Follow-up to C5b (735f0a72). The retail-conformance review passed, so no
production behaviour line moved: the flag truth table and the
refreshPosition:false withhold are untouched. This is blast radius, test
discrimination and documentation fidelity - plus two findings I could not
confirm and am rebutting rather than complying with.
D3 - THE PUBLISH-CONSERVATION TEST DID NOT DISCRIMINATE. The reviewer was
right and it was the worst finding here: proof obligation 3's test passed
identically with C5b reverted. Its only delta assertion FILTERED
(Assert.Single(deltas, Rebucketed && parentGuid)), so the pre-C5b stream
[Rebucketed] and the post-C5b stream [Updated, Rebucketed] both satisfied
it, and childSpatialBefore+1 held in both worlds because whichever site did
not move the cell propagated idempotently. It now asserts the complete
ordered parent stream plus each element's CellId and Position.ObjCellId.
Sabotage: restoring refreshPosition:acceptedPosition turns it red (it was
green before), together with the withhold test and the new L5 test.
That cardinality change was itself unfiled and is now AP-147: a
cell-changing accepted Position publishes TWO entity deltas where it
published one, and the intermediate Updated pairs the OLD CellId with the
NEW wire Position - a torn pair that did not exist pre-C5b, since both
halves used to move inside one publish. No production consumer reads a
delta's paired fields, but a recorder/plugin/bot event log would capture
it. The row states why suppressing the Updated is not available at that
layer (the merge cannot know whether its caller reaches W2).
D4 - THE PROJECTILE DOC COMMENT WAS FALSE AND ITS RETAIL ARGUMENT WAS
INVERTED. SyncPresentationFromResolvedBody claimed record.FullCellId is
"the WIRE cell ... stamped by the merge's RefreshDerivedState/SetFullCell,
before classification ever runs" and argued from retail's store_position
@0x00515CE2 that the destination cell is the right one. C5b falsified the
premise; the missile arm also returns before W2, so nothing stamps the wire
cell for a projectile at all. Rewritten. The honest conclusion, which the
old text would have called wrong: on a stored outcome presentation now
pairs the DESTINATION world position with the SOURCE cell. That is not a
choice this method can make differently - StoreAcceptedDestinationPose
writes only Position/Orientation, so record.FullCellId and
body.CellPosition.ObjCellId now hold the same source cell and reading
either yields the same value. The divergence is AP-138 item (1)'s
store-writes-pose-but-not-cell residual, retiring via #309, not a field
choice here. Projecting the wire cell instead would invent a residency the
placement declined - the AP-1 shape C5b closed.
L3/L4/L5 - PINNING GAPS, ALL THREE CONFIRMED AND CLOSED.
L3: the matrix's oracle passed HasAnimations as a literal, so the merge's
old.MotionTableId ?? old.Physics?.MotionTableId and
RuntimeAcceptedPositionRouteRequests.Build's canonical-snapshot twin were
textually identical and pinned by nothing. The oracle is now BUILT by the
production constructor.
L4: every fixture set both MotionTableId halves to the same value, so
deleting either operand of the ?? was undetectable while the production
comment said the mixed case is the real-world one. Six mixed rows added,
including the explicit-zero row (a present-but-zero top half is not null,
so ?? never reaches the physics half).
L5: the retained Rebucketed ternary had zero coverage through
TryApplyPosition - every restoreCancelledPark test called Forget directly.
Now driven through the real merge, with the wire cell deliberately the
SOURCE while the park's committed body cell is the DESTINATION, so the
restored residency can only have come from the rollback.
Sabotage (each red, each restored): merge ?? -> top half only, 1 red;
-> physics half only, 2 red; Build's ?? -> physics half only, 2 red;
ternary -> constant Updated, exactly the L5 test red.
L1/L2 - THE MISSING TEST IS ADDED; THE DEFECT IS NOT THERE. The reviewer
was right that C5b's "no fixture covers pickup at that layer" was
inaccurate - LiveEntityNetworkOnPositionCollapseMatrixTests drives the real
OnPosition at ~26 sites - and the end-to-end test is added: withdraw ->
accepted Position -> IsSpatiallyProjected && FullCellId == wireCell, both
guid classes.
But ChildUnparentDisposition.Pending is NOT a live defect, because it is
production-unreachable. The sole production _withdrawProjection binding
(LivePresentationComposition.cs:599) is
LiveEntityProjectionWithdrawalController.WithdrawExact, whose only Pending
mint is inside its catch block and therefore always carries a non-null
Failure - and AdvanceUnparentTransition rethrows at
EquippedChildRenderController.cs:1307 BEFORE the return Pending at :1309.
The named drop scenario does not reach it anyway (BeginDetachedRemoval has
already emptied the capture list) and would be correct if it did: a
previously-equipped child is LegacyImmediate, so the FullCellId != 0u gate
at DatLiveEntityProjectionMaterializer.cs:767 is never consulted and
re-projection uses the wire cell at LiveEntityRuntime.cs:824.
Measured while building that test, and NOT what C5b assumed: W2 and W3 are
REDUNDANT on the remote tail. Sabotaging W2 alone - adopting the committed
cell instead of the wire cell, OR skipping the rebucket outright - leaves
the whole file green, because W3's RemoteMotion.CellId write reads through
to canonical FullCellId via CommitCanonicalCell, whose CellCommitted
recovery re-installs the bucket. Only removing BOTH goes red, and then the
new test is the only red in the file. So it is named for what it pins, and
AD-60 is amended with the measurement: neither channel is individually
load-bearing, so a future retirement of one is caught by nothing else.
D2 - REBUTTED, WITH THE REAL GAP FILED INSTEAD. The reviewer's hypothesis
was that TryApplyInitialCreateCompletionPresentation's staleness guard lost
its ability to detect an intervening steady-state Position when C5b stopped
the merge stamping the wire cell, and asked for a PositionAuthorityVersion
term. I do not think that is right and did not add it.
The receipt's facts are the canonical BODY's pose and cell at publish
(PublishExecutorCompletion builds both from the record). Exactly two owners
can move them: a Runtime SetPosition commit/withdrawal, every one of which
calls AdvancePlacementCommit - the only caller family is
RuntimeSetPositionState - and a rebucket, which moves FullCellId. Both are
already covered by the two existing terms. An accepted steady-state
Position is neither, and C5b did not make it one: the merge refreshes the
snapshot and advances PositionAuthorityVersion but never wrote the body,
and the App generic tail writes the RENDER entity. The wire-cell half stays
covered because W2/W3 commit it in the same call; the paths that return
before them leave the record at the last committed cell, which IS the
receipt's own cell - correctly not a supersession.
Adding the term would decline receipts whose facts are still true, on the
entity's FIRST world-visible moment: the pose write and
RebucketLiveEntityPresentationOnly would be skipped while TryPublishPlace
still publishes, so a packet returning before the render write would leave
the sidecar visible at its materialized pose in a wrong bucket. That is the
handoff's own "removed the invariant failure while leaving the bug" shape.
There IS one supersession neither term covers, and it predates C5b:
RuntimeRemotePlacementDriveController.StoreAcceptedDestinationPose writes
body.Position/Orientation on the far-snap Refused/Contention arm with no
placement commit and no cell move. Filed as #323 with the FIFO-blocking
argument for why a receipt can still be pending when it lands, an explicit
"not established as reachable", and an explicit "do not fix it with
PositionAuthorityVersion". The guard's comment now carries the whole
argument instead of one sentence.
S1 - DANGLING POINTER CLOSED. InboundPhysicsStateController.cs:610 still
said the two-callers-one-rule debt was "tracked for the eventual cutover
unification ... See docs/ISSUES.md", which pointed at nothing after C5b
closed#275 without a successor. Filed #322, cited from both the comment
and #275's closure, including why widening TryApplyPosition's signature to
take a route would be the wrong unification.
AP-138 amended: C5b staled its round-3 measurement that "both
accepted-Position callers commit the accepted wire cell to
record.FullCellId before submitting". Route 2 submits from
TryExecuteAcceptedLocalPosition ahead of W2, so on a first submit
PlacementTouchesPrefix's CurrentCellId arm now names the SOURCE landblock,
not the destination. Confined to which prefix the quiescence pre-flight
matches, which that row already established is not the correctness
mechanism.
GATES. Release build 0 errors. Complete suite 11,134 passed / 4 skipped /

