# WMO Render Build Step Planner
## Metadata
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | Implemented |
| Target/work package | M03 / `M03-RND-WMO-RENDER-BUILD-PLANNER-001` |
| Owners | Pure mesh-first WMO render-group cursor decision |
| Last verified | Worktree `work/sindo-main-codex/m03-wmo-render-build-planner`, 2026-07-17 |
| Profiles/capabilities | Lightweight WMO render-cache path; profile-independent |
## Purpose
Select exactly one next lightweight WMO render build operation from mesh and
MultiMesh counts/cursors. The planner makes the ordering and cursor transition
testable without loading a WMO, creating a Node or consuming a frame budget.
## Non-goals
- Own render Resources, Nodes, materials, jobs, queues or permits.
- Read WMO arrays, create group instances or adopt cursors in a job.
- Change group ordering, names, transforms, shadows or visibility.
- Load, validate, version or persist a WMO cache.
- Implement portals, rooms, doodad semantics or WMO visual parity.
## Context and boundaries
```mermaid
flowchart LR
Cache[WMOStreamingResource arrays] --> Loader[StreamingWorldLoader]
Job[Loader mesh/MultiMesh cursors] --> Loader
Loader --> Planner[WmoRenderBuildStepPlanner]
Planner --> Step[Operation + selected index + next cursors]
Step --> Loader
Loader --> Material[Material refresh]
Loader --> Node[MeshInstance3D or MultiMeshInstance3D]
Loader --> Budget[RenderBudgetScheduler permit]
```
The planner depends only on `RefCounted`, integers, `StringName` and a fresh
Dictionary result. Node, Resource, Mesh, MultiMesh, RID, SceneTree, files,
threads, locks, caches, gameplay, network and editor UI are forbidden.
## Public API
| Symbol | Kind | Purpose | Thread/lifetime | Errors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `OPERATION_MESH` | Constant | Identifies one mesh-group operation | Immutable | None |
| `OPERATION_MULTIMESH` | Constant | Identifies one doodad MultiMesh-group operation | Immutable | None |
| `OPERATION_COMPLETE` | Constant | Identifies exhausted mesh and MultiMesh ranges | Immutable | None |
| `plan_step(mesh_count, mesh_index, multimesh_count, multimesh_index)` | Pure query | Select one operation, selected index and next cursors | Any thread; caller-owned result | No clamp/error branch; raw integer comparisons are preserved |
## Inputs and outputs
| Direction | Contract/data | Producer | Consumer | Ownership | Thread/lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Mesh array count and current mesh cursor | Loader resource/job adapter | Planner | Integer values | One call |
| Input | MultiMesh array count and current MultiMesh cursor | Loader resource/job adapter | Planner | Integer values | One call |
| Output | `mesh`, `multimesh` or `complete` operation | Planner | Loader materializer/cancellation branch | Immutable `StringName` | One call |
| Output | Selected index | Planner | Loader Resource array access | Integer value | One operation |
| Output | Next mesh and MultiMesh cursors | Planner | Loader job adoption | Fresh Dictionary values | Until adopted/discarded |
The planner retains no input or output. Scene-tree mutation, material refresh,
job writes, permit consumption and cancellation are loader side effects.
## Data flow
```mermaid
flowchart TD
Input[Counts and cursors] --> MeshRemaining{mesh index < mesh count?}
MeshRemaining -->|yes| MeshStep[mesh at mesh index; increment mesh cursor]
MeshRemaining -->|no| MultiRemaining{MultiMesh index < MultiMesh count?}
MultiRemaining -->|yes| MultiStep[MultiMesh at its index; increment MultiMesh cursor]
MultiRemaining -->|no| Complete[complete; keep both cursors]
```
## Lifecycle/state
The planner is stateless. State belongs to the loader job. Repeated loader calls
advance through `mesh` steps, then `multimesh` steps, then `complete`. Planner
construction, cancellation, map reset and shutdown require no cleanup.
## Main sequence
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Loader as StreamingWorldLoader
participant Planner as WmoRenderBuildStepPlanner
participant Scene as SceneTree
participant Budget as RenderBudgetScheduler
Loader->>Planner: plan_step(counts, cursors)
Planner-->>Loader: operation, selected index, next cursors
alt mesh or MultiMesh
Loader->>Loader: refresh material and create group Node
Loader->>Scene: attach Node and editor owner
Loader->>Loader: adopt returned cursor
Loader->>Budget: consume one WMO group permit
else complete
Loader->>Loader: cancel/remove job and queue key
end
```
## Ownership, threading and resources
- The planner owns only call-local scalar comparisons and the returned value map.
- The loader owns Resources, mesh arrays, build jobs/queue and cursor adoption.
- The loader creates and owns every MeshInstance3D/MultiMeshInstance3D and
performs material refresh and editor-owner assignment on the main thread.
- `RenderBudgetScheduler` owns permits; the planner neither reads nor consumes one.
- Pure calls are thread-safe because the planner has no mutable state.
## Errors, cancellation and recovery
| Failure/state | Detection | Behavior | Diagnostic | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Empty arrays | Both `0 < 0` comparisons false | Return `complete` | Contract verifier | Loader removes job |
| Cursor at/beyond count | Raw integer comparison | Skip that range | Contract verifier | Continue next range or complete |
| Negative cursor/count | Raw historical comparison | No clamp; select exactly as prior loader condition | Edge fixture | Caller should maintain valid job cursors |
| Missing/invalid Resource | Loader validation before planning | Loader cancels job | Existing shutdown/runtime diagnostics | Reload/requeue placement |
| Root freed | Loader validity check before planning | Loader cancels job | Runtime-cache shutdown verifier | Placement may rebuild later |
| Placement final release | Loader/registry lifecycle | Loader cancels queued build | Registry regression | Later placement starts at cursor zero |
## Configuration and capabilities
The planner has no setting or profile branch. `wmo_render_group_ops_per_tick`,
quality presets, shadow/visibility settings and cache limits remain loader-owned.
## Persistence, cache and migration
No data is persisted. WMO render resource format/version, cache path and job
Dictionary fields are unchanged. No migration or cache rebuild is required.
## Diagnostics and observability
The planner emits no logs. Its verifier reports operation/cursor/source contracts
and bounded timing. Queue lengths, active WMO count and hitch sections remain in
existing loader/facade diagnostics.
## Verification
- `verify_wmo_render_build_step_planner.gd`: mesh-first order, cursor increments,
completion, empty and raw negative integer behavior, fresh results, loader
delegation, dependency boundary and 20,000-plan timing.
- WMO registry/resolver/material/shutdown plus renderer regressions verify the
unchanged ownership and surrounding runtime path.
- Fidelity evidence is exact extraction of existing mesh-before-MultiMesh and
one-index-per-permit behavior. No asset-backed build-12340 visual claim is made.
## Extension points
- WMO render build job/queue ownership may be extracted separately after a typed
cancellation and Resource lifetime contract exists.
- Materialization can later receive typed commands without changing this planner.
## Capability status
| Capability | Status | Evidence | Gap/next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| WMO render build step planning | Implemented | Pure contract/source/timing verifier | Asset-backed traversal p95/p99 pending |
| WMO build job/resource ownership | Partial | Existing loader/runtime regressions | Separate state/cancellation package |
| WMO visual/portal/material fidelity | Partial | Renderer baseline/material checks | Original-client paired evidence pending |
## Known gaps and risks
- Loader build jobs remain untyped Dictionaries.
- Resource array shape/length consistency remains a cache-builder invariant.
- No proprietary WMO corpus, traversal profile or paired client capture is part
of this extraction.
