+| Profiles/capabilities | Profile-independent cached WMO `.tscn` finalization |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Finalize pending cached WMO `.tscn` requests outside `StreamingWorldLoader`:
+poll terminal status, retrieve a PackedScene, instantiate one validation probe,
+apply existing WMOBuilder cache metadata rules, release the probe and publish
+either the exact scene or the historical missing outcome.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Select paths, measure file size or start ResourceLoader requests.
+- Instantiate placed WMO scenes or execute live WMOBuilder fallback.
+- Own cache lifetime, placements, build queues, permits or attached Nodes.
+- Change cache metadata/version rules, fallback order or visible behavior.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Renderer main thread serializes polling, instantiation and cache publication.
+- Finalizer owns every call-local validation probe and frees it before return.
+- Non-Node3D rejected roots are also freed, closing the prior leak edge.
+- Cache state adopts accepted exact PackedScene references until full clear.
+- Loader owns admission/size policy, live fallback, placed Nodes and shutdown order.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Null cache state | Guard | Return zero | Contract verifier | Correct composition |
+| Non-terminal | Status | Retain pending | Pending count | Poll later |
+| Failed/null/wrong Resource | Status/type | Complete missing | Synthetic fixture | Reset/rebuild cache |
+| Non-Node3D root | Probe type | Free probe; complete missing | Type/lifetime fixture | Rebuild cache |
+| Stale metadata | Injected validator | Free probe; complete missing | Validation fixture | Rebuild/reset |
+| Shutdown | Loader lifecycle | Drain then clear cache | Shutdown verifier | New loader starts absent |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The loader injects the existing WMOBuilder cache validator. `wmo_cache_dir`,
+`wmo_max_runtime_scene_mb`, debug logging, request timing and WMO budgets remain
+loader-owned. No setting, profile or cache version is added.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No data is serialized. Existing WMOBuilder metadata/version acceptance is called
+unchanged before adoption. The rejected-root lifetime fix needs no migration or
+rebake and does not alter accepted cache output.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+- Poll returns terminal completion count for tests/future metrics.
+- Existing pending count and renderer `wmobuild` metrics remain unchanged.
+- No logs are emitted; oversize debug logging remains at loader admission.
+- Normalized WMO relative path remains the correlation key.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_wmo_scene_resource_finalizer.gd`: null/non-terminal, insertion order,
+  failed/load boundary, null/wrong/non-Node3D/stale rejection, current exact
+  identity, accepted/rejected probe release, source ownership and timing.
+- Scene cache, render finalizer/cache, WMO queue/planner/registry/resolver,
+  shutdown, facade, internal-access and baseline regressions cover neighbors.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact orchestration extraction plus rejected-root leak
+  repair; no asset-backed visual or original-client parity claim is made.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- Legal current/stale serialized `.tscn` fixtures can extend evidence unchanged.
+- Placed-scene preparation stays separate because it mutates an attached WMO
+  instance rather than a call-local validation probe.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Cached WMO scene terminal polling | Implemented extraction | Status/order/source/timing verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Probe validation/lifetime | Implemented extraction | Current/stale/type/free fixtures | Serialized fixture pending |
+| Scene/missing publication | Implemented extraction | Exact identity/negative fixtures | Asset-backed lifetime/leak run pending |
+| File-size admission/live fallback | Loader-owned | Existing scene-cache regressions | Separate extraction if justified |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- PackedScene instantiation/metadata validation remains synchronous main-thread work.
+- No proprietary WMO corpus, serialized stale/oversize fixture, long leak run,
+  traversal p95/p99 or paired original-client capture is included.
