Correct packet section 18.7 mutation 9: renaming AP-241 first fails the earlier AP-table-boundary Assert.True with rowIndex=-1; the later Assert.Single is not reached. Advance only the S4-c3a ledger row to the owner-authorized evidence-exception review.
This commit explicitly supersedes the false mutation-9 sentence recorded in historical candidate commit 44e2bc227b without rewriting or amending that commit. It changes no other c3a evidence or renderer behavior.
Narrow mutation: AP-241 rename first failed at line 329 with 'AP-241 row must be inside the AP table before the TS section; rowIndex=-1, AP=[275116,751256).'. The register row was restored byte-identically and the same isolated test passed 1/1. Diff-check passed; only packet and plan changed; no graphical client.

Retain the GfxObj-authored SortCenter independently from the rendered AABB center and use its scaled, oriented world point for billboard/mode-2-5 CYpt. Keep the visual center unchanged.
Reserve prepared source payload only at Append, roll back the exact tail once on false or exception, cap retained preparation at 3000 CLIP plus 3000 ALPHA, preserve immediate duplicates, account the bounded scratch, and correct the static-record ordering comment. The lead-authorized plan edit records candidate 44e2bc227b's retail FAIL and this section 19 result.

Reconstruct one combined static/dynamic object-part stream for each ordinary outdoor or interior cell, compute authored SortCenter CYpt keys, and stable-sort far to near before projecting opaque and delayed subsets. Prepare real cell-particle records at the leaf, preserve every S4-c2 router outcome, and merge object and particle delayed records by retained key before either source appends to the unchanged CLIP/ALPHA FIFO lists. Cell turns remain cell-major; equal cross-source ties are deterministically object-first.
File AP-241 and AP-242 for the remaining separate opaque/row-5 channels and unrepresented equal-key common ordinal. File AP-243 for the paired-binary correction: retail shares the cell CYpt/heading beyond 50 m while this bounded port always uses the more exact authored per-part center. Pin 162 active AP rows and correct world-alpha and AlphaFlushCounts prose.
Lead-approved scope clarification: RetailPViewPassExecutor.WalkLeaf.cs and RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs are the minimum existing production leaf adapter and thin particle-prepare forwarder omitted by the literal Walk/Wb file list. They contain no router, queue, mask, state, depth, or flush behavior; relocating them would create an artificial seam.
Gates: Release solution build 0W/0E; shader/manifest 32/32; focused production 210/210; real allocation 3/3 at 0 B; one-shot hermetic 16743/0/0 across 14 assemblies; InstalledDat 385 pass/10 documented fail/1 skip with all six AlphaFlushSites passing; git diff --check PASS. Initial no-restore solution build failed NETSDK1004 for 42 missing scratch assets; one solution restore preceded the official build.
Mutation proof, each restored before final gates:
1. Reverse comparator: authored-center order expected [202,101], actual [101,202].
2. Move ties left: multipart/subset order expected [11,12,21,22], actual [22,21,12,11].
3. Restore static/dynamic blocks: expected [2,3,1], actual [3,1,2].
4. Use entity origin: authored-center order expected [202,101], actual [101,202].
5. Restore particle tail: expected [Wb,Particle,Wb,Particle], actual [Wb,Wb,Particle,Particle].
6. Scope-global sort: first cell model X expected 5, actual 50.
7. Restore dead camera parameter: SubmitWalkAlphaInstance parameter count expected 2, actual 3.
8. Restore stale global-queue prose: exact Assert.DoesNotContain failure on distance-sorts one shared queue.
9. Remove AP-241 identity: Assert.Single found no matching row.
10. Allocate in real merge: expected 0 B, actual 3072 B.

Exclude deferred EnvCell subsets from the opaque turn, preserve exact CLIP/ALPHA fixed-state groups through leaf replay, and use retail's row-3 override, blend, depth, and texture-class alpha references. Keep the existing building-detail sentinel distinct from the two CLIP references.
Bound rejected source payload, replace no-op allocation proofs with actual EnvCell and particle RHI paths, rebuild checked-in SPIR-V, and correct AP-238/AP-240 plus the S4-c2 evidence record.
Gates: Release 0W/0E; hermetic 16735/0/0; InstalledDat 255 pass/10 known fail/1 skip; shaders 32/32; focused 239/239; allocation 2/2 at 0 B. The evidence/comment repair re-ran Release 0W/0E, shaders 32/32, affected 37/37, and allocation 2/2; mesh_detail.vert.spv remained byte-identical at SHA-256 5346247ab7d606046943e19b28888c814e08dc6cb27cd9750096ac055457eb57.
Mutation proof, with each mutation restored after its named first failure:
1. Restoring the opaque predicate to !IsAdditive fails WholeLeaf_MixedCellDrawsOpaqueAtTurnThenClipAndAlphaAtDrain first at draw count: expected 1, actual 3.
2. Selecting _alphaPipeline for CLIP fails WholeLeaf_ClipDrainBindsExactStateAndTextureClassReference first at the bind sequence: expected [envcell-clip], actual [envcell-alpha].
3. Disabling CLIP depth write fails that production Theory first at Assert.True(clipPipeline.Depth.Write): expected true, actual false.
4. Swapping palette/DDS references fails the DDS row first: expected 0.784313738, actual 0.392156869; the palette row reports the inverse.
5. Mutating mesh_modern.frag from < to <= fails ClipShaders_UseGreaterEqualForThePerRangeReference first at Assert.Contains("if (color.a < alphaCutoff) discard;"): the required source spelling is absent.
6. Restoring row-3 OverrideClipmap=true fails the real-interface clip Theory first at Assert.False: expected false, actual true.
7. Deleting failed-append rollback fails the flush/end/abort rejection-storm rows first at the bounded pending-count assertion: expected 0, actual 9000.
8. Selecting _transparentDetailPipeline for a ClipMap detail contribution fails the leaf detail pin first at the bind sequence: expected second bind envcell-retail-detail-clip, actual envcell-retail-detail-alpha.
9. Resetting detail ParamB to zero fails the same detail pin first at the second pushed reference: expected 0.784313738, actual 0.
10. Classifying CLIP with exact mask equality excludes legal 0x09 and fails WholeLeaf_PositiveStippleClipMaskUsesClipPipelineAndDdsReference first at pipeline: expected envcell-clip, actual envcell-alpha.
11. Mapping the new blend to SRC_ALPHA/INVSRCALPHA fails AllRetailBlendModesAreRepresentable first at the tuple: expected (One, OneMinusSrcAlpha), actual (SrcAlpha, OneMinusSrcAlpha).
12. Restoring mesh_detail.vert's uParamB > 0.5 category predicate fails ClipShaders_UseGreaterEqualForThePerRangeReference first because vDetailCategory = uParamB == 1.0 is absent.
13. Treating every positive detail uParamB as a cutoff fails that source pin first because isRetailClipReference(uParamB) ? uParamB : 0.05 is absent.
14. Adding arbitrary 0.5 as an accepted reference to either mesh_modern.frag or mesh_detail.frag fails that source pin first at Assert.DoesNotContain("value - 0.5"); both mutations were run and reversed independently.
Retail: D3DPolyRender::SetSurface @ 0x0059c4d0; paired binary @ 0x0059c72a, 0x0059c747/0x0059c74f, 0x0059c821, 0x0059c838, 0x0059c866.
Final allowed fix round for S4-c2 on cc8e5677a. This lands every item in
the campaign packet section 12 without adding a flush site, shader, distance,
overflow recovery draw, or graphical-client run.
R2-1 particle row 5: ParticleRenderer now constructs and owns the actual
particle-mesh-opaque pipeline using the existing particle_mesh shaders and
layout, Blend=None, depth test/write enabled with WorldCompare, dynamic
per-batch cull, clockwise front face, and no alpha-to-coverage. The production
dispatch selects it for an opaque-classified mesh particle whose clamped
material alpha is 1.0. Nonopaque mesh pipelines remain depth-write-off. The
production route keeps cached reserve/immediate delegates and the warmed
append/immediate paths allocate 0 B.
R2-2 EnvCell exact per-subset routing: ObjectMeshManager carries Content's
TextureBatchData.RetailSurfaceMask onto ObjectRenderBatch at the real upload
boundary. EnvCellRenderer scans the active prepared cell snapshot and feeds
each real transparent batch's exact mask through RetailAlphaMeshRouter. Pure
0x08 Base1ClipMap reaches CLIP, 0x02 alpha-family reaches ALPHA, and table
Immediate subsets draw at the cell turn. Separate fixed-route draw sources
coalesce to at most one token per (cell,list) and filtered replay draws only
that list's subsets; a mixed cell contributes to both lists without duplicate
replay. Detail-on routes eligible subsets immediately with the detail pass.
The warmed dispatch/source allocation pins measure 0 B; the production scan/filter is covered behaviorally and uses only retained scratch/enumerators (static allocation audit).
R2-3 capacity cleanup: RetailAlphaQueue registers a source before the 3,000
entry capacity return. A source whose first append is rejected is therefore
reset by flush, EndFrame, or abort, but its rejected payload is never prepared
or drawn.
R2-4 production proof and prose: both actual Wb submit sites are exercised;
the particle tests call the production dispatcher and inspect the constructed
owner's production pipeline/selector; EnvCell tests upload real Content batch
masks through ObjectMeshManager and drain real filtered MDI calls. The A1
positive proof executes WorldSceneRenderer's real outdoor frame owner through
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawInside and RetailAlphaQueue.EndFrame and observes
[DrawBuilding x N, RenderNormalMode] with no LandscapeFlush. The packet and
register now state the varying retail first-for-list truth and the exact
per-subset EnvCell/AP-238, visible AP-239 compositing, and AP-240 feeder scope.
Physical active register counts remain AP=159 and AD=92.
Final clean-state gates (actual output):

