The two gates that decide whether an accepted remote Position is interpolated
or hard-snapped read `Airborne`, which is `!Body.OnWalkable` — WALKABILITY.
Retail reads CONTACT: InterpolationManager::adjust_offset @0x00555D30 gates its
entire body on `transient_state & 1` @0x00555D52, so a retail body in contact
with a non-walkable face still interpolates.
The two predicates disagree in exactly one state — in contact, not on walkable
ground — which 204d0ae0 turned from unreachable into ordinary. Before it, the
per-tick forge made every non-airborne remote walkable by construction, so the
disagreement could not occur.
Both gates now read `!Body.InContact`: ApplyRemoteContactRouting's flight
carve-out and OnPosition's player-remote arm.
`Airborne` is deliberately NOT re-derived from CONTACT. That would perturb all
five of its writers and contradict a pinned assertion in
RemoteTeleportPlacementTests.Apply_PendingGroundToSteepContact_ (InContact:
true, OnWalkable: false -> Assert.True(remote.Airborne)); a previous
implementer attempted it and correctly backed out rather than editing the
assertion. This narrower shape touches no existing test.
AP-140's register row is retired in this commit, as the row itself specified.
Honest scope: this is a faithfulness fix, not a visible one. ACE derives its
IsGrounded flag with the same floor_z test, so during a slide it almost
certainly reports not-grounded, the classifier returns NoPositionOperation, and
neither arm is taken. Expect no observable change against ACE.
Suite 11,027 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 11,023).

A local-player ForcePosition had TWO independent writers for one accepted
packet: LocalForcePositionTransaction snapped the physics body
(PlayerMovementController.BlipPosition, a raw SnapToCell with no collision
resolve), while LiveEntityNetworkUpdateController's generic tail separately
wrote position/cell/rotation to the render WorldEntity from the raw wire and
rebucketed it. Two stores, one packet — the divergence class 670f307c fixed on
the remote path. The outbound AutonomousPosition ack also fired BEFORE any
canonical commit existed: we told ACE "got it, I'm here" before deciding where
"here" was, and the trailing isCurrent() could only suppress the continuation,
never recall the packet.
RuntimeAcceptedPositionDriveController is now the one Runtime-owned seam. Both
hosts call the identical TryExecuteAcceptedLocalPosition; App and headless
project the committed result through the existing placement projection sink
(LiveEntityRuntime.TryApplyRuntimePlacementPlace already performed the same
four writes, from committed state rather than a wire guess).
Retail: SmartBox::HandleReceivedPosition @0x00453FD0's FORCE_POSITION branch is
get_heading -> Frame::set_heading -> SmartBox::BlipPlayer @0x00453940 -> stamp
POSITION_TS -> SendPositionEvent @0x00454091 -> return @0x0045409D. BlipPlayer
is CPhysicsObj::SetPositionSimple @0x005162B0 with flags 0x1012
(Teleport|Slide|SendPositionEvent) — a real collision-resolving SetPosition,
not a snap. The pinned classifier already encoded this exactly.
Named behaviour changes:
* The ack is now an OUTPUT of the committed route, fired strictly after the
canonical commit and exactly once per accepted force packet.
* The ForcePosition route no longer re-arms the constraint leash. The force
branch returns at 0x0045409D, ahead of all three ConstrainTo sites
(0x00454272, 0x0045418A, 0x004541EC); the old re-arm cited retail's "Player,
normal" branch, which BlipPlayer is not on. The teleport, CommitPreparedPosition
and first-entry callers legitimately still constrain and are untouched.
* A force correction that terminates WITHOUT committing still sends its
position event and is not retried — retail's BlipPlayer discards
SetPositionSimple's SetPositionError return and acks unconditionally.
A single _pending funnel owns the in-flight placement, deciding on the token's
PositionAuthorityVersion against the record's: equal -> clear; advanced with the
newest accepted event still a force -> re-issue, re-classified; advanced to an
ordinary Apply -> clear, since newer server truth owns that pose. This closes a
double-apply/double-ack and a silently-dropped correction that two earlier
iterations of this slice each introduced.
AD-62 records the residual: a ForcePosition our async collision publication
cannot carry to a committed placement is not re-applied. Retail has no park —
its world is fully resident and its placement synchronous — so the state is
unreachable there. AP-131 is NOT retired; its legacy Position caller is route 4.

Gates: complete Release solution 10,858 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
10,844/4/0). Two independent Opus reviews (retail-conformance and
architecture/adversarial) PASS on the final diff after three FAIL rounds; every
intermediate state was fully green, so the suite caught none of the four real
defects. Connected acceptance is NOT run: nothing a user can do makes ACE emit
a ForcePosition without retail's @pklite, which acdream does not implement — see
docs/research/2026-08-03-c4-route-2-visual-gate.md.
Known gap, recorded not claimed: the plan's acceptance item 2 is unmet. The App
double-write check is a source pin, and "the committed projection moves the
render entity" is uncovered at any layer (#292). Filed alongside: #286-#291,
#293-#296.

Move Position, Vector, State, Movement, and equal-generation CreateObject routing out of GameWindow while preserving per-channel authority, ForcePosition acknowledgement, and motion-runtime ownership. Add adversarial authority and exact-wire coverage so reentrant updates and GUID reuse cannot publish stale state.
