Project the original Run failure with loaded build, cached GPU and cell context before unwind. Preserve crash status and rethrow; contain report failures and omit arbitrary messages, source paths and session data.
Focused 19/19, narrow production/privacy review and default Release 17044/0/0 pass. Preserve the wrong-package smoke failure and real emitted report; corrected recipe10 smoke exits gracefully with two provisional PNG passes. AMD initiating cause and G4 remain open; FPS deferred. No new retail behavior deviation.
Native-boundary injection: old code 9 pass / 6 expected Assert.Throws failures. Separate acquire and present sabotage each fail their 3 fatal cases; restored focused gate 82/82. One independent API/production review PASS. Lead locked Release 0W0E; literal-hermetic 17051/0/0, manifest32/32. No retirement, recovery, normal result policy or retail behavior changes. This is first-failure evidence preservation, not an AMD reset fix; extended reproduction and G4 remain open.
Retain building and object collision for available neighboring landcells when the terrain polygon does not cover the sphere center. Verified against named and paired retail dispatch. Add prepared-flat regressions and installed cathedral repro with sabotage proof. Full Release gate 17036/0/0 and graphical wall blocking, overlap correction and escape pass provisionally. Owner accepts functional collision; exact retail settle coordinates are not claimed. Retire UN-10; keep AP159, AMD stability and final G4 open.
Scan both instance and static declared fields so a second static WalkPView or RetailFrameWalk owner cannot evade the final-graph architecture proof. Preserve the exact owner/count assertions.
Mutation evidence (both restored):
1. Added static WalkPView field to RetailPViewRenderer -> WalkFrameOwners_AreUnique first failed Assert.All: expected RetailFrameWalk owner, actual RetailPViewRenderer (3 fields).
2. Added static RetailFrameWalk field to RetailFrameWalk -> WalkFrameOwners_AreUnique first failed Assert.Single with _frameWalk and MutatedStaticRetailFrameWalk.
Delete the callerless portal-BFS research graph and spent renderer probe families while retaining the production RetailFrameWalk path, terrain diagnostics, membership invariant, and walk transcript.
Mutation evidence (all restored):
1. Restored PortalVisibilityBuilder type -> AppAssembly_ContainsNoSupersededPortalGraphTypes first failed Assert.Empty with AcDream.App.Rendering.PortalVisibilityBuilder.
2. Restored ACDREAM_PROBE_FACILITY_STAIRS -> ProductionSource_ContainsNoDeletedRendererProbe_AndRetainsWalkTranscriptProof first failed Assert.Empty on RenderingDiagnostics.cs.
3. Added a second RetailFrameWalk field -> WalkFrameOwners_AreUnique first failed Assert.Single with _frameWalk and _mutatedSecondFrameWalk.
4. Added OrderBy to OrderedStream -> OrderedWalkStream_HasNoCrossStreamReorder first failed Assert.DoesNotContain on OrderBy(.
5. Added IDatReaderWriter parameter -> FrameTimeWalkOwners_HaveNoRawDatDependency first failed Assert.Empty on RetailFrameWalk.MutatedRawDatParameter.
Keep both atmospheric vertex receivers on retail's exact authored, unnormalized uLights direction in every shadow-gate state while preserving the selected celestial direction for fragment shadow projection and volumetrics. Regenerate the affected SPIR-V and amend IA-24.
Proof adds committed-SPIR-V dataflow checks, parent plain/pipeline source pins, and a real Vulkan mesh+terrain pixel witness owned by Lane=Vulkan.
Mutation first failures (all restored):
1. Restoring the mesh shadow/celestial branch failed CommittedProductionAtmosphericReceivers_KeepAuthoredLightAcrossShadowGate at line 27: expected Pixel 128/128/128/255, actual 0/0/0/255.
2. Restoring the terrain shadow/celestial branch failed the same witness at line 28: expected Pixel 128/128/128/255, actual 0/0/0/255.
3. Normalizing the authored mesh direction failed AssertAuthoredHalfIntensity at line 277: expected 126..129, actual 255.
4. Removing atmospheric_volumetric.frag's celestial xyz use failed ProductionShadowAndVolumetricModules_StillNormalizeTheCelestialProjectionDirection at line 61: Assert.Single found no matching member-5 access.
5. Restoring IA-24's old celestial-base-light claim failed BuiltInAndDeclaredShadowGraphsUseTheSameTypedPriorVisibilitySelector at line 1482: the authored unnormalized uLights sole-base-light assertion was absent.
Record the exact sync2 COPY/TRANSFER_WRITE to HOST/HOST_READ buffer dependency over the copied readback range before ending and submitting the existing command buffer. Preserve coherent mapping and queue-idle completion.
Add a portable guard that inspects the descriptor factory used by the live ReadBack path and pins copy, descriptor, barrier, end, and submit order without initializing Vulkan.
Mutations performed and restored:
1. Removed the live post-copy barrier: the guard first failed with Expected copy -> descriptor -> barrier -> end -> submit, got 4260, -1, -1, -1, 4386, 4900.
2. Changed source access to TransferReadBit: the guard first failed Assert.Equal, expected Access2TransferWriteBit, actual Access2TransferReadBit.
3. Moved the correct barrier before the copy: the guard first failed with Expected copy -> descriptor -> barrier -> end -> submit, got 4657, 4260, 4525, 4594, 4783, 5297.
Tag the production offscreen witness as Lane=Vulkan, exclude capability-owned tests from the portable Release filter, and give lavapipe an explicit trait-only invocation after the portable Vulkan contracts.
Document the lane and pin witness, portable-filter, and workflow ownership without initializing Vulkan.
Mutations performed and restored:
1. Removed the witness trait: VulkanLaneOwnershipContractTests first failed Assert.Matches because the Lane=Vulkan/Fact/method pattern was absent.
2. Removed Lane!=Vulkan from the default filter: the contract first failed Assert.Contains, not found Lane!=Vulkan.
3. Weakened the dedicated invocation to Lane!=Vulkan: the contract first failed Assert.Contains, not found --filter Lane=Vulkan in the hardware step.
4. Narrowed the dedicated invocation with FullyQualifiedName: the contract first failed Assert.DoesNotContain because FullyQualifiedName was present at position 231.
Use the shared absolute base-instance domain only for mesh transforms and subtract the published transform prefix for every live ordinary sidecar. Regenerate the production module and pin its hash.
Add real ordered-recording, committed-SPIR-V structure, and headless production-Vulkan pixel witnesses at nonzero prefixes, including receiver active/inactive invariance.
Mutations performed and restored:
1. Transform lookup -> local instanceIndex: MeshModernSharedIndexSpirvTests first failed Assert.Contains, item 368 not found in [27,377,27] (and the pixel witness found 0 dark pixels).
2. Selection sidecar -> absolute transformIndex: MeshModernSharedIndexOffscreenTests first failed: Expected a dark local-sidecar instance, found 0 matching pixels.
3. Published TextureIndexB -> 0: SharedTransformPrefix recording first failed Assert.Equal, expected 3, actual 0.
4. Receiver choice inverted: inactive first failed because expected mesh_modern was absent and only mesh_atmospheric was recorded; active failed conversely.
5. Offscreen shader directory -> copied test output: witness first failed the exact-path Assert.Equal (expected repo src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Shaders/spv, actual tests/AcDream.App.Tests/bin/Release/net10.0/Rendering/Shaders/spv).
Restore the pre-c4 classic immediate path for transparent commands without active building detail: always use the shared alpha pipeline and coalesce adjacent same-cull commands across TranslucencyKind boundaries. Keep detail-active material selection, detail arm/reset, and inner cull-run splitting unchanged.
Required mutations and first discriminating failures (all restored):
1. Non-detail arm restored to PipelineForBlend: ClassicImmediate_NonDetailUsesAlphaBlendWhenDetailIsDisabledOrUnavailable first reported InvAlpha/detail-disabled at line 1258; expected wb-mesh-alpha-1x, actual wb-mesh-inverse-1x.
2. Translucency equality split restored with the alpha arm intact: ClassicImmediate_NonDetailCrossBlendRunCoalescesIntoOnePhysicalDraw failed at line 1279; Assert.Single saw 3 physical MDI records.
3. Detail-active command forced onto AlphaBlend: ClassicImmediate_DetailActiveUsesExactMaterialPipelineAndArm failed at line 1303; expected wb-mesh-raw-additive-depth-write-1x, actual wb-mesh-alpha-1x.
Add paired depth-write variants for all five blended SetSurface families in ordinary and atmospheric Wb pipeline sets at both sample counts and in EnvCell. Select them only from the carried AlphaTestEnabled state, retain pure-Clip and Translucent override behavior, and cover disposal plus partial-construction rollback.
Correct the three stale depth oracles and the AP register count/temporary AP-232 overclaim.
Required restored mutations and first discriminating failures:
1. Wb StraightAlpha+Clip collapsed to depth-off: WalkStaticStreamPopulatorTests.ImmediateBuildingDetail_UsesExactResolvedSetSurfaceState failed at line 1278; expected wb-mesh-alpha-depth-write-1x, binds were wb-mesh-alpha-1x.
2. EnvCell raw Additive+Clip collapsed to depth-off: EnvCellAlphaDrawSourceTests.DetailOn_EveryEnvCellFamilyDrawsOnceInPlaceWithAuthoredOpacity failed at line 132; expected envcell-raw-additive-depth-write, actual envcell-raw-additive.
3. EnvCell non-Clip raw Additive forced depth-on: the same production transcript failed at line 132; first row expected envcell-raw-additive, actual envcell-raw-additive-depth-write.
4. Late Translucent|Clip override forced alpha-test/depth-on: the same production transcript failed at line 132; expected envcell-alpha, actual envcell-alpha-depth-write.
Resolve exact SetSurface blend, alpha-test, and fog state once during extraction and preserve it through recipe-10 prepared payloads, Wb/EnvCell command data, Vulkan pipelines, push constants, and both ordinary/atmospheric one-pass shaders. Preserve AP-240 Wb pure-Clip immediate opaque/A2C while EnvCell uses retail premultiplied Clip; detail-off routing remains unchanged. Correct AP-232 and register the remaining detail-off state divergence.

Replace the building and EnvCell detail replay with retail's exact single-pass stage result, including authored surface opacity, squared detail alpha, final-alpha clipping, and the original subset pipeline/order. Arm the ordered walk command in place to close#471, delete the replay pipelines/shaders, and advance prepared content to recipe 9.

Keep retained caster/material/terrain topology stable across visibility-only frames. Publish exact arbitrary active instance runs and bounded terrain commands through separate selection sequences; preserve transform-journal, fade/retry, deferral, shader/RHI, ordinary world, and pack-off behavior. Amend IA-24 and the S5 ledger.

Publish the exact completed walk landscape set as the typed retained particle-view product. Apply retail CLandCell membership versus constant-true non-null CEnvCell eligibility while preserving the x87 distance and AP-116 behavior.
Delete the null-root terrain visibility reconstruction and the dead drawable-cell point-light feedback chain. Retire AP-117, correct AP-85 and AD-21, and keep directional shadows, building degrade, AP-232, probes, RHI, shaders, and DAT outside this chunk.
Automated return: Release 0 warnings/0 errors; Core VFX 111/111; App particle/frame/renderer/terrain 146/146; warmed production allocation 1/1 at 0 B. First official hermetic artifact s5-c1-hermetic-20260904 is preserved at 16759/16760 with only the stale 162-row assertion; after the bounded 161 correction, exact pin 1/1 and fresh s5-c1-hermetic-corrected-20260904 16760/16760. InstalledDat 385 pass, 10 documented failures, 1 documented skip, no new identity.

Remove the dead classic-group CachedBatch/InstanceGroup sort-center sidecar and its cache, append, reset, and diagnostic-digest plumbing. Remove the discarded camera parameter chain from grouped alpha deferral and dispatcher submission diagnostics while preserving walk/particle CYpt keys, FIFO submission ordinals, and opaque camera distance.
Add production-facing reflection/source pins for the deleted shapes and camera chain, retained per-cell and opaque owners, the exact three AlphaFlushCounts reasons, and deleted alpha-order symbols. Update directly affected cache/digest/group lifecycle tests and record the complete section 22 result.

Retain the GfxObj-authored SortCenter independently from the rendered AABB center and use its scaled, oriented world point for billboard/mode-2-5 CYpt. Keep the visual center unchanged.
Reserve prepared source payload only at Append, roll back the exact tail once on false or exception, cap retained preparation at 3000 CLIP plus 3000 ALPHA, preserve immediate duplicates, account the bounded scratch, and correct the static-record ordering comment. The lead-authorized plan edit records candidate 44e2bc227b's retail FAIL and this section 19 result.
Gates: Release solution build 0 warnings/0 errors; focused particle/driver/queue/order/bounds 95/95; register boundary/count 1/1; real allocations 2/2 at 0 B; shader/manifest 32/32; one-shot hermetic 16751/16751; InstalledDat 385 pass/10 documented fail/1 skip; diff-check pass. No graphical client.
Mutations: rendered pos first failed distance expected 40 actual 116; AABB center expected 40 actual 116; dropped size expected 40 actual 65; dropped orientation expected 40 actual 160; eager reservation first failed Assert.Empty with one payload; omitted false rollback first failed Assert.Single with two payloads; omitted exception rollback first failed Assert.Empty with one payload; removed caps first failed prepared count expected 6000 actual 6002.
Evidence note: the first ordinary InstalledDat filter produced 385 pass/2 expected fail/1 skip but excluded the eight required KnownFailure rows; the separate inclusive no-retry artifact produced the exact documented 10-failure set. Initial test fixture compilation/analyzer setup failures are recorded in packet section 19.5.

Reconstruct one combined static/dynamic object-part stream for each ordinary outdoor or interior cell, compute authored SortCenter CYpt keys, and stable-sort far to near before projecting opaque and delayed subsets. Prepare real cell-particle records at the leaf, preserve every S4-c2 router outcome, and merge object and particle delayed records by retained key before either source appends to the unchanged CLIP/ALPHA FIFO lists. Cell turns remain cell-major; equal cross-source ties are deterministically object-first.
File AP-241 and AP-242 for the remaining separate opaque/row-5 channels and unrepresented equal-key common ordinal. File AP-243 for the paired-binary correction: retail shares the cell CYpt/heading beyond 50 m while this bounded port always uses the more exact authored per-part center. Pin 162 active AP rows and correct world-alpha and AlphaFlushCounts prose.
Lead-approved scope clarification: RetailPViewPassExecutor.WalkLeaf.cs and RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs are the minimum existing production leaf adapter and thin particle-prepare forwarder omitted by the literal Walk/Wb file list. They contain no router, queue, mask, state, depth, or flush behavior; relocating them would create an artificial seam.
Gates: Release solution build 0W/0E; shader/manifest 32/32; focused production 210/210; real allocation 3/3 at 0 B; one-shot hermetic 16743/0/0 across 14 assemblies; InstalledDat 385 pass/10 documented fail/1 skip with all six AlphaFlushSites passing; git diff --check PASS. Initial no-restore solution build failed NETSDK1004 for 42 missing scratch assets; one solution restore preceded the official build.

1. Reverse comparator: authored-center order expected [202,101], actual [101,202].
2. Move ties left: multipart/subset order expected [11,12,21,22], actual [22,21,12,11].
3. Restore static/dynamic blocks: expected [2,3,1], actual [3,1,2].
4. Use entity origin: authored-center order expected [202,101], actual [101,202].
5. Restore particle tail: expected [Wb,Particle,Wb,Particle], actual [Wb,Wb,Particle,Particle].
6. Scope-global sort: first cell model X expected 5, actual 50.
7. Restore dead camera parameter: SubmitWalkAlphaInstance parameter count expected 2, actual 3.
8. Restore stale global-queue prose: exact Assert.DoesNotContain failure on distance-sorts one shared queue.
9. Remove AP-241 identity: Assert.Single found no matching row.
10. Allocate in real merge: expected 0 B, actual 3072 B.

Exclude deferred EnvCell subsets from the opaque turn, preserve exact CLIP/ALPHA fixed-state groups through leaf replay, and use retail's row-3 override, blend, depth, and texture-class alpha references. Keep the existing building-detail sentinel distinct from the two CLIP references.
Bound rejected source payload, replace no-op allocation proofs with actual EnvCell and particle RHI paths, rebuild checked-in SPIR-V, and correct AP-238/AP-240 plus the S4-c2 evidence record.

