# Slice G5 production closeout — 2026-07-25

## Status

Complete. Normal production consumes retained `RenderFrameView` route ranges
for both mesh submission and attached-particle ownership and does not build
`InteriorEntityPartition`. The former partition remains only for standalone
tests and explicitly enabled diagnostic/oracle probes.

The connected retained-path visual gate is also complete. The user accepted
stable server objects and paperdoll state across travel, restored distant
interaction, and retail-shaped `/ls` plus spell-recall materialization without
character pop or recall-animation tail.

## Exact implementation

| Commit | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `10ccce3f2dc38d1ff8ce5d0fbc962156a50b022d` | Retire the production `InteriorEntityPartition`; derive all five production mesh routes and attached-particle owner sets from the retained frame product. |
| `14fbe92b08a74326e59b085eba34d7b772e9c940` | Treat active-monitor refresh telemetry as temporarily unavailable during Windows console/RDP topology replacement, preventing a GLFW monitor-query exception from escaping the native move callback. |

`RenderFrameRouteOwnerSelector` supports exact-route replace/union and
all-range exclusion without warm-frame allocation. It supplies the
landscape-static, outside-dynamic, look-in, cell-static, and dynamic-last
particle passes. `RetailPViewRenderer` constructs the legacy partition only
when no retained product exists in a standalone test or when a legacy
comparison/probe explicitly requires it. Production diagnostics copy retained
source and route counts before arena release and therefore do not resurrect the
old enumeration.

## Connected correctness and lifecycle matrix

All reports identify the checked-out source and measured binary exactly and
end through graceful client shutdown.

| Exact post-fix dense redrive | `14fbe92b` | Pass, 0 failures | `logs/connected-dense-town-20260725-134935.report.json` |

The lifecycle gate's only warning is the canonical route's 25 expected
world-edge landblock misses. DAT-driven missing-emitter diagnostics remain the
known VFX-content warnings in the soak reports; no fallback effect is created.

The final dense redrive changed from the physical console to RDP before its
stationary sample, so its absolute timing is diagnostic only. It still proves
dense-scene construction, route completion, resource cleanup, and graceful
shutdown on the exact post-fix binary.

## Ordinary production profile

A separate Release client ran uncapped with:

- no UI probe or automation route;
- no automation artifact owner or screenshot/current-path oracle;
- no developer tools;
- no WB diagnostic comparison;
- only the permanent frame profiler and frame-history recorder.

The physical-display capture stayed at the normal Aerlinthe scene for its final
stable minute. The retained frame product was the sole production draw source.

| Metric | Final stable 60 seconds |
|---|---:|
| Frames / throughput | 31,180 / 519.7 FPS |
| CPU frame p50 / p95 / p99 / max | 1.869 / 2.306 / 2.484 / 6.727 ms |
| GPU frame p50 / p95 / p99 / max | 1.096 / 1.108 / 1.136 / 1.342 ms |
| Update p50 / p95 / p99 | 0.239 / 0.274 / 0.366 ms |
| Frame-thread allocation p50 / p95 / p99 | 22,880 / 24,056 / 24,216 B |

External five-second CPU and three-sample Windows GPU counters measured:

| Resource | Value |
|---|---:|
| Process CPU | 9.74% of 16 logical processors, about 1.56 cores while uncapped |
| Working set | 652.1 MiB |
| Private bytes | 928.3 MiB |
| Threads / handles | 35 / 755 |
| GPU 3-D engine | 32.11% average, 64.37% maximum |
| Dedicated / shared GPU process memory | 449.8 / 17.3 MiB |

Evidence:
`logs/g5-production-uncapped-20260725-134345.frame.csv` and
`logs/g5-production-uncapped-20260725-134345.out.log`.

This is not presented as a capped-versus-uncapped memory comparison: scene,
camera, pacing, and cache age must match before making that claim. It is an
honest ordinary-production absolute point. Relative to Slice H's separate
ordinary-production frame-thread baseline, median allocation fell from
25.6 KiB to 22.34 KiB (12.7%), CPU p95 improved from 2.5–2.8 ms to
2.306 ms, and GPU median improved from 1.2–1.3 ms to 1.096 ms.

## Remaining allocation owner

G5 removed the retained current-render partition identified by Slice H.
Ordinary production still allocates 22.34 KiB/frame, above the program's
initial 4 KiB/frame whole-client target. The prior allocation-tick stacks and
the four-mover Slice-I baseline identify reset-complete `Transition`
collision/query scratch as the next dominant owner. That storage/lifetime
change is intentionally Slice I1, where differential trajectory tests can
prove that reusing scratch changes no retail collision decision or float.

G5 therefore closes its render-scene ownership contract without weakening the
program-level allocation target. Slice I owns the measured remainder.

## Verification

- Focused display-pacing/callback/settings suite: 70 passed.
- Release solution build: pass; 16 already tracked test-project warnings.
- Complete invariant-culture Release suite: 8,335 passed / 5 skipped.
- Connected lifecycle/reconnect: pass on exact `14fbe92b`, both sessions exit
  code 0 and graceful logout confirmed.
- User visual acceptance: pass on 2026-07-25.
- No new retail divergence was introduced.