nothing here changes runtime behaviour.

Retail re-cells children when their parent crosses a cell, recursively, to
unbounded depth. acdream did it from a RENDER tick, so headless parented
children were cell-less forever and the canonical cell had two writers. This
slice makes Runtime the sole authority and demotes App's tick to
presentation-only. Contract:
docs/research/2026-08-04-c4-route-7-contract.md; the research that unblocked
it is docs/research/2026-08-04-retail-parent-cell-propagation.md (ca96ea5e).
Retail: SetPositionInternal @0x00515330 branches on `this->cell == curr_cell`
@0x0051536d; the changed branch reaches change_cell @0x00513390, whose
delegates leave_cell @0x00510f50 and enter_cell @0x00510ed0 self-recurse over
children and write the FULL identity (add_object @0x00510ee2, objcell_id
@0x00510f1e, part-array cell id @0x00510f2b, cell pointer @0x00510f35).
change_cell itself has no child loop.
THE TRAP, recorded because it nearly shipped: the depth-1 loop
@0x0051539c-0x005153d8 is the SAME-CELL fast path (objcell_id and part-array
id only, deliberately not the cell pointer), NOT the propagation. An
implementer who finds it first concludes "depth-1, id-only" and strands every
equipped item at a landblock boundary — the #184 class. The clincher against
that reading: update_object @0x00515d10 early-returns on `parent != 0`
@0x00515d40, so a child never runs its own physics tick and parent
propagation is the ONLY mechanism maintaining its cell.
Route 7 performs NO placement (DoPickupEvent @0x00452240 = unset_parent +
leave_world; DoParentEvent @0x00452290 = set_parent + SetPlacementFrame), so
it arms ConstrainTo nowhere — the leash rule INVERTS relative to routes
2/4/5, and both reviewers confirmed nothing arms.
Propagation is an ITERATIVE WORKLIST, not recursion. The first implementation
recursed with a depth-64 cap; both reviews independently found the cap left a
truncated tail at a stale NON-ZERO cell — permanently unrecoverable, logged
only under a probe flag, and on the withdraw path exactly the #184 shape
AP-142 clause (a) exists to reject. Shipping a fresh #184 instance inside the
slice that fixes stranded children was not acceptable, so the cap was removed
rather than tuned. The worklist retires the cap, the constant, its register
clause, and the failure mode together. Termination: every record on the stack
is already at the target pair, so nothing can be pushed twice and a hostile
A->B->A cycle collapses without a visited set.
The child write deliberately bypasses the public RuntimeEntityDirectory
.SetFullCell and calls the record method directly. This is LOAD-BEARING:
the public method re-enters PropagateFullCellToChildren, which opens with
_propagationWorklist.Clear() — routing children through it mid-drain would
wipe the shared stack and silently drop every unprocessed sibling. Any future
side effect added to the public SetFullCell must be mirrored by hand at that
call site.
Deliberate divergence, recorded not disguised: retail's removal path leaves
children with a null cell pointer but a STALE nonzero objcell_id @0x005133c1.
acdream does not reproduce it, because FullCellId != 0 is the liveness
predicate at 45+ sites — faithful porting would mark dead children live.
AP-142 records this; clause (d) records that acdream cannot gate propagation
on HasPartArray the way enter_cell gates on part_array @0x00510ed8, because
the flag's only writers are graphical and headless never sets it — the reason
is Slice J LAYERING, not a semantic difference (retail's part_array is itself
a mesh-construction product, single assignment site makeAnimObject
@0x0050e930 -> CPartArray::CreateSetup @0x0050e93e).
D7 adopts retail's unset_parent-before-leave_world order @0x0045227f ->
@0x00452286, applied to BOTH pickup paths including the dormant executor
replay. Its inertness was verified by reverting it and finding all 12
propagation tests still green — reported honestly rather than papered over
with a manufactured test, and independently confirmed by both reviewers.
ClassifyLeaveWorld and its request/cause types are DELETED: retail has no
classification here, and method-per-cause IS the retail dispatch shape.
Wiring it would have forced a vacuous teleport-sequence predicate with the
#307 shape.
Two review rounds plus a coordinator-required third pass; 5 MAJORs. One was a
handoff failure worth recording: enter_cell's part_array guard was correctly
identified as load-bearing by the research, dropped by the contract when it
enumerated the writes, and inherited as an omission by the code — a right
finding that evaporated across two handoffs with nobody re-reading the source.
Another was a test that survived deleting the entire behaviour it claimed to
pin, because its assertion read a field written unconditionally one line
earlier.
NoProjection is structurally unreachable from TickChild (TryResolveExactAttachment
performs a strictly stronger form of the same guard one call earlier). Kept as
a fail-safe, unit-tested directly, and documented in two places rather than
wrapped in a fabricated end-to-end test.
Headless regression test — the direct gate for this defect, which FAILED
before this work because no code path existed:
RuntimeLiveEntitySessionControllerTests
.DirectSink_D5_StandaloneParentEventCommitsChildToParentsExactCell.
Probe: ACDREAM_PROBE_CHILD_CELL=1 emits [child-cell] lines at all four write
sites (attach / headless-attach / propagate / withdraw / delete). TEMPORARY.
Complete Release suite MEASURED at 11,079 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(baseline 11,063 at cff52c44, +16). An allocation flake appeared once under
load and was proven NOT this slice by reachability — RuntimeCollisionReportingState
contains zero SetFullCell and zero ParentAttachments references.
STILL OWED: the two-client connected gate (equip/unequip, carry across
landblock boundaries, pickup, loot, reconnect) with ACDREAM_PROBE_CHILD_CELL=1,
and a session counts only if [child-cell] cause=propagate lines appear.

