Three unpack_movement parity items (facade deferred per the handoff's
own optional clause — see r5-wiring-handoff §V4 status):
1. HEAD style-on-change (0x00524440 @00524502-0052452c): both GameWindow
routing heads (remote + player) now dispatch DoMotion(style, ctor
defaults) when the UM's stance differs from the interp's current
style, BEFORE the movement-type routing — for EVERY type. Previously
style applied only through the mt-0 funnel copy, so a chase/turn UM
(mt 6-9) carrying a stance change started the move in the OLD stance
(a monster charged in NonCombat posture until the next mt-0). The
RetailObserverTraceConformanceTests exclusion note updated — the
trace filter stays (head calls can't appear in a
MoveToInterpretedState replay) but the production gap it pointed at
is closed.
2. #164 (closes): the action-replay loop threads each action's autonomy
into the dispatch params (Autonomous = the 0x1000 splice, raw
305982) — replayed actions enter the interpreted actions list with
their real autonomy instead of ctor-default false.
3. mt-0 wire flags consumed (UpdateMotion parsed them since R4-V3):
0x1 StickToObject → CPhysicsObj::stick_to_object port (0x005127e0:
resolve target, PartArray radii — 0 when shapeless, guid-as-is for
acdream's flat entity table — → PositionManager.StickTo; unresolvable
target → no stick), at BOTH case-0 tails in retail order
(@00524583-0052458e: funnel apply → stick → longjump flag);
0x2 StandingLongJump → Motion.StandingLongJump, UNCONDITIONAL write
(absent flag clears — retail @0052458e). ServerMotionState gains the
StandingLongJump field.

Gate 1 (2026-07-04): "better in general" + three residuals — monsters
pushed INTO the player, attacks with stale facing, position
"flashing/flapping instead of gliding". All three are ONE mechanism:
the legacy NPC UpdatePosition handler hard-snaps position, orientation,
and velocity/cycle UNCONDITIONALLY, fighting the armed sticky every UP
(ACE's authoritative rest pose sits ~0.6 m out and its server-side
facing lags the strafing target; the client stick holds 0.3 m + live
facing — oscillation at UP cadence).
Retail is immune by architecture, not by tuning: UP corrections flow
through the InterpolationManager into the SAME per-tick
PositionManager::adjust_offset chain where StickyManager::adjust_offset
OVERWRITES them while armed (0x00555190 chain order; 0x00555430 assigns
m_fOrigin). A server correction can never fight an armed stick
frame-by-frame. The remote-player branch already has exactly that
(queue -> combiner -> sticky overwrite); the legacy NPC path snaps
outside the chain.
Fix: suppress the NPC UP position/orientation/velocity-adoption snaps
while the entity is stuck (PositionManager.GetStickyObjectId() != 0) —
the retail chain semantics translated to the snap architecture.
LastServerPos/Time + cell bookkeeping still record; server truth
reasserts on the first UP after unstick, bounded by the 1 s sticky
lease. Register row TS-44 (same commit); retires with the S6/R6
interp-queue unification of the NPC path.
Apparatus: ACDREAM_PROBE_STICKY=1 — per-guid [sticky] lifecycle lines
(STICK / UNSTICK / LEASE-EXPIRE / TARGET-status teardown), per-armed-
tick steer lines (signed gap dist, applied delta, heading delta, live
resolve), and [sticky-snap-skip] at the suppressed-snap site.
PhysicsDiagnostics.ProbeStickyEnabled owns the flag (rule #5).
Full suite 4038 green. Awaiting gate 2 (pack melee vs retail).

