Retail draws cell geometry at the dat EnvCell origin verbatim; the
0.02 m lift was our z-fight stand-in (register row AP-32, deleted in
this commit). With the walk owning retail draw ORDER under
WorldDepthContract Less (first-drawn-wins: DrawBlock terrain-then-
objects per cell, DrawCells shells-then-contents), the coplanar
tie-breaks the lift compensated for are now resolved the way retail
resolves them.
Deleted at every site: the PortalVisibilityBuilder const + the
drawLiftZ Build parameter and its lifted exit-portal projection branch
(gate and drawn geometry now share ONE space); the seal/punch fan
lifts (DrawPortalDepthWrite + the walk's DrawWalkPunchFan); the
LandblockBuildFactory drawn-cell-transform lift (render and physics
share the one verbatim transform).
The #130 proof flipped exactly as its own doc predicted:
UnliftedGate_LeavesTheStripAtTheDrawnTopEdge is deleted (its premise -
gate space != drawn space - no longer exists), and the renamed
ExitDoorTopEdge_GateCoversTheDrawnApertureWithinPixelTolerance sweep
(147 eye/gaze combos at the Holtburg corner door) passes with both in
the same unlifted space (worst plane gap <= 1.2 px, scissor <= 0.15 px
- unchanged tolerances). Ten more replay-test call sites swept to the
new Build signature.

The retail frame walk now drives every production static draw. In
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawInside, when the concrete executor + the
packed product + the FW3.1 walk registries are all wired (all
production compositions - anything less throws):
- A pre-walk events-only collection pass (the shadow sink generalized
to WalkVisitedSetCollector) gathers the frame's visited cells,
buildings, and landscape-cell turns; the visited cells union into
prepareCells so EnvCellRenderer prepares every shell the driver
draws.
- DrawWalkDrivenStatics runs the WalkFrameDriver over the production
world data (WalkProductionWorldData over RenderSceneQuery + the
building registry): sky, terrain slices, outdoor statics at their
landscape-cell turns, buildings (alpha barrier -> punch/look-in
passes -> shell) in retail order, interior clear+seals as leaf
closures (the old tail block's drain reasoning moves with them),
flood cells shell-then-contents. Landscape/cell-stage particle
owners re-source from the walk's visited sets - retail gates
particles per cell turn (ShouldDrawParticles @0x0050FE60), which
this is; the old sphere filter was the approximation.
- DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase + DrawBuildingLookInDynamics carry the
dynamics-only remainder (LookInObject now dynamic-classified,
late outside-dynamics + weather, particle unions); DrawDynamicsLast
and the outdoor flush are unchanged.
- The product builder stops emitting LandscapeOutdoorStatic /
LandscapeBuildingShell / CellStatic (methods deleted, dead index
tracking removed); LookInObject loads cells with
includeStatics: false.
The old static path survives ONLY behind !walkActive for the
standalone/diagnostic executor-fake path that keeps 15 retail-ordering
regression tests exercising the barrier/punch/seal machinery; no
production composition can reach it. Its deletion is FW4 scope (the
plan's "deleting the patch apparatus") - recorded in the plan.
Transitional risks recorded in code/report: the two-pass walk cost
(FW3.4 measures), the interior slice-count reconciliation between the
old clip assembly and the walk's own exit-view survival, and the
outdoor merged-flood punch coverage now riding the walk's own
building-BSP punches (retail-faithful per FW1; the owner visual gate
verifies).
Suites (lead-verified): full Release build 0 warnings; hermetic
6,750/0 (baseline minus the three deleted route tests); Walk lane

Additive, nothing invokes it yet (the cutover flip is step 2):
- WalkProductionLeafRenderer + RetailPViewPassExecutor.WalkLeaf: the
walk driver's leaf turns over the SAME executor renderers the packed
path uses today - DrawWalkSky (the per-slice sky block looped under
one driver turn), DrawWalkTerrainSlice (the terrain block of
DrawLandscapeSlice), per-cell shells via EnvCellRenderer,
DrawWalkPunchFan (PortalDepthMaskRenderer far-Z, +ShellDrawLiftZ
matching today's DrawPortalDepthWrite until FW3.3 retires it), the
alpha barrier via FlushLandscapeAlphaFartherThan, and caller-supplied
clear/seal actions (the renderer owns the pass scope). The cutover
changes ORDER, never leaf mechanics.
- Punch fans now carry the ACTIVE VIEW INDEX end to end (retail pins
building_view = Render::portal_view_num @0x0059f3bf for the whole
two-pass walk; the fan clips by that view's slice planes):
PortalPassSink.ActiveViewIndex -> IWalkEventSink.OnPunchGeometry ->
IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.DrawPunchFan.
- The FW3.2b-2 rooting design is recorded in the plan (dual-compute
split, LookInObject route filtered to dynamics, consumer
re-pointing, gate list).