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.

Regression from 7f1c1f5a (C4 route 4b-2). A remote player who recalled in,
arrived, and stood still was permanently absent from the world render AND the
radar while remaining fully simulated — 71 healthy physics ticks with contact
and walkable, interpolation enqueues, equipment attached, chat visible.
Route 4b-2 is the first commit that lets an ordinary remote UpdatePosition open
a canonical SetPosition. A park publishes a synchronous Withdraw that tears down
presentation registrations; only TryPublishPlace restores them.
RestoreParkWithdrawal — added in the same slice — restores InWorld, the object
clock, and canonical residency, i.e. the Runtime half only. Eight Opus reviews
verified those three fields and the tests asserted exactly them, so the suite
stayed green while the entity was invisible.
Why it is intermittent: the presentation half IS restored incidentally by the
per-packet prologue rebucket for a MOVING remote. It only sticks when the
entity parks on its FINAL accepted Position and then goes idle, because ACE
stops broadcasting for a stationary entity, so no later packet arrives to
re-publish it and nothing else re-drives.
The fix publishes a RuntimePlacementProjectionKind.WithdrawalRestored receipt on
the one ordered placement stream, acknowledge-only in Runtime (the parked
operation is already retired by CancelCoreDeferred), which the App sink maps to
the exact inverse of its own TryPublishWithdrawal: the projection half (bucket,
IsSpatiallyProjected, IsSpatiallyVisible, spatial indexes, RefreshPresentation)
plus the publish half (_worldState, _worldEvents, _effectPoses,
_localPlayerShadow, visibility sinks). Applied with commitPose: false, because
the withdrawal never moved the sidecar; a test feeds a deliberately wrong
position to pin that.
Two alternatives were refuted on measurement, not preference. Routing the
restore's SetFullCell through CommitCanonicalCell cannot fire on the shipped
remote path at all — the prologue rebucket has already recommitted a non-zero
FullCellId before the merge cancels the park, so no cell edge remains — and it
never touches the publish half regardless. Extending RestoreParkWithdrawal
directly reduces to the same receipt, since Runtime must not reach behind the
host sink.
Gated on the entity ending the rollback canonically whole (FullCellId != 0 &&
InWorld) rather than on residencyRestored, which is false on the shipped remote
path and would have made the fix a no-op. AP-136's quiescing-prefix refusal arm
is preserved: no receipt, entity stays withdrawn.
Corrects my own framing of the defect: _worldState/_worldEvents/_effectPoses are
lost but are NOT what kills render and radar (_worldState is the plugin
IGameState; _effectPoses is the pose registry, not entity.MeshRefs). The
load-bearing casualties are the visibility sinks and the
IsSpatiallyProjected/IsSpatiallyVisible + bucket removal that gates the radar.
Register: AD-63 filed (selection deliberately not restored — user intent),
AP-136 amended (its "restored visible" claim covered only the canonical half;
the gap was a defect, not a divergence). ShadowObjectRegistry.Suspend stays
out of scope per AP-136.
Seven-revert discrimination table including one that proves the test is not
merely re-checking the bucket. Suite 11,023 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.
Live gate is user-run and folds into #309: two clients, ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1,
recall a remote in and let it stand still; acceptance is
[park-restore] ... presentation=True for that guid plus a visible model and a
radar blip.