Group-melee interpenetration + facing drift: the R5-V1-ported
StickyManager/PositionManager were Core-only — the StickTo/Unstick seams
were unbound and every arrival radius was 0, so ACE's Sticky|UseSpheres
melee chases closed ~one body-radius too deep and froze at stale arrival
poses until the next wire re-arm. Retires TS-39.
Wiring (anchors re-verified against the named decomp this session):
- EntityPhysicsHost owns a PositionManager; HandleUpdateTarget fans
MoveToManager then PositionManager (CPhysicsObj::HandleUpdateTarget
0x00512bc0 order).
- Seams bound remote + player: MoveToManager.StickTo (BeginNextNode
sticky arrival @0x00529d3a), Unstick (PerformMovement head), and
MotionInterpreter.UnstickFromObject (UM funnel head, 0x0050eaea).
- AdjustOffset at the retail UpdatePositionInternal slot (@0x00512d0e):
NPC branch composes pre-sweep (steer is swept by ResolveWithTransition);
remote-player branch chains the combiner offset through the shared
delta frame (the interp stage) so sticky OVERWRITES when armed
(0x00555430 assigns m_fOrigin, not accumulates); player inside the
30 Hz physics quantum before UpdatePhysicsInternal.
- UseTime (the 1 s lease watchdog) at the UpdateObjectInternal tail
(@0x005159b3): unconditional per remote; player gated on the physics
tick (retail's MinQuantum gate skips UseTime too).
- Real setup cylsphere radii (CPartArray::GetRadius/GetHeight
0x005180a0/0x005180b0 = setup radius/height x ObjScale from the spawn
record): own via EnsureRemoteMotionBindings + player wiring; target via
RouteServerMoveTo AND the speculative use-walk install (retail resolves
the target PartArray at EVERY MoveToObject site — ACE PhysicsObj.cs:951).
- Teardown parity: exit_world (0x00514e60) UnStick + ClearTarget before
the ExitWorld notify; player teleport fires teleport_hook's tail
(UnStick in SetPosition + EntityPhysicsHost.NotifyTeleported =
ClearTarget + NotifyVoyeurOfEvent(Teleported) @0x00514f1b) so mobs
stuck to the player drop their sticks on a recall.
- SERVERVEL arbitration also yields to a stuck entity (same starvation
class as the #170 fix — sticky owns the between-snap translation).
- StickyManager.UseTime aligned to retail's strict > deadline
(0x00555626; ACE >): two V1 tests had pinned the >= edge — corrected.
Register: TS-39 deleted; TS-41 narrowed (stickyArmed gate); TS-43 added
(remote teleport_hook gap — self-corrects within the 1 s lease); AP-23
narrowed (real radii at the speculative site; only the use-radius
buckets remain invented).
Conformance: 2 new full-stack sticky scenarios in
RemoteChaseEndToEndHarnessTests (arrive -> stick -> strafing-target
gap+facing track -> lease expiry; unstick-on-rearm -> re-stick).
Full suite 4038 green.
Pre-commit adversarial diff review (3 lenses + per-finding refuters)
confirmed and fixed 4 findings: ObjScale-dead radius read, player
UseTime order inversion, missing teleport voyeur notify, speculative-
site radius asymmetry.
Awaiting the user visual gate: pack melee side-by-side vs retail
(attackers reshuffle + keep facing; some overlap is ACE-server-side).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
User report during the #170 gate: pack-melee monsters partly inside each
other with slightly stale facings vs retail on the same ACE. Investigation
(report-only) pinned two code-grounded causes, both already-tracked R5-V3
scope, fix APPROVED by the user:
1. TS-39 — sticky melee is a no-op: ACE arms melee chases with Sticky
(Monster_Navigation.cs:416); retail's arrival hands off to
PositionManager::StickTo -> StickyManager::adjust_offset (0x00555430,
per-tick 0.3m edge gap + facing tracking); acdream's StickTo/Unstick
seams are unbound so attackers freeze at stale arrival poses.
2. Arrival radii are zero: getOwnRadius () => 0f (the R5-V3 pin) and
RouteServerMoveTo never sets MovementStruct.Radius/Height — retail/ACE
arrive edge-to-edge with setup-derived radii (ACE PhysicsObj.MoveToObject
reads the TARGET's PartArray radius/height).
Ruled out: the between-snap collision sweep (remotes run full
ResolveWithTransition; CollisionExemption keeps creatures collidable).
Caveat recorded: ACE has no server-side monster avoidance — acceptance is
retail PARITY, not zero overlap.

