acdream never parsed retail's Sound event, so every server-driven cue was
silent: melee hits and wounds, wield/unwield, pickup/drop, lockpicking,
lifestone bind, spell resist, trap triggers, item mana depletion.
SoundEvent parses the 16-byte message (guid, SoundType, f32 volume) whose
layout three oracles agree on: retail CM_Physics::DispatchSB_SoundEvent
@0x006AC760 reading buf+4/+8/+0xC, ACE's GameMessageSound at declared
length 16, and holtburger's PlaySoundData.
Playback reuses EntityEffectController's existing per-guid queue rather
than adding a second one, because retail routes sounds through the SAME
CObjectMaint blob queue as F754/F755: an event for a guid the client does
not know yet is parked and drained by HandleCreateObject, so a creature
that spawns and immediately grunts still grunts. Dropping it — the
obvious alternative — would silently lose the cue. Sound joins Direct and
Typed as a third PendingEffect kind so one readiness edge releases the
whole mixed stream in order.
AudioHookSink.PlayServerSound reproduces two decoded asymmetries with the
animation-hook path: the sound plays at the WIRE volume and the
SoundTable entry's volume is ignored (the hook path does the opposite),
while the entry's probability still gates it and its priority still
drives eviction. An object with no SoundTable plays nothing, matching
CPhysicsObj::play_sound @0x0050F460's early return.
The no-window host parses and discards, exactly as it does for F754/F755
— sound is presentation.

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.

f24532ad changed two presentation contracts that these fixtures still
expressed in their pre-change shape. Both failures date exactly to that
commit; they are independent of the world-frame family fixed in 6dcb94ac.
LiveEntityLightControllerTests.Refresh_FollowsCurrentTopLevelRootAndCell moved
the entity by writing ParentCellId alone. f24532ad now populates EffectCellId
at materialization and keeps it synchronized on canonical rebuckets
(LiveEntityRuntime.RebucketLiveEntity:845-856), because retail's
CPhysicsObj::set_cell changes the one CObjCell that ShouldDrawParticles reads.
EntityEffectPoseRegistry.UpdateRoot:163 resolves EffectCellId ?? ParentCellId,
so a production cell move writes both together and the old single-field move
left effects and lights on the stale materialization cell.
LiveEntityAnimationSchedulerTests.RetainedProjectileWithRemote_WhenMissileClears_TransfersMovementToRemoteOnce
seeded its shared remote body by assigning Position directly. Projectile
classification now validates and adopts the canonical body's own cell frame
(ProjectileController:184-190 - body.CellPosition.ObjCellId /
.Frame.Origin) rather than deriving it from the sidecar's FullCellId and the
streaming center, since a residence-managed Create legitimately still reports
FullCellId 0. A Runtime-committed body always carries its (cell, local) frame,
so the fixture now seeds it through the same SnapToCell placement API; leaving
it cell-less was correctly refused.
Both fixtures keep their original assertions - only the modelled world state
moved to match what production now commits.
Complete Release solution: 10,831 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(App 4,048/3, Bake 15, Cli 4, Content 124, Core.Net 762, Core 4,247/1,
Headless 79, Runtime 1,009, UI 543).
Closes#281.

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.

Move Phase-2 startup behind typed composition/publication boundaries, replace the GameWindow-capturing PhysicsScript gate with a focused deferred source, and own animation-hook registrations reversibly. Make OpenAL construction and teardown transactional so every device, context, source, and buffer prefix is retryable without replay.
Pin the accepted startup, input, frame, resize, shutdown, and native-window order before Slice 8 moves those edges, while deleting only unread duplicate state and test-only GameWindow facades.

Process animation completion at the retail process_hooks boundary, then run targeting, movement, PartArray completion, and PositionManager in the named UpdateObjectInternal order for local, remote, hidden, and position-less animated objects. Retire TS-42 with deterministic conformance coverage.\n\nCo-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
Resolve DAT-authored particle ranges from the hardware GfxObj, apply retail distance and completed-cell visibility gates, and preserve the exact finite/infinite off-view update semantics. This removes dense-world simulation work without shortening terrain, entity, fog, or streaming distance.
Publish doorway-clipped outdoor cells through a focused frame controller, retain effect cell identity for outdoor statics, reject hidden emitters before particle-slot scans, and offer an explicit opt-in Extended particle range.
Release build succeeds and all 5,857 tests pass with five intentional skips. Retail-conformance, architecture, and adversarial review cycles are clean; connected Aerlinthe visual/performance gate pending.

Route accepted Hidden and UnHide transitions through retail's internal typed-script path so their DAT scripts queue while the owner is cell-less and resume at the destination. Consume ACE's successful teleport control statuses silently, matching retail HandleFailureEvent.
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.
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.
