Port of retail's CTransition::check_other_cells at
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:272717-272798. Iterates every non-primary
cell in a candidate set, runs BSPQuery.FindCollisions per cell with
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.
- OK → continue.
Not yet wired into FindEnvCollisions — see next commit. Probe gated
on PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeIndoorBspEnabled (ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP).
Six new unit tests: five against the pure combine helper for each halt
case + one direct CheckOtherCells call exercising the null-BSP guard.

Refactors FindCellList to delegate to a private helper
(BuildCellSetAndPickContaining) that returns BOTH the containing cell
id AND the full candidate HashSet. Public surface gains a new
FindCellSet overload; existing FindCellList behavior is unchanged.
Used by the upcoming Transition.CheckOtherCells (Phase A4) to iterate
every cell the sphere overlaps for per-cell BSP collision. Mirrors
retail's CObjCell::find_cell_list filling both cell_array AND var_4c
at acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:272725.
Three new unit tests cover sphere-fully-inside-primary,
sphere-straddling-portal, and outdoor-seed-neighbour-landcells cases.

ISSUES #83 Phase A1.7. CellTransit.FindCellList returns currentCellId
when no candidate cell's CellBSP contains the sphere center — but
this also fires when the player has walked OUTSIDE the entire
portal-connected indoor graph (e.g., breached a missing wall poly,
walked through a doorway gap). The player's CellId stays stuck on
the old indoor cell whose BSP is now far away, NodeIntersects fails
at the BSP root for every collision query, and no walls block in
their actual location.
Probe evidence (launch-stairs.utf8.log, A1.6 verify):
- Cell 0xA9B40164: 646 indoor-bsp queries, 644 returned OK (99.7%).
No walls firing.
- Player local positions in cell 0xA9B40164 ranged X[-0.66..33.18],
Y[10.68..63.53] — a 34x53m envelope. The player was geometrically
~62m from the cell's world origin while CellId never updated.
Compare to adjacent cells where collision works:
- Cell 0xA9B4015A: 230 queries, 32% hit rate
- Cell 0xA9B40157: 131 queries, 38% hit rate
Fix: after CellTransit.FindCellList returns, verify the resolved
cell's CellBSP actually contains the sphere center via
BSPQuery.PointInsideCellBsp. If not, fall through to the existing
outdoor cell resolution branch (terrain grid + CheckBuildingTransit
for re-entry into a different building).

ISSUES #83 Phase A1.5. ShadowObjectRegistry.Register() assigned each
entity to the outdoor landcell grid (8x8 cells, 24m square) based on
its XY position. For interior EnvCell statics (fireplace, furniture,
sign) hydrated by BuildInteriorEntitiesForStreaming with
ParentCellId = envCellId (a high-cellId interior cell like
0xA9B40121), this meant the shadow got stamped into the OUTDOOR
landcell whose XY they overlapped (e.g., 0xA9B40029).
When the player was OUTSIDE the building in 0xA9B40029, the indoor
chair/fireplace shadow fired collisions in "thin air" outdoors. The
user reported this on Holtburg cottage exteriors after the Phase A1
landblock-stab fallback fix.
Fix: add optional cellScope parameter to Register(). When non-zero
(passed as entity.ParentCellId ?? 0u from the 5 entity-loop call
sites in GameWindow), skip the XY-based landcell loop and register
the shadow ONLY in that cell. Live server-spawn registration at
GameWindow.cs:3137 keeps the XY-based behavior (live entities move
between cells).
Probe evidence (launch-a1-verify.utf8.log, post-A1 capture):
- 71 hits on 0x40B50054 (interior static) in OUTDOOR cell 0xA9B40029.
- 47 hits on 0xA9B47C00 (other Holtburg cottage BSP — legitimate).
- 31 hits on 0x40B50048 / 15 on 0x40B50018 (interior statics).

Wires the WalkMissDiagnostic aggregator + flag into the two emission
sites per docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-21-indoor-walk-miss-probe-design.md.
- [walk-miss] (per-frame, MISS branch of TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane):
foot world+local position, nearest walkable poly with XY-containment
flag and vertical gap, and LandCell terrain probe at the same XY.
- [floor-polys] (one-shot per cell at cache time): walkable poly id,
normal Z, local-XY bbox, plane Z at bbox center.
Both gated on ACDREAM_PROBE_WALK_MISS=1. No physics behavior changes.
The live capture at the Holtburg cottage doorway + inn 2nd floor +
cellar descent disambiguates H1 (multi-cell iteration), H2 (probe
distance), H3 (poly absent / walkable_hits_sphere rejection) for
ISSUES #83.