Gate result: user side-by-side vs retail — "looks good, as close to retail
now as I can see". Telemetry from the gate session (launch-170-gate2.log):
BeginMoveForward ~1:1 with MoveToObject arms for every chasing creature
(pre-fix capture was 16:1), ZERO "SERVERVEL skips UseTime while armed"
occurrences, pending_motions depth 1 at last sample.
Stripped per the #170 close-out plan: s_mvtoDiag + all [mvto] prints
(MoveToManager), s_drainDiag + [drain]/[drainq] (MotionInterpreter), the
[npc-tick] branch prints and the "UM actions" inbound-action dump
(GameWindow). The durable ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION family stays. The
RemoteChaseEndToEndHarnessTests + RemoteChaseDrainBisectTests conformance
suites stay as the permanent regression net for this pipeline.
ISSUES: #170 -> DONE + Recently-closed entry (fix SHAs 427332ac, d2ccc80e,
1051fc83). Memory topic + index flipped to CLOSED.

The "sustain the run" residual. The handoff's "Ready stop-node backlog
drains a beat slower than retail" framing was DISPROVEN: a new full-stack
offline harness (RemoteChaseEndToEndHarnessTests — real MoveToManager +
MotionInterpreter + AnimationSequencer + MotionTableDispatchSink + the
manual omega integration, wired field-for-field like
EnsureRemoteMotionBindings and ticked in TickAnimations' exact phase
order) proves the Core turn/run/drain pipeline healthy: the chase turn
completes in <1 s both directions, BeginMoveForward installs per arm, the
run sustains across re-arms and attack swings, and pending_motions fully
empties (retail cdb invariant add_to_queue == MotionDone).
The real mechanism (launch-drainq.log, corrected per-guid attribution —
the previous session's timeline mis-attributed [mvto] lines that fire in
the network phase): funnel per chasing scamp was 16 mt-6 arms -> 11
dispatched turns -> ONE BeginMoveForward. Any NPC receiving
UpdatePositions gets HasServerVelocity=true (synthesized from position
deltas even when the wire carries no velocity), and the grounded per-tick
branch routed those to the SERVERVEL leg, which SKIPS
MoveToManager.UseTime — [npc-tick] literally logged
"branch=SERVERVEL (skips UseTime) mtState=MoveToObject". The armed
moveto was starved for exactly the duration of the server-side chase:
legs stayed in Ready while the body glided on synthesized velocity (the
#170 slide); the manager only woke in UP-silent gaps (creature stopped
server-side) and its stale-heading turn was interrupted by the next UM
before reaching BeginMoveForward.
Retail runs MovementManager::UseTime UNCONDITIONALLY every tick
(CPhysicsObj::UpdateObjectInternal 0x005156b0, call @0x00515998) and has
no wire-velocity leg-driver anywhere; between UPs a moveto-driven body
translates from the motion state (get_state_velocity) with UP hard-snaps
correcting drift. Fix: an armed moveto (MovementTypeState != Invalid)
always takes the MOVETO leg; SERVERVEL remains only as the legacy
fallback for entities without a moveto (scripted paths / missiles).
Register: TS-41 (the narrowed SERVERVEL stopgap), TS-42 (drain-order
divergence also pinned this session: acdream drains AnimDone->MotionDone
AFTER HandleTargetting/MoveTo.UseTime; retail's process_hooks
@0x00512d3d runs BEFORE TargetManager/MovementManager in
UpdateObjectInternal — one frame of extra latency, R6 scope).
New conformance: RemoteChaseEndToEndHarnessTests (3 scenarios + theory)
+ RemoteChaseDrainBisectTests (the drain-chain pin; its first run also
demonstrated the TS-40 InWorld=false link-strip wedge shape — harness
bodies must replicate the live RemoteMotion construction).
ISSUES #170 updated (awaiting user visual gate; probes stay until then);
handoff doc superseded-note added.

Detailed handoff (docs/research/2026-07-04-170-creature-run-handoff.md) + paste
prompt (2026-07-04-170-pickup-prompt.md) for continuing #170 in a fresh session.
Records the full root-cause chain (retail cdb + acdream probes), the landed partial
fix (427332ac: per-frame apply_current_movement flood deleted → pending_motions
1.3M→~1, run installs, stuck-attack gone), the one residual (Ready-stop drain lag →
run not fully sustained), the exact next steps (cdb the retail Ready-stop drain), the
apparatus (env-gated probes + cdb scripts), the file:line map, and the DO-NOT-RETRY
list (superseded MovementManager-coexistence hypothesis; keep the velocity fix; don't
patch the retail-faithful motions_pending guard). ISSUES #170 updated to PARTIAL.

