## Multiplayer Session and Transport Flow

- Roots: `multiplayer_window_init_globals` at `0x004efe80`, `multiplayer_window_service_loop` at
  `0x004f03f0`, the Multiplayer.win session-event callback table built by
  `multiplayer_register_session_event_callbacks` at `0x0046a900`, the active session-event transport
  object at `0x006cd970`, the Multiplayer preview dataset object at `0x006cd8d8`, and the lower
  pending-template and text-stream helpers around `0x00597880..0x0059caf0`.
- Trigger/Cadence: shell-owned Multiplayer.win frame service plus event-driven session callbacks and
  repeated transport pump steps.
- Key Dispatchers: session-event wrappers for actions `1`, `2`, `4`, `7`, `8`;
  `multiplayer_register_session_event_callbacks`; `multiplayer_dispatch_requested_action`;
  `multiplayer_reset_preview_dataset_and_request_action`;
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_service_frame`; `multiplayer_load_selected_map_preview_surface`;
  `multiplayer_flush_session_event_transport`; `multiplayer_transport_service_frame`;
  `multiplayer_transport_service_worker_once`;
  `multiplayer_transport_service_route_callback_tables`;
  `multiplayer_transport_service_status_and_live_routes`;
  `multiplayer_transport_text_stream_service_io`;
  `multiplayer_transport_dispatch_pending_template_node`;
  `multiplayer_transport_service_pending_template_dispatch_store`.
- State Anchors: live session globals at `0x006d40d0`, active session-event transport object at
  `0x006cd970`, status latch at `0x006cd974`, session-event mode latch at `0x006cd978`, retry
  counter at `0x006cd984`, preview dataset object at `0x006cd8d8`, preview-valid flag at
  `0x006ce9bc`, staged preview strings at `0x006ce670` and `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f48]`, Multiplayer.win
  backing block at `0x006d1270`, selector-view store root at `[transport+0xab4]`, selector-view
  generation counters at `[transport+0xab8]..[transport+0xac0]`, selector-view backing arrays around
  `[transport+0xad0]..[transport+0xae4]`, selector-view entry probe-request id at `[entry+0x50]`,
  live-state gate at `[entry+0x58]`, third-slot flag word at `[entry+0x64]`, probe-schedule tick at
  `[entry+0x68]`, last-success tick at `[entry+0x6c]`, pending-probe latch at `[entry+0x74]`,
  success generation at `[entry+0x78]`, consecutive-failure counter at `[entry+0x7c]`, rolling
  average at `[entry+0x80]`, recent sample window at `[entry+0x84..]`, bounded sample-count at
  `[entry+0x94]`, total-success count at `[entry+0x98]`, pending-template list at
  `[transport+0x550]`, dispatch store at `[worker+0x54c]`, and text-stream buffers rooted under
  `[worker+0x1c]`.
- Subsystem Handoffs: the Multiplayer.win initializer seeds the backing block at `0x006d1270`, later
  reset paths construct the separate preview dataset at `0x006cd8d8`, and the shell-owned
  active-mode frame services that dataset every frame through
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_service_frame`. That preview side publishes roster and status
  controls through the Multiplayer window control paths, loads `.gmt` preview surfaces through
  `multiplayer_load_selected_map_preview_surface`, and is even reused by the map/save coordinator’s
  mode-`11` `.gmt` path when the dataset already exists. The preview owner now has a tighter
  internal request split too. The fixed selector-descriptor list at `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f28]` is built
  through `multiplayer_preview_dataset_append_named_callback_descriptor` `0x00469930`, whose
  current grounded owner is the fixed registration block
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_register_fixed_named_callback_descriptors_1_to_10` `0x00473a60`;
  the variable-size named UI-request list at `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f2c]` is built through
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_append_named_ui_request_record` `0x00469a50`; and the staged
  profile/path strings live at `[0x006cd8d8+0x8e10]` and `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f48]`, with the broader
  action-`2` staging path now bounded by
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_stage_profile_text_selected_path_and_sync_session_state`
  `0x0046a030`. The companion action-`3` commit path is tighter too:
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_match_named_field_slot_copy_profile_text_and_probe_selection`
  `0x0046a110` now sits directly above the lazily initialized `0x80 * 0x11c` field-slot table at
  `[0x006cd8d8+0x10]`, whose owner is
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_ensure_field_slot_table_initialized` `0x0046a1a0`. The shared
  submitter above those lists is now explicit too:
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_submit_transport_request` `0x00469d30` accepts the caller’s
  request-id, selector, payload pointer and length, flag word, and optional auxiliary pointer,
  optionally allocates one sidecar object, and then either sends the request directly through the
  session-event transport or takes the slower packed branch through `0x00553000/0x00552ff0` into
  `0x00521dc0`. The constructor and teardown side are tighter now too.
