61e959169b fix #266: retail run-rate 800 branch is exact-equality sentinel, not a cap
Raw byte decode of MovementSystem::GetRunRate (0x006b0950, PDB-paired
binary): fild skill; fcom [800f]; fnstsw; test ah, 0x44; jp general —
the C2/C3 parity idiom whose 18/4 fall-through executes ONLY at
skill == 800 exactly. ACE read this as >= 800 ('max run speed?') and
Campaign P P1 inherited that misread when BN dropped the arithmetic,
flat-lining every maxed character at 4.5 (retail-true ~3.70, +21%) and
erasing the vitae differential (both 10200 and 15225 sat above 800).

The [stat-chain] live capture proved the enchant chain correct end to
end (vitae 0.67 -> eff run 10200 -> controller), isolating the formula.
General path byte-verified: (loadMod*(skill/(skill+200)*11)+4)/scaling/4.
InqMaxRunRate's skill=9999 probe gets ~3.6961, not 4.5.

Golden tests pin the 799/800/801 straddle and the maxed-skill vitae
differential; pseudocode doc §6 carries the decode plus a do-not-
reimport-ACE warning. Complete Release suite: 10,025 passed / 5 skips.

cf2605fa4a fix(ui): #267 character panel reflects vitae/buffed skills and attributes
Retail CACQualities::EnchantAttribute (0x00594570), EnchantAttribute2nd
(0x00594670, already ported for #6), and EnchantSkill (0x005947b0) are the
three enchantment-composition functions the Character window's Attributes
and Skills tabs depend on. Primary attributes never reference the vitae
singleton in retail (only Attribute2nd/Skill do) — confirmed directly from
the decompiled function bodies, not assumed.

EnchantmentMath.GetMod gains requiredType/includeVitae parameters (default
to the prior behavior) so a numeric StatMod key collision across domains
(e.g. key=1 is both Strength and MaxHealth) can't leak a buff into the
wrong computation. Spellbook.GetAttributeMod/GetSkillMod and
LocalPlayerState.GetEffectiveAttribute/GetEffectiveSkill/
GetSkillVitaeModifier wire the retail chain through to the panel.
CharacterSheetProvider now reports the effective value as the main number
and CharacterSkill.CurrentLevel is no longer an alias of BaseLevel (this
also activates the previously-dead SkillValueColor buffed/debuffed row
coloring). CharacterStatController's footer-title parenthetical is cited
from gmAttributeUI::DisplaySelectionFooter_Attribute (0x0049d280) and
gmSkillUI::DisplaySelectionFooter_Trained (0x0049b860) +
SkillInfoRegion::GetVitaeModifier (0x004f0fa0): skills show up to two
segments (vitae's own contribution, then the buff-only residual), while
vitae-immune attributes show at most one; no parenthetical when the delta
is zero. The panel now refreshes on Spellbook.EnchantmentsChanged, not only
raw property/attribute updates.

Core goldens cover the user-reported 33% vitae example (303->203, "(-100)"
exactly), buff+vitae composition, and the attribute vitae-immunity finding.
Provider/controller tests cover the full row-click -> footer-title path and
live refresh. Full solution suite passes with zero failures.

96a62a191b docs(research): #265 capture bisect - S1 and S2 both cleared, real culprit is R6 grounded-animation-zero (S3, pre-Campaign-P)
Root-caused via segment mining + a real-trajectory replay harness
(previous commit). Mined two dramatic real "velocity annihilation +
permanent freeze" events from the live capture (a high-speed fall landing
on a moderate, walkable-by-threshold roof slope, then a full velocity
zero + frozen position for the rest of the capture - 12,292 ticks for the
worse of the two).

A/B verdict: S1 (db2889af, #116 shape-1's Path-6 hasSphere1 change) is
provably UNREACHED for the mined trajectory - hit1 never fires once across
the 80-tick replay, and diagnostic instrumentation shows the landing
actually goes through the still-unchanged sphere0 (foot) branch. Reverting
S1 locally produced byte-identical replay output, confirming this
mechanically rather than by inference. S2 (calc_friction's AP-7 threshold)
has zero production call sites (grep-confirmed) - it is dead code and
cannot affect any live behavior in either direction.

The real mechanism, hand-traced against both mined events exactly: the R6
"grounded movement is animation-root-motion-owned" architecture
(PlayerMovementController.cs:1868-1882, landed 2026-07-20 via f961d700,
ten days before Campaign P) unconditionally zeros horizontal Velocity
every tick once OnWalkable is true. With no held movement key at the
instant of landing, the mover never advances again - a frozen-phase design
predating Campaign P entirely, not a regression from S1/S2.

Recommended direction: do not revert S1 (a real, narrow, retail-faithful
fix unrelated to these two events); do not touch S2 until it's actually
wired into a live path; the real target is #166 (downhill sled) plus the
grounded-movement architecture, which needs a brainstorming pass before
any implementation, not a quick S1/S2 revert.

c0afcacbb2 fix(physics): movement-parity fixes - adjusted catch-up cap, autorun retail semantics, AP-30 retired
Ports CMotionInterp::get_adjusted_max_speed (0x00527D00, byte-decoded:
bare rate unless RunForward; forward_speed x 4.0 when running;
current_speed_factor proven a ctor-constant 1.0 at 0x00528C34) and swaps
all five interpolation catch-up call sites to it - retail's
fUseAdjustedSpeed_ static (.data 0x0081F418 = 1) makes this the live
branch, so standing/walking remotes now catch up at ~2x runRate instead
of 4x too fast (the #41/#165 presentation family). Autorun now hard-
forces Run for its duration and cancels on every fresh forward press
(CommandInterpreter::HandleNewForwardMovement 0x006b3d60 is literally
SetAutoRun(0,1)); the old test pin codified the divergence. AP-30
retired: retail Frame::is_equal genuinely uses the 0.0002 epsilon - the
row recorded a non-divergence. Three catch-up test pins re-baselined to
retail semantics with citations. Full Release suite 9,983/0.

836be3c691 docs(register): Campaign P P7 - TS-25 retired, TS-24/TS-40 re-argued as AD-57/AD-58
TS-25's outbound stance has shipped via RawState.CurrentStyle since #219
(PlayerMovementController :1091/:1423/:1458, LocalPlayerOutboundController
:242) - the row's GameWindow cites predate the decomposition. TS-24's
empty action list is byte-identical to retail's no-pending-actions state
(feature gap, not behavior divergence) -> AD-57. TS-40's InWorld flag is
a structural adaptation of retail's cell-pointer-null idiom with a
recorded equivalence -> AD-58. Zero goal-enumerated physics stopgap rows
remain.