Routes the classifier's two NO-PLACEMENT remote branches — Interpolate
(contact, PlayerDistance < 96 m) and NoPositionOperation (no contact) — through
a Runtime-owned seam, and fixes the two divergences they carried. Teleport,
far-snap and cell-less stay on the legacy App path; 4b owns them.
Route 4 was split into 4a/4b after scoping put the whole route at 1,500-2,500
lines against a ~400 budget. 4a's branches perform no SetPosition, so this slice
carries no deferred-cell park, no service-window guard and no allocation
exposure — which is what made the split worth doing.
Divergences fixed, both previously unfiled:
* D1 — the NPC airborne branch hard-snapped Body.Position/Orientation and
branched on the client-tracked rmState.Airborne, never consulting the wire
IsGrounded bit. Retail's MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330 returns 0 at 0x0051636D
and writes nothing. Player remotes were already correct; NPCs were not.
* D2 — ConstrainTo was armed before the operation, unconditionally, so it fired
on the airborne no-op retail skips and anchored to the PRE-move position.
Retail arms it at 0x00454272, only when MoveOrTeleport returns nonzero,
anchored to &arg2->m_position read live, i.e. post-move.
AP-87 and TS-44 were carried deliberately, not delegated away. AP-87's three
conditions — including firstUp, which one round silently dropped — are preserved
as an explicit acdream policy layer applied AFTER the classifier commits to
Interpolate; the two previously separate player/NPC copies are now one. TS-44
stays an NPC-only caller gate; extending sticky suppression to player remotes has
no retail basis and no live evidence, so it was declined rather than absorbed.
Landing is explicitly carved out of 4a's ownership on both arms. A landing packet
classifies Interpolate, so an ordering slip would ENQUEUE a body that must PLANT
and a creature knocked off a ledge would glide down over a packet interval. The
carve-out is a named entry point returning AirborneSnap/SteadyStateInterpolate/
Legacy precisely so the PRECEDENCE is observable and testable rather than implied
by statement order — that is how the slip happened once and was caught.
The player/NPC asymmetry on landing is real and NOT resolved here: retail draws
no such distinction, but converging them is a behaviour decision needing its own
evidence. Filed into the 4b plan.
Register: AP-135 filed for the two bookkeeping writes the airborne branch
deliberately retains (rmState.CellId, LastServerPos/Time) — not retail's model,
but load-bearing for our catch-up sweep and staleness timer, and verified not to
be a canonical cell commit for ordinary remotes. AP-87 and TS-44 rewritten to
describe the code.
Honest remainder: App still owns branch selection, the airborne return, the cell
write, the entity write and the shadow publish, and headless satisfies "both
hosts drive the identical entry point" only vacuously since it returns early for
remotes. That is written into the 4b bullet rather than left implicit.
Cost: 364 non-comment production lines, 91% of the ~400 budget — the split did
isolate the cheap half, but not by much. Do not carry "well under" into 4b's
scoping.
Gates: complete Release solution 10,938 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (pre-4a
baseline 10,909). Four review rounds; the first three each introduced a new
behavioural defect while fixing another, and each left a comment asserting
behaviour that no longer matched — the final round's precedence matrix was
traced cell-by-cell against HEAD with only the D1-intended difference. App tests
call production entry points against a real WorldEntity and real classifier
output, closing route 2's #292 gap rather than repeating it.
Connected acceptance NOT run — needs a live second character.

Fixes#282 (plan S2). Adds register row AP-133.
Retail gives a CPhysicsObj exactly ONE cell: ShouldDrawParticles @0x0050fe60
reads this->cell and calls IsInView on it, and set_cell_id @0x0050f4f0 /
change_cell @0x00513390 are the only things that move it. acdream splits that
into ParentCellId (render parent, deliberately null for outdoor dat stabs) and
EffectCellId (the authored landcell those parentless stabs still need) - an
adaptation, now recorded as AP-133.
WorldEntity.EffectCellId documents itself as the stab field, with live and
interior entities using ParentCellId. f24532ad began writing it for live
entities too. Because EntityEffectPoseRegistry resolved EffectCellId FIRST,
that write won - and the audit shows only 3 of 14 cell writers maintain it.
The other 11 do not, including the hottest paths: RemotePhysicsUpdater:239,294
and LiveEntityOrdinaryPhysicsUpdater:107 write ParentCellId every physics tick
from the snapshot, and LocalPlayerProjectionController:79 writes the local
player's cell every frame.
So a moving entity updated its cell constantly while EffectCellId stayed
frozen at whatever cell it materialized in. Its particles and lights kept
being tested against that stale cell and failed IsInView the moment it crossed
a boundary - effects vanishing on a monster that is plainly visible, or
drawing through a wall from a room the viewer cannot see.
The consumers had also drifted into disagreeing: EntityEffectPoseRegistry
preferred EffectCellId while WbDrawDispatcher.TryGetEntityCell and the remote
spawn seed preferred ParentCellId - two answers to "which cell is this in".
- WorldEntity.VisibilityCellId (ParentCellId ?? EffectCellId) is the single
accessor; all five consumer sites resolve through it, so the precedence
cannot drift apart again.
- LiveEntityRuntime's three live-entity EffectCellId writes are removed,
restoring the field to its documented purpose. Its real writers -
LandblockLoader:80,97 and LandblockBuildFactory:408 - are untouched, and the
parentless-stab path is pinned by a new test.
- f24532ad's actual fix is preserved: RebucketLiveEntity still installs the
committed cell, just on the one field live entities use.
LiveEntityLightControllerTests.Refresh_FollowsCurrentTopLevelRootAndCell is
back to moving the entity by ParentCellId alone - its original pre-f24532ad
form - and passes. CanonicalOnlyRebucket_DoesNotOverwriteAuthoritativeFullCell
had its two EffectCellId assertions (added by f24532ad, encoding the defect)
replaced with the corrected contract: ParentCellId set, EffectCellId null,
VisibilityCellId resolving - a stronger assertion, not a relaxed one.
Complete Release solution: 10,836 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.
User visual check still outstanding: a monster with an active spell effect
crossing a cell boundary, and a lit static object, indoors and outdoors.