Traced the live remote path: the mt-6 chase runs through the verbatim
MoveToManager, but every inbound mt-0 attack UM fires the unpack_movement head
interrupt (bound to MoveTo.CancelMoveTo) AND installs the UM's ForwardCommand
(Ready/idle for an attack-only UM), so the chase MoveTo is cancelled and the run
legs are replaced by idle while the body keeps dead-reckoning -> glide + repeated
idle/attack. The 15-bit ServerActionStamp gate is faithful (uniform-anim is not a
stamp bug). This chase+attack coexistence is R5/MovementManager scope, so #170
sub-bugs 2/3 are downstream of the incomplete MovementManager port (R5-V4), not
#159. Recorded as a hypothesis pending a live ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION capture + retail
side-by-side (no guessing a fix in this revert-prone path).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Mark ISSUES #159 done (2de5a011) and record the key finding for #170: the
CombatAnimationPlanner numbering fix is latent (the planner isn't wired into
the live dispatch) and the Mite Scamp's 0x62-0x64 attacks were always in the
correct block — so #170's visible symptom is sub-bug 2 (the pending_motions
MOTIONDONE loop), not command misclassification. Roadmap L.1b note updated.

All four visual-pass items confirmed by the user's eyes (jump/ledge
momentum, run-in-circles blend, stop settle, retail-observer view of
+Acdream). Two observations filed from the pass:
- #165: retail movers observed from acdream penetrate walls a bit
("swallowed") instead of stopping flush - remote-DR collision class,
PROBE_RESOLVE capture is the first investigative step.
- #166: downhill-jump landing glide+bounce (retail sled) absent - the
register predicted this exact gap (AD-25 risk column) - composite of
AD-25 + AP-7 + TS-4, retire together post-R6 per the user's

#163: remove [autowalk-gate] (+ _lastAutowalkGateLogTime throttle clock,
PlayerMovementController), [autowalk-feed] (GameWindow player tracker
feed), and the short-lived [MOVETO-CANCEL] #162 capture probe. The
durable ProbeAutoWalk family (PhysicsDiagnostics owner + DebugPanel
toggle + the permanent [autowalk] probe sites) stays.
#162 closed WITHOUT adaptation: user A/B says retail does not glide, and
post-#161 acdream matches (user-verified walk/run-by-distance movetos +
clean mid-chain key takeover). Head-interrupt + CancelMoveTo re-audited
retail-verbatim against the raw (unpack_movement 0x00524440,
interrupt_current_movement 0x005101f0, MoveToManager::CancelMoveTo
0x00529930 armed-gate); the launch-162 capture shows ACE's mt-0
reflections carry the mover's real locomotion, so cancels never strand
the legs. The old glide was killed by the R4-V5 stack + #161's
apply-pass params fix. Evidence trail in ISSUES Recently-closed #162.
Suite 3,964 green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Retail's apply_interpreted_movement (0x00528600) does NOT dispatch with
ctor-default MovementParameters: the BN decomp smears the bitfield store
into the mush expression at raw 305778 - (word & 0x37ff) | cancelMoveTo<<15
| disableJump<<17 - which CLEARS SetHoldKey/ModifyInterpretedState/
CancelMoveTo. ACE MotionInterp.cs:444-449 confirms independently. Three
legs fixed, all retail decode, no adaptations added:
1. ApplyInterpretedMovement now builds the pass params retail actually
uses (ModifyInterpretedState=false is load-bearing): no dispatch in the
pass writes InterpretedState, so the airborne Falling substitution
PRESERVES the wire's forward command and HitGround's re-apply
dispatches it - the motion table plays the Falling->X landing link.
The W6 entry-cache (built on the wrong "retail self-heals via hoisted
registers" theory) is deleted; live reads are retail semantics. Raw
arg3 decoded as DisableJumpDuringLink -> every (N,0) caller means
allowJump=true; all 9 caller polarities fixed. copy_movement_from's
current_style copy (raw 0051e757) added to the UM flat-copy.
2. Both GameWindow landing blocks cleared the Gravity state bit BEFORE
Motion.HitGround(), whose verbatim state&0x400 gate then no-opped the
whole retail re-apply; the UP-driven landing block never called
HitGround at all. Both now run HitGround (minterp then moveto,
MovementManager::HitGround 0x00524300 order) with Gravity still set,
then do the DR bookkeeping clear (register row AP-81 added for the
remaining flag dance, retire in R6).
3. K-fix17's forced SetCycle (both copies) deleted: it executed every
landing but read the leg-1-clobbered ForwardCommand (0x40000015) and
re-set the very Falling cycle it meant to clear.
Tests: new HitGround_AfterFall_RedispatchesPreservedForward_ExitsFalling
lifecycle pin; AirborneBody state assertion flipped (it had pinned the
bug value). Suite 3,964 green incl. the 183-case retail-observer trace.
Filed #164 (action-replay Autonomous bit, no current consumer).
Awaiting live verify: stand-still landing must exit the falling pose with
zero wire input.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
S0 wire probe (live capture, retail actor via ACE) refuted the premise
the #39 machinery was built on: walk<->run Shift toggles arrive as
EXPLICIT UMs (0x0005 <-> 0x0007@runRate) because retail's default-
difference packing baselines forward_command against Ready — W-held is
always packed, and ACE re-emits it unconditionally with the holdKey
upgrade (MovementData.cs:104-119). The frequent flags=0 autonomous UMs
are genuine keys-released / heading-only states; retail applies them as
full stops (InterpretedMotionState ctor 0x0051e8d0 defaults Ready +
move_to_interpreted_state 0x005289c0 flat copy).
Retail has NO pace->animation adaptation anywhere in its inbound
pipeline (two decomp dives + ACE cross-check, deviation map DEV-2), and
the refinement layer's 0.2s-grace re-promotion after legitimate Ready
UMs was itself the observed Ready<->Run thrash / rubber-band component.
Deleted: ApplyPlayerLocomotionRefinement, UmGraceSeconds,
PlayerRunPromoteSpeed/PlayerRunDemoteSpeed, RemoteMotion.LastUMTime,
the synth-player refinement call in OnLivePositionUpdated. Player-remote
cycles are now UM-driven only, exactly like retail. NPC PlanFromVelocity
path untouched (S6 unifies).
S0 findings + S1 live validation (0 false UM_STALE drops across 280 UMs)
recorded in docs/research/2026-07-02-inbound-motion-deviation-map.md.
fix#39: closed — root-cause narrative corrected, machinery removed.

