feat(chat): Campaign CH slice CH6b — floating chat windows 1-4
Mounts retail's four floating chat windows as always-resident, born-hidden children per gmGamePlayUI::SetupChildren @0x004E9EC0, all sharing LayoutDesc 0x2100005B (window ids 0x10000505/0x1000050E/0x1000050F/0x10000510). New FloatingChatWindowController (AcDream.App/UI/Layout) binds each window's own widget tree — built fresh per instance from one shared imported ElementInfo — reusing ChatWindowController's word-wrap + retail color-carry algorithm via the extracted ChatTranscriptRenderer instead of duplicating it. A floaty window has no talk-focus menu (research doc §2.2), so its entry field always sends on Say; the mismatch against retail's possible shared-channel behavior is UNVERIFIED and filed as #369/AP-188. Runtime owns the per-window filter/open state: ChatWindowState (new, AcDream.Core.Chat) seeds retail's exact PostInit defaults per window (window 1 0x0000101C Speech/Tell/DirectSend/Emote, window 2 0x00040C00 Social/SocialSend/Allegiance, window 3 0x00080000 Fellowship, window 4 0x78000000 Turbine General/Trade/LFG/Roleplay) and implements the full ShouldDisplay(windowId, targetWindowId, logTextType) display predicate from ChatInterface::RecvNotice_DisplayFinalStringInfo @0x004F4640. It lives on RuntimeCommunicationState.ChatWindows so every host borrows the same instance. The main window's filter (0xFBFFFFFF, "no user filter") never actually gates anything because its own explicit-address branch already covers every broadcast line — that's why UpdateFromPlayerModule early-returns for window 0 in retail, ported here by construction rather than a special case. Keybind wiring: InputAction.ToggleFloatingChatWindow1..4 and their KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() chords already existed since Phase K.1c (unwired until now). The MetaKeys table confirms retail's default is Alt+1 through Alt+4 (index 3 = bit 0x00000004, cross-checked against the same file's Alt+A/D strafe and Alt+Enter/Tab/F4 rows). Routes through GameplayInputCommandController -> RetainedGameplayWindowCommands -> RetailUiRuntime.ToggleFloatingChatWindow -> the generic UiHost.ToggleWindow, whose visibility-change event is the single chokepoint that syncs ChatWindowState.SetOpen and mirrors the main window's 1-4 indicator button regardless of what changed a window's visibility (keybind, close button, or a restored layout). A direct decomp read of gmMainChatUI::ListenToElementMessage @0x004CDA80 — the only function in the whole binary that branches on a click message — settles what the research doc had left as a hedge: it handles exactly 0x1000046f (max/min) and the talk-focus menu's selection message, with NO case for 0x10000522-0x10000525. The four indicator buttons are PURE one-directional mirrors in retail; clicking them does nothing. ChatWindowController.SetIndicatorOpen ports this with no OnClick at all. Corrected research doc §1.4 accordingly. Persistence is local-only (register row AP-187; the retail 0x1000008C GameplayOptions wire remains deferred to CH6f): window geometry and open/visible state ride the existing generic RetailWindowLayoutPersistence path for free once each window registers under its own WindowNames entry; the four filter masks get a dedicated ChatSettings round-trip (ChatWindow1Filter..ChatWindow4Filter, defaulting to the retail PostInit constants) loaded at mount and saved alongside SaveLayout(). Tests: ChatWindowStateTests (defaults, TypeIsActive, the full display-rule matrix, toggle/reset, revision counter), FloatingChatWindowControllerTests (bind smoke tests against a synthetic 0x2100005B tree, per-window filter routing, filter-change cache invalidation, fixed-Say submit), new ChatWindowController.SetIndicatorOpen tests (Highlight/Normal state, cross-window isolation, range validation), GameplayInputCommandController routing for the four toggle actions, and a SettingsStore filter round-trip. Full Release suite: 12,392 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(headless): #365 — collision-admission-open window drove the first-entry conductor into a permanent seal refusal
Root cause (measured live via ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1): HeadlessSessionWorldProjection drove the first-entry conductor unconditionally, including while HeadlessCollisionNeighborhood's own 3x3 publication plan held a genuinely open RuntimeCollisionAdmission for the local player's landblock. Every TrySealCollisionEvaluationAuthority attempt during that window failed (IsCollisionEvaluationPrefixAdmissible false) and retried forever without recovering — measured verdict: "seal-refused" repeating with no preceding [rearm] verdict= line (the operation never even reached the AwaitingCell park). This is the diagnosis doc's "structural half" mechanism; no evidence of the "circular HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt" hypothesis was observed, so that shape was not needed. Step 1 (enabler): HeadlessStaticStateAudit.ValidateProcessIsolation now takes sessionCount and only refuses process-global physics probes for sessionCount > 1 — its own multi-root-attribution rationale never applied to a single session, and it was blocking the exact probe built to diagnose this class of stall. Step 3a (root cause): new IHeadlessCollisionNeighborhood.IsQuiescent gates ProjectSpawn/ProjectPosition/PumpFirstEntry's conductor-drive calls — the conductor is never driven while the neighborhood's own publication owns collision authority for that tick. Step 4 (defense-in-depth): HeadlessLocalPlayerFrameHost.CanAdvancePlayer now requires Controller.CanExecuteLiveMovement instead of just a non-null controller — the headless-only gap that turned the (now-fixed) hydration stall into a hard crash reaching SuspendObjectUpdate on a dormant controller. RuntimeLocalPlayerFrameController's three shared entry points gained the same guard, contract-preserving for the graphical host. Verified end-to-end against live ACE (jump-probe policy, three runs): hydration succeeds cleanly (136 entities load vs. 0 before), no seal-refused spam, no crash from the original bug, graceful logout every time. Full airborne-transition confirmation is blocked by a separate, newly-discovered, pre-existing defect filed as #368 (the headless scheduler's Task.Delay(...).ConfigureAwait(false) tick loop can resume on a different ThreadPool thread mid collision-generation, tripping EnsureCollisionMutationThread) — explicitly out of scope here, not mentioned anywhere in the #365 diagnosis, and unsafe to fix without graphical-host verification this session was constrained not to perform. New tests: the real-admission hydration test (fails on the pre-Step-3a tree, verified by temporarily reverting the three gates and confirming failure, then restoring), the PumpFirstEntry quiescence-gate test, the CanAdvancePlayer publication-lifecycle test, the dormant-controller sabotage tests for RuntimeLocalPlayerFrameController, and the audit single/multi-session tests. RuntimeLocalPlayerPhysicsPublicationStateTests is untouched. Full Release suite: 12,343 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline ~12,330/4 plus 11 new tests).

fix(runtime): production controller install never wired OnInterfaceText — the jump-in-air silence
Round-3 probe evidence pinpointed it: '[jump] ReportJumpRefusal result=NotGrounded hasCallback=False' — the edge detection, OnWalkable clearing, and refusal dispatch all worked; the callback was null because CommitRuntimeOwnedController (the C3c production publication path) writes _controller directly and never applied _onInterfaceText the way the internal setter does. Two install paths, one wired. Regression test pins the commit path. Runtime tests 1,323/0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(chat): Campaign CH user-gate round 1 — jump-in-air edge, portal cue cadence, wrap/prefix/color fixes
The user tested Campaign CH's CODE-COMPLETE build live and reported ten defects (docs/plans/2026-08-09-chat-parity-campaign.md, "User gate — round 1"). Items A-G are fixed here; the remaining three (extra chat windows on 1/2/3/4, resize working in only one corner, transparency/ artifacts) are out of scope for a fix and filed as slice CH6. A. Jump-in-air refusal never fired live: the jump block only ever evaluated input.Jump inside the grounded-charge or already-charging branches. PlayerMovementController now detects the press RISING EDGE while airborne and reports WeenieError.NotGrounded once per press, leaving the grounded charge/fire path untouched. B. ChatVM's invented "[System] " prefix is dropped — retail prints system text bare. [Popup] is unchanged (AP-175). C. SpewBoxController's color is now the user-pinned exact value (1, 1, 0.247, 1), the same bright yellow as an incoming Tell. Register row AP-178 updated: color CLOSES, size/position/font stay open per the user's live report that they still differ. D. Closes #329: PortalTunnelPresentation now emits the portal wait cue unconditionally on every rotation-segment boundary, matching gmSmartBoxUI::UseTime's decompiled else-arm exactly instead of gating on a 5-second hold local transits never reached. PortalWaitNotice Controller now renders it in the same pinned yellow as item C. Register row AP-150 retired. E. Closes #362: new ClientCommandResponses.cs parses and renders the four previously-unhandled inbound GameEvents (ChannelIndex, ChannelList, AvailableHouses, AllegianceInfoResponse), each ported line-for-line from the named-retail decomp's inbound handlers. Register row TS-70 retired. F. ChatWindowController.WrapText now splits on embedded '\n'/'\r\n' first, then word-wraps each segment independently — server text like /help's reply no longer collapses onto one line. G. The chat input field's right edge no longer holds a fixed absolute pixel position across a window resize; Bind now upgrades it to retail edge-mode 1 (UiLayoutPolicy) or the AnchorEdges.Right stretch fallback so it tracks the window's client width instead of overflowing past a narrower resize. Full Release suite: 12,247 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 12,221/4/0 + 26 new tests across items A, E, F, G). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(chat): CH4 review fixes — allegiance ownership guard, house-abandon confirmation
Blocker 1: an unrecognized "@allegiance <sub>" subcommand escaped TryMatchAllegiance (which only claimed "info"/"hometown") and fell through the unregistered-tag channel fallback, broadcasting the raw subcommand text to the Allegiance chat channel (0x02000000). Retail's own DoAllegiance never reaches DoChannelCommand for an unrecognized subcommand — it claims the whole verb and prints its own client-local refusal. TryMatchAllegiance now claims "allegiance"/"all" unconditionally and shows retail's "Please see @help Allegiance..." text; ChatCommandRouter also gained a blanket RetailClientCommandCatalog.KnownVerbs ownership guard in TryDispatchChannelFallback as defense in depth. Blocker 2: "@house abandon" sent 0x021F immediately with no confirmation. Retail runs a real two-stage dialog before Event_AbandonHouse(); ported both verbatim strings and chained two ShowConfirmation calls. Should-fixes: a bare unregistered tag with no text now passes through silently instead of showing a refusal that belongs to a different retail function; @join/@leave update RuntimeCharacterOptionsState locally (new SetOptionBit) before the wire push so the Turbine membership gate stops refusing a just-joined room; @permit accepts multi-word names; @clist/ @on/@off validate shape only and raise WeenieError 0x422 for an unknown tag; @mr/@pr help text is now the verbatim retail strings; corrected issue #360, register row TS-68, the campaign doc's B.7 note, and a stale RetailChannelTagTable comment; filed issue #363 + register row AP-183 for the deferred error-typing debt. Nits: fixed TryMatchHouse's stale doc comment, the AP-182/@title "stores the value" comments (the binding is a no-op), IsUnregisteredFallbackTag's olthoi false-positive, added /g and /rp binding-level conformance pins, made @index ignore extra arguments, and noted the six removed invented verbs in ISSUES.md. Suite: 12,216 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (Release), up from CH4's 12,190/4/0 — net +26 tests, no removals. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(chat): Campaign CH slice CH3 — side-channel membership, wire, and echo parity
Ports retail's SendTurbineChat (@0x0057db10) local pre-send membership gate so Roleplay/Society/Olthoi stop silently swallowing outbound chat: a new TurbineChatMembershipGate checks Turbine availability and the player's own Hear*Chat option before sending, raising "Turbine chat is not available." or the 0x0551 YouAreNotListeningTo_Channel refusal through the CH2 AddText chokepoint instead. Wired into both the graphical (LiveSessionCommandRouter) and headless (DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter) send paths so they can't diverge. Retracts the 26-day-old false "ACE doesn't run a TurbineChat server" claim from ISSUES.md, the roadmap, and project_chat_pipeline.md — ACE's TurbineChat implementation is complete and on by default; the real bug was treating Hear*Chat as a display filter instead of room membership. Also: implements SetSingleCharacterOption (0x0005), the only wire message that actually joins/leaves a Turbine room, and wires the five Settings Chat toggles to it (publish on Save, changed bits only) plus seeds ChatSettings from the server's own CharacterOptions2 on every PlayerDescription. Fixes the legacy-channel double-print (Fellow/Vassals/Patron/Monarch/CoVassals skip the local echo now that ChatChannelInfo.IsSelfEchoChannel is finally consulted). Routes /a to Turbine unconditionally (retail's @a never falls back to the legacy bitflag) and adds /ab for the legacy AllegianceBroadcast verb retail actually has. Surfaces a nonzero TurbineChat ack HResult instead of discarding it silently. Deletes the malformed, callerless SetCharacterOptions (0x01A1) and AddChannel/RemoveChannel (0x0145/0x0146) builders. Files every AC-specific algorithm change cites the named retail decomp (SendTurbineChat 0x0057db10, StartupTurbineChatSystem 0x0057EFB0, GameActionSetSingleCharacterOption) plus ACE/holtburger cross-checks. Register rows AP-181 (no client-side spam throttle) and UN-9 (an incidentally-discovered CharacterOptions1.Default literal mismatch, not investigated further) filed per the divergence-register rule. 11,957 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (full Release suite, up from the 11,916/4/0 baseline).

fix(chat): CH2 rework — SpewBox tick-driven visibility + binary-derived error table
Reworks Campaign CH slice CH2 per the REJECT-review findings doc (docs/research/2026-08-09-ch2-review-findings.md). BLOCKER 1 — SpewBoxController never rendered a line and leaked its pending queue. LinesProvider only ran through UiText.OnDraw, which gates on Visible — and the box started invisible, so the provider (the sole caller of SpewBoxState.Tick) never ran. Gave the controller an explicit per-frame Tick(now) driven by UiRoot's global-message-3 broadcast (a zero-size GlobalTimeSink child, the same pattern VendorUiController.DragOverGlobalTimeSink already uses), matching retail's gmSpewBoxUI::Update. LinesProvider now only returns the cache. Tests rewritten to drive root.Tick(...) instead of calling the provider directly, plus new coverage for visibility-without-a-draw, queue-drain-without-a-draw, and bounded-queue-across-many-ticks. BLOCKER 2 — re-derived the HandleFailureEvent routing table from the PDB-paired binary instead of the pseudo-C's ~33-char string previews. tools/pdb-extract/sweep_weenie_strings.py sweeps every push imm32 in VA 0x571990-0x575480, dereferences into .rdata/.data, and decodes the full UTF-16LE literal. Added the 5 ids dispatched via else-if (missed by case-label enumeration), resolved 0x4F8 (previously excluded), fixed 18 wrong strings (16 the review flagged + 2 more — 0x4E9 and 0x518 — an automated diff between every swept literal and the landed table found). Every changed row cross-checked against ACE's WeenieError/WeenieErrorWithString enum doc comments; both oracles agreed on every row, including a case where the review's own proposed text for the new 0x4E8 row was itself wrong (it was 0x4E9's text) — corrected via the else-if block's own instruction address plus the ACE cross-check. Pinned table count: 344 (338 + 5 + 0x4F8). SHOULD-FIX 1 — RuntimeCommunicationState.ResetSpewBox was dead code; folded into the ChatIdentity generation-reset stage (same lifetime boundary), with a reset assertion added to the existing populated-reset test. SHOULD-FIX 2 — AddText trimmed only the trailing end and invented an empty-string early return; retail's AddTextToScroll trims both ends (trim(&str, 1, 1, ws)) and has no empty guard. Both retired. SHOULD-FIX 3 — ShowWeenieError bypassed the AddText chokepoint via ChatLog.OnWeenieError (hardcoded LogTextType 0x00); routed through Communication.AddText(Resolve(code, param)) instead, and ChatLog.OnWeenieError is deleted — GameEventWiring's legacy no-router fallback now resolves + calls OnSystemMessage directly. SHOULD-FIX 4 — retail's HandleFailureEvent switch has no default case; an unmapped id now resolves to a null Text (silence toward the player) instead of the invented "WeenieError 0xNNNN" hex fallback, with a diagnostics-only console log line for the id. NITs — AP-TBD placeholders corrected to their real register rows (AP-178, not the unrelated AP-177 lifetime row); filed AP-180 for the windowId dual-destination gap and corrected three stale "lands with CH2" comments; extended SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic from dats.Portal to dats.Local and found the SpewBox element for real — LayoutDesc 0x21000011, element 0x10000048, size 450x72, MaxConcurrentItems (ListBox property 0x10000028) = 4, not retail's code default of 1. AP-178 narrowed accordingly; SpewBoxState.MaxConcurrentItems and SpewBoxController's extent/anchor/OneLine are now authored rather than placeholder (absolute screen position and colour remain open); fixed the "19 ids... lists 18" miscount by retiring the stale paragraph in the class doc rewrite; aligned the UseDone handler's silent-status check with the other two WeenieError handlers. Full Release suite: 11,914 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (build 0 errors). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(chat): Campaign CH slice CH2 — retail SpewBox interface text
Retail routes on-screen refusals ("You can't jump while in the air",
"You are too encumbered to carry that!") through a SEPARATE transient
screen surface (gmSpewBoxUI, ClientSystem::AddTextToScroll @0x00563C50)
that never touches the chat scroll — type 0x1A is exactly the bit every
ChatInterface window's default filter excludes
(ChatInterface::ChatInterface @0x004F4550). acdream had no such split:
every WeenieError rendered in chat at a single stand-in LogTextType
0x00 (CH1-era approximation, register AP-176), and locally-detected
jump refusals were silently discarded.
This slice ports the full mechanism per
docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-interface-text.md:
CORE (AcDream.Core/Chat):
- WeenieErrorMessages.Resolve now returns (text, RetailLogTextType) from
a 338-row transcription of ClientCommunicationSystem::HandleFailureEvent
@0x00571990 (Appendix A's 339 cases minus one, 0x4F8, deliberately
excluded — its case body is a tangled decompiler artifact, not
resolvable with confidence). Spot-checked ~20 rows directly against
the raw decomp (case 0x2b/0x36/0x3a/0x4e/0x4ec/0x4f3/0x4f4 and the
jump family), beyond the ~10 the brief asked for, because the first
pass surfaced two transcription classes the research doc's markdown
silently ate: (1) 7 ids marked "shared string global" resolved by
reading the case bodies directly (0x24/0x48/0x49 reuse the jump-
refusal globals; 0x4DE/0x4DF/0x55A/0x55E are pure param passthrough);
(2) 19 "arg3 + literal" CONCATENATION ids whose leading space (and
therefore their %s marker) the markdown table's cell-trimming ate —
fixed by re-reading each case body, several requiring a SECOND
non-truncated data_XXXXXXXX dump elsewhere in the same oracle file to
recover text the ~33-char inline preview cut off. One retail typo is
preserved verbatim: 0x4F4's second placeholder is literal "$s", not
"%s" — only the first substitutes.
- ClientTextRefusals: the 11 process-lifetime string globals, all
byte-recovered from the PDB-paired C:\Users\erikn\Downloads\acclient.exe
(MATCH verified via check_exe_pdb.py) via raw UTF-16LE prefix search —
5 were truncated in the research doc's own transcription and all 5
turned out to end "...combat mode"/"...this position", not the
shorter "...combat" a truncated read would suggest.
- SpewBoxState: the gmSpewBoxUI pending/visible queue port (insert-at-0,
dedupe-against-index-0-only, MaxConcurrentItems overflow, per-entry
expiry, one-frame enqueue/drain decoupling). Placed in Core (not
Runtime as the brief's default) because AcDream.UI.Abstractions
references Core but not Runtime, and SpewBoxVM needs to wrap it
directly — the same constraint ChatVM already satisfies against
ChatLog.
- Folded the 4-entry WeenieErrorText.cs into the full table; deleted it.
RUNTIME (AcDream.Runtime):
- RuntimeCommunicationState.AddText(text, type, windowId): the
AddTextToScroll chokepoint. type == ClientLocal -> SpewBox only, never
chat; everything else -> the existing transcript, tagged with type.
- GameEventWiring gains an `onInterfaceText` delegate hole (Core.Net
cannot reference Runtime, so this follows the file's own established
pattern for every other Runtime-owned sink). Rewires 0x028A/0x028B/
UseDone through the full table + router; fixes 0x02EB
CommunicationTransientString's routing type from a CH1-era 0x00
guess to retail's hardcoded ClientLocal (Handle_Communication__
TransientString @0x0057D460).
- LiveSessionEventRouter's 0xF7E0 ServerMessage handler now routes
through AddText with the wire chatType verbatim instead of always
writing ChatLog directly.
- PlayerMovementController gains OnInterfaceText, applied by
RuntimeLocalPlayerMovementState to every controller it installs.
Reports ChargeJump/jump refusals exactly as ClientCombatSystem::
CommenceJump @0x0056AF90 / DoJump @0x0056B110 do — confirmed via
their compiled dispatch that ONLY 0x24/0x48/0x49 produce text;
0x47 (GeneralMovementFailure, fully-constrained/no-stamina) and any
other code are retail-SILENT (DoJump's jump table has exactly 4 real
targets), which contradicts this task's brief ("0x47 -> the
constrained/stamina row per §4.2") — the brief's reading of §4.2
described what jump_is_allowed COMPUTES, not what CommenceJump/DoJump
DISPLAY for it. Implemented the decomp-verified silent behavior.
APP (AcDream.App / AcDream.UI.Abstractions):
- The 5 composition sites that already used RetailLogTextType.ClientLocal
now call Communication.AddText instead of Chat.OnSystemMessage
directly, so they reach the SpewBox instead of the transcript.
- SpewBoxVM (UI.Abstractions) + SpewBoxController (App), modeled
directly on PortalWaitNoticeController. Position/font/colour/
MaxConcurrentItems are placeholders: SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic
exhaustively swept the installed client_portal.dat's entire LayoutDesc
id range (0x21000000-0x21000075, 101/118 ids populated, sanity-checked
against 3 known ids) and found ZERO elements of class 0x10000016 —
gmSpewBoxUI is mounted from C++ code, not any authored LayoutDesc, so
the dump cannot recover these values.
REGISTER: AP-176 retired (its WeenieError half is now the full table
port); its OnCombatLine half was never in this slice's scope and is
split out to AP-179 so that divergence keeps a row. AP-177 (invented
line lifetime) and AP-178 (invented position/font/colour/max-items)
filed for the presentation placeholders above. AP-175 (PopUpString ->
chat instead of modal) is untouched, not duplicated.
Suite: 11,890 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 11,835/4/0; +55 net
new tests, 0 regressions).

feat(chat): Campaign CH slice CH1 — retail LogTextType color table
Retail colors chat lines by the 34-value wire LogTextType (ACE's ChatMessageType), NOT by acdream's synthetic 9-value ChatKind. The old ChatWindowController.RetailChatColor(ChatKind) collapsed distinct retail colors onto one bucket per ChatKind — e.g. every Channel line rendered colorLightBlue (Magic's slot) when retail's actual palette spans five different colors across the Turbine rooms and legacy allegiance family. Ports ChatInterface::BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0 verbatim (RetailChatColorTable, all 34 RGBA floats read from the PDB-paired binary's .data section) and threads a new ChatEntry.LogTextType field through every ingestion site to the correct retail wire value: HearSpeech/Tell pass the wire chatType through verbatim; Emote/SoulEmote hard-code 0x0C; the Tell self-echo hard-codes 0x04; legacy ChatChannel broadcasts derive their type from the channel bit via the new LegacyChannelChatType helper (ported from the decompiled Handle_Communication__ChannelBroadcast dispatch, hear vs. own-send); TurbineChat rooms map through TurbineChatDisplayNames.LogTextType; CombatChatTranslator's hit/miss/evade lines map to ACE's CombatSelf/ CombatEnemy per Player_Combat.cs; kill/death lines use retail's decompiled 0x00 Default (not a combat color). ChatWindowController's transcript now folds LogTextType through RetailChatColorTable with retail's exact "out-of-range keeps the previous line's color" carry rule; ChatPanel's combat highlighting sources the same table. Corrects HearSpeech.cs's doc-comment ChatType legend (4 of 6 entries were wrong). Adds register row AP-175 for the pre-existing (unchanged) Popup-renders-in-chat divergence and updates AP-39's stale per-ChatKind description. Narrows ISSUES #139 — its chat-colors half is done. Retail renders no chat timestamp prefix path exists in acdream today, so the "timestamp is always colorGrey 0x0C" rule has nothing to attach to; noted here per the research doc rather than left silent. Research: docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-color-table.md Full Release suite: 11,833 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(runtime): transient collision-seal failure no longer terminal for login (#357)
Login could hang forever at reveal ready=True with the world never
revealed: UI and sky drawn, geometry absent, client healthy. The player's
first-entry conductor was being terminally dropped by a TRANSIENT
condition.
Mechanism, pinned by probes: the C3c-F2 rearm guard validates the exact
destination cell's prefix admissibility before moving the dormant lease
out of AwaitingCell, but the placement transaction's ring search touches
NEIGHBOUR landblocks and TrySealCollisionEvaluationAuthority covers every
touched prefix. A hard login recenter admits nine landblocks at once, so
a rearm taken while a neighbour's admission was still registered passed
the guard and failed the seal. The operation was left in
AwaitingPreparation, IsDormantLocalActivationAwaitingCell went false, and
EvaluateActivation had no way to say 'retry' - it fell through to
RejectedAuthority, which RuntimeFirstEntryDriveController treats as
terminal. The local player left the pump (pending=0), the movement
controller never published, auto-entry never fired, the reveal never
completed. Timing-flipped: the same binary worked when the rearm landed
outside a neighbour's admission window, then lost that race consistently.
Fix is classification, not state: EvaluateActivation reports DeferredCell
when the abort happens while the dormant lease is still current
(IsDormantLocalActivationLeaseCurrent), so the conductor keeps retrying.
The operation deliberately stays in AwaitingPreparation - the retry
re-runs the full evaluation against fresh state, which is the recovery
contract the publication-state tests already pin (the SAME token
evaluates Evaluated once the authority settles). Genuine discards still
report RejectedAuthority. A first attempt that re-parked the lease to
AwaitingCell was rejected by the test matrix: recovery would then need
the rearm gate, which is stricter than the seal, and the
reentrant-restriction-mutation recoveries hung in DeferredCell.
Seven publication-state tests move their transient-abort assertion from
RejectedAuthority to DeferredCell; the two genuinely-terminal tests
(lease retired) are unchanged. The [wake]/[rearm]/[pump] probes that
pinned the mechanism stay behind ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1 with the rest of
the C4 family.
Exonerated by experiment before the fix: ACE (wire capture shows
PlayerCreate sent; retail logs in fine) and the portal-cue commit

feat(audio): Campaign A slice A3 — the server sound channel (0xF750)
acdream never parsed retail's Sound event, so every server-driven cue was silent: melee hits and wounds, wield/unwield, pickup/drop, lockpicking, lifestone bind, spell resist, trap triggers, item mana depletion. SoundEvent parses the 16-byte message (guid, SoundType, f32 volume) whose layout three oracles agree on: retail CM_Physics::DispatchSB_SoundEvent @0x006AC760 reading buf+4/+8/+0xC, ACE's GameMessageSound at declared length 16, and holtburger's PlaySoundData. Playback reuses EntityEffectController's existing per-guid queue rather than adding a second one, because retail routes sounds through the SAME CObjectMaint blob queue as F754/F755: an event for a guid the client does not know yet is parked and drained by HandleCreateObject, so a creature that spawns and immediately grunts still grunts. Dropping it — the obvious alternative — would silently lose the cue. Sound joins Direct and Typed as a third PendingEffect kind so one readiness edge releases the whole mixed stream in order. AudioHookSink.PlayServerSound reproduces two decoded asymmetries with the animation-hook path: the sound plays at the WIRE volume and the SoundTable entry's volume is ignored (the hook path does the opposite), while the entry's probability still gates it and its priority still drives eviction. An object with no SoundTable plays nothing, matching CPhysicsObj::play_sound @0x0050F460's early return. The no-window host parses and discards, exactly as it does for F754/F755 — sound is presentation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(vendor): evidence-based pass — max-first stack ceiling; the local player resolves never-animated MoveTo targets