Production mutation checks (each applied, run to the named first failure, and
exactly reversed before the final gates):
1. Restoring the particle row-5 throw fails
OpaqueClassifiedMeshBatch_WithNoMaterialAlpha_DrawsImmediateOnOpaqueDepthState
first with InvalidOperationException: mutation: row 5 unreachable.
2. Deleting row 5's immediate callback fails that same production-dispatch
test's first collection assertion: expected [(Mesh, 11, True)], actual [].
3. Constructing the actual owner pipeline with depthWrite:false fails
ImmediateOpaqueMesh_UsesProductionParticleMeshOpaquePipelineDescription
first at Assert.True(description.Depth.Write): expected true, actual false.
4. Mapping the production selector back to _meshAlphaPipeline fails that same
test first at Assert.Same: expected particle-mesh-opaque, actual
particle-mesh-alpha.
5. Dropping RetailSurfaceMask at the real ObjectMeshManager upload boundary
fails the mixed-cell production scan first: expected Clip | Alpha, actual
Immediate.
6. Hardcoding the uploaded EnvCell scan to MaskAlphaFamily fails the mixed-cell
production scan first: expected Clip | Alpha, actual Alpha; the pure-mask
pin also reports expected Clip, actual Alpha.
7. Inverting the production detail predicate fails the detail-on production
pin first: expected Immediate, actual Clip.
8. Removing both EnvCell replay filters fails the mixed production drain's real
MDI assertions: each call expected DrawCount 1, actual DrawCount 2.
9. Moving RegisterSource below the full-capacity return fails every
RejectedFirstUseSource_IsCleanedWithoutPrepareOrDraw row (flush, EndFrame,
abort) at the first ResetCount assertion: expected 1, actual 0.
10. Hardcoding detailSurfaceActive=false at the real Wb dispatch fails both
production submit-site tests at their first queue-count assertion:
expected 0, actual 1.
11. Restoring RetailPViewRenderer's removed outdoor LandscapeFlush call fails
OutdoorProductionPView_DrainsBuildingThenRenderNormalModeWithoutLandscapeFlush
first at the real drain sequence: expected [DrawBuilding,
RenderNormalMode], actual [DrawBuilding, LandscapeFlush,
RenderNormalMode].
12. Deleting WorldSceneRenderer's final EndFrame owner drain fails that same
full-path A1 test first: expected [DrawBuilding, RenderNormalMode], actual
[DrawBuilding].
Not done/deferred: none. No retail conflict or infeasible contract item was
found. No graphical client was launched.

