The retail server-directed-movement brain (0x00529010-0x0052a987),
Core-only with every App dependency as a ctor/property seam for the
V4/V5 cutovers: node-plan builders for all four movement types
(TurnToObject's desired-heading clobber quirk VERBATIM; TurnToHeading's
immediate BeginNextNode - ACE's one-tick-late gap not copied),
PerformMovement (cancel 0x36 + unstick first), BeginNextNode with the
sticky handoff order (radius/height/tlid read BEFORE CleanUp),
BeginMoveForward (GetCommand walk/run cascade + stored-params
write-back + progress-clock seed), HandleMoveToPosition (chase arrival
dist <= distance_to_object per the adjudicated BN inversion; fail
distance -> 0x3D; progress >= 0.25 units/s over >= 1 s, incremental AND
overall; fail_progress_count write-only - retail has NO give-up
threshold and none was invented), HandleTurnToHeading (20/340 aux
deadband; the Ghidra-confirmed heading_diff mirror), HandleUpdateTarget
0x0052a7d0 (deferred-start: object moves wait for the first Ok
callback; retargets reset the progress clock without requeueing),
UseTime's initialized gate, InitializeLocalVariables per retail (flags
word + context_id zeroed, floats stale, FLT_MAX resets - not ACE's
transpositions).
TDD catch: default(Quaternion) is the ZERO quaternion, not identity -
a fresh manager's heading computations would silently read 90 degrees;
explicit IdentityPosition resets match the decomp's identity-Frame
semantics. Also pinned: retail's explicit double adjust_motion in
_DoMotion/_StopMotion; entry points never drain pending_actions (only
PerformMovement's cancel does) - re-issues must route through
PerformMovement, documented + tested.
101 new conformance tests incl. three end-to-end scripted drives
(chase turn->run->walk-demote->arrive; flee; frozen-heading
TurnToObject through retarget). Full suite: 3,961 passed.
Implemented by a dedicated agent against the V0-pinned spec; scope +

MovementParameters gains the verbatim selection family:
GetCommand 0x0052aa00 (the walk-vs-run cascade INCLUDING the CanCharge
0x10 fast-path ACE dropped - retail's default can_charge=false + the
fast-path present, the A13+A15 canceling-pair trap avoided; inclusive
threshold edge per the raw), TowardsAndAway, GetDesiredHeading per the
live Ghidra decompile (fwd-towards 0 / fwd-away 180 / back-towards 180
/ back-away 0), FromWire/FromWireTurnTo (UnPackNet semantics, all 18 A4
masks round-tripped).
New MoveToMath: HeadingDiff per the live Ghidra decompile of 0x00528fb0
(the 360-diff NOT-TurnRight mirror + F_EPSILON 0.000199999995f - the
BN "arg unused" artifact corrected), HeadingGreater (the visible
TurnRight idiom), PositionHeading/Get/SetHeading reusing the codebase's
single yaw-heading convention (P5), CylinderDistance (PDB arg order;
planar-minus-radii shape documented as the interpretation - the raw's
x87 body is garbled; seam noted).
MovementType gains Invalid + retail 6/7/8/9; MovementStruct widened
(ObjectId/TopLevelId/Pos/Radius/Height/Params, additive); WeenieError
+= 0x0B/0x36/0x37/0x38/0x3D with retail-meaning doc comments.

User live report (the R3 visual pass): pressing W stopped the local
player instantly (retail observers saw run + rubber-band back — our AP
never moved); S/strafe appeared to work. The edge tracer + a
harness-with-echo repro converged on the funnel:
ApplyInterpretedMovement live-read InterpretedState.ForwardCommand
AFTER the style dispatch. The style dispatch SUCCEEDS against the real
MotionTableDispatchSink (GetObjectSequence Branch 1 style==target →
success — verified in the raw @298636), which gates the
ModifyInterpretedState write → InterpretedMotionState::ApplyMotion's
style branch resets forward_command to Ready UNCONDITIONALLY (raw
0051ea6c — our port is verbatim). Retail SELF-HEALS: its compiled
apply pass reads the axis fields into registers BEFORE the style call,
so the fwd dispatch re-applies the pre-reset command and the field
recovers within the pass — proven by our own 183-case live-retail
observer trace (the fwd dispatch carries the wire's RunForward after
the style dispatch on the same UM). The BN pseudo-C's apparent
post-style field reads at 0x528687 are decompiler rendering of hoisted
registers — the same artifact class as the A1 polarity inversion.
Under the live-field read, every apply pass (the ~10Hz ACE UM echo via
ApplyServerRunRate included) dispatched Ready and left the field
permanently Ready; the controller's per-frame get_state_velocity then
zeroed the body. The 183-case suite could not catch it: its
RecordingSink's return value doesn't mirror the real sink's
style-success, so the resetting state-write never ran under test.
Fix: entry-cache fwd/sidestep/turn commands+speeds (and the my_run_rate
read) before the style dispatch — restoring the S2a funnel's original
semantics through the W5 merge.
3 new regression tests bind the REAL sink over a real sequencer
(the masked condition): a full apply pass self-heals forward; 2 seconds
of held-W with echo cadence covers meters not centimeters; Shift
walk↔run toggling survives mid-transition echoes. Full suite: 3,734
passed. Temp diagnostics removed.

The local player now drives the SAME pipeline remotes use. The
controller's per-frame RawMotionState rebuild (level-triggered D6.2) is
replaced by retail's CommandInterpreter altitude: key EDGES fire
DoMotion/StopMotion (0x00528d20/0x00528530) and the Shift edge fires
set_hold_run (0x00528b70, caller-0x006b33ca shape) — the interpreter's
own RawState mutates via ApplyMotion/RemoveMotion and every dispatch
routes the funnel + DefaultSink into the sequencer. GameWindow's
UpdatePlayerAnimation (169 lines) is DELETED with both
LocalAnimationCommand/LocalAnimationSpeed MovementResult fields and all
three synthesis sites (K-fix5 pacing, Walk→Run cycle selection, the
auto-walk overrides): run pacing now comes from apply_run_to_command's
my_run_rate promotion — the same source remotes use; airborne-Falling
falls out of contact_allows_move (the funnel's second dispatch).
Auto-walk's #69 turn-phase legs re-expressed as DoMotion(Turn*) edges;
teleport idle = StopCompletely (retail's full stop) + an edge-tracker
reset so held keys walk straight out of a portal.
Map discovery R1 fixed: ChargeJump() now fires at charge START (the
0x0056afac input-boundary site) — StandingLongJump had NEVER armed in
production despite the W3 port.
TWO root-cause fixes the cutover surfaced (each would have been
invisible under the old synthesis layer):
- CurrentHoldKey was a shadow FIELD synced only on the raw dispatch
branch; set_hold_run writes RawState.CurrentHoldKey, so an edge-driven
Shift toggle followed by DoMotion read a stale None and lost the run
promotion. Now an alias of RawState.CurrentHoldKey (retail's
adjust_motion reads raw_state.current_holdkey directly).
- The controller's grounded velocity + jump-launch writes used
set_local_velocity's default autonomous:false, silently clearing
LastMoveWasAutonomous and flipping the A3 dual dispatch to the
interpreted branch for the local player. Both marked autonomous.
EXPECTED-DIFFS (map §6, for the R3 visual pass): #45's 1.248x sidestep
factor + ACDREAM_ANIM_SPEED_SCALE died with UpdatePlayerAnimation —
local sidestep pacing now matches how remotes have always played;
auto-walk-at-run plays walk-pace legs until R4; ApplyServerRunRate's
apply_current_movement goes live (Branch-2 fast re-speed absorbs the
echo — retail's own mid-run speed-change mechanism).
Wire: outbound values stay input-derived (the L.2b-verified byte
stream untouched; RawState-sourcing needs the map §2b cdb TODO and R7
owns outbound). MotionStateChanged = the old comparison minus the dead
localAnimCmd leg, OR any edge fired.
Full suite green: 3,731 passed. Live smoke: in-world, user-driven
input through the new path (walk/turn/strafe), 12k entities, zero
exceptions.

