Move Position, Vector, State, Movement, and equal-generation CreateObject routing out of GameWindow while preserving per-channel authority, ForcePosition acknowledgement, and motion-runtime ownership. Add adversarial authority and exact-wire coverage so reentrant updates and GUID reuse cannot publish stale state.
Own every borrowed PartArray frame across callbacks, version presentation state across appearance rebinding, reject recursive phase consumption, and preserve static MotionDone when only a stale visual pose is discarded.
Port CPartArray::UpdateParts minimum-count behavior: preserve the prior visual and rigid transforms for setup parts absent from a short authored AnimFrame, including the initial hydrated rest pose.

Introduce a tested controller for selection mutations, target-mode interception, outbound ordering, Use/PickUp lifetime, and live-incarnation cleanup, plus narrow movement and WorldSession transport adapters.
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.
Route F-key pickup through the same ItemHolder backpack placement entry point as double-click activation so the inventory reserves the destination slot before the request is sent.
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.
Resolve the live-entity spatial broadphase at snapshot time so retained UI construction cannot capture GameWindow's empty bootstrap GpuWorldState. Add a replacement-owner regression test covering the exact compass-without-blips failure.

Compose destination readiness and lifecycle telemetry behind one App-layer coordinator so login and portal begin, preparation, materialization, visibility, completion, and cancellation cannot drift apart in GameWindow wiring.
Send the active character id, drain until the authoritative server confirmation, then emit retail's zero-sequence connection disconnect with the negotiated receiver iteration. The connected gate now waits for ACE to remove the exact UDP session before reconnecting, eliminating fixed-delay races.
Make initial login and portal arrival consume one WorldRevealReadinessBarrier that joins near-tier mesh publication, destination composite uploads, and collision residency before normal world geometry becomes visible. This ports retail SmartBox's blocking-cell completion edge into the asynchronous client instead of exposing a ground-only login.
Add focused outdoor, indoor, texture, and invalid-claim tests; update the retail pseudocode, architecture, divergence record, issue ledger, roadmap baseline, and synchronized agent guidance.

Drive turn, movement, jump, and combat through the production InputDispatcher so connected Release testing works without an interactive Windows desktop. Track held automation actions through normal completion and every shutdown path.
Add a seven-destination ACE route with post-liveness memory, allocation, update, fatal-log, outbound-movement, and graceful-close gates. Record dynamic ACE population changes as context instead of a false lifetime oracle, and document the accepted rebaseline.

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.

Process animation completion at the retail process_hooks boundary, then run targeting, movement, PartArray completion, and PositionManager in the named UpdateObjectInternal order for local, remote, hidden, and position-less animated objects. Retire TS-42 with deterministic conformance coverage.\n\nCo-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
Preserve sub-millisecond frame deltas with a command-local compensated clock so uncapped diagnostic routes do not outrun materialization and settling. Keep sleep boundaries inclusive, wait timeouts strict, and handle long-duration and invalid-delta cases deterministically.
Record the aligned seven-destination connected route with a full turn at every stop. Release build succeeds and all 6,308 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Replace scheduler-quantized software sleeps with a reusable Windows high-resolution deadline timer, expose pacing in the frame profiler, and make shutdown wake every persistent mesh worker without losing the shared signal.
Preserve retail alpha order while using a stable radix, skip duplicate deferred-alpha SSBO packing, pack light sets, cache static selection descriptors, and retire historical material groups at the whole-frame boundary. The fixed dense-Caul sample improved from roughly 9-12 ms CPU to 5.3-6.2 ms without reducing visual quality.
Release build succeeds with zero warnings and all 6,300 tests pass with five intentional skips. Three independent retail, architecture, and adversarial reviews are clean; the post-review connected route remains pending because local ACE is offline.