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_construct_reset_globals_and_seed_callback_owners` `0x0046be80`
  is the real reset owner above the action-`2/3` branches in
  `multiplayer_dispatch_requested_action`: it re-enters the paired release body
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_release_owned_lists_transients_and_session_side_state`
  `0x0046bc40`, clears the surrounding launcher globals, allocates the field-slot table and the
  keyed request/descriptor owners, seeds the render target and staging buffers, and then calls
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_reset_global_callback_state_and_register_selector_handlers`
  `0x00473280` plus the smaller fixed-name block
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_register_fixed_named_callback_descriptors_1_to_10` `0x00473a60`.
  That broader registration pass `0x00473280` now bounds the selector-handler family too: it
  zeroes the global scratch bands `0x006ce808..0x006ce994` and `0x006ce290`, seeds default
  callback root `[0x006cd8d8+0x08]` with `0x0046f4a0`, and populates the keyed selector table at
  `[0x006cd8d8+0x04]` through
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_register_selector_callback_if_absent` `0x00468b10` for selectors
  `1..0x83`. The concrete callback bodies under that table are tighter now too. The small split is
  real rather than guessed: `0x0046c390` is the direct control-`0x109` publish leaf through
  `0x00469d30`; `0x0046c3c0` is the fixed-session-token plus launch-latch arm path; and the large
  sibling `0x0046c420` is the real apply-owner for one incoming session payload slab copied into
  `0x006cec74` before the shell-refresh follow-ons. A second callback cluster now owns live
  session-entry flags instead of just relaying transport payloads: `0x0046c7c0` rewrites the
  elapsed-pair dwords `[entry+0x54/+0x58]`, `0x0046c840` sets bit `0x08` in `[entry+0x5c]`,
  `0x0046c870` toggles bit `0x01` from payload byte `[msg+0x08]`, `0x0046cf10` sets bit `0x04`,
  and `0x0046cf70` is the list-wide clear of that same bit-`0x01` lane across every live session
  entry. The broader callback `0x0046c8c0` sits above those single-field leaves and applies either
  one or many embedded session-field update records before republishing the list. The pending-state
  side is separated now too: `0x0046cce0`, `0x0046cd10`, `0x0046ce90`, and `0x0046d230` are the
  current small latch/state owners under `0x006cd91c`, `0x006d1280`, `0x006d1284`, and
  `0x006ce9c8`, while `0x0046cd30` and `0x0046ce10` are the paired current-session string/scalar
  submit-and-apply handlers over `[entry+0x258c/+0x268c/+0x2690/+0x2694]`. The same callback table
  also owns one small fixed transfer-progress family rooted at `0x006ce2e8`: `0x0046cfe0`
  allocates the first free `0x5c` slot and optionally formats one label string, `0x0046d090`
  appends progress payload into the matched slot while publishing one percent string through
  `0x005387a0`, and `0x0046d1d0` clears the finished slot and frees that optional label. On the
  release side, `0x0046bc40` now clearly owns the request-list,
  descriptor-list, semicolon-name, pooled-span, render-target, and auxiliary-owner teardown, while
  `multiplayer_shutdown_preview_dataset_session_object_and_global_helper` `0x0046c230` is the
  final wrapper that additionally drops the live session object at `0x006d40d0` and the shared
  helper at `0x00d973b4`. The small tuple staging below that family is bounded too:
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_touch_current_session_year_bucket_and_return_staged_tuple`
  `0x0046b6d0` now owns the keyed session-bucket touch under `[session+0x2580]` for the staged
  tuple at `[0x006cd8d8+0x9048]`, and the companion
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_stage_optional_selected_token_from_source_ptr` `0x0046d610` writes
  the optional derived token into `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f38]`. The next service layer under the same
  owner is tighter too: `multiplayer_preview_dataset_prune_session_buckets_below_current_year_key`
  `0x0046b910` now bounds the older keyed-bucket drain under `[session+0x2580]`, while
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_service_current_session_buckets_and_publish_selector0x67`
  `0x0046b9f0` owns the current-bucket walk, the local counters `[+0x987c/+0x9890]`, and the
  later selector-`0x67` publish branch back through `0x00469d30`. Its local batch-publish child
  `multiplayer_preview_dataset_publish_accumulated_selector0x71_record_batch` `0x00473bf0` is now
  bounded too: it packages the fixed-width records at `0x006cd990`, prefixes `(0, count)`, sends
  them as selector `0x71`, and then clears the live record count `0x006ce9a0`. The immediate local
  helpers under that same band are now explicit too: `0x0046d260` is the fixed-record append
  primitive that grows `0x006cd990` up to `0x80` entries, while `0x0046d240` is the paired release
  of the optional selector-`0x71` staging blob at `0x006ce994`. The first fixed named-descriptor
  block under `multiplayer_preview_dataset_register_fixed_named_callback_descriptors_1_to_10`
  `0x00473a60` is tighter in the same way now. Its concrete roots `0x0046db10`, `0x0046db50`,
  `0x0046db90`, `0x0046dbd0`, `0x0046dd10`, `0x0046de40`, `0x0046de80`, `0x0046e030`, and
  `0x0046e250` all return small static records rooted at `0x006ce9dc..0x006cea3c`; each record
  carries a leading tag byte plus the same derived world-year key from `[0x006cec78+0x0d]`, while
  the heavier siblings add collection-backed totals from `0x0062be10`, `0x006ceb9c`, `0x0062b26c`,
  `0x006cfca8`, or `0x006cfcbc` together with local overlay, geometry, or object-metric sample
  paths. The immediate helper strip beneath that same first named block is tighter now too.
