Own every borrowed PartArray frame across callbacks, version presentation state across appearance rebinding, reject recursive phase consumption, and preserve static MotionDone when only a stale visual pose is discarded.
Port CPartArray::UpdateParts minimum-count behavior: preserve the prior visual and rigid transforms for setup parts absent from a short authored AnimFrame, including the initial hydrated rest pose.

Carry local WorldEntity identity through render hits, lighting pulses, and deferred movement actions so GUID reuse cannot target a replacement. Reset all session-owned selection and ItemHolder state and prevent combat auto-target during teardown.
Restore the named-retail object update order across local, remote, static, projectile, animation, shadow, teleport, and effect lifetimes. Separate authoritative root commits from spatial rebucketing, preserve per-owner hook/FIFO ordering, and remove update-path allocations with exact lifecycle and residency gates.
Add deterministic conformance, adversarial lifetime, GUID-reuse, pending-cell, quaternion, timestamp, and allocation coverage. Release build is warning-free and all 6,446 tests pass with five intentional skips; retail, architecture, and adversarial reviews are clean.

Process animation completion at the retail process_hooks boundary, then run targeting, movement, PartArray completion, and PositionManager in the named UpdateObjectInternal order for local, remote, hidden, and position-less animated objects. Retire TS-42 with deterministic conformance coverage.\n\nCo-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
Replace scheduler-quantized software sleeps with a reusable Windows high-resolution deadline timer, expose pacing in the frame profiler, and make shutdown wake every persistent mesh worker without losing the shared signal.
Preserve retail alpha order while using a stable radix, skip duplicate deferred-alpha SSBO packing, pack light sets, cache static selection descriptors, and retire historical material groups at the whole-frame boundary. The fixed dense-Caul sample improved from roughly 9-12 ms CPU to 5.3-6.2 ms without reducing visual quality.
Release build succeeds with zero warnings and all 6,300 tests pass with five intentional skips. Three independent retail, architecture, and adversarial reviews are clean; the post-review connected route remains pending because local ACE is offline.

Port retail's 25-second leave-visibility lifetime over canonical live records, retaining spatially resident and owned entities while using the conservative ACE visibility envelope for nonresident records. Route expiry through the normal generation-safe F747 teardown so animations, effects, physics, and render owners unwind symmetrically.
Replace the append-only modern mesh buffer with coalescing vertex/index ranges and upload each mesh's vertices once instead of once per material. Released zero-reference meshes can now reuse GPU ranges after portal and cache churn.
A connected five-region round trip returned animation ownership to baseline, recreated the starting region on revisit, and held normal FPS. Release build succeeds and all 5,927 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Queue translucent world GfxObj batches and scene particles in one stable far-to-near stream using transformed DAT sort centers, then drain it at retail's landscape and final-world boundaries. Preserve authored blend, cull, lighting, opacity, and adjacent-only batching so particles behind lifestones are composited through the crystal instead of overpainting it.

Replace the projected Setup-sphere rectangle and independent physics-wall ray with retail's render-coupled picker: only visible server-object parts participate, each exact drawing sphere broad-phases the camera-eye ray, and first-in-DAT-order visual polygon hits globally outrank sphere fallbacks.
Replace the devtools-only procedural triangles with the retained gameplay VividTargetIndicator using retail client-enum surfaces 1..4, radar-blip colorization, Setup selection-sphere framing, and the exact eight-pixel viewport clamp.
Release build succeeds with zero warnings and all 5,886 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Route accepted Hidden and UnHide transitions through retail's internal typed-script path so their DAT scripts queue while the owner is cell-less and resume at the destination. Consume ACE's successful teleport control statuses silently, matching retail HandleFailureEvent.
Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
Replace the opaque teleport cover with the DAT-authored CreatureMode tunnel, exact retail camera/light/animation timing and easing, and animation-hook audio routing. Compose portal and fade passes below retained UI so gameplay windows and input remain active through F751 travel.

Late-bind radar snapshots to the canonical LiveEntityRuntime maps so the retained radar survives bootstrap and session replacement instead of capturing empty sentinels.
Route paperdoll drops through the retail AutoWield blocker transaction. Move conflicting held weapons, shields, explicit jewelry destinations, and mismatched ammo to the backpack one authoritative confirmation at a time; preserve compatible arrows when switching to melee.
Render mode-1 and no-degrade particle GfxObjs as their authored modern-pipeline meshes, retain Always2D billboards, interleave both paths back-to-front, balance emitter mesh ownership, and fail safely on corrupt DAT material metadata. This restores the closed apex on Armor Self/protection effects.
Retain Studio fixture controller lifetimes, add installed-DAT and adversarial regression coverage, synchronize retail research/divergence bookkeeping, and pass all three review tracks plus the full Release suite.
Co-Authored-By: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
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.

Preserve canonical live-object ownership across Hidden transitions and remote teleport placement so effects, collision, streaming, and targeting remain synchronized.
Replace the incomplete package path with one DatCollection-backed compatibility seam for PhysicsScripts and Animations. Preserve CreateBlockingParticle's inherited payload and following cursor, route every production and audit consumer through the corrected loaders, and apply retail's post-UnPack StartTime ordering.
Add exact stored-order PhysicsScriptTable upper-threshold resolution, high-byte DID and embedded-ID validation, plus live effect profiles with Setup-to-PhysicsDesc precedence across top-level and attached entity lifetimes. Keep blocking execution deferred and narrow TS-11 accordingly.
Pin synthetic malformed/cursor/order fixtures, installed-DAT blocking and recall audits, high-index IDs, IEEE boundaries, profile teardown, and ordinary decoder parity; synchronize architecture, inventory, milestones, roadmap, research, and memory.
Co-Authored-By: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
Carry TerrainTex.TexTiling through the terrain atlas and upload a layer-indexed table to the modern bindless shader so base, overlay, and road textures repeat at retail scale. Keep alpha masks cell-scaled and preserve retail's verified source-level-zero high-detail selection.
Add the named-retail pseudocode, WorldBuilder/ACE/ACME cross-reference, adapter conformance tests, and inventory documentation so a future renderer migration keeps the contract.

Root cause (measured, not guessed): the OOM was a MANAGED Large-Object-Heap leak
(~5 GB in 6 min of roaming; working set 1.6 GB -> 7.6 GB), dominated by ~3.8 GB of
live System.Single[]. A heap-retention analysis of a captured gcdump traced 241 of
242 giant float arrays to a single List<float>: WbDrawDispatcher.InstanceGroup.Opacities.
#188 (2026-07-09, fading doors) added Opacities as a 5th per-instance parallel list
alongside Matrices/Slots/LightSets/IndoorFlags, but left it out of the per-frame
clear loop (WbDrawDispatcher.cs:959). So Opacities.Add(1.0f) fired once per drawn
instance per frame and the list never reset — growing forever; List<float> capacity
doubling produced the observed ~128 MB / ~512 MB power-of-two arrays and OOM after
~50 min. Hit both UI builds because it's core render, and started only recently
because Opacities did not exist before #188.
Fix: extract the per-frame reset into InstanceGroup.ClearPerInstanceData() (promoted
InstanceGroup private->internal) that clears ALL FIVE parallel lists in one place, so
a future 6th list can't silently drift out of the frame lifecycle again. Line 959 now
calls it. TDD: InstanceGroupClearTests asserts every parallel list resets (RED with
the old 4-list clear, GREEN after adding Opacities.Clear()).
Static-audit note: this is exactly why we measured before fixing — the audit ranked
GlobalMeshBuffer (GPU) #1 and the entity-dict leak #3; both were wrong about the
dominant cause. The dotnet-counters (managed vs native) + gcdump retention graph
named the real one-line culprit.
Secondary (NOT this commit): _groups dictionary is never pruned (bounded by distinct
group keys, empty groups are cheap) — filed as a follow-up, not the multi-GB driver.

