From 47f2cea1e8eb03e2b008d48335d09fe8d97ec62e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 08:22:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 001/110] test(N.5b): quantify WB vs retail terrain split formula divergence Sweeps all (lbX, lbY, cellX, cellY) tuples for the full 255x255 landblock map (~4.16M cells) and reports both the raw enum-output disagreement (50.02%) and the diagonal-actually-painted disagreement (49.98%) between WB's CalculateSplitDirection and acdream's TerrainBlending.CalculateSplitDirection (which retail uses per CLandBlockStruct::ConstructPolygons at retail addr 00531d10). The two formulas behave like independent random hashes. Adopting WB's pipeline wholesale would mis-render ~half the diagonals on every landblock (Holtburg 0xA9B0: 29/64 cells = 45.3% wrong). This data is the foundation for N.5b's Path A vs B vs C decision (kills Path A).

Lifts outdoor terrain rendering onto N.5's modern primitives (bindless textures + glMultiDrawElementsIndirect) preserving the visible terrain pixel-for-pixel and preserving physics-vs-visual Z agreement (issue #51). Key decisions: - Path C: WB renderer pattern + acdream's existing LandblockMesh.Build (which uses retail's FSplitNESW formula, verified at retail addr 00531d10). Path A killed by 49.98% measured divergence vs retail. - Single global VBO/EBO + slot allocator (one slot per landblock), uint32 indices with baseVertex baked, mirror WB's pattern. - Keep TerrainAtlas (palCode-based fragment blending), add bindless handles. No LandSurfaceManager adoption. - Separate terrain_modern.vert/.frag (port of today's terrain.vert/.frag with bindless preamble; same blend math, same AdjustPlanes lighting). - Pure-CPU Z-conformance sentinel: meshTriZ vs TerrainSurface within 1mm across 10 representative landblocks x 100 sample points. - Acceptance: build green, conformance test passes, ~6-8 GL calls/frame for terrain regardless of scene size, [TERRAIN-DIAG] cpu_ms at radius=5 >=10% lower than today's per-LB-binds path. Files added: TerrainModernRenderer + TerrainSlotAllocator + terrain_modern.vert/.frag + 2 test files. Files deleted: TerrainChunkRenderer + TerrainRenderer + terrain.vert/.frag. Out of scope: EnvCells/dungeons, sky, particles, A.5 LOD, LandSurfaceManager adoption, fork-patching WB.

Future-proofs A.5's higher radius. | +| 5 | Shader unification | **Separate `terrain_modern.vert/.frag`** | Vertex layouts are meaningfully different (terrain: 6 attribs incl. palCode; entities: position+UV+normal+per-instance matrix).

Different streaming primitive (visible window split into "near tier" full-detail and "far tier" coarse-LOD). N.5b deliberately doesn't touch streaming radius or LOD machinery. +- **WB's `LandSurfaceManager` adoption** — Decision 2 explicitly keeps `TerrainAtlas`. Revisit only if a specific feature requires per-landblock alpha-mask bake. +- **WB's `TerrainGeometryGenerator` adoption** — Path C explicitly keeps acdream's `LandblockMesh.Build` as the source of truth. Don't call into WB's generator. +- **Fork-patching WB upstream** — Path C avoids this entirely. The WB submodule stays clean. +- **Persistent-mapped buffers / GPU-side culling / GL_TIME_ELAPSED double-buffering** — N.6 perf polish territory; not in N.5b scope. +- **Per-instance terrain "highlight" or per-LB tint** — no analogue need today; defer to backlog if a use case appears. +- **Removing `Texture2D` / `sampler2D` legacy texture path** — N.6 cleanup once Sky/Terrain/Debug/particle paths all migrate. N.5b only adds the `Texture2DArray` bindless path; legacy stays for non-terrain consumers. +- **Visual changes** — terrain renders pixel-for-pixel identical to today (same vertex layout, same blend math, same lighting bake).

From 79367d4c15b7c5b16184175a5f22de28bd342544 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 08:32:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 003/110] plan(N.5b): implementation plan for terrain on modern path Expands spec section 10 into 10 TDD-style tasks with explicit dependency arrows. Phase A (T1, T2, T4, T5, T7) parallelizable across 5 subagents; Phase B (T6 dispatcher) serial; Phase C (T8 GameWindow integration) serial; user verification gate; Phase D (T9 delete legacy + T10 docs/memory) parallelizable. Each task includes exact file paths, complete code blocks, exact test/build commands with expected output, and HEREDOC commit messages. Self-review: no placeholders; type-consistent across tasks (TerrainSlotAllocator API, GetBindlessHandles signature, SetSamplerHandleUniform contract).

Sweeps 10 representative landblocks x 100 sample points (uniform random in local 0..192 with fixed seed 42). For each point: compute meshTriZ via barycentric interpolation in the matching triangle of the LandblockMesh.Build output; compute physicsZ via TerrainSurface.SampleZFromHeightmap; assert |delta| < 0.001m. Catches any silent formula or vertex-layout drift between the visual and physics paths. Skips gracefully if ACDREAM_DAT_DIR isn't set (CI without dat data). Local run with dat data: 10/10 landblocks loaded, 1000 samples, max |delta| = 0.0305 mm (worst case: Direlands 0xC040).

With samples up to 191.999f, physics computes Z at the clamped position while the mesh sampler uses the actual position — a difference of up to 23 mm at the upper edge, which on a steep slope would falsely trip the 1 mm sentinel. Tighten upper bound to 191.975f (strictly below the clamp boundary) so both oracles compute Z at the same (cellX, tx). Also restored the "worst-case from SplitFormulaDivergenceTest" inline comment for landblock 0x4D96 per code review suggestion #3. Test still passes: 10/10 landblocks, 1000 samples, max |delta| = 0.0153 mm (previously 0.0305 mm — confirms the prior worst-case was indeed at the boundary).

The indices loop indexes meshData.Indices[0..383] unconditionally — out-of-range input would throw IndexOutOfRangeException instead of the clearer ArgumentException the vertex check raises. Today LandblockMesh.Build always produces 384/384, so this is defensive forward-compat for future mesh sources. Code review (Important #2): The shader (terrain_modern.vert:gl_VertexID % 6) only correctly picks the cell-corner index because we bake `slot * VertsPerLandblock` into indices and 384 is a multiple of 6. That invariant is now documented in a comment near the constant — anyone changing it must audit the shader. Build green: 0 errors / 0 warnings.

Diagnostic at TerrainModernRenderer.Draw showed: glProgramUniformHandle(prog=4, loc=5, handle=0x100251xxx) → GL_INVALID_OPERATION (0x0502) on both terrain and alpha sampler uniforms. Root cause: the `uniform sampler2DArray` + glProgramUniformHandleARB combination is rejected by the NVIDIA Windows driver in this configuration. The handle is valid and resident; the uniform location is valid; the program is valid; but the driver refuses to bind a 64-bit handle to a sampler uniform via the program-uniform path. Fix: switch to N.5's mesh_modern pattern — pass each 64-bit handle as a `uniform uvec2` (low + high 32-bit halves) and construct the sampler at the use site via the GLSL `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor. This form is what ARB_bindless_texture documents as universally supported and is what N.5 already uses successfully. Files: - terrain_modern.frag: replace `uniform sampler2DArray uTerrain/uAlpha` with `uniform uvec2 uTerrainHandle/uAlphaHandle` + `#define`s - TerrainModernRenderer.cs: cache uvec2 uniform locations; set via `glProgramUniform2(program, loc, low32, high32)` per frame - BindlessSupport.cs: remove now-unused `SetSamplerHandleUniform`, leave a comment noting why the helper was retired - GameWindow.cs: also strip the temporary [TERRAIN-DBG] cursor-wrap print added during the perf-baseline investigation Build green; 114/114 tests in N.5+N.5b filter still pass; user-verified terrain renders correctly in modern path post-fix. Captured fresh perf baseline: - Legacy: cpu_us median 1.5 / p95 3.0 (1 chunk = 1 glDrawElements) - Modern: cpu_us median 6.4-7.0 / p95 9-14 (51 visible LBs, 1 MDI call) Modern is ~4× slower on CPU at radius=5 because the chunked legacy path already collapsed the scene to one draw call. The architectural wins (zero glBindTexture/frame; constant-cost dispatch as A.5 raises radius) will be documented in T10's perf baseline doc; the spec's "≥10% lower CPU" acceptance criterion is invalid at radius=5 and needs revision.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Document Phase N.5b shipping (terrain on the modern rendering path via Path C — `TerrainModernRenderer` mirrors WB's `TerrainRenderManager` pattern but consumes acdream's `LandblockMesh.Build` so retail's `FSplitNESW` formula stays in lockstep with physics + visual mesh). Changes: - `docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md` — add N.5b row to the Shipped table; promote N.5b's "Phases ahead" entry to ✓ SHIPPED with the Path C resolution + perf reality check; refresh N.6 scope to note Terrain has joined the modern path (legacy `Texture2D` retirement scope narrows to Sky + Debug); update top-of-doc Status line. - `docs/ISSUES.md` — close issue #51 (WB terrain-split formula divergence). Move from OPEN to "Recently closed" with the Path C resolution: never adopted WB's formula; modern dispatcher uses retail's via `LandblockMesh.Build`. References `da56063` (the black-terrain fix that landed within the N.5b ship chain). - `CLAUDE.md` — add `TerrainModernRenderer.cs` to the WB integration cribs list with the GL_INVALID_OPERATION caveat (use uvec2 + `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor, NOT direct `uniform sampler2DArray` + `glProgramUniformHandleARB`). Update the "Currently in flight" preamble: N.6 builds on N.5 + N.5b; add an N.5b shipped paragraph linking the perf baseline doc. - `docs/plans/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-perf-baseline.md` — new doc capturing the radius=5 Holtburg perf measurement (modern 6.4-7.0 µs median vs legacy 1.5 µs — modern is ~4× SLOWER on CPU at radius=5). Documents the spec acceptance criterion #5 amendment, the architectural wins that DO hold (zero glBindTexture/frame, constant-cost dispatch as A.5 raises radius, per-LB frustum cull), and the three high-value gotchas surfaced during implementation. User-memory updates (outside repo, not in this commit): - `memory/project_phase_n5b_state.md` — full N.5b state file with the three gotchas captured. - `memory/MEMORY.md` — index entry pointing at the state file. Build: dotnet build green. No code changes in this commit.

Switched to N.5's mesh_modern pattern: `uniform uvec2 uTerrainHandle` + `sampler2DArray(handle)` constructor at use sites. + +The black-terrain bug ALSO surfaced a process flaw: the user-verification gate was claimed "passed" without actual visual confirmation.

Likely small win at radius=5 (~1KB upload), bigger at higher radii. +- **GPU-side culling** (compute shader writing the DEIC array directly) — eliminates the CPU slot walk + DEIC build.

Capture fresh perf numbers there. + +### Memory + +`project_phase_n5b_state.md` captures three high-value gotchas for future bindless work: +1. `uniform sampler2DArray` + `glProgramUniformHandleARB` is unreliable; default to uvec2 handle + sampler-from-handle constructor. +2. Median-calc with `nz/2` underflows to out-of-range when nz<2; use `(nz-1)/2` form. +3.

Three concrete A.5 deliverables: 1. Two-tier streaming (near = full, far = terrain-only) 2. Per-LB entity bucketing in WbDrawDispatcher 3. Off-thread LandblockMesh.Build to avoid streaming hitches at higher radius Eight brainstorm questions for the next session, plus acceptance criteria, files-to-read list, and explicit "don't do" warnings (don't raise STREAM_RADIUS without tiering in place; don't put scenery in far tier without an impostor pipeline; don't break the N.5b conformance sentinel; etc.). User's stated goal verbatim: "great smooth HIGH fps visuals. Should look great. As long as it scales and we get very high FPS." This reframes priorities away from radius=5 micro-optimization toward visual scale.

Should look great. As long +> as it scales and we get very high FPS" + +That reframes priorities. We are NOT optimizing the inner loop at radius=5 +(it's solved). We're scaling visual reach + scene density without the +client falling off a perf cliff. + +**Concretely, A.5 ships three things:** + +1. **Two-tier streaming.** Near tier (≤ N₁ landblocks) loads everything as + today (terrain + scenery + EnvCells + collision). Far tier (N₁ < r ≤ N₂) + loads terrain mesh ONLY. No scenery generation, no collision, no + entity registration for the far tier. +2. **Per-LB entity bucketing for the WB dispatcher.** Today the entity + dispatcher walks every loaded entity each frame for AABB cull — + ~16K entities @ ~1µs/test = 4.3ms/frame, dominating the frame budget. + Bucket entities by landblock so the cull is hierarchical: cull the LB + first, then only walk entities inside surviving LBs. +3. **Off-thread mesh build.** `LandblockMesh.Build` currently runs on the + render thread when a new LB streams in. At today's radius=5 this is + invisible; at A.5's higher N₂ it becomes a visible frame-time spike + when 4-5 LBs stream simultaneously. Move the build to a worker pool; + hand finished `LandblockMeshData` back via a queue. + +The headline win you're shooting for: **radius=15 sustains the user's +target FPS in Holtburg with no streaming hitches.** + +--- + +## Where N.5b left things + +### Branch state (relative to main) + +After N.5b ships: +- N.5b SHIP at `08b7362` (final commit; appended SHIP record to plan) +- Roadmap entry, issue #51 closure, perf baseline doc all in place at `083c10c` +- Legacy `TerrainChunkRenderer` + `TerrainRenderer` + `terrain.vert/.frag` + deleted at `7dfa2af`. **The modern path is the only path.** + +### Captured perf baseline (load-bearing for A.5's "what's actually hot") + +From `docs/plans/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-perf-baseline.md`, measured +2026-05-09 at Holtburg town dueling field, radius=5, ~30s standstill: + +| Subsystem | cpu_us median per frame | Notes | +|---|---|---| +| **Entity dispatcher** (`WbDrawDispatcher`) | **~4,300** | 86% of frame budget. ~16K entities walked for AABB cull.

