impacts are consumed by retail's unconditional small-velocity
zero, so standing never micro-bounces. Re-baselines documented in place:
landing-survival pin measures decay post-settle; LiveCompare_Tick0/376
pin the new IsOnGround=false on zero-move ticks (captured true was the
retired seed echo; tick 376's captured body carries an 11.8 m/s grounded
velocity from the deleted get_state_velocity-overwrite era); de-overlap
fixture now carries the plane real grounded bodies always have. New
pins: LandingBounceSeedingTests (ascent no-seed, rest keeps contact,
strict plane, slope 5% reversal + tangential preservation, Sledding
override).

Capture bisect (docs/research/2026-07-30-265-capture-bisect.md, mined
from artifacts/matrix-session2-resolve.jsonl records 3415-3434) traced
#265's lost roof slides / permanent landing freeze and #166's missing
downhill sled to a pre-existing (2026-07-20, ten days before Campaign P
- not a regression) mechanism in PlayerMovementController.cs's grounded
quantum block: it hand-zeroed Velocity.X/Y to exactly zero every tick
once OnWalkable whenever animation root motion drives the walk (the
production graphical local-player path), discarding any residual
horizontal momentum a fall left on the body before calc_friction
(AP-7/AD-55, already correctly ported) or PhysicsBody.
UpdatePhysicsInternal's Euler integrator ever got a chance to act on it.
Two changes:
1. PhysicsEngine.cs now syncs body.GroundNormal (the vector
calc_friction dots velocity against, per retail
CPhysicsObj::calc_friction 0x0050ee70's `contact_plane.Normal` read)
from the committed ContactPlane.Normal at the same commit point that
already publishes ContactPlane. GroundNormal had zero production
writers before this and silently defaulted to Vector3.UnitZ forever
- even surviving velocity would have been tested against a fake
flat-ground normal on any real slope. Core-level, so player, remote,
ordinary, and projectile movers all benefit uniformly.
2. PlayerMovementController.cs's grounded block no longer reconstructs
Velocity at all for the animation-root-motion case (only the
headless/test-controller get_state_velocity fallback still does,
unchanged). Root motion continues to fully own commanded locomotion;
this only stops destroying whatever Velocity already holds, letting
it compose with root motion through the same ResolveWithTransition
sweep exactly as retail's CPhysicsObj::UpdatePositionInternal
composes both channels.
Symptom (a), the uphill-jump bounce, traces to a SEPARATE, byte-exact
(re-verified against acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:282647-282760),
already-closed retail mechanism (AD-25, PhysicsObjUpdate.
HandleAllCollisions's shouldReflect gate) - confirmed orthogonal to this
fix, not addressed here (see the research doc's as-fixed addendum §9.5).
Issue265SteepSlopeCaptureBisectTests.cs gains a composed harness
(ReplayRealRoofLandingComposed) mirroring PlayerMovementController.cs's
per-tick composition against Core types only, proving: the old model
reproduces the mined freeze exactly; the new model survives the landing
and slides continuously (the real captured geometry glides at constant
velocity per retail's own dot>=0.25 early-return - AP-7); a synthetic
dot<0.25 case shows genuine exponential decay via calc_friction; and a
synthetic uphill-bounce case proves the fix changes nothing about
HandleAllCollisions's reflection decision.

Raw byte decode of MovementSystem::GetRunRate (0x006b0950, PDB-paired
binary): fild skill; fcom [800f]; fnstsw; test ah, 0x44; jp general —
the C2/C3 parity idiom whose 18/4 fall-through executes ONLY at
skill == 800 exactly. ACE read this as >= 800 ('max run speed?') and
Campaign P P1 inherited that misread when BN dropped the arithmetic,
flat-lining every maxed character at 4.5 (retail-true ~3.70, +21%) and
erasing the vitae differential (both 10200 and 15225 sat above 800).
The [stat-chain] live capture proved the enchant chain correct end to
end (vitae 0.67 -> eff run 10200 -> controller), isolating the formula.
General path byte-verified: (loadMod*(skill/(skill+200)*11)+4)/scaling/4.
InqMaxRunRate's skill=9999 probe gets ~3.6961, not 4.5.
Golden tests pin the 799/800/801 straddle and the maxed-skill vitae

bare rate unless RunForward; forward_speed x 4.0 when running;
current_speed_factor proven a ctor-constant 1.0 at 0x00528C34) and swaps
all five interpolation catch-up call sites to it - retail's
fUseAdjustedSpeed_ static (.data 0x0081F418 = 1) makes this the live
branch, so standing/walking remotes now catch up at ~2x runRate instead
of 4x too fast (the #41/#165 presentation family). Autorun now hard-
forces Run for its duration and cancels on every fresh forward press
(CommandInterpreter::HandleNewForwardMovement 0x006b3d60 is literally
SetAutoRun(0,1)); the old test pin codified the divergence. AP-30
retired: retail Frame::is_equal genuinely uses the 0.0002 epsilon - the

Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md Addendum (byte-proven
2026-07-30). Raw bytes of CPhysicsObj::calc_friction @ 0x0050ee70's
Sledding fast-sled branch (0x0050ef52-0x0050ef6a):

d9 ff fcos ; st0 = cos(10 deg) = 0.984807753
de d9 fcompp
confirm a genuine fcos opcode over a real 10-degrees-in-radians double
literal -- not a BN misdecompile of a raw float load. Retail truly
computes cos(10 deg) ~ 0.9848078 at runtime; ACE's 0.99999536f equals
cos(0.1745 DEGREES) -- the same radian literal evaluated in degree mode,
a proven ACE porting error carried into this port provisionally.
PhysicsBody.calc_friction's Sledding near-flat override now compares
GroundNormal.Z > 0.98480775f (cos 10 deg). Feel impact: retail's 0.2f
fast-sled friction override engages on any ground within 10 degrees of
flat; the old constant engaged only within ~0.175 degrees (never, in
practice).
Tests: two new boundary pins
(calc_friction_sledding_fast_override_engages_at_5_degrees_from_flat /
..._does_not_engage_at_15_degrees_from_flat) construct a tilted
GroundNormal with velocity purely orthogonal to the tilt plane (dot=0
exactly, isolating the Sledding-band friction value from the outer 0.25f
gate and the normal-removal step) and assert the exact pow(1-friction, dt)
decay on each side of the new 10-degree boundary.

Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md §1, §4 item 2 (the
decisive TS-4 confirming run). Retail's BSP layer has NO steepness test at
all (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:323783-323821, 0x0053a793) — every airborne
hit, steep or shallow, falls through to the same unconditional
`SetCollide` + `Adjusted`. The L.4 slide-tangent shortcut (worldNormal.Z <
FloorZ -> project-and-Slid, with its own SetSlidingNormal write) is deleted
from both BSPQuery.cs's and FlatBspQuery.cs's Path 6 sphere0 branch.
Fixing FlatBspQuery.cs (the flat/indexed engine Slice I6/I7 made
production-authoritative) was necessary in this same commit: it carried an
exact structural duplicate of the shortcut, caught by
FlatBspQueryDifferentialTests.InstalledDat_LargeRandomizedSweep_HasZeroBitMismatch
(graph=Adjusted vs flat=Slid) once the graph side was fixed alone. Its
sphere1 branch is also brought in line with the #116 shape-1 fix landed
in db2889af (direct Collided + SetCollisionNormal instead of the deferred
SetCollide/shortcut treatment) — that parity gap existed since shape-1's
commit only touched BSPQuery.cs and the randomized differential sweep
didn't happen to exercise the narrow foot-clear/head-hit case until this
session's broader change surfaced it.
DECISIVE CONFIRMING RUN (Ts4SteepRoofWedgeCaptureTests, per the plan's own
required test-first order): added
FallOntoSteepSlope_WithHorizontalVelocity_NeverFreezesForOverHalfASecond_AndReachesFloor
— the same steep-roof drop as the existing pure-vertical fixture, but with
a small residual horizontal velocity (vx=-0.3 m/s), matching the realistic
live-play input (WASD, jump momentum) that validated the shortcut on
2026-04-30. With the shortcut removed, this variant converges cleanly to
the flat floor with zero freeze. The pure-vertical fixture, run
shortcut-removed, DOES still freeze — per the oracle plan's root-cause
trace (§1.2 Step E), this is the DEGENERATE case: AdjustOffset's crease
projection (Cross(ContactPlane.Normal, SlidingNormal)) is mathematically
orthogonal to a purely-Z gravity offset, crushing it to zero every tick
before TransitionalInsert can run again — present identically in the raw
decomp, ACE's port, and this port. Renamed and re-asserted as a PINNED
known-degenerate test
(FallOntoSteepSlope_PureVertical_FreezesAtDegenerateFixedPoint_RetailParity)
rather than treated as a bug. Filed as register row AD-56.
BSPStepUpTests.C3_Path6_AirborneMoverHitsSteepSlope_ReturnsSlid pinned the
OLD shortcut's Slid-no-Collide behavior directly; renamed to
...ReturnsAdjustedAndSetsCollide and corrected to the retail-faithful
Adjusted/Collide=true outcome.
Register: TS-4 row retired (struck through, retirement note); AD-56 filed
for the pure-vertical degenerate case; the retire-next shortlist's TS-4

Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md §2.3-§2.4: retail's
airborne (not-yet-Contact) BSPTREE::find_collisions dispatch, when the
FOOT sphere is completely clear but the HEAD sphere hits or near-misses,
does not defer through SetCollide/Adjusted (nor the steep-poly
slide-tangent shortcut) — it records the head polygon's normal directly
and hard-stops: pc:323824-323834 (0x0053a793/0x0053a7a4), independently
cross-checked against ACE BSPTree.cs:221-230 (`SetCollisionNormal` +
`return TransitionState.Collided;`), an exact structural match confirming
this isn't a BN misdecompile. BSPQuery.cs's Path 6 `hasSphere1` branch now
does the same: `collisions.SetCollisionNormal(worldNormal1); return
TransitionState.Collided;`, replacing the old steep-shortcut-or-deferred-
SetCollide handling. This mechanically retires one of TS-4's two
`SetSlidingNormal` write sites (sphere1's) ahead of TS-4's own item.
Added two permanent diagnostics gated on the existing
PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeIndoorBspEnabled flag (`[path-dispatch]` at
FindCollisionsCore entry, `[path5-diag]` inside Path 5) to make future
BSPQuery dispatch tracing cheaper.
HONEST RESULT of the plan's own confirming instrumentation (re-run of
DoorBugTrajectoryReplayTests.Diagnostic_Tick22760_DumpEngineInternals):
this fix does NOT change the tick-22760 outcome (harness still cn=(0,0,1)
vs live cn=(0,+1,0)). The new dispatch-entry probes show the tick-22760
mover is GROUNDED (Contact set), so it never reaches Path 6 at all — it
dispatches Path 5 -> StepSphereDown (Path 3, both DoStepDown half-steps
fail) -> EdgeSlideAfterStepDownFailed -> SpherePath.PrecipiceSlide, whose
find_crossed_edge-false fallback returns Collided with NO collision-normal
write. A fresh byte-level read of retail's SPHEREPATH::precipice_slide
(pc:274316-274326, 0x0050cc80) confirms this is byte-exact retail
behavior (`if (eax == 0) { walkable = 0; return 2; }`, no
set_collision_normal call) — not a bug. The real tick-22760 divergence is
further upstream, most likely this test's simplified door registration
(BuildEngineWithDoorFixture) not placing the door's BSP where live retail
actually intersected it, or a walkable-polygon state-capture gap — see
the research doc's Addendum 2 for the full trace and open candidates.
#116 shape-1 is therefore NARROWED, not closed: the Path-6 fix is a real,
independent retail-faithfulness improvement; the tick-22760 acceptance
criterion is not met by it and needs further harness/geometry work before
any further code change.

Per the TS-4/#116 oracle plan (docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md
§1.4, §4 item 1): TransitionalInsert's retry loop hardcoded
`return TransitionState.Slid;` when the attempt budget exhausted, despite
the comment's own claim of returning "whatever the last iteration said."
ACE's equivalent (Transition.cs:933, `return transitState;`) and retail's
(pc:273363, 0x0050b949, `return edi;`) both reuse one state variable
across the composite per-attempt call and return whatever it holds.
acdream's per-phase dispatch (env/building/object/other-cells/neg-poly/
step-down) is split across several locals instead of ACE's single
composite call, so `transitState` is now re-synced from whichever
phase-local variable most recently caused a retry `continue`, and the
final return uses that real value instead of the hardcoded constant.
Blast radius is zero: ValidateTransition's "not OK" branch treats
Collided/Adjusted/Slid identically, and every caller of TransitionalInsert
either feeds the result straight into ValidateTransition/
ValidatePlacementTransition (both `== OK` vs. not) or checks `== OK`
directly. Full AcDream.Core.Tests suite: 4059 passed / 2 skipped, no
change in pass count.