The indoor GREY flap at a top-floor connecting room. The render portal side-cull
reconstructed each doorway's "interior side" (PortalClipPlane.InsideSide) from the
cell's AABB CENTROID. For a THIN connector cell (0xF6820118, 5 render polys), the
bounding-box center falls on the WRONG side of the 0118->0116 doorway, so the eye
read as a back-portal and the forward room 0116 was culled -> the aperture showed
the fog clear color = grey.
Retail's PView::InitCell (0x005a4b70) and acdream's own PHYSICS path
(CellTransit.cs:190) both read the explicit dat PortalSide bit ((Flags&2)==0)
instead of guessing from geometry. Port the render path (GameWindow.BuildLoadedCell)
to the same bit.
Proven by a live retail cdb trace (retail draws 0116 from the 0118 root at the grey
pose; tools/cdb/issue186-connector-decider.cdb) + an offline dat diagnostic
(Issue186...PortalSide_CentroidVsDatBit_AtGreyEye): the dat bit matches the old
centroid on every portal of these cells EXCEPT the one #186 breaks, so the switch is
surgical. Full regression green (App 741 / Core 2631); the CornerFlood + Issue113
dat-loading helpers updated to the same bit confirm every real Holtburg/tower/hall
cell floods identically. Touches neither PortalSideEpsilon nor the deleted
EyeInsidePortalOpening rescue (the two DO-NOT-RETRY traps).
Live-gated: user-confirmed no grey at any camera angle; probe shows 216 root=0118
frames, 0 still grey (0118->0116 now TRV, vis=4).

Attached cdb to live retail (PDB MATCH), broke on PView::DrawCells (0x005a4840),
dumped cell_draw_num + cell_draw_list cell ids + the eye
(Render::FrameCurrent->viewer.viewpoint) while descending the Facility Hub spiral.
Retail's flood is dynamic and IDENTICAL in character to ours: from the spiral cells
it swings num 3->27 with gaze and collapses to 3 cells at many poses (cam=015d ->
{015d 015e 015f}). Our flood does the same (3->43). So retail does NOT keep the
staircase where we drop it -- the flood is exonerated as the cause.
Session trail (all in ISSUES #177): ruled out lighting, membership, camera coherence,
the collision sweep, the 0178/0182/0183 handoff cells, and edge-on eye-in-opening
(fix#1 shipped -> visual-gate-failed -> reverted, PortalVisibilityBuilder + AP-86 both
restored exactly). Freshest un-chased lead: the steps are STATIC objects (GfxObj
0x010000DE x6/cell) drawn via the viewcone cull, not cell shell.
Adds: Issue177StairDescentCameraFloodTests (real-camera+flood + composition +
flood-depth characterization pins) and a reusable retail-cdb capture toolchain
(tools/cdb/pview-verify.cdb, pview-spiral2.cdb with the correct top-level-qd detach --
qd in a CONDITIONAL bp action does NOT fire and strands cdb attached).
No production code change (fix#1 reverted). PARKED per user; M1.5 critical path next.

The user's retail axiom (camera rock steady pressed into walls) vs our measured wall-press wander (~0.5mm/frame limit cycle, headless pin Issue181WallPressEquilibriumTests) sent us back to the decomp. Ghidra (clean, vs the BN x87 mush): retail VIEWERS subdivide the sweep into EXACTLY radius-length steps anchored at the start (offsetPerStep = offset*r/len, numSteps = floor(len/r)+1) with the final step recomputed mid-loop as the exact remainder (find_transitional_position 0x0050bdf0), and the negligible-offset abort is NON-viewer-only. Ours used ceil equal-slices for everything and aborted viewers too. Ported faithfully (pseudocode docs/research/2026-07-06-viewer-step-subdivision-pseudocode.md); non-viewer stepping already matched (TRANSITIONAL_PERCENT_OF_RADIUS=1.0).
Measurement: the wall-press limit cycle is UNCHANGED by the port (537.8um avg; a bit-exact 12-frame cycle: ~130um/frame inward creep x11 then a 2.6mm snap). With adjust_to_plane + adjust_sphere_to_poly now also Ghidra-verified faithful, the residual mm cycle is likely retail-class plateau physics - invisible at retail's 60fps vsync, tear-interleaved into visible stripes at our ~1500fps unsynced. The decisive user test: VSync ON (Settings/F11). Fallback discriminator: cdb-trace retail's viewer at a wall press. Suites green (Core 2600 / App 733 / UI 425 / Net 385).

Diagnostic_FlappingCellViewRegion_SliverOrLarge: at the flap pose the admitted region is one degenerate triangle (ndcArea ~0), and ClipPlaneSet.From handles degenerates correctly (area<1e-7 -> Empty) - the cell's own gated geometry costs ~zero pixels either way. The a7 pseudocode CORRECTION-2 re-read kills the flood-scoped-lights framing (the pool is already resident+player-anchored since d8984e87). Remaining suspects: per-cell light-set SSBO slot assignment (SelectForCell) or the seal/punch assembly keyed to the drawn-cell list. Next instrument: parked ACDREAM_PROBE_SEAMDRAW=1 run, diff the washed cell's [seam-blk] applied-set lines between vis=31 and vis=32 frames. ISSUES #181 + render digest updated.

