9910838fa4 test(physics): #265/#166 - Runtime-level walk-speed and landing-survival pins
Two new PlayerMovementController-level tests, exercising the real
production controller (not just the Core-level composed model in the
prior commit):

- Update_AnimationRootMotion_WalkSpeedUnaffectedByResidualVelocityFix:
  ordinary root-motion walking (no fall/collision in flight) advances by
  exactly the authored per-tick delta for 30 ticks with BodyVelocity
  staying exactly zero throughout - the fix is a complete no-op for the
  common case, pinning the L.3c hazard
  (claude-memory/project_physics_collision_digest.md's DO-NOT-RETRY
  table) at the Runtime level alongside the existing Core-level
  GroundedRootMotion_FrictionThreshold_DoesNotHammerLocomotionTests pin
  (unmodified, still green).

- Update_RunningJumpLandsOnFlatGround_ResidualVelocitySurvivesAndDecays_NotFrozen:
  a real charged running jump lands on flat ground and its residual
  horizontal speed survives the first post-landing tick, then measurably
  decays (dot(velocity, (0,0,1)) ~ 0 < 0.25, so friction engages here,
  unlike the sloped roof capture where it doesn't).

Building the second test surfaced two genuinely separate, already-
correctly-scoped mechanisms unrelated to #265/#166, requiring no
production change: MotionInterpreter.LeaveGround (CMotionInterp::
LeaveGround 0x00528b00, R3-W4/J7/J8) recomputes velocity from the
CURRENT interpreted command on the grounded->airborne edge tick, so the
test holds Forward for one extra tick before releasing it; and
MotionInterpreter.ApplyCurrentMovementInterpreted's AP-77 "animation-less
/headless movement fallback" (already correctly scoped in the
divergence register) independently rewrites grounded velocity when no
DefaultSink is wired, so the test wires a minimal
FakeAnimationDispatchSink to match production's always-wired sink.

06c76009f1 fix(physics): #265/#166 - stop zeroing grounded residual velocity, wire GroundNormal
Capture bisect (docs/research/2026-07-30-265-capture-bisect.md, mined
from artifacts/matrix-session2-resolve.jsonl records 3415-3434) traced
#265's lost roof slides / permanent landing freeze and #166's missing
downhill sled to a pre-existing (2026-07-20, ten days before Campaign P
- not a regression) mechanism in PlayerMovementController.cs's grounded
quantum block: it hand-zeroed Velocity.X/Y to exactly zero every tick
once OnWalkable whenever animation root motion drives the walk (the
production graphical local-player path), discarding any residual
horizontal momentum a fall left on the body before calc_friction
(AP-7/AD-55, already correctly ported) or PhysicsBody.
UpdatePhysicsInternal's Euler integrator ever got a chance to act on it.

Two changes:

1. PhysicsEngine.cs now syncs body.GroundNormal (the vector
   calc_friction dots velocity against, per retail
   CPhysicsObj::calc_friction 0x0050ee70's `contact_plane.Normal` read)
   from the committed ContactPlane.Normal at the same commit point that
   already publishes ContactPlane. GroundNormal had zero production
   writers before this and silently defaulted to Vector3.UnitZ forever
   - even surviving velocity would have been tested against a fake
   flat-ground normal on any real slope. Core-level, so player, remote,
   ordinary, and projectile movers all benefit uniformly.

2. PlayerMovementController.cs's grounded block no longer reconstructs
   Velocity at all for the animation-root-motion case (only the
   headless/test-controller get_state_velocity fallback still does,
   unchanged). Root motion continues to fully own commanded locomotion;
   this only stops destroying whatever Velocity already holds, letting
   it compose with root motion through the same ResolveWithTransition
   sweep exactly as retail's CPhysicsObj::UpdatePositionInternal
   composes both channels.

Symptom (a), the uphill-jump bounce, traces to a SEPARATE, byte-exact
(re-verified against acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:282647-282760),
already-closed retail mechanism (AD-25, PhysicsObjUpdate.
HandleAllCollisions's shouldReflect gate) - confirmed orthogonal to this
fix, not addressed here (see the research doc's as-fixed addendum §9.5).

Issue265SteepSlopeCaptureBisectTests.cs gains a composed harness
(ReplayRealRoofLandingComposed) mirroring PlayerMovementController.cs's
per-tick composition against Core types only, proving: the old model
reproduces the mined freeze exactly; the new model survives the landing
and slides continuously (the real captured geometry glides at constant
velocity per retail's own dot>=0.25 early-return - AP-7); a synthetic
dot<0.25 case shows genuine exponential decay via calc_friction; and a
synthetic uphill-bounce case proves the fix changes nothing about
HandleAllCollisions's reflection decision.

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.

2493f24c63 merge: #267 vitae character-panel display (attributes vitae-immune per retail; skill dual parentheticals)

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.

909bff0aa5 test(physics): #265 mining tool + real-trajectory replay harness for the steep-slope response family
Adds tools/analyze_265_steep_slope_capture.py (segment miner for the
ACDREAM_CAPTURE_RESOLVE JSONL captures: uphill-jump-bounce and
lost-slide/edge-wedge signature scans) and
tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Physics/Issue265SteepSlopeCaptureBisectTests.cs (a
synthetic single-polygon PhysicsEngine that replays the EXACT real captured
ballistic approach + landing from artifacts/matrix-session2-resolve.jsonl
records 3415-3434, driving PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition directly at
the Core boundary).

Mining found two dramatic real "velocity annihilation + permanent freeze"
events (records 3153/3159 and 3433/3434): a high-speed fall lands on a
moderate roof slope (normal.Z=0.857, ABOVE PhysicsGlobals.FloorZ — walkable
by threshold), and the very next tick shows Velocity forced to exactly
(0,0,0) with the position frozen byte-identical for the rest of the capture
(12,292 ticks to EOF for the second event).

No production code changes. Full Core.Tests suite: 4070 passed / 2 skipped.

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.

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.

0149220506 test(physics): #116 shape-2 — un-skip D4 airborne wall hard-stop pin
Per docs/research/2026-07-30-ts4-116-oracle-plan.md §3, §3.3 step 1.
Test-only change with zero production code in this commit: TS-4's
retirement (5e2be19b, the previous commit) is what actually unblocks
this test's routing.

The plan's confirming instrumentation (probes added in 5e2be19b: which
BSPQuery.cs path fires, whether Path 4's FindWalkableInternal finds a
walkable candidate) traced D4's tall-vertical-wall scenario: Path 6 fires
(SetCollide, no reposition, Adjusted) -> the retry routes to Path 4
(find_walkable), which finds NO candidate for this sheer wall
(changed=false, confirmed) -> Path 4 returns OK -> TransitionalInsert's
Phase 3 sp.Collide block runs (reachable now that Phase 1/2 both return
OK): ContactPlaneValid is false (first airborne contact) so the reset
branch fires, LastKnownContactPlaneValid is false too (first frame), so
SetCollisionNormal(sp.StepUpNormal) runs and the function returns
Collided -- a hard stop, in place, with the wall's real normal. This
exactly reproduces the test's original (pre-Skip) expectation, confirming
the oracle plan's §3.1/§3.2 structural finding without a live cdb trace.

Full AcDream.Core.Tests suite: 4061 passed / 1 skipped (the remaining
skip is the unrelated Pvs_CottageInterior_MatchesRetailCellDrawList),
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.

7719d25bc5 feat(physics): P5 commit 2 - arm the ConstraintManager leash on accepted positions (#167)
Wire ConstraintManager.ConstrainTo at every current acdream inbound-position
acceptance seam, matching retail SmartBox::HandleReceivedPosition
(0x00453fd0):

- Remote (player + NPC): LiveEntityNetworkUpdateController arms right after
  the hard-teleport branch (remotePlacementRequired) returns - reaching that
  point already means MoveOrTeleport did NOT hard-place - anchored to the
  object's own live IPhysicsObjHost.Position.
- Local player teleport: PlayerMovementController.SetPositionCore now runs
  UnConstrain (retail teleport_hook 0x00514ed0, previously a no-op because
  nothing armed the leash) then re-arms anchored to the just-snapped
  position, composing with the existing StopCompletelyAtPhysicsObjectBoundary
  velocity zero rather than duplicating it. CommitPreparedPosition mirrors
  the same pair for the deferred player-mode-entry commit path.
- Local player ForcePosition: PlayerMovementController.BlipPosition arms
  with NO preceding UnConstrain (retail BlipPlayer/SetPositionSimple
  survives motion/velocity/stick, and the leash is no different).

Push PhysicsBody.IsFullyConstrained from PositionManager.IsFullyConstrained
at the SAME per-tick chokepoint each pump already runs AdjustOffset
(PlayerMovementController.Update, RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick/TickHidden)
so TS-35's read gate in jump_is_allowed sees live state instead of a stub
that is never written.

Tests: local-player arm/teardown/rearm/taper/jump-refusal (Runtime.Tests,
PlayerMovementControllerTests), remote-tick IsFullyConstrained push
(Runtime.Tests, RuntimePhysicsStateTests). Full Core/Runtime/App suites
green with no regressions.

e0629145ef feat(physics): P5 commit 1 - port ConstraintManager leash distance constants (#167)
Add ConstraintDistance (outdoor/indoor start=10/5, max=50/20), byte-decoded
from the matching retail binary (GetStartConstraintDistance 0x0050ebc0,
GetMaxConstraintDistance 0x0050ec10 - both x87-return functions BN elided).
Deliberately omits the vestigial player-vs-remote branch the disassembly
shows loads identical constants either way. Pins the ACE-inversion (ACE's
start mapping is outdoor 5/indoor 10, the opposite of the binary - the
binary wins). Adds a full-chain conformance test proving an armed,
over-strained leash actually blocks jump_is_allowed (0x47), not just the
bare stub-property regression already covered.

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
PhysicsEngine.Objects-wired scenarios); 2 new CreateObject parser tests +
2 new GameEventWiring tests for the wire feed.

AcDream.Core.Tests: 4049 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.
AcDream.Core.Net.Tests: 761 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed.
Complete solution suite: 9,961 total, 9,956 passed, 5 skipped, 0 failed.

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).

