Measured (§9.7): the connected R6 soak at e10765aa showed the round-1
batching fix (§9.6 F2) was inert in practice — CPU p50 flat at 31.2 ms
and FPS flat at 32 across every outdoor destination (baseline 2.0-15.5 ms
/ 51-452 FPS), GPU p50 2-4x baseline. Root cause: nearly every admitted
land cell carries scenery statics, so a StreamMark (recorded whenever the
walk's ordered stream grows) follows almost every LandCell event and was
itself treated as a flush point, splitting the pending terrain batch back
down to ~500 submissions/frame — each paying TerrainModernRenderer's full
bind sequence plus a ring allocation and an MDI.
F10: a StreamMark no longer flushes the pending terrain batch. Citation —
the walk's ordered stream holds ONLY opaque batches
(WalkStaticStreamPopulator.cs:179, `if (batch.IsOpaque)` routes translucent
batches to the alpha list instead of the stream) drawn through the
Opaque/OpaqueAlphaToCoverage pipelines, both created with depth test AND
write ON and GpuBlendMode.None (WbDrawDispatcher.Rhi.cs:240-248,343:
`Depth = new GpuDepthState(Test: true, Write: depthWrite, depthCompare)`
with depthWrite: true); DrawOrderedRange resolves every walk-stream
command's bucket to PipelineBucket.Opaque because every command it holds
is opaque (WbDrawDispatcher.OrderedStream.cs:569-571). Opaque terrain and
opaque statics are therefore depth-resolved identically in either
submission order, so deferring the terrain batch across a StreamMark is
pixel-identical (except exact z-ties, which retail itself leaves
order-independent).
Flush points that REMAIN, because their GPU order against terrain IS
observable: PunchFan (DEPTHTEST_ALWAYS + write — the far-Z stamp this
chunk's interleave exists to order correctly), AlphaBarrier and
LandscapeFlush (translucent drains), ClearInteriorDepth, ExitSeals, Sky,
CellShell, a particle turn whose cell has a renderable emitter, and the
end of Replay. AlphaSubmitMark stays a non-flush point (unchanged — it
only enqueues into the CPU alpha list). No ordered-stream stage found
that blends or disables depth write, so no amendment to the contract was
needed; the Replay doc comment records the citation so a future stage
that does must become a flush point again.
F11: no per-batch bind latch added (tens of batches/frame is acceptable).
F12: the F4(c) driver pin is re-expressed to prove a StreamMark from a
cell with real content (not just an empty particle turn) no longer
splits, while PunchFan/AlphaBarrier/a has-emitter particle turn still do;
a new punch-order pin (LandCell(far), building turn with a PunchFan,
LandCell(near)) proves the far terrain flushes before the punch and the
near terrain starts a fresh batch after it. Hermetic App lane: 6,796
passed (6,795 base + 1 new fact), 0 failed.

- the LandCell event doc states the deferred cross-block batch rule (the
same-landblock lookahead text was stale);
- the AlphaSubmitMark arm's comment gives the true reason it is not a
flush point (it only enqueues into the CPU alpha list; the drain leaves
flush first);
- the pending terrain batch is cleared with the other transient frame
lists in AbortFrame/BeginFrame;
- CompleteWalkTerrainFrame runs in a finally so a throwing Replay cannot
leak its accumulated ticks into the next frame's sample;
- CopyRenderableEmittersInCell keeps its own doc comment;
- the outdoor-root LandCell pin now observes one real cell turn after its
terrain;
- the oh1 landscape contract's stale "whole pre-stage" prose is resolved.