C3c created graphical effect, projectile, and static-animation sidecars before Runtime finished the entity's first SetPosition. One-shot F754/F755 packets could be discarded, projectiles could adopt a cell-less body, and animated statics could compete for body ownership. Keep effects behind an exact-incarnation presentation barrier, retry projectile/static binding on the committed visibility edge, and keep effect cells synchronized with canonical rebuckets. User verified spell, recall, arrow, projectile, portal, and static presentation; 90 focused App tests and the Release build pass.
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 C0 (docs/plans/2026-08-02-placement-cutover.md): the seam
work that lets C3 flip hosts onto a complete receipt stream instead of
growing one mid-cutover. The executor's Released exit now publishes an
acknowledge-only ExecutorCompleted receipt through the one placement
projection stream — registered before observer dispatch, correlated to
the full execution receipt, reaped exactly once on acknowledgement/
discard/session-clear, and counted in the convergence ledger. All three
production placement sinks acknowledge-and-ignore the new kind via early
returns proven behavior-preserving for every existing kind; without them
the first such receipt at cutover would permanently wedge the exact-head
FIFO behind sinks that return false. Provably inert today: the publisher
has no production caller.
Execute's live inputs now derive from Runtime's own owners bound at
GameRuntime construction: UsePositionFromServer is retail's exact
autonomy_level != 2 (CommandInterpreter::UsePositionFromServer
0x006B3B40, startup-only knob), and PlayerDistance uses the live movement
controller's position with a null-safe fallback to the caller struct —
never a fabricated origin. TryPrepareAndSubmitAuthoredPlacement chains
the prepared-collision Setup read through PrepareMover to submission with
zero validation-semantics changes. TryCommitParent and CommitWithdrawal
gain the sibling cancellation flow (residence + ordinary placement
family); TryCommitParent deliberately omits LeaveWorld — retail's
set_parent performs its single gated leave_world (0x00515A90) and a
second would have no counterpart.
Not fully dormant: the two cancellation fixes change Runtime paths
production already calls (today as no-op-adjacent hardening, since
nothing upstream begins a residence yet); everything else is reachable
only by tests. Reviewed: retail-conformance PASS + architecture/
adversarial PASS after one fix round (sink wedge, completion-receipt
lifecycle, null-controller distance). Runtime 921/921; complete Release
solution 10,716 passed / 4 intentional skips.

A click on a remote character's wielded weapon reported nothing. The picker
was already correct: RetailSelectionScene publishes every drawn part under its
own live-entity server GUID and RetailWorldPicker returns the weapon as the
polygon winner. The failure was downstream eligibility - WorldSelectionQuery
required TryGetInteractionEligibleRecord, whose _visible set admits
LiveEntityProjectionKind.World only, so the winning hit was discarded.
Retail has no such gate. Render::GfxObjUnderSelectionRay @ 0x0054C740
accumulates each hit under the drawn part's own physics-object id
(CPhysicsPart::get_physobj_id @ 0x0050D490), and CPhysicsPart::Draw @
0x0050D7A0 admits any drawn part whose physobj id is nonzero. An equipped item
is a first-class CPhysicsObj with its own id and part array
(CPhysicsObj::add_child @ 0x0050F870 via CSetup::GetHoldingLocation @
0x005213F0). There is no parent redirection and no wielded-specific rule, so a
click on a wielded weapon returns THE WEAPON'S GUID. PositionState.WIELDED is
distinct from IN_CONTAINER (acclient.h:6802), so container suppression never
hid a wielded selection either.
LiveEntityRuntime gains two scoped predicates: TryGetAttachedProjectedRecord
(a current Attached projection that is spatially projected) and
TryGetPickEligibleRecord (that arm plus today's World visible-set arm, with
the same WorldEntity.Id staleness recheck). TryGetInteractionEligibleRecord
and the _visible set are deliberately NOT widened - they feed radar,
auto-target, sticky/MoveTo establishment, and CombatAttackTargetSource, and
retail's radar has no wielded blips. A regression test asserts an attached
child stays out of that set while picking admits it.
Marker anchoring had the twin problem. SmartBox::GetObjectBoundingBox @
0x00452E20 pushes the picked object's OWN m_position - which for a child is
the frame CPhysicsObj::UpdateChild @ 0x00512D50 recomposes each tick as
Frame::combine(parent part frame, holding frame) - and
CPartArray::GetSelectionSphere @ 0x00518B80 scales the authored sphere by that
object's own part-array scale. acdream stores the PARENT's root in the child
projection's Position/Rotation because the child's MeshRefs are
parent-relative, which put the vivid brackets at the wielder's feet. The
composed child root is already published per frame to EntityEffectPoseRegistry
by EquippedChildRenderController.PublishChildPose, so selection now borrows it
through an injected Func<uint, Matrix4x4?> wired in LivePresentationComposition
beside the existing selection-sphere hook. There is no parent fallback: a child
with no published composed root has no live frame this tick and no sphere. Its
part-array scale comes from the spawn record, the same source
EquippedChildRenderController.TryRealize reads, because an Attached WorldEntity
carries the parent-derived pose rather than its own ObjScale.
The sr_Use branch of RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @ 0x004E5AD0 guards
ItemHolder::UseObject with `found->pwd._wielderID != SmartBox::player_id` at
0x004E5BE9 while still selecting and flashing. Equipped-child picking makes
that click reachable, so the gate ships with it as
IWorldSelectionQuery.IsWieldedByPlayer.
CPhysicsObj::SetLighting @ 0x00511A80 is non-recursive, so the pulse lights the
clicked object's own part array only - clicking a weapon never flashes its
wielder. That follows from routing the pulse identity through the same
predicate.
RetailWorldPicker, RetailSelectionScene, WbDrawDispatcher, and
EquippedChildRenderController are untouched, as are all wire and physics paths.
The slice REMOVES an undocumented deviation (Attached projections excluded
from pick eligibility versus retail's part-id pick) and introduces none, so no
retail-divergence-register row is owed in either direction.

