Attach the retail projectile driver to canonical LiveEntityRecord ownership, sharing one PhysicsBody and full-cell identity with RemoteMotion regardless of creation order. Apply timestamp-gated state, vector, and position corrections in place, preserve active ordinary-body behavior when Missile clears, and keep renderer, effects, shadows, and spatial buckets synchronized across loaded/pending transitions.
Validate malformed packets before canonical timestamp mutation, validate adopted bodies from their current frame rather than stale CreateObject data, serialize late Setup resolution with streaming DAT reads, and preserve classification across clock anomalies. Retain shadow registrations through temporary leave-world residence while logical teardown remains generation-scoped.
Add 31 App lifecycle/adversarial tests plus Core shadow suspension coverage, and synchronize the retail pseudocode, architecture, milestones, roadmap, and durable physics memory.

The A6.P4 port, fused into one installment per the BR-2 half-port lesson
(registration and query are co-dependent: flood-registering shells under
the old radial query would re-open #98 through the vestibule).
REGISTRATION (ShadowObjectRegistry rewritten):
- Register/RegisterMultiPart/UpdatePosition compute the cell set via
CellTransit.BuildShadowCellSet (the C2 find_cell_list flood) seeded by
the entity's m_position cell id; the private 24m XY-grid rectangle and
its single-landblock clamp are deleted. Flood spheres follow retail's
CylSphere rule (base point + cyl radius, cap 10; BSP bounding-sphere
fallback - Ghidra 0x0052b9f0). Statics flood with the do_not_load
prune; dynamics (server spawns, isStatic:false) without.
- Keep-when-empty (SetPositionInternal num_cells gate, pc:283540): a
failed flood leaves the previous registration in place.
- RefloodLandblock: streaming-race hook re-runs the flood when a
landblock's cells hydrate (retail init_objects -> recalc_cross_cells,
Ghidra 0x0052b420/0x00515a30); wired at GameWindow's hydration tail.
- GameWindow sites pass the server position's full cell id as the seed
(spawn + UpdatePosition); the five static sites pass ParentCellId.
BUILDING CHANNEL (CSortCell.building shape):
- Building SHELLS are not shadow objects in retail (only caller of
find_building_collisions is CSortCell::find_collisions 0x005340aa;
one building per origin landcell, init_buildings 0x0052fd80 verified
verbatim + ACE cross-ref). IsBuildingShell entities skip the registry;
Transition.FindBuildingCollisions runs the shell part-0 BSP off
cache.GetBuilding(cellId) with bldg_check set around it
(find_building_collisions 0x006b5300), CollidedWithEnvironment on
non-Contact non-OK. BuildingPhysics.ModelId = pre-resolved part-0
GfxObj (0x02 Setups resolved at the CacheBuilding site).
- Placement/ethereal weakening: BSPQuery Path 1 passes center_solid=0
when BldgCheck && HitsInteriorCell (BSPTREE::find_collisions 0x0053a82e
+ placement_insert 0x005399d8) so doorway crossings don't hard-fail
against shell solids. SpherePath gains both retail fields;
HitsInteriorCell is rebuilt at every cell-array build
(build_cell_array reset 0x00509ef2 + find_cell_list/check_building_
transit set sites).
QUERY (retail per-cell order, transitional_insert 0x0050b6f0):
- TransitionalInsert per attempt: env -> building (LandCell only) ->
objects on the PRIMARY cell, then on OK the check_other_cells pass
(env -> building -> objects per OTHER overlapped cell) + the
carried-cell advance - the advance now happens AFTER all per-cell
object passes (the WF1 ordering divergence), with Adjusted/Slid
feeding the retry exactly like retail's OK_TS case.
- FindObjCollisionsInCell = CObjCell::find_obj_collisions (0x0052b750):
iterate ONLY the asked cell's list. DELETED: the radial 9-landblock
sweep, the +5m query pad, the b3ce505 indoor-primary gate, and the
isViewer exemption (the camera is bounded by interior cell-BSP env
collision - retail's own channel; CameraCornerSealReplayTests pins it
against real dat, and the new building-channel camera test pins the
outdoor stop).
TESTS: Core 1416/0/2 (was 1398 + 4 pre-existing #99-era fails + 1 skip),
App 225, UI 420, Net 294 - all green.
- 3 of the 4 #99-era reds flipped green as designed: the door apparatus
(Apparatus_Grounded_50cmOffCenter_FrontApproach_Blocks) and tick-13558
(indoor walkthrough) now assert the door BLOCKS; tick-22760 pins the
outdoor blocking invariant.
- The 4th (BSPStepUp D4) + 22760's lateral-slide delta are NOT cell-set
problems (probes prove the door is found + BSP-only dispatched;
BR-7 left both byte-identical) - filed as issue #116 (slide-response
family), D4 skipped with the issue reference.
- FindEnvCollisionsMultiCellTests migrated to the public entry (the A4
multi-cell halt now lives at the retail call site).
- New registry pins: per-cell query surface, outdoor-footprint-never-
indoor (#98 architectural), door-outdoor-cell membership, reflood.
- CameraCollisionIndoorTests rewritten against the building channel
(the isViewer-exemption pins died with the exemption).
Closes#99 (doors block both ways via registration-time cell membership
+ the straddle-spanning player cell array). #97 likely closed (the +5m
radial pad that produced phantom-collision candidates is gone) - verify
at T5. #98 stays closed ARCHITECTURALLY (outdoor footprints structurally
cannot reach interior cells; the cellar harness stays green).

Closes#99 (run-through doors regression from b3ce505).
The b3ce505 stopgap for #98 gates the outdoor 24m radial sweep on indoor
primary cells. Combined with ShadowObjectRegistry.GetNearbyObjects'
"skip outdoor ids" filter on the cellScope-pass loop, this meant doors
registered at outdoor cells (default cellScope=0u for server-spawned
entities at GameWindow.cs:3139) were invisible to spheres on the indoor
side of a doorway threshold — walk-through.
Pre-flight reads found that CellTransit.FindCellSet already adds
outdoor cells to its candidate set when the sphere straddles an
OtherCellId=0xFFFF exit portal (via AddAllOutsideCells triggered by
exitOutside=true inside the indoor-seed BFS). The fix is to stop
filtering those outdoor ids out before iterating, and rename the param
to portalReachableCells to reflect what the set actually contains.
- Q1: Indoor EnvCell.VisibleCellIds is indoor-only in all 16 cottage
fixtures (low 16 bits ≥ 0x0100). OtherCellId=0xFFFF on portals
marks "exit to outdoor world" without naming a specific cellId; the
specific outdoor cell is computed by AddAllOutsideCells from world
XY when the sphere straddles the exit portal.
- Q2: GameWindow.cs:3139 ShadowObjects.Register for server-spawned
entities passes no cellScope → default 0u → outdoor 24m grid
registration. UpdatePosition (line 145) does the same on movement.
Doors are confirmed outdoor-registered.
Slice 1 makes a smaller change than the spec proposed (no new
parameter; just drop the existing filter), because FindCellSet's
existing exit-portal logic already exposes the needed outdoor cells.
The retail-faithful registration-side BuildShadowCellSet refactor and
the b3ce505 gate removal stay scheduled for slices 2-3.
Verification:
- 24/24 ShadowObjectRegistryTests pass (incl. two new slice 1 tests:
IndoorPrimary_OutdoorCellInPortalSet_DoorReturned closes#99;
IndoorPrimary_IndoorOnlyPortalSet_OutdoorRadialStillSkipped
regression-pins #98)
- 11/11 CellarUpTrajectoryReplayTests pass (LiveCompare_FirstCap_
FixClosesCottageFloorCap stays green)
- dotnet build AcDream.slnx: 0 errors, 0 warnings
- Pre-existing 6-8 static-state-leakage failures in serial physics
suite verified unchanged by stash+retest baseline check
Visual verification pending: walk Holtburg cottage doorway from both
sides; door blocks both directions; cellar still climbable.

New mutator that overwrites cached PhysicsState bits on every shadow copy
of the named entity. The existing CollisionExemption.ShouldSkip(...) check
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:276782) reads the same cached field, so a
post-spawn ETHEREAL flip is now honored on the next resolver tick without
any resolver-path change.
Retail anchor: CPhysicsObj::set_state at acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:283044.
Slice 1 scopes to the bare state-write — retail's cosmetic side-effect
handlers (0x800 lighting, 0x20 nodraw, 0x4000 hidden) don't fire for the
ETHEREAL bit and stay deferred.
Three TDD tests cover: ETHEREAL flip from 0->0x4; unregistered-entity
no-op; entity spanning multiple cells gets all copies updated.