Fixes the three-lens review blockers against 671eb3ad4 (S3 section 9.6 F1-F6).
F1 - slot key (blocking, retail). TerrainModernRenderer.DrawLandCells
normalizes every incoming landblockId to (id & 0xFFFF0000u) | 0xFFFFu
before the _idToSlot lookup: the walk hands 0xXXYY0000
(WalkLandBlock.LandblockId) but AddLandblock stores under the DAT id
0xXXYYFFFF (LandblockRenderPublisher.LandblockId) - every walk lookup
was missing and the walk path drew NO terrain. Unit-tested end-to-end
through a real RecordingGpuDevice-backed TerrainModernRenderer
(TerrainWalkSlotKeyNormalizationTests): AddLandblock(0xA9B4FFFF, ...)
is found by a 0xA9B40000 lookup, an unknown landblock is a silent
per-entry no-op, and a batch mixing a known and unknown entry submits
only the known one.
F2 - deferred cross-block batching (blocking, driver). Retail's
DrawSortCell always follows DrawLandCell (LC/SC strictly alternate,
never two LC in a row - S3 section 9 R1), so chunk 3's "merge
consecutive same-landblock LandCell events" rule never actually
merged anything; the driver review flagged batching as inert.
WalkFrameDriver.Replay now keeps ONE pending terrain batch across
landblocks ((landblockId, side, cellIndex) entries, cleared at
Replay's own start); a LandCell event only appends; every OTHER event
kind that will itself submit GPU work (StreamMark, Sky, CellShell,
PunchFan, AlphaBarrier, LandscapeFlush, ClearInteriorDepth,
ExitSeals) flushes the pending batch first; a StaticParticles/
CellParticles turn asks the new ParticleSystem.
HasRenderableEmittersInCell (an allocation-free sibling of
CopyRenderableEmittersInCell) and, when the cell has no renderable
emitter, submits nothing and does NOT flush either - the whole point
of the deferred rule. The end of Replay flushes the remainder. This
is order-preserving by construction: a flush always lands at the
exact point the unbatched draw would have, so GPU submission order -
and therefore pixels - is identical to the unbatched baseline; only
the number of small terrain draw calls shrinks.
TerrainModernRenderer.DrawLandCellRuns becomes DrawLandCells(
viewProjection, IReadOnlyList<(uint LandblockId, int SideCellCount,
int CellIndex)>) - one MultiDrawIndexedIndirect over every entry's
runs, unknown slots skipped per-entry. IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.
DrawLandCellBatch drops its separate landblockId parameter to match
(a batch can span several landblocks now) and gains
HasRenderableEmittersInCell.
Batch-count demonstration: driven through a real WalkFrameDriver
Replay (OnLandCellTurn_MergesAcrossLandblocksOverAnEmptyParticleTurn_
RealSubmissionsSplit), 4 LandCell turns across 3 distinct landblocks,
separated only by an empty particle turn, a real StreamMark, and a
building's alpha barrier, submit as exactly 3 DrawLandCellBatch calls
(2+1+1) instead of 4 - the empty particle turn's non-flush merges two
otherwise-separate cross-landblock entries. At production scale the
same mechanism is expected to cut the terrace-edge frame's ~578
individual DrawLandCell events (S3 section 9's captured transcript
count) to "tens" of submitted batches, per the contract's own
expectation: most terrain cells have no particle owner nearby, so the
strict LC/[empty-SC]/LC/[empty-SC]/... run collapses into one batch
per region bounded by real content (a building, a StreamMark-worthy
cell, or a genuine emitter) rather than per cell.
F3 - per-frame terrain diagnostic (blocking, build/test). The walk
leaf no longer brackets each batch with TerrainDrawDiagnosticsController
.Begin()/Complete() (a per-batch Stopwatch Restart/Stop pair that was
