Member-wise deletion of the three legacy resolver members named in
docs/research/2026-08-05-c5a-contract.md: PhysicsEngine.Resolve,
PhysicsEngine.HasCellSurface, and PhysicsEngine.ResolvePlacement. An
exhaustive receiver census over src/ found zero production callers of any
of the three — every production placement writer already reaches the
canonical PhysicsEngine.SetPosition transaction exclusively through
RuntimeSetPositionState (three call sites total). The deletion is purely
member-wise: IsSpawnCellReady and AdjustPosition, which shared the same
source region as the deleted members, are preserved byte-identical — every
remaining production caller of either (including PhysicsCameraCollisionProbe,
AdjustPosition's sole surviving production caller) is unaffected.
Companion changes:
- PlayerMovementController's 3-argument SetPosition test overload is renamed
to SeedPlacementForTest (internal) and CommitPreparedPosition is deleted;
83 call sites across 19 test files were mechanically renamed to match.
- Seven pinned test dispositions from the contract are executed:
3.1 (PhysicsEngineTests.cs: 11 legacy-resolver tests deleted, 6
ResolveWithTransition tests kept), 3.2/3.3/3.4 (re-point to canonical
SetPosition, with TransitionScratchDifferentialTests.cs additionally
gaining positive IsCommitted assertions after each bitwise comparison so
the differential proves a placement actually committed, not just that two
possibly-uncommitted results match), 3.5 (Runtime rename), and 3.6
(PlayerMovementPlacementTransactionTests.cs rewritten — its xmldoc now
states plainly that the render-root publish moved to
RuntimeSetPositionState.cs, but the sticky-release relocation claim was
false and is retracted; this disposition's coverage loss is the sticky
release path, not silently absorbed elsewhere).
- Stale `PhysicsEngine.Resolve`/`Resolve` doc citations in CellTransit.cs,
PlayerMovementController.cs, and HeadlessSessionWorldProjection.cs are
corrected to name the surviving canonical entry points by symbol
(SetPosition, AdjustSetPosition/AdjustPosition, ResolveWithTransition)
rather than fragile line numbers.
Retires AP-1 and AD-1 in docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md:
both rows described production zero-delta placement routing remaining on
the legacy resolver pending the Slice 4B2/4B route cutover; that resolver
no longer exists, so the condition each row tracked is now structurally
false rather than merely narrowed. AP-145 (routed through the prior commit)
and this commit's AP-1/AD-1 together bring the section counts to 101 AP / 47
AD active rows.
Builds on the AP-145 fix (previous commit) — this commit's staged tree was
independently rebuilt and its four suites independently rerun on top of
that commit before this commit was created, in addition to the combined
rebuild/rerun below.
Full-solution build: 0 errors (21 pre-existing warnings, all unrelated).
Suite results (combined tree): Core 4270/4271 passed (1 skip; the single
DatSoundCacheTests concurrent-decode-dedup failure is a known load-sensitive
race, confirmed passing standalone and unrelated to this change), Runtime
1176/1176, Headless 86/86, App 4132/4135 (3 skips).

