 - Added `src/tools/capture_render_checkpoints.gd` to load the Eastern Kingdoms streaming scene, move a dedicated camera to fixed regression viewpoints and save PNGs under `user://render_checkpoints`.
 - Current checkpoints cover the Elwynn waterfall from front/side and Goldshire Inn/Blacksmith windows. Headless runs are dry-run only because the headless display server cannot produce viewport PNGs.

+## 2026-07-13 Renderer Shutdown Ownership
+
+- `StreamingWorldLoader` drains its asynchronous work before teardown, leaves parented streamed nodes to SceneTree ownership, then explicitly frees detached M2/WMO prototype nodes and clears resource caches.
+- `ADTBuilder` explicitly frees a temporary `Water` root when an ADT liquid payload produces no child geometry. Dry tiles must not leave empty nodes in ObjectDB.
+- `src/tools/verify_render_runtime_cache_shutdown.gd` regression-checks detached prototype and resource-cache release plus empty-liquid-root ownership. The unified render-baseline runner executes it before capture.
+- A focused 8-second GUI checkpoint and a seven-checkpoint single-pass GUI run finish without Node, renderer resource or RID leak diagnostics. A timing-dependent anonymous zero-reference `RefCounted` ObjectDB warning can remain at engine teardown; it is tracked separately and is not suppressed.
+- This is shutdown-only ownership behavior and does not alter checkpoint rendering, cache formats or the `Blizzlike335` compatibility profile.
+
 ## 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.