  `0x0046d980` is the direct `0x006ceb9c` name-to-index lookup over `[entry+0x08]`, while
  `0x0046d9e0` is the heavier companion that first resolves the current live session from
  `0x006d40d0`, matches that session-side string against the same `0x006ceb9c` table, and returns
  the matching entry index or `0xff`. Above those, `0x0046f8f0` resolves and validates one
  `0x0062be10` entry, then keeps it only when its profile-index field `[entry+0x3b]` equals the
  live-session-backed `0x006ceb9c` index from `0x0046d9e0`; and `0x0046f870` is the paired
  rounded-delta leaf that takes one float plus one collection byte index and writes the rounded
  positive/negative pair into metric ids `0x0f` and `0x0d` through `0x0042a040`. So this first
  descriptor band is no longer just a bag of static record roots: it also owns a real local helper
  family for `0x006ceb9c` name matching, live-session profile matching, and one narrow metric-pair
  apply path beneath the higher callback bodies. The next selector layer above that helper strip is
  tighter now too. Selector `0x12` is the small validate-or-error wrapper above selector `0x13`,
  and selector `0x13` body `0x004706b0` resolves the same live-session company match, attempts the
  placed-structure apply path through `0x004197e0`, `0x004134d0`, `0x0040eba0`, `0x0052eb90`, and
  `0x0040ef10`, and otherwise falls back to a hashed selector-`0x6e` publish over the first
  `0x1c` payload bytes. The same pattern appears again one pair later: selector `0x16` is the
  thin validate-or-error wrapper above selector `0x17`, and selector `0x17` consumes a count plus
  `0x33`-stride adjunct record band, resolves one live train-side entry under `0x006cfcbc`,
  re-enters `0x004a77b0`, `0x0052e720`, `0x0040eba0`, `0x0052eb90`, and `0x0040ef10`, and again
  falls back to hashed selector `0x6e` publish when the live apply path does not land. The later
  status pair is bounded too: selector `0x19` is another thin wrapper, and selector `0x1a` either
  derives a status code from `0x0046ed30` and current live-session name matching or treats the
  four-byte payload directly as that status code before publishing localized status text
  `0x0b7f/0x0b80`. One selector-pair above the metric leaf is now explicit too:
  the earlier front edge of the same callback table is tighter now too. Selector `0x02` compares
  staged profile text against the shell profile band at `[0x006cec7c+0x11]`, can advance the
  requested-action fields `0x006d1280/0x006d1284`, can queue selector `0x53`, and on the success
  path syncs the larger shell profile block rooted at `[0x006cec7c+0x44]`. The next small strip is
  also grounded: selector `0x0a` clears `[world+0x19]`, seeds `[world+0x66ae]`, mirrors peer byte
  `[peer+0x2690]` into named-profile byte `[entry+0x15c]`, refreshes `0x006ce98c`, and optionally
  republishes one local status path. Selector `0x0b` is then the small token-staging wrapper above
  selector `0x0c`, and selector `0x0c` itself forwards one signed byte pair into `0x00434680`
  before adjusting dataset counter `0x006cd8e8`. The other small early leaves are now bounded too:
  selector `0x0f` pops one node from the current session queue at `[session+0x64]`, publishes that
  node through `0x00469d30`, and releases it; selector `0x10` looks one payload key up in the
  session-side store `[session+0x60]` and forwards the result plus dataset string root
  `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f48]` into `0x00521790`. One selector-pair above the metric leaf is now explicit too:
  selector-`0x15` body `0x00470950` consumes the same compact `(float delta, company-index byte)`
  payload shape, resolves the matching live-session company entry through `0x0046f8f0`, submits
  selector `0x6b` through `0x00469d30`, and then immediately re-enters `0x0046f870` for the local
  apply. The neighboring name-match lane is now explicit too:
  selector-`0x61` body `0x00472700` scans `0x0062be10` for a company-name match against the caller
  string at `[payload+0x08]` and then either submits selector `0x62` with the original payload or
  falls back to the paired error-style `0x21` branch. The next registered band around selectors
  `0x1c..0x5d` is tighter now too. Selector-adjacent helpers `0x00470ed0` and `0x00470fa0`
  are the paired global preset passes beneath that strip: both walk the guarded named-profile
  table `0x006ceb9c`, add opposite signed integer presets into qword field `[profile+0x154]`
  through `0x00476050`, then walk `0x0062be10` and write opposite preset
  scalars into metric id `0x0d` through `0x0042a040`. Above them, selectors `0x1d`, `0x1f`,
  `0x21`, `0x23`, `0x25`, `0x27`, `0x29`, `0x2b`, `0x2d`, `0x2f`, `0x31`, `0x33`, `0x35`,
  `0x37`, and `0x39` are now explicit token-staging forwarders into selectors `0x1e`, `0x20`,
  `0x22`, `0x24`, `0x26`, `0x28`, `0x2a`, `0x2c`, `0x2e`, `0x30`, `0x32`, `0x34`, `0x36`,
  `0x38`, and `0x3a`. The next live-train strip is also grounded: selectors `0x3b`, `0x3d`,
  `0x3f`, `0x41`, and `0x43` resolve live train ids from `0x006cfcbc`, stage the current token,
