fnd(M01): add canonical coordinate mapper

Work-Package: M01-FND-COORDS-001
Agent: sindo-main-codex
Tests: coordinate mapper, M00 coordinate calibration, baseline manifest, coordination and documentation gates passed
Fidelity: five build 12340 camera points map within 0.002 yard; no visual parity claim

# ADR 0001: Canonical world coordinate contract
- Status: Accepted for M01 contract implementation
- Date: 2026-07-13
- Work package: `M01-FND-COORDS-001`
- Decision owners: M01 foundation/integration owners
## Context
OpenWC currently performs coordinate conversion in native ADT/WDT loaders,
`StreamingWorldLoader`, sky, player and renderer diagnostic scripts. The same
numbers are frequently carried in `Vector3` or dictionaries, so the coordinate
space is implicit. Existing names also mix ADT filename indices, renderer X/Z
indices and MDDF/MODF placement fields.
M00 recorded five positions observed in WoW 3.3.5a build 12340. They verify the
current client-position to Godot-position arithmetic within `0.002` yard, but
they do not define a cross-layer contract and do not prove camera composition
or visual parity.
Independent references agree on a 64 by 64 ADT grid and an approximately
`533.3333` yard tile size. They do not all use the word “canonical” for the same
axis order. OpenWC therefore needs names tied to observable formats instead of
adopting an internal convention from one reference project.
## Decision
### Canonical position
`CanonicalWowWorldPosition(X, Y, Z)` preserves the numeric X/Y/Z order used by
the WoW client, movement protocol and TrinityCore/AzerothCore world positions.
X and Y are horizontal; Z is height. Units are WoW yards.
`ServerWorldPosition` is a distinct type but converts component-for-component
to canonical. The type boundary prevents a server record from being passed
directly to renderer code and leaves room for adapter validation without a
silent axis swap.
### World extent and ADT indices
The contract uses:
```text
ADT_TILE_SIZE_YARDS = 1600 / 3
ADT_TILES_PER_MAP_AXIS = 64
WOW_WORLD_HALF_EXTENT_YARDS = 32 * ADT_TILE_SIZE_YARDS
tileX = floor(32 - canonical.X / ADT_TILE_SIZE_YARDS)
tileY = floor(32 - canonical.Y / ADT_TILE_SIZE_YARDS)
```
`AdtTileCoordinate(tile_x, tile_y)` always means the indices in
`Map_tileX_tileY.adt`. Results are intentionally not clamped: the exact
south-east extent produces index 64 and remains diagnosable as out of bounds.
Normal valid indices are 0 through 63.
An `AdtTileLocalPosition` is measured east and south from the tile's
north-west corner. An `AdtChunkCoordinate` uses `chunk_x` south and `chunk_y`
east, with valid indices 0 through 15. These direction names avoid pretending
that ADT file axes are Godot X/Z axes.
### ADT placement fields
MDDF/MODF position fields are represented in on-disk X/height/Z order:
```text
adt.X = halfExtent - canonical.X
adt.height = canonical.Z
adt.Z = halfExtent - canonical.Y
```
Model-local MDDF/MODF Euler corrections are not world orientation. They remain
outside this contract until a placement-orientation package has format- and
model-specific fixtures.
### Godot renderer basis
The compatibility renderer keeps one Godot unit equal to one WoW yard and uses
Y-up coordinates from the north-west map extent:
```text
godot.X = halfExtent - canonical.Y # east
godot.Y = canonical.Z # up
godot.Z = halfExtent - canonical.X # south
```
`GodotWorldPosition` contains scalars rather than `Vector3`. A scene/render
adapter may construct `Vector3` only at its boundary.
### World yaw
Server/canonical yaw zero faces increasing WoW X; positive yaw turns toward
increasing WoW Y. In the mapped Godot basis, Godot forward `-Z` and positive
Y-axis yaw produce the same numeric world angle. Mapper conversions therefore
normalize the value to `[-PI, PI)` without adding an offset.
This identity applies to world-facing yaw only. It does not apply to M2/WMO
asset axes or placement Euler triples.
## Alternatives considered
### Make renderer coordinates canonical
Rejected because protocol, database and ADT adapters would silently inherit a
presentation-specific offset and Y-up basis.
### Adopt WoWee's internal canonical axis names unchanged
Rejected because that reference swaps server X/Y into its chosen north/west
ordering. OpenWC preserves observable client/server field names and makes the
render/ADT transformations explicit instead.
### Use `Vector3` plus comments
Rejected because comments cannot prevent server, ADT and Godot values from
being passed across the wrong boundary.
### Generic vector-space or matrix framework
Rejected as unnecessary complexity for fixed affine transforms and integer
grid ownership rules.
## Consequences
- Network and server-data adapters can expose typed positions without knowing
Godot.
- Renderer consumers must explicitly map and then create Godot vectors at their
own boundary.
- ADT filename indices can no longer be confused with renderer X/Z tile names.
- Existing native/parser and renderer conversions remain unchanged until
separate consumer migration packages merge after this contract.
- Manual axis conversions become review/test violations once migration is
complete; this ADR alone does not delete compatibility paths.
- Persisted schemas are unchanged. Future serialized positions must include an
explicit coordinate-space/version discriminator.
## Verification
- Five M00 build-12340 client camera positions map to the recorded Godot
checkpoints within `0.002` yard.
- Server, ADT placement, Godot and tile-local conversions round-trip.
- Exact center, tile, chunk and world-extent boundaries have explicit tests.
- World-yaw normalization and round-trip cases cover cardinal angles and wrap.
