+  claim. Long traversal and original-client approval remain release gates.

 ## 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.

+## Handoff
+
+- Commits: `d9d20cb`, `3bf1c2c`, `203d40b`; fast-forwarded to `master`.
+- Verification: all `67/67` autonomous Godot verifiers; M2 playback `20`
+  cases; renderer contracts `workers=4 frame_steps=15 cache_versions=7
+  nested_glb=1`; performance stability `84` metrics with `0` repeatable
+  regressions; documentation, coordination and diff gates passed.
+- Fidelity: exact cache inventory and asset-backed checkpoints cover terrain,
+  ADT boundary, dense M2, large WMO, liquid, native animation and dusk sky.
+  This is extraction/performance evidence, not original-client pixel parity.
+- Remaining risks: original-client visual approval, long-traversal descriptor
+  pressure, scaling native animation beyond CPU deformation and interruption of
+  already in-flight worker jobs remain later release concerns.
+- Documentation: added the renderer closeout module specification with data-flow
+  and sequence diagrams; updated testing policy, renderer source maps, M2
+  animation ownership/sequence documentation, `RENDER.md` and M03 Evidence.

+## Outcome
+
+Move cached animated M2 ResourceLoader status polling, terminal Resource load,

+from the loader into a dedicated two-phase finalization service.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Change cached animation eligibility, request admission or native-first order.
+- Move material-prototype lookup, permit ownership, playback or materialization.
+- Change ResourceLoader status order, cache formats, profiles or visible output.

+
+## Contracts and data
+
+- Pending request snapshots are polled in existing Dictionary insertion order.
+- Empty Resource paths are discarded and marked static-only immediately.
+- Only LOADED/FAILED statuses move into completion-order finalize FIFO.
+- One permit processes one popped terminal record, including skipped/stale records.
+- Existing prototype/static-only state suppresses terminal Resource loading.
+- LOADED Resource is instantiated before material-prototype lookup is requested.
+- Candidate repair/finalize/adoption and exact `M2_ANIM_CACHE` debug fields remain.
+- Rejected candidates are released by the existing animated scene finalizer.

+- Agent ID: `sindo-main-codex`
+- Target: M03 Renderer Facade and Safe Extraction
+- Branch: `work/sindo-main-codex/m03-m2-static-build-resource-observer`
+- Worktree: `C:\Users\sindo\open-wc-worktrees\m03-m2-static-build-resource-observer`
+
+## Outcome
+
+Move static M2 build cache lookup, threaded request selection and terminal
+missing transition from the loader into a service that fills
+`M2BuildResourceSnapshot`.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Move animation/native prototype observation or finalize drains.
+- Own/free Meshes, Nodes or cache entries.
+- Change path candidate order, GLB filtering, retry behavior, permits or visuals.
+- Change cache formats, profiles or batching.
+
+## Paths
+
+- Exclusive: `src/render/m2/m2_static_build_resource_observer.gd`,
+  `src/tools/verify_m2_static_build_resource_observer.gd`,
+  `docs/modules/m2-static-build-resource-observer.md`, this claim
+- Shared: loader, M2 snapshot/dispatch/pipeline/cache specs and verifiers,
+  world renderer, module registry, RENDER and M03 Evidence
+
+## Contracts and data
+
+- Cached Mesh wins; terminal missing returns missing; existing pending request waits.
+- Candidate order remains normalized/lowercase nested then basename per extension.
+- `.tscn` precedes `.glb`; pivot-prefix GLB is skipped for static build.
+- Successful/`ERR_BUSY` request is remembered; no usable candidate marks missing.
+- Snapshot adopts exact Mesh/missing result; service never frees engine objects.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Requires: accepted resource snapshot `032a256`
+- Blocks: remaining animated resource observer extraction
+
+## Verification
+
+- Synthetic cache/pipeline/snapshot lifecycle, path order, source boundaries and timing;
+  adjacent M2 and renderer gates; full headless suite and checkpoint dry-run.
+
+## Documentation deliverables
+
+- Inline API docs; module API/I/O/ownership; data-flow/state/sequence/dependency
+  diagrams; adjacent renderer docs and M03 Evidence.
+
+## Status
+
+- State: accepted
+- Done: implementation, integration and post-merge acceptance
+- Next: remaining animated resource observer extraction
+- Blocked by:
+
+## Handoff
+
+- Commit: `7cb3e34` (`render: extract static M2 build resource observer`)
+- Results: observer PASS (`11` cases, `20,000` iterations, `64.654ms`);
+  full autonomous suite PASS (`55/55`); renderer checkpoint dry-run PASS (`7/7`);
+  internal-access PASS (`30` private symbols); documentation PASS (`42` module
+  specs); coordination PASS with `30` historical warnings.
+- Remaining risks: successful asynchronous admission is covered by source and
+  existing pipeline regressions because an undrained unit request leaks; private
+  asset traversal, p95/p99, leak and visual evidence remain unavailable;
+  animated observation and static finalize polling remain loader-owned.
+- Documentation updated: new observer module API/I/O/data-flow/state/sequence/
+  dependency/ownership specification; M2 snapshot, pipeline/cache, world-renderer,
+  module registry, `RENDER.md` and M03 Evidence updated.
+
+## Integration
+
+- Merge: `a043c79` (`merge: static M2 build resource observer`)
+- Post-merge: observer `11` cases / `20,000` iterations / `64.202ms`;
+  snapshot `12` / `42.895ms`; dispatch `10` / `18.096ms`; Mesh pipeline
+  `11` / `73.615ms`; Mesh cache `9` / `40.229ms`; prototype cache `16` /
+  `35.947ms`; shutdown, facade, internal-access `30`, manifest `7/7`,
+  documentation `42` and coordination passed. Checkpoint dry-run completed
+  `7/7`; expected private Azeroth/character assets remained unavailable.

+<!-- OPENWC_CLAIM:M04-RND-FIDELITY-ROADMAP-001:sindo-main-codex-renderer-roadmap:2026-08-04 -->
+<!-- OPENWC_INTEGRATION:ACCEPTED:M04-RND-FIDELITY-ROADMAP-001:afbc4fa -->
+
+## Owner
+
+- Agent ID: `sindo-main-codex-renderer-roadmap`
+- Target: M04 Renderer Fidelity and Graphics Foundation
+- Branch: `work/sindo-main-codex-renderer-roadmap/m04-renderer-fidelity-plan`
+- Worktree: `C:\Users\sindo\open-wc-worktrees\m04-renderer-fidelity-plan`
+
+## Outcome
+
+Insert an evidence-driven renderer-fidelity milestone immediately after M03 and
+shift the existing M04–M13 executable targets to M05–M14 without losing their
+content, dependencies or status semantics.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Implement renderer behavior or claim visual parity in this package.
+- Capture or commit proprietary original-client screenshots.
+- Begin the shifted Editor, content, network or gameplay milestones.
+
+## Paths
+
+- Exclusive: `targets/04-renderer-fidelity.md`, this claim
+- Shared/hotspot: all numbered target filenames and cross-target dependencies,
+  `targets/README.md`, `targets/DEVELOPMENT_ROADMAP.md`, `targets/roadmap/`,
+  `docs/ROADMAP.md`, renderer/testing/feature documentation where milestone IDs
+  or fidelity gates are normative
+
+## Contracts and data
+
+- M03 remains `DONE`; new M04 becomes the only `ACTIVE` target.
+- Existing executable targets shift monotonically: old M04–M13 become M05–M14.
+- The new renderer gate uses original build-12340 captures as the authoritative
+  oracle and treats Noggit as a secondary composition/reference tool.
+- Proprietary images remain outside Git; manifests, metadata, hashes, metrics and
+  human approval records are repository evidence.
+- `Blizzlike335` and opt-in enhanced/racing graphics remain explicit profiles.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Requires: completed M03 renderer facade and closeout contracts.
+- Blocks: renderer-fidelity implementation and all shifted milestones.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Coordination and documentation gates; target marker/index consistency; link
+  and milestone-reference audit; `git diff --check`.
+
+## Fidelity evidence
+
+- Planning evidence only: exact local client build `3.3.5.12340`, seven existing
+  paired checkpoints and the user-proposed two-viewpoint-per-location corpus.
+  No new parity claim is made.
+
+## Documentation deliverables
+
+- Executable M04 target with reference, static, temporal, subsystem, performance
+  and acceptance gates; shifted target dependencies; development/subsystem
+  roadmap and testing/feature-map alignment.
+
+## Status
+
+- State: integrated
+- Done: inserted M04 renderer fidelity, shifted old M04–M13 to M05–M14,
+  updated dependencies, normative roadmaps, profile boundaries and test policy
+- Next: begin the M04 reference manifest/capture contract work package when the
+  user supplies or approves the original-client CSV/capture corpus
+- Blocked by:
+
+<!-- OPENWC_HANDOFF:READY:M04-RND-FIDELITY-ROADMAP-001:f77f50c -->
+
+## Handoff
+
+- Commit: `f77f50c` on
+  `work/sindo-main-codex-renderer-roadmap/m04-renderer-fidelity-plan`.
+- Outcome: M03 remains `DONE`; new M04 is the only `ACTIVE` target; Editor,
+  content, server, world editor, network, gameplay, playable client, quest,
+  completeness and dungeon targets moved intact to M05–M14.
+- Contracts: original build-12340 captures are authoritative; Noggit is a
+  secondary composition reference; proprietary pixels remain outside Git;
+  Blizzlike/Enhanced/Racing graphics profiles are explicit boundaries.
+- Verification: coordination passed `targets=15 active=1`; documentation passed
+  `module_specs=53 required_files=7`; target sequence passed `M00–M14`; old
+  executable-target links `0`; `git diff --check` passed.
+- Fidelity: planning and corpus provenance only; no renderer implementation or
+  new parity claim is included.
+- Documentation: executable M04, target index/dependency graph, renderer
+  subsystem plan, high-level roadmap, architecture, testing/tooling/coding/
+  documentation policies and affected future milestone references updated.
+- Cache/migration: no runtime/cache/data format changes. The exact CSV schema is
+  intentionally deferred to the first M04 contract work package.