  and republish into selectors `0x3c`, `0x3e`, `0x40`, `0x42`, and `0x44`; selectors `0x3c`,
  `0x3e`, and `0x40` then dispatch directly into `0x004abd70`, `0x004b2f00`, and `0x004b3000`,
  while selector `0x42` is the heavier train-adjunct branch through `0x004b2b70`,
  `0x004b3160`, `0x004b2c10`, `0x004a9460`, and `0x004ab980`. The prompt or bitmap cluster is
  tighter too: selector `0x48` consumes one 12-byte record, either marks the current-session bit
  directly or opens localized prompt `0x0b81` through `0x00469a50` and callback `0x004719c0`,
  and then republishes selector `0x49`; selector `0x49` turns that 12-byte result into one keyed
  bitset object and republishes selector `0x47`; selector `0x47` consumes the resulting ten-slot
  masks and drops straight into `0x004eb230` plus
  `shell_resolve_merger_vote_and_commit_outcome` `0x004ebd10`. The same pattern repeats one
  size smaller for selectors `0x4c`, `0x4d`, and `0x4b`: selector `0x4c` consumes one 10-byte
  record, either marks the current-session bit directly or opens localized prompt `0x0b82`
  through `0x00469a50` and callback `0x00471d50`, selector `0x4d` folds that 10-byte result into
  the keyed bitset object, and selector `0x4b` turns the resulting masks into one ten-dword cache
  setter at `0x0050c4e0` rooted at `0x006d1a08` plus the paired outcome resolver
  `0x0050c940`. The direct setter strip after that is explicit too: selector `0x4f` republishes
  selector `0x6f` when the live session object exists and dataset
  gate `0x006cd91c` is clear, selector `0x50` copies `[dataset+0x9058]` into `[dataset+0x9054]`,
  selector `0x51` derives one small session-status code and either republishes selector `0x52` or
  shell control `0x109`, selectors `0x55`, `0x56`, and `0x57` directly store dataset field
  `0x9860`, a `0x006ceb9c` inline name, and guard field `[entry+0x1e1]`, selector `0x58` flushes
  the deferred 16-slot named-profile clear queue `[dataset+0x9864..+0x9873]`, selector `0x59`
  derives one roster or capacity status and republishes selector `0x5a`, selector `0x5b` is
  another token-staging forwarder into selector `0x5c`, selector `0x5c` gates a
  `0x00493960` dispatch plus optional local `0x0046f870` apply, and selector `0x5d` validates
  one payload string before republishing selector `0x5e`. The next registered band around selectors
  `0x5e..0x7d` is tighter too. Selector `0x5e` updates the named-profile side table
  `0x006ceb9c`, mirrors the same string into the resolved live session object, and when the
  session-side guard is active hashes that string back into `[session+0x48]` and dataset field
  `[0x006cd8d8+0x8f48]`; selector `0x5f` then stages the current year-derived token and republishes
  into selector `0x60`, whose body writes one guarded byte field into the same `0x006ceb9c` entry
  family. The `0x62..0x64` strip forms the same kind of pair over `0x0062be10`: selector `0x62`
  copies one fixed `0x32`-byte band into the matched company entry, selector `0x63` rejects
  duplicate field-`0x37` values before forwarding, and selector `0x64` applies that same dword
  field directly into the matched entry or one live fallback owner. The receive-side correction is
  explicit now too: selector `0x6b` is the tiny local metric-apply wrapper
  `0x00472db0 -> 0x0046f870`, selector `0x6c` is the separate train-record wrapper
  `0x00472dc0 -> 0x0046d780`, selector `0x6d` formats localized status `0x0f4e` into the grounded
  world outcome-text buffer `[world+0x4b47]`, and selector `0x6e` walks the current keyed bucket
  under `[session+0x2580]` and marks the first matching companion record by payload hash. The
  later wrappers are cleaner too: selectors `0x71`, `0x73`, `0x75`, `0x77`, `0x79`, `0x7b`, and
  `0x7d` are all token-staging forwarders into selectors `0x72`, `0x74`, `0x76`, `0x78`, `0x7a`,
  `0x7c`, and `0x7e`. Beneath them, selector `0x72` is the heavier counted live-world apply path
  over `0x0062b2fc`, `0x0062b26c`, and `0x0062bae0`; selector `0x74` dispatches a resolved
  company-entry id into `0x0062b26c` under the small latch `0x006ce9a8`; selectors `0x76`,
  `0x7a`, and `0x7c` resolve one company-style entry and then tail into narrower local handlers;
  and selector `0x78` is the broader projection-or-notify body over `0x0044b160`, `0x00538e00`,
  and the local-session refresh strip. The next adjacent owner `0x0046e5c0` is broader but still
  belongs to the same structural neighborhood: in mode `1` it serializes a dual-collection metric
  blob from `0x0062be10` and `0x006ceb9c`, writing the two row counts into local header bytes and
  then packing one `0x24`-stride band plus one `0x2c`-stride band behind a `0x10`-byte header; the
  opposite branch starts validating and applying those packed metrics back into live entries. So
  that first named block is no longer just a string-name registry; it already includes a real typed
  static-record family beneath the preview dataset, and it now sits directly beside one broader
  fixed-record callback-successor strip. Right after the selector-`0x71` batch publisher, the local
