+- `EntityPresentationSnapshot` contract version 1 combines session `EntityId`,
+  typed Godot world position, visual PackedScene path, finite yaw/scale and visibility.
+- `WorldRenderFacade.present_entity()` and `remove_entity()` delegate to an explicit
+  scene-owned `WorldEntityPresenter`; both runtime scenes compose that service.
+- The presenter owns only visual subtrees. Same-path snapshots update transform/
+  visibility, changed paths replace after successful instantiation, and removal
+  detaches plus queues the owned root for deletion.
+- The local player, authoritative state, GUID mapping and asset/display selection
+  remain outside this service. Runtime emits no entity commands yet, so baseline
+  output is unchanged.
+- PackedScene loading is currently synchronous on create/replace and is a documented
+  prototype limitation, not an accepted network-scale frame-critical path.
+
 ## Practical Rule For Future Work
 
 If something improves quality but creates visible hitch, it is not done. Move it to bake/cache/background work, split finalization over frames, or prewarm it before the player can see it.

+- Fidelity: runtime produces no world-entity commands yet, so all seven baseline

+  display, equipment, animation, effects or visibility parity claim is added.
+- External/local inputs: ignored native DLL and generated ADT scripts supported
+  editor/dry-run only. Missing proprietary ADT/DBC/character corpus produced the
+  expected degraded diagnostics.
+- Remaining risks: PackedScene create/replace loads synchronously and is not an
+  accepted network-scale hot path; resource paths are adapter inputs rather than
+  stable content IDs; animation/equipment/effects and scale profiling remain open.
+- Documentation updated: new world-entity-presentation API/input-output/data-flow/

+
+## Purpose
+
+Accept immutable session-local entity visual snapshots through
+`WorldRenderFacade`, create or update renderer-owned visual subtrees idempotently,
+and remove them explicitly without making the renderer authoritative for entity,
+gameplay, network or content state.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Allocate `EntityId` or map it to `WowGuid`, display ID or server entry.
+- Present the separately composed local player through this service.
+- Define build-12340 model, equipment, animation, effects or visibility rules.
+- Own gameplay/world state, packet decoding, terrain or streaming decisions.
+- Provide asynchronous loading, pooling, batching, persistence or cache formats.

+- synchronously loads a PackedScene only for first presentation or visual-path change;
+- instantiates, attaches, transforms, detaches and queues visual Node3D subtrees;
+- does not mutate authoritative state, streamer queues, caches, files, DB or network;
+- does not retain caller snapshots after an entity entry is replaced or removed.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- `EntityPresentationSnapshot` owns copied scalars/strings and immutable references
+  to caller-owned identity/position values; it owns no Node, Resource or RID.
+- `WorldEntityPresenter` owns its dictionary and every visual root attached below it.
+- A dictionary entry retains the latest snapshot only while the entity is presented;
+  diagnostics expose no Node, Resource or snapshot reference.
+- Scene load, instantiation, transform mutation, replacement and removal are main-thread only.
+- Successful replacement instantiates first, then detaches the previous root, so an
+  invalid/missing new asset cannot erase the last valid presentation.
+- Parent SceneTree teardown owns attached children; `_exit_tree` drops the index so
+  no stale lookup survives world unload.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Invalid identity/type | Snapshot/service validation | Reject without mutation | `entity_presentation_invalid_entity_id` | Supply valid session `EntityId` |
+| Non-finite position/yaw | Snapshot validation | Reject without mutation | Stable position/yaw failure code | Repair adapter read model |
+| Empty path or invalid scale | Snapshot validation | Reject without mutation | Stable path/scale failure code | Supply valid visual descriptor |
+| Missing/non-PackedScene asset | Resource existence/load check | New visual absent; old replacement retained | Named presenter warning | Restore asset mapping and resend snapshot |
+| Non-Node3D scene root | Instance type check | Free invalid instance; retain old | Named presenter warning | Fix visual scene root |
+| Unknown remove | Dictionary lookup | No mutation; return `false` | Caller command result | Reconcile registry/presentation lifecycle |
+| World teardown | Scene lifecycle | SceneTree frees children; index clears | Shutdown regression | Recreate service with next world |
+
+There is no background job to cancel. Synchronous asset load is an explicit
+prototype limitation and must be replaced/budgeted before network-scale use.
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+| Setting/capability | Default | Profile | Runtime mutable | Effect |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Contract version | `1` | All | No | Identity/path/position/yaw/scale/visibility full snapshot |
+| Present semantics | Idempotent by `EntityId` | Runtime/tools | No | Duplicate snapshots do not duplicate roots |
+| Resource loading | Synchronous on create/replace | Prototype only | No | Not accepted as frame-critical production path |
+| Local player | Separate composition | Current sandbox | No | Prevents facade service from owning gameplay player root |
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+- No snapshot, entity key or resource instance is persisted.
+- `EntityId` remains session-local and must never enter content/cache schemas.
+- Resource paths are current renderer adapter inputs, not stable content identity.
+- Contract version 1 is additive. Changing identity lifetime, coordinate basis or
+  persisted representation requires a migration and ADR.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+- `entity_presentation_snapshot()` reports contract version, entity count and a
+  sorted list of `EntityId.to_debug_key`, visual path and visibility.
+- The snapshot is deep-detached by the facade and contains no Node/Resource/RID.
+- Load/type failures include the visual path but never proprietary bytes.
+- Future performance telemetry should measure create/replace duration and active
+  entity/material/RID counts before introducing pooling or batching.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `src/tools/verify_world_entity_presentation.gd` covers eight value-contract and
+  fourteen lifecycle/ownership cases with repository-owned asset-free scenes.
+- `src/tools/verify_world_render_facade.gd` covers command delegation, detached
+  diagnostics and both runtime scene service paths.
+- Identity, coordinate, renderer-internal-access, shutdown, manifest, planner,
+  scheduler and documentation gates remain required.
+- Fidelity boundary: runtime emits no entity commands yet, so existing seven
+  checkpoint scenes remain unchanged. No build-12340 display/animation parity is claimed.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- AssetRepository/display-ID adapter that produces validated visual descriptors.
+- Async/budgeted load and main-thread finalize behind the same facade commands.
+- Animation/equipment/effect snapshots after build-12340 fixtures define behavior.
+- Spatial batching/MultiMesh only after profiling proves per-Node overhead.
+- Entity registry adapter that maps `WowGuid` to session `EntityId` outside render.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Typed entity visual input | Implemented contract | Versioned immutable validation fixtures | Asset/display mapping not implemented |
+| Present/update/remove lifecycle | Implemented boundary | Asset-free create/update/replace/remove tests | Network-scale async/budget path missing |
+| Deterministic ownership | Implemented | One presenter-owned root per EntityId; teardown checks | RID/material budgets remain future work |
+| WoW entity visual fidelity | Planned | No claim | Requires build-12340 display/equipment/animation fixtures |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Synchronous PackedScene load may hitch and is not a production hot-path design.
+- Resource path is renderer adapter data, not stable authored content identity.
+- Full snapshots currently cover transform/visibility only, not animation/equipment/effects.
+- One Node3D per entity is unprofiled at world scale; batching is deliberately deferred.
+- The local player remains separately composed until gameplay/network architecture is ready.