The oracle trace order DI|DC|LS is breakpoint-ENTRY order; retail's
actual DRAW order inside PView::DrawCells @0x005a4840 for an interior
root is LScape::draw FIRST (pc:432719, only when exit views survive),
then the depth clear (pc:432731-432732), the exit-portal seals
(pc:432785-432786), THEN the flood's own cells far-to-near. The
driver drew flood cells before the landscape - inverted.
RetailFrameWalk.DrawInside gains the additive
OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn(cells) hook firing after the conditional
landscape turn; the DC EVENT stays at its original point (conformance
untouched - 40/1 InstalledDat green). WalkFrameDriver records the
interior flood at the DC turn and draws it at the new turn:
flush -> ClearInteriorDepth -> flush -> DrawExitSeals -> per-cell
shell-then-contents. Building look-in floods still draw immediately at
their building turn (retail's reentrant DrawCells with no clear/seal).
Two new leaf members map to IWorldPassScope.ClearInteriorDepth and the
seal-fan machinery at FW3.2b-2. Reconciliation note recorded: the
driver clears unconditionally for interior roots while production
stages the clear on OutsideViewSlices>0 - observably equivalent at
ov=0, awaiting a firmer decomp read of the clear's gate.

WalkFrameDriver executes one full static-content frame from the walk's
turns so GPU command-buffer order equals retail's walk order. One rule
does the interleaving: the accumulated OrderedDrawStream flushes
through SubmitOrderedStream immediately before EVERY non-stream draw
(sky, terrain slice, cell shell, punch fan, alpha barrier).
Turn script, all decomp-cited and two of them corrected in review:
- Interior flood: per cell IN FLOOD ORDER, shell first then contents
(PView::DrawCells @0x005a4840: DrawEnvCell @0x005a4abe precedes
DrawObjCellForDummies @0x005a4b0d).
- Landscape: sky once, terrain per active slice, then blocks
far-to-near; per cell the building turn precedes the cell's outdoor
statics (DrawSortCell @0x0059f140).
- Building (DrawBuilding @0x0059f2a0): the BLD probe event stays at
entry, but the ENTIRE body - alpha barrier, portal passes, shell -
sits inside retail's gfxobj[deg_level]!=0 gate @0x0059f2d3, and the
order is FlushAlphaList @0x0059f30b -> the two-pass punch/look-in
walk -> THEN the shell draw @0x0059f345. The driver review caught
both the missing gate and a shell-before-punch inversion; fixed
with the addresses cited.
Walk seam: three additive default-implemented IWalkEventSink hooks
(OnLandscapeCellTurn / OnBuildingTurn / OnBuildingShellTurn /
OnPunchGeometry) - every existing sink and all FW1 conformance
fixtures unchanged. WalkLandBlock gains LandblockId for the cell-id
encoding. Leaf draws go through IWalkFrameLeafRenderer so FW3.2b-2
wires the real renderers and the referee suite runs on fakes +
RecordingGpuDevice.

The piece that turns walk-visited static content into draws, with no
production frame wiring (FW3.2b roots the frame):
- TryClassifyBatch: ONE shared per-batch classify core (the #426
untextured gate, #188 opacity promotion, texture resolve, foliage
classification, in the exact original order) extracted from
ClassifyBatches; the classic and packed classifiers now call it -
behavior-identical, proven by the full hermetic + InstalledDat +
Core Wb suites.
- ClassifyEntityForWalk / WalkClassifiedBatch: the per-entity seam
yielding per-batch keys + instance data WITHOUT InstanceGroup
bucketing, plus the per-part selection data (picking stays alive on
the walk path - the survey's unlisted-consumer fix).
- WalkStaticStreamPopulator: per-entity walk-ordered opaque appends
(under depth Less, opaque order is pixel-relevant only for coplanar
surfaces, which retail resolves first-drawn-wins in ITS order -
never material-grouped), translucent instances to the SAME
RetailAlphaQueue via SubmitWalkAlphaInstance (identical viewer
distances; walk-order submission improves retail's tie fidelity),
selection parts published per entity.
- SubmitOrderedStream now owns _orderedDrawCullModes, retiring the
FW2-recorded alpha-scope interleaving constraint;
DrawIndirectRangeRhi takes an optional cull array (all existing
call sites unchanged). The referee test was verified to FAIL
against the old shared-scratch behavior.
- WalkDrawStage.OutdoorStatic added for the landscape turn.

