Erik 356545c530 fix(chargen): Campaign CC CC5 re-review residuals R1-R5 + nits — REVIEW-CLOSED
The narrow re-review of fix commits 0c8e1e7d+2d4168f9 found every code fix
oracle-verified but returned NOT CLOSED on five test/doc residuals plus
three nits and a follow-up filing. All fixed:

- R1: the claimed "external-change->user-commit->SetName" regression test
  for F1 (the deleted _suppressNextFieldEvent latch) never existed — the
  Runtime-layer randomize test doesn't touch the page. Added
  CharacterCreationUiControllerTests.SummaryNameField_RealCommitAfter
  ExternalRefreshWhileUnfocused_StillReachesSetName: drives Refresh with a
  revision bump + changed snapshot.Name while the field is unfocused (the
  programmatic SetText path that used to arm the latch), THEN performs a
  real user commit (field.SetText + field.Submit(), the actual event path),
  asserting SetName receives the player's typed text.
- R2: RetailSkillFormula.CalculateChargenScore and ChargenSkillScoreResolver
  had zero direct coverage (the F12(d) test substitutes skillId*10). Added
  a Untrained/Trained(+5)/Specialized(+10) theory, the divisor-zero skip
  path, and a six-way AttributeId theory (Str=1..Self=6) to
  RetailSkillFormulaTests.cs.
- R3: RetailSkillFormula.cs's doc comment claimed "no retail-authored skill
  sets MinLevel above Untrained=1" without ever reading the field — ACE's
  own SkillBase.cs hedges the same field "// 1-2?". MEASURED (not assumed)
  against the installed EoR dat's global SkillTable
  (CharacterCreationLiveDatTests.SkillTable_MinLevelDistribution_
  NeverExceedsTrained): 23 skills at MinLevel 1, 15 at MinLevel 2, zero
  above 2, of 38 priced skills. ACE's hedge was right; the doc comment now
  states the measured fact and leans on the structural argument (the gate
  holds for Trained/Specialized under any MinLevel in {1,2}) as load-
  bearing, not the unverified data claim.
- R4: filed AP-228 — the Summary/Skills skill-row KEY sources from
  ItemAppraisalTextFormatter.SkillName's hardcoded English switch, where
  retail's own key is DAT-sourced (SkillBase->_name via %hs,
  0x0047b90f-0x0047b915) — same divergence class as AP-226 filed the same
  round, reversed polarity, also present at CC4's Skills page. Softened
  AP-224's "ported exactly, not simplified" claim: it only ever covered the
  row's VALUE/template, never its KEY.
- R5: this commit corrects 0c8e1e7d's gate claim. "Release build zero
  warnings" was false: a clean `dotnet build -c Release -t:Rebuild` shows
  25 pre-existing warnings (18 in tests/AcDream.Core.Tests, 7 in
  tests/AcDream.App.Tests — Composition/HostInputCameraCompositionTests.cs,
  Composition/WorldRenderCompositionTests.cs,
  UI/Layout/OptionsPanelLiveMountProbeTests.cs), none in any file this
  campaign or its residual round touched. History is not amended; this is
  the correction.

Nits: the ChargenPreviewController ctor doc now also cites
gmCGSummaryPage::Update @0x0047baa0 (the per-heritage re-derive site — 0xc
Olthoi/0xd OlthoiAcid/else — not just the one-shot InitializePage seed) as
the stronger justification for why Rebuild re-derives the zoomed-out eye
per heritage on every change. RuntimeCharacterCreationState's F2 comment
("Finish becoming a permanent no-op") reworded: the same unconditional
_verificationPending = false assignment ran pre-fix too, so Finish was
never blocked — only the response FEEDBACK vanished (no dialog, no created
character, nothing), not the request itself. Filed #404 for
ChargenSkillScoreResolver's own independent SkillTable read alongside
ChargenTableReader's (cleanup follow-up, out of this round's scope).

Ledger: CC5 flipped REVIEW-CLOSED in the campaign plan (dual-lens
architectural PASS-with-items / retail-fidelity FAIL -> F1-F14 fix round
0c8e1e7d -> narrow re-review: all code oracle-verified, residuals R1-R5
test/doc -> this commit; re-reviewer pre-authorized lead diff-check close).
This commit's own sha is recorded by a follow-up ledger-only commit,
matching 2d4168f9's own pattern.

Gates: Release build 0 errors (25 pre-existing warnings, unrelated to this
round — see R5 above); App suite 5257/3 skips (was 5242/3), 0 failed;
Runtime suite 1726/0 (unchanged); the three new/measured tests (R1, R2's
ten cases, R3) all pass individually.

acdream documentation map

This page is the entry point for project documentation. It distinguishes current sources of truth from implementation history so an old plan or issue banner cannot silently override the current program state.