Issue181VisFlapReplayTests: headless flood replay at the live parked pose names cell 0x8A020181 - +-0.5mm eye perturbations flip its admission (at yaw15/pitch-20 for every direction). Issue181CameraParkStabilityTests: the camera loop parks BIT-EXACT with static inputs (0.00um over 2000 frames) - the live ~1mm/frame wander is the wall-press equilibrium (sought steps a*gap ~4mm into the wall per frame, the clip lands within adjust_to_plane's parametric 0.02 window; player physics bit-frozen per [resolve]). That wobble is retail-class. The defect is OURS: the A7 adaptation scopes light application to the camera flood's per-frame admission, so a sliver cell flapping flips whole lit regions; retail computes light reach once at registration (Render::add_static_light -> CObjCell::add_lights), camera-independent. Fix direction: registration-time per-light reach sets via the portal graph (pseudocode docs/research/2026-07-06-a7-per-cell-lighting-pseudocode.md). ISSUES #181 updated with the full chain.

The camera-collision sweep strobed the eye 0.27m every ~5-10 frames while
the compressed chase boom moved along corridor walls (pulledIn 0.27<->0.53
on ~1.4mm input drift): RetailChaseCamera re-demanded the FULL-length ideal
boom from scratch each frame, so the pivot->eye ray re-rolled the same
knife-edge r+-eps graze on the double-faced slabs every frame, and its two
first-contact solutions tear-interleaved at ~1700fps into the #176
"stripes/triangles".
Retail never re-rolls that ray. CameraManager::UpdateCamera (0x00456660)
interpolates FROM THE CURRENT SWEPT VIEWER toward the desired pose
(interpolate_origin/rotation, stiffness 0.45 x dt x 10, clamped) and the
result becomes viewer_sought_position (SmartBox::PlayerPhysicsUpdatedCallback
0x00452d60); update_viewer (0x00453ce0) sweeps pivot->SOUGHT. Pressed against
a wall the sweep ray extends one interpolation step past the contact
(sub-mm at high fps), so a bistable graze can move the eye by at most that
step - the strobe is structurally impossible. A 0.4mm/2e-4 dead-band parks
the sought exactly on the viewer when converged (0x00456fcd-0x00457035).
- RetailChaseCamera: _dampedEye -> _soughtEye + _publishedEye (retail's two
Positions); lerp base = the published (swept) viewer; sweep targets the
sought; total-fallback (ViewerCellId==0) resets the sought like
set_viewer(player_pos, 1). The old "collision must NOT feed back into the
damped state" comment had the coupling backwards - what stays clean is the
transient desired pose, not the sought.
- SweepEye untouched (faithful update_viewer port, exonerated by the #180
investigation).
- Tests: the old pin asserting instant full re-extension after a clamp
(the divergence itself) replaced with four retail pins: gradual
re-extension, sweep-target-converges-onto-contact, total-fallback
re-extends from the player, wall-press glide stability.
- Pseudocode doc: docs/research/2026-07-06-camera-sought-position-pseudocode.md
(UpdateCamera tail incl. the sought derivation + set_viewer reset semantics
+ Frame interpolate/close_rotation).
- Register: AD-37 (forward-vector nlerp vs quaternion slerp), AD-38
(init-at-full-extension vs retail re-extend-from-player) - both
pre-existing, identified during the decomp reading.
Suites green (Core 2599+2skip / App 729+2skip / UI 425 / Net 385).
Pending: autonomous visual verify + user gate (#180 + the #176 re-gate).