The evidence/comment repair re-ran Release 0W/0E, shaders 32/32, affected 37/37, and allocation 2/2; mesh_detail.vert.spv remained byte-identical at SHA-256 5346247ab7d606046943e19b28888c814e08dc6cb27cd9750096ac055457eb57.
Mutation proof, with each mutation restored after its named first failure:
1. Restoring the opaque predicate to !IsAdditive fails WholeLeaf_MixedCellDrawsOpaqueAtTurnThenClipAndAlphaAtDrain first at draw count: expected 1, actual 3.
2. Selecting _alphaPipeline for CLIP fails WholeLeaf_ClipDrainBindsExactStateAndTextureClassReference first at the bind sequence: expected [envcell-clip], actual [envcell-alpha].
3. Disabling CLIP depth write fails that production Theory first at Assert.True(clipPipeline.Depth.Write): expected true, actual false.
4. Swapping palette/DDS references fails the DDS row first: expected 0.784313738, actual 0.392156869; the palette row reports the inverse.
5. Mutating mesh_modern.frag from < to <= fails ClipShaders_UseGreaterEqualForThePerRangeReference first at Assert.Contains("if (color.a < alphaCutoff) discard;"): the required source spelling is absent.
6. Restoring row-3 OverrideClipmap=true fails the real-interface clip Theory first at Assert.False: expected false, actual true.
7. Deleting failed-append rollback fails the flush/end/abort rejection-storm rows first at the bounded pending-count assertion: expected 0, actual 9000.
8. Selecting _transparentDetailPipeline for a ClipMap detail contribution fails the leaf detail pin first at the bind sequence: expected second bind envcell-retail-detail-clip, actual envcell-retail-detail-alpha.
9. Resetting detail ParamB to zero fails the same detail pin first at the second pushed reference: expected 0.784313738, actual 0.
10. Classifying CLIP with exact mask equality excludes legal 0x09 and fails WholeLeaf_PositiveStippleClipMaskUsesClipPipelineAndDdsReference first at pipeline: expected envcell-clip, actual envcell-alpha.
11. Mapping the new blend to SRC_ALPHA/INVSRCALPHA fails AllRetailBlendModesAreRepresentable first at the tuple: expected (One, OneMinusSrcAlpha), actual (SrcAlpha, OneMinusSrcAlpha).
12. Restoring mesh_detail.vert's uParamB > 0.5 category predicate fails ClipShaders_UseGreaterEqualForThePerRangeReference first because vDetailCategory = uParamB == 1.0 is absent.
13. Treating every positive detail uParamB as a cutoff fails that source pin first because isRetailClipReference(uParamB) ? uParamB : 0.05 is absent.
14. Adding arbitrary 0.5 as an accepted reference to either mesh_modern.frag or mesh_detail.frag fails that source pin first at Assert.DoesNotContain("value - 0.5"); both mutations were run and reversed independently.
Retail: D3DPolyRender::SetSurface @ 0x0059c4d0; paired binary @ 0x0059c72a, 0x0059c747/0x0059c74f, 0x0059c821, 0x0059c838, 0x0059c866.
Final allowed fix round for S4-c2 on cc8e5677a. This lands every item in
the campaign packet section 12 without adding a flush site, shader, distance,
overflow recovery draw, or graphical-client run.
R2-1 particle row 5: ParticleRenderer now constructs and owns the actual
particle-mesh-opaque pipeline using the existing particle_mesh shaders and
layout, Blend=None, depth test/write enabled with WorldCompare, dynamic
per-batch cull, clockwise front face, and no alpha-to-coverage. The production
dispatch selects it for an opaque-classified mesh particle whose clamped
material alpha is 1.0. Nonopaque mesh pipelines remain depth-write-off. The
production route keeps cached reserve/immediate delegates and the warmed
append/immediate paths allocate 0 B.
R2-2 EnvCell exact per-subset routing: ObjectMeshManager carries Content's
TextureBatchData.RetailSurfaceMask onto ObjectRenderBatch at the real upload
boundary. EnvCellRenderer scans the active prepared cell snapshot and feeds
each real transparent batch's exact mask through RetailAlphaMeshRouter. Pure
0x08 Base1ClipMap reaches CLIP, 0x02 alpha-family reaches ALPHA, and table
Immediate subsets draw at the cell turn. Separate fixed-route draw sources
coalesce to at most one token per (cell,list) and filtered replay draws only
that list's subsets; a mixed cell contributes to both lists without duplicate
replay. Detail-on routes eligible subsets immediately with the detail pass.
The warmed dispatch/source allocation pins measure 0 B; the production scan/filter is covered behaviorally and uses only retained scratch/enumerators (static allocation audit).
R2-3 capacity cleanup: RetailAlphaQueue registers a source before the 3,000
entry capacity return. A source whose first append is rejected is therefore
reset by flush, EndFrame, or abort, but its rejected payload is never prepared
or drawn.
R2-4 production proof and prose: both actual Wb submit sites are exercised;
the particle tests call the production dispatcher and inspect the constructed
owner's production pipeline/selector; EnvCell tests upload real Content batch
masks through ObjectMeshManager and drain real filtered MDI calls. The A1
positive proof executes WorldSceneRenderer's real outdoor frame owner through
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawInside and RetailAlphaQueue.EndFrame and observes
[DrawBuilding x N, RenderNormalMode] with no LandscapeFlush. The packet and
register now state the varying retail first-for-list truth and the exact
per-subset EnvCell/AP-238, visible AP-239 compositing, and AP-240 feeder scope.
Physical active register counts remain AP=159 and AD=92.

Production mutation checks (each applied, run to the named first failure, and
exactly reversed before the final gates):
1. Restoring the particle row-5 throw fails
OpaqueClassifiedMeshBatch_WithNoMaterialAlpha_DrawsImmediateOnOpaqueDepthState
first with InvalidOperationException: mutation: row 5 unreachable.
2. Deleting row 5's immediate callback fails that same production-dispatch
test's first collection assertion: expected [(Mesh, 11, True)], actual [].
3. Constructing the actual owner pipeline with depthWrite:false fails
ImmediateOpaqueMesh_UsesProductionParticleMeshOpaquePipelineDescription
first at Assert.True(description.Depth.Write): expected true, actual false.
4. Mapping the production selector back to _meshAlphaPipeline fails that same
test first at Assert.Same: expected particle-mesh-opaque, actual
particle-mesh-alpha.
5. Dropping RetailSurfaceMask at the real ObjectMeshManager upload boundary
fails the mixed-cell production scan first: expected Clip | Alpha, actual
Immediate.
6. Hardcoding the uploaded EnvCell scan to MaskAlphaFamily fails the mixed-cell
production scan first: expected Clip | Alpha, actual Alpha; the pure-mask
pin also reports expected Clip, actual Alpha.
7. Inverting the production detail predicate fails the detail-on production
pin first: expected Immediate, actual Clip.
8. Removing both EnvCell replay filters fails the mixed production drain's real
MDI assertions: each call expected DrawCount 1, actual DrawCount 2.
9. Moving RegisterSource below the full-capacity return fails every
RejectedFirstUseSource_IsCleanedWithoutPrepareOrDraw row (flush, EndFrame,
abort) at the first ResetCount assertion: expected 1, actual 0.
10. Hardcoding detailSurfaceActive=false at the real Wb dispatch fails both
production submit-site tests at their first queue-count assertion:
expected 0, actual 1.
11. Restoring RetailPViewRenderer's removed outdoor LandscapeFlush call fails
OutdoorProductionPView_DrainsBuildingThenRenderNormalModeWithoutLandscapeFlush
first at the real drain sequence: expected [DrawBuilding,
RenderNormalMode], actual [DrawBuilding, LandscapeFlush,
RenderNormalMode].
12. Deleting WorldSceneRenderer's final EndFrame owner drain fails that same
full-path A1 test first: expected [DrawBuilding, RenderNormalMode], actual
[DrawBuilding].

Fix round 1 of the two the plan allows for S4-c2 (048d5b12f), addressing
every item M1-M8/A1-A8 from the campaign branch's packet section 11.
M1 (BLOCKING): ParticleRenderer.DeferToRetailAlphaQueue threw whenever a
mesh-particle batch's TranslucencyKind.Opaque classification (mask 0x00)
reached a non-Append DrawMesh row - a real, reachable outcome since
TryAppendMeshDraws applies no IsOpaque-style pre-filter unlike
WbDrawDispatcher's path. Deleted both throws (ParticleRenderer.cs,
WbDrawDispatcher.cs SubmitToAlphaQueue), extracted the router-input
derivation into internal static ParticleRenderer.RouteParticleSubmission
(directly testable), and implemented rows 1/5's immediate draw by reusing
the existing per-instance billboard/mesh draw code (new
DrawImmediateParticleSubmissionRhi, no new renderer, no sort per A8).
materialHasAlpha (row 4) is derived from CMaterial::CheckAlphaValues
@0x005396a0 (Ghidra-verified 2026-09-04): has_alpha=0 only when
Ambient.a==Diffuse.a==Specular.a==Emissive.a==1.0f, else 1 - and
CMaterial::SetTranslucencySimple @0x005396f0 (reached from
CPhysicsPart::SetTranslucency <- Particle::Update @0x0051c290's per-frame
alpha-fade) sets all four channels to (1f - translucency) uniformly, so
has_alpha == "this particle's current alpha isn't 1.0" - already carried in
ColorArgb's top byte (Lerp(StartAlpha,EndAlpha,tLife), ParticleSystem.cs
1039-1041/1453).
M3: SubmitToAlphaQueue now takes isBuildingShell + viewProjection and feeds
Row 1's detailSurfaceActive gate for translucent building-shell instances
(retail DrawBuilding @0x0059f2a0 installs building detail before its own
shell subsets reach DrawMesh). Row 1 (detail on) draws the instance
immediately at its own walk-stream AlphaSubmitMark via new
DrawImmediateAlphaInstance/DrawImmediateAlphaInstanceRhi (reusing
WriteDeferredAlphaEntrySlot + the drain's pipeline/detail code for slot 0);
never touches _deferredAlpha/the queue for pure-Immediate submissions (fixes
a latent leak: previously reserving a _deferredAlpha slot for every
candidate meant a frame with ALL-immediate content never registered a
source, so ResetAlphaSubmissions never ran). M3c: DrawPreparedAlphaBatchRhi's
own per-command hasDetail/DrawBuildingDetailRangeRhi branch is deleted -
detail-eligible content no longer reaches the drain (spec: delayed replay
is always detailEnabled=0). New AD-120 register row for the "in place -> at
the entity's own stream mark" granularity adaptation this introduces.
M6: RetailPViewPassExecutor.SubmitOrDrawTransparentCellShell routes an
EnvCell's transparent shell through the SAME RetailAlphaMeshRouter table
(mask 0x02, detailSurfaceActive = EnvCellRenderer.TransparentDetailEnabled)
instead of a hand-coded branch. Detail on: unchanged immediate draw. Detail
off: appends ONE token per CELL via new EnvCellAlphaDrawSource (internal,
delegate-based so it's unit-testable without a GPU harness), replayed
through EnvCellRenderer.RenderTransparentOrdered at the next flush -
RenderTransparentOrdered already replayed a cell's batch on demand, so no
new deferred-replay abstraction was needed (the original landing's claim
that one was required is corrected in the packet).
M4: RetailAlphaEntry.IsFirstForList deleted. Retail's per-DrawMesh-
invocation "first for this list" flag is trivially true for every subset
retail ever appends (DrawMesh @0x0059d4a0 sets both flags true at entry,
0059d4cc/0059d4d0, clearing each independently after ITS OWN first append
within that call, 0059d5ef) - the captures confirm it (new=1 on 9,685/10,556
AM lines, impossible under "first since last drain"). acdream's deleted
isFirstForList = target.Count == 0 computed the wrong quantifier. One
acdream append already IS one DrawMesh call, so the field carried no
information and its own pin was vacuous (feedback_every_new_pin_must_be_
shown_to_fail) - deleted rather than kept as an always-true no-op.
M5: split all six AlphaFlushTranscript_* KnownFailure Facts into live
AlphaFlushSites_* (site+threshold sequence only, content-independent,
unconditional pass) and AlphaFlushCounts_* (KnownFailure, full tuple incl.
drained counts) sharing one RunAlphaFlushTranscriptReplay helper. Rewrote
the KnownFailure reason honestly: THREE independent causes, not "harness
content only" - (1) zero live mesh content, (2) acdream appends one entry
per INSTANCE vs retail's one per SUBSET per DrawMesh call, (3) acdream's
CLIP list is structurally empty for ordinary content (M2). Added ONE live
valve pin (WalkFrameDriverTests.SortCellExit_ValveDrainsThroughReplayAtThe
ExactBoundary, a Theory over 2250/2249) that goes through WalkFrameDriver.
Replay's own SortCellExit arm, not RetailAlphaQueue.Flush called directly.
M2/A2/M8c (register): ~~AP-34~~ restored as struck-through RETIRED (it had
been deleted outright, not struck, breaking the register's own convention)
citing residuals AP-238/AP-239/AP-240. The chunk-2 commit's "AP-236"/
"AP-237" collided with an id ALREADY filed-and-retired on main by an
unrelated #132 fix (docs/ISSUES.md:19976) - ids are never reused, so both
are renumbered: AP-236->AP-238 (EnvCell; rewritten per M6 - granularity-only
residual now, "never through the shared queue" is retired), AP-237->AP-239
(mask-reconstruction gap; the dangling "AP-236b" citation in
RetailAlphaMeshRouter.cs never matched either filed id and is corrected to
AP-239). New AP-240 filed for M2: WbDrawDispatcher.IsOpaque filters
ClipMap out upstream, so ordinary clip-mapped content never reaches
retail's CLIP FIFO (draws immediately on the pre-existing
OpaqueAlphaToCoverage pipeline instead) - no pipeline change this round,
per the contract. AP section header recounted honestly: 159 active (was
stale at 161); AD section 92 (was 91, +AD-120).
M7: AP-239's only cited example (cloud GfxObj 0x01004C35, surface
0x08000023) is DISPROVEN - decoded Type=0x10114 has alpha-family bits
that win in BOTH retail's real priority and acdream's reconstruction, so it
never actually diverges. A 2026-09-04 scan of all 6,152 Portal-dat Surfaces
found 27 real Translucent+Base1ClipMap-no-alpha-family instances
(Type=0x14); cross-referencing GfxObjs found surface 0x08000015 on GfxObj
0x010001EC - cited in place of the disproven cloud example.
M8: (a) RenderDeviceD3D::DrawBlock is @0x005a17c0 per symbols.json, not
@0x005a18d0 (that is its per-land-cell loop head) - fixed across
RetailAlphaQueue.cs, RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs, WalkEvents.cs,
WalkFrameDriver.cs (x3), RetailFrameWalk.cs. (b) RetailAlphaQueue.cs's four
FlushAlphaList addresses were labelled "return site" but are the CALL
instruction's own address (x86 CALL rel32 is 5 bytes) - relabelled "call at
X (returns to X+5)". (d) worldbuilder-inventory.md:420's AP-34 citation
updated.
A1: RetailPViewRenderer.cs's outdoor-root passes.FlushLandscapeAlpha() call
(labelled LandscapeFlush) is deleted - retail's real LandscapeFlush
(PView::DrawCells @0x005a4840's own FlushAlphaList(0f) @0x005a4872) sits
strictly inside if (outside_view.view_count > 0) on the INTERIOR PView; an
outdoor root never reaches it (terrace-edge capture: zero 005a4877 FL
lines). Verified no opaque draw intervenes between this deletion point and
RetailAlphaQueue.EndFrame()'s own RenderNormalMode pass-end flush
(WorldSceneRenderer.cs: DrawPostWorldParticles's PView branch is an
explicit no-op; only diagnostic wireframes follow) - #132's "drain after
the finished opaque world" invariant is kept by that flush alone.
A4: RetailAlphaQueue's ApplyScratchRetention call sites passed the ENTRY
count as the SOURCE-count argument too (observedClip + observedAlpha
twice), so _sources/_sourceDrawOffsets never shrank toward the real source
count. Fixed to capture _sources.Count before Clear().
A5/A6/A7: WalkStaticStreamPopulatorTests.cs's stale "same viewer distance"
banner corrected; two off-by-one entry counts in the packet's section 10
sequences corrected (foundry-deep x10->x11, holtburg-doorway-still x5->x6);
WalkAlphaDepthTrace.cs's "new=" comment explains why IsNew is retained but
never compared (M4's finding makes a per-subset comparison meaningless at
acdream's per-instance granularity); RetailAlphaMeshRouterTests.cs's
IndependentReferenceRoute (never actually independently-shaped) renamed to
RestatedBranchTableRoute with an honest doc comment, and the unverified
"flipped in turn and failed every time" claim deleted.
A3 was resolved as a side effect of M1's SubmitToAlphaQueue doc-comment
rewrite (the wrong "0x02/0x03, 0x04/0x05, 0x08/0x09" enumeration no longer
exists); RetailAlphaMeshRouter.cs's own MaskFromTranslucencyKind comment
updated in the same spirit (M1's particle-site Opaque-reachability finding).
Mutation checks (each applied to a scratch-restored copy, confirmed
failing, then byte-exact reverted - diffed against a /tmp backup after
restore):
- A1 (RetailPViewRendererTests.DrawInside_NeverCallsFlushLandscapeAlphaDirectly):
restoring the deleted "if (ctx.RootCell.IsOutdoorNode)
passes.FlushLandscapeAlpha();" line reintroduces a direct
RetailPViewPassExecutor.FlushLandscapeAlpha call in DrawInside's compiled
body. Actual failure: "Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Filter matched in
collection ... CompiledCall { ... Target = Void FlushLandscapeAlpha() }".
- A4 (RetailAlphaQueueTests.RetainedSourceCapacity_ConvergesToTheReal
SourceCountNotTheEntryCount): reverting both ApplyScratchRetention calls
to (observedClip + observedAlpha, observedClip + observedAlpha) - with
100 distinct sources in the spike frame (so _sources.Capacity grows to
128, past its initial 4) followed by three low-demand frames of 10
entries via ONE repeated source - makes sourceTarget compute from 10
(Math.Max(4,10*2)=20) instead of 1 (Math.Max(4,1*2)=4). Actual failure:
"Expected the retained source-array capacity to converge toward the real
source count (1), but it stayed at 20". (A single-source-only spike does
NOT discriminate this bug - Math.Min(sourceTarget, _sources.Capacity)
clamps both formulas to the same unchanged initial 4 - hence the
100-source setup.)
- M5 valve (WalkFrameDriverTests.SortCellExit_ValveDrainsThroughReplayAt
TheExactBoundary, 2250 case): flipping RetailAlphaQueue.Flush's no-op
comparison from "<" to "<=" (S4-c1/c2's own boundary mutation) makes the
2250-entries case a no-op instead of draining. Actual failure:
"Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ Expected: 0 Actual: 2250".
- M6 (EnvCellAlphaDrawSourceTests, both Facts): adding an immediate
renderTransparentOrdered(new[]{cellId}) call inside
EnvCellAlphaDrawSource.AddPendingCellId (simulating the M1/M3 "drew
immediately instead of deferring" bug class) makes
PendingCellToken_IsDrainedAtTheFlushAndNeverBeforeIt fail with
"Assert.Empty() Failure: Collection was not empty Collection: [[4660]]"
and ParticleAppendedBetweenTwoCellTokens_KeepsItsPositionInTheCombined
Drain fail with 'Expected: string[] ["cell:256", "particle:7",
"cell:512"] Actual: List<string> ["cell:256", "cell:512", "cell:256",
"particle:7", "cell:512"]'.
- M1 (ParticleRendererRouteTests.OpaqueClassifiedMeshBatch_WithMaterialAlpha
_RoutesToAlphaAppend): hardcoding materialHasAlpha to false inside
RouteParticleSubmission makes the Opaque-mask+has-alpha case route
Immediate instead of Append. Actual failure: "Assert.Equal() Failure:
Values differ Expected: Append Actual: Immediate".

