Triage step from the plan at C:\Users\erikn\.claude\plans\
i-did-some-work-sharded-acorn.md. Four sessions on issue #98 left the
worktree dirty with ~1352 LOC of mixed work. This commit splits the
work into "keep" (defensible + diagnostic) and "drop" (failed
experiments), then commits the keep set with the drops removed.
Plan asked for three commits (diag / fix / revert); consolidated to one
because the diagnostic emits in TransitionTypes.cs are tightly
interleaved with the multi-sphere CellTransit calls and the CellId
switch. Hunk-level splitting in those files for marginal bisect
granularity didn't justify the misclick risk.
Reverted entirely (failed experiments per slice 7 handoff):
- src/AcDream.Core/Physics/PhysicsDataCache.cs — neg-poly storage
fields (Stippling, PosSurface, NegSurface, HasNegativeSide,
IsNegativeSide, NegativeSide).
- src/AcDream.Core/Physics/ShadowObjectRegistry.cs — isBuilding flag
propagation through Register / ShadowEntry.
- tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Physics/BSPQueryTests.cs — 165 lines of
PolygonWithNegativeSide_* tests.
- tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Physics/ShadowObjectRegistryTests.cs —
isBuilding propagation tests.
- src/AcDream.Core/World/WorldEntity.cs — IsLandblockBuilding field

- src/AcDream.Core/Physics/PhysicsDiagnostics.cs — neg-poly fields
in the poly-dump format.
- src/AcDream.Core/Physics/TransitionTypes.cs — SpherePath.BldgCheck +
SpherePath.HitsInteriorCell fields and every consumer, the

- src/AcDream.Core/Physics/CellTransit.cs — FindCellSet overloads
with hitsInteriorCell out-param and the BuildCellSetAndPickContaining
out-param threading.
Kept (defensible correctness fixes + diagnostic infrastructure):
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs — render-vs-physics cell
origin split: the 0.02m render lift no longer leaks into physics
BSP caching. lb.BuildingTerrainCells threaded into LandblockMesh.Build.
- src/AcDream.Core/World/LoadedLandblock.cs — BuildingTerrainCells

outdoor-landcell terrain-walkable fallback in CheckOtherCells, and
the full diagnostic suite ([step-walk], [walkable-nearest],
[issue98-walkable-detail], [cell-set-summary], LastBspHitPoly
emits).
- src/AcDream.Core/Physics/PhysicsDiagnostics.cs — ProbeStepWalkEnabled
gate (ACDREAM_PROBE_STEP_WALK=1) + LogStepWalk helper + FormatVector

the placement adjustment path.
- Test files for the kept work: CellTransitFindCellSetTests,
CellTransitFindTransitCellsSphereTests, PhysicsDiagnosticsTests,
TransitionCheckOtherCellsTests, LandblockMeshTests,

Verification:
- dotnet build: green, 0 errors, 3 pre-existing warnings.
- dotnet test: 1156 passed + 8 failed (baseline was 1148 + 8 pre-
existing; the +8 passing are the new tests for the kept defensible
work). Same 8 pre-existing failures, no new regressions.

A6.P3 #98 is still open; this is the apparatus-prep step, not a fix.
Next: cell-dump probe (Step 2 of the plan).
Code-review suggestion (non-blocking) on commit 39fc037: the
BuildCellWithFloor XmlDoc referenced the TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane
→ FindWalkableSphere → FindWalkableInternal call chain that this
slice just removed from FindEnvCollisions. The test still needs the
BSP bounding sphere centered correctly, but for the primary indoor
BSP query (BSPQuery.FindCollisions), not for the deleted synthesis
path. Updated the doc to reflect the actual code path.

Code-review feedback on commit 5f7722a: the test was gamed —
placing the sphere exactly on the floor (worldPosZ = floorZ) made it
pass regardless of whether synthesis was present. With sphere center at
Z=0.48 (= floorZ + SphereRadius), PolygonHitsSpherePrecise's distance
guard fires immediately (|dist|=0.48 > rad=0.478) and
TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane returns false even WITH synthesis code. The
test would have passed even if the strip were reverted.
Redesign: restore worldPosZ = floorZ - 0.05f (sphere center at Z=0.43).
Now |dist|=0.43 < rad=0.478 → the guard passes → TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane
finds the floor polygon → synthesis would fire → CP writes every frame.
Path 5 (Contact branch) is not a concern: the loop moves only in X so
movement = (0.001, 0, 0), Dot(movement, floor_normal=(0,0,1)) = 0 ≥ 0 →
PosHitsSphere front-face cull rejects the floor hit even with sphere
center below the floor. Path 5 returns OK with zero CP writes. Contact
flag is left set to keep the test on the realistic grounded-mover path.
Validated locally by temporarily re-introducing the synthesis call —
test fails with 60 writes (1 per frame) pre-strip, passes with 0
additional writes post-strip. Now a real regression sentinel.
1148 pass + 8 pre-existing fail baseline maintained.

Closes A6.P2 Finding 2 (ContactPlane resynthesis blowup, 250x to ∞x
more CP writes than retail). Indoor branch of Transition.FindEnvCollisions
now matches retail's CEnvCell::find_env_collisions tiny shape (decomp
line 309573): call BSPTREE::find_collisions, return OK. No synthesis,
no per-frame ValidateWalkable call, no per-frame ContactPlane write.
Cross-frame CP retention now flows via:
- Mechanism A: BSPQuery.FindCollisions Path-3 step-down write on
grounded movers (retail-faithful: BSPTREE::step_sphere_down at
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:323711 always writes contact_plane when
it finds a walkable surface — only fires if sphere penetrates floor).
- Mechanism B: per-transition LKCP restore in ValidateTransition
(added in 5aba071) for the Collided/Adjusted/Slid result cases.
- PhysicsEngine.RunTransitionResolve body persist (unchanged).
TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane definition retained for now; deleted in
A6.P4 alongside the #90 sphere-overlap workaround.
Test fix: IndoorContactPlaneRetentionTests sphere position corrected
from 5 cm below the floor (pre-fix arrangement to trigger synthesis)
to exactly on the floor (worldPosZ = floorZ). A grounded sphere at
its natural position does not penetrate the floor polygon, so BSP
Path 5 finds no intersection and returns OK immediately — zero
additional CP writes in 60 frames. Previously the below-floor position
was causing Path 5 → StepSphereUp → DoStepDown → SetContactPlane
every frame (60 writes), not the synthesis path.
Verification:
- IndoorContactPlaneRetentionTests: PASS (was the 9th expected fail;
back to 1148 pass + 8 pre-existing fail).
- Full suite: 1148+420 pass, 8 fail (baseline maintained +1 pass).
- Re-capture verification (scen1/3/5) deferred to Task 6.

Code-review feedback on commit 36975ef:
- Remove redundant SetCheckPos call in BuildGroundedTransition
(InitPath already set CheckPos to begin; the second call was a
no-op that misled readers into thinking it was load-bearing).
- Correct the class-level fixture-pattern attribution: pattern is
a blend of FindEnvCollisionsMultiCellTests (engine+DataCache
setup) and IndoorWalkablePlaneTests (sphere radius 0.48f +
BuildCellWithFloor pattern). Comment was misleading by naming
only the first.
Test still fails today with 'got 60. Finding 2 fix not complete.'
No functional change.