The two parallel DoInterpretedMotion implementations MERGE into one
verbatim pair (0x00528360/@305639): contact gate, StandingLongJump
state-only branch, Dead → RemoveLinkAnimations, the jump_error_code
double-check WITH the DisableJumpDuringLink 0x20000 leg (W2's TODO(W5)
resolved — MovementParameters now flows), ModifyInterpretedState
gating, CurCell-null tail, AddToQueue with the real ContextId;
StopInterpretedMotion's post-stop Ready node + raw-mirror RemoveMotion.
Legacy overloads + ApplyMotionToInterpretedState DELETED. The funnel's
public surface unchanged (183-case suite compiles + passes as-is).
DoMotion 0x00528d20 verbatim: cancel_moveto interrupt; SetHoldKey(key,
cancelMoveToBit) BEFORE adjust_motion; params re-default for the
interpreted call; combat-stance gates on the ORIGINAL id (Crouch/Sit/
Sleep → 0x3f/0x40/0x41; & 0x2000000 → 0x42 outside NonCombat); action
depth cap ≥6 → 0x45; raw mirror ORIGINAL id. StopMotion 0x00528530
mirror shape. StopCompletely 0x00527e40 with the A9 snapshot quirk
(motion_allows_jump on the OLD forward command, stashed in the queued
node) + the J9 fix (sidestep/turn SPEEDS untouched — the 1.0 resets
were a divergence). PerformMovement flushes zero-tick completions after
every dispatched op via the new CheckForCompletedMotions seam
(0x0050fe30) — bound App-side per entity (remotes via
EnsureRemoteMotionBindings, player at the sequencer bind site).
PORT DISCOVERY (not in the W0 pins): retail's DoInterpretedMotion
RESULT gates both add_to_queue AND the state write — a void sink let
the style dispatch's apply-only failure clobber ForwardCommand before
the forward axis read it, regressing 74/183 live-trace cases.
IInterpretedMotionSink.ApplyMotion/StopMotion now return bool
(documented on the interface with the raw anchors); one funnel
assertion corrected with raw-line citations (airborne ForwardCommand
ends at Falling under the fully-wired verbatim algorithm).
62 new gate-table tests. Full suite: 3,729 passed.

Core (dedicated agent, independently reviewed): HitGround 0x00528ac0 /
LeaveGround 0x00528b00 verbatim (creature+gravity gates, the
RemoveLinkAnimations seam — K-fix18's retail mechanism — velocity via
GetLeaveGroundVelocity with the autonomous flag, jump-state resets,
apply_current_movement re-sync); enter_default_state 0x00528c80 per A8
(fresh states, InitializeMotionTables seam, sentinel APPENDED without
draining pending_motions — pinned, Initted=1, LeaveGround tail);
Initted gates; the A3 IsThePlayer dual dispatch in
apply_current_movement / ReportExhaustion / SetWeenieObject /
SetPhysicsObject (a remote player routes INTERPRETED — the
ACE-divergence pin); set_hold_run 0x00528b70 + SetHoldKey 0x00528bb0
(XOR guard, None-only-from-Run); adjust_motion creature guard wired
(TS-34 retired); PhysicsBody.LastMoveWasAutonomous +
set_local_velocity(autonomous). Port discovery: retail's
apply_raw_movement 0x005287e0 / apply_interpreted_movement 0x00528600
ARE the already-shipped D6.2a/funnel functions — the dual dispatch
composes them instead of duplicating.
App cutover (orchestrator): the skipTransitionLink flag + both K-fix18
call sites DELETED (AP-74 retired). MotionInterpreter.DefaultSink routes
apply_current_movement's interpreted branch through the REAL funnel
dispatch when a sink is bound — so a remote's LeaveGround engages
Falling via the contact-gated funnel, replacing the forced SetCycle
(J19); the per-remote MotionTableDispatchSink is now PERSISTENT
(EnsureRemoteMotionBindings: DefaultSink + RemoveLinkAnimations +
InitializeMotionTables seams, idempotent from both the UM and
VectorUpdate paths; wire velocity re-applied after LeaveGround so it
stays authoritative). Player: seams bound to the player sequencer; the
controller's grounded→airborne EDGE now fires LeaveGround (jump()
clears OnWalkable and the same frame's transition detection fires it —
retail's order; walk-off-a-ledge gets the momentum fallback + link
strip it never had); the manual jump-block LeaveGround deleted;
LastMoveWasAutonomous set at the controller chokepoint (W6 refines).
Trace S8 re-expressed as the retail mechanism (Falling dispatch +
RemoveAllLinkAnimations = same final state the flag produced). 43 new
lifecycle tests. Registers: TS-34 + AP-74 retired; TS-38, AP-77, AP-78
added. Full suite: 3,665 passed. Live smoke: in-world clean.

JumpChargeIsAllowed 0x00527a50 (CanJump→0x49 before posture; Fallen +
Crouch..Sleeping→0x48), ChargeJump 0x005281c0 — now the ONLY place
standing_longjump arms (grounded Contact+OnWalkable + forward Ready +
no sidestep/turn, raw @305453-305466); the S2a-flagged side effect
inside contact_allows_move is DELETED (J6) with regression pins that
contact checks never touch the flag (the funnel's StandingLongJump
branch is local-player scope; the controller wires ChargeJump in W4/W6
— remotes never charge client-side, no interim regression).
jump_is_allowed 0x005282b0 full chain replaces the 15-line
approximation: IsFullyConstrained→0x47 (new PhysicsBody stub, TS-35)
BEFORE the pending-head peek (A2 ordering, pinned); head peek fires
whenever the queue is non-empty (no ACE Count>1 gate; nonzero
jump_error_code short-circuits the whole chain — test proves
JumpStaminaCost is never consulted); retail entry shape verbatim
(non-creature-weenie and gravity-off skip the ground gate; null
physics obj → 0x24 NOT 8 per A10); charge → MotionAllowsJump(fwd)
double-check → JumpStaminaCost gate (new IWeenieObject member,
always-affordable PlayerWeenie stub — TS-5 extended).
GetJumpVZ/GetLeaveGroundVelocity: epsilon corrected to retail's
0.000199999995f (was 0.001 — regression-pinned at extent 0.0005);
A5 shape (clamp 1.0, weenie-null 10.0f); A6 momentum fallback fires
only when ALL THREE components are sub-epsilon and overwrites all
three with global→local(m_velocityVector).
Jump 0x00528780: InterruptCurrentMovement no-op seam (TS-36, →R4
cancel_moveto), fires unconditionally; standing_longjump cleared ONLY
on failure (success keeps it — pinned). IWeenieObject.IsThePlayer()
(PlayerWeenie true) lands for W4's A3 dispatch.
51 new tests + 1 re-pin; superseded pre-W3 jump tests removed. Full

MotionInterpreter implements IMotionDoneSink: pending_motions
(LinkedList<MotionNode>, AD-34 wording) + add_to_queue 0x00527b80 +
motions_pending 0x00527fe0 + MotionDone 0x00527ec0 verbatim (action-class
head → UnstickFromObject no-op seam (→R5 StickyManager) + BOTH states'
action-FIFO pops; head popped UNCONDITIONALLY — A7: never match-by-id,
params unread in this build) + HandleExitWorld 0x00527f30 (the raw
decompile's null-physics-obj branch would infinite-loop if translated
literally — adjudicated as retail dead code, documented on the method) +
is_standing_still 0x00527fa0 + MotionAllowsJump 0x005279e0 with the
A1-pinned literal blocklist (28-case boundary table test: Fallen blocks,
Falling passes — ACE's transposition NOT copied).
Queue producers wired into the funnel per the decomp anchors
(re-verified from the raw text): DispatchInterpretedMotion's success
path computes jump_error_code via retail's double-check shape
(motion_allows_jump(motion), then forward_command when non-action;
the DisableJumpDuringLink params leg is TODO(W5) — no MovementParameters
threaded yet) + add_to_queue; apply_interpreted_movement's turn-stop
re-queues the Ready node (@305766-305785 — the plan's producer #2 and #3
are the SAME site; StopInterpretedMotion's internal add_to_queue @305657
is W5 scope). ContextId=0 with TODO(W5): retail's own compiled code
reads an UNINITIALIZED local for it at this call site.
GameWindow: MotionDoneTarget now binds the entity's REAL consumer —
player via PlayerMovementController.Motion (new internal property),
remotes via RemoteMotion.Motion — resolved AT FIRE TIME (a remote's
RemoteMotion can be created after its first anim tick; an eager capture
would drop completions forever). Despawn runs BOTH layers' exit-world
drains (manager then interp) per §4. AD-36 narrowed (consumed for
creature-class; doors/statics recorder-only until R5).
51 new conformance cases incl. the end-to-end chain test:
MotionTableManager.AnimationDone → sink → interp pending head pops in
step. 183-case observer-trace + funnel suites green unchanged (queue
side effects additive). Full suite: 3,582 passed.