+# Renderer Camera Pose Sweep
+
+This offline M00 diagnostic recovers reproducible checkpoint framing when an original-client screenshot has no recorded camera yaw or pitch. It ranks a bounded grid; it does not change renderer or player-camera defaults and does not prove the exact build 12340 camera pose without human approval.
+
+## Camera contract
+
+`capture_render_checkpoints.gd` accepts additive `--camera-yaw-offset` and `--camera-pitch-offset` values in degrees. Yaw rotates the no-roll checkpoint basis around Godot world `Vector3.UP`; pitch then rotates around the camera-local right axis. Zero offsets preserve the manifest target exactly. `--single-pass` captures only `cold_process` and is intended for pose calibration, not performance baselines.
+
+## Workflow
+
+```powershell
+.\tools\sweep_render_checkpoint_camera_pose.ps1 `
+  -ReferenceDirectory 'D:\private-fixtures\wow-3.3.5a-checkpoints' `
+  -Checkpoint elwynn_adt_boundary `
+  -YawOffsets -15,-10,-5,0,5,10,15 `
+  -PitchOffsets -10,-5,0,5,10 `
+  -CameraFovValues 38,50,62 `
+  -ViewportWidth 1280 -ViewportHeight 960 `
+  -WaitSeconds 8
+```
+
+Each candidate receives its own output directory and comparison report. `-CameraFovValues` adds FOV as another bounded grid dimension; omit it to retain the scalar `-CameraFov` workflow and legacy candidate paths. The viewport must exactly match the reference image dimensions; the runner fails on `size_mismatch` instead of inventing a score. The default 8-second wait matches the M00 manifest and is a readiness precondition: lowering it requires evidence that the checkpoint's WMO/M2 content has already appeared. `ranking.json` sorts candidates by mean perceptual error and then changed-pixel ratio. Use `-PlanOnly` to validate the Cartesian grid and output paths without rendering. Run a coarse grid first, then a finer grid around the best candidate.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    Y[Yaw offsets in degrees] --> G[Bounded Cartesian grid]
+    P[Pitch offsets in degrees] --> G
+    G --> C[Single-pass checkpoint captures]
+    R[Original-client reference] --> D[Perceptual comparator]
+    C --> D
+    D --> J[ranking.json]
+    J --> H[Human framing approval]
+```
+
+## Interpretation and recovery
+
+The smallest error is a candidate, not automatic fidelity approval. Geometry, materials, lighting and FOV can move the perceptual optimum away from the true original-client pose. Inspect the best images manually and retain the original reference outside Git. A missing matching reference or candidate is a hard error; correct the checkpoint filter or filenames and rerun. Generated PNG and JSON outputs are disposable local evidence.
+
+## Verification
+
+The headless capture dry-run must report requested yaw and pitch offsets. Comparator `--self-test` covers paired metrics. Sweep `-PlanOnly` covers deterministic grid expansion and output naming without requiring a display. A real ranked sweep requires a display and a private build 12340 reference image.
+
+## Goldshire Inn evidence — 2026-07-12
+
+The private `2560x1440` build 12340 `goldshire_inn_large_wmo` reference was evaluated at FOV 62 degrees. A coarse 5x5 grid over yaw/pitch `[-20, -10, 0, 10, 20]` reduced mean error from `0.099632` at `(0, 0)` to `0.077575` at `(-10, -20)`. Extending pitch produced `0.070901` at `(0, -40)` and `0.063574` at `(0, -60)` with changed-pixel ratio `0.549556`.
+
+These values are invalid camera-pose evidence because the sweep used a 2-second wait. A subsequent readiness audit showed 9 WMO instances and no inn after 2 seconds, 113 instances with the inn visible after 8 seconds, and 328 instances after 15 seconds. The apparent monotonic improvement rewarded grass while the landmark was still absent; it does not demonstrate a spatial/placement defect. The manifest pose remains unchanged pending a ready-scene rerun.
+
+The ready-scene 3x3 rerun at FOV 62 degrees ranked `(yaw=10, pitch=-10)` first with mean error `0.087952` and changed-pixel ratio `0.665527`, compared with `0.101402`/`0.702489` at zero offsets. Human inspection confirms that the inn is present and the direction is plausible. Pitch remains on the tested boundary and the building scale differs from the reference, so these offsets are coarse evidence only; a joint pitch/FOV refinement is required before changing manifest camera values.
+
+## Goldshire joint pitch/FOV refinement — 2026-07-12
+
+A WMO-ready joint grid fixed yaw at 10 degrees and evaluated pitch `[-25, -20, -15, -10, -5]` across FOV `[38, 50, 62]`. Full-frame error ranked FOV 62/pitch -25 first at `0.078843` with changed-pixel ratio `0.667721`. Human inspection rejects it as a manifest calibration: the view is dominated by grass and crops the inn. FOV 38/pitch -10 is closer to the reference building scale but ranks only `0.084220`, and horizontal landmark alignment remains different.
+
+The grid therefore has no approved joint optimum. Full-frame color error continues to trade landmark framing against large terrain regions. The manifest remains unchanged. The next registration method must score an approved inn/road/tree landmark region or explicit landmark coordinates rather than the entire image.
+
+## Common landmark region — 2026-07-12
+
+The comparator accepts an optional common screen rectangle through `--region x,y,width,height`; the sweep runner exposes it as `-ComparisonRegion x,y,width,height`. Coordinates are integer pixels in the shared reference/candidate image space. Both images must have identical dimensions and the rectangle must be fully inside them. Omitting the option preserves full-frame behavior.
+
+The existing 15 WMO-ready Goldshire candidates were rescored inside `[300,100,1400,650]`, covering the reference facade/chimney and nearby trees. ROI error ranked FOV 38/yaw 10/pitch -15 first at `0.081777` with changed-pixel ratio `0.697185`. This is an interior pitch candidate and improves on the full-frame grass preference, but human inspection still rejects manifest calibration: the facade is too large, its upper part is cropped, and the rectangle retains substantial road/terrain pixels. A common rectangle is useful diagnostic weighting, not semantic landmark registration. Explicit approved landmark coordinates or a mask remain necessary.
+
+During this run the sweep orchestration was hardened in two ways: expected comparator exit code `1` is now collected through an explicit child process, and viewport dimensions are explicit. A reference/candidate `size_mismatch` now fails before ranking instead of producing an empty metric.

+# M00 Final Paired Evidence — 2026-07-13
+
+## Scope and result
+
+The final local M00 audit used Godot 4.6.1, the existing cache state, the manifest-standard 8-second readiness wait, and `2560x1440` visual candidates. Seven private WoW 3.3.5a build 12340 references produced fourteen cold/warm comparisons with no missing pair. Private images and generated reports remain outside Git.
+
+Every pair exceeded the strict regression tolerance. Comparator exit code `1` means a valid report with measured visual gaps; only codes outside `0/1` are infrastructure failures. This evidence establishes coverage and current differences, not renderer parity.
+
+```powershell

+  -VisualComparisonHeight 1440
+```
+
+The initial shell timeout detached the canonical capture process after it started. The process completed all fourteen canonical captures and wrote `report.json`; the documented visual-capture and comparator stages were then invoked separately with the same arguments. The final output directory contains both complete reports.

+| `gryphon_roost_native_animation` | warm | 0.119471 | 0.882076 | Full-frame metric is diagnostic only; animation observation is human evidence |
+
+Cold and warm values are close for all seven references. The measured gaps are therefore not explained by first-visit cache readiness. Goldshire timing evidence separately demonstrated that the 8-second wait is necessary for WMO publication.