464005ef2b docs: Campaign P final physics slice — ledger updates (#116, #166, P2)
Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md, following the four
code commits that closed out TS-4 (5e2be19b), #116 shape-2 (01492205),
and AD-55 (252e8068), plus #116 shape-1's Path-6 fix (db2889af) and the
TransitionalInsert return-value fix (7e1be3de):

- ISSUES.md #116: shape-2 marked CLOSED (D4 un-skipped, structurally
  confirmed, no cdb needed). Shape-1 narrowed, not closed: the Path-6
  head-sphere fix is a real, independent improvement but the tick-22760
  confirming replay showed it doesn't explain that specific symptom --
  the mover is grounded there (Path 5, not Path 6) and the actual
  no-normal-recorded mechanism (SpherePath.PrecipiceSlide's
  find_crossed_edge-false fallback) is independently confirmed byte-exact
  retail behavior too. Recorded the concrete next step (re-run against
  the faithful Setup-based door registration instead of the simplified
  fixture) rather than closing on an unmet acceptance criterion.
- ISSUES.md #166: noted TS-4 and AD-55 landed (the AP-7-family
  completion this note was waiting on); closure still pends the visual-
  matrix scenario-5 recheck against live retail.
- Campaign P plan (2026-07-29-physics-parity-campaign.md) P2 status
  block: TS-4 outcome (retired, not deferred), #116 outcome (shape-2
  closed / shape-1 narrowed), AD-55 outcome (retired).

Docs-only; no build/test change required for this commit.

252e806804 fix(physics): AD-55 retired — Sledding fast-sled constant is cos(10 deg)
Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md Addendum (byte-proven
2026-07-30). Raw bytes of CPhysicsObj::calc_friction @ 0x0050ee70's
Sledding fast-sled branch (0x0050ef52-0x0050ef6a):

  d9 86 38 01 00 00   fld  dword [esi+0x138]    ; contact_plane.Normal.Z
  dd 05 28 6b 7c 00   fld  qword [0x007c6b28]   ; = 0.17453292519943295 (10 deg RADIANS)
  d9 ff               fcos                       ; st0 = cos(10 deg) = 0.984807753
  de d9               fcompp

confirm a genuine fcos opcode over a real 10-degrees-in-radians double
literal -- not a BN misdecompile of a raw float load. Retail truly
computes cos(10 deg) ~ 0.9848078 at runtime; ACE's 0.99999536f equals
cos(0.1745 DEGREES) -- the same radian literal evaluated in degree mode,
a proven ACE porting error carried into this port provisionally.

PhysicsBody.calc_friction's Sledding near-flat override now compares
GroundNormal.Z > 0.98480775f (cos 10 deg). Feel impact: retail's 0.2f
fast-sled friction override engages on any ground within 10 degrees of
flat; the old constant engaged only within ~0.175 degrees (never, in
practice).

Tests: two new boundary pins
(calc_friction_sledding_fast_override_engages_at_5_degrees_from_flat /
..._does_not_engage_at_15_degrees_from_flat) construct a tilted
GroundNormal with velocity purely orthogonal to the tilt plane (dot=0
exactly, isolating the Sledding-band friction value from the outer 0.25f
gate and the normal-removal step) and assert the exact pow(1-friction, dt)
decay on each side of the new 10-degree boundary.

Register: AD-55 retired (struck through, retirement note with the byte
decode).

Full AcDream.Core.Tests suite: 4063 passed / 1 skipped, no regressions.

5e2be19b4e fix(physics): TS-4 retired — Path-6 steep-poly shortcut deleted
Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md §1, §4 item 2 (the
decisive TS-4 confirming run). Retail's BSP layer has NO steepness test at
all (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:323783-323821, 0x0053a793) — every airborne
hit, steep or shallow, falls through to the same unconditional
`SetCollide` + `Adjusted`. The L.4 slide-tangent shortcut (worldNormal.Z <
FloorZ -> project-and-Slid, with its own SetSlidingNormal write) is deleted
from both BSPQuery.cs's and FlatBspQuery.cs's Path 6 sphere0 branch.

Fixing FlatBspQuery.cs (the flat/indexed engine Slice I6/I7 made
production-authoritative) was necessary in this same commit: it carried an
exact structural duplicate of the shortcut, caught by
FlatBspQueryDifferentialTests.InstalledDat_LargeRandomizedSweep_HasZeroBitMismatch
(graph=Adjusted vs flat=Slid) once the graph side was fixed alone. Its
sphere1 branch is also brought in line with the #116 shape-1 fix landed
in db2889af (direct Collided + SetCollisionNormal instead of the deferred
SetCollide/shortcut treatment) — that parity gap existed since shape-1's
commit only touched BSPQuery.cs and the randomized differential sweep
didn't happen to exercise the narrow foot-clear/head-hit case until this
session's broader change surfaced it.

DECISIVE CONFIRMING RUN (Ts4SteepRoofWedgeCaptureTests, per the plan's own
required test-first order): added
FallOntoSteepSlope_WithHorizontalVelocity_NeverFreezesForOverHalfASecond_AndReachesFloor
— the same steep-roof drop as the existing pure-vertical fixture, but with
a small residual horizontal velocity (vx=-0.3 m/s), matching the realistic
live-play input (WASD, jump momentum) that validated the shortcut on
2026-04-30. With the shortcut removed, this variant converges cleanly to
the flat floor with zero freeze. The pure-vertical fixture, run
shortcut-removed, DOES still freeze — per the oracle plan's root-cause
trace (§1.2 Step E), this is the DEGENERATE case: AdjustOffset's crease
projection (Cross(ContactPlane.Normal, SlidingNormal)) is mathematically
orthogonal to a purely-Z gravity offset, crushing it to zero every tick
before TransitionalInsert can run again — present identically in the raw
decomp, ACE's port, and this port. Renamed and re-asserted as a PINNED
known-degenerate test
(FallOntoSteepSlope_PureVertical_FreezesAtDegenerateFixedPoint_RetailParity)
rather than treated as a bug. Filed as register row AD-56.

BSPStepUpTests.C3_Path6_AirborneMoverHitsSteepSlope_ReturnsSlid pinned the
OLD shortcut's Slid-no-Collide behavior directly; renamed to
...ReturnsAdjustedAndSetsCollide and corrected to the retail-faithful
Adjusted/Collide=true outcome.

Register: TS-4 row retired (struck through, retirement note); AD-56 filed
for the pure-vertical degenerate case; the retire-next shortlist's TS-4
entry removed and renumbered.

Full AcDream.Core.Tests suite: 4060 passed / 2 skipped (D4 stays Skip-tagged
in this commit; its own un-skip is a separate, dependent test-only commit
for #116 shape-2), no regressions.

db2889afda fix(physics): #116 shape-1 — Path-6 head-sphere direct Collided return
Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md §2.3-§2.4: retail's
airborne (not-yet-Contact) BSPTREE::find_collisions dispatch, when the
FOOT sphere is completely clear but the HEAD sphere hits or near-misses,
does not defer through SetCollide/Adjusted (nor the steep-poly
slide-tangent shortcut) — it records the head polygon's normal directly
and hard-stops: pc:323824-323834 (0x0053a793/0x0053a7a4), independently
cross-checked against ACE BSPTree.cs:221-230 (`SetCollisionNormal` +
`return TransitionState.Collided;`), an exact structural match confirming
this isn't a BN misdecompile. BSPQuery.cs's Path 6 `hasSphere1` branch now
does the same: `collisions.SetCollisionNormal(worldNormal1); return
TransitionState.Collided;`, replacing the old steep-shortcut-or-deferred-
SetCollide handling. This mechanically retires one of TS-4's two
`SetSlidingNormal` write sites (sphere1's) ahead of TS-4's own item.