Pure-function aggregator that, given a CellPhysics.Resolved dict and
a foot local position, picks the nearest walkable-eligible polygon
(normal Z >= FloorZ) and reports XY-containment + signed vertical gap.
Also enumerates walkable polys with local-XY bboxes for the one-shot

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).

Indoor cell BSP queries at TransitionTypes.cs:1442 were calling
BSPQuery.FindCollisions with Quaternion.Identity + defaulted
Vector3.Zero worldOrigin. Inside the BSP, Path 3 (step_sphere_down)
and Path 4 (land-on-surface) use those params to build the
world-space ContactPlane. Result: planes written with D ~ 0 instead
of the cell's world floor Z (e.g. -94.02 for Holtburg cottages).
320 corrupt CP writes per Holtburg session per the [cp-write] probe.
Fix: decompose cellPhysics.WorldTransform once at the call site,
pass the rotation as localToWorld and the translation as
worldOrigin. Mirrors the existing correct pattern at :1808
(FindObjCollisions, passes obj.Rotation + obj.Position).
Retail oracle: BSPTREE::find_collisions (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:323924)
calls Plane::localtoglobal at :323921 before set_contact_plane.
Our TransformNormal + TransformVertices + BuildWorldPlane chain is
the equivalent — it just needs the right rotation + origin.

Spike for the next phase of indoor-walking work: confirm/refute the
hypothesis that FindEnvCollisions's indoor branch rewrites the player's
ContactPlane every frame instead of retaining it across frames (retail's
actual behavior). The previous session shipped 6 commits on a wrong
diagnosis; this probe captures the data BEFORE designing the fix.
Two pieces:
1. Add PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeContactPlaneEnabled flag, gated on
ACDREAM_PROBE_CONTACT_PLANE=1 (also runtime-toggleable). Helper
methods LogCpBoolWrite / LogCpPlaneWrite / LogCpCellIdWrite emit one
[cp-write] line per CP/LKCP field mutation with caller (walked from
the stack with file+line info) when the value actually changes.
2. Convert the 8 ContactPlane group + LastKnownContactPlane group
fields on CollisionInfo from public fields to public properties
with backing fields. Setters call the diagnostic helpers when the
probe is on; getters/setters are inlined when the flag is off.
Storage layout unchanged. No call site changes — grep confirmed no
ref/out passing or sub-field writes.
Build green; tests green at the existing 8-failure baseline (2 BSPStepUp,
6 MotionInterpreter — all unrelated, pre-existing).
Capture command:
ACDREAM_PROBE_CONTACT_PLANE=1 ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP=1 ACDREAM_DEVTOOLS=1
Spike-only — remove when the retention fix lands and the diagnostic
value is captured in the next phase's spec.

Extends the existing [indoor-bsp] probe surface in FindEnvCollisions
with a per-call [indoor-walkable] line gated on
PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeIndoorBspEnabled (no new flag). Logs the
synthesized contact plane, the polyId hit, and the signed Z gap (dz)
between foot and plane.
Lets the visual-verification step distinguish "FindWalkableSphere
picked the right polygon" from "FindWalkableSphere returned a miss
and we fell through to outdoor-terrain backstop", which is critical
for triaging any remaining indoor collision oddities after the BSP
port lands.
Runtime-toggleable via the existing DebugPanel "Indoor BSP probe"
checkbox; zero cost when disabled.

Code review feedback on Task 3 commit 91b29d1:
- TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane: comment explaining why FindWalkableSphere's
adjustedCenter out param is intentionally discarded (ValidateWalkable
recomputes contact geometry from plane + foot position, consistent
with the outdoor terrain path).
- IndoorWalkablePlaneTests: new TryFindIndoorWalkablePlane_WallPolyInBsp_ReturnsFalse
restores integration-level coverage that the renamed NoBsp_ReturnsFalse
lost. Verifies WalkableAllowance gate rejects a wall polygon in the
cell BSP. Steep-poly rejection is also covered at the BSPQuery layer
by FindWalkableSphere_SteepPoly_RejectedByWalkableAllowance.

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.
Closes (pending visual verification): ISSUES #83.