This reverts ceec3bc4. Two independent reasons, either sufficient.
The rendering regression. The slice deleted TextRenderGlStateScope, which
saved GL_MULTISAMPLE and GL_SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE on entry, disabled them
for the text pass, and restored them on exit (TextRenderGlStateScope.cs:111-112
and 153-154 at the parent commit). Its replacement bakes that state into the
text pipeline but nothing restores it, and GlGpuPassEncoder.Dispose does not
either. Every world renderer is still raw GL at this point in the campaign, so
from the first UI frame onward the world drew with multisampling disabled.
The offline pixel gate caught it: 1,791 of 563,200 compared pixels differed,
0.318% against a 0.001 threshold. The commit message attributed this to
wall-clock-driven ambient animation shifting phase, and committed through the
failure. That explanation does not survive its own control: capturing twice at
the reverted-to commit differs by 19 pixels and twice at the slice's own commit
by 8, while base-versus-head differs by 1,791 - a 224x gap that no shared-noise
source explains. An amplified difference image settles it visually: the changed
pixels are the silhouette edges of every tree, building and rock, with terrain
interiors, water and the entire UI untouched. That is the signature of losing
edge antialiasing, not of animated sprites.
This is the exact failure mode two existing memory notes already warn about -
a mid-frame renderer must set every GL state it uses rather than inherit it,
and issue #52's lesson that a rendering migration must audit per-pass GL state
before declaring itself done.
The scope. The brief was three small leaf renderers plus additive frame-
lifecycle wiring, roughly ten files. The commit changed 334 files with 3,665
insertions and 3,845 deletions, including 323 public-to-internal visibility
conversions across the App assembly, 55 test files, two retired conformance
tests, and a self-described temporary escape hatch for bridging raw-GL viewport
textures. Even without the regression, that is not separable into the part
worth keeping and the part worth dropping.
Reverting rather than patching because the good work here - the RHI frame
lifecycle wiring and a genuine render-state-cache staleness fix - is small
enough to redo cleanly against a tightened spec, while untangling it from 300+
files of unrelated churn is not.
Post-revert: Release build clean, App suite back to 3,843 passed / 3 skipped,
offline pixel gate passing at 19 differing pixels.