103,766 of 729,888 EnvCells (14%, 1,293 landblocks - the entire housing
estate, 0x70xxxxxx GUIDs) carry a baked RestrictionObj. The AP-71 gate
as wired (CanMoveInto unmodeled, fail-closed) would therefore lock every
housing interior for everyone; retail's CanMoveInto (0x0058da40) is
fail-OPEN for unowned houses and for a null RestrictionDB. Fix directed
back to the P4 implementer.

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.

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.

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.

b81bda1fea review(physics): P2 Opus review APPROVE - fix rounding-boundary assertion exposed by AP-7 friction
The render-alpha clamp test compared physics vs render position with
xunit precision:4 (Math.Round semantics); the AP-7 friction port shifts
the velocity-fallback trajectory by 7.6 um, landing two essentially
equal values on opposite sides of a 5e-5 rounding boundary. Assert with
a 1 mm tolerance instead. Merged-tree full Release suite: 9,887 passed /
0 failed / 5 skips including Headless (the exposed velocity-fallback

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.

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).

16ed6e7c5c fix(render): keep authored surface translucency on composite textures
Some checks are pending

The user reported wielded items subtly hiding particle effects, as if a
translucent texture were missing. Root cause verified in source: the
DAT authors a per-surface Translucency float, and the shared-atlas
extraction honors it by baking (1 - Translucency) into the texture
alpha (MeshExtractor). But a surface with an appearance override -
ObjDesc subpalettes or texture changes, which wielded loot typically
carries - routes through the per-instance composite paths instead
(WbDrawDispatcher.ResolveTexture -> TextureCache
GetOrUploadWithPaletteOverrideBindless /
GetOrUploadWithOrigTextureOverrideBindless -> DecodeFromDats), and the
textured decode there never saw the authored value: only the
Base1Solid branch passed it (SurfaceDecoder.DecodeSolidColor);
DecodeRenderSurface has no translucency input at all.

Consequence: the part still classified translucent, still sorted in
the RetailAlphaQueue, still drew with depth writes off - but with
texture alpha = 1 it overwrote everything already composited behind
it. Particles behind the part vanished; particles in front survived.
The same GfxObj without overrides (atlas path) rendered correctly,
which is why the loss was so selective and subtle.

Fix: SurfaceDecoder.ApplyAuthoredTranslucency mirrors the atlas bake
(in-place alpha scale, caller-owned buffers, Magenta sentinel
guarded), and DecodeFromDats applies it behind an opt-in flag set by
exactly the two world composite paths. The sky path stays unbaked (its
shader applies the authored opacity separately - baking would
double-apply, the AP-89 compounding class) and particle sheets stay
unbaked (emitter-driven alpha, no authored-translucency consumer).
Composite cache keys already include the surface id, so the baked
alpha is cache-coherent.

This closes an unregistered divergence (no register row existed; the
fix restores parity with the shipped atlas mechanism, so none is
added). Investigation evidence: equipped children and world objects
share the same classification chain (ClassifyPackedBatches/GroupKey),
so the gap was override-driven, not attachment-driven - a dropped item
with the same ObjDesc was equally affected.

Core SurfaceDecoder tests 22/22 (3 new); App Release suite 3,968 / 3
skips. Visual gate: a wielded item with authored-translucent parts
must let its particle effects show through.

bfba0ecf7f fix(ui): interactive window moves must survive the per-frame anchor layout; lock the dragbar cursor
Some checks are pending
Headless portability / portable-headless (ubuntu-latest) (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / portable-headless (windows-latest) (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / linux-graphical (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / linux-vulkan (push) Waiting to run
The dragbar port (e4c99f54) armed the press path but the combat/spell
bar still would not move in the live client, and the move cursor kept
showing with the UI locked. Two distinct causes, both reported from
the user's connected session:

1. Snap-back: the combat/spell bar mounts ANCHORED (Left|Bottom), and
   ApplyAnchor runs every frame before drawing children, recomputing
   Left/Top from margins captured at mount. The drag wrote Left/Top and
   the very next layout pass wrote them back - the window never visibly
   moved. (The unit harness runs no per-frame layout, which is why the
   original tests passed; unanchored windows like inventory never hit
   this.) Interactive window moves AND resizes now re-baseline the
   anchor capture on every applied change, and
   RetailWindowManager.MoveTo/ResizeTo get the same rebase so
   programmatic moves of anchored windows cannot be silently undone
   either. ResetAnchorCapture is exactly the documented tool for this
   ("make the current geometry the new layout baseline after an
   intentional change").

2. Locked cursor: the cursor the user saw was never the window-move
   feedback path (which is lock-gated) - it was the dragbar's own
   authored MD_Data_Cursor, revealed the moment the element began
   claiming the pointer. Authored cursor resolution now suppresses a
   WindowMoveHandle element's cursor while the UI is locked, matching
   the radar's existing locked behavior of hiding its authored drag
   affordance; movement itself was already gated.

Two inversion-sensitive regression tests: an anchored window dragged by
its handle must hold its position ACROSS an ApplyAnchor pass, and the
authored handle cursor must disappear when UiLocked flips on. App
Release suite 3,968 / 3 skips.

e4c99f54c0 feat(ui): port retail UIElement_Dragbar so authored drag strips move their windows
Some checks are pending
Headless portability / portable-headless (ubuntu-latest) (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / portable-headless (windows-latest) (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / linux-graphical (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / linux-vulkan (push) Waiting to run
The combat bar and spell bar could not be moved at all: their window
mounts Draggable=false (correct - retail never whole-surface-drags
them) and the authored move mechanism was missing. Retail registers
element class 2 as UIElement_Dragbar (Register @ 0x0046C840); a press
inside it calls UIElement::StartMovement on its parent window
(StartMouseMoving @ 0x0046C760) and release calls StopMovement
(@ 0x0046C7C0). The combat/spell bar layout (LayoutDesc 0x21000073)
authors exactly one such element - a 600 x 5 strip along the top edge,
which is where the user expects the move cursor. The powerbar, vitals,
indicators, radar, and examination layouts author dragbars too, so
they all gain their retail handles from this one port.

Our importer knew Type 2 by name but built it as a generic
UiDatElement - ClickThrough decoration, so the strip never even
claimed the pointer. Now:

- UiElement.WindowMoveHandle marks an authored handle; the DAT factory
  sets it for Type-2 elements and opts them out of ClickThrough.
- A left-press inside a handle subtree moves the handle's top-level
  window (the outer frame directly under the root - the mounted
  analogue of retail's dragbar parent) even when that window is not
  whole-surface Draggable. Edge-resize still wins; UiLocked still
  gates, matching the retail locked/fixed parent-flag check.
- HoverWindowMove reports the handle so the window-move cursor shows
  over the strip - and only there - on non-Draggable windows.

Four new tests: handle press moves a non-Draggable window and stops on
release, hover shows the move cursor over the strip but not the body,
UiLocked suppresses both, and the factory builds Type 2 as a
pointer-claiming move handle. App Release suite 3,966 / 3 skips.

67379d1f9a fix(ui): UiField wrapped-line cache coherent with the text at mouse-hit time
Some checks are pending
Headless portability / portable-headless (ubuntu-latest) (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / portable-headless (windows-latest) (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / linux-graphical (push) Waiting to run
Headless portability / linux-vulkan (push) Waiting to run
Fixes the crash the user hit twice today (captured in
artifacts/coldeve-acceptance-20260729/crash-hunt.log): clicking into a
multiline UiField - the examination window's inscription field - after
the text had changed since the last draw threw an unhandled
ArgumentOutOfRangeException from String.Substring and took the whole
client down (UiField.MeasureRange <- HitChar <- OnEvent MouseDown).

Root cause: _wrappedLines is a DRAW-side cache (rebuilt only in
DrawMultiLine) consumed by the INPUT side (HitChar on MouseDown and
drag-select MouseMove). Input events are pumped before the frame's
draw, so a mutation (backspace, SetText, paste) followed by a click in
the same pumped frame handed HitChar wrap lines describing the OLD,
longer text; measuring those stale ranges ran past the end of the live
string.

Fix: text mutations now bump a version (the _text field became a
private property so every existing mutation site participates without
churn), the draw records which version its wrap lines describe, and
HitChar proves coherence via EnsureWrappedLinesCurrent() - rebuilding
with the last draw width when stale. Rebuilding rather than clamping
keeps caret placement CORRECT against the live text, not merely
non-throwing. Two inversion-sensitive regression tests reproduce the
exact crash sequence (wrap long text, shrink without a draw, click);
they throw without the HitChar coherence call.

App tests 3,962 passed / 3 skipped (3,960 + 2 new).

0ccbb4e52c fix(interaction): port retail's wielded-item pickup rejection (Slice 4 F1)
Slice 4 made a remote character's wielded weapon selectable, which made the
pickup chain reachable end to end for the first time: SelectionPickUp on
another player's weapon captured identity, passed ValidatePickupTarget (which
checked only the Stuck flag and the small-item mask, and a MeleeWeapon clears
both), installed a real non-autonomous approach through
PlayerInteractionMovementSink, and then sent a pickup request the server
rejects. Retail does none of that.

ItemHolder::AttemptToPlaceInContainer @ 0x00588140 runs
AttemptToPlaceInContainer_IsItemLegal @ 0x005870C0 first, at 0x00588173 --
ahead of container legality, auto-merge, the container walk, and the only
CM_Inventory::Event_PutItemInContainer emitter
(ACCWeenieObject::UIAttemptPutInContainer @ 0x0058D680). IsItemLegal's arm at
0x005872B7 rejects `!ACCWeenieObject::IsOwnedByPlayer(item) &&
item->pwd._location != 0` with one local
ECM_UI::SendNotice_DisplayStringInfo(0x1a, ...), and
CPlayerSystem::PlaceInBackpack @ 0x0055D8C0 then withdraws the waiting slot it
had published (SetWaitingState(obj, 0) + SendNotice_EndPendingInPlayer at
0x0055D918). No request, no movement. acdream had never ported that arm; it
was harmless while wielded children were unpickable and stopped being harmless
at f6db964f.