pushing one timing SAMPLE per batch, not per frame).
RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawWalkLandCellBatch instead times its own
call with a raw Stopwatch.GetTimestamp() delta (no allocation) and
hands the ticks to the controller's new AccumulateWalkBatch;
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawWalkDrivenStatics calls the new
CompleteWalkTerrainFrame() exactly once, immediately after
driver.Replay finishes - "the end of the walk replay", where the
deleted whole-stage terrain leaf's own Begin()/Complete() bracket
used to close - which pushes ONE elapsed-time sample (even a
zero-batch frame pushes a zero sample: one sample per frame, not per
landscape turn) and publishes on the existing 5-second cadence.
TerrainRenderDiagnosticFacts gains a Draws field alongside
VisibleSlots (both were the same field before); TerrainModernRenderer
tracks its own per-frame WalkVisibleSlotCount/WalkDrawCount (a
HashSet<int>/int cleared in BeginFrame, populated by DrawLandCells),
and the diagnostics source reports those whenever the walk drew at
least one batch this frame, falling back to the non-walk Draw()
path's VisibleSlots otherwise (the two paths never both run in the
same frame). The [TERRAIN-DIAG] line's meaning (cpu_us per frame) is
unchanged, so the S3 section 9.5 before/after compare stays valid.
F4 - driver pins for the LandCell position (major). Three RunFrame-
level pins replace the deleted TERRAIN:0 pins: an outdoor-root
sequence (SKY, then one LANDCELL, driving RetailFrameWalk.
DrawLandscape directly with a one-view/zero-vertex WalkPortalView so
WalkLandscape.CheckBlocks' admission stays the same deterministic
"CY-only" test RetailFrameWalkTests already relies on, while still
satisfying WalkFrameDriver's real >=1-active-view fail-loud guard);
an interior-root test with one real exit view and one populated
block (SKY, LANDCELL, LFLUSH, SEALS, SHELL...) built on the existing
RunFrame_InteriorFloodWithExitView_... fixture; and the T4 batching
pin re-expressed for the F2 rule (OnLandCellTurn_
MergesAcrossLandblocksOverAnEmptyParticleTurn_RealSubmissionsSplit,
described above). The fake leaf's DrawLandCellBatch now logs
LANDCELL:<lb>:<side>:<idx>[,...] per batch and gains
HasRenderableEmittersInCell backed by an opt-out CellsWithoutEmitters
set (default true - has-emitters - so every pre-existing pin in the
file keeps its old unconditional-submission behavior unchanged).
F5 - no code change: the walk's in-view gate is unchanged; no
whole-block terrain re-added.
F6 - minor/notes: DrawLandCells' own comment now states the walk's
CheckBlocks/landcell_check admission is the sole terrain culling
authority (retail has no separate terrain frustum test); the
HandleLandscapeTurn comment's inverted claim is corrected (a FARTHER
building's punch survived because NEARER terrain was drawn BEFORE
it, not after - the interleave now draws it after, matching retail);
the "flat/directional-shadow paths" claim is corrected to the one
actual caller, WorldScenePassExecutor.DrawFlatTerrain (a directional-
shadow receiver selects its pipeline inside the SAME DrawRhi call,
not through a second caller); the cathedral order-trace token gains
the LOD side/index (":LC<lb>/<side>:<idx>"); T2's vacuous "no
TERRAIN event" assertion in RetailFrameWalkTests is replaced by a
comment pointing at the F4 driver-level pins; and the stale
"Confirmed OH5 defect" row in oh1-construction-landscape-contract.md
is retired with "FIXED by S3 chunk 3 (commit 671eb3ad4 + fix round
1)".
App hermetic lane: 6,795/6,795 (up from 671eb3ad4's 6,786 baseline -