The retail frame walk's world model now materializes from production
landblock-build owners through the legal IDatReaderWriter seam, with
zero frame wiring (FW3.2 roots the frame):
- WalkCellFactory: WalkCell built in the SAME pass as LoadedCell
(EnvCellLandblockBuild.BuildVisibilityCell) from the raw portal
Flags/polygons/planes/stab lists already parsed there; stored as
LoadedCell.Walk, committed atomically with the cell. The
fixture-pinned decodes (inverse-0x2 portal side, 0xFFFF->0xFFFFFFFF
exit widening) live here.
- WalkBuildingFactory + WalkBuildingRegistry: the production
WalkBuilding build (drawing BSP with PORT nodes, degrade ladder,
portal sides/stab lists, sort center, model frame) from the SAME
LandBlockInfo the streaming build already fetches, under the
factory's existing DAT lock - closing the gap where BuildingLoader
drops every walk field at load.
- WalkLandscapeAssembler: the retail 51x51 viewer-centred grid
(mid_radius 25) fed incrementally from landblock publish/retire;
per-block z-slab (heightTable[max]+200 / [min]-1) computed
worker-side in LandblockBuildFactory from the heights already in
hand. O(1) SetViewer on same-block frames.
- WalkProductionFrameContext: the walk's frame contexts over
CellVisibility + WalkBuildingRegistry with a generic
inverse-view-projection ray caster (rays feed cross products only -
scale-free) and the znear=0.1 CY plane.
- Publication: LandblockRenderPublisher owns both walk registries,
publishing in the same AdvanceCompleteOne step as BuildingRegistry
and retiring in RemoveBuildingRegistry - same commit, same
retirement, no new ticket stage.
Conformance: ALL TEN oracle fixtures replay identically through the
PRODUCTION builders (WalkProductionWorldConformanceTests) - same
signatures as the test adapter, first run. Known gap documented for
FW3.2: far-tier landblocks carry no EnvCell transaction, so their
z-slab never reaches the assembler.

The walk-order submission layer over the existing RHI (plan section FW2):
- OrderedDrawStream: append-only walk-ordered draw commands
(GroupKey + transform + per-instance data + WalkDrawStage + cell
provenance), struct-of-arrays with one lockstep Reset (#193 shape).
The PortalPunch stage exists but has no FW2 submission path - the
submitter throws on it; punch emission lands with FW3 wiring.
- WbDrawDispatcher.OrderedStream partial: per-instance-first emission
(the deferred-alpha shape - command i owns instance i, walk order
survives into the indirect array), each SSBO section written once,
then one DrawIndirectRangeRhi call per maximal merge run. Runs are
built by pure-CPU BuildOrderedMergeRuns and may never span a stage,
pipeline-bucket, or cull boundary; ValidateMergeRun re-checks every
emitted run and throws (the campaign fail-loud rule). Nothing is
sorted, reordered, or dropped: N commands in, N indirect commands
out, covered exactly once.
- WorldDepthContract: retail world depth verified verbatim from the
decomp - Render::zfuncVal @0x00820e1c = 0x2, SetDepthBufferMode
@0x005a2d10 writes the enum directly as D3DRS_ZFUNC so the value IS
D3DCMP_LESS, applied by the surface-state applier @0x0059c80a with
Z-write toggled by blend; the LESSEQUAL sites are GameSky::Draw-local.
Seven world pipeline sites now cite the named constant (no value
changes).
- Plan updated: FW1 status block + gate amendment (the ten pose-stamped
retail traces supersede re-expressing the old-builder replay
fixtures; those retire with the old builder at FW4 and their
scenario classes re-verify at the FW3/FW4 connected gates).
Known FW2 scope notes recorded in the code: the building-detail
overlay replay is production wiring (FW3); the _drawCullModes scratch
may not interleave with a mid-flight RetailAlphaQueue scope (FW3
sequencing constraint). The pixel A/B equivalence proof rides FW3's
cutover toggle where a walk-driven scene first exists.

Render::deg_mul is auto-tuned by frame load and SWUNG between oracle
captures: doorway-still ran right after the heavy terrace-edge capture
with the multiplier depressed (mul <= 0 puts thresholds at/below ideal,
so 001e/0026/002f select the portless level 1 - retail's zero look-in
floods, reproduced exactly at mul = 0), while every other fixture pins
~ +0.99 (thresholds at max). The recon session's "-0.99" live dump was
real - taken under the same cdb load. RetailFrameWalk now exposes the
multiplier; the doorway test pins 0, the rest use the default.
foundry-entry: frames 1-66 reproduce exactly; the F67-F79 standing
segment diverges ONLY in building 0036's intra-building DC order
(retail 116,118,11d vs replay 11d,116,118). The BSP-traversal microscope
pins the flip to 0036's ROOT plane (N=(0,0,-1) D=2.8): replay eye z
2.33 (d=+0.47, NEG-first) vs retail behaving as d<0 (POS-first) - a
structural ~0.5 m frame question (positionPush(2)/part-scale), only
adjudicable live. Turnkey probe:
tools/walk-oracle/fw1-f67-viewpoint-probe.cdb.