+- **Name / URL:** [WoWee](https://github.com/WoWee-Dev/WoWee), локально `reference/WoWee`.
+- **Status:** `REFERENCE`; код не подключается как dependency и не вендорится.
+- **Reviewed update:** `master` от `626243e937fb93965fa583a6507ed5a1aa7dda4b` до `8456c236b57140e98667d6d8188f5cd1cc226daf` (2026-08-12): 2557 commits. Raw diff содержит 1622 files, 164940 additions и 1595923 deletions, но объём deletions в основном создают удалённые generated SQL/data/build artifacts; полезный signal сосредоточен в renderer, UI/FrameXML, pipeline и tests.
+- **Checkout refresh:** текущий upstream checkout — `607ea3b8369851014721416293f8e95dfbe64eec` (2026-09-05). Это обновление pins не является новой fidelity evaluation; релевантные изменения требуют отдельного bounded review перед использованием.
+- **Renderer findings:** новый общий M2 track sampler отделяет global-sequence time от animation sequence и добавляет finite-value guards, но Hermite/Bezier пока линейно аппроксимируются. Централизованный M2+skin/external-`.anim` loader и selective animation loading полезны как pattern для границы parser/resolver. Новые water-mask и water-surface-grid tests фиксируют LSB-first 8x8 chunk masks, solid fallback, rotated WMO liquid projection, inclusive far edge и degenerate axes. Vertex-layout tests сверяют CPU declarations с shader inputs. GPU lifetime/deferred-release решения полезны концептуально, но Vulkan implementation не переносится в Godot.
+- **Animation/effects evidence:** WotLK asset tests покрывают color/alpha tracks, независимый wrap global sequences и `$FSD` footstep events. Отсутствующие private assets в части тестов дают `SUCCEED`, поэтому зелёный run не доказывает, что fixture реально исполнялся. Particle/ribbon delta в основном добавляет sampling, batching, descriptor reuse и diagnostics; flame/smoke/ribbon поведение содержит эвристики и не заменяет build-12340 capture oracle. Для архитектуры shared effect stream Benilla остаётся более сильным secondary reference.
+- **Placement warning:** WoWee прямо оставляет rotation order наклонённых doodad placements нерешённым; имеющийся test различает только upright yaw. OpenWC не меняет calibrated transforms без tilted `MDDF`/`MODF` fixture из build 12340.
+- **UI/FrameXML findings:** retained widget tree отделён от renderer, сохраняет WoW bottom-left/y-up coordinates до единственного draw-boundary flip и покрывает anchors, draw order, hit testing, visibility, scroll, controls и ownership headless tests. XML компилируется в Lua и проходит тот же `CreateFrame`/template path, что Lua-created widgets. Progressive takeover передаёт отдельные default-UI элементы FrameXML с явными bridges для portrait/model/minimap/world-map content. Это сильная модель поэтапной миграции M05, но не готовая архитектура OpenWC.
+- **Lua/tooling findings:** runtime ограничивает стандартные библиотеки, ставит instruction-hook timeout, копирует listener list перед dispatch, ограничивает event recursion, нормализует event argument types и диагностирует stack/source/line. Большой headless corpus и статические audits проверяют XML emission, templates, `$parent`, handler arity, event order/arity, missing APIs, nil arithmetic, globals и keybinding takeover. Однако `lua_engine.cpp` монолитен, unknown-API fallback маскирует отсутствующие контракты, а настоящих taint/secure execution semantics нет; OpenWC сохраняет отдельный `LuaRuntime`, view models/intents и fail-closed compatibility tiers.
+- **Pipeline/editor findings:** общий bounded binary-I/O layer, finite vertex sanitization, DXT block tests, streaming manifest parse и единые validation/save reports полезны как test/validation patterns. Собственные `.w*` formats зависят от native padding/endianness и не подходят как canonical portable OpenWC artifacts без отдельной спецификации.
+- **License/data risk:** repository LICENSE — MIT с дополнительным запретом использовать software как основу или компонент commercial video games без письменного разрешения; original music имеет отдельный all-rights-reserved notice. Поэтому допустимы research, decomposition и независимо реализованные fixtures; копирование/вендоринг кода требует предварительного legal review.
+- **Fidelity limits:** проект WotLK-aware и использует build 12340, но остаётся active WIP. В исследованном diff нет систематического paired original-client visual corpus; часть tests повторяет internal implementation, а README перечисляет runtime regressions. WoWee — источник гипотез и test cases, не oracle. Oracle OpenWC остаётся оригинальный клиент 3.3.5a build 12340.
+- **Bounded adoption:** для M04 приоритетны обязательные (не silent-skip) build-12340 fixtures для M2 global-sequence/color-alpha sampling, MH2O/MCLQ/MLIQ masks и rotated WMO water, CPU-mesh/shader interface verification и tilted placement order. Для M05 — engine-free widget/layout core, единый XML/Lua creation path, progressive takeover и headless audit taxonomy. Любое поведение принимается только после paired capture/fixture с provenance и hash.
+- **Decision / ADR:** `REFERENCE`, не dependency. ADR нужен, если WoWee-inspired решение меняет публичный renderer/UI/Lua contract, artifact schema, engine boundary или вводит third-party code.

+## Benilla — карточка референса
+
+- **Name / URL:** [samwhosung/benilla](https://github.com/samwhosung/benilla), локально `reference/benilla`.
+- **Status:** `REFERENCE`; исходники доступны как pinned research submodule, но не подключены к build/runtime как dependency и не вендорятся.
+- **Pinned research revision:** `bc1a2428dd7e00ca8abbfb8f0bf53750dae7b123` (проверен 2026-09-05). Репозиторий публикуется автором как squashed snapshots из private tree, поэтому при повторном исследовании revision фиксируется заново.
+- **Problem studied:** полный независимый клиент WoW 1.12.1 build 5875 на Rust/Bevy, включая streamed world renderer, M2 animation/materials, WMO portal visibility, liquids/sky/weather, particles/ribbons/spell visuals и собственный TOC/FrameXML/Lua UI runtime.
+- **Planned boundary:** использовать только как независимый источник алгоритмов, decomposition, diagnostics и test cases. OpenWC сохраняет свои `WorldRenderFacade`, Godot main-thread/finalization boundaries, `LuaRuntime`, immutable UI view models/intents и build-12340 contracts; прямой Bevy/ECS или Rust-type bridge не вводится.
+- **Useful renderer source map:** `crates/benilla-world/src/model_render*`, `rig_anim*`, `rig_palette*`, `particles*`, `ribbons.rs`, `wmo_portal*`, `lighting*`, `weather*`, `terrain_stream*` и `shaders/wow_effect.wgsl`; format-side M2 animation/particle/ribbon tracks находятся в `crates/benilla-formats/src/models/anim.rs`, `particles.rs` и `ribbons.rs`.
+- **Useful UI/Lua source map:** engine-free crate `crates/benilla-ui`: `toc.rs`, `framexml.rs`, `loader/*`, `layout.rs`, `widget/*`, `order.rs`, `script/event.rs`, `script/tick.rs`, `script/saved.rs`, sandbox/stdlib bindings и compatibility tests. Особенно полезны сохранение document/load order, bottom-up `OnLoad`, nested-safe restore legacy globals `this/event/argN`, deterministic event/`OnUpdate` order и разделение plain host state от engine adapter.
+- **License:** `MIT OR Apache-2.0`; конкретное заимствование кода требует сохранения license/attribution и отдельной проверки совместимости с лицензиями OpenWC и third-party dependencies.
+- **Platforms/toolchain:** stable Rust, Bevy `0.18.1`, `mlua 0.11` с vendored Lua 5.1 и локальным `lua-src` patch pipeline. Это research stack, не предлагаемый OpenWC toolchain.
+- **Fidelity evidence:** исходники содержат подробные build-5875 byte-law annotations, corpus tests, parser fixtures и temporal/render probes. Сам приватный reverse-engineering corpus не входит в repository, а опубликованный код ориентирован на Vanilla 1.12.1, поэтому ни один его результат сам по себе не является evidence для WoW 3.3.5a build 12340.
+- **Known gaps:** README прямо ограничивает Lua built-in UI и пока не заявляет third-party addon support; taint/secure execution отсутствуют; runtime использует Lua 5.1 с точечными Lua-5.0 compatibility patches для Vanilla; renderer и scheduling зависят от Bevy render phases/ECS. Layouts, M2 records, shader flags, spell visuals, UI API и security semantics должны повторно проверяться для WotLK.
+- **Security/data risks:** Lua sandbox удаляет filesystem/OS/package/debug/native reach и принимает только text chunks, но без taint/protected-action модели этого недостаточно для 3.3.5a addons. Proprietary client assets и private RE artifacts не копируются; тесты OpenWC используют легально полученные локальные data и разрешённые metadata/fixtures.
+- **Performance evidence:** Benilla документирует collapsed rig pose/palette arrays вместо десятков тысяч bone entities и один shared effect vertex/index stream вместо per-emitter dynamic meshes; source comments приводят локальные measurements (включая около 145 mesh changes/frame до shared stream). Эти числа не воспроизведены на Godot и служат только гипотезой для bounded spike.
+- **Spike and acceptance criteria:** (1) renderer — на build-12340 M2 fixtures сравнить bone palette/global sequences, material ordering, particle plane/sphere/spline emitters, head/tail/model particles и ribbons по phase/duration/lifetime; затем проверить Godot-friendly shared effect buffer/pool без нарушения M03 budgets; (2) UI — прогнать WotLK TOC/FrameXML/Lua corpus на document order, inheritance, anchors, handler calling convention, event order, `OnUpdate`, SavedVariables, restricted libraries и error text; secure actions/taint имеют отдельный обязательный corpus. Любое принятое решение требует original-client paired evidence, p50/p95/p99 и regression fixtures.
+- **Pinned version/update policy:** исследование и ссылки привязаны к указанному commit. Обновление проводится вручную по diff релевантных directories; moving `main` не становится новым oracle автоматически.
+- **Decision / ADR:** `REFERENCE`, не dependency. ADR требуется только если Benilla-inspired решение меняет публичный renderer/effects/UI/Lua contract, cache/schema, engine boundary или добавляет dependency.

