The user's connected gate found five issues; each fixed at the root:
G4 (the discovery): retail's vendor X button calls only SetVisible(0)
(pc:204147-204182) — the SESSION stays open and re-using the vendor
lands on the same-session refresh; the range watcher remains the sole
real close. Our port invented a full teardown on X, which is exactly
why reopening died. The Runtime fixture proves the wire dispatch was
never the problem; ACE has no already-open short-circuit.
G3 (regression from the drag-suppression fix): denying IsDragSource
also dropped press capture, so clicks fell through to window-drag.
UiItemSlot.HandlesClick now claims presses for any occupied cell
independent of drag eligibility — clickable and draggable are separate
concerns.
G5: the authored popup 0x21000043 is ONE scrollable column with a real
scrollbar subtree (live-dat scan: ListBox 0x10000350 + scrollbar
0x10000351), not a 3x6 grid. UiMenu gains an authored-driven
Scrollable mode (wheel, thumb drag, track paging, up/down buttons);
chat's menu is untouched and its ten tests prove it.
G1: retail's cost format is "%s %hsp (you have %hsp)" — the p after
each %hs is a LITERAL pyreal suffix the port swallowed as part of the
specifier. Restored.
G2: the Buying/Selling pages' authored lists (same cell template as
Items) get the empty-slot fill, presentation-only until staging.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,390 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

All nine findings from the buy-arc review, at root:
F1 the materializer's retire pass re-checks ownership (guid->vendorId
map; remove only while the live object's ContainerId still equals the
recording vendor) — buying a player-sold UNIQUE no longer deletes the
item you just purchased; the discriminating reparent-then-refresh test
pins it. F2 the cost/name display subscribes to the live split state
and shares ONE quantity computation with Buy (retail re-renders per
slider tick: RecvNotice_StackSliderChanged 0x004C4500) — the sentence
and the charge can no longer disagree. F3 shop rows never mint drag
payloads (UiItemSlot.AllowDragSource gates both IsDragSource AND
GetDragPayload — the second gate was caught by this pass's own test).
F4 sendBuy reports whether anything was sent; a null-session buy
cancels the reservation instead of leaking BusyCount forever.
F5 the retire loop snapshots, isolates per-guid observer failures, and
clears its tracking in finally and Dispose — teardown convergence can
no longer wedge. F6 auto-select is retail's unconditional
first-filtered-item shape (pc:201180-201184; the survival-check was
our invention and the comment claiming otherwise is corrected).
F7 non-stack buys clamp to quantity 1 locally (BuySingleItem
pc:201669). F8 the Add button is hard-disabled until staging exists.
F9 AP-161/162/163 rewritten to the post-fix reality.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,378 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.
The #350 render-ledger overflow observed this session is under
separate investigation and is NOT addressed here.

Three ordered pieces in one landing (the shared controller/composition
files carry all three; the internal order was 6.1 -> 6.2 -> 6.3):
6.1 VendorShopItemMaterializer diff-merges the shop list into the live
ClientObjectTable on VendorState transitions (so client-local close and
session teardown retire the entries too) and never claims a guid it did
not add — ACE's UniqueItemsForSale can re-list a guid a player once
held (AP-163 files the collision-skip; no retail counterpart traced).
Right-click examine on shop items now routes through the ordinary
appraisal path — the 5.4 F7c blocker dissolves with the table entries.
6.2 SelectionChangeSource.Vendor: row clicks, auto-select, and examine
all flow through the canonical SelectionState; the status bar and the
existing byte-faithful StackSplitQuantityState slider light up
unmodified. VendorSplitPolicy is the single 0xDC41CB0 mask owner; the
slider VALUE seeds to 1 for exempt items while maxSplitSize keeps the
stack (the splitSize/maxSplitSize distinction, research §B.3).
Selection clears at retail's actual site — VendorItemsUI::RemoveFromShop
(pc:202848), not a CloseVendor-level clear that does not exist.
6.3 BuildBuy (0x005F): vendorGuid, count, (i32 amount, u32 guid) pairs,
and the trailing alternateCurrencyId the REAL client sends
(CM_Vendor::Event_Buy pc:689288) though ACE's reader ignores it.
TryBuy rides the EXISTING J5.2 one-request-at-a-time reservation and
completes on UseDone; the Buy button disables while a request is in
flight. The reconciliation round-trip (money property update, inventory
CreateObject, ApproachVendor refresh -> panel rebuild) is proven by a
synthetic-inbound test against existing machinery — no new owner.
Register: AP-161 narrowed (selection + examine residuals close;
staging/Sell remain; double-click-to-buy confirmed ABSENT from retail
with negative evidence cited — we match retail). AP-162 files the
conscious no-client-side-affordability-precheck deferral.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,368 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