InterpretedMotionState + the unified RawMotionState (LegacyRawMotionState
folded away) gain retail's action FIFO + ApplyMotion/RemoveMotion, ported
verbatim from the raw named decomp (0x0051e790/0x0051eb60 region, pc
293252-293703) including two genuine retail quirks pinned by tests and
independently re-verified against the raw text before commit:
- RawMotionState::ApplyMotion's RunForward (0x44000007) dead branch — a
cycle-class apply of literal RunForward writes NOTHING (retail encodes
run as WalkForward + HoldKey_Run on the raw state; same family as the
D6 apply_run_to_command early-return).
- InterpretedMotionState::RemoveMotion's exact-match-only TurnRight/
SideStepRight handling (left variants fall through to the style/
forward branches).
MovementParameters verbatim (A4 pin): 18 named flags per the absolute
mask table, ctor = 0x1EE0F expansion + distance_to_object 0.6 /
fail_distance FLT_MAX / speed 1 / walk_run_threshhold 15 / hold_key
Invalid — with the two ACE-divergence traps ported RETAIL-side
(can_charge FALSE where ACE defaults true; threshold 15.0 not 1.0).
MotionNode {ContextId, Motion, JumpErrorCode} (acclient.h:53293) — the
pending_motions node W2 consumes.
WeenieError renumbered to retail's numeric semantics (A10 table):
NotGrounded=0x24, GeneralMovementFailure 0x24→0x47, new 0x3f/0x40/0x41
combat-stance rejects + 0x42 chat-emote + 0x45 action-depth; the
airborne jump/action returns corrected 0x48→0x24 per the A10 sweep
(incl. jump_is_allowed's null-physics-obj 0x24-not-8 divergence from
ACE). Codes are local-only — wire untouched.
Outbound packer proof: RawMotionStatePacker unmodified; all 6
golden-byte RawMotionStatePackTests pass unmodified. TS-24 register row
updated (capability landed; outbound wiring still open).
Implemented by a dedicated agent against the W0-pinned spec; quirks,

The funnel's retail-ordered dispatches now go directly into the entity's
motion-table stack via Motion/MotionTableDispatchSink (Core):
ApplyMotion → PerformMovement(InterpretedCommand), StopMotion →
PerformMovement(StopInterpretedCommand). No axis collection, no
single-cycle priority pick, no Commit pass, no HasCycle probe, no
Run→Walk→Ready fallback chain — GetObjectSequence 0x00522860 +
is_allowed decide (closes H4, H5-callers, H11-callers, H15, H17-carry).
Run-while-turning now blends for real: the turn is a Branch-4 modifier
combined over the untouched run substate (AP-73 DELETED from the
register).
AnimationSequencer gains the public PerformMovement passthrough (lazy
initialize_state + locomotion velocity synthesis on success — AP-75;
remote body translation via PositionManager.ComputeOffset depends on
CurrentVelocity) and InitializeState(); HasCycle DELETED (the miss
hazard is structurally gone — GetObjectSequence checks the cycle before
any surgery; new conformance test pins sequence+state untouched on a
miss).
GameWindow: sink swap with the TurnApplied/TurnStopped ObservedOmega
callbacks (H17 carried verbatim — register AP-76, retire R6); spawn +
door sites run retail's enter-world order (initialize_state installs
the table default, the wire's initial motion dispatches unguarded — the
L.1c fallback chains deleted); despawn drains the pending queue via
HandleExitWorld (MotionDone success:false per entry, 0x0051bda0).
5 new MotionTableDispatchSink conformance tests (lazy init, Branch-4
turn blend + callback, Case-B stop unwind, Case-A stop re-drive,
miss no-op). Full suite green: 3,462 passed.
Live smoke vs ACE: in-world, NPC emote/Ready UMs dispatching through
the new path, [MOTIONDONE] completions firing across entities — first
live proof of the Q3→Q4→Q5 chain. Zero exceptions.
Registers: AP-73 deleted; AP-76 added.

AnimationSequencer becomes a thin shim over the verbatim R2 stack:
SetCycle dispatches the style change (Branch 1) then the motion (Branch
2/3/4) through MotionTableManager.PerformMovement; PlayAction is the
same dispatch (actions rebuild via Branch 3; modifiers are Branch 4
physics-only combine_motion — the AP-73 turn-blend mechanism now runs
for real). CurrentStyle/CurrentMotion/CurrentSpeedMod are read-only
mirrors of MotionState (post-adjust_motion, signed mod). Lazy
initialize_state on first drive (retail lazy-create analog) keeps
undriven sequencers do-nothing.
DELETED legacy inventions (net -648 lines): the adapter fast-path
(replaced by Branch-2 fast re-speed: change_cycle_speed +
subtract/combine_motion), Fix B + IsLocomotionCycleLowByte (replaced by
remove_redundant_links on the pending queue — the retail mechanism the
2026-05-03 cdb trace pointed at), the stop-anim low-byte fallback
(replaced by get_link's reversed-key double-hop — retail's actual
backward-walk settle plays the windup link REVERSED), GetLink/BuildNode/
EnqueueMotionData + the G17 HasVelocity/HasOmega gate (add_motion sets
unconditionally), MultiplyCyclicFramerate + the G13 composite,
PlayAction's insert-before-tail machinery, SCFAST/SCFULL diagnostics.
KEPT at the adapter (register rows): the boundary adjust_motion remap +
locomotion velocity/omega synthesis (AP-75, retire R3-W6/R6), K-fix18
skip-link as post-dispatch RemoveAllLinkAnimations (AP-74, retire
R3-W4 when LeaveGround fires it).
GameWindow queue-drain wiring (the §4 G6 seam): each drained AnimDone
hook → manager.AnimationDone(true) (retail AnimDoneHook::Execute
0x00526c20 → Hook_AnimDone 0x0050fda0 chain), UseTime once per tick
(0x00517d57/0x00517d67); IMotionDoneSink bound to an
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION recorder (AD-36 — R3 rebinds to
MotionInterpreter.MotionDone).
Conformance: the 11-scenario pre-cutover trace suite (a6235a36) replays
green with six EXPECTED-DIFF annotations (double-hop walk-run routing,
reversed settle links, Branch-4 physics-only modifiers, Branch-1
style-change links, post-adjust mirrors) — everything unannotated is
byte-identical. Legacy suites repaired by a dedicated agent (fixtures
gain the retail-mandatory StyleDefaults + class-bit-tagged ids;
reflection state-poking replaced with real dispatch; zero category-D
regressions — the suspected cursor bug was a fixture class-bit gap),
plus two vacuously-passing tests fixed. Register: stale IA-4 deleted
(R1-P1 ported the negative-factor swap).
Full suite green: 3,458 passed (374+425+713+1946).
Closes H6, H7, H8, H9, H10-adapter, H16-wiring (r2-port-plan.md §3 Q4).