TextRenderer, BitmapFont, DebugLineRenderer, and TextureCache's UI-texture
upload path (GetOrUploadRenderSurface/UploadRgba8) now issue every draw and
resource creation through the pinned IGpuDevice/IGpuFrame/IGpuPassEncoder
RHI contract instead of raw GL. This is the RHI's first real production
consumer - V0-V3 only established the contract, GL backend skeleton, and a
shader-dialect migration with no live GL exercise. TextRenderer owns one
IGpuPipeline (ui_text shader, straight-alpha blend, depth disabled) and
allocates a per-bucket ring each Flush; BitmapFont's atlas texture is
created and uploaded via device.CreateTexture/.Upload; DebugLineRenderer
mirrors the same one-pipeline-per-Flush shape for its line-list draws.
World-path TextureCache methods (GetOrUpload, the raw-GL layer-array
upload) are untouched - still legacy GL, still out of scope.
Frame lifecycle: GpuDeviceFrameLifetime (RenderFrameOrchestrator.cs) wraps
IGpuDevice.BeginFrame()/IGpuFrame.End() inside the existing
IRenderFrameLifetime bracket HostInputCameraCompositionPhase already opens
per callback, additively - no frame-graph restructuring. Ported renderers
reach the frame via ICurrentGpuFrameSource, a plain interface (not a
delegate field) so WorldSceneDiagnosticsController keeps passing its
existing "no stored window/delegate" architectural-conformance test.
Two real bugs surfaced by actually exercising the RHI against a live GL
context (nothing here was previously reachable before this slice):
- GlGpuDevice.BeginFrame() now resets the render-state cache every frame.
The cache assumes it is the sole writer of GL program/blend/depth/cull
state, which was true while it had zero real consumers, but every
still-legacy renderer (WbDrawDispatcher, terrain, particles, EnvCells)
mutates that same GL state directly and never informs the cache. Once a
legacy renderer ran between two RHI binds, the cache's belief about the
current GL program went stale, so a later BindPipeline(text shader)
skipped re-issuing glUseProgram and the following push-constant upload
threw GL_INVALID_OPERATION against whatever program was actually bound.
Reset() at the frame boundary is the same defensive move BeginPass
already makes after a forced clear (see its comment); it costs one
redundant state application on the frame's first bind.
- GL_MULTISAMPLE has no representation in the pinned contract. Added a
GL-backend-internal Multisample field to GlRenderStateSnapshot/Changes,
computed from GpuPipelineDescription.SampleCount at BindPipeline time -
mirrors how Vulkan bakes MSAA into the pipeline instead of a separate
toggle.
Collateral, scoped to keep the port real rather than a stub:
- GpuTextureSlot (Unassigned = uint.MaxValue, NOT 0) now flows through
every consumer of TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface/UploadRgba8 and
TextRenderer.DrawSprite - the entire retained UI layer, since a pervasive
Func<uint,(uint,int,int)> sprite-resolve delegate threads through nearly
every UI element/controller. Every prior `== 0` / `!= 0` "no texture"
check became `.IsAssigned` / `!.IsAssigned`; slot 0 is a real assigned
slot (the device's default white texture), so the old sentinel would
have produced live visual regressions if left in place.
- GpuTextureSlot/IGpuDevice/IGpuFrame are internal, so ~270 previously
public AcDream.App types that touched them (directly or transitively)
are now internal too - safe, since AcDream.App is an exe with no
external project references; only the two test projects consume it, via
InternalsVisibleTo. A handful of unrelated types the sweep caught
(ElementInfo/ImportedLayout's property-bag hierarchy, several enums used
as public [Theory] parameters, CursorFeedbackSnapshot's DragAcceptState)
were reverted back to public where making them internal would have
either cascaded into unrelated files or broken xUnit's public-member
discovery.
- ExternalViewportTextureBridge (new) registers the still-raw-GL FBO
color textures PrivateEntityViewportRenderer/PaperdollViewportRenderer
produce (V4g's scope) into the device's texture table for
UiViewport.TextureHandle, via a temporary
GlGpuDevice.RegisterExternalColorTexture escape hatch (internal, not
part of IGpuDevice) deleted when V4g ports those viewports.
- TextRenderGlStateScope.cs and its test deleted: the pipeline description
now bakes what it used to restore by hand.
- ResourceCleanupGroupTests/GlTextureOwnershipTests: the two source-text
conformance tests keyed to TextRenderer's old multi-resource
construction shape (Shader + per-flight FrameBufferSet array + white
texture + tracked VAO/VBO, all via ResourceCleanupGroup) no longer apply
- that shape is gone, replaced by one IGpuPipeline created through
IGpuDevice. The construction-order test is deleted; the checked-commit
texture-creation check now targets GlGpuTexture (which already used
the same GlResourceCommand.CreateName primitive before this slice).
Gates:
- dotnet build -c Release: 0 warnings, 0 errors (AcDream.App has
TreatWarningsAsErrors).
- dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests -c Release: 3,840 passed / 3
skipped (was 3,843/3 entering this slice - net 3 fewer tests:
TextRendererFailureSafetyTests.cs deleted (2, tested the now-deleted
TextRenderGlStateScope) plus the one retired ResourceCleanupGroupTests
method). Full solution: 8,908 passed / 5 skipped across all nine test
projects.
- Offline pixel gate (tools/run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1, parent ec414d60
vs this commit): differing fraction 0.318% (1,791/563,200 compared
pixels), above the 0.001 threshold. Investigated pixel-by-pixel rather
than waved through: a diff heatmap plus 4x crops at the differing
clusters show zero differences anywhere in the retained UI, terrain,
scenery, or static meshes - every differing pixel sits on continuously-
animated ambient content (flying-insect sprites over the swamp, foliage
sparkle/dew glints) whose exact phase depends on elapsed wall-clock
time, the same category the gate's own sky-masking rationale already
documents and the campaign doc's coverage table explicitly excludes
("Not covered - particles"). Confirming evidence: two same-commit
captures at HEAD compare clean against each other (0.0025%), and two
same-commit captures at the parent compare clean against each other
(0.0044%) - only base-vs-head is consistently elevated, which is what
frame-pacing drift from genuinely new per-frame RHI work (BeginFrame,
ring resets, the render-state reset above) would produce against a
fixed wall-clock capture deadline, not a rendering defect. Recommend a
quick user visual check of this capture pair alongside the automated
result, matching how V2c's particle work was already handled in this
campaign (flagged for user visual confirmation rather than blocked on
an automated gate that cannot cover animated content).

Move canonical per-session teardown into one retryable Runtime transaction, reduce App reset to projection acknowledgements, and prove the same GameRuntime graph through deterministic no-window lifecycle, gameplay, portal, fault, reconnect, and isolation gates.\n\nCo-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
Move remote-motion construction, CreateObject vector initialization, final simulation-component retirement, and the combined J5 ownership ledger into Runtime. Delete App compatibility views and moved-state reconstruction while preserving the existing graphical projection and retail update order.
Move projectile component identity, prediction invalidation, spatial worksets, authoritative corrections, and the retail physics step into AcDream.Runtime. Keep App as the DAT-shape and presentation adapter so ACE outcomes and visible behavior remain unchanged.
Move the sole PhysicsEngine, production cache, collision admissions, canonical bodies and hosts, remote components, ordinary/remote worksets, simulation, cell commits, and shadow synchronization under RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime. Keep App as the prepared-asset, animation-input, and render-projection adapter while preserving the named-retail update and collision order.
Add exact-incarnation, object-clock, callback-reentrancy, GUID-reuse, two-runtime isolation, source ownership, collision publication, and graphical projection coverage. Release build and the complete 8,588-test solution pass.

Issue stable Runtime identities at canonical registration, publish entity and inventory commits through one generation-stamped synchronous stream, and make graphical adapters borrow the same direct views and events as a no-window host. Preserve exact projection teardown and retail mutation order while removing App-side event reconstruction.
Make the hard-recenter ordering fixture independent of the production two-millisecond frame budget so its injected-failure gate is deterministic.

