Followed up the geometry-gap diagnosis with a wider polygon search.
Result: the cottage's north exterior wall east of doorway DOES exist
in cottage GfxObj 0x01000A2B (polys 0x0032, 0x0033) at
world X=[133.5, 136.3], Y=17.10, Z=[94, 97], normal +Y. Symmetric
polys cover the west side and above the doorway lintel.
The wall SHOULD block sphere at X=133.655 (sphere west edge at 133.175
overlaps wall X range; sphere south edge at 17.11 aligns with wall
at Y=17.10).
New hypothesis: the bug is sphere-vs-corner collision at the meeting
point of cell 0x0150's east wall (X=133.5, Y=[16.5, 17.1]) and the
cottage's north exterior wall (X=[133.5, 136.3], Y=17.10). Cell
transit data shows sphere going from X=132.859 entering alcove to
X=134.022 leaving alcove — sphere reached X=134.022 INSIDE cottage
geometry somehow. The sliding along the slab east face (cn=(+1,0,0)
in captured tick 3254) gradually pushes sphere east. Eventually it
shifts past X=133.5 — the corner where alcove east wall meets cottage
north wall. The corner-handling in our BSP collision may incorrectly
let the sphere slide past, or the alcove cell's east wall and cottage
GfxObj's north wall don't compose correctly at the corner.
Diagnostic apparatus extensions:
- HoltburgLandblockStatics_DatInspection: dumps LandBlockInfo for
landblock 0xA9B4. Shows 114 stabs + 12 buildings. The cottage IS
Building[6] with modelId=0x01000A2B (the GfxObj we already loaded).
- Diagnostic_CottagePolys_NearWalkthroughPosition: widened search
reveals the cottage's full north exterior wall geometry.
- HoltburgCottage_CellPortals_DatInspection: extended with cell
PhysicsPolygon world-frame dump (already in prior commit).

Next-session move: add a "sphere walks +Y from inside alcove at
X near 133" test. If harness slides past the corner like production,
investigate BSPQuery's sphere-vs-edge case. If harness blocks at
corner, the bug is elsewhere (cell 0x0150 BSP not queried, or
cottage GfxObj BSP traversal misses the wall poly).

Added diagnostic apparatus that pinpoints the inside-out walkthrough
as a collision-geometry GAP, not a collision-detection bug.
New tests in DoorBugTrajectoryReplayTests:
- InsideOut_Tick3254_WithCottageWalls_ShouldBlock: hypothesis test that
registered cottage GfxObj 0x01000A2B and replayed the captured tick.
Cottage blocked sphere but with cn=(0,0,1) floor-cap normal, not a
wall normal — first signal that cottage geometry near the sphere
isn't a wall.
- Diagnostic_CottagePolys_NearWalkthroughPosition: dumps cottage polys
near sphere XY=(133.655, 17.59) at any Z. Result: ZERO cottage
polygons in that area. The cottage GfxObj has no geometry where the
sphere walks through.
DoorSetupGfxObjInspectionTests.HoltburgCottage_CellPortals_DatInspection
extended to dump cell 0xA9B40150's 4 physics polygons in world frame:
- floor (Z=94), ceiling (Z=96.5), west wall (X=131.6), east wall (X=133.5)
- All walls only span Y=[16.5, 17.1] — the small doorway alcove volume
- North of Y=17.1, no wall
Captured sphere at (133.655, 17.59) is 0.155 m east of cell east wall
AND 0.49 m north of the wall's Y range. No collision geometry exists
at that XY past Y=17.1. The collision representation has a gap that
the visual cottage covers with a wall.
Production capture confirms the diagnosis: cottage GfxObj fires
[bsp-test] 425 times during inside-out walking — visibility IS
correct post-AddAllOutsideCells fix. Door slab fires 245 times. But
the BSP queries find no polygon at (133.655, 17.6+, 94-95.20). The
slab's east face blocks WEST motion (cn=(+1,0,0) as captured), sphere
free to move +Y past it because no wall is there to block.
Three candidates for next-session investigation:
1. Different cottage GfxObj (Holtburg cottages may be multi-piece)
2. Landblock-baked stab static at the cottage exterior wall location
3. Cottage GfxObj's visual polygons wider than physics polygons (dat fact)
Cheapest next step: add LandblockStatics_DatInspection test that
loads LandBlockInfo 0xA9B4FFFE + iterates StaticObjects + prints
every entity at world XY in [131,135] x [16,19]. Reveals what other
entities live at the cottage doorway.