11 scripted scenarios (spawn idle, idle→walk link, walk→run cyclic-to-
cyclic, fast re-speed, backward-walk remap, stop-settle fallback, emote
action, K-fix18 skip-link, turn modifier, style change, link-drain
sentinel count) snapshotting the CSequence core's list state after every
SetCycle/PlayAction against the LEGACY adapter (fast-path + Fix B +
stop-anim fallback + G17 gate). These are the parity bar for the Q4
PerformMovement cutover — intentional post-cutover changes get
EXPECTED-DIFF annotations, everything else must stay byte-identical.
Notable pre-cutover behavior captured: the S6 link-before-link stacking
(old reversed link kept mid-drain while the settle link appends behind).
Adds the internal AnimationSequencer.Core test seam.

Ports retail's MotionTableManager (0x0051bxxx; r2-motiontable-decomp.md
§11) above the Q2 CMotionTable: add_to_queue 0x0051bfe0 (append +
immediate collapse), remove_redundant_links 0x0051bf20 (TAIL-ANCHORED
single scan, NOT ACE's restructured loop — cycle-tail block mask
0xb0000000 = STYLE|MODIFIER|ACTION, style-tail 0x70000000 =
CYCLE|MODIFIER|ACTION; the decomp's prose gloss of those masks was
imprecise, the literal constants are ported), truncate_animation_list
0x0051bca0 (zero NumAnims IN PLACE from the tail through the matched
node's successor + CSequence.RemoveLinkAnimations), AnimationDone
0x0051bce0 (counter-driven countdown chain: one call can pop MULTIPLE
entries; action-class pops MotionState's action FIFO; drained-list
counter reset), CheckForCompletedMotions 0x0051be00 / UseTime (zero-tick
sweep, success hardcoded true), initialize_state 0x0051c030 (0x41000003
sentinel), HandleEnterWorld/HandleExitWorld drains (MotionDone
success:false; enter also strips link anims), PerformMovement 0x0051c0b0
(error codes 7 / 0x43 / 0; StopCompletely queues the Ready sentinel
UNCONDITIONALLY).
IMotionDoneSink is the R2 seam standing in for CPhysicsObj::MotionDone —
R3 binds MotionInterpreter.MotionDone (r2-port-plan.md §4 contract).
This queue + remove_redundant_links IS the retail mechanism our old
'Fix B' rapid-motion collapse approximated — Q4 deletes Fix B and routes
SetCycle/PlayAction through PerformMovement.
47 conformance tests: countdown-chain tables, truncate blocked/allowed
matrices for both masks, zero-tick vs counter sweep, world drains, the
walk-run-walk-run collapse trace, the 2026-05-03 walk-to-run golden
(both nodes queued, truncate not firing), PerformMovement error matrix.
Register: AD-34 extended (pending_animations managed LinkedList);
AD-35 added (NotHandled sentinel vs retail's dead-code pointer-leak
default case).
Implemented by a dedicated agent against the committed Q3 spec; diff

(add_modifier_no_check 0x00525ff0; add_modifier 0x00526340 refusing
duplicates AND the current base substate; remove_modifier by node;
clear_modifiers) and action TAIL-APPEND FIFO (add_action 0x005260a0;
remove_action_head 0x00526120 returning the popped motion, 0 when
empty; clear_actions). Deep-copy ctor clones both chains (Q0-pins
A4-#5: re_modify's snapshot is a termination bound, never shared).
11 discipline-table tests. Next: Q2 (CMotionTable + free functions —
the GetObjectSequence dispatcher).

- Advance(dt, Frame? rootMotionFrame) overload: retail's actual root-
motion contract (CSequence::update(quantum, Frame*) 0x00525b80) —
every crossed frame's pos_frame combines into the caller's Frame plus
the sequence velocity/omega via apply_physics. This is the seam R6's
retail per-tick order (CPartArray.Update -> adjust_offset ->
Frame.combine) consumes.
- DELETED: ConsumeRootMotionDelta + the dead adapter accumulator fields
(zero external callers; gap-map API-migration table).
- Root-motion test now asserts REAL accumulation through the wired
Frame path (replaces the P5 inert-stub pin).
- Phase R plan: R1 stage marked SHIPPED with its commit trail.
Full suite green (3346). R1 done: P0 research/pins -> P1 node -> P2
container -> P3 physics -> P4 advance core -> P5 adapter cutover ->
P6 wiring. Next: R2 (GetObjectSequence + MotionTableManager; extraction
workflow already running).

The adapter keeps its full public surface (every consumer compiles
unchanged) while the internals move to Motion.CSequence:
DELETED (legacy invented mechanisms, per the R1 gap map + Phase R
mandate): the AnimNode class + adapter queue/_currNode/_firstCyclic/
_framePosition, the ACE-fabricated FrameEpsilon boundary math, the
safety=64 advance cap, ClearCyclicTail surgery, the stale-head
_currNode relocation block, per-node IsLooping/Velocity/Omega, the
adapter-side AdvanceToNextAnimation/ApplyPosFrame/ExecuteHooks, the
per-node !IsLooping AnimationDone gate (now the core's list-structure
head != first_cyclic gate, G5).
REHOSTED: SetCycle rebuild = RemoveCyclicAnims (+ClearAnimations for
K-fix18) + retail add_motion appends (framerate-only AnimData scaling,
G10 loop membership: the LAST appended node is the cyclic tail) + Fix B
via RemoveAllLinkAnimations (the core's snap-forward IS Fix B's
behavior); Advance = core.Update(dt, null) with hooks flowing through
an IAnimHookQueue adapter into the existing ConsumePendingHooks drain;
fast path = core.MultiplyCyclicAnimationFramerate + the adapter-level
velocity rescale (R2's change_cycle_speed composite stand-in, G13).
Kept byte-identical: adjust_motion remap, GetLink + stop-anim fallback,
K-fix18, velocity synthesis, SlerpRetailClient, the #61 render-side
clamp, SCFAST/SCFULL diagnostics.
Tests: 2 updated with decomp citations — the reverse-start boundary now
pins retail's bare-int HighFrame+1 (0x00525c80, no epsilon, G1); the
root-motion accumulation test pins the inert-stub state pending P6's
Frame wiring (G7). All 44 sequencer tests + the 56 core tests + full
suite green (3346).
Implemented by a dedicated agent against the P5 spec; diff + tests
reviewed, suite re-verified before commit.

The CSequence frame-advance core (gaps G3/G4/G5/G6/G8/G9/G19),
ACE-verified skeleton + retail constants + the P0-pinned leftover carry:
- update_internal (0x005255d0): frame_number += framerate*dt; overshoot
clamps to the RAW high/low frame with leftover-time computation +
animDone; the pose/physics/hook triple fires for EVERY crossed integer
frame (ascending fwd / descending rev, strict > < boundaries, NO
epsilon, NO safety cap); AnimDone is a LIST-STRUCTURE gate (head !=
first_cyclic) queuing the global AnimDoneHook; iterative loop carries
the leftover into the next node (P0 pin — a lag spike fast-forwards
through multiple queued nodes in one tick).
- advance_to_next_animation (0x005252b0): four pose ops per transition
(subtract1 outgoing @ current frame + residual physics; step — fwd
wraps to first_cyclic, REVERSE wraps to the LIST TAIL, asymmetric by
design; reseed from the incoming direction-aware boundary; combine
incoming + physics). Pose ops run in BOTH directions — ACE's
framerate-sign gates are ACE-isms, decomp is unconditional modulo the
degenerate-framerate guard.
- update (0x00525b80): non-empty -> update_internal + apricot; empty +
frame -> accumulated-physics free motion (G8).
- execute_hooks (0x00524830): direction filter (Both or match) QUEUING
into the IAnimHookQueue host seam (stands in for CPhysicsObj.anim_hooks
+ the AnimDoneHook singleton; drain placement moves in R6). Null part
frame guarded (documented safe divergence vs retail's latent deref).
- FrameOps.Combine/Subtract1: the AFrame pose composition (verified
math from the pre-R1 port, now against DatReaderWriter Frame).
10 conformance tests: single-tick goldens, exact-integer boundary
sit (the old #61 flash class), cyclic wrap without AnimDone,
link->cycle fast-forward proving hook order (link hooks -> ANIMDONE ->
cycle hooks) AND the carry, reverse descending hooks with the OOB
high+1 start, reverse tail-wrap, zero-framerate physics-only,
empty-list free motion, pos-frame root motion into the caller Frame,
apricot trim via update. Full suite 3346 green.
R1 remaining: P5 (adapter cutover — AnimationSequencer rehosted on the
core, legacy epsilon/stale-head/safety-cap DELETED) + P6 (root-motion
wiring + API narrowing).