Ports RenderDeviceD3D::DrawBlock @0x005a17c0's real per-cell order:
loop 1 (@0x005a1876) prepares shadow lists; loop 2 (@0x005a197d)
DrawLandCell(cell) @0x005a19c0 fires ONLY when the cell is in view,
STRICTLY BEFORE DrawSortCell(cell) @0x005a19e6, which fires whenever
alwaysDrawObjects (retail default 1 @0x00820ed4) or the cell is in
view. RetailFrameWalk.DrawLandscape now emits sink.OnLandCellTurn(
landblockId, side, cellIndex) at that exact point, per admitted cell,
before the existing DrawBuilding + OnLandscapeCellTurn (the
DrawSortCell half). WalkFrameDriver records one LandCell frame event
per turn and deletes the whole-stage TerrainSlice(0) emission and the
DrawTerrainSlice leaf outright — drawing all terrain before every
building let a nearer building's far-Z punch survive under farther
terrain drawn afterward, the doorway-behind-a-hill fragment bug from
the owner's G2 Holtburg screenshot; this chunk removes it by ORDER
alone, with no depth-compare change (S4's punch z-func question is
untouched, per the contract).
Index-run arithmetic (S3 §9.1 R3): the terrain mesh is cell-major
(LandblockMesh.Build: cy outer, cx inner, 6 indices/cell, 384/land-
block). A retail LOD cell (side n, LOD coords X,Y) covers cx in
[X*8/n,(X+1)*8/n), cy in [Y*8/n,(Y+1)*8/n) — one contiguous run per
covered cy row: side 8 -> one run of 6, side 4 -> two runs of 12,
side 2 -> four runs of 24; side 1's single coarse cell covers every
row contiguously so its 8 per-row runs collapse into ONE run of all
384 indices. TerrainModernRenderer.AppendCellIndexRuns (pure, no GPU,
no baked table) and DrawLandCellRuns (resolves the landblock's slot,
builds one DrawElementsIndirectCommand per run, reuses the existing
DrawRhi bind-and-submit path) implement this; TerrainModernRenderer
.Draw(...) is untouched and keeps serving non-walk callers (directional-
shadow receivers, the flat terrain path).
Order-preserving batching (S3 §9.2 B2): WalkFrameDriver.Replay merges
consecutive same-landblock LandCell events with no intervening event
into ONE DrawLandCellBatch leaf call; any other event splits the
batch. In production this rarely fires because retail's own
DrawSortCell (AlwaysDrawObjects=true) always interposes an object-
list turn between one cell's LandCell event and the next's — see
perfNote in the task report for the resulting command-count increase.
Deleted as dead: the _walkTerrainInViewLandcells field and
SetWalkTerrainInViewLandcells setter on RetailPViewPassExecutor (fed
only DrawWalkTerrainSlice's inViewLandcells filter, which no longer
exists — the walk's own per-cell CellInView admission is now the
sole terrain-visibility authority) and its two call sites in
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawWalkDrivenStatics.
Weather placement (S3 §9.1 R5): confirmed unchanged. GameSky's
weather pass (RenderWeather, gated on is_player_outside) already
runs after every LandCell event for both root kinds — for an
outdoor root, DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase is called directly after
driver.Replay() completes (which processes the whole per-cell
_events list first); for an interior root with ov>0, it fires via
the LandscapeFlush leaf (RetailPViewRenderer.FlushWalkLandscape ->
_walkPreClearDynamics), and OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn only emits
LandscapeFlush AFTER DrawLandscape's per-cell loop has fully run
and recorded every LandCell event ahead of it in the same _events
list Replay walks in order. No code change needed; verified by
reading the call sites.
Tests: WalkEvents/RetailFrameWalk/WalkFrameDriver's existing pins
updated (every "TERRAIN:0" expectation deleted, matching the deleted
event); new coverage for T1 (WalkLandCellOrderTests — LandWalkOrder +
WalkLandscape.CalcDrawOrder + WalkLandscapeAssembler
.SideCellCountForRing reproduce both cathedral captures' frame-2
LC/SC sequences byte-for-byte, 533/698 arrival and 531/757 leak, cross-
verified against the retail ring-to-LOD table), T2 (a synthetic two-
block landscape with a real WalkVisibilityMath-driven out-of-view
column, proving LC-before-building/statics, far-to-near, no-LC-but-
keeps-SC for the excluded cells, and no TerrainSlice event of any
kind), T3 (TerrainLandCellIndexRunsTests — the index-run arithmetic
for every side/cell, disjoint and exhaustive over the 384-index
landblock), T4 (batching merge/split), and the RetailPViewPassExecutor
CompiledCallGraph pin retargeted at DrawWalkLandCellBatch /
DrawLandCellRuns. WalkOracleTrace gains LC/SC event kinds and a
Load(root, name) overload for the OH capture directory — the one
parser change this chunk needs, no validator, no other infrastructure.
App hermetic lane: 6,786/6,786 (6,765 baseline + 21 new). InstalledDat

