Owner G2 check at 4b0b29e4: Facility Hub PASS, Holtburg house PASS,
cathedral leak unchanged (S3/S4). Two new findings:
- doorway-sized fragments of houses on the terrace below show through
the hill in Holtburg: PortalDepthMaskRenderer draws every visited cell's
exit-portal fan with depth compare Always + write, so a doorway behind
terrain still punches far depth through it. Pre-existing; S4 owns the
punch (ledger row updated).
- the purple UnHide haze (script type 0x75, played on the retail
Hidden->visible physics-state edge) no longer shows on the local player
after a portal. Under investigation: temporary print-only traces
[pes-spawn]/[pes-vis] under ACDREAM_DUMP_PLAYSCRIPT=1 (launch-options row
amended; both die with the investigation) and a timed arrival route
tools/overhaul-selfgate/route-portal-haze.txt.

Every .csproj under tools/ is part of AcDream.slnx. The complete Release
gate restores and builds these tools, so a missing personal checkout or an API
change cannot leave a tracked tool silently broken. They are diagnostic/manual
programs: the gate builds them but does not run data-dependent investigations.
