Erik c5e207a51f fix(app): Phase A.1 — LandblockStreamer lifecycle + threading hardening
Code review follow-up to commit 0904372. Five Important fixes plus
three Minor polish items found by the reviewer before StreamingController
depends on this class under churn.

I1: Dispose is now thread-safe via Interlocked.Exchange on an int
    guard. Two concurrent Dispose calls no longer double-dispose the
    CancellationTokenSource.

I2: EnqueueLoad/EnqueueUnload now throw ObjectDisposedException when
    called after Dispose instead of silently dropping the job. Jobs
    vanishing into a completed channel was a debugging hazard.

I3: Start throws ObjectDisposedException when called after Dispose
    instead of silently doing nothing (the old guard only checked
    whether the thread was non-null, not whether the streamer was
    still usable).

I4: New test Load_ExecutesLoaderOnBackgroundThread captures the
    loader delegate's ManagedThreadId and asserts it differs from
    the test thread's id, proving the whole reason this class
    exists (off-thread execution) is actually happening.

I5: New LandblockStreamResult.WorkerCrashed record type for the
    outer catch in WorkerLoop. Previously the crash path wrote
    Failed(0, ex.ToString()) which collided with landblock (0, 0)
    in the north ocean, making "worker crashed" indistinguishable
    from "landblock 0 failed to load".

Minor polish:
- M1: Test spin constants (SpinTimeoutMs, SpinStepMs,
  SpinMaxIterations) extracted so the 200 x 10ms pattern has one
  source of truth.
- M2: DefaultDrainBatchSize public const on LandblockStreamer so
  the batch cap has a name and a comment explaining why 4.
- M3: Safety-argument comment on the sync-over-async
  WaitToReadAsync call explaining why it cannot deadlock (dedicated
  thread, no SyncContext).
- M6: XML remarks on the class and on DrainCompletions documenting
  threading contract (Enqueue = any thread, Drain = single consumer
  thread).

112 Core + 96 Core.Net tests green.

acdream

Experimental modern open-source Asheron's Call client in C# / .NET 10.

Status: pre-alpha, not playable. Phase 0 only — dat file asset inventory.

Stack: .NET 10, Chorizite.DatReaderWriter for dat parsing. Silk.NET + Avalonia planned for rendering/UI (not yet wired up).

Requires: A retail Asheron's Call install (Turbine/Microsoft property — supply your own). Set ACDREAM_DAT_DIR environment variable to the directory containing client_portal.dat, client_cell_1.dat, client_highres.dat, and client_local_English.dat, or pass it as the first CLI argument.

Layout

  • src/AcDream.Cli/ — console app that dumps asset counts from a dat directory
  • references/ — local read-only reference material (ACE, ACViewer, WorldBuilder, DatReaderWriter, holtburger, retail AC install). Gitignored.

Run

dotnet run --project src/AcDream.Cli -- "C:\path\to\Asheron's Call"

Or set ACDREAM_DAT_DIR and run without args.