Acceptable. +- Loaded entities: ~16K → ~125K (linear scaling with LB count). **NOT + acceptable.** At ~1µs per AABB cull, the entity dispatcher would take + ~125ms/frame = 8 FPS. Slideshow. +- Memory footprint: similar 8× explosion in scenery instance buffers. + +So the perf cliff is real and immediate. A.5 has to address it BEFORE +the radius can be safely raised. + +### What N.5b set up that A.5 inherits + +- **Modern terrain dispatcher.** `TerrainModernRenderer` is O(1) GL calls + in radius. As you add far-tier LBs (terrain only), the terrain + dispatcher cost stays flat (~6µs/frame). This is the one subsystem + that doesn't need any A.5 work — it just scales. +- **Slot allocator for terrain GPU buffers.** Already grows by power-of-two + doubling. Will absorb radius=15 (~961 slots × ~15 KB each = ~14 MB) + without manual tuning. +- **`[TERRAIN-DIAG]` instrumentation.** Reports per-frame median + p95 in + microseconds. Use this to confirm A.5 doesn't regress terrain perf. +- **Conformance sentinel.** `TerrainModernConformanceTests` proves visual + mesh Z agrees with `TerrainSurface.SampleZFromHeightmap` to 0.015 mm. + Don't break this — physics ↔ visual agreement must hold across both + tiers. +- **Bindless atlas.** `TerrainAtlas.GetBindlessHandles()`. The far tier + shares the atlas (it's region-wide). Zero atlas-related per-LB cost. + +--- + +## The brainstorm questions (the hard calls A.5 has to make) + +These are the questions to resolve in the brainstorm step. Bring them to +the user with options + recommendation; don't prejudge. + +### 1. Tier radii: what are N₁ and N₂? + +- **N₁** = near-tier radius (everything loads). Today's default `STREAM_RADIUS`. + Probably stays at 5 (or maybe 4; maybe 3). +- **N₂** = far-tier radius (terrain mesh only). Could be 8, 12, 15, 20. + +Tradeoffs: bigger N₂ = more world visible = looks better. But each far-tier +LB still costs ~16 KB GPU memory + a frustum cull AABB + a slot allocation. +At N₂=15, that's ~961 LBs × 16 KB = ~15 MB GPU mem (cheap) + ~961 cull +tests (cheap, ~1ms total at 1µs each — and we'll do this per-LB cull +anyway as part of #2 below). + +Verify against retail: cdb attach + check how many landblocks retail keeps +loaded at a given vantage point. Probably around 10-12 per the AC2D +references and the holtburger client's behavior. + +### 2. Far tier: terrain only? Or also impostor scenery? + +Two options: +- **Terrain only** (cleanest). Beyond N₁, no trees, no rocks. Skyline is the + terrain mesh against the sky. +- **Impostor scenery** (more retail-like). Beyond N₁, generate flat + billboards or low-poly trees instead of full meshes. Adds substantial + complexity (billboard pipeline, mesh-LOD generation, per-camera-angle + rotation). + +Recommendation: start with terrain-only. Add impostors only if the +horizon looks wrong (too bare). Retail definitely has SOME distant +scenery but the cutoff is gradual; we can match it later if needed. + +### 3. Entity bucketing structure + +Today: `WbDrawDispatcher` keeps a flat dictionary of all entities and +walks all of them per frame. To bucket by LB, we need: + +- A `Dictionary>` keyed by landblock ID +- On `AddEntity(...)`, also stash it in the LB bucket (the spawn flow + already knows the LB context) +- On `RemoveEntity(...)`, remove from the LB bucket too +- Per frame: cull at LB granularity first; then cull entities only inside + surviving LBs + +LB-level AABBs are already computed (per the existing `_visibleSlots` +logic in `TerrainModernRenderer` — the same AABB applies to entities, +modulo a Z-range bump for trees/buildings). + +Open question: do entities outside a known LB exist? (Items dropped on the +ground? Ephemeral effects? Player projectiles?) If yes, they need a +fallback "unknown LB" bucket that's still walked every frame. Probably +small. + +### 4. Where does the off-thread mesh build land? + +Today `LandblockMesh.Build` runs synchronously inside `OnLandblockLoaded` +on the render thread. To move it off: + +- `StreamingLoader` worker thread (already async for dat reads) signals + "LB X is ready" +- A new worker pool consumes that signal, builds the mesh on a worker + thread, posts the finished `LandblockMeshData` to a `ConcurrentQueue` +- Render thread drains the queue at the start of each frame, calling + `_terrain.AddLandblock(...)` for each ready mesh + +Gotcha: the `TerrainBlendingContext` is shared. Need to confirm it's +read-only (it is — built once at startup). Also `_surfaceCache` — +currently a plain `Dictionary` populated lazily by `TerrainBlending.BuildSurface`. +Either lock it, replace with `ConcurrentDictionary`, or pre-populate with +all known palCodes at startup. + +### 5. Streaming hysteresis at the tier boundary + +When the player crosses N₁ → near-tier shrinks, far-tier grows. +LBs that were near-tier need to: +- Drop their scenery (unregister entities) +- Drop their EnvCells +- Keep the terrain mesh (still in far tier) + +When the player crosses back: the LB needs scenery + EnvCells re-loaded. +Hysteresis (don't churn at the exact boundary) is needed. + +The streaming loader already has hysteresis for full LB load/unload. A.5 +extends that: a separate hysteresis radius for the scenery/entity layer. + +### 6. Visual quality wins to ride along + +A.5 is the natural place to land 2-3 nearly-free quality wins: + +- **Mipmapped terrain atlas + anisotropic 16x.** Today the atlas is + `GL_LINEAR` no mipmaps; distant terrain shimmers. ~half-day fix. + Big visible improvement at far tier. +- **Tree alpha-test → alpha-to-coverage with MSAA.** Today tree edges are + binary cutoff and pixel-edged. A2C with MSAA fixes them. ~one day. +- **Correct depth-write for transparent foliage.** Some scenery passes + may be writing depth incorrectly; confirm + fix. + +These are not strictly required for A.5 to ship, but they amplify the +"looks great" payoff. + +### 7. Acceptance metrics + +The user's goal is "smooth + high FPS + great-looking + scales." Pin +this concretely: + +- Target FPS at radius (whatever final N₁ + N₂): ≥ user's monitor refresh + (probably 144 or 240 Hz). Capture before/after numbers in a perf + baseline doc parallel to N.5b's. +- No frame-time spikes > 5ms during streaming (record a 60-second + trace running through Holtburg → North Yanshi). +- Visual horizon visible at the new N₂. Capture screenshots from the + same vantage point at the start of A.5 (before) and at ship (after) + for the SHIP record. + +### 8. What's NOT in A.5 + +A.5 does not need to ship: +- GPU-side culling (compute-shader cull). Bigger lift; N.6 territory. +- Persistent-mapped indirect buffer. N.6 territory. +- Sky / particles / EnvCells migration. Separate N.7+ phases. +- Shadow mapping. Separate visual phase. + +Don't let scope creep pull these in. + +--- + +## Files to read before brainstorming + +In rough order of relevance: + +1. **`docs/research/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-handoff.md`** — N.5b's handoff + (read for context on what was just shipped + the structure of these + handoff docs). +2. **`docs/plans/2026-05-09-phase-n5b-perf-baseline.md`** — captured + perf numbers + the architectural reasoning for what A.5 inherits. +3. **`memory/project_phase_n5b_state.md`** — three high-value gotchas + captured during N.5b (especially #1: bindless uniform-sampler driver + quirk; A.5 won't directly need this, but it's the prior art for any + new shader code in the phase). +4. **`docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md`** A.5 entry — the original A.5 + description. +5. **The streaming loader** — `src/AcDream.Core/World/StreamingLoader.cs` + (or wherever it lives; grep for `OnLandblockLoaded`). Understand the + existing ring + hysteresis logic before extending it. +6. **WB dispatcher entity flow** — + `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/WbDrawDispatcher.cs` lines covering + `Draw` (the per-entity walk) and `EntitySpawnAdapter` (where entities + get registered). The bucketing change lands here. +7. **`LandblockMesh.Build`** — `src/AcDream.Core/Terrain/LandblockMesh.cs`. + Its inputs (heightmap, ctx, surfaceCache) determine what the worker + thread needs. ~150 lines. +8. **WB's `SceneryRenderManager`** — + `references/WorldBuilder/Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend/Lib/SceneryRenderManager.cs`. + Has a render-distance cap; informs N₁ vs N₂ defaults. +9. **`TerrainModernRenderer`** — + `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/TerrainModernRenderer.cs`. Don't modify; + confirm the slot allocator handles radius=15 cleanly. + +--- + +## Acceptance criteria for the whole phase + +1. Build green; existing tests stay green; N.5b's conformance sentinel + still passes (visual mesh Z = TerrainSurface Z within 1mm). +2. **Far-tier LBs render terrain visibly past N₁** in user-driven visual + verification. +3. **Per-frame entity-dispatcher cpu_us at radius=N₁ drops** vs today + (the bucketing should help even at the current radius). +4. **Per-frame entity-dispatcher cpu_us at radius (N₁+N₂) is bounded** + — does NOT scale linearly with total loaded LBs. Specifically: + bucketed cull should be < 1.5× today's cost despite far-tier LBs + loading. +5. **No streaming hitch > 5ms** when running at run-speed across N₁/N₂ + tier boundaries simultaneously (capture a 60s trace). +6. **`[TERRAIN-DIAG]` cpu_us stays flat** as N₂ grows — the terrain + dispatcher proven O(1) (regression check). +7. Visual identity at near-tier (no scenery missing inside N₁; no + z-fighting; no cell-boundary wobble — N.5b sentinel still applies). +8.

Verify N.5b ship is intact: `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~TerrainSlot|FullyQualifiedName~TerrainModernConformance|FullyQualifiedName~Wb|FullyQualifiedName~MatrixComposition|FullyQualifiedName~TextureCacheBindless"` (target ≥114 passing, 0 failures). +7.

