Flips the last remote classification (SetPosition: teleport-advanced and
cell-less) onto 4b-1's RuntimeRemotePlacementDriveController, runs retail's
teleport_hook before the placement, and deletes the legacy remote-teleport
machinery. Contract: docs/research/2026-08-04-c4-route-4b-3-contract.md.
Retail: MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330's branch @0x00516386 -> teleport_hook
@0x005163EF -> SetFlags(0x1012) @0x00516414 -> SetPosition @0x00516420 ->
return 1 @0x00516438. The hook @0x00514ED0 runs BEFORE the placement and
regardless of its outcome. Retail places this branch unconditionally, at any
distance and any contact state (arg4 is read only @0x0051638E, after the
branch) — which is what retires AP-137's cell-less enqueue-vs-place delta.
D1 — the classifier's cell-less input is now the PRE-merge committed cell.
Retail's predicate is `this_1->cell == 0`, the BODY's own cell at
MoveOrTeleport entry (this_1 is assigned from this @0x00516334). acdream fed
the POST-merge canonical.FullCellId, which RefreshSnapshot ->
RefreshDerivedState -> SetFullCell has already stamped with the accepted wire
cell; a zero wire cell fails validation into RejectedData first. The shipped
remote cell-less predicate was therefore dead code, not merely different from
remotePlacementRequired. Threaded via a builder overload; route 1's overload
is untouched. The graphical !IsSpatiallyVisible arm of
projectionRequiresTeleportHook is deleted — a presentation predicate with no
retail analogue that fired the teleport machinery on a routine hot path.
Deleted: RemoteTeleportController (605), RemoteTeleportPlacement (85),
RemoteShadowPlacementSynchronizer (49), their 1,709 lines of tests, the
remotePlacementRequired predicate, the TeleportHookRequired plumbing, the
legacy pre-operation ConstrainTo fallback, and the player arm's legacy
!IsGrounded fallback. Net -2,030 lines.
Structural fix (two independent Opus reviews, round 1 FAIL/FAIL): three of the
four MAJORs were one defect — OnPosition carried two parallel inline copies of
the routing tail (player-guid, NPC-guid) that had drifted. Extracted
RunRemoteArmTail (3 call sites) and ApplyWireAirborneLeftoverBookkeeping (2),
both branches now share one implementation.
A1 ToConstraintArm mapped AirborneSnap -> AirborneNoOperation, so the NPC
arm armed ConstrainTo ZERO times for an out-of-contact wire-grounded
creature — a regression this slice introduced while closing a
structurally identical hole. Now maps to NearInterpolate; switch made
total with a throwing default proven unreachable.
R1 D2's write-nothing shape existed on the player arm only; NPC packets
fell through and wrote the body. Retail makes no player/NPC distinction.
R2 report_collision_end(this,1) @0x00514F31 was bound to
ShadowObjects.Suspend, a port of a DIFFERENT retail function
(remove_shadows_from_cells) that teleport_hook never calls. Now routes
to RuntimeCollisionReportingState.LeaveWorld, which wraps the private
ForceEnd in an admission-blocking transaction so a DoCollisionEnd
callback cannot recreate the contact table.
R3/A2 A teleported NPC synthesized ServerVelocity from the teleport distance
(~1,000+ m/s) and planned a run cycle from it. Both the install and
RemoteServerControlledVelocityCycle.Apply now gate on !isTeleportRoute.
BISECT HAZARD — A1's fix is correct only BECAUSE R1 landed. AirborneSnap is
reachable wire-airborne on the NPC arm only while D2's shape is missing there.
Reverting R1 alone silently inverts A1 into the opposite divergence: arming
where retail returns 0. Revert both or neither.
Also in the velocity hunk: the NPC block's two !IsPlayerGuid(update.Guid)
guards were dropped when it was wrapped in `if (!isTeleportRoute)`. Safe — all
five exit paths of the enclosing IsPlayerGuid block return, so the predicate is
unconditionally false below it — but it was unremarked by both reviews.
Register: AP-137 REWRITTEN (not deleted) to the surviving acdream-only
divergences — null classification during the login window and Rejected*
through UnroutedCatchUp keep a row. AD-42's RemoteTeleportController citation
retired; AP-136/AP-138 writer lists corrected to the two surviving non-Position
rebucket writers; AP-138 gains the teleport arm as a second producer of the
visible-without-collision residual (retirement path remains #309). AP-135 is
untouched and its two airborne bookkeeping writes are preserved on both arms.