Fix round 1 of the two the plan allows for S4-c2 (048d5b12f), addressing
every item M1-M8/A1-A8 from the campaign branch's packet section 11.
M1 (BLOCKING): ParticleRenderer.DeferToRetailAlphaQueue threw whenever a
mesh-particle batch's TranslucencyKind.Opaque classification (mask 0x00)
reached a non-Append DrawMesh row - a real, reachable outcome since
TryAppendMeshDraws applies no IsOpaque-style pre-filter unlike
WbDrawDispatcher's path. Deleted both throws (ParticleRenderer.cs,
WbDrawDispatcher.cs SubmitToAlphaQueue), extracted the router-input
derivation into internal static ParticleRenderer.RouteParticleSubmission
(directly testable), and implemented rows 1/5's immediate draw by reusing
the existing per-instance billboard/mesh draw code (new
DrawImmediateParticleSubmissionRhi, no new renderer, no sort per A8).
materialHasAlpha (row 4) is derived from CMaterial::CheckAlphaValues
@0x005396a0 (Ghidra-verified 2026-09-04): has_alpha=0 only when
Ambient.a==Diffuse.a==Specular.a==Emissive.a==1.0f, else 1 - and
CMaterial::SetTranslucencySimple @0x005396f0 (reached from
CPhysicsPart::SetTranslucency <- Particle::Update @0x0051c290's per-frame
alpha-fade) sets all four channels to (1f - translucency) uniformly, so
has_alpha == "this particle's current alpha isn't 1.0" - already carried in
ColorArgb's top byte (Lerp(StartAlpha,EndAlpha,tLife), ParticleSystem.cs
1039-1041/1453).
M3: SubmitToAlphaQueue now takes isBuildingShell + viewProjection and feeds
Row 1's detailSurfaceActive gate for translucent building-shell instances
(retail DrawBuilding @0x0059f2a0 installs building detail before its own
shell subsets reach DrawMesh). Row 1 (detail on) draws the instance
immediately at its own walk-stream AlphaSubmitMark via new
DrawImmediateAlphaInstance/DrawImmediateAlphaInstanceRhi (reusing
WriteDeferredAlphaEntrySlot + the drain's pipeline/detail code for slot 0);
never touches _deferredAlpha/the queue for pure-Immediate submissions (fixes
a latent leak: previously reserving a _deferredAlpha slot for every
candidate meant a frame with ALL-immediate content never registered a
source, so ResetAlphaSubmissions never ran). M3c: DrawPreparedAlphaBatchRhi's
own per-command hasDetail/DrawBuildingDetailRangeRhi branch is deleted -
detail-eligible content no longer reaches the drain (spec: delayed replay
is always detailEnabled=0). New AD-120 register row for the "in place -> at
the entity's own stream mark" granularity adaptation this introduces.
M6: RetailPViewPassExecutor.SubmitOrDrawTransparentCellShell routes an
EnvCell's transparent shell through the SAME RetailAlphaMeshRouter table
(mask 0x02, detailSurfaceActive = EnvCellRenderer.TransparentDetailEnabled)
instead of a hand-coded branch. Detail on: unchanged immediate draw. Detail
off: appends ONE token per CELL via new EnvCellAlphaDrawSource (internal,
delegate-based so it's unit-testable without a GPU harness), replayed
through EnvCellRenderer.RenderTransparentOrdered at the next flush -
RenderTransparentOrdered already replayed a cell's batch on demand, so no
new deferred-replay abstraction was needed (the original landing's claim
that one was required is corrected in the packet).
M4: RetailAlphaEntry.IsFirstForList deleted. Retail's per-DrawMesh-
invocation "first for this list" flag is trivially true for every subset
retail ever appends (DrawMesh @0x0059d4a0 sets both flags true at entry,
0059d4cc/0059d4d0, clearing each independently after ITS OWN first append
within that call, 0059d5ef) - the captures confirm it (new=1 on 9,685/10,556
AM lines, impossible under "first since last drain"). acdream's deleted
isFirstForList = target.Count == 0 computed the wrong quantifier. One
acdream append already IS one DrawMesh call, so the field carried no
information and its own pin was vacuous (feedback_every_new_pin_must_be_
shown_to_fail) - deleted rather than kept as an always-true no-op.
M5: split all six AlphaFlushTranscript_* KnownFailure Facts into live
AlphaFlushSites_* (site+threshold sequence only, content-independent,
unconditional pass) and AlphaFlushCounts_* (KnownFailure, full tuple incl.
drained counts) sharing one RunAlphaFlushTranscriptReplay helper. Rewrote
the KnownFailure reason honestly: THREE independent causes, not "harness
content only" - (1) zero live mesh content, (2) acdream appends one entry
per INSTANCE vs retail's one per SUBSET per DrawMesh call, (3) acdream's
CLIP list is structurally empty for ordinary content (M2). Added ONE live
valve pin (WalkFrameDriverTests.SortCellExit_ValveDrainsThroughReplayAtThe
ExactBoundary, a Theory over 2250/2249) that goes through WalkFrameDriver.
Replay's own SortCellExit arm, not RetailAlphaQueue.Flush called directly.
M2/A2/M8c (register): ~~AP-34~~ restored as struck-through RETIRED (it had
been deleted outright, not struck, breaking the register's own convention)
citing residuals AP-238/AP-239/AP-240. The chunk-2 commit's "AP-236"/
"AP-237" collided with an id ALREADY filed-and-retired on main by an
unrelated #132 fix (docs/ISSUES.md:19976) - ids are never reused, so both
are renumbered: AP-236->AP-238 (EnvCell; rewritten per M6 - granularity-only
residual now, "never through the shared queue" is retired), AP-237->AP-239
(mask-reconstruction gap; the dangling "AP-236b" citation in
RetailAlphaMeshRouter.cs never matched either filed id and is corrected to
AP-239). New AP-240 filed for M2: WbDrawDispatcher.IsOpaque filters
ClipMap out upstream, so ordinary clip-mapped content never reaches
retail's CLIP FIFO (draws immediately on the pre-existing
OpaqueAlphaToCoverage pipeline instead) - no pipeline change this round,
per the contract. AP section header recounted honestly: 159 active (was
stale at 161); AD section 92 (was 91, +AD-120).
M7: AP-239's only cited example (cloud GfxObj 0x01004C35, surface
0x08000023) is DISPROVEN - decoded Type=0x10114 has alpha-family bits
that win in BOTH retail's real priority and acdream's reconstruction, so it
never actually diverges. A 2026-09-04 scan of all 6,152 Portal-dat Surfaces
found 27 real Translucent+Base1ClipMap-no-alpha-family instances
(Type=0x14); cross-referencing GfxObjs found surface 0x08000015 on GfxObj
0x010001EC - cited in place of the disproven cloud example.
M8: (a) RenderDeviceD3D::DrawBlock is @0x005a17c0 per symbols.json, not
@0x005a18d0 (that is its per-land-cell loop head) - fixed across
RetailAlphaQueue.cs, RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs, WalkEvents.cs,
WalkFrameDriver.cs (x3), RetailFrameWalk.cs. (b) RetailAlphaQueue.cs's four
FlushAlphaList addresses were labelled "return site" but are the CALL
instruction's own address (x86 CALL rel32 is 5 bytes) - relabelled "call at
X (returns to X+5)". (d) worldbuilder-inventory.md:420's AP-34 citation
updated.
A1: RetailPViewRenderer.cs's outdoor-root passes.FlushLandscapeAlpha() call
(labelled LandscapeFlush) is deleted - retail's real LandscapeFlush
(PView::DrawCells @0x005a4840's own FlushAlphaList(0f) @0x005a4872) sits
strictly inside if (outside_view.view_count > 0) on the INTERIOR PView; an
outdoor root never reaches it (terrace-edge capture: zero 005a4877 FL
lines). Verified no opaque draw intervenes between this deletion point and
RetailAlphaQueue.EndFrame()'s own RenderNormalMode pass-end flush
(WorldSceneRenderer.cs: DrawPostWorldParticles's PView branch is an
explicit no-op; only diagnostic wireframes follow) - #132's "drain after
the finished opaque world" invariant is kept by that flush alone.
A4: RetailAlphaQueue's ApplyScratchRetention call sites passed the ENTRY
count as the SOURCE-count argument too (observedClip + observedAlpha
twice), so _sources/_sourceDrawOffsets never shrank toward the real source
count. Fixed to capture _sources.Count before Clear().
A5/A6/A7: WalkStaticStreamPopulatorTests.cs's stale "same viewer distance"
banner corrected; two off-by-one entry counts in the packet's section 10
sequences corrected (foundry-deep x10->x11, holtburg-doorway-still x5->x6);
WalkAlphaDepthTrace.cs's "new=" comment explains why IsNew is retained but
never compared (M4's finding makes a per-subset comparison meaningless at
acdream's per-instance granularity); RetailAlphaMeshRouterTests.cs's
IndependentReferenceRoute (never actually independently-shaped) renamed to
RestatedBranchTableRoute with an honest doc comment, and the unverified
"flipped in turn and failed every time" claim deleted.
A3 was resolved as a side effect of M1's SubmitToAlphaQueue doc-comment
rewrite (the wrong "0x02/0x03, 0x04/0x05, 0x08/0x09" enumeration no longer
exists); RetailAlphaMeshRouter.cs's own MaskFromTranslucencyKind comment
updated in the same spirit (M1's particle-site Opaque-reachability finding).
Mutation checks (each applied to a scratch-restored copy, confirmed
failing, then byte-exact reverted - diffed against a /tmp backup after
restore):
- A1 (RetailPViewRendererTests.DrawInside_NeverCallsFlushLandscapeAlphaDirectly):
restoring the deleted "if (ctx.RootCell.IsOutdoorNode)
passes.FlushLandscapeAlpha();" line reintroduces a direct
RetailPViewPassExecutor.FlushLandscapeAlpha call in DrawInside's compiled
body. Actual failure: "Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Filter matched in
collection ... CompiledCall { ... Target = Void FlushLandscapeAlpha() }".
- A4 (RetailAlphaQueueTests.RetainedSourceCapacity_ConvergesToTheReal
SourceCountNotTheEntryCount): reverting both ApplyScratchRetention calls
to (observedClip + observedAlpha, observedClip + observedAlpha) - with
100 distinct sources in the spike frame (so _sources.Capacity grows to
128, past its initial 4) followed by three low-demand frames of 10
entries via ONE repeated source - makes sourceTarget compute from 10
(Math.Max(4,10*2)=20) instead of 1 (Math.Max(4,1*2)=4). Actual failure:
"Expected the retained source-array capacity to converge toward the real
source count (1), but it stayed at 20". (A single-source-only spike does
NOT discriminate this bug - Math.Min(sourceTarget, _sources.Capacity)
clamps both formulas to the same unchanged initial 4 - hence the
100-source setup.)
- M5 valve (WalkFrameDriverTests.SortCellExit_ValveDrainsThroughReplayAt
TheExactBoundary, 2250 case): flipping RetailAlphaQueue.Flush's no-op
comparison from "<" to "<=" (S4-c1/c2's own boundary mutation) makes the
2250-entries case a no-op instead of draining. Actual failure:
"Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ Expected: 0 Actual: 2250".
- M6 (EnvCellAlphaDrawSourceTests, both Facts): adding an immediate
renderTransparentOrdered(new[]{cellId}) call inside
EnvCellAlphaDrawSource.AddPendingCellId (simulating the M1/M3 "drew
immediately instead of deferring" bug class) makes
PendingCellToken_IsDrainedAtTheFlushAndNeverBeforeIt fail with
"Assert.Empty() Failure: Collection was not empty Collection: [[4660]]"
and ParticleAppendedBetweenTwoCellTokens_KeepsItsPositionInTheCombined
Drain fail with 'Expected: string[] ["cell:256", "particle:7",
"cell:512"] Actual: List<string> ["cell:256", "cell:512", "cell:256",
"particle:7", "cell:512"]'.
- M1 (ParticleRendererRouteTests.OpaqueClassifiedMeshBatch_WithMaterialAlpha
_RoutesToAlphaAppend): hardcoding materialHasAlpha to false inside
RouteParticleSubmission makes the Opaque-mask+has-alpha case route
Immediate instead of Append. Actual failure: "Assert.Equal() Failure:
Values differ Expected: Append Actual: Immediate".