The moving-fixture divergence was the building degrade ladder:
GfxObjDegradeInfo::get_degrade @0x0051e4b0 (Ghidra-verified - BN's
FPU-flag pseudo-C misread BOTH arm selection and one formula) slides
each level's threshold from ideal toward MAX as the multiplier
approaches 1, and the live client runs the positive arm at ~0.99, so
level 0's portal-bearing BSP survives to ~max_dist (48 for the Holtburg
cottages), not ideal (24). The recon note's "deg_mul = -0.99" was a
sign misread; the negative arm's threshold slides toward MIN and
contradicts the fixtures from both directions. With the two-arm port,
holtburg-walkout, holtburg-transitions, and holtburg-walkabout pass
every pairable frame - the walkout-F2 microscope's prediction
(103,100 | 100x3 | 124 through the cottage exit views) landed exactly.
Also this round, falsified and reverted: a BN-driven swap of the
portal walker's negative/in-plane arms (Ghidra shows side 1 = negative
EMITS, side 2 = in-plane does not - the original port was correct; the
swap broke four fixtures). The walker docs and unit tests now pin the
Ghidra-verified truth table.
Parked with findings: foundry-entry F67 (right flood set, one
plane-side classification at the +/-eps boundary orders 11d before
116/118) and doorway-still (retail shows zero floods at a pose one
meter from walkout-F2's flooding pose; multi-portal clip boundary).

The moving driver gains adjacent-pose tolerance (the marker-lag capture
artifact) and stays parked: the four moving fixtures diverge at
punch-edge frames under BOTH adjacent poses. FALSIFIED this round and
reverted: the raw-decode + flipped-gates convention (it broke three
still fixtures - the inverted-decode convention stands, six still
fixtures frame-exact). Remaining instruments in the Skip note: znear,
per-view punch ordering inside DrawMesh, exit-view precision.

Three final pins complete the still-fixture set: (1) the CELL portal
side decode is the INVERSE of the 0x2 bit (uniform with the building
convention; the doorway-still flood proved it - ov=2 n=3 exact, and
foundry-deep stays green); (2) interior frames key the landscape order
off the OUTSIDE-projected landcell (get_outside_cell_id - derived from
the camera origin); (3) the outdoor pview has draw_landscape=FALSE so
look-in floods discard exit portals - the ov=0 pattern of every traced
look-in. CONFORMANT: foundry-deep (every frame), doorway-still,
street-outdoor, terrace-center, terrace-edge (the #456 acceptance
pose), cathedral-arrival - full frames identical to retail. The moving
four diverge only at punch-edge frames (walkabout F9, foundry-entry
F67) - pose-timing sensitivity parked in the driver Skip note.

Three pinned corrections close the outdoor frame: (1) the camera basis
RE-pinned to +Y-forward - the terrace-edge fixture EXTERNAL ground
truth (the ledge faces the F518 vista, east) overrules the walkabout
motion sweep, whose camera was mouse-turned off the run line; (2)
alwaysDrawObjects (.data default 1 @0x00820ed4) drawn into the
DrawSortCell gate - cell contents draw for every cell of an in-view
block; (3) the building portal side decode data-pinned as the INVERSE
of the cell 0x2 bit (the sweep winning arm). Street result: all 13
buildings in retail exact order (a9b3003c in, aab50002 correctly
absent), punches at exactly 001a and 0022 opening the exact first
cells 16e/164. SOLE remaining delta: look-in flood depth (mine 1 cell,
retail 3-4) - the doorway-still fixture adjudicates the interior flood
in isolation next.

Per-portal dump for the street fixture (archived beside the fixtures):
retail punched exactly the buildings whose portal polygons MY camera
model clips to NOTHING (001a/0022: clipN=0, doorways ~75 deg off my
north-facing axis) and skipped the ones mine puts on-screen (001e/0026:
clipN=4-6) - a clean inversion isolating the final look-in delta to
either the camera FACING decode (re-check the terrace-edge fixture
against its known vista direction; the motion sweep's 20-degree
residual is now suspect) or a portal-pass clip mechanism that does not
gate on the active view (cdb ConstructView(CBldPortal) trace next
retail session). All layers above are retail-pinned.

bands; the adapter fills sort centers; the replay context measures to
the transformed sort center. Sweep state after the rule: the level-0
building set is now correct; the residual divergence is the per-portal
side/clip gate (my arms punch a near-complement of retail two) - the

The offline degrade probe proved the mechanism: every Holtburg building
carries PORT nodes ONLY in its level-0 GfxObj (out to ~24-48 m); every
degraded level has zero. Retail walks the CURRENT degrade level BSP
(part->gfxobj[deg_level]) - that is what limits look-in punches to the
nearest buildings. WalkBuilding gains the degrade ladder +
SelectDrawingBsp (band pick; UpdateViewerDistance hysteresis is a port
TODO), the walk selects per viewer distance, the adapter builds
per-level BSPs, and the stab-list load rule (CLandBlock::init_buildings
@0052fd80: a full-res block loads exactly its buildings portal stab
cells) replaces load-everything in the landscape builder. The sweep now
shows clean rosters with all far-building punches gone; remaining
deltas: the near buildings 001a/0022 (50 m/28 m center distance vs the
48 m band edge - sphere-adjusted distance/hysteresis to port) and the
one ring-1 frustum boundary pair (aab50002/a9b3003c).