Code review feedback on Task 2 commit 7f55e14:
- Tests 1 and 2 now assert on adjustedCenter.Z (was the wrapper's
primary behavioral contract — sphere placed on polygon plane —
but it was unverified). Math derived from AdjustSphereToPlane:
iDist = (dpPos - radius) / dpMove; new center = center - movement * iDist.
- Test 2 also gains the hitPoly.Plane.Normal.Z assertion that
Test 1 already had.
- Test 4 comment slope-angle clarification.
- BSPQuery.cs FindWalkableSphere section header now notes this is
not a direct retail port (it wraps BSPNODE::find_walkable +
BSPLEAF::find_walkable via the existing FindWalkableInternal).
No behavior change. Build clean; 4/4 tests pass; same 8 pre-existing
failures.

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.

Adds a ref ushort hitPolyId parameter to FindWalkableInternal so callers
can identify which polygon was hit. The leaf branch already iterates
foreach (ushort polyId in node.Polygons); this surfaces it.
No behavior change. Existing callers (StepSphereDown, Path 4 Collide)
pass a discard local. The new BSPQuery.FindWalkableSphere wrapper
(next commit) will consume it.
Prep for indoor walkable-plane BSP port — see spec
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-19-indoor-walkable-plane-bsp-port-design.md
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)

Visual test of Phase 2 portal traversal showed walls still didn't
block from inside buildings. Diagnosis: ResolveCellId was being
called with sp.CheckPos (entity reference, at the feet — world
Z=terrain) instead of sp.GlobalSphere[0].Origin (foot sphere center,
~0.5m above terrain). Combined with the +0.02f Z-bump on cached
cell origins (for render z-fight prevention), the test position
landed at cell-local Z=-0.02 — just below the cell floor — and
PointInsideCellBsp correctly reported "outside" for every cell.
CheckBuildingTransit never added candidates; player CellId stayed
outdoor; indoor cell-BSP collision branch never fired; walls didn't
block.
Retail's check_building_transit uses sphere.Center (the sphere CENTER,
not the entity reference) per the pseudocode at
docs/research/acclient_indoor_transitions_pseudocode.md:222-238.
Three call sites updated (PhysicsEngine x2 inside ResolveWithTransition;
TransitionTypes inside Transition.FindEnvCollisions).
Also adds a [check-bldg] diagnostic line to CheckBuildingTransit (gated
on the existing ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP flag) so future verification
captures show per-portal inside/outside results without needing
another diagnostic flag.

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
note that ResolveCellId bypasses this branch — wired in ResolveCellId
directly.
- Removed unused 'using DatReaderWriter.Types;' from CellTransit.cs
- 2 new CellTransitFindCellListTests integration tests
- 1 new CellTransitCheckBuildingTransitTests test (null-CellBSP guard
case; happy path deferred to visual verification).

New CellTransit static class ports retail's portal-graph cell traversal:
- FindTransitCellsSphere — indoor portal-neighbour walk
- AddAllOutsideCells — outdoor 24m grid expansion
- FindCellList — top-level driver (BFS through portals;
PointInsideCellBsp for final containment)
PhysicsEngine.ResolveOutdoorCellId renamed to ResolveCellId. Body
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

The original Phase E [cell-cache] probe (fda6af7) only showed the BSP root
node's direct poly count, which was always 0 for non-trivial trees (internal
node root). Extending the probe to:
- Recursively walk the BSP tree and count total leaf polys
- Detect unmatched poly IDs (BSP leaves referencing IDs not in our resolved dict)
- Dump the BSP root bounding sphere (center + radius)
- Dump the cell's local AABB (min/max from poly vertices)
- Dump the cell's world origin (cellTransform * (0,0,0))
The extended data made the route-δ diagnosis definitive: Holtburg cells DO
have full physics polygons in their BSPs (e.g. 0xA9B40143 has 14 polys all
resolved, full Z range 0-2.8 m). The bug is upstream — AABB-based cell
containment is too tight to capture a standing player at most thresholds
between rooms, so the indoor cell-BSP branch fires only intermittently.
Retail uses portal traversal (CObjMaint::HandleObjectEnterCell + cell-side
portal data) which propagates CellId at door crossings. Our AABB-containment
shortcut is partial. This diagnostic stays in place as infrastructure for
the follow-up "Indoor portal-based cell tracking" phase.