+
+## Purpose
+
+Drain cached animated M2 ResourceLoader work without keeping terminal I/O and
+prototype outcome logic in `StreamingWorldLoader`. The service polls pending
+requests, prepares a detached scene candidate and completes material repair,
+validation, cache adoption or static-only fallback.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Select cached GLB paths, apply allow/deny policy or admit threaded requests.
+- Select/build native animated M2 prototypes.
+- Look up the static material prototype used for repair.
+- Own render permits, build jobs, playback, instances or SceneTree roots.
+- Change ResourceLoader ordering, cache formats, profiles or visible output.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- All methods run synchronously on the renderer main thread.
+- Pipeline owns pending and completion records; one loader permit pops one record.
+- The prepared Dictionary temporarily owns the detached candidate reference. The
+  loader must call completion synchronously after material lookup.
+- Existing scene finalizer frees rejected candidate roots. Prototype cache owns
+  accepted detached prototypes until final shutdown.
+- Service retains only scene-finalizer and optional test-adapter references. The
+  production ResourceLoader path creates no self-reference or retained Resource.
+- Loader retains scheduler permits, material lookup and all instance/SceneTree work.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Missing service dependency | Return zero/empty/null | Correct renderer composition |
+| Empty Resource path | Discard pending request and mark static-only | Repair cache and start new session |
+| Nonterminal status | Keep request pending | Poll next tick |
+| FAILED terminal status | Pop one record and mark static-only | Repair cache and start new session |
+| Existing cached/static state | Pop and skip without terminal Resource get | None |
+| Null/unsupported Resource | Mark static-only | Repair imported cache |
+| Candidate validation failure | Scene finalizer frees candidate; mark static-only | Repair animation/cache |
+| Tile cancellation | No direct transition; shared cache work continues | Loader queue remains authoritative |
+| Shutdown | Loader drains ResourceLoader before pipeline/cache clear | New loader starts empty |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The module adds no setting. Existing cached-animation allow/deny policy,
+`m2_animation_finalize_ops_per_tick`, debug flag and scheduler lane remain exact.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No persistence, schema or cache path changes are introduced. Existing `.glb`
+imports and `pivot_prefix_v1` eligibility remain owned by the cached observer.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+Successful debug-enabled adoption emits the unchanged `M2_ANIM_CACHE` record
+with normalized path, Resource cache path and AnimationPlayer count. Pipeline
+work metrics remain pending plus completion FIFO size.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Dedicated verifier covers pending/loaded/failed polling order, empty path,
+  completion FIFO, cached/static skips, terminal Resource get, candidate identity,
+  material repair arguments, adoption, rejection, source ownership and timing.
+- Pipeline, scene-finalizer, prototype-cache, cached-observer, shutdown, facade,
+  internal-access and baseline regressions protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact lifecycle/I/O extraction only; no private asset,
+  original-client animation, visual, leak-pressure or p95/p99 claim is made.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Material-prototype lookup may later become a dedicated resource observer, which
+would allow the entire two-phase operation to compose outside the loader. Static
+Mesh Resource finalization remains separate to avoid premature generalization.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Animated request terminal polling | Implemented extraction | Status/order/source verifier | Asset-backed long traversal pending |
+| Animated candidate finalization/outcome | Implemented extraction | Identity/repair/adoption verifier | Private visual/leak/p95/p99 pending |
+| Material prototype lookup | Loader-owned | Existing renderer regressions | Dedicated observer optional |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Terminal Resource get, instantiation and repair remain synchronous main-thread work.
+- Prepared candidate ownership relies on immediate completion by the loader adapter.
+- Private asset traversal, descriptor pressure, leak and p95/p99 evidence is absent.

+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The planner adds no setting. Existing animated/static batch limits, animation
+enable flag, visibility/shadow settings and `M2_BUILD` permits remain external.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No state is serialized. No ADT/M2 cache format or version changes; no rebake or
+migration is required.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+The planner emits no logs. Its verifier reports the action matrix, source
+boundaries and bounded 20,000-call timing. Existing loader queue/hitch metrics
+remain unchanged.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_m2_build_dispatch_planner.gd` covers wait priority, zero/negative
+  counts, animated/static priority, unresolved retry, terminal missing, detached
+  results, loader/dependency boundaries and bounded timing.
+- Queue, batch planner, materializers, caches, shutdown, facade, internal-access
+  and checkpoint tests protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact branch/transition extraction only. No private asset
+  or original-client visual comparison is claimed.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Static, cached animated and native animated observation now live behind sibling
+services that produce `M2BuildResourceSnapshot`. Generic callbacks, signals and a shared state-machine
+framework remain intentionally excluded.

+# M2 Build Resource Snapshot
+
+## Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Status | Implemented extraction |
+| Target/work package | M03 / `M03-RND-M2-BUILD-RESOURCE-SNAPSHOT-001` |
+| Owners | Per-build-step observed M2 resource references and outcome flags |
+| Last verified | Worktree `work/sindo-main-codex/m03-m2-build-resource-snapshot`, 2026-07-18 |
+| Profiles/capabilities | Existing static MultiMesh and animated-instance build paths |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Carry the resource observations for one M2 build operation as a typed contract:
+normalized path, optional animated prototype, pending-animation state, optional
+static Mesh and terminal missing-model state. The snapshot never owns engine lifetime.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Locate, request, load, validate or cache M2 resources.
+- Decide dispatch action, batch count, queue order or permit consumption.
+- Create, attach or free Nodes, Meshes, MultiMeshes or animated instances.
+- Change animation allowlists, native candidate rules or cache paths/formats.
+- Persist observations beyond one build operation.
+
+## Context and boundaries