Added two permanent diagnostics gated on the existing
PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeIndoorBspEnabled flag (`[path-dispatch]` at
FindCollisionsCore entry, `[path5-diag]` inside Path 5) to make future
BSPQuery dispatch tracing cheaper.

HONEST RESULT of the plan's own confirming instrumentation (re-run of
DoorBugTrajectoryReplayTests.Diagnostic_Tick22760_DumpEngineInternals):
this fix does NOT change the tick-22760 outcome (harness still cn=(0,0,1)
vs live cn=(0,+1,0)). The new dispatch-entry probes show the tick-22760
mover is GROUNDED (Contact set), so it never reaches Path 6 at all — it
dispatches Path 5 -> StepSphereDown (Path 3, both DoStepDown half-steps
fail) -> EdgeSlideAfterStepDownFailed -> SpherePath.PrecipiceSlide, whose
find_crossed_edge-false fallback returns Collided with NO collision-normal
write. A fresh byte-level read of retail's SPHEREPATH::precipice_slide
(pc:274316-274326, 0x0050cc80) confirms this is byte-exact retail
behavior (`if (eax == 0) { walkable = 0; return 2; }`, no
set_collision_normal call) — not a bug. The real tick-22760 divergence is
further upstream, most likely this test's simplified door registration
(BuildEngineWithDoorFixture) not placing the door's BSP where live retail
actually intersected it, or a walkable-polygon state-capture gap — see
the research doc's Addendum 2 for the full trace and open candidates.

#116 shape-1 is therefore NARROWED, not closed: the Path-6 fix is a real,
independent retail-faithfulness improvement; the tick-22760 acceptance
criterion is not met by it and needs further harness/geometry work before
any further code change.

Full AcDream.Core.Tests suite: 4059 passed / 2 skipped, no regressions.

9e17554ed4 fix(physics): P5 commit 3 - retire TS-35, close #167 (ConstraintManager leash)
PhysicsBody.IsFullyConstrained now reflects real ConstraintManager state
(pushed every tick by the same per-tick pumps commit 2 wired), so
jump_is_allowed's already-ported gate (WeenieError 0x47) actually fires
while an object is rubber-banding hard against a server position
correction, closing the last piece of #167.

Housekeeping:
- Delete register row TS-35 (retired: the write side is no longer stubbed).
- Rewrite the stale doc comments on PhysicsBody.IsFullyConstrained,
  ConstraintManager (class + IsFullyConstrained), PositionManager.ConstrainTo,
  EntityPhysicsHost.PositionManager, and PlayerMovementController.PositionManager
  that described the leash as permanently unarmed/stubbed.
- Close #167 in ISSUES.md citing the research doc and commits e0629145 /
  7719d25b.
- Add an "as-ported" addendum to
  docs/research/2026-07-30-constraint-leash-constants.md naming the actual
  current seam owners (the doc's own open question flagged this as
  implementer-verify-required post-J-slices).
- Update docs/plans/2026-07-29-physics-parity-campaign.md's P5 status and
  CLAUDE.md's Campaign P summary to reflect #167's closure (items #153/#72
  remain open in P5).

Verification: complete solution suite green - 9,978 tests, 5 skips, 0
failures across all 9 test projects (Core.Tests, Runtime.Tests, App.Tests,
Headless.Tests, Core.Net.Tests, Content.Tests, UI.Abstractions.Tests,
Bake.Tests, Cli.Tests).

7a0f836af5 fix(physics): AP-129 review fix - port CanMoveInto/IsAllowedIn, stop failing closed
Campaign P Slice P4 Opus review verdict: FIX-FIRST. RestrictionObjPrevalenceInspectionTests
(commit 3b5e0992) found 103,766 of 729,888 installed EnvCells (1,293 landblocks -
the whole housing estate) carry a baked RestrictionObj. The AP-71 gate's
unconditional fail-closed default (CanMoveInto unmodeled) would have locked
every apartment/cottage/villa interior for every player, including its own
owner - a live regression, not the "inert in dev content" the original
register row assumed.

Ports ACCWeenieObject::CanMoveInto (0x0058da40, pc:407982-408056) and
RestrictionDB::IsAllowedIn (0x005ae8f0, pc:444493-444516) verbatim into
ObjectInfo.CheckEntryRestrictions:
- owner_iid == 0 or == mover's own guid -> admit (open/owner)
- no RestrictionDB (retail _db == 0, i.e. never authored or not yet
  received) -> admit
- present RestrictionDB -> IsAllowedIn: open-to-public flag, OR mover
  shares the house's allegiance monarch, OR mover's own guid is a
  guest-table member
- unresolved restriction object -> fails CLOSED, exactly retail's own
  fallback when GetObjectA can't resolve it (pc:704-716)

Wire feed (Core.Net):
- CreateObject.cs: HouseOwner (WeenieHeaderFlag 0x02000000), HouseRestrictions
  (0x04000000), and Monarch (0x40) PWD-tail fields were parsed-and-skipped;
  now captured. Also fixes the HouseRestrictions PHashTable header
  misconception: the wire is ONE packed u32 (low 24 bits = entry count),
  not a separate count(u16)+numBuckets(u16) pair - verified against
  Chorizite's RestrictionDB.generated.cs. The old skip's byte-count
  happened to match for realistic guest-list sizes, but a future
  numBuckets value >255 would have corrupted the parse; now correct
  regardless.
- GameEvents.cs/GameEventWiring.cs: new House_UpdateRestrictions (0x0248)
  parser + wiring - retail's live guest-list refresh, whole-unit replace.
  No-ops if the house object hasn't arrived via CreateObject yet.
- ClientObject/WeenieData/ClientObjectTable: HouseOwnerId, MonarchId,
  Restrictions (new HouseRestrictionRecord) fields + merge-preserving
  Ingest + targeted UpdateHouseRestrictions.

Physics wiring:
- PhysicsEngine gains an Objects (ClientObjectTable?) property, mirroring
  the existing DataCache pattern - acdream's GetObjectA equivalent, used
  ONLY by the entry-restriction gate.
- RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime wires Physics.Engine.Objects = Objects in
  all three constructors, right alongside the table's own construction -
  the same canonical table every other subsystem borrows from, never a
  second one. This is the production fix: without it the gate still fails
  closed on every restricted cell (unresolvable object), so the wiring is
  load-bearing, not cosmetic.

Register: AP-129 narrowed (not retired) to the genuine remaining residual -
House_UpdateRestrictions' Sequence byte isn't used for staleness/reordering
rejection (low-probability, self-correcting), and outdoor CLandCell
restriction (a separate DAT structure) remains unported and unaffected by
this fix.

Tests: 15 new/updated in Ap71EntryRestrictionGateTests.cs (resolved-unowned
admits, owner admits, present-list-excluded blocks, present-list-included
admits, open-to-public admits, shared-allegiance-monarch admits, unresolved
blocks via null and via an empty table, plus two new end-to-end

dc0468cc2b fix(tests): replace sleep-race concurrency proofs in RetailDatLoaderTests
Two tests proved "these two unrelated DAT reads ran concurrently" by
racing a fixed Thread.Sleep(40) window against .NET thread-pool
scheduling latency for a second Task.Run. Under the CPU contention of
a full `dotnet test AcDream.slnx` run (all 9 test projects' VSTest
hosts launch concurrently) plus a busy machine, thread-pool injection
can occasionally miss the window, making MaxConcurrentReads read 1
instead of 2 and failing the assertion with no underlying code defect.