Every [indoor-bsp] probe line reports result=OK poly=n/a, meaning
BSPQuery.FindCollisions never records a hit polygon. Four hypotheses:
(a) PhysicsPolygons.Count == 0 for all cached EnvCells (empty data),
(b) BSP leaf Polygons IDs don't match PhysicsPolygons dict keys,
(c) ResolvePolygons filters out all polygons (vertex lookups fail or
degenerate normals), or (d) sphere is too far from BSP leaf bounds.
Format analysis rules out (b): retail BSPLEAF::PackLeaf writes
poly_id (not array index) into the BSP leaf ushort list; CPolygon::Pack
writes poly_id as first field; DatReaderWriter reads it as dictionary
key. ACE DatLoader does the same. Keys are consistent end-to-end.
Add ProbeCellCacheEnabled (ACDREAM_PROBE_CELL_CACHE=1) to
PhysicsDiagnostics and a [cell-cache] log line at the end of
CacheCellStruct. One line per cached EnvCell:
[cell-cache] envCellId=0x... physicsPolyCount=N resolvedCount=M
bspRootPolyCount=K bspRootHasChildren=true|false
physicsPolyCount=0 -> hypothesis (a).
resolvedCount < physicsPolyCount -> hypothesis (c).
Non-zero counts + bspRootPolyCount=0 + bspRootHasChildren=true ->
expected (internal node, leaves hold poly refs); then investigate (d).
Non-zero counts + bspRootPolyCount=0 + bspRootHasChildren=false ->
leaf with empty Polygons list, deeper investigation needed.
Cross-referencing cell-cache lines with indoor-bsp lines (same
envCellId) will pin the root cause in the next launch.

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.
Closes#85.

WorldPicker.Pick previously had no occlusion test — any entity along
the click ray within maxDistance was a candidate, including ones
behind walls. Adds the CellBspRayOccluder static helper that
Möller-Trumbore-tests the click ray against every polygon in every
currently-cached EnvCell BSP, returning the nearest wall-hit `t`.
Both Pick overloads gate candidate selection by that wall-t (legacy
ray-sphere via world-space `t`, screen-rect via camera-space clip.W
depth — matching ScreenProjection.TryProjectSphereToScreenRect's
convention).
PhysicsDataCache exposes a new CellStructIds snapshot accessor so the
caller can iterate without needing the private cache dictionary.
CellPhysics.BSP/PhysicsPolygons/Vertices relaxed from required to
nullable so test fixtures can construct a CellPhysics from Resolved
alone without a real DAT BSP object. GameWindow snapshots the loaded
cell physics on each Pick call and passes the occluder callback.
Closes#86.

Adds the [indoor-bsp] probe + ProbeIndoorBspEnabled toggle for the
Indoor walking Phase 1 BSP-cluster investigation. Mirrors the existing
[resolve] / [cell-transit] / [indoor-*] pattern: one log line per
BSPQuery.FindCollisions call from FindEnvCollisions' cell branch,
capturing cell id, sphere local-pos, result TransitionState, and the
hit poly's normal + side-type via the LastBspHitPoly side-channel
(already wired for ProbeBuildingEnabled, now also fires for the indoor
flag).
Toggle via ACDREAM_PROBE_INDOOR_BSP=1 env var or DebugPanel checkbox.
Zero-cost when off.

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).

First application of CLAUDE.md's new Code Structure Rules §5
("Runtime probes belong in diagnostic owner classes"). Migrates the
four ACDREAM_DUMP_STEEP_ROOF call-site env reads into a single
PhysicsDiagnostics.DumpSteepRoofEnabled property initialized from the
env var at type init, with a runtime setter that follows the existing
ProbeResolveEnabled / ProbeCellEnabled / ProbeBuildingEnabled pattern.
Sites migrated:
- AcDream.Core/Physics/PhysicsEngine.cs:637 (KILL-VELOCITY-APPLIED log)
- AcDream.Core/Physics/TransitionTypes.cs:718 (PHASE3-RESET log)
- AcDream.App/Input/PlayerMovementController.cs:1117 (FRAME log)
- AcDream.App/Input/PlayerMovementController.cs:1199 (per-frame bounce log)
Behavior-preservation only. ACDREAM_DUMP_STEEP_ROOF=1 still produces
identical [steep-roof] log output. The class-comment in
PhysicsDiagnostics already anticipated this migration
("Future slices may fold the older ACDREAM_DUMP_* env vars into this
class for unified runtime toggling").
Not yet wired to a DebugVM checkbox — runtime toggling is available
via the property setter for future debugging sessions, but exposing
it on the panel is a 30-second future cut, not in scope here.
Build: green.
Tests: same pass/fail profile as before this commit (8 pre-existing
Core failures unrelated to physics-diagnostics; App.Tests / Core.Net.Tests
/ UI.Abstractions.Tests all green).

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.

Per the B.6 design spec (now retail-grounded on Option A), slice 1 is
pure-additive logging so the next session has a clean trace of what
ACE actually sends to the local player during a server-initiated
auto-walk.
New PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeAutoWalkEnabled static flag, env-var-
initialized from ACDREAM_PROBE_AUTOWALK=1. Probe sites:
[autowalk-out] on SendUse + SendPickUp — the packets that trigger
ACE's CreateMoveToChain when the target is out of WithinUseRadius.
[autowalk-mt] on OnLiveMotionUpdated for _playerServerGuid only —
captures MovementType + MoveToPath origin/min-dist/obj-dist +
moveTowards + speed/runRate. Lets us see exactly the wire data
retail's PerformMovement case 6 (0x00524440) was acting on.
[autowalk-up] on OnLivePositionUpdated for _playerServerGuid only —
cadence + payload of ACE's position broadcasts during auto-walk.
No behavior change. All flags off by default; opt in with the env var
during a focused reproduction. Designed to be mirrored into DebugVM
checkbox state later (parallel to ProbeResolve / ProbeCell / ProbeBuilding)
but not wired yet — env-var-only for the first trace session.
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.

First Holtburg-doorway capture showed all 191 [resolve-bldg] entries
labeled "n/a (cylinder)" — including hits attributed to the building
0xA9B47900 which [entity-source] confirmed was registered as type=BSP.
The label was a probe bug, not a real cylinder route.
Root cause: BSPQuery's grounded-path (Path 5) returns early via
`StepSphereUp(transition, worldNormal, engine)` when no step is already
in progress. The slice-1 side-channel write at line 1546 came AFTER
that early return, so it never fired for the dominant grounded-player
case. Compounding: StepSphereUp recurses into ResolveWithTransition →
FindObjCollisions, whose per-entity `LastBspHitPoly = null` clear
wiped any earlier write before the outer attribution emitter read it.
Fix:
1. BSPQuery Path 5: move LastBspHitPoly write to the top of
`if (hit0 || hitPoly0 != null)` blocks (both foot- and head-sphere),
BEFORE the StepSphereUp early return. Recursion-safe — the inner
resolve's BSP writes will overwrite with the inner entity's poly,
but for the dominant case (same wall hit on both outer and inner)
that's still the correct attribution.
2. TransitionTypes.FindObjCollisions: drop the per-entity clear of
LastBspHitPoly. With BSPQuery now writing at hit-detection time
instead of response-computation time, the side-channel value is
reliable without per-iteration zeroing.
3. TransitionTypes [resolve-bldg] emission: key the "n/a (cylinder)"
label on `obj.CollisionType` directly, not on LastBspHitPoly being
null. A BSP entity with a null poly now logs "n/a (BSP path —
side-channel not written, missing BSPQuery wire site)" so any
future BSPQuery path that's missing the wire is visible in the
trace rather than being silently mis-labeled.
Verified: build green, the 2 slice-1 tests still pass, 8 pre-existing
failures unchanged.
Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-13-l2d-cbuildingobj-collision-design.md
First capture (showing the label bug): launch-l2d-slice1.log lines

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.

The CollisionInfo.CollideObjectGuids list + LastCollidedObjectGuid
fields existed but were never written anywhere in the codebase — slice
2's [resolve] probe found this when 85 hit=yes lines came back with
no obj= attribution.
This commit fills the gap at the only place we have the attribution
data: the per-object iteration in Transition.FindObjCollisions, where
obj.EntityId is in scope right after each per-object BSPQuery /
CylinderCollision call. Two cases trigger an Add():
- result != TransitionState.OK (object hard-blocked transition)
- normal flipped invalid→valid during the call (BSPQuery captured
a slide normal without halting — covers wall-slide cases).
Beyond the diagnostic, this also fixes a quiet structural gap — any
future physics behavior that wants "who did I just collide with"
(PvP exemption sanity check, NPC bump rules, etc.) was previously
flying blind on stub fields. Now the data flows.
Build green. Will re-test the doorway with the same trace to get
the wall's entity id.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extends the existing [resolve] probe line to surface
ci.LastCollidedObjectGuid (hit object) + ci.CollidedWithEnvironment
(terrain hit flag) + ci.CollideObjectGuids.Count (when >1) so the
operator can tell WHICH entity the wall is, not just the wall normal.
Tonight's L.2a slice 1 trace caught a clean wall-slide at the
Holtburg-area doorway (n=(0,1,0), 122 hit=yes lines), but had no way
to attribute the hit to a specific entity — the L.2d sub-direction
call (door collision shape vs building wall mesh) needs the entity id
to pick the right fix. This extension provides it on the next run.
Format change for [resolve] hit field:
Before: hit=yes n=(0.00,1.00,0.00)
After: hit=yes n=(0.00,1.00,0.00) obj=0xCC0CXXXX
hit=yes n=(0.00,1.00,0.00) env
hit=yes n=(0.00,1.00,0.00) obj=0xCC0CXXXX env nObj=3
Pure additive within the existing PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeResolveEnabled
gate. No new env var, no new file. Build green.