+```
+
+The snapshot depends only on `RefCounted`, String, booleans and borrowed Node3D/
+Mesh references. ResourceLoader, cache/pipeline state, SceneTree mutation,
+RenderingServer/RIDs, files, workers, mutexes, gameplay, network and Editor APIs
+are forbidden.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Snapshot owns only copied scalar state and temporary references.
+- Prototype/cache services retain resource state; the native observer owns its
+  phase while loader owns native-first ordering among resource observers.
+- Scene roots remain loader/tile-owned; Mesh lifetime follows cache/resource refs.
+- Dispatch planner reads only snapshot accessors and never mutates the snapshot.
+- Current construction/adoption occurs on renderer main thread.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Empty path | Exact String retained | No validation or hidden normalization | Contract fixture | Loader already normalizes input |
+| Null prototype/Mesh | Availability accessor false | Dispatch uses pending/missing state | Contract fixture | Loader request/cache path retries |
+| Mesh and missing both true | Exact adoption | Both retained; dispatch gives ready Mesh priority | Contradiction fixture | Loader normally prevents combination |
+| Static observation replaced | Explicit adoption | Latest Mesh/missing values win | Replacement fixture | None required |
+| Borrowed Node externally freed | Outside snapshot | Loader validity/lifecycle gates remain authoritative | Shutdown regressions | Tile may cancel/requeue |
+| Tile cancellation | Outside snapshot | Ephemeral snapshot releases references | Queue/shutdown regressions | Eligible tile may rebuild |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The snapshot adds no setting. Existing animation enable/allow/deny rules, batch
+limits, cache paths, render settings and scheduler permits remain external.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No observation is serialized. No ADT/M2 cache version changes and no rebake or
+migration are required.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+`diagnostic_snapshot()` exposes normalized path and four availability/outcome
+flags without Node/Mesh references. The module emits no logs. Existing loader
+queue/hitch metrics remain unchanged.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_m2_build_resource_snapshot.gd` covers exact path/reference identity,
+  defaults, static adoption/replacement/clear, contradictory flags, detached
+  diagnostics, engine lifetime, loader/dispatch boundaries and bounded timing.
+- Dispatch, queue, batch, materializer, cache/pipeline, shutdown, facade,
+  internal-access and checkpoint regressions protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact observation transfer only; no private asset or
+  original-client visual claim is made.
+
+## Extension points
+
+`M2CachedAnimationResourceObserver` produces the cached animated phase and
+`M2StaticBuildResourceObserver` produces the static phase. Native animation is
+produced by `M2NativeAnimationResourceObserver`. The value stays independent of all
+producers and of generic callback frameworks.
+
+## Capability status

+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |

+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Static observation is mutable during its short two-phase construction.
+- Raw Node3D/Mesh references remain necessary for current materializer APIs.
+- Native parsing/build remains synchronous; loader still owns terminal polling.
+- Synthetic timing does not measure resource, Node or GPU work.

+- Poll/finalize threaded Resources or instantiate/fix imported scenes.
+- Own/free prototype Nodes, snapshots, pipeline entries or cache state.
+- Materialize instances, consume permits or change animation policy defaults.
+- Change GLB layout, cache format, batching, profiles or visible output.

+```
+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Observer retains no service, request, snapshot, Resource or Node reference.
+- Prototype state retains accepted Nodes and static-only paths until shutdown.
+- Pipeline state retains copied request paths until terminal polling/finalize.
+- Snapshot borrows the exact cached prototype; observer never frees it.
+- Resource existence/request and synchronous GLB JSON inspection run on the
+  renderer main thread, matching the previous loader behavior.
+- The sibling native observer owns the native build attempt and the animation
+  resource finalizer owns terminal polling/finalize. Loader retains permits,
+  material lookup, materialization and SceneTree mutation.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Empty path/dependency | Return empty non-pending snapshot without mutation | Correct composition |
+| Cached prototype | Return exact reference immediately | None |
+| Existing request | Return pending without duplicate admission | Retry after terminal drain |
+| Disallowed/denied path | Mark static-only | New loader session/configuration |
+| Missing/invalid/unsafe GLB | Continue candidates, then mark static-only | Repair/rebake cache and restart session |
+| Request error | Mark static-only | New loader session/cache repair |
+| Tile cancellation | Observer retains nothing | Loader queue remains authoritative |
+| Shutdown | Loader drains requests before state clear | New loader starts empty |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The service consumes existing `m2_cache_dir`, `m2_animated_max_primitives`,
+`m2_animated_allowlist_patterns`, `m2_animated_denylist_patterns` and debug flag.
+It adds no setting and preserves runtime mutability and defaults.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No persistence or cache format changes are introduced. Existing `.glb` candidate
+layout and OpenWC schema markers are read unchanged; no rebake is required.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+Unsupported non-empty schemas preserve the historical optional
+`M2_ANIM_REJECT` debug line. Snapshot and pipeline diagnostics remain detached;
+queue and hitch metrics are unchanged.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Dedicated verifier covers invalid/cached identity/static/pending/missing
+  lifecycle, allow/deny semantics, exact path order, generated GLB header/JSON,
+  animation presence, primitive cap, accepted/rejected schemas, source boundaries
+  and bounded timing.
+- Snapshot, dispatch, pipeline, prototype, shutdown, facade, internal-access and
+  checkpoint regressions protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact policy/I/O extraction. No original-client visual or
+  animation parity claim is made.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Native and cached observation remain sibling services. Terminal ResourceLoader
+polling/finalization uses the dedicated finalizer while retaining pipeline state.

+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- A successful asynchronous request is not started by the unit fixture because
+  leaving it undrained leaks process work; source and pipeline tests cover admission.
+- Generated GLB metadata fixtures validate policy, not Godot import fidelity.
+- Private traversal, leak/descriptor pressure, p95/p99 and paired visuals remain
+  unavailable without private assets.

+## Purpose
+
+Drain static M2 ResourceLoader work and publish a prepared Mesh or missing-model
+outcome without keeping terminal I/O and refresh logic in `StreamingWorldLoader`.
+The same preparation method serves threaded and synchronous Mesh consumers.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Select cache candidates or admit threaded ResourceLoader requests.
+- Own scheduler permits, prototype Nodes, MultiMeshes or SceneTree roots.
+- Change first-Mesh traversal, refresh version, rebuild rules or raw parser.
+- Merge static and animated terminal services through callbacks/frameworks.
+- Change cache formats, profiles or visible output.

+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- All operations run synchronously on the renderer main thread.
+- Pipeline owns pending/completion records; one permit pops one terminal record.
+- Extractor owns temporary PackedScene instance cleanup and returns a Mesh reference.
+- Runtime finalizer owns stale/current/rebuild/fallback rules; raw repository owns
+  only call-local native I/O.
+- Mesh cache retains prepared Mesh references until final shutdown; prototype
+  cache retains missing-model paths.
+- Service retains dependency references but no pending record, Resource, Mesh or
+  raw Dictionary between calls. Loader retains permits and materialization.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Missing composition dependency | Return zero/false; preparation keeps Mesh where possible | Correct composition |
+| Empty Resource path | Discard request and mark missing | Repair cache and restart session |
+| Nonterminal status | Keep pending | Poll next tick |
+| FAILED status | Pop and mark missing | Repair cache and restart session |
+| Existing cached Mesh | Pop and skip terminal Resource get | None |
+| Null/unsupported/no-Mesh Resource | Mark missing | Repair imported cache |
+| Raw read/rebuild unavailable | Runtime finalizer marks/reuses original Mesh | Existing fallback |
+| Tile cancellation | Shared cache work continues | Loader queue remains authoritative |
+| Shutdown | Loader drains ResourceLoader before pipeline/cache clear | New loader starts empty |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The service consumes the existing extracted directory. The scheduler retains
+`m2_mesh_finalize_ops_per_tick`; material refresh version remains `2`.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No cache path, schema or version changes are introduced. Existing `.tscn/.glb`
+Resources and in-memory refresh metadata remain compatible; no rebake is required.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+The service adds no log. Existing pending-plus-finalize metrics and refresh
+metadata remain unchanged. Normalized relative path remains the correlation key.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Dedicated verifier covers status insertion order, empty-path discard, FIFO,
+  failed/cached/null outcomes, terminal get, exact Mesh identity, stale-only raw
+  read, exact finalizer arguments, cache adoption, source ownership and timing.
+- Pipeline/cache/extractor/runtime-finalizer/raw-repository/prototype/shutdown,
+  facade, internal-access and baseline regressions protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact lifecycle/I/O extraction only; no private asset,
+  original-client visual, leak-pressure or p95/p99 claim is made.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Further extraction can move static prototype/material-source construction without
+changing this terminal Resource contract. Animated finalization remains separate
+because its candidate-before-material ordering and Node ownership differ.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Static terminal polling/load | Implemented extraction | Status/FIFO/load/source verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Mesh extraction/preparation/cache outcome | Implemented extraction | Identity/raw/finalizer/store verifier | Private leak/p95/p99 pending |
+| Static MultiMesh materialization | Separate implemented service | Materializer verifier | GPU/asset-backed evidence pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Terminal Resource get, extraction and stale rebuild remain synchronous main-thread work.
+- Prepared Mesh cache remains unbounded until final shutdown.
+- Private asset traversal, descriptor pressure, leak and p95/p99 evidence is absent.