Splits MotionCommandResolver's single ACE-modern lookup into an
IMotionCommandCatalog seam with two implementations:
- AceModernCommandCatalog (runtime default): built cleanly from the
DatReaderWriter MotionCommand enum (mirrors ACE + local DAT MotionTables)
with a documented class-priority tiebreak. The old blind 0x016E-0x0197
per-range override is DELETED — verified the ACE matrix (LifestoneRecall
0x0153 to 0x10000153, MarketplaceRecall 0x0166, AllegianceHometownRecall
0x0171, OffhandSlashHigh 0x0173) resolves correctly straight from the enum
with no override. Stale shift-start comment corrected to SnowAngelState
(0x43000115 to 0x43000118), not AllegianceHometownRecall.
- Retail2013CommandCatalog (conformance/reference): full verbatim extraction
of command_ids[0x198] at 0x007c73e8 (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:1017259-1017667),
direct wire-low to full index lookup. 408 entries, anchors verified against
source ([0x150]=0x10000150, [0x153]=0x09000153, [0x197]=0x10000197).
MotionCommandResolver.ReconstructFullCommand stays a static facade delegating
to an AceModern singleton — all ~10 runtime callers unchanged.
Removing the override exposed a pre-existing bug: CombatAnimationPlanner's
late-combat command block uses 2013 numbering, not ACE/DRW. Corrected the one
catalog test assertion pinned to the override's output (wire 0x0170 to
0x09000170 IssueSlashCommand, its true DRW identity) and filed the planner bug
as #159 rather than silently patching out-of-scope code.
Tests: +catalog matrices (ACE/2013), class-priority collisions, boundary
cases, real-DAT availability (gap-doc hit counts reproduced). Build + full
suite green (Core.Tests 1718, no regressions).