Test asserts 60 frames of indoor flat-floor walking should produce
≤5 ContactPlane writes. Fails today (broken code: ~60 writes).
Will pass after Task 4 + Task 5 strip the per-frame synthesis path.
Fixture: synthetic CellPhysics with flat floor (±10m XY, floorZ=0),
CellBSP=null so ResolveCellId keeps the indoor classification, BSP
bounding sphere centered at the global sphere center (worldPosZ +
sphereRadius = 0.43) so NodeIntersects passes in FindWalkableInternal.
worldPosZ = -0.05 places sphere bottom 0.05m below floor so
ValidateWalkable's below-surface branch fires (dist = -0.05 < -ε).

ResolveCellId's indoor-seed fall-through was point-only: when the indoor
BSP push-back moved the foot-sphere CENTER a few cm outside the indoor
CellBSP volume, the resolver flipped CellId back to outdoor. Next tick
re-promoted via CheckBuildingTransit. The ping-pong caused most ticks
to be classified outdoor, bypassing indoor BSP wall checks entirely
and producing the user-reported "walls walk through everywhere in the
inn" symptom.
Fix: port retail's BSPTREE::sphere_intersects_cell_bsp
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:323267 → BSPNODE variant at :325546) as
BSPQuery.SphereIntersectsCellBsp(node, center, radius). Replace the
point-only check at PhysicsEngine.ResolveCellId:285 with the radius-
aware overlap test. Player stays classified indoor as long as ANY
part of the foot-sphere still overlaps the indoor cell volume; only
flips to outdoor when the sphere is FULLY outside.
Retail uses a 0.01 m epsilon on the radius (acclient :325551); ported
verbatim. 8 new unit tests cover null/leaf/inside/on-plane/straddling/
fully-outside/tangent-boundary cases plus a regression-anchor test
that proves the old PointInsideCellBsp would have returned false for
the same straddling input.
1147 + 8 baseline maintained (was 1139 + 8 before #90 fix). Closes#90.
A4 multi-cell iteration (shipped earlier today) should now actually
exercise in production since the player can stably remain in indoor
cells.

After the primary cell's BSP returns OK, query every other cell the
foot-sphere overlaps via CellTransit.FindCellSet + Transition.CheckOtherCells.
Closes the Holtburg inn vestibule wall walk-through: the vestibule
(cell 0xA9B40164) has only 4 BSP polys; walls live in the adjacent
interior cell (0xA9B40157). Without A4 the adjacent cell's BSP was
never queried.
End-to-end test reduces the real Holtburg bug to a minimal synthetic
two-cell fixture: empty vestibule BSP + interior cell with the
existing BSPStepUpFixtures.TallWall (the same fixture B2 uses to
prove a grounded mover can't scale a 5m wall). Pre-A4: returns OK
(walks through). Post-A4: returns Slid (the wall halts the
transition).
FindEnvCollisions visibility tightened from private → internal so
the integration test can call it directly without going through
FindTransitionalPosition's sub-step iteration.

Port of retail's CTransition::check_other_cells at
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:272717-272798. Iterates every non-primary

that cell's WorldTransform-derived rotation + origin, halts on first
Collided/Adjusted/Slid.
ApplyOtherCellResult is the combine-semantics helper extracted for
unit testability — it pins the retail switch:
- Collided/Adjusted → CollidedWithEnvironment = true (gated on
!Contact), halt.
- Slid → ContactPlaneValid + ContactPlaneIsWater = false,
halt.

Not yet wired into FindEnvCollisions — see next commit. Probe gated

The indoor branch of FindEnvCollisions called Transition.TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane
every frame to re-synthesize the ContactPlane after BSP returned OK.
The synthesis routed through BSPQuery.FindWalkableSphere ->
walkable_hits_sphere, which correctly rejects tangent contact via
|dist| > radius - epsilon. For a grounded player standing on or
brushing a floor, the foot sphere is tangent: 99.87% MISS rate per
the 2026-05-20 [cp-write] probe (3150 MISS / 3154 calls). Each MISS
fell through to outdoor terrain backstop, writing a ContactPlane
that's below the indoor floor by ~0.02m (the render Z-bump),
marking the player airborne and triggering the falling-animation
stuck symptom user-reported on 2nd-floor walks.
Fix: delete the synthesis + outdoor-fallthrough from the indoor OK
path. ContactPlane is retained from the prior tick's seed
(PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition:583, init_contact_plane
equivalent) or refreshed by BSP Path 3 (step_sphere_down) / Path 4
(land-on-surface) during the same tick. Matches retail's
BSPTREE::find_collisions OK path (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:323938).
Also deletes:
- Transition.TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane (~104 lines incl. doc-comment)
- INDOOR_WALKABLE_PROBE_DISTANCE constant
- [indoor-walkable] probe log line
- IndoorWalkablePlaneTests.cs (8 tests, the helper's coverage)
- TransitionTypesTests.cs (1 test, also tested the helper)
Net: -491 lines. BSPQuery.FindWalkableSphere + its 5 unit tests
retained as the underlying retail-faithful walkable-finder API
(reachable for spawn-placement / teleport-verification / future
debug needs; its doc-comment is updated to reflect the change).

Regression test for indoor BSP world-origin fix (Bug B). Verifies that
BSPQuery.FindCollisions with path.StepDown=true and a non-zero
worldOrigin parameter writes a world-space ContactPlane to
CollisionInfo (not a cell-local-space one).
Passes before the call-site fix at TransitionTypes.cs:1442 because
BSPQuery itself is correct when called with the right args — it's the
caller that was passing the defaults. This test locks in the BSPQuery
contract so the relationship between worldOrigin/localToWorld input and
ContactPlane.D output cannot regress silently.

TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane (Phase 2 commit eb0f772) used a linear
first-match XY scan of cellPhysics.Resolved with no Z-proximity test.
For any cell with two walkable polys overlapping in XY at different Z
(cellars, 2nd floors, balconies, stairs spanning floors), it returned
whichever polygon came first in dictionary order — typically the upper
floor when descending, causing the player to be reported below the
synthesized plane → ValidateWalkable fails → falling-stuck. Symptoms
reported by user 2026-05-19: cannot descend into cellar; cannot walk
on 2nd floor; "invisible obstacles at certain spots" (suspected
cascade from wrong-Z ContactPlane misrouting the resolver state).
Fix: route through BSPQuery.FindWalkableSphere (added previous commit),
which wraps the existing retail-faithful FindWalkableInternal
(BSPNODE::find_walkable + BSPLEAF::find_walkable port). Adds a
sphereRadius parameter to TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane so the foot
sphere is built with the actual entity radius rather than a guess.
WalkableAllowance is save/restored via try/finally so the slope
threshold used by walkable_hits_sphere doesn't leak back to the
resolver. Method becomes an instance method (was static) to access
this.SpherePath.
Deletes the now-dead PointInPolygonXY helper.
Updates IndoorWalkablePlaneTests.cs: all TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane
test fixtures now include a PhysicsBSPTree leaf node (required by
the new routing path), calls pass sphereRadius, and the PointInPolygonXY
tests are removed (method deleted). Adds TransitionTypesTests.cs with
an integration test covering two-overlapping-floors selection AND
WalkableAllowance preservation.