CSequence (Core/Physics/Motion): anim-node list with retail's exact
cursor semantics —
- append_animation (0x00525510): first_cyclic slides to the JUST-
APPENDED node on EVERY call (the cyclic tail is always the last
appended node); curr_anim seeds to head + get_starting_frame only
when null; unresolvable anims discarded (G10);
- remove_cyclic_anims (0x00524e40): removed curr_anim snaps BACK to
prev at get_ending_frame (or 0.0); first_cyclic = new tail;
- remove_link_animations/remove_all_link_animations (0x00524be0/
0x00524ca0): removed curr_anim snaps FORWARD to first_cyclic at
get_starting_frame (G11);
- apricot (0x00524b40, PDB-verified retail name): consumed-head trim
bounded by curr_anim AND first_cyclic;
- clear (0x005255b0) resets placement fields too — raw body is
authority over the gap map's G20 note;
- sequence-level velocity/omega with set/combine/subtract (G12);
- multiply_cyclic_animation_fr touches framerates ONLY (G13 —
velocity rescale belongs to R2's change_cycle_speed composite);
- placement frame family + floored accessors (G14).
Register: AD-33 (double vs x87 long double frame_number, G15),
AD-34 (managed LinkedList vs intrusive DLList).
17 list-surgery state-table tests; 39 total R1 tests green.

Port the inbound funnel verbatim into MotionInterpreter:
- MoveToInterpretedState (0x005289c0): raw-state style adopt, FLAT
copy_movement_from overwrite, apply, then action replay under the
15-bit server_action_stamp wraparound gate (local player skips its
own autonomous echoes).
- ApplyInterpretedMovement (0x00528600): my_run_rate cache from
RunForward speed, then retail dispatch order style -> forward-or-
Falling -> sidestep(-stop) -> turn(-stop), turn early-return.
- DispatchInterpretedMotion (0x00528360): contact-gated sink dispatch
(IInterpretedMotionSink = the GetObjectSequence backend the App
implements); blocked non-action motions take the apply-only path —
retail's real mechanism behind K-fix17's 'airborne remotes keep
their cycle' empirical guard.
- contact_allows_move REWRITTEN VERBATIM from the real 0x00528240
(pseudo-C 305471): Falling/0x40000011 + turns always allowed,
non-creature weenies + no-gravity bypass, else Contact+OnWalkable.
The previous body conflated jump_charge_is_allowed (0x00527a50)
posture checks — the 2026-06-04 deep-dive divergence, now retired.
Six tests that pinned the misattributed behavior corrected
(grounded posture does NOT block motion; airborne accepts
Falling/turns only).
- IWeenieObject.IsCreature (default true) for the gate's non-creature
bypass.
Conformance harness (the user-requested 'prove it equals retail'
apparatus, layer 1): RetailObserverTraceConformanceTests parses the
LIVE cdb trace of a retail observer (Fixtures/l2g-observer-trace.log,
captured via tools/cdb/l2g-observer.cdb) into 183 golden cases —
each [MTIS] input state replayed through our funnel must produce
retail's exact [DIM] dispatch sequence. 183/183 conformant, including
the airborne jump case (replayed contact-free; pre-gate vs post-gate
accounting + HitGround second-pass truncation documented in-test).
13 synthetic funnel tests cover the branches the trace missed
(actions, stamps, longjump, sidestep).
GameWindow integration (S2b) follows; funnel not yet wired.

Port retail's three-stamp inbound gate for 0xF74C UpdateMotion:
- MotionSequenceGate (Core/Physics): CPhysicsObj::is_newer (0x00451ad0)
wraparound u16 compare, verbatim per ACE PhysicsObj.is_newer (the BN
pseudo-C setcc returns are garbled; ACE + branch structure are the
oracle). Gates: INSTANCE_TS at dispatch (stale incarnation drops
before any stamp is touched), MOVEMENT_TS strictly-newer (stamped
BEFORE the server-control check, per CPhysics::SetObjectMovement
0x00509690), SERVER_CONTROLLED_MOVE_TS drop-when-stored-newer.
- Seed from CreateObject's PhysicsDesc timestamp block (index 1 =
ObjectMovement now parsed; ACE WorldObject_Networking.cs:411-420
order) — without seeding, entities whose movement sequence is past
0x8000 at spawn would drop every UM against a zero stamp.
Adopt-on-first / advance-only-after, so the #138 rehydrate replay of
retained spawns cannot regress live stamps.
- UpdateMotion + EntitySpawn now carry instance/movement/serverControl
sequences + isAutonomous (was parsed-past; isAutonomous feeds the
S2 funnel's last_move_was_autonomous). Gate wired at the top of
OnLiveMotionUpdated before any state mutation; [UM_STALE] diag under
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOTION / ACDREAM_REMOTE_VEL_DIAG; gate dropped with the
entity on DeleteObject.
Register: AD-32 added (adopt-newer-incarnation instead of retail's
QueueBlobForObject); TS-26 updated (UM side closed, UP side open).
Deviation map: docs/research/2026-07-02-inbound-motion-deviation-map.md.
19 new gate tests + parser coverage; full suite 3276 green.

Ports retail's raw->interpreted motion normalization and routes the local
player's velocity through it, so backward/strafe come from the retail source
instead of hand-mirrored controller code (retires register TS-22 + UN-5).
MotionInterpreter (decomp-verbatim, Ghidra/ACE-cross-checked):
- adjust_motion (0x00528010): WalkBackward->WalkForward (x-0.649999976),
TurnLeft->TurnRight (x-1), SideStepLeft->SideStepRight (x-1), sidestep scale
0.5*(WalkAnimSpeed/SidestepAnimSpeed), RunForward early-return, per-channel
holdkey fallback to CurrentHoldKey.
- apply_run_to_command (0x00527be0): WalkForward->RunForward when speed>0 +
UNCONDITIONAL *runRate; TurnRight *1.5; SideStepRight *runRate clamp +/-3.0.
- apply_raw_movement (0x005287e0): copy raw->interpreted, adjust the 3 channels
with per-channel hold keys.
- WalkAnimSpeed unified to the retail-exact 3.11999989f (was 3.12f).
PlayerMovementController: build ONE RawMotionState from MovementInput at
forward_speed=1.0 (apply_run_to_command applies the run rate — a pre-scaled
speed would double-scale), run apply_raw_movement, then take grounded + jump
velocity straight from get_state_velocity (now correct for all directions) and
drive the keyboard turn omega from the interpreted turn_speed (BaseTurnRate x
turn_speed = the same pi/2 formula the remote path uses; numerically identical
to the old TurnRateFor). Deleted the hand-mirrored backward(x-0.65) /
strafe(x+-1.25) formulas in both the grounded and jump blocks. Mouse turn and
the auto-walk path are untouched.
Retail-faithful behavior changes (confirm in smoke): strafe is now
1.25 * ~1.248 * runRate = ~1.56*runRate, clamped via SideStepSpeed<=3.0 so
|v.X|<=3.75 (was 1.25*runRate, no scale/clamp); backward is unchanged
(3.12*0.65*runRate); backward/strafe-left velocity now comes from the pipeline
instead of returning zero. Forward run pace unchanged (4.0*runRate).
Tests: MotionNormalizationTests (17, adjust_motion/apply_run_to_command) +
MotionVelocityPipelineTests (10, apply_raw_movement->get_state_velocity golden
velocities incl. the strafe clamp + turn speeds). Full suite green (3255).
Register: TS-22 + UN-5 deleted (retired); TS-34 added (adjust_motion creature
guard is a no-op — IWeenieObject has no IsCreature; correct for the only caller,
the player). Pseudocode: docs/research/2026-07-01-d6-motion-interp-pseudocode.md.
NEXT D6.2b: the echo-gated wire forward_speed=1.0 question (evidence suggests
ACE relays rather than recomputes; verified via the smoke echo).

