# M03-RND-ADT-WATER-SCENE-FINALIZER-001 — ADT water scene finalizer

<!-- OPENWC_CLAIM:M03-RND-ADT-WATER-SCENE-FINALIZER-001:sindo-main-codex:2026-07-20 -->

## Ownership

- Target: M03
- Program: RND
- Owner/Agent ID: sindo-main-codex
- Branch: `work/sindo-main-codex/m03-adt-water-scene-finalizer`
- Lease expires UTC: 2026-07-20
- Integrator: M03 milestone integrator

## Outcome

Extract main-thread ADT water subtree construction, tile-root attachment and
optional recursive editor ownership from `StreamingWorldLoader` while retaining
the existing `ADTBuilder` geometry/material implementation.

## Non-goals

- Parse or reinterpret MH2O/MCLQ data.
- Own pending requests, WorkerThreadPool tasks or parsed-result delivery.
- Consume `WATER_FINALIZE` permits or validate tile/path/result staleness.
- Mark tile state `water_loaded` or choose whether water is enabled.
- Change liquid geometry, materials, coordinates, cache formats or profiles.

## Paths

- Exclusive: `src/render/liquid/adt_water_scene_finalizer.gd`,
  `src/tools/verify_adt_water_scene_finalizer.gd`,
  `docs/modules/adt-water-scene-finalizer.md`, this claim
- Shared/hotspots: `src/scenes/streaming/streaming_world_loader.gd`,
  `docs/modules/adt-water-load-pipeline-state.md`,
  `docs/modules/world-renderer.md`, `docs/modules/README.md`, `RENDER.md`,
  `targets/03-renderer-facade.md`
- Generated/ignored: `.godot`, native DLL, generated ADT resources, caches and
  proprietary renderer corpus

## Contracts and data

- Empty water data or invalid tile root produces no Node and no scene mutation.
- Existing `ADTBuilder.build_tile_water_scene` remains the only geometry/material source.
- A non-empty built Water root is attached exactly once to the supplied tile root.
- Optional editor ownership is assigned recursively only when explicitly enabled
  and an edited scene root is available.
- The returned Node is borrowed and remains owned by the tile SceneTree subtree.

## Dependencies

- Requires: accepted water pipeline package on current master `e1b2886`
- Blocks: further liquid finalization/material responsibility extraction
- External state: none; verification uses synthetic liquid dictionaries

## Verification

- Commands: dedicated empty/invalid/build/attach/editor-owner/source/timing
  verifier; water pipeline, materials, shutdown, facade, internal-access,
  manifest, documentation and coordination gates
- Fixtures: synthetic one-cell liquid mask/heights and temporary Node roots
- Fidelity evidence: exact existing ADTBuilder output and two attachment paths preserved
- Performance budget: 100 empty finalization attempts under 1 second

## Documentation deliverables

- Inline public API docs
- Module specification with inputs/outputs, ownership and source map
- Data-flow, lifecycle/state, main-thread sequence and dependency diagrams
- Water-pipeline, world-renderer, module registry and RENDER status updates

## Simplicity and naming

- Important names introduced: `AdtWaterSceneFinalizer`
- Simplest considered solution: one RefCounted with one explicit attach operation
- Rejected complexity/abstractions: generic scene finalizer, signals, callbacks,
  builder interface, queue ownership or alternate liquid renderer
- Unavoidable complexity and justification: editor-persisted generated subtrees
  require recursive owner assignment after SceneTree attachment
- Measured optimization evidence: bounded synthetic no-water loop

## Status

- State: claimed
- Done: both loader-owned water materialization call sites and policy boundaries identified
- Next: implement finalizer, migrate adapters, verify and document
- Blocked by:
