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.

Introduce LiveEntityRuntime as the canonical owner of each accepted server-object incarnation, stable local identity, timestamped state, parent relations, runtime components, and exactly-once teardown. Split logical registration from rebucketing so pending landblocks, equipment attachment, pickup re-entry, and GUID replacement reuse the same entity and effect owners.
Keep canonical materialized and visible target/radar views distinct, preserve retail leave_world versus exit_world semantics, gate root simulation while cell-less, and track transitional pre-Create F754 owners through delete and session reset. Remove stale-spawn rehydration and make GpuWorldState spatial-only for live objects.
Add lifecycle, generation, pending, unload, attachment, event-publication, local-ID, rollback, and effect-cleanup coverage; update architecture, milestones, memory, and the divergence register.

Parse the complete PhysicsDesc plus F754/F755 packets, correct every PhysicsState bit, and gate all nine retail update channels with generation-safe immutable snapshots. Preserve ForcePosition, teleport, placement, velocity, parent, pickup, delete, and same-generation CreateObject ordering from the named client.
Separate accepted logical lifecycle notifications from retained UI qualities, make GUID replacement and session reset clear every projection exactly once, and add packet, wraparound, malformed-input, parent FIFO, canonical-position, reconnect, and GUID-reuse conformance coverage.

acdream accumulated every CreateObject from every town visited and never pruned by
distance/time (only on server DeleteObject / respawn de-dup), so the entity tables +
the O(N^2) TickAnimations scan grew with each hop and sank FPS (confirmed in Release).
Faithful port of holtburger liveness.rs (ACE_DESTRUCTION_TIMEOUT_SECS=25,
CONSERVATIVE_VISIBILITY_DISTANCE_M=384): a world entity is evicted only after being
>384m AND outside the 3x3 landblock neighborhood for 25s continuous (arm-on-leave /
clear-on-return). Logic in a pure, unit-tested EntityVisibilityCuller; GameWindow
wires a 1Hz tick that snapshots the world entities + player and tears each evicted
guid down through the existing pruner. Player + held/equipped/contained items are
excluded (player by guid; inventory items never carry a world position so they never
enter the culled map). A re-created object starts fresh (deadline cleared on remove).
Skipped during a teleport hold (frozen player position). AD-32 registered.

Wires the dormant TeleportAnimSequencer as the transit driver: on PlayerTeleport
the player holds in PortalSpace behind a full-screen fade (FadeOverlay) until the
destination terrain is resident (TeleportWorldReady, gated on the priority-applied
landblock), then materializes (Place), and after the world fades back in regains
control + acks the server (FireLoginComplete). No movement resolves against the
empty world, so the outbound cell frame can't corrupt. Outdoor changes from
place-immediately back to hold-until-resident (now fast, not a band-aid).
- FadeOverlay: fullscreen NDC black quad, alpha = ShowTunnel ? 1 : FadeAlpha.
- Retires TeleportArrivalController + its 2 tests (TAS subsumes the driver role).
- Divergence register: AD-2 updated to the new mechanism; AD-31 (fade vs swirl).

User-tested: the Slice 2 'hold outdoor until landblock loaded' gate made
EVERY outdoor teleport a ~10 s freeze, because the destination landblock
does NOT load fast during the hold (lbs=0 the whole time — the #138
streaming gap + _datLock starvation from the CreateObject flood). The hold
was band-aiding a broken/slow foundation rather than fixing it, and it never
actually prevented the #145 edge cascade anyway (it force-snapped onto
NO-LANDBLOCK after the timeout regardless).
Reverts ad8c24e..c880973 to the pre-Slice-2 state (00ef47e): outdoor places
immediately again (fast teleports). The genuine bug found along the way —
IsLandblockLoaded queried the wrong key form (& 0xFFFF0000 vs the stored
| 0xFFFF) — is preserved in the history (c880973) and will be re-applied when
we re-introduce a proper hold ON A FIXED FOUNDATION.
Decision (user, 2026-06-21): fix the foundation FIRST — fast/complete
streaming during teleport (#138), the post-teleport lost-collision bug, and
the FPS leak (Work item C) — then revisit the teleport-flow animation. Slice 1
(the pure TeleportAnimSequencer) stays in (dormant, unwired, harmless).

Portals only worked once per session: teleporting OUT of a dungeon
mis-rooted the player into the SOURCE dungeon's coordinate frame, so every
move was sent dungeon-framed and ACE rejected it ("failed transition") —
the player couldn't move, never reached a portal, and the world wouldn't
re-render (only skybox).
Root cause: acdream's streaming-relative frame recenters on teleport, but
resident physics landblocks keep their load-time world-offset. After
recentering onto the outdoor destination, the collapsed source dungeon
(offset 0,0 as the prior center) and the destination (offset 0,0 as the
new center) overlap, and the Z-agnostic outdoor cell-snap returns the
dungeon for both the arrival placement and every per-frame resolve.
Fix (server-authoritative teleport placement):
- Drop the stale source center landblock from physics at the teleport
recenter (GameWindow.OnLivePositionUpdated) so the resolve falls through
to the server position (Resolve NO-LANDBLOCK verbatim) until the
destination streams in.
- Place outdoor teleports immediately (TeleportArrivalRules) — holding is
futile because streaming does not progress during a PortalSpace hold.
- Clear a dangling CellGraph.CurrCell when its landblock is removed
(PhysicsEngine.RemoveLandblock) — otherwise the dungeon-streaming gate
keeps streaming collapsed onto the gone dungeon (only skybox renders).
Keeps DungeonStreamingGate (gate suppression during the hold). Indoor
(dungeon-entry) placement is unchanged (cell-keyed, IsSpawnCellReady).
User-verified: in->out->re-enter works repeatedly, no ACE errors, world
renders. Remaining facets (server objects + own avatar not rendering after
a teleport-out) are entity render/lifecycle — split to #138.
Registers AP-36 + AD-2 updated. New: DungeonStreamingGate (+4 tests),
TeleportArrivalRules (+4 tests). Build + 2727 tests green.
