5d19c56d15 feat(rendering): journal static scene projections
Append exact static and EnvCell-shell projection deltas only at committed spatial activation and detach receipts. Same-landblock rehydrate now reconciles retained, new, and omitted presentation identities without constructing or drawing the shadow scene in production.

91e82c3c68 fix(streaming): prepare quiesced destination entities
Separate loaded spatial residency from the world presentation gate so destination live objects acquire mesh owners behind portal space while drawing and simulation stay quiesced. Prevent unowned CPU-cache hits from recreating stale GPU staging work.

2ff8f844b0 perf(streaming): reserve destination reveal capacity
Join destination scheduling to the canonical reveal generation, protect its share across every typed frame-budget dimension, and prevent stale work from clearing a replacement reservation. Remove forced incomplete materialization and project retail's centered portal wait cue while the authored tunnel remains active.

Tests: Release build clean; 91 focused reservation/reveal tests; full solution 8,158 passed, 5 skipped.

bb16f74fd4 perf(streaming): quiesce retired generations and budget teardown
Publish the retail blocking-for-cells edge before deferred recenter work, freeze old-world presentation/simulation/audio, and advance full-window retirement from exact metered entity and owner cursors. This removes synchronous portal teardown without allowing retained owners to remain observable.

b8f6317fe1 feat(streaming): enforce typed completion queues
Replace the flat deferred list, priority scan, unload bypass, and count-only execution cap with exact destination/control/unload/Near/Far FIFOs behind one typed frame meter.

8d63e5c28a test(vfx): harden live missile and effect lifetimes
Add deterministic 96-owner lifecycle and renderer-resource stress gates plus an exact twelve-cycle recall/portal ownership gate. Prove zero retained records, projectiles, spatial buckets, script queues, particle/light owners, shadows, pending effects, and mesh references after churn, GUID reuse, deletion, and session reset.

Make logical teardown incarnation-specific and reentrancy-safe with lifetime epochs, atomic resource registration, generation-aware effect/teleport cleanup, projection mutation tokens, and failure-isolated visibility fan-out. Finish canonical spatial transactions before reporting observer failures and never discard superseded cleanup failures.

Synchronize architecture, roadmap, milestones, retail research, divergence bookkeeping, and durable memory. All three independent review tracks are clean; Release build and the full 5,454-pass/5-skip suite are green.

8dd996053d refactor(world): separate live lifetime from spatial buckets
Introduce LiveEntityRuntime as the canonical owner of each accepted server-object incarnation, stable local identity, timestamped state, parent relations, runtime components, and exactly-once teardown. Split logical registration from rebucketing so pending landblocks, equipment attachment, pickup re-entry, and GUID replacement reuse the same entity and effect owners.

Keep canonical materialized and visible target/radar views distinct, preserve retail leave_world versus exit_world semantics, gate root simulation while cell-less, and track transitional pre-Create F754 owners through delete and session reset. Remove stale-spawn rehydration and make GpuWorldState spatial-only for live objects.

Add lifecycle, generation, pending, unload, attachment, event-publication, local-ID, rollback, and effect-cleanup coverage; update architecture, milestones, memory, and the divergence register.

315af02f8a fix(streaming): recover the player from the pending bucket — invisible-player / world-not-loading bug
Root cause (confirmed live via ACDREAM_PROBE_ENT): a persistent server-spawned
entity that spawns into a not-yet-loaded landblock is parked in
GpuWorldState._pendingByLandblock. RelocateEntity — called every frame to keep
the player homed to its current landblock so it draws — scanned ONLY _loaded, so
it silently no-op'd on a pending entity. The player then fell through ALL of the
recovery paths: the AddLandblock pending-drain had already run (empty) before the
cold-spawn churn re-parked the player; the server-object re-hydrate excludes the
player by design ("persistent-rescue owns it"); and RelocateEntity couldn't reach
a pending entity. Net: the player stayed stranded in pending, hidden forever.

Probe evidence (cold-spawn at 0xADAF): `[ent] APPEND guid=0x5000000A
lb=0xADAFFFFF -> PENDING(hidden)`, no later `DRAWSET PRESENT` — while the sibling
NPCs `re-hydrated 3 server object(s) into landblock 0xADAFFFFF` and drew fine.

This is the mechanism behind BOTH reported symptoms: cold-spawn "everything gone
/ invisible" AND "character disappears running out of Holtburg far enough" — both
are "player parked in pending, never recovered" (run-out crosses into a
still-streaming landblock; cold-spawn spawns into one).

Fix: RelocateEntity now removes the entity from whichever bucket it occupies
(_loaded OR _pendingByLandblock) via RemoveEntityFromAllBuckets, then re-appends
to its current landblock — promoting a stranded pending entity to drawn as soon
as its landblock is loaded. Keeps the fast-path early-return for a settled
entity (no per-frame churn).

NOT R5-V2: verified line-by-line that the voyeur/target wiring is read-only w.r.t.
position/cell/landblock/streaming — this is a pre-existing streaming bug. The
separate cold-spawn `cells=0` (outdoor spawn placed before Near-tier cells load,
no re-snap) is benign for outdoor placement (terrain-Z is used) and filed
separately; it does not block visibility, which this fix restores.

Test: GpuWorldStateTests.RelocateEntity_StrandedInPending_MovesToLoadedTarget
(red before, green after). Full suite 4007 green.

afd5f2a012 fix(streaming): #138-B avatar vanishes after teleporting out — don't relocate during PortalSpace
After a teleport-OUT the per-frame avatar-sync (GameWindow ~:8018) called
GpuWorldState.RelocateEntity with the player controller's cell — which stays the
FROZEN SOURCE cell until PlaceTeleportArrival materializes the destination. So
mid-transit it dragged the avatar (which the teleport's rescue/re-inject had
correctly placed at the destination center) back into the now-UNLOADED source
landblock's pending bucket, where nothing recovers it (RelocateEntity only scans
_loaded). Net: the avatar vanished after teleporting out and stayed gone.

Fix: skip the per-frame relocate while the player is in PortalSpace. The teleport
machinery (DrainRescued + PlaceTeleportArrival) owns the avatar's landblock during
transit; per-frame relocation resumes at FireLoginComplete (InWorld).

Live-verified with a new env-gated avatar-lifecycle probe (ACDREAM_PROBE_ENT /
EntityVanishProbe; [ent] draw-set transitions + [dyn] cull check): pre-fix the
trace showed `[ent] APPEND lb=0x0007FFFF(source) -> PENDING -> DRAWSET ABSENT`
never recovering; post-fix every teleport goes RESCUE -> ABSENT ->
APPEND(destination) -> PRESENT and stays drawn (4 teleports incl. to Holtburg,
session ended PRESENT).

Suites green: Core 1568(+2 skip), App 468(+2 skip), UI 425, Net 317.

9945d46280 fix(streaming): reload terrain on an outdoor teleport (sky-arcs)
Terrain vertices are baked into the GPU relative to the render origin (_liveCenter),
which only moves on a teleport. A FAR jump unloads/reloads everything → fine. But a
NEARBY outdoor jump (e.g. (170,168)->(169,180), 12 landblocks) leaves the old and new
streaming windows overlapping, so StreamingRegion.RecenterTo KEEPS the ~330 overlapping
blocks (correct — they're in the new window) — yet they still hold vertices baked at the
OLD origin. The instant _liveCenter moves they render shifted by the jump distance: a
band of terrain hanging in the sky ("terrain in the sky" arcs). Confirmed by probe: every
stale slot was offset by EXACTLY deltaLB*192 ((-1,12)*192 = (-192,2304)), 330 of them
persisting after the hop.

Fix: StreamingController.ForceReloadWindow() — on an OUTDOOR teleport, SYNCHRONOUSLY drop
every resident landblock (render slot + physics + state) so none survives the frame stale,
then null the region so NormalTick re-bootstraps the whole window fresh at the new origin
(the near ring is priority-applied behind the fade; the rest streams). Called from
OnLivePositionUpdated's outdoor recenter branch; sealed dungeons keep PreCollapseToDungeon.

Verified live: the exact nearby hop that produced 330 stale slots now produces 0 across
the whole session, and the horizon is clean.

15e320490d fix(world+streaming): trees-in-sky Z, O(1) anim, teleport near-ring + immediate unloads
Three apparatus-confirmed fixes from the world-load/FPS deep-dive (all live-verified).