Thin public wrapper over the existing retail-faithful
FindWalkableInternal (BSPNODE::find_walkable + BSPLEAF::find_walkable
port). Probes downward by probeDistance along up, returns the closest
walkable polygon the sphere would rest on plus the adjusted center.
Will replace Transition.TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane's linear first-match
scan (next commit). The wrapper is callable from any "stand here, find
my floor" use case; current intent is indoor walkable-plane synthesis.
4 unit tests covering: two-floors-foot-between (sphere overlapping lower
floor), only-upper-floor-foot-above (sphere overlapping upper floor),
no-walkable-in-probe-range (sphere out of overlap distance for all
polygons), steep-poly-rejected-by-WalkableAllowance. Note: find_walkable
requires sphere to overlap the polygon plane (|dist| <= radius);
the tests use geometry that exercises this correctly, unlike the spec's
illustrative values which assumed a "nearest below" scan.

When the indoor cell-BSP query returns OK (no wall collision), the player
is standing on a floor poly inside the cell. Previously the code fell
through to outdoor terrain (SampleTerrainWalkable + ValidateWalkable),
which used the OUTDOOR terrain plane — below the indoor floor due to the
+0.02f Z-bump applied for render z-fight prevention. ValidateWalkable
saw the player 0.5m above the outdoor plane → marked them as airborne
→ walkable=False → falling animation, never recovers.
Adds TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane (internal static for testability): scans
the cell's resolved physics polys for a walkable floor poly (normal.Z >=
0.6664, walkable-slope threshold matching retail) under the player's XY,
transforms its plane + vertices to world space via WorldTransform, and
calls ValidateWalkable with the indoor plane. Adds PointInPolygonXY
(ray-casting even-odd rule, ignores Z). Both are wired just after the
BSP OK branch in FindEnvCollisions; outdoor terrain remains a defensive
backstop if no floor poly is found under the player indoors (rare).
Matches retail's CEnvCell::find_env_collisions behavior: no fall-through
to terrain when the cell BSP successfully completes a query.
Evidence: launch-phase2-verify5.log captured 12,141 walkable=False
events during an indoor session where the player never managed to walk
back outdoor through a door — they got stuck against the indoor wall
and the resolver never re-established a walkable contact plane.
Adds 13 unit tests in IndoorWalkablePlaneTests.cs covering:
- player over floor poly (returns true, plane normal up, plane at correct Z)
- player outside poly XY (returns false)
- no walkable polys (returns false)
- empty Resolved dict (returns false)
- cell with world translation (plane + vertices in world space)
- PointInPolygonXY cases (centre, near corner, on boundary, outside, Z ignored)

Five reviewer-flagged items addressed:
- Fix#1: GameWindow building-loop now reuses TerrainSurface.ComputeOutdoorCellId
instead of re-deriving the row-major cell-index formula. DRY win; no risk
of the two formulas drifting.
- Fix#2: BuildingPhysics.ExactMatch decoder now references
DatReaderWriter.Enums.PortalFlags.ExactMatch instead of magic 0x0001.
- Fix#3: ExactMatch XML doc clarified as "reserved per retail's
CBldPortal::exact_match; not currently consumed by CheckBuildingTransit".
- Fix#4: CheckBuildingTransit docstring now explicitly documents the
retail divergence — retail's sphere_intersects_cell (radius-aware) vs.
our PointInsideCellBsp (radius-less). The sphereRadius parameter is
reserved for the future sphere_intersects_cell port. Practical effect
noted: entry fires ~sphereRadius (~0.48m) deeper than retail.
- Fix#5: Test method `SphereInsideBuildingPortalDestination_AddsInteriorCell`
renamed to `BuildingPortalWithUnloadedCellBSP_NoCandidateAdded` — the
test asserts Empty(candidates), not that the cell is added. Comment
updated.

Closes the outdoor→indoor entry path. New BuildingPhysics type holds
the per-SortCell BldPortal list + building world transform; PhysicsDataCache
caches it (CacheBuilding + GetBuilding); CellTransit.CheckBuildingTransit
tests each portal's destination cell via PointInsideCellBsp.
PhysicsEngine.ResolveCellId's outdoor branch now hooks CheckBuildingTransit
after the terrain-grid lookup: if the matched landcell has a cached
building stab, check whether the sphere has crossed into one of its
interior EnvCells before returning.
GameWindow at landblock-load time iterates LandBlockInfo.Buildings and
caches each via PhysicsDataCache.CacheBuilding. The landcell-id derivation
uses retail's row-major cell-index formula (gridX * 8 + gridY + 1).
Polish items from Subagent B/C reviews folded in:
- visited HashSet in FindCellList's BFS (avoids O(N^2) re-enqueue)
- ResolveCellId_NoDataCache_ReturnsFallback test (closes coverage gap)
- DataCache-asymmetry comment in PhysicsEngine.ResolveCellId
- Replaced misleading FindCellList outdoor-branch TODO with explicit

rewritten: indoor seeds delegate to CellTransit.FindCellList (portal-
graph BFS + BSP containment test); outdoor seeds keep the landblock
terrain grid lookup from the original implementation (preserving the
L.2e prefix-preservation fix). Signature extended with sphereRadius
parameter (needed by the sphere-vs-portal-plane test). Three call
sites updated (PhysicsEngine x2, TransitionTypes x1).
BSPQuery.PointInsideCellBsp retyped from PhysicsBSPNode? to CellBSPNode?
— the function operates on the cell-BSP tree (CellPhysics.CellBSP.Root
is a CellBSPNode). The previous PhysicsBSPNode typing was dead code, so
retype is safe.
Deletes the Phase D ResolveOutdoorCellIdTests.cs file. New ResolveCellIdTests
covers the equivalent contracts (fallback zero, outdoor seed with no
landblock).
Outdoor->indoor entry (check_building_transit) is stubbed pending the
BuildingPhysics infrastructure landing in the next commit.

Adds PortalInfo struct and extends CellPhysics with CellBSP (third BSP
for point-in-cell tests, typed CellBSPTree from DatReaderWriter),
Portals (from envCell.CellPortals), PortalPolygons (resolved
cellStruct.Polygons — portals reference visible polys, not
PhysicsPolygons), and VisibleCellIds (populated for future use;
envCell.VisibleCells is List<UInt16>, not Dictionary).
Deletes CellPhysics.LocalAabbMin/Max and PhysicsDataCache.TryFindContainingCell
— Phase D's AABB shortcut is gone. CacheCellStruct's AABB compute
removed; the [cell-cache] diagnostic updated with portal/visible counts
instead.
CacheCellStruct signature gains an EnvCell parameter (one call site in
GameWindow.cs:5384 updated). ResolveOutdoorCellId drops the
TryFindContainingCell call; portal-graph CellTransit replaces it next.
ResolveOutdoorCellIdTests object initializers had the deleted AABB
properties stripped temporarily so the build stays green; the file gets
replaced wholesale in the next commit (CellTransit integration). Those
2 AABB-containment tests continue to fail (they were pre-broken on this
branch); no new failures introduced.

