Erik 4d1b8b8aee docs(issues): #5 — VitalsPanel stam/mana null until LocalPlayerState lands
Filed as the one explicit post-D.2a follow-up. VitalsVM returns float?
null for Stamina/Mana because absolute values only arrive in
PlayerDescription (0x0013) today and we parse-then-discard. A small
LocalPlayerState Core class that retains the parsed fields unblocks
two more progress bars in the existing Vitals window — no new wire
work needed.

# acdream — known issues + small deferred features
Rolling tactical list. What goes here:
- **Bugs**: user-visible defects we've observed but haven't fixed yet.
- **Small deferred features**: work that fits in one or two commits.
Anything larger should be a named Phase in the [roadmap](plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md).
What does NOT go here:
- Large multi-commit work → add a Phase to the roadmap instead.
- Ideas / wishlist → `docs/plans/`.
- Design questions → open a `docs/research/*.md` note.
## Conventions
- Sequential integer IDs (`#1`, `#2`, …). Commits that close an issue reference the ID in the message (e.g. `fix #3: periodic TimeSync parsing`).
- `Status` is `OPEN`, `IN-PROGRESS`, or `DONE`. DONE items move to the **Recently closed** section at the bottom with closed-date + commit SHA.
- Every session: scan OPEN issues at start; promote/close anything we touched during the session before ending.
- Promoting to a Phase: mark as `DONE (promoted to Phase X)` + commit SHA where the Phase entry landed.

# Active issues
## #1 — Rain falls only to horizon, not to the player's feet
**Status:** OPEN
**Severity:** MEDIUM
**Filed:** 2026-04-25
**Component:** weather / particles
**Description:** During Rainy DayGroups, rain particles are visible in the upper sky band but fade out before reaching the camera / ground level. Retail's rain falls all the way past the camera to the terrain.
**Root cause / status:** Unknown. Likely one of: (a) particle emitter volume too short in Z, (b) particle lifetime shorter than the time it takes to traverse emitter-top → ground, (c) emitter anchored in world-space so particles escape the player's reference frame as they fall, (d) camera-relative spawn origin is offset too high above the player.
**Files:**
- `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs``UpdateWeatherParticles` (~line 4591)
- `src/AcDream.Core/Vfx/ParticleSystem.cs` — emitter spawn config + lifetime integration
**Research:** `docs/research/deepdives/r12-weather-daynight.md` (rain mechanism — but does not pin volume / lifetime values).
**Acceptance:** Standing at 9,115 in Holtburg during a Rainy DayGroup, rain drops visibly fall all the way from the sky band past the camera to the ground level.

## #2 — Lightning visual not wired (dat-baked PES triggers)
**Status:** OPEN
**Severity:** MEDIUM
**Filed:** 2026-04-25
**Component:** weather / sky / vfx
**Description:** Retail's Rainy DayGroup in the Dereth Region dat contains 12+ `SkyObject` entries with non-zero `PesObjectId` and narrow visibility windows (570 ms at keyframe-boundary moments) that drive PhysicsScript-authored flash + thunder effects. We render the sky meshes but ignore the PES path, so no lightning flashes appear during storms. The fragment-shader flash bump on `uFogParams.z` is already wired in `sky.frag` — only the CPU-side PES→runner wire is missing.
**Root cause / status:** Research complete. Implementation is: in `SkyRenderer.Render`, detect visibility-window entry on any SkyObject with `obj.PesObjectId != 0`, call `PhysicsScriptRunner.Play(pesObjectId, ownerId: sky-owner, anchorPos: camera)`, and route any `SetFlash` / `Sound` hooks from the script into `uFogParams.z` + audio.
**Files:**
- `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Sky/SkyRenderer.cs` — add per-SkyObject PES dispatch inside the visibility loop
- `src/AcDream.Core/Vfx/PhysicsScriptRunner.cs` — already shipped (Phase 6a); exposes `Play(scriptId, entityId, anchorWorldPos)`
- `src/AcDream.Core/Lighting/SceneLightingUbo.cs``FogParams.Z` is the flash slot; needs a sink that bumps it and decays
- `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Shaders/sky.frag` — flash bump already wired (`rgb += flash * vec3(1.5, 1.5, 1.8)`)
**Research:**
- `docs/research/2026-04-23-lightning-real.md` (decompile trace + dat discovery)
- `docs/research/2026-04-23-physicsscript.md` (runtime semantics)
- `docs/research/2026-04-23-lightning-crossfade.md` (crossfade mechanism)
**Acceptance:** During a Rainy DayGroup's storm window, visible flashes appear in the sky at the dat-scripted moments, the fragment-shader flash bump briefly brightens the scene, and (later, once thunder audio is wired) a thunder clap plays with a short propagation delay.