The adversarial review's three blocking findings, each fixed at root:
1. A vendor session now CLOSES when its entity retires (despawn,
death, ObjectDelete) and at teleport BEGIN
(HasPendingTeleportStart || IsTeleportActive at the existing
per-frame seam — both hosts funnel through
RuntimeWorldTransitState.TryQueueTeleportStart, which flips the
pending flag strictly before activation). The previous permissive
early-return stranded the session forever: panel pinned to a stale
guid, ActiveVendorId swallowing Use for the rest of the session.
2. VendorShopItem carries the desc's stack size, and
VendorPricing.PerUnitValue ports retail's stack-total division
(VendorProfile::VendorSellPrice 0x005D1B00: <= 0 guard, integer
division) — a stack of 50 arrows now prices per arrow, not at 50x.
3. VendorState.Close() guards its observer fanout with the
dispatcher's catch-and-log semantics — a throwing panel listener
can no longer propagate into the unprotected per-frame path.
Register honesty rides along: the 0.6 m UseRadius fallback was
acdream's invention (ACE's CheckClose has no fallback; retail passes
the raw authored radius) — removed, the watcher now uses the raw
radius and AP-160's citations are corrected and extended with the
accepted-position-snapshot cadence; AD-72 files VendorPricing's
double-vs-x87-extended narrowing (AD-33's class, bounded by the
±0.1 margin).
Nine tests added. Clean-room complete solution: 11,311 passed /
4 skipped / 0 failed.

