Builds the machinery route 4b-2 and 4b-3 will flip on, and changes no remote
behaviour: it has no production caller, so RemotePlacementDrivePendingCount is
provably 0 and IsConverged is unchanged.
Five pieces: a per-entity remote placement owner (RuntimeRemotePlacementDriveController),
a Position-time service-window guard with a Runtime interface plus BOTH host
implementations, N3's headless RetryPending pump, parked-count observability in
the ownership ledger, and the service-window optimisation that avoids parks we
can cheaply predict.
Landed alone because it is where the park-withdraws-the-entity failure was
decided; that decision is fixed at the source in the preceding commit and must
not share a review signal with a behaviour flip.
Two parts of route 2's controller are deliberately NOT ported, both verified
against retail rather than assumed. There is no ack: SendPositionEvent is called
only inside HandleReceivedPosition's local-player FORCE_POSITION gate
@0x0045400C-@0x00454091, and the remote arm @0x0045414D has no equivalent. There
is no re-issue funnel: retail never re-attempts a position it could not apply —
stale timestamps merely bump error_count @0x004542AC — and re-issuing packet N
after N+1 has merged would apply a pose the newer packet already superseded,
which is correct for a one-shot ForcePosition and wrong for a 5-10 Hz stream.
The service-window guard is an OPTIMISATION, not the correctness mechanism. The
original contract had it the other way round, justified by a claim that retail
cannot represent "arrived but not placeable" — false, and corrected in the
review findings: retail's GotoLostCell/reenter_visibility path represents it
exactly. A pre-flight guard also cannot be complete, because Core defers on the
entity's CURRENT cell, on the swept QueriedCellIds footprint spanning
neighbouring landblocks, and on residency evaluated after AdjustToOutside —
conditions only Core can see.
Review found and this commit fixes: DetachRoute cleared two maps of LIVE Core
operations without cancelling them (route 2's AbandonPending is the correct
mirror, not the first-entry controller) and its test asserted that blindness as
convergence; the headless predicate answered "can ever publish" rather than "is
published", and after the first fix still matched only 1 of the 9 landblocks
this host publishes; OwnsPlacement admitted remote top-level Creates until
gated on the Teleport flag as well as the disposition; Advance re-submitted
without re-checking the window; and four comments cited a report that did not
exist.
Contract item 6 is met by the structural proof, not the earlier test:
HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt refuses collision-prefix mutation permission before
ParkCollisionResidents is ever entered, so its overlap throw is unreachable.
That same mechanism is the unbounded stall filed as #310, which 4b-1 does not
bound — it only avoids widening it.
#311 files the remaining per-tick allocation in RetryPendingProjections; the
early-out for the empty-FIFO case landed via a new HasPendingReceipts accessor
so hosts still never touch .Placements. directly.
Gates: complete Release solution 10,973 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
10,938). Four review rounds; every fix discrimination-verified by revert.

A local-player ForcePosition had TWO independent writers for one accepted
packet: LocalForcePositionTransaction snapped the physics body
(PlayerMovementController.BlipPosition, a raw SnapToCell with no collision
resolve), while LiveEntityNetworkUpdateController's generic tail separately
wrote position/cell/rotation to the render WorldEntity from the raw wire and
rebucketed it. Two stores, one packet — the divergence class 670f307c fixed on
the remote path. The outbound AutonomousPosition ack also fired BEFORE any
canonical commit existed: we told ACE "got it, I'm here" before deciding where
"here" was, and the trailing isCurrent() could only suppress the continuation,
never recall the packet.
RuntimeAcceptedPositionDriveController is now the one Runtime-owned seam. Both
hosts call the identical TryExecuteAcceptedLocalPosition; App and headless
project the committed result through the existing placement projection sink
(LiveEntityRuntime.TryApplyRuntimePlacementPlace already performed the same
four writes, from committed state rather than a wire guess).
Retail: SmartBox::HandleReceivedPosition @0x00453FD0's FORCE_POSITION branch is
get_heading -> Frame::set_heading -> SmartBox::BlipPlayer @0x00453940 -> stamp
POSITION_TS -> SendPositionEvent @0x00454091 -> return @0x0045409D. BlipPlayer
is CPhysicsObj::SetPositionSimple @0x005162B0 with flags 0x1012
(Teleport|Slide|SendPositionEvent) — a real collision-resolving SetPosition,
not a snap. The pinned classifier already encoded this exactly.
Named behaviour changes:
* The ack is now an OUTPUT of the committed route, fired strictly after the
canonical commit and exactly once per accepted force packet.
* The ForcePosition route no longer re-arms the constraint leash. The force
branch returns at 0x0045409D, ahead of all three ConstrainTo sites
(0x00454272, 0x0045418A, 0x004541EC); the old re-arm cited retail's "Player,
normal" branch, which BlipPlayer is not on. The teleport, CommitPreparedPosition
and first-entry callers legitimately still constrain and are untouched.
* A force correction that terminates WITHOUT committing still sends its
position event and is not retried — retail's BlipPlayer discards
SetPositionSimple's SetPositionError return and acks unconditionally.
A single _pending funnel owns the in-flight placement, deciding on the token's
PositionAuthorityVersion against the record's: equal -> clear; advanced with the
newest accepted event still a force -> re-issue, re-classified; advanced to an
ordinary Apply -> clear, since newer server truth owns that pose. This closes a
double-apply/double-ack and a silently-dropped correction that two earlier
iterations of this slice each introduced.
AD-62 records the residual: a ForcePosition our async collision publication
cannot carry to a committed placement is not re-applied. Retail has no park —
its world is fully resident and its placement synchronous — so the state is
unreachable there. AP-131 is NOT retired; its legacy Position caller is route 4.
Deleted: LocalForcePositionTransaction, PlayerMovementController.BlipPosition,
HeadlessSessionWorldProjection.BlipLocalPlayer.
Gates: complete Release solution 10,858 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
10,844/4/0). Two independent Opus reviews (retail-conformance and
architecture/adversarial) PASS on the final diff after three FAIL rounds; every
intermediate state was fully green, so the suite caught none of the four real
defects. Connected acceptance is NOT run: nothing a user can do makes ACE emit
a ForcePosition without retail's @pklite, which acdream does not implement — see
docs/research/2026-08-03-c4-route-2-visual-gate.md.
Known gap, recorded not claimed: the plan's acceptance item 2 is unmet. The App
double-write check is a source pin, and "the committed projection moves the
render entity" is uncovered at any layer (#292). Filed alongside: #286-#291,
#293-#296.

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.