+
+An ADT scan found no `GryphonRoost01` placement in Goldshire. The M00 checkpoint deliberately injects the model there as a synthetic probe. The original-client observation therefore uses two real Lakeshire placements. The three-second pose change establishes `Observed` native animation behavior, but the full-frame comparison cannot establish spatial or animation-phase parity.
+
+## Fidelity interpretation
+
+M00 now has private build 12340 evidence for every required coverage category: terrain, ADT boundary, dense M2, large WMO, liquid, animated M2 and sky transition. The sky reference is approximately paired by map position/time and manually approved composition. Animated-M2 evidence is asset-paired but placement-unpaired because the OpenWC probe is synthetic.
+
+The reports demonstrate current differences and do not claim `1:1`. Camera calibration experiments also show that unknown manual yaw/pitch/FOV cannot be recovered reliably from full-frame color error alone. Region scoring reduces terrain bias but still requires semantic landmark approval.
+
+## Operational risks
+
+A follow-up shutdown ownership fix removed the GUI renderer leaks found by the final visual capture. Before the fix, the focused animated-M2 checkpoint retained 6 mesh, 6 material, 4 shader, 6 texture, 6 instance and associated RenderingDevice RIDs, for 30 resources in use. After the fix, both the focused 8-second capture and a seven-checkpoint single-pass capture completed without Node, resource or RID leak diagnostics.
+
+Godot can still emit a timing-dependent ObjectDB warning for one or more anonymous `RefCounted` objects whose reported reference count is already zero. The warning has no retained Node, renderer resource or RID ownership in the verified captures. It remains recorded as an engine-teardown diagnostic rather than being hidden, but it is distinct from the resolved GUI renderer leak.
+
+## Integrator decision checklist

+- Sky transition: build-12340 19:00 evidence present with approximate paired camera and human-approved composition.

+- GUI renderer RID/resource diagnostics: resolved by explicit shutdown ownership and covered by a headless regression verifier; the residual zero-reference `RefCounted` engine-teardown warning remains tracked separately.

+- The first Goldshire pose grid was invalidated by WMO readiness: the inn is absent after 2 seconds but visible after the manifest-standard 8-second wait. Pose comparisons must stabilize asynchronous checkpoint content first.
+- A ready-scene Goldshire 3x3 grid improved mean error from `0.101402` at zero offsets to `0.087952` at yaw `10`/pitch `-10`; pitch/FOV refinement remains required before manifest calibration.
+- Joint Goldshire pitch/FOV refinement had no human-approved optimum: full-frame error preferred grass-heavy FOV 62/pitch -25, while FOV 38/pitch -10 better matched building scale. Landmark/region scoring is required before calibration.
+- Common-region scoring `[300,100,1400,650]` moved Goldshire's numeric optimum to FOV 38/yaw 10/pitch -15, but human inspection still found an oversized/cropped facade; semantic landmarks or masks remain required.
+- Final paired audit compared fourteen cold/warm images for seven private build 12340 references with zero missing pairs; mean error ranges `0.066893..0.176955`. Animated-M2 native motion is observed across two original-client phases, but its real Lakeshire placement differs from the synthetic Goldshire probe. Sky-transition evidence uses the checkpoint map position/time with manually approved approximate framing.
+- D3D12 descriptor issues remain. Explicit shutdown ownership removes the GUI capture's Node/resource/RID leaks in focused and seven-checkpoint runs; a timing-dependent ObjectDB warning for anonymous zero-reference `RefCounted` objects remains as a separate engine-teardown diagnostic.
 - M2/WMO/material/particle/ribbon/portal parity incomplete.
 - Public API is mostly exported configuration rather than stable contracts.