Plumbing-only foundation for the upcoming live-entity (NPC / monster
/ player) collision port. No behavior change — the new fields default
to zero/None so the 5 existing static-entity Register call sites in
GameWindow.cs are untouched.
Wire layer:
- CreateObject parser now surfaces PhysicsState (acclient.h:2815 —
ETHEREAL_PS=0x4, IGNORE_COLLISIONS_PS=0x10, HAS_PHYSICS_BSP_PS=0x10000,
...) which the parser previously dropped at line ~337 with a bare
`pos += 4`.
- CreateObject parser now surfaces ObjectDescriptionFlags (the retail
PWD._bitfield trailer per acclient.h:6431-6463), where
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:406898-406918 ACCWeenieObject::IsPK /
IsPKLite / IsImpenetrable read bits 5 / 25 / 21 directly. Previously
read-and-discarded.
- WorldSession.EntitySpawn carries both new fields through to subscribers.
Physics layer:
- New `EntityCollisionFlags` enum (IsPlayer / IsCreature / IsPK /
IsPKLite / IsImpenetrable) + `FromPwdBitfield` helper. Bit
positions verified against retail's SetPlayerKillerStatus (
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:441868-441890) which maps
PKStatusEnum→bitfield exactly: PK=0x4→bit5, PKLite=0x40→bit25,
Free=0x20→bit21.
- `ShadowEntry` extended with `State` (raw PhysicsState bits) +
`Flags` (decoded EntityCollisionFlags). Backward-compatible — all
five existing landblock-entity Register call sites omit them.
- `ShadowObjectRegistry.UpdatePosition(entityId, pos, rot, ...)` —
fast-path for the 5–10 Hz UpdatePosition (0xF748) stream the server
emits per visible entity. Reuses the entry's existing shape +
state + flags. Mirrors retail's CPhysicsObj::SetPosition
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:284276) which keeps the same shape and
re-registers cell membership.
- `ObjectInfoState` adds `IsPK = 0x800` and `IsPKLite = 0x1000`
matching retail's OBJECTINFO::state bits (acclient.h:6190-6194).
Used by Commit C's PvP exemption gate.
Tests:
- `EntityCollisionFlagsTests` — 7 tests covering empty / each bit
alone / PK+player combo / unrelated-bit ignore.
- `ShadowObjectRegistryTests` — 5 new tests: UpdatePosition moves
entry to new cell, preserves State/Flags, unregistered no-op,
Register stores State/Flags, defaults are zero/None.
- `CreateObjectTests` — 3 new tests verifying PhysicsState + PWD
bitfield (with PK / PKLite bit cases) parse and surface.
1454 → 1454 + 15 = covered by suite. dotnet build + dotnet test
green.
Foundation for Commit B (live-entity registration) and Commit C
(PvP exemption block in FindObjCollisions).

Replace simplified push-out with retail-faithful SlideSphere and
AdjustOffset from transition_pseudocode.md. Crease-projection between
collision normal and contact plane produces smooth wall-sliding.
Object collision uses proper rotation transform to object-local space.
SlideSphere (section 6): computes crease direction via cross product
of collision normal and contact plane normal, projects displacement
onto the crease, then applies the correction offset. Handles three
cases: crease exists, parallel same-direction, parallel opposing.
AdjustOffset (section 6): adds safety check to keep sphere above
contact plane by computing signed distance and pushing up along Z
when the sphere dips below.
FindObjCollisions: removes ad-hoc penetration push-out, now calls
SlideSphere after BSP hit detection for proper wall-slide behavior.
Also fixes: ShadowEntry gains Rotation field, tests updated to match
Register signature, unused variables removed from GameWindow.

Register static entities into terrain cells during streaming.
Transition system queries nearby objects and runs BSP collision.
Player can no longer walk through trees and buildings.
- ShadowObjectRegistry: 24m×24m cell index, Register/Deregister/
RemoveLandblock/GetNearbyObjects matching retail AC's approach
- PhysicsEngine: ShadowObjects property + DataCache wiring point;
RemoveLandblock now also clears shadow objects; TryGetLandblockContext
helper lets Transition resolve landblock id+offset for a world pos
- Transition.FindObjCollisions: queries registry, broad-phase sphere test,
narrow-phase BSPQuery.SphereIntersectsPoly in object-local space,
returns Slid on hit to redirect movement along the surface
- GameWindow.ApplyLoadedTerrainLocked: registers each static entity after
physics BSP data is cached; selects radius from BSP bounding sphere or
Setup.Radius; wires PhysicsDataCache into engine on OnLoad
- 16 new ShadowObjectRegistry unit tests, all 361 tests green