Roadmap: extend D.5-remaining ledger with three new shipped entries (UI Studio,
importer Fix A/B/C, Character window 0x2100002E). Milestone M5: update D.2b
status paragraph to name all shipped sub-phases including the studio, importer
boundary discovery (look=importer / state=runtime), and Character window with
deferred polish pointer (#151).
ISSUES: add #151 (Character window deferred polish — LOW, filed 2026-06-26;
user accepted Attributes tab as good-enough, polish items to be enumerated later).
Issues #149 (studio inventory all-black) and #150 (GameWindow font resolver) were
already present.
Divergence register: add AP-69 (per-element dat-font resolver is studio-only;
GameWindow passes null to the four Import sites until #150 lands). No row for
Fix-4 UIState-group activation (runtime-faithful, not a deviation) or for the
tab-sprite injection / footer-state hiding (same).

Gap 1 — Header captions:
- 0x1000023A ("Character Level") above the level value: bound via LabelLeft().
- 0x10000234 ("Total Experience (XP):") left of total XP: bound via LabelLeft().
- 0x10000237/0x10000238 (XP-to-level label + value) are children of the UiMeter
(0x10000236, ConsumesDatChildren=true) and cannot be bound — documented in
code comments; XP meter fill still bound via Fill=XpFraction.
Gap 2 — Tab bar sprites:
- Tab group elements 0x10000228/229/538 are Type-12 UIElement_Text in the dat
(ConsumesDatChildren=true), so the three button children (left-cap, center,
right-cap) are consumed at import and absent from the widget tree. Old
SetTabState/SetButtonStateRecursive found no UiButton children to set.
- Fix: AddTabSprites() injects three UiText sprite-children per group using
the known RenderSurface ids confirmed from the retail UI layout dump:
Open (active) 0x06005D92/0x06005D94/0x06005D96
Closed (inactive) 0x06005D93/0x06005D95/0x06005D97
Source: dump nodes 0x10000439/0x100000E9/0x10000215 in layout 0x2100002E,
state_id 11=Closed, 12=Open per gmTabUI::SetActive(bool).
Gap 3 — Footer legibility:
- The shared footer child ids (0x1000024E etc.) appear in THREE footer-state
groups (A/B/C). ImportedLayout._byId stores the LAST duplicate = narrower
State B/C copies (145px labels). Fix: hide State B/C groups (footerB/footerC
Visible=false), walk State A container (0x10000240) positionally to bind the
wider State A labels (195px). FooterLine1Label now reads "Skill Credits
Available:" and FooterLine2Label reads "Unassigned Experience:" at full width.
Tests: 3 old tab-state tests (SetButtonStateRecursive expectation) replaced by
4 new sprite-injection tests + 2 caption-binding tests. Full suite: 676 pass,
0 fail (was 673 pass after 3 failures).

Verified root cause (oracle-first) of the user's "stretched + less-detailed"
outdoor terrain: acdream tiles the base ground texture once per 24m landcell
(terrain_modern.frag TILE=1.0) and never applies retail's landscape DETAIL
texture overlay (dat TerrainTex.DetailTextureId / DetailTexTiling).
Decomp-cited mechanism (landPolyDraw detail UV = curr_detail_tiling*baseUV
pc:702299; 10->50 depth fade pc:702263; TEXOP_MODULATE pc:425099; single

The resolver runs two collision passes per step: the main sweep and a
step-down (foot-sphere "is there floor?") sub-pass. acdream tested the
ethereal door in BOTH; the main pass cleared it (BSPQuery Path 1 + the
Layer-2 override) but the step-down pass had no escape, leaving a Collided
result at the sill -- the "can-sized cylinder on the ground threshold".
Retail's CPhysicsObj::FindObjCollisions (pc:276795-276806) SKIPS an ethereal
target when sphere_path.step_down != 0 -- it only tests it in the main pass.
So an open door is fully passable everywhere; the swung panel's position is
irrelevant (ethereal = no collision; the swing animation is purely visual).
Port that branch verbatim: an ethereal-for-this-test target (target state &
0x4, OR mover-ethereal vs a non-static target) is `continue`d when
sp.StepDown is set.
Live-verified (user confirmed): the door now blocks 0x while open (0x1000C),
still blocks while closed (0x10008); pre-fix it blocked 217x while open.
Core suite green (1595/0).
(An earlier "animate the door collision" theory was wrong and dropped -- if
collision tracked the swung panel you'd bump the panel in its open position,
which retail does not do. The user caught it.)