PhysicsBody.IsFullyConstrained now reflects real ConstraintManager state
(pushed every tick by the same per-tick pumps commit 2 wired), so
jump_is_allowed's already-ported gate (WeenieError 0x47) actually fires
while an object is rubber-banding hard against a server position
correction, closing the last piece of #167.
Housekeeping:
- Delete register row TS-35 (retired: the write side is no longer stubbed).
- Rewrite the stale doc comments on PhysicsBody.IsFullyConstrained,
ConstraintManager (class + IsFullyConstrained), PositionManager.ConstrainTo,
EntityPhysicsHost.PositionManager, and PlayerMovementController.PositionManager
that described the leash as permanently unarmed/stubbed.
- Close#167 in ISSUES.md citing the research doc and commits e0629145 /
7719d25b.
- Add an "as-ported" addendum to
docs/research/2026-07-30-constraint-leash-constants.md naming the actual
current seam owners (the doc's own open question flagged this as
implementer-verify-required post-J-slices).
- Update docs/plans/2026-07-29-physics-parity-campaign.md's P5 status and
CLAUDE.md's Campaign P summary to reflect #167's closure (items #153/#72
remain open in P5).
Verification: complete solution suite green - 9,978 tests, 5 skips, 0
failures across all 9 test projects (Core.Tests, Runtime.Tests, App.Tests,
Headless.Tests, Core.Net.Tests, Content.Tests, UI.Abstractions.Tests,
Bake.Tests, Cli.Tests).
Add ConstraintDistance (outdoor/indoor start=10/5, max=50/20), byte-decoded
from the matching retail binary (GetStartConstraintDistance 0x0050ebc0,
GetMaxConstraintDistance 0x0050ec10 - both x87-return functions BN elided).
Deliberately omits the vestigial player-vs-remote branch the disassembly
shows loads identical constants either way. Pins the ACE-inversion (ACE's
start mapping is outdoor 5/indoor 10, the opposite of the binary - the
binary wins). Adds a full-chain conformance test proving an armed,
over-strained leash actually blocks jump_is_allowed (0x47), not just the
bare stub-property regression already covered.

Campaign P Slice P4 Opus review verdict: FIX-FIRST. RestrictionObjPrevalenceInspectionTests
(commit 3b5e0992) found 103,766 of 729,888 installed EnvCells (1,293 landblocks -
the whole housing estate) carry a baked RestrictionObj. The AP-71 gate's
unconditional fail-closed default (CanMoveInto unmodeled) would have locked
every apartment/cottage/villa interior for every player, including its own
owner - a live regression, not the "inert in dev content" the original
register row assumed.
Ports ACCWeenieObject::CanMoveInto (0x0058da40, pc:407982-408056) and
RestrictionDB::IsAllowedIn (0x005ae8f0, pc:444493-444516) verbatim into
ObjectInfo.CheckEntryRestrictions:
- owner_iid == 0 or == mover's own guid -> admit (open/owner)
- no RestrictionDB (retail _db == 0, i.e. never authored or not yet
received) -> admit
- present RestrictionDB -> IsAllowedIn: open-to-public flag, OR mover
shares the house's allegiance monarch, OR mover's own guid is a
guest-table member
- unresolved restriction object -> fails CLOSED, exactly retail's own
fallback when GetObjectA can't resolve it (pc:704-716)
Wire feed (Core.Net):
- CreateObject.cs: HouseOwner (WeenieHeaderFlag 0x02000000), HouseRestrictions
(0x04000000), and Monarch (0x40) PWD-tail fields were parsed-and-skipped;
now captured. Also fixes the HouseRestrictions PHashTable header
misconception: the wire is ONE packed u32 (low 24 bits = entry count),
not a separate count(u16)+numBuckets(u16) pair - verified against
Chorizite's RestrictionDB.generated.cs. The old skip's byte-count
happened to match for realistic guest-list sizes, but a future
numBuckets value >255 would have corrupted the parse; now correct
regardless.
- GameEvents.cs/GameEventWiring.cs: new House_UpdateRestrictions (0x0248)
parser + wiring - retail's live guest-list refresh, whole-unit replace.
No-ops if the house object hasn't arrived via CreateObject yet.
- ClientObject/WeenieData/ClientObjectTable: HouseOwnerId, MonarchId,
Restrictions (new HouseRestrictionRecord) fields + merge-preserving
Ingest + targeted UpdateHouseRestrictions.
Physics wiring:
- PhysicsEngine gains an Objects (ClientObjectTable?) property, mirroring
the existing DataCache pattern - acdream's GetObjectA equivalent, used
ONLY by the entry-restriction gate.
- RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime wires Physics.Engine.Objects = Objects in
all three constructors, right alongside the table's own construction -
the same canonical table every other subsystem borrows from, never a
second one. This is the production fix: without it the gate still fails
closed on every restricted cell (unresolvable object), so the wiring is
load-bearing, not cosmetic.
Register: AP-129 narrowed (not retired) to the genuine remaining residual -
House_UpdateRestrictions' Sequence byte isn't used for staleness/reordering
rejection (low-probability, self-correcting), and outdoor CLandCell
restriction (a separate DAT structure) remains unported and unaffected by
this fix.
Tests: 15 new/updated in Ap71EntryRestrictionGateTests.cs (resolved-unowned
admits, owner admits, present-list-excluded blocks, present-list-included
admits, open-to-public admits, shared-allegiance-monarch admits, unresolved

