Root cause: pending-only live projection buckets were misclassified as landblock presentation owners during origin recentering. That manufactured a second full cleanup receipt for a generation whose first receipt was still advancing; the duplicate guard threw and the broad retry path replayed the already-committed detach 243 times.
Keep pending live projections through the spatial identity map without issuing another receipt, and fail fast when a receipt-ledger invariant occurs after detachment. Evidence: docs/research/2026-08-02-collision-throughput-handoff/p1-retirement-receipt-loop.md. Release suite, lifecycle gate, and nine-stop soak pass.
Late-arriving adversarial-review artifact: deletions confirmed clean
(no surviving consumers, no post-Revoke dereference), one dead orphan
(CollisionWorldStateSlot.TransferTo), two stale test names, and the
stale-docs catalog for whoever lands the collision work.

Publication-throughput rework per the D2 design (docs/research/
2026-08-02-collision-throughput-handoff/design-note.md): O1 per-prefix
installed-key ledgers replacing the seal's full-map scans; O2 per-
landblock delta commit (LandblockReplacementApplyCursor against the
active root) replacing whole-world TransferTo; O3 empty staging root,
commit-time reflood (CObjCell::init_objects 0x0052B420 ->
recalc_cross_cells 0x00515A30), journal/peer-rebase machinery deleted
(~1,900 lines net).
Automated gates green: Runtime 999, Core physics 2,135, App 4,039/3,
Headless 79, complete solution 10,812/0/4; lifecycle gate PASS

loadedLandblocks baseline-identical, waitCue 6/9 -> 1/9).
COMMITTED AS WIP ON USER DIRECTION - NOT ACCEPTED. The user feel-test

InvalidOperationException catch-retry loop during origin recenter
(launch-feeltest-oclone.log). The 4 remaining soak failures
(pendingLandblockRetirements 131/122 at the Caul->Sawato stops) and the

C3c COMPLETE at 529e0e9d in the placement-cutover plan (five fix slices,
R1 dual-review round, final gates). New closeout research note. ISSUES
#276 (settle-CellId discard), #277 (route-1 far-Create radius bound),
#278 (user-session triage bundle). Register AD-60/AD-61 numeric order.
The next slice before C5 is the 6b28ff99 O(changed) collision clone
(soak convergence); C4 resumes after.

C3b landed at 0934a121 with dual review PASS. The plan records the
remote-entry mechanism and its verified retail anchors; the float-gates
doc gains the port note pinning the NaN dispositions (friction's
sanctioned skip; elasticity and translucency routed exactly as the
binary; ACE's elasticity NaN divergence recorded). Every dormant C3
prerequisite is now complete — C3c, the host flip with the connected
gates, is the sole remaining piece of C3.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
C3b's blocking retail question, resolved byte-certain from the
PDB-paired v11.4186 binary: CPhysicsObj::set_description applies the
desc's friction only when 0.0 <= friction <= 1.0 (outer JNP-on-parity
gate vs 0.0 double at .rdata 0x00794610; inner <= 1.0 vs 0x3FF0... at
0x007928c0), and applies live translucency + the CPartArray propagation
only when translucency != 0.0f (FCOMP m32 vs 0.0f at 0x007c6a80;
translucencyOriginal is written unconditionally before the gate). Every
FLD/FCOM operand address read from .rdata and every FNSTSW/TEST/Jcc
decoded by hand; ACE PhysicsObj.cs:3557-3568 independently reproduces
all three predicates as the cross-check. Unblocks the C3b remote
body-construction port.

The C1 body-writer research found the atomic controller/body transaction
already built and tested: RuntimeLocalPlayerPhysicsPublicationState plus
the dormant local-activation family implement the sanctioned
off-canonical-prepare + validated-atomic-commit shape end-to-end, with
zero production callers. The committed writer map records the six
canonical body writers, the two host escape hatches (the public
Controller setter both hosts write directly; App's object-clock facade
bypasses), the headless prepared-collision fragility, and both hosts'
construction divergences. C1 therefore collapses into C3's route-1 flip
— the remaining work is production wiring, not mechanism design — and
C2 (the placement allocation budget) becomes the next slice.

The continuation executor (5db3de3c) completed the dormant residence
mechanism; the cutover is the campaign leg that makes it production truth.
The committed 8-route inventory maps every duplicate placement authority in
both hosts with exact call chains, confirms the placement-receipt observer
seam is fully built but unattached, and surfaces five pre-cutover gaps the
shipped mechanism cannot yet express (executor-to-channel bridge, atomic
controller/body publication, the 1,880 B/op activation budget, Runtime-side
live-input derivation, the portal-authority adapter). The plan decomposes
the cutover into C0-C5 bisectable slices under the campaign's standing
contract/dual-review/gate discipline, ending at the connected routes and
the user visual matrix that retire AP-1/AD-1.

Synchronize the architecture doc, milestones, roadmap, and ISSUES with the
continuation-executor behavior commit (5db3de3c): the residence system is
now a complete dormant mechanism, both independent reviews PASS, and the
next boundary is the all-host production cutover. The admission handoff
gains its superseded banner; the successor handoff records the executor's
ownership, the retail anchors proven during review (the wire-contact gate,
queue-by-parent-GUID relation replay, HasAnims semantics), the seven new
register rows, exact test totals, the rollback command, and the cutover
checklist. #275 filed for the post-cutover legacy-Position unification.