1. trees-in-sky — scenery ground-Z now samples THIS landblock's OWN heightmap
   (TerrainSurface.SampleZFromHeightmap, lock-step with the physics terrain) instead
   of the global PhysicsEngine.SampleTerrainZ query. At build time the landblock isn't
   registered in physics yet, so that query could only return null OR a STALE
   neighbour's height — the previous location's terrain, still registered after a
   teleport recenter — planting scenery at the old altitude (+250..500m, confirmed via
   the [scenery-z-stale] probe). Own-heightmap is correct in every case; the query is
   removed. (GameWindow.BuildSceneryEntitiesForStreaming)

2. FPS per-hop — TickAnimations recovered each animated entity's server guid via an
   O(N) ReferenceEquals reverse scan over ALL _entitiesByServerGuid (which never
   evicts, so N climbs every teleport — the drops-with-each-hop sink). Replaced with
   ae.Entity.ServerGuid: O(1), exact-equivalent (the dict key IS entity.ServerGuid).
   (GameWindow.TickAnimations)

3. teleport arrival + bulk floating terrain — two streaming fixes:
   - Near-ring eager-apply: a teleport applies the destination's 3x3 surroundings
     (StreamingController.PriorityRadius) and holds the fade until they're resident
     (PhysicsEngine.IsNeighborhoodTerrainResident), so the player arrives in a loaded,
     collidable world instead of one landblock in the void.
   - Immediate unloads: DrainAndApply no longer throttles UNLOADS at the per-frame
     load budget — they're cheap (free GPU buffers, no upload). A teleport produced
     ~600 unloads draining at 4/frame, leaving the previous region resident for
     seconds (floating terrain) and accumulating across rapid hops (951 resident vs a
     625 window). Only GPU-upload LOADS are metered now. Cut out-of-window resident
     650 -> 63 and resident 951 -> 688 (live-verified via [resid-audit]).

Includes gated-off diagnostic probes (ACDREAM_PROBE_SCENERY_FRAME / _BLDG_REACH /
_STREAM_RESID) used to root-cause the above — zero-cost when unset, same pattern as
the committed tp-probe.

The pre-existing teleport-induced "terrain arcs in the sky" (present in the dd2eb8b
baseline too, with NONE of this work) are a SEPARATE bug — investigated next.

6e78fcd7f6 fix(teleport): dungeon-exit priority-apply footgun + wall-clock timeout + arrival facing
T6 visual gate found three issues; probe pinned the roots.

- StreamingController.DrainAndApply: the priority hunt + outbox drain were gated
  behind 'if (budget <= 0) return;' AFTER the deferred-buffer drain. During a
  dungeon-exit expand (~600 completions) the buffer is always >= budget, so the
  hunt never ran and the destination never priority-applied (APPLY stalled ~5s;
  dest built +265ms but applied +6s). Restructured: priority hunt runs FIRST and
  unconditionally. Indoor (single-LB collapse) was unaffected, which is why only
  outdoor exits broke.
- Teleport timeout was a 600-FRAME count; the empty-world exit hold renders at
  ~1000fps so it fired in ~0.6s and force-placed into the skybox before the
  expand finished. Now wall-clock (10s) — worldReady wins the race.
- Arrival facing: synced _playerController.Yaw to the server orientation via the
  exact inverse of YawToAcQuaternion (ExtractYawFromQuaternion has a 270deg offset
  vs our yaw). Previously only the render mesh got the rotation → camera/movement
  faced the stale pre-teleport direction.

3ce1fae332 feat(teleport C): TAS-driven fade transit + retire TeleportArrivalController
Wires the dormant TeleportAnimSequencer as the transit driver: on PlayerTeleport
the player holds in PortalSpace behind a full-screen fade (FadeOverlay) until the
destination terrain is resident (TeleportWorldReady, gated on the priority-applied
landblock), then materializes (Place), and after the world fades back in regains
control + acks the server (FireLoginComplete). No movement resolves against the
empty world, so the outbound cell frame can't corrupt. Outdoor changes from
place-immediately back to hold-until-resident (now fast, not a band-aid).