Current snapshot — 2026-07-27

  • Milestone state: M3, “Cast a spell,” landed 2026-07-21. M4, “Live in the world,” is active.
  • M4 gameplay program: resume the pre-M4 world-interaction completion program. Favorite-spell overflow, status Use/Assess, and the complete assessment surface are user-accepted. Equipped-child picking and vendor browse/transactions remain Slices 46.
  • Structural/runtime state: all eight GameWindow decomposition slices, Modern Runtime Slices AJ, and the connected visual/lifecycle gates are complete. GameWindow is a 1,622-line composition/callback shell. AcDream.Runtime.GameRuntime owns canonical session, entity/object, gameplay, movement, physics, projectile, environment, and portal state; graphical and no-window hosts borrow the same owner graph.
  • Headless state: Slice K is complete. AcDream.Headless is a presentation-free Windows/Linux host with deterministic commands/events, shared immutable content, multi-session isolation, reconnect, resource telemetry, and 1/5/10/30-session gates. The final two-account native-Linux soak completed ten minutes, logged out through ACE, and converged every ownership ledger.
  • Linux graphical state: Slice L0 and the L1 implementation checkpoint are complete at 66f114b2 and 11501d52. Native Windows passes the active modern-GL/audio/window smoke. WSLg X11/Wayland correctly reject their missing GL_ARB_bindless_texture. Physical-Linux validation and L2L6 are explicitly deferred; resume at the supported AMD/NVIDIA L1 gate.
  • Completed gameplay gates: R6 locomotion/collision/projectile/teleport/ radar, two-client portal-out/materialization, indoor prepared collision, loot ordering, local/remote ground drops, and selection-marker lifetime.
  • Separate visual verification: issue #225, the shared-alpha lifestone/particle result; its connected resource-lifetime and performance routes pass.
  • Carried behaviour debt: issue #153 (far teleport onto an unstreamed edge), #116 (narrowed slide response), #235 (capped/RDP jump cadence), and the active temporary-stopgap rows in the divergence register.
  • Divergence audit: 189 active rows — IA 18, AD 38, AP 91, TS 38, and UN 4 — plus retained struck/retired historical rows such as TS-37.
  • Latest automated baseline: the Release build succeeds with the 17 test-project warnings tracked by issue #228; 8,826 tests pass and five are intentionally skipped. App passes 3,763 / 3 skips. The L1 Windows supported smoke and WSLg X11/Wayland negative-capability reports all end with zero window/GL/input/audio ownership.

Sources of truth

Read these in this order when deciding what to do next:

  1. plans/2026-05-12-milestones.md — the active playable outcome, freeze boundaries, and visual gates.
  2. plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md — strategic phase ledger: shipped, active, deferred, and future work.
  3. ISSUES.md — tactical defects and small follow-ups. The status inside an issue is authoritative; physical order is not.
  4. architecture/retail-divergence-register.md — every known place runtime behavior can differ from retail.
  5. architecture/acdream-architecture.md and architecture/code-structure.md — ownership, dependency, update-thread, and extraction rules.
  6. architecture/worldbuilder-inventory.md — rendering/DAT code already owned in-tree versus mechanisms still ours to port.

If these disagree, milestones control the current outcome, the roadmap controls work ordering, the issue status controls the individual defect, and the architecture documents control implementation shape. Reconcile the stale document in the same change; do not leave both claims standing.

Research and implementation records

  • research/named-retail/ is the primary retail oracle: named pseudo-C, headers, symbols, and types from the Sept 2013 build.
  • research/decompiled/ is the older Ghidra fallback.
  • research/ contains focused pseudocode, traces, fixtures, and gate reports. A dated research note records evidence; it does not become a new roadmap.
  • superpowers/specs/ and superpowers/plans/ are per-slice design and execution records. Completed plans remain historical.
  • audit/ contains completion and conformance audits.
  • reference/ace-commands.md preserves the local ACE server's complete in-game command catalog and points to the authoritative per-command help surface.

Durable memory

  • ../claude-memory/MEMORY.md indexes the live subsystem memories and the render/physics digests. Read a domain digest before changing that subsystem, especially its DO-NOT-RETRY table.
  • ../memory/ contains stable engineering references such as the modern rendering pipeline, two-tier streaming, and toolchain notes.

Memory accelerates recall; it does not outrank the canonical documents above. When current truth changes, update the relevant canonical document and distill only the durable lesson into memory.

Historical and deprecated documents

  • bugs.md is the April 2026 bug snapshot. It is preserved for archaeology and is not an active ledger.
  • Dated plans and specs describe the decision at that time. Their completion wording is historical unless the current milestone/roadmap explicitly links the item as active.
  • Old R1→R8 architecture sequencing is superseded. Current execution comes from the milestones and strategic roadmap.

Documentation maintenance rules

  • Update milestone, roadmap, issue, divergence, architecture, and memory claims in the same commit when a shipped change affects them.
  • Keep one issue ID per defect. Narrow an issue in place; do not reuse another issue's number as a shorthand.
  • Mark automated, connected, and visual gates separately. An automated pass is not a visual acceptance, and an RDP throughput sample is not a local-display visual comparison.
  • Preserve research history, but remove stale “current/next” claims from living documents once the state advances.