The notice is data_7e2228, "The %s is being wielded by someone else!" -- WITH
the exclamation mark. IsItemLegal's six strings occupy one contiguous literal
block, 0x007e21f0 through 0x007e234c, one per arm in reverse code order, and
the two neighbours already ported here (0x007e227c "The %s cannot be picked
up!" at 0x00587264, 0x007e22b4 "You cannot pick up creatures!" at 0x005871f4)
pin it. The punctuation-free 0x007cd350 variant belongs to the wield/wear
block and is emitted from a different function at 0x00560aef.

pwd._location is the PublicWeenieDesc CurrentWieldedLocation field
(acclient.h:37175), which acdream projects as
ClientObject.CurrentlyEquippedLocation, and ACCWeenieObject::IsOwnedByPlayer
@ 0x0058D160 is IsOwnedByObject(this, player_id) -- already ported as
ClientObjectTable.IsOwnedByObject @ 0x0058CEB0 and reached here through the
existing ItemInteractionController.IsOwnedByPlayer. The arm reads pwd._location
verbatim rather than adding a WielderId belt-and-braces test, because retail's
predicate is the thing being ported.

The player's OWN wielded item is IsOwnedByPlayer, so retail passes it and takes
a different route. ACCWeenieObject::DeterminePositionState @ 0x0058BE70 gives
it PositionState.WIELDED (acclient.h:6802) rather than IN_3D_VIEW, and
UIAttemptPutInContainer records IR_PICK_UP only for IN_3D_VIEW, treating
WIELDED and IN_CONTAINER alike as a plain IR_PUT_IN_CONTAINER transfer. So an
own-wielded item is unwielded in place: the request goes out immediately with
no approach, joining the existing current-ground-object shortcut. The shortcut
carries an ownership conjunct so it can never outrun the 0x005872B7 gate.

TryGetApproach now refuses attached children outright, for the same
IN_3D_VIEW reason. An Attached projection's bookkeeping WorldEntity.Position
carries the PARENT's composed root (EquippedChildRenderController
.ApplyParentWorldPose), not the child frame CPhysicsObj::UpdateChild @
0x00512D50 composes, so an approach built from it walked toward the wielder.
Slice 4 de-parented the marker anchor but left this one parent-derived; no
approach can anchor on a wielder now.

The pick predicates are deliberately untouched. Picking, selecting, examining,
lighting-pulse identity, and the vivid-marker anchor on a remote's wielded
weapon all behave exactly as Slice 4 shipped them -- retail's sr_Select and
sr_Examine branches of RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @ 0x004E5AD0 never
consult IsItemLegal. The gate is the transaction, not the pick.

f6db964f's message asserted the slice introduced no deviation and owed no
retail-divergence-register row. That was wrong: the unported 0x005872B7 arm
was a deviation it made reachable. This commit ports the arm in full, matches
retail on the own-wielded path, and removes the parent-derived approach
anchor, so the record is corrected here and no register row is owed.

f6db964fd5 feat(interaction): Slice 4 - equipped-child world picking
A click on a remote character's wielded weapon reported nothing. The picker
was already correct: RetailSelectionScene publishes every drawn part under its
own live-entity server GUID and RetailWorldPicker returns the weapon as the
polygon winner. The failure was downstream eligibility - WorldSelectionQuery
required TryGetInteractionEligibleRecord, whose _visible set admits
LiveEntityProjectionKind.World only, so the winning hit was discarded.

Retail has no such gate. Render::GfxObjUnderSelectionRay @ 0x0054C740
accumulates each hit under the drawn part's own physics-object id
(CPhysicsPart::get_physobj_id @ 0x0050D490), and CPhysicsPart::Draw @
0x0050D7A0 admits any drawn part whose physobj id is nonzero. An equipped item
is a first-class CPhysicsObj with its own id and part array
(CPhysicsObj::add_child @ 0x0050F870 via CSetup::GetHoldingLocation @
0x005213F0). There is no parent redirection and no wielded-specific rule, so a
click on a wielded weapon returns THE WEAPON'S GUID. PositionState.WIELDED is
distinct from IN_CONTAINER (acclient.h:6802), so container suppression never
hid a wielded selection either.

LiveEntityRuntime gains two scoped predicates: TryGetAttachedProjectedRecord
(a current Attached projection that is spatially projected) and
TryGetPickEligibleRecord (that arm plus today's World visible-set arm, with
the same WorldEntity.Id staleness recheck). TryGetInteractionEligibleRecord
and the _visible set are deliberately NOT widened - they feed radar,
auto-target, sticky/MoveTo establishment, and CombatAttackTargetSource, and
retail's radar has no wielded blips. A regression test asserts an attached
child stays out of that set while picking admits it.

Marker anchoring had the twin problem. SmartBox::GetObjectBoundingBox @
0x00452E20 pushes the picked object's OWN m_position - which for a child is
the frame CPhysicsObj::UpdateChild @ 0x00512D50 recomposes each tick as
Frame::combine(parent part frame, holding frame) - and
CPartArray::GetSelectionSphere @ 0x00518B80 scales the authored sphere by that
object's own part-array scale. acdream stores the PARENT's root in the child
projection's Position/Rotation because the child's MeshRefs are
parent-relative, which put the vivid brackets at the wielder's feet. The
composed child root is already published per frame to EntityEffectPoseRegistry
by EquippedChildRenderController.PublishChildPose, so selection now borrows it
through an injected Func<uint, Matrix4x4?> wired in LivePresentationComposition
beside the existing selection-sphere hook. There is no parent fallback: a child
with no published composed root has no live frame this tick and no sphere. Its
part-array scale comes from the spawn record, the same source
EquippedChildRenderController.TryRealize reads, because an Attached WorldEntity
carries the parent-derived pose rather than its own ObjScale.

The sr_Use branch of RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @ 0x004E5AD0 guards
ItemHolder::UseObject with `found->pwd._wielderID != SmartBox::player_id` at
0x004E5BE9 while still selecting and flashing. Equipped-child picking makes
that click reachable, so the gate ships with it as
IWorldSelectionQuery.IsWieldedByPlayer.

CPhysicsObj::SetLighting @ 0x00511A80 is non-recursive, so the pulse lights the
clicked object's own part array only - clicking a weapon never flashes its
wielder. That follows from routing the pulse identity through the same
predicate.

RetailWorldPicker, RetailSelectionScene, WbDrawDispatcher, and
EquippedChildRenderController are untouched, as are all wire and physics paths.

The slice REMOVES an undocumented deviation (Attached projections excluded
from pick eligibility versus retail's part-id pick) and introduces none, so no
retail-divergence-register row is owed in either direction.

f9c5e47e7f feat(net): N6 - ConnectResponse retransmit + fragment assembler eviction
Campaign N Slice N6, the final implementation slice.

ConnectResponse handshake retransmit:
- While the connection is unconfirmed, the Connect character-list pump
  resends the IDENTICAL cleartext ConnectResponse (same sequence 1, same
  cookie, the one encoded datagram - no new outbound state) on retail's
  strict 0.333333333 s gate. Retail: ClientNet::ProcessConnection
  @ 0x00545450, case cs_ConnectionRequestAcked @ 0x0054547B (the constant
  load at 0x00545481; the mask-0x41 strictly-greater x87 test at
  0x0054548C); ClientNet::SendConnectAck @ 0x005440F0 re-stamps
  lastSentHandshake_ (0x00544102) and rebuilds the same cookie packet.
- Confirmation = the first checksum-valid post-negotiation packet whose
  header lacks the ConnectRequest flag: retail's cs_ConnectionRequestAcked
  -> cs_Connected edge (ClientNet::ProcessPacket @ 0x00545100, the 0x40000
  exclusion at 0x0054514E, SetConnectionState(..., 5) at 0x00545160).
- The cadence rides the TransportClock (virtual-clock testable through
  TransportClockSource); the Connect deadline stays wall-clock.
- ACE safety pinned against the N0 model: a duplicate while still
  AuthConnectResponse re-routes idempotently through NetworkManager's
  pre-route; after acceptance CheckState clause 2 drops it pre-CRC at
  zero keystream cost.
- Pre-N6, one lost ConnectResponse was a hang to the Connect deadline;
  the N5 decorator deliberately arms after this window, so nothing
  covered it.

FragmentAssembler eviction (divergence register row AD-52):
- Partials evict 60 s after their last ACCEPTED fragment; the stamp
  refreshes on every new fragment (retail's re-stamp rule,
  ArrivedEphInfo::UpdateNetBlobID @ 0x0054AE00), so a merely-slow partial
  can never age out - 60 s is a floor, not a tunable. Swept from
  ReliableTransport.Sweep on retail's 5 s flush cadence
  (Indicator::FlushTimedOutEphInfo @ 0x0054A3D0, the gate at 0x0054A3DC;
  per-entry ArrivedEphInfo::fTimedOut @ 0x0054AE30). N4's RejectRetransmit
  abandonment made an unrecoverable partial a REACHABLE permanent state;
  the TTL reclaims it.
- A 64-entry completed-sequence ring drops late duplicate fragments of
  already-completed messages instead of allocating a fresh partial that
  can never complete (the completed-then-duplicate leak).

Fold-ins:
- N5 review LOW-5: NetProbeTests + LossyTransportDecoratorTests (the
  static NetDiagnostics / Console.SetOut mutators) share one
  DisableParallelization xunit collection so they never run alongside
  classes constructing WorldSession.
- Campaign section 9: N6 ledger row recorded; N5 row verified carrying
  4e290f00.

Gates: 757 Core.Net Release tests green (10 new); full solution Release
green (0 failures / 5 skips); connected lifecycle gate PASS; the
N5-strengthened connected loss gate PASS on its first live run (2%/seed 1:
dropped out=3 in=10, resends=1 nak-in=1 nak-out=5, cksum-fail=0

4e290f00d8 feat(net): N5 - loss observability, lossy decorator, the connected loss gate
Campaign N Slice N5 (docs/plans/2026-07-29-network-transport-campaign.md
section 8 rung 3): the permanent removal of the loopback blindness that let
#260 ship. Local ACE never drops a datagram, so every historical connected
gate was structurally incapable of exercising the N1-N4 recovery machinery;
from this slice on, tools/run-connected-loss-gate.ps1 runs the standard
lifecycle route through deterministic seeded loss and passes only on proven
non-zero recovery.

Observability:
- [net-tick] gains resend/s nak-out/s nak-in/s rej-in/s dup-drop/s parked/s
  reclaim/s cache= nakset= - TransportStats window deltas mirroring the
  acks/s cumulative-delta pattern, plus the two instantaneous depths (the
  unbounded-like-retail sent-packet cache watchdog and the inbound NAK set).
  TransportStats gains RejectsReceived (inbound RejectRetransmit packets).
  Counters increment unconditionally; every string is behind
  NetDiagnostics.ProbeNet (Code Structure Rule 5).
- WorldSession.Dispose emits one cumulative [net-final] totals line so the
  loss gate asserts exact counters instead of reconstructing them from
  rounded per-second rates.
- LinkStatusSnapshot.PacketLossPercentage is deliberately NOT wired: filed
  #261 - retail's CLinkStatusAverages formula
  (LinkStatusHolder::GetPacketLossPercentage @ 0x00411370) must be located
  first; inventing a ratio is forbidden.

N4-review F3 fold-in:
- Fresh reliable sends stamp Header.Iteration = the session iteration
  through the same shared retail header build already cited for Time (N3)
  and the N4 control packets: FlowQueue::TransmitNewPackets @ 0x00547A60,
  the stack build at 0x00547A84/0x00547AA8. The control-header rule now
  holds across all three send shapes (fresh reliable, ack, NAK). ACE reads
  neither Time nor Iteration inbound (campaign section 3) - wire-safe, and
  resends keep the stamp verbatim per the N1 rebuild rule.

Loss injection (Transport/LossyTransportDecorator):
- IWorldSessionTransport wrapper with deterministic seeded per-direction
  loss. Config via NetDiagnostics typed env properties read once:
  ACDREAM_NET_DROP_PCT (0 = off = default), ACDREAM_NET_DROP_SEED (default
  1), ACDREAM_NET_DROP_DIR (out|in|both, default both).
- Arming gate: NOTHING drops in either direction until the decorator has
  FORWARDED the first ENCRYPTED outbound datagram - parse-free check on
  length > 20 with EncryptedChecksum set in the LE flags word at bytes
  4..8. The cleartext handshake always survives and the arming datagram is
  never a casualty; handshake-loss testing belongs to N6's ConnectResponse
  0.333 s retransmit.
- Structurally absent at 0%: WrapIfConfigured returns the raw transport -
  WorldSession's default factory is the only production seam and a normal
  run never constructs the decorator.

Root-cause fix the gate immediately exposed:
- The logoff-confirmation wait in Dispose processed inbound datagrams but
  never pumped the transport, so a lost S2C logoff confirmation was
  gap-detected but its healing NAK never went out. Retail's pump
  (Client::UseTime @ 0x00411C40 -> PacketController::UseTime @ 0x005410D0)
  runs until LogOffServer; the wait now sweeps per processed datagram,
  making the logoff wait the third covered blocking pump (after Tick and
  the handshake loops). A lost C2S logoff REQUEST remains unrecoverable by
  ACE design (arrival-driven NAK; a quiet client is never NAKed - campaign
  section 3 row 1), recorded in the gate header.

Gates:
- tools/run-connected-loss-gate.ps1 (-DropPct 2 -Seed 1): PASS vs local
  ACE - the first automated observation of packet loss in project history.
  Decorator ledger: dropped out=3 in=10 of forwarded out=183 in=496.
  [net-final] resends=2 nak-in=2 nak-out=6 rej-in=0 acks-out=114
  acks-in=119 dup-drop=0 sanity-drop=0 cksum-fail=0 parked=9 reclaimed=0
  uncached-nak=0 cache=1 nakset=0. Every injected loss healed: both
  ACE-driven C2S resend recovery (nak-in=2 -> resends=2) and client-driven
  S2C NAK recovery (parked=9 -> nak-out=6) fired on a real connected
  route, all six checkpoints validated, graceful logout confirmed, ACE
  recorded the transport Disconnect.
- tools/run-connected-world-lifecycle-gate.ps1 (decorator absent): PASS -
  zero behavior change on the no-loss baseline; the gate now defensively
  clears the drop env vars.
- Core.Net Release: 747/747 (737 + 10 N5: decorator determinism/direction/
  arming/structural-absence/env parsing, the 5% seeded WorldSession lossy
  lifecycle with zero message loss both ways + ACE Headroom 256, the
  [net-tick] field pins, the Iteration stamps).
- Full solution Release: 9,763 passed / 5 skipped / 0 failed.

Test-fixture note: FakeAceTransport gains AutoAdvanceOnBlockingReceive so
virtual time can move during the blocking Connect()/EnterWorld() pumps -
with the clock frozen there, a dropped handshake-window datagram could
never be NAK-healed (a fixture artifact, not a transport property).

Campaign section 9 ledger row added (SHA recorded at N6 kickoff).

852a59e388 feat(net): N4 - client NAK emission + RejectRetransmit reclaim
Campaign N slice N4 completes the AckNakScheduler NAK branch and closes
the ACE cleartext-reject keystream hazard - the slice that makes S2C
loss actually RECOVER.

NAK emission (SharedNet::EnqueueNaks @ 0x00543BD0):
- One cleartext exact-flags RequestRetransmit per sweep behind the
  STRICT 0.6 s gate on the ONE shared timestamp (the x87 0x41-mask test
  at 0x00543C03 proceeds only on strictly-greater; the ack's gate stays
  >=). Never an ack in a NAK sweep; a NAK delays the next ack by 2.0 s
  and vice versa (landmine #7).
- Body = u32 count + ids ascending, capped at 114 (ReceiverData::GetNaks
  @ 0x005490C0, cap 0x72; the m_cbData = 4*count+4 store at 0x00543C3E);
  header Sequence borrowed from highestIDSent_ without incrementing;
  cleartext or ACE ignores it (landmine #6, NetworkSession.cs:283-284) -
  and a NAK never refreshes ACE's 60 s timeout.
- Control-header rule decided once for BOTH ack and NAK: Time = the
  interval id, Iteration = the session iteration, matching retail's
  shared header build (FlowQueue::TransmitNewPackets @ 0x00547A60, the
  stack build at 0x00547A84). ACE reads neither field inbound.
- Gate ticks now round instead of truncate: 0.6 has no exact double
  form, and truncation opened the strict gate exactly AT the boundary.

RejectRetransmit reclaim (divergence register AD-51, ACE adaptation):
- ACE's RejectRetransmit consumes a FRESH sequence, cleartext, with NO
  keystream word, and is cached (ACE NetworkSession.cs:299-304,
  :722-725, :743-748) - the one place ACE breaks retail's gap-walk
  invariant that every missing id was word-bearing (retail cleartext
  always borrows live sequences). Unhandled, the gap walk parks a word
  for the reject's id and the inbound stream runs permanently one word
  ahead - the N2 desync class reintroduced through the reject path.
- Fix: on a VALIDATED cleartext reject, InboundSequenceTracker removes
  the mis-park, shifts every later-drawn parked word down one position
  (per-word draw ordinals; ascending wrap-safe id <=> ascending draw
  order), and pools the excess word, consumed lowest-draw-order-first
  ahead of fresh ISAAC draws. Exact for any number of interleaved
  rejects in ANY arrival order - a plain reclaim FIFO is not: a reject
  arriving after a higher encrypted arrival crosses the parked chain,
  and two out-of-order rejects pool their excess words out of draw
  order (both orderings pinned by tests).
- Reject BODY ids keep N2's discard: word-bearing server-side,
  consumed-in-place. The pool is provably empty against retail servers.

N3 advisories folded (all five): honest transitional-state wording (the
empty N3 NAK branch could silently disconnect a loopback session at
ACE's 60 s timeout, witness [net-tick] acks/s=0), the
ReceiverData::SharedInit @ 0x00548EF0 (from Init @ 0x00548FA0)
citation, the FlowQueue::Empty pump-order wording (TransmitNaks ->
TransmitAcks -> TransmitNewPackets with the interval increment LAST @
0x00548A9D; our clock-first Sweep is cosmetic vs ACE), the
Time/Iteration rule above, and the stale WorldSession budget-break
comment rewritten to the sweep reality.

Tests: 737 Core.Net green (14 new in NakEmissionTests + updated N3
pins): strict-gate boundary, shared timestamp both directions,
NAK-xor-ack exclusivity, full wire-shape + 114-cap pins, model-served
retransmission round trip, five tracker reclaim proofs, the 130 s
virtual prune -> fresh-sequence reject system test (victim abandoned,
later traffic decodes, pool drains to zero), 10 s long-loss survival
(NAKs on the gate cadence, zero acks, heal inside the window), and the
capstone soak: 2% seeded bidirectional loss x 10,000 messages -> zero
message loss both ways, ACE crypto headroom 256 at convergence, every
ledger drained (cache at the single watermark entry - retail's Flush
prunes STRICTLY below the ack). Full solution Release: 9,758 passed /
5 skipped. Connected world-lifecycle gate PASS
(logs/connected-world-gate-20260729-150238); canonical nine-stop soak
PASS (logs/connected-r6-soak-20260729-150856).

0265cc4236 feat(net): N3 - AckNakScheduler, retail 2.0s cumulative ack replaces per-packet acks
Campaign N slice N3. Retail never acks per packet: SharedNet::EnqueuePak
@ 0x00543B10 is the binary's only AckSequence (0x4000) construction site,
gated at >= 2.0 s on ReceiverData::timeStamp_ (@ +0x10), armed at
connection birth by ReceiverData::Init @ 0x00548EF0, and arbitrated
NAK-xor-ack per sweep by ClientNet::ProcessConnection @ 0x00545450
(m_SeqIDsWeNAKed non-empty -> EnqueueNaks, else EnqueuePak;
SharedNet::EnqueueNaks @ 0x00543BD0 shares the SAME timestamp -
campaign landmine #7).