  `0x005ce418` fixed-record family becomes explicit: `0x00473ce0` constructs one `0x187`-byte
  record from two copied strings, shell-profile bytes `[0x006cec78+0x0d/+0x0f/+0x11]`, owner field
  `[this+0x04]`, and monotonic sequence dword `[this+0x14]` seeded from `0x006cea48`;
  `0x00473dc0`, `0x00473e70`, `0x00473ee0`, and `0x00473f30` are the max-sequence, min-sequence,
  previous-sequence, and next-sequence queries over the same live collection; `0x00473e20` is the
  boolean scan for any inactive record with a nonzero owner dword; and `0x00473f80` is the real
  allocator or constructor owner, trimming the collection down to `0x19` entries, allocating one
  live record through `0x00518900`, and then dispatching the heavier constructor. So the callback
  registry now leads directly into a concrete preview-side fixed-record collection, not into
  another anonymous transport helper band. The broader snapshot/apply owner still sits over the
  same multiplayer collection state. In parallel,
  `multiplayer_register_session_event_callbacks` allocates and registers the separate session-event
  transport object at `0x006cd970`. The shell-side bridge into that deeper transport cadence is now
  tighter: `multiplayer_window_service_loop` and neighboring reset or initializer branches call
  `multiplayer_flush_session_event_transport`, which forces one status flush and then drops into
  `multiplayer_transport_flush_and_maybe_shutdown`. That wrapper in turn runs
  `multiplayer_transport_service_frame`, the recurring pump that services one worker step through
  `multiplayer_transport_service_worker_once`, sweeps the transport-owned callback tables and field
  caches through `multiplayer_transport_service_route_callback_tables`, services both the auxiliary
  status route and the current live route through
  `multiplayer_transport_service_status_and_live_routes`, and then descends one layer farther into
  the shared GameSpy route helper `multiplayer_gamespy_route_service_frame` at `0x58d040`. The
  transport also owns a separate selector-view sidecar beneath that route cadence.
  `multiplayer_transport_ensure_selector_view_store` allocates the keyed selector-view store at
  `[transport+0xab4]`, `multiplayer_transport_find_selector_view_entry_by_name` resolves entries
  from that store, `multiplayer_transport_upsert_selector_name_entry` marks per-slot activity and
  flags inside each entry, and `multiplayer_transport_mark_selector_slot_views_dirty` plus
  `multiplayer_transport_reset_selector_view_entry_runtime_state` manage the dirty or refresh fields
  at `+0xa0`, `+0xa4`, and `+0xa8`. That selector-view maintenance path is now split more cleanly
  too. The recurring owner is `multiplayer_transport_service_selector_view_refresh_cycle`, which
  first runs the fast deferred-probe lane:
  `multiplayer_transport_collect_refreshable_selector_view_entries` walks the store through
  `multiplayer_transport_filter_insert_refreshable_selector_view_entry`, which now shows that
  `[entry+0x64]` is not a generic flag bucket but the third selector-slot flag word, parallel to
  `[entry+0x5c]` and `[entry+0x60]`. In that collector, the `g` and `a` mode-letter bits produced by
  `multiplayer_transport_parse_selector_mode_letters` become mask `0x0c` in the slot-local flag
  words, and any third-slot entry carrying those bits at `[entry+0x64]` is excluded from the
  refreshable set. Eligible entries then pass slot-aware retry timing on `[entry+0x68]`,
  `[entry+0x6c]`, `[entry+0x78]`, and `[entry+0x7c]`, after which the service loop schedules refresh
  probes through `multiplayer_transport_schedule_selector_view_entry_refresh_probe`. That fast lane
  is narrower now too: the entry-side match key `[entry+0x50]` is no longer just an opaque request
  field. The profile-key callback lanes feed
  `multiplayer_transport_parse_selector_view_probe_marker`, which decodes one local `X%sX|%d` marker
  into a probe request id plus displayed version/build integer, and
  `multiplayer_transport_arm_selector_view_probe_tracking` stores those into `[entry+0x50]` and
  `[entry+0x54]` before arming the live probe gate at `[entry+0x58]`. The current-selector callback
  root at `0x59f8b0` is now bounded as well: it resolves and upserts the active selector name,
  optionally reuses a cached `username` marker to arm probe tracking immediately, then submits the
  same profile-key bundle with selector context and forwards that selector through callback slot
  `17`, with the status-route side able to force route-mode transitions `2 -> 3 -> 4` afterward. One
  layer lower, `multiplayer_transport_handle_profile_key_query_result` at `0x596970` now bounds the
  per-key result path itself. It treats `username` as the probe-marker field, `b_flags` as the
  selector mode-letter field, and `(END)` as a real sentinel that publishes a zeroed slot-`22`
  payload instead of a marker pair. The same helper also hashes the selector-name, key-name, and
  resolved value text back into the caller table, so the profile-key bundle now looks like a real
  bounded handoff rather than an anonymous callback cloud. The deferred callback shim