 ## Evidence

- Date: 2026-07-10
- Revision/worktree: `93bfe11` + worktree baseline changes.
- Commands: `.\tools\run_render_baseline.ps1 -DryRun -WaitSeconds 0.1 -MeasureSeconds 0.1 -Output user://render_baseline_runner_test`; `.\tools\run_render_baseline.ps1 -Output user://render_baseline_m00_2026-07-10 -CacheState existing`.
- Results: headless load, renderer material smoke, M2 unique-id dedupe and manifest contract passed. Full run produced 14 PNGs and 14 result records for 7 cold/warm checkpoints. Actual renderer was Godot 4.6.1, Vulkan Forward+, NVIDIA RTX 5070, 1280x900, High profile, with all seven cache families present. Cold p95 range was 31.585..86.537 ms with max hitch 258.456 ms; warm p95 range was 18.824..38.085 ms with max hitch 163.363 ms. The final streaming snapshots had an empty tile queue. Report: `user://render_baseline_m00_2026-07-10/report.json`.
- Fidelity comparison: fixed positions/time/profile and current visual gaps are recorded, but no approved paired screenshots from the original WoW 3.3.5a build 12340 were available. This baseline does not claim parity.
- Changed files: `RENDER.md`, `docs/RENDER_BASELINE.md`, `src/scenes/streaming/streaming_world_loader.gd`, `src/tools/capture_render_checkpoints.gd`, `src/tools/render_baseline_manifest.json`, `src/tools/verify_render_baseline_manifest.gd`, `tools/run_render_baseline.ps1`, `targets/00-render-baseline.md`.
- Remaining risks: original-client paired comparison is still required before DONE; D3D12 descriptor heap creation failed and the measured run fell back to Vulkan; shutdown reported leaked renderer RIDs/resources; current captures intentionally preserve visible terrain/placement/material/animation gaps, including the synthetic native animated M2 probe; perceptual image diff/tolerance is documented but not automated yet.
+- Date: 2026-07-13
+- Revision/worktree: merged M00 implementation through `f19c0c4`; closeout worktree `work/sindo-main-codex/m00-integrator-closeout`.
+- Commands: `.\tools\run_render_baseline.ps1 -Output user://render_baseline_m00_complete_2026-07-13 -CacheState existing -WaitSeconds 8 -MeasureSeconds 0.5 -ReferenceCheckpointDirectory .\sources\OpenWCReferenceCheckpoints -VisualComparisonReport user://render_baseline_m00_complete_2026-07-13/visual_comparison.json -VisualComparisonWidth 2560 -VisualComparisonHeight 1440`; `.\tools\run_render_baseline.ps1 -DryRun -WaitSeconds 0.1 -MeasureSeconds 0.1 -Output user://render_baseline_m00_post_merge`; `.\tools\verify_coordination.ps1`; `.\tools\verify_documentation.ps1`.
+- Results: the final GUI run produced fourteen cold/warm captures for seven checkpoints and all seven required coverage categories, with `compared=14` and `missing=0`. The post-merge dry-run passed project load, material, M2 unique-id dedupe, runtime-cache shutdown, manifest and five-point coordinate calibration checks. Coordination and documentation gates passed. Renderer shutdown follow-up removed retained Node/resource/RID diagnostics in focused and seven-checkpoint GUI runs.
+- Fidelity comparison: private original-client WoW 3.3.5a build 12340 references cover terrain, ADT boundary, dense M2, large WMO, liquid, animated M2 and sky transition. Every measured pair exceeds the strict visual tolerance and is recorded as a current gap rather than parity. Sky framing is approximately paired; animated M2 is asset-paired but placement-unpaired because the OpenWC Goldshire probe is synthetic. Full metrics and provenance are recorded in `docs/M00_FINAL_PAIRED_EVIDENCE.md`.
+- Changed files: `RENDER.md`, `docs/RENDER_BASELINE.md`, `docs/M00_FINAL_PAIRED_EVIDENCE.md`, `docs/modules/world-renderer.md`, renderer baseline scripts/verifiers, manifest/capture tooling, streaming shutdown ownership and M00 coordination claims.
+- Remaining risks: renderer parity is not claimed; documented terrain/material/placement/animation/lighting/liquid/culling gaps remain future renderer work. D3D12 descriptor heap creation can fall back to Vulkan. Godot can emit a timing-dependent anonymous zero-reference `RefCounted` teardown warning without retained Node/resource/RID ownership.

 ## Outcome

 - MPQ/BLP/ADT/WDT/M2/WMO native parsing и renderer vertical slice уже существуют.
 - Runtime streaming, terrain quality, MultiMesh M2, WMO caches, liquids, sky и character experiments находятся в рабочем состоянии, но сосредоточены в крупных orchestration scripts.
- Renderer baseline M00 создан; до `DONE` не хватает paired comparison с оригинальным клиентом и закрытия известных diagnostic gaps.
+- Renderer baseline M00 завершён: paired comparison с оригинальным клиентом записывает измеренные gaps без заявления parity, а обязательные diagnostic gaps закрыты или явно классифицированы. Текущая работа M01 вводит coordinate и architecture seams.
 - Gameplay domain, network protocol, production UI/Lua, audio orchestration и server adapters в основном предстоит реализовать.
 - Editor plugin пока решает extraction/preview задачи, но не является полноценной authoring platform.