Replaces the single scope-global distance-sorted RetailAlphaQueue with
retail's own two independent FIFO lists (CLIP/ALPHA, capacity 3000 each,
D3DPolyRender::AddMeshToAlphaList's exact append-only/capacity-drop
behavior — Ghidra-verified 2026-09-04), routed by a new
RetailAlphaMeshRouter porting DrawMesh's five-row immediate/delayed
branch table and ConstructMesh's subset-mask formula as pure functions,
and drained at retail's four normal-world FlushAlphaList sites
(DrawBuilding/DrawBlock/PView::DrawCells/RenderNormalMode) under the
exact Ghidra-verified no-op predicate (both counts strictly below
threshold*3000). A new WalkFrameEventKind.SortCellExit /
IWalkEventSink.OnSortCellExit / IWalkFrameLeafRenderer.FlushSortCellExit
fires once per admitted land-block cell for DrawBlock's 0.75f valve,
pinned by a dedicated far/near ordering test in RetailFrameWalkTests.cs.
WbDrawDispatcher's two submit sites and ParticleRenderer's one route
through the router; since none of the three ever draws during the Sky
leaf, installs a detail surface, or sets MultiPassAlpha, rows 1/2/4/5
are provably unreachable there and the call sites assert loudly rather
than building unexercisable immediate-draw plumbing. FlushFartherThan,
RetailAlphaOrdering.ComputeViewerDistance, and every viewerDistance
argument on the submit path are deleted.
Scope note (packet s4-depth-alpha-packet.md §10): C4 (routing EnvCell's
transparent shell batches through the shared queue) was not attempted —
EnvCell draws one per-cell MultiDrawIndexedIndirect call with no
per-subset deferred-replay abstraction, and building one without visual
verification (no graphical client in this worktree) was judged out of
this bounded chunk's scope. AP-34 is therefore retired and replaced by
two narrower rows rather than deleted outright: AP-236 (the carried-
forward EnvCell-immediate residual) and AP-237 (a newly identified gap:
TranslucencyKind.AlphaBlend can arise from either retail's Alpha/
Translucent bits, mask 0x02/ALPHA, or the Translucent+ClipMap "cloud"
override, mask 0x08/CLIP — GroupKey doesn't retain the raw bit to tell
them apart, so the router always picks ALPHA; only known example is
cloud GfxObj 0x01004C35). Both are compositing-order-only divergences,
never blend/visual ones.
Mutation checks (each applied, confirmed failing, then reverted):
- FIFO drain order reversed -> 5 RetailAlphaQueueTests fail (order).
- FlushAlphaList `<` -> `<=` -> boundary/scratch tests fail (2250 case
reads drained=0 instead of 2250).
- Capacity check loosened (3000 -> 6000) -> overflow-drop test fails
(TryAppend returns true, PendingCount reads 3001).
- IsFirstForList forced true -> flag test fails once inspected on the
pre-flush two-entry snapshot (the post-flush single-survivor version
of this test was vacuous and rewritten).
- Router row 3 condition inverted -> both the hand-traced Theory (6
cases) and the 160-cell independent-truth-table brute force fail (20
mismatches).
- SortCellExit emitted before OnLandscapeCellTurn instead of after ->
RetailFrameWalkTests ordering pin fails ("SCX must immediately follow
its own cell's SC").
- Prepare-per-list instead of prepare-once-combined -> the CLIP/ALPHA
boundary batching test throws (index out of range).
Gates: Release build 0 warnings/0 errors. Hermetic lane (Lane!=Installed
Dat&...&Status!=KnownFailure) 6855/6855 passed. InstalledDat lane 249
passed / 10 failed — exactly the 4 pre-existing failures (#383 x2
LayoutImporter, TowerAscent KnownFailure, #458 Oh_doorway_still
KnownFailure) plus 6 NEW KnownFailure Facts
(AlphaFlushTranscript_*_MatchesRetailFrame2, one per capture) extending
this gate from PM/PC to AM/FL: the flush SITE+THRESHOLD sequence matches
the capture exactly for all six poses (including zero SortCellExit
drains in every capture, confirming the 0.75 valve is inert at these
scene complexities in both retail and this replay); the drained-COUNT-
per-list dimension diverges because this hermetic harness (matching the
existing PM/PC gate's own EmptyAlphaDepthWorldData design) carries no
live GfxObj/particle content, so every observed count reads (0,0)
against retail's real per-frame volume — both sequences quoted in full
per pose in the packet's new §10. Shader classes (VulkanShaderDescriptor
ContractTests/VulkanShaderManifestTests/RenderPackSpirvValidatorTests)
32/32 passed.

Round 2 (9ba8f013e) passed the retail and production lenses and every gate
and mutation was reproduced by all three; the gate-honesty lens failed it
on comment truth only: the terrace-edge Fact repeated round 1's false
'PC already matched' sentence, the sixth Fact claimed a 12/4 guard split
and a preamble seed the gate does not evaluate, and WalkVisibilityMath's
scan note cited a pin that does not exist and a callers argument that
was not the real justification. A third implementer round is barred by
the campaign rule, so the lead corrected the sentences at landing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 1 (2bd353234) was three-lens reviewed: retail-faithful PASS,
production PASS, gate-honesty FAIL. Every finding landed on the
terrace-edge KnownFailure row plus one pin gap. This is the last round.
R2-1 - gate honesty. WalkTraceConformanceTests.AlphaDepthTranscript.cs's
own KnownFailure doc comment claimed "the PC sequence matches exactly";
it never did - Assert.Equal(expected.PmEvents, actualPm) threw first, so
the PC Assert.Equal line never ran. RunAlphaDepthTranscriptGate now
computes BOTH diffs (SequenceEqual, not Assert.Equal) before asserting
either, and Assert.Fail's message prints both sequences together
whenever either diverges - a written claim about one sequence is now
only ever one this method actually evaluated. Re-running the OLD
(unseeded, cold PortalsDrawnCount=0) code path through this new combined
assertion shows terrace-edge's real divergence was WORSE than round 1
believed: both PM and PC diverged (PC expected counter=2, actual
counter=0) - round 1's "PC matches" claim was not just untested, it was
false.
R2-2 - the harness fix. Retail's portalsDrawnCount (wo(008719b4)) is a
PERSISTENT session global; each capture's own FIRST PM or PC line
(cathedral-arrival 0, cathedral-leak 0, foundry-deep 1,
holtburg-doorway-still 2, terrace-edge 2, cathedral-stair-arch 8) already
carries the pre-capture value - terrace-edge's own sample sits in the
"F 1" preamble text a cdb session prints before the first parsed frame
marker (line 1209, ahead of "F 1" at line 1298), so no amount of
replaying the CAPTURED frames from a cold start can ever reach it (this
fixture's own turns never touch the counter - every PC line reads
ov=0). New WalkAlphaDepthTrace.LoadInitialCounter(root, fixtureName)
scans a fixture's raw lines, ignoring frame boundaries, for the first
PM/PC match and returns its counter. RunAlphaDepthTranscriptGate seeds
WalkFrameDriver.PortalsDrawnCount (already an internal, test-assembly-
settable field) from this value, runs ONE Collect+Replay pass, and
deletes the two-pass "priming" replay outright. Result: terrace-edge
turns GREEN with no KnownFailure tag; every other pose stays exact
(a fixture with real steady-state seal activity computes the identical
value a priming pass used to converge to, since a steady state is by
definition unchanged by one more pass). No pose diverges after seeding,
so the packet's "write the divergence into section 9" fallback never
triggers - nothing needed there this round.
R2-3 - the SOME-vs-SAME-plane discriminator. T2's existing five cases
never separated retail's real quantifier ("every vertex lies on the SAME
one of the four +/-12 planes") from a weaker "every vertex lies on SOME
plane" (per-vertex OR across the four planes, ANDed across vertices) -
the existing split-plane case's third vertex sits on NO plane at all, so
both readings admit it for the same reason. New case in
WalkVisibilityMathTests.cs
(Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_every_vertex_is_on_SOME_plane_but_not_the_SAME_one)
and a fourth sink.OnPunchGeometry call in WalkFrameDriverTests.cs's
OnPunchGeometry_RejectsOnlyWhenEveryVertexSharesOnePlane_ButPunchesAnyOtherShape
pin close the gap: [(12,0,3),(0,12,3),(12,5,3)] - every vertex touches
SOME plane (vertex1/3 on x=+12, vertex2 on y=+12) but no SINGLE plane
holds all three (x=+12 cleared by vertex2's x=0, y=+12 cleared by
vertex1's y=0) - retail's real four-accumulator guard admits it; the
weaker per-vertex-OR form rejects it.
R2-4 - the sixth pose. Cherry-picked 4f12cd06b (walk+alphadepth capture)
and 3a6aa7eef (pmverts capture) from claude/campaign-w-retail-frame-walk
onto 2bd353234 - both applied clean, no conflicts (README.md merged
without a manual row). New
AlphaDepthTranscript_CathedralStairArch_MatchesRetailFrame2 Fact: root
0xF4180114, seven outside views, sixteen mode=1 building punches (all
counterBefore=0008 - far-Z punches never touch the counter) of which
twelve are guard-rejected on local y=12.000, then eight mode=0 exit
seals with counterBefore running 0..7 against the root's own ov=7
read-then-zero, settling this fixture's own steady-state counter at 8 -
exactly the value LoadInitialCounter reads back out of its own preamble.
PASS.
R2-5 - comment truth. (a) RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs:
DrawPortalDepthWrite's and DrawExitPortalMask's summaries corrected -
neither the retired ">=3 vertices" pre-filter nor "always matches what
reached the GPU" describe F2's actual count-before-clip behavior any
more. (b) The F2 pin's doc comment
(RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawExitPortalMask_CountsAnUnclippableTwoVertexPolygon_ButDrawsNothing)
named TWO alternative mutations as if both failed; verified only one
does (see mutations below) - the doc comment now says so explicitly and
keeps only the pre-filter mutation. (c) WalkVisibilityMath.cs's doc
comment stated DAT-scan figures as bare facts; independently re-verified
this round with a freshly-written scan (own code, walking the same
production EnvCell.CellPortals/CellStruct.Polygons shape
WalkCellFactory itself uses, over the full 0x0000-0xFFFF landblock-prefix
range) - every cited figure reproduced bit-exact (3,405 landblocks with
cells; 1,854,237 portal polygons; 2,889 any-vertex; 2,163 all-on-plane,
all exit, 0 interior; 16,939 exit portals total, 1,837,298 interior) -
so the doc comment now states the counting rule (id range, what's
counted, how unresolvable polygons/cells are skipped) alongside every
figure instead of leaving them unqualified; landblocksWithCells=3,405
also independently matches CellStructSurfaceConstructionInstalledDatTests'
own OH2 walk of the identical range (that test's own golden-count
comment). The scratch scan itself is not part of this diff (deleted
after use, same as F1's own datScan). (d) This commit body does not
cite "register tests" as evidence - no test reads the register.
Register truth is the human read: no row changes, AD-119 (the C2
blend-vs-write-mask row) unchanged.
Mutations run this round (all verified against production code, then
reverted):
- R2-1/R2-2 (disable seeding, driver.PortalsDrawnCount = 0 instead of
initialCounter): AlphaDepthTranscript_TerraceEdge_MatchesRetailFrame2
fails - "terrace-edge.alphadepth: PM DIVERGES - expected
[(mode=1,counterBefore=2), (mode=1,counterBefore=2)], actual
[(mode=1,counterBefore=0), (mode=1,counterBefore=0)]; PC DIVERGES -
expected [(ov=0,counter=2,fc=0), (ov=0,counter=2,fc=0)], actual
[(ov=0,counter=0,fc=0), (ov=0,counter=0,fc=0)]" - proving both the
seeding fix (R2-2) and the honest dual-sequence message (R2-1) at
once.
- R2-3 (replace the four per-plane accumulators with a single
per-vertex "on ANY plane" test ANDed across vertices):
Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_every_vertex_is_on_SOME_plane_but_not_the_SAME_one
fails, Assert.False() Expected:False Actual:True;
OnPunchGeometry_RejectsOnlyWhenEveryVertexSharesOnePlane_ButPunchesAnyOtherShape
fails, Assert.Equal() Expected:3 Actual:2.
- R2-5b, mutation ONE (restore the old `localVertices.Length < 3`
pre-filter ahead of the guard):
DrawExitPortalMask_CountsAnUnclippableTwoVertexPolygon_ButDrawsNothing
fails, Assert.Equal() Expected:1 Actual:0 - kept as the pin's cited
mutation.
- R2-5b, mutation TWO (move `submitted++` to AFTER
`_portalDepthMask.DrawDepthFan(...)` instead of before): same test
STILL PASSES - DrawDepthFan has no effect on the local `submitted`
counter, so the final returned value is identical regardless of
which side of that call the increment sits on. Confirmed unobservable
exactly as R2-5b required; the doc comment no longer names this as a
failing mutation.

