Construct Slice F's non-drawing scene only for lifecycle automation, drain accepted static and live deltas at the final update boundary, and compare exact current-path fingerprints at cadence and checkpoints. Publish bounded mismatch, journal, index, digest, and memory evidence without changing normal launches or draw submission.
Release: 8,211 passed, 5 skipped.
Maintain packed render worksets as lifecycle deltas arrive and synchronize active animated statics without scanning the resident world. This keeps Slice F non-drawing while preparing exact spatial and feature queries for shadow comparison.
Release: 8,206 passed, 5 skipped.
Append exact static and EnvCell-shell projection deltas only at committed spatial activation and detach receipts. Same-landblock rehydrate now reconciles retained, new, and omitted presentation identities without constructing or drawing the shadow scene in production.

Pin Arch behind acdream-owned identities, deltas, queries, generation gates, and memory diagnostics. The new five-archetype store is unbound and non-drawing so static publication can be shadowed without changing production behavior.

Extend the non-drawing oracle through ordered PView routes, dispatcher visibility and final instance payloads, and accepted retail selection parts. Lifecycle artifacts can now referee the later shadow scene without influencing production visibility or draw decisions.
Capture deterministic, landblock-aware fingerprints from the accepted partition only during lifecycle automation. This gives the F/G shadow scene an independent oracle without changing normal draw decisions or adding disabled-path per-entity cost.
Separate loaded spatial residency from the world presentation gate so destination live objects acquire mesh owners behind portal space while drawing and simulation stay quiesced. Prevent unowned CPU-cache hits from recreating stale GPU staging work.

Retain composite candidate progress across live membership generations and run a stable follow-up pass after churn, preventing ACE object-stream updates from resetting portal readiness forever.

Publish the retail blocking-for-cells edge before deferred recenter work, freeze old-world presentation/simulation/audio, and advance full-window retirement from exact metered entity and owner cursors. This removes synchronous portal teardown without allowing retained owners to remain observable.
Complete Slice D4 by adding aggregate lifecycle occupancy and traffic facts, validating physical source reports, and including decoded audio under the typed startup budget. Exercise every domain under forced pressure and retain the real cache/fence convergence gates.
Complete Slice D3 by replacing the unbounded animation dictionary with a concurrent byte/count LRU and by putting the three retail alpha scratch owners behind one typed aggregate budget. Preserve immediate growth and draw order while reclaiming one-frame density spikes after sustained under-use. Close stale bounds-cache issue evidence without inventing a cache.
Define Slice D's transition and concurrency contract, add generation-safe asset handles and owner leases, and parse the existing cache ceilings through typed runtime budgets. Stale generations cannot release or revive replacements, and worker observations are bounded and coalesced.

Correct whole-frame GPU timestamps so they bracket only the accepted render transaction and associate delayed query results with the owning CPU frame. Add route-wide frame-history summaries, fixed-camera screenshot comparison, process counters, contention traces, a pinned Arwic workload, and credential-safe launch disclosure.
The reference hardware/display contract now keeps local and RDP populations separate and defines the screenshot and re-baseline rules needed by later prepared-content gates.