  `multiplayer_transport_dispatch_selector_view_refresh_probe_result` then walks the keyed store
  through `multiplayer_transport_finish_selector_view_refresh_probe_if_matching`, which only
  completes entries whose pending latch `[entry+0x74]` is still armed and whose parsed marker
  request id `[entry+0x50]` matches the finished request. A failed result `-1` clears the pending
  latch and increments the consecutive-failure counter at `[entry+0x7c]`. A nonfailure result clears
  the pending latch, increments the success generation at `[entry+0x78]` and total-success count
  `[entry+0x98]`, clears `[entry+0x7c]`, stamps the last-success tick at `[entry+0x6c]`, appends the
  returned sample into the short rolling history at `[entry+0x84..]`, grows the bounded sample-count
  `[entry+0x94]` up to four, computes the current average into `[entry+0x80]`, and then publishes
  that averaged `ms` sample through `multiplayer_transport_enqueue_callback_slot24_record`. So the
  publication boundary is explicit and the request-id ownership is explicit: `[entry+0x80]` now
  reads as the averaged millisecond probe sample and `[entry+0x54]` as the displayed version/build
  companion integer. The adjacent route-callback side is tighter too, but it is now kept separate:
  the staged route-callback path at `0x5958e0` and the later compatibility gate at
  `multiplayer_transport_route_binding_matches_route_callback_descriptor_tuple` `0x595d00` operate
  on a compact GameSpy-style server or route descriptor family with a primary endpoint tuple at
  `[descriptor+0x00]/[+0x04]`, an optional secondary endpoint tuple at `[descriptor+0x08]/[+0x0c]`,
  string-key lookups such as `hostname` and `gamever`, and numeric-key lookups such as
  `numplayers`, `numservers`, `numwaiting`, and `gsi_am_rating`. The route-binding side uses that
  descriptor family's primary dword and host-order port plus the optional secondary tuple against
  route-binding offsets `+0x54/+0x58` and route word `+0x30`. Current evidence still does not prove
  that descriptor tuple is the same field family as the selector-view marker companion integer at
  `[entry+0x54]`. The higher compact decode owners are tighter now too: `0x5907d0` is the
  allocate-and-append lane for one self-consistent compact payload, while `0x590d00` is the keyed
  upsert-by-primary-endpoint lane that reuses an existing descriptor when possible and then notifies
  the owner callback. The route-callback-table runtime above that decode side is tighter now too:
  `multiplayer_transport_route_callback_table_construct` `0x5905e0` seeds one transport-owned
  table block, `multiplayer_transport_route_callback_table_release_decoded_schema_dictionary`
  `0x5906f0` tears down the decoded schema dictionary rooted at `[this+0x08]`,
  `multiplayer_route_callback_runtime_acquire_shared_string_copy` `0x590540` and
  `multiplayer_route_callback_runtime_release_shared_string_copy` `0x5905a0` now bound the shared
  string pool used by that decoded schema, and the higher bring-up owner `0x596090` now clearly
  splits between `[transport+0xba4]` with owner callback `0x595a40`, the local field-cache family
  `[transport+0x1724]` seeded through `0x5a08f0/0x595b60`, and `[transport+0x1164]` with owner
  callback `0x595bc0`, while
  `multiplayer_transport_route_callback_table_service_receive_decode_state_machine` `0x5908c0`
  is the current live receive/decode state machine serviced by `0x591290` in table states `2/3`.
  The callback-owner mode split above that runtime is now explicit too: append-notify `0x590370`
  publishes mode `0`, compact upsert `0x590d00` publishes mode `1`, remove-notify `0x590430`
  publishes mode `2`, and the live receive/decode path `0x5908c0` publishes modes `6`, `5`, and
  `3`.
  The route-handle lifecycle above that decode path is tighter now too: `0x590740` cleanly resets
  one table's live route plus decode-side runtime without destroying the outer object; `0x5907a0`
  is the broader destroy path that also releases the active descriptor collection; `0x590ed0`
  opens the live route handle into `[this+0x4a0]`, stages the initial outbound request, and seeds
  state `3` plus the staged receive buffer; `0x5911e0` is the state-`2/3` socket-service wrapper
  that reads new bytes, grows the staged buffer, and re-enters `0x5908c0`; `0x5912c0` is the
  one-shot send-with-reopen-retry helper; and `0x590ea0` is the shared disconnect publication and
  reset tail. The recurring service helper `0x591290` is tighter too: it now first clears the
  staged intrusive descriptor list through `0x590490` before entering the state-driven seed-or-
  receive branch. The upstream owners are tighter too: `0x5962e0` is now the field-subscription
  route-table opener above `[transport+0xba4]`, while `0x596530` is the `gsi_am_rating` reopen
  path above `[transport+0x18bc]`. On that latter branch, `0x590dc0` is now bounded as the
  state-`0` raw-endpoint seed pass over the live route handle, repeatedly pulling endpoint tuples
  through `0x58bc7e` record type `0x1f3` before stamping descriptor flag byte `0x15` with `0x11`.