Three-lens review of c7ab5b6d8 found the round-0 port of
DrawPortalPolyInternal's degenerate-input guard inverted retail's
quantifier: it rejected a polygon when ANY vertex sat on ANY of the
four +/-12 planes. The PDB-paired bytes (VA 0x59BCD6-0x59BD66: four
per-plane fld/fcomp 12.0/fnstsw/test ah,0x44/jnp sequences, each
accumulating a "every vertex on this plane" boolean, cleared by the
first vertex NOT on it) and the named decomp's own nested-if reading
of the post-loop branch (0x59bd42-0x59bd6c) agree: retail rejects only
when EVERY local vertex lies on the SAME one of the four planes — a
polygon degenerate onto a plane, not one that merely touches a plane
at one vertex.
F1 — the quantifier. WalkVisibilityMath.IsRejectedByPortalPolygonBoundaryGuard
now tracks four booleans (everyVertexOnPlusX/MinusX/PlusY/MinusY), each
starting true and cleared by the first vertex that fails its own plane
test; the guard rejects iff any of the four survives the whole vertex
loop. T2 (WalkVisibilityMathTests.cs) is rewritten to the five §7
cases: every vertex on x=+12 -> rejected; every vertex on y=-12 ->
rejected; one vertex on x=+12, rest inside -> KEPT; every vertex at
11.999 -> kept; vertices split across x=+12 and y=+12 (no common
plane) -> kept. WalkFrameDriverTests' punch-side pin
(OnPunchGeometry_RejectsOnlyWhenEveryVertexSharesOnePlane_ButPunchesAnyOtherShape)
carries the same correction — its old "one vertex on the plane"
polygon was wrongly rejected under round 0; it punches now, and a new
all-on-plane polygon is added as the actual rejected case. The doc
comment's "essentially never" sentence is deleted and replaced with a
fresh DAT-scan citation (see datScan below).
MUTATION (verified): restore the any-vertex form -> the one-vertex and
split-plane admit cases fail (Assert.False Expected:False Actual:True,
x2; the WalkFrameDriverTests punch pin's Assert.Equal Expected:2
Actual:1). Delete the guard (always return false) -> the all-on-plane
reject cases fail (Assert.True Expected:True Actual:False, x3 —
plusX-plane, minusY-plane, and the vacuous-empty-polygon pin; the
punch pin's Assert.Equal Expected:2 Actual:3).
datScan (DAT counts backing F1's doc comment): a throwaway xunit test
(deleted after this commit — not part of the diff) walked the full
0x0000-0xFFFF landblock-prefix space (LandBlockInfo/EnvCell carry no
usable DatCollection.GetAllIdsOfType range — both are landblock-
relative — matching the method CellStructSurfaceConstructionInstalledDatTests
already established), resolved each EnvCell's Environment/CellStruct,
and for every CellPortal's polygon tested each vertex's local x/y
against +/-12. Against the installed client_cell_1.dat: 3,405
landblocks with cells, 1,854,237 total portal polygons. 2,889 polygons
have at least one vertex on a +/-12 plane; 2,163 have EVERY vertex on
the SAME plane — all 2,163 are EXIT portals (OtherCellId==0xFFFF, out
of 16,939 exit portals total); 0 interior (non-exit) portals ever
qualify (interior: 1,837,298 total, 340 any-vertex, 0 all-on-plane).
Duration ~15s. This exactly reproduces the review's cited numbers.
F2 — seal-path count order. RetailPViewPassExecutor's exit-seal loop
dropped the `localVertices.Length < 3` pre-filter that ran BEFORE both
the boundary guard and the `submitted` increment (round 0's order:
length check -> guard -> transform -> draw -> count). Retail's real
order is guard -> transform -> clip -> count, with the counter
incremented BEFORE polyClipFinish runs (0x59BD70-0x59BD74 precedes
0x59BDB0) — the counter records accepted ATTEMPTS, not successful GPU
fans. `submitted++` now runs immediately after the guard-gated
transform+EmitSeamMask, before DrawDepthFan (whose own `< 3` guard is
this port's stand-in for retail's post-clip `var_4 >= 3` check). A new
pin (RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawExitPortalMask_CountsAnUnclippableTwoVertexPolygon_ButDrawsNothing)
constructs a real PortalDepthMaskRenderer (RecordingGpuDevice-backed)
and a constructor-bypassed executor (RuntimeHelpers.GetUninitializedObject,
the same pattern WalkOutsideViewReassemblyTests already uses) with a
2-vertex ordinary-coordinate portal polygon: DrawExitPortalMask returns
submitted=1 while zero draw calls reach the device.
MUTATION (verified): restore the `< 3` pre-filter ahead of the guard
-> the pin's Assert.Equal fails, Expected:1 Actual:0.
F3 — the depth-event transcript gate, automated. New
WalkAlphaDepthTrace.cs (beside WalkOracleTrace.cs) parses the four
`PM poly=<ptr> mode=<0|1> counterBefore=<hex>` / `PC ov=<n>
counter=<hex> fc=<0|1>` lines per oh-capture/*.alphadepth.log frame,
using the same F-marker frame delimiting as WalkOracleTrace. New
WalkTraceConformanceTests.AlphaDepthTranscript.cs (beside
WalkTraceConformanceTests.cs, which is now `partial`) replays each
pose's frame 2 through the real WalkFrameDriver/RetailFrameWalk over
WalkLandscapeDatBuilder-built installed-DAT world data, with:
- AlphaDepthCollectSink: an IWalkEventSink decorator forwarding every
hook to the real driver unchanged, while recording mode=1 punch
events (OnPunchGeometry, counterBefore = driver.PortalsDrawnCount
at COLLECT time — Collect finishes entirely before Replay starts,
so reading the counter at Replay time would already see the SAME
turn's post-reset value; holtburg-doorway-still's own capture
proves this: its punches show counterBefore=2 immediately followed
by its seals' counterBefore=0/1 in the identical turn) and every
PC tuple (Emit, WalkEventKind.DrawCells — fires for the root's own
turn AND every building look-in's re-entrant call, matching
retail's breakpoint not distinguishing them).
- AlphaDepthLeaf: an IWalkFrameLeafRenderer whose DrawExitSeals
reproduces DrawPortalDepthWrite's real per-portal loop (F1's guard,
F2's count-before-clip order) directly over
driver.InteriorFloodCells / WalkCell.Portals / .PortalPolygons —
the identical data the render-side production path reads — since
the interface gives DrawExitSeals no cell/portal parameter at all.
- Two Collect+Replay passes per pose (a fresh driver reaches the SAME
steady-state a running session already carries by the time
retail's capture began — holtburg-doorway-still and foundry-deep
both show a stable per-frame accepted-seal count that regenerates
identically every captured frame): the first pass's own output is
discarded, only the second is compared.
Five Facts (one per pose — the spec's "four" undercounts the five
*.alphadepth.log files actually present in oh-capture/):
AlphaDepthTranscript_CathedralArrival_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
AlphaDepthTranscript_CathedralLeak_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
AlphaDepthTranscript_FoundryDeep_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
AlphaDepthTranscript_HoltburgDoorwayStill_MatchesRetailFrame2 — PASS
(proves the incrementing 0/1/2 accepted-seal sequence AND the
pre-reset counterBefore=2 punches, end to end, against real DAT
portal data)
AlphaDepthTranscript_TerraceEdge_MatchesRetailFrame2 — KnownFailure
(tagged [Trait("Status","KnownFailure")]): terrace-edge never runs
a qualifying interior turn in its own capture (every PC line reads
ov=0) — its punches' counterBefore=2 is a session value carried
over from BEFORE the capture even started (the file's own pre-"F 1"
content already reads 2; nothing inside the captured frames ever
touches the counter). A fresh two-pass replay from
PortalsDrawnCount=0 has no mechanism to derive that leftover value.
Printed divergence: expected [(mode=1,counterBefore=2) x2], actual
[(mode=1,counterBefore=0) x2]; the PC sequence (ov=0 both times)
matches exactly. An initial-condition gap in the fixture, not a
guard/count defect — the identical harness reproduces holtburg-
doorway-still's and foundry-deep's own steady states exactly from
cold starts.
MUTATION (verified): swap AlphaDepthLeaf's recorded seal mode from 0
to 1 -> AlphaDepthTranscript_HoltburgDoorwayStill_MatchesRetailFrame2
fails (Assert.Equal Collections differ at pos 5: expected
(0,0),(0,1)... actual (1,0),(1,1)...).
DispatcherFixture and DrawScope (WalkFrameDriverTests.cs) are widened
from private to internal so the new gate can drive a real
WbDrawDispatcher without duplicating that fixture.
F4 — manifest comment truth. VulkanShaderManifestTests.cs's
portal_depth.vert.spv re-pin comment had the ULP direction backward
(claimed the OLD 0x3F7FFFFE literal was NEARER the camera than
retail's real 0x3F7FFFEF constant; portal_depth.vert's own shader-
source comment already had this correct — FARTHER, larger z/w) and
cited T1 as living in WalkVisibilityMathTests when
PortalDepthVert_FarPunchConstant_MatchesRetailExactBits is in this
same file. Both corrected.

Register: no new AD row. F1/F2 are straight bug fixes toward retail
fidelity (not deviations); AD-119 (the C2 blend-vs-write-mask row)
does not describe the count order, so its neighbour needed no
correction per F2's own instruction.
Deviation from the fix-round spec's literal text: §7 F1 said "swap the
any-vertex hits instead of the four per-plane accumulators" as the
split-plane case's mutation — the code actually ported uses per-vertex
`if (x != 12f) flag = false;` clears, not a per-vertex OR; the mutation
verified above (restore the any-vertex FORM entirely) exercises the
same defect class and is the mutation actually run. §7 also names
"four" alphadepth.log fixtures where five exist on disk
(cathedral-arrival, cathedral-leak, foundry-deep,
holtburg-doorway-still, terrace-edge); all five are gated rather than
four, with cathedral-leak an unremarked addition alongside the four
the spec names.

S4-c1 per docs/research/2026-09-01-overhaul/s4-depth-alpha-packet.md §6.
S3 chunk 2 already landed the persistent portalsDrawnCount latch, the
gated clear, the exit-seal counting, and the look-in isolation — this
chunk covers only what §1/§2 of the packet name as still owed: C0-C3.
C0 — far-punch depth constant (R1: DrawPortalPolyInternal @0x0059bc90's
tail). portal_depth.vert's punch branch carried the decimal 0.99999988,
which reinterprets as bits 0x3F7FFFFE — fifteen ULPs FARTHER from the
camera than retail's real constant, bits 0x3F7FFFEF. Now writes
`uintBitsToFloat(0x3F7FFFEFu)` so the exact bits survive the GLSL/SPIR-V
compiler instead of trusting a decimal literal to round-trip unchanged.
Recompiled via tools/compile-shaders.ps1 (glslc 1.4.350.0 backend
recorded, managed shaderc path used); portal_depth.vert.spv's SHA-256
re-pinned in VulkanShaderManifestTests
(51c60d0924d62c61548efcf5f9e7672a121b1b68ca0a06755e32f1a4d73a8acf,
was 4ac1c452e7ac0d08a32f67fb03f21229af2d1605baa81f407240a3626251dfd7).
T1 (new Fact PortalDepthVert_FarPunchConstant_MatchesRetailExactBits in
VulkanShaderManifestTests.cs): a SOURCE pin — reads portal_depth.vert's
punch line and reinterprets whatever literal it carries (uintBitsToFloat
hex or a plain decimal) as raw bits, asserts == 0x3F7FFFEF. Verified
against the PRE-CHANGE source by hand-reverting the line to
`clipPos.z = clipPos.w * 0.99999988;` and re-running just this test:
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 1065353199
Actual: 1065353214
(1065353199 = 0x3F7FFFEF, 1065353214 = 0x3F7FFFFE). Line restored and
the test re-confirmed green afterward. MUTATION: any other literal fails
the same way.
C1 — the ±12 local-input reject (R2: 0x59BCD6-0x59BD28 then
0x59BD40-0x59BD66). The Ghidra arbitration table in
oh1-depth-lifecycle.md governs over the pseudo-C's own nested-if reading
of the four x87 FCOM results (BinaryNinja's `test ah, 0x44` condition
synthesis is FPU-flag-ambiguous and reads backward at face value — see
feedback_bn_decomp_field_names.md on decompiler flag mush as an artifact
class, not semantics): the table's row says "whole poly on any
local-input x/y == +/-12 boundary is rejected before count/clip" — taken
as written, not re-derived from the pseudo-C's literal branch nesting.
Ported as one shared predicate,
WalkVisibilityMath.IsRejectedByPortalPolygonBoundaryGuard(ReadOnlySpan
<Vector3>): true iff any vertex's X or Y is exactly +12f/-12f (retail
tests LOCAL x/y before xformStart, the world transform). Wired at BOTH
producers that own the LOCAL polygon before it leaves cell/building
space:
- WalkFrameDriver.OnPunchGeometry (the walk's punch-event producer,
IWalkEventSink.OnPunchGeometry) — checked on the building-local
WalkPolygon.Vertices before TransformToWorld; a hit returns before
MarkIfGrown/any event append (retail's reject -> transform -> clip
-> count order).
- RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawPortalDepthWrite (the exit-seal
enumeration behind DrawExitPortalMask, the sole caller) — checked on
cell.PortalPolygons[index]'s local vertices before the
Vector3.Transform loop; a hit `continue`s with no `submitted++`.
T2 (three layers):
1. WalkVisibilityMathTests.cs — direct unit tests of the predicate:
Boundary_guard_rejects_a_polygon_with_one_vertex_exactly_on_plus_minus_12
(Theory, x/y == +-12 each), Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_
nearest_vertex_is_just_inside_12 (Theory, x/y == +-11.999),
Boundary_guard_rejects_the_whole_polygon_even_when_only_one_of_
several_vertices_hits_it, Boundary_guard_ignores_the_vertical_z_
component, Boundary_guard_admits_the_empty_polygon.
2. WalkFrameDriverTests.OnPunchGeometry_RejectsWholePolygonOnExact
PlusMinus12LocalVertex_ButPunchesJustInside — functional: feeds
OnPunchGeometry a polygon with a vertex at x=12 (no PunchFan/no
"PUNCH:" log line) then one at x=11.999 (punches normally,
leaf.Punches has exactly one entry, log has exactly one "PUNCH:3@v0").
3. RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawPortalDepthWrite_RejectsDegenerate
LocalPolygons_BeforeTransformOrSubmission — a real functional test of
DrawPortalDepthWrite needs a live PortalDepthMaskRenderer the suite
has no fake for, so this is a compiled-call-graph pin (this file's
established pattern for exactly this situation): the guard call
precedes both the Vector3.Transform loop and
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.DrawDepthFan by IL offset, gated by a
conditional branch immediately after it.
MUTATION texts, all verified live during this session then reverted:
- OnPunchGeometry_RejectsWholePolygon... with the C1 guard deleted from
OnPunchGeometry:
Assert.Single() Failure: The collection contained 2 items
Collection: [WalkPolygon { Plane = WalkPlane { Normal = <0, 0, 1>, D = -3 }, Vertices = [<0, 0, 3>, <12, 0, 3>, <5, 5, 3>] }, WalkPolygon { Plane = WalkPlane { Normal = <0, 0, 1>, D = -3 }, Vertices = [<0, 0, 3>, <11.999, 0, 3>, <5, 5, 3>] }]
- DrawPortalDepthWrite_RejectsDegenerateLocalPolygons... with the C1
guard deleted from DrawPortalDepthWrite:
Expected call to WalkVisibilityMath.IsRejectedByPortalPolygonBoundaryGuard.
- Boundary_guard_admits_a_polygon_whose_nearest_vertex_is_just_inside_12
with the predicate widened to `MathF.Abs(x) >= 11.99f ||
MathF.Abs(y) >= 11.99f` (all four rows):
Assert.False() Failure
Expected: False
Actual: True
- Boundary_guard_rejects_a_polygon_with_one_vertex_exactly_on_plus_
minus_12 with the predicate narrowed to strict `x > 12f || x < -12f
|| y > 12f || y < -12f` (all four rows):
Assert.True() Failure
Expected: True
Actual: False
- Boundary_guard_rejects_the_whole_polygon_even_when_only_one_of_
several_vertices_hits_it with the guard checking only
localVertices[0] instead of looping every vertex:
Assert.True() Failure
Expected: True
Actual: False
C2 — no pipeline change for R3 (depth ALWAYS/write/no-cull, color writes
ENABLED with a zero-alpha SRCALPHA/INVSRCALPHA blend). acdream's
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.Rhi.cs:92,100 sets ColorWrite=false alongside
Blend=None; portal_depth.frag writes no color output at all. Provably
pixel-identical (retail's blend collapses to dst'=dst when srcAlpha is
fixed at 0, for any RGB) and the write mask is the SAFER mechanism going
forward (structurally blocks any future accidental color write,
independent of an authored zero-alpha invariant). Added register row
AD-119 to docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md (the next free
id after AD-118), citing DrawPortalPolyInternal @0x0059bc90 and
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.Rhi.cs; section 2's active-row count and running
header note updated (90 -> 91).
C3 — the truth table + cross-frame latch tests. The (root kind,
draw_landscape, outside-view count, previous count) table's cells are
mostly already covered by S3 chunk 2's own tests — this chunk adds only
the genuinely missing rows/cases, and leaves every existing test
untouched:
Pre-existing coverage (named, not reproduced):
- interior, ov==0, prior==0 ->
RunFrame_InteriorFloodWithNoExitView_SkipsLandscapeAndNeverFlushesClearsOrSeals
- interior, ov>0, prior==0 ->
RunFrame_InteriorFloodWithExitView_FreshDriverSkipsTheGatedClearThenDrawsSealsAndFloodCells
and OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_FirstOvFrameSkipsClear_SecondFrameArmedByFirstsSealsClears
(its own frame 1)
- interior, ov>0, prior>0 (T4's "frame 1 seals N>0 -> frame 2
clears" half) ->
OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_FirstOvFrameSkipsClear_SecondFrameArmedByFirstsSealsClears
(its own frame 2)
- T4's "frame 1 seals 0 -> frame 2 does not clear" half (repeated
across three consecutive ov>0 frames, subsuming the two-frame
case) -> OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_FloodWithNoExitPortal_NeverClearsAcrossFrames
- one look-in isolated from the root latch ->
LookInDrawCells_NeitherArmsNorConsumesThePortalsDrawnCounter
No further T4 test was added — the two existing facts above already
prove both halves of the two-consecutive-frames latch case exactly.
New rows added this chunk:
- WalkFrame_OutdoorRoot_NeverFiresTheInteriorClearSealMachinery: root
kind == OUTDOOR. RetailFrameWalk.WalkFrame's outdoor branch
((cameraCellId & 0xFFFF) < 0x100) calls DrawLandscape directly and
never calls DrawInside/OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn at all, so the whole
LFLUSH/stamp/CLEAR/SEALS mechanism structurally cannot fire —
driven end-to-end through RunFrame with an outdoor cameraCellId,
asserting SKY present, LFLUSH/CLEAR/SEALS absent, counter stays 0.
MUTATION (verified, then reverted): added a stray
`sink.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn([], 1);` call to WalkFrame's outdoor
branch:
Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Item found in collection
↓ (pos 1)
Collection: ["SKY", "LFLUSH", "SEALS"]
Found: "LFLUSH"
- OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn_OvZeroAfterAPriorArmedCounter_LeavesTheLatch
CompletelyUntouched: interior, ov==0 immediately after an EARLIER
ov>0 frame armed the counter — proves the counter is left EXACTLY
as an earlier frame left it (not merely "not cleared this frame"),
since S3 §8.1 R3 gates the ENTIRE outside_view.view_count>0 block,
including the read-then-zero decision itself, on ov>0.
MUTATION (verified, then reverted): moved
`int armed = PortalsDrawnCount; PortalsDrawnCount = 0;` out of the
`if (outsideViewCount > 0)` gate in
WalkFrameDriver.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn (unconditional
read-then-zero every call):
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 1
Actual: 0
(every OTHER WalkFrameDriverTests fact stayed green under this same
mutation — this new test is the only one that catches it).
- MultipleLookIns_WithinOneFrameAndAcrossFrames_NeverTouchTheRootLatch
(T5): extends the single-look-in fact to TWO look-ins in one frame
then a THIRD in a later frame. MUTATION (verified, then reverted):
a `_mutationLookInCalls` counter in HandleDrawCellsTurn's
LookInStatic branch that resets PortalsDrawnCount on the SECOND
look-in call:
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 1
Actual: 0
— while LookInDrawCells_NeitherArmsNorConsumesThePortalsDrawnCounter
(one look-in only) stayed green under the identical mutation,
confirming this test's incremental value over the existing single-
look-in fact.