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.

fix(vendor): re-gate residuals — MaxStackSize is the stack operand, wire-authored use radius, purse summaries

R1 the split bar's operand is the item's authored MaxStackSize —
three retail sites read pwd._maxStackSize directly (InqListSlotCount
pc:200052, buy-button cases pc:203996/204086) where ACE never fills
the desc stack and standard stock is unlimited. Threaded StackSizeMax
end to end with one shared resolver; the two literal _maxStackSize
sites are now byte-exact; AP-165 retired, AP-169 corrected.
R2 walk-to-vendor never opened because GetUseRadius used an UNCITED
3m Creature heuristic as the local stop distance while ACE's poll
demands the authored radius (default 0.6 m) — the walk stopped and
the Use fired far outside acceptance. Now reads the wire-authored
spawn UseRadius with ACE's exact fallback; heuristic constants
deleted. A first sabotage attempt was non-discriminating
(coincidental 0.6) and was corrected — the discriminating version is
what landed.
R3 the Buying/Selling purse summaries ("Buying %d %s worth %hsp" /
"You have %hsp") recovered from the binary data segment where BN
mis-attributes the Buy-side literal; wired to staging and money
changes on the four authored text elements; AP-166 narrowed to the
pending-sell highlight.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,528 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Four live findings, each with the paper-verification failure named: G1 the container-capacity guard counted containers by a local type/capacity heuristic that over-classifies ordinary items; retail buckets from the wire's ContainerProperties at insert. Now reads ClientObjectTable's existing ContainerTypeHint (AP-168 narrowed to the shop-stock half; a pre-check must never false-block). G2 the amount bar never showed live because ACE never sets StackSize on browse listings — DescStackSize is null for every real vendor item and the C4 paper test hand-set the field, bypassing the materializer. The materializer now falls back to the packed supply count (AP-169, ACE adaptation); the new test drives the REAL materializer. G3 an out-of-range Use now dispatches ON ARRIVAL (pickup's shape): ACE's HandleActionUseItem only opens the vendor when the Use finds the player in range — a click-time send is greeted and dropped (AP-170, ACE adaptation; retail's server walks the player, ACE does not). G4 bought items appended because ACE's placement echo (UIQueue) can beat the CreateObject (SmartboxQueue) — cross-queue, no ordering guarantee — and the early echo was silently dropped. ClientObjectTable now stashes unresolved placements and replays them at Ingest: buys land at the retail list head. No register row — this RESTORES parity.

The user's connected gate found five issues; each fixed at the root: G4 (the discovery): retail's vendor X button calls only SetVisible(0) (pc:204147-204182) — the SESSION stays open and re-using the vendor lands on the same-session refresh; the range watcher remains the sole real close. Our port invented a full teardown on X, which is exactly why reopening died. The Runtime fixture proves the wire dispatch was never the problem; ACE has no already-open short-circuit. G3 (regression from the drag-suppression fix): denying IsDragSource also dropped press capture, so clicks fell through to window-drag. UiItemSlot.HandlesClick now claims presses for any occupied cell independent of drag eligibility — clickable and draggable are separate concerns. G5: the authored popup 0x21000043 is ONE scrollable column with a real scrollbar subtree (live-dat scan: ListBox 0x10000350 + scrollbar 0x10000351), not a 3x6 grid. UiMenu gains an authored-driven Scrollable mode (wheel, thumb drag, track paging, up/down buttons); chat's menu is untouched and its ten tests prove it. G1: retail's cost format is "%s %hsp (you have %hsp)" — the p after each %hs is a LITERAL pyreal suffix the port swallowed as part of the specifier. Restored. G2: the Buying/Selling pages' authored lists (same cell template as Items) get the empty-slot fill, presentation-only until staging.

All nine findings from the buy-arc review, at root: F1 the materializer's retire pass re-checks ownership (guid->vendorId map; remove only while the live object's ContainerId still equals the recording vendor) — buying a player-sold UNIQUE no longer deletes the item you just purchased; the discriminating reparent-then-refresh test pins it. F2 the cost/name display subscribes to the live split state and shares ONE quantity computation with Buy (retail re-renders per slider tick: RecvNotice_StackSliderChanged 0x004C4500) — the sentence and the charge can no longer disagree. F3 shop rows never mint drag payloads (UiItemSlot.AllowDragSource gates both IsDragSource AND GetDragPayload — the second gate was caught by this pass's own test). F4 sendBuy reports whether anything was sent; a null-session buy cancels the reservation instead of leaking BusyCount forever. F5 the retire loop snapshots, isolates per-guid observer failures, and clears its tracking in finally and Dispose — teardown convergence can no longer wedge. F6 auto-select is retail's unconditional first-filtered-item shape (pc:201180-201184; the survival-check was our invention and the comment claiming otherwise is corrected). F7 non-stack buys clamp to quantity 1 locally (BuySingleItem pc:201669). F8 the Add button is hard-disabled until staging exists. F9 AP-161/162/163 rewritten to the post-fix reality. Clean-room complete solution: 11,378 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed. The #350 render-ledger overflow observed this session is under separate investigation and is NOT addressed here.

Three ordered pieces in one landing (the shared controller/composition files carry all three; the internal order was 6.1 -> 6.2 -> 6.3): 6.1 VendorShopItemMaterializer diff-merges the shop list into the live ClientObjectTable on VendorState transitions (so client-local close and session teardown retire the entries too) and never claims a guid it did not add — ACE's UniqueItemsForSale can re-list a guid a player once held (AP-163 files the collision-skip; no retail counterpart traced). Right-click examine on shop items now routes through the ordinary appraisal path — the 5.4 F7c blocker dissolves with the table entries. 6.2 SelectionChangeSource.Vendor: row clicks, auto-select, and examine all flow through the canonical SelectionState; the status bar and the existing byte-faithful StackSplitQuantityState slider light up unmodified. VendorSplitPolicy is the single 0xDC41CB0 mask owner; the slider VALUE seeds to 1 for exempt items while maxSplitSize keeps the stack (the splitSize/maxSplitSize distinction, research §B.3). Selection clears at retail's actual site — VendorItemsUI::RemoveFromShop (pc:202848), not a CloseVendor-level clear that does not exist. 6.3 BuildBuy (0x005F): vendorGuid, count, (i32 amount, u32 guid) pairs, and the trailing alternateCurrencyId the REAL client sends (CM_Vendor::Event_Buy pc:689288) though ACE's reader ignores it. TryBuy rides the EXISTING J5.2 one-request-at-a-time reservation and completes on UseDone; the Buy button disables while a request is in flight. The reconciliation round-trip (money property update, inventory CreateObject, ApproachVendor refresh -> panel rebuild) is proven by a synthetic-inbound test against existing machinery — no new owner. Register: AP-161 narrowed (selection + examine residuals close; staging/Sell remain; double-click-to-buy confirmed ABSENT from retail with negative evidence cited — we match retail).

The adversarial review's three blocking findings, each fixed at root: 1. A vendor session now CLOSES when its entity retires (despawn, death, ObjectDelete) and at teleport BEGIN (HasPendingTeleportStart || IsTeleportActive at the existing per-frame seam — both hosts funnel through RuntimeWorldTransitState.TryQueueTeleportStart, which flips the pending flag strictly before activation). The previous permissive early-return stranded the session forever: panel pinned to a stale guid, ActiveVendorId swallowing Use for the rest of the session. 2. VendorShopItem carries the desc's stack size, and VendorPricing.PerUnitValue ports retail's stack-total division (VendorProfile::VendorSellPrice 0x005D1B00: <= 0 guard, integer division) — a stack of 50 arrows now prices per arrow, not at 50x. 3. VendorState.Close() guards its observer fanout with the dispatcher's catch-and-log semantics — a throwing panel listener can no longer propagate into the unprotected per-frame path. Register honesty rides along: the 0.6 m UseRadius fallback was acdream's invention (ACE's CheckClose has no fallback; retail passes the raw authored radius) — removed, the watcher now uses the raw radius and AP-160's citations are corrected and extended with the accepted-position-snapshot cadence; AD-72 files VendorPricing's double-vs-x87-extended narrowing (AD-33's class, bounded by the ±0.1 margin).

The sole VendorState joins the J4.2 inventory owners: populated by the new 0x0062 ApproachVendor route (parse via VendorApproach, wire-to- domain mapping at the routing seam, silent-drop on malformed like every sibling), borrowed by both graphical and headless hosts, and torn down through the EXISTING ExternalContainer reset stage — session reset, portal-out, and logout all funnel through the one mechanism. Close is client-local per retail (nothing on the wire): a range watcher rides the existing per-advanced-frame publishMovement callback, using the vendor's own authored UseRadius (ACE's 0.6 m fallback when absent). The dormant ItemInteractionController ActiveVendorId seam is finally wired as a live delegate — real id while open, 0 the moment the session clears. AP-160 filed in this same commit: the watcher measures plain 3D center distance rather than retail's cylinder-gap, because Runtime has no per-NPC collision radius/height source; bounded sub-meter, client- local UI only. Twelve Runtime tests: populate/field mapping, vendor replacement, range clear + within-range retention, all three generation teardowns, the ActiveVendorId seam, malformed-event drop.

Third attempt, landed on evidence where the first two correctly refused: the ten-run stability gate passed 10/10 bit-identical (0x42667451, two clean-room cycles among the runs), the recalibrated golden's every value measured with derivations rather than guessed, and the historical measurement flip stands recorded as unexplained-but-unreproducible after 37 hunt runs plus these 10 found no divergence anywhere. The mechanism, completing the S4b byte-pin: validate_walkable plants the sphere at perpendicular r*N.z (byte-faithful, untouched); this push fires once per settle and lifts to tangent equilibrium dist=r, where the trigger goes quiet — retail's slope hover, arriving via the push exactly as the original substitution's own comment predicted retail had. Sabotage: restoring radius*N.z reddens the discriminating exact-value test verbatim. AD-65 conformance, the uphill no-flap guard, and the #331 absorb pin all green untouched. AD-66 retired (the campaign's last withheld row); AD-69's seam-frame correction deliberately unbundled, stays active as its own follow-up. Clean-room suite 11,267 / 4 / 0 — the suite's two AD-66 skips are gone. User's "port the retail pair" decision is now fully executed; the hover-look slope gate is the remaining acceptance.

test(physics): settle #331 — the uphill "refusal" is the #137 anti-parallel absorb, not a defect
#331 reported that `PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition` refuses ALL uphill
motion whenever a `body:` is supplied. It does not. It refuses a step whose
sub-step offset is exactly anti-parallel to a live sliding normal — the
#137-family absorb this project already recorded as retail-faithful.
Measured on the same fixture, same gradient, same body, varying only the
heading relative to the slope gradient:
(0, -0.1, 0) cross-slope 0 -> zero movement, latched
(0.0001,-0.1, 0) cross-slope 0.0001 m -> zero movement, latched
(0.001, -0.1, 0) cross-slope 0.001 m -> climbs 0.176 m in 5 ticks
(0.01, -0.1, 0) cross-slope 0.01 m -> climbs 0.176 m in 5 ticks
The threshold is retail's own F_EPSILON small-offset abort (0.0002 m): about
0.11 degrees off the exact gradient at a 0.1 m step. `RemoteRampHarness`
builds a ramp whose gradient is exactly along Y and the original probe pushed
exactly along -Y, so it hit the measure-zero case with probability 1.
The latch itself is production-real in mechanism — a pure gravity fall under
the production RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater, with no fixture settle seam
involved, lands leaving Contact|OnWalkable|Sliding with slidingNormal (0,1,0)
— but every link is faithful to retail, verified in the PDB-paired binary
rather than Binary Ninja (BN typed find_transitional_position `void` and
dropped the load-bearing return value):
validate_walkable sets collision_normal from the terrain plane when
OBJECTINFO CONTACT is clear 0x0050d251 / 0x0050d261 / 0x0050d26c
validate_transition converts it unconditionally 0x0050ac19-0x0050ac30
set_sliding_normal zeroes Z AND re-normalizes 0x0050a060
SetPositionInternal persists SLIDING_TS 0x005154c2 / 0x005154e1
get_object_info re-seeds it next frame 0x00511d44 / 0x00511d4f
find_transitional_position returns
`i != 0 && state == OK` on the step-0 abort 0x0050c0ed -> 0x0050c089
ACE agrees (Transition.cs:1027, CollisionInfo.cs:58). No production code
changed; no divergence introduced, so no register row.
What lands is the coverage whose absence made this invisible — nothing in the
suite asserted that a body-bearing mover makes uphill progress on a walkable
slope, and the test that found #331 passed vacuously because the body never
moved:
RuntimeRemoteUphillProgressTests.ARemoteWithABodyClimbsAWalkableSlopeAndKeepsItsFeetOnIt
per-tick climb + surface tracking under a realistic off-gradient heading.
SAB-A1 AdjustOffset -> Vector3.Zero reddens at tick 1
SAB-A2 fixture gradient -> 0 (flat) reddens at tick 1
RuntimeRemoteUphillProgressTests.AnExactlyUpSlopeOffsetIsAbsorbedByThePersistedSlidingNormal
characterization pin for the absorb, with the retail anchors inline.
SAB-B1 delete the get_object_info sliding seed reddens (climbs to 57.7544)
SAB-A1 reddens
SAB-A2 reddens
NON-discriminating, measured and documented: making the final tick
exactly up-slope leaves it green — by then the latch is already cleared.
RemoteRampHarness gains a warning block naming the axis-alignment trap so the
next vacuous uphill assertion is caught at authoring time.