The per-building join diagnostic PASSES (001a/0022 portal tables lead
exactly to the traced a9b4016x punch cells; every BSP PortalRef indexes
validly), and the eight-arm gate-decode sweep proves NO plane-sign x
side-flag combination reproduces retail. Together they pin the missing
mechanism: CEnvCell::GetVisible gates punches by the LOADED interior
cell set around the player - retail punched only the two buildings
nearest the player cell; the replay loads every interior so geometry
alone over-punches. Next port piece: the interior load radius (the
landcell stab-list pull). Both diagnostics stay in the suite (the sweep
Skip-parked with the verdict).

The moving-fixture sweep pinned the pose decode (quat storage w,x,y,z;
facing = rotated +X; the consistent triple right=-rot(Y), fwd=rot(X),
up=rot(Z) - mean 20.8 deg vs motion, alternatives >=52). With it the
street-outdoor BLD roster and order match retail EXACTLY except one
ring-1 boundary pair (aab50002 extra / a9b3003c missing). Look-in
punches fire at the wrong buildings under BOTH GfxObj plane-winding
conventions (retail punched only 001a and 0022 into the a9b4016x
cells) - the next adjudication targets the PortalRef.PortalIndex join
and the BuildingPortal side-flag decode via a per-building dump. The
driving diff test carries the state in its Skip note; the flip toggle
stays for the next arm.

WalkLandscapeDatBuilder assembles the replay grid with the LIVE-dumped

pyramid observed on the capture client: side_cell_count 8 in the 3x3
core, 4 at ring 2, 2 at rings 3-4, 1 beyond; buildings attach only to
full-res blocks - matching the traces roster), retail z-slabs
(heightTable[max]+200 / [min]-1 per CLandBlock unpack @0052f297), and
camera-block-local coordinates. The replay context gains the building
half (placements, active-view install, building-polygon clip). The
street-outdoor conformance diff now reaches real adjudication: the walk
over-culls six traced buildings (jagged boundary - not a clean frustum
edge) and the look-in floods differ; the driving test is parked Skip
while the visibility map is instrumented.

foundry-deep fixture - the pure-interior frame shape - reproduces
retail EXACTLY on every complete frame: DI + DC(ov=0, [cell]) with no
landscape, 39/39. Conventions are now pinned by live retail output; the
remaining nine fixtures need the outdoor world build-out (landscape
blocks, terrain z-slabs, building transforms + active-view clip) and

The second decomp round (flood bookkeeping/propagation, view-clip
support, landscape visibility) is archived Ghidra-arbitrated - it caught
a load-bearing BN inversion (InsCellTodoList pops NEAREST-first, which
is what makes the draw list far-to-near) and three more traps (the 192m
elided constant, the min/max double positional swap, the copy_view
cross order - the walk doc section 6 is corrected). WalkVisibilityMath

LandWalkOrder ports LScape::get_block_order @0x00504c50 (near-to-far ring
list, walked backwards by LScape::draw), CLandBlock::calc_sq_draw_order
@0x0052f4a0 (cell array filled backwards from the closest cell),
LandDefs::get_dir @0x005a9aa0, and the 9-case closest-cell direction
switch. The shared 8-slot ring coefficient tables were byte-decoded from
the PDB-paired binary (block VA 0x0081cc6c.., cell VA 0x0081df88.. -
identical sets); the intra-ring visit order is preserved exactly because
it decides draw order between equidistant blocks and the oracle traces
pin it. Thirty focused tests cover coverage/ordering invariants, the
hand-expanded ring-1 pattern, and the direction/closest-cell contracts.

WalkOracleTrace parses the FW0 retail traces (frames of LS/BLD/DI/DC
events, truncated detach frame dropped) and loads fixtures from the
research directory. Nineteen tests pin the load-bearing shapes: the far
building drawn every terrace-edge frame, the cathedral roster cull, the
stable doorway root, the one-frame walkout handover, camera-cell rooting
(porch-cam), the foundry landscape drop, and bit-identical stationary
frames. FW1 conformance builds on these.

Retail draws every cell's objects inside LScape::draw's far-to-near walk
(DrawSortCell @0x005A17C0) and drains the one delayed-alpha list at the
DrawCells boundary AFTER the finished walk (@0x005A4872). Our outdoor
frame drained at the landscape-stage end and then drew punches, interior
shells, cell objects, and ALL dynamics — every one of those opaque
passes overwrote the already-composited flames (the reopened#132
candle class: "the door draws over the candle", creatures at openings).
Depth and barrier A/Bs were no-ops because the eraser is opaque color
painted after the drain.
Two retail-cited ordering corrections, outdoor-node roots only:
1. The stage-boundary drain is skipped and FlushLandscapeAlpha() runs
after DrawDynamicsLast, where the frame's opaque world depth is
complete — the one far-to-near list composites over everything,
exactly like retail's boundary flush relative to its finished walk.
2. Before DrawExitPortalMasks, FlushLandscapeAlphaFartherThan(
ExitPortalMaskBarrierDistance(...)) drains everything at or beyond
the nearest cell whose exit-portal mask is about to write far-Z —
retail DrawBuilding @0x0059F2A0 runs FlushAlphaList(0f) BEFORE its
portal-only pass, so in the far-to-near walk nothing already drained
can meet a punched aperture's falsified depth. Without this, the
first correction let exterior waterfalls z-pass across punched
apertures whose true landscape depth the punch erased (found live at
the cathedral gate). Nearer content stays queued and legitimately
composites in front of punched structures.
Interior roots keep the pre-clear stage-boundary drain unchanged.
User-gated live: Holtburg sign candle whole in front of the sign and
tower door at the aligned pose; cathedral waterfalls contained at every
camera zoom, inside and outside. Register row AP-236 retired (the
walk-order outcome reconstruction is complete; AP-34 remains the
umbrella for the CYpt-sort reconstruction itself). Filed #456 for the
separate occluded-distant-building/creature admission residual this
session diagnosed.

