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.
Hermetic 6,762/0; InstalledDat walk conformance 40/1.

Five ordering repairs later the cathedral falls still bled, and the
final probe round proved why no ordering fix could ever land it: the
falls now submit pre-clear with depth test LESS - and STILL pass,
because the depth they test against is EMPTY. DrawWalkTerrainSlice
scissored + hardware-clipped the terrain to the walk''s exit-view
polygons, and at the #456 cathedral seam those authored portal polys
are thin BANDS far narrower than the real opening: most of the vista
never received terrain color or depth that frame (the visible scene
there was stale color), so unclipped alpha painted straight across.
Retail''s rule, per the PV campaign''s proven model and LScape::draw:
landscape content is view-CULLED, never view-CLIPPED - terrain blocks
draw whole, once per landscape turn (the views feed only CheckBlocks''
block visibility), and aperture exactness comes from the depth clear +
exit seals + interior repaint that follow in the walk''s own order.
This slice ports that: the driver fans exactly ONE terrain turn
(correcting slice 1''s per-view fan), and an interior root''s terrain
and sky draw unclipped/unscissored; the outdoor root keeps its single
full-screen slice (equivalent by construction). The walk''s views
still own the punch fans and dynamics apertures.
Hermetic 6,762/0.

The cathedral falls shine-through (owner report at the #456 terrace
seam, toggling with the camera''s side of the seam): the probe''s new
phase tags pinned the falls emitters to the cell-owners route
submitting POST-depth-clear on interior roots - retail''s own timing,
safe only because seals own the aperture depth by the end-of-frame
alpha drain. Our seal SET still came from the old apparatus''s flood,
which misses exit portals at the #456 seam band (its never-drawn panel
family), so the drain z-passed across the unsealed opening.
DrawWalkExitPortalMasks now stamps the walk''s own ordered interior
flood (WalkFrameDriver.InteriorFloodCells, captured at
OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn - retail PView::DrawCells pc:432785-432786),
keeping the old assembly''s per-cell slice clips where present and
sealing unclipped where the old apparatus had no entry (benign: the
exact dat aperture polygon, z-tested). The legacy path keeps the old
seal draw. Also: ACDREAM_PROBE_WALK_ROOT gains [walk-part]/[walk-alpha]
phase-tagged submission/drain lines (the apparatus that pinned this).
Hermetic 6,762/0, Walk lane 213/1, InstalledDat walk conformance 40/1.

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
40/1. Seals/cell slices/look-in seeding stay on the old per-cell views
for the rest of FW4 (identical dat polygons; only the visible set can
differ).

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.

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 ->
IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.DrawPunchFan.
- The FW3.2b-2 rooting design is recorded in the plan (dual-compute
split, LookInObject route filtered to dynamics, consumer
re-pointing, gate list).

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.
Flagged for FW3.2b-2/FW4 adjudication (documented in code):
FlushFartherThan(building distance) vs retail flush-all
FlushAlphaList(0f); terrain-before-statics within the landscape turn.
Suites: full Release build 0 warnings; Walk lane 200/1 skip;
InstalledDat Walk conformance 40/1 untouched; hermetic 6,752/0.