test(physics): measure whether the remote sweep alone tracks surface Z (AD-10 Stage 0)
AD-10 claims the remote slope projection is "relocated" out of the sweep
because "remote bodies don't run a full local transition sweep". That
justification is false at HEAD: RuntimeRemotePhysicsUpdater.Tick calls
PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition with the remote's own body, and that
sweep runs acdream's verbatim port of CTransition::adjust_offset
(0x0050a370, pc:272271-272393) once per sub-step. So the boundary
projection is an EXTRA layer, not a relocation — and whether it is doing
anything the sweep does not is a measurement, never an argument.
This commit builds the fixture for that measurement and changes no
production code.
RuntimeRemoteSteepContactSlideTests' private Harness is extracted to
RemoteRampHarness so the new tests share it instead of cloning ~180 lines.
The extraction is behaviour-preserving; its only additions are the
fixture's own TerrainSurface (so an assertion about "is the body on the
surface" is answered by the surface geometry rather than by
re-implementing what the code under test computed), a SurfaceZ helper, and
a Tick overload that supplies a per-frame body-local root displacement —
the locomotion-cycle push a running remote actually carries. All ten Bug B
tests pass unchanged against it.
RuntimeRemoteSlopeProjectionTests then drives the production tick 30 ticks
down a 31-degree walkable ramp and asserts, on EVERY tick rather than at
the end, that the body's root stays within 5 mm of its settled offset from
the terrain beneath it. A staircase catching up on the final tick would
pass a start/end comparison; 30 unprojected ticks accumulate ~1.8 m.
Sabotage results, all from clean builds (bin/obj deleted), reported in
both directions:
* Discard the sweep's answer (Body.Position = postIntegratePos instead
of resolveResult.Position): RED at tick 1, body 0.05999 m off the
surface. This is the tracking test's discriminating sabotage.
* Flatten the ramp to gradient 0: RED on the anti-vacuity guard
(dz = 0.0000 m). That guard exists because the tracking assertion
passes trivially on flat ground, where Z never has to move.
* Short-circuit Transition.AdjustOffset to `return offset;`: GREEN.
Recorded, not hidden — it is the reason the contract's proposed T1
sabotage was rejected. On terrain the sweep has a SECOND independent
way to plant Z: ValidateWalkable's push-out re-seats the sphere at its
natural resting distance from the terrain plane every sub-step.
Removing the step-down probe as well does not change it either
(measured). The tests therefore assert the OUTCOME the projection
exists for, and say in their own doc comments that they are not unit
tests of adjust_offset and must not be cited as such.
One test the contract asked for is deliberately absent. An uphill
counterpart was written, passed, and was then found VACUOUS: on this
fixture ResolveWithTransition returns ok=False for uphill motion and the
body does not move at all, so it "tracked the surface" by standing still.
That finding is filed separately rather than shipped as a green test.

fix(streaming): derive the portal reveal window from the live streaming radii (#280)
The user watched far terrain visibly assemble after portal space exits.
The reveal gate was NOT missing a hold — Slice E's hold mechanism is
correct and already in place. The hold was measuring the wrong domain:
it opened at a hardcoded 3x3 landblock neighbourhood (~192 m) while the
visible world extends to the fog end (~2,189 m at the shipped High
preset, inside a 2,304 m Far window). An 11.4:1 ratio.
Retail's equivalent ratio is 1:1 BY CONSTRUCTION. `LScape` owns one
`mid_width x mid_width` array of `CLandBlock*` (`LScape::SetMidRadius`
@0x00504C00, `LScape::update_block` @0x005063A0), `mid_radius` is
assigned directly from the user's `Render.LandscapeDrawDistance`
preference (`SmartBox::SetRegion` @0x004531F0; values
`Render_LandscapeDrawDistance_Values` @0x007CA988 = {3,5,8,11,15,25},
default 8 — both byte-verified against the PDB-paired 2013 binary), and
that same square is simultaneously the prefetched set
(`LScape::PreFetchCells` @0x00505660), the drawn set (`block_draw_list`
over the same array), and the set the simulation blocks on
(`CellManager::blocking_for_cells`). There is no retail configuration in
which the client streams farther than it gates, because there is only
one number.
So the fix derives rather than duplicates. Four coupled parts, which is
why this is one commit and not four — D1 without D2 hangs the client and
D2 without D1 is dead code:
D1 `WorldRevealReadinessBarrier` takes a live `Func<StreamingRevealWindow>`
and stops being static: outdoor requires `FarRadius`, indoor still 0
(retail's `CEnvCell::PreFetchCells` @0x0052D1E0 arm). Read per
evaluation, never captured — the radii are runtime mutable through
Settings, and retail's answer to a mid-hold radius change is to reset,
re-radius, and re-arm the blocking prefetch at the NEW value
(`SmartBox::set_mid_radius` @0x00453180). `OutdoorNeighborhoodRadius`
is deleted; there is no constant left to drift.
D2 `StreamingController.IsRenderNeighborhoodResident` becomes tiered,
because acdream's loaded landscape is: inside `NearRadius`,
`IsNearTier && IsRenderReady`; out to `FarRadius`, `IsRenderReady` only.
Without this the fix cannot work at all — nothing outside the Near ring
is ever promoted, so any radius above `NearRadius` was unsatisfiable and
would have held the reveal forever. Proof obligation P1 (a Far-tier
landblock genuinely satisfies `IsRenderReady`) is now a test driven
through the real `PublicationKind.Far` pipeline against a real
`LandblockSpawnAdapter`, not an inference.
D7 `RuntimeWorldTransitState.AcknowledgeDestinationReadiness` re-derived
`indoor ? 0 : 1` and failed `invalid-readiness-shape` on any other
value, so changing the radius alone would have looked like "the fix
hangs the client". It is now a SHAPE invariant (`indoor => 0`,
`outdoor => >= 1`). Runtime does not own the graphical host's streaming
configuration and must not learn it; plumbing App radii into Runtime to
preserve the strict equality is exactly the assert-a-mechanism-that-does-
not-exist failure C5b was built to stop. Both non-graphical producers
keep emitting their centre-ring token and stay legal, annotated in place.
D6 `PhysicsEngine.IsNeighborhoodTerrainResident` rebuilt a full-map
`HashSet` on every call, every frame of every hold. At radius 1 that was
invisible; at radius 12 (625 ring members) it violates Slice I1's
0 B/resolve standard. Now an engine-owned scratch set, cleared in place;
measured at 0 bytes over 1,000 warmed radius-12 queries.
Also: the destination reservation opens at exactly the gate's radius and
reopens on the same generation when the radius changes mid-hold (retail
has one square for both, and no concept of prioritising an inner ring
differently). Composite warmup deliberately stays `NearRadius`-scoped —
the composite domain is entity-scoped and Far builds carry no entities,
so widening it would walk the outer window to warm nothing.
`ACDREAM_PROBE_REVEAL_RADIUS` is a measurement probe in a diagnostic
owner (CLAUDE.md rule 5) so the connected route can be run A/B on one
binary; it is NOT a user-facing prefetch knob, since a low setting would
reintroduce the decoupling this slice exists to close.
Register: AD-2 amended with the derived window, the two-tier split, and
the four new retail anchors. AP-149 FILED for the residual this does not
close — the outer ring accepts terrain-only publication where retail
requires LandBlockInfo and every building EnvCell, so a distant building
can still pop in at Far-ring distances. Do not let a later closeout
claim parity.
Docs: `ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS`'s CLAUDE.md description was wrong on every
clause (the default is unset, not 2; it forces `NearRadius`; it is
silently discarded by any Settings save) — corrected, since that is the
file every session reads. `reference_two_tier_streaming.md` corrected in
four ways, including "Far tier = terrain only": Far also publishes
terrain COLLISION, which is precisely what makes this fix viable.
#280's issue text had the right conclusion from a wrong premise (it
names a view-distance setting acdream does not have) — corrected, and
the missing Viewing Distance option filed separately as #326, with #327
(DDD progress readout) and #328 (hardcoded 5000 f far plane vs retail's
byte-verified 4000) filed alongside.
Expect LONGER holds and the "In Portal Space - Please Wait..." cue on
recalls MORE often. That is convergence toward retail, not away from it:
retail emits the byte-identical string for the whole duration of a
blocked prefetch and polls at 5 s intervals. The failure condition is
non-convergence, not duration.

fix(runtime): close the C5b re-review findings — Gate A narrowing filed, no-window payload gate, bisect hazard recorded
Both C5b re-reviews returned PASS on 02578441..ff100cf3. This lands the bookkeeping corrections they left, the one gate asymmetry both found independently, and one wrong retail fact neither of them caught. 1. AP-148 / #325 — Gate A's teleport test, wrong on primary source twice. The C5b contract stated retail's Gate A teleport term as "TELEPORT_TS equal" (and, in the trace block, as "must NOT be newer") and blessed acdream's `teleport == _timestamps[Teleport]` as retail-exact. Disassembly of the PDB-paired binary at SmartBox::HandleReceivedPosition 0x0045402B-0x00454054 says otherwise: the shortcut is taken iff the wire stamp is equal OR newer (wrap-safe) — `sbb eax,eax / neg eax` materialises the carry of the compare and the branch skips Gate A on CF, i.e. only when the wire stamp is strictly OLDER. It is CPhysicsObj::newer_event @0x00451B10's identical idiom with the operands swapped. Binary Ninja drops the flag test and renders it `if (-((eax_7 - eax_7)) == 0)`, always true — which is why two rounds of reading pseudo-C recorded it backwards. So acdream's ForcePosition disposition is a strict SUBSET of retail's Gate A set, and a local ForcePosition carrying a newer teleport stamp is misrouted into a full Apply: wire heading instead of preserved heading, unparent, possible placement frame, zeroed velocity, TELEPORT_TS advanced, and OfferTeleportDestination called for a packet retail never starts presentation for. PhysicsTimestampGate.cs is NOT changed. The predicate exists twice (also ValidAcceptedAuthority's PreviousTeleport == AcceptedTeleport), and the fix has to decide TELEPORT_TS's disposition on a Gate A path that has never seen a stale-but-equal pair. #325 records all of it and says explicitly that it is not a one-line comparison swap. C5b made this marginally better, not worse: clearParent was unconditionally true before C5b and is unchanged; installPlacementFrame moved toward retail's HasAnims gate. 2. Retail F2 / architecture L-A — the no-window route had no pre-merge payload validation. Root fix, not a documented asymmetry. The graphical route validates before the merge (OnPosition's payloadIsValid -> LiveEntityInboundAuthorityGate's !payloadIsValid return); despite its name CanAcceptPositionPayload is not projectile-scoped. The no-window route had no equivalent, and since D1 fed an unvalidated LandblockId into CommitWireCellRebucket — where 0 is the withdrawal shape, silently de-residencing the entity in the field every bot reads as CellId. RuntimeLiveEntitySessionController.OnPositionUpdated now applies the same rule at the same point, reusing RuntimeAuthoritativePositionRouteClassifier.IsValidCreateWirePosition plus the finite-velocity term — the exact pair TryApplyPosition already applies on its initial-residence branch. Chosen over documenting it because the fix is five lines and leaving it would have left two written claims falsified by the code. It is a behaviour change: headless now drops packets it merged. Against ACE the set is empty, and the graphical host has carried this gate since it was written; the argument is recorded in the contract's §15.2 rather than gated. Two test fixtures carried cell ids retail's own inbound_valid_cellid rejects (low words 0x41 and 0x51, above the 0x40 landcell ceiling). Their constants were corrected; their assertions were not. New test sabotage-verified in both directions: gate removed -> red at the withdrawal-shape assertion; gate moved to guard only the cell commit -> red at the pose assertion, which is what makes it a before-the-MERGE test rather than a before-the-commit test. 3. Register and doc corrections. - AD-64: "deliberately absent" was presented as the complete difference list and was not. Adds (a) the residence gate is weaker than the merge's own — both hosts' commits use TryGetCurrent while TryApplyPosition's FIFO branch uses TryGetTransaction, so the wire cell can commit ahead of the continuation that will replay it; (b) the two missile gates are two different expressions that agree today; (c) the payload gate, now present. Risk column records that (a) and (b) have no discriminating test on either side. - AP-147: amended for D1 — pre-D1 the no-window host published [Updated] alone and lost the Rebucketed, so a headless event log is now a real instance of the "consumer that snapshots a delta" the row warns about. - AD-60: "Matches retail exactly" scoped to the withhold, since the row's body documents two channels that do not. - CommitWireCellRebucket: notes the unreachable ThrowIfNull / EnsureNotDisposed precedence inversion. - TryCommitAcceptedWireCell: the discarded commit bool is explained rather than left bare — false means IsCurrent went stale, unreachable three statements after a synchronous TryGetActive. 4. Bisect hazard recorded in the C4 closeout handoff (the doc CLAUDE.md sends readers to before any C5 work) and in the contract's §15.3: commits 735f0a72..23aa62f2 contain a live headless defect — every remote's FullCellId frozen for the session — introduced by |