The paperdoll was visible only in portal space. Root cause: the classic
WbDrawDispatcher.Draw path appended its transforms into the SHARED world
transform frame (WorldTransformFrameArena.Append) with a non-zero base
instance, but the default mesh shaders index every parallel per-instance
array - clip slots, light sets, indoor, OPACITY, selection lighting,
detail category - zero-based; only the packed world submission's shader
convention subtracts the shared-arena prefix. With a world frame active
the doll drew all instances at per-instance opacity 0 into a cleared
target: counted draws, blank pixels, deterministic. Portal space worked
because no world transform frame is active there, so the same code took
the ring path with base 0. The private viewports are the only production
consumers of the classic path, hiding the defect everywhere else.
Fix: WbDrawDispatcher.NextClassicDrawIsPrivatePass - the private
viewport renderer marks its draw and WriteWorldTransformSection routes
private passes onto the plain ring path unconditionally (self-contained
render state: the private pass owns its own camera, lighting, and
target, and must not depend on the world frame's pose address space).
Also landed, each independently justified:
- Per-GPU-flight-slot private targets (PrivateViewportFlightTargets),
restoring the pre-f6fe0f2a design: that revert's claim that frame
submission order protects the single target's write->sample transition
is not guaranteed across Vulkan command buffers. Per-slot completed
scenes fix the cleared-sibling-after-reveal wart the old attempt had.
- Paperdoll resource preparation moved to the frame resource phase
(IPrivateEntityViewportResourcePreparation) before world draws consume
the bounded composite-upload budget.
- The presenter redresses on every dirty edge (an appearance-equal clone
can pin retired readiness across generations; the renderer's two-phase
promote keeps the last completed image visible during replacement),
publishes only non-zero handles, and clears the viewport exactly once
at the explicit character-session boundary.
Verified live on the clean build: doll visible in the NORMAL world,
visible through portal space, and still visible after arrival - the
exact reported repro cycle. 26 paperdoll/private-viewport/preparation
tests plus 60 renderer-suite tests pass; owner visual gate pending.

Two retail-parity corrections on top of 684380d4, user-gated together
(no regressions; door/creature-through-opening rendering verified live
at Holtburg; cathedral waterfall and look-north casts pass):
1. Drawn-once look-in dynamics. Retail marks every drawn non-player
part for the frame (DrawMeshInternal @0x0059F360 GetDrawnThisFrame), so
an object draws once, with its cell. acdream drew a look-in cell's
dynamics twice under an outdoor root - once correctly with the look-in,
then again in dynamics-last after the boundary alpha drain, where the
second draw overpainted nearer flames. Both the accepted path
(_lookInCellIds) and the frame product (BuildDynamicLastRoute) now
exclude dynamics whose parent cell drew as a look-in.
2. Pre/inter-building barriers drain only content FARTHER than the
building they precede (FlushLandscapeAlphaFartherThan +
RetailAlphaQueue.FlushFartherThan + conservative anchor-origin
threshold). Retail's far-to-near walk guarantees a building's
FlushAlphaList(0f) @0x0059F2A0 has only farther content queued; a
nearer emitter composites at a later flush. AP-236 documents the
remaining barrier-order divergence.
The #132 candle-before-door overdraw is NOT yet fixed by these steps
and stays open: the current suspect is that houses without a
constructed look-in still draw their interior-parented door in
dynamics-last after the outdoor candle's boundary drain (see the
2026-08-29 ledger for the retail flush-after-objects hypothesis).