The sole VendorState joins the J4.2 inventory owners: populated by the
new 0x0062 ApproachVendor route (parse via VendorApproach, wire-to-
domain mapping at the routing seam, silent-drop on malformed like every
sibling), borrowed by both graphical and headless hosts, and torn down
through the EXISTING ExternalContainer reset stage — session reset,
portal-out, and logout all funnel through the one mechanism. Close is
client-local per retail (nothing on the wire): a range watcher rides
the existing per-advanced-frame publishMovement callback, using the
vendor's own authored UseRadius (ACE's 0.6 m fallback when absent).
The dormant ItemInteractionController ActiveVendorId seam is finally
wired as a live delegate — real id while open, 0 the moment the
session clears.
AP-160 filed in this same commit: the watcher measures plain 3D center
distance rather than retail's cylinder-gap, because Runtime has no
per-NPC collision radius/height source; bounded sub-meter, client-
local UI only.
Twelve Runtime tests: populate/field mapping, vendor replacement,
range clear + within-range retention, all three generation teardowns,
the ActiveVendorId seam, malformed-event drop. Clean-room complete
solution: 11,302 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Member-wise deletion of the three legacy resolver members named in
docs/research/2026-08-05-c5a-contract.md: PhysicsEngine.Resolve,
PhysicsEngine.HasCellSurface, and PhysicsEngine.ResolvePlacement. An
exhaustive receiver census over src/ found zero production callers of any
of the three — every production placement writer already reaches the
canonical PhysicsEngine.SetPosition transaction exclusively through
RuntimeSetPositionState (three call sites total). The deletion is purely
member-wise: IsSpawnCellReady and AdjustPosition, which shared the same
source region as the deleted members, are preserved byte-identical — every
remaining production caller of either (including PhysicsCameraCollisionProbe,
AdjustPosition's sole surviving production caller) is unaffected.
Companion changes:
- PlayerMovementController's 3-argument SetPosition test overload is renamed
to SeedPlacementForTest (internal) and CommitPreparedPosition is deleted;
83 call sites across 19 test files were mechanically renamed to match.
- Seven pinned test dispositions from the contract are executed:
3.1 (PhysicsEngineTests.cs: 11 legacy-resolver tests deleted, 6
ResolveWithTransition tests kept), 3.2/3.3/3.4 (re-point to canonical
SetPosition, with TransitionScratchDifferentialTests.cs additionally
gaining positive IsCommitted assertions after each bitwise comparison so
the differential proves a placement actually committed, not just that two
possibly-uncommitted results match), 3.5 (Runtime rename), and 3.6
(PlayerMovementPlacementTransactionTests.cs rewritten — its xmldoc now
states plainly that the render-root publish moved to
RuntimeSetPositionState.cs, but the sticky-release relocation claim was
false and is retracted; this disposition's coverage loss is the sticky
release path, not silently absorbed elsewhere).
- Stale `PhysicsEngine.Resolve`/`Resolve` doc citations in CellTransit.cs,
PlayerMovementController.cs, and HeadlessSessionWorldProjection.cs are
corrected to name the surviving canonical entry points by symbol
(SetPosition, AdjustSetPosition/AdjustPosition, ResolveWithTransition)
rather than fragile line numbers.
Retires AP-1 and AD-1 in docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md:
both rows described production zero-delta placement routing remaining on
the legacy resolver pending the Slice 4B2/4B route cutover; that resolver
no longer exists, so the condition each row tracked is now structurally
false rather than merely narrowed. AP-145 (routed through the prior commit)
and this commit's AP-1/AD-1 together bring the section counts to 101 AP / 47
AD active rows.
Builds on the AP-145 fix (previous commit) — this commit's staged tree was
independently rebuilt and its four suites independently rerun on top of
that commit before this commit was created, in addition to the combined
rebuild/rerun below.
Full-solution build: 0 errors (21 pre-existing warnings, all unrelated).
Suite results (combined tree): Core 4270/4271 passed (1 skip; the single
DatSoundCacheTests concurrent-decode-dedup failure is a known load-sensitive
race, confirmed passing standalone and unrelated to this change), Runtime
1176/1176, Headless 86/86, App 4132/4135 (3 skips).

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.

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 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.

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.

Retail jump landings BOUNCE: the floor touch records both a contact plane
(grounding) AND a collision normal (collided_with_environment), and
handle_all_collisions reflects the unmodified impact velocity off it at
5% elasticity (v += -(v.n)(elasticity+1).n, DEFAULT_ELASTICITY 0.05
@0x007c6a7c). Our transition already recorded both facts; the bounce was
suppressed by the AD-25 adaptation stack in the per-tick commit: a
Velocity.Z<=0 landing gate (needed because the resolver glued ascending
movers to the ground) plus a landing Velocity.Z=0 hand-zero whose stated
purpose was making the reflect a no-op. Downhill glided instead of
bouncing, flat-ground landings had no pop, and uphill jumps flapped
between grounded/airborne against the animation machine.
Three retail mechanisms replace the stack:
- check_contact (0x0050f5b0) seeding in ResolveWithTransition: a body in
CONTACT seeds the transition's contact only while v.contactPlane.N <=
0.0002; moving away seeds the last-known plane alone (get_object_info
0x00511cc0). Ascending jumps therefore run contact-free (ballistic, no
glue) - the gate's reason-for-being is gone. The plane requirement is
strict: Contact-without-plane is unrepresentable in retail.
- SetPositionInternal-shaped commit (0x00515330, byte-read end-to-end,
velocity-sign-FREE): contact purely from the transition's contact
plane, HitGround on the airborne->walkable edge, HandleAllCollisions
with unmodified impact velocity. Whole commit gated on Ok &&
candidateMoved (retail pc:283657 skips SetPositionInternal entirely
when the candidate did not move) - a standing body's contact state is
never re-derived, which is what keeps rest bit-stable (AD-41 updated).
- Byte decodes: gate override state&0x800000=Sledding, zero branch
state&0x20000=Inelastic, reflect strictly dot<0 - our port already had
all three correct.
Settle: real landings (>=0.25 m/s) bounce and decay geometrically;
smaller impacts are consumed by retail's unconditional small-velocity
zero, so standing never micro-bounces. Re-baselines documented in place:
landing-survival pin measures decay post-settle; LiveCompare_Tick0/376
pin the new IsOnGround=false on zero-move ticks (captured true was the
retired seed echo; tick 376's captured body carries an 11.8 m/s grounded
velocity from the deleted get_state_velocity-overwrite era); de-overlap
fixture now carries the plane real grounded bodies always have. New
pins: LandingBounceSeedingTests (ascent no-seed, rest keeps contact,
strict plane, slope 5% reversal + tangential preservation, Sledding
override).

