+
+## Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Status | Implemented extraction |
+| Target/work package | M03 / `M03-RND-M2-MESH-LOAD-PIPELINE-001` |
+| Owners | Static M2 threaded request records and terminal finalize FIFO |
+| Last verified | Worktree `work/sindo-main-codex/m03-m2-mesh-load-pipeline`, 2026-07-17 |
+| Profiles/capabilities | Existing static M2 cached `.tscn`/`.glb` load path |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Own cross-frame bookkeeping between successful static M2 ResourceLoader request
+start, terminal loaded/failed polling and budgeted main-thread finalization. The
+loader retains every I/O and engine-resource operation.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Call ResourceLoader or select cache paths/formats.
+- Own M2 Mesh, scene, missing or material-refresh caches.
+- Extract Meshes from PackedScene/GLB Resources.
+- Consume finalize permits or rebuild/adopt runtime Meshes.
+- Merge static and animated M2 pipelines.
+
+## Context and boundaries

+Allowed dependencies are value containers, Strings and opaque integer statuses.
+ResourceLoader, filesystem, WorkerThreadPool, Mesh/Resource/Node/RID ownership,
+scheduler and other application layers are forbidden.

+Side effects are limited to collection mutation and retaining String/integer values.

+One path has at most one pending request. After completion it may be requested
+again only if loader cache/missing rules permit it.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Main thread serializes all state mutation and snapshots.
+- State owns only request/finalize Dictionaries containing Strings and status integers.
+- Loader owns ResourceLoader request lifetime and drains active paths before shutdown clear.
+- Loader owns Mesh/missing caches, material refresh, M2Builder and engine resources.
+- Snapshot and diagnostic records are detached; caller mutation cannot affect state.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Empty/duplicate request | State guard | Reject unchanged | Contract verifier | Correct caller/request later |
+| Request start failure | Loader return code | No state insert; mark missing | Existing loader behavior | Cache/source correction |
+| Non-terminal status | Loader poll | Keep pending | Existing queue metric | Poll next frame |
+| Terminal load failure | Status in popped record | Loader marks missing | Existing missing behavior | World/cache reload |
+| Empty defensive path | Loader before poll | Discard and mark missing | Source regression | Correct request producer |
+| Shutdown | Loader drains pending Resource paths | Clear state | Shutdown verifier | New loader starts empty |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+| Setting/capability | Default | Profile | Runtime mutable | Effect |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `m2_mesh_finalize_ops_per_tick` | `1` | Quality/custom | Yes | Bounds terminal FIFO pops outside state |
+| Cache extension order | `.tscn`, `.glb` | Existing M2 path | No | Loader selects request path |
+| Animated pivot-prefix GLB exclusion | Existing rule | All | No | Loader filters before request |
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No pipeline state is serialized. M2 cache formats, material refresh version and
+rebuild policy are unchanged; no migration or rebake is required.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+- `total_work_count` preserves all three historical `m2_mesh` metrics.
+- Diagnostic snapshots expose only paths/statuses, never loaded Resources or Meshes.
+- Existing loader logs and hitch sections remain unchanged.
+- Normalized M2 path is the correlation key.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_m2_mesh_load_pipeline_state.gd`: validation, dedupe, insertion-order
+  polling, terminal transition, completion FIFO, opaque status, discard, metrics,
+  detached diagnostics, loader ownership and 100-by-256 timing.
+- Classifier/material/shutdown/M2 placement/build regressions cover adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact state/lifecycle extraction; no asset-backed or
+  original-client visual parity claim is made.
+- Performance budget: 25,600 request/complete/pop transitions under one second.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- Mesh/missing cache adoption can move to a separate finalizer without changing this state.
+- Animated M2 has distinct candidate/static fallback semantics and remains separate.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Static M2 request/finalize state | Implemented extraction | Contract/source/timing verifier | Asset-backed long traversal pending |
+| ResourceLoader I/O | Existing loader-owned | Shutdown/material regressions | I/O adapter extraction optional |
+| Mesh cache/materialization | Existing loader-owned | Renderer/material tests | Separate state/finalizer extraction pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Records remain Dictionaries because ResourceLoader polling is a dynamic Godot boundary.
+- Clear does not drain ResourceLoader; caller ordering is mandatory.
+- Status integers are intentionally opaque inside state.
+- No private asset traversal, leak/descriptor-pressure or p95/p99 run is included.