Retail never clips a particle to a portal view: each emitter's polys
join the ONE alpha list during its owner cell's far-to-near walk turn
(LScape::draw @0x00506330 iterates block_draw_list reversed; DrawBlock
@0x005A17C0 walks cells; ShouldDrawParticles @0x0050FE60 gates by cell
and distance), and occlusion is the depth test at FlushAlphaList
@0x0059D2E0 (its float is a COUNT threshold - 0f = flush all). The
1d2f2f73 architecture instead re-submitted particles once per
OutsideView slice under that slice's hardware clip slot, which cut
effects at aperture boundaries and drew nothing when no outside slice
was in view (the cathedral look-north disappearance).
Now: unattached emitters submit once per frame by owner-cell kind
(outdoor landcells in the landscape stage, interior EnvCells in the
final world scope - new UnattachedEmitterCellScope filter); cell,
shell-route, barrier-static, and late-stage owners submit their
per-slice cone-cull UNION once with clipSlot 0; and particles emit in
the stage matching their PARENT CELL - an interior dynamic whose
sphere straddles an exit-portal plane keeps its mesh in both stages
(#118) but its particles move to the final pass, so the interior
stage can no longer repaint over them (the aperture-band star cut).
Also lands the inert Change-2 primitives for the AP-236 retirement
(candle-behind-door): RetailAlphaQueue.FlushFartherThan drains only
the far prefix without resetting sources, plus the executor
passthrough and the conservative look-in threshold helper - nothing
calls them yet.
User-gated 2026-08-29 round 2 at the Sanctuary Cathedral: spell and
recall stars cover the whole room at every camera direction including
north; waterfall containment holds on retail's depth/seal mechanism;
adjacent-room particles/lights, walls, Holtburg, recall unregressed
(paperdoll remains pre-existing intermittent #443). Register: AP-236
filed for the remaining barrier-order divergence.

Look-in rooms (cells reached through building portals) drew their
geometry but never entered the visible-cell set consumed by the
particle gate and the point-light candidacy scope, so their emitters
stayed frozen and their lanterns dark until the player entered or the
camera left the building. Retail has no look-in split:
ShouldDrawParticles @0x0050FE60 gates on cell->IsInView(), and a cell
installed by DrawBuilding @0x0059F2A0 -> PView::ConstructView
@0x005A57B0 is drawn by the same DrawCells traversal as any flooded
cell, so it is in view identically (per-cell in_view stamped by
PView::InitCell @0x005A4B70).
RetailPViewFrameResult now carries InViewCells (main flood + look-in
cells, the existing prepareCells union; the borrowed-scratch contract
is unchanged because RecycleLookInFrames runs at the start of the next
DrawInside). WorldSceneRenderer feeds InViewCells to
ParticleVisibilityController and the point-light scope. DrawableCells
is untouched for seals, the outside-stage predicate, diagnostics, and
the packed-product referee. The legacy 4-arg Reset defaults
InViewCells = DrawableCells for standalone callers.
User-gated 2026-08-29 at the Sanctuary Cathedral: adjacent look-in
rooms show particles and lantern lights from the root cell without
entry or an outside camera; recall/waterfall/Holtburg/paperdoll
unregressed. The pre-existing #132-family candle-behind-opening
report remains open and is unchanged by this fix.

Harden keyboard and camera routing, inventory and vendor interactions, chat/emotes, relog portal flow, and paperdoll rendering. Add retail research, connected gate coverage, and release-gate validation.
Two owner-reported defects at the Campaign AS connected gate on the
examination window (player targets): the animated paperdoll no longer
renders at all, and a "reserved black rectangle" appears at the window's
bottom with the character extras list clipped mid-row at default (310x400)
window size.
ROOT CAUSE — extras-list overflow (the "clipped mid-row" half of defect 2):
NOT a code bug. AS3 (armor-level trio) and AS4 (society/allegiance/
configurable extras) grew the extras list past its DAT-authored 87px region
(element 0x10000335) at the window's minimum size — a new hermetic
regression test proves the worst-case combination (every AS3+AS4 addition
at once) reaches 20 rows / 400px of content, a 4.6x overflow. But retail's
own LayoutDesc authors NO scrollbar for this listbox either
(ScrollbarElementId == 0, verified against both the committed fixture and a
fresh tools/LayoutDump read of the live installed DAT — no drift), and the
SAME test proves UiItemList's pre-existing, unmodified wheel-scroll handler
(OnEvent's UiEventType.Scroll branch) already reveals every row on the next
paint. A scrollbar-less, wheel-scrollable list clipped to its authored
region until the user scrolls or resizes IS retail's own already-correctly-
ported mechanism, not a regression — so no fix was made here.
ROOT CAUSE — paperdoll / "black rectangle" (defect 1): NOT ISOLATED despite
exhaustive investigation. Every file the Campaign AS diff touches
(AppraisalUiController.cs, RetailUiRuntime.cs, CreatureAppraisalRows.cs,
AllegianceRankTitleTable.cs, CharacterIdentityText.cs,
CharacterSheetProvider.cs, InteractionRetainedUiComposition.cs, plus two
unrelated mechanical PublicWeenieFlags-literal refactors) was reviewed in
full against the pre-Campaign-AS baseline. The same worst-case regression
test proves Apply/ApplyCreature/RebuildCreatureStats/BuildExtra never throw
and always leave ActiveView == Character, CurrentObjectId != 0, and the
viewport's full ancestor-visibility chain Visible == true — ruling out
RetailCreatureAppraisalFrameView.TryGetVisibleTarget's first three gates.
CreatureAppraisalPresentation.cs and LivePresentationComposition.cs (the
entire render-time viewport pipeline) are byte-for-byte unchanged across
the whole 974fe88a..87e98395 window. UiViewport.OnDraw draws NOTHING (not
black) when its TextureSlot is unassigned, and the creaturePanel's own
full-panel backdrop (0x10000141) is what would show through instead — the
most likely explanation tying both defects to ONE underlying condition, but
its exact trigger (TryGetVisibleTarget's CurrentObjectId check, or
TrySynchronize's live-entity/mesh-availability check) lies in code nothing
in Campaign AS touches, and could not be reproduced hermetically (needs a
live entity + a live examine exchange).
Filed #443 with the full investigation trail. Added a temporary,
state-change-gated diagnostic probe (ACDREAM_PROBE_CREATURE_APPRAISAL_
VIEWPORT=1, CreatureAppraisalViewportDiagnostics) at both
TryGetVisibleTarget and TrySynchronize so the next live repro pinpoints the
exact failing reason instead of another guess. Per CLAUDE.md's "no
workarounds without explicit approval" and the investigation mode's own
escape hatch ("if you cannot root-cause, say what runtime evidence you
need instead of shipping a guess"), no behavioral fix was shipped for
defect 1.
Tests: AcDream.App.Tests hermetic filter 6,337/0; full-solution hermetic
suite 15,612/0 (all 14 projects green, including the known #442 flake,
which did not trip this run).