+
+## Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Status | Implemented extraction |
+| Target/work package | M03 / `M03-RND-M2-NATIVE-ANIMATION-RESOURCE-OBSERVER-001` |
+| Owners | Native animation candidate policy, raw read, build and cache outcome |
+| Last verified | Worktree `work/sindo-main-codex/m03-m2-native-animation-resource-observer`, 2026-07-18 |
+| Profiles/capabilities | Existing native GryphonRoost animated M2 path |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Resolve the historical native animated M2 path as one synchronous observation:
+select a GryphonRoost candidate, reuse cached state, read animated raw data,
+build a detached prototype and publish either the prototype or static-only result.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Add native animation candidates or change the `gryphonroost` predicate.
+- Observe/request cached GLB animation or poll/finalize ResourceLoader work.
+- Duplicate, attach, animate or free accepted instances in the SceneTree.
+- Consume render permits or change build queue, batching and dispatch policy.
+- Change native parsing/building, cache formats, profiles or visible output.
+
+## Context and boundaries
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    Loader[StreamingWorldLoader] --> Observer[M2NativeAnimationResourceObserver]
+    Observer --> Repository[M2RawModelRepository]
+    Observer --> Builder[M2NativeAnimatedBuilder]
+    Observer --> Cache[M2PrototypeCacheState]
+    Observer --> Prototype[Detached animated prototype]
+    Prototype --> Snapshot[M2BuildResourceSnapshot]
+    Observer -->|no prototype| Cached[M2CachedAnimationResourceObserver]
+```
+
+The observer is the native-first resource boundary. The loader supplies an
+already-normalized path and remains responsible for fallback ordering and for
+constructing the snapshot consumed by dispatch.
+
+## Public API
+
+| Symbol | Kind | Purpose | Failure behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `is_native_animation_candidate(path)` | Pure query | Apply the historical case-insensitive GryphonRoost substring policy | Empty/unmatched path returns false |
+| `observe(path, extracted_dir, repository, cache, debug)` | Command/query | Return an exact cached/new native prototype or record static-only fallback | Invalid/non-candidate input returns null without mutation |
+| `build_animated_prototype(data, extracted_dir)` | Adapter command | Call the retained native animated builder dependency | Missing builder or invalid result returns null |
+
+The optional constructor dependency exists for deterministic tests; production
+uses `M2NativeAnimatedBuilder` without a new abstraction or runtime setting.

+```
+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Observation and native parsing/building remain synchronous on the renderer
+  main thread, exactly as before extraction; there is no mid-call cancellation.
+- The observer retains no path, raw Dictionary, Node or service reference.
+- Prototype cache owns an accepted detached Node until final shutdown; callers
+  only borrow the canonical reference.
+- The historical childless-builder rejection does not free its detached Node.
+  This deliberately preserved lifetime edge is documented as a remaining leak
+  risk rather than silently changed during architectural extraction.
+- Loader owns snapshots, fallback sequencing, permits, materialization and every
+  SceneTree mutation.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Empty/non-candidate path or missing dependency | Return null without state mutation | Correct composition/path |
+| Cached prototype | Return exact canonical Node immediately | None |
+| Existing static-only outcome | Return null without repeated I/O | New loader session after source repair |
+| Empty raw data or animated surfaces | Mark static-only and return null | Repair source/parser and start new session |
+| Null/childless build | Mark static-only and return null | Repair builder/data and start new session |
+| Duplicate successful build | Cache releases later candidate and returns first | None |
+| Cancellation during native call | Not supported; call completes | Loader controls whether the call starts |
+| Shutdown | Observer retains nothing | Cache releases adopted Nodes after drains |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The observer consumes the existing extracted directory and `debug_streaming`
+flag. Candidate policy remains the case-insensitive substring `gryphonroost`.
+No profile, cache, budget or animation setting is added.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No persistence or format changes are introduced. Positive and static-only state
+continues to use the shutdown-lifetime prototype cache; no asset rebake is needed.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+A successful debug-enabled build emits the unchanged `M2_NATIVE_ANIM_CACHE`
+record with path, surface count, bone count, animation id, sequence index,
+activity score and length. Rejections remain silent as before.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Dedicated synthetic verifier covers candidate policy, invalid dependencies,
+  cache identity, static suppression, raw/surface/build failures, preserved
+  childless lifetime, exact repository/builder arguments, adoption, source
+  ownership and bounded candidate checks.
+- Cached observer, raw repository, prototype cache, snapshot, dispatch, shutdown,
+  facade, internal-access and render-baseline checks protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact control-flow and diagnostic extraction. It is not
+  original-client animation, visual, memory or asset-backed performance evidence.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Terminal cached-GLB polling/finalization can move behind a separate adapter
+without changing this native-first contract. Candidate expansion requires its
+own fidelity evidence and must not silently change `Blizzlike335` behavior.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Native candidate selection | Implemented extraction | Policy/source/timing verifier | Additional candidates require fidelity work |
+| Raw read/build/cache outcome | Implemented extraction | Failure/identity/adoption verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Terminal cached ResourceLoader polling | Loader-owned | Existing pipeline regressions | Dedicated finalize adapter |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Native parsing/building is synchronous and not bounded by a render permit.
+- Rejected childless builder Nodes retain the historical unowned lifetime edge.
+- Private asset traversal, descriptor/leak pressure, p95/p99 and paired visual/
+  animation evidence remain unavailable in this package.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Observer retains no request, cache, snapshot or engine reference.
+- Cache/pipeline services retain their existing state and resource ownership.
+- Snapshot borrows the exact cached Mesh; observer never frees it.
+- Resource existence/request and GLB inspection run on renderer main thread.
+- `M2MeshResourceFinalizer` performs terminal polling, Resource extraction,
+  Mesh preparation and cache/missing adoption from the loader permit loop.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| State | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Invalid dependency/path | Return `rejected`; no mutation | Correct composition |
+| Existing request | Return `pending`; no duplicate request | Retry when queue rotates |
+| Pivot-prefix GLB | Skip as static candidate | Continue next candidate |
+| Request error | Stop historical search and mark missing | Later reset/new session |
+| No candidate | Mark/adopt terminal missing | Cache content becomes available in new session |
+| Tile cancellation | Observer retains nothing | Loader/queue cancellation remains authoritative |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The observer consumes existing `m2_cache_dir`. It adds no profile, cache version,
+batch, visibility, shadow or scheduler setting.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No new persistence is introduced. Existing `.tscn/.glb` layout, pipeline records
+and missing-cache lifetime are unchanged; no rebake is required.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+Returned outcomes distinguish rejected/cached/pending/requested/missing without
+logging. Existing queue and hitch metrics remain unchanged.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Dedicated verifier covers invalid, cached identity, missing, pending, path
+  order/deduplication, absent GLB schema, source ownership and bounded timing.
+- Snapshot/dispatch/pipeline/cache/shutdown/facade/internal-access/checkpoint
+  regressions protect adjacent behavior.
+- No original-client visual claim is made; this is bookkeeping/I/O extraction.
+
+## Extension points
+
+Animated/native observation may become a separate producer of the animation
+phase. Shared cache candidate/GLB inspection can later be reused without adding
+a generic resource framework.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Static build lookup/request production | Implemented extraction | Lifecycle/path/source/timing verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Static finalize/preparation | Implemented extraction | Mesh resource finalizer verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Animated observation | Existing loader-owned | Animation regressions | Separate producer pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Successful request behavior is protected by source plus existing pipeline
+  tests; starting an undrained asynchronous request in the unit fixture would leak.
+- GLB schema parser reads synchronously, matching the previous loader behavior.
+- Private traversal, p95/p99, leak and visual evidence remain unavailable.

+## Metadata

+|---|---|
+| Status | Implemented |
+| Target/work package | M03 / `M03-QAR-INTEGRATOR-CLOSEOUT-001` |
+| Owner | Renderer structural, cache and performance acceptance gates |
+| Last verified | Worktree `work/sindo-main-codex-m03-integrator/m03-closeout`, 2026-08-02 |
+| Profile | `Blizzlike335`; quality preset `High` for checkpoint evidence |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provide reproducible closeout checks for the M03 renderer decomposition. The
+checks prove that worker boundaries remain CPU-only, main-thread frame steps are
+budgeted, cache versions remain explicit, and paired M00/M03 reports stay within
+the agreed 10% performance budgets.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Claim pixel-level parity with the original build-12340 client.
+- Replace subsystem unit verifiers or long-traversal release tests.
+- Generate, mutate or migrate production cache payloads.
+- Hide incompatible environments or cache inventories by normalizing reports.

+GDScript contract verifier reads source files and creates no renderer resources.