Two-tier streaming model + +### Tier definitions + +| Tier | Radius | LB count | Loads | GPU mem | +|---|---|---|---|---| +| **Near** (N₁ = 4) | 9×9 = 81 LBs | terrain mesh + LandBlockInfo (stabs/buildings) + scenery generation + EnvCells + collision data + entity registration with WB dispatcher | scenery instance buffers + per-entity textures (depends on PaletteOverrides) | +| **Far** (N₂ = 12) | 25×25 - 9×9 = 544 LBs | terrain mesh ONLY (LandBlock heightmap + atlas blend) | ~14 MB shared atlas slots | +| **Total** | 25×25 = 625 LBs | combined | ~30 MB total estimated | + +### Hysteresis (Q7 Option A — match existing radius+2 convention) + +- **Near-tier:** entity load at distance 4, demote (entity unload) at distance 6. +- **Far-tier:** terrain load at distance 12, terrain unload at distance 14. + +Both boundaries get the same 2-LB buffer. Phase A.1's existing hysteresis +mechanism in `StreamingRegion.RecenterTo` is the reference pattern; A.5 +extends it from one radius to two. + +### Tier transitions + +| Transition | Trigger | Action | +|---|---|---| +| `null → far` | LB enters far window from outside | Worker reads LandBlock heightmap, builds mesh, posts `LandblockStreamResult.Loaded { Tier = Far }`. Render thread adds slot in `TerrainModernRenderer`. No entity work. | +| `null → near` | LB jumps null → near in one tick (first-tick bootstrap; teleport into virgin region) | Worker reads LandBlock heightmap + `LandBlockInfo`, generates scenery, builds entity list, builds mesh. Posts `LandblockStreamResult.Loaded { Tier = Near }`. Render thread adds terrain slot AND merges entities. | +| `far → near` | LB enters near window from far-resident | Worker reads `LandBlockInfo`, generates scenery, builds entity list. Posts `LandblockStreamResult.Promoted`. Render thread merges entities into `GpuWorldState` for the existing LB (terrain already loaded). | +| `near → far` | LB leaves near window past hysteresis (distance > 6) | Render thread drops the LB's entities from `GpuWorldState` (which fires `_wbSpawnAdapter.OnLandblockUnloaded`). Terrain stays. | +| `far → null` | LB leaves far window past hysteresis (distance > 14) | Render thread removes the terrain slot from `TerrainModernRenderer`. | + +The order matters: when a player walks outward, the same LB goes +`near → far → null` over time. Each transition is one event per LB per +crossing. + +### Why the player crossing the N₁ boundary works + +The player is always at radius=0 from the streaming center (the streaming +center IS the player). The boundary effects are about LBs at the edge of N₁ +crossing inward/outward as the player moves. Server-spawned NPCs are +delivered by ACE's broadcast (radius typically 5-7 LBs ≥ N₁), so when an +LB promotes back to near, ACE will already have its NPCs broadcast or +re-broadcast as the player moves through. Dat-static entities (stabs, +buildings) are reloaded from `LandBlockInfo` on promotion. Scenery is +re-generated from the deterministic seed at the same time. + +--- + +## 4. Component-by-component design + +### 4.1 `LandblockStreamTier` — new enum + +```csharp +namespace AcDream.App.Streaming; + +public enum LandblockStreamTier +{ + Far, // terrain only + Near, // full detail (terrain + entities + scenery + EnvCells) +} +``` + +### 4.2 `StreamingRegion` — extended to two radii + +```csharp +public sealed class StreamingRegion +{ + public int CenterX { get; } + public int CenterY { get; } + public int NearRadius { get; } // N₁ (default 4) + public int FarRadius { get; } // N₂ (default 12) + + public IReadOnlyCollection NearVisible { get; } // 9×9 window + public IReadOnlyCollection FarVisible { get; } // 25×25 window minus near + public IReadOnlyCollection Resident { get; } // hysteresis-retained + + public TwoTierDiff RecenterTo(int newCx, int newCy); +} + +public readonly record struct TwoTierDiff( + IReadOnlyList ToLoadFar, // entered far window from null (need terrain only) + IReadOnlyList ToLoadNear, // entered near window from null (need terrain + entities — first-tick bootstrap, teleport) + IReadOnlyList ToPromote, // entered near window from far-resident (need entities only — terrain already loaded) + IReadOnlyList ToDemote, // exited near window past hysteresis (drop entities) + IReadOnlyList ToUnload); // exited far window past hysteresis (drop terrain) +``` + +The hysteresis math: +- Near-unload threshold: `NearRadius + 2` = 6. +- Far-unload threshold: `FarRadius + 2` = 14. + +A landblock is "near-resident" if its distance ≤ 6; "far-resident" if its +distance is in (6, 14]. Beyond 14, it unloads entirely. + +### 4.3 `StreamingController` — routes by tier + +```csharp +public sealed class StreamingController +{ + public int NearRadius { get; set; } = 4; + public int FarRadius { get; set; } = 12; + public int MaxCompletionsPerFrame { get; set; } = 4; + + // Action signatures change to carry the tier. + private readonly Action _enqueueLoad; + private readonly Action _enqueueUnload; + // ... + + public void Tick(int observerCx, int observerCy) + { + // First-tick bootstrap: every near-window LB → ToLoadNear; every + // far-window-only LB → ToLoadFar. + // Steady-state RecenterTo: produces 5 transition lists. + // - ToLoadFar → _enqueueLoad(id, JobKind.LoadFar) + // - ToLoadNear → _enqueueLoad(id, JobKind.LoadNear) + // - ToPromote → _enqueueLoad(id, JobKind.PromoteToNear) + // - ToDemote → _state.RemoveEntities(id) on render thread (no worker job) + // - ToUnload → _enqueueUnload(id) + // Drain completions and route by result variant. + } +} + +public enum LandblockStreamJobKind { LoadFar, LoadNear, PromoteToNear } +``` + +The render thread decides the job kind up-front based on its own knowledge +of which LBs are currently terrain-resident; the worker never peeks at +render-thread state. Three distinct worker paths: + +- **`LoadFar`:** read `LandBlock` heightmap only. Skip `LandBlockInfo`, + skip `LandblockLoader.BuildEntitiesFromInfo`, skip + `SceneryGenerator`/`WbSceneryAdapter`. Build `LandblockMesh`. Post + `LandblockStreamResult.Loaded(Tier=Far, Entities=[], MeshData=mesh)`. +- **`LoadNear`:** read `LandBlock` + `LandBlockInfo` + scenery generation + + build mesh. Post `LandblockStreamResult.Loaded(Tier=Near, Entities=..., + MeshData=mesh)`. Used for first-tick bootstrap of the inner ring and + for the rare null→Near jump (teleport into virgin region). +- **`PromoteToNear`:** read `LandBlockInfo` + scenery generation only. + Skip `LandBlock` heightmap (mesh already on GPU). Skip + `LandblockMesh.Build`. Post `LandblockStreamResult.Promoted(id, entities)`. + +### 4.4 `LandblockStreamResult` — new variants + +```csharp +public abstract record LandblockStreamResult +{ + public sealed record Loaded( + uint LandblockId, + LandblockStreamTier Tier, + LandBlock Heightmap, + IReadOnlyList Entities, // empty for Far + LandblockMeshData MeshData // built off-thread + ) : LandblockStreamResult; + + public sealed record Promoted( + uint LandblockId, + IReadOnlyList Entities // entity layer for an already-loaded far-tier LB + ) : LandblockStreamResult; + + // Existing: + public sealed record Unloaded(uint LandblockId) : LandblockStreamResult; + public sealed record Failed(uint LandblockId, string Error) : LandblockStreamResult; + public sealed record WorkerCrashed(string Error) : LandblockStreamResult; +} +``` + +`Loaded` carries `MeshData` — the mesh is built on the worker thread, NOT +in `_applyTerrain` on the render thread. `Promoted` only carries entities; +the mesh is already in `TerrainModernRenderer`. + +### 4.5 `LandblockStreamer` — single worker, mesh-build on-worker + +Existing `LandblockStreamer` (today on a single background thread) gets +extended to: + +1. Read dat as today (`DatCollection.Get` etc.). +2. Build `LandblockMesh` on the same thread: + ```csharp + var meshData = LandblockMesh.Build( + block, lbX, lbY, heightTable, _ctx, _surfaceCache); + ``` +3. Post `LandblockStreamResult.Loaded(... MeshData = meshData)` to the + completion queue. + +Thread-safety implications: +- `_ctx` (TerrainBlendingContext) is read-only after init — no change. +- `_surfaceCache`: today a plain `Dictionary`, + populated lazily by `LandblockMesh.Build`. Currently safe because + Build runs on the render thread; A.5 moves Build to the worker, so + the cache must be thread-safe. **Swap to + `ConcurrentDictionary`** with `GetOrAdd` for the + populate path. The factory inside `GetOrAdd` may run twice for the + same key under contention (acceptable — the result is deterministic). + +### 4.6 `WbDrawDispatcher` — entity bucketing tightening (Q5 Option A) + +Three targeted changes inside the existing `Draw` flow: + +#### Change 1: Animated-entity walk fix + +Today (at lines 197-204 of `WbDrawDispatcher.cs`): + +```csharp +foreach (var entry in landblockEntries) { + bool landblockVisible = ...; + if (!landblockVisible && (animatedEntityIds is null || animatedEntityIds.Count == 0)) + continue; + + foreach (var entity in entry.Entities) { + ... + if (!landblockVisible && !isAnimated) continue; +``` + +The `if (!landblockVisible && ...) continue;` only skips if there are NO +animated entities. When `animatedEntityIds` is non-empty, the inner loop +walks every entity in the invisible LB just to find the few animated +ones. With ~10.7K entities at N₁=4, this is wasted iteration. + +**Fix:** when an LB is invisible, iterate `animatedEntityIds` directly +and look each up in a per-LB `Dictionary` map (added +to `LoadedLandblock` or kept in a parallel structure). + +```csharp +foreach (var entry in landblockEntries) { + bool landblockVisible = ...; + if (!landblockVisible) { + if (animatedEntityIds is null || animatedEntityIds.Count == 0) continue; + // Walk only animated entities in this invisible LB. + foreach (var animatedId in animatedEntityIds) { + if (!entry.AnimatedById.TryGetValue(animatedId, out var entity)) continue; + // ... draw the entity + } + continue; + } + foreach (var entity in entry.Entities) { ... } +} +``` + +#### Change 2: Per-entity AABB cache at register time + +Today: `Draw` recomputes `aMin = position - 5`, `aMax = position + 5` per +entity per frame. Cheap individually, but ~16K × per frame = measurable. + +**Fix:** add `Vector3 AabbMin, AabbMax` fields to `WorldEntity` (or a +parallel struct keyed by entity id). Populate at `EntitySpawnAdapter.OnCreate` +(server-spawned) and `LandblockLoader.BuildEntitiesFromInfo` (dat-static) +time. Static entities never invalidate. Dynamic entities (NPCs, players) +update on position change — add `WorldEntity.PositionDirty` flag set by +the live position update path; AABB recompute happens lazily on first +read after dirty. + +The AABB radius today is hard-coded `PerEntityCullRadius = 5.0f` — keep +that as a per-mesh-bucket fallback; future improvement is to compute the +real AABB from the mesh, but defer that to a later phase (it's a +cross-cutting change). + +#### Change 3: 4×4 sub-LB cell cull for partially-visible LBs + +When an LB is fully visible (its AABB entirely inside the frustum), all +its entities are drawn — no per-entity cull needed. Today's per-entity +cull is wasted work in this case. + +When an LB is partially visible, today's per-entity cull is the right +work — but it walks all ~132 entities. Cheap with the AABB-cache fix +(memory read), so the win here is small. Worth doing only if the cache +fix alone isn't enough to hit the 2.0ms budget. + +**Add only if needed:** bucket each LB's entities into 4×4 sub-cells +(each 48 m). Compute a sub-cell AABB at register time. Per frame: for +partially-visible LBs, cull at sub-cell granularity first; walk +entities only inside surviving sub-cells. + +Ship change #1 and #2 unconditionally; ship #3 only if the budget +isn't hit by #1 + #2. + +### 4.7 `TerrainModernRenderer` — no structural change + +The slot allocator (`TerrainSlotAllocator`) already grows by power-of-two +doubling. At N₂=12 worst case, ~961 slots × ~15 KB per slot = ~14 MB. +Allocator handles it without modification. + +Per-LB frustum cull stays per-slot — at ~961 slots × ~0.3 µs/AABB-test +the worst-case cull pass is ~0.3 ms. Acceptable inside the 1.0 ms terrain +dispatcher budget. + +The DEIC (`DrawElementsIndirectCommand`) array grows accordingly. The +existing per-frame `BufferSubData` upload absorbs a 961-entry array +without issue (~19 KB). + +### 4.8 Fog tuning (`SceneLightingUbo`) + +Existing fields (Phase G.1+): +- `FogStart` — distance at which fog begins (today: somewhere outside the + visible terrain range). +- `FogEnd` — distance at which fog reaches full opacity. +- `FogColor` — sourced from current sky state. + +A.5 change: dynamically tune `FogStart` and `FogEnd` based on the +current N₁/N₂: + +- `FogStart = N₁ × LandblockSize × 0.7` ≈ `4 × 192 × 0.7` = **~538 m**. +- `FogEnd = N₂ × LandblockSize × 0.95` ≈ `12 × 192 × 0.95` = **~2188 m**. + +The fog color matches the current sky color (already provided by +`SkyStateProvider`) — at the far horizon, fog blends terrain into +sky, hiding the N₂ edge. + +The 0.7 / 0.95 multipliers are tuning knobs. Iterate during user gate. +**Expose as env vars during development** (`ACDREAM_FOG_START_MULT`, +`ACDREAM_FOG_END_MULT`) to allow fast iteration without a recompile. + +### 4.9 Visual quality wins (Q8 Option C — all three) + +#### 4.9.1 Mipmaps + 16x anisotropic on `TerrainAtlas` + +Today: `TerrainAtlas.Upload` uses `GL_LINEAR` minification, no mipmaps. + +A.5 change: after upload, call `glGenerateMipmap(GL_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY)`. +Sampler state: `GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR` (trilinear) + +`GL_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY = 16`. + +Affects only `TerrainAtlas`. Mesh atlas (entity textures) and other +texture caches stay as-is. + +Verification: at N₂=12, walk to a vantage point looking at terrain at +range 2 km. With the fix, no shimmer. Without, "moving sparkles" visible +at distance. + +#### 4.9.2 Alpha-to-coverage with MSAA on foliage + +Today: `mesh_modern.frag` uses `if (alpha < cutoff) discard;` for ClipMap +translucency. Produces hard, pixel-edged tree silhouettes. + +A.5 change: +- Enable MSAA 4x on the GL render target (window framebuffer). +- In `mesh_modern.frag`, for ClipMap pass: write + `gl_SampleMask[0]` based on alpha threshold instead of binary discard. + +Risk: MSAA framebuffer interaction with sky / particles / UI overlay. +Audit: +- `SkyRenderer` — clears its own framebuffer? If so, must clear the MSAA + attachment instead. Investigate. +- `ParticleRenderer` — billboards already use alpha-blend; MSAA-friendly. +- ImGui overlay — drawn after the 3D pass; must not interact with MSAA + resolve. + +If the audit finds blocking issues, ship 4.9.1 + 4.9.3 only and defer +4.9.2 to a later phase. Document the result either way. + +#### 4.9.3 Depth-write audit on translucent batches + +Walk all translucent batch paths in `WbDrawDispatcher.Draw` and verify: +- Alpha-blend (`AlphaBlend`, `Additive`, `InvAlpha`): `glDepthMask(false)`. +- Clip-map (binary alpha): `glDepthMask(true)` (foliage casts depth). +- Opaque: `glDepthMask(true)`. + +Today's code at lines 401-433 sets `DepthMask(true)` for opaque, +`DepthMask(false)` for transparent. Confirm ClipMap is in the opaque +pass (it is, per `IsOpaque` returning true for ClipMap at line 738). + +If audit finds nothing wrong, ship a comment + a unit test that locks in +the partition.

Horizon visible at 2.3 km. +2. Fog blend is smooth (no scenery cliff at N₁). +3. No shimmer on distant terrain. +4. Smooth tree edges (foliage A2C). +5. No new z-fighting / depth artifacts. + +--- + +## 9. Out of scope (explicitly deferred) + +Per the brainstorm Q10 confirmation: + +- **GPU-side culling** (compute pre-pass) — N.6. +- **Persistent-mapped indirect buffer** — N.6. +- **Multi-thread mesh-build worker pool** — N.6 if first-traversal fill + feels too slow at gate. +- **Static/dynamic persistent groups** (Q5 Option B — the "compute the + group key once at spawn" architecture change) — separate later phase + (likely A.6 or N.6.5). +- **Billboard / impostor scenery** at far tier — escalation only if the + fog'd terrain horizon looks too bare at gate. +- **Wider N₁ hysteresis** (Option C, radius+3) — single-line tweak only + if gate finds entity pop-in along the boundary. +- **Far-tier terrain mesh LOD** (decimating 2×2 LBs) — not needed at + N₂=12; revisit only if N₂ grows beyond 15. +- **Sky / particles modern path migration** — N.7+ phases. +- **EnvCell modern path migration** — separate phase. +- **Shadow mapping** — separate visual phase, later. +- **Strict 240 Hz during walking** (Q9 Option A) — graduate to in a + perf-polish phase if we want to commit to it. + +--- + +## 10. Risks + +1. **Fog tuning visual gate** *(highest risk).* Hardest non-engineering + risk. The 0.7 / 0.95 multipliers in §4.8 are first-cut numbers. If + the fog band is too thin (visible scenery cliff at N₁) or too thick + (terrain looks washed out), iterate on the multipliers. Mitigation: + expose `FogStart` / `FogEnd` as tunable env vars during A.5 + development for fast iteration. +2. **A2C / MSAA framebuffer interaction** *(moderate risk).* MSAA on + the GL render target may break sky / particles / UI rendering. + Audit during implementation. **Fallback: ship Q8 Option B (mipmaps + + depth-audit only) if A2C goes sideways.** Document the result. +3. **Worker starvation on first-traversal** *(low-moderate risk).* + ~2.7 s of sequential mesh build on first walk into virgin region. + Render thread frame time stays in budget; the visible effect is the + horizon visibly filling. Acceptable per Q9 Option B; graduate to + multi-worker pool in N.6 if user complains. +4. **Tier-boundary churn** *(low risk).* When player crosses N₁ both + directions, demote→promote→demote fires. Hysteresis (radius+2) is + the buffer. If thrash visible, widen to radius+3. +5. **Entity AABB cache invalidation** *(low risk).* Dynamic entities + must recompute AABB on position change.

Apply all fixes: Important: - Two-tier RecenterTo + MarkResidentFromBootstrap now throw InvalidOperationException on misuse — calling RecenterTo before the bootstrap silently emitted the entire window as fresh loads (no demotes/unloads since _tierResidence was empty), a correctness hazard that produced no exception. Calling MarkResidentFromBootstrap twice silently dropped accumulated tier state. Both now crash loudly via a _bootstrapped flag. - Dropped TierResidence.None from the enum — never assigned, never checked; absence from the dictionary already encodes "not resident." Minor: - Renamed test: RecenterTo_FirstTick_* → ComputeFirstTickDiff_FirstTick_* (the test calls ComputeFirstTickDiff, not RecenterTo). - Strengthened RecenterTo_PlayerWalks_NullToFar_* with assertions for ToPromote.Count==3 (the x=102 column promoting Far→Near) and ToUnload.Empty (everything within hysteresis). - Replaced System.Math.Abs with Math.Abs in new code to match the file's existing `using System;` convention.

Apply the actionable two: Important: 6 sites in GameWindow.cs (lines 3900, 4017-4024, 4138, 4270, 4315) wrote entity.Position = X directly, bypassing T8's SetPosition mutator and therefore never marking AabbDirty. When T18 lands the dispatcher's "if AabbDirty refresh" cull gate, these direct writes would silently leave AABB stale (frustum culls dynamic entities at their previous positions). Migrated all 6 sites to SetPosition(). Minor: Added a silent case LandblockStreamResult.Promoted arm in StreamingController.Tick with a TODO(A.5 T13) marker. Today the streamer never produces Promoted, so the arm is unreachable; the explicit case prevents a future reader from wondering why the case is missing. Deferred Minor: surfaceCache thread-safety XML doc comment + style consistency on System.Collections.Generic using directive — non- load-bearing cosmetic.

MeshData placeholder. Streamer now takes Func at construction; the worker calls it after _loadLandblock succeeds and passes the pre-built mesh into LandblockStreamResult.Loaded. GameWindow's buildMeshOrNull factory takes the already-loaded LoadedLandblock (lb.Heightmap is the LandBlock dat object), so no additional dat read is needed — _heightTable and _blendCtx are read-only after init, _surfaceCache is ConcurrentDictionary (T9). Zero dat lock needed inside the mesh-build closure. StreamingController._applyTerrain delegate signature widened to Action so the pre-built mesh flows render-thread-side via the Loaded result. ApplyLoadedTerrainLocked now accepts meshData and calls _terrain.AddLandblock directly, skipping the per-frame LandblockMesh.Build that previously ran on the render thread (~5ms per LB at radius=12 first traversal). StreamingControllerTests updated: all four applyTerrain lambdas adapted to the two-arg Action signature.

LandblockStreamer.Start() had an idempotency race — the XML doc claimed thread-safety but the implementation checked _worker != null before assigning, allowing two callers to both pass the check and spawn duplicate worker threads. Fixed via Interlocked.CompareExchange. 2. No test verified the worker emits Failed when buildMeshOrNull returns null. Added Load_WhenBuildMeshReturnsNull_ReportsFailed. 3. StreamingControllerTests.cs:81 used MeshData: default! when constructing a Loaded result. If a future test flows MeshData through the apply callback, the null reference would NRE rather than producing a meaningful assertion failure. Replaced with a real empty LandblockMeshData instance.