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

Brings the 134 D.2b UI commits onto the physics/collision development line so
main can fast-forward. Today's #149 (BSP-less static collision) + #150 (open
doors fully passable) + the full collision/streaming/dense-town-FPS arc meet
the paperdoll/inventory work.
# Conflicts:
# docs/ISSUES.md
# docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md
RegisterLiveEntityCollision had a premature gate at the top of the method:
if (!hasCyl && !hasSphere && !hasRadius) return;
This fired BEFORE ShadowShapeBuilder.FromSetup ran. The builder emits a BSP shape
for every Part whose GfxObj has a PhysicsBSP, regardless of CylSpheres/Spheres/Radius.
A furniture weenie with only a physics-BSP mesh (candle holder, candelabra, etc.)
has no CylSpheres, no Spheres, and Radius=0 -- so it was always dropped, making it
fully passable (invisible wall that lets the player walk through it).
Fix: remove the premature gate. The three `bool` locals (hasCyl, hasSphere, hasRadius)
are retained -- `hasRadius` is still used by the Radius fallback lower in the method
for entities with no CylSphere/Sphere/BSP but a non-zero setup.Radius. The correct
final gate at shapes.Count==0 (after builder + Radius fallback) handles all cases:
- BSP-only entity: builder emits BSP shape -> shapes.Count>0 -> registered.
- Truly shapeless (no BSP, no cyl, no sphere, no radius): builder empty, no Radius
fallback fires -> shapes.Count==0 -> return (not registered, passable). Correct.
Retail anchor: CPhysicsObj::FindObjCollisions (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:276917) --
the gate at pc:276917 is on the MOVER's CPartArray, not a target-side shape filter.
CPartArray::FindObjCollisions (pc:286236) iterates ALL parts; each part's
find_obj_collisions tests physics_bsp when present. There is no retail equivalent of
our premature gate that skips BSP-only targets.
Tests (ShadowShapeBuilderShapeSourceTests): two new cases.
Setup_WithBspPart_NoCylSpheres_EmitsBspShape -- proves the builder emits the shape
the premature gate was discarding.
Setup_WithPartButNoBsp_NoCylSpheres_YieldsEmptyShapeList -- regression guard proving
truly shapeless entities are still not registered (the shapes.Count==0 gate holds).
Full Core suite: 1595 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.

CPhysicsObj::FindObjCollisions at pc:276961-276989 has a two-layer mechanism for
ethereal doors. Layer 1 (BSPQuery Path-1 sphere_intersects_solid, pc:323742) already
ported in Task 3 handles the open-gap case. Layer 2 (pc:276963-276977) is a
force-reset that catches the residual case: when the player's sphere CENTER crosses
a thin ethereal slab, sphere_intersects_solid can still return Collided via
HitsSphere (polygon contact on the slab face). Without Layer 2, the opened door
remains an invisible wall until the player's center passes ~0.48m beyond the slab.
Port: in FindObjCollisionsInCell, immediately after the shape dispatch (BSP / Sphere /
Cylinder branches), insert the Layer-2 gate:
if (result != OK && sp.ObstructionEthereal && !sp.StepDown && (obj.State & 0x1u) == 0)
{ result = OK; ci.CollisionNormalValid = false; }
The STATIC_PS (0x1) guard (pc:276969) ensures static-ethereal env geometry still
blocks. Cylinder/Sphere shapes already return OK from their own ObstructionEthereal
early-outs so Layer 2 is effectively BSP-only in practice, but is written
unconditionally matching retail.
Tests (ObstructionEtherealTests): three new BSP Layer-2 cases using a synthetic
wall polygon in local-space coordinates. (A) ethereal non-static: passable. (B)
ethereal+static: still blocks. (C) non-ethereal: still blocks. All 11 tests pass;
DoorCollision/CellarUp/CornerFlood/HouseExitWalk regression gate: 25/25 pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Part A (D4): CObjCell::check_entry_restrictions (pc:309576) gate is omitted from
FindEnvCollisions. Investigation confirmed the gate requires restriction_obj (per-cell
access-lock entity id) + weenie-object-table dispatch (CanMoveInto / CanBypassMoveRestrictions)
— neither exist in acdream. CellPhysics has no restriction_obj field; DatReaderWriter
models no per-cell access locks. Gap is inert in all dev content (ACE starter area has
no access-locked env cells). Documented as AP-50 in the retail divergence register.
Part B (W1): Replace the hardcoded-false smell in BspOnlyDispatch with named internal
helpers PvpExempt() and MissileIgnore() that return false with retail oracle citations
(pc:276808-276841 and pc:274385 respectively). BspOnlyDispatch now folds all three
terms in retail's exact predicate structure. Behavior is byte-identical in M1.5 scope
(both stubs false ⇒ reduces to HAS_PHYSICS_BSP_PS check alone, same as before).
A6.P7 door dispatch unchanged.
Tests: 3 new guard tests in A6P7DispatchRulesTests — W1_PvpExempt_ReturnsFalseInM15Scope,
W1_MissileIgnore_ReturnsFalseInM15Scope, W1_BspOnlyDispatch_DoorStateStillDispatchesBspOnly.
Suite: 1590 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip (was 1587 + 3 = 1590).

Mirrors RemoveBuildingsForLandblock (#146) for indoor CellPhysics entries.
_cellStruct is first-wins (CacheCellStruct's ContainsKey guard); without
eviction a dungeon's BSP WorldTransform is permanently locked to the
_liveCenter value at first streaming — a teleport recenter leaves cells at a
stale offset (~source↔dest distance), and foot-sphere collision queries miss
the geometry that visually renders correctly.
PhysicsDataCache.RemoveCellsForLandblock iterates _cellStruct.Keys and
TryRemove-s every entry whose high-word matches the evicted landblock prefix.
PhysicsEngine.RemoveLandblock now calls it alongside ShadowObjects.RemoveLandblock
so cell BSPs rebase on the next CacheCellStruct pass, same as buildings.
No divergence register row needed: this closes a gap introduced when the #146
building-eviction pattern was created without the symmetric cell eviction.
Tests: RemoveCellsForLandblockTests (3 cases): evicts-matching-prefix,
empty-cache no-throw, no-matching-cells leaves-others. Core suite: 1587 pass / 0 fail.

Retail oracle greps confirmed:
- CSphere::intersects_sphere @ 0x00537ae4 (pc:321692): the ethereal branch
is `void __thiscall` — all paths return void (no COLLIDED). The function
performs a proximity check only; no blocking result is produced.
- CCylSphere::intersects_sphere @ 0x0053b4a0 (pc:324573): same void-return
pattern — ethereal branch calls collides_with_sphere (check only, no slide),
all returns are void = passable.
Change: added `if (sp.ObstructionEthereal) return TransitionState.OK` at the
top of SphereCollision and CylinderCollision in TransitionTypes.cs, mirroring
the void-return semantics of both retail functions. The existing per-object
clear at pc:276989 (line 2837) still fires after the early OK return.
Before this fix: an ethereal-alone NPC/ghost with a Cylinder or Sphere shadow
shape would BLOCK the player (regression introduced when Task 3 made ETHEREAL-
alone fall through ShouldSkip instead of instant-skipping). After: all three
shape types — BSP (via BSPQuery Path 1), Sphere, and Cylinder — correctly pass
through when obstruction_ethereal is set.
Tests: added 4 tests to ObstructionEtherealTests.cs verifying:
- Ethereal Cylinder → passable (sweep passes through, no CollisionNormalValid)
- Ethereal Sphere → passable (same)
- Non-ethereal Cylinder → still blocks (regression guard)
- Non-ethereal Sphere → still blocks (regression guard)
Full Core suite: 1584 pass, 0 fail, 2 skip (pre-existing dat skips).
Pseudocode doc updated with confirmed cyl/sphere ethereal contracts and the