- New Transport/AckNakScheduler: owns the one shared timestamp; a
  non-empty NAK set suppresses the ack (N4 emits RequestRetransmit in
  that branch; in N3 it emits nothing - a documented transitional state,
  safe for exactly one slice on loopback), else ONE cleartext exact-flags
  AckSequence carrying the tracker's HighestIdReceived, header sequence
  borrowed from HighestIdSent without incrementing, 4-byte LE body.
  Flags are an EQUALITY, never an OR (landmine #5 - ACE's dedup
  exemption NetworkSession.cs:342-343 and watermark-skip :474-476 both
  require the exact value).
- ReliableTransport.Sweep pump order per FlowQueue::Empty @ 0x00548A20:
  interval clock, NAK/ack arbitration, pending resends, prune. The sweep
  already runs in Tick and both handshake pump loops (landmine #8), so
  cumulative acks flow during the character-list/enter-world floods at
  ACE's own ~2 s cadence.
- WorldSession: the Phase 4.9 per-packet reflex ack in ProcessDatagram
  and SendAck are DELETED; the [net-tick] acks/s probe now reads
  Stats.AcksSent; new internal TransportClockSource seam drives the
  2.0 s gate on virtual time in the conformance suite.
- N1 Fable-review advisory retired (Time-stamp fold-in): fresh reliable
  sends now stamp Header.Time = the current interval id, matching retail
  FlowQueue::TransmitNewPackets @ 0x00547A60 (header build at
  0x00547A84); resends already re-stamped. ACE never reads inbound
  Header.Time, so the wire stays compatible.

Tests: 723 Core.Net (7 new) - gate cadence + watermark-at-emission,
flags-equality pin + model acceptance at the reused sequence without a
watermark advance, NAK suppression and resume after the gap clears, a
50-packet CreateObject flood collapsing to ONE ack, the quiet-session
keepalive property across a 120 s virtual horizon (the reflex ack's
keepalive role, replaced and proven against ACE's 60 s TimeoutDeadline),
the Time fold-in, and a full FakeAceTransport lifecycle with zero
CRC/state/duplicate drops. Full solution Release: 9,744 passed /
5 skipped / 0 failed. Connected world-lifecycle gate PASS (capped +
uncapped-reconnect, graceful exits, 0 failures); canonical nine-stop
route PASS (0 failures).

Campaign section 9 N3 row updated (complete; SHA recorded at N4
kickoff).

46d209d053 feat(net): N2 - inbound sequence-aligned ISAAC + NAK set
Campaign N Slice N2 (docs/plans/2026-07-29-network-transport-campaign.md
S2.2) - the second fatal #260 fix: the inbound keystream now aligns to
SEQUENCE order instead of arrival order. One lost S2C datagram no longer
desyncs the inbound cipher permanently - the missing id's pre-drawn key
parks in the NAK set, later packets keep decoding, and the retransmission
decodes with the parked key.

New src/AcDream.Core.Net/Transport/InboundSequenceTracker.cs - retail's
ReceiverData inbound half, ported rule for rule:
- Sanity window: drop when seq is wrap-safe newer than
  highestIDReceived_ + 0x7FFF (SharedNet::SeqIDSanityCheck @ 0x00543A20;
  the boundary itself is accepted).
- Duplicate/late arrival (encrypted, at/below the watermark): NAK-set
  hit -> decrypt with the PARKED pre-drawn key; miss -> silent drop at
  ZERO keystream cost (SharedNet::ProcessNewSeqNum @ 0x00544690, the
  AVL::Remove branch) - the dup-word-burn and double-dispatch bugs close
  together.
- Gap walk (SharedNet::ProcessNewestSeqNum @ 0x00541930): one inbound
  ISAAC word per missing id, drawn IN SEQUENCE ORDER BEFORE the arriving
  packet's own key (landmine #4), parked beside the id
  (ReceiverData::AddNakked @ 0x00549240, idempotent; id 0 skipped per
  retail's `if (esi_1 != 0)`). Cleartext walks to seq+1 - the borrowed
  id itself gets NAKed, so the real encrypted packet at that id can
  still decode later.
- Verify-failure re-park: a sequenced encrypted checksum failure parks
  the consumed key back beside its id so the retransmission decodes
  (SharedNet::ProcessPacket @ 0x00544790 tail, AddNakked(seq, &key)).
- Inbound RejectRetransmit -> silent NAK-set abandonment; parked keys
  discarded, alignment holds because the words were already drawn
  (SharedNet::HandleEmptyAck @ 0x005448F0).
- NAK set = SortedDictionary<uint,uint> seq -> parked key; ascending
  raw-uint enumeration matches retail's AVL walk for N4's <=114-id NAK
  emission (ReceiverData::GetNaks @ 0x005490C0).

PacketCodec split (campaign S4, retail's own factoring - the key is an
optional in/out of ReceiverData::Decrypt): TryParseBorrowed is the pure
parse + checksum-summand computation with NO keystream access anywhere;
VerifyChecksum(header, headerHash, payloadHash, uint? key) compares the
additive cleartext form (null) or headerHash + (key ^ payloadHash).
TryDecodeBorrowed(datagram, IsaacRandom?) - the consume-before-compare
site that WAS the bug - is deleted; the owned TryDecode stays
(test-only). RejectRetransmit ids are now exposed on both decoders
(borrowed RejectRetransmitBytes/Count like the Request pair; owned
RejectRetransmits list); the bytes were always inside the hashed span,
so parse-hash coverage is unchanged.

WorldSession: ProcessDatagram head is now parse -> sequence-0 split
(cleartext seq-0 = handshake/control, verified additively and processed
as before; encrypted seq-0 dropped before any keystream access, like
retail's ProcessPacket) -> tracker.Admit -> VerifyChecksum with the
admission key -> failure re-park -> unchanged flag handling, N1
transport consumption, reflex ack, and fragment loop. The
RejectRetransmit flag routes to the tracker beside the N1 NAK/ack
consumption. The handshake Connect loop moved to parse +
cleartext-verify (no tracker exists before ISAAC seeding; the
ConnectRequest is cleartext seq 0). ReliableTransport now takes both
Isaacs and exposes Inbound; the session's _inboundIsaac field is
deleted. No production caller constructed the N1 ctor outside
WorldSession, so no compatibility shape was kept.

TransportStats gains InboundDupsDropped, InboundSanityDrops,
ChecksumFailures, KeysParked (unconditional, like the N1 counters).

Watermark init = 1 is an ACE adaptation, register row AD-50 (watermark
INIT only, not a mechanism change; AD-49 stays reserved for the campaign
S5 blob-layer deferral): retail zero-inits ReceiverData, but ACE never
emits S2C sequence 1 - PacketSequence starts unprimed at uint.MaxValue,
the cleartext ConnectRequest takes NextValue 0, and the first ENCRYPTED
flush re-primes CurrentValue to 1 so the first encrypted sequenced
packet is 2 (ACE NetworkSession.cs:716-717 resolving to
UIntSequence(startingValue: 1), Sequence/UIntSequence.cs:9-13,30-41).
A zero-init watermark would gap-walk the permanent id-1 hole: one
spurious NAK, the first pre-drawn word mis-assigned to id 1, and the
keystream off by one from the first encrypted packet onward. holtburger
seeds the same value (crates/holtburger-session/src/session/api.rs:30,
last_server_seq: 1), mirroring ACE's own C2S-side
lastReceivedPacketSequence = 1 (NetworkSession.cs:57). The N0 model's
dance is pinned by the clean-lifecycle conformance test: min encrypted
S2C sequence == 2, zero NAKs, zero spurious drops.

Tests (+14; Core.Net 702 -> 716): the decisive gap test (10,11,13,14 -
13 and 14 decode with fresh words while 12's key parks with
KeysParked=1/NakCount=1, the late 12 decodes with the parked key, 15
takes the next fresh word - impossible pre-N2), zero-cost duplicate
drop (shadow ISAAC position unchanged), re-park -> byte-identical
retransmission decode, the cleartext borrowed-id rule, cleartext at the
watermark (no NAK/key/watermark change), sanity boundary +0x7FFF
accepted / +0x8000 dropped wrap-safe, skip-id-0 across the 32-bit wrap
with ascending NAK enumeration, RejectRetransmit abandonment with
alignment held, warm zero-alloc Admit; plus four real-WorldSession
conformance runs against the N0 ACE double: clean lifecycle (zero NAKs
at every stage), S2C loss of one packet of a Count=2 fragment set
(later packets STILL decode - the N2 win; late byte-identical
redelivery completes the split message intact), duplicate delivery
dropped BEFORE dispatch, and the seq-0 tracker bypass.

N3/N4 handoff notes are recorded in the campaign S9 N2 row: the interim
per-packet reflex ack acks the arriving sequence even while a gap is
parked (ACE prunes the lost id from its S2C cache before N4 could NAK
it - message recovery needs N3's retail NAK-xor-ack sweep), and ACE's
RejectRetransmit consumes a fresh CLEARTEXT sequence with no keystream
word, an ACE-vs-retail wrinkle N4's design must resolve.

Gates: dotnet build green; AcDream.Core.Net.Tests 716/716;
full-solution Release 9,732 passed / 5 skipped / 0 failed; connected
world-lifecycle gate vs local ACE RESULT=PASS (zero failures, one

nine-stop connected route RESULT=PASS.

43e60a6971 feat(net): N1 - outbound sent-packet cache + resend on NAK
Campaign N Slice N1 (docs/plans/2026-07-29-network-transport-campaign.md
S2.1) - the direct #260 fix: every sent reliable packet is now cached and
re-emitted, header-rebuilt, when ACE NAKs a client-sequence gap. One lost
C2S datagram no longer voids every subsequent action for the session's
lifetime.

New src/AcDream.Core.Net/Transport/:
- TransportClock: injectable monotonic source + retail's 0.5 s interval
  counter (ClientFlowQueue::IncrementLocalInterval @ 0x00547F10, tail
  `intervalID_ += elapsed`; the same function's ~3 s TimeSync/Echo cadence
  stays deferred per TS-58).
- SequenceMath: wrap-safe IsNewer/Max (TimeStampUtils::lhs_newer
  @ 0x00543890, reduced to the signed-difference form).
- SentPacketStore: FIFO of ArrayPool-rented wire buffers; Add asserts
  optionalLength == 0 (NetPacket::RemoveDisposableOptionalHeaders
  @ 0x00549510 pinned as a no-op under standalone-control); FlushOlderThan
  pops strictly-older wrap-safe (SentPacketStore::AddSentPacket
  @ 0x0054AB00, Flush @ 0x0054ACD0).
- OutboundFlowQueue: owns the outbound ISAAC, highestIDSent (starts 1,
  pre-increment, wrap 0xFFFFFFFF->1, never 0), the fragment sequence, the
  store, the wrap-safe sorted dedup pending-resend list
  (FlowQueue::EnqueueAcks @ 0x005488E0), and the flushNum_ ack watermark.
  Cache commit happens AFTER a successful send
  (FlowQueue::TransmitNewPackets @ 0x00547A60, commit site 0x00547C85).
  NAK ids[0] folds into the watermark as retail's implicit cumulative ack
  (RecipientData::ProcessNaks @ 0x00547010). A resend rebuilds ONLY the
  20-byte header: flags Retransmission|EncryptedChecksum (|BlobFragments
  with fragments), Time = current interval id, Sequence/Id/Iteration/
  DataSize verbatim, checksum = fresh header hash + stored sealed checksum
  (FlowQueue::TransmitAcks @ 0x005485B0, DequeueAck @ 0x005472F0). The
  original ISAAC key rides inside the sealed value - no new keystream word
  is ever drawn (CryptoSystem::EncryptData @ 0x0065FF40 non-null-key
  path; landmines #1/#2). Resend only on explicit NAK (landmine #3).
- ReliableTransport: composition + Sweep() (interval clock, resends,
  prune). The AckNakScheduler joins in N3/N4; ack behavior is untouched
  this slice.
- TransportStats: unconditional counters (ResendsSent,
  NakRequestsReceived, UncachedNakIds, AcksConsumed) + CacheDepth.