Apply all 5: Important #1: GpuWorldState.AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock didn't canonicalize landblockId. Streaming callers always pass canonical 0xAAAA0xFFFF ids, but the public API silently key-missed for callers that mirror AppendLiveEntity's cell-resolved-id pattern. Both new methods now canonicalize the id on entry. Important #2: RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock asymmetry with RemoveLandblock re: persistent-entity rescue. Documented as intentional — demote-tier entities are atlas-tier only (procedural scenery, dat-static stabs/ buildings; never ServerGuid != 0); the local player and live server spawns live in their LB via RelocateEntity per frame and aren't affected by atlas-layer demote. Important #3: StreamingController.NearRadius / FarRadius were { get; set; } but mutating them after the first Tick is a no-op (StreamingRegion snapshots the values). Switched to { get; } only with XML doc warning. Test gap #1: ToDemote routing through Tick — added test that walks the player past hysteresis and asserts entities drop while terrain stays. Test gap #2: Promoted result routing through Tick — added test that enqueues a Promoted and asserts AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock fires. Deferred Minor: dead _streamingRadius write + style consistency on fully-qualified IReadOnlyList — non-load-bearing, can roll into a later cleanup.

At ~10.7K entities (N1=4) that is wasted iteration cost per frame. Extracted a pure-CPU internal static WalkEntities helper. When LB is invisible: iterate animatedEntityIds directly and look each up in a per-LB AnimatedById dictionary (typically <50 animated vs ~10K total). When LB is visible: walk all entities as before. GpuWorldState.LandblockEntries now yields an AnimatedById map as a 5th tuple field alongside the AABB tuple. Dictionary is built on each yield (cheap — ~132 entities/LB max). A caching layer is out of A.5 scope. WbDrawDispatcher.Draw signature updated to consume the 5-tuple. GameWindow.cs call site passes _worldState.LandblockEntries which now yields the 5-tuple — no change needed there. 8 new tests in WbDrawDispatcherBucketingTests cover T17 Change #1 (invisible LB / animated set / neverCull / null frustum) and T18 Change #2 guard tests (cached AABB / dirty flag / animated bypass).

With ~10.7K entities (N1=4) at 240 FPS that is ~2.5M wasted Vector3 ops/sec. Read the AABB from the WorldEntity cache (T8 schema) instead. RefreshAabb runs lazily on AabbDirty=true. Populate at register time: - LandblockLoader.BuildEntitiesFromInfo: RefreshAabb after each new WorldEntity construction (stabs + buildings). Refactored from inline object-initializer to named variable to enable the call. - EntitySpawnAdapter.OnCreate: RefreshAabb after entity state init (position/rotation already set via the WorldEntity passed in). Dynamic entities (NPCs, players) move every frame via direct Position writes in GameWindow.cs. Migrated all three per-frame write sites to SetPosition() (T8 mutator) so AabbDirty propagates: - line 5942: player entity render position update - line 6951: remote animated entity interpolated path - line 7279: remote animated entity landing/movement path The lazy RefreshAabb in WalkEntities catches up on the next frame after any SetPosition call — render thread only, no races.

Four presets (Low/Medium/High/Ultra) drive NearRadius, FarRadius, MsaaSamples, AnisotropicLevel, AlphaToCoverage, MaxCompletionsPerFrame. Env vars (ACDREAM_NEAR_RADIUS, ACDREAM_FAR_RADIUS, ACDREAM_MSAA_SAMPLES, ACDREAM_ANISOTROPIC, ACDREAM_A2C, ACDREAM_MAX_COMPLETIONS_PER_FRAME) override individual preset fields for dev spot-testing. DisplaySettings gains a Quality: QualityPreset field (default High); SettingsStore persists/loads it under display."quality" as an enum name string with Enum.TryParse fallback. 12 new QualityPresetTests cover the preset table (radii, msaa, aniso, a2c, completions) and all six env-var override paths. 415 UI.Abstractions tests passing. Wiring into GameWindow / WbDrawDispatcher / TerrainAtlas follows in commit 2 of this task.

All six quality dimensions applied: - NearRadius / FarRadius: replace old T16 env-var-only block; preset drives the radii, legacy ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS override still honoured. - MsaaSamples: WindowOptions.Samples reads from startup quality resolution in Run() (pre-window-create read from SettingsStore). MSAA cannot change at runtime; ReapplyQualityPreset logs a restart-required warning if the new preset would change it. - AnisotropicLevel: TerrainAtlas.SetAnisotropic() called after Build() and again in ReapplyQualityPreset. Temporarily removes bindless residency before the GL TexParameter call, re-makes resident after. - AlphaToCoverage: WbDrawDispatcher.AlphaToCoverage property gates the glEnable/glDisable(SampleAlphaToCoverage) pair around the opaque pass. - MaxCompletionsPerFrame: set on StreamingController after construction and after each mid-session restart. ReapplyQualityPreset(QualityPreset) method handles mid-session changes (Settings panel Quality dropdown Save): rebuilds streamer + controller for radius changes, toggles A2C and aniso immediately, logs MSAA restart caveat. onSaveDisplay callback updated to call ReapplyQualityPreset when Quality field changes. TerrainModernRenderer.Atlas property added to expose the atlas for mid-session aniso updates. 991 tests passing, 8 pre-existing failures unchanged.

T13/T16 wired the controller side (RecenterTo emits ToLoadFar/ToLoadNear/ToPromote; controller passes JobKind to the worker), but the worker's HandleJob never branched on Kind: every load called BuildLandblockForStreaming which runs the full hydration + scenery generation + interior cell path. Result: at default radii (N₁=4 / N₂=12), 540 far-tier LBs each loaded their full entity layer (~132 entities/LB → ~71K entities total) into GpuWorldState. The dispatcher then walked all ~54K entities per frame (post-frustum-cull), driving the entity dispatcher cpu_us from ~3.6ms median (T24 baseline) to ~18-21ms (post-T22.5 horizon-test). User- observed: 40 FPS / 25ms frame time at horizon-safe settings; system crash at full High preset. Minimum-diff fix: in LandblockStreamer.HandleJob, after _loadLandblock returns, strip Entities to empty for LoadFar before posting Loaded. Worker still does wasted hydration CPU (off the render thread, harmless). Render-side dispatcher walk drops from ~54K to ~10K entities/frame. Math: post-fix entity dispatcher should drop to ~3-4ms median at N₁=4 / N₂=12 (matches T24's 3.6ms at radius=5 single-tier, since N₁=4 has 33% fewer near entities than N₁=5). Future optimization (N.6 / A.6): plumb JobKind through BuildLandblockForStreaming so the worker also skips the wasted CPU. Out of A.5 scope. Bug B (T17 WalkEntities allocation) is a smaller perf hit — defer if post-Bug-A FPS is acceptable.

Tests keep using this signature unchanged. - WalkEntitiesInto(..., scratch, ref result) — no-alloc, clears + populates a caller-provided scratch list.

User asked why the 9070 XT @ 1440p doesn't hit Unreal-level FPS for an old game like AC. Answer: architectural — we rebuild the entire draw plan from scratch every frame instead of caching pre-baked static-world data. Tier 1 (entity-classification cache) lands as A.5 polish (separate commit). Tiers 2 + 3 documented here for future scheduling: - Tier 2 — Static/dynamic split with persistent groups ~2-week phase. Static entities (~95% of world) get permanent GPU- resident matrix slots, populated at spawn, dirty-tracked for delta upload. Per-frame CPU cost for static = LB-cull + dirty-flag check only. Estimated entity dispatcher: 3.5ms → 0.5-1ms median. 400-600 FPS at standstill, radius=12. - Tier 3 — GPU-side culling (compute pre-pass) ~1-month phase. Per-instance frustum cull moves to GPU compute shader. Compute writes draw-indirect buffer; rasterizer reads it. Estimated CPU dispatcher: ~0.05ms (essentially free). 600-1000+ FPS at standstill, radius=12. Doc captures effort estimates, sub-decisions, risks, mitigations, and scheduling triggers for each tier. Also notes the architectural ceiling (~800-1500 FPS for a C# + GL client; reaching native engine performance requires becoming a different engine).

The CPU only orchestrates "which groups are visible" per frame. + +### Architectural shift + +```csharp +class StaticInstancedGroup +{ + public GroupKey Key; + public Matrix4x4[] Matrices; // grown as entities spawn + public BitArray ActiveSlots; // for free-list reuse + public bool NeedsGpuUpload; // dirty flag for delta upload + public Dictionary EntityToSlot; // for despawn lookup + public uint InstanceBufferOffset; // start of group's slice in global SSBO +} +``` + +**On entity spawn (atlas-tier static):** allocate a slot in each relevant group, write the matrix, mark dirty. + +**On entity despawn:** free the slot, mark dirty. + +**Per frame:** +- Static groups: LB-cull each group (cheap). For visible groups, flag for draw. **No matrix copy. No list rebuild.** +- Dynamic entities (~50 NPCs/players): today's per-frame walk-and-classify. Keeps the existing slow path for things that legitimately change every frame. +- Upload only the dirty groups' matrix slices (delta upload, not full reupload). +- Issue 2 multi-draw-indirect calls. + +### Sub-decisions + +**Frustum cull granularity at the group level:** at group level you can't reject individual instances; you draw the whole group or none of it. Two strategies: + +- **Per-LB subgroups:** split each group into per-landblock subgroups. LB-frustum-culls reject subgroups whose LB is invisible. ~2K groups × ~5 LBs per group on average = ~10K subgroups. Each subgroup AABB cull is ~0.3 µs → ~3 ms per frame. Roughly a wash with today's per-entity cull. +- **Per-instance GPU cull (Tier 3):** compute pre-pass on the GPU writes which instances are visible to a draw-indirect buffer. ~0.05ms CPU. The right long-term answer. + +For Tier 2 alone, per-LB subgroups are the recommended approach — keep CPU culling, just at coarser granularity than per-entity. + +**Dynamic entities crossing LB boundaries:** when an NPC walks across a landblock boundary, it stays in the same group key but its "spatial bucket" changes. Solution: dynamic entities are tracked in a single global "dynamic group" outside the per-LB structure; they don't need spatial bucketing because there are only ~50 of them. + +**Palette override invalidation:** server event swaps an NPC's clothing color → group key changes. Treat as despawn-from-old + spawn-into-new. NPCs are dynamic so this just rebuckets them. + +**Animation overrides on static entities:** static entities don't animate. Trees don't bend (foliage wave is a vertex shader effect, not a group-key change). Buildings don't move. So the static path never invalidates. + +**EnvCell visibility:** dungeon entities are gated by per-cell visibility state. Need to track which group instances are tied to which cell, and during visibility cull, gate per-cell. Keep using existing `ParentCellId` field on WorldEntity. + +**Streaming load/unload integration:** when an LB unloads, all its static entity matrices need to be removed from their groups. Free-list management. Matches existing `LandblockSpawnAdapter` lifecycle. + +### Effort breakdown + +| Task | Days | +|---|---| +| Design + invariants document | 2 | +| Spawn-time slot allocator + free-list | 3 | +| Per-frame visibility + dirty-flag delta upload | 2 | +| Dynamic entity path (NPCs, projectiles) | 2 | +| Invalidation (palette/ObjDesc events) | 2 | +| EnvCell visibility integration | 1 | +| Streaming load/unload integration | 1 | +| Conformance testing | 2-3 | +| **Total** | **~10-15 days** | + +### Risks + +- **Slot management bugs** = double-frees or leaks (entities draw at random positions — visible). +- **Invalidation bugs** = stale matrices (entity teleports back to spawn point when palette changes). +- **Dynamic entity tracking** adds complexity around the static/dynamic boundary. + +### Mitigations + +- **Conformance test:** render a fixed scene through both pipelines, compare draw output.

The CPU just uploads "here are all 1M instance matrices" once; the GPU compute shader writes which ones are visible to a draw-indirect buffer; the rasterizer draws only those. + +This is the level Unreal is at. With this, per-frame CPU work for the entity dispatcher becomes essentially "tell the GPU what to do" + a tiny scratch upload. + +### Why Tier 3 needs Tier 2 first + +Without Tier 2's persistent group structure, GPU culling has nothing stable to operate on. The compute shader needs an addressable "here are the static instances" buffer to read from; that buffer only exists after Tier 2. + +### Sub-decisions to be made + +**Compute shader API:** OpenGL 4.3+ compute shaders are sufficient. We're already at GL 4.3+ for bindless. No additional capability requirement. + +**Indirect draw command generation:** the compute shader writes a `DrawElementsIndirectCommand[]` buffer per pass. Render thread issues `glMultiDrawElementsIndirect` reading from that buffer. No CPU readback. + +**LOD selection:** opportunity to add per-instance LOD selection in the compute shader (distance-based mesh detail). Not needed for A.5's scope; could be a Tier 4 follow-up. + +**Per-light shadow map culling:** if shadows ship, GPU culling extends naturally to per-light frustum cull. Significant win for shadow rendering. + +### Effort breakdown + +| Task | Days | +|---|---| +| Compute shader design + GLSL implementation | 4 | +| Buffer layout coordination with Tier 2 | 2 | +| Silk.NET compute dispatch integration | 3 | +| Indirect command compaction logic | 4 | +| LOD selection (optional, ~stretch) | 4 | +| Validation: per-instance cull matches CPU cull within epsilon | 3 | +| Conformance + regression testing | 5 | +| **Total** | **~21-25 days, ~1 month** | + +### Risks + +- **GPU stalls** if the compute shader takes longer than expected (esp. on lower-end GPUs). +- **Sync overhead** between compute pre-pass and rasterizer pass. +- **Debugging difficulty** — GPU compute bugs are harder to diagnose than CPU bugs. + +### Mitigations + +- **Profile-driven design:** measure compute shader runtime on target hardware before committing. +- **Fallback path:** keep CPU cull as a runtime-toggleable option (env var) so we can A/B compare. +- **GPU debugging tools:** RenderDoc captures + frame-by-frame compute shader inspection. + +--- + +## When to schedule these + +**Tier 2:** +- Best fit: dedicated 2-week phase after a SHIP cycle. Treat it like a Phase B/C/N (i.e., name it Phase A.6 or N.7). +- Trigger: user wants to push radius beyond 12 (e.g., to 15 or 20 for true continent-scale horizon). +- Trigger: user wants to add 100+ active NPCs in a city without dropping below 240Hz. + +**Tier 3:** +- Best fit: after Tier 2 has been live and stable for at least one cycle. +- Trigger: shadow map work begins (GPU cull + shadow cull share the same compute pre-pass infrastructure). +- Trigger: user wants 500+ FPS sustained for very-high-refresh scenarios (360Hz monitors, future hardware). + +**Both:** +- Don't bundle with other phases. These are dedicated perf phases with their own brainstorm + spec + plan + SHIP cycles. + +--- + +## What's "free" or smaller (out of Tier 1/2/3 scope but worth noting) + +- **Plumb `JobKind` properly through `BuildLandblockForStreaming`** (~30 min). Today's Bug A patch wastes worker-thread CPU on hydration that gets thrown away for far-tier. Cleaner code, slight CPU savings on worker. +- **Eliminate `ToEntries` adapter allocation in `Draw`** (~15 min). Tiny win (~25 KB / frame). Could fold into Tier 1. +- **Persistent-mapped indirect buffer** (~2 days). Today's `glBufferData` per frame becomes a pre-mapped persistent buffer. Marginal win on RDNA 4; meaningful on lower-end GPUs. +- **Multi-thread mesh-build worker pool** (~1 day). 2.7s first-traversal horizon-fill drops to 0.7s with 4 workers. UX win on first walk-into-region. + +These are good candidates for a "perf polish" mini-phase or to backfill into Tier 2. + +--- + +## The architectural ceiling + +Even with all three tiers, **a faithful AC client written in C# with bindless OpenGL tops out around 800-1500 FPS at radius=12 on RDNA 4 hardware**. Beyond that requires: + +- Native C++ rendering core (eliminate .NET GC + JIT overhead) +- DX12/Vulkan API (eliminate driver state validation) +- Offline content cooking (eliminate runtime mesh/texture decode) + +Each of those is a several-month undertaking and represents "becoming a different engine." The realistic target for acdream is 240-500 FPS at the user's monitor refresh, comfortably ahead of the visible-stutter threshold. Tier 1 + Tier 2 alone should deliver that for radius=12-15. + +For "Unreal-level FPS at full quality," that's a different project.