Port retail's 25-second leave-visibility lifetime over canonical live records, retaining spatially resident and owned entities while using the conservative ACE visibility envelope for nonresident records. Route expiry through the normal generation-safe F747 teardown so animations, effects, physics, and render owners unwind symmetrically.
Replace the append-only modern mesh buffer with coalescing vertex/index ranges and upload each mesh's vertices once instead of once per material. Released zero-reference meshes can now reuse GPU ranges after portal and cache churn.
A connected five-region round trip returned animation ownership to baseline, recreated the starting region on revisit, and held normal FPS. Release build succeeds and all 5,927 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Carry each billboard particle's resident texture handle in the instance ABI so stable retail alpha ordering can batch mixed textures without rebinding and redrawing each short texture run. Keep DAT blend transitions as the only billboard draw boundary.
The connected 0xC95B stress scene improved from 6 FPS / 171 ms to about 153 FPS / 6.6 ms at the same roughly 21,000 visible entities. Release build succeeds and all 5,916 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Queue translucent world GfxObj batches and scene particles in one stable far-to-near stream using transformed DAT sort centers, then drain it at retail's landscape and final-world boundaries. Preserve authored blend, cull, lighting, opacity, and adjacent-only batching so particles behind lifestones are composited through the crystal instead of overpainting it.
Release build succeeds and all 5,914 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Replace the projected Setup-sphere rectangle and independent physics-wall ray with retail's render-coupled picker: only visible server-object parts participate, each exact drawing sphere broad-phases the camera-eye ray, and first-in-DAT-order visual polygon hits globally outrank sphere fallbacks.
Replace the devtools-only procedural triangles with the retained gameplay VividTargetIndicator using retail client-enum surfaces 1..4, radar-blip colorization, Setup selection-sphere framing, and the exact eight-pixel viewport clamp.
Release build succeeds with zero warnings and all 5,886 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Keep external-container visibility tied to the signed surface gap between the player and container physics cylinders, matching gmExternalContainerUI's authored UseRadius range watcher. This prevents a valid ViewContents response from being closed at ACE's natural approach endpoint.
Port Position::cylinder_distance and ACCWeenieObject::ObjectsInRange into Core with conformance coverage for 3-D separation, overlap, mode precedence, and inclusive boundaries.
Release build succeeds and all 5,895 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Keep active-combat AutoWield intent through ACE's pre-wield transition and queued trailing peace notice, while allowing explicit combat input to supersede it.
Queue one-shot item interactions until the frame's movement edge has been serialized, so a movement release cannot cancel ACE's server-side corpse approach callback.
Release build succeeds and all 5,890 runnable tests pass with five intentional skips.

Port retail's first-slot ShowPendingInPlayer path for double-click loot and carry the current owned-container destination through deferred pickup. Retire the previous ground-container view as soon as a replacement is requested so its range close cannot cancel ACE's active MoveTo chain.
Preserve active-combat weapon intent across ACE's authoritative wand-to-missile stance tail while leaving peace-mode switches unchanged.
Release build succeeds and all 5,885 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Route corpse Use through the shared ItemHolder policy so Stuck corpses open instead of being sent as pickup requests. Restore the framed, horizontally resizable external-container strip and use a compact initial width. Port retail's target-list pending item projection so loot is marked in the chosen inventory slot without changing canonical ownership before the server confirms.

Add the ClientUISystem ground-object lifecycle, authoritative root and nested ViewContents projections, replacement and close semantics, and the DAT-authored gmExternalContainerUI strip for chests and corpses.
Route double-click loot and full or partial drag transfers through the shared retail item policy without optimistic external ownership. Remove the incorrect NoLongerViewingContents behavior from owned side packs and retire AP-106/#196.
Release build succeeds and all 5,875 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Resolve DAT-authored particle ranges from the hardware GfxObj, apply retail distance and completed-cell visibility gates, and preserve the exact finite/infinite off-view update semantics. This removes dense-world simulation work without shortening terrain, entity, fog, or streaming distance.
Publish doorway-clipped outdoor cells through a focused frame controller, retain effect cell identity for outdoor statics, reject hidden emitters before particle-slot scans, and offer an explicit opt-in Extended particle range.
Release build succeeds and all 5,857 tests pass with five intentional skips. Retail-conformance, architecture, and adversarial review cycles are clean; connected Aerlinthe visual/performance gate pending.