PacketCodec.FinalizeInPlace gains an overload returning (isaacKeyUsed,
sealedChecksum) where sealedChecksum is the pre-header-hash value -
payloadHash cleartext, isaacKey ^ payloadHash encrypted (retail
NetPacket::checksum_). The old signature forwards; encode bytes are
unchanged. Decode is untouched.

WorldSession integration is minimal: the transport is constructed at
ISAAC-seeding time (first reliable packet keeps sequence 2 / fragment 1,
byte-identical to pre-N1); SendGameMessage delegates (probe fseq/pseq now
read the transport); SendAck's borrowed sequence reads HighestIdSent
(identical value, behavior EXACTLY as-is this slice); ProcessDatagram
consumes RequestRetransmit + AckSequence BEFORE the unchanged reflex ack;
the sweep runs at the end of Tick() after the budget break AND inside
both blocking handshake pump loops (Connect step 4, EnterWorld
ServerReady - landmine #8), gated on _transportNegotiated; Dispose
returns the rented cache buffers.

Bookkeeping: TS-57 filed in the divergence register (uncached NAK ids
dropped silently + counted instead of retail's RejectRetransmit - ACE
no-ops the reject and the standalone unsequenced form would trip ACE's
watermark hole); TS-27 narrowed to the inbound direction in the same
commit; the stale WorldSession class-doc gap list corrected.

N0 fold-ins from the re-review: AceSessionModel.ProcessFragment split
into ACE's two literal branches (existing-buffer checks Complete,
NetworkSession.cs:495-507; new-buffer constructs + adds + TryAdds WITHOUT
checking Complete, :509-518), and the zero-count-fragment test now pins
the parked dead buffer (PartialFragmentBufferCount 0 -> 1). e3958610
recorded in the campaign ledger's N0 row.

Tests: 15 new in Transport/OutboundReliableTransportTests.cs - store
FIFO/strict/wrap-safe flush with rent/return balance via a counting
pool, interval-clock start/advance/wrap, resend header shape (flags
exactly 3 or 7, Time = interval, verbatim fields, checksum identity,
bit-identical body), resend-consumes-no-ISAAC-word, uncached-NAK
counting, ids[0] watermark fold + strict prune, wrap-safe ack max,
conformance resend verifying under AceCryptoModel with the ORIGINAL
parked key (Headroom 256, zero orphans, ordering restored), an
end-to-end FakeAceTransport lossy run (10 game actions, C2S #5 dropped,
all 10 dispatched in order, exactly one resend, session alive), and
zero-alloc steady-state SendGameMessage.

Gates: dotnet build green; AcDream.Core.Net.Tests 702/702; full-solution
Release 9,723 passed / 5 skipped / 0 failed; connected world-lifecycle
gate vs local ACE RESULT=PASS (0 failures, both sessions exit 0; one
pre-existing expected world-edge landblock-miss warning).

e395861053 test(net): N0 fix-up - CheckState gate, bundle coalescing, two-phase terminate
Addresses the N0 review findings against commit 7e9134b4. Test-only: no
production code changes.

F1 (blocking) - model Session.CheckState (Session.cs:93-110). A three-value
AceSessionState (AuthLoginRequest -> AuthConnectResponse -> AuthConnected)
advances on SendConnectRequest (AuthenticationHandler.cs:127, :232) and on the
accepted ConnectResponse (NetworkManager.cs:77). CheckState runs as the first
statement of Receive after TryParse - ahead of the ConnectResponse route and
ahead of VerifyCRC - so a LoginRequest out of state, a replayed
ConnectResponse, or any of AckSequence|TimeSync|EchoRequest|Flow during
AuthLoginRequest is dropped at zero keystream cost (ACE's PacketHeader.HasFlag
is ANY-of, PacketHeader.cs:70). New StateDropCount counter.

F2 - implement SendBundle faithfully (NetworkSession.cs:808-919). One
NetworkBundle per GameMessageGroup (NetworkBundle.cs:6-63), swapped out and
sent in ascending group order; the InvalidQueue bundle carries the ack /
TimeSync / EchoResponse optional headers. As many same-bundle fragments as fit
the 464-byte body budget now travel in ONE packet - one sequence, one keystream
word - and a message whose remaining data fills a packet splits across packets
with Count>1 fragments (:846-854, :874-888) via a port of ACE's server-side
MessageFragment (MessageFragment.cs:10-103). The old "one packet per message"
shortcut and its incorrect rationale are gone.

F3 - model the two-phase termination. Terminate arms PendingTermination with
the 2 s window (Session.cs:281-298, SessionTerminationDetails.cs:12); inbound
and outbound keep running through it (Session.cs:124-133), then the pump
completes the session work and releases the network resources
(NetworkManager.cs:366-369 -> Session.cs:300-334 -> NetworkSession.cs:958-974).
IsTerminated now means "termination armed"; IsReleased is the point of no
return.

F4 - port ACE's MessageBuffer exactly (MessageBuffer.cs:7-54): a List, not an
index-addressed array. An assembled stream under 4 bytes returns null and is
dropped WITHOUT advancing the fragment gate (:49-50 + NetworkSession.cs:504-506
removing the buffer either way), and a later fragment claiming a larger
Count/Index for the same sequence completes the message instead of throwing.

F5 - the C2S parse path now characterizes ACE: fragment parsing uses ACE's
complete validation (16 <= Size <= 464, ClientPacketFragment.cs:12-24) with no
Count==0 / Index>=Count rejection and with ReadBytes' short-read tolerance,
instead of inheriting acdream's stricter production layout check. The one
remaining strictness we inherit - the 1024-id cap on retransmit lists - is
documented as unreachable (ACE reads into a 1024-byte buffer, so a C2S datagram
can carry at most 250 ids).

F6 - class doc now states that C2S CRC verification reuses acdream's own
PacketHeaderOptional hashing, so the double is NOT an independent oracle on
optional-header wire layout, and names the two known asymmetries (ACE has no
inbound ConnectRequest parse; ACE hashes-but-does-not-advance on
LoginRequest / WorldLoginRequest / ConnectResponse).

F7 - hardened three weak tests: the NAK rate limit is probed at 0.9 s and at
exactly 1.0 s (both closed) before 1.1 s opens it; the session timeout is
probed at exactly 60 s after fixing the model's `>` to ACE's `>=`
(Session.cs:140); the cache prune pins that an entry exactly 120 s old survives
(:258 is strictly greater).

F9 - campaign doc section 9 ledger: N0 row marked complete.

Nine new tests; 687 Core.Net tests green in Release.

7e9134b4d1 test(net): N0 - ACE-behaviour double, virtual clock, lossy link
Campaign N slice N0 (docs/plans/2026-07-29-network-transport-campaign.md):
the referee that slices N1-N5 are graded against, test-project only, zero
production changes.

- VirtualClock: Stopwatch-shaped deterministic time source (fixed 100 ns
  ticks) that N1 will inject behind the production TransportClock.
- AceCryptoModel: verbatim port of ACE CryptoSystem Search/ConsumeKey over
  our IsaacRandom - 256-key window, parked-key set, Headroom/OrphanCount
  diagnostics (CryptoSystem.cs:8-49 cited per method).
- AceSessionModel: transport-free ACE NetworkSession over raw datagrams,
  every rule cited to NetworkSession.cs - CRC-before-everything silent
  drop, cleartext-NAK early return (no timeout refresh, :283-308),
  60 s timeout refresh (:329-331), exact-equality ack dedup exemption
  (:342-347), desired+2 NAK trigger with 1 s limit (:351-363), >window
  AbnormalSequenceReceived (:393-397), the :474-476 watermark hole,
  ack-value cache prune (:663-673), fragment gate (:532-543), seq>=2
  caching (:730), Retransmission-flag resends with the ORIGINAL IssacXor
  (:675-686), RejectRetransmit, 2 s cleartext cumulative ack, 20 s
  TimeSync, EchoResponse, 120 s cache prune (:251-262). ACE's raw
  wrap-unsafe comparisons are modeled bug-for-bug, not fixed.
- LossyLink: deterministic drop/reorder/seeded-loss fault injector, pure
  data structure.
- FakeAceTransport: IWorldSessionTransport binding a REAL WorldSession to
  the model through the link, with the handshake scripted (ConnectRequest
  reusing the negotiation fixture layout, CharacterList, ServerReady,
  logoff confirmation) - genuine Connect/EnterWorld/Tick/Dispose with no
  sockets.
- 19 new tests pin the double, including
  CleartextNonAckAdvancesWatermark_TheAceHole (the self-induced wedge
  behind scope rows TS-57/TS-58/AP-125), re-key = permanent orphan,
  unrequested-resend window burn, the 115-id NAK cap boundary, and a
  full no-socket session lifecycle with both ISAAC streams verified
  aligned end-to-end.

Core.Net suite: 678 passed / 0 failed (659 existing + 19 new).

39c1737bda feat(core): adopt retail's SoundType catalog; retire AC2D
SoundId was not a subset of retail's table, the way its comment claimed.
It was an invention: 23 acdream-local names on acdream-local values, and
the values were wrong in the way that matters. FootstepDefault = 0x02 is
retail's Random. SwingSword = 0x10 is retail's Death2. Death = 0x60 is
retail's Explode. Anyone who reached for one of those names to compare
against a wire or dat value would have got a different sound.