fixture-drift tests, 1 TowerAscent Status=KnownFailure) — unchanged

RetailFrameWalk.DrawInside now passes _interiorPView.OutsideView.ViewCount
into IWalkEventSink.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn. WalkFrameDriver's own
implementation reproduces PView::DrawCells @0x005a4840's exact gating
(0x005a4852-0x005a49eb, all inside `if (outside_view.view_count > 0)`):
the landscape flush (retail FlushAlphaList(0f) @0x005a4872 plus the
pre-clear dynamics hook), the device-stamp advance @0x005a4886, a GATED
depth clear (pc:432731-432732), and the exit-portal seals
(pc:432785-432786) — all four skipped entirely when outsideViewCount == 0.
The depth clear is gated on a new driver field, PortalsDrawnCount, which
models retail's D3DPolyRender::portalsDrawnCount (uint16 @0x008719b4):
read-then-zeroed at the interior root's own flood turn
(@0x005a489c-0x005a489e), and re-armed at Replay by the count
IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.DrawExitSeals now returns (the SAME portal
enumeration RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawPortalDepthWrite already performs
— OtherCellId==0xFFFF, >=3 vertices). The field persists across frames
(never cleared by BeginFrame/AbortFrame/EndFrame/Replay), reproducing
retail's documented quirk: a fresh driver's first ov>0 frame never clears;
every later ov>0 frame clears because the previous frame's own seals armed
the counter.
_skyDrawnThisFrame — the proxy for outside_view.view_count != 0 that used
to gate the stamp re-arm — is deleted; its "second Landscape turn in one
frame" fail-loud guard moves to a frame-scoped counter
(_landscapeTurnsThisFrame). RetailPViewRenderer.ClearWalkInteriorDepth
splits into FlushWalkLandscape (pre-clear dynamics + FlushLandscapeAlpha)
and ClearWalkInteriorDepth (the Z clear only), both wired through the new
IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.FlushLandscape leaf and the WalkLeaf production
adapter.
Tests: flipped the ov==0 pin to expect no landscape-flush/clear/seals at
all (T1); added the two-frame first-frame-no-clear / armed-clear pin plus
a no-exit-portal-never-clears pin (T2); added a look-in-neither-arms-
nor-consumes-the-counter pin (T3); added RetailFrameWalk's two-PView
draw_landscape wiring pin and a WalkPView.ConstructView reset pin (T4);
updated every direct OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn caller to pass the
outsideViewCount it models (T5). The four per-category leaf-contract pins
(whole-once shell, Boolean sphere admission, portal-polygon-only clip,
local-player repeated submission) already existed and needed no additions
(B4).

Retail-lens review of chunk 6 (no blocking finding). Fixed:
- a cell that gets two object-list turns in one frame (a chamber reached
through two portals) submitted its emitters twice; retail's particle parts
sit in the same shadow_part_list as every other part and CPhysicsPart::Draw's
frame stamp suppresses the second draw, so the walk now dedupes the particle
turn with the same frame-scoped set that dedupes the cell shell;
- every visited land cell paid the full per-cell draw setup even with no
emitter; DrawForCell now returns after the cell lookup, retail's own cost
(DrawPartCell 0x005a07a0 `num_shadow_parts > 0`);
- CopyRenderableEmittersInCell maintains LastRenderScopeEmitterVisitCount;
- the OutdoorSceneParticleEntityIds / outdoorOwnerIds stub chain (permanently
empty, never read) is deleted through IWorldSceneRenderer,
WorldScenePViewRenderer, IWorldScenePasses and the composition root;
- AD-117 item 4 names the two behavioral residuals (owner-cell substitution;
no per-emission AddPartToShadowCells);
- ParticleHookSinkTests pins that an emitter's draw cell is its owner's pose
cell and survives the projection-visibility switch across the per-frame
view pass.