The dungeon render pair (purple seam flash + stair pop-in) resisted
desk root-causing, but the investigation narrowed the space to two
live theories and shipped permanent apparatus:
- Issue176177DungeonSeamInspectionTests: dat truth — corridor floors
ARE textured drawn PortalSide portal polys; the reciprocal is NoPos;
the 'stairs' are 0x8A020182's ramp shell (vertical portals, zero
statics); CellBSP partitions exactly at portal planes; DXT1 textures
carry zero transparent-mode texels.
- Issue176177FacilityHubFloodReplayTests: production-matched flood
replays — approach/descent/gaze-sweep/walk all healthy with coherent
inputs; ScenarioE pins the flood's collapse-to-root sensitivity under
incoherent (root, eye) pairs.
- Issue176177SeamTransitLagTests: the resolver flips cells within one
tick-step of the portal plane — the 0.33-0.47m [cell-transit] 'lag'
in the gate logs is speed*tick quantization, not membership error.
Refuted (do NOT retry — ledger in the research doc): placeholder
texture, reciprocal z-fight, seal z-fight (seals only fire for
OtherCellId==0xFFFF), root/eye incoherence (production camera sweep is
mm-exact at planes), flood bistability, #119-class statics, undefined
DXT mips (both paths decode DXT->RGBA8; the compressed-array branch is
dead code), DXT1 alpha, fog mix (ramp ~538m), lightning leak (flash==0
in production), viewer-light pops (smooth (1-d/range) ramp).
Filed #178 (A8 double-sided shell stopgap still live) and #179
(lightning flash lacks an indoor gate — dormant). The purple can only
be the fog clear color (undrawn pixels) or the outdoor ambient+sun
tint; discrimination needs ONE probe launch (ACDREAM_PROBE_LIGHT +
ACDREAM_PROBE_PVINPUT + ACDREAM_PROBE_CELL) — protocol in
docs/research/2026-07-06-176-177-render-pair-investigation.md.

The paperdoll doll now matches retail: correct held pose, framing, and
facing. Three decomp-sourced fixes closed the visual gate.
Pose: cdb-confirmed m_didAnimation = 0x030003C0 (gmPaperDollUI), played
once + HELD (set_sequence_animation framerate=0, RedressCreature
0x004a3c22). Dumping the dat showed the 29-frame anim has only two
distinct keyframes — frame 0 (transitional, bent arm) and frames 1..28
(byte-identical: the settled stance, arms down + leg back) — so
ApplyPaperdollPose applies the LAST frame statically (no looping).
Camera: ported verbatim from UIElement_Viewport::SetCamera (decomp
0x004a5a39). position (0.12,-2.4,0.88); direction (0,0,0) => IDENTITY
view frame => look straight down +Y, ZERO yaw; FOV pi/4 (CreatureMode
ctor default 0x004543cf); ambient 0.3. The prior hand-tune aimed the
camera at mid-body, adding a ~2deg yaw that turned the doll's face away
— full-body framing comes from eye-height + FOV, not aiming.
Heading: retail Frame::set_heading(h) (0x00535e40) builds facing
(sin h, cos h); System.Numerics CreateFromAxisAngle(+Z, +h) rotates the
body's default +Y forward to (-sin h, cos h) — the X-lean was MIRRORED
(~22deg), the real cause of the turned-away face. Negate the angle to
land on retail's facing.
Wrap-up: stripped the temporary O/P pose-frame stepper + Slice2
diagnostics; divergence register AP-66 reworded, AP-67 (RTT doll render
vs in-cell CreatureMode::Render) + AP-68 (per-race UpdateForRace
unimpl) added; DollCameraTests pinned to the retail values + a zero-yaw
guard. tools/cdb/paperdoll-pose.cdb = the pose-DID capture script.
Build + full suite green (Core 1579 / Core.Net 343 / App 597 / UI 425).

Visual gate 1 (user): the doll rendered but only the legs showed (camera
aimed at the model origin = the feet) and the Slots button was invisible.
- DollCamera: aim the look-at at mid-body (~0.95 m) and stand back ~3.7 m
so the whole ~1.9 m figure fits. (Size is a later retail-comparison
polish per the user.)
- PaperdollController: the Slots button (0x100005BE) is found + wired
(diagnostic confirmed armorSlots=9/9, viewport=UiViewport,
slotsButton=UiButton) but its dat element has no face sprite, so it drew
nothing. Give it a gold "Slots" caption (UiButton.Label, like chat Send)
via a new datFont param on Bind. Temporary [Slice2-paperdoll] diagnostic
logs the button rect + the found widgets (stripped at wrap-up).
Idle animation deferred to a focused follow-up (faithful idle needs a full
AnimatedEntity + Sequencer through the TickAnimations multi-branch path +
re-dress coordination — real integration risk vs the verified static doll).
Build + full App suite green (594).
