Retail CPhysicsObj::RemoveLinkAnimations (0x0050fe20) is a tailcall to
CPartArray::HandleEnterWorld (0x00517d70) -> MotionTableManager::
HandleEnterWorld (0x0051bdd0): remove_all_link_animations PLUS a full
pending_animations drain (while (head) AnimationDone(0)), each pop
relaying MotionDone so CMotionInterp pops its pending_motions node in
lockstep. acdream bound the seam to the bare sequence strip, so every
jump's LeaveGround removed the animations that queued manager nodes
were counting down on — orphaning them (NumAnims>0, anims gone) and
permanently damming BOTH queues. MotionsPending() then never drained
(probe round: last player pending=False at the first MovementJump
press; old jump motions still completing at rest minutes later) and
BeginTurnToHeading/BeginMoveForward's verbatim motions_pending gates
starved every armed moveto: ACE's mt-6 walk-to-door armed but the body
never walked (wire-proven, seqs 98-101); the close-range use turn
never completed so the deferred action was silently eaten. Doors only
worked on a fresh session (shallow queue).
Rebind both production sites (remote EnsureRemoteMotionBindings +
the player's EnterPlayerModeNow block) to Manager.HandleEnterWorld();
the sequencer wrapper was a pure passthrough so the manager call is a
strict superset. All six interp seam sites (LeaveGround, HitGround,
Dead, and the detached-object guards) are the same retail chain.
Harness mirrors updated; pins: Issue174LinkStripDrainTests (the seam
drains both queues; fresh motions queue and complete after). Suites:
Core 2535 / App 713 / UI 425 / Net 385 green.

Retail's apply_interpreted_movement (0x00528600) does NOT dispatch with
ctor-default MovementParameters: the BN decomp smears the bitfield store
into the mush expression at raw 305778 - (word & 0x37ff) | cancelMoveTo<<15
| disableJump<<17 - which CLEARS SetHoldKey/ModifyInterpretedState/
CancelMoveTo. ACE MotionInterp.cs:444-449 confirms independently. Three
legs fixed, all retail decode, no adaptations added:
1. ApplyInterpretedMovement now builds the pass params retail actually
uses (ModifyInterpretedState=false is load-bearing): no dispatch in the
pass writes InterpretedState, so the airborne Falling substitution
PRESERVES the wire's forward command and HitGround's re-apply
dispatches it - the motion table plays the Falling->X landing link.
The W6 entry-cache (built on the wrong "retail self-heals via hoisted
registers" theory) is deleted; live reads are retail semantics. Raw
arg3 decoded as DisableJumpDuringLink -> every (N,0) caller means
allowJump=true; all 9 caller polarities fixed. copy_movement_from's
current_style copy (raw 0051e757) added to the UM flat-copy.
2. Both GameWindow landing blocks cleared the Gravity state bit BEFORE
Motion.HitGround(), whose verbatim state&0x400 gate then no-opped the
whole retail re-apply; the UP-driven landing block never called
HitGround at all. Both now run HitGround (minterp then moveto,
MovementManager::HitGround 0x00524300 order) with Gravity still set,
then do the DR bookkeeping clear (register row AP-81 added for the
remaining flag dance, retire in R6).
3. K-fix17's forced SetCycle (both copies) deleted: it executed every
landing but read the leg-1-clobbered ForwardCommand (0x40000015) and
re-set the very Falling cycle it meant to clear.
Tests: new HitGround_AfterFall_RedispatchesPreservedForward_ExitsFalling
lifecycle pin; AirborneBody state assertion flipped (it had pinned the
bug value). Suite 3,964 green incl. the 183-case retail-observer trace.
Filed #164 (action-replay Autonomous bit, no current consumer).
Awaiting live verify: stand-still landing must exit the falling pose with
zero wire input.

The c2dc1a88 wedge fix paired every StopCompletely A9 node with a
completable motion-table type-5 entry via DefaultSink?.StopCompletely()
- but EnterPlayerModeNow called the initial SetPosition (whose teleport
idle is StopCompletely, R3-W6) BEFORE the sequencer/DefaultSink bind
block, so the login A9 node dispatched against a NULL sink and stayed
an orphan. Head-pop-any semantics mean a queue with one orphan never
reaches empty again (later completions just relabel the backlog), so
MotionsPending stayed true at every UseTime and the MoveToManager's
retail wait-for-anims gate (BeginTurnToHeading) never opened: every
server MoveTo armed (movingTo=True, Initialized=True, tracker fed,
node plan built) and the body never moved.
Pinned live by the [autowalk-gate] probe: type=MoveToObject init=True
contact=True motionsPending=True pm=[0x41000003] nodes=[TurnToHeading,
MoveToPosition] curCmd=0 - identical every half-second, forever.
Fix: the sequencer/sink bind block in EnterPlayerModeNow moves ABOVE
the initial physics Resolve + SetPosition (no data dependency - the
block only needs playerEntity/_animatedEntities). Teleport-arrival
SetPositions were already safe (sink long bound). Test rigs
(PlayerMoveToCutoverTests.MakeRig, W6EdgeDrivenMovementTests) mirror
the fixed order, and a new LoginQueue_DrainsToEmpty_UnderProductionFeed
test pins the invariant the probe caught: after login, pending_motions
must reach EMPTY under the production completion feed.
The [autowalk-gate]/[autowalk-feed] diagnostics stay in for the live
verify pass (TEMPORARY-tagged; strip when #5 closes). Full suite
green: 3,958.