Removes a duplicate placement authority for local-player portal arrival.
Portalling worked before this change and works after it — this is not a
bug fix, EXCEPT that it found and fixed one dead-code production bug.
THE PRODUCTION BUG: TryExecuteCanonicalPortalPlacement re-read the
accepted destination at Place time, but TryBeginPortalReveal already
consumes that slot at Aim time — so the arm was 100% dead code and every
real portal Place refused with host-token-unavailable. Found only
because we refused to accept 7 skipped tests instead of chasing the
count to zero.
RETAIL IS THE GENERIC PATH FOR THE THIRD ROUTE RUNNING:
SmartBox::TeleportPlayer @0x00453910 = SetPositionSimple(dest, 1) with
flags 0x1012, followed by PlayerPositionUpdated.
BOTH INVERSIONS, WITH THEIR ANCHORS: unlike route 2, the leash IS armed
here (ConstrainTo @0x0045418A) and velocity is zeroed
(set_velocity @0x004541B4); unlike route 4b-3, the local teleport_hook
runs AFTER placement (@0x004538AE).
THE THREE-ROUND DEFECT CHAIN, HONESTLY:
- Round 1 released the player at the pre-teleport position while the
anim stream marched on — the contract wrongly assumed Place re-fires
(process rule 1's third occurrence this campaign).
- Round 2's fix inferred commit from a global PendingCount, which three
non-committing paths also clear — making the SAME bug complete
cleanly and silently. Strictly worse than round 1: round 1 at least
tripped portal-complete-before-materialized.
- Round 3 latches the commit where it actually happens
(ReconcileAndAcknowledgePortal), keyed on reveal generation and
teleport sequence, via TryConsumePortalCommit. Two of the three
required regression tests landed and are sabotage-verified on both
hosts (ParkedPlace_ForgottenByOrdinaryMergeDoesNotLatchAsCommitted /
HeadlessPortalPrepareDestinationForgottenByOrdinaryMergeDoesNotLatchAsCommitted).
The third (force-arm-takes-the-slot) was judged unnecessary on review:
with the inference gone, PendingCount is only a "don't ask yet" guard
at both gates, so a force operation occupying or vacating the slot no
longer changes an input the commit decision reads — the case collapses
into what the landed test already discriminates.
THE B2/P3 RESOLUTION: both round-2 reviews were right about different
branches of the same synchronous call. RuntimePlacementProjectionSubscription
.OnPlacement acknowledges the FIFO head only when TryApply returns true;
a Place whose portal authority went stale (transit ended/superseded
while parked) used to return false, wedging every later entity's
placement receipt behind it forever. Both sinks
(RuntimePlacementPresentationSink, HeadlessRuntimePlacementProjectionSink)
now acknowledge-and-ignore a stale-authority Place instead of refusing
it. The regression test (RuntimePlacementPresentationSinkTests
.PortalPlace_StaleTransitHostOrSequenceIsAcknowledgedAndIgnored) had
been asserting the old, wrong `false` behaviour; it now asserts and
sabotage-verifies the fix.
Also lands: AP-144 (register discipline — the portal movement-event
send reuses the stricter UsePositionFromServer gate where retail's
SendMovementEvent is the looser autonomy_level != 0 test, diverging
only at level 1, currently unreachable), AP-145 + issue #318 (the
local-player collision-shadow presentation write bypasses its own
publisher's ShadowObjects write via a direct cache .Set(), self-healing
only once dedup diverges — filed, not fixed, pending a composition
test), AD-42 deleted (its last citation retired by the canonical portal
arm), AD-2 updated (the wait-cue's trigger predicate now covers a
second cause), and two documentation corrections: the enter_world
misattribution (both call sites are in SmartBox::HandleCreateObject,
only one in the player branch — portal arrival is TeleportPlayer, not
enter_world) and the stale "local player never reaches this path"
comment on the generic-remote-render-pose write.
Suite: 11,090 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed. No new skips, nothing
weakened.
STILL OWED: the connected two-client gate, with
ACDREAM_PROBE_LOCAL_TELEPORT=1, scored only if [local-tp] lines
actually appear in the capture — and explicitly NOT scored as covering
issue #318 (no composition test yet asserts PhysicsEngine.ShadowObjects
directly).