## #3 — Client clock drifts from retail after ~10 minutes (periodic TimeSync missing)
**Status:** OPEN
**Severity:** MEDIUM
**Filed:** 2026-04-25
**Component:** net / sky
**Description:** Our `WorldTimeService.DayFraction` syncs with the server once at login via `ConnectRequest + TimeSync`, then advances from the local wall-clock. Retail receives periodic `TimeSync` refreshes (header flag `0x1000000`) carrying a fresh `PortalYearTicks double` and re-anchors its clock. Without those, acdream's keyframe state drifts from retail's over 10+ minutes — observed during the 2026-04-24 sky-color debug sessions where retail was at DayFraction 0.976 while acdream was at 0.634.
**Root cause / status:** Mechanism is well-understood (see research). `WorldTimeService.SyncFromServer(double)` already exists — we just need to detect the periodic flag in the packet header and call it whenever a fresh tick arrives.
**Files:**
- `src/AcDream.Core.Net/WorldSession.cs` — header-flag parsing; currently only the initial sync is consumed
- `src/AcDream.Core/World/WorldTimeService.cs``SyncFromServer(double ticks)` ready; needs caller wiring
**Research:** `docs/research/deepdives/r12-weather-daynight.md` §TimeSync (line ~563). References retail packet-header flag `0x1000000` carrying `PortalYearTicks double`.
**Acceptance:** Probe retail via `tools/RetailTimeProbe` and acdream's ACDREAM_DUMP_SKY log at the same wall-clock moment after a 20-minute session without re-login; `abs(acdream.DayFraction - retail.DayFraction) < 0.01`.

## #4 — Sky horizon-glow disabled (fog-mix skipped on sky meshes)
**Status:** OPEN
**Severity:** LOW (aesthetic feature-parity, not regression from pre-session state)
**Filed:** 2026-04-25
**Component:** sky
**Description:** Phase 8.1 (commit `593b76f`) disabled the fog-mix on sky meshes to fix the "entire dome swallowed by fog color" regression. Dereth's keyframe `FogEnd` values (02400 m) are calibrated for terrain; sky meshes are authored at radii 105014271 m so every sky pixel was past `FogEnd`, saturated to `uFogColor`, destroying stars / moon / dome texture. Disabling the mix restored visibility but we lost retail's horizon-glow effect (gradient from clear zenith to fog-tinted horizon band at dusk/dawn).
**Root cause / status:** Three competing hypotheses, none pinned down: (a) retail uses a **different** fog range for sky than terrain; (b) retail applies fog with an **elevation-angle** weighting rather than linear distance; (c) retail's sky meshes **don't participate** in the global fog and the "horizon glow" comes from a different atmospheric-scatter path. Need to identify retail's actual sky-fog behaviour before re-enabling with correct parameters.
**Files:**
- `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Shaders/sky.frag` — line ~55, `rgb = mix(uFogColor.rgb, rgb, vFogFactor)` currently commented out
- `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/Shaders/sky.vert` — lines 109-114, `vFogFactor` computation
**Research:** `docs/research/2026-04-23-sky-fog.md`. Partial; doesn't pin the sky-specific fog path.
**Acceptance:** At dusk in Holtburg, the sky dome shows a clear zenith and a warm fog-tinted horizon band that matches retail's appearance, with stars / moon / sun / clouds all still visible at their correct brightnesses elsewhere in the frame.

## #5 — VitalsPanel stamina/mana bars always null (absolute values not stored)
**Status:** OPEN
**Severity:** LOW (cosmetic — HP bar already works; stam/mana would be a nice-to-have)
**Filed:** 2026-04-25
**Component:** ui / net / player-state
**Description:** Phase D.2a shipped `VitalsVM` with `StaminaPercent` / `ManaPercent` returning `float?` null. `VitalsPanel` already renders an HP progress bar from `CombatState.GetHealthPercent(localGuid)` because per-entity health is tracked from combat notifications. Stamina and mana are absolute values and only arrive in `PlayerDescription (0x0013)` — which we currently parse then discard. Result: the Vitals window shows HP only.
**Root cause / status:** We need a `LocalPlayerState` Core class (analogous to `CombatState` but scoped to the local player) that retains parsed `PlayerDescription` fields — at minimum: `CurrentStamina` + `MaxStamina` + `CurrentMana` + `MaxMana`. `AppraiseInfoParser.CreatureProfile` already has the shape for these values; we just don't persist them.
**Files:**
- `src/AcDream.Core.Net/Parsers/PlayerDescriptionParser.cs` — parses then discards (verify path)
- `src/AcDream.Core.Net/Parsers/AppraiseInfoParser.cs` — has `CreatureProfile` with absolute values
- `src/AcDream.UI.Abstractions/Panels/Vitals/VitalsVM.cs``StaminaPercent` / `ManaPercent` would divide `LocalPlayerState.Current*` by `Max*`
- `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs` — construct `LocalPlayerState`, hand to `VitalsVM`, wire into event dispatch
**Research:** none needed — wire-level field positions are already decoded in `PlayerDescriptionParser`.
**Acceptance:** With `ACDREAM_DEVTOOLS=1`, the Vitals window shows three progress bars (HP / Stamina / Mana) that update when the server sends `PlayerDescription` or any delta event (`UpdateHealth`, `UpdateStamina`, `UpdateMana`).

**Closed:** 2026-04-24
**Commit:** `593b76f sky(phase-8.1): CLAUDE_TO_EDGE on static sky meshes`
**Resolution:** Switched to `GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE` wrap mode for static sky
meshes; scrolling cloud layers kept `GL_REPEAT`. The 5 dome walls were
sampling opposite-edge pixels via UV wrap + LINEAR filtering, producing
visible seam lines that formed a cube outline across the view.