Issue #464 needs a repeatable tilted self-gate frame at the cathedral
stair-arch pose, but the automation's `drag at`/`mousemove` verbs only
move the retained-UI cursor — they never reach mouse-look, so every
scripted route replays the DEFAULT camera and can't reproduce the
owner's upward-tilted frame (docs/ISSUES.md #464, the 2026-09-03
22:07 transcript note: "the automation's `drag at` verb does not
drive mouse-look").
Add `mouselook <dx> <dy>`: it calls the SAME
GameplayInputFrameController.QueueRawMouseDelta the real mouse's Silk
MouseMove callback drives (CameraPointerInputController.
ProcessMouseMove), through an injected delegate threaded
RetailUiAutomationScriptRunner <- RetailUiProbeBindings <-
InteractionRetainedUiDependencies.GameplayInputFrame. That last seam
is resolved fresh on every call rather than captured once at mount,
since GameplayInputFrameController is created per live session
(SessionPlayerComposition), strictly after the retained UI composes
and across reconnects — the same never-capture-a-deferred-Func
discipline the secure-trade command-bus regression taught
(claude-memory/feedback_resolve_deferred_funcs_per_call.md).
The delta only takes effect while mouse-look is active (bracket with
`input down`/`up CameraInstantMouseLook`) and one call consumes
exactly one raw sample on the controller's next tick, so a route must
`sleep` between calls — documented on DoMouseLook and the class doc
comment.

F1 (BLOCKING, punch-fan view alignment). ClipFrameAssembler.
ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk now keeps exactly ONE outside-view slice per
walk view, index-aligned with RetailFrameWalk.DrawBuilding's own
ActiveViewIndex (retail building_view = portal_view_num @0x0059f3bf): a
collapsed view (ClipPlaneSet.IsNothingVisible — retail polyClipFinish under
a degenerate view leaves <3 vertices, 0x59BDBC-0x59BDBF) now appends its
own ClipViewSlice.NothingVisible=true slot instead of being skipped, which
used to shift every later view's slice down by one. DrawWalkPunchFan draws
NOTHING for a NothingVisible slice and throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException
when activeViewIndex is out of range (fail-loud; never draws unclipped).
New tests: WalkOutsideViewReassemblyTests.
FirstViewCollapses_SecondSurvives_SlicesStayIndexAligned and
PunchLeaf_UsesIndexAlignedSlice_DrawsNothingForCollapsed_ThrowsOutOfRange.
MUTATION M1 (revert the append-nothing-on-skip fix, restoring the old
skip): both new tests fail with
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 2
Actual: 1
MUTATION M2 (restore the old ": default" unclipped fallback in
DrawWalkPunchFan): the punch-leaf test fails with
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: 0
Actual: 1
(both restored; verified clean afterward).
F2 (major, exit-seal pin through the real producer + both overflow cases).
The exit-seal CPU/GPU equivalence pin moved from ClipFrameLayoutTests (which
drove ClipFrame.AppendSlot(ClipPlaneSet) via the zero-caller
ClipFrameAssembler.Assemble) to the new
tests/.../Walk/WalkFrameDriverClipSealTests.cs, which drives
WalkFrameDriver.BeginFrame + the real IWalkEventSink.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn
hook — the SAME path RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawExitPortalMask resolves
through via WalkFrameDriver.InteriorFloodViewClipPlanesAt. The new pin
compares WalkFrameDriver's captured planes EXACTLY (not just geometrically)
against ClipPlaneSet.From's independent CCW-normalized-perpendicular
computation, since AppendClipSlot's per-edge formula is bit-identical to
ClipPlaneSet's own. Two overflow cases added: a 9-vertex portal view exit-seals
to exactly the 4 conservative AABB planes containing every source vertex
(over-include, never under-include — AppendClipSlot's fallback for a view too
complex for the 8-plane budget); a 9-vertex OUTSIDE view (the punch-fan
sibling, WalkOutsideViewReassemblyTests.
NineVertexOutsideView_PunchSliceHasZeroPlanes_DrawsUnclipped_NotNothingVisible)
produces a zero-plane, NOT-NothingVisible slice — draws fully unclipped,
distinct from F1's "draw nothing" state.
MUTATION M1 (flip the winding selection, `ccw = area2 < 0f`):
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values are not within 4 decimal places
Expected: 0.9191 (rounded from 0.919144988)
Actual: 0.8944 (rounded from 0.89442724)
MUTATION M2 (drop the normalize from the per-edge plane formula):
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values are not within 4 decimal places
Expected: 0.9191 (rounded from 0.919144988)
Actual: 0.7 (rounded from 0.700000048)
MUTATION M3 (delete the >8-plane AABB overflow branch — the per-edge loop
then indexes a fixed 8-plane stackalloc with a 9-edge polygon):
System.IndexOutOfRangeException : Index was outside the bounds of the array.
at WalkFrameDriver.AppendClipSlot(...) line 1915
at WalkFrameDriver.CaptureViews(...) -> CaptureCellViews -> CaptureCellViewRoute
-> EmitFloodTurns -> IWalkEventSink.OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn
(all three restored; verified clean afterward).
F3 (minor/major). RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs's false bracket comment
(neither KEEP clip — exit seals nor punch fans — ever called Enable/
DisableClipDistances; the six DisableClipDistances() call sites all sat
around the UNCLIPPED particle/weather draws, whose bodies are no-ops on the
only backend) is rewritten to the truth; the six no-op calls and the
private DisableClipDistances() wrapper are deleted.
IWorldPassSurface.EnableClipDistances/DisableClipDistances stay on the
INTERFACE — WorldScenePassExecutor (the separate flat-world path) still
calls them.
F4a (EC transcript exactness). WalkFrameDriver.EmitFloodTurns now prints one
"EC" line per LIVE VIEW of the flood cell (retail's setup_view/DrawEnvCell
loop, PView::DrawCells @0x005a4ab1-0x005a4acc, fires once per live portal_view
slice, not once per cell) via the captured route's own SliceCount — read
directly off _lookInTurns[viewRouteIndex] rather than through
InteriorFloodViewSliceCountAt's flood-index indirection, because this same
loop also serves a building's LOOK-IN flood (WalkDrawStage.LookInStatic),
whose cells never populate InteriorFloodCells (the interior ROOT flood only)
— indexing through that accessor threw ArgumentOutOfRangeException on a real
look-in turn during verification, fixed before landing. The actual CellShell
DRAW event is unchanged (the frame stamp still dedupes it to one submission).
F4b (transcript exactness, trailing weather OC).
WalkTraceConformanceTests.Recorder now implements IWalkEventSink.
OnWeatherTurn (the interface's silent no-op default previously left the
replay side of Signature8 blind to the weather turn's own "OC" line), and
WalkTraceReplayContext.Signature8(WalkOracleFrame) no longer excludes the
trailing per-frame weather ObjectCellTurn — every ObjectCellTurn now reads
literally, on both sides. Implementing OnWeatherTurn alone left
Still_fixture_first_frame_reproduces_exactly(terrace-edge.walk) diverging
ONLY on the newly-un-excluded trailing OC (EXPECTED ...OC:f4180104|
OC:f418000b vs ACTUAL ...OC:f4180104 — a length-12 tail, nothing else
differs across a 16.6k-char signature) because
WalkTraceReplayContext.WeatherGateOpen had always defaulted to false (the
harness never needed to fire the walk's weather hook before). Per the
review round's own instruction not to weaken the pin, the harness itself is
fixed instead: WalkTraceReplayContext now implements ViewerCellId (= the
harness's own WalkFrame cameraCellId argument, matching production's
RetailPViewFrameInput.ViewerCellId invariant) and WeatherGateOpen
(retail's own SmartBox::is_player_outside gate, (cellId & 0xFFFF) < 0x100,
with no App-level render-toggle concept to AND against). MUTATION (delete
Recorder.OnWeatherTurn): Still_fixture_first_frame_reproduces_exactly
(terrace-edge.walk) fails with EXPECTED ending "...OC:f4180104|OC:f418000b"
vs ACTUAL ending "...OC:f4180104" (the trailing OC missing) — restored;
verified clean afterward.
Fixture-row status (InstalledDat lane, WalkTraceConformanceTests, 14 rows):
13 pass, 1 fails — Oh_doorway_still_first_frame_diff, the PRE-EXISTING
[Trait("Status","KnownFailure")] #458 row (a documented block-plane
precision boundary at token index 165, LC/SC content, upstream of any
EC/OC — unaffected by and unrelated to this round's OC change). Every OTHER
row, including every eight-kind (Signature8) row that now compares the
weather OC literally, passes exactly.
F5 (major, dead per-cell clip machinery). WbDrawDispatcher.SetClipRouting
(the only writer of the per-instance routing-active flag) had ZERO
production callers; EnvCellRenderer.SetClipRouting was called only with
null (WorldScenePassExecutor's BeginFrame/AbortFrame) — no path could ever
arm the per-cell clip-region table, on the walk path OR the flat path (the
S3 landing-hygiene AD-17 correction's "live for the flat path" clause is
itself corrected here: dormant in every path, deleted). Deleted:
WbDrawDispatcher's SetClipRouting/ClearClipRouting and their four backing
fields; EnvCellRenderer's SetClipRouting and its backing field (its
RenderModernMDIInternal write now unconditionally clears instanceClipSlot);
the ProbeClipRouteEnabled-gated per-frame [clip-route-disp] dispatch probe
and its three backing fields (the OTHER two ACDREAM_PROBE_CLIPROUTE
producers, [clip-route] and [clip-route-scis] in WorldRenderDiagnostics.cs,
are untouched — a different, still-live mechanism); ResolveEntitySlot,
IsIndoorCellId and the ClipSlotCull sentinel; the ACDREAM_CLIP_DEBUG probe
(RenderingDiagnostics.ClipDebugNoShellTrim) and its docs/launch-options.md
row, since the "clip shells" branch it toggled between is gone.
ResolveSlotForFrame is simplified to a parameterless
`(uint Slot, bool Culled) ResolveSlotForFrame() => (0u, false)` per the
review's own framing ("it becomes slot 0, never culled") rather than
deleted outright, since its callers (WbDrawDispatcher.cs and
WbDrawDispatcher.WalkClassify.cs) still want the same two-value shape.
tests/.../Wb/WbDrawDispatcherClipSlotTests.cs (12 tests, all exercising the
deleted routing arm via ResolveEntitySlot/the active ResolveSlotForFrame
branch) is replaced with one pin on the new parameterless behavior.
Shaders: mesh_modern.vert, mesh_atmospheric.vert, mesh_detail.vert,
particle.vert and particle_mesh.vert each lose their CellClip struct +
binding=2 ClipRegionBuf fetch, gl_ClipDistance write loop, and gl_PerVertex
redeclaration (portal_depth.vert's own, separate gl_PerVertex/gl_ClipDistance
pair — the KEEP mechanism, its planes handed through the TerrainClip UBO at
binding=2 in the UBO namespace — is untouched; verified it never read the
deleted SSBO). Recompiled via tools/compile-shaders.ps1 (glslc backend
detected; managed shaderc path ran); 24/24 pairs compiled. Re-pinned in
VulkanShaderManifestTests.RetailOracleSpirvSha256 (the only three of the
five edited shaders that carry a byte-exact retail-oracle pin):
mesh_modern.vert.spv = f9ed4ee7140ccd136130559dbea68545f733f6022f52b085b6df4bcb787223c6
particle.vert.spv = 95ce6ecf834930a92da5c5fe9aef513b38b5ba104704b98c1606af71fe17eaf3
particle_mesh.vert.spv = 043482b97c2ed036511692f89c75a0a6c298aba48cb519e5e3aff7fe7ba6371b
(mesh_atmospheric.vert.spv / mesh_detail.vert.spv changed too but carry no
retail-oracle pin, so no re-pin was needed for them.)
tests/.../ParticleBindlessInstanceTests.cs's
Assert.Contains("clipRegions[aClipSlot]", vertex) — a real breakage the
grep sweep caught — is deleted with a note; the surrounding aClipSlot
attribute-declaration assertion stays.
Vertex-layout residue kept THIS round, fed 0 by the CPU, unread by any
shader (S5's instance-buffer-layout revisit): instanceClipSlot[] (binding=3
SSBO) in mesh_modern.vert/mesh_atmospheric.vert/mesh_detail.vert; aClipSlot
(a per-vertex attribute) in particle.vert/particle_mesh.vert.
Grep sweep — "SetClipRouting|_clipRoutingActive|ClearClipRouting|
BeginScissor|NdcScissorRect|SetTerrainClip|BindTerrainClip|TerrainBytes|
ScissorNdcAabb|UseScissorFallback" over src/ and tests/: EMPTY (also swept
and rewrote several PRE-EXISTING prose mentions of BeginScissor/
ClearClipRouting in RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs, RetailPViewRenderer.cs,
WorldPassSurface.cs and RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.cs that predate this
commit's own work, purely to satisfy the literal sweep). "clipRegions|
instanceClipSlot|aClipSlot": every remaining match is the vertex-layout
residue named above, or a comment/assertion describing that same residue.
Deviations from a fully literal reading of F5 (recorded here since none of
them cross the mandatory automated gates, all of which pass):
- The C#-side ClipRegions SSBO publish/bind pipeline
(RhiWorldPassSurface.PrepareClipFrame's publish, WorldFrameSections.
ClipRegions, and ClipFrame's internal std430 byte-packing —
RegionBytes/RegionBytesForTest/CellClipStrideBytes) is NOT deleted this
round; it is left as documented dead residue (verified zero shader
readers) rather than rewritten. The mandatory grep sweep targets the
shader-source identifier `clipRegions` (lowercase), which is fully clean;
the C# publish machinery sits behind ~8 files (ClipFrame.cs,
WorldPassSurface.cs, WbDrawDispatcher.Rhi.cs, WorldPassScope.cs,
GpuBindingModel.cs, EnvCellRenderer.Rhi.cs, ParticleRenderer.Rhi.cs,
WbDrawDispatcher.OrderedStream.cs, plus the ClipFrameLayoutTests std430
pins) and CellClipPlanesOffset/MaxPlanes are the SAME constants
portal_depth.vert's KEEP mechanism uses for its own, unrelated UBO layout
— a full rewrite carried materially higher regression risk than this
round's mandatory scope justified. ClipFrame.cs and WorldPassSurface.cs
now both name this residue explicitly in their doc comments for a future
round to finish.
- SetClipRegionSsbo/_sharedClipRegionSsbo in WbDrawDispatcher.cs (a
pre-existing, already fully dead GL-era write-only field/method with zero
callers, unrelated to per-instance clip-slot routing) is left untouched —
outside F5's named scope and outside the mandatory grep sweep.
- WalkTraceReplayContext.ViewerCellId/WeatherGateOpen (F4b, detailed above)
is an addition beyond the literal §12 text, made to keep the InstalledDat
lane at exactly the four established known failures without weakening
the newly-un-excluded OC pin.