- FadeOverlay: fullscreen NDC black quad, alpha = ShowTunnel ? 1 : FadeAlpha.
- Retires TeleportArrivalController + its 2 tests (TAS subsumes the driver role).
- Divergence register: AD-2 updated to the new mechanism; AD-31 (fade vs swirl).

f918b3ea2c refactor(teleport A): O(N) deferred drain + never-arrives test (review fixes)
Replace RemoveAt(0)-in-a-loop drain idiom with RemoveRange(0, i) in both
Step-1 deferred drain and the post-found deferred drain inside DrainAndApply,
making each an O(N) single shift instead of O(N²) on the render-thread hot path.

Add PriorityNeverArrives_noThrow_noLoss_noDoubleApply test: sets a priority id
that never appears in the outbox, ticks several times, asserts no throw, no
loss of the non-priority completions, and no double-apply (applied count ==
completions enqueued). Comment above the priority-hunt explains the failure
mode: completions relocate to _deferredApply while the hunt is active and drain
at per-frame budget until the caller clears PriorityLandblockId.

Restyle test 2 to use named constructor arguments and break the compressed
lambda onto readable lines (matches test 1 style).

1f6baa6cfc feat(teleport A): StreamingController priority-apply for the teleport destination LB
Adds PriorityLandblockId (uint, default 0) + _deferredApply buffer.
DrainAndApply now: (1) applies up to budget from the deferred buffer,
(2) when PriorityLandblockId != 0, hunts the worker outbox in chunks
applying the priority LB immediately on match and buffering any
non-priority items drained past it for later frames,
(3) falls back to normal drain when no priority is set or not found.

Extracts ApplyResult(result) + ResultLandblockId(result) helpers so
both the priority and normal paths share identical side-effects.
No existing behaviour changes on the non-priority path.

21 streaming tests pass (19 existing + 2 new priority-apply tests).

0a5f91b6fe fix(streaming): #138 — rescue persistent entities from the pending bucket on unload
GpuWorldState.RemoveLandblock rescued persistent entities (the player)
only from the _loaded list, silently dropping one sitting in the
_pendingByLandblock bucket. The player is re-injected via AppendLiveEntity
every frame; right after a teleport its destination landblock has not
streamed in yet, so the player lands in the pending bucket — and if that
landblock is then unloaded during the streaming churn, the persistent
entry was dropped, violating the "persistent therefore survives unload"
contract. Leading candidate for the #138 "own avatar vanishes after a
couple round-trips" symptom (cumulative; needs user visual confirm).

Fix: scan the pending bucket for persistent guids and rescue them too,
so DrainRescued re-parks them at the next valid landblock. Provable
correctness fix with a deterministic test (rescue-from-pending plus a
negative for non-persistent). Core tests green.

Doors/NPCs/portals vanished after a portal OUT of the 0x0007 dungeon back

the dungeon collapse drops a landblock's render entities for FPS, and ACE
will NOT re-broadcast objects whose guid is still in its per-player
KnownObjects set (never cleared on a normal teleport — ACE relies on the
client retaining its object table and culling stale objects itself). So
nothing restored them on the way back.

Retail-faithful fix: a real client keeps its weenie_object_table and
re-renders the world from it (holtburger keeps the table across a
teleport; only suspends physics bodies). acdream's _lastSpawnByGuid (the
parsed CreateObject records — position + Setup + appearance) IS that
table and survives the collapse (the collapse path never calls
RemoveLiveEntityByServerGuid, the only thing that prunes it). On landblock
(re)load, replay OnLiveEntitySpawnedLocked for retained spawns whose
render entity is absent — independent of any ACE re-send.

- LandblockEntityRehydrator: pure selection (landblock match; skip
  already-present, the player, and mesh-less spawns), unit-tested (7).
- StreamingController: onLandblockLoaded callback after AddLandblock
  (Loaded = dungeon-exit expand) and AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock
  (Promoted = Far->Near).
- GameWindow.RehydrateServerEntitiesForLandblock: present-gate keys on
  GpuWorldState (NOT _entitiesByServerGuid, which holds collapse
  orphans), replay under _datLock; the replay's own
  RemoveLiveEntityByServerGuid de-dup scrubs the orphan state.