Owner G2 finding: the purple cloud around an arriving character no longer
drew. The server keeps the player Hidden until acdream sends LoginComplete at
reveal completion (retail-correct); the Hidden-state script's emitters spawn
in the arrival cell and are view-eligible when the world appears, but the
walk drew an owner's emitters only through the owner's registry rows, and a
hidden owner's shadow is suspended. Retail's
CPhysicsObj::add_particle_shadow_to_cell (0x00514a70) gives an emitter one
shadow in its OWN current cell, drawn at that cell's turn regardless of the
parent's hidden state (add_shadows_to_cells 0x00514aed skips the flood for
state & 0x1000).
Port: ParticleSystem keeps a per-pass cell -> renderable-handles index
(maintained at every renderable/OwnerCellId change) and
CopyRenderableEmittersInCell; ParticleRenderer.DrawForCell; the walk draws
particles BY CELL at the existing turns (interior CellParticles, landscape
LandscapeCellParticles), the events fire for every visited cell, and every
owner-union particle path is deleted (UnionOwners/UnionNewOwners for
particles, the outdoor drawn-owner dedupe, the executor's owner
classification sets, the context ParticleOwnerIds members). The post-replay
per-cell pass double-submitted the root flood's emitters and is deleted: an
emitter draws once, at its cell's replay turn. AD-117 item 4 becomes a port
note (the index lives in the particle system; an emitter is not a physics
object in acdream). The temporary [pes-spawn]/[pes-vis] traces are removed
and the ACDREAM_DUMP_PLAYSCRIPT row restored.
Verified: timed arrival route logs/selfgate-20260903-062522-haze-chunk6,

Chunk 5 (consumer cutover): WalkProductionWorldData's per-cell views are
borrowed from ShadowObjectRegistry.GetRetailPartEntriesInCell and resolved
through RenderSceneQuery.TryGetByLocalEntityId; every render-side sweep,
bucket, parent-cell and root-position fallback is deleted (AD-116 for the
one-frame registry→scene window, counted in UnregisteredRenderMembershipCount).
A live entity with visual parts but no collision geometry registers
render-only (LiveEntityCollisionBuilder computes the part array before the
empty-shapes gate).
Closeout fixes found while landing it:
- RefloodOwnerForLandblock forwards the retained part array — a reflood is
retail's recalc_cross_cells over the SAME CPartArray; without it every owner
touched by a landblock replacement commit lost its render membership.
- Non-colliding DAT statics register render-only from BOTH publishers
(LandblockPhysicsPublisher.PublishStaticEntity,
LandblockPhysicsContentBuilder.RegisterRenderOnlyStatic). The G2 self-gate
pixel diff caught them vanishing (Facility Hub wall panels): retail floods
every object regardless of collision (CEnvCell::init_static_objects
0x0052c350, add_shadows_to_cells 0x00514ae0).
- S2 dual review fix batch (arch + retail lens, lead-verified):
Suspend clears the retail product (remove_shadows_from_cells 0x00511230 is
one transaction); AttachChild/DetachChild advance the mutation revision so
a prepared SetPosition cannot clobber a child's rows; an attached child
never floods on its own re-registration; RemoveLandblock and the non-rooted
RetireOwnerFromLandblock prune retail rows (render-only statics end with
their landblock); a render-only owner's no-cell-array commit republishes at
its destination cell (AD-117); an empty non-null part array is treated as
null; per-move closures/LINQ replaced by index loops; EnvCell shells stay
out of the scene's LocalEntityId index (payload-less records); the index
predicate compares the id; the dead per-cell scene indices are deleted.

add_shadows_to_cells in CPhysicsObj::SetPositionInternal @0x00515330

its single removal funnel. WalkProductionWorldData's dynamic sweep reads

WalkProductionWorldData no longer floods; its indoor and outdoor static

calc_cross_cells_static @0x00515160 -> AddPartsShadow @0x00517e40
CELLARRAY, computed once at registration). The App-owned render flood
(ResolveStaticRenderCells, its fingerprint cache, the primitive-Setup

remaining fallback, an entity the physics publisher has not registered yet
while the projection journal already published it, buckets to the authored
parent cell and is counted per frame (UnregisteredStaticRenderFallbackCount)
for chunk 5 to judge on the connected route.
The Facility stair pin now registers at the projection's own entity id
(the old pure-function test never carried identity) and reads the retail