+```
+
+There is no persistent state machine. Each invocation is read, validate,
+aggregate, compare and terminate.
+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Reports and source files are borrowed read-only for one process.
+- Median aggregation deep-copies the first report and never rewrites inputs.
+- Rendering remains owned by the GUI capture process on Godot's main thread.
+- The contract verifier is headless and does not instantiate the streaming world.
+- The optional comparison report is wholly owned by the caller-selected path.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Missing/malformed report | Terminate with path/shape error | Regenerate that capture |
+| Environment/cache mismatch | Fail before accepting metrics | Recapture both commits on the same machine and cache |
+| Missing/duplicate checkpoint | Fail result-key validation | Repair manifest/capture completeness |
+| Metric over budget | Record baseline, candidate, limit and percentage | Diagnose named checkpoint/lane; rerun only after a code or evidence correction |
+| Interrupted GUI capture | No complete report is accepted | Remove/ignore partial output and rerun |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The comparator reads thresholds from the baseline report. M03 uses 10% maximum
+regression for load time, frame p95, frame p99, maximum hitch, static memory and
+video memory. Repeated input paths are optional; when supplied, each side is
+reduced independently to the median for every metric.
+
+Closeout uses two independent protocols: repeated three-second captures and a
+ten-second measurement window. A regression is accepted as real only when the
+same checkpoint/pass/metric exceeds its unchanged 10% budget in both protocols.
+Protocol-local failures remain in the JSON as noise diagnostics rather than
+being discarded.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migrations
+
+The comparison JSON uses schema version 1 and contains source paths, sample
+counts, revisions, all metric pairs and failures. It is evidence, not a runtime
+cache. Renderer cache versions are read from the manifest/source contracts; this
+module performs no migration or invalidation.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+- Success reports result pairs, comparison count and budget percentage.
+- Failure output names every checkpoint/pass, metric, values and limit.
+- The structural verifier reports worker count, frame-step count and cache-version count.
+- Capture reports retain PNG hashes, queue snapshots, environment and cache inventory.
+
+## Verification, fidelity and performance
+
+- `verify_renderer_closeout_contracts.gd` covers four worker boundaries, fifteen
+  frame steps, seven cache versions and the nested M2 GLB output contract.
+- `compare_render_performance.ps1` compares 14 cold/warm result pairs and 84 metrics.
+- `verify_render_performance_stability.ps1` requires metric-key agreement and
+  rejects any budget regression reproduced by both sampling protocols.
+- M00 and M03 must be captured from their exact commits against the same cache
+  inventory; old reports with a different inventory are rejected.
+- PNG hashes and asset-backed coverage prove that terrain, ADT boundaries, dense
+  M2, large WMO, liquid, animated M2 and sky were rendered. They do not prove
+  original-client pixel parity without human/reference-image approval.
+
+## Extension points
+
+CI may retain reports and comparison JSON as artifacts. A future release gate may
+add driver-version metadata, long-traversal samples or approved visual-diff
+thresholds without changing runtime renderer contracts.
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Godot reports the rendering API but not the installed NVIDIA driver version.
+- A 0.5-second historical M00 measurement window requires repeated median samples.
+- Original-client screenshots are not part of the repository evidence set.
+- Long-traversal descriptor pressure remains a later quality/release gate.

+
+## Purpose
+
+`WmoRenderGroupMaterializer` creates and attaches one lightweight cached WMO
+render group on the renderer main thread. It owns the duplicated
+`MeshInstance3D`/`MultiMeshInstance3D` presentation rules that previously lived
+inside `StreamingWorldLoader`.
+
+## Non-goals

+- load, cache, validate or finalize WMO Resources;
+- resolve placement transforms or own the placement root;
+- choose Editor persistence policy or serialize generated nodes;
+- change WMO cache formats, materials, visibility or shadow policy.
+
+## Context and boundaries
+
+The loader obtains a queue-owned WMO root and render Resource, asks
+`WmoRenderBuildStepPlanner` for one operation, and finalizes the selected Mesh.
+The materializer then performs only indexed node presentation and attachment.
+The loader retains scheduler, queue and Editor composition responsibilities.

+| `materialize_multimesh_group(...)` | Create, configure and attach one indexed MultiMesh doodad group | Renderer main thread; stateless after return | Null/invalid parent, null MultiMesh or negative index returns null |
+
+Both methods preserve exact Resource identity. `group_index` selects the optional
+name and transform; missing names use the historical indexed fallback and a
+missing transform leaves `Transform3D.IDENTITY`. Positive visibility range
+applies its caller-supplied margin. Shadow mode is always applied explicitly.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Both public methods are main-thread only because they mutate the SceneTree.
+- The caller owns the parent root; after attachment the root owns the new node.
+- The node retains the exact input Mesh or MultiMesh Resource reference.
+- The service retains no Node, Resource, RID, collection or per-group state.
+- Loader-owned optional recursive Editor ownership runs after successful return.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Null/freed parent | Guard | Return null; allocate/attach nothing | Caller validates current queue job |
+| Null Resource | Guard | Return null | Loader advances the historically selected cursor |
+| Negative index | Guard | Return null | Planner supplies non-negative selected indices |
+| Missing name | Bounds check | Use `Group_N` or `DoodadGroup_N` | Rebuild cache metadata if desired |
+| Missing transform | Bounds check | Retain identity transform | Rebuild cache metadata if desired |
+| Placement cancellation | Loader/queue | Parent and children released by existing lifecycle | Re-request placement later |
+| Shutdown | Loader lifecycle | Service has no retained state to drain | New loader composes a new service |
+
+## Configuration, capabilities and profiles
+
+The service introduces no configuration or capability. It accepts the existing
+`wmo_visibility_range`, `CHUNK_SIZE` margin and `wmo_cast_shadows` values chosen
+by the loader quality profile. Blizzlike and Enhanced selection remains outside.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migrations
+
+No persisted data or cache format changes. The service neither reads nor writes
+WMO cache files and requires no migration or rebake.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+The service emits no logs or metrics. Existing `wmo_groups` queue depth, build
+permits and loader lifecycle diagnostics remain authoritative.
+
+## Verification and fidelity evidence
+
+- `verify_wmo_render_group_materializer.gd` covers exact Mesh/MultiMesh identity,
+  indexed and fallback names, optional transforms, shadows, positive/disabled
+  visibility, attachment, invalid input, source boundaries and 1,000 groups.
+- Adjacent WMO queue/planner/finalizer and checkpoint regressions protect the
+  unchanged orchestration and visible output.
+- This is an exact code-motion extraction of existing Godot presentation rules;
+  it adds no original-client 3.3.5a visual parity claim.
+
+## Performance budgets
+
+The synthetic contract requires 1,000 simple Mesh group materializations in
+under one second. Production work remains limited to one group per scheduler
+permit. Asset-backed CPU/GPU p95/p99 and long traversal remain required evidence.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- Asset-backed WMO traversal can measure group attachment and lifetime without
+  changing this API.
+- Additional render settings belong here only when they apply equally to both
+  lightweight group-node kinds and have fidelity evidence.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Mesh group materialization | Implemented extraction | Identity/name/transform/render/attachment contract | Asset-backed visual/GPU p95/p99 pending |
+| MultiMesh doodad group materialization | Implemented extraction | Identity/name/transform/render/attachment contract | Asset-backed traversal/leak evidence pending |
+| Build planning/queue progress | Loader-owned | Existing planner/queue regressions | Further orchestration extraction pending |
+| Editor persistence ownership | Loader-owned | Source-boundary contract | Editor scene-save integration evidence pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- SceneTree node creation remains synchronous main-thread work by design.
+- The synthetic fixture does not measure private WMO assets, GPU upload, portal
+  visibility, original-client visuals, long traversal or leak behavior.

+## Purpose
+
+Finalize pending lightweight WMO `.res` cache requests outside
+`StreamingWorldLoader`: poll terminal status, retrieve a loaded Resource, enforce
+exact script/current-format validation and publish either the exact Resource or
+the historical missing outcome.
+
+## Non-goals