Chunk H of Campaign OVERHAUL v2's S3 walk-ownership program
(docs/research/2026-09-01-overhaul/s3-walk-ownership-map.md §10.6), landing
the three post-hoc three-lens findings on S3 chunk 4 round 2. Pure dead-state
deletion, comment truth, one test deletion, one stronger pin — no admission,
order, or behavior change; no new flag or probe; no register row (AD-17's
correction is the lead's own, already on the campaign branch).
H1 — ClipPlaneSet.cs: deleted ScissorNdcAabb (no production reader — only
AppendOutsideSlice consumes ClipPlaneSet, and it reads only
IsNothingVisible/Count/PlaneArray) and renamed UseScissorFallback ->
IsPlaneOverflow with a doc stating the true consumer contract: Count==0
overflow means the region draws UNCLIPPED via the no-clip slot, never a
scissor box. Rewrote the file header's convexity-rule and Count==0-states
sections to the two states that exist (Empty / overflow) instead of three,
and simplified the private Scissor(...) AABB-computing helpers into a
parameterless Overflow() factory since nothing reads the AABB any more.
ClipPlaneSetTests.cs: renamed every UseScissorFallback reference, deleted
the AABB assertions (From_MultiplePolygons's four ScissorNdcAabb.X/Y/Z/W
checks, Empty_StaticProperty_DrawsNothing's degenerate-box check,
ScissorFallback_IsNotNothingVisible's bounds check) that pinned the deleted
consumer contract.
H2 — TerrainModernRenderer.cs: deleted Draw's clipPlanes/ndcClipAabb
parameters (grep: TerrainModernRenderer.Draw has exactly one production
caller, WorldScenePassExecutor.DrawFlatTerrain, and it never passed
either), which made CollectVisibleCells's own clipPlanes/ndcClipAabb/
viewProjection parameters and the IsAabbVisibleThroughClipRegion +
IsAabbOutsideHomogeneousPlane helper pair they fed entirely dead — deleted
along with the stale "Retail publishes landcell in_view from the clipped
landscape view" comment; CollectVisibleCells is frustum-only now, matching
DrawLandCells's own "retail never view-clips terrain" doc. Deleted the
terrainUploadCount computation at RetailPViewRenderer.cs (the
DrawInside/DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase caller) and PrepareClipFrame's
GL-era reservation-count parameter end to end:
IWorldPassSurface.PrepareClipFrame(int), RhiWorldPassSurface's matching
body and its now-pointless "_ = terrainUploadCount" discard,
RetailPViewPassExecutor.PrepareClipFrame's pass-through, and
WorldScenePassExecutor.PrepareFlatWorldClip's hardcoded `1` argument —
PrepareClipFrame() takes nothing on every arm.
TerrainParticleCellVisibilityTests.cs: deleted the three tests that only
existed to pin the removed clip-plane/scissor mechanism
(RejectsCellsOutsideDoorwayClipPlanes, RejectsCellsOutsideDoorwayScissorAabb,
UnionsCellsFromEveryLandscapeSlice) and updated the two surviving frustum
tests to the new signature.
H3 — deleted tests/AcDream.App.Tests/Rendering/Issue130DoorwayStripTests.cs
outright. #130 was a background-color strip along a doorway's top edge from
a since-fixed under-inclusion in the CPU clip pipeline; its scissor half was
already retired at S3 chunk 4 fix round 2 (L7), and its surviving plane-gap
half exercised only PortalVisibilityBuilder.Build and
ClipFrameAssembler.Assemble, both confirmed zero-production-caller legacy
paths (grep) — the one production stage it actually touched,
ClipPlaneSet.From, is already pinned through the real producers
(BeginWalkFrame/ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk) by the K6/L4 punch-fan
equivalence pin in ClipFrameLayoutTests, so nothing production-relevant lost
coverage.
H4 — comment truth pass:
- ClipFrameAssembler.cs: rewrote the file-header "renderer uses scissor for
passes that need that fallback" line and the TerrainClipMode summary's
"that path never produces Scissor" clause. Deleted the TerrainClipMode
enum's Scissor member — grepped every reader first
(WorldRenderDiagnostics.cs, WorldSceneDiagnosticsController.cs,
WorldSceneRendererTests.cs all only pass the value through to a string
Append or a mock parameter; WorldSceneRenderer.cs, the only writer, sets
only Planes (default) or Skip, never Scissor) — kept Planes/Skip for the
flat path and corrected Skip's stale doc ("No outside_view slice is
visible; skip landscape indoors", a leftover from the pre-round-2 walk
meaning) to what the flat path's own writer actually means now ("the
PView walk ran instead of the flat-world path this frame"). Corrected
ClipViewSlice's doc: the AABB is retained for WorldRenderDiagnostics only,
not for a scissor consumer.
- WorldPassSurface.cs: "Four concerns... the clip-frame publication, the
doorway scissor, gl_ClipDistance enablement, and retail's interior depth
clear" -> three concerns (the doorway scissor was retired at L2), with a
pointer to ClearInteriorDepth's own truthful doc. EnableClipDistances'
"all three world vertex shaders already write 1.0" -> only
portal_depth.vert writes gl_ClipDistance now (grep: sky.vert and
terrain_modern.vert/terrain_atmospheric.vert no longer declare it at all
— L3 deleted the block outright; portal_depth.vert still writes 1.0 past
its active clip count). RhiWorldPassSurface's class doc dropped "the
scissor is dynamic state on the borrowed encoder" (no producer left).
- RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.cs: DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase_CallsDraw
WeatherOnceExactlyOnce's doc corrected "unconditionally" (false since K2)
to "conditional on WalkFrameDriver.WeatherTurnFired, see the L1 pin".
Added the switch-table scope note (matching L8's own note on
DrawWalkSky_RenderSkyCallSiteHasNoEnclosingBackwardBranch) to the K1 pin's
doc (DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase_DrawWeatherOnceCallSiteHasNoEnclosing
BackwardBranch).
- RetailPViewRenderer.cs: the DrawWeatherOnce citation cited the callee
address (GameSky::Draw(sky,1) @0x00506ff0) where §10.1 cites the call
site (@0x00506396) — corrected to cite the call site with the callee
address alongside it.
H5 — MUTATION CHECK (mandatory, run against the production gate at
RetailPViewRenderer.DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase):
Added DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase_ExactlyOneBranchGuardsDrawWeatherOnce,
which widens the L1 pin's window to start at the
DrawUnattachedSceneParticles call (the last call before the whole gate)
and asserts EXACTLY ONE branch total in that window — the L1 pin's own
window (getter-call to draw-call) misses a conjoined gate's extra,
earlier condition because that condition's own brfalse lands BEFORE the
getter call's offset.
- Mutation 1 (the conjoined gate this pin exists to reject): changed the
gate to `if (clipAssembly.OutsideViewSlices.Length != 0 &&
walkDriver.WeatherTurnFired)`, built, ran the new pin — FAILED with:
Assert.Single() Failure: The collection contained 2 matching items
Expected: (predicate expression)
Collection: [CompiledBranch { Offset = 7, OpCode = brfalse.s, TargetOffset = 17 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 24, OpCode = brfalse.s, TargetOffset = 42 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 33, OpCode = brfalse.s, TargetOffset = 42 }]
Match indices: 1, 2
(offset 7 = the DrawUnattachedSceneParticles block's own guard, correctly
excluded since it precedes that call's offset; offsets 24 and 33 are the
conjoined gate's two brfalse's, both inside the widened window — exactly
the failure this pin exists to catch). Restored the single-flag gate;
rebuilt; the new pin and all 13 sibling tests in
RetailPViewPassExecutorTests pass again (14/14).
- Mutation M1 (the existing round-2 regression: restore the pre-fix gate
`if (clipAssembly.OutsideViewSlices.Length != 0)`), built, ran the full
suite — the L1 pin
(DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase_GatesDrawWeatherOnceOnWalkDriverWeatherTurnFired)
still FAILS, as required, with:
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: typeof(AcDream.App.Rendering.Walk.WalkFrameDriver)
Actual: typeof(AcDream.App.Rendering.ClipFrameAssembly)
(the new H5 pin does NOT fail under M1 — a single-flag gate still
produces exactly one branch in the widened window, which is correct:
catching "wrong condition source" is L1's job, catching "an extra
conjoined condition" is H5's). Restored the correct gate; rebuilt;
14/14 green again.
H6 grep sweep (extends §10.5's L6 sweep per the plan):
grep -rnE "ScissorNdcAabb|UseScissorFallback|TerrainClipMode\.Scissor|ndcClipAabb|terrainUploadCount" --include=*.cs --include=*.vert --include=*.frag src tests
-> empty (every mention, including in this commit's own explanatory
comments, was rephrased to avoid the literal deleted identifiers).
The base L6 sweep (SetTerrainClip|BeginDoorwayScissor|BindTerrainClip|
TerrainBytes|active scissor|TerrainClipMode\.Scissor|NdcScissorRect) is
also still empty.
Gates: dotnet build tests/AcDream.App.Tests -c Release -> 0 warnings / 0
errors. Hermetic lane -> 6825/6825 passed, 0 failed. InstalledDat lane
(ACDREAM_DAT_DIR set) -> 243 passed / 4 known failures (2x #383 layout
tests, TowerAscentReplayTests's TowerAscent KnownFailure,
WalkTraceConformanceTests.Oh_doorway_still_first_frame_diff #458
KnownFailure) / 1 skipped / 248 total — one fewer test than before H3, as
expected from Issue130DoorwayStripTests's deletion.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round-1 three-lens FAIL at d60ca4ea0 found: the K2 fix was right in
production but nothing pinned the draw side (restoring the pre-fix gate
left every lane green); a stale "still ends an active scissor" comment
asserted a mechanism the same round had already deleted; the sky.vert
comment claimed retail clips the sky when it draws unclipped; the K6
pin ran through ClipFrameAssembler.Assemble, which has zero production
callers, so it proved nothing about the producer that actually runs.
This round closes L1-L9.
L1 (BLOCKING) — draw-side weather-gate pin. Added
RetailPViewPassExecutorTests.DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase_GatesDrawWeatherOnceOnWalkDriverWeatherTurnFired:
reads DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase's compiled call graph and asserts (a)
the call immediately before DrawWeatherOnce is
WalkFrameDriver.get_WeatherTurnFired and (b) exactly one
brfalse/brfalse.s branch sits between that call and the draw, jumping
forward past it. Three mutations, each shown failing:
M1 (restore `if (clipAssembly.OutsideViewSlices.Length != 0)`):
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: typeof(AcDream.App.Rendering.Walk.WalkFrameDriver)
Actual: typeof(AcDream.App.Rendering.ClipFrameAssembly)
M2 (drop the gate, unconditional call):
Assert.Equal() Failure: Values differ
Expected: typeof(AcDream.App.Rendering.Walk.WalkFrameDriver)
Actual: typeof(AcDream.App.Rendering.RetailPViewPassExecutor)
M3 (invert to `if (!walkDriver.WeatherTurnFired)`):
Assert.Single() Failure: The collection did not contain any matching items
Expected: (predicate expression)
Collection: [CompiledBranch { Offset = 7, OpCode = brfalse.s, TargetOffset = 17 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 24, OpCode = brtrue.s, TargetOffset = 33 }]
Corrected WalkFrameDriverTranscriptTests.cs's doc comment (the
Collect_WeatherTurnFiredMatchesThePrintedOcLineExactly block): it pins
the print half and the flag only, and now names the real draw-side pin
instead of falsely claiming to double as one.
L2 (MAJOR) — scissor stack deleted, K4 comment corrected. Deleted
IWorldPassSurface.BeginScissor/EndScissor and their RhiWorldPassSurface
bodies, the scissor call inside ClearInteriorDepth, NdcScissorRect.cs +
NdcScissorRectTests.cs (BeginScissor had zero remaining callers, and
RhiWorldPassSurface.BeginScissor was NdcScissorRect.ToPixels' only
production caller). This left RhiWorldPassSurface's 4th constructor
parameter (IRetailPViewFramebufferSource) and RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs's
RetailPViewFramebufferSize/IRetailPViewFramebufferSource/
SilkRetailPViewFramebufferSource types entirely dead (framebuffer size
was needed only for the scissor's NDC-to-pixel conversion) — removed
them and their one call site in FrameRootComposition.cs. Rewrote
RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs's K4 comment: it no longer asserts a live
scissor mechanism; it states that VulkanGpuPassEncoder's constructor
sets the full-attachment scissor once, at pass begin
(VulkanGpuPassEncoder.cs:87), and nothing narrows it after that. KEPT
per the round-1 verdict: ScissorFallbacks, OutsidePlaneCount,
OutsideViewNdcAabb, HasOutsideView, OutdoorVisible, OutdoorSlot,
ClipViewSlice.NdcAabb (the >8-edge zero-plane slice case the punch fans
still consume) and the VulkanViewportMapping.ScissorToVulkan pass-begin
path (IGpuPassEncoder.SetScissor stays). Also deleted
ClipFrameAssembly.TerrainMode/TerrainScissorNdcAabb and their writers
in ClipFrameAssembler.cs (both Assemble and ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk);
OutsidePlaneCount's formula reduces to `outsideHasScissorFallback ? 0 :
outsideMaxPlaneCount` without needing the deleted TerrainClipMode
comparison (a scissor-fallback slice can only exist when outdoorVisible
is already true, so the three original cases collapse identically).
Deleted the two "terrain=" / "outMode=" diagnostic reads in
WorldRenderDiagnostics.cs (:345, :409) and the now-vestigial
EmitClipRouteProbe "ubo: n=..." segment that read ClipFrame's deleted
terrain bytes.
DEVIATION from L2's literal text: kept the TerrainClipMode enum type
itself — WorldSceneRenderer.cs's flat-world safety path (explicitly
"out of this chunk's scope" per K4's own round-1 comment) still uses it
for an unrelated "did the flat terrain draw" diagnostic flag, with its
own WorldSceneDiagnosticsController/WorldRenderDiagnostics/test
consumers. Deleting the type would require rewriting files outside
every round's declared file list. Reworded its doc comment to state
this plainly.
L3 (MAJOR, completes K3) — dead TerrainClip UBO deleted from the sky
and terrain shaders. Deleted the block, both gl_ClipDistance loops, and
the gl_PerVertex redeclaration (nothing else needs it) from sky.vert,
terrain_modern.vert, terrain_atmospheric.vert. Recompiled via
tools/compile-shaders.ps1 (glslc via the Vulkan SDK, managed shaderc
fallback also runs) — 24/24 pairs compiled; only sky.vert.spv,
terrain_atmospheric.vert.spv and terrain_modern.vert.spv changed.
Re-pinned VulkanShaderManifestTests.cs's frozen retail-oracle hashes
for sky.vert.spv (7d67a9e3624d198b370d402b5c12e4ce925bf9b8e646ef5123636a86d5985ab5)
and terrain_modern.vert.spv (8a73d89ef0e51e550327b9ff8c24857e309103b1d491030cf0d4d8594b45068c)
with dated comments, matching the existing re-pin convention.
Deleted WorldFrameSectionBinding.BindTerrainClip and
WorldFrameSections.TerrainClip (+ its Reset) with its two callers
(SkyRenderer.Rhi.cs:258, TerrainModernRenderer.Rhi.cs:259). DEVIATION
from L3's literal text: kept the shared Zeroed(...) helper in
WorldPassScope.cs — it is also called by BindSceneLighting and
BindClipRegions, both of which stay; deleting it would have broken
those two live bindings. Deleted IWorldPassSurface.BindTerrainClip
(no-op interface method + RhiWorldPassSurface body) and
WorldScenePassExecutor.cs's two calls to it (:121, :235).
Deleted ClipFrame's _terrainBytes field, TerrainBytes/TerrainBytesForTest
properties, Reset's Array.Clear(_terrainBytes), and the stale
header/K3 comment paragraphs. DEVIATION from L3's literal text: kept
ClipFrame.TerrainUboBytes and ClipFrame.TerrainClipUboBinding —
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.Rhi.cs (:140, :187) is a live production
consumer of both constants for the KEPT exit-seal/punch-fan clip block,
which was never in scope for deletion (portal_depth.vert's own
TerrainClip UBO declaration is the KEEP block, untouched). Reworded
both constants' doc comments (ClipFrame.cs, VulkanPipelineLayouts.cs's
UniformTerrainClip) to say only the portal-depth clip block uses
binding 2 now, and corrected the two GpuBindingModel.cs comments that
explained why terrain-tiling/sky-params bindings are 3/4 by naming "the
terrain clip block". Updated VulkanShaderDescriptorContractTests.cs's
TerrainVertexShaderDeclaresItsClipBlockInTheUniformSet (renamed
TerrainVertexShaderDeclaresOnlySceneLightingInTheUniformSet):
terrain_modern.vert's uniform set is now {SceneLighting} only. Deleted
ClipFrameLayoutTests.NoClip_TerrainBytes_Count0_AllZeros and its K3
comment; corrected the class doc comment and LayoutConstants_MatchShaderStruct's
"terrain UBO"/binding-contract comments to describe the portal-depth
consumer instead.
REQUIRED L3 fact (declared-but-never-bound dynamic uniform binding):
VulkanFrameBindings's constructor seeds EVERY declared uniform binding
(0..UniformBindingCount-1, including binding 2) with the shared dummy
buffer's range before any renderer runs (VulkanFrameBindings.cs:128-130,
`_arena.SeedUniform(binding, dummy.Handle.Handle, dummyUniformRange)`
in a loop over every binding) — "Every binding is always bound, whether
a renderer uses it or not... unused ones point at a shared dummy range"
(VulkanFrameBindings.cs:27-31). So after this round, when the sky or
terrain pipeline draws, set 1's shared descriptor layout still declares
binding 2 (portal_depth.vert's own declaration keeps
IsDeclaredUniformBinding(2) true), and its descriptor still points at a
valid (dummy) range from that seed — vkCmdBindDescriptorSets stays
legal even though neither shader statically uses binding 2 any more.
No SPIR-V-side change was needed to keep this legal.
L4 (MAJOR) — one outside-view slice constructor. Extracted
ClipFrameAssembler.AppendOutsideSlice (frame, ViewPolygon,
outsideSlicesList, ref maxPlaneCount, ref hasScissorFallback, ref
scissorFallbacks) — the exact ClipPlaneSet.From/AppendSlot/
ClipViewSlice-construction body — and call it from both Assemble's
outside_view loop and ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk's outside_view
loop. Rewrote ClipFrameLayoutTests's K6 pin
(ClipViewSlicePlanes_PunchFanPath_EqualsCpuViewPolygonEdgePlanes_ForASyntheticView):
builds a synthetic WalkPortalView from pixel-space points (the
WalkCopyViewTests pattern) via a trivial IWalkRayCaster, runs
BeginWalkFrame(frame, outdoorRoot: false) then
ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk(assembly, walkView, 640, 480), and reads
assembly.OutsideViewSlices[0].Planes — the exact production pair
RetailPViewPassExecutor.cs's BeginWalkFrame call and
RetailPViewRenderer.cs's ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk call make.
Mutation (perturbed planes[0].W inside the shared helper, right after
`planes = cps.PlaneArray;`):
edge 0 midpoint (-0.3,0.10000001) should lie ~on its OWN GPU plane; the closest plane was only 0.5251073 away
The pin's own source contains no `Assemble(` call — grep-checked by
extracting the method body and searching it for the literal text; no
match.
L5 — shader comments corrected. sky.vert/terrain_modern.vert/
terrain_atmospheric.vert now state retail draws the sky once
(LScape::draw @0x00506330 -> GameSky::Draw(sky,0) @0x0050633c, before
draw_check_blocks) and the landscape is view-culled per cell, never
GPU-clipped (RenderDeviceD3D::DrawBlock @0x005a17c0). The "Phase W
Stage 4"/"U.3 default" clip narratives are deleted along with the
blocks they described.
L6 — grep sweep. `grep -rn "<token>" src tests docs/architecture`
returns nothing for SetTerrainClip, BeginDoorwayScissor,
BindTerrainClip, TerrainBytes, "active scissor", and NdcScissorRect —
confirmed after this commit (docs/plans and docs/research keep the
historical record, untouched). TerrainClipMode is the one deliberate
exception (see the L2 deviation note above); every one of its 9
remaining hits is a live, non-stale reference (the enum declaration,
WorldSceneRenderer's flat-path local, or their diagnostic/test
plumbing), not a stale mention of a deleted mechanism.
L7 — Issue130DoorwayStripTests. Deleted AnySliceAdmitsScissor,
worstScissorGapPx and its PIN 1 assertion, the header's scissor
sentences, and the scissorGap half of MeasureTopEdgeGap (dropped the
fbW parameter it alone needed). Rewrote the header: the scissor
mechanism is retired (the sky and landscape draw unclipped; aperture
exactness comes from the depth clear, the exit seals and the interior
repaint). The remaining plane-gap half (the canary PIN,
`worstPlaneGapPx <= 1.2f`) still pins something production reads:
AnySliceAdmitsPlanes walks slice.Planes from the SAME ProjectToClip ->
ClipToRegion -> ClipPlaneSet.From pipeline
RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawWalkPunchFan reads through
clipAssembly.OutsideViewSlices[activeViewIndex].Planes — so the test
was kept, not deleted.
L8 — DrawWalkSky loop-shape pin. Added
DrawWalkSky_RenderSkyCallSiteHasNoEnclosingBackwardBranch (same
backward-branch-span shape as K1's DrawWeatherOnce pin), plus a note in
both pins that CompiledCallGraph.ReadBranches does not decode a
compiled switch jump table, but no C# loop construct compiles to one.
Mutation (wrapped the RenderSky call in `for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)`):
Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Filter matched in collection
Collection: [..., CompiledBranch { Offset = 20, OpCode = brtrue.s, TargetOffset = 25 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 23, OpCode = br.s, TargetOffset = 66 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 72, OpCode = blt.s, TargetOffset = 13 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 80, OpCode = brfalse.s, TargetOffset = 116 }, CompiledBranch { Offset = 88, OpCode = brfalse.s, TargetOffset = 116 }]
(the Offset=72 -> TargetOffset=13 entry is the injected loop's backward
branch spanning the call).
L9 — this message.