fix(physics): classify before merge on every steady-state Position (C5b, #275, AP-131/AD-60)
The steady-state accepted-Position merge did two things retail never does,
on every single Position packet: it installed the wire placement frame and
unparented unconditionally, and it derived the record's FullCellId from
bare wire acceptance. Both are now correct, and they land together - a
half-flipped intermediate (classified flags with the wire stamp, or vice
versa) is exactly the mixed-residency state this campaign keeps paying for.
WHY the flags need no route. SmartBox::HandleReceivedPosition @0x00453FD0
decides both pre-placement writes BEFORE MoveOrTeleport is consulted: Gate A
@0x0045400C returns @0x0045409D ahead of unset_parent @0x00454129 and ahead
of the HasAnims SetPlacementFrame gate @0x00454137. Neither gate reads the
near/far/teleport classification. So the two flags are a pure function of
(disposition, hasAnimations) and are computable inside the merge, pre-merge,
with no signature change, no route construction and no playerDistance - the
scoping's ~150-400-line route-plumbing estimate over-counted because it did
not see this. That truth table IS
RuntimeAuthoritativePositionRouteClassifier.ClassifyAcceptedPosition's own
ApplyPlacementFrameBeforeRouting/UnparentBeforeRouting rows; the classifier
stays the oracle and the equality is pinned by test, not by a shared path,
so each computation remains separately sabotage-verifiable.
WHY the cell is withheld. HandleReceivedPosition reads the wire objcell_id
into a LOCAL @0x00453FE3 and hands it only to BlipPlayer / TeleportPlayer /
MoveOrTeleport / ConstrainTo; it never assigns the object's cell. The
object's cell moves inside the placement family (SetPositionInternal
@0x00515BD0 to set_cell, enter_world) or per-frame transit, and nowhere
else. The continuation executor has encoded that rule since the executor
slice; this caller now matches it verbatim.
WHAT DELIBERATELY SURVIVES. Two steady-state wire-cell writers stay,
downstream of the merge and outside the classification window: the
OnPosition prologue rebucket (W2, into CommitRebucket), which is also the
local player's own cell-freshness path, and the post-routing wire-cell adopt
for non-placing arms (W3, AP-135). Gating W2 "for symmetry" would freeze the
player's canonical cell between teleports and #319's child-cell equality
would inherit the freeze. AD-60's rewrite names both so the retirement
cannot be misread as "wire acceptance never changes residency anywhere".
REGISTER. AP-131 RETIRED - the unconditional literals no longer exist; the
caller was corrected, not deleted, so the row's own "deleted at the
production cutover" framing is overtaken. AD-60's legacy half RETIRED and
the row REWRITTEN rather than deleted, naming W2/W3 (route 4b-3's D8
precedent: a silent whole-row deletion would hide surviving channels).
AP-130 amended - the merge consumes the same static HasAnimations proxy,
deliberately not escalated to a live animation-queue read. AP-146 and #320
amended - their "accepted inbound Position (RefreshSnapshot into
RuntimeEntityRecord.cs:234)" local-player cell writer is now the generic
tail's CommitRebucket, and a ForcePosition (which returns before that tail)
is placement-receipt-authoritative. #275 closed.
HEADLINE BEHAVIOURAL DELTA, stated once: a refused or contended local
ForcePosition now leaves FullCellId at the last committed cell where the
merge used to stamp the refused packet's wire cell. Retail cannot refuse
(AD-62) and its body keeps its last placed cell, so the new shape is the
retail-reachable one.
THREE CONSUMER SITES THE CONTRACT'S BLAST-RADIUS SURVEY MISSED, all
D2-caused, all found by the suite rather than by reading, all intended
semantics rather than regressions (recorded in the contract's new section
14):
(1) DatLiveEntityProjectionMaterializer's self-projection branch reads
FullCellId inside OnPosition's prologue recovery, ahead of W2. It now
correctly declines to project from an unplaced wire claim; production
installs the bucket at W2 in the same call (verified: no return between
the recovery call and W2 is conditioned on IsSpatiallyProjected or
FullCellId). Two hydration tests asserted the bucket at the recovery
boundary and now drive the production W2 step - the same shape as trap
T2, one layer up.
(2) ProjectileController.SyncPresentationFromResolvedBody writes
ParentCellId = record.FullCellId. On a refused missile placement that is
now the committed source cell. The MAJOR-1 invariant is unchanged and is
now asserted as the identity it always meant rather than as a wire-cell
constant.
(3) The merge's Rebucketed ternary does NOT become always-Updated as the
contract predicted, and is deliberately kept: the
Forget(restoreCancelledPark: true) above it can roll a wakeable
lost-cell park back, and RestoreParkWithdrawal restores canonical
residency. That is a real cell edge produced inside this method by a
placement owner.

refactor(physics): delete legacy PhysicsEngine.Resolve/ResolvePlacement/HasCellSurface (C5a, AP-1/AD-1)
Member-wise deletion of the three legacy resolver members named in docs/research/2026-08-05-c5a-contract.md: PhysicsEngine.Resolve, PhysicsEngine.HasCellSurface, and PhysicsEngine.ResolvePlacement. An exhaustive receiver census over src/ found zero production callers of any of the three — every production placement writer already reaches the canonical PhysicsEngine.SetPosition transaction exclusively through RuntimeSetPositionState (three call sites total). The deletion is purely member-wise: IsSpawnCellReady and AdjustPosition, which shared the same source region as the deleted members, are preserved byte-identical — every remaining production caller of either (including PhysicsCameraCollisionProbe, AdjustPosition's sole surviving production caller) is unaffected. Companion changes: - PlayerMovementController's 3-argument SetPosition test overload is renamed to SeedPlacementForTest (internal) and CommitPreparedPosition is deleted; 83 call sites across 19 test files were mechanically renamed to match. - Seven pinned test dispositions from the contract are executed: 3.1 (PhysicsEngineTests.cs: 11 legacy-resolver tests deleted, 6 ResolveWithTransition tests kept), 3.2/3.3/3.4 (re-point to canonical SetPosition, with TransitionScratchDifferentialTests.cs additionally gaining positive IsCommitted assertions after each bitwise comparison so the differential proves a placement actually committed, not just that two possibly-uncommitted results match), 3.5 (Runtime rename), and 3.6 (PlayerMovementPlacementTransactionTests.cs rewritten — its xmldoc now states plainly that the render-root publish moved to RuntimeSetPositionState.cs, but the sticky-release relocation claim was false and is retracted; this disposition's coverage loss is the sticky release path, not silently absorbed elsewhere). - Stale `PhysicsEngine.Resolve`/`Resolve` doc citations in CellTransit.cs, PlayerMovementController.cs, and HeadlessSessionWorldProjection.cs are corrected to name the surviving canonical entry points by symbol (SetPosition, AdjustSetPosition/AdjustPosition, ResolveWithTransition) rather than fragile line numbers. Retires AP-1 and AD-1 in docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md: both rows described production zero-delta placement routing remaining on the legacy resolver pending the Slice 4B2/4B route cutover; that resolver no longer exists, so the condition each row tracked is now structurally false rather than merely narrowed. AP-145 (routed through the prior commit) and this commit's AP-1/AD-1 together bring the section counts to 101 AP / 47 AD active rows. Builds on the AP-145 fix (previous commit) — this commit's staged tree was independently rebuilt and its four suites independently rerun on top of that commit before this commit was created, in addition to the combined rebuild/rerun below. Full-solution build: 0 errors (21 pre-existing warnings, all unrelated). Suite results (combined tree): Core 4270/4271 passed (1 skip; the single DatSoundCacheTests concurrent-decode-dedup failure is a known load-sensitive race, confirmed passing standalone and unrelated to this change), Runtime 1176/1176, Headless 86/86, App 4132/4135 (3 skips).

fix(physics): bind a parented child to the parent's live incarnation (#319)
A player-parented child never received a canonical cell. Its FullCellId stayed 0 for its whole attached lifetime, so it could not follow the player across a boundary. Scope was wider than the local player: every REMOTE player's equipment too. ROOT CAUSE. EquippedChildRenderController hardcoded ParentInstanceSequence: 0 for a parented CreateObject. Correct for creatures and statics, which really are sequence 0; wrong for players, whose ObjectInstance is Character.TotalLogins (ACE Player_Networking.cs:37). The relation filed under (playerGuid, 0) while the record carried TotalLogins, so both route-7 write sites — D1's attach re-cell and D2's propagation lookup — keyed on an incarnation that never matched. TryCommitParent did not validate the sequence, so the attach succeeded and printed normally. Silent. A ROUTE 7 REGRESSION ( |

fix(physics): C4 route 3 — portal placement authority (local player)
Removes a duplicate placement authority for local-player portal arrival. Portalling worked before this change and works after it — this is not a bug fix, EXCEPT that it found and fixed one dead-code production bug. THE PRODUCTION BUG: TryExecuteCanonicalPortalPlacement re-read the accepted destination at Place time, but TryBeginPortalReveal already consumes that slot at Aim time — so the arm was 100% dead code and every real portal Place refused with host-token-unavailable. Found only because we refused to accept 7 skipped tests instead of chasing the count to zero. RETAIL IS THE GENERIC PATH FOR THE THIRD ROUTE RUNNING: SmartBox::TeleportPlayer @0x00453910 = SetPositionSimple(dest, 1) with flags 0x1012, followed by PlayerPositionUpdated. BOTH INVERSIONS, WITH THEIR ANCHORS: unlike route 2, the leash IS armed here (ConstrainTo @0x0045418A) and velocity is zeroed (set_velocity @0x004541B4); unlike route 4b-3, the local teleport_hook runs AFTER placement (@0x004538AE). THE THREE-ROUND DEFECT CHAIN, HONESTLY: - Round 1 released the player at the pre-teleport position while the anim stream marched on — the contract wrongly assumed Place re-fires (process rule 1's third occurrence this campaign). - Round 2's fix inferred commit from a global PendingCount, which three non-committing paths also clear — making the SAME bug complete cleanly and silently. Strictly worse than round 1: round 1 at least tripped portal-complete-before-materialized. - Round 3 latches the commit where it actually happens (ReconcileAndAcknowledgePortal), keyed on reveal generation and teleport sequence, via TryConsumePortalCommit. Two of the three required regression tests landed and are sabotage-verified on both hosts (ParkedPlace_ForgottenByOrdinaryMergeDoesNotLatchAsCommitted / HeadlessPortalPrepareDestinationForgottenByOrdinaryMergeDoesNotLatchAsCommitted). The third (force-arm-takes-the-slot) was judged unnecessary on review: with the inference gone, PendingCount is only a "don't ask yet" guard at both gates, so a force operation occupying or vacating the slot no longer changes an input the commit decision reads — the case collapses into what the landed test already discriminates. THE B2/P3 RESOLUTION: both round-2 reviews were right about different branches of the same synchronous call. RuntimePlacementProjectionSubscription .OnPlacement acknowledges the FIFO head only when TryApply returns true; a Place whose portal authority went stale (transit ended/superseded while parked) used to return false, wedging every later entity's placement receipt behind it forever. Both sinks (RuntimePlacementPresentationSink, HeadlessRuntimePlacementProjectionSink) now acknowledge-and-ignore a stale-authority Place instead of refusing it. The regression test (RuntimePlacementPresentationSinkTests .PortalPlace_StaleTransitHostOrSequenceIsAcknowledgedAndIgnored) had been asserting the old, wrong `false` behaviour; it now asserts and sabotage-verifies the fix. Also lands: AP-144 (register discipline — the portal movement-event send reuses the stricter UsePositionFromServer gate where retail's SendMovementEvent is the looser autonomy_level != 0 test, diverging only at level 1, currently unreachable), AP-145 + issue #318 (the local-player collision-shadow presentation write bypasses its own publisher's ShadowObjects write via a direct cache .Set(), self-healing only once dedup diverges — filed, not fixed, pending a composition test), AD-42 deleted (its last citation retired by the canonical portal arm), AD-2 updated (the wait-cue's trigger predicate now covers a second cause), and two documentation corrections: the enter_world misattribution (both call sites are in SmartBox::HandleCreateObject, only one in the player branch — portal arrival is TeleportPlayer, not enter_world) and the stale "local player never reaches this path" comment on the generic-remote-render-pose write. Suite: 11,090 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed. No new skips, nothing weakened. STILL OWED: the connected two-client gate, with ACDREAM_PROBE_LOCAL_TELEPORT=1, scored only if [local-tp] lines actually appear in the capture — and explicitly NOT scored as covering issue #318 (no composition test yet asserts PhysicsEngine.ShadowObjects directly).

fix(physics): C4 route 7 — child cell propagation moves from a render tick into Runtime
Retail re-cells children when their parent crosses a cell, recursively, to unbounded depth. acdream did it from a RENDER tick, so headless parented children were cell-less forever and the canonical cell had two writers.