+- Finalize cached WMO PackedScenes or live WMOBuilder prototypes.
+- Own cache lifetime, placements, build queues, scheduler permits or Nodes.
+- Change `WMOStreamingResource.FORMAT_VERSION`, fallback or visible behavior.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Renderer main thread serializes polling and cache-state publication.
+- Finalizer owns no Resource, request, Node, RID or file lifetime.
+- Cache state adopts accepted exact Resource references until its full clear.
+- Loader owns request admission, fallback/build orchestration and shutdown order.
+- Detached snapshots allow terminal cache-state mutation during iteration.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Null cache state | Guard | Return zero | Contract verifier | Correct composition |
+| Non-terminal request | Status | Retain pending | Pending count | Poll next tick |
+| Failed request | Terminal status | Complete missing | Negative cache | Transient reset/rebuilt cache |
+| Null/wrong-script Resource | Validation | Complete missing | Synthetic fixture | Rebuild cache and reset |
+| Stale format | Format below injected minimum | Complete missing | Synthetic fixture | Rebuild cache and reset |
+| Shutdown | Loader lifecycle | Drain then cache clear | Shutdown verifier | New loader starts absent |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The loader injects the exact `WMOStreamingResource` Script and its
+`FORMAT_VERSION`. The service introduces no setting, profile, permit or cache
+format. WMO cache paths and build budgets remain loader-owned.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+The module serializes nothing and changes no cache format. It only enforces the
+existing script identity and current-or-newer format rule before runtime cache
+adoption, so no migration or rebake is introduced.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+- `poll_terminal_requests` returns terminal completion count for tests/future metrics.
+- Existing cache pending count and renderer `wmobuild` metrics are unchanged.
+- The service emits no logs; normalized relative path remains the correlation key.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_wmo_render_resource_finalizer.gd`: null/non-terminal, insertion order,
+  failed/load boundary, null/wrong/stale rejection, current/newer identity,
+  source ownership and 1,000 terminal polls under one second.
+- Cache-state, WMO queue/planner/registry/resolver, shutdown, facade,
+  internal-access and baseline regressions protect adjacent behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact orchestration extraction; no asset-backed visual or
+  original-client parity claim is made.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- A legal current/stale `.res` fixture can extend validation evidence unchanged.
+- PackedScene finalization remains separate because it instantiates a probe Node
+  and uses WMOBuilder metadata rather than script/format Resource fields.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Lightweight WMO terminal polling | Implemented extraction | Status/order/source/timing verifier | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Script/format validation | Implemented extraction | Wrong/stale/current/newer fixtures | Legal serialized fixture pending |
+| Resource/missing publication | Implemented extraction | Exact identity/negative-state fixtures | Asset-backed lifetime/leak run pending |
+| WMO materialization | Loader-owned | Existing build regressions | Further safe extraction pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- ResourceLoader status/get remains synchronous main-thread boundary polling.
+- No proprietary WMO corpus, serialized corrupt-version fixture, leak run,
+  traversal p95/p99 or paired original-client capture is included.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- The renderer main thread serializes Mesh metadata and surface mutation.
+- The caller owns Mesh identity, scene traversal, attachment and destruction.
+- ArrayMesh surfaces adopt only non-null builder results; otherwise the exact
+  cached Material remains attached.
+- The service retains no Resource, Node, RID, file, queue or per-path state.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Null Mesh | Guard | Return null | Synthetic contract | Correct caller input |
+| Current Mesh | Version metadata | Return exact identity, no builder call | Identity/version contract | Version bump makes it stale |
+| Unsupported Mesh subtype | Type check after stamp | Return exact identity | PrimitiveMesh contract | No surface work required |
+| Null/unmarked Material | Metadata guard | Preserve exact surface value | Surface contract | Rebuild cache with metadata |
+| Missing builder/null result | Boundary guard/result | Preserve exact Material | Synthetic contract | Correct composition/retry after version bump |
+| Shutdown | Loader lifecycle | No retained work to cancel | Shutdown suite | New loader composes a new service |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+Refresh version `10` and metadata key `wow_wmo_material_refresh_version` are the
+existing runtime compatibility boundary. No project setting, profile, permit or
+feature flag is introduced.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+The module writes only the existing runtime Mesh metadata stamp and serializes
+nothing. It does not change WMO scene/render cache formats or trigger rebakes.
+A future material-rule change must deliberately bump the refresh version.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+The finalizer emits no logs and allocates no metrics. Existing `wmobuild` queue
+metrics and loader diagnostics remain the operational correlation surface.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_wmo_runtime_mesh_finalizer.gd`: null/current/non-ArrayMesh identity,
+  version stamp, null/unmarked surface retention, compact path indices,
+  flags/shader/blend/default and shader colors, exact builder adoption,
+  missing-builder behavior, source ownership and 1,000 current calls under one second.
+- Adjacent WMO queue/cache/finalizer, shutdown, material and baseline regressions
+  protect orchestration and visible output.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact behavior-preserving extraction; no private asset or
+  original-client visual-parity claim is added.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- Asset-backed WMO fixtures may compare reconstructed surface parameters without
+  changing the service contract.
+- A deliberate material refresh change may bump the owned version with old/new
+  fixtures and paired visual evidence.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Runtime refresh admission | Implemented extraction | Identity/version/type contracts | Serialized cache fixture pending |

+| Scene traversal | Runtime scene preparer-owned | Cached/live traversal regressions | Asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Node materialization | Loader/group-materializer-owned | Existing WMO regressions | Further safe extraction pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks

+# WMO Runtime Scene Preparer
+
+## Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Status | Implemented |
+| Target | M03 Renderer Facade and Safe Extraction |
+| Work package | `M03-RND-WMO-RUNTIME-SCENE-PREPARER-001` |
+| Owner | Render |
+| Last verified | 2026-08-01 |
+
+## Purpose
+
+`WmoRuntimeScenePreparer` applies the existing post-instantiation rules to a
+borrowed WMO subtree on the renderer main thread. Cached scenes receive recursive
+Mesh finalization before render policy; live-built duplicates receive render
+policy only.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- load, validate, instantiate, duplicate, place or attach a WMO scene;
+- change `WmoRuntimeMeshFinalizer` material/version rules;
+- own the supplied subtree or decide Editor persistence;
+- change cache formats, queue progress, permits or shutdown;
+- implement portal/room visibility or recursive occluder discovery.
+
+## Context and boundaries
+
+The loader distinguishes validated cached PackedScene instances from duplicated
+live-built prototypes. That distinction remains explicit through two public
+methods so the live path does not gain cached-Mesh refresh behavior.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    Cached[Validated cached WMO instance] --> Loader[StreamingWorldLoader]
+    Live[Duplicated live-built WMO instance] --> Loader
+    Loader -->|prepare_cached_instance| Preparer[WmoRuntimeScenePreparer]
+    Loader -->|prepare_live_instance| Preparer
+    Preparer -->|cached only| MeshFinalizer[WmoRuntimeMeshFinalizer]
+    Preparer --> Policy[Direct Occluders policy + recursive shadow enabling]
+    Policy --> Borrowed[Borrowed WMO Node3D subtree]
+    Loader --> Placement[Placement/attachment/registry lifecycle]
+```
+
+## Public API
+
+| Symbol | Role | Thread/lifetime | Failure behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `prepare_cached_instance(instance, extracted_directory, enable_occlusion_culling, cast_shadows)` | Finalize cached subtree Meshes, then apply render policy | Renderer main thread; stateless after return | Null/freed root returns false |
+| `prepare_live_instance(instance, enable_occlusion_culling, cast_shadows)` | Apply render policy without Mesh finalization | Renderer main thread; stateless after return | Null/freed root returns false |
+
+Both methods borrow the root and return a success flag. Disabled occlusion removes
+only the direct child named `Occluders`, matching the previous loader lookup.
+Enabled shadows set all descendant `GeometryInstance3D` nodes to ON. Disabled
+shadows preserve every existing value rather than forcing OFF.
+
+## Inputs and outputs
+
+| Direction | Contract/data | Producer | Consumer | Ownership | Thread/lifetime |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Input | Cached or live-built WMO `Node3D` | Loader scene/prototype adapter | Preparer | Borrowed exact subtree | One main-thread call |
+| Input | Extracted directory | Loader configuration | Runtime Mesh finalizer via preparer | Borrowed String | Cached preparation call |
+| Input | Occlusion/shadow policy | Loader quality configuration | Preparer | Scalar values | One call |
+| Internal | Mesh/MultiMesh Mesh reference | Borrowed subtree traversal | `WmoRuntimeMeshFinalizer` | Exact Resource reference; not retained by preparer | One cached call |
+| Output | Success flag | Preparer | Loader | Value | Immediate |
+| Side effect | Mesh refresh, optional child removal and shadow mutation | Preparer | Borrowed subtree | SceneTree remains loader/placement-owned | Until subtree release |
+
+No filesystem, ResourceLoader, worker, RID, cache, queue, placement, attachment,
+Editor-owner or diagnostic side effect is introduced.
+
+## Data flow