Replaces the single scope-global distance-sorted RetailAlphaQueue with
retail's own two independent FIFO lists (CLIP/ALPHA, capacity 3000 each,
D3DPolyRender::AddMeshToAlphaList's exact append-only/capacity-drop
behavior — Ghidra-verified 2026-09-04), routed by a new
RetailAlphaMeshRouter porting DrawMesh's five-row immediate/delayed
branch table and ConstructMesh's subset-mask formula as pure functions,
and drained at retail's four normal-world FlushAlphaList sites
(DrawBuilding/DrawBlock/PView::DrawCells/RenderNormalMode) under the
exact Ghidra-verified no-op predicate (both counts strictly below
threshold*3000). A new WalkFrameEventKind.SortCellExit /
IWalkEventSink.OnSortCellExit / IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.FlushSortCellExit
fires once per admitted land-block cell for DrawBlock's 0.75f valve,
pinned by a dedicated far/near ordering test in RetailFrameWalkTests.cs.
WbDrawDispatcher's two submit sites and ParticleRenderer's one route
through the router; since none of the three ever draws during the Sky
leaf, installs a detail surface, or sets MultiPassAlpha, rows 1/2/4/5
are provably unreachable there and the call sites assert loudly rather
than building unexercisable immediate-draw plumbing. FlushFartherThan,
RetailAlphaOrdering.ComputeViewerDistance, and every viewerDistance
argument on the submit path are deleted.
Scope note (packet s4-depth-alpha-packet.md §10): C4 (routing EnvCell's
transparent shell batches through the shared queue) was not attempted —
EnvCell draws one per-cell MultiDrawIndexedIndirect call with no
per-subset deferred-replay abstraction, and building one without visual
verification (no graphical client in this worktree) was judged out of
this bounded chunk's scope. AP-34 is therefore retired and replaced by
two narrower rows rather than deleted outright: AP-236 (the carried-
forward EnvCell-immediate residual) and AP-237 (a newly identified gap:
TranslucencyKind.AlphaBlend can arise from either retail's Alpha/
Translucent bits, mask 0x02/ALPHA, or the Translucent+ClipMap "cloud"
override, mask 0x08/CLIP — GroupKey doesn't retain the raw bit to tell
them apart, so the router always picks ALPHA; only known example is
cloud GfxObj 0x01004C35). Both are compositing-order-only divergences,
never blend/visual ones.
Mutation checks (each applied, confirmed failing, then reverted):
- FIFO drain order reversed -> 5 RetailAlphaQueueTests fail (order).
- FlushAlphaList `<` -> `<=` -> boundary/scratch tests fail (2250 case
reads drained=0 instead of 2250).
- Capacity check loosened (3000 -> 6000) -> overflow-drop test fails
(TryAppend returns true, PendingCount reads 3001).
- IsFirstForList forced true -> flag test fails once inspected on the
pre-flush two-entry snapshot (the post-flush single-survivor version
of this test was vacuous and rewritten).
- Router row 3 condition inverted -> both the hand-traced Theory (6
cases) and the 160-cell independent-truth-table brute force fail (20
mismatches).
- SortCellExit emitted before OnLandscapeCellTurn instead of after ->
RetailFrameWalkTests ordering pin fails ("SCX must immediately follow
its own cell's SC").
- Prepare-per-list instead of prepare-once-combined -> the CLIP/ALPHA
boundary batching test throws (index out of range).
Gates: Release build 0 warnings/0 errors. Hermetic lane (Lane!=Installed

(AlphaFlushTranscript_*_MatchesRetailFrame2, one per capture) extending
this gate from PM/PC to AM/FL: the flush SITE+THRESHOLD sequence matches
the capture exactly for all six poses (including zero SortCellExit
drains in every capture, confirming the 0.75 valve is inert at these
scene complexities in both retail and this replay); the drained-COUNT-
per-list dimension diverges because this hermetic harness (matching the
existing PM/PC gate's own EmptyAlphaDepthWorldData design) carries no
live GfxObj/particle content, so every observed count reads (0,0)
against retail's real per-frame volume — both sequences quoted in full
per pose in the packet's new §10. Shader classes (VulkanShaderDescriptor

Record attempt 1's shader-source-hash contract conflict and permit only the deterministic manifest/paired vertex-SPIR-V closure needed by the required comment correction.
Start attempt 1/5 as an evidence-and-comment-only repair of a094bf2b7. Preserve behavior, assertions, shader/SPIR-V, register, package, sequential review, and no-landing-before-dual-PASS constraints.
Record a094bf2b7 as behaviorally retail-clean but unlanded because the binding evidence/prose contract failed. Preserve the sequential-review stop: the production lens did not run, no graphical gate ran, and G3/G4 remain unpassed.
Record the owner override after the required stop and bind the one-attempt repair to exact EnvCell pass membership, retail CLIP state, bounded source scratch, and production-path discriminators. Keep G3/G4 unpassed and the implementation unlanded pending dual review.
The 'empty plane under fog' frame the S4-c1 capture-pose self-gates produced
at frame 15 is the terrain seen from below by a falling player, not a draw
change: the camera probe holds playerCell=0xA9B4013F at (134.07,17.36) while
z drops 96 -> -20 m after materialization. The S3-state run had seated the
same request outdoors in 0xA9B40029 and stood. Placement is not the campaign's
domain; the gate pose is moved so the G3 frame is deterministic and the
original pose is kept in the issue as the reproduction. #462 recurrence on
the pre-S4 control build noted.

The two-list/router/flush core of 048d5b12f is exact at the bytes; the
failures are at the call sites (a data-driven row 5 turned into a throw;
detail-surface input hardcoded false while the drain applies detail),
the register (the structurally empty CLIP list is undeclared; AP-237's
example is wrong; AP-34 not retired by convention), the first-for-list
quantifier, the all-KnownFailure gate, and the skipped C4 that turns out
to be bounded.

Written for a fresh session on another account: read order, exact tips and
worktrees, what S1-S4-c1 landed with their proof, how to find the state of
the chunk 2 implementer dispatched this morning, the #464 attribution plan
(RenderDoc pixel history on the scripted artifact frame - the lead's own
job once ACE is up), the Holtburg doorway frame read, tooling gotchas, and a
paste-prompt.

The 2026-09-03 session landed S4 chunk 1 at 766f9e749 but ran out of
credits before writing the ledger row: round-2 lens verdicts, the landing
gates, the two capture-pose self-gates whose Holtburg doorway frame came
up as an empty plane under fog, the lead's read of that frame (the client
seated the player in the house-interior cell at the doorway threshold, so
the frame roots indoors with the eye outside), the crashed pre-S4 control,
and the S4-c2 dispatch that died with no commit.