RetailAnimationLoader and RetailPhysicsScriptLoader both coalesce
same-key reads correctly via ConcurrentDictionary<K, Lazy<T>>.GetOrAdd,
which is atomic and timing-independent (verified by reading, not just
running) - only the test's method of proving cross-key overlap was
timing-fragile. DecodedTextureCacheTests already uses the correct
deterministic-gate pattern; this brings RetailDatLoaderTests in line
with it via a Barrier-backed rendezvous instead of a sleep race.

Filed as #248 (docs/ISSUES.md) with the full attempt matrix: could not
catch the originally-reported AcDream.Content.Tests failure in the act
despite ~72 Content.Tests executions across four contention strategies
over ~30 full-suite-equivalent runs, though the general mechanism
reproduced 3x in AcDream.App.Tests's already-known zero-allocation
flake class (left untouched, out of scope here).

ce941de5cb docs: Campaign P Slice P4 closeout - record AP-71/AP-10 completion + full-suite gate
Both P4 items landed (d6c3f865 AP-71, cc8d57a2 AP-10). Records the slice-gate
complete solution suite totals: 9,946 total across 9 test projects, 9,941
passed, 5 skipped, 0 failed on a clean run. One flaky unrelated failure
(AcDream.Content.Tests parallel-cache-coalescing timing test, untouched by
this slice) observed on an earlier run in the same session; reproduces 0/2
in isolation and passed clean on immediate re-run, confirming full-suite
parallel-contention flakiness rather than a regression.

cc8d57a26e fix(physics): AP-10 - restore retail's 0.1m dry-corner water sink-in; wire WATER_CONTACT_TS
Campaign P Slice P4 item 2. TerrainSurface.SampleWaterDepth now returns 0.1
(was collapsed to 0) for a partially-water cell's dry corner, matching
retail's ObjCell.get_water_depth / calc_water_depth (via ACE's unambiguous
C# port). ValidateWalkable's formula was already byte-for-byte verbatim
(ACE ObjectInfo.ValidateWalkable line 124); only the constant was collapsed.

The old collapse's justification ("0.1 destabilizes the feet-exactly-on-plane
contact-touch check because dist > EPSILON skips SetContactPlane that tick")
is structurally true of retail too - traced and confirmed this slice: in ALL
THREE implementations (retail, ACE, acdream) a skipped touch-reassertion is
NOT a fall, because Contact/OnWalkable are STICKY -
PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition's onGround computation ORs the fresh
per-call ContactPlaneValid with the seeded, persistent
PhysicsBody.TransientState.OnWalkable bit (itself written back by the
caller's own sticky TransientState). PhysicsEngine.SampleTerrainWalkable's
isWater = waterDepth >= 0.45f threshold means the restore does not flip the
dry corner's water classification (0.1 still < 0.45) - only the sink-in
depth changes. Full Core.Tests suite green (4038/2 skips, up from 4026)
proves the sticky-bit argument held in practice.

WATER_CONTACT_TS (TransientStateFlags.WaterContact, declared but never
written) is now mirrored alongside CONTACT_TS/ON_WALKABLE_TS at every commit
point that writes them: PhysicsObjUpdate.ApplySetPositionContact (projectiles
+ remote teleport), PhysicsObjUpdate.CommitSetPositionTransition (remote
teleport placement), and PhysicsEngine's per-resolve body-state commit (local
player + remote dead-reckoning + ordinary movers via ResolveWithTransition -
the actual SetPositionInternal-equivalent path). No signature changes needed:
body.ContactPlaneIsWater is already fresh by the time each function runs.

CollisionShadowVerifier audit: no change needed. It diffs graph-vs-flat BSP
traversal outcomes (ObjectInfo/CollisionInfo/SpherePath fields already
including ContactPlaneIsWater); it never touches PhysicsBody.TransientState,
and the water-depth constant is computed identically upstream of both
traversal modes, so it cannot introduce a new graph/flat divergence.

Filed #264 for the three items research explicitly left open (none block
this port): no confirmed retail consumer of WATER_CONTACT_TS was found (an
xref scan wasn't attempted - bitmask reads aren't text-greppable); the
CLandCell ENTIRELY_WATER ethereal/swim exemption from terrain collision was
not cross-checked; jump-in-water/swim-animation effects were not
investigated (out of physics/collision scope).

Conformance: Ap10WaterSemanticsTests covers SampleWaterDepth golden values
(NotWater/EntirelyWater/PartiallyWater wet+dry corners), the isWater
threshold non-flip, WaterContact mirroring in both PhysicsObjUpdate
functions, and two settle-to-rest end-to-end PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition
scenarios (water: sinks exactly waterDepth below the plane and sets
WaterContact; dry: rests exactly on the plane and clears any stale
WaterContact bit).

Register: retired AP-10 (92 active AP rows, down from 93).

AcDream.Core.Tests: 4038 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

d6c3f8657a fix(physics): AP-71 - port check_entry_restrictions at the head of indoor FindEnvCollisions
Campaign P Slice P4 item 1. Ports retail's CObjCell::check_entry_restrictions
(pc:308873-308912, 0x0052b6d0), called FIRST by CEnvCell::find_env_collisions
(pc:309576) before any BSP work, as ObjectInfo.CheckEntryRestrictions wired at
the top of the indoor branch of Transition.FindEnvCollisions.

Resolves the research doc's open question on restriction_obj's source: the
ACE cross-check (references/ACE/Source/ACE.DatLoader/FileTypes/EnvCell.cs:32,
66-67) plus an independent reflection probe of Chorizite.DatReaderWriter
2.1.7's own EnvCell.RestrictionObj field confirm it is a plain DAT-baked
uint32 gated by EnvCellFlags.HasRestrictionObj (0x8) - not a live wire
override. The BN pseudo-C's "count for an array alloc" read at the same
UnPack offset was the mis-attributed field-name collision
feedback_bn_decomp_field_names warned about.

CellPhysics.RestrictionObj is wired from envCell.RestrictionObj in BOTH the
dev/graph-fixture path (CacheCellStruct) and the production/prepared path
(CachePreparedCellStruct) - the latter already receives a live parsed
envCell for Position/EnvironmentId, so no bake-format change was needed.

The mover's own CanBypassMoveRestrictions (BF_ADMIN 0x100000 AND
BF_IMMUNE_CELL_RESTRICTIONS 0x400000, acclient.h:6452-6454) is decoded via
the same PWD-bitfield pipeline TS-23 established for PK/PKLite/Impenetrable
(EntityCollisionFlags -> ToMoverState -> ObjectInfoState moverFlags).

Remaining gap (filed as AP-129, replacing the retired AP-71 row): CanMoveInto
(house owner IID + guest/ban list) is unmodeled, so a genuinely restricted
cell fails CLOSED for everyone, not just intruders - matching retail's own
fallback when the restriction weenie can't be resolved (pc:704-716). Outdoor
CLandCell restriction (LandblockInfo.RestrictionTables, a separate DAT
structure) is explicitly out of scope for this gate.