Retail CPhysicsObj::FindObjCollisions (0x0050f050) only instant-skips when
BOTH ETHEREAL_PS (0x4) AND IGNORE_COLLISIONS_PS (0x10) are set (pc:276782).
ETHEREAL-alone sets sphere_path.obstruction_ethereal=1 (pc:276806) and
continues to the shape dispatch. BSPTREE::find_collisions (0x0053a496) routes
Path 1 (sphere_intersects_solid) when the flag is set (pc:323742): the open
door has no solid leaf at the doorway, so the test returns OK → player passes
through. CEnvCell::find_env_collisions (0x0052c144) clears the flag first so
ENV walls are never weakened (pc:309580, "D5 clear").
Changes:
- CollisionExemption.ShouldSkip: require BOTH bits for Gate-1 early-out
(previously ETHEREAL alone returned true — the AD-7 shim). Divergence
register row AD-7 deleted.
- SpherePath: add ObstructionEthereal field (mirrors retail
SPHEREPATH.obstruction_ethereal).
- FindObjCollisionsInternal loop: set sp.ObstructionEthereal=(target&0x4)!=0
before shape dispatch; clear it after (per-object clear pc:276989).
Also clear at the null-BSP continue site to keep flag clean.
- FindEnvCollisions: clear sp.ObstructionEthereal=false at top (D5 clear
pc:309580) — ENV cell walls are always solid.
- BSPQuery.FindCollisions Path 1: change `obj.Ethereal` (ObjectInfo.Ethereal,
always false — dead code) to `path.ObstructionEthereal`. Gate now correctly
mirrors retail pc:323742: PLACEMENT_INSERT || obstruction_ethereal.
Consume site change (BSPQuery.cs before/after):
BEFORE: if (path.InsertType == InsertType.Placement || obj.Ethereal)
AFTER: if (path.InsertType == InsertType.Placement || path.ObstructionEthereal)
Mirrors retail pc:323742 exactly. obj.Ethereal was dead code (ObjectInfo.Ethereal
is never set true anywhere); the correct flag is SpherePath.ObstructionEthereal.
Tests: 1580 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip (was 1576/0/2 + 4 new in ObstructionEtherealTests.
CellarUp, CornerFlood, DoorCollision, HouseExitWalk all green — no wall regressions.

Setup.Spheres were previously coerced to short cylinders (CylHeight=2*r),
which is geometrically wrong: a cylinder has flat caps; a sphere does not.
This ported CSphere::intersects_sphere (0x00537A80) so sphere-typed shadow
entries are tested as spheres — 3-D distance, no height clamping.
Changes:
- ShadowObjectRegistry.cs: added ShadowCollisionType.Sphere (enum value 2).
The BuildFloodSpheres anyCyl dedup at :232 is unaffected: only Cylinder
sets anyCyl=true; Sphere shapes fall through to the BSP-fallback path
(anyCyl=false → included), which is correct.
- ShadowShapeBuilder.cs: FromSetup now emits ShadowCollisionType.Sphere
(CylHeight=0) for Setup.Spheres instead of a short Cylinder.
- CollisionPrimitives.cs: added SweptSphereHitsSphere — quadratic swept
solve ported from ACE Sphere.cs::FindTimeOfCollision, which is a C# port
of retail's CSphere::intersects_sphere @ 0x00537A80. Sign convention
confirmed against the decomp: retail negates the root to produce a
forward t ∈ (0,1].
- TransitionTypes.cs: added Sphere narrow-phase branch between BSP and
Cylinder in FindObjCollisionsInCell; uses 3-D distance for overlap
(not XY-only). Added SphereCollision() method implementing the 3-D
wall-slide response. Updated diagnostic logging at :2734 to cover Sphere.
- Updated ShadowShapeBuilderTests for new Sphere type assertion.
- New SphereIntersectsSphereConformanceTests: 9 geometrically-anchored
cases (head-on, tangent, perpendicular-miss, lateral-near-miss,
sweep-away, beyond-step, degenerate-zero-sweep, already-overlapping,
vertical-sweep).
Retail oracle: CSphere::intersects_sphere @ 0x00537A80 (named-retail);

Retail oracle: CPartArray::InitParts@0x00517F40, CGfxObj::Serialize@0x00534970 (physics_bsp
gated on serialized-flags bit-0), CPhysicsPart::find_obj_collisions@0x0050D8D0 (returns OK /
passable when physics_bsp==null). Render-mesh bounds never enter collision.
Changes:
- GameWindow.cs: delete the ~200-line VISUAL mesh-bounds collision block (the
isPhantomSetup / isPhantomGfxObj locals + the if-block computing worldMin/worldMax
AABB + the ShadowObjects.Register call that capped and registered the synthetic
cylinder). Also removes dead counter variables scHaveBounds/scRegistered/scNoBounds/
scTooThin; trims the ProbeBuildingEnabled summary line accordingly.
- PhysicsDataCache.cs: delete IsPhantomGfxObjSource (the predicate that only existed
to fence the mesh-AABB synthesis; the "phantom" concept is now the default — no DAT
shape means no registration, verbatim with retail).
- PhysicsDataCachePhantomSourceTests.cs: deleted (tested the removed method).
- ShadowShapeBuilderShapeSourceTests.cs: new guard test — a Setup with parts but
hasPhysicsBsp=false and no CylSpheres/Spheres yields an empty shape list, locking
the DAT-only rule in the builder.
- retail-divergence-register.md: AP-2 row deleted (divergence retired).
Objects with no DAT physics shape (no CylSpheres, no Spheres, no part with a
PhysicsBSP) now register no collision shape and are passable, verbatim with retail.
Objects with real DAT shapes (BSP parts, CylSpheres) are unaffected.
dotnet build green, 22/22 tests passing (ShadowShapeBuilderShapeSourceTests +
CellarUpTrajectoryReplay + CornerFlood + Issue147ArwicBuildings replay harnesses).
Visual gate pending: walk Holtburg + open world; objects that become passable must
match retail (DAT has no physics shape — trees with real CylSpheres still solid).

A town's outer/perimeter walls have NO collision even on a fresh login: the
player walks straight through them while houses block fine. Confirmed NOT a
frame issue — #146's bldOrigin probe showed Arwic buildings are correctly
framed (~12 m from the player, not km off), so the "#145 far-town frame"
premise was wrong here.
Root cause (dat-confirmed, Issue147ArwicBuildingsDumpTests): a perimeter wall
is stored in LandBlockInfo.Buildings as a doorless shell — 16 of Arwic's 30
buildings are PORTAL-LESS, ringing the town at 24 m intervals (x=12/132,
y=12/108). The building-collision cache loop skipped them via
`if (building.Portals.Count == 0) continue;` — a filter meant only for the
transit/entry feature (CellTransit.CheckBuildingTransit) that also dropped the
collision shell. Retail's find_building_collisions (0x006b5300) tests the shell
BSP independent of the portal list, so a doorless wall still collides.
Fix: don't skip portal-less buildings — cache them with an empty portal list
(no transit) but their collision shell (ModelId) intact. User-verified: Arwic
perimeter walls now block (Collided/Slid). Adds the dat-dump fixture test.

The FPS deep-dive landed (dense Arwic 75 -> ~165 fps via the cell-object
batching + cell-particle consolidation, both already committed). Remove the
throwaway diagnostic apparatus now that it has served its purpose:
- delete FrameProfiler.cs (whole-frame TimeElapsed + [PASS-GPU] glFinish +
[CPU-PHASE]/[GPU-PHASE] timers + the =1/=2 ACDREAM_FPS_PROF modes)
- GameWindow: _fpsProf/_frameProfiler/_msaaSamples fields, the BeginFrame/
EndFrame/MarkUpdateStart hooks, the terrain glFinish, and the landscape
sub-phase LsMark instrumentation
- RetailPViewRenderer: the DrawInside per-phase Phase()/MarkGpu markers
- ParticleRenderer / PortalDepthMaskRenderer / EnvCellRenderer: the per-pass
glFinish brackets
- delete DegradeCoverageProbeTests.cs (the dead distance-degrade probe)
KEPT (the real fixes): RetailPViewRenderer cell-object batching + consolidated
cell-particle pass; EnvCellRenderer.CellHasTransparent. Build + full test suite
green (468 App incl. pview replay tests; 1566 Core; 317 Net; 425 UI).