The AS5 review verified the port exhaustively (170/170 strings, 20
dispatch arms, 17 bounds tests, both call sites) and found one docs-class
defect: five code comments plus the plan slice text claimed AP-109 was
RETIRED while the register correctly keeps the row ACTIVE-narrowed (CT4
FormatXp GetNumberFormatA approximation sliver survives). Comment-only
edits; compile-checked; no behavior change.

Ports the 17-function heritage×gender AllegianceSystem::GetTitle
@0x005B8DD0 dispatch and AllegianceData::GetFullName @0x005B6950 as
AllegianceRankTitleTable (src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/), then wires both
retail call sites: the examination window's title bar
(AppraisalUiController.BuildCharacterTitleBarName, from ApplyCreature's
character branch) and the character panel's name line
(CharacterSheetProvider.BuildSheet).
Census confirmed directly against the decomp (matches AP-109's
2026-08-25 correction exactly): 11 heritages -> 17 functions. Gearknight
and Tumerok author only a MALE Get*Title function, reused for both
gender dispatch branches; Lugian authors only a FEMALE one, reused for
both. Heritage id 0xA (Penumbraen) aliases to the Shadowbound (5)
functions on both branches. Olthoi/OlthoiAcid (12/13) are excluded by
GetTitle's own unsigned range check (heritage-1) <= 0xa. Every one of
the 17 functions shares an identical unsigned rank bounds test
(rank-1) > 9 -> no title (valid range 1..10; there is no "clamp to
rank-10 title" behavior for an out-of-range rank). All 170 title
strings transcribed verbatim from the decomp, including several
PE-byte-recovered data-literal indirections in the Sho/Gearknight/
Tumerok tables ("Kou", "Ou", "Dux", "Ona", "Rea", "Tah") that match
published AC lore exactly.
GetFullName: title = GetTitle(rank, heritage, gender); when GetTitle
resolves nothing, the output is the plain name; when it resolves, the
output is "title" + a single ASCII space (PE-byte-recovered at
data_794098) + name.
Two call sites independently re-verified against the decomp for the
rank/heritage/gender property ids: CharExamineUI::SetAppraiseInfo's
local AllegianceData struct (proven by its ctor/dtor pair) never shows
an explicit field write for _rank/_hg/_gender in the decompile — a
Binary Ninja struct-flattening artifact, not a missing read — while
gmStatManagementUI::UpdateCharacterInfo shows the same three
CBaseQualities::InqInt(0x71/0xbc/0x1e) calls as plain, unambiguous
locals, confirming Gender=0x71/HeritageGroup=0xBC/AllegianceRank=0x1E
as the three inputs at both sites (ruling R8: read live off the
appraisal/qualities bundle, never RuntimeAllegianceState).
Register: AP-109 is NARROWED, not retired. Its stated risk (a ranked
character's Name line showing plain-name-only) is closed, but the same
CT4 narrowing also flagged FormatXp's non-byte-identical
GetNumberFormatA approximation as "this row's own residual sliver if
one is ever found" — that caveat is untouched by this slice and is now
the row's only surviving open item.
Tests: AllegianceRankTitleTableTests (per-function golden values,
gender-reuse rules, Penumbraen alias, Olthoi exclusion, rank/heritage/
gender bounds, GetFullName composition); AppraisalUiControllerTests
(title-bar prefix, plain-name fallback, monster-path regression pin);
CharacterSheetProviderTests (name-line prefix + plain-name fallback).