The local player now runs server MoveTos through the same verbatim
MoveToManager remotes got in V4. One commit, GameWindow + controller,
per the no-fan-out rule for coupled slices.
P1 gate (V0-pins.md P1, ported verbatim): CPhysics::SetObjectMovement
(0x00509690 @0050972e) drops any movement event whose wire autonomous
byte is set when the addressed object IsThePlayer - ACE's self-addressed
MoveToState reflection (MovementData.cs:162 IsAutonomous=1) never
reaches unpack_movement, which is what makes the retail unconditional
unpack-head interrupt safe. Gate placed AFTER the sequence gates
(retail order). The stale "ACE follows every mt=0x06 with an mt=0x00"
comment block dies with the code it excused (its causal story was
pre-#75; refuted in V0-pins P1).
Run-rate re-anchor (P1 contingency NOT needed - no AD row): the echo
tap ApplyServerRunRate is deleted outright. Both retail feeds already
exist: PlayerDescription skills via SetCharacterSkills (K-fix7) into
InqRunRate (preferred by apply_run_to_command/get_state_velocity), and
the mt-6/7 my_run_rate wire write (M13) now performed for the player by
the shared RouteServerMoveTo. The tap's InterpretedState.ForwardSpeed
overwrite was a pre-R3 mechanism that fought the ported machinery.
B.6 auto-walk deleted wholesale (~330 lines): fields, Begin/End/
DriveServerAutoWalk, IsServerAutoWalking, AutoWalkArrived, the
autoWalkConsumedMotion gates, the #69 turn-dir edge synthesizer, and
the relocated AutoWalkArrivalEpsilon/AutoWalkTurnRateFor constants
(AD-26 retired - the invented 5/30-degree bands are gone; arrival is
retail's distance predicate; turn-first is the TurnToHeading node).
TS-36 retired: Motion.InterruptCurrentMovement binds to
MoveTo.CancelMoveTo(ActionCancelled). Movement-key edges (ctor-default
params carry the 0x8000 CancelMoveTo bit), Shift (set_hold_run
interrupt:true), jump(), StopCompletely, and teleport all cancel a
running moveto through the retail chain - verified by controller-level
tests, not assumed.
MoveToComplete seam WIDENED to natural completion (Core): retail's
BeginNextNode empty-queue completion is inline CleanUp+StopCompletely
(raw @00529d47) and notifies nothing - the client-addition seam had to
fire there (both sticky and non-sticky exits) or AD-27's deferred
close-range Use/PickUp re-send never fires. Never fires on CancelMoveTo.
AD-27 re-anchored from the deleted AutoWalkArrived event.
InstallSpeculativeTurnToTarget rewired through the player's manager
(retail 9a/9b client-initiated shape): close-range -> TurnToObject,
far -> MoveToObject; AP-23 radius buckets + the #77 CanCharge
prediction survive as the params source (row re-anchored).
Per-tick: MoveTo.UseTime() at the old DriveServerAutoWalk slot
(provisional until R6, per the plan's placement decision); the P4
player-side TargetTracker twin (fields + pre-Update feed) mirrors the
remote adapter (AP-79 row widened). HitGround dual-call added on the
player landing edge AND the remote landing site - the latter closes a
V4 wiring-contract gap the adversarial review caught (retail 2d order:
minterp then moveto; without it a landing NPC's moveto never re-arms).
Also from the adversarial review: the mt-8 unresolvable-target degrade
now performs retail's params.desired_heading = wire_heading
substitution (decomp 2f case 8; invisible against ACE per P6, required
for the verbatim degrade); the V4 remote MoveToManager binding gets a
real curTime clock (the ctor stub advanced 1/30s per READ, skewing the
progress/fail-distance windows - note: the pending V4 NPC smoke ran on
the skewed clock); TS-33 row extended with the orientation-diff gap
(ApproxPositionEqual vs retail Frame::is_equal full-frame compare - a
stationary heading snap does not reach the wire; masked against ACE,
R7 outbound scope owns the fix).
MoveToMath gains HeadingFromYaw/YawFromHeading (the P5 scalar bridge
for yaw-authoritative bodies - the player's heading snap must write
Yaw, not the quaternion the controller re-derives every frame).
Tests: 3,956 green (+8). New: MoveToManagerCompletionSeamTests (arrival
fires once with None, no refire, cancel never fires, sticky handoff
order) + PlayerMoveToCutoverTests (EnterPlayerModeNow-shape rig: walks
to arrival with zero user input and zero MotionStateChanged frames -
the #75 invariant by construction; TurnToHeading rotates Yaw and snaps
exact; W-edge and jump cancel without firing complete). W6 edge suite
retargeted from the deleted echo tap to a direct apply pass (the
regression lives in ApplyInterpretedMovement, not the wire trigger).
Spec: docs/research/2026-07-03-r4-moveto/r4-port-plan.md section 3 V5.

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.