Conformance: Ap71EntryRestrictionGateTests covers the pure gate logic
(NPC bypass, admin bypass, fail-closed, ordinary-cell no-op), the PWD-bitfield
two-bit AND decode, and three end-to-end Transition.FindEnvCollisions
scenarios proving zero behavior change for ordinary cells.

AcDream.Core.Tests: 4026 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

eddad9cb38 review(physics): P3 Opus review APPROVE - file AP-128 for the PK-timer clock basis
TS-46/AD-25/TS-23 retirements verified: sphere-list conformance decoy
pair proves the list drives the sweep; mover bits map the retail
OBJECTINFO::init 0x80/0x800/0x1000 space with the non-PK invariant
pinned; #165 correctly stopped at the render-lag candidate with (a)/(b)
ruled out by evidence. The PK-timer's process-uptime clock is a sound
precision choice but a latent cross-timebase compare against the wire's
server-basis PropertyFloat 0x91 - inert against ACE (neither property
modeled), filed as AP-128 rather than guessed at.

bc3277a8ec docs(physics): #165 diagnostic pass - rule out (a)/(b), stop at (c)
Campaign P Slice P3 item 4. Per the plan's explicit instruction, this
is diagnose-only: the research's candidate (a)/(b) mechanisms did not
confirm, so no fix lands here.

Built the dat-free/dat-backed fixtures the plan asked for (no live
client) to test the two mechanisms a physics fixture CAN discriminate:

- (b) ruled out by code reading: RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick's
  resolve gate reads RuntimeEntityRecord.FullCellId live. Every
  FullCellId = 0 write site (TryApplyPickup, CommitAcceptedParentCellless,
  CommitWithdrawal in RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime.cs) is a pickup/
  parent-attach/delete path, never reachable for a live, freely moving
  remote mid-session. The "one-frame grace" is genuinely first-spawn-only.

- (a) tested directly and does not reproduce, on two independent
  geometries: InterpolationManager's unclamped stall-fail "tail delta"
  snap (node_fail_counter > 3) can hand ResolveWithTransition an
  arbitrarily large single-tick targetPos. New fixture tests replace a
  proven small-step sweep (many 0.08-0.10 m ticks) with ONE resolve call
  spanning the entire distance, against both a synthetic creature sphere
  and the real Holtburg door BSP slab (Setup 0x020019FF/GfxObj
  0x010044B5, the existing door-apparatus dat fixture) already used by
  DoorCollisionApparatusTests. Both stop at the identical surface
  distance the small-step tests pin, with a valid collision normal --
  the sweep is not distance-limited and does not tunnel on a large
  single-tick delta.

Candidate (c) -- render/interpolation presentation lag on the App side --
is the remaining hypothesis and is out of scope for a physics-fixture
pass (it's a claim about what gets drawn relative to the committed
PhysicsBody.Position, not something a Core fixture observes). #165
stays OPEN with (a)/(b) struck from the candidate list by the evidence
above and (c) named as the next concrete step (an App-layer render-vs-
physics-position diff, or a fresh live ACDREAM_PROBE_RESOLVE capture).

New tests: Issue165RemoteWallPenetrationDiagnosticTests (dat-free,
3 tests) and DoorCollisionApparatusTests.
Apparatus_SingleLargeTickJump_DeadCenter_StillBlocksOnBSP (dat-backed,
1 test, skips gracefully without the local dat directory).

dotnet build + dotnet test (Core.Tests 4012/2 skip, Runtime.Tests
425/0) green.

bb7b899bfe fix(physics): TS-23 - plumb real PK/PKLite/Impenetrable mover flags
Campaign P Slice P3 item 3. The wire parse (CreateObject's
PublicWeenieDesc._bitfield), the decode (EntityCollisionFlagsExt.
FromPwdBitfield), the per-GUID storage (ClientObjectTable.
PublicWeenieBitfield), and the exemption logic (CollisionExemption.
ShouldSkip) all already existed and were already correct -- every
mover-flags call site just fed a GUID-prefix IsPlayer heuristic instead
of the real per-entity PK/PKLite/Impenetrable state (retail
OBJECTINFO::init 0x0050cf30 state |= 0x80/0x800/0x1000).

Port:
- EntityCollisionFlagsExt.ToMoverState translates the decoded PWD
  bit-space into the ObjectInfoState bit-space FindObjCollisions
  actually reads -- two different numberings that must not be
  confused. Deliberately does not translate IsPlayer (every call site
  already derives that correctly from its own GUID heuristic per
  #184 Slice 2b).
- EntityCollisionFlagsExt.ResolveMoverPvpState is the one shared
  ClientObjectTable-backed lookup (guid -> ObjectInfoState), replacing
  what would otherwise have been three separate inline copies across
  GameWindow/LivePresentationComposition/RemoteTeleportController.
- Threaded as a new optional moverPvpState parameter through
  RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick/TickHidden and
  RuntimeOrdinaryPhysicsUpdater.TryBegin (default None preserves every
  pre-P3 caller unchanged), and as PlayerMovementController.OwnPvpFlags
  for the local player's own two resolve call sites.
- TS-23 section 12b: PlayerWeenie.JumpStaminaCost's pk parameter now
  reads the real PlayerKillerStatus(0x86)/LastPkAttackTimestamp(0x91)
  pair against retail's 20-second recency window
  (pkStatus in {4, 0x40} && (timestamp + 20.0) >= now), replacing the
  P1 hardcoded false. RuntimeMovementSkillState/Snapshot and
  LiveSessionEventRouter.RecomputePvpStatus push both the PWD bitfield
  and the PlayerKillerStatus pair reactively, riding the SAME
  ClientObject event triggers RecomputeBurden already uses.
- A conformance test caught a genuine precision bug in the first
  PK-timer clock choice: DateTimeOffset.UtcNow's Unix-epoch seconds
  (~1.7 billion) loses ~128 seconds of precision in a 32-bit float,
  silently swallowing the entire 20-second window. Switched to
  Environment.TickCount64 (small, monotonic magnitude) -- also the more
  retail-plausible basis, since LastPkAttackTimestamp is itself a wire
  PropertyFloat and retail's Timer::cur_time is almost certainly a
  process/session-relative counter for the same precision reason, not
  an absolute epoch.

Non-PK invariant (the acceptance criterion): an entity with no
ClientObjectTable row, or a row whose PublicWeenieBitfield is null or
0, resolves to ObjectInfoState.None -- a no-op OR into moverFlags,
bit-identical to every pre-P3 caller's hardcoded value. A dedicated
test drives two real ClientObjectTable rows through
CollisionExemption.ShouldSkip and confirms PK-vs-PK collides while
PK-vs-non-PK and non-PK-vs-non-PK both stay exempt (walk through).

Register: TS-23 retired (both the collision-flags and PK-timer halves);
the stale "M2 combat must land TS-23" phase-gate note removed.

dotnet build + dotnet test (Core.Tests 4008/2 skip, Runtime.Tests
425/0, App.Tests 3968/3 skip, complete solution build) all green.