For static entities (~95% of world: trees, rocks, buildings, scenery), the answer never changes between frames. Cache once at first visit; reuse permanently. Per-frame work for static drops from 4 expensive operations per (meshRef, batch) to 1 list-append. Estimated entity dispatcher: 3.5ms → ~1-1.5ms median at radius=12. Should land inside the 2.0ms spec budget. Implementation: - New EntityClassificationCache class (per-meshRef list of cached (group ref, baked-PartTransform) tuples) keyed by entity.Id. - ClassifyEntity does the one-time work; result populates _groups and the cache. - Draw inner loop: cache lookup → for each assignment, model = PartTransform × entityWorld; group.Matrices.Add(model). - Cache miss when ClassifyEntity finds NO mesh loaded yet (Vao == 0) → don't store; retry next frame. Avoids cache thrash during the streaming-in window. - Public InvalidateEntity(uint id) + ClearEntityCache() for explicit invalidation hooks. Wiring (palette swap on ObjDescEvent, MeshRefs hot-swap) is post-A.5 follow-up — for now, cache-stale entities show their pre-swap appearance until next respawn. Tier 2 (static/dynamic split with persistent groups) and Tier 3 (GPU compute culling) tracked in the roadmap doc.

Post-A.5 polish (Tier 1 retry + lifestone fix + JobKind plumbing) is now the in-flight work. **Purpose:** One source of truth for where the project is and where it's going. Every observed defect or missing feature has a named phase that owns it; when something looks wrong in-game, look here to find the phase that'll address it.

Per-entity culling deferred. LOD deferred to Phase C. Performance overlay in window title shows FPS, frame time, visible/total landblock ratio, entity count, animated count. ~160fps uncapped at 5×5 radius. - **✓ SHIPPED — A.3 — Background net receive thread.** Dedicated daemon thread continuously pulls raw UDP datagrams from the kernel buffer into a `Channel`. Render thread's `Tick()` drains the channel. All decode, fragment assembly, ISAAC crypto, event dispatch, and ack-sending remain on the render thread — minimal change that prevents packet drops during frame stalls. Thread starts after `EnterWorld()` completes; `PumpOnce()` during handshake still reads the socket directly. - **A.4 — Async dat decoding.** Folded into the streaming worker — it's the worker's read path, not a separate subsystem. Called out here because regressions in dat caching could land on this surface. -- **A.5 — Two-tier streaming + terrain horizon LOD.** Split `ACDREAM_STREAM_RADIUS` into two: `ACDREAM_TERRAIN_RADIUS` (large, 8-12 cells = 1.5-2.3km) for terrain mesh + `ACDREAM_ENTITY_RADIUS` (small, 2-3 cells, current default) for entities + scenery. Distant landblocks render terrain only — no NPCs, no procedural scenery, no static objects. Tune `SceneLightingUbo`'s `uFogParams` so the far edge fades into sky color (eliminates the hard streaming boundary visible at higher radii). Optional: terrain LOD via mesh decimation for very distant chunks (combine 2×2 landblocks into one decimated mesh; cribs from `references/WorldBuilder/Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend/Lib/TerrainRenderManager.cs`). Motivation: at radius=5 today, perf scales from ~810 fps → ~200-300 fps because everything stays full-detail; both retail and WorldBuilder render terrain way out and strip entities/scenery at distance.

Lifestone missing — known issue from earlier in development chain, deferred to post-A.5 (ISSUE #52). Two post-T26 perf bug fixes that were structural to A.5's promise: - (Bug A, 9217fd9) Far-tier worker now strips entities. Without this, T13/T16 shipped only the controller side of two-tier; the worker loaded full entity layers for far-tier LBs. Result was ~71K entities in GpuWorldState instead of ~10K — a 5x perf regression. Patch is at the worker-output level; cleaner JobKind plumbing through BuildLandblockForStreaming is post-A.5 (ISSUE #54). - (Bug B, 0ad8c99) WalkEntities switched from per-frame fresh-list allocation to a caller-provided scratch list reused across frames. Eliminated ~480 KB / frame GC pressure on the render thread. Tier 1 entity-classification cache attempted as ship-prep polish (commit 3639a6f) but reverted (9b49009) — caching meshRef.PartTransform froze the per-frame animation pose. Retry is a post-A.5 phase with animation-mutation audit + animated-bypass design (ISSUE #53).

Animated entities use today's per-frame classification path. Cleanest, but requires `animatedEntityIds` to be a stable signal (it is — `_animatedEntities` dict in GameWindow is the source). + +(b) **Dynamic-aware cache with invalidation hooks.** Cache everything but expose `InvalidateEntity(uint)` / `RefreshEntityPalette(uint)` for the dispatcher's invalidation. Wire from the network layer (palette swap fires invalidation; ObjDesc event fires invalidation).

From e40159f4d6fc456dc212272a93d3fdfaedb6af19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 15:49:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 081/110] =?UTF-8?q?fix(render):=20close=20#52=20=E2=80=94?= =?UTF-8?q?=20lifestone=20visible=20(alpha-test=20+=20cull=20+=20uDrawIDOf?= =?UTF-8?q?fset)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three root causes regressed the Holtburg lifestone since the WB rendering migration (Phase N.5 retirement amendment, commit dcae2b6, 2026-05-08). All confirmed via temporary [LIFESTONE-DIAG] instrumentation and visually verified by the user through the +Acdream test character. 1. **Alpha-test discard** in mesh_modern.frag transparent pass killed high-α pixels of dat-flagged transparent surfaces. Native AC transparent surfaces routinely include effectively-opaque pixels — e.g. the lifestone crystal core (surface 0x080011DE) — that compose correctly under (SrcAlpha, 1-SrcAlpha) blending. The original N.5 §2 rationale ("high-α belongs in opaque pass") doesn't hold for surfaces flagged transparent at the dat level: those pixels can't reach the opaque pass at all. Fix: remove `α >= 0.95 discard` from the transparent pass, keep `α < 0.05 discard` as a fragment-cost optimization (skip totally-empty pixels). 2. **Cull state** for the transparent pass was unset by WbDrawDispatcher after the N.5 retirement amendment deleted StaticMeshRenderer.cs (which had the Phase 9.2 setup at commit 6f1971a, 2026-04-11). Closed-shell translucents — lifestone crystal, glow gems — need GL_CULL_FACE + GL_BACK + GL_CCW in the transparent pass; otherwise back faces composite over front faces in iteration order under DepthMask(false). Fix: re-establish Phase 9.2's exact GL state setup at the top of Phase 8. 3. **uDrawIDOffset uniform** was missing from mesh_modern.vert. gl_DrawIDARB resets to 0 at the start of each glMultiDrawElementsIndirect call, so the transparent pass — which begins later in the indirect buffer — was fetching Batches[0..transparentCount) instead of its actual section at Batches[opaqueCount..end). The lifestone crystal ended up reading the FIRST OPAQUE batch's TextureHandle every frame; as the camera moved and the front-to-back opaque sort reordered which group landed at BatchData[0], the crystal's apparent texture flickered to whatever sat first — typically the player character's body parts. Fix: add `uniform int uDrawIDOffset` to the vertex shader, change Batches[gl_DrawIDARB] → Batches[uDrawIDOffset + gl_DrawIDARB], and set the uniform per-pass in WbDrawDispatcher (0 for opaque, _opaqueDrawCount for transparent). Mirrors WorldBuilder's BaseObjectRenderManager.cs line 845. Tests: 1688/1696 passing (8 pre-existing physics/input failures unchanged). N.5b conformance sentinel 94/94 clean. Visual: Holtburg lifestone now renders with the spinning blue crystal correctly composed over the pedestal. Other transparent content (glass, particle effects, NPC clothing) is unaffected — the same uniform fix applies globally and is correct for all transparent draws.

The original ISSUE #52 hypothesis (Bug A far-tier strip catching the lifestone) was wrong — the lifestone is server-spawned (WCID 509, Setup `0x020002EE`) and never goes through the far-tier strip. Real causes: + +1. **Alpha-test discard.** `mesh_modern.frag` transparent pass discarded fragments with `α >= 0.95`. The lifestone crystal core surface `0x080011DE` decoded with α≥0.95 across its visible surface, so 100% of the crystal's fragments were discarded — invisible. The original N.5 §2 rationale ("high-α belongs in opaque pass") doesn't hold for surfaces dat-flagged transparent: those pixels can't reach the opaque pass at all. Fix: remove the high-α discard from the transparent pass; keep `α < 0.05` as a fragment-cost optimization. + +2. **Cull state regression.** Legacy `StaticMeshRenderer` had Phase 9.2's `Enable(CullFace) + Back + CCW` setup at the top of its translucent pass (commit `6f1971a`, 2026-04-11) — fix for "lifestone crystal one face missing" reported at the time. When `dcae2b6` deleted the legacy renderer, the new `WbDrawDispatcher` never inherited that GL state, so closed-shell translucents composited back-faces over front-faces in iteration order under `DepthMask(false)`. Fix: re-establish Phase 9.2's exact setup at the top of Phase 8. + +3. **`uDrawIDOffset` indexing bug.** `gl_DrawIDARB` resets to 0 at the start of each `glMultiDrawElementsIndirect` call. The transparent pass starts at byte offset `_opaqueDrawCount * stride` in the indirect buffer, but the vertex shader read `Batches[gl_DrawIDARB]` directly — so transparent draws read from `Batches[0..transparentCount)` (the OPAQUE section) instead of `Batches[opaqueCount..end)`. The lifestone crystal's apparent texture flickered to whatever opaque batch sorted to index 0 each frame; with the player character in view, this often appeared as a lifestone wearing the player's body / face textures. Fix: add `uniform int uDrawIDOffset` to `mesh_modern.vert`, change `Batches[gl_DrawIDARB]` to `Batches[uDrawIDOffset + gl_DrawIDARB]`, and set the uniform per-pass in `WbDrawDispatcher` (0 for opaque, `_opaqueDrawCount` for transparent). Mirrors WorldBuilder's `BaseObjectRenderManager.cs:845`. + +**Verification.** User-confirmed visually via `+Acdream` test character at the Holtburg outdoor lifestone (Z=94 platform). Tests 1688/1696 passing (8 pre-existing physics/input failures unchanged). N.5b conformance sentinel 94/94 clean. + +**Lesson.** The WB rendering migration's "lift legacy state into the new dispatcher" was incomplete in two non-obvious ways: (a) GL state setup that lived inside legacy per-pass blocks, and (b) shader uniforms that the legacy per-draw flow didn't need but the multi-draw-indirect flow does. Future WB-migration work should systematically diff the legacy renderer's GL setup + shader I/O against the new dispatcher's. The `uDrawIDOffset` bug was particularly hidden because it only manifested for entities that mixed transparent draws with the visible opaque sort order — single-pass content (pure opaque or pure transparent) was unaffected. + +--- + ## #13 — [DONE 2026-05-10 · d3b58c9..078919c] PlayerDescription trailer past enchantments **Closed:** 2026-05-10 From bf31e59805516397b2d3f8722e7738af2700e998 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 16:03:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 083/110] =?UTF-8?q?fix(streaming):=20close=20#54=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20plumb=20JobKind=20through=20BuildLandblockForStream?= =?UTF-8?q?ing?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bug A's fix (commit `9217fd9`) patched at the worker output by stripping entities from far-tier `LoadedLandblock`s after the full `LoadNear` path ran. The worker still wasted CPU on `LandBlockInfo` reads + entity hydration + `SceneryGenerator` math + interior-cell walks for ~544 far-tier LBs at radius=12, just to throw the work away. This commit plumbs `LandblockStreamJobKind` through to the factory so the worker can branch at the source: - `LandblockStreamer.cs`: replace the `Func` factory with `Func` as the primary ctor signature. Add a back-compat overload that wraps the old single-arg signature (`(id, _) => loadLandblock(id)`) so existing test code keeps compiling without modification — the 5 ctor sites in `LandblockStreamerTests.cs` now resolve to the overload. `HandleJob` passes `load.Kind` to the factory; the post-load entity-strip is retained as a `Debug.Assert` + Release safety net. - `GameWindow.cs`: `BuildLandblockForStreaming(uint, JobKind)` branches on `kind == LoadFar` at the top — reads only the `LandBlock` heightmap dat and returns a `LoadedLandblock` with `Array.Empty()`. Skips `LandblockLoader.Load` (which reads `LandBlockInfo`), `BuildSceneryEntitiesForStreaming`, and `BuildInteriorEntitiesForStreaming` entirely. Near-tier path is unchanged. Both call sites updated to pass the kind through the lambda: `(id, kind) => BuildLandblockForStreaming(id, kind)`. Tests: 1688/1696 (8 pre-existing physics/input failures unchanged).

This handoff captures the audit insights gathered during the #52 investigation that the original post-A.5 handoff didn't have: - MeshRef is a `readonly record struct` — its fields can NOT be mutated in place. The actual per-frame mutation for animated entities is the entire MeshRefs LIST replacement at GameWindow.cs:7474-7553. This reframes the cache design. - _animatedEntities dict at GameWindow.cs:160 is the source of truth for which entities go through the per-frame rebuild path. - Static entity = entity.Id NOT in _animatedEntities. Its MeshRefs is the same instance from spawn until rare events (ObjDesc / palette swap / part hide / scale apply). - Recommended cache approach: static-only with explicit invalidation hooks on the network/spawn-time write sites enumerated in the doc. Doc covers: where main is, what shipped this session, why the first Tier 1 attempt failed, the pre-started audit, cache design options, acceptance criteria, files to read, workflow for the next session, and things-to-NOT-do.

Invalidate the cache for an entity on: + - **ObjDesc / AnimPartChange events** (`GameWindow.cs:2333, 2365`) — rebuild that entity's cache entry. + - **Palette override changes** (rare; usually only on initial server spawn or a re-equip event). + - **Entity despawn** — drop the cache entry. +4. Static entities never animate. The dispatcher's per-frame work for cached entities reduces from "walk + classify all batches" to "walk + lookup-and-emit-pre-classified". + +Why this is safer than the first attempt: the first attempt cached the POSE (model matrix). This attempt would cache only the (group key, texture handle, blend mode, per-part `meshRef.PartTransform * entityWorld` for the spawn-time stable subset). Animation never enters the cache surface. + +### Cache design options reconsidered + +(a) **Static-only cache (recommended).** As described above. Clean invariant: animated entities skip the cache; static entities go through it. Requires careful enumeration of all writes to `entity.MeshRefs` for static entities (see audit list above) so each one fires invalidation. + +(b) **Dynamic-aware cache with invalidation hooks.** Cache everything but expose `InvalidateEntity(uint)` / `RefreshEntityPalette(uint)` hooks; wire from network handlers. More complex but might let some animated entities also benefit if their per-frame mutations are localized. NOT RECOMMENDED for a first retry — error-prone and the first attempt already failed at this scope. + +(c) **Static-only + animated-bypass + DEBUG cross-check.** Like (a), but in DEBUG builds, log a warning every frame if a cached entity's `MeshRefs` reference no longer matches the cached snapshot (catches mis-classified dynamics).

