Part 1 deleted probes whose owning issues were closed. These 14 named no
issue at all, so each was traced to its introducing commit
(git log -S) instead of guessed at. Attribution split them three ways:
DELETED (7, investigations closed): ACDREAM_A8_DUMP_PV and
ACDREAM_DUMP_LIVE_SPAWNS (Phase A8), ACDREAM_DUMP_CLOTHING (#37),
ACDREAM_DUMP_EDGE_SLIDE (#32), ACDREAM_DUMP_STEPUP (L.2.3d-f),
ACDREAM_DUMP_VENDOR (the vendor campaign, 25 call sites across 8 files),
ACDREAM_DUMP_VITALS (#5, four independent read sites). VendorDiagnostics.cs
went entirely.
RECLASSIFIED (8, tools misfiled as probes): the DUMP_CELLS/DUMP_GFXOBJS
fixture-extraction family (replay-harness tooling with a roundtrip test),
PROBE_CELL (standing cell-transit tracer, pair of the permanent
PROBE_RESOLVE), DUMP_SKY and HIDE_PART (generic isolation tools), and
DUMP_STEEP_ROOF — which looked like an L.4 relic but observes LIVE
divergence-register row AD-56; deleting it would have removed the only
runtime lens on an active divergence. All moved to Permanent diagnostics
with their attribution recorded.
RESTORED (1): ACDREAM_DUMP_MOVE_TRUTH was deleted and un-deleted the same
day. It is not a probe — the canonical nine-stop soak
(run-connected-r6-soak.ps1) hard-fails every destination without its
'move-truth OUT' records, with a message that would misdirect the next
operator. Under the no-workarounds rule the gate's mechanism is restored,
not left broken with an IOU (#437, closed). Process lesson recorded on
both issues: a closed owning issue is NOT sufficient to delete a probe —
grep tools/ and the contract tests for consumers first.
Also lands the owner-requested default-off invariant: every diagnostic in
the codebase is inert until its env var is explicitly set. Exactly four
flags default ON and none is a diagnostic — RETAIL_CHASE, CAMERA_COLLIDE,
CAMERA_ALIGN_SLOPE, RETAIL_CLOSE_DEGRADES are retail behaviors wearing an
A/B off-switch. That set is now FROZEN by
LaunchOptionsDocumentationTests.OnlyTheFourRetailBehaviorFlagsDefaultOn;
docs/launch-options.md's Conventions and CLAUDE.md state the rule, and
CLAUDE.md now binds future probes to a documented row in the same commit.
The client reads 137 environment variables (161 at audit start); 40
temporary probes remain, every one attributed. Full hermetic suite 15,322
passed / 0 failed.

Both chains pinned by the live [vendor-diag] run (vendor-diag.log)
after three code-reading rounds each failed:
The split bar: ACE serializes descStackSize=1 for EVERY browse row
(live wire, log 343-348) — the R1-era "ACE never populates desc"
claim is retracted with the line quoted. Retail's vendor sites read
pwd._maxStackSize directly (four sites, incl. UpdateItemsList
@0x004c1ea0 stamping min(remaining, _maxStackSize));
ResolveAuthoredStackSize flips to max-first for its vendor-only
consumers. Taper ceiling 1000, scarab 100, seed 1 for exempt.
Pricing still reads the desc (per-1 values on ACE).
Walk-to-use: the local player's getObjectA seam was bound to
TryGetPhysicsHost, which resolves only INSTALLED physics hosts — a
never-animated vendor has none, so TargetManager.SetTarget got null,
the MoveToObject armed with zero nodes, and UseTime never dispatched.
The log's natural=False completions were the user's own movement keys
(retail-correct input-edge cancels); attempt 4 worked because the
greeting animation had installed a host. RuntimePhysicsState gains
the retail CObjectMaint::GetObjectA seam (bound canonical resolver
with installed-host fallback); the graphical host binds the SAME
lazy-minimal-host resolver every remote already uses — whose own doc
comment names this exact never-animated hazard. The reservation
release was already correct (2b premise refuted with evidence); the
production-wiring invariants are now pinned by four new tests
including the pre-fix pathology as a permanent sabotage control.
AP-169 rewritten a second time, honestly. The [vendor-diag] probe
family (ACDREAM_DUMP_VENDOR) lands env-gated for future live triage.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,536 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Move local teleport, player-mode, animation, shadow, and sealed-dungeon lifetimes out of GameWindow. Make player-mode entry transactional and isolate approach completions by controller lifetime and approach generation so stale callbacks cannot affect replacements.

Bind queued actions and pending inventory requests to exact live incarnations, separate optimistic placement from authoritative responses, and serialize retail-style inventory ownership across UI surfaces.

Introduce a tested controller for selection mutations, target-mode interception, outbound ordering, Use/PickUp lifetime, and live-incarnation cleanup, plus narrow movement and WorldSession transport adapters.