Campaign OVERHAUL S3 chunk 4 fix round 1 (docs/research/2026-09-01-overhaul/s3-walk-ownership-map.md
§10.4), on top of 6ba4b0b87. K1, K2, K3, K4, K6, K7, K8 (K5 was the lead's own plan-doc note, already
done).
K1 (blocking) — the Assert.Single pin over DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase's DrawWeatherOnce call site
stayed green even wrapped in a foreach (it counts distinct call-site offsets, not loop shape). Added
a real LOOP-SHAPE pin reusing CompiledCallGraph.ReadBranches: asserts no backward branch (target
offset < its own offset) spans the DrawWeatherOnce call's IL offset — the shape every C#
for/foreach/while loop compiles to.
K2 (minor) — the Collect-time "OC" print fired on ctx.WeatherGateOpen alone while the Replay-time
draw independently re-derived clipAssembly.OutsideViewSlices.Length > 0, which could diverge on an
interior root whose landscape turn ran but whose reassembled outside-view slices ended up empty.
WalkFrameDriver now owns one WeatherTurnFired flag, set unconditionally inside OnWeatherTurn (so it
tracks "did the print's own gate hold" regardless of the transcript flag) and reset every
BeginFrame/AbortFrame; RetailPViewRenderer.DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase gates DrawWeatherOnce on it
instead of re-deriving its own condition.
K3 (minor) — ClipFrame.SetTerrainClip (the terrain OutsideView writer) had no remaining caller after
chunk 4's original round and K4 below; deleted along with IWorldPassSurface.SetTerrainClip,
RhiWorldPassSurface.SetTerrainClip, the now-orphaned PublishTerrainClip helper, and PrepareClipFrame's
terrain-clip publish call. The terrain/sky shaders still declare the TerrainClip UBO (verified:
terrain_modern.vert, terrain_atmospheric.vert, sky.vert all read uTerrainClipCount/uTerrainClipPlanes),
so the section binding itself (WorldFrameSectionBinding.BindTerrainClip) stays — its existing
zeroed-ring fallback (for when nothing published the section) now binds that same all-zero disabled
block on every frame, identical bytes to the old permanent NoClip/Reset default.
K4 (major) — DrawWalkSky still looped the OUTDOOR case once per active landscape view under a doorway
scissor + BindTerrainClip + EnableClipDistances (the INTERIOR case already drew once unclipped, FW4
slice 6). Retail draws GameSky::Draw(sky,0) ONCE, unconditionally, before LScape::draw's block loop,
for both root kinds. Collapsed DrawWalkSky to one unconditional, unclipped draw; deleted
BeginDoorwayScissor and the RetailPViewPassExecutor.EnableClipDistances wrapper (both lost their only
caller). _surface.BeginScissor/EndScissor and IWorldPassSurface.EnableClipDistances stay:
RhiWorldPassSurface.ClearInteriorDepth still ends an active scissor, and WorldScenePassExecutor (the
separate flat-world path) still calls EnableClipDistances directly.
K6 (minor) — the punch-fan CPU/GPU equivalence pin hand-built a ClipViewSlice from ClipPlaneSet.From's
raw output, which could pass even if ClipFrameAssembler.Assemble's own packing/array-construction
diverged from that output. Rewrote it to build a real PortalVisibilityFrame and run it through
ClipFrameAssembler.Assemble, reading the planes back through assembly.OutsideViewSlices[0].Planes —
the exact outsideSlicesList.Add(new ClipViewSlice(slot, AabbOf(poly), planes)) path
ReassembleOutsideViewFromWalk (the walk's real interior-root producer) shares.
K7 (note) — restored the "a real look-in slice never reuses the reserved no-clip slot 0" assertion
the deleted VisibleClipSlotsInLookInTurn used to prove, via a new internal test-only accessor
(WalkFrameDriver.LookInSliceClipSlotAt) reading the same _lookInSlices storage
InteriorFloodViewClipPlanesAt resolves through _clipFrame.GetSlotPlanes(slice.ClipSlot).
K8 (note) — documented in DrawWeatherOnce's own comment that the weather mesh drawing before the rain
particles is this method's own call-order choice; retail's single GameSky::Draw(sky,1) imposes no
order between acdream's two substitutes.
Every new/changed pin's mutation was hand-verified this session (temporarily applied, ran the
specific test, confirmed the exact failing assertion, then reverted — see the parent task's structured
report for the four failing-assertion texts).
No register row added or removed — every change here deletes an acdream-only rule or repairs a pin;
none introduces a new deviation.
Full solution build: 0 warnings/0 errors. App hermetic (Lane!=InstalledDat/PreparedPackage/Live/
Manual/Timing/Windows/Linux/SystemFont & Purpose!=Diagnostic & Status!=KnownFailure): 6831/6831.
InstalledDat: 244 pass/1 skip/4 known — identical to 6ba4b0b87's own baseline (2x #383 layout tests,
TowerAscent, and the pre-existing #458 WalkLandscape.CheckBlocks block-visibility divergence,
unrelated to and untouched by this round).

Two live cdb captures on the paired 2013 client at the Holtburg doorway:
the blockset template (every Render::block_check call of one frame — 2,601
resident blocks x 2 exit views) proves retail tests a9c9 at ring slot
25,46 and returns PARTIALLY then OUTSIDE; the blockcheck template dumps
its four corner interval vectors (0 0 0 0 300.4|310.2 and 0 0 0 1001 ...,
slab 75..330). acdream's replay at the same P pose reproduces the sentinel
pattern, the four edge planes and both verdicts, drawing a9c9 once, with
clip heights 298.8/308.5 m — a 0.5 % plane difference (about 0.35 px of
projected door-vertex position). At the fixture pose that margin is what
flips the south-west corner from inside to outside on the fourth edge
plane, so retail's four-corner unanimity test says OUTSIDE where ours
says PartiallyInside. Not fixable bit-exactly short of D3D's x87
transform; the KnownFailure row stays with its comment rewritten, the
register carries AD-118, and the first filtered capture's silent miss
(cdb sign-extends poi() inside .if; use dwo()) is noted in the template.