New static `AcDream.Core.Physics.PhysicsDiagnostics` holds two
runtime-toggleable flags initialized from env vars:
- ACDREAM_PROBE_RESOLVE=1 — emit one [resolve] line per
PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition call: input/target/output
position+cell, ok-vs-partial, grounded-in, contact-plane status,
wall normal if hit, walkable-polygon valid, moving entity id.
- ACDREAM_PROBE_CELL=1 — emit one [cell-transit] line per
PlayerMovementController.CellId change: old → new cell, current
world position, reason tag (resolver / teleport).
Both also exposed as runtime-toggleable checkboxes in the DebugPanel
"Diagnostics" section. Unlike the existing four Dump-* checkboxes
(which only mirror sticky-at-startup env vars), the two new ones
forward directly to PhysicsDiagnostics — toggling on/off takes
effect on the next physics resolve, no relaunch.
Why now: L.2's plan-of-record (docs/plans/2026-04-29-movement-collision-
conformance.md) explicitly says "Land L.2a diagnostics first. Do not
make another physics change blind." This slice closes the most-load-
bearing gap in L.2a — a general-purpose probe on the resolver outcome
and a cell-transit log — so that later L.2b/c/d/e physics changes can
be evidence-driven instead of guessed. Foundation for the indoor /
dungeon walking trajectory (G.3 unblock).
Pure additive: when both flags are off (default), the probes collapse
to a single static-bool read per resolve, zero log cost. PlayerMovement
Controller's two CellId-mutation sites are now routed through a
private UpdateCellId(reason) helper for diag chokepoint.
Build green, 1032/1040 unit tests pass. The 8 failing tests are
pre-existing on the branch base (verified by stash-and-rerun);
none touch resolver or cell-transit code; all fail identically with
this slice stashed. Investigation deferred to a follow-up.

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.

failures introduced.

- Body slows ("speed decreases"), causing rubber-banding
- Adding a turn motion in that state makes the cycle finally transition
to walking
So either:
- _currNode is reset to a stale node BETWEEN SetCycle and Advance
- _currNode is correctly on the new cycle but its AnimRef is wrong
(e.g., the same Animation as the previous cycle, dat-side issue)
- BuildBlendedFrame reads from somewhere other than _currNode
Adds CurrentNodeDiag + FirstCyclicAnimRefHash properties on
AnimationSequencer that expose the active node's Animation
identity-hash, IsLooping, Framerate, frame range, and FramePosition.
TickAnimations logs them on every SEQSTATE tick (1 Hz throttle, gated
on ACDREAM_REMOTE_VEL_DIAG=1).
The [CURRNODE] line with animRef vs firstCyclicAnimRef proves whether
_currNode is actually on the new cycle's anim or has drifted to
something else. Compared across SetCycle SCFULL log lines + the
following CURRNODE ticks, we can see the exact moment the cycle
diverges from what SetCycle set.
No code-behavior changes. Pure read-only instrumentation. Per
Phase 4.5 of systematic-debugging — STOP attempting fixes; gather
evidence first.