Round 2 (9ba8f013e) passed the retail and production lenses and every gate
and mutation was reproduced by all three; the gate-honesty lens failed it
on comment truth only: the terrace-edge Fact repeated round 1's false
'PC already matched' sentence, the sixth Fact claimed a 12/4 guard split
and a preamble seed the gate does not evaluate, and WalkVisibilityMath's
scan note cited a pin that does not exist and a callers argument that
was not the real justification. A third implementer round is barred by
the campaign rule, so the lead corrected the sentences at landing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 1 (2bd353234) was three-lens reviewed: retail-faithful PASS,
production PASS, gate-honesty FAIL. Every finding landed on the
terrace-edge KnownFailure row plus one pin gap. This is the last round.
R2-1 - gate honesty. WalkTraceConformanceTests.AlphaDepthTranscript.cs's
own KnownFailure doc comment claimed "the PC sequence matches exactly";
it never did - Assert.Equal(expected.PmEvents, actualPm) threw first, so
the PC Assert.Equal line never ran. RunAlphaDepthTranscriptGate now
computes BOTH diffs (SequenceEqual, not Assert.Equal) before asserting
either, and Assert.Fail's message prints both sequences together
whenever either diverges - a written claim about one sequence is now
only ever one this method actually evaluated. Re-running the OLD
(unseeded, cold PortalsDrawnCount=0) code path through this new combined
assertion shows terrace-edge's real divergence was WORSE than round 1
believed: both PM and PC diverged (PC expected counter=2, actual
counter=0) - round 1's "PC matches" claim was not just untested, it was
false.
R2-2 - the harness fix. Retail's portalsDrawnCount (wo(008719b4)) is a
PERSISTENT session global; each capture's own FIRST PM or PC line
(cathedral-arrival 0, cathedral-leak 0, foundry-deep 1,
holtburg-doorway-still 2, terrace-edge 2, cathedral-stair-arch 8) already
carries the pre-capture value - terrace-edge's own sample sits in the
"F 1" preamble text a cdb session prints before the first parsed frame
marker (line 1209, ahead of "F 1" at line 1298), so no amount of
replaying the CAPTURED frames from a cold start can ever reach it (this
fixture's own turns never touch the counter - every PC line reads
ov=0). New WalkAlphaDepthTrace.LoadInitialCounter(root, fixtureName)
scans a fixture's raw lines, ignoring frame boundaries, for the first
PM/PC match and returns its counter. RunAlphaDepthTranscriptGate seeds
WalkFrameDriver.PortalsDrawnCount (already an internal, test-assembly-
settable field) from this value, runs ONE Collect+Replay pass, and
deletes the two-pass "priming" replay outright. Result: terrace-edge
turns GREEN with no KnownFailure tag; every other pose stays exact
(a fixture with real steady-state seal activity computes the identical
value a priming pass used to converge to, since a steady state is by
definition unchanged by one more pass). No pose diverges after seeding,
so the packet's "write the divergence into section 9" fallback never
triggers - nothing needed there this round.
R2-3 - the SOME-vs-SAME-plane discriminator. T2's existing five cases
never separated retail's real quantifier ("every vertex lies on the SAME
one of the four +/-12 planes") from a weaker "every vertex lies on SOME
plane" (per-vertex OR across the four planes, ANDed across vertices) -
the existing split-plane case's third vertex sits on NO plane at all, so
both readings admit it for the same reason. New case in
WalkVisibilityMathTests.cs
(Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_every_vertex_is_on_SOME_plane_but_not_the_SAME_one)
and a fourth sink.OnPunchGeometry call in WalkFrameDriverTests.cs's
OnPunchGeometry_RejectsOnlyWhenEveryVertexSharesOnePlane_ButPunchesAnyOtherShape
pin close the gap: [(12,0,3),(0,12,3),(12,5,3)] - every vertex touches
SOME plane (vertex1/3 on x=+12, vertex2 on y=+12) but no SINGLE plane
holds all three (x=+12 cleared by vertex2's x=0, y=+12 cleared by
vertex1's y=0) - retail's real four-accumulator guard admits it; the
weaker per-vertex-OR form rejects it.
R2-4 - the sixth pose. Cherry-picked 4f12cd06b (walk+alphadepth capture)
and 3a6aa7eef (pmverts capture) from claude/campaign-w-retail-frame-walk
onto 2bd353234 - both applied clean, no conflicts (README.md merged
without a manual row). New
AlphaDepthTranscript_CathedralStairArch_MatchesRetailFrame2 Fact: root
0xF4180114, seven outside views, sixteen mode=1 building punches (all
counterBefore=0008 - far-Z punches never touch the counter) of which
twelve are guard-rejected on local y=12.000, then eight mode=0 exit
seals with counterBefore running 0..7 against the root's own ov=7
read-then-zero, settling this fixture's own steady-state counter at 8 -
exactly the value LoadInitialCounter reads back out of its own preamble.
PASS.
R2-5 - comment truth. (a) RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs:
DrawPortalDepthWrite's and DrawExitPortalMask's summaries corrected -
neither the retired ">=3 vertices" pre-filter nor "always matches what
reached the GPU" describe F2's actual count-before-clip behavior any
more. (b) The F2 pin's doc comment
(RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawExitPortalMask_CountsAnUnclippableTwoVertexPolygon_ButDrawsNothing)
named TWO alternative mutations as if both failed; verified only one
does (see mutations below) - the doc comment now says so explicitly and
keeps only the pre-filter mutation. (c) WalkVisibilityMath.cs's doc
comment stated DAT-scan figures as bare facts; independently re-verified
this round with a freshly-written scan (own code, walking the same
production EnvCell.CellPortals/CellStruct.Polygons shape
WalkCellFactory itself uses, over the full 0x0000-0xFFFF landblock-prefix
range) - every cited figure reproduced bit-exact (3,405 landblocks with
cells; 1,854,237 portal polygons; 2,889 any-vertex; 2,163 all-on-plane,
all exit, 0 interior; 16,939 exit portals total, 1,837,298 interior) -
so the doc comment now states the counting rule (id range, what's
counted, how unresolvable polygons/cells are skipped) alongside every
figure instead of leaving them unqualified; landblocksWithCells=3,405
also independently matches CellStructSurfaceConstructionInstalledDatTests'
own OH2 walk of the identical range (that test's own golden-count
comment). The scratch scan itself is not part of this diff (deleted
after use, same as F1's own datScan). (d) This commit body does not
cite "register tests" as evidence - no test reads the register.
Register truth is the human read: no row changes, AD-119 (the C2
blend-vs-write-mask row) unchanged.
Mutations run this round (all verified against production code, then
reverted):
- R2-1/R2-2 (disable seeding, driver.PortalsDrawnCount = 0 instead of
initialCounter): AlphaDepthTranscript_TerraceEdge_MatchesRetailFrame2
fails - "terrace-edge.alphadepth: PM DIVERGES - expected
[(mode=1,counterBefore=2), (mode=1,counterBefore=2)], actual
[(mode=1,counterBefore=0), (mode=1,counterBefore=0)]; PC DIVERGES -
expected [(ov=0,counter=2,fc=0), (ov=0,counter=2,fc=0)], actual
[(ov=0,counter=0,fc=0), (ov=0,counter=0,fc=0)]" - proving both the
seeding fix (R2-2) and the honest dual-sequence message (R2-1) at
once.
- R2-3 (replace the four per-plane accumulators with a single
per-vertex "on ANY plane" test ANDed across vertices):
Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_every_vertex_is_on_SOME_plane_but_not_the_SAME_one
fails, Assert.False() Expected:False Actual:True;
OnPunchGeometry_RejectsOnlyWhenEveryVertexSharesOnePlane_ButPunchesAnyOtherShape
fails, Assert.Equal() Expected:3 Actual:2.
- R2-5b, mutation ONE (restore the old `localVertices.Length < 3`
pre-filter ahead of the guard):
DrawExitPortalMask_CountsAnUnclippableTwoVertexPolygon_ButDrawsNothing
fails, Assert.Equal() Expected:1 Actual:0 - kept as the pin's cited
mutation.
- R2-5b, mutation TWO (move `submitted++` to AFTER
`_portalDepthMask.DrawDepthFan(...)` instead of before): same test
STILL PASSES - DrawDepthFan has no effect on the local `submitted`
counter, so the final returned value is identical regardless of
which side of that call the increment sits on. Confirmed unobservable
exactly as R2-5b required; the doc comment no longer names this as a
failing mutation.