  That makes the remaining source-flag meaning narrower too: current evidence now supports reading
  byte-`0x15` bit `0x1` as a primary-endpoint-seed or endpoint-only marker. In the `gsi_am_rating`
  dispatcher, clear-bit descriptors can take the richer direct transition lane, while set-bit
  descriptors are staged through the queued enrichment path and still suppress that direct
  transition even after the ready bit arrives.
  The adjacent capacity-descriptor side is tighter too: `0x595bc0` now clearly publishes a
  descriptor block from live descriptor properties `hostname`, `numwaiting`, `maxwaiting`,
  `numservers`, and `numplayers` plus three carried sidecar scalars. That sidecar at
  `[transport+0x1778]` is tighter now too: current evidence says it behaves as one cached pointer
  into the transient work-record family at `[transport+0x1780]`, because every meaningful branch
  in `0x595bc0` reads the same `+0x0c/+0x10/+0x18` metadata triplet and replay modes later consume
  the pointer through `0x5933a0`. The negative result is stronger too: local text-side xrefs still
  show no direct store to `[transport+0x1778]`, and a wider local sweep also failed to show any
  obvious `lea`-based replay-band writer. The transient-request lifecycle tightens that further:
  `0x593330/0x593370/0x593380/0x5934e0/0x5933a0` now fully bound `[transport+0x1780]`, `0x1784`,
  and `0x1788` without ever touching `[transport+0x1778]`, and the neighboring active-opcode reset
  helper `0x5929a0` is likewise scoped only to `[transport+0x17fc]`. A broader constructor and
  teardown pass tightened that further too: `0x596090`, `0x5961b0`, and `0x5962e0` all touch the
  neighboring replay-band fields without ever seeding `[transport+0x1778]`. A full-binary
  literal-offset sweep tightens it further still: the only direct `0x1778` hit in `RT3.exe` is
  the read in `0x595bc0`. One nearby ambiguity is now closed too: the
  mode-`5` mirror path in `0x595a40` and `0x595e10` does not target `[transport+0x1778]`; it
  writes `[transport+0x54]` and mirrors the same staged route companion dword only into queue-side
  slot `[transport+0x1724+0x24]` through `0x005a0940`. So the sidecar writer remains upstream of this
  leaf publisher. Mode `0` is now also tied more cleanly to the generic descriptor append-notify lane
  at `0x590370`, while mode `2` stays outside this helper as the separate
  remove-notify-and-stage path at `0x590430`. The opcode-`2` payload boundary is tighter too:
  `0x592ae0` now grounds that payload
  as a seven-dword block with an owned string slot at `+0x08`, so live mode supplies a populated
  payload while modes `3` and `5` deliberately enqueue an all-zero payload and reuse only
  the wrapper-side sidecar metadata. Those two modes are tighter now too: they are the live
  receive-state owner callbacks emitted by `0x5911e0 -> 0x5908c0`, not loose generic replay
  guesses. So those paths are better read as delayed metadata replays over one cached work record,
  not over a separate anonymous cache blob. The neighboring
  capacity-owner split is tighter now too: `0x595bc0` only stages descriptor records for modes
  `0`, `3`, and `5`; the upstream route-callback-table owner still delivers modes `1`, `2`, and
  `6`, but those are explicit no-ops in this capacity leaf. So the owner wiring itself is no
  longer the open edge; only the upstream sidecar producer remains unresolved. The neighboring
  work queue is tighter too: `0x593330/0x593370/0x593380` now bound `[transport+0x1780]` as the
  construct/clear/destroy owner family, while `0x5933a0`, `0x5934e0`, and `0x593570` ground the
  remove, allocate, and completion side over that same collection. The small sibling `0x593400` is
  tighter too: it is a pure work-record uniqueness predicate over field `+0x0c`. Its caller is
  tighter now too: `0x58d720` is an immediate-drain quiescence gate over one transport context id,
  using `0x593400` for the queued work family at `[transport+0x1780]` and `0x592970` for the
  active opcode-record collection at `[transport+0x17fc]`. The strongest current read is that
  `0x5934c0` seeds that shared drain context id first, then the transport copies it into queued
  work field `+0x0c` and active opcode-record field `+0x14` before the immediate-drain roots wait
  on one shared disappearance test rather than on a vague settle loop. The currently grounded
  roots are `0x58df20`, the neighboring formatted selector-text publish path at `0x58dfb0`, and
  callback-table registration at `0x58e200`. The active-opcode side is tighter too: `0x5927b0`
  now bounds the per-record service-and-retire path, `0x592800` the wider context-or-idle sweep,
  `0x5929a0` the remove-by-opcode-type sweep, and `0x5929f0` the narrower opcode-`3`
  field-snapshot removal keyed by the subscribed callback-pair payload. That also corrects
  `0x595b80`, whose final cleanup is an active field-snapshot purge rather than a queued-work