Corrects the handoff: ClientObjectTable is inventory-only (no world
position/Setup) and cannot rebuild a render entity; _lastSpawnByGuid is
the world-object table. Register row AP-48 (no retail 25s visibility
cull). dotnet build + 1518 Core tests green.

a15bd3b56d fix(streaming): #145 — teleport re-use via server-authoritative placement
Portals only worked once per session: teleporting OUT of a dungeon
mis-rooted the player into the SOURCE dungeon's coordinate frame, so every
move was sent dungeon-framed and ACE rejected it ("failed transition") —
the player couldn't move, never reached a portal, and the world wouldn't
re-render (only skybox).

Root cause: acdream's streaming-relative frame recenters on teleport, but
resident physics landblocks keep their load-time world-offset. After
recentering onto the outdoor destination, the collapsed source dungeon
(offset 0,0 as the prior center) and the destination (offset 0,0 as the
new center) overlap, and the Z-agnostic outdoor cell-snap returns the
dungeon for both the arrival placement and every per-frame resolve.

Fix (server-authoritative teleport placement):
- Drop the stale source center landblock from physics at the teleport
  recenter (GameWindow.OnLivePositionUpdated) so the resolve falls through
  to the server position (Resolve NO-LANDBLOCK verbatim) until the
  destination streams in.
- Place outdoor teleports immediately (TeleportArrivalRules) — holding is
  futile because streaming does not progress during a PortalSpace hold.
- Clear a dangling CellGraph.CurrCell when its landblock is removed
  (PhysicsEngine.RemoveLandblock) — otherwise the dungeon-streaming gate
  keeps streaming collapsed onto the gone dungeon (only skybox renders).

Keeps DungeonStreamingGate (gate suppression during the hold). Indoor
(dungeon-entry) placement is unchanged (cell-keyed, IsSpawnCellReady).

User-verified: in->out->re-enter works repeatedly, no ACE errors, world
renders. Remaining facets (server objects + own avatar not rendering after
a teleport-out) are entity render/lifecycle — split to #138.

Registers AP-36 + AD-2 updated. New: DungeonStreamingGate (+4 tests),
TeleportArrivalRules (+4 tests). Build + 2727 tests green.

712f17f0f2 fix(G.3): pre-collapse dungeon streaming at login/teleport — kill the login FPS ramp (#135)
On login (or teleport) into a dungeon, FPS started ~10 and climbed over ~30 s.
Root cause: the dungeon "collapse" (which shrinks the 25x25 streaming window to
the player's single dungeon landblock — AC dungeons have no neighbours) only
fires once the per-frame `insideDungeon` gate reads true, and that gate keys on
the physics CurrCell, which isn't set until the player is PLACED, which waits for
the dungeon landblock to hydrate. So during the whole hydration window NormalTick
bootstraps the full window — ~24 unrelated ocean-grid neighbour dungeons + their
~19k entities each — and the collapse only mops them up afterward. That mop-up is
the ramp.

Fix: trigger the SAME collapse early, the instant we recenter the streaming center
onto a sealed dungeon cell, before the first NormalTick.

- StreamingController.PreCollapseToDungeon(cx,cy): fires EnterDungeonCollapse
  early (idempotent). The expensive neighbour window is never enqueued.
- GameWindow.IsSealedDungeonCell(cellId): reads the EnvCell dat SeenOutside flag
  (CurrCell is null pre-placement) — the same flag ObjCell.SeenOutside and the
  per-frame gate use, so the early decision matches the eventual one. Distinguishes
  a real dungeon from a cottage/inn interior (SeenOutside → keeps its outdoor
  surround). Excludes the 0xFFFE/0xFFFF structural shell ids so an outdoor spawn id
  can't type-confuse a LandBlock record as an EnvCell.
- Hooks: OnLiveEntitySpawnedLocked (login) + OnLivePositionUpdated (teleport).
- Observer robustness: during a teleport PortalSpace hold the streaming observer
  follows the recentered destination, not the frozen pre-teleport position (which
  could drift >=2 landblocks off and trip ExitDungeonExpand). And
  _lastLivePlayerLandblockId is now filtered to the player guid (resolves the
  Phase A.1 TODO) so a stray NPC UpdatePosition can't drift the login-hold observer
  off the dungeon.

Faithful EARLY trigger of the existing AP-36 collapse mechanism, not a new
workaround — AP-36 amended in the same commit. Adversarially reviewed across
timing / threading / faithfulness lenses; 5 new tests including the real runtime
ordering (Tick bootstraps, then PreCollapse cancels). Core suite green (1463).