8b5425498c fix(physics): AD-25 - remote collision response through ported HandleAllCollisions
Campaign P Slice P3 item 2. CPhysicsObj::handle_all_collisions
(0x00514780, pc:282647) is one uniform function retail calls
unconditionally after every SetPositionInternal, player or remote. The
gate is shouldReflect = !(prevOnWalkable && nowOnWalkable && !sledding).

RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick's post-resolve reflect was still the
2026-07-05 (#173) hand-inlined block, gated on
resolveResult.CollisionNormalValid and using two ad-hoc branches that
diverge from retail in exactly the cases the register row named:
  - non-sledding: old = "!prevOnWalkable && !nowOnWalkable" (reflects
    ONLY airborne-before-AND-after); retail reflects on every transition
    except grounded-before-AND-after.
  - sledding: old = "!(prevOnWalkable && nowOnWalkable)" (suppresses the
    bounce exactly when both grounded); retail's "!sledding" term forces
    shouldReflect = true unconditionally when sledding, the opposite
    polarity.

Both gaps meant a remote's post-landing reflect never ran on a
grounded-transition tick at all -- the "acdream lands clean and dead"
half of #166's slope-landing composite.

Replace the hand-inlined block with a direct call to
PhysicsObjUpdate.HandleAllCollisions -- the same verbatim port the
local player and every ordinary body already use via
CommitSetPositionTransition -- passing the same
prevContact/prevOnWalkable/nowOnWalkable values the old code already
computed. Narrower swap per the research's explicit recommendation:
does not fold in CommitSetPositionTransition's HitGround/LeaveGround
dispatch, leaving the remote's bespoke landing-detection block
(interp-queue-clear, animation-hook-specific logic) untouched. The call
is now unconditional (matching retail's own unconditional call site)
rather than gated behind CollisionNormalValid, since HandleAllCollisions
already no-ops the reflect step internally when no normal was found but
still runs the frames-stationary-fall bleed regardless.

PhysicsObjUpdate.HandleAllCollisionsTests already exhaustively pins the
retail formula in isolation; this change is a mechanical wiring swap to
the already-tested function using values the removed block already
computed. Full regression suites (Core.Tests 3991/2 skip, Runtime.Tests
425/0, App.Tests 3968/3 skip) pass unchanged -- no existing test pinned
the old broken formula.

Register: AD-25 retired (both the local-player and remote halves are now
the ported HandleAllCollisions); #166's reattribution note updated to
reflect the closure, leaving only TS-4 as the remaining blocker on that
issue's downhill-jump-glide acceptance.

dae5b1ea68 fix(physics): TS-46 - seed the sweep from the Setup's own sphere list
Campaign P Slice P3 item 1. Retail CPhysicsObj::transition (0x00512dc0)
seeds the collision sweep from CPartArray::GetSphere (the Setup's own
<=2-sphere list, each origin+radius scaled by m_scale) via
SPHEREPATH::init_sphere (0x0050c670) -- not from a symmetric two-scalar
(radius, height) capsule reconstruction. The human Setup 0x02000001's
authored spheres are (0,0,0.475) r=.48 and (0,0,1.350) r=.48; the old
reconstruction from (0.48, 1.835) produced (0,0,0.48) + (0,0,1.355), a
5 mm head-center offset the TS-46 register row documented as a residual.

Port:
- SpherePath.InitPath gains a sphere-list overload (ImmutableArray<
  FlatCollisionSphere>, scale) sharing a new InitPathCore with the
  existing (radius, height) overload, which is now the degenerate
  2-scalar case of the same code -- byte-for-byte unchanged, so every
  captured-fixture replay (CellarUpTrajectoryReplayTests,
  DoorBugTrajectoryReplayTests, CellarLipWedgeTests) keeps passing
  unmodified.
- PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition gains optional sphereList/
  sphereScale parameters; empty/default preserves the legacy scalar
  path for every pre-existing caller.
- LiveEntityMotionRuntimeController.GetSetupMoverShape is a new sibling
  of GetSetupCylinder (left untouched) that resolves the Setup's own
  sphere list plus Setup-derived step-up/step-down
  (CPartArray::GetStepUpHeight/GetStepDownHeight, 0x005180d0/0x005180f0,
  x ObjScale, 0.4 m fallback matching the pre-existing literal).
- Threaded through PlayerMovementController (both resolve call sites,
  new SphereList property set by PlayerModeController.ApplyStepHeights
  and the Headless world projection), RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater
  (Tick + TickHidden), and RuntimeOrdinaryPhysicsUpdater.TryBegin.
  Remote/ordinary step heights are now Setup-derived instead of a
  hardcoded 0.4f literal. Projectile and camera-probe sweeps are
  untouched (already single-sphere-exact).
- PlayerModeController.ApplyStepHeights also now applies the x ObjScale
  multiply to the player's own step heights (previously only the
  remote/ordinary paths did), closing an adjacent gap the P3 research
  flagged.

Ts46SphereListConformanceTests proves the sphere-list overload sees the
exact dat spheres (not the reconstruction), that the scalar overload is
unchanged, and that ResolveWithTransition's sphereList parameter
actually drives the sweep (a decoy-scalar control pair using a
head-height obstacle sphere).

Register: TS-46 retired (both residuals it named are closed); header
count corrected to 40 active TS rows.

dotnet build + dotnet test (Core.Tests 3991/2 skip, Runtime.Tests
425/0, App.Tests 3968/3 skip, complete solution build) all green.

2ecd29e280 docs: reattribute #166 per Campaign P Slice P2 research; no Sledding auto-toggle needed
docs/research/2026-07-30-response-layer-edge-family-pseudocode.md §3, §6
Step 6. Corrects two things in the original AD-25+AP-7+TS-4 framing:
AD-25's local-player half was already ported by the #182 rebuild
(2026-07-07) and the remaining gap is remote/NPC-only (Campaign P P3
scope); and no client-side PhysicsState.Sledding auto-toggle exists
anywhere in the named-retail decomp or ACE's PhysicsObj.cs -- the only
Sledding write site in any reference repo is a per-weenie game-data
property, not a physics landing response, so this issue must not wait on
inventing one.

AP-7 landed this session. TS-4's removal was attempted per its own
fixture-first requirement and reproduced the historical 2026-04-30 wedge,
so it stays deferred (see its register row and the research doc's §7 item
6). Closure pends TS-4 actually landing and a fresh capture against the
campaign's final visual-matrix item 5.

65de6921ce test(physics): TS-4 fixture-first attempt reproduces the 2026-04-30 wedge; shortcut stays
Campaign P Slice P2 step 2-3
(docs/research/2026-07-30-response-layer-edge-family-pseudocode.md §4, §6
Step 3). Per the research doc's own port order, TS-4's Path-6 steep-poly
shortcut may only be removed after a fixture reproduces the original
"stuck in falling animation on a steep roof" symptom cleanly with the
shortcut disabled. No surviving live-session fixture exists from the
2026-04-30 L.4 commit (b1af56e); this adds a dat-free multi-frame capture
(Ts4SteepRoofWedgeCaptureTests) using BSPStepUpFixtures.SlopedUnwalkable's
63.4 degree slope, replayed at 30 Hz with gravity integrated between
PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition calls -- the same idiom as
Issue185OutdoorStairsSeamReplayTests.