ResolveOutdoorCellId only resolved outdoor terrain landcells. A player
geometrically inside an EnvCell stayed in outdoor-landcell range, so
FindEnvCollisions' indoor cell-BSP branch (gated on cellLow >= 0x0100)
never fired. Both #84 (blocked by air indoors) and #85 (pass through
walls outside→in) are downstream of this — without indoor cell-BSP
collision the player gets stuck against outdoor-stab back-faces of the
building shell, and walls only block from one side.
Adds an indoor-cell-containment check via PhysicsDataCache: at
CacheCellStruct time, compute each cell's local AABB from its resolved
polygon vertices; at ResolveOutdoorCellId time, transform the world
position into each cached cell's local space and return the matched
cell's full id when contained. Falls through to the existing outdoor
terrain logic when no EnvCell contains the position.
Also fixes a pre-existing prefix-preservation bug in the outdoor branch:
the function now always applies the matched landblock's high-16 prefix
even when the input fallbackCellId arrived bare-low-byte (the L.2e
finding from CLAUDE.md). Updated two existing PhysicsEngineTests that
encoded the old bare-low-byte output.
Evidence: launch-cluster-a-capture.log @ 2026-05-19 — player at
worldPos (155.376, 14.010, 94.000) geometrically inside cottage cell
0xA9B40172, but sp.CheckCellId stuck at 0x00000031 (outdoor landcell)
across 454 [resolve] lines; zero [indoor-bsp] lines because the gate
never opened.
Closes#84.

Two related AnimationSequencer fixes for visible animation glitches at
motion-cycle boundaries.
1. Link-tail blend hold (closes#61). BuildBlendedFrame was wrapping
nextIdx unconditionally to rangeLo at the high-frame boundary —
correct for looping cyclic nodes (idle/run/walk loops), wrong for
one-shot links and action overlays. During the ~30 ms fractional
tail before the sequencer transitions to the next queue node, the
blend mixed frame[end] with frame[0], producing a one-frame flash
through the anim's starting pose. Symptoms: door swing-open flap
(frame 0 = closed pose) and player run-stop twitch (frame 0 =
mid-stride). Fix: gate the wrap on curr.IsLooping; non-looping
nodes hold the boundary frame until AdvanceToNextAnimation fires.
2. Stop-anim direction fallback. Stopping from WalkBackward /
SideStepLeft / TurnLeft hit a null linkData from GetLink (the dat
authors a single forward/right stop link and reuses it for both
directions). SetCycle then enqueued only the Ready cycle, snapping
straight to idle with no leg-settle blend. Fix: when the primary
GetLink lookup is null, retry with the substate's low byte remapped
to its forward/right peer (0x06→0x05, 0x10→0x0F, 0x0E→0x0D).
Both fixes are pinned by new regression tests in
AnimationSequencerTests that fail against the prior code (Y=5.02 for
the link tail wrap → frame 0 blend; Y=0 for the backward stop snapping
to Ready cycle).

Two retail divergences fixed from the 2026-05-16 faithfulness audit
(Commit A of the plan at docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-16-retail-faithfulness-fixes.md).
1. Rotation rate ignored HoldKey.Run. Retail's CMotionInterp::
apply_run_to_command (decomp 0x00527be0 line 305098) multiplies
turn_speed by run_turn_factor (1.5, PDB-named symbol at 0x007c8914)
when input is TurnRight/TurnLeft under HoldKey.Run. Effective
running rotation is 50% faster (~135°/s vs walking ~90°/s).
Our keyboard A/D and ApplyAutoWalkOverlay used a fixed walking
rate.
New: RemoteMoveToDriver.TurnRateFor(running) helper. Keyboard
path passes input.Run; auto-walk overlay passes
_autoWalkInitiallyRunning. The walking-rate base
(BaseTurnRateRadPerSec = π/2) is unchanged; TurnRateRadPerSec
constant is preserved as the walking-rate alias for callers
that don't have run/walk state (NPC remotes).
2. IsUseableTarget gated on `useability & USEABLE_REMOTE (0x20)`,
which was stricter than retail. Per ItemUses::IsUseable
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:256455) cross-referenced with 4
call sites, retail's IsUseable() semantic is `_useability != 0`.
But visually retail's USEABLE_NO (1) entities don't approach
either, because ACE never broadcasts MovementType=6 for them.
Our client installs a speculative auto-walk BEFORE the server
responds, so we'd visibly approach + face signs before the
wire packet was rejected.
Pragmatic fix: block USEABLE_UNDEF (0) AND USEABLE_NO (1) in
IsUseableTarget — slightly stricter than retail's
IsUseable but matches retail's user-visible behaviour
("R on sign does nothing"). Documented in the doc-comment so
a future implementer knows the gap.
3. New IsPickupableTarget gate for F-key path — requires
USEABLE_REMOTE (0x20) bit. Null-useability fallback for
BF_CORPSE + small-item ItemTypes (preserves M1 ground-item
pickup flow when ACE seed DB doesn't publish useability).
4. R-key (UseCurrentSelection) upfront gate now ALWAYS uses
IsUseableTarget. R is conceptually "use" with smart-routing
to pickup as a downstream optimization. F-key (SendPickUp)
uses IsPickupableTarget directly.
5. Retail toast strings on block, centralised in new
src/AcDream.Core/Ui/RetailMessages.cs:
- "The X cannot be used" (data 0x007e2a70, sprintf 0x00588ea4)
fires on UseCurrentSelection / SendUse gate block.
- "The X can't be picked up!" (sprintf 0x00587353) fires on
SendPickUp non-pickupable block.
- "You cannot pick up creatures!" (data 0x007e22b4) fires on
SendPickUp creature block (was previously silent).
- Plus 4 inactive retail strings ready for future call sites:
CannotBeUsedWith (two-target Use), CannotBePickedUp (formal
pickup variant), CannotBeUsedWhileOnHook_HooksOff +
CannotBeUsedWhileOnHook_NotOwner (housing). All cite their
retail data addresses + runtime sprintf addresses.
6. ProbeUseabilityFallbackEnabled diagnostic (env var
ACDREAM_PROBE_USEABILITY_FALLBACK=1) logs every time the
null-useability fallback fires. Settles whether the
fallback for creature + BF_DOOR/LIFESTONE/PORTAL/CORPSE
entries in ACE's seed DB without useability is hot code
or theoretical defense.
Test coverage:
- +3 RemoteMoveToDriverTests cover TurnRateFor walking/running/back-compat.
- +7 RetailMessagesTests cover each retail string with retail anchor.
- +1 CreateObjectTests TryParse_WeenieFlagsUsable_ReadsUseableNoValue
pins parser correctness for USEABLE_NO=1.
- 294/294 Core.Net pass; 24/24 new+touched Core tests pass.
- Pre-existing baseline of 8 Physics test failures unchanged
(BSPStepUp + MotionInterpreter regression noise from prior
sessions; out of scope here).
Deferred to a separate session per user direction:
- Click area = indicator-rect retail fidelity. Retail's picker
uses per-part CGfxObj.drawing_sphere + polygon refine
(0x0054c740); ours uses single Setup.SelectionSphere ray-
intersect. The rect corners are dead zones today. Three fix
options analyzed: screen-space rectangle hit-test, sqrt(2)
sphere inflation, polygon refine Stage B.

