User reported that even with the Phase 4.9 ack pump, acdream's
character still rendered to other clients as the purple loading haze.
Spent another round in holtburger's references and found two more
gaps in the post-EnterWorld handshake:
1. Server sends DddInterrogation (game opcode 0xF7E5) and waits for
the client to acknowledge dat-list versions. We never replied.
Build the canonical empty response (12 bytes: opcode + language=1
+ count=0 lists) and ship it as soon as DddInterrogation arrives.
2. LoginComplete was being sent immediately after CharacterEnterWorld
in Phase 4.8, which is too early — the server hasn't finished
creating the player object yet so it ignores LoginComplete and
the player stays in transition state. The correct trigger is the
server's PlayerCreate (0xF746) game message for our character;
that's when holtburger fires send_login_complete (see references/
holtburger/.../client/messages.rs::PlayerCreate handler).
Wired both into ProcessDatagram. Removed the unconditional
LoginComplete from the EnterWorld flow. Added a _loginCompleteSent
latch so re-PlayerCreate (e.g., across portal teleports) doesn't
re-fire LoginComplete during the same session.
Reference repo cited per the new CLAUDE.md guidance — holtburger is
the authoritative client-behavior reference. Should have looked there
sooner; this would have saved the Phase 4.8 false fix.
220 tests still green.