fix(physics): C4 route 5 — projectile authoritative placement (#276 partial)
Ports retail's missile Position handling into the canonical Runtime
placement owner instead of the deleted ApplyAuthoritativePosition
short-circuit. The Create/residence-window halves of the projectile
pipeline (RuntimeProjectile binding, TryBind's adopted-body branch,
the collision/shadow registration) were already canonical from prior
slices; this closes the remaining gap — how an ACCEPTED Position for
an in-flight missile is classified, placed, and presented.
Byte-decode (Step 1 hard gate, before any code was written):
CPhysicsObj::MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330-0x00516438 disassembled from
the PDB-paired binary (Capstone, x86 32-bit thiscall). `ret 0x10`
establishes four stack args; [esp+0x7c] (arg5, the velocity pointer)
is never referenced in any of the three branches (teleport/near/far).
The retail reviewer independently reproduced this by searching the
whole function body for the `24 7c` mod/rm+disp8 encoding a
`[esp+0x7c]` read would require and found zero occurrences. This
retired a fabricated `?? Vector3.Zero` fallback in the deleted method
— retail's PositionPack::UnPack initializes an absent velocity to
zero and MoveOrTeleport never installs it; the projectile's Vector
channel (RuntimeProjectilePhysicsUpdater.ApplyAuthoritativeVector)
remains the sole velocity authority for a missile. D-P5 in the
contract; the Runtime seam commits no velocity from the Position
packet at all.
The unbound-missile fix: RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime's
ClassifyRemoteAcceptedPosition now derives ProjectileAuthoritative
from a CONJUNCTIVE predicate — the Missile bit AND a bound
RuntimeProjectile whose Body is the canonical PhysicsBody — never the
bit alone. Retail places every non-player CPhysicsObj unconditionally
(there is no missile-specific placement gate in MoveOrTeleport or its
callers), so an unbindable or not-yet-bound missile taking the
ordinary remote tail is retail-faithful, not a fallback: the earlier
bit-only discriminator would have silently frozen it instead.
AP-141 records this as a deliberate, recorded divergence, not
fidelity. Retail mechanically WOULD arm a missile's ConstrainTo leash
on any nonzero MoveOrTeleport return: HandleReceivedPosition
@0x00453FD0's only kind test is player-vs-not, ConstrainTo
@0x00454272 has no kind test of its own, and CPhysicsObj::ConstrainTo
@0x00510520 creates a PositionManager on demand via
MakePositionManager @0x00510523 if one doesn't exist. acdream
deliberately does not construct that EntityPhysicsHost/
PositionManager/InterpolationManager chain for a ballistic body — the
route-5b split the C4 route 5 contract rejected — so a live missile
never shows an armed leash and never catches up via the near/
UnroutedCatchUp policy. This divergence is safe specifically because
ACE never sends UpdatePosition for a missile
(references/ACE/Source/ACE.Server/WorldObjects/WorldObject_Tick.cs:
333-334, SendUpdatePosition() commented out inside the
PhysicsState.Missile branch at :265) — every half of this row is
deterministic-test-gated only, never exercised against a real server.
AP-141 also records the surviving ConstrainTo re-anchor divergence
under clause (b): for the adopted-body case (TryBind's shared-body
branch — an ordinary remote whose Missile bit is set by a later
State packet, so it still carries a live RemoteMotion), acdream now
ports retail's teleport-branch and far-branch StopInterpolating
action (Interp.Clear()), but never re-arms or re-anchors the
inherited ConstrainTo leash the way retail's HandleReceivedPosition
@0x00454254/@0x00454272 does on every nonzero return. The risk
column's earlier wording — that a stale leash "would drag the body
toward a stale anchor" — was wrong and is retracted in this same
commit: ConstraintManager.ConstraintPos is write-only in both retail
and the port (never read by AdjustOffset), and
ConstraintManager::adjust_offset @0x00556180 only tapers or zeroes an
already-composed per-tick offset while InContact — a leash brakes
motion the interp/sticky chain already produced, it cannot pull
anything toward the anchor. The real residual is one tick of un-reset
brake accumulator, contact-gated, and it cannot move an airborne
far-snapped missile at all (the clamp branch does not run while
airborne).
NO CONNECTED GATE EXISTS for this route, by design: ACE never sends a
missile UpdatePosition (see above), so retail's own server never
exercises this code path in play. Every proof obligation here is
test-gated only — Runtime and App-level fixtures constructing the
packet directly — never a live client/server capture.
Three review rounds closed 8 MAJOR findings before this landed:
round 1 (A1 App discarded the seam's status; A2/R1 silent swallow on
an unbound missile; A3/R2 the adopted-body teleport_hook never
wired; A4/A5 zero Runtime/App test coverage); round 2 (a
ParentCellId regression introduced by round 1's own R6 finding,
which the retail reviewer retracted the following round as factually
wrong — the fix here is the REVERT to record.FullCellId, not the
relocation round 1 shipped; B2 the far-branch StopInterpolating skip
never extended to the adopted-body case; residual App/Runtime store-
path coverage; a per-packet closure contradicting the file's own
#315 cached-delegate pattern). Round 3 closed on coverage alone (no
defect): the Advance() retry arm's projectile branch — added at
round 2, semantically reordered at round 2's B5 fix (skip prediction
invalidation on a re-parked Contention, since it writes nothing) —
had never been executed by any test; two new tests drive it directly
and are sabotage-verified against both the reordering and the
retry-arm's own SyncProjectilePresentation call site. The one
recorded defect this campaign produced (the ParentCellId regression)
was caused by complying with a review finding that its own author
later retracted — the standing lesson recorded for future rounds is
that review findings are evidence to re-verify against the code, not
commands to obey unconditionally.

feat(physics): C4 route 4b-3 — remote teleport + cell-less through the canonical placement
Flips the last remote classification (SetPosition: teleport-advanced and
cell-less) onto 4b-1's RuntimeRemotePlacementDriveController, runs retail's
teleport_hook before the placement, and deletes the legacy remote-teleport
machinery. Contract: docs/research/2026-08-04-c4-route-4b-3-contract.md.
Retail: MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330's branch @0x00516386 -> teleport_hook
@0x005163EF -> SetFlags(0x1012) @0x00516414 -> SetPosition @0x00516420 ->
return 1 @0x00516438. The hook @0x00514ED0 runs BEFORE the placement and
regardless of its outcome. Retail places this branch unconditionally, at any
distance and any contact state (arg4 is read only @0x0051638E, after the
branch) — which is what retires AP-137's cell-less enqueue-vs-place delta.
D1 — the classifier's cell-less input is now the PRE-merge committed cell.
Retail's predicate is `this_1->cell == 0`, the BODY's own cell at
MoveOrTeleport entry (this_1 is assigned from this @0x00516334). acdream fed
the POST-merge canonical.FullCellId, which RefreshSnapshot ->
RefreshDerivedState -> SetFullCell has already stamped with the accepted wire
cell; a zero wire cell fails validation into RejectedData first. The shipped
remote cell-less predicate was therefore dead code, not merely different from
remotePlacementRequired. Threaded via a builder overload; route 1's overload
is untouched. The graphical !IsSpatiallyVisible arm of
projectionRequiresTeleportHook is deleted — a presentation predicate with no
retail analogue that fired the teleport machinery on a routine hot path.
Deleted: RemoteTeleportController (605), RemoteTeleportPlacement (85),
RemoteShadowPlacementSynchronizer (49), their 1,709 lines of tests, the
remotePlacementRequired predicate, the TeleportHookRequired plumbing, the
legacy pre-operation ConstrainTo fallback, and the player arm's legacy
!IsGrounded fallback. Net -2,030 lines.
Structural fix (two independent Opus reviews, round 1 FAIL/FAIL): three of the
four MAJORs were one defect — OnPosition carried two parallel inline copies of
the routing tail (player-guid, NPC-guid) that had drifted. Extracted
RunRemoteArmTail (3 call sites) and ApplyWireAirborneLeftoverBookkeeping (2),
both branches now share one implementation.
A1 ToConstraintArm mapped AirborneSnap -> AirborneNoOperation, so the NPC
arm armed ConstrainTo ZERO times for an out-of-contact wire-grounded
creature — a regression this slice introduced while closing a
structurally identical hole. Now maps to NearInterpolate; switch made
total with a throwing default proven unreachable.
R1 D2's write-nothing shape existed on the player arm only; NPC packets
fell through and wrote the body. Retail makes no player/NPC distinction.
R2 report_collision_end(this,1) @0x00514F31 was bound to
ShadowObjects.Suspend, a port of a DIFFERENT retail function
(remove_shadows_from_cells) that teleport_hook never calls. Now routes
to RuntimeCollisionReportingState.LeaveWorld, which wraps the private
ForceEnd in an admission-blocking transaction so a DoCollisionEnd
callback cannot recreate the contact table.
R3/A2 A teleported NPC synthesized ServerVelocity from the teleport distance
(~1,000+ m/s) and planned a run cycle from it. Both the install and
RemoteServerControlledVelocityCycle.Apply now gate on !isTeleportRoute.
BISECT HAZARD — A1's fix is correct only BECAUSE R1 landed. AirborneSnap is
reachable wire-airborne on the NPC arm only while D2's shape is missing there.
Reverting R1 alone silently inverts A1 into the opposite divergence: arming
where retail returns 0. Revert both or neither.
Also in the velocity hunk: the NPC block's two !IsPlayerGuid(update.Guid)
guards were dropped when it was wrapped in `if (!isTeleportRoute)`. Safe — all
five exit paths of the enclosing IsPlayerGuid block return, so the predicate is
unconditionally false below it — but it was unremarked by both reviews.
Register: AP-137 REWRITTEN (not deleted) to the surviving acdream-only
divergences — null classification during the login window and Rejected*
through UnroutedCatchUp keep a row. AD-42's RemoteTeleportController citation
retired; AP-136/AP-138 writer lists corrected to the two surviving non-Position
rebucket writers; AP-138 gains the teleport arm as a second producer of the
visible-without-collision residual (retirement path remains #309). AP-135 is
untouched and its two airborne bookkeeping writes are preserved on both arms.
AP-131 does not retire; #276 does not close.
Proof obligation 1: ParkCollisionResidents' overlap throw stays unreachable —
the teleport arm adds packets to the same TryBeginExclusiveAuthoredPlacement
one-operation-per-key machinery the far arm uses, opens no new operation shape,
and every DeferredCell outcome cancels synchronously with
restoreCancelledPark: true. The guarded property remains
HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt's stall, not a throw (4b-1's B2 caveat stands).
Correction to an earlier claim: LiveEntityPresentationController's
_activePlacementOwners was NOT write-never at HEAD —
remotePlacementRequired -> BeginPlacement -> Begin -> BeginAuthoritativePlacement
was a live writer chain. It becomes write-never BECAUSE this slice deletes that
chain, which is why deleting the dead half is behaviour-preserving.
Probe: ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_TELEPORT=1 emits one [remote-teleport] line per
routed arm (guid, cause, hook-ran, placement status). TEMPORARY, strip with the
probe family.
Carried, disclosed not fixed: no dedicated bidirectional collision-partner test
for R2 (the wiring, not LeaveWorld itself, is what lacks coverage); the
stress test's teleport step drives hand-written field assignments rather than
the canonical arm; the per-packet runTeleportHook closure allocation (network
path, not the resolve path Slice I's 0 B discipline governs — file before
route 5 adds a fourth call site). B2: IRuntimeCollisionReportObserver has zero
production implementations, so retail's bidirectional DoCollisionEnd half still
reaches no gameplay consumer — this fix closes the wrong-function binding, not
that nobody listens.
Complete Release suite MEASURED at 11,013 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(baseline 11,027/4/0; net -14 = ~33 deleted test cases against ~19 added).
Neither known flake fired (#302 PortalProjectionTests GC-allocation, #308
NakEmissionTests wall-clock).
STILL OWED: the two-client connected gate, which MUST use an NPC/creature
teleport target. Both round-1 MAJORs lived on the NPC arm and the velocity
cycle early-returns for 0x50xxxxxx guids, so a player target structurally
cannot observe A1, A2, or R3.