+    Preparer -. no dependency .-> Queue[WMO queues / RenderBudgetScheduler]
+    Preparer -. no dependency .-> Placement[WmoPlacementResolver / Registry]
+```
+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Calls are main-thread only because Mesh Resources and SceneTree nodes mutate.
+- The loader/placement registry retains ownership of the root and descendants.
+- Mesh finalization receives exact borrowed Resource identities.
+- A removed direct `Occluders` child is detached and `queue_free()`d as before.
+- The service retains no Node, Resource, RID, path, collection or state after return.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Null/freed root | Guard | Return false, no traversal | Caller drops/retries stale placement |
+| Missing finalizer composition | Null dependency | Skip Mesh refresh but apply render policy | Fix renderer composition before cached use |
+| Null Mesh | Exact finalizer call for MeshInstance; finalizer handles null | Continue traversal | Cache rebuild/finalizer diagnostics |
+| Null MultiMesh or its Mesh | Guard/finalizer contract | Skip null MultiMesh; finalizer handles null Mesh | Continue safely |
+| Occlusion disabled | Direct-child lookup | Detach and queue-free `Occluders` | Reinstantiate to restore subtree |
+| Shadows disabled | Policy branch | Preserve current node settings | Re-run with enabled policy if required |
+| Placement cancellation/shutdown | Loader lifecycle | Service has no retained work to cancel | Existing subtree release/drain order |
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+The service introduces no setting. It receives existing
+`enable_occlusion_culling` and `wmo_cast_shadows` values. The direct-child name
+`Occluders` and shadow-ON behavior are compatibility rules, not new capabilities.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No serialized format or cache version changes. Cached Mesh refresh metadata
+continues to belong to `WmoRuntimeMeshFinalizer`; no rebake or migration is needed.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+The preparer emits no log or metric. Loader placement/build metrics and the Mesh
+finalizer contracts remain the diagnostic surfaces.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_wmo_runtime_scene_preparer.gd` covers cached parent-before-children
+  Mesh/MultiMesh identity, directory forwarding, null MultiMesh, direct versus
+  nested `Occluders`, enabled/preserved shadows, live finalizer suppression,
+  missing dependency, invalid roots, source boundaries and 1,000 traversals.
+- Adjacent WMO finalizer/cache/queue/shutdown and checkpoint checks protect the
+  unchanged lifecycle and presentation behavior.
+- Fidelity evidence is exact behavior-preserving extraction; no asset-backed or
+  original-client 3.3.5a visual-parity claim is added.
+
+The synthetic budget is 1,000 two-Mesh cached preparations under one second.
+Asset-backed CPU/GPU p95/p99, traversal and leak measurements remain pending.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- Asset-backed traversal can validate material identity and subtree lifetime
+  without expanding this service contract.
+- Portal/room visibility requires its own documented WMO service and evidence;
+  it must not be hidden inside generic subtree preparation.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Cached WMO subtree Mesh finalization | Implemented extraction | Exact traversal/resource/directory contract | Asset-backed visual/GPU p95/p99 pending |
+| Live/cached render policy | Implemented extraction | Direct occluder and recursive shadow contract | Portal/room and asset-backed traversal pending |
+| Placement/attachment/lifetime | Loader-owned | Existing registry/shutdown regressions | Further orchestration extraction pending |
+
+## Known gaps and risks
+
+- Recursive Mesh finalization and shadow mutation remain synchronous main-thread work.
+- The missing-finalizer branch degrades safely for isolated tests but production
+  composition must always inject `WmoRuntimeMeshFinalizer`.
+- No private WMO corpus, portal/room behavior, long traversal, leak/GPU timing or
+  paired original-client capture is included.

+# WMO Scene Instance Factory
+
+## Metadata
+
+| Field | Value |

+| Status | Implemented |
+| Target | M03 Renderer Facade and Safe Extraction |
+| Work package | `M03-RND-WMO-SCENE-INSTANCE-FACTORY-001` |
+| Owner | Render |
+| Last verified | 2026-08-01 |
+
+## Purpose
+
+`WmoSceneInstanceFactory` creates detached WMO `Node3D` roots from validated
+cached `PackedScene` resources or live-built prototypes. It owns cache-currentness
+validation, basename assignment and canonical placement-resolver delegation.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- look up/load/cache PackedScenes or build live WMO prototypes;
+- apply Mesh/material/occluder/shadow runtime preparation;
+- attach nodes, assign Editor ownership or manage placement references;
+- own queues, permits, cache versions or world teardown;
+- define WMO placement formulas or scene-cache currentness rules.
+
+## Context and boundaries
+
+The loader selects cached versus live sources. The factory creates a detached
+instance and applies identity/placement. `WmoRuntimeScenePreparer` then applies
+path-specific presentation policy before the loader attaches/registers the root.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    Cache[WMO PackedScene cache] --> Loader[StreamingWorldLoader]
+    Prototype[Live WMO prototype cache/build] --> Loader
+    Loader --> Factory[WmoSceneInstanceFactory]

+    Resolver[WmoPlacementResolver] --> Factory
+    Factory --> Detached[Detached WMO Node3D]
+    Detached --> Preparer[WmoRuntimeScenePreparer]
+    Preparer --> Loader
+    Loader --> Scene[Attachment and placement registry]
+```
+
+## Public API
+
+| Symbol | Role | Thread/lifetime | Failure behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `is_cached_node_current(node)` | Delegate one Node to the injected cache validator | Renderer main thread; no retention | Null/missing validator returns false |
+| `instantiate_cached_scene(relative_path, scene, placement)` | Instantiate, type-check, validate, name and place a cached scene | Renderer main thread; detached result caller-owned | Invalid input/root/stale/dependency returns null; created rejected roots freed |
+| `duplicate_live_prototype(relative_path, prototype, placement)` | Duplicate, name and place a live prototype | Renderer main thread; detached result caller-owned | Null/missing resolver/unexpected duplicate returns null |
+
+The cached path validates before placement. The live path deliberately skips the
+scene-cache validator. Both paths use `get_file().get_basename()` and the exact
+`WmoPlacementResolver.resolve_world_transform` result.
+
+## Inputs and outputs
+
+| Direction | Contract/data | Producer | Consumer | Ownership | Thread/lifetime |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Input | Cached `PackedScene` or live prototype `Node3D` | Loader cache/build adapters | Factory | Borrowed Resource/Node | One main-thread call |
+| Input | Relative WMO path and placement Dictionary | Loader placement job | Factory | Borrowed values | One call |
+| Internal | Candidate root | PackedScene instantiate/prototype duplicate | Validator/factory | Factory-owned until accepted | One call |
+| Output | Detached named/placed `Node3D` | Factory | Runtime scene preparer/loader | Ownership transfers to caller | Until attachment/release |
+| Output | Currentness bool | Validator via factory | Loader cache admission | Value | Immediate |
+
+Side effects are limited to scene instantiation/duplication, candidate name and
+transform mutation, and synchronous free of rejected candidates. No attachment,
+filesystem, ResourceLoader, worker, RID, queue, cache or Editor-owner mutation.

+
+## Ownership, threading and resources
+
+- Calls are renderer-main-thread only because PackedScene/Node APIs mutate.
+- The source scene/prototype remains caller/cache-owned.
+- The factory owns a newly created root until rejection or successful return.
+- Successful return transfers detached-root ownership to the caller.
+- Descendant Mesh/Material Resources retain engine duplicate/instantiate identity.
+- The factory retains only injected stateless dependencies, never Nodes/Resources.
+
+## Errors, cancellation and recovery
+
+| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Null scene/prototype | Guard | Return null without allocation | Correct caller source |
+| Missing validator | Currentness guard | Cached candidate rejected/freed | Fix composition |
+| Missing resolver | Guard before creation | Return null without allocation | Fix composition |
+| Non-Node3D root | Runtime type check | Free candidate and return null | Rebuild invalid cache/source |
+| Stale cached root | Injected validator | Free candidate; skip placement | Rebuild cache/current metadata |
+| Placement cancellation | Loader lifecycle | Detached/attached result released by caller | Existing retry path |
+| Shutdown | No retained candidates | Nothing to drain | Existing loader teardown |
+
+The non-Node3D cached rejection now frees the created invalid root synchronously.
+Normal admitted caches already enforce Node3D through the scene finalizer, so this
+closes an error-path lifetime leak without changing valid rendered output.
+
+## Configuration and capabilities
+
+No new settings. Cache-currentness rules belong to the injected WMOBuilder
+boundary; placement formulas belong to `WmoPlacementResolver`.
+
+## Persistence, cache and migration
+
+No format/version change and no rebake. The factory reads no files and writes no
+metadata. Existing cache validator version policy remains authoritative.
+
+## Diagnostics and observability
+
+The factory emits no logs or metrics. Loader cache/placement metrics and
+synthetic rejection contracts remain the diagnostic surfaces.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `verify_wmo_scene_instance_factory.gd` covers cached validation-before-placement,
+  exact accepted root/descendant Resource identity, stale-root free, non-Node3D
+  rejection, live validator suppression, detached ownership, dependencies,
+  basename/Transform3D application, source boundaries and 1,000 duplicates.
+- Adjacent scene finalizer, placement resolver, runtime preparer, shutdown and
+  checkpoint regressions protect lifecycle and visible output.
+- Fidelity evidence is behavior-preserving extraction for valid inputs. The
+  invalid non-Node3D free is a lifetime fix, not a visual 3.3.5a change.
+
+The synthetic budget requires 1,000 simple live duplicates in under one second.
+Asset-backed CPU/GPU p95/p99 and long-traversal evidence remain pending.
+
+## Extension points
+
+- Asset-backed cached/live instances can compare placement and lifetime without
+  changing the factory API.
+- New source kinds should be separate explicit methods only when their validation
+  and identity semantics differ materially.
+
+## Capability status
+
+| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Cached WMO instantiation | Implemented extraction | Type/currentness/name/placement/lifetime contract | Serialized asset-backed cache corpus pending |
+| Live prototype duplication | Implemented extraction | Identity/name/placement/validator-suppression contract | Asset-backed traversal/leak evidence pending |
+| Runtime preparation | Separate implemented service | Runtime scene preparer regression | Visual/GPU p95/p99 pending |
+| Attachment/registry lifetime | Loader-owned | Existing WMO placement/shutdown regressions | Further orchestration extraction pending |

+| 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.
+
+## Context and boundaries

+```
+
+The service may depend on ResourceLoader, PackedScene/Node3D lifetime and the
+injected cache validator. FileAccess, size policy, placement, attached SceneTree,
+scheduler and application layers remain outside it.

+
+## 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.
