Both chains pinned by the live [vendor-diag] run (vendor-diag.log)
after three code-reading rounds each failed:
The split bar: ACE serializes descStackSize=1 for EVERY browse row
(live wire, log 343-348) — the R1-era "ACE never populates desc"
claim is retracted with the line quoted. Retail's vendor sites read
pwd._maxStackSize directly (four sites, incl. UpdateItemsList
@0x004c1ea0 stamping min(remaining, _maxStackSize));
ResolveAuthoredStackSize flips to max-first for its vendor-only
consumers. Taper ceiling 1000, scarab 100, seed 1 for exempt.
Pricing still reads the desc (per-1 values on ACE).
Walk-to-use: the local player's getObjectA seam was bound to
TryGetPhysicsHost, which resolves only INSTALLED physics hosts — a
never-animated vendor has none, so TargetManager.SetTarget got null,
the MoveToObject armed with zero nodes, and UseTime never dispatched.
The log's natural=False completions were the user's own movement keys
(retail-correct input-edge cancels); attempt 4 worked because the
greeting animation had installed a host. RuntimePhysicsState gains
the retail CObjectMaint::GetObjectA seam (bound canonical resolver
with installed-host fallback); the graphical host binds the SAME
lazy-minimal-host resolver every remote already uses — whose own doc
comment names this exact never-animated hazard. The reservation
release was already correct (2b premise refuted with evidence); the
production-wiring invariants are now pinned by four new tests
including the pre-fix pathology as a permanent sabotage control.
AP-169 rewritten a second time, honestly. The [vendor-diag] probe
family (ACDREAM_DUMP_VENDOR) lands env-gated for future live triage.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,536 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Move local teleport, player-mode, animation, shadow, and sealed-dungeon lifetimes out of GameWindow. Make player-mode entry transactional and isolate approach completions by controller lifetime and approach generation so stale callbacks cannot affect replacements.

Bind queued actions and pending inventory requests to exact live incarnations, separate optimistic placement from authoritative responses, and serialize retail-style inventory ownership across UI surfaces.

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.