Three-lens review of c7ab5b6d8 found the round-0 port of
DrawPortalPolyInternal's degenerate-input guard inverted retail's
quantifier: it rejected a polygon when ANY vertex sat on ANY of the
four +/-12 planes. The PDB-paired bytes (VA 0x59BCD6-0x59BD66: four
per-plane fld/fcomp 12.0/fnstsw/test ah,0x44/jnp sequences, each
accumulating a "every vertex on this plane" boolean, cleared by the
first vertex NOT on it) and the named decomp's own nested-if reading
of the post-loop branch (0x59bd42-0x59bd6c) agree: retail rejects only
when EVERY local vertex lies on the SAME one of the four planes — a
polygon degenerate onto a plane, not one that merely touches a plane
at one vertex.
F1 — the quantifier. WalkVisibilityMath.IsRejectedByPortalPolygonBoundaryGuard
now tracks four booleans (everyVertexOnPlusX/MinusX/PlusY/MinusY), each
starting true and cleared by the first vertex that fails its own plane
test; the guard rejects iff any of the four survives the whole vertex
loop. T2 (WalkVisibilityMathTests.cs) is rewritten to the five §7
cases: every vertex on x=+12 -> rejected; every vertex on y=-12 ->
rejected; one vertex on x=+12, rest inside -> KEPT; every vertex at
11.999 -> kept; vertices split across x=+12 and y=+12 (no common
plane) -> kept. WalkFrameDriverTests' punch-side pin
(OnPunchGeometry_RejectsOnlyWhenEveryVertexSharesOnePlane_ButPunchesAnyOtherShape)
carries the same correction — its old "one vertex on the plane"
polygon was wrongly rejected under round 0; it punches now, and a new
all-on-plane polygon is added as the actual rejected case. The doc
comment's "essentially never" sentence is deleted and replaced with a
fresh DAT-scan citation (see datScan below).
MUTATION (verified): restore the any-vertex form -> the one-vertex and
split-plane admit cases fail (Assert.False Expected:False Actual:True,
x2; the WalkFrameDriverTests punch pin's Assert.Equal Expected:2
Actual:1). Delete the guard (always return false) -> the all-on-plane
reject cases fail (Assert.True Expected:True Actual:False, x3 —
plusX-plane, minusY-plane, and the vacuous-empty-polygon pin; the
punch pin's Assert.Equal Expected:2 Actual:3).
datScan (DAT counts backing F1's doc comment): a throwaway xunit test
(deleted after this commit — not part of the diff) walked the full
0x0000-0xFFFF landblock-prefix space (LandBlockInfo/EnvCell carry no
usable DatCollection.GetAllIdsOfType range — both are landblock-
relative — matching the method CellStructSurfaceConstructionInstalledDatTests
already established), resolved each EnvCell's Environment/CellStruct,
and for every CellPortal's polygon tested each vertex's local x/y
against +/-12. Against the installed client_cell_1.dat: 3,405
landblocks with cells, 1,854,237 total portal polygons. 2,889 polygons
have at least one vertex on a +/-12 plane; 2,163 have EVERY vertex on
the SAME plane — all 2,163 are EXIT portals (OtherCellId==0xFFFF, out
of 16,939 exit portals total); 0 interior (non-exit) portals ever
qualify (interior: 1,837,298 total, 340 any-vertex, 0 all-on-plane).
Duration ~15s. This exactly reproduces the review's cited numbers.
F2 — seal-path count order. RetailPViewPassExecutor's exit-seal loop
dropped the `localVertices.Length < 3` pre-filter that ran BEFORE both
the boundary guard and the `submitted` increment (round 0's order:
length check -> guard -> transform -> draw -> count). Retail's real
order is guard -> transform -> clip -> count, with the counter
incremented BEFORE polyClipFinish runs (0x59BD70-0x59BD74 precedes
0x59BDB0) — the counter records accepted ATTEMPTS, not successful GPU
fans. `submitted++` now runs immediately after the guard-gated
transform+EmitSeamMask, before DrawDepthFan (whose own `< 3` guard is
this port's stand-in for retail's post-clip `var_4 >= 3` check). A new
pin (RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawExitPortalMask_CountsAnUnclippableTwoVertexPolygon_ButDrawsNothing)
constructs a real PortalDepthMaskRenderer (RecordingGpuDevice-backed)
and a constructor-bypassed executor (RuntimeHelpers.GetUninitializedObject,
the same pattern WalkOutsideViewReassemblyTests already uses) with a
2-vertex ordinary-coordinate portal polygon: DrawExitPortalMask returns
submitted=1 while zero draw calls reach the device.
MUTATION (verified): restore the `< 3` pre-filter ahead of the guard
-> the pin's Assert.Equal fails, Expected:1 Actual:0.
F3 — the depth-event transcript gate, automated. New
WalkAlphaDepthTrace.cs (beside WalkOracleTrace.cs) parses the four
`PM poly=<ptr> mode=<0|1> counterBefore=<hex>` / `PC ov=<n>
counter=<hex> fc=<0|1>` lines per oh-capture/*.alphadepth.log frame,
using the same F-marker frame delimiting as WalkOracleTrace. New
WalkTraceConformanceTests.AlphaDepthTranscript.cs (beside
WalkTraceConformanceTests.cs, which is now `partial`) replays each
pose's frame 2 through the real WalkFrameDriver/RetailFrameWalk over
WalkLandscapeDatBuilder-built installed-DAT world data, with:
- AlphaDepthCollectSink: an IWalkEventSink decorator forwarding every
hook to the real driver unchanged, while recording mode=1 punch
events (OnPunchGeometry, counterBefore = driver.PortalsDrawnCount
at COLLECT time — Collect finishes entirely before Replay starts,
so reading the counter at Replay time would already see the SAME
turn's post-reset value; holtburg-doorway-still's own capture
proves this: its punches show counterBefore=2 immediately followed
by its seals' counterBefore=0/1 in the identical turn) and every
PC tuple (Emit, WalkEventKind.DrawCells — fires for the root's own
turn AND every building look-in's re-entrant call, matching
retail's breakpoint not distinguishing them).
- AlphaDepthLeaf: an IWalkFrameLeafRenderer whose DrawExitSeals
reproduces DrawPortalDepthWrite's real per-portal loop (F1's guard,
F2's count-before-clip order) directly over
driver.InteriorFloodCells / WalkCell.Portals / .PortalPolygons —
the identical data the render-side production path reads — since
the interface gives DrawExitSeals no cell/portal parameter at all.
- Two Collect+Replay passes per pose (a fresh driver reaches the SAME
steady-state a running session already carries by the time
retail's capture began — holtburg-doorway-still and foundry-deep
both show a stable per-frame accepted-seal count that regenerates
identically every captured frame): the first pass's own output is
discarded, only the second is compared.
Five Facts (one per pose — the spec's "four" undercounts the five
*.alphadepth.log files actually present in oh-capture/):
AlphaDepthTranscript_CathedralArrival_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
AlphaDepthTranscript_CathedralLeak_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
AlphaDepthTranscript_FoundryDeep_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
AlphaDepthTranscript_HoltburgDoorwayStill_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
(proves the incrementing 0/1/2 accepted-seal sequence AND the
pre-reset counterBefore=2 punches, end to end, against real DAT
portal data)
AlphaDepthTranscript_TerraceEdge_MatchesRetailFrame2 — KnownFailure
(tagged [Trait("Status","KnownFailure")]): terrace-edge never runs
a qualifying interior turn in its own capture (every PC line reads
ov=0) — its punches' counterBefore=2 is a session value carried
over from BEFORE the capture even started (the file's own pre-"F 1"
content already reads 2; nothing inside the captured frames ever
touches the counter). A fresh two-pass replay from
PortalsDrawnCount=0 has no mechanism to derive that leftover value.
Printed divergence: expected [(mode=1,counterBefore=2) x2], actual
[(mode=1,counterBefore=0) x2]; the PC sequence (ov=0 both times)
matches exactly. An initial-condition gap in the fixture, not a
guard/count defect — the identical harness reproduces holtburg-
doorway-still's and foundry-deep's own steady states exactly from
cold starts.
MUTATION (verified): swap AlphaDepthLeaf's recorded seal mode from 0
to 1 -> AlphaDepthTranscript_HoltburgDoorwayStill_MatchesRetailFrame2
fails (Assert.Equal Collections differ at pos 5: expected
(0,0),(0,1)... actual (1,0),(1,1)...).
DispatcherFixture and DrawScope (WalkFrameDriverTests.cs) are widened
from private to internal so the new gate can drive a real
WbDrawDispatcher without duplicating that fixture.
F4 — manifest comment truth. VulkanShaderManifestTests.cs's
portal_depth.vert.spv re-pin comment had the ULP direction backward
(claimed the OLD 0x3F7FFFFE literal was NEARER the camera than
retail's real 0x3F7FFFEF constant; portal_depth.vert's own shader-
source comment already had this correct — FARTHER, larger z/w) and
cited T1 as living in WalkVisibilityMathTests when
PortalDepthVert_FarPunchConstant_MatchesRetailExactBits is in this
same file. Both corrected.