Root cause identified by research-agent read of AnimationSequencer.SetCycle
+ Advance + the per-tick TickAnimations call site:
- SetCycle enqueues transition link + new cycle, then forces _currNode
onto firstNew (the LINK), per the 357dcc0 fix that pinned _currNode
to the most-recently-enqueued node.
- Advance plays the link to completion (~100–300 ms at Framerate 30 ×
link runSpeed) before AdvanceToNextAnimation moves _currNode forward
to the cycle.
- For Walk↔Run direct toggles faster than the link's drain time, the
next UM arrives, SetCycle restarts _currNode on a fresh link, and
the cycle node at the queue tail is never reached.
- BuildBlendedFrame returns frames from the link the entire time —
user observes the link's interpolation pose ("blips forward in
walking animation"), never the new Walk or Run cycle.
Confirmed by [SCFULL] currNodeIsCyclic=False after every direct
Walk↔Run transition in launch-39-candidate.log.
Fix: when prev motion AND new motion are both locomotion cycles
(WalkForward, WalkBackward, RunForward, SideStep L/R), land
_currNode on _firstCyclic (the new cycle node) instead of firstNew
(the link), and remove the just-enqueued link from the queue.
Conditional on BOTH being locomotion to avoid regressing cases that
DO need the link to play:
- Idle→Run (link is the wind-up pose)
- Falling→Ready (landing animation)
- Ready→Sitting/Crouching/Sleeping
- Combat substates (attack/parry/ready transitions)
Reverted commit c06b6c5 demonstrated that unconditional link skip
breaks all of those — this fix is narrower.
Retail reference: cdb live trace 2026-05-03 of a Walk→Run direct
transition logged add_to_queue(45000005) followed by
add_to_queue(44000007) with truncate_animation_list never firing —
matching the observed semantics this fix implements.
42/42 AnimationSequencer tests pass. The 8 pre-existing test
failures elsewhere on the branch (BSPStepUp, MotionInterpreter
WalkBackward, etc.) are unrelated to this change.

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).

Phase 1 of #42 root-cause investigation per the handoff doc. We
A/B confirmed (commit b37b713) that the ~1m XY drift on retail-
observed stationary jumps comes from inside ResolveWithTransition
when the per-tick airborne sweep runs (CellId fix at GameWindow.cs
3467). What we don't yet know: whether the drift originates in
H1 (initial-overlap depenetration along a tilted-terrain normal),
H2 (step-down probe firing despite isOnGround=false), or H3
(EdgeSlide on near-vertical motion grazing a wall).
This diagnostic gates a one-line Console trace on
ACDREAM_AIRBORNE_DIAG=1 AND !isOnGround so it doesn't pollute
grounded movement, and prints:
[SWEEP] airborne pre=(...) target=(...) post=(...)
cell=PRE->POST ok=BOOL deltaXY=(dx,dy)
cp=valid|none cpN=(nx,ny,nz)
deltaXY = post - target — for a clean stationary +Z jump we
expect (0,0). Non-zero with cp=valid and a tilted cpN confirms
H1; non-zero direction tracking actor facing instead of terrain
orientation points to H2/H3.
Code-walk findings recorded for the next investigation pass:
- K-fix7 already prevents seeding ContactPlane on entry for
airborne (PhysicsEngine.cs:493-519), so step 0's AdjustOffset
cannot consume a stale plane.
- BUT ValidateWalkable can still SET ContactPlane during step 0's
collision pass via the "below plane" branch (TransitionTypes.cs
1320-1352) when sphere lowPoint dips below the tilted terrain
triangle. Step 1's AdjustOffset would then consume that fresh
plane and the "moving away from contact plane" branch
(TransitionTypes.cs:1749-1754) projects the +Z offset along the
slope normal, redirecting Z motion into XY.
- Step-down branch is correctly gated on oi.Contact (matches
retail CTransition::transitional_insert at named-retail
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:273249, "(state & 1) == 0" returns
OK without firing step-down).
- Retail's IS_VIEWER_OI=0x4 branch in OBJECTINFO::validate_walkable
(acclient.h:6185) is never set anywhere in the named decomp,
so the airborne path runs the same code in retail as in acdream.
User repros at flat plaza / east hillside / north hillside; the
direction-correlation of deltaXY with local terrain orientation
identifies which hypothesis is firing.
Build green; 13 PhysicsEngine tests green. No behavior change
when ACDREAM_AIRBORNE_DIAG is unset.

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.
Spec tree: 17 research docs (00–14) under docs/research/2026-05-04-l3-port/.