An adversarial performance review found our own instruments cannot
measure the project's own performance gates:
- FrameProfiler aggregated CPU/GPU/alloc/stage samples into ~5-second
windows and reset the ring buffers after each report, so route-wide
p50/p95/p99 distributions across a whole soak could not be
reconstructed after the fact. ACDREAM_FRAME_HISTORY=<path> now opts
into a separate per-frame history (one record per frame, ~72
bytes/record, accumulated in memory with zero frame-thread I/O) that
a shutdown-only Dispose() writes as CSV. The aggregated [frame-prof]
report format and its existing metrics are unchanged.
- The canonical checkpoint JSON tracked cache residency (entry/byte
counts) but never LOH size/fragmentation, process-wide allocated
bytes, or cache hit/miss/eviction traffic — a committed audit JSON
showed 65% LOH fragmentation that no tracked instrument recorded,
and "does a revisit portal hit or miss the caches" was unanswerable
from an artifact alone. WorldLifecycleResourceSnapshot now carries
loh_size_bytes/loh_fragmentation_bytes (GCMemoryInfo.GenerationInfo
index 3), process_total_allocated_bytes (GC.GetTotalAllocatedBytes),
and Interlocked hit/miss/eviction counters for the CPU mesh cache,
decoded-texture cache, and the four bounded DAT-object caches
(portal/cell/highRes/language, aggregated).
- run-connected-r6-soak.ps1 unconditionally forced
ACDREAM_UNCAPPED_RENDER=1 with no capped mode, while its sibling
lifecycle-gate script correctly gated it behind a switch. Added
-Uncapped (default capped, matching the sibling script's pattern),
fixed the stationary dwell (12s -> 26s, past the 25s
LiveEntityLivenessController deadline the adjacent comment already
cited), and now write an env-disclosure.json into the automation
artifact directory before every launch listing every ACDREAM_* var
the script sets plus -Uncapped, since the prior audit could only see
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOVE_TRUTH and nothing else was ever recorded anywhere.
Cache counters are wired via the existing composition path
(ObjectMeshManager already owns the CPU mesh cache and the mesh
extractor directly; content.Dats is threaded into
WorldLifecycleResourceSnapshotSource the same way every other
composition consumer receives it). The DAT-object cache lives behind
IDatReaderWriter, a third-party interface from the DatReaderWriter
package that cannot be extended; RuntimeDatCollection (the one
production implementation) exposes the aggregate stats directly and a
pattern match reads them, degrading to zero for any test double —
no new static registry was introduced (GpuMemoryTracker remains the
one precedented process-wide static).

(cherry picked from commit 1da2c33c875b41fa383dd79694ee2765f0e21896)
PrepareRenderBatches rebuilt the full EnvCell visibility snapshot every
frame any indoor/building root was resolved: a Parallel.ForEach dispatch
over every GpuReady EnvCell landblock (with per-landblock locks), a fresh
outer dictionary plus one fresh inner dictionary per visible cell, a new
snapshot object, and a complete transparency rescan - all while standing
perfectly still. The NeedsPrepare flag existed since Phase A8 as the
intended rebuild gate but was never read by production code.
This wires the gate on the snapshot's actual inputs:
- landblock commits/removals (the existing NeedsPrepare flag),
- the visible-cell filter (content-compared; the caller reuses one
scratch HashSet across frames),
- the trim window (center/radius),
- mesh render-data availability - new
ObjectMeshManager.RenderDataAvailabilityVersion, bumped at publish,
pending-release hide, release completion, and teardown, because the
snapshot bakes per-cell transparency from TryGetRenderData and a
late-arriving transparent shell must reclassify its cell,
- the camera: eye position under a 1 mm ABSOLUTE epsilon (swallows the
documented ~36 um rest jitter, dirties on any real movement; the VP
translation row scales with AC's ~5e4 world coordinates where a
relative tolerance would mask sub-meter motion) plus rows 1-3 of
view*projection (position-independent rotation x projection) under
relative 1e-5.
Skipping is pool-safe: RenderCore re-anchors _poolIndex to the active
snapshot's PostPreparePoolIndex on every call, so consecutive Renders
without an intervening Prepare reuse scratch lists past the snapshot's
owned region exactly as within-frame passes already do. The empty-filter
branch is now also idempotent instead of allocating a fresh empty
snapshot per frame. Render still receives the current frame's
view-projection every frame (the U.4 stale-matrix rule) - only the
snapshot rebuild is gated.
Pixels must be identical; needs the standard user visual pass (dungeon +
town-near-buildings) before the change is considered accepted.

Move Phase-2 startup behind typed composition/publication boundaries, replace the GameWindow-capturing PhysicsScript gate with a focused deferred source, and own animation-hook registrations reversibly. Make OpenAL construction and teardown transactional so every device, context, source, and buffer prefix is retryable without replay.
Give terrain, sky, retained UI, portal preparation, and the update/render frame pair explicit single owners. Make shader, texture, text, bindless, and GL construction prefixes checked and retryable so partial failure cannot lose or replay resource ownership.

Move camera pointer, framebuffer resize, and retained/devtools input edges behind focused reversible owners. Preserve input priority while making shutdown deactivate callbacks before live-session retirement and retry physical detach without stranding transport teardown.
Move the DAT sky, selected day group, world clock, weather, AdminEnvirons bridge, and debug cycles into a one-shot WorldEnvironmentController while preserving GameWindow's public aliases and accepted startup/session/render order. Correct the named retail citations and register the remaining environment audio and fog/radar gaps.
