Appends the copy-paste kickoff prompt for the next session: pursue the principled
P1 fix for the cellar-lip cell-resolver ping-pong (demote ResolveCellId / make the
swept curr_cell the per-frame membership authority), NOT a stickiness band-aid.
Captures the evidence, apparatus, retail anchors, do-not list, and test baseline.

Instrumented acdream at the cellar lip (ACDREAM_DUMP_STEPUP=1): step-up WORKS
(518 attempts, 220 SUCCESS landing the candidate on the cottage floor Z=94.0,
matching retail's landings), but the committed CurPos never advances -- every
success is reverted, and [cell-transit] shows ResolveCellId ping-ponging every
tick at the 3-cell junction (0xA9B40175<->0174<->0171, reason=resolver). So the
wedge is a MEMBERSHIP cell-resolution instability reverting a working step-up --
NOT a collision/step-up bug, NOT edge-slide.
Notably this contradicts the master-plan P1 claim that ResolveCellId was demoted
out of the per-frame path: it is STILL driving per-frame cell changes here and is
unstable. Fix direction = the parked, approval-gated (a) ResolveCellId
demotion/stickiness (membership), now justified as a real bug by live evidence.
Collision-side fixes (abbd761 B1, 0935a31 slide_sphere) are correct + kept.

Live retail cdb trace (tools/cdb/cellar-corner-escape.cdb) of the Holtburg
cottage cellar-top corner decodes the ground truth: retail escapes by
step_sphere_up->step_up (196x vs 38 near-misses), transitioning the contact
plane from the ramp (N.z=0.78) onto the flat cottage floor (N.z=1.0, 76
landings). acdream slides at the lip and never makes that ramp->floor
transition -> the intermittent cellar wedge.
So the remaining cellar bug is the #98-core step-up-onto-cottage-floor
(DoStepDown / step_sphere_down / find_walkable), which the shipped B1 (abbd761)
+ slide_sphere (0935a31) fixes got close to but didn't finish. Door still
blocks; generic step-up climbs; cellar went always-stuck -> works-mostly.
Next (handoff doc): instrument acdream's OWN corner path (does step_up fire at
the lip and fail to land on the cottage floor?) before porting the lip-climb --
no guessing (#98 saga rule).