Two new PlayerMovementController-level tests, exercising the real
production controller (not just the Core-level composed model in the
prior commit):
- Update_AnimationRootMotion_WalkSpeedUnaffectedByResidualVelocityFix:
ordinary root-motion walking (no fall/collision in flight) advances by
exactly the authored per-tick delta for 30 ticks with BodyVelocity
staying exactly zero throughout - the fix is a complete no-op for the
common case, pinning the L.3c hazard
(claude-memory/project_physics_collision_digest.md's DO-NOT-RETRY
table) at the Runtime level alongside the existing Core-level
GroundedRootMotion_FrictionThreshold_DoesNotHammerLocomotionTests pin
(unmodified, still green).
- Update_RunningJumpLandsOnFlatGround_ResidualVelocitySurvivesAndDecays_NotFrozen:
a real charged running jump lands on flat ground and its residual
horizontal speed survives the first post-landing tick, then measurably
decays (dot(velocity, (0,0,1)) ~ 0 < 0.25, so friction engages here,
unlike the sloped roof capture where it doesn't).
Building the second test surfaced two genuinely separate, already-
correctly-scoped mechanisms unrelated to #265/#166, requiring no
production change: MotionInterpreter.LeaveGround (CMotionInterp::
LeaveGround 0x00528b00, R3-W4/J7/J8) recomputes velocity from the
CURRENT interpreted command on the grounded->airborne edge tick, so the
test holds Forward for one extra tick before releasing it; and
MotionInterpreter.ApplyCurrentMovementInterpreted's AP-77 "animation-less
/headless movement fallback" (already correctly scoped in the
divergence register) independently rewrites grounded velocity when no
DefaultSink is wired, so the test wires a minimal
FakeAnimationDispatchSink to match production's always-wired sink.

Wire ConstraintManager.ConstrainTo at every current acdream inbound-position
acceptance seam, matching retail SmartBox::HandleReceivedPosition
(0x00453fd0):
- Remote (player + NPC): LiveEntityNetworkUpdateController arms right after
the hard-teleport branch (remotePlacementRequired) returns - reaching that
point already means MoveOrTeleport did NOT hard-place - anchored to the
object's own live IPhysicsObjHost.Position.
- Local player teleport: PlayerMovementController.SetPositionCore now runs
UnConstrain (retail teleport_hook 0x00514ed0, previously a no-op because
nothing armed the leash) then re-arms anchored to the just-snapped
position, composing with the existing StopCompletelyAtPhysicsObjectBoundary
velocity zero rather than duplicating it. CommitPreparedPosition mirrors
the same pair for the deferred player-mode-entry commit path.
- Local player ForcePosition: PlayerMovementController.BlipPosition arms
with NO preceding UnConstrain (retail BlipPlayer/SetPositionSimple
survives motion/velocity/stick, and the leash is no different).
Push PhysicsBody.IsFullyConstrained from PositionManager.IsFullyConstrained
at the SAME per-tick chokepoint each pump already runs AdjustOffset
(PlayerMovementController.Update, RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick/TickHidden)
so TS-35's read gate in jump_is_allowed sees live state instead of a stub
that is never written.
Tests: local-player arm/teardown/rearm/taper/jump-refusal (Runtime.Tests,
PlayerMovementControllerTests), remote-tick IsFullyConstrained push
(Runtime.Tests, RuntimePhysicsStateTests). Full Core/Runtime/App suites
green with no regressions.
The render-alpha clamp test compared physics vs render position with
xunit precision:4 (Math.Round semantics); the AP-7 friction port shifts
the velocity-fallback trajectory by 7.6 um, landing two essentially
equal values on opposite sides of a 5e-5 rounding boundary. Assert with
a 1 mm tolerance instead. Merged-tree full Release suite: 9,887 passed /
0 failed / 5 skips including Headless (the exposed velocity-fallback
path holds).