B.4b visual test confirmed the L.2g slice 1 handoff's open question:
ACE's Door.Open() broadcasts state=0x0001000C (HasPhysicsBSP |
Ethereal | ReportCollisions), NOT the state=0x14+ that retail servers
send (Ethereal | IgnoreCollisions). The L.2g pipeline correctly
mutates ShadowObjectRegistry with the new state, but
CollisionExemption.ShouldSkip required both bits and the door stayed
solid.
Retail (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:276782) wraps FindObjCollisions in
`if NOT (state & ETHEREAL && state & IGNORE_COLLISIONS)`. ETHEREAL
alone takes a different retail path at line 276795 that sets
sphere_path.obstruction_ethereal = 1 and lets downstream movement
allow passage despite the contact. We haven't ported that downstream
path yet.
Pragmatic shortcut: widen the early-out to ETHEREAL alone so doors
become passable when ACE flips the bit. Retail-server broadcasts
still hit the same branch correctly (both bits set implies ETHEREAL).
Compatible with both server styles.
Renames test EtherealOnly_NotSkipped -> EtherealOnly_Skipped and
flips its assertion. 13 CollisionExemption tests pass; full suite
1046 pass / 8 pre-existing baseline fail (unchanged).

New mutator that overwrites cached PhysicsState bits on every shadow copy
of the named entity. The existing CollisionExemption.ShouldSkip(...) check
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:276782) reads the same cached field, so a
post-spawn ETHEREAL flip is now honored on the next resolver tick without
any resolver-path change.
Retail anchor: CPhysicsObj::set_state at acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:283044.
Slice 1 scopes to the bare state-write — retail's cosmetic side-effect
handlers (0x800 lighting, 0x20 nodraw, 0x4000 hidden) don't fire for the
ETHEREAL bit and stay deferred.
Three TDD tests cover: ETHEREAL flip from 0->0x4; unregistered-entity
no-op; entity spanning multiple cells gets all copies updated.

Adds ACDREAM_PROBE_BUILDING — a read-only per-shadow-entry probe that
captures full BSP collision evidence whenever TransitionTypes.FindObjCollisions
attributes a hit (via the existing L.2a slice 3 chain). One multi-line
[resolve-bldg] entry per attributed hit: partIdx, hasPhys, bspR vs
vAabbR, world-space entOrigin_lb, and the actual hit polygon's vertices
in both object-local and world space.
Paired with a one-time [entity-source] line at every ShadowObjects.Register
call site in GameWindow so entityId from a probe line is greppable to its
WorldEntity source within a single log file.
Plumbing: BSPQuery writes the resolved hit polygon to a new
PhysicsDiagnostics.LastBspHitPoly side-channel at the 5 SetCollisionNormal
sites in Paths 5/6 + CollideWithPt. TransitionTypes clears that field
before each shadow-entry dispatch and reads it back at the L.2a slice 3
attribution site to emit the probe line.
Spec component 4 originally described an out ResolvedPolygon? parameter
on BSPQuery.FindCollisions; the static side-channel achieves the same
observable behavior without plumbing through BSPQuery's recursive private
methods. Deviation noted in PhysicsDiagnostics.LastBspHitPoly's XML doc.
Reframes the plan-of-record's L.2d sub-direction paragraph: the 2026-05-12
handoff proposed porting CBuildingObj + per-cell walkability, but ACE
BuildingObj.cs:39-52 + named-retail acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:701260
show find_building_collisions is one BSP test on Parts[0]. Per-cell
walkability belongs to L.2e, not L.2d. L.2d slice 1 is the diagnostic;
slice 2 is the actual fix scoped from slice 1's evidence (one of three
hypotheses: wrong BSP loaded / over-registered parts / BSPQuery flaw).
Tests: 2 synthetic unit tests in PhysicsDiagnosticsTests.cs pin the
static API contract that the BSPQuery → side-channel → TransitionTypes
emission chain depends on. The multi-line line format itself is verified
by acceptance criterion 2 (live Holtburg-doorway capture) — covering it
here would require a heavy PhysicsEngine + Transition fixture for a
diagnostic-only emission.
Verified: dotnet build green; the 2 new tests pass; the 8 pre-existing
test failures listed in the L.2a handoff (MotionInterpreter GetMaxSpeed_*,
PositionManager.ComputeOffset_BothActive_Combined,
PlayerMovementController.Update_ForwardInput_*, Dispatcher.W_held_*,
BSPStepUpTests.{D4,C3}) remain failing — none introduced by this slice.

Three fixes to match retail CLandBlock::get_land_scenes (0x00530460):
1. Loop bound: iterate 9×9 vertices (side_vertex_count=9), not 8×8
cells. Edge vertices (x=8 or y=8) produce valid spawns when the
per-object displacement shifts the position back into [0, 192).
Confirmed by named retail decomp do-while condition, WorldBuilder
vertLength=9, ACViewer Terrain.Count=81, AC2D wTopo[9][9].
2. Building suppression: check at the DISPLACED position's cell
(CSortCell::has_building per spawn), not at the loop vertex index.
Matches WorldBuilder buildingsGrid[gx2, gy2] pattern.
3. Slope filter: replace finite-difference gradient approximation
with triangle-aware normal sampling via new static method
TerrainSurface.SampleNormalZFromHeightmap. Picks the correct
triangle via IsSplitSWtoNE, matching retail find_terrain_poly →
polygon->plane.N.z and WorldBuilder's GetNormal().
Tests: 5 new tests for SampleNormalZFromHeightmap (flat=1.0, sloped<1,
cross-validates with SampleSurface instance method) and DisplaceObject
edge-vertex validity.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Closes#48. Trees on sloped cells visibly hovered above the visible
terrain because GameWindow.SampleTerrainZ (the bilinear fallback used
during scenery hydration before physics registers a landblock) had
its diagonal arms swapped — used the SEtoNW triangle test on SWtoNE
cells and vice versa. The ACDREAM_DUMP_SCENERY_Z=1 diagnostic showed
every scenery line ran through the bilinear path (streaming race),
so on hilly terrain scenery was placed at a Z up to ~1.5 m off from
the visible mesh.
Latent since ff325ab (2026-04-17 "feat(ui): debug overlay + refined
input controls" carrying along the upgrade). That commit reached for
WorldBuilder TerrainUtils.GetHeight as the secondary oracle and
re-derived the triangle-pair tests; the named-retail / ACE algorithm
in TerrainSurface.SampleZ (used by the physics path / player Z) was
always correct, so player feet stayed flush — the two paths just
disagreed and only scenery noticed.
Fix:
- TerrainSurface.InterpolateZInTriangle (private static) — single
source of truth for the triangle pick + barycentric Z, sourced
from FUN_00532a50 / ACE LandblockStruct.ConstructPolygons.
- TerrainSurface.SampleZFromHeightmap (public static) — heightmap-
byte-array variant for the scenery hydration fallback. Both this
and TerrainSurface.SampleZ (instance) now delegate to the same
InterpolateZInTriangle.
- GameWindow.SampleTerrainZ — thin wrapper over the new static.
- TerrainSurfaceTests.SampleZFromHeightmap_AgreesWithInstance_AcrossWholeLandblock
asserts both sampler paths agree at 1500 sample points across both
diagonals, so future drift gets caught.
The ACDREAM_DUMP_SCENERY_Z=1 diagnostic in BuildSceneryEntitiesForStreaming
is kept committed (env-var gated, zero cost when off) — useful for
the related #49 scenery (X, Y) placement investigation filed in the
same commit.
Visual verified at Holtburg landblock 0xA9B30001 2026-05-06: the
formerly floating 32 m pines (setups 0x020002D3 / 0x020002D9) now
sit flush on the visible terrain mesh.
Test baseline: dotnet test reports the same 8 pre-existing motion /
BSP step-up failures as the handoff doc warned about — no new
failures introduced.

