The complete retail drawing order in one installment (per the amended plan:
every installment is a COMPLETE retail behavior - the half-ported punch of
88be519 is re-landed here WITH the ordering that makes it correct):
static world (sky/terrain/weather/shells/scenery)
-> aperture depth writes (interior SEAL at true depth / outdoor+look-in
PUNCH to far-Z; PortalDepthMaskRenderer, DrawPortalPolyInternal
Ghidra 0x0059bc90)
-> interior cells WHOLE, far-to-near, drawn once (DrawCells Loop 2,
Ghidra 0x005a4840; use_built_mesh pc:427905)
-> per-cell STATIC object lists
-> ALL dynamics LAST (DrawDynamicsLast), depth-tested, never hard-clipped
InteriorEntityPartition: new contract - every ServerGuid != 0 entity goes
to Dynamics regardless of cell (indoor/outdoor/unresolved/hidden); ByCell
carries only dat-baked indoor statics of visible cells; Outdoor renamed
OutdoorStatic. Fixes the audit's livedynamic-invisible-under-interior-roots
divergence as a side effect (live entities are never dropped by the
visibility set; culling is T3's viewcone).
DELETED (retail has no counterpart): the gl_ClipDistance shell chop
(927fd8f enable + 9ce335e outdoor scoping + UseShellClipRouting + the
per-slice shell loop + clipShells param) - retail never clips cell
geometry; aperture exactness = punch/seal + z-buffer + this order. The
old per-slice scissored AABB depth clear is replaced by retail's single
gated full clear (ClearDepthForInterior). The interior-root LiveDynamic
top-up draw and the look-in's dynamics involvement are gone (one last
pass, no double-draws).
Closes at the T5 gate (expected): #114 (chop deleted), the char-eaten-by-
doorway regression (ordering), outdoor interiors-through-doorways (punch);
#108's render half (seal) - its membership half stays re-attributed.
Suites: build green, App 226 green (partition tests rewritten to the T1
contract), Core 1398 + 4 pre-existing #99-era + 1 skip.

Checkpoint of the unified retail-faithful indoor render. The two-week HANG/grey is fixed and the
interior seals (live-verified by the user). Commits the session render-rewrite foundation together
with the fixes that made it functional.
- HANG fix: PortalVisibilityBuilder.Build portal flood did not terminate (the faithful ProjectToClip
near-side clip drifts per round, defeating the CellView dedup; the BFS had no bound after U.2a removed
MaxReprocessPerCell). Fix = drift-tolerant snapped/canonical CellView.Add dedup (PortalView.cs) plus
restored MaxReprocessPerCell=16 bounded re-enqueue (PortalVisibilityBuilder.cs). Re-enqueue is kept
(load-bearing for late-slice propagation, Build_ViewGrowthAfterDoneCell_PropagatesNewSlicesToExit);
only its count is capped. CellViewDedupTests added.
- Seal (DrawCells Task 2): RetailPViewRenderer.DrawEnvCellShells draws EVERY visible cell via
IndoorDrawPlan.ShellPass (was gated on the ClipFrameAssembler slot filter, leaving slot-less cells grey).
- Look-in FPS: GameWindow exterior look-in candidates limited to the player landblock +-1 (was all ~81
loaded LBs iterated every outdoor frame). No behaviour change (far cells were >48m, already culled).
Remaining dominant issue = the FLAP at transitions: viewer-cell metastability (render roots at the
camera-eye cell, which oscillates outdoor-indoor as the 3rd-person boom drifts across the doorway,
confirmed in render-sig). SEPARATE fix, NOT the DrawCells port. Full handoff + flap fix plan + tracked
follow-ups (#78 terrain, look-in-from-inside, look-in FPS, L-spotlight):
docs/research/2026-06-07-indoor-render-session-handoff.md.
Baselines: build 0 err; App.Tests 210/210; Core.Tests 1331 pass / 4 fail (pre-existing) / 1 skip.

Pure helper splitting a frame's entities into live-dynamic / per-cell statics /
outdoor scenery, by the same precedence as WbDrawDispatcher.ResolveEntitySlot
(serverGuid first — live entities have no ParentCellId). Feeds the per-cell
DrawInside loop. 3 unit tests, GL-free.