Register: no new AD row. F1/F2 are straight bug fixes toward retail
fidelity (not deviations); AD-119 (the C2 blend-vs-write-mask row)

correction per F2's own instruction.
Deviation from the fix-round spec's literal text: §7 F1 said "swap the
any-vertex hits instead of the four per-plane accumulators" as the
split-plane case's mutation — the code actually ported uses per-vertex
`if (x != 12f) flag = false;` clears, not a per-vertex OR; the mutation
verified above (restore the any-vertex FORM entirely) exercises the
same defect class and is the mutation actually run. §7 also names
"four" alphadepth.log fixtures where five exist on disk
(cathedral-arrival, cathedral-leak, foundry-deep,
holtburg-doorway-still, terrace-edge); all five are gated rather than
four, with cathedral-leak an unremarked addition alongside the four
the spec names.

S3 chunk 2 already landed the persistent portalsDrawnCount latch, the
gated clear, the exit-seal counting, and the look-in isolation — this
chunk covers only what §1/§2 of the packet name as still owed: C0-C3.
C0 — far-punch depth constant (R1: DrawPortalPolyInternal @0x0059bc90's
tail). portal_depth.vert's punch branch carried the decimal 0.99999988,
which reinterprets as bits 0x3F7FFFFE — fifteen ULPs FARTHER from the
camera than retail's real constant, bits 0x3F7FFFEF. Now writes
`uintBitsToFloat(0x3F7FFFEFu)` so the exact bits survive the GLSL/SPIR-V
compiler instead of trusting a decimal literal to round-trip unchanged.
Recompiled via tools/compile-shaders.ps1 (glslc 1.4.350.0 backend
recorded, managed shaderc path used); portal_depth.vert.spv's SHA-256
re-pinned in VulkanShaderManifestTests
(51c60d0924d62c61548efcf5f9e7672a121b1b68ca0a06755e32f1a4d73a8acf,
was 4ac1c452e7ac0d08a32f67fb03f21229af2d1605baa81f407240a3626251dfd7).
T1 (new Fact PortalDepthVert_FarPunchConstant_MatchesRetailExactBits in
VulkanShaderManifestTests.cs): a SOURCE pin — reads portal_depth.vert's
punch line and reinterprets whatever literal it carries (uintBitsToFloat
hex or a plain decimal) as raw bits, asserts == 0x3F7FFFEF. Verified
against the PRE-CHANGE source by hand-reverting the line to
`clipPos.z = clipPos.w * 0.99999988;` and re-running just this test:
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 1065353199
Actual: 1065353214
(1065353199 = 0x3F7FFFEF, 1065353214 = 0x3F7FFFFE). Line restored and
the test re-confirmed green afterward. MUTATION: any other literal fails
the same way.
C1 — the ±12 local-input reject (R2: 0x59BCD6-0x59BD28 then
0x59BD40-0x59BD66). The Ghidra arbitration table in
oh1-depth-lifecycle.md governs over the pseudo-C's own nested-if reading
of the four x87 FCOM results (BinaryNinja's `test ah, 0x44` condition
synthesis is FPU-flag-ambiguous and reads backward at face value — see
feedback_bn_decomp_field_names.md on decompiler flag mush as an artifact
class, not semantics): the table's row says "whole poly on any
local-input x/y == +/-12 boundary is rejected before count/clip" — taken
as written, not re-derived from the pseudo-C's literal branch nesting.
Ported as one shared predicate,
WalkVisibilityMath.IsRejectedByPortalPolygonBoundaryGuard(ReadOnlySpan
<Vector3>): true iff any vertex's X or Y is exactly +12f/-12f (retail
tests LOCAL x/y before xformStart, the world transform). Wired at BOTH
producers that own the LOCAL polygon before it leaves cell/building
space:
- WalkFrameDriver.OnPunchGeometry (the walk's punch-event producer,
IWalkEventSink.OnPunchGeometry) — checked on the building-local
WalkPolygon.Vertices before TransformToWorld; a hit returns before
MarkIfGrown/any event append (retail's reject -> transform -> clip
-> count order).
- RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawPortalDepthWrite (the exit-seal
enumeration behind DrawExitPortalMask, the sole caller) — checked on
cell.PortalPolygons[index]'s local vertices before the
Vector3.Transform loop; a hit `continue`s with no `submitted++`.
T2 (three layers):
1. WalkVisibilityMathTests.cs — direct unit tests of the predicate:
Boundary_guard_rejects_a_polygon_with_one_vertex_exactly_on_plus_minus_12
(Theory, x/y == +-12 each), Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_
nearest_vertex_is_just_inside_12 (Theory, x/y == +-11.999),
Boundary_guard_rejects_the_whole_polygon_even_when_only_one_of_
several_vertices_hits_it, Boundary_guard_ignores_the_vertical_z_
component, Boundary_guard_admits_the_empty_polygon.
2. WalkFrameDriverTests.OnPunchGeometry_RejectsWholePolygonOnExact
PlusMinus12LocalVertex_ButPunchesJustInside — functional: feeds
OnPunchGeometry a polygon with a vertex at x=12 (no PunchFan/no
"PUNCH:" log line) then one at x=11.999 (punches normally,
leaf.Punches has exactly one entry, log has exactly one "PUNCH:3@v0").
3. RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawPortalDepthWrite_RejectsDegenerate
LocalPolygons_BeforeTransformOrSubmission — a real functional test of
DrawPortalDepthWrite needs a live PortalDepthMaskRenderer the suite
has no fake for, so this is a compiled-call-graph pin (this file's
established pattern for exactly this situation): the guard call
precedes both the Vector3.Transform loop and
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.DrawDepthFan by IL offset, gated by a
conditional branch immediately after it.
MUTATION texts, all verified live during this session then reverted:
- OnPunchGeometry_RejectsWholePolygon... with the C1 guard deleted from
OnPunchGeometry:
Assert.Single() Failure: The collection contained 2 items
Collection: [WalkPolygon { Plane = WalkPlane { Normal = <0, 0, 1>, D = -3 }, Vertices = [<0, 0, 3>, <12, 0, 3>, <5, 5, 3>] }, WalkPolygon { Plane = WalkPlane { Normal = <0, 0, 1>, D = -3 }, Vertices = [<0, 0, 3>, <11.999, 0, 3>, <5, 5, 3>] }]
- DrawPortalDepthWrite_RejectsDegenerateLocalPolygons... with the C1
guard deleted from DrawPortalDepthWrite:
Expected call to WalkVisibilityMath.IsRejectedByPortalPolygonBoundaryGuard.
- Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_nearest_vertex_is_just_inside_12
with the predicate widened to `MathF.Abs(x) >= 11.99f ||
MathF.Abs(y) >= 11.99f` (all four rows):
Assert.False() Failure
Expected: False
Actual: True
- Boundary_guard_rejects_a_polygon_with_one_vertex_exactly_on_plus_
minus_12 with the predicate narrowed to strict `x > 12f || x < -12f
|| y > 12f || y < -12f` (all four rows):
Assert.True() Failure
Expected: True
Actual: False
- Boundary_guard_rejects_the_whole_polygon_even_when_only_one_of_
several_vertices_hits_it with the guard checking only
localVertices[0] instead of looping every vertex:
Assert.True() Failure
Expected: True
Actual: False
C2 — no pipeline change for R3 (depth ALWAYS/write/no-cull, color writes