fix(physics): remote bodies slide on steep faces instead of freezing (#32)
A remote observed in acdream landed on a sloped roof and froze; the server slid
on, the gap passed AP-87's 4 m threshold, and the body snapped — the visible
blip. Live probe capture, two adjacent ticks 63 ms apart:
t=88420671 rsInContact=True rsOnWalkable=False rsIsOnGround=True
bodyCpNz=0.6097 floorZ=0.6642 steep=True gravity=True
vel=(2.146,2.264,-3.549)
t=88420734 contact=True onWalkable=True <- forced against the sweep
gravity=False <- cleared
velBeforeZero=(2.146,2.264,0.000)
moved=0.0000 <- and every tick after
The roof is 52.4 degrees against a 48.4 degree limit, so acdream's classifier
was CORRECT and was then overruled. Four independent links each froze the body
on their own: a per-tick force of Contact|OnWalkable, a per-tick velocity zero,
a Gravity clear at landing, and a landing edge testing IsOnGround
(= inContact || ...) instead of OnWalkable. The tick called
HandleAllCollisions alone — the tail of SetPositionInternal without its prefix.
Retail simulates remotes locally and derives these bits rather than asserting
them: CPhysics::UseTime @0x00509950 iterates the whole object table;
update_object @0x00515D10 gates only on parent/cell/FROZEN with no
is_player fork; SetPositionInternal @0x00515330 sets CONTACT from
contact_plane_valid @0x00515430 and ON_WALKABLE from contact_plane.N.z vs
floor_z @0x00515465-@0x0051548E before handle_all_collisions @0x005154FE;
set_on_walkable @0x00511310 fires HitGround @0x00511364 / LeaveGround
@0x00511346 edge-triggered with no ownership gate; calc_acceleration
@0x00510950 zeroes only when CONTACT && ON_WALKABLE && !Sledding @0x0051096B;
calc_friction @0x0050EE70 returns at its first line when ON_WALKABLE is clear.
acdream had copied retail's airborne no-op WITHOUT retail's local simulation.
The fix is mostly deletion: stop forging the transients, stop discarding the
authoritative velocity, stop clearing Gravity, and route the remote tick
through the same SetPositionInternal commit TickHidden and the local player
already use, with the landing edge derived from the sweep's own OnWalkable.
AP-87's threshold and conditions and InterpolationManager's node_fail_counter
snap-to-tail are deliberately untouched — this removes the CAUSE of the
divergence rather than weakening the backstop.
Cross-checked against ACE: its only creature-side VectorUpdate emitters are the
jump broadcast and spell projectiles, so integrating the wire velocity cannot
double-move a walking remote; and PhysicsGlobals.DefaultState already carries
Gravity, so deleting the manufactured State |= Gravity is safe.
Register: AP-81 narrowed (its GRAVITY half retired outright), AP-87 annotated,
AP-139 filed (the interpolation-queue clear on the landing edge), AP-140 filed
(the two routing gates select snap-vs-interpolate on walkability where retail
uses CONTACT — adjust_offset @0x00555D30 gates on transient_state & 1
@0x00555D52). AP-140's follow-up is deliberately shaped as "point the two gates
at Body.InContact", NOT "re-derive Airborne", which would perturb five writers
and collide with a pinned RemoteTeleportPlacementTests assertion.
Three gaps recorded in #32 rather than papered over: the new LeaveGround
dispatch is untested for chatter; a persistently !Ok transition can latch a
remote airborne; and — the visual-gate watch item — the deleted forge was a
blanket guarantee of Contact|OnWalkable, and contact_allows_move @0x00528dd0
silently refuses action animations without both, which is the literal root
cause of closed #270. Retail-correct on a steep face, a regression anywhere
else.
10 discriminating tests over a real PhysicsEngine landblock whose contact
normal Z is 0.61 against FloorZ 0.6642 — the live roof's exact relationship.
Suite 11,019 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed. Includes the temporary
ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_LANDING / ACDREAM_PROBE_REMOTE_SLIDE probe family that
produced the capture above; strip with the family.

feat(physics): C4 route 4b-2 — remote far snap through the canonical placement
Flips the SetPositionSimple classification (contact, PlayerDistance >= 96 m) for remotes onto 4b-1's drive controller and deletes both legacy far blocks, both duplicated 96f/4f constant pairs, and both `?? Vector3.Zero` fabrications. The 4 m constant now exists exactly once. Teleport and cell-less stay legacy for 4b-3. Retail: MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330's far branch runs StopInterpolating @0x005163CB before SetPositionSimple @0x005163D9 and returns 1 @0x005163E8 regardless — the SetPositionError is discarded — so HandleReceivedPosition arms ConstrainTo @0x00454272 post-move on commit AND on failure. The x87 parity decode at @0x00516393-@0x0051639E puts exactly 96.0 on the far branch. SetPositionSimple @0x005162B0 builds flags 0x1012 at @0x005162C4. Non-commit outcomes still advance the body, because retail's SetPositionInternal @0x00515BD0 commits the destination via store_position @0x00515CE2 when no cell resolves. The partition is by STAGE, not heuristic, enforced by an exhaustive switch: Refused/Contention/NotApplicable/RejectedPreparation store (the placement never executed); Committed/Deferred/RejectedByPlacement do not (the engine ran and refused, matching retail's non-storing returns @0x00515CB2 and @0x00515CD5). Without this a refused far snap froze the remote with an emptied queue. Also fixes a shipped defect this route made live: ParkDeferred's quiescence parks withdrew the entity (InWorld=false, clock suspended, residency removed) and were never restorable, while Forget(restoreCancelledPark: true) runs for every accepted Position on every entity. The restorable decision now lives inside ParkDeferred AFTER SnapToCell, reading body.CellPosition.ObjCellId — the value RestoreParkWithdrawal actually restores at — against every live quiescence rather than one minimum-OperationId token. The three pre-snap fields are hoisted into locals because SnapToCell ends with InWorld = true. ParkCollisionResidents passes restorableOnCancel: false explicitly; the plain unplaceable park is provably unchanged. RestoreParkWithdrawal re-tests the prefix at restore time so a retained route-2 park cannot re-admit into a prefix that began quiescing during the park. CanAttemptDestination is retained as an OPTIMISATION only, with the two Core predicates it cannot reproduce written down at the pre-flight, plus the two properties that depend on it staying there. Four fix rounds and eight Opus reviews. The slice was fully green at 10,990, 10,997 and 11,004 while containing real defects — a frozen remote pinned as correct by its own test, a fallback that over-wrote on the exact retail paths that decline to store, and a park guard incomplete on two independent axes. Register: AP-137 (leftover classifications take AP-87's catch-up; states the cell-less enqueue-vs-place delta deferred to 4b-3, that RejectedData is applied anyway, and the headless divergence), AP-138 (the refusable far placement), AP-136 narrowed to match the relocation. #309's acceptance steps rewritten — step 5 previously asserted a recovery the code does not perform — and gated on a new ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1 signal so the check cannot pass while broken. Suite 11,009 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed against a measured 10,968 baseline. The 10,973 figure recorded earlier was wrong and is corrected here. Connected gate outstanding: the two-client far-snap walk and #309. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(physics): C4 route 4b-1 — remote placement infrastructure (dormant)
Builds the machinery route 4b-2 and 4b-3 will flip on, and changes no remote behaviour: it has no production caller, so RemotePlacementDrivePendingCount is provably 0 and IsConverged is unchanged. Five pieces: a per-entity remote placement owner (RuntimeRemotePlacementDriveController), a Position-time service-window guard with a Runtime interface plus BOTH host implementations, N3's headless RetryPending pump, parked-count observability in the ownership ledger, and the service-window optimisation that avoids parks we can cheaply predict. Landed alone because it is where the park-withdraws-the-entity failure was decided; that decision is fixed at the source in the preceding commit and must not share a review signal with a behaviour flip. Two parts of route 2's controller are deliberately NOT ported, both verified against retail rather than assumed. There is no ack: SendPositionEvent is called only inside HandleReceivedPosition's local-player FORCE_POSITION gate @0x0045400C-@0x00454091, and the remote arm @0x0045414D has no equivalent. There is no re-issue funnel: retail never re-attempts a position it could not apply — stale timestamps merely bump error_count @0x004542AC — and re-issuing packet N after N+1 has merged would apply a pose the newer packet already superseded, which is correct for a one-shot ForcePosition and wrong for a 5-10 Hz stream. The service-window guard is an OPTIMISATION, not the correctness mechanism. The original contract had it the other way round, justified by a claim that retail cannot represent "arrived but not placeable" — false, and corrected in the review findings: retail's GotoLostCell/reenter_visibility path represents it exactly. A pre-flight guard also cannot be complete, because Core defers on the entity's CURRENT cell, on the swept QueriedCellIds footprint spanning neighbouring landblocks, and on residency evaluated after AdjustToOutside — conditions only Core can see. Review found and this commit fixes: DetachRoute cleared two maps of LIVE Core operations without cancelling them (route 2's AbandonPending is the correct mirror, not the first-entry controller) and its test asserted that blindness as convergence; the headless predicate answered "can ever publish" rather than "is published", and after the first fix still matched only 1 of the 9 landblocks this host publishes; OwnsPlacement admitted remote top-level Creates until gated on the Teleport flag as well as the disposition; Advance re-submitted without re-checking the window; and four comments cited a report that did not exist. Contract item 6 is met by the structural proof, not the earlier test: HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt refuses collision-prefix mutation permission before ParkCollisionResidents is ever entered, so its overlap throw is unreachable. That same mechanism is the unbounded stall filed as #310, which 4b-1 does not bound — it only avoids widening it. #311 files the remaining per-tick allocation in RetryPendingProjections; the early-out for the empty-FIFO case landed via a new HasPendingReceipts accessor so hosts still never touch .Placements. directly. Gates: complete Release solution 10,973 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 10,938). Four review rounds; every fix discrimination-verified by revert.