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).

docs/ISSUES.md: #265 and #166 updated with the root cause and fix from
the prior two commits; closure of both pends the user's visual-gate
acceptance. #265 also records the confirmed-separate uphill-bounce
finding (AD-25, byte-exact retail, out of scope). #166 records that the
Campaign P visual-matrix recheck it was waiting on DID happen and found
the glide/bounce still missing even with AD-25/AP-7/AD-55/TS-4 all
landed - that negative result is what triggered the #265 capture bisect
and this fix.
docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md: AP-7's retirement note
corrected. The row's original claim ("no horizontal velocity to hammer")
undersold the gap - calc_friction was structurally unreachable with
meaningful data on any grounded path, not just inert on the root-motion
path. No new row filed: this change ports retail's mechanism faithfully
and does not introduce a new deviation.
docs/research/2026-07-30-265-capture-bisect.md: full "as-fixed" addendum
(new section 9) recording the implementation - the fix mechanism, fixture
results (freeze reproduced under the old model, slide+decay proven under
the new one), the downhill-direction derivation for the synthetic decay
case, the two separate mechanisms found while building the Runtime tests
(LeaveGround's edge-timing recompute, AP-77's no-sink fallback), the
uphill-bounce orthogonality proof, and final test totals.

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
differential; pseudocode doc §6 carries the decode plus a do-not-
reimport-ACE warning. Complete Release suite: 10,025 passed / 5 skips.

Root-caused via segment mining + a real-trajectory replay harness
(previous commit). Mined two dramatic real "velocity annihilation +
permanent freeze" events from the live capture (a high-speed fall landing
on a moderate, walkable-by-threshold roof slope, then a full velocity
zero + frozen position for the rest of the capture - 12,292 ticks for the
worse of the two).
A/B verdict: S1 (db2889af, #116 shape-1's Path-6 hasSphere1 change) is
provably UNREACHED for the mined trajectory - hit1 never fires once across
the 80-tick replay, and diagnostic instrumentation shows the landing
actually goes through the still-unchanged sphere0 (foot) branch. Reverting
S1 locally produced byte-identical replay output, confirming this
mechanically rather than by inference. S2 (calc_friction's AP-7 threshold)
has zero production call sites (grep-confirmed) - it is dead code and
cannot affect any live behavior in either direction.
The real mechanism, hand-traced against both mined events exactly: the R6
"grounded movement is animation-root-motion-owned" architecture
(PlayerMovementController.cs:1868-1882, landed 2026-07-20 via f961d700,
ten days before Campaign P) unconditionally zeros horizontal Velocity
every tick once OnWalkable is true. With no held movement key at the
instant of landing, the mover never advances again - a frozen-phase design
predating Campaign P entirely, not a regression from S1/S2.
Recommended direction: do not revert S1 (a real, narrow, retail-faithful
fix unrelated to these two events); do not touch S2 until it's actually
wired into a live path; the real target is #166 (downhill sled) plus the
grounded-movement architecture, which needs a brainstorming pass before
any implementation, not a quick S1/S2 revert.

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.

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).
Campaign P Slice P3 item 4. Per the plan's explicit instruction, this
is diagnose-only: the research's candidate (a)/(b) mechanisms did not
confirm, so no fix lands here.
Built the dat-free/dat-backed fixtures the plan asked for (no live
client) to test the two mechanisms a physics fixture CAN discriminate:
- (b) ruled out by code reading: RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick's
resolve gate reads RuntimeEntityRecord.FullCellId live. Every
FullCellId = 0 write site (TryApplyPickup, CommitAcceptedParentCellless,
CommitWithdrawal in RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime.cs) is a pickup/
parent-attach/delete path, never reachable for a live, freely moving
remote mid-session. The "one-frame grace" is genuinely first-spawn-only.
- (a) tested directly and does not reproduce, on two independent
geometries: InterpolationManager's unclamped stall-fail "tail delta"
snap (node_fail_counter > 3) can hand ResolveWithTransition an
arbitrarily large single-tick targetPos. New fixture tests replace a
proven small-step sweep (many 0.08-0.10 m ticks) with ONE resolve call
spanning the entire distance, against both a synthetic creature sphere
and the real Holtburg door BSP slab (Setup 0x020019FF/GfxObj
0x010044B5, the existing door-apparatus dat fixture) already used by
DoorCollisionApparatusTests. Both stop at the identical surface
distance the small-step tests pin, with a valid collision normal --
the sweep is not distance-limited and does not tunnel on a large
single-tick delta.
Candidate (c) -- render/interpolation presentation lag on the App side --
is the remaining hypothesis and is out of scope for a physics-fixture
pass (it's a claim about what gets drawn relative to the committed
PhysicsBody.Position, not something a Core fixture observes). #165
stays OPEN with (a)/(b) struck from the candidate list by the evidence
above and (c) named as the next concrete step (an App-layer render-vs-
physics-position diff, or a fresh live ACDREAM_PROBE_RESOLVE capture).
New tests: Issue165RemoteWallPenetrationDiagnosticTests (dat-free,
3 tests) and DoorCollisionApparatusTests.
Apparatus_SingleLargeTickJump_DeadCenter_StillBlocksOnBSP (dat-backed,
1 test, skips gracefully without the local dat directory).
dotnet build + dotnet test (Core.Tests 4012/2 skip, Runtime.Tests
425/0) green.