Every production registration now hands ShadowObjectRegistry the object's
whole visual part array beside its collision dispatch: static publication
(App LandblockPhysicsPublisher and the headless Content twin) through
ShadowShapeBuilder.FromStaticRenderParts, live entities (Runtime
LiveEntityCollisionBuilder) through the new FromSetupRenderParts, which walks
every Setup part with the same physics-sphere-else-drawing-sphere and
part-box rule from the PhysicsDataCache Runtime already reaches. Nothing
consumes the retail products yet; the App hermetic lane still passes
6,758/6,758.
The Lane=InstalledDat comparator registers five real fixtures through the
real publication inputs and prints retail CELLARRAY, collision cells, and
the old render cells side by side: Facility Hub stair Setup 0x02000623
(7 cells incl. 0x8A02015F/015E), cathedral ramp 0x020009A2 (3 cells, the
genuine multi-part case), the #334 Neftet formation (25 cells), and a
landblock-edge crosser (6 cells, 2 in the neighbor block). All three

The b3b7d922 investigation checkpoint committed two probe read sites
(ACDREAM_PROBE_CATHEDRAL_SKIP_PUNCH, ACDREAM_PROBE_FACILITY_STAIRS) without
their launch-options rows, and removed the #117/#129 bias from
portal_depth.vert without re-pinning its SPIR-V oracle hash. Both left the
hermetic App lane red at the OVERHAUL v2 base. Rows added (both default-off,
scheduled for deletion in S5); the shader pin now records the binary on the
branch, with S4 named as the owner of its acceptance.

The [dyn-route] trace pinned the through-wall remote player (visible
from 0xF4180101 AND outdoors while parented at 0xF4180112 - a cell
with no retail sightline chain from either): the legacy visibility
builder invents cross-building cell views at the cathedral (REAL
3-5-plane cones for 0x112, not the zero-plane trapdoor), the viewcone
admits his sphere, and he rides the last dynamics pass - post-clear on
interior roots (walls'' depth wiped) and post-world outdoors.
The stage-set split (synthesis plan step 4): an interior-parented
dynamic may ride DynamicLast ONLY when its parent cell is in THE
WALK''S OWN ROOT FLOOD (oracle-trace-conformant; retail draws look-in
occupants inside the landscape stage through the composed portal
chain, and unreachable cells'' occupants not at all). The frame
product''s build input gains RootFloodCells (the driver''s
InteriorFloodCells as a per-frame set); non-walk/diagnostic frames and
the comparison wrapper keep the legacy drawableCells meaning. The
[dyn-route] probe logs the new rootflood-excluded state.

Ports the user-verified #132 invariant (e102fb36 on the old pipeline)
walk-natively, on the owner''s direction: retail''s falls containment
is POSITIONAL - an outdoor emitter''s polys join the ONE alpha list
during its owner cell''s DrawObjCell in the far-to-near landscape walk
(DrawSortCell @0x005a17c0), so every nearer building''s pre-punch
barrier (DrawBuilding @0x0059f2a0''s FlushAlphaList @0x0059f30b)
drains the already-queued FARTHER content against still-true depth
BEFORE its punch stamps far-Z into the aperture. The walk path had
kept the per-building AlphaBarrier events but batched ALL landscape
static-owner submission into one lump at the pre-clear closure - after
every punch had run: the barriers fired over an empty queue and the
falls drained against punched-far aperture pixels (phase=pre in every
probe line, which is why six rounds of phase-staging repairs could
never see it - the phase was right, the position within the phase was
wrong).
New WalkFrameEventKind.StaticParticles: each landscape cell''s and
each building shell''s emitter owners now submit AT THAT TURN during
Replay (marked so the owner''s meshes flush first - retail''s
per-object order); the batched SubmitWalkLandscapeStaticParticles and
its closure/post-replay call sites are deleted for both root kinds.
Two driver sequence pins adjudicated to the new turn order.