Ports the retail CACQualities/EncumbranceSystem/MovementSystem chain
(named-retail decomp pc 256393/412901-414050/416169-416320/695958+) so
PlayerWeenie's run rate, jump height, jump permission, and jump stamina
cost are real functions of burden, current stamina, and vitae/skill
enchantments instead of stubs.
Core:
- New EncumbranceSystem.cs (delegates to the already-verified
BurdenMath formulas — one source of truth for the burden HUD and
movement physics) and MovementSystem.cs (GetRunRate/GetJumpHeight/
JumpStaminaCost/GetJumpPower, decomp-cited; ACE cross-referenced
where BN dropped the general-case arithmetic entirely).
- PlayerWeenie rewritten as the CACQualities-shaped composition:
CanJump gates on burden (<2.0 load, UN-8 — x87 polarity resolved by
plausibility, Ghidra MCP unavailable this slice), JumpStaminaCost
returns the real ceil((load+0.5)*power*8+2) cost and always affords
it (matches decomp — retail's own function never refuses; "weak"
jump comes entirely from the stamina==0 skill-zeroing gate inside
InqRunRate/InqJumpVelocity, not a hard refusal), SetStamina wires a
null="unknown, don't gate" sentinel preserving every pre-P1 test.
- EnchantmentMath.GetMod gained an optional StatModType flag filter
(GetSkillMod convenience wrapper) so the SAME vitae/family-stacking
machinery already used for vital-max buffs now also answers "what's
the vitae+skill-enchantment-adjusted Run/Jump skill" — reusing the
M3 active-enchantment state, not a new engine.
Runtime:
- RuntimeCharacterState now stores the pre-EnchantSkill base run/jump
skill and recomputes the adjusted value (vitae first, then matching
Skill-flagged buffs, floor 0.5, truncate) on every base push AND on
every Spellbook.EnchantmentsChanged notification — a vitae change
alone moves the produced rate without a fresh PlayerDescription.
- RuntimeMovementSkillState extended with Burden/CurrentStamina
(RuntimeMovementSkillProjection.ApplyTo pushes both through the
existing seam); LiveSessionEventRouter recomputes burden from the
same Strength+aug-property+EncumbranceVal inputs the burden HUD
already assembles (reacting to the same ClientObjectTable events)
and pushes current stamina from LocalPlayerState vital updates.
- Wires the previously dead-lettered ReportExhaustion() R3-W4 seam:
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's OnMovementStatsUpdated callback re-
applies the current snapshot to the live controller and forces an
immediate movement re-evaluation on any skill/burden/stamina change.
Register: retires TS-5 (CanJump/JumpStaminaCost stubs) and AP-25 (no
vitae in pushed skill). Adds AP-127 (two minor unmodeled retail bonus
properties + the stamina-buff-adjusts-local-copy nuance, deliberately
out of the bounded "run/jump query path only" scope) and UN-8 (the
CanJump x87 polarity call, flagged for a future Ghidra MCP
confirmation pass). Extends TS-23 (PlayerKillerStatus not parsed) to
cover JumpStaminaCost's new pk parameter, hardcoded false pending P3.
Full pseudocode + retail citations + the vitae/skill-level finding in
docs/research/2026-07-30-stat-coupled-movement-pseudocode.md.
Release suite: Core.Tests 3977/2 skips, Runtime.Tests 425/0 skips,
App.Tests 3968/3 skips — all green. (One pre-existing, unrelated Debug-
only flake in LandblockBuildOriginTests reproduces on the pre-P1
baseline and passes in Release; not touched here.)