End-of-session cleanup of the 2026-05-03 remote-motion debug session.
Documentation:
- CLAUDE.md: add ⚠️ DO-NOT-ENABLE warning for ACDREAM_INTERP_MANAGER=1
in the diagnostic env-vars list. Add an "Outbound motion wire format"
section documenting acdream's WalkForward+HoldKey.Run encoding (which
ACE auto-upgrades to RunForward on relay) so future sessions don't
re-derive it.
- docs/ISSUES.md: file two new issues:
* #39 — Run↔Walk cycle transition not visible on observed
retail-driven player remotes when watched from acdream. Root cause
located: ApplyServerControlledVelocityCycle is gated by
IsPlayerGuid, excluding the exact case where ACE doesn't broadcast
a UM (shift toggle while direction key held). Fix sketch ~10
lines, separate commit. Cross-references the four-agent
investigation prompt.
* #40 — ACDREAM_INTERP_MANAGER=1 env-var path regressed. Documents
why (e94e791 conflated MoveOrTeleport with update_object), the
visible symptoms (staircase Z, position blips), and why
Commit B (039149a)'s ResolveWithTransition port was insufficient
(env-var path also clears body.Velocity → no horizontal Euler
motion → sweep input is queue catch-up only, which stair-steps).
Fix path = separate L.3 follow-up to re-integrate PositionManager
additively on top of the legacy chain.
Code:
- GameWindow.cs:6042: prepend a ⚠️ REGRESSED warning block at the top
of the env-var per-frame branch so anyone reading the code is
immediately aware not to enable it. Cross-references ISSUES.md #40.
- AnimationSequencer.cs: re-throttle [SCFAST]/[SCFULL] diagnostics to
0.5s per instance (rolled back from A.1's unthrottled experiment).
Already served its purpose; throttled is enough for steady-state
diagnostics. Restore _lastSetCycleDiagTime field.
No behavior change for any current launch (env-var unset = legacy
path unchanged). Build green; baseline test failures (8) unchanged
from prior commit, none introduced by this session.

Commit A's log refuted H2 (UPCYCLE never fires for player guids — gated
by IsPlayerGuid), H4 (SCNULLFALLBACK count = 0), H5 (PartTemplate
counts always match anim PartFrames). The remaining puzzle:
SCFULL Ready=23 dominates (all motions: 41 total)
SETCYCLE picker logged: only 9 transitions to Ready
Difference (≥14 extra Ready full-rebuilds) suggests a non-picker source,
OR many UMs arriving with no ForwardCommand bit being routed through
the picker's `else if (!command.HasValue) { fullMotion = Ready; }` at
GameWindow.cs:2671-2673, knocking the cycle back to Ready mid-Walk/Run.
This commit removes the 0.5s throttle on SCFAST and SCFULL (every call
now logs) and adds [UM_RAW] at OnLiveMotionUpdated entry to print:
- stance / fwd / fwdSpd / side / turn / movementType / isMoveTo
- sequencer.CurrentMotion at call time
per UM, gated on ACDREAM_REMOTE_VEL_DIAG=1.
Combined: one repro pass tells us (a) UM arrival rate per remote, (b)
which UMs lack ForwardCommand, (c) whether the picker is the source of
the 14+ extra Ready calls. Commit B is then a one-line fix.

Adds five diagnostics, no behavior changes. All gated on existing
ACDREAM_REMOTE_VEL_DIAG=1 env var. Plan at
~/.claude/plans/yes-make-a-plan-parsed-axolotl.md.
Five hypotheses surviving from the four-agent investigation
(docs/research/2026-05-03-remote-anim-cycle/investigation-prompt.md):
H1 SEQSTATE silently swallowed by OMEGA_DIAG sharing throttle clock
H2 ApplyServerControlledVelocityCycle races UM-driven SetCycle per UP
H3 SetCycle fast-path returns without updating _currNode
H4 GetLink/GetCycle null → defensive fallback lands on stale head
H5 PartTemplate.Count diverges from anim PartFrames.Count → silent
identity-quat freeze
Diagnostics added (all log lines are grep-prefixed):
D1 Split LastSeqStateLogTime field for SEQSTATE — own throttle.
Foundational: every other diag depends on SEQSTATE telling truth.
D2 [UPCYCLE] inside ApplyServerControlledVelocityCycle, +
[UPCYCLE_SRC] at the call site (wire vs synth velocity).
D3 [SCFAST] in fast-path return, [SCFULL] at full-rebuild end.
D4 [SCNULLFALLBACK] in the null-data defensive fallback.
D5 [PARTSDIAG] with pt.Count / seqFrames.Count / setup.Parts.Count /
anim.PartFrames[0].Frames.Count + sum-of-components hash.
Repro recipe:
$env:ACDREAM_INTERP_MANAGER = "1"
$env:ACDREAM_REMOTE_VEL_DIAG = "1"
dotnet run … 2>&1 | Tee-Object tools/diag-logs/walkrun-<ts>.log
Then watch a retail-driven character through acdream and exercise:
idle → W run → release → shift+W walk → release → demote → promote →
run+turn (this last one is the H1 trap).
Decision matrix in the plan file maps each [TAG] signature to a
specific Commit B fix.