The FW3 visual gate's stairwell/grass transition flash (grass briefly
covering floor openings at doorway crossings - the #119 family) was the
FW3 dual path leaking: the walk decided WHETHER terrain draws while the
old PortalVisibilityBuilder assembly decided WHERE (slice planes, count,
scissor), and punch fans indexed the old slice array with walk view
indices. The new ACDREAM_PROBE_WALK_ROOT apparatus pinned the boundary
frames: fat/degenerate old-apparatus exit views splash terrain over
interior pixels, the interior depth-clear preserves color, and cells
absent from the walk's flood never repaint. Retail has ONE visibility
structure and cannot produce this.
ClipFrameAssembler.ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk now materializes the
walk's own outside_view (pixel screen points -> standard NDC -> the
existing ClipPlaneSet machinery) into the assembly's outside-view block
after Collect, ahead of the single PrepareClipFrame publication (moved
below the walk block). The Landscape event carries the walk's active
view count on the record's existing OutsideViewCount field (trace
mapping compares kind only - zero oracle-fixture churn) and the driver
fans exactly that many terrain slices; activeTerrainSliceCount is
deleted end to end. Outdoor roots keep the assembler's single
full-screen slice, asserted ==1.
Hermetic 6,762/0 (4 new materializer tests pin the y-flip and
plane-sign conventions), Walk lane 209/1, InstalledDat walk conformance

The total-fallback assertion pinned ViewerCellId == 0 - the pre-fix

The dense-Arwic re-measure crashed with VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST: between
ordered ranges the walk leaf draws (terrain, shells, sky, punch fans)
and RetailAlphaQueue flushes rebind the SAME set-0 storage slots to
their own sections, so the bind-once latch made the next range draw
against foreign buffers - out-of-bounds instance reads and a GPU
fault. Sections now re-bind on every DrawOrderedRange call, exactly
like the proven DrawPreparedAlphaBatchRhi; the once-per-frame ring
WRITES in PrepareOrderedStream (the actual measured cost) are
unchanged. The bind-once referee test flips to assert per-range
rebinds with unchanged draw coverage.

The FW3.4 dense-Arwic pair triggered the +/-20% stop rule (+33.5% CPU
p50, 14x frame allocation). This slice removes the three measured
costs without changing GPU command order (the referee suites assert
identical recorded call sequences):
- WalkFrameDriver: Collect (ONE walk per frame - no GPU work; leaf
calls and flush points become a recorded event list; the driver
absorbed the renderer collection pass and exposes the visited sets)
+ Replay (prepare the whole stream once, then replay events,
interleaving DrawOrderedRange with leaf calls in the exact recorded
order). RunFrame = Collect+Replay for existing callers.
- WbDrawDispatcher: SubmitOrderedStream split into PrepareOrderedStream
(all sections + commands + merge runs uploaded once per frame) and
DrawOrderedRange (bind-once latch; per-run pipeline + DrawIdOffset +
DrawIndirectRangeRhi). Load-bearing correctness catch from the
implementation round: merge runs take FORCED BREAKS at the recorded
event marks - whole-stream merging must not fuse two segments that
retail separates with a leaf GPU call (shell, punch); the straddle
assert stays as a dead-code safety net.
- WalkProductionWorldData: WalkFrameStaticRecords carries an
ArraySegment into a per-frame grow-only arena; the per-cell
fresh-array copies (the 1.9 MB/frame alloc p50) are gone - zero
steady-state allocation after warmup.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Render::deg_mul is auto-tuned by frame load and SWUNG between oracle
captures: doorway-still ran right after the heavy terrace-edge capture
with the multiplier depressed (mul <= 0 puts thresholds at/below ideal,
so 001e/0026/002f select the portless level 1 - retail's zero look-in
floods, reproduced exactly at mul = 0), while every other fixture pins
~ +0.99 (thresholds at max). The recon session's "-0.99" live dump was
real - taken under the same cdb load. RetailFrameWalk now exposes the
multiplier; the doorway test pins 0, the rest use the default.
foundry-entry: frames 1-66 reproduce exactly; the F67-F79 standing
segment diverges ONLY in building 0036's intra-building DC order
(retail 116,118,11d vs replay 11d,116,118). The BSP-traversal microscope

2.33 (d=+0.47, NEG-first) vs retail behaving as d<0 (POS-first) - a

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

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

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