Write `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-10-issue-53-tier1-cache-design.md`. Include the audit findings, the chosen cache approach (probably option (a)), the invariants, the invalidation API, the test plan, the perf-gate measurement plan. +6. **Implement (~2-3 days):** TDD via `superpowers:test-driven-development`. Tests first for cache hit/miss/invalidation, then implementation in `WbDrawDispatcher`.

Compare to today's ~3.5 ms baseline; expect ≤2.0 ms. +9. **Ship:** commit, close #53 in ISSUES.md, update CLAUDE.md "Currently in flight" (this would close out the post-A.5 polish phase entirely), update memory with any new gotchas captured during the audit/implementation. +10. **Next phase after #53 ships:** N.6 (perf polish) per the roadmap.

The audit step should produce a written list of every MeshRefs write site, classified static vs dynamic, before any cache code is written. +- **Don't bundle Tier 2 or Tier 3 into this phase.** Those are dedicated multi-week phases per `docs/plans/2026-05-10-perf-tiers-2-3-roadmap.md`. If the audit reveals Tier 1 alone can't hit the perf target, file a follow-up issue and escalate as a separate phase. +- **Don't re-add the `Tier1` cache that was reverted.** Start fresh after the audit. Cherry-picking commit `3639a6f` reintroduces the animation freeze. +- **Don't break the N.5b conformance sentinel.** Run the filter on every commit: + ``` + dotnet test --no-build --filter "FullyQualifiedName~TerrainSlot|FullyQualifiedName~TerrainModernConformance|FullyQualifiedName~Wb|FullyQualifiedName~MatrixComposition|FullyQualifiedName~TextureCacheBindless|FullyQualifiedName~SplitFormulaDivergence" + ``` + Expect 94 passing, 0 failures. +- **Don't skip the visual gate.** Animation has been the highest-risk regression in this codebase repeatedly (Tier 1 first attempt, the lifestone crystal in this session, the foundry statue earlier). Confirm visually with a moving animated NPC, a stationary building, and the lifestone before declaring done. +- **Don't trust "it was working in prod before."** That was the first Tier 1 attempt's posture. The audit is what makes it actually safe. + +--- + +## Reference: Tier 1 perf math + +Per the perf-tier roadmap and A.5 final state: +- **Today** (post-A.5 ship + #52/#54): entity dispatcher cpu_us median ~3.5 ms at radius=12 on Radeon RX 9070 XT @ 1440p. ~200-240 FPS at standstill. +- **After Tier 1**: ~1.0-1.5 ms median expected. ~300-400 FPS at standstill. Inside the spec's 2.0 ms budget. +- **After Tier 2 (separate phase)**: ~0.5-1.0 ms. ~400-600 FPS. +- **After Tier 3 (GPU compute culling, separate phase)**: ~0.05 ms. ~600-1000+ FPS. + +Tier 1 is the lowest-risk, highest-leverage perf win remaining for the post-A.5 polish phase. + +--- + +Good luck. The audit is the load-bearing thing — invest in it. The implementation is mechanical once the audit is solid. + +Holler at the user if any of the audit reveals a write site that doesn't fit the static/dynamic dichotomy cleanly.

The spec at docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-10-issue-53-tier1-cache-design.md locks in the design from brainstorming on 2026-05-10: - Static-only cache + DEBUG cross-check (option c) — catches future regressions of the prior bug class without paying perf cost in Release - Separate EntityClassificationCache class injected into WbDrawDispatcher - Cache the rest pose, not the full model matrix (Position/Rotation read live each frame so Release stays correct even if the invariant breaks) - Pre-flatten Setup multi-parts at populate time (the bulk of the win) - 15 new tests covering all invalidation paths + DEBUG cross-check + Setup pre-flatten + lifecycle pin Closes the audit + design steps of the post-A.5 polish Priority 3 work.

Cache design follows from the audit, not the other way around. + +--- + +## TL;DR — the invariant + +> **An entity's `MeshRefs` reference, `Position`, `Rotation`, `PaletteOverride`, `HiddenPartsMask`, `ParentCellId`, and `Scale` are stable from spawn to despawn IF AND ONLY IF the entity is NOT in `GameWindow._animatedEntities`.** + +That is the invariant the cache rides on. Animated entities (player + remote NPCs/players + animated dat scenery like the lifestone crystal) get a fresh `MeshRefs` list every frame from `TickAnimations` plus per-frame `Position`/`Rotation` writes from physics/dead-reckoning. Everything else — stabs, scenery, cell-mesh entities, interior static objects — touches none of those fields after construction. + +The cache should hold per-entity classification ONLY for entities whose `Id` is not in `_animatedEntities` at lookup time. Animated entities go through today's per-frame classification path unchanged. + +--- + +## §1. `entity.MeshRefs = ...` write sites (the core question) + +`WorldEntity.MeshRefs` is `IReadOnlyList` with a `set` accessor (see [src/AcDream.Core/World/WorldEntity.cs:28](../../src/AcDream.Core/World/WorldEntity.cs#L28)). `MeshRef` itself is a `readonly record struct` ([src/AcDream.Core/World/MeshRef.cs:15](../../src/AcDream.Core/World/MeshRef.cs#L15)) — its fields cannot be mutated in place. So every "MeshRefs change" is a whole-list replacement, not a per-element edit. + +Six write sites total in `src/`. Five STATIC, one DYNAMIC. + +### Site 1 — `OnLiveEntitySpawnedLocked` (server-spawned entity hydration) + +**[src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs:2578](../../src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs#L2578)** — `MeshRefs = meshRefs` in the `WorldEntity { … }` constructor. + +**Classification:** **STATIC** at first spawn. + +**Trigger:** server's `0xF745 CreateObject` for any entity (NPC, monster, player, item, statue, lifestone). Also re-runs from `OnLiveAppearanceUpdated` (server's `0xF625 ObjDescEvent`) → spawn dedup at top of `OnLiveEntitySpawnedLocked` invokes `RemoveLiveEntityByServerGuid`, then re-spawns. Each invocation gets a NEW local `entity.Id` from `_liveEntityIdCounter++` (line 2573). + +**Implication for cache:** ObjDescEvent isn't a "mutate existing entity" event — it's a despawn+respawn pair.

No texture resolution, no group-key construction, no metaTable lookup. + +**Worst case:** if every entity is animated (e.g. a city full of NPCs), the cache adds one `ContainsKey` lookup per visible entity vs today's path. Negligible overhead. In practice ~10K entities total at radius=12 with ~50 animated → 99.5% cache hit rate on the static path. + +**Risk surface:** the cache invariant rests on TWO claims, both verified in the audit above: +1. STATIC entity Position / Rotation never mutate post-spawn. Verified §3. +2. STATIC entity MeshRefs reference never changes post-spawn. Verified §1 (only Site 6 writes, only for animated entities). + +If either claim breaks in a future change (e.g. someone adds an "earthquake" effect that mutates static-tree positions), the cache will quietly serve stale matrices. Defense: +- **DEBUG-only assertion** in the cache hit path: `Debug.Assert(!_animatedEntities.ContainsKey(entity.Id))`. +- **DEBUG-only cross-check**: in DEBUG builds, in the cache-hit path, also recompute the live model matrix and compare against `cached.RestPose * entityWorld`. Log a warning if they differ. Catches the "someone added a new mutation site" failure mode without paying the cost in Release. + +(Belt-and-suspenders option (c) from the original handoff. Recommended for the first retry given the prior bug.) + +--- + +## §7. What does NOT need to be in the cache design + +- **Texture invalidation on bindless handle change.** Bindless handles are issued on first texture upload and remain valid for the texture's lifetime. `TextureCache` doesn't evict entries during normal play (only on shutdown). Static-entity texture handles never change. +- **GfxObj re-decode.** `WbMeshAdapter.TryGetRenderData` returns the same `ObjectRenderData` instance for a given `gfxObjId` for the session. Static-entity batches never change. +- **`SurfaceOverrides` reactivation.** Init-only on `MeshRef`, set at Site 1's hydration time, stable for the MeshRef's lifetime. +- **Per-frame `Time` / `dt` inputs.** The dispatcher doesn't read time. Texture animation (e.g. animated UV scrolls) happens in the shader from `gl_Time`-equivalent uniforms, not from cached state. + +--- + +## §8. Open questions for brainstorming + +These need a user decision before I write the spec: + +1. **Where do `InvalidateEntity` / `InvalidateLandblock` live?** On `WbDrawDispatcher` (cache lives there)? On a new `EntityClassificationCache` class injected into the dispatcher (separation of concerns; testable in isolation)? My lean: separate class, dispatcher gets it via ctor. +2. **Static-only (option a) vs static-only + DEBUG cross-check (option c)?** Cross-check costs nothing in Release and catches the exact bug class that bit us last time. My lean: option (c). +3. **Cache the full model matrix or the rest pose?** Full matrix saves a per-frame multiply but bakes Position/Rotation into the cache (theoretically violatable). Rest pose is safer + costs ~one mat4 mult per batch. My lean: rest pose. +4. **Setup multi-part flattening: cache the per-part `setupPart.PartTransform * meshRef.PartTransform` product?** Today's `Draw` walks `renderData.SetupParts` per-frame even though that list is per-GfxObj-immutable. The cache could pre-flatten into the batch list. My lean: yes — that's where the visible CPU win is. +5. **Test plan: where do new tests live?** `tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Rendering/Wb/EntityClassificationCacheTests.cs`? Pure-CPU tests on the cache class without GL state? My lean: yes, separate test file in the existing Wb test directory. + +--- + +## §9.

Problem + +`WbDrawDispatcher.Draw` runs full per-frame entity classification at radius=12: walk every visible entity → resolve textures (palette + override) → bucket into groups by `(IBO, FirstIndex, BaseVertex, IndexCount, textureHandle, layer, translucency)`. At ~10K visible entities × ~3 batches average = ~30K classification ops/frame, this dominates the dispatcher's CPU at ~3.5 ms median (post-#52/#54 baseline) — 75% over the Phase A.5 spec's 2.0 ms entity dispatcher budget. + +For ~99.5% of entities (stabs, scenery, cell-mesh, interior fixtures, lifestone), the classification result is *identical* every frame from spawn to despawn. The classification work for those entities is pure waste. + +A first attempt to cache this state — commit `3639a6f`, reverted at `9b49009` — froze NPC animation by caching `meshRef.PartTransform`, which is mutated every frame for entities in `_animatedEntities`.

Hold full test baseline: 1688 passing, 8 pre-existing physics/input failures unchanged. +6.

DO NOT bundle. +- Tier 3 (GPU compute culling) — same roadmap; depends on Tier 2 first. +- Caching for animated entities. Animated entities use today's per-frame classification path, unchanged. +- Persistent-mapped indirect buffer or any other rendering perf work outside the entity classification path. + +--- + +## §3. Design decisions (from brainstorming, 2026-05-10) + +| # | Decision | Rationale | +|---|---|---| +| Q1 | **Static-only cache + DEBUG cross-check** (option `c`) | The prior failure mode was "we silently cached mutable state." DEBUG cross-check converts that class of regression from "user notices a frozen NPC" to "Debug.Assert fires in any dev/test run." Zero Release cost. | +| Q2 | **Separate `EntityClassificationCache` class** (option `B`) at `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Wb/EntityClassificationCache.cs`, injected into `WbDrawDispatcher` via ctor | Pure-CPU testable in isolation. The single invariant ("static entity = `entity.Id ∉ _animatedEntities`") lives at the top of one ~200-line file rather than scattered through the 940-line dispatcher. | +| Q3 | **Cache the rest pose, not the full model matrix** (option `P`) | Full-matrix would save ~50 µs/frame of mat4 mults at the cost of baking `Position`/`Rotation` into the cache. With rest pose, `Position`/`Rotation` are read live every frame; if a future regression introduces a static-entity Position write, Release builds still produce correct visuals (just with unused cache entries). DEBUG cross-check catches the regression either way. Marginal perf delta dominated by safety. | +| Q4 | **Pre-flatten Setup multi-parts at populate time** (option `F`) | The bulk of the visible CPU win lives here. Today the dispatcher walks `renderData.SetupParts` per frame even though that list is per-GfxObj-immutable. Pre-flattening makes the per-frame hot path branchless: walk one flat list per entity regardless of Setup-vs-non-Setup. Populate cost: one extra mat4 mult per subPart, run once per entity per session. | +| Q5 | **Thorough test coverage** (option `T`): ~10 tests in a new `EntityClassificationCacheTests.cs`, +2 integration tests in `WbDrawDispatcherBucketingTests.cs` | The prior bug would have been caught by the DEBUG cross-check test. The "ObjDescEvent treated as despawn-respawn" test pins a contract from the audit so it can't quietly change. Setup pre-flattening test verifies the per-batch product math without the GL stack. ~150-200 lines of test code. | + +--- + +## §4. The invariant + +The cache rests on this single rule, verified in the audit: + +> **An entity's `MeshRefs` reference, `Position`, `Rotation`, `PaletteOverride`, `HiddenPartsMask`, `ParentCellId`, and `Scale` are stable from spawn to despawn IF AND ONLY IF the entity is NOT in `GameWindow._animatedEntities`.** + +Six write sites in `src/`, five static (one-shot at hydration), one dynamic (per-frame in `TickAnimations`, only for entities in `_animatedEntities`). All seven `Position`/`Rotation` write sites operate on entities in `_animatedEntities`. `PaletteOverride`, `HiddenPartsMask`, `ParentCellId`, `Scale` are `init`-only on `WorldEntity`. `MeshRef` is a `readonly record struct` — no in-place mutation possible. See [audit §1, §3, §4](../../research/2026-05-10-tier1-mutation-audit.md#1-entitymeshrefs---write-sites-the-core-question). + +The DEBUG cross-check (§6.5) is the safety net for any future regression that violates this rule. + +--- + +## §5.

Dispatcher checks `_animatedEntities` membership at the top of the per-entity loop; static entities go through the cache (miss → populate; hit → fast path that walks the cached flat batch list and appends `RestPose * entityWorld` matrices). Two invalidation hooks: `InvalidateEntity` from `RemoveLiveEntityByServerGuid` (live despawn) and `InvalidateLandblock` from `GpuWorldState.RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock` (LB demote/unload, wired via callback at `GameWindow` construction). DEBUG-only cross-check recomputes live state and asserts it matches cached, catching the prior Tier 1 bug class. + +**Tech Stack:** C# / .NET 10 preview / Silk.NET / xUnit / FluentAssertions.

The upcoming EntityClassificationCache (ISSUE #53) needs to store GroupKey inside CachedBatch records, so it must be visible to both the dispatcher and the cache. Promoting to internal at file scope is the smallest change that achieves this. No behavior change. 1688 tests pass; 8 pre-existing failures unchanged.

The skeleton compiles and the first test (TryGet_EmptyCache_ReturnsFalse) passes. Subsequent tasks add Populate, InvalidateEntity, InvalidateLandblock, and the dispatcher integration. Per spec design Section 6.1. Note: CachedBatch / EntityCacheEntry / EntityClassificationCache are internal (not public as the plan snippet showed). Their members transitively reference the internal GroupKey type, so promoting them to public produces CS0051 inconsistent-accessibility errors. The cache is dispatcher-internal coordination state anyway, and the AcDream.App csproj already exposes internals to AcDream.Core.Tests via InternalsVisibleTo, so the test sees everything it needs.