Grounded player remotes were showing a ~5 Hz Z staircase when running
up/down slopes — the rate of server UpdatePositions. Body Z stayed flat
between UPs, then ramped over ~100ms during the queue-active chase to
each new server position, then went flat again until the next UP.
Diagnosis (no diagnostic needed — the math is unambiguous):
PositionManager.ComputeOffset has two modes via
InterpolationManager.AdjustOffset:
- Queue active (body chasing a waypoint): returns
`(head − body) / dist × min(catchUpSpeed × dt, dist)`. 3D direction,
Z follows server's reported Z naturally.
- Queue empty / head-reached (within DESIRED_DISTANCE = 0.05m of the
most recent UP): returns Vector3.Zero. ComputeOffset falls back to
`seqVel × dt rotated into world` — pure animation root motion. Every
locomotion cycle bakes Z=0 in body-local, so the world result has
Z=0 too. XY advances at the running pace; Z stays at the last UP.
For a runner at maxSpeed ≈ 4 m/s with catchUpSpeed = 2× = 8 m/s and
server UPs at ~5 Hz, body covers ~0.8m per UP, chases for ~100ms
(queue-active 3D path, Z ramps), then sits in seqVel-only mode for
~100ms (Z flat) until the next UP. Visible as a 5 Hz Z staircase.
Fix mirrors retail's CTransition::adjust_offset contact-plane projection
(named-retail acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:272296-272346) for grounded
motion, applied at the queue-empty boundary instead of inside the sweep:
PositionManager.ComputeOffset gains an optional Vector3? terrainNormal.
When the seqVel-only fallback runs AND a non-trivial terrain normal is
supplied, project rootMotionWorld onto the plane:
result = rootMotionWorld − N × dot(rootMotionWorld, N)
Anim XY motion gains a corresponding Z component proportional to slope
angle × forward speed, so body Z follows the terrain mesh between UPs.
No-op on flat ground (N ≈ +Z, dot ≈ 0); cannot regress L.3 M2's
flat-ground verification.
GameWindow.TickAnimations grounded-remote path samples
PhysicsEngine.SampleTerrainNormal at the body's current XY each tick
and passes it to ComputeOffset. SampleTerrainNormal is a thin public
wrapper over the existing internal SampleTerrainWalkable that returns
just the plane normal (no need to expose the internal sample shape).
Diagnostic: ACDREAM_SLOPE_DIAG=1 prints a per-tick [SLOPE] line with
guid, body Z before/after, offset, queue active flag, and the sampled
plane Nz so we can grep before/after the fix and confirm Z changes
continuously between UPs on slopes.
Tests: PositionManagerTests gains two cases:
- slope projection: 30° east-tilted plane, body running due east at
4 m/s for 1s → expect (3.0, 0, −1.732) (descends along slope, not
flat). Math: dot(seqVel, N) = 2.0 → result = (4,0,0) − (0.5,0,0.866)
× 2.0 = (3.0, 0, −1.732).
- flat-ground no-op: N = +Z, expect identical Y-only motion as the
pre-fix behavior.
Build green. 357 pass / 6 pre-existing fail (same set as ec59a08;
verified by stashing this change). The pre-existing
`ComputeOffset_BothActive_Combined` failure reflects an outdated
additive-design test docstring; the M2 commit (40d88b9) deliberately
changed the implementation to REPLACE semantics to fix the prior
3×-server-pace overshoot.

Root cause confirmed via two-run diagnostic and the named-retail decomp:
the airborne sweep was colliding with the moving entity's OWN ShadowEntry
because FindObjCollisions had no self-skip filter. Live entities (local
player, remotes) register a Cylinder in ShadowObjectRegistry on spawn
(GameWindow.cs:2545) and UpdatePosition tracks its world position each
tick, so the moving sphere's own cylinder is always at the body's
position. Without a gate, CylinderCollision sees the sphere overlapping
its own cylinder volume and slides the sphere ~1m horizontally on every
frame the path produces non-zero motion.
Why grounded mostly hides it and airborne exposes it:
- Stationary grounded → numSteps=0, TransitionalInsert never runs.
- Walking grounded → push fires but motion escapes the cyl radius and
the deflection blends into normal motion.
- Stationary airborne (jump) → pure +Z motion; the cyl push is the
only horizontal contribution and manifests as a clean ~1m drift.
Run-2 evidence (launch-42-r2.log) — 152 [SWEEP-OBJ] events, every one
with type=Cylinder, gfxObj=0x02000001 (humanoid setup), R=0.679,
H=1.835, at obj.Position EXACTLY matching the body's pre.Position. Run
1 had already ruled out H1 (cpN=(0,0,1) flat, no slope projection).
Retail does the same skip — CObjCell::find_obj_collisions at
named-retail acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:308931:
if ((physobj->parent == 0 && physobj != arg2->object_info.object))
`arg2->object_info.object` is the OBJECTINFO::object self-pointer set
by OBJECTINFO::init at acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:274435. Our port
mirrors this with an EntityId-based filter:
- ObjectInfo gains a SelfEntityId field (default 0 = no filter).
- ResolveWithTransition gains an optional `uint movingEntityId = 0`
parameter that sets it.
- FindObjCollisions skips entries whose EntityId matches
SelfEntityId when the id is non-zero.
- PlayerMovementController gains a LocalEntityId property; GameWindow
refreshes it per-tick from `_entitiesByServerGuid[_playerServerGuid]`.
- GameWindow's airborne-remote ResolveWithTransition call site passes
`movingEntityId: kv.Key` (kv.Key is the local entity id keying
`_animatedEntities`, same id used at the spawn-time
ShadowObjects.Register).
Default 0 keeps tests and one-shot callers (no registered ShadowEntry)
working unchanged.
Lock-the-fix unit test:
`PhysicsEngineTests.ResolveWithTransition_SelfShadowEntry_NotPushedWhenIdMatches`
registers a humanoid Cylinder at the body's exact position (matching
GameWindow's spawn pattern), then asserts that:
- movingEntityId=0 (control) → unfiltered XY drift > 0.5m
- movingEntityId=registered id (fix) → XY drift ≈ 0
Diagnostic wiring (a36369d + this commit's [SWEEP-OBJ] addition) stays
in tree, env-var gated (ACDREAM_AIRBORNE_DIAG=1) so it produces no
output in normal use but lets us verify the fix on the live client and
debug future regressions.
Build: green. Tests: 355 pass, 6 fail (all pre-existing per the handoff
prompt — verified by stashing this change; the BSPStepUp C3 failure is
on the prior commit too).