PhysicsEngine.Objects-wired scenarios); 2 new CreateObject parser tests +
2 new GameEventWiring tests for the wire feed.

Campaign P Slice P4 item 2. TerrainSurface.SampleWaterDepth now returns 0.1
(was collapsed to 0) for a partially-water cell's dry corner, matching
retail's ObjCell.get_water_depth / calc_water_depth (via ACE's unambiguous
C# port). ValidateWalkable's formula was already byte-for-byte verbatim
(ACE ObjectInfo.ValidateWalkable line 124); only the constant was collapsed.
The old collapse's justification ("0.1 destabilizes the feet-exactly-on-plane
contact-touch check because dist > EPSILON skips SetContactPlane that tick")
is structurally true of retail too - traced and confirmed this slice: in ALL
THREE implementations (retail, ACE, acdream) a skipped touch-reassertion is
NOT a fall, because Contact/OnWalkable are STICKY -
PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition's onGround computation ORs the fresh
per-call ContactPlaneValid with the seeded, persistent
PhysicsBody.TransientState.OnWalkable bit (itself written back by the
caller's own sticky TransientState). PhysicsEngine.SampleTerrainWalkable's
isWater = waterDepth >= 0.45f threshold means the restore does not flip the
dry corner's water classification (0.1 still < 0.45) - only the sink-in
depth changes. Full Core.Tests suite green (4038/2 skips, up from 4026)
proves the sticky-bit argument held in practice.
WATER_CONTACT_TS (TransientStateFlags.WaterContact, declared but never
written) is now mirrored alongside CONTACT_TS/ON_WALKABLE_TS at every commit
point that writes them: PhysicsObjUpdate.ApplySetPositionContact (projectiles
+ remote teleport), PhysicsObjUpdate.CommitSetPositionTransition (remote
teleport placement), and PhysicsEngine's per-resolve body-state commit (local
player + remote dead-reckoning + ordinary movers via ResolveWithTransition -
the actual SetPositionInternal-equivalent path). No signature changes needed:
body.ContactPlaneIsWater is already fresh by the time each function runs.
CollisionShadowVerifier audit: no change needed. It diffs graph-vs-flat BSP
traversal outcomes (ObjectInfo/CollisionInfo/SpherePath fields already
including ContactPlaneIsWater); it never touches PhysicsBody.TransientState,
and the water-depth constant is computed identically upstream of both
traversal modes, so it cannot introduce a new graph/flat divergence.
Filed #264 for the three items research explicitly left open (none block
this port): no confirmed retail consumer of WATER_CONTACT_TS was found (an
xref scan wasn't attempted - bitmask reads aren't text-greppable); the
CLandCell ENTIRELY_WATER ethereal/swim exemption from terrain collision was
not cross-checked; jump-in-water/swim-animation effects were not
investigated (out of physics/collision scope).
Conformance: Ap10WaterSemanticsTests covers SampleWaterDepth golden values
(NotWater/EntirelyWater/PartiallyWater wet+dry corners), the isWater
threshold non-flip, WaterContact mirroring in both PhysicsObjUpdate
functions, and two settle-to-rest end-to-end PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition
scenarios (water: sinks exactly waterDepth below the plane and sets
WaterContact; dry: rests exactly on the plane and clears any stale
WaterContact bit).
Register: retired AP-10 (92 active AP rows, down from 93).
AcDream.Core.Tests: 4038 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.