Against today's baseline (shortcut active) the capture is green, as
expected (the shortcut's explicit AddOffsetToCheckPos keeps the body
moving every tick by construction).

Scratch-removed the shortcut (both BSPQuery.cs sphere0/sphere1 branches,
not committed -- reverted after capture) and re-ran the same test: the
body falls and lands cleanly on the steep polygon at tick 17 (InContact,
OnWalkable=false, via retail's own permissive CTransition::check_walkable
LandingZ gate, pc:273202), then freezes at that exact position for the
rest of the run -- the exact historical wedge shape, tripping the test's
own >0.5s-frozen threshold at tick 33.

Root-cause diagnosis via ACDREAM_DUMP_EDGE_SLIDE=1: the freeze is upstream
of EdgeSlideAfterStepDownFailed/CliffSlide entirely (none of that
dispatch's diagnostics fire). TransitionalInsert's Phase 2 object-collision
check returns Adjusted on every retry attempt because Path 6's retail-
faithful SetCollide returns ADJUSTED_TS without repositioning the sphere
(unlike the interim shortcut, which explicitly pushes the sphere off the
face) -- the same steep polygon re-triggers Path 6 on the immediate retry,
forever, and Phase 3 (the sp.Collide handling that contains DoCheckWalkable,
the Placement re-test, and the TS-1 CliffSlide chain) is gated on Phase 1
AND Phase 2 both returning OK, so it is structurally unreachable from this
state. TS-1's completeness is moot here -- the code path that would call
into it never runs.

Per the mission's explicit escape valve: STOP here, keep the shortcut, and
report -- do not improvise a third variant. Full diagnosis, the exact
capture, and the concrete next research question (does retail's own
transitional_insert loop check sphere_path.collide on every iteration
regardless of Phase 2's own return value, or only when Phase 2 returns OK?)
are recorded in the research doc's §7 item 6 and the doc's headline; the
campaign plan's P2 section gets a matching status note.

Physics test suite: 1841 passed, 1 skipped (D4, pre-existing/unrelated), 0
failed.

local ACE reproduce nothing (consistent with the Coldeve rarity). Next
recurrence self-diagnoses; matrix scenario 11 is the structured re-test.

9355ddcec6 feat(physics): Campaign P P1 - stat-coupled movement (burden/stamina/vitae)
Ports the retail CACQualities/EncumbranceSystem/MovementSystem chain
(named-retail decomp pc 256393/412901-414050/416169-416320/695958+) so
PlayerWeenie's run rate, jump height, jump permission, and jump stamina
cost are real functions of burden, current stamina, and vitae/skill
enchantments instead of stubs.

Core:
- New EncumbranceSystem.cs (delegates to the already-verified
  BurdenMath formulas — one source of truth for the burden HUD and
  movement physics) and MovementSystem.cs (GetRunRate/GetJumpHeight/
  JumpStaminaCost/GetJumpPower, decomp-cited; ACE cross-referenced
  where BN dropped the general-case arithmetic entirely).
- PlayerWeenie rewritten as the CACQualities-shaped composition:
  CanJump gates on burden (<2.0 load, UN-8 — x87 polarity resolved by
  plausibility, Ghidra MCP unavailable this slice), JumpStaminaCost
  returns the real ceil((load+0.5)*power*8+2) cost and always affords
  it (matches decomp — retail's own function never refuses; "weak"
  jump comes entirely from the stamina==0 skill-zeroing gate inside
  InqRunRate/InqJumpVelocity, not a hard refusal), SetStamina wires a
  null="unknown, don't gate" sentinel preserving every pre-P1 test.
- EnchantmentMath.GetMod gained an optional StatModType flag filter
  (GetSkillMod convenience wrapper) so the SAME vitae/family-stacking
  machinery already used for vital-max buffs now also answers "what's
  the vitae+skill-enchantment-adjusted Run/Jump skill" — reusing the
  M3 active-enchantment state, not a new engine.

Runtime:
- RuntimeCharacterState now stores the pre-EnchantSkill base run/jump
  skill and recomputes the adjusted value (vitae first, then matching
  Skill-flagged buffs, floor 0.5, truncate) on every base push AND on
  every Spellbook.EnchantmentsChanged notification — a vitae change
  alone moves the produced rate without a fresh PlayerDescription.
- RuntimeMovementSkillState extended with Burden/CurrentStamina
  (RuntimeMovementSkillProjection.ApplyTo pushes both through the
  existing seam); LiveSessionEventRouter recomputes burden from the
  same Strength+aug-property+EncumbranceVal inputs the burden HUD
  already assembles (reacting to the same ClientObjectTable events)
  and pushes current stamina from LocalPlayerState vital updates.
- Wires the previously dead-lettered ReportExhaustion() R3-W4 seam:
  LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's OnMovementStatsUpdated callback re-
  applies the current snapshot to the live controller and forces an
  immediate movement re-evaluation on any skill/burden/stamina change.

Register: retires TS-5 (CanJump/JumpStaminaCost stubs) and AP-25 (no
vitae in pushed skill). Adds AP-127 (two minor unmodeled retail bonus
properties + the stamina-buff-adjusts-local-copy nuance, deliberately
out of the bounded "run/jump query path only" scope) and UN-8 (the
CanJump x87 polarity call, flagged for a future Ghidra MCP
confirmation pass). Extends TS-23 (PlayerKillerStatus not parsed) to
cover JumpStaminaCost's new pk parameter, hardcoded false pending P3.

Full pseudocode + retail citations + the vitae/skill-level finding in
docs/research/2026-07-30-stat-coupled-movement-pseudocode.md.

Release suite: Core.Tests 3977/2 skips, Runtime.Tests 425/0 skips,
App.Tests 3968/3 skips — all green. (One pre-existing, unrelated Debug-
only flake in LandblockBuildOriginTests reproduces on the pre-P1
baseline and passes in Release; not touched here.)

4f7e29f7cf fix(physics): AP-7 - port calc_friction's retail 0.25f threshold; retire AP-7, file AD-55
Campaign P Slice P2 step 3 (docs/research/2026-07-30-response-layer-edge-family-pseudocode.md
§1, §6 Step 5). The named retail decomp (CPhysicsObj::calc_friction,
pseudo-C:276694-276822, 0050ee70) independently re-confirms the 0.25f
threshold (derived twice, once per BN-rendered branch); the in-code claim
that "the decompile uses 0.0" traced to the older, unnamed FUN_0050f940
Ghidra chunk at a different address -- per CLAUDE.md the named decomp wins.

calc_friction now reads angle = dot(Velocity, GroundNormal); if (angle >=
0.25f) return; then unconditionally removes the normal-aligned velocity
component, then applies the existing (already-present but previously
unreachable) PhysicsState.Sledding-gated friction overrides. The BN-rendered
"two duplicated branches" around the state check is adopted as a single
linear function matching ACE's PhysicsObj.calc_friction shape -- the branch
split is most likely a BN decompiler artifact around one `if (state &
SLEDDING_PS)` block (ACE-derived, Ghidra-verify; low implementation risk
either way since ACE's reading is adopted regardless).