Carries the parsed dat objects ApplyLoadedTerrainLocked needs so the worker
can pre-read them and the apply can run lock-free. Optional field (default
null) keeps existing LoadedLandblock construction back-compatible.

Code-quality review (needs-changes) on Task 3: WieldItemOptimistic wrote
item.WielderId directly, but RollbackMove (via MoveItem) never cleared it
→ a wield-rollback left a pack item with a stale WielderId=player.
Root-cause fix (vs the reviewer's snapshot-WielderId suggestion): acdream's
existing WieldObject 0x0023 confirm models a wielded item as ContainerId=
wielder + equip=mask and does NOT touch WielderId. So the optimistic path
must match — drop the WielderId write entirely. Optimistic state now equals
the confirmed state, rollback fully restores through MoveItem alone, and the
stale-state class is structurally eliminated. The paperdoll's
(WielderId==p || ContainerId==p) filter still matches optimistic wields via
ContainerId (login-equipped items match via WielderId from their CreateObject).
Also: + the wield+move outstanding-count combo test (spec §8), MoveItem doc
note that it doesn't manage WielderId, and the test pins WielderId==0 post-
optimistic-wield to document the model. Core 74/74 green.

Add WieldItemOptimistic (instant optimistic wield — sets ContainerId=WielderId=player,
CurrentlyEquippedLocation=equipMask, snapshots pre-wield position) and extend the
_pendingMoves tuple to carry the pre-move EquipMask so RollbackMove restores EQUIPPED
state faithfully on server rejection. Shared RecordPending helper replaces the inline
snapshot block in MoveItemOptimistic.

The old enum invented two phantom bits (HandArmor=0x2000, FootArmor=0x10000) and
used non-retail names (Necklace, LeftBracelet, RightBracelet, LeftRing, RightRing,
AetheriaRed/Yellow/Blue), shifting every slot above 0x1000 out of alignment with
retail INVENTORY_LOC (acclient.h:3193) and ACE EquipMask.
Replace the enum body with verbatim retail values. Add EquipMaskTests to
numeric-pin every member so future renumbering breaks at compile/test time.
Existing consumers (ClientObjectTable, InventoryController, GameEventWiringTests,
ClientObjectTableTests) only reference EquipMask.MeleeWeapon and EquipMask.None --
both present at their correct retail values -- so no call sites needed updating.

Visual gate: moving an item within a bag reshuffled every item ("the order is
not set"). Root cause: insert-before set ONLY the dragged item's ContainerSlot
to N, colliding with the item already at N; the sort-by-slot tie then reordered
the whole grid on every repaint. Fix: MoveItemOptimistic now does a proper
index-based INSERT (shift the others, renumber 0..N-1 gapless) like retail's
ItemList_InsertItem, and HandleDropRelease uses the target's GRID INDEX
(SlotIndex) as the placement rather than its raw ContainerSlot. Regression test
pins the shifted, gapless order. Full suite green.

I2 (real bug): Clear() (teleport/logoff) and Remove() (item destroyed) now drop
the item's _pendingMoves entry — a stale snapshot on a recycled guid could
otherwise mis-rollback a different future item.
I1 (race): track an OUTSTANDING count per item so an early ConfirmMove (0x0022)
for the first of several in-flight moves of the SAME item can't clear the
snapshot while a later move is unconfirmed — a later reject can still roll back
to the original instead of stranding the item at the rejected position.
Both with regression tests; full suite green.

BuildCellSetAndPickContaining discarded the bool from TryGetTerrainOrigin — when
the current landblock's terrain hadn't been applied yet (priority-apply in flight
after a teleport or dungeon exit), blockOrigin was silently set to (0,0,0). The
AdjustToOutside/GetOutsideLcoord math treated world-frame sphere coordinates as
block-local and marched the cell one landblock per tick in the direction of movement
until lbX or lbY underflowed to 0x00. ACE rejected every subsequent move as a
failed transition.
Fix: honor the bool return. When terrain is unregistered for an OUTDOOR seed
(low < 0x0100), return currentCellId verbatim — "no block-local frame →
preserve". This mirrors the NO-LANDBLOCK verbatim contract in PhysicsEngine.Resolve
and is correct: the cell stays last-known-correct until terrain registers.
Indoor seeds are explicitly excluded (blockOrigin is never consumed by the indoor
pick path; outdoorPickAllowed=false for indoor seeds).
Reproduce + verify via CellMarchLandblockPreservationTests (two new FAILING-before
tests: WestEdge and SouthEdge with empty cache, no anchor → lbX/lbY preserved).
TeleportFarTownRunawayTests updated: no-anchor path now also preserves (pre-fix it
marched south to 0x59; post-fix returns currentCell unchanged).
CellTransitFindCellSetTests, Issue112MembershipTests, PhysicsEngineTests: added
RegisterTerrain for the streaming-center block (in production it is always resident
before outdoor resolves run; tests that used blockOrigin=(0,0,0) as an implicit
fallback now register the block explicitly). All 1567 tests pass.
Divergence AD-30 added to retail-divergence-register.md.

Adds a high-16-bit-prefix landblock residency check used as the teleport
worldReady gate — true once the destination landblock's terrain+cells
have been registered via AddLandblock, regardless of whether the caller
passes a canonical (0xFFFF), cell-resolved, or bare landblock id.
Two TDD tests confirm: false before registration, true after, and
that a cell-resolved id on the same landblock returns true.

Replace RemoveAt(0)-in-a-loop drain idiom with RemoveRange(0, i) in both
Step-1 deferred drain and the post-found deferred drain inside DrainAndApply,
making each an O(N) single shift instead of O(N²) on the render-thread hot path.
Add PriorityNeverArrives_noThrow_noLoss_noDoubleApply test: sets a priority id
that never appears in the outbox, ticks several times, asserts no throw, no
loss of the non-priority completions, and no double-apply (applied count ==
completions enqueued). Comment above the priority-hunt explains the failure
mode: completions relocate to _deferredApply while the hunt is active and drain
at per-frame budget until the caller clears PriorityLandblockId.
Restyle test 2 to use named constructor arguments and break the compressed
lambda onto readable lines (matches test 1 style).

Adds PriorityLandblockId (uint, default 0) + _deferredApply buffer.
DrainAndApply now: (1) applies up to budget from the deferred buffer,
(2) when PriorityLandblockId != 0, hunts the worker outbox in chunks
applying the priority LB immediately on match and buffering any
non-priority items drained past it for later frames,
(3) falls back to normal drain when no priority is set or not found.
Extracts ApplyResult(result) + ResultLandblockId(result) helpers so
both the priority and normal paths share identical side-effects.
No existing behaviour changes on the non-priority path.
21 streaming tests pass (19 existing + 2 new priority-apply tests).

User-tested: the Slice 2 'hold outdoor until landblock loaded' gate made
EVERY outdoor teleport a ~10 s freeze, because the destination landblock
does NOT load fast during the hold (lbs=0 the whole time — the #138
streaming gap + _datLock starvation from the CreateObject flood). The hold
was band-aiding a broken/slow foundation rather than fixing it, and it never
actually prevented the #145 edge cascade anyway (it force-snapped onto
NO-LANDBLOCK after the timeout regardless).
Reverts ad8c24e..c880973 to the pre-Slice-2 state (00ef47e): outdoor places
immediately again (fast teleports). The genuine bug found along the way —
IsLandblockLoaded queried the wrong key form (& 0xFFFF0000 vs the stored
| 0xFFFF) — is preserved in the history (c880973) and will be re-applied when
we re-introduce a proper hold ON A FIXED FOUNDATION.
Decision (user, 2026-06-21): fix the foundation FIRST — fast/complete
streaming during teleport (#138), the post-teleport lost-collision bug, and
the FPS leak (Work item C) — then revisit the teleport-flow animation. Slice 1
(the pure TeleportAnimSequencer) stays in (dormant, unwired, harmless).