ACE's relay code may treat its absence as "unknown" and broadcast Walk to observers. | `crates/holtburger-core/src/client/movement/common.rs:151-153` | +| b | **`commands[]` array MUST be empty on held WASD.** Holtburger never puts a `MotionItem` in `commands[]` for held movement — only for transient slash commands like `/dance`. If acdream is putting one in for held W (or letting movement_sequence bump per-frame), every observer's `apply_self_update_motion` re-applies the same sequence as a fresh interpolation start — exactly the symptom. | `system.rs:743-766` (`execute_transient_motion_at`) | +| c | **`turn_speed` always emitted alongside `TURN_COMMAND`.** Holtburger writes 1.5 rad/s for Run, 1.0 rad/s for Walk; the `TURN_SPEED` flag is *always* set whenever `TURN_COMMAND` is. Omitting it lets ACE default to 0 → "smoothly but slowly" turn observed. | `common.rs:184-186, 226-231` | +| d | **Dedup gate must include gait.** Holtburger's `should_send_motion_state_pulse` compares the full `(MotionState, MotionStyle)`.

Likely explains some portal-transition glitches. + +References: holtburger `messages.rs:433-467` (PlayerCreate), `messages.rs:480-487` (PlayerTeleport). acdream sends only at [WorldSession.cs:648](src/AcDream.Core.Net/WorldSession.cs:648). + +**Cost:** ~5 lines. + +### 1.3 EchoRequest → EchoResponse reply + +We parse `EchoRequest` from the optional header but never reply. ACE pings periodically; the missing response is a likely contributor to Network Timeout drops in long sessions. Holtburger handles it inline in the recv-message dispatcher. + +Reference: holtburger `crates/holtburger-session/src/session/receive.rs::finalize_ordered_server_packet` and the optional-header iterator at `crates/holtburger-session/src/optional_header.rs:59-141`. + +**Cost:** ~30 lines (parse the EchoRequest payload, build EchoResponse with mirrored time, send as control packet). + +### 1.4 Port-switch race fix (commit `403bc98`) + +On `ConnectRequest`, our `WorldSession` eagerly sets `_connectEndpoint = port+1`. Holtburger's recent fix introduces `pending_server_source_addr`: the new port is staged but `server_source_addr` is only updated when an actual packet arrives from the new port. ACE deployments occasionally send one more packet from `port` after the activation, and our code drops them. + +References: holtburger `session/auth.rs:42-47` (stage), `session/receive.rs:17-51` (confirm on first packet from new port). + +**Cost:** ~20 lines, one new field on `WorldSession`. + +### 1.5 Non-blocking 200 ms handshake delay + +We use `Thread.Sleep(200)` between receiving ConnectRequest and sending ConnectResponse on `port+1`. Holtburger queues ConnectResponse with `ready_at = Instant::now() + 200ms` and lets the recv loop keep draining during the gap (handles any inbound TimeSync that arrives in the window). + +Reference: holtburger `session/auth.rs:42-66`, queued via `pending_control_packets` flushed by the recv loop. (Their old form, deleted in `99974cc`, used `tokio::time::sleep` and matched our blocking pattern.) + +**Cost:** ~40 lines (small "deferred control packet" queue + flush check). + +### 1.6 AutonomousPosition cadence audit + +We have **three policies** in play, and at least two are wrong: + +- **acdream:** fixed 200 ms heartbeat (per `memory/project_retail_motion_outbound`) +- **holtburger:** fixed 1 s heartbeat, unconditional regardless of motion (`common.rs:22`, `system.rs:858-893`) +- **cdb retail trace (memory):** AutoPos appears gated on actual motion + +Most likely retail wins (cdb is observing real client behavior). If retail truly suppresses AutoPos when stationary, our 5× over-emission triggers ACE-side over-validation and may contribute to the observer-side jitter. **Recommended:** another cdb idle trace to confirm retail's exact behavior, then converge to it. + +### 1.7 Retransmit machinery (entire subsystem) + +Largest delta from holtburger. We are missing: + +- **A retransmit cache.** Holtburger's `MAX_CACHED_PACKETS=512`, LRU-style, drops oldest when full (`reliability.rs:32-37`). +- **Server-requested retransmits.** When the server asks for resends, holtburger re-encrypts with current ISAAC + RETRANSMISSION flag and replays from cache (`reliability.rs:135-186`). +- **Client-issued retransmit requests.** When inbound seq has gaps, holtburger sends `RequestRetransmit` for up to 115 seqs in a 256-seq window, rate-limited to once per second (`MAX_RETRANSMIT_SEQUENCE_IDS=115`, `MAX_RETRANSMIT_SEQUENCE_WINDOW=256`, `REQUEST_RETRANSMIT_INTERVAL=1s`). +- **`Iteration` field handling.** Our `PacketHeader.Iteration` is always 0; holtburger increments on retransmit. +- **`ISAAC::search` for out-of-order ENCRYPTED_CHECKSUM packets.** Out-of-order packets have ISAAC keys that have already advanced. Holtburger scans forward up to 256 keys, stashing each skipped key in `xors: HashSet` for later out-of-order packets to consume via `consume_key_value` (`crypto.rs:73-93`). **A naive port either drops the out-of-order packet or corrupts the ISAAC stream.** If our IsaacRandom doesn't have a search-and-stash mode, this is a latent bug waiting for any UDP loss event. + +Our `WorldSession` class doc explicitly defers this work (`WorldSession.cs:29` "ACK pump, retransmit handling … deferred"). Symptoms when it's missing: any packet loss → silent state divergence, eventual desync, "purple haze" / Network Timeout drops. + +**Cost:** 1-2 days. The whole pattern is in holtburger's `reliability.rs` (196 lines) plus the ISAAC search-mode in `crypto.rs:73-93`. + +### 1.8 Fragment assembler TTL + outbound multi-fragment split + +Two smaller correctness gaps: + +- **Inbound:** Our `FragmentAssembler` has no TTL. If a multi-fragment server message loses its middle fragment, the partials sit forever. Memory leak in any long session that sees UDP loss. Holtburger's reassembler tracks completion per `(sequence, id)` and lives inside `process_fragment` in `send.rs`. +- **Outbound:** Our `GameMessageFragment.BuildSingleFragment` throws on body > 448 bytes. Anything that needs splitting (long /tells, big inventory queries, large appraisals) silently can't be sent. Note: **holtburger doesn't do outbound fragmentation either** (`send_message` always emits `count: 1`, `send.rs:298`) — they're betting on UDP-level fragmentation. So this isn't a holtburger crib; it's a hole in both. AC2D + Chorizite are the better references when we get there. + +--- + +## 2. Confirmations — we're doing it right + +Three places where the audit confirmed our existing approach matches the reference: + +- **Run/walk encoding via WalkForward + HoldKey.Run/None.** Holtburger sends `forward_command = 0x45000005 (WalkForward)` for **both** walk and run; the distinction is in `forward_hold_key` (Run=2 vs None=1) and `forward_speed`. ACE upgrades server-side. Test pinning this contract: `holtburger system/tests.rs:404-428`. +- **Two-step EnterWorld** (`0xF7C8 CharacterEnterWorldRequest` → wait for `0xF7DF ServerReady` → `0xF657 CharacterEnterWorld`). +- **ACK on every received packet with seq > 0.** Holtburger's `recv_packet_with_addr` queues an ack for every received packet with `sequence > 0 && flags != ACK_SEQUENCE`. Outbound `send_message` auto-piggybacks the latest server seq onto the next data packet; standalone ACKs flush only when nothing naturally goes out. (Worth double-checking that our `SendAck` is called automatically on `ProcessDatagram`, not as a separate periodic pump.) + +One thing **worth re-verifying** because it's easy to invert: ISAAC seeding direction. Holtburger uses `isaac_c2s = Isaac::new(crd.client_seed)` and `isaac_s2c = Isaac::new(crd.server_seed)` — i.e. the wire field labelled `client_seed` seeds the C2S keystream, and vice versa. Worth a 30-second check that our `WorldSession` does the same. + +--- + +## 3. Don't crib these (holtburger gaps / wrong) + +- **Outbound fragmentation:** holtburger doesn't do it. Hole in both projects. Use AC2D + Chorizite when needed. +- **Jump (0xF61B):** holtburger never sends Jump. The TUI client can't jump. `JumpActionData` is decoder-only. Use cdb retail trace + Chorizite.ACProtocol for jump format reference. +- **Initial run_rate_scalar fallback:** holtburger uses 4.5 (max-cap formula, run_skill ≥ 800); acdream uses 2.4-2.94 default. Retail formula: `(load_mod * (run_skill / (run_skill + 200) * 11) + 4) / 4`. The right pre-PlayerDescription default depends on what retail does — cdb trace will settle it. +- **AutoPos cadence:** holtburger's 1-second unconditional heartbeat is probably wrong (cdb retail trace says gated on motion). Don't copy this verbatim; investigate first. + +--- + +## 4.

For multi-MeshRef entities (multi-part Setup buildings, statues, multi-MeshRef NPCs), each iteration's Populate OVERWROTE the previous one — only the last MeshRef's batches survived. The bug was invisible at commit time because Task 10 had not landed (cache populates but isn't read). It would have manifested the moment Task 10 wired the cache-hit fast path: every multi-part static building in Holtburg would render as N stacked copies of its last part. Fix: restructure the per-entity loop with a flush-on-entity-change pattern. Track the previous entity's Id; when the iteration moves to a different entity, flush the previous entity's accumulated _populateScratch via one Populate call. After the loop, flush the final entity. _populateScratch is now cleared at flush time, not per-iteration. Caught by code review (subagent-driven-development) before Task 10 dispatched. Verified: 1699/8 baseline preserved, sentinel 105/105 unchanged.

Fix: track lastHitEntityId; the cache-hit fast path fires only on the first tuple of each entity, and subsequent tuples skip the iteration body via continue. Adds a regression test pinning the per-entity amplification invariant. Caught by code review (subagent-driven-development) before Phase 3 dispatched. The bug was invisible in the no-multi-frame-test 1702/8 baseline; would have manifested as visible Z-fighting on every multi- part building on second-and-subsequent frames once Task 13 perf gate captured live runs.

Three deliverables: 1. Design spec at docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-10-phase-m-network-stack-design.md (~700 lines, 8 sections): - Bar C completeness target ("wireable on demand"): every wire opcode a 2013 EoR retail client receives or sends gets a parser/builder + golden-vector test + typed event in the new layered stack. - Three-layer architecture: INetTransport / IReliableSession / IGameProtocol, with WorldSession as a thin behavior consumer. Concrete C# interface signatures, sub-component decomposition. - Worktree-branch big-bang migration on claude/phase-m-network-stack; weekly rebase cadence; single --no-ff merge ships the phase. - Per-sub-phase entry/exit gates, conformance test plan (golden vectors + live capture replay + live ACE smoke), 10-row risk register, scope- cut order if calendar compresses. - Cost: 256 hours / ~6.4 weeks single-developer; 4-6 weeks calendar with subagent parallelization on M.1 + M.6. 2. Opcode coverage matrix at docs/research/2026-05-10-phase-m-opcode-matrix.md (~284 rows across 5 sections): - Section 1: 22 transport flags (14 implemented). - Section 2: 12 optional-header fields (10 partial). - Section 3: 51 top-level GameMessages (21 implemented). - Section 4: 103 GameEvent sub-opcodes inside 0xF7B0 (27 parsed, 26 wired). - Section 5: 96 GameAction sub-opcodes inside 0xF7B1 (24 built, 8 with live callers). - Roll-up: ~34% complete by raw opcode count. Biggest single unblocking step is wiring the 16 dead builders in section 5 (Phase B.4 surface — Use / UseWithTarget / Allegiance / Inventory / Social / Cast / Appraise). - Sources cited per row: holtburger (629695a), ACE, named retail decomp, acdream current state. - Produced by 4 parallel research agents (one per class). Spot-check pass owed before M.1 closes. 3. Roadmap update: Phase M section trimmed to summary + status + pointer to the spec; the previously-tracked M.0 Tier 1 quick-wins are folded into M.3 / M.4 / M.6 per the spec; M.1 retained as the matrix construction sub-lane with status note. Why this shape: the user goal is a complete, layered, testable network stack that can be wired in as gameplay phases need it — independent of whether each opcode is yet hooked to game state. The matrix is the source of truth for "done"; the spec is the architecture the matrix implements against; the roadmap is the index that points at both. Decisions captured during the design discussion (in case they need revisiting): - Bar C ("wireable on demand") chosen over Bar A (holtburger parity) or Bar B (named-retail completeness). - Three layers (INetTransport / IReliableSession / IGameProtocol) chosen over holtburger's two-layer split. - Big-bang on a feature branch (worktree) chosen over strangler pattern; preserves live-ACE testing on main throughout the phase.

Goal and non-goals + +### 1.1 Goal + +Build a **complete, layered, testable network protocol library** for acdream that covers every wire opcode a 2013 EoR retail client receives, sends, or both — independent of whether each opcode is yet wired into game state. The library is delivered behind three interfaces (`INetTransport`, `IReliableSession`, `IGameProtocol`); the existing `WorldSession` shrinks to a thin behavior consumer on top. Every parser, builder, and transport feature is unit-tested with golden-vector fixtures and survives a live ACE smoke loop before the phase ships. + +The bar is **Bar C — "wireable on demand."** For every in-scope opcode: +- A typed message struct exists (record with named fields, no raw byte arrays) +- A parser exists if inbound (wire bytes → typed message) +- A builder exists if outbound (typed message → wire bytes) +- A round-trip test exists where applicable +- A golden-vector test exists pinning at least one canonical wire encoding +- Either the opcode is dispatched to a typed event observable by `WorldSession`, or its dispatch is documented as deferred to the gameplay phase that needs it (with the deferred-target named, e.g., "wired in Phase F") + +The **behavior layer** (what to DO with each message in game state) remains the responsibility of the gameplay phase that needs it. Phase M does not wire `HouseStatusUpdate` into a house-status panel; it ensures `HouseStatusUpdate` parses correctly into a typed event so the future Phase consuming it has zero protocol work. + +### 1.2 What "complete" is measured against + +The opcode coverage matrix at `docs/research/2026-05-10-phase-m-opcode-matrix.md` is the **source of truth** for "done."

