Slice 4 passed its two-client Coldeve visual gate and was user-accepted;
world-interaction program resumes at Slice 5 (vendor browsing) after the
physics parity campaign.

Slice 4 made a remote character's wielded weapon selectable, which made the
pickup chain reachable end to end for the first time: SelectionPickUp on
another player's weapon captured identity, passed ValidatePickupTarget (which
checked only the Stuck flag and the small-item mask, and a MeleeWeapon clears
both), installed a real non-autonomous approach through
PlayerInteractionMovementSink, and then sent a pickup request the server
rejects. Retail does none of that.
ItemHolder::AttemptToPlaceInContainer @ 0x00588140 runs
AttemptToPlaceInContainer_IsItemLegal @ 0x005870C0 first, at 0x00588173 --
ahead of container legality, auto-merge, the container walk, and the only
CM_Inventory::Event_PutItemInContainer emitter
(ACCWeenieObject::UIAttemptPutInContainer @ 0x0058D680). IsItemLegal's arm at
0x005872B7 rejects `!ACCWeenieObject::IsOwnedByPlayer(item) &&
item->pwd._location != 0` with one local
ECM_UI::SendNotice_DisplayStringInfo(0x1a, ...), and
CPlayerSystem::PlaceInBackpack @ 0x0055D8C0 then withdraws the waiting slot it
had published (SetWaitingState(obj, 0) + SendNotice_EndPendingInPlayer at
0x0055D918). No request, no movement. acdream had never ported that arm; it
was harmless while wielded children were unpickable and stopped being harmless
at f6db964f.
The notice is data_7e2228, "The %s is being wielded by someone else!" -- WITH
the exclamation mark. IsItemLegal's six strings occupy one contiguous literal
block, 0x007e21f0 through 0x007e234c, one per arm in reverse code order, and
the two neighbours already ported here (0x007e227c "The %s cannot be picked
up!" at 0x00587264, 0x007e22b4 "You cannot pick up creatures!" at 0x005871f4)
pin it. The punctuation-free 0x007cd350 variant belongs to the wield/wear
block and is emitted from a different function at 0x00560aef.
pwd._location is the PublicWeenieDesc CurrentWieldedLocation field
(acclient.h:37175), which acdream projects as
ClientObject.CurrentlyEquippedLocation, and ACCWeenieObject::IsOwnedByPlayer
@ 0x0058D160 is IsOwnedByObject(this, player_id) -- already ported as
ClientObjectTable.IsOwnedByObject @ 0x0058CEB0 and reached here through the
existing ItemInteractionController.IsOwnedByPlayer. The arm reads pwd._location
verbatim rather than adding a WielderId belt-and-braces test, because retail's
predicate is the thing being ported.
The player's OWN wielded item is IsOwnedByPlayer, so retail passes it and takes
a different route. ACCWeenieObject::DeterminePositionState @ 0x0058BE70 gives
it PositionState.WIELDED (acclient.h:6802) rather than IN_3D_VIEW, and
UIAttemptPutInContainer records IR_PICK_UP only for IN_3D_VIEW, treating
WIELDED and IN_CONTAINER alike as a plain IR_PUT_IN_CONTAINER transfer. So an
own-wielded item is unwielded in place: the request goes out immediately with
no approach, joining the existing current-ground-object shortcut. The shortcut
carries an ownership conjunct so it can never outrun the 0x005872B7 gate.
TryGetApproach now refuses attached children outright, for the same
IN_3D_VIEW reason. An Attached projection's bookkeeping WorldEntity.Position
carries the PARENT's composed root (EquippedChildRenderController
.ApplyParentWorldPose), not the child frame CPhysicsObj::UpdateChild @
0x00512D50 composes, so an approach built from it walked toward the wielder.
Slice 4 de-parented the marker anchor but left this one parent-derived; no
approach can anchor on a wielder now.
The pick predicates are deliberately untouched. Picking, selecting, examining,
lighting-pulse identity, and the vivid-marker anchor on a remote's wielded
weapon all behave exactly as Slice 4 shipped them -- retail's sr_Select and
sr_Examine branches of RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @ 0x004E5AD0 never
consult IsItemLegal. The gate is the transaction, not the pick.
f6db964f's message asserted the slice introduced no deviation and owed no
retail-divergence-register row. That was wrong: the unported 0x005872B7 arm
was a deviation it made reachable. This commit ports the arm in full, matches
retail on the own-wielded path, and removes the parent-derived approach
anchor, so the record is corrected here and no register row is owed.