Rewrites src/AcDream.Core/Physics/InterpolationManager.cs from the spec
in docs/research/2026-05-04-l3-port/04-interp-manager.md. Public API
preserved (Vector3-returning AdjustOffset, Enqueue, Clear, IsActive,
Count) so PositionManager + GameWindow callers continue to compile;
internals are full retail spec.
Bug fixes vs prior port (audit 04-interp-manager.md § 7):
#1 progress_quantum accumulates dt (sum of frame deltas), not step
magnitude. Retail line 353140; the prior port's `+= step` made
the secondary stall ratio meaningless.
#3 Far-branch Enqueue (dist > AutonomyBlipDistance = 100m) sets
_failCount = StallFailCountThreshold + 1 = 4, so the next
AdjustOffset call's post-stall check fires an immediate blip-to-
tail snap. Retail line 352944. Prior port silently drifted
toward far targets at catch-up speed instead of teleporting.
#4 Secondary stall test ports the retail formula verbatim:
cumulative / progress_quantum / dt < CREATURE_FAILED_INTERPOLATION_PERCENTAGE.
Audit notes the units are 1/sec (likely Turbine bug or x87 FPU
misread by Binary Ninja) — mirrored byte-for-byte regardless.
#5 Tail-prune is a tail-walking loop, not a single-tail compare.
Multiple consecutive stale tail entries within DesiredDistance
(0.05 m) of the new target collapse together. Retail line 352977.
#6 Cap-eviction at the HEAD when count reaches 20 (already correct
in the prior port; verified).
New API: Enqueue gains an optional `currentBodyPosition` parameter so
the far-branch detection can reference the body when the queue is
empty. Backward-compatible (default null = pre-far-branch behavior).
UseTime collapsed into AdjustOffset's tail (post-stall blip check)
since acdream has no per-tick UseTime call separate from
adjust_offset; identical semantic outcome.
State fields renamed to retail names with sentinel values:
_frameCounter, _progressQuantum, _originalDistance (init = 999999f
sentinel per retail line 0x00555D30 ctor), _failCount.
Tests:
- 17/17 InterpolationManagerTests green.
- New test Enqueue_FarBranch_PrearmsImmediateBlipOnNextAdjustOffset
pins the bug #3 fix: enqueueing 150 m away triggers a same-tick
blip (delta length ≈ 150 m), and the queue clears.

Code-quality review on commit 9c5634a flagged that the existing 4
GetMaxSpeed tests didn't cover the case where WeenieObj is null and
RunForward must fall back to MyRunRate. Without this test, a
regression that hardcoded the fallback to 1.0f would silently pass.

Ports retail's CMotionInterp::get_max_speed (0x00527cb0). Returns
motion-table-derived max speed (m/s) for InterpretedState.ForwardCommand:
- RunForward: RunAnimSpeed (4.0) × (InqRunRate ?? MyRunRate)
- WalkForward: WalkAnimSpeed (3.12)
- WalkBackward: WalkAnimSpeed × 0.65 (BackwardsFactor from adjust_motion @ 0x00528010)
- otherwise: 0
Decomp note: Binary Ninja emits a spurious void return for x87 FPU-returning
functions; the actual float return is confirmed by both callers
(StickyManager::adjust_offset @ 0x00555430,
InterpolationManager::AdjustOffset @ 0x00555d52) which multiply the result
by 2.0 to produce a catch-up speed in m/s. The per-command switch is
consistent with get_state_velocity (0x00527d50) which uses the same constants.
Used by InterpolationManager.AdjustOffset in Task 5 as 2 × GetMaxSpeed().
Until Task 5 wires it, the method is unused — covered by 4 unit tests.

Addresses code-quality review findings on commit f43f168:
C-1: Stall detection re-implemented to match retail (acclient lines
353071-353275). Tracks _progressQuantum (sum of step values per window)
+ _distanceAtWindowStart (set at window start). Primary check:
cumulative_progress < MIN_DISTANCE_TO_REACH_POSITION (0.20m absolute).
Secondary check: cumulative_progress / _progressQuantum < 0.30.
Either failing increments fail counter; blip-to-tail at >3 consecutive
fails (already correct).
C-2: Renamed StallFailCountForBlip -> StallFailCountThreshold with
clearer XML doc explaining the > vs >= semantics (blip fires when fail
count EXCEEDS the threshold, i.e. on the 4th consecutive failed window).
I-1: _haveBaselineDistance sentinel prevents first-window false
positive that was triggering spurious fails on every new motion sequence
(old code defaulted _distanceAtWindowStart to 0, making cumulative
progress always negative on frame 5).
I-3: dt <= 0 || NaN guard at AdjustOffset entry prevents NaN
propagation into PhysicsBody.Position.
I-4: Internal field renames for clarity:
_failFrameCounter -> _framesSinceLastStallCheck
_failDistanceLastCheck -> merged into _distanceAtWindowStart
I-5: Added internal Count property + InternalsVisibleTo (via
AssemblyAttribute in .csproj) so Enqueue_DropsOldestWhenAtCap20
actually verifies cap enforcement. Added assertion that head is the
second-enqueued position after overflow.
3 new tests (AdjustOffset_FirstWindow_DoesNotFalseFail,
AdjustOffset_DtZeroOrNegative_ReturnsZero,
Enqueue_AtCap20_HeadIsSecondOriginal), 16 total. All green.

Pure-data class + 13 unit tests.
Ports retail's CPhysicsObj::InterpolateTo (acclient @ 0x005104F0)
and InterpolationManager::adjust_offset (@ 0x00555D30) — FIFO position-
waypoint queue (cap 20) + per-frame catch-up math walking the body
toward the head node at 2 × motion-table-max-speed (clamped, with
7.5 m/s fallback). Reach @ 0.05m. Duplicate-prune @ 0.05m.
Stall detection: every 5 frames; if progress < 30% of expected,
increment fail counter; > 3 fails → blip-to-TAIL (resolved via
decomp dive of UseTime @ 0x00555F20: tail_ is the snap target,
not head_).
Constants verified from binary at named addresses (not guesses):
MAX_INTERPOLATED_VELOCITY_MOD=2.0, MAX_INTERPOLATED_VELOCITY=7.5,
MIN_DISTANCE_TO_REACH_POSITION=0.20, DESIRED_DISTANCE=0.05.
Composed into RemoteMotion in subsequent task; not yet used.