Detach old-world spatial ownership atomically, prioritize destination retirement dependencies, and reveal the viewport at the retail transition edge. Give private paperdoll views independent mesh ownership and retain dormant ACE entities so portal revisits preserve server objects without extending active GPU lifetimes.
Separate loaded spatial residency from the world presentation gate so destination live objects acquire mesh owners behind portal space while drawing and simulation stay quiesced. Prevent unowned CPU-cache hits from recreating stale GPU staging work.

Move streaming, live-session, hydration, local-player, combat, and teleport construction behind the typed Phase-7 boundary. Add exact-owner runtime bindings and focused spawn-claim classification so partial startup rolls back without retaining old session targets while preserving the accepted construction and frame dependencies.
Co-authored-by: Codex <codex@openai.com>
Move render-hit validation, live target classification, closest-hostile search, selection spheres, use/pickup gates, range checks, and approach parameters behind a read-only App-layer query owner. GameWindow now supplies runtime seams and delegates instead of owning those algorithms.
Carry local WorldEntity identity through render hits, lighting pulses, and deferred movement actions so GUID reuse cannot target a replacement. Reset all session-owned selection and ItemHolder state and prevent combat auto-target during teardown.
Restore the named-retail object update order across local, remote, static, projectile, animation, shadow, teleport, and effect lifetimes. Separate authoritative root commits from spatial rebucketing, preserve per-owner hook/FIFO ordering, and remove update-path allocations with exact lifecycle and residency gates.
Add deterministic conformance, adversarial lifetime, GUID-reuse, pending-cell, quaternion, timestamp, and allocation coverage. Release build is warning-free and all 6,446 tests pass with five intentional skips; retail, architecture, and adversarial reviews are clean.

Port retail's 25-second leave-visibility lifetime over canonical live records, retaining spatially resident and owned entities while using the conservative ACE visibility envelope for nonresident records. Route expiry through the normal generation-safe F747 teardown so animations, effects, physics, and render owners unwind symmetrically.
Replace the append-only modern mesh buffer with coalescing vertex/index ranges and upload each mesh's vertices once instead of once per material. Released zero-reference meshes can now reuse GPU ranges after portal and cache churn.
A connected five-region round trip returned animation ownership to baseline, recreated the starting region on revisit, and held normal FPS. Release build succeeds and all 5,927 tests pass with five intentional skips.
Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
Add deterministic 96-owner lifecycle and renderer-resource stress gates plus an exact twelve-cycle recall/portal ownership gate. Prove zero retained records, projectiles, spatial buckets, script queues, particle/light owners, shadows, pending effects, and mesh references after churn, GUID reuse, deletion, and session reset.
Make logical teardown incarnation-specific and reentrancy-safe with lifetime epochs, atomic resource registration, generation-aware effect/teleport cleanup, projection mutation tokens, and failure-isolated visibility fan-out. Finish canonical spatial transactions before reporting observer failures and never discard superseded cleanup failures.
Synchronize architecture, roadmap, milestones, retail research, divergence bookkeeping, and durable memory. All three independent review tracks are clean; Release build and the full 5,454-pass/5-skip suite are green.

Preserve canonical live-object ownership across Hidden transitions and remote teleport placement so effects, collision, streaming, and targeting remain synchronized.
Attach the retail projectile driver to canonical LiveEntityRecord ownership, sharing one PhysicsBody and full-cell identity with RemoteMotion regardless of creation order. Apply timestamp-gated state, vector, and position corrections in place, preserve active ordinary-body behavior when Missile clears, and keep renderer, effects, shadows, and spatial buckets synchronized across loaded/pending transitions.
Validate malformed packets before canonical timestamp mutation, validate adopted bodies from their current frame rather than stale CreateObject data, serialize late Setup resolution with streaming DAT reads, and preserve classification across clock anomalies. Retain shadow registrations through temporary leave-world residence while logical teardown remains generation-scoped.
Add 31 App lifecycle/adversarial tests plus Core shadow suspension coverage, and synchronize the retail pseudocode, architecture, milestones, roadmap, and durable physics memory.

Replace the incomplete package path with one DatCollection-backed compatibility seam for PhysicsScripts and Animations. Preserve CreateBlockingParticle's inherited payload and following cursor, route every production and audit consumer through the corrected loaders, and apply retail's post-UnPack StartTime ordering.
Add exact stored-order PhysicsScriptTable upper-threshold resolution, high-byte DID and embedded-ID validation, plus live effect profiles with Setup-to-PhysicsDesc precedence across top-level and attached entity lifetimes. Keep blocking execution deferred and narrow TS-11 accordingly.
Pin synthetic malformed/cursor/order fixtures, installed-DAT blocking and recall audits, high-index IDs, IEEE boundaries, profile teardown, and ordinary decoder parity; synchronize architecture, inventory, milestones, roadmap, research, and memory.
Co-Authored-By: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
Introduce LiveEntityRuntime as the canonical owner of each accepted server-object incarnation, stable local identity, timestamped state, parent relations, runtime components, and exactly-once teardown. Split logical registration from rebucketing so pending landblocks, equipment attachment, pickup re-entry, and GUID replacement reuse the same entity and effect owners.
Keep canonical materialized and visible target/radar views distinct, preserve retail leave_world versus exit_world semantics, gate root simulation while cell-less, and track transitional pre-Create F754 owners through delete and session reset. Remove stale-spawn rehydration and make GpuWorldState spatial-only for live objects.
Add lifecycle, generation, pending, unload, attachment, event-publication, local-ID, rollback, and effect-cleanup coverage; update architecture, milestones, memory, and the divergence register.
