Imported from the codex worktree's uncommitted work
(C:/Users/erikn/.codex/worktrees/bd98/acdream on
codex/atmospheric-rendering-campaign), on top of its 8b7b601b.
The remote-player shadow gate ran two clients on fixed sleeps, so the
observer could move before the primary had taken its 'before' screenshot,
or the primary could take its 'after' shot before the observer had moved.
Now the harness publishes named signal files into each client's artifact
directory and the routes block on them:
- IRetailUiAutomationRuntime.TryIsAutomationSignalPublished, implemented
by WorldLifecycleAutomationController over <artifactDir>/signals/
<name>.signal (names validated by AutomationArtifactName, so no path
escape).
- 'wait signal <name> [timeoutMs]' in RetailUiAutomationScriptRunner.
- run-connected-render-pack-remote-player-gate.ps1 publishes
'primary-before' to the observer after the primary's before-shot
completes, then 'observer-moved' to the primary after the observer's
remote-observer-moved checkpoint.
- Both routes teleport with an explicit heading and wait 12 s to settle.
Build green; the three touched App test classes pass 58/58 including the
two new signal tests.

#416 (char-select roster highlight never cleared on hover-leave): three
decomp-grounded mechanisms replace the media-keyed _availableStates
approximation.
- UIElement_Button::UpdateState_ @0x00471CF0: the button machine commits
ONLY states authored on the button's OWN ElementDesc (AccessStateDesc
gate); unauthored requests no-op, preserving custom semantic states.
- UIElement::SetState @0x00464E70: an unauthored state id is coerced to
state 0 (the unnamed base state) and committed — ported into
UiDatElement.TrySetRetailState with the base-descriptor PassToChildren
cascade arm.
- The SetState media rule @0x004651c0: a committed state replaces the
playing media ONLY when its media array is non-empty. UiButton now keeps
per-face-segment media states under that rule (segments model retail's
PassToChildren children), and LayoutImporter records the raw MediaCount
including the File=0 draw-nothing images the drawable filter drops —
the roster bar children's base state is exactly such an image, and it is
what clears the bar.
The row template truth (probe, installed DAT): the row authors EMPTY
Normal/rollover/Highlight descriptors with PassToChildren; the three bar
children author rollover/Highlight media, NO Normal state, and a File=0
base image. An empty-media Normal_pressed still never blanks a Normal-art
button (the media rule keeps the previous art — the exact behavior the
old gate approximated), and the Appearance spins' property-only Highlight
now genuinely commits: label recolors, arrow art lingers — the retail
split AP-222 approximated with a requested-keyed label hack, now retired.
Live-verified at char select: hover +alex shows the grey bar, moving off
clears it, the selected row keeps its amber bar.
#415 (probe wait world-* verbs dead): the filed snapshot-reset diagnosis
was wrong — the automation bridge simply never bound without
ACDREAM_AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_DIR. A facts-only
WorldRevealFactsAutomationRuntime now binds whenever the retained UI
exists; checkpoint/screenshot verbs still require the artifact directory
and now report that instead of a generic timeout.
App tests 5568/3 skips, Runtime 1756/0, UI.Abstractions 926/0.

Carry one immutable prepared collision closure with each accepted near-tier generation and install graph plus flat views through the same retained publication receipt. Apply the same strict package-only rule to live entities, add exact sampled graph-authoritative comparison artifacts and lifecycle counters, and prove cancellation, demotion, rehydrate, revisit, teardown, reconnect, and the nine-stop route with 14,064 zero-mismatch samples.

Build a same-frame candidate product from incremental render-scene indices and compare its exact PView routes against the accepted current path without changing the production draw source.
Construct Slice F's non-drawing scene only for lifecycle automation, drain accepted static and live deltas at the final update boundary, and compare exact current-path fingerprints at cadence and checkpoints. Publish bounded mismatch, journal, index, digest, and memory evidence without changing normal launches or draw submission.
Release: 8,211 passed, 5 skipped.
Capture deterministic, landblock-aware fingerprints from the accepted partition only during lifecycle automation. This gives the F/G shadow scene an independent oracle without changing normal draw decisions or adding disabled-path per-entity cost.
An adversarial performance review found our own instruments cannot
measure the project's own performance gates:
- FrameProfiler aggregated CPU/GPU/alloc/stage samples into ~5-second
windows and reset the ring buffers after each report, so route-wide
p50/p95/p99 distributions across a whole soak could not be
reconstructed after the fact. ACDREAM_FRAME_HISTORY=<path> now opts
into a separate per-frame history (one record per frame, ~72
bytes/record, accumulated in memory with zero frame-thread I/O) that
a shutdown-only Dispose() writes as CSV. The aggregated [frame-prof]
report format and its existing metrics are unchanged.
- The canonical checkpoint JSON tracked cache residency (entry/byte
counts) but never LOH size/fragmentation, process-wide allocated
bytes, or cache hit/miss/eviction traffic — a committed audit JSON
showed 65% LOH fragmentation that no tracked instrument recorded,
and "does a revisit portal hit or miss the caches" was unanswerable
from an artifact alone. WorldLifecycleResourceSnapshot now carries
loh_size_bytes/loh_fragmentation_bytes (GCMemoryInfo.GenerationInfo
index 3), process_total_allocated_bytes (GC.GetTotalAllocatedBytes),
and Interlocked hit/miss/eviction counters for the CPU mesh cache,
decoded-texture cache, and the four bounded DAT-object caches
(portal/cell/highRes/language, aggregated).
- run-connected-r6-soak.ps1 unconditionally forced
ACDREAM_UNCAPPED_RENDER=1 with no capped mode, while its sibling
lifecycle-gate script correctly gated it behind a switch. Added
-Uncapped (default capped, matching the sibling script's pattern),
fixed the stationary dwell (12s -> 26s, past the 25s
LiveEntityLivenessController deadline the adjacent comment already
cited), and now write an env-disclosure.json into the automation
artifact directory before every launch listing every ACDREAM_* var
the script sets plus -Uncapped, since the prior audit could only see
ACDREAM_DUMP_MOVE_TRUTH and nothing else was ever recorded anywhere.
Cache counters are wired via the existing composition path
(ObjectMeshManager already owns the CPU mesh cache and the mesh
extractor directly; content.Dats is threaded into
WorldLifecycleResourceSnapshotSource the same way every other
composition consumer receives it). The DAT-object cache lives behind
IDatReaderWriter, a third-party interface from the DatReaderWriter
package that cannot be extended; RuntimeDatCollection (the one
production implementation) exposes the aggregate stats directly and a
pattern match reads them, degrading to zero for any test double —
no new static registry was introduced (GpuMemoryTracker remains the
one precedented process-wide static).

(cherry picked from commit 1da2c33c875b41fa383dd79694ee2765f0e21896)
Make scripted lifecycle checkpoints acknowledged post-diagnostics render barriers, capture the exact frame outcome beside canonical resource ownership, and harden the nine-stop route with ordered same-location cache and lifetime gates without weakening process residency thresholds.
