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.

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.

The first commit converted the four members the issue named and left the other
sites alone, reasoning that none had been observed failing. A 20-run
complete-solution baseline disproved that within minutes:
run 2 LiveEntityRuntimeTests.AnimationView_HotSpatialTraversal…
run 14 StaticRenderProjectionJournalTests.ActiveAnimatedSynchronization…
run 18 StaticRenderProjectionJournalTests.ActiveAnimatedSynchronization…
run 19 CurrentRenderSceneOracleTests.SurfaceOverrideFingerprint…
Both new names are the same shape as the four — one warm call, then a
thousand-iteration loop inside the measured window — and neither had been
recorded anywhere. "Not observed failing" only ever meant "not yet observed",
and leaving known-shape sites in place would have guaranteed the acceptance gate
failed. Run 19 is the sharper lesson: the issue named
`SurfaceOverrideFingerprint_DictionaryHotPathAllocatesNothing`, and the first
commit converted a *different* test in that same file, so the actually-named
member was still on the old shape. Matching by file was not matching by test.
Every strict-zero site in the assembly is now on the probe — ten tests. Two came
out stricter rather than merely steadier:
`StaticRenderProjectionJournalTests` was measuring a synchronise whose journal
does **not** coalesce. Repeating it grew the journal by 1,000 entries per call —
192,000 by the end of a probe run — so the steady state the test claimed to
measure did not exist and the single-call window had been hiding it. Its step is
now the whole frame cycle, synchronise *and* drain, which puts `DrainTo` inside
the measured window for the first time and asserts the journal ends empty.
`RetailInboundEventDispatcherTests` asserted a hard-coded 1,001 callbacks. It
now counts its own dispatches and pins the callback count against that, so the
assertion still proves the fast path ran the callback every time without being
coupled to a loop bound that no longer exists.
Left alone deliberately: the four sites asserting a tolerance rather than zero —
`CellViewDedupTests` and `PortalProjectionTests`. Their ceilings already absorb
this noise and none has flaked; changing a bound in either direction is a
separate decision from fixing a measurement. Worth noting that
`PortalProjectionTests`' ceiling exists explicitly to tolerate "a
tiered-JIT/ArrayPool bookkeeping transition ... to the first measured batch",
which is exactly what the probe removes, so it could probably be tightened to
zero now — recorded in the issue rather than done here.
Solution build 0 warnings / 0 errors; App suite 3,941 passed / 3 skipped.

Move remote-motion construction, CreateObject vector initialization, final simulation-component retirement, and the combined J5 ownership ledger into Runtime. Delete App compatibility views and moved-state reconstruction while preserving the existing graphical projection and retail update order.
Move projectile component identity, prediction invalidation, spatial worksets, authoritative corrections, and the retail physics step into AcDream.Runtime. Keep App as the DAT-shape and presentation adapter so ACE outcomes and visible behavior remain unchanged.
Issue stable Runtime identities at canonical registration, publish entity and inventory commits through one generation-stamped synchronous stream, and make graphical adapters borrow the same direct views and events as a no-window host. Preserve exact projection teardown and retail mutation order while removing App-side event reconstruction.
Make the hard-recenter ordering fixture independent of the production two-millisecond frame budget so its injected-failure gate is deterministic.

Introduce one presentation-free RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime for the exact entity directory and ClientObjectTable. Make GameWindow, graphical projections, retained UI, interaction, session routing, create/delete integration, and reset borrow that owner while preserving synchronous retail ordering, dormant retention, and retry semantics.

Carry RuntimeEntityKey through spatial residency, visibility transitions, rebucketing, quiescence, landblock retirement, and origin recentering. This prevents stale incarnation edges from mutating a replacement projection while retaining the static DAT-entity path.
Validated by 104 focused ownership/streaming tests, the Release solution build, and 8,444 complete Release tests with five existing skips.

Move the presentation-free inbound physics timestamp/snapshot authority and parent-relation state into AcDream.Runtime.Entities without changing their control flow. Move their dedicated tests with them and keep App consumers as borrowers during the staged J3 cutover.
Validated by 26 focused Runtime tests, 232 focused App tests, the Release solution build, and 8,429 complete Release tests with five existing skips.

Move render-hit validation, live target classification, closest-hostile search, selection spheres, use/pickup gates, range checks, and approach parameters behind a read-only App-layer query owner. GameWindow now supplies runtime seams and delegates instead of owning those algorithms.
Carry local WorldEntity identity through render hits, lighting pulses, and deferred movement actions so GUID reuse cannot target a replacement. Reset all session-owned selection and ItemHolder state and prevent combat auto-target during teardown.
Restore the named-retail object update order across local, remote, static, projectile, animation, shadow, teleport, and effect lifetimes. Separate authoritative root commits from spatial rebucketing, preserve per-owner hook/FIFO ordering, and remove update-path allocations with exact lifecycle and residency gates.
Add deterministic conformance, adversarial lifetime, GUID-reuse, pending-cell, quaternion, timestamp, and allocation coverage. Release build is warning-free and all 6,446 tests pass with five intentional skips; retail, architecture, and adversarial reviews are clean.

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.

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.