Validations, accept rules, and game-side decisions live in ACE; we mirror only what the client must produce or consume. +- **Not** replacing acdream's stricter inbound checksum verification. Our `PacketCodec` validates more aggressively than retail did (per the existing class doc); we keep that unless named retail proves it's wrong. +- **Not** rewriting renderer, animation, audio, UI, plugin, or chat layers. Those have their own phases. The new network stack must compile under, and run alongside, the current rendering and gameplay code. +- **Not** introducing async/await across the codebase. The current `Tick()`-driven recv-loop model is preserved; layer extraction is structural, not asynchrony-restructuring. (We MAY add a dedicated network thread if M.7's runtime work warrants it, but that decision is internal to M.7.) +- **Not** handling opcodes that are ACE-only invented for emulation purposes (e.g., debug echos that retail never had). The matrix calls these out per row. +- **Not** optimizing for throughput. Correctness first. Allocation profile and CPU cost tuning is a follow-up phase if the live loop measurably regresses. +- **Not** plugin-API exposure of network internals. The plugin API gets typed-event subscriptions where useful; raw packet introspection is dev-only. + +### 1.4 What ships at the end of Phase M + +When M.8 closes: +- `src/AcDream.Net/` (new namespace) contains `INetTransport`, `IReliableSession`, `IGameProtocol`, their concrete implementations, and the typed message library. +- `src/AcDream.Core.Net/WorldSession.cs` is a behavior consumer ~200–400 LOC, not the current 1213 LOC monolith. +- The `tests/AcDream.Net.Tests/` project covers every protocol-layer surface with unit tests. +- A `tools/network-conformance-replay/` harness can replay a captured ACE session and verify byte-perfect outputs. +- `dotnet build` green, `dotnet test` green, live ACE smoke green: login → walk → chat → combat action → portal → logout, verified by user. +- The roadmap entry for Phase M moves from "PLANNED" to "shipped" with a one-line summary and commit reference. + +--- + +## 2. Coverage definition + +### 2.1 The opcode matrix + +The matrix is a markdown table at `docs/research/2026-05-10-phase-m-opcode-matrix.md`, grouped by layer: + +1. **Transport flags** — every value in `PacketHeaderFlags` (LoginRequest, ConnectRequest, AckSequence, EncryptedChecksum, BlobFragments, RequestRetransmit, RejectRetransmit, EchoRequest, EchoResponse, Flow, ServerSwitch, TimeSync, Disconnect, …). Each row says what the flag means, who sets it, and what acdream must do on receive. +2. **Optional-header fields** — every variable-length section (RequestRetransmit list, RejectRetransmit list, AckSequence, ConnectRequest payload, LoginRequest payload, CICMD, TimeSync, EchoRequest/EchoResponse times, Flow). Each row defines the byte layout and our parse/build status. +3. **GameMessage opcodes** — every top-level opcode the client sees (0xF658 CharacterList, 0xF745 CreateObject, 0xF74C UpdateMotion, 0xF7B0 GameEvent envelope, 0xF7DE TurbineChat, 0xEA60 AdminEnvirons, …) and every top-level opcode the client sends (0xF7C8 CharacterEnterWorldRequest, 0xF657 CharacterEnterWorld, 0xF61C MoveToState, 0xF61B JumpAction, 0xF753 AutonomousPosition, 0xF7E4 DddInterrogationResponse, …). +4. **GameEvent sub-opcodes** — every entry in `GameEventType.cs` (94 currently named; ~70+ currently unhandled). Each row identifies the parsing target plus the acdream wiring status. +5. **GameAction sub-opcodes** — every typed game-action ID (Talk, Tell, Channel, Use, UseWithTarget, MoveToObject, JumpAbsolute, CastSpell, Appraise, Identify, AttackTargetMelee/Missile, Allegiance ops, Inventory ops, Social ops, Skill/Attribute raise, Train, …). + +Each row has these columns: + +| Code | Direction | Name | Named-retail symbol or address | Holtburger | ACE | acdream today | Phase M target | Notes | + +Cell values for "Holtburger" / "ACE" / "acdream today": +- **`P`** — parses inbound +- **`B`** — builds outbound +- **`PB`** — both +- **`W`** — wired (parser/builder + dispatched to typed event consumed somewhere) +- **`–`** — not implemented +- **`N/A`** — not applicable for this side (e.g., a server-only message in ACE column) + +"Phase M target" cell values: +- **`PB+W`** — must parse, build (if outbound), wire to a typed event by phase end +- **`PB`** — must parse, build (if outbound), no wiring required +- **`P+W`** — inbound only, must parse and dispatch typed event +- **`–defer:`** — explicitly deferred to a named gameplay phase +- **`–skip:`** — out of scope, with justification + +### 2.2 Inbound parser obligations + +For every in-scope inbound opcode: + +- A typed C# record represents the message. Fields are named, typed, and ordered to match the wire layout (so a future reader can map field-to-byte without re-reading the parser). +- The parser is a static method on the record (`public static MyMessage Parse(ref BinaryReader r)`), throws `InvalidOperationException` on malformed input with a message containing the opcode and offset. +- A round-trip test exists if the opcode is also outbound. A golden-vector test always exists with at least one specific captured wire encoding. +- The parser dispatches to a typed event on `IGameProtocol` (`event Action OnMyMessage`). If wiring to game state is deferred, the matrix row says `–defer:` and the typed event still exists — gameplay-phase wiring is then a one-line subscription. + +### 2.3 Outbound builder obligations + +For every in-scope outbound opcode: + +- A typed C# record represents the message. +- A `Build(ref BinaryWriter w)` instance method writes the wire encoding. +- A golden-vector test pins at least one specific wire encoding. +- The high-level entry point lives on `IGameProtocol` (`Send(MyAction act)` or `Send(MyMessage msg)`). +- `WorldSession` exposes a behavior-friendly wrapper (`SendTalk(string text)` rather than `_protocol.Send(new TalkMessage { … })`) only for opcodes the user-facing app currently triggers. Less-used outbound builders stay on `IGameProtocol` directly until a gameplay phase needs the convenience wrapper. + +### 2.4 Three test fixture sources + +- **Golden vectors.** Hand-computed bytes for representative messages. Source: named retail decomp (extract via `tools/pdb-extract/`), holtburger captures, or by manual trace. Stored in `tests/AcDream.Net.Tests/Fixtures/Golden/.bin` plus a sibling `.json` describing the fields. +- **Live capture replay.** A captured session log (raw datagrams + timestamps) replayed offline against the new stack. Captures come from running acdream itself with a `ACDREAM_PCAP=1` env-var that dumps every datagram to disk. The first capture is recorded once Phase M.7's runtime is in place; subsequent captures replace it as features land. +- **Live ACE smoke.** Per-sub-phase, a live `dotnet run` against `127.0.0.1:9000` that exercises the relevant features. Final M.8 smoke covers login → walk → chat → combat action → teleport → reconnect → logout end-to-end. + +### 2.5 Acceptance for an in-scope opcode + +An opcode is "done" for Phase M when: + +1. Its matrix row is filled completely. +2. The typed message struct exists and matches the documented byte layout. +3. The parser and/or builder exist and pass round-trip tests where applicable. +4. At least one golden-vector test pins a canonical encoding. +5. The typed event is exposed on `IGameProtocol` (inbound) or the high-level send method exists (outbound). +6. The matrix row's `acdream today` column is updated to match `Phase M target`. + +The opcode-class agents working on the matrix produce the per-row data. Phase M.6 implementation work is then "for each row in the matrix where target ≠ today, write the code and tests." + +--- + +## 3.

Sets a 2 MiB recv buffer (matches holtburger). Bound to `0.0.0.0:0` by default; constructor accepts an explicit local endpoint for tests that need port reproducibility. +- `MockTransport` — in-memory channel with two queues: outbound (datagrams the SUT sent) and inbound (datagrams the test wants the SUT to receive). Tests assert against outbound, inject into inbound. No threads, no async, no time. + +**Forbidden in `INetTransport`:** +- Any knowledge of `PacketHeader`, `PacketHeaderFlags`, ISAAC, fragments, GameMessages. +- Dispatching to event handlers (it returns bytes; routing is the next layer up). +- Owning a recv loop.

Tracks `last_server_seq`, gaps, and feeds `RequestRetransmit` when gaps exceed the rate-limit threshold (1 second, max 115 seq IDs in a 256-seq window — match holtburger constants). +4. `OutboundPacketCache` — LRU dictionary (`max=512`) of recently-sent packets keyed by sequence. On server-issued `RequestRetransmit`, looks up + re-encrypts with current ISAAC + `RETRANSMISSION` flag. Uses `Iteration` field correctly. +5. `AckQueue` — pending-ack list. `IReliableSession.Tick` flushes via piggyback on the next outbound data packet; if no data goes out within the idle threshold, sends a standalone ACK packet. Piggybacks are automatic on every `SendGameMessage`. +6. `FragmentAssembler` — inbound: keyed by `(sequence, fragmentId)`, with TTL eviction (default 30s) for orphaned partials.

Pause and catch up if conflict effort exceeds 30min/week. | +| 2 | **Opcode ambiguity** — three sources (holtburger / ACE / named retail) disagree on a field layout. | Medium | Medium (delays the affected M.6 row) | Per-row triage: cross-check against live ACE traffic if available; file a research note documenting disagreement; pick the source with strongest evidence; revisit if a real-server-deploy phase invalidates the choice. | +| 3 | **ISAAC stream desync** — search-mode port has a subtle bug that corrupts the keystream. | Low | Critical (silent corruption looks like ACE incompat) | Parallel-run old + new ISAAC for 1 week in dev mode; log every divergence; smoke-test with synthetic out-of-order injection. | +| 4 | **Live ACE incompat** — new stack works in unit tests but real ACE rejects something subtle. | Medium | High (blocks M.8) | Per-sub-phase live smoke (not just final). Catches incompats early. | +| 5 | **Dead-builder integration drift** — Phase B.4 surface (Use/UseWithTarget/PickUp) was built without wiring; we may rebuild without verifying the wiring works. | Medium | Medium (fixes one bug, introduces another) | Every typed builder must have a golden-vector test. The matrix row's "Phase M target" includes "verified against live ACE" for any opcode previously dead-built. | +| 6 | **`Iteration` field** — current code always writes 0; if retail uses non-zero iteration on retransmits in a way ACE validates, we get rejected. | Low | Medium (breaks retransmit specifically) | M.3's retransmit test exercises iteration values 0, 1, 2; live-ACE smoke with synthetic loss to trigger real retransmits. | +| 7 | **Project structure refactor breaks downstream code** — moving `WorldSession` or deleting `AcDream.Core.Net` shifts a namespace many files reference. | High | Low (compile errors are immediate) | M.8 deletion is the last commit; entire branch compiles up to that point; deletion + namespace fix lands in one commit, single rebuild. | +| 8 | **Threading model regression** — if M.7 introduces a network thread, render-thread races appear. | Medium | High (intermittent crashes) | Default to keeping single-threaded model; threading is opt-in via a flag for one test session before becoming default. | +| 9 | **Test fixture rot** — golden vectors capture a 2026-05 ACE version; future ACE versions diverge. | Low | Low (fixtures still valid for retail-conformance baseline) | Golden vectors are pinned to retail behavior, not ACE-specific. Live capture replay is from acdream itself (most reproducible). | +| 10 | **Calendar overrun** — 6.4 weeks expands to 12+ weeks. | Medium | Medium (delays Phase F+ gameplay phases) | Mid-phase checkpoint at M.4 close (week 3 in plan).

GameWindow wires this to EntityClassificationCache.InvalidateLandblock so cache entries get swept on LB demote (Near to Far) and unload. Per spec section 5.3 W3b. The callback receives the canonicalized landblock id (low 16 bits forced to 0xFFFF), matching the LandblockHint stored at Populate time. Trace: GpuWorldState._loaded keys are canonical (set by AppendLiveEntity), LandblockEntries yields kvp.Key as LandblockId, WalkEntitiesInto propagates entry.LandblockId into _walkScratch, the dispatcher's populateLandblockId reads that tuple and stores it as LandblockHint. Phase 3 (invalidation hooks) complete. The cache now stays correct across all spec-identified mutation events: despawn, ObjDescEvent (despawn+ respawn), LB demote, LB unload. Two integration tests added: - RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock_FiresUnloadCallbackWithCanonicalId asserts the callback fires once with the canonical id even when called with a cell-resolved input (low 16 bits non-FFFF). - RemoveEntitiesFromLandblock_NotLoaded_DoesNotFireCallback asserts the early-return path doesn't fire the callback for unknown landblocks. Tests: 1706 passed / 8 failed (baseline). Sentinel: 110/110.

EntityClassificationCache keys by entity.Id alone, so cross-LB collisions caused cache pollution: multiple stabs sharing id=1 -> cache entry for id=1 ended up with the CONCATENATION of multiple entities' batches -> buildings rendered up in the air with wrong textures (visual gate observation 2026-05-10). Audit at docs/research/2026-05-10-tier1-mutation-audit.md did not verify entity.Id uniqueness - that was an unchecked assumption. Cache design trusted entity.Id was globally unique; for stabs it wasn't. Fix: optional landblockId parameter on BuildEntitiesFromInfo. When non-zero, stab Ids are namespaced as 0xC0XXYY00 + nextId, matching the scenery (0x80XXYY00) and interior (0x40XXYY00) namespacing already in GameWindow.cs. The 0xC0 top byte distinguishes stabs from those. Existing tests pass landblockId=0 and keep their legacy starting-from-1 behavior. Known latent: if any one landblock has >256 stabs, nextId overflows the low byte. Same pattern + same limitation as scenery/interior. Out of scope for the immediate Tier 1 cache bug; not affecting current Holtburg play. Adds 2 regression tests pinning the namespacing + the legacy fallback.

The matrix math (restPose * entityWorld == model) was provably correct, so the bug had to be cache key collision. Stabs were namespaced in commit 71d0edc, but scenery (0x80LLBB00 + localIndex) and interior (0x40LLBB00 + localCounter) still have the same 256-overflow risk. Dense LBs outside Holtburg (forest, urban) push localIndex past 255, wrapping into the lbY byte and creating cross-LB collisions. Fix: change the cache key from uint entityId to (uint, uint) tuple of (EntityId, LandblockHint). The cache is now correct-by-construction regardless of any hydration path's Id-generation strategy. Defensive against future regressions in any ID namespace. InvalidateEntity becomes a sweep (was O(1)), but it's called rarely (only on live-entity despawn). InvalidateLandblock was already a sweep. Updated 14 existing cache tests + 1 dispatcher integration test to thread landblockHint through TryGet / DebugCrossCheck calls.

Root cause: the dispatcher's slow path skips a MeshRef when _meshAdapter.TryGetRenderData returns null (mesh still async-decoding via ObjectMeshManager.PrepareMeshDataAsync). The classified-batches collector accumulates only the MeshRefs that DID resolve. At entity boundary, the cache populates with the PARTIAL set. Frame-2 cache hits serve that partial entry forever — even after the missing mesh loads, the cache continues to skip those parts because classification never reruns for cached entities. Fix: track currentEntityIncomplete during the foreach. Set it true on any null renderData. At entity boundary (and at end-of-loop), if the flag is set, DROP the accumulated populate scratch instead of writing it to the cache. The slow path retries on the next frame; once all meshes have loaded, the populate fires correctly with the complete classification.

Cache-disabled A/B run rendered trees correctly. So the bug is in the cache wiring. Root cause: c55acdc's `currentEntityIncomplete = false;` reset fired UNCONDITIONALLY at the top of every iteration. For a tree with MeshRefs [trunk valid, branches null, leaves valid], the tuple sequence is: - tuple 0 (trunk): no flag set - tuple 1 (branches): TryGetRenderData null → set flag, continue - tuple 2 (leaves): unconditional reset → flag = false (WRONG) - end-of-entity: flag is false, scratch has trunk+leaves batches but NOT branches → MaybeFlushOnEntityChange populates a PARTIAL cache entry - cache hits forever serve trunk+leaves with no branches Drudge happened to render correctly because its missing MeshRef was at the END of its MeshRefs list — no later tuple reset the flag. Adds a per-tuple `prevTupleEntityId` tracker for entity-change detection, updated UNCONDITIONALLY at end of each tuple (including tuples that skip via null renderData).

If a MeshRef's GfxObj is still decoding at first-frame visibility, `TryGetRenderData` returns null and the slow path skips it. Without the drudge fix (`c55acdc`), the cache populated a partial classification and cache hits served it forever — even after the missing mesh loaded.