Campaign P remaining-physics-divergence, placement cutover slice C3c
(docs/plans/2026-08-02-placement-cutover.md). Both production hosts now
register every initial Create through the residence + continuation-
executor + first-entry-conductor machinery (C0-C3b):
- Graphical (route 1): RegisterEntityWithInitialResidence at Create; the
shared RuntimeFirstEntryDriveController pumps both conductors from the
placement-receipt flow; MaterializeProjection and RebucketLiveEntity
are presentation-only while a residence is ACTIVE (ExecutorCompleted is
the presentation-binding receipt); post-residence entities take the
full legacy path including the prepare_to_enter_world clock edges.
PlayerModeController attaches presentation to the Runtime-published
controller; its legacy resolve/step-heights/host-construction path is
deleted; presentation-only rollback (retail has no entry-flow rollback).
- Headless (route 8): OnSpawned registers with residence when a drive
exists; content-less sessions keep the pre-flip direct registration;
SynchronizeLocalPlayer/CreateController/ApplySetupStepHeights deleted;
prepared-collision read failure is a typed AwaitingCollisionSource
retry; far remotes outside the service window complete celless.
- RuntimeLocalPlayerMovementState.Controller setter sealed internal; all
controller mutation flows through the publication lifecycle.
Fix slices landed within this cutover, each dual-gated:
- F1: live movement-stat/server-physics application routed through the
Runtime ownership seam (post-logout ingest crash on the retired
controller eliminated; RuntimeMovementSkillProjection deleted).
- F2: login activation wedge - collision-admission prefix gate factored
out of the seal (reentrant-commit RejectedAuthority), rearm generation
identity corrected, PlayerModeAutoEntry requires the Runtime-published
controller (world reveal can no longer seal unmaterialized).
- F3: landblock-prefix 0-sentinel replaced by explicit absent-id guards;
map-corner landblocks (grid row/col 0) fully legal through admission,
park/rearm/retire, quiescence, and outdoor shadow seeds.
- F5: local-player first-entry ground contact seeded by the shared
SpawnPlacementSettler (moved App->Core) at FinalizeActivation - the
retail first-gravity-frame touch (enter_world 0x00516170 carries no
seed); the legacy unconditional force-seed is overwritten by a real
floor-found contact; airborne spawns stay airborne; outbound contact
bit verified end-to-end. Fixes the standing-cast 'You can't do that
while in the air!' rejections.
- R1 (dual-review round): login constraint leash armed at the committed
placement (HandleReceivedPosition 0x00453FD0 analog); register rows
AD-61 (settle-timing compression now covering the local player) and
AD-42 (repointed off the deleted resolve split) in this commit;
residence-conversion owner API; wire-landblock guards; drive-pending
ledger in IsConverged; route attach/detach latch; executor-drain drift
model documented + source-pinned.
Gates: Runtime 1,003, App 4,039/3 skips, Headless 79, complete solution
10,816/0 failed/4 skips (Release, -m:1); connected lifecycle/reconnect
gate PASS (logs/connected-world-gate-20260802-175401; graceful exits,
world-visible, zero airborne rejections). The nine-stop soak remains red
for the pre-existing 6b28ff99 whole-world collision-clone throughput
regression (attributed with evidence; scheduled as its own slice before
C5). Dual Opus reviews (retail-conformance + adversarial): delta PASS.

Move canonical per-session teardown into one retryable Runtime transaction, reduce App reset to projection acknowledgements, and prove the same GameRuntime graph through deterministic no-window lifecycle, gameplay, portal, fault, reconnect, and isolation gates.\n\nCo-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
Move remote-motion construction, CreateObject vector initialization, final simulation-component retirement, and the combined J5 ownership ledger into Runtime. Delete App compatibility views and moved-state reconstruction while preserving the existing graphical projection and retail update order.
Introduce one presentation-free RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime for the exact entity directory and ClientObjectTable. Make GameWindow, graphical projections, retained UI, interaction, session routing, create/delete integration, and reset borrow that owner while preserving synchronous retail ordering, dormant retention, and retry semantics.

Retail installs the destination CObjCell before hidden world simulation resumes. Rebucket the retained local-player projection inside the Place transaction so Hidden/UnHide scripts and particles settle behind the portal viewport instead of firing after reveal. Preserve the existing unloaded-cell scheduler gate and pin the ordering with a cross-landblock placement test.

Detach old-world spatial ownership atomically, prioritize destination retirement dependencies, and reveal the viewport at the retail transition edge. Give private paperdoll views independent mesh ownership and retain dormant ACE entities so portal revisits preserve server objects without extending active GPU lifetimes.
Join destination scheduling to the canonical reveal generation, protect its share across every typed frame-budget dimension, and prevent stale work from clearing a replacement reservation. Remove forced incomplete materialization and project retail's centered portal wait cue while the authored tunnel remains active.
Tests: Release build clean; 91 focused reservation/reveal tests; full solution 8,158 passed, 5 skipped.

Publish the retail blocking-for-cells edge before deferred recenter work, freeze old-world presentation/simulation/audio, and advance full-window retirement from exact metered entity and owner cursors. This removes synchronous portal teardown without allowing retained owners to remain observable.
Move streaming, live-session, hydration, local-player, combat, and teleport construction behind the typed Phase-7 boundary. Add exact-owner runtime bindings and focused spawn-claim classification so partial startup rolls back without retaining old session targets while preserving the accepted construction and frame dependencies.