Town props placed as landblock stabs whose ONLY collision is a Setup
CylSphere/Sphere (no physics BSP) registered ZERO collision shapes and were
walk-through -- torches, braziers, lamp-posts, candle-stands, posts.
Root: the ISSUES #83 / A1.6 gate `!_isLandblockStab` skipped Setup
cyl/sphere registration for ALL landblock stabs, on the false assumption
"landblock stabs collide via BSP only (retail CBuildingObj)." That
over-broadened -- it also killed collision for BSP-less stabs.
Retail's CPhysicsObj::FindObjCollisions (@0x0050f050) uses binary dispatch:
the object's physics BSP if it HAS one (HAS_PHYSICS_BSP_PS 0x10000), ELSE its
CSetup CylSpheres/Spheres -- never both. Confirmed via live retail cdb on the
Holtburg torch (Setup 0x020005D8 at world (105.99,17.17)): FindObjCollisions
target num_cylsphere=1, cyl h=2.2 -- a cylsphere, exact-matching the dat
(cylSphere r=0.2 h=2.2); the StabList confirms stab[95]=0x020005D8 there.
Fix: gate the Setup cyl/sphere registration on `entityBsp == 0` instead of
stab-ness. Preserves #83's anti-doubling (stab WITH a BSP -> BSP-only) while
restoring collision for BSP-less stabs. Other landblock entities on this path
(scenery -- tree-trunk cylspheres) are unaffected.
Live-verified: torch + candle/brazier family block now; ~115 cyl/sphere
Setups register across streamed landblocks. Core suite green (1595/0).
The earlier selection-sphere hypothesis was WRONG and is reverted -- the cdb's
r=0.48 sphere was the player/NPC body (every body sphere is ~0.48), not the
torch. The correct cdb method: capture the TARGET at FindObjCollisions (not
`this` in CSphere::intersects_sphere) and confirm by position + Setup-id.
(Issue numbered #149 to stay clear of main's #148; this worktree branched
before main's #145-148 were added.)

The "#145 far-town frame" premise was wrong: #146's bldOrigin probe proved
Arwic buildings are correctly framed. The walls were portal-less buildings
skipped by the collision cache; the terrain-3%-grounded sub-question is
re-scoped LOW (no fall-through observed; likely a contactPlaneValid nuance).

Issue A ("no collision after death/portal") investigated capture-first and
confirmed to be TWO distinct bugs (user-corroborated + ACDREAM_CAPTURE_RESOLVE
data, 255,832 player resolves):
- #147 (HIGH) far-town (Arwic): grounded only 3% of resolves vs 100% at
Holtburg/dungeon; city/perimeter walls never block even on a fresh login —
the #145 streaming-relative-frame family. Scope as a brainstormed #145
sub-phase, not a one-commit fix.
- #146 (MEDIUM) Holtburg: building/house-wall collision works on fresh login
but is lost after portaling in. The [bldg-channel] probe fires post-portal
(building is cached + reached) yet result=OK as the foot-sphere walks into
the wall — the building WorldTransform is baked from _liveCenter at cache
time and CacheBuilding is idempotent, so the recenter leaves a stale offset.
Also recorded against #138 that symptom B (avatar vanish) was root-caused and
fixed in afd5f2a (RelocateEntity-during-PortalSpace), not just the pending-
bucket rescue candidate.
No guess-patches applied to the collision code (DO-NOT-RETRY area).

Faithful port of retail UIElement_UIItem::UpdateCapacityDisplay (0x004e16e0):
each container cell (side bags + main pack) shows a vertical UIElement_Meter
(element 0x10000347, back 0x06004D22 / fill 0x06004D23) filled to
GetNumContainedItems / ItemsCapacity, clamped [0,1]; hidden for non-containers
(CapacityFill=-1). Drawn procedurally on UiItemSlot like the triangle/square
overlays (back full + front clipped bottom-up). Right-anchored flush to the cell
edge (visual gate: the dat X=26 sat ~5px off the right edge). Visually confirmed
2026-06-22. Divergence AP-59; polish deferred to ISSUES #146 (exact rect/anchor,
fill direction vs m_eDirection 0x6f, closed-bag lazy-load).

User confirmed the container column reads correct after the inheritance-resolved
fix (22d9231). Status: inventory empty-slot art FIXED + VISUALLY CONFIRMED.