A click on a remote character's wielded weapon reported nothing. The picker
was already correct: RetailSelectionScene publishes every drawn part under its
own live-entity server GUID and RetailWorldPicker returns the weapon as the
polygon winner. The failure was downstream eligibility - WorldSelectionQuery
required TryGetInteractionEligibleRecord, whose _visible set admits
LiveEntityProjectionKind.World only, so the winning hit was discarded.
Retail has no such gate. Render::GfxObjUnderSelectionRay @ 0x0054C740
accumulates each hit under the drawn part's own physics-object id
(CPhysicsPart::get_physobj_id @ 0x0050D490), and CPhysicsPart::Draw @
0x0050D7A0 admits any drawn part whose physobj id is nonzero. An equipped item
is a first-class CPhysicsObj with its own id and part array
(CPhysicsObj::add_child @ 0x0050F870 via CSetup::GetHoldingLocation @
0x005213F0). There is no parent redirection and no wielded-specific rule, so a
click on a wielded weapon returns THE WEAPON'S GUID. PositionState.WIELDED is
distinct from IN_CONTAINER (acclient.h:6802), so container suppression never
hid a wielded selection either.
LiveEntityRuntime gains two scoped predicates: TryGetAttachedProjectedRecord
(a current Attached projection that is spatially projected) and
TryGetPickEligibleRecord (that arm plus today's World visible-set arm, with
the same WorldEntity.Id staleness recheck). TryGetInteractionEligibleRecord
and the _visible set are deliberately NOT widened - they feed radar,
auto-target, sticky/MoveTo establishment, and CombatAttackTargetSource, and
retail's radar has no wielded blips. A regression test asserts an attached
child stays out of that set while picking admits it.
Marker anchoring had the twin problem. SmartBox::GetObjectBoundingBox @
0x00452E20 pushes the picked object's OWN m_position - which for a child is
the frame CPhysicsObj::UpdateChild @ 0x00512D50 recomposes each tick as
Frame::combine(parent part frame, holding frame) - and
CPartArray::GetSelectionSphere @ 0x00518B80 scales the authored sphere by that
object's own part-array scale. acdream stores the PARENT's root in the child
projection's Position/Rotation because the child's MeshRefs are
parent-relative, which put the vivid brackets at the wielder's feet. The
composed child root is already published per frame to EntityEffectPoseRegistry
by EquippedChildRenderController.PublishChildPose, so selection now borrows it
through an injected Func<uint, Matrix4x4?> wired in LivePresentationComposition
beside the existing selection-sphere hook. There is no parent fallback: a child
with no published composed root has no live frame this tick and no sphere. Its
part-array scale comes from the spawn record, the same source
EquippedChildRenderController.TryRealize reads, because an Attached WorldEntity
carries the parent-derived pose rather than its own ObjScale.
The sr_Use branch of RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @ 0x004E5AD0 guards
ItemHolder::UseObject with `found->pwd._wielderID != SmartBox::player_id` at
0x004E5BE9 while still selecting and flashing. Equipped-child picking makes
that click reachable, so the gate ships with it as
IWorldSelectionQuery.IsWieldedByPlayer.
CPhysicsObj::SetLighting @ 0x00511A80 is non-recursive, so the pulse lights the
clicked object's own part array only - clicking a weapon never flashes its
wielder. That follows from routing the pulse identity through the same
predicate.
RetailWorldPicker, RetailSelectionScene, WbDrawDispatcher, and
EquippedChildRenderController are untouched, as are all wire and physics paths.
The slice REMOVES an undocumented deviation (Attached projections excluded
from pick eligibility versus retail's part-id pick) and introduces none, so no
retail-divergence-register row is owed in either direction.

The named-retail oracle settles the child-vs-parent question: retail's pick records part->physobj->id (CPhysicsPart::Draw 0x0050D7A0, GfxObjUnderSelectionRay 0x0054C740), equipped children are first-class CPhysicsObjs whose m_position IS the composed hold frame (add_child 0x0050F870, UpdateChild 0x00512D50), so a click on a wielded weapon returns the weapon's own guid with no parent redirection and no wielded-specific gate. Selection, the non-recursive click flash (SetLighting 0x00511A80), and the vivid brackets all anchor to the picked child; only sr_Use on your OWN wielded item is suppressed (0x004E5BE9).
The gap analysis found acdream's picker already correct - equipped children publish selection parts under their own guid and already win the ray test. The failure is downstream eligibility: PickAt requires the World-kind-only interaction set, so the winning hit is discarded. The slice is therefore a scoped pick-eligibility predicate plus a marker anchor sourced from the already-published child root pose - deliberately NOT widening the interaction/radar/auto-target set, which retail also keeps free of wielded items.