AP-131 does not retire; #276 does not close.
Proof obligation 1: ParkCollisionResidents' overlap throw stays unreachable —
the teleport arm adds packets to the same TryBeginExclusiveAuthoredPlacement
one-operation-per-key machinery the far arm uses, opens no new operation shape,
and every DeferredCell outcome cancels synchronously with
restoreCancelledPark: true. The guarded property remains
HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt's stall, not a throw (4b-1's B2 caveat stands).
Correction to an earlier claim: LiveEntityPresentationController's
_activePlacementOwners was NOT write-never at HEAD —
remotePlacementRequired -> BeginPlacement -> Begin -> BeginAuthoritativePlacement
was a live writer chain. It becomes write-never BECAUSE this slice deletes that
chain, which is why deleting the dead half is behaviour-preserving.
Probe: ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_TELEPORT=1 emits one [remote-teleport] line per
routed arm (guid, cause, hook-ran, placement status). TEMPORARY, strip with the
probe family.
Carried, disclosed not fixed: no dedicated bidirectional collision-partner test
for R2 (the wiring, not LeaveWorld itself, is what lacks coverage); the
stress test's teleport step drives hand-written field assignments rather than
the canonical arm; the per-packet runTeleportHook closure allocation (network
path, not the resolve path Slice I's 0 B discipline governs — file before
route 5 adds a fourth call site). B2: IRuntimeCollisionReportObserver has zero
production implementations, so retail's bidirectional DoCollisionEnd half still
reaches no gameplay consumer — this fix closes the wrong-function binding, not
that nobody listens.
Complete Release suite MEASURED at 11,013 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(baseline 11,027/4/0; net -14 = ~33 deleted test cases against ~19 added).
Neither known flake fired (#302 PortalProjectionTests GC-allocation, #308
NakEmissionTests wall-clock).
STILL OWED: the two-client connected gate, which MUST use an NPC/creature
teleport target. Both round-1 MAJORs lived on the NPC arm and the velocity
cycle early-returns for 0x50xxxxxx guids, so a player target structurally
cannot observe A1, A2, or R3.

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
gate PASS (logs/connected-world-gate-20260802-175401; graceful exits,
world-visible, zero airborne rejections). The nine-stop soak remains red
for the pre-existing 6b28ff99 whole-world collision-clone throughput
regression (attributed with evidence; scheduled as its own slice before
C5). Dual Opus reviews (retail-conformance + adversarial): delta PASS.

Cutover slice C3a: the resumable transaction that dissolves the C3
flip's circularity finding. RuntimeLocalPlayerFirstEntryState drives the
local player's complete entry in retail's own order — authored-mover
preparation (the makeObject/set_description shape analog, via a pure
no-submit extraction TryPrepareAuthoredMover), the publication chain's
off-canonical Prepare + atomic body Commit against the residence's exact
placement token, the Evaluate/CommitActivation enter-world analog, the
Place-receipt acknowledgement as that act's virtualized completion, and
only then the executor's FIFO drain (retail: enter_world at 93824
strictly precedes ProcessObjectNetBlobs at 93831). Five stages, eight
typed statuses, exactly-once per stage under retry, no second token
copies, and an acknowledge-stage discriminator that separates
not-yet-FIFO-head (retryable) from authority-moved (typed abandonment) —
a mid-flight delete can no longer strand a retry-forever entry.
The residence retirement notification becomes an ordered multicast
(snapshot-iterated per the event-stream precedent), the lifetime
constructs the conductor with a late-bind Publication seam (transactional
unbound failure — no mutation before the throw), deletion/reset converge
the conductor automatically through the same choke points as the
executor, and its active count is in the ownership snapshot and
IsConverged. Dormant: no production Advance caller; GameRuntime binding
is C3c's first act.
Reviewed: retail-conformance PASS (the stage order verified
step-for-step against retail's entry sequence; the live-controller-on-
abandonment invariant proven structurally enforced and retail-correct —
retail has no entry-flow rollback) + architecture/adversarial PASS after
one fix round (acknowledge-stage authority discrimination; the wiring
fold; two prescribed pre-C3c hardenings). Runtime 948/948; complete
Release solution green across all nine projects.