Visual gate (2026-06-22) showed the side-bag/main-pack empty cells drawing yellow
triangles. Root cause: the frame-first heuristic grabbed the 36x36 container
prototype's DirectState child 0x06005D9C — which is the open/SELECTED-container
triangle indicator, NOT a background frame — and stamped it onto every empty cell.
Fix: drop frame-first; FindIconEmpty resolves the inner m_elem_Icon ItemSlot_Empty
THROUGH BaseElement inheritance (0x1000033F -> 0x10000340 -> base 0x1000033E ->
0x1000033B -> 0x06000F6E), so containers get the dark slot background matching the
inventory. Pin test now asserts exact ids (0x06004D20 contents / 0x06000F6E
containers) — the old structural-only assertion let the wrong-but-valid 0x06005D9C
pass (Opus review Minor 2, now vindicated). The triangle + green/yellow selection
square is deferred to container-switching (AP-56 reworded). Full suite green.

Inventory contents grid / side-bag / main-pack empty cells now dat-resolve their
art via ItemListCellTemplate (0x1000000e -> 0x21000037). Paperdoll equip
silhouettes + main-pack icon remain open (Sub-phase C / AP-51).

Reword AP-48 (burden) and AP-49 (carry-aug) to fallback/default-only: B-Wire
ports the retail wire read (login PD-bundle UpsertProperties + live 0x02CD;
ObjectTableWiring applies all ints), so SumCarriedBurden / aug=0 are now
defensive only. Confirm the server sends EncumbranceVal/0xE6 at the visual
gate, then delete the rows. Add the D.2b-B B-Wire SHIPPED entry to ISSUES.
(Memory digest project_d2b_retail_ui.md + MEMORY.md updated out-of-tree.)

3rd live session found the carried-anchor fix is incomplete: the cascade recurs
when a teleport arrives onto a NOT-YET-STREAMED landblock near an edge (0xC98C
arrival at local Y=190.3, NO-LANDBLOCK -> marches 0x8C->0xFE, wire localY=-21684,
ACE rejects). Streamed-arrival case IS fixed (verified ~10 landblocks). Same root
as the Z free-fall (#135/#138 placed-but-unstreamed gap). Prior 'gate passed' was
premature. Needs apparatus (anchor/guard diagnostic at the crossing) before a fix.

- #145: the original fix was incomplete (mounted panels inherited ZLevel 1000 →
behind the backdrop → washed out); continuation 417b137 closes it. Updated status.
- D.2b-B SHIPPED entry: visually confirmed; the two render bugs (backdrop wash-out
+ captions host-direct) documented.
- New OPEN issue: contents grid overflows (needs the gutter scrollbar wired; scroll
was out-of-scope for B-Controller per the spec).
- Roadmap ledger: B-Controller visually confirmed + the render fix noted.

Workflow wf_87607d15-c43 (4 research streams + synthesis + 3 adversarial verifiers, HIGH confidence) confirmed the far-town runaway is a cell-membership label cascade from a discarded TryGetTerrainOrigin bool (CellTransit.cs:736 -> (0,0) origin for unstreamed neighbors), not a free-fall; 17410 is a wire artifact. User chose the architectural fix: port retail's cell-relative Position + retire _liveCenter from physics. Handoff doc carries the verified mechanism, the retail port table (decomp addresses), acdream divergence sites, apparatus (desync-capture.jsonl + probes + harness template), and the brainstorming-gate requirement.

Captured: teleport to far town (201,91) places correctly via the #145 verbatim path, then the per-frame resolve marches membership one landblock south/frame (un-rebased local position) until ACE rejects the inconsistent (cell, local) pair. #138 re-hydrate exonerated. Root cause under multi-agent research (acdream code + retail decomp oracle + capture).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Records the confirmed root cause (ACE never clears KnownObjects on a
teleport so it won't re-send known objects; retail/holtburger keep the
client object table and re-render from it) and the two-part fix
(re-hydrate from _lastSpawnByGuid; pending-bucket persistent rescue).
Corrects the 2026-06-21 handoff: ClientObjectTable is the inventory data
model with no world position/Setup and cannot rebuild a render entity;
the real retained world-object table is GameWindow._lastSpawnByGuid.
Status: FIX SHIPPED, pending user visual gate.