CellTransit.AddAllOutsideCells assumed sphere coords were absolute world
coords (subtracting lbXf = 0xA9 * 192 = 32448 from the sphere position).
Production has used landblock-local coords since Phase A.1
(streaming-center landblock at world origin), so the subtraction
produced localX = -32316, gridX = -1346 → out-of-range → early return
→ ZERO outdoor cells added.
For outdoor primary cells the bug was masked by GetNearbyObjects's
radial sweep. For indoor primary cells (where #98 gates the outdoor
sweep), the door's outdoor cell 0xA9B40029 never reached
portalReachableCells, the door's BSP was never queried, and the player
walked through Holtburg cottage doors unimpeded.
Fix: AddAllOutsideCells treats worldSphereCenter as landblock-local
directly. Matches retail CLandCell::add_all_outside_cells which uses
the per-cell 6-byte landblock-relative position struct.
Existing CellTransitAddAllOutsideCellsTests + CellTransitFindCellSetTests
updated to use landblock-local sphere coords (they were the only callers
using the world-coord convention; production never did).
Apparatus shipped:
- DoorBugTrajectoryReplayTests — live-capture-driven replay harness
that pinpointed the bug per-field at unit-test speed (<500ms iteration)
- AddAllOutsideCells_LandblockLocalSphere_AddsDoorOutdoorCell — direct
unit test that demonstrates the fix
- FindTransitCellsSphere_IndoorExitPortal_AddsOutsideForCapturedSpherePos
— verifies cell-portal traversal at the captured sphere position
- DoorSetupGfxObjInspectionTests.HoltburgCottage_CellPortals_DatInspection
— dat-direct EnvCell + Environment.Cells + portal-poly inspector
- Fixture: tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Fixtures/door-bug/live-capture.jsonl
(tick 13558 walkthrough + tick 22760 outdoor block)
Visual verification (user-driven at Holtburg cottage door, ~50cm off-center):
- outside→inside RUN: now BLOCKS (was: walks through)
- outside→inside WALK: presumed blocks (not retested)
- inside→outside RUN: PARTIAL — body intersects door, sphere slides through
- inside→outside WALK: same partial behavior
The remaining inside→outside asymmetry is a SEPARATE bug in BSP
collision response for two-sided polygons. The [bsp-test] probe now
fires 245 times for the door entity from indoor (was 0 pre-fix) —
door IS being queried; the BSP polygon-level collision response is
the new bug. Handoff at
docs/research/2026-05-25-door-bug-partial-fix-shipped.md.

Read-only deterministic test that opens the real client dat and
dumps Setup 0x020019FF + every GfxObj id it references. Bypasses
PhysicsDataCache's four early-return filters so we see WHAT is in
the dat, not what got into the cache. Skips gracefully when the
dat directory isn't present (keeps CI green).
Result reframes the prior session's investigation:
GfxObj 0x010044B5 (part 0 of the door) DOES have a full door-slab
PhysicsBSP — 6 two-sided (SidesType=Landblock) polygons forming a
1.925m × 0.261m × 2.490m collision volume at frame[0] offset
(-0.006, 0.125, 1.275). Bounding sphere radius 1.975. HasPhysics
flag set. So the handoff's Hypothesis A ("0x010044B5 has no
collision-bearing polygons, only visual") is FALSE.
GfxObj 0x010044B6 (parts 1 + 2, the swinging leaves) IS visual-only
by retail design — HasPhysics clear, PhysicsBSP null, 0 PhysicsPolygons,
but 87 visual Polygons. Our ShadowShapeBuilder skipping these matches
retail's CPhysicsPart::find_obj_collisions short-circuit on
physics_bsp==0 (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:275051) — not a bug.
So the door collision bug is in INTEGRATION, not data. The Task 7
experiment last session registered 0x010044B5's BSP but got zero
[resolve-bldg] attributions. With the data confirmed good, the
next apparatus is a deterministic harness that hydrates 0x010044B5
from a dat dump, registers it via RegisterMultiPart, and sweeps a
player sphere into the door to confirm whether BSP collision fires
in isolation.
