Apparatus test (DoorCollisionApparatusTests) loads door GfxObj 0x010044B5
from the real dat, builds the door entity's shape list via
ShadowShapeBuilder, registers via RegisterMultiPart, and sweeps a player
sphere into the door from three angles. Pre-fix: all three assertions
fail — the sphere walks straight through. The [cyl-test] probe fires
every tick (the small Sphere shape is queried) but no [resolve-bldg] —
the per-Part BSP entry is never reached.
Root cause: ShadowObjectRegistry.GetNearbyObjects deduplicates on
entry.EntityId via HashSet<uint>. Pre-RegisterMultiPart each entity had
exactly one shadow row, so dedup-by-entityId correctly suppressed
multi-cell duplication. After Task 4's RegisterMultiPart introduced
multi-shape rows (1 Sphere + 1 per-Part-BSP for doors; potentially more
for creatures + items), the dedup silently drops everything after the
first. ShadowShapeBuilder emits Sphere shapes before Part-BSPs, so the
Sphere wins and the BSP is dropped — exactly the "Task 7 produced zero
[resolve-bldg] hits" finding from the 2026-05-24 evening handoff.
Fix: dedup on the full ShadowEntry. record-struct equality compares
all fields (EntityId, GfxObjId, Position, Rotation, Radius,
CollisionType, CylHeight, Scale, State, Flags, LocalPosition,
LocalRotation). Distinct shapes of the same entity are not equal and
make it through; the same shape registered in multiple cells (its
fields identical across calls) dedups exactly as before.
Apparatus verification post-fix: all 4 tests pass.
- Dead-center front approach: BLOCKED at Y=11.5 normal=(0,-1,0).
- 50 cm off-center: BLOCKED at Y=11.5 normal=(0,-1,0).
- Back approach from inside: BLOCKED at Y=12.8 normal=(0,+1,0).
- Diagnostic dump: BSP fires at tick 5.
What this fix DOES NOT do: switch live RegisterLiveEntityCollision to
use ShadowShapeBuilder + RegisterMultiPart. That's Task 7 of the
original plan, still reverted. With this foundation fix in place,
Task 7 should now actually deliver door blocking in production.
Test impact: 44/44 in the shape/registry/door scope pass. The broader
Physics suite shows the pre-existing PhysicsResolveCapture
static-state flakiness documented in CLAUDE.md — 6 baseline failures
without my new tests, 10 with them (4 extra are my apparatus tests'
IsPlayer-flag resolves getting captured by a concurrent Capture-test
race). Independent of this fix; verified by isolating each test
class.
