acdream never parsed retail's Sound event, so every server-driven cue was
silent: melee hits and wounds, wield/unwield, pickup/drop, lockpicking,
lifestone bind, spell resist, trap triggers, item mana depletion.
SoundEvent parses the 16-byte message (guid, SoundType, f32 volume) whose
layout three oracles agree on: retail CM_Physics::DispatchSB_SoundEvent
@0x006AC760 reading buf+4/+8/+0xC, ACE's GameMessageSound at declared
length 16, and holtburger's PlaySoundData.
Playback reuses EntityEffectController's existing per-guid queue rather
than adding a second one, because retail routes sounds through the SAME
CObjectMaint blob queue as F754/F755: an event for a guid the client does
not know yet is parked and drained by HandleCreateObject, so a creature
that spawns and immediately grunts still grunts. Dropping it — the
obvious alternative — would silently lose the cue. Sound joins Direct and
Typed as a third PendingEffect kind so one readiness edge releases the
whole mixed stream in order.
AudioHookSink.PlayServerSound reproduces two decoded asymmetries with the
animation-hook path: the sound plays at the WIRE volume and the
SoundTable entry's volume is ignored (the hook path does the opposite),
while the entry's probability still gates it and its priority still
drives eviction. An object with no SoundTable plays nothing, matching
CPhysicsObj::play_sound @0x0050F460's early return.
The no-window host parses and discards, exactly as it does for F754/F755
— sound is presentation.

Move the canonical WorldSession generation, connect/enter/tick/stop transaction, inbound subscription owner, and retryable teardown acknowledgements into AcDream.Runtime. Keep App as a borrowing graphical host with a single inertable command projection and no mirrored session state.
Validated by 79 Runtime tests, 3,776 App tests with three existing skips, the Release solution build, and 8,428 complete Release tests with five existing skips.

Reduce GameWindow.OnUpdate to one typed orchestration call and remove transitive window callbacks from teardown, liveness, teleport placement, live presentation, auto-entry, and entity packet routing. Preserve the frozen retail object/network order while making the production owner graph explicit and testable.