Phase L.4 closes the "stuck in falling animation on a steep roof" bug
the user reported on 2026-04-30 ("I jump up, I land on it. It should not
even let me land, should just slide with a falling animation"). After
this commit the body no longer sticks to a steep roof when jumping
into it — it slides along the slope while keeping the falling animation.
Two pieces:
1. BSPQuery Path 6 steep-poly slide
When an airborne sphere hits a polygon whose world normal Z is below
FloorZ (≈ 0.6642, slope > ~49°), the previous flow was:
Path 6 SetCollide → Path 4 set_walkable → ContactPlane committed →
body "lands" on the steep poly with Contact bit + falling animation.
This left the player stuck mid-slope because OnWalkable was cleared
but Contact stayed set.
The new branch detects the steep normal in Path 6 BEFORE SetCollide
is called. Instead of entering the landing path, it removes the
into-wall component of the move (project onto the steep face), sets
CollisionNormal + SlidingNormal, and returns Slid. Same shape as
Path 5's step-up fallback and CylinderCollision. The resolver retries;
the sphere is now outside the poly; FindCollisions returns OK;
ValidateTransition commits the slid position. ContactPlane is never
set, so the body stays airborne with falling animation.
2. PlayerMovementController L.3a-bounce carve-out + Inelastic stop
Re-enables the velocity-reflection bounce when the contact normal is
upward-facing but steeper than walkable (0 < N.Z < FloorZ). The base
L.3a rule suppresses bounce on landing transitions to avoid micro-
bounce on flat terrain; that suppression also stuck the player to
too-steep roofs they shouldn't land on. This carve-out re-enables
the reflection specifically for the steep upward case.
Also lands related L.2c precipice / edge-slide work that was in flight:
- TransitionTypes EdgeSlideAfterStepDownFailed: walkable-poly-steep
cliff route + steep-ContactPlane cliff route ordering, so that
CliffSlide fires when the stored walkable polygon itself is too
steep (Path 4 had previously accepted it as a "landing" via the
permissive LandingZ threshold).
- CliffSlide reference-normal selection: prefer LastWalkable, fall back
to LastKnownContactPlane only when walkable, else use world-up. This
prevents the cross(steepN, steepN) = 0 degenerate case that left the
cliff slide as a no-op when both current and last-known were steep.
- Phase 2 / step-down branch / edge-slide branch / cliff-slide
diagnostic helpers gated on ACDREAM_DUMP_EDGE_SLIDE / ACDREAM_DUMP_STEEP_ROOF.
- Two new airborne-mover regression tests in BSPStepUpTests +
PhysicsEngineTests covering wall-slide and edge tangent motion.
DEVIATION FROM RETAIL — DOCUMENTED FOR FOLLOW-UP
The Path 6 steep slide is NOT what retail does. Retail's flow on the
same hit is:
Path 6 SetCollide (no steep check) → Path 4 find_walkable returns
nothing for steep → Phase 3 reset path: restore_check_pos +
kill_velocity → return COLLIDED → validate_transition reverts CheckPos
to CurPos and forces OK.
Net retail behavior: position reverts to pre-failed-move (typically
just below the roof in the common jump-up case), velocity zeroed,
gravity rebuilds Z next frame, body falls back down naturally with
the falling animation. The "freeze" framing I used earlier was wrong;
in the typical case retail just bounces the body off and lets gravity
take over.
Strict retail behavior would match the user's intent better in the
common case AND avoid the bounce-energy-accumulation we saw with the
slide-tangent approach (V grew to ~50 m/s in continuous-contact frames).
However, retail's behavior degenerates in the edge case of an overhead
landing onto a steep slope (body would freeze mid-air above the roof).
This commit ships the slide-tangent fix as an interim "much better"
state per user verification on 2026-04-30. Follow-up work to match
retail strictly: revert Path 6 steep-slide, audit Phase 3 reset to
ensure kill_velocity (matching OBJECTINFO::kill_velocity ->
CPhysicsObj::set_velocity({0,0,0}, 0)) actually fires, and re-test.

Port the first retail precipice-slide slice from named retail/ACE: terrain and BSP walkable hits now preserve polygon vertices, failed step-down edges back-probe to rediscover the walkable polygon, and edge-slide can run precipice/cliff slide instead of only hard-stopping.
Adds pseudocode anchors plus regression coverage for terrain polygon context and loaded-terrain boundary edge-slide.

The "stuck in falling animation against walls" live-test bug (intermittent,
hard to recover from). Two compounding issues, fixed at both layers.
(1) DoStepUp cleared CollisionInfo.ContactPlaneValid unconditionally at
the start of step-up. On step-up FAILURE, RestoreCheckPos restored
the position but the contact plane stayed cleared. Added a save/
restore around the clear so a failed step-up returns the mover to
its pre-attempt grounded state.
(2) ValidateTransition propagated the current frame's invalid contact
state into LastKnownContactPlane via:
ci.LastKnownContactPlaneValid = ci.ContactPlaneValid
This destroyed the prior frame's ground memory whenever the current
contact was momentarily lost (StepUpSlide clears ContactPlane).
Changed to: only OVERWRITE LastKnown when current is valid.
(3) The same ValidateTransition then set
oi.State &= ~(Contact | OnWalkable)
when ContactPlaneValid was false, even if LastKnown was still
valid. Added an "else if (LastKnownContactPlaneValid)" branch that
sets Contact + OnWalkable from LastKnown so the animation system
sees the mover as grounded.
Combined effect: walking into a too-tall wall now consistently slides
along the wall without ever flickering to the falling animation. The
mover's grounded state survives transient ContactPlane invalidation
during the step-up retry cycle.
Retail's `transitional_insert` has different upstream invariants that
keep ContactPlane valid more often, so retail doesn't need the
acdream-specific LastKnown fallback path. ACE has the same pattern as
retail; acdream's per-frame Resolve architecture exposes the gap that
this fix closes.
Tests:
- New D1 regression test: grounded mover into too-tall wall — must
end frame with grounded state preserved.
- New D2 regression test: same scenario — execution time bounded
(<100ms) to catch any future recursion issues.
Files:
- TransitionTypes.cs DoStepUp: save+restore ContactPlane around step-up
- TransitionTypes.cs ValidateTransition: preserve LastKnown + grounded
state from last-known when current is invalid
- BSPStepUpTests.cs: D1, D2 regression tests
Test count 825 → 825 (D1+D2 added in L.2.3 patch series). Build clean.

Port CTransition::step_up (Path 5) and SPHEREPATH::set_collide (Path 6)
from the retail decomp, turning wall-slides into proper step-up climbs
and airborne-to-roof landings.
Path 5 (grounded mover hits polygon):
- StepSphereUp calls DoStepUp which runs DoStepDown with StepUp=true
- DoStepDown now includes the retail Placement validation step
(ACE Transition.cs:731-741) — sphere must not be inside solid geometry
after finding a contact plane; this correctly blocks the tall-wall case
- FindObjCollisions now allocates a local ShadowEntry list per call to
prevent "collection modified" exceptions when DoStepUp recurses back
through TransitionalInsert → FindObjCollisions
- BSPQuery.FindCollisions passes engine through to StepSphereUp
Path 6 (airborne mover hits polygon):
- SpherePath.SetCollide: saves backup pos, records StepUpNormal, sets
WalkInterp=1 — then returns Adjusted so TransitionalInsert retries
- SpherePath.StepUpSlide: clears ContactPlane, sets SlidingNormal for
the tall-wall fallback
- TransitionalInsert Collide branch: re-tests as Placement when
ContactPlaneValid; on failure restores backup and returns Collided
Test fixes (BSPStepUpTests.cs + BSPStepUpFixtures.cs):
- Tests use foot-position convention (CurPos = foot, sphere center =
CurPos + (0,0,r)); from/to corrected from sphere-center to foot coords
- MakeTestEngine terrainZ param: 0f for grounded tests (keeps Contact
state between sub-steps), -50f for airborne/roof tests
- to.X adjusted so sub-steps land sphere inside (not exactly touching)
the wall, avoiding the EPSILON-shrink false-negative edge case
- All 12 BSPStepUp tests now GREEN; full suite 823/823

Adds two files under tests/:
BSPStepUpFixtures.cs — synthetic PhysicsBSPNode trees for four canonical
collision shapes: low step (25 cm), too-tall wall (5 m), flat roof (3 m),
and steep slope (60deg). Pre-builds ResolvedPolygon dicts with correct
polygon_hits_sphere_precise winding (CCW relative to outward normal).
BSPStepUpTests.cs — 11 conformance tests:
A1-A6: baselines that pass before and after implementation (no-hit, geometry
fixture sanity checks).
B1-B3: Phase L.2.1 targets, currently RED (Path 5 wall-slides).
C1-C3: Phase L.2.2 targets, currently RED (Path 6 wall-slides).