ENABLED with a zero-alpha SRCALPHA/INVSRCALPHA blend). acdream's
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.Rhi.cs:92,100 sets ColorWrite=false alongside
Blend=None; portal_depth.frag writes no color output at all. Provably
pixel-identical (retail's blend collapses to dst'=dst when srcAlpha is
fixed at 0, for any RGB) and the write mask is the SAFER mechanism going
forward (structurally blocks any future accidental color write,
independent of an authored zero-alpha invariant). Added register row
AD-119 to docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md (the next free
id after AD-118), citing DrawPortalPolyInternal @0x0059bc90 and
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.Rhi.cs; section 2's active-row count and running
header note updated (90 -> 91).
C3 — the truth table + cross-frame latch tests. The (root kind,
draw_landscape, outside-view count, previous count) table's cells are
mostly already covered by S3 chunk 2's own tests — this chunk adds only
the genuinely missing rows/cases, and leaves every existing test
untouched:
Pre-existing coverage (named, not reproduced):
- interior, ov==0, prior==0 ->
RunFrame_InteriorFloodWithNoExitView_SkipsLandscapeAndNeverFlushesClearsOrSeals
- interior, ov>0, prior==0 ->
RunFrame_InteriorFloodWithExitView_FreshDriverSkipsTheGatedClearThenDrawsSealsAndFloodCells
and OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_FirstOvFrameSkipsClear_SecondFrameArmedByFirstsSealsClears
(its own frame 1)
- interior, ov>0, prior>0 (T4's "frame 1 seals N>0 -> frame 2
clears" half) ->
OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_FirstOvFrameSkipsClear_SecondFrameArmedByFirstsSealsClears
(its own frame 2)
- T4's "frame 1 seals 0 -> frame 2 does not clear" half (repeated
across three consecutive ov>0 frames, subsuming the two-frame
case) -> OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_FloodWithNoExitPortal_NeverClearsAcrossFrames
- one look-in isolated from the root latch ->
LookInDrawCells_NeitherArmsNorConsumesThePortalsDrawnCounter
No further T4 test was added — the two existing facts above already
prove both halves of the two-consecutive-frames latch case exactly.
New rows added this chunk:
- WalkFrame_OutdoorRoot_NeverFiresTheInteriorClearSealMachinery: root
kind == OUTDOOR. RetailFrameWalk.WalkFrame's outdoor branch
((cameraCellId & 0xFFFF) < 0x100) calls DrawLandscape directly and
never calls DrawInside/OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn at all, so the whole
LFLUSH/stamp/CLEAR/SEALS mechanism structurally cannot fire —
driven end-to-end through RunFrame with an outdoor cameraCellId,
asserting SKY present, LFLUSH/CLEAR/SEALS absent, counter stays 0.
MUTATION (verified, then reverted): added a stray
`sink.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn([], 1);` call to WalkFrame's outdoor
branch:
Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Item found in collection
↓ (pos 1)
Collection: ["SKY", "LFLUSH", "SEALS"]
Found: "LFLUSH"
- OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_OvZeroAfterAPriorArmedCounter_LeavesTheLatch
CompletelyUntouched: interior, ov==0 immediately after an EARLIER
ov>0 frame armed the counter — proves the counter is left EXACTLY
as an earlier frame left it (not merely "not cleared this frame"),
since S3 §8.1 R3 gates the ENTIRE outside_view.view_count>0 block,
including the read-then-zero decision itself, on ov>0.
MUTATION (verified, then reverted): moved
`int armed = PortalsDrawnCount; PortalsDrawnCount = 0;` out of the
`if (outsideViewCount > 0)` gate in
WalkFrameDriver.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn (unconditional
read-then-zero every call):
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 1
Actual: 0
(every OTHER WalkFrameDriverTests fact stayed green under this same
mutation — this new test is the only one that catches it).
- MultipleLookIns_WithinOneFrameAndAcrossFrames_NeverTouchTheRootLatch
(T5): extends the single-look-in fact to TWO look-ins in one frame
then a THIRD in a later frame. MUTATION (verified, then reverted):
a `_mutationLookInCalls` counter in HandleDrawCellsTurn's
LookInStatic branch that resets PortalsDrawnCount on the SECOND
look-in call:
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 1
Actual: 0
— while LookInDrawCells_NeitherArmsNorConsumesThePortalsDrawnCounter
(one look-in only) stayed green under the identical mutation,
confirming this test's incremental value over the existing single-
look-in fact.

Issue #464 needs a repeatable tilted self-gate frame at the cathedral
stair-arch pose, but the automation's `drag at`/`mousemove` verbs only
move the retained-UI cursor — they never reach mouse-look, so every
scripted route replays the DEFAULT camera and can't reproduce the
owner's upward-tilted frame (docs/ISSUES.md #464, the 2026-09-03
22:07 transcript note: "the automation's `drag at` verb does not
drive mouse-look").
Add `mouselook <dx> <dy>`: it calls the SAME
GameplayInputFrameController.QueueRawMouseDelta the real mouse's Silk
MouseMove callback drives (CameraPointerInputController.
ProcessMouseMove), through an injected delegate threaded
RetailUiAutomationScriptRunner <- RetailUiProbeBindings <-
InteractionRetainedUiDependencies.GameplayInputFrame. That last seam
is resolved fresh on every call rather than captured once at mount,
since GameplayInputFrameController is created per live session
(SessionPlayerComposition), strictly after the retained UI composes
and across reconnects — the same never-capture-a-deferred-Func
discipline the secure-trade command-bus regression taught
(claude-memory/feedback_resolve_deferred_funcs_per_call.md).
The delta only takes effect while mouse-look is active (bracket with
`input down`/`up CameraInstantMouseLook`) and one call consumes
exactly one raw sample on the controller's next tick, so a route must
`sleep` between calls — documented on DoMouseLook and the class doc
comment.

Sixteen DrawPortalPolyInternal attempts per frame, vertex-identical to
acdream's sixteen collect-time punches; twelve lie entirely on the local
y=12 plane and are rejected by the ±12 guard in both clients, so the hall
building's doorways are never punched in either.

Retail admits exactly acdream's cells and building-portal groups in the
same order; its alpha-depth frame punches each portal polygon to far depth
right before that group's cells and seals the exit views last. The
capture becomes S4-c1's fifth transcript pose.

Root 0xF4180114 with seven outside views; retail admits the same seven
hall building-portal groups in the same order as acdream, yet shows the
solid far face above the arch. The fifth transcript pose for S4.