Why this doesn't repeat the reverted 2026-04-30 L.3c regression (naive 0.0
-> 0.25f bump dropped forward locomotion 3 -> 0.16 m/s): that test predates
the 2026-07-17 R6 "local player animation-owned grounded movement" landing.
PlayerMovementController (Runtime/Gameplay, out of this slice's scope) zeroes
Velocity.X/Y to exactly zero every tick before calc_friction runs whenever
animation root motion drives the walk, so friction has nothing horizontal
left to hammer on the production graphical local-player path. Pinned at the
PhysicsBody level (the only file this slice may touch) by
GroundedRootMotion_FrictionThreshold_DoesNotHammerLocomotionTests. The
headless/get_state_velocity path and remote/NPC movers still feed real
velocity into this function and remain the ones to watch if a similar
regression resurfaces there -- flagged in the retired AP-7 row for future
sessions working in Runtime/Gameplay.

Left an open, explicitly-flagged discrepancy: the raw decomp's Sledding
slope-flatness test computes cos(10 deg) (~0.984808) while ACE's port (and
acdream's prior dead code) compares GroundNormal.Z > 0.99999536f (~0.175 deg
from flat) -- physically different tests, neither confirmed this pass
(Ghidra MCP down). Kept 0.99999536f provisionally (least churn) and filed
AD-55 for just that constant rather than silently picking one.

Register: AP-7 retired with a corrected citation; AD-55 filed for the
cos(10 deg) question. Core.Tests: 3916 passed, 2 skipped (both pre-existing
and unrelated), 0 failed.

325fee7cbb docs+test(physics): retire stale TS-1 row; file AD-53/AD-54 for its two acdream-only branches
Campaign P Slice P2 step 1 (docs/research/2026-07-30-response-layer-edge-family-pseudocode.md
§2, §6 Step 1/2). The TS-1 register row (retail-divergence-register.md:238)
described work that is already done: SpherePath.PrecipiceSlide,
Transition.CliffSlide, and Transition.EdgeSlideAfterStepDownFailed are real,
tested ports of retail's edge_slide -> precipice_slide/cliff_slide chain
(pc:274316, pc:272397, pc:273001-273090). Its cited :1254 line was stale
stepping-loop code the file moved past.

The one real remaining gap (the back-probe fallback skipping retail's
walkable_check_pos/localspace_sphere recache before its second
precipice_slide call, pc:274318-274326 / 0050b4e0-0050b507) needed no
production code change: a fresh read of SPHEREPATH::get_walkable_pos
(0050a8f0), cache_localspace_sphere (0050c9d0), and set_walkable_check_pos
(00509ce0) shows that machinery exists to re-project a sphere across
retail's PER-CELL local coordinate frames. acdream's SpherePath.WalkableVertices
and GlobalSphere are populated in UNIFIED WORLD SPACE at assignment time
(SetWalkable/SetWalkableTransformed, SetCheckPos/RestoreCheckPos), so both
operands BSPQuery.FindCrossedEdge compares are already commensurable --
retail's recache is a no-op correction under this architecture, and
FindCrossedEdge never reads a sphere radius, so retail's walkable_scale
radius correction has no acdream counterpart either. Documented in-code at
the back-probe site with full citations, and pinned with
EdgeSlideBackProbePrecipiceSlideTests: a walkable polygon rediscovered near
GlobalCurrCenter, tested against GlobalSphere[0] restored to the original
failed target, crosses the edge and slides -- it does not wedge into
Collided (and the inverse case, standing inside the polygon with no edge
crossed, correctly still returns Collided matching retail's own
precipice_slide on a false find_crossed_edge).

TS-1's other two flagged gaps are real acdream-only compensating branches,
not retail reads, and get their own rows rather than being silently
retired alongside it:
- AD-53: CliffSlide's three-source reference-normal fallback chain
  (LastWalkablePlane -> LastKnownContactPlane -> world-up) vs retail's
  direct last_known_contact_plane.N use. A fresh read of
  last_known_contact_plane's maintenance (pc:272659-272668) confirms retail
  overwrites it unconditionally every validate_transition pass, including
  with a steep plane -- so the fallback chain compensates for AP-4's
  incomplete OnWalkable bookkeeping, not a retail-matching read.
- AD-54: the walkable-steepness reroute to CliffSlide before PrecipiceSlide
  when the stored walkable polygon itself is steeper than FloorZ. Retail's
  raw edge_slide has no such branch; the permissive LandingZ acceptance
  that makes this state reachable IS retail-faithful (TS-4's own
  BSPTREE::find_collisions citation), but whether retail's outer
  transitional_insert retry loop absorbs the resulting COLLIDED_TS some
  other way is not yet independently verified -- flagged open in the row.

Physics test suite: 1836 passed, 1 skipped (D4, unrelated to this change).

3a4782048e docs(research): Campaign P P2 response-layer edge family - AP-7 resolved, TS-1 mostly ported, #166 reattributed
AP-7's gate is the Sledding branch; ACE's linear calc_friction (0.25 dot
threshold, unconditional small-angle subtraction, Sledding overrides) is
the correct reading and the L.3c walking regression is architecturally
moot for the root-motion path. TS-1's register cite is stale dead code -
the PrecipiceSlide/CliffSlide/EdgeSlide chain is substantially ported
with one precise back-probe re-cache gap. #166 is a composite of
AD-25+AP-7+TS-4, not a missing Sledding auto-toggle (no client write site
exists). TS-4 removal is sequenced AFTER the TS-1 gap closes with
captured fixtures. #116 stays oracle-first. Port order + 8 open
Ghidra-verify questions recorded.

7a517ed02d docs: #262 triage round 3 - mode entry proven complete; [snap] apparatus found dead (DiagnosticLog never wired)
Outbound 0xF61C requires the published movement controller, so the login
seed ran; the residual suspect is a seeded (cell,pos) pair the resolver
cannot operate on. PhysicsEngine.DiagnosticLog has no production
assignment, so the #111 [snap] lines were structurally absent from the
Coldeve log - wiring it is a P6 prerequisite.

96d6b58465 docs: #262 triage round 2 - (e1) stale blocks refuted by the #192 gate; three probe-discriminable candidates remain
Zero landblock loads occurred before the login recenter (worker gated
until the real spawn center), so no stale Holtburg-frame physics blocks
ever existed. Remaining: (f) login SnapToCell seed race -> NO-LANDBLOCK
verbatim resolves, (e2) CellGraph/_landblocks skew, (g) root-motion Frame
not reaching the transition. The probe run's [resolve] line pattern
discriminates all three.

898d0f395b docs: #262 triage from the Coldeve acceptance log - hypothesis (a) demoted, stale-recenter survivors prime suspect (Campaign P P6)
Log facts: outbound MTS/AP flowed all through the run-on-spot window;
reveal collision=True is attested by the SAME _landblocks dict the
resolver walks; the 'unattributed' recenter is the default Holtburg
pre-login center -> first real position. Deduction: local display is
client-authoritative, so ACE rejection cannot pin the local body - the
defect is local zero-advance resolves. Prime suspect: login recenter may
not route through Slice E generation retirement, leaving stale
Holtburg-frame neighbor landblocks overlapping the new frame (#145
stale-offset class, neighbors were explicitly left by the 2026-06-20
center-only fix).