fix(physics): restore a cancelled park instead of leaving the entity withdrawn
Shipped-code defect affecting committed route-2 code, found while reviewing route 4b-1. RuntimeSetPositionState.ParkDeferred withdraws an entity from the world: body.InWorld = false, TransientStateFlags.Active cleared, WithdrawCanonical, SuspendObjectClock. CancelCoreDeferred then removed the operation and rewrote the pending Withdraw into a Discard while restoring NONE of it. So cancelling a wakeable park was strictly worse than keeping one — the park is wakeable, the cancel destroys the only object that could ever wake it, and the entity is left invisible AND intangible with nothing to bring it back. Route 2's re-issue funnel masked this: re-issuing is correct for a one-shot ForcePosition ACE never repeats, and wrong for a repeated remote stream, so the hole was hidden rather than fixed. Retail's own answer is a working park, verified in the decomp rather than assumed: CPhysicsObj::SetPositionInternal @0x00515BD0, when AdjustPosition yields no cell @0x00515C1D, calls prepare_to_leave_visibility @0x00515CDA, store_position @0x00515CE2 (the DESTINATION pose is committed), GotoLostCell @0x00515CF2 registering at m_position.objcell_id read AFTER store_position (so the destination cell), clears transient 0x80 @0x00515CF7, and returns OK @0x00515D07. InitObjCell @0x00508260 drains the lost list on cell load and calls reenter_visibility @0x00516250, which re-places from the object's OWN m_position with flags 0x11. Two corrections to the direction I gave, both forced by evidence and both right: The pose must NOT be rolled back — only the withdrawal. Three shipped route-2 tests capture positionAtPark AFTER the park and assert it survives the cancel, and retail agrees: store_position commits the destination and nothing un-commits it. Restoring residency at the body's committed cell is therefore retail's own cell choice, not merely self-consistent. The gate defaults to FALSE with four explicit opt-ins, rather than defaulting true with opt-outs at the withdrawal callers. That keeps every one of the ~20 shipped Forget/ForgetExactPlacement sites at exactly its current behaviour instead of depending on having correctly enumerated the withdrawal transactions. Review had already found the broad version corrupting five of them (TryApplyPickup, CommitAcceptedParent, CommitAcceptedParentCellless, CommitWithdrawal, CommitPositionChannelUpdate): they hand-roll a partial re-withdrawal that undoes the clock and FullCellId but not InWorld or the _spatialRoots re-registration, leaving a picked-up item both in inventory and an InWorld cellless spatial root in the physics workset. ParkDeferred's restorableOnCancel is opt-in for exactly one of its four callers — the plain unplaceable-destination park. Every quiescence and retirement park is excluded deliberately: those entities are withdrawn because their world is going away, and restoring residency inside a quiescing prefix blocks its retirement. VerifyPositionChannelCancellation now asserts InWorld and IsSpatialRoot per channel — Position is a cancellation and must restore; Pickup and Parent are withdrawals and must not. It previously asserted only !IsDeferred and counts, which is why five green states hid this. Register row AP-136 measured against GotoLostCell/reenter_visibility rather than labelled "retail-shaped". Files #309 (the restore-on-cancel residual, with park-survives recorded as the retail-faithful target and its two blockers named: the NewerPositionPickupAndParentEachCancelExactLostOperation invariant and teardown convergence) and #310 (an unbounded retirement stall — a retained preparation retry pins its prefix through HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt forever, and TickLostCellDeadlines has no production caller so the 25 s timer never fires). This is a user-observable change to shipped paths: restorableOnCancel: true sits in SubmitPreparedPlacementCore, the shared core behind every production placement. AP-136 and #309 carry the proposed two-client check. Gates: complete Release solution 10,973 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 10,938). Every new test discrimination-verified by reverting the fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(physics): C4 route 4a — remote steady-state Position through the seam
Routes the classifier's two NO-PLACEMENT remote branches — Interpolate (contact, PlayerDistance < 96 m) and NoPositionOperation (no contact) — through a Runtime-owned seam, and fixes the two divergences they carried. Teleport, far-snap and cell-less stay on the legacy App path; 4b owns them. Route 4 was split into 4a/4b after scoping put the whole route at 1,500-2,500 lines against a ~400 budget. 4a's branches perform no SetPosition, so this slice carries no deferred-cell park, no service-window guard and no allocation exposure — which is what made the split worth doing. Divergences fixed, both previously unfiled: * D1 — the NPC airborne branch hard-snapped Body.Position/Orientation and branched on the client-tracked rmState.Airborne, never consulting the wire IsGrounded bit. Retail's MoveOrTeleport @0x00516330 returns 0 at 0x0051636D and writes nothing. Player remotes were already correct; NPCs were not. * D2 — ConstrainTo was armed before the operation, unconditionally, so it fired on the airborne no-op retail skips and anchored to the PRE-move position. Retail arms it at 0x00454272, only when MoveOrTeleport returns nonzero, anchored to &arg2->m_position read live, i.e. post-move. AP-87 and TS-44 were carried deliberately, not delegated away. AP-87's three conditions — including firstUp, which one round silently dropped — are preserved as an explicit acdream policy layer applied AFTER the classifier commits to Interpolate; the two previously separate player/NPC copies are now one. TS-44 stays an NPC-only caller gate; extending sticky suppression to player remotes has no retail basis and no live evidence, so it was declined rather than absorbed. Landing is explicitly carved out of 4a's ownership on both arms. A landing packet classifies Interpolate, so an ordering slip would ENQUEUE a body that must PLANT and a creature knocked off a ledge would glide down over a packet interval. The carve-out is a named entry point returning AirborneSnap/SteadyStateInterpolate/ Legacy precisely so the PRECEDENCE is observable and testable rather than implied by statement order — that is how the slip happened once and was caught. The player/NPC asymmetry on landing is real and NOT resolved here: retail draws no such distinction, but converging them is a behaviour decision needing its own evidence. Filed into the 4b plan. Register: AP-135 filed for the two bookkeeping writes the airborne branch deliberately retains (rmState.CellId, LastServerPos/Time) — not retail's model, but load-bearing for our catch-up sweep and staleness timer, and verified not to be a canonical cell commit for ordinary remotes. AP-87 and TS-44 rewritten to describe the code. Honest remainder: App still owns branch selection, the airborne return, the cell write, the entity write and the shadow publish, and headless satisfies "both hosts drive the identical entry point" only vacuously since it returns early for remotes. That is written into the 4b bullet rather than left implicit. Cost: 364 non-comment production lines, 91% of the ~400 budget — the split did isolate the cheap half, but not by much. Do not carry "well under" into 4b's scoping. Gates: complete Release solution 10,938 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (pre-4a baseline 10,909). Four review rounds; the first three each introduced a new behavioural defect while fixing another, and each left a comment asserting behaviour that no longer matched — the final round's precedence matrix was traced cell-by-cell against HEAD with only the D1-intended difference. App tests call production entry points against a real WorldEntity and real classifier output, closing route 2's #292 gap rather than repeating it. Connected acceptance NOT run — needs a live second character. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(physics): #297 — keep the PWD bitfield live so PK status reaches the client
The user typed @pklite and then walked straight through other PKLite players. Root cause: ClientObject.PublicWeenieBitfield was written exactly once, from the 0xF745 CreateObject parse, and never refreshed. ACE's only PK-change message is PropertyInt.PlayerKillerStatus (134) over 0x02CE/0x02CD, which we parsed and stored into Properties.Ints[134] but never translated back into the bitfield — and ACE never re-sends a PublicWeenieDesc at all (EnqueueBroadcastUpdateObject has zero live callers), so that property is the ONLY signal a client can learn from. Both sides of the collision test read the frozen value, so CollisionExemption's "4c. both PKLite -> collide" rule could never fire. Retail's missing port: PublicWeenieDesc::SetPlayerKillerStatus @0x005AC7C0 rewrites _bitfield in place — PK(4) -> (b & 0xfddfffff) | 0x20; PKLite(0x40) -> (b & 0xffdfffdf) | 0x2000000; Free(0x20) -> (b & 0xfdffffdf) | 0x200000; else b &= 0xfddfffdf. Mutually exclusive, verified byte-for-byte, with input values confirmed against retail's own PKStatusEnum (acclient.h:6412-6427), not just ACE's. Driven from ACCWeenieObject::OnStatUpdated @0x0058DF20 case 0x86. The fix rewrites the value at its source rather than patching consumers. Two review rounds were needed because the first pass missed that there are TWO snapshot stores: InboundPhysicsStateController keeps its own private _snapshots dictionary, and every untimestamped-field merge (ApplyAcceptedObjDesc and friends) reads `old` from THAT store, not from RuntimeEntityRecord.Snapshot. Refreshing only the active record left the target-side shadow flags correct until the remote's next equip or unequip — ACE broadcasts an ObjDesc on every one — at which point the appearance path rebuilt the registration from the frozen spawn and dropped the bit permanently. The regression test demanded by review is what surfaced that; it is verified discriminating (reverting gives Actual: 8 instead of 33554440). Five stores now hold this value, kept coherent from one source by two ObjectUpdated subscribers plus the appearance-rebuild path. The two shadow-flag writers are the same invalidation applied at the two edges that can invalidate it, not competing authorities — review enumerated every drift path and closed each. That coherence invariant is new as of this commit and is recorded as register row AP-134, with AP-133 as the precedent for filing a row when the danger is a future writer rather than current behaviour. Also corrects TS-23's retirement narrative, which claimed every mover-flags call site read the mover's "real" PK bits from 2026-07-30. The bits existed but their source was frozen, so that only became true here; the site enumeration also missed RuntimeSetPositionMoverPreparation, a seventh site that decodes the snapshot directly. Unblocks #298 (melee/missile admission needs the local player's own PKLite bit). Follow-ups filed: #300 (Properties.Ints[134] vs bitfield mirror gap), #301 (same defect class for radar blip colour and radar behaviour), #302 (a pre-existing PortalProjection allocation-assertion flake, 1 in 6, found while verifying this gate), #303 (LiveEntityPvpBitfieldSync is App-resident but Runtime-owned-state). Gates: complete Release solution 10,895 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 10,887 including #299). Adversarial + retail-conformance review PASS after one FAIL round. Every new test discrimination-verified by reverting the fix. Connected acceptance NOT run — needs a live two-client PKLite session. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(runtime): name why a placement is parked and fail closed when it cannot resolve
Fixes #284 (plan S1).
A first-entry placement that could not be prepared returned
RetrySetupUnavailable and was re-Advanced every pump forever. Nothing counted
it, nothing named its cause, and nothing distinguished "waiting for something
that will arrive" from "waiting for something that never can". That is why
#281's 43 test failures presented as four unrelated symptoms across App and
Runtime instead of one cause, and why a stuck entity in the live client simply
never appears with no log line to follow.
Worse, the two causes were conflated: 670f307c's missing-world-frame park
reported itself as RetrySetupUnavailable, sending anyone diagnosing it to the
prepared-asset pipeline rather than to the absent local-player Create that
actually publishes the frame.
- RetryWorldFrameUnavailable splits the two causes. Call sites now ask
IsRetryable() instead of comparing against one reason, so a future retry
reason cannot be silently reclassified as a hard rejection - the exact way
this class of bug hides.
- The operation retains its RuntimeSetPositionParkReason, and
RuntimeSetPositionOwnershipSnapshot reports parked work by cause
(ParkedAwaitingSetupCollisionCount / ParkedAwaitingWorldFrameCount /
ParkedPlacementCount), so parked placements appear wherever ledgers are
already asserted.
- ObserveLocalPlayerCreate records the accepted local-player Create even when
it carries no landblock - precisely the case where no frame is ever
published - and ThrowIfWorldFrameUnreachable makes that contradiction
terminal. Waiting is legitimate only while that Create is outstanding; after
it, no later pump can supply the frame. Same shape as

fix(session): acknowledge login after first placement
ACE intentionally creates the local player Hidden and releases that materialization state on LoginComplete. Sending LoginComplete from raw F746 receipt raced canonical placement and left the login haze visible. Route one one-shot completion callback from Runtime's local first-entry terminal edge to graphical and prepared headless hosts; retain a guarded accepted-Create edge only for content-less headless sessions. Focused Runtime login tests, all 79 Headless tests, the connected user gate, and the Release build pass. |

wip(physics): collision O(changed) delta-commit (O1-O3) - ON HOLD, feel-test failed
Publication-throughput rework per the D2 design (docs/research/ 2026-08-02-collision-throughput-handoff/design-note.md): O1 per-prefix installed-key ledgers replacing the seal's full-map scans; O2 per- landblock delta commit (LandblockReplacementApplyCursor against the active root) replacing whole-world TransferTo; O3 empty staging root, commit-time reflood (CObjCell::init_objects 0x0052B420 -> recalc_cross_cells 0x00515A30), journal/peer-rebase machinery deleted (~1,900 lines net). Automated gates green: Runtime 999, Core physics 2,135, App 4,039/3, Headless 79, complete solution 10,812/0/4; lifecycle gate PASS (connected-world-gate-20260802-193029). Soak 194423: publication-side acceptance fully met (37 -> 4 failures, all convergence dims zero, loadedLandblocks baseline-identical, waitCue 6/9 -> 1/9). COMMITTED AS WIP ON USER DIRECTION - NOT ACCEPTED. The user feel-test FAILED on this tree: monsters still pop into existence at close range, monsters spawned mid-air far ahead, static placements visibly wrong, plus 243x "Landblock already has a full retirement receipt" InvalidOperationException catch-retry loop during origin recenter (launch-feeltest-oclone.log). The 4 remaining soak failures (pendingLandblockRetirements 131/122 at the Caul->Sawato stops) and the implementer's "exposed pre-existing" classification are under re-judgment against that loop. Dual reviews were dispatched and then stopped mid-flight on user direction; NO review has passed this commit.

feat(runtime): C3c - production placement cutover: both hosts on the residence conductors (routes 1+8)
Campaign P remaining-physics-divergence, placement cutover slice C3c
(docs/plans/2026-08-02-placement-cutover.md). Both production hosts now
register every initial Create through the residence + continuation-
executor + first-entry-conductor machinery (C0-C3b):
- Graphical (route 1): RegisterEntityWithInitialResidence at Create; the
shared RuntimeFirstEntryDriveController pumps both conductors from the
placement-receipt flow; MaterializeProjection and RebucketLiveEntity
are presentation-only while a residence is ACTIVE (ExecutorCompleted is
the presentation-binding receipt); post-residence entities take the
full legacy path including the prepare_to_enter_world clock edges.
PlayerModeController attaches presentation to the Runtime-published
controller; its legacy resolve/step-heights/host-construction path is
deleted; presentation-only rollback (retail has no entry-flow rollback).
- Headless (route 8): OnSpawned registers with residence when a drive
exists; content-less sessions keep the pre-flip direct registration;
SynchronizeLocalPlayer/CreateController/ApplySetupStepHeights deleted;
prepared-collision read failure is a typed AwaitingCollisionSource
retry; far remotes outside the service window complete celless.
- RuntimeLocalPlayerMovementState.Controller setter sealed internal; all
controller mutation flows through the publication lifecycle.
Fix slices landed within this cutover, each dual-gated:
- F1: live movement-stat/server-physics application routed through the
Runtime ownership seam (post-logout ingest crash on the retired
controller eliminated; RuntimeMovementSkillProjection deleted).
- F2: login activation wedge - collision-admission prefix gate factored
out of the seal (reentrant-commit RejectedAuthority), rearm generation
identity corrected, PlayerModeAutoEntry requires the Runtime-published
controller (world reveal can no longer seal unmaterialized).
- F3: landblock-prefix 0-sentinel replaced by explicit absent-id guards;
map-corner landblocks (grid row/col 0) fully legal through admission,
park/rearm/retire, quiescence, and outdoor shadow seeds.
- F5: local-player first-entry ground contact seeded by the shared
SpawnPlacementSettler (moved App->Core) at FinalizeActivation - the
retail first-gravity-frame touch (enter_world 0x00516170 carries no
seed); the legacy unconditional force-seed is overwritten by a real
floor-found contact; airborne spawns stay airborne; outbound contact
bit verified end-to-end. Fixes the standing-cast 'You can't do that
while in the air!' rejections.
- R1 (dual-review round): login constraint leash armed at the committed
placement (HandleReceivedPosition 0x00453FD0 analog); register rows
AD-61 (settle-timing compression now covering the local player) and
AD-42 (repointed off the deleted resolve split) in this commit;
residence-conversion owner API; wire-landblock guards; drive-pending
ledger in IsConverged; route attach/detach latch; executor-drain drift
model documented + source-pinned.
Gates: Runtime 1,003, App 4,039/3 skips, Headless 79, complete solution
10,816/0 failed/4 skips (Release, -m:1); connected lifecycle/reconnect
gate PASS (logs/connected-world-gate-20260802-175401; graceful exits,
world-visible, zero airborne rejections). The nine-stop soak remains red
for the pre-existing

feat(runtime): construct remote bodies at Create per retail set_description
Cutover slice C3b: residence-route remote/creature/projectile Creates now get their canonical PhysicsBody at Create time — retail's order, closing the C3 flip's Finding C (production builds bodies at first motion; retail builds them in ACCObjectMaint::CreateObject). RuntimeRemoteBodyDescription walks set_description 0x00514F40 exactly: the motion-table gate (zero id PASSES — verified at 0051871f/005127ca), the frame-vs-movement branch keyed on retail's movement_buffer != 0 (an empty-buffer movement payload takes the PLACEMENT branch and writes no autonomy — the wire-shape defect the retail review caught), set_state, the byte-certain friction gate (inclusive [0,1]; NaN deliberately skipped per the gates doc's sanctioned deviation), the set_elasticity clamp with retail's unordered-to-zero NaN routing (ACE diverges to 0.1 on that edge), the translucency gate (!= 0.0f, original always recorded), velocity via setter, omega raw, and ctor-defaults for absent wire fields (0.95f/0.05f/0 — the fresh-desc-per- message flow verified at both UnPack call sites). InWorld stays false until submission, the enter_world analog. RuntimeRemoteFirstEntryState sequences mover-prep -> body construction -> placement -> acknowledgement -> Execute with every C3a hardening inherited: exactly-once stages, the shared acknowledge-stage discriminator (extracted to RuntimeFirstEntryAcknowledgement, one body for both conductors), typed Contention against in-flight remote-motion binds, never-clobber body binding through the canonical writer (foreign body fails closed — provably safe coexistence with today's build-at-first-motion path in both directions), automatic convergence through the retirement fan-out, and the construction receipt riding the terminal Advance. Dormant: no production caller; C3c wires both hosts. Reviewed: retail-conformance PASS (the construction order, both gate boundary/NaN semantics, the motion-table and autonomy verdicts all re-derived from the pseudo-C) + architecture/adversarial PASS after one fix round. Runtime 982/982; complete Release solution 10,777 passed / 4 intentional skips. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
