User live report (the R3 visual pass): pressing W stopped the local
player instantly (retail observers saw run + rubber-band back — our AP
never moved); S/strafe appeared to work. The edge tracer + a
harness-with-echo repro converged on the funnel:
ApplyInterpretedMovement live-read InterpretedState.ForwardCommand
AFTER the style dispatch. The style dispatch SUCCEEDS against the real
MotionTableDispatchSink (GetObjectSequence Branch 1 style==target →
success — verified in the raw @298636), which gates the
ModifyInterpretedState write → InterpretedMotionState::ApplyMotion's
style branch resets forward_command to Ready UNCONDITIONALLY (raw
0051ea6c — our port is verbatim). Retail SELF-HEALS: its compiled
apply pass reads the axis fields into registers BEFORE the style call,
so the fwd dispatch re-applies the pre-reset command and the field
recovers within the pass — proven by our own 183-case live-retail
observer trace (the fwd dispatch carries the wire's RunForward after
the style dispatch on the same UM). The BN pseudo-C's apparent
post-style field reads at 0x528687 are decompiler rendering of hoisted
registers — the same artifact class as the A1 polarity inversion.
Under the live-field read, every apply pass (the ~10Hz ACE UM echo via
ApplyServerRunRate included) dispatched Ready and left the field
permanently Ready; the controller's per-frame get_state_velocity then
zeroed the body. The 183-case suite could not catch it: its
RecordingSink's return value doesn't mirror the real sink's
style-success, so the resetting state-write never ran under test.
Fix: entry-cache fwd/sidestep/turn commands+speeds (and the my_run_rate
read) before the style dispatch — restoring the S2a funnel's original
semantics through the W5 merge.
3 new regression tests bind the REAL sink over a real sequencer
(the masked condition): a full apply pass self-heals forward; 2 seconds
of held-W with echo cadence covers meters not centimeters; Shift
walk↔run toggling survives mid-transition echoes. Full suite: 3,734
passed. Temp diagnostics removed.