Nothing referenced any of them by name -- grep for `SoundId.` across src
and tests returns nothing -- so this was a trap rather than a live defect,
the same shape the enum campaign found in DamageType. All 22 invented names
are deleted and retail's 205 replace them.

Three oracles agree exactly, on every name and every value: retail
acclient.h:4569 enum SoundType, ACE's Sound, and DatReaderWriter's Sound.
The third matters most. AudioHookSink already resolves SoundTable lookups
through DatReaderWriter.Enums.Sound, so that is the enum acdream actually
reads at runtime; our catalog now agrees with the values already flowing
through the dat path, and a conformance test pins the two so they cannot
drift apart.

On the "206 sounds" figure: retail's block holds 207 entries, being 205
sounds followed by NUM_SOUND_TYPES = 0xCD and FORCE_SoundType_32_BIT. The
first is a count and the second a width pin. Counting the former is where
206 came from. Neither is a member here, matching how the campaign treated
NUM_ATTACK_HEIGHTS and Num_HoldKeys -- a count is not a value the wire can
carry.

Behaviour is unchanged and could not be otherwise: the enum had no
consumers. IAudioEngine's three SoundId overloads are no-op stubs and the
live path takes wave ids and DatReaderWriter values.

The user's separate report that sound is "not working that good" is a
triggering, selection and attenuation question rather than a catalog one,
and is filed as its own Bucket B row in the post-Vulkan intake.

Also in this commit, by user decision: AC2D is retired as a reference. Its
clone and directory are gone and it must not be re-cloned. Everything we
took from it still stands and is written down -- the FSplitNESW terrain
split constants, the 0xF61C movement packet layout, the finding that a
client need not compute terrain Z itself -- so CLAUDE.md's reference list,
its hierarchy table, and the architecture doc's protocol row now point at
docs/research/2026-04-12-movement-deep-dive.md rather than erasing the
history. The reference count drops from six to five.

f27ad9ee43 feat(core): adopt retail's full WeenieError code table
acdream carried 16 status codes, curated by hand out of the CMotionInterp
and MoveToManager decompilation passes. The other 362 were unnamed, which
made every one of them a cast site waiting to happen. This slice takes the
whole table: 372 values under 378 names.

The oracle set is finally complete. All six vendored reference repos were
empty when the 2026-07-29 enum campaign ran, which is why it deferred this
decision; they are re-cloned now, so ACE's WeenieError could be read
directly instead of leaning on the UtilityBelt catalog alone.

The two agree without a single conflict. ACE has 369 members, no internal
value collisions. The catalog has 372, shares all 369 ACE names, and
disagrees on none of their values. Its three extras -- IsNowOpenFellowship
(0x050B), IsNowClosedFellowship (0x050C), LockedFellowshipCannotRecruit
(0x0518) -- each turn up in ACE's separate WeenieErrorWithString enum with
a `_` marking the interpolated name, so the catalog is just the less-split
view of the same client enum. All three are adopted on agreement between
two oracles, not on one.

Retail cannot arbitrate any of this. acclient.h has no counterpart enum;
its charError (26) is character-creation only. Recorded, not guessed
around.

Six values keep two names. acdream's NotGrounded, CrouchInCombatStance,
SitInCombatStance, SleepInCombatStance, ChatEmoteOutsideNonCombat and
ActionDepthExceeded are each anchored to a retail decompilation site, where
ACE's names for those values are server-side coinages. Rather than pick,
both are declared, acdream's first so ToString() is untouched.

Behaviour is unchanged, and there is no way for it not to be: nothing in
the tree branches on a WeenieError member. MotionInterpreter's switch is on
a motion type and merely returns one of these; WeenieErrorText.For switches
on a raw uint; the chat translation table WeenieErrorMessages is keyed on
uint throughout, so naming a code does not make it render. The one site
that moved is RemoteTeleportHook, where the (WeenieError)0x3Cu cast becomes
the now-named WeenieError.ITeleported at the same value.

Register row AP-15 is narrowed rather than retired. Its code-catalog caveat
is superseded -- an unnamed code is no longer a way for it to bite -- but
the sentences are still ACE's doc comments rather than retail's
string_table.bin, and that part stands.

The enum moved out of MotionInterpreter.cs into its own file at the same
namespace. At 372 members it does not belong inside a physics class file.

Core tests 3903 passed / 2 skipped.

200f19ce47 test(app): put every strict-zero site on the probe (#250)
The first commit converted the four members the issue named and left the other
sites alone, reasoning that none had been observed failing. A 20-run
complete-solution baseline disproved that within minutes:

  run  2  LiveEntityRuntimeTests.AnimationView_HotSpatialTraversal…
  run 14  StaticRenderProjectionJournalTests.ActiveAnimatedSynchronization…
  run 18  StaticRenderProjectionJournalTests.ActiveAnimatedSynchronization…
  run 19  CurrentRenderSceneOracleTests.SurfaceOverrideFingerprint…

Both new names are the same shape as the four — one warm call, then a
thousand-iteration loop inside the measured window — and neither had been
recorded anywhere. "Not observed failing" only ever meant "not yet observed",
and leaving known-shape sites in place would have guaranteed the acceptance gate
failed. Run 19 is the sharper lesson: the issue named
`SurfaceOverrideFingerprint_DictionaryHotPathAllocatesNothing`, and the first
commit converted a *different* test in that same file, so the actually-named
member was still on the old shape. Matching by file was not matching by test.

Every strict-zero site in the assembly is now on the probe — ten tests. Two came
out stricter rather than merely steadier:

`StaticRenderProjectionJournalTests` was measuring a synchronise whose journal
does **not** coalesce. Repeating it grew the journal by 1,000 entries per call —
192,000 by the end of a probe run — so the steady state the test claimed to
measure did not exist and the single-call window had been hiding it. Its step is
now the whole frame cycle, synchronise *and* drain, which puts `DrainTo` inside
the measured window for the first time and asserts the journal ends empty.

`RetailInboundEventDispatcherTests` asserted a hard-coded 1,001 callbacks. It
now counts its own dispatches and pins the callback count against that, so the
assertion still proves the fast path ran the callback every time without being
coupled to a loop bound that no longer exists.

Left alone deliberately: the four sites asserting a tolerance rather than zero —
`CellViewDedupTests` and `PortalProjectionTests`. Their ceilings already absorb
this noise and none has flaked; changing a bound in either direction is a
separate decision from fixing a measurement. Worth noting that
`PortalProjectionTests`' ceiling exists explicitly to tolerate "a
tiered-JIT/ArrayPool bookkeeping transition ... to the first measured batch",
which is exactly what the probe removes, so it could probably be tightened to
zero now — recorded in the issue rather than done here.

Solution build 0 warnings / 0 errors; App suite 3,941 passed / 3 skipped.

1d73ce524c test(app): measure the warmed path, not the path being warmed (#250)
The zero-allocation family failed about one full-suite run in three, on
unchanged trees, and had been dismissed as inherent noise in
`GC.GetAllocatedBytesForCurrentThread` three separate times. It is not noise.
Reading the four members side by side, they share one root: **the measured
window was never the warmed path.**

  UiDatFontTests            1 warm call, then a 10,000-iteration loop inline
  RenderFrameProductTests   8 warm calls, then a 1,000-iteration loop inline
  OracleTests               1 warm call, 1 measured call
  ArchRenderSceneTests      warms Apply(registrations), measures Apply(updates)

Two mechanisms come out of that table. A test method is JIT-compiled at tier 0
like anything else, and a long-running loop in tier-0 code gets replaced
mid-flight by on-stack replacement — which compiles on the thread running the
loop, so its bookkeeping is charged to the window being measured. That is the
first two. And `ArchRenderSceneTests` warmed one arm of a switch and measured
the other, so the measured call was the first ever into `ApplyUpdate` and paid
that arm's JIT, type loads and static initialisation inside the window;
`RenderFrameProductTests` warmed 8 times, below the tier-0 call-counting
threshold of 30, so promotion was still pending when measurement began.

That also explains the signature nobody could account for. Alone, the process is
quiet and the runtime has finished before the assertion arrives. Alongside eight
other test assemblies, tier-0 compilation never stops, the call-counting delay is
re-armed continually, and the work slides into the window. Clean in isolation,
failing under load, on a tree that changed nothing.

`ZeroAllocationProbe` invokes the step many times before measuring anything, then
measures windows that run the same already-warmed loop over the same
already-taken path. Each window is a batch of 32 invocations and it reports the
minimum across 4 of them. Both halves are load-bearing: the minimum is what
excludes a one-time cost, and the batch is what keeps the assertion as strong as
the loops it replaces — minimising over *single* invocations would report zero
for a path that allocates every tenth call, which is a real regression made
invisible. I had written it that way first and the apparatus test caught it.

**The bound is untouched: exactly zero, no tolerance, no retry, no assertion
relaxed.** `ZeroAllocationProbeTests` proves the apparatus can still fail — a
step allocating every call reads above zero and does throw, a first-invocation
cost reads as zero, a cost every tenth call is caught, and the one stated limit
(the batch must cover the period) is pinned as a test rather than left as prose.
Without those, a later edit could quietly make the whole family unfailable.

Twelve further sites in this assembly still use the hand-rolled shape. None has
been observed failing, and each needs its own repeatability analysis — several
mutate state or consume monotonic sequences — so they are listed in the issue
for adoption when next touched rather than converted blind at scale.

ce9445b270 fix(render): the near plane is col3, not col4 + col3 (#248)
`FrustumPlanes.FromViewProjection` extracted the near plane with the
Gribb-Hartmann form written for OpenGL's `[-1,1]` clip-space z range. Every
acdream projection comes from `Matrix4x4.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView` or
`CreateOrthographic`, whose range is `[0,1]`. Under `[-1,1]` the near plane is
the locus of `clip.z = -clip.w`, which is `col4 + col3`; under `[0,1]` it is
`clip.z = 0`, which is `col3` alone.