Campaign OVERHAUL S3 chunk 4 (docs/research/2026-09-01-overhaul/s3-walk-ownership-map.md §10). Retail
polygon-clips exactly three things on the CPU — portal polygons (PView::GetClip), punch fans
(DrawPortalPolyInternal against building_view), and exit seals (setup_view + polyClipFinish);
ordinary meshes, cell shells, terrain, particles and the weather are never view-clipped. Every
acdream-only clip rule beyond those three is deleted; the two that remain get a new CPU/GPU
equivalence pin.
DELETED (no retail counterpart):
- RetailPViewRenderer.DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase's per-outside-view-slice weather loop
(SetTerrainClip + ClearClipRouting + the old DrawLandscapeSliceLate leaf, one call per active
landscape view) — retail's GameSky::Draw(sky,1) @0x00506ff0 runs ONCE, unclipped, after
LScape::draw's whole block loop. RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawWeatherOnce stays the one call site;
it now also submits the rain particles (ParticleRenderPass.SkyPostScene) as ONE unclipped
submission, folded in from the deleted loop's per-slice clipSlot draw.
- RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawLandscapeSliceLate, RetailPViewLandscapeLateSliceContext,
SetTerrainClip (the walk-level wrapper — its only caller was the deleted loop),
ClearClipRouting (same), SetCellShellClipRouting (already had no caller), and
UseIndoorMembershipOnlyRouting (4 call sites in RetailPViewRenderer.cs) — all "first view clips
the shell" residue: SetCellShellClipRouting was the ONLY place EnvCellRenderer.SetClipRouting
ever received a non-null value anywhere in the app, so once it's gone,
UseIndoorMembershipOnlyRouting's own clear calls are provably permanent no-ops. AbortFrame's
matching TryAbort(SetClipRouting(null))/TryAbort(ClearClipRouting) lines are dropped for the
same reason. KEPT: BeginDoorwayScissor, _surface.BindTerrainClip(), EnableClipDistances/
DisableClipDistances, and IWorldPassSurface.SetTerrainClip/ClipFrame.SetTerrainClip/
PrepareClipFrame's terrain-clip publish — all still have real consumers (DrawWalkSky's per-slice
outdoor sky mesh draw; the always-bound TerrainClip UBO section) or are shared classic (non-walk)
infrastructure out of this chunk's ownership (WorldScenePassExecutor, PortalTunnelPresentation).
- WbDrawDispatcher.WalkClassify.ResolvePartClipSlots (renamed ResolvePartVisible, returns bool) and
RetailWholeMeshSlot: the per-view clip-slot LIST always collapsed to either nothing or one
element (RenderDeviceD3D::DrawMesh @0x005A0860 submits the whole mesh once any view admits it) —
never anything but a Boolean wearing a list-shaped costume. IWalkLookInViewSource.
VisibleClipSlotsInLookInTurn is deleted outright (no consumer besides that collapse);
SphereVisibleInLookInTurn gained VisibleClipSlotsInLookInTurn's own testSphere parameter so the
no-authored-sphere case ("any admitted view, geometry ignored") still has a home.
EmitClassifiedBatches now emits exactly one batch per surviving TryClassifyBatch using the
entity's own classic slot (always 0 while _clipRoutingActive is never armed by the walk path).
- The six ProbeCathedralSkip*/ProbeCathedralShellOrderEnabled discriminators (RenderingDiagnostics,
their six docs/launch-options.md rows, every read site in WalkFrameDriver/
RetailPViewPassExecutor.WalkLeaf/RetailPViewRenderer, and the WalkFrameDriver.
TraceCathedralShellOrder method + RetailPViewRenderer._probeCathedralShellOrderFrame it served) —
the investigation is closed: the cathedral leak is retail behavior, not an acdream defect to
discriminate.
O1-O4 (the ledger's carried chunk-1 items, closed here because this chunk owns the weather path):
IWalkEventSink gains OnWeatherTurn(viewerCellId), fired by RetailFrameWalk.DrawLandscape
UNCONDITIONALLY at retail's own call-site shape (GameSky::Draw(sky,1) is itself unconditional from
LScape::draw; the is_player_outside gate lives inside it) but gated by the walk context's own new
WeatherGateOpen/ViewerCellId members (default false/0, so every other IRetailFrameWalkContext
implementer — test fixtures, the FW1 conformance replay context — is unaffected).
WalkProductionFrameContext wires RetailPViewFrameInput.ViewerCellId and
RetailPViewPassExecutor.ShouldDrawWeatherOnce(RenderSky, RenderWeather, PlayerCellId) into those two
members. WalkFrameDriver.OnWeatherTurn prints the "OC" transcript line at COLLECT time; the print is
removed from DrawWeatherOnce (the DRAW stays there, at Replay). Because DrawLandscape's new call sits
at the very end of the method, an outdoor root's transcript naturally ends with the line and an
interior root's lands strictly between "LS" and the flood's first "EC" — exactly retail's position —
with no extra plumbing.
Kept items each get a synthetic-view CPU/GPU equivalence pin (ClipFrameLayoutTests): exit seals via
the real ClipFrame.AppendSlot/GetSlotPlanes round trip, punch fans via the direct
ClipViewSlice.Planes = cps.PlaneArray assignment ClipFrameAssembler.Assemble uses — both assert every
polygon edge midpoint has ~0 signed distance under the GPU-read-back planes and non-negative distance
under every plane.
Every new pin's mutation was hand-verified this session (temporarily reintroduced, confirmed the
exact failing assertion, then reverted): a duplicated OnWeatherTurn call fails Assert.Single with
"2 matching items" on both the outdoor and interior position tests; suppressing the Collect-time
call fails the same assertions with "did not contain any matching items"; perturbing one GPU plane's
offset by 0.05 fails the exit-seal equivalence pin with "the closest plane was only 0.050000012
away". WalkProductionFrameContextTests pins that the ViewerCellId/WeatherGateOpen storage seam
itself never drops or swaps its own two constructor/Reset arguments.
No register row added or removed — every change here deletes an acdream-only rule; none introduces
a new deviation. Full solution build: 0 warnings/0 errors. App hermetic 6,829/6,829 (was 6,828 base
+ 1 new pin). InstalledDat 244 pass/1 skip/4 known (2x #383, TowerAscent, and the pre-existing #458
WalkLandscape.CheckBlocks block-visibility divergence — unrelated to this chunk, untouched by it).

Campaign OVERHAUL S3 chunk 1 fix round 2 (docs/research/2026-09-01-overhaul/
s3-walk-ownership-map.md §11.6), applied on top of 36be6b598 after the
three-lens re-review. H1-H6, the last round the plan allows.
H1 — the weather OC printed 2-4 times per interior-rooted frame instead of
once: the print (and the `_sky.RenderWeather` mesh draw it sits beside) lived
inside `DrawLandscapeSliceLate`, which `RetailPViewRenderer` calls once per
active `OutsideViewSlices` entry. Moved both into a new
`RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawWeatherOnce`, called ONCE, unclipped/no-scissor,
after the slice loop in `DrawLandscapeDynamicsPhase` — retail's own
`GameSky::Draw(1)` runs once, after `LScape::draw`'s whole landblock loop.
The gate is extracted as a pure `ShouldDrawWeatherOnce(bool,bool,uint)`
predicate (retail's `SmartBox::is_player_outside` ANDed with the two render
toggles) so `RetailPViewPassExecutorTests` can pin "no OC while the player
stands indoors" without a live GL/DAT `SkyRenderer`; two structural
(CompiledCallGraph) tests prove the call moved out of the per-slice loop and
that the mesh draw + print each fire exactly once per invocation — this
codebase has no existing runtime-construction fixture for
`RetailPViewPassExecutor`, so the pin is structural + a testable pure gate
rather than an end-to-end GL drive. One deliberate deviation from the literal
"gated exactly as today": the print now runs through `_sky?.RenderWeather(...)`
(null-conditional, matching every other `_sky?.RenderSky(...)` call site in
this codebase) instead of an explicit `if (_sky is not null)` wrapper — a
missing sky asset no longer also suppresses the transcript print, since the
print's only job is trace fidelity and retail's own `GameSky` is never null.
H2 — WalkFrameDriver's EC-print comment still claimed "EC and OC counts are
always exactly equal"; replaced with the real citation
(holtburg-doorway-still.walk.log:1126,1131,1134,1137 — four EC prints for one
cell across four look-in DC turns), matching WalkTranscriptDump.
PrintEnvCellShell's own comment (already corrected in round 1).
H3 — the eight-kind signature's ORACLE side
(WalkTraceReplayContext.Signature8(WalkOracleFrame)) derived EC/OC from each
DC's cell list — the SAME derivation the REPLAY side's Recorder already used,
so the comparison could never disagree with itself on EC/OC placement or
content (how G7's SC-ordering regression shipped green with LC/SC). Now reads
its own literally captured EC/OC events, excluding only the trailing
per-frame weather OC — refined beyond the spec's literal "last event + P-cell
id" rule with an additional "P cell itself looks outdoor" check, after
cathedral-arrival and foundry-deep both proved the naive rule also strips an
interior root's OWN real trailing object-list turn when its nearest cell (the
reversed flood loop's last draw) happens to be the camera's own root cell.
All four kit-pose rows still reproduce: three exactly; #458 (this round's new
issue, formerly an inline-only note) re-verified at the SAME token index 165
under the new literal comparison.
H4 — OnSortCellTurn ran RequireOpenFrame + two range validations before
testing the flag. Since the hook is print-only (no stream side effect, unlike
OnLandCellTurn's unconditional WalkFrameEvent record), the flag check now
runs FIRST and returns immediately when off — flag-off cost drops to one
interface dispatch per visited land cell.
H5 — launch-options.md's ACDREAM_DUMP_WALK_TRANSCRIPT row: measured
≈1,200-1,400 lines per outdoor frame (terrace-edge 1,384; cathedral-arrival
1,269; doorway 1,187), replacing the earlier "600-800" estimate; documents
H4's residual flag-off interface-dispatch cost.
H6 — filed docs/ISSUES.md #458 for round 1's LOD-boundary land-cell
divergence (previously only an inline test comment); the InstalledDat lane's
known-failure set is now four (two #383 layout tests, TowerAscent, #458) —
confirmed by a clean run.
MUTATION CHECKS (both restored after confirming failure):
- H1: deleting the OC print inside DrawWeatherOnce made
DrawWeatherOnce_DrawsTheWeatherMeshAndPrintsExactlyOnce fail with
"Assert.Single() Failure: The collection did not contain any matching
items".
- H3: reversing AppendFloodTurns (OC before EC) made
Still_fixture_first_frame_reproduces_exactly(cathedral-arrival.walk) fail
("walk diverged from retail (cathedral-arrival.walk)"), diverging at token
index 1241: expected "EC:f4180112" vs actual "OC:f4180112".
Gates: hermetic App suite 6823/6823 passed; InstalledDat lane 244/249 passed

Campaign OVERHAUL S3 chunk 1 fix round 1 (docs/research/2026-09-01-overhaul/
s3-walk-ownership-map.md §11.5), applied on top of 079483bb6 after the
three-lens review. G1-G10, each verified against source and (where the item
adds a pin) mutation-checked.
G1 — the flag-off integration test was vacuous: Collect_TranscriptFlagOff_
ProducesNoConsoleOutput drove ONE frame, and WalkOracleTrace.Parse
structurally discards the last (open) frame, so it passed whether or not
the flag gate worked. Now drives TWO frames and asserts BOTH that Parse
sees zero frames AND that no captured line starts with any of the ten
transcript-kind prefixes (F /P /LS/LC /SC /BLD /DI /DC /EC /OC ) — robust
to unrelated console noise from parallel test classes.
G2 — LC/SC computed LodCellId before testing the flag (~1,300 land-cell
turns/frame of division/modulo/checked-conversion work paid even when the
flag is off). Both OnLandCellTurn and the new OnSortCellTurn now guard the
LodCellId call itself, not just WalkTranscriptDump's internal check.
G3 — the flag-on round trip never exercised LC/SC/BLD (the T2 fixture's
stub 1x1 landscape has zero blocks). New
OutdoorRoot_TranscriptFlagOn_PrintsLandscapeThenLandCellThenSortCellThen
Building_InOrder drives RetailFrameWalk.DrawLandscape directly (the same
deterministic "CY-only" admission technique the existing outdoor LandCell
test uses) over a landscape with one block + one building, and asserts
LS < LC < SC < BLD by position, with the exact cell/building ids.
G4 — the parts/alpha-depth smoke tests asserted FL/PC (Flushes/
DrawCellsSamples) but never AM/PM (MeshAdds/PortalPolyDraws) for the
alpha-depth log, even though PD/DM were already asserted for the parts
log. Added the missing Assert.Contains for MeshAdds and PortalPolyDraws.
G5 — launch-options.md's side-effects column now states the flag off/on
costs explicitly ("one bool read per print site, nothing else" / "one
console line per walk turn, ≈600-800 lines per outdoor frame").
G6 — removed the "DI f4180108... no, a9b4013f" self-correction in
Oh_doorway_still_first_frame_diff's comment; added a one-line note on why
it and Oh_foundry_deep_... stay bespoke Facts rather than folding into the
Theory (no functional reason, just history).
G7 — SC printed from OnLandscapeCellTurn, which RetailFrameWalk.
DrawLandscape calls AFTER DrawBuilding — retail's own order is
LC -> SC -> BLD (terrace-edge.walk.log:2331-2333), not LC -> BLD -> SC.
Fixed by adding IWalkEventSink.OnSortCellTurn, fired at the DrawSortCell
entry point (same alwaysDrawObjects||cellInView gate, before DrawBuilding);
the driver moves its SC print there and OnLandscapeCellTurn no longer
prints one.
G8 — the trailing "OC <viewer land cell>" retail prints once per complete
outdoor frame is GameSky::Draw's weather branch calling
DrawObjCellForDummies(after_sky_cell) @0x005070da, not a walk turn.
RetailPViewPassExecutor.DrawLandscapeSliceLate now prints it at the point
it actually calls RenderWeather; PrintObjectCellTurn's doc, which denied
this line existed, is corrected. New
Oh_terrace_edge_outdoor_frame_ends_with_the_weather_ObjectCellTurn pins
this directly against the OH capture: every complete outdoor frame's last
event is an OC whose cell id equals that same frame's own P-line cell id.
G9 — "EC and OC counts are always exactly equal per pose" was false
(terrace-edge: 12 EC vs 16 OC, the extra 4 being G8's weather OC, which
has no EC counterpart). The visit-scoped/stamp-dedupe conclusion was
right; only the count claim needed fixing. Both doc sites corrected.
G10 — the conformance signature dropped LC/SC/EC/OC entirely, which is
how G7 shipped green: no test ever compared their placement. Recorder now
tracks LC/SC via the new OnLandCellTurn/OnSortCellTurn hooks and derives
EC/OC per DC from PView::DrawCells's own two reverse loops (shell
far-to-near, then object-list far-to-near) — a look-in flood's DC derives
them immediately, the interior root's OWN flood defers to
OnInteriorFloodDrawTurn (verified against cathedral-leak.walk.log:4,1328,
where the root DC's own EC/OC print last). WalkTraceReplayContext.
Signature8 applies the identical derivation to oracle frames and never
produces the trailing weather OC (G8's own dedicated pin covers that
separately, matching the spec's "exclude from the comparison, assert
separately" instruction). Used ONLY for the four OH-capture-rooted
conformance rows (the older FW0 fixtures predate the LC/SC/EC/OC
breakpoints and carry none of those lines).
Applying the eight-kind check surfaced a real, separate bug: WalkLandscape
DatBuilder never set WalkLandBlock.LandblockId, so every LC/SC token any
DAT-built world ever produced read landblockId=0 — latent because the old
four-kind signature filtered LC/SC out. Fixed (one field, test-fixture-
only, no production behavior change). With that fixed, three of the four
OH rows (terrace-edge, cathedral-arrival, foundry-deep) reproduce EXACTLY
at the eight-kind level. Oh_doorway_still_first_frame_diff still diverges
by one extra LC/SC pair (token index 165: replay draws LC:a9c90001|
SC:a9c90001 that retail never does) — a real WalkLandscape.CheckBlocks
visibility question at a ring-2/ring-3 LOD boundary, out of this round's
print-only scope, needing the retail oracle to resolve. Marked
[Trait("Status","KnownFailure")] with the exact position recorded in its
own doc comment, matching TowerAscent's existing pattern — the InstalledDat
lane now shows FOUR known failures (the pre-existing two #383 layout tests
+ TowerAscent, plus this new finding), not three; never weakened the pin
itself.
Mutation checks (all four restored after observing the failure):
- G1: forcing WalkTranscriptDump.Enabled true made
Collect_TranscriptFlagOff_ProducesNoConsoleOutput fail with
"Assert.DoesNotContain() Failure: Filter matched in collection ... Collection:
[\"DI 00000100\", \"DC pv=00000000 ov=1 n=2: 00000100 00000101\", \"LS\", ...]".
- G3: deleting PrintLandCell's Console.WriteLine made the new outdoor test
fail with "expected an LC line".
- G4: making MeshAddPattern unmatchable made all five
Alpha_depth_log_parses_with_nonempty_samples rows fail with
"Assert.Contains() Failure: Filter not matched in collection".
- G7/G10: moving OnSortCellTurn back after DrawBuilding made the
terrace-edge conformance row fail with "walk diverged from retail
(terrace-edge.walk)", first divergence exactly at its first building
(f518002e): expected ...SC:f518002e|BLD:f518002e..., actual
...BLD:f518002e|SC:f518002e....
Gates: hermetic lane 6,816/0 (baseline 6,814 + G3's new test + G8's new
test); InstalledDat lane 244/4 known failures (two pre-existing #383
layout tests + TowerAscent + the new Oh_doorway_still_first_frame_diff
finding, documented above).