Concretely, the mismatch put the effective near threshold at `-n·f/(2f-n)` —
about 0.5 m where the retail chase camera asks for 1.0 m. That error only ever
kept geometry the true frustum would have dropped, never the reverse, which is
why it produced no visible defect and was filed instead of hot-fixed during
Campaign V. It is still wrong, and it is the same mistake that *was* visible in
`PortalProjection`, where it culled the cell behind a doorway the camera stood
close to.

The far plane is `col4 - col3` under both conventions and is untouched. A test
pins it anyway, so that a future edit to this function cannot drift it while
nobody is looking.

The acceptance criterion asked for a unit test pinning the extracted near
distance to the camera's near value, and that is what landed: a theory over four
near/far pairs asserting the plane is unit-length, faces down -Z, and stands off
the eye by exactly `nearDistance`, plus a kept/dropped pair straddling it. The
test was checked against the old formula before commit and fails all four cases
there — it measures the fix rather than merely accompanying it.

The other half of the acceptance criterion — unchanged culling in the offline
pixel gate and the connected route — could not be run: #259 has Win32 surface
creation failing machine-wide, so no gate that needs a window is available
tonight. Recorded as outstanding rather than assumed.

Solution build 0 errors; `AcDream.Core.Tests` 3,898 passed / 2 skipped / 3,900.

22ae7944b6 merge(net): the wire-stack audit, and one reconciled #255
Brings `github/overnight/wire-audit` (`41f74fcd`) forward onto the V11 tree.
Like the enum branch it was cut at `b70b9832`, and like the enum branch its
subject is disjoint from the deletion: the audit lives in `AcDream.Core.Net`
and its tests, V11 emptied `AcDream.App`. One conflict, in `docs/ISSUES.md`,
resolved below.

What it carries: three real parser fixes — ranged speech was carrying a range
float the parser ate, a chat type that is never sent was silently dropping every
transient string on it, and `xpSpent` is a dword on the wire where we were
writing eight bytes. Plus the transport flag word pinned against ACE across all
twenty-three bits, golden fixtures generated from ACE's own writer instead of
hand-typed hex, and the audit document covering all three hundred forty-nine
opcodes.

**The conflict, and how it was resolved.** Both this branch and V11's closeout
reopened #255 — the RetailDatLoader concurrency tests that measure the thread
pool rather than the loader — on the same day, from different trees, without
knowing about each other. Neither reopening is a duplicate of the other: the
V11 gate saw 2 failures in 5 complete-solution Release runs on the
post-deletion tree, the audit session saw 2 in 4 on the pre-deletion tree, and
both saw 124/124 in isolation every time. They independently reached the same
conclusion, that `TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning` is a hint rather than a
guarantee, and independently proposed the same fix, a rendezvous inside the read
stub.

So the two notes are merged into one issue with both evidence sets kept as
labelled subsections rather than one overwriting the other. Four failures across
nine runs on two trees is a materially stronger case than either half, and the
agreement between two blind observations is the part worth preserving. No
assertion was weakened and no retry was added; the fix itself remains open.

Verified on the merge result: Release build 0 errors, and
`AcDream.Core.Net.Tests` at 659 passed / 0 skipped, up exactly the 59 the branch
claimed.

cd2f3feae2 merge(core): the enum verification campaign, onto the post-deletion tree
Brings `github/overnight/enums` (`c19680fd`) forward onto the V11 tree. The
branch was cut at `b70b9832`, before the OpenGL deletion, and the two lines of
work turned out to be disjoint: the enum campaign lives entirely in
`AcDream.Core` and its tests, while V11 emptied `AcDream.App`. The merge is
clean — no conflicting file on either side.

What it carries: names for AC's seven property tables verified against two
oracles, a correction to `DamageType`'s rotated bits and `ItemType`'s shifted
craft ladder, the retail members the equipment and physics enums were missing,
and names for `AmmoType`, `CombatUse` and `ItemUseable`. Five commits, seventeen
files, +3,767 / -27 lines.

Verified on the merge result rather than on the branch: Release build 0 errors,
no new warning attributable to any file the branch touches, and
`AcDream.Core.Tests` at 3,893 passed / 2 skipped / 3,895. The campaign's
claimed +597 is exact — the `Properties` namespace alone runs 597 tests, all
passing.

The campaign's open decision items — whether to adopt `WeenieError` wholesale,
whether the `SoundId` subset is the right cut, and the re-clone of the ACE and
Chorizite references that `references/` no longer holds — are not settled here.
They are carried into the morning report as questions for the user.

7a0227c12e feat(render): Vulkan campaign V11 step 3 — drop the GL packages and shaders
Commit 2 deleted the GL rendering backend's implementations; this step
removes the package references and shader vocabulary they leave behind,
so nothing in the App project still spells Silk.NET.OpenGL.

Silk.NET.OpenGL and Silk.NET.OpenGL.Extensions.ARB are dropped from
AcDream.App.csproj. Chorizite.Core stays — the audit is NOT clean: its
Render.Enums (TextureFormat, BufferUsage) and Lib.BoundingBox types are
used directly and extensively across the Wb texture/mesh pipeline,
independent of the deleted GL IUniformBuffer implementers the package
comment used to cite. The stale comment is corrected in place.

IMeshPipelineDevice.Gl is removed along with the GL? gl parameter
threaded through WbMeshAdapter's four constructors, WorldRenderComposition's
CreateMeshAdapter, and VulkanMeshPipelineDevice's Gl => null
implementation — nothing read any of them once the legacy per-mesh
upload bodies were gone (confirmed by grep: the sole non-doc-comment hit
was a test assertion). While in WbMeshAdapter.Dispose(), found and fixed
a real bug along the way: its teardown still pattern-matched the deleted
GL GpuFrameFlightController to decide whether to wait for submitted work,
which VulkanFrameFlightController replaced at slice V6a without this site
being updated — so the wait had been silently dead on every Vulkan run
since then. Retargeted to VulkanFrameFlightController, which carries the
same WaitForSubmittedWork().

The GL pixel-format vocabulary (Silk.NET.OpenGL.PixelFormat/PixelType) that
WorldTextureArray/TextureFormatExtensions/TextureAtlasManager used for
upload validation is replaced by AcDream.Content's existing Silk.NET-free
UploadPixelFormat/UploadPixelType enums (added at MP1a to keep the bake
tool GL-free); two new members (Rgb, Red, Float) extend that enum with
their GL ABI constants to cover the full vocabulary WorldTextureArray
needs, since MP1a's original set only covered what the extractor itself
emits. ObjectMeshManager's App-boundary cast
`(Silk.NET.OpenGL.PixelFormat?)batch.UploadPixelFormat` becomes a direct
pass-through now that both sides share the type.

GpuBindingModel.StorageTextureTable (the GL-only binding=9 emulation of
the Vulkan texture table) is deleted and StorageBindingCount drops from
10 to 9; the descriptor-set-layout code that builds from that count
(VulkanPipelineLayouts, VulkanFrameBindings) is untouched and just
allocates one fewer always-dummy-seeded, always-unused binding.

Several fully dead GL-only classes came along for the ride, confirmed by
zero construction sites: SilkFramebufferViewportTarget
(NullFramebufferViewportTarget is the sole production
IFramebufferViewportTarget), SilkRenderGlStateReader
(NullRenderGlStateReader.Instance is the sole IRenderGlStateReader),
RuntimeRenderFrameClearPhase (VulkanRenderFrameClearPhase is the sole
IRenderFrameClearPhase, expressing the same atmosphere-clear logic as a
pass load-op instead), and GpuFrameTimer plus FrameProfiler's
GL-owning FrameBoundary(GL) overload and BeginGpuFrame/EndGpuFrame
bracket (RecordGpuSample is the only GPU-timing path any backend uses
now — the ACDREAM_WB_DIAG nested-query exclusion these existed for no
longer applies, since WbDrawDispatcher's own diagnostic GPU sampling
already moved to the device's Vulkan timer pool). GpuFrameFlightController
itself stays (never constructed with a real fence API in production, but
its retirement-ledger/serial-ring logic is backend-neutral and still
covered by its own unit tests) — only its GL-specific parts (the public
GL constructor overload, SilkGpuFenceApi) are deleted, since removing the
whole class would mean restructuring the frozen Slice-8 composition
shape's GpuFrameFlightController? threading, which is out of this
commit's scope. TextureParameters.cs and BufferUsageExtensions.cs
(zero callers each) are deleted outright.

common.glsl is deleted: nothing in the actual Vulkan .spv build reads
it. tools/ShaderCompiler/Program.cs compiles each .vert/.frag pair
directly and tools/ShaderCompiler/VulkanGlslPreamble.cs injects its own
complete self-contained preamble per file; common.glsl's textual
concatenation was exclusively Shader.cs's GL-only mechanism, deleted at
Commit 2. The five shader files that named it in comments
(mesh_modern.vert, particle.vert, particle.frag, sky.frag,
terrain_modern.frag) are corrected to point at VulkanGlslPreamble.cs
instead. mesh.vert/mesh.frag — the pre-N.5 legacy shader pair the
mandatory modern path already made unreachable, with zero C# consumers
and no compiled .spv — are deleted too. Regenerated via
tools/compile-shaders.ps1: 9/9 remaining shader pairs compile
(previously 9/10, with mesh the sole failure — the VulkanShaderManifestTests
doc comment's "nine of ten are not Vulkan-expressible" was already
stale before this commit).

Test fallout: dead-subject test methods/files are deleted rather than
patched (TextRendererFailureSafetyTests.cs, ClipFrameUploadTests.cs,
GpuResourceRetirementTransactionTests.cs's GL queue tests, one
WorldRenderDiagnosticsTests source-order test, one
RenderFrameResourceControllerTests clear-phase-order test); tests whose
subject moved or was renamed are updated in place rather than deleted
(GpuContractTests, VulkanCapabilityGateTests, MeshPipelineDeviceSeamTests'
pinned seven-member surface now reads six, ParticleBindlessInstanceTests'
cross-dialect check now covers the one surviving dialect,
WbMeshAdapterTests' misleadingly-named null-gl test — gpuDevice was
always the parameter that actually threw).

Build: `dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release` — 0 warnings, 0 errors,
with the Silk.NET.OpenGL/.Extensions.ARB package references physically
removed from the csproj (not just unreferenced in code).
Tests: full-solution `dotnet test` green across every project.
Zero remaining `using Silk.NET.OpenGL` anywhere in src/ or tests/.