  drain. The adjacent route-callback descriptor-table lifecycle is tighter too: `0x590410` now
  grounds `[table+0x5bc]` as the staged intrusive descriptor-list head, `0x590430` is the generic
  remove-notify-and-stage lane, `0x590490` releases the staged list, and `0x5904d0` releases the
  active descriptor collection before tearing that staged list down. That also makes the earlier
  `0x5962e0` “release active descriptors” step explicit. The callback-table attach side now constrains the
  same work-record metadata family a little further too: `0x593650` deliberately duplicates its
  first caller metadata dword into both fields `+0x0c` and `+0x10`, while carrying the second
  caller metadata dword in `+0x18`. The lower opcode wrappers are tighter now too: `0x592a40`
  turned out to be the explicit opcode-`1` trigger wrapper whose constructor is a no-op and whose
  active-side service is `0x5913c0`, while `0x592c40` is the real `0x08`-byte explicit opcode-`5`
  binding leaf. The earlier opcode-`4` read was just the table-indexing mistake in `0x5928a0`:
  selector `4` lands on the row at `0x5e2044`, not the row at `0x5e2034`. The producer side is tighter too:
  bound-route requests, selector-text route requests, and the type-`9` text fastpath also stage
  that same triplet through `0x5934e0`, and the fastpath shim `0x593d00` now gives the cleanest
  proof of the callback split by only re-emitting the follow-on lane when `+0x10` is nonnull and
  then forwarding `(+0x10, +0x18, +0x0c)` into `0x593170` as callback function, callback
  companion, and trailing drain context. So the replay-side triplet is clearly a broader
  transport callback-wrapper family, not one fixed route-only tuple. The nearby
  field-subscription side is tighter too: `0x592b50` now clearly uses `[transport+0x1774]` as a
  cached progress percentage under `[transport+0xba4]`, and `0x5962e0` seeds that percentage to
  `1` just before the first immediate mode-`3` snapshot. The nearby route-callback-table
  lifecycle is tighter now too: `0x596090` seeds `[transport+0xba0]` as the callback-plumbing
  enable latch, clears staged payload slot `[transport+0xb50]`, and constructs the three owner
  branches rooted at `[transport+0xba4]`, `[transport+0x1164]`, and `[transport+0x18bc]`;
  `0x596210` is the recurring service sweep over those same three tables plus the local field
  cache and queued-descriptor family; `0x596060` is the explicit `gsi_am_rating` reset; and
  `0x596530` is the reopen-from-stored-label sibling above that same am-rating table. The
  matching local cleanup is tighter too: `0x5962c0` is the explicit staged route-callback payload
  clear on `[transport+0xb50]`, while `0x595ce0` now clearly resets only the capacity-descriptor
  route callback table at `[transport+0x1164]`, not the field-subscription table at
  `[transport+0xba4]`. The remaining gap on the capacity side is therefore narrower: the carried
  sidecar fields themselves now read more cleanly as the cached callback-wrapper triplet reused
  elsewhere (`drain context id +0x0c`, `callback fn +0x10`, `callback companion +0x18`), and the
  negative result is stronger too: nearby replay-band fields `[transport+0x176c]`,
  `[transport+0x1770]`, `[transport+0x1774]`, `[transport+0x177c]`, `[transport+0x1780]`, and
  `[transport+0x1784]` all have direct local owners while `[transport+0x1778]` still appears only
  as the single read in `0x595bc0`; even the broader callback-owner lifecycle now skips it while
  seeding, servicing, resetting, reopening, or tearing down those neighboring tables and caches.
  The constructor now closes that local search further: `0x58dc50` bulk-zeroes the full transport
  body and still never writes a nonzero value into `[transport+0x1778]` before later explicit
  neighbor initialization. The callback-binding owner stack now tightens that boundary too:
  `0x5934e0` stages the shared work-record metadata triplet, `0x593650` binds it into the
  callback-table worker path, and `0x593570` later consumes and republishes it, while
  `[transport+0x1778]` still appears only as the borrowed sidecar read in `0x595bc0`. So this
  edge is now locally closed, and the remaining producer looks like an upstream callback or worker
  handoff rather than one missing ordinary field store in the local cluster. The adjacent staged-route
  callback side is tighter too: `0x595860` is now bounded as the
  submit-result handler beneath `0x5958e0`, and the old `[transport+0xac0]` ambiguity there is now
  gone. That branch is using the already-grounded third selector-generation counter at `[0xac0]`
  together with target `[0xb48]` to decide whether staged route-callback traffic can push the
  multiplayer route-mode ladder from `2` into `3` and later `4`. The selector-view counter beneath
  that gate is tighter now too: `0x594e30` counts slot-`2` entries whose flag dword carries bit
  `0x20`, optionally filtered by the current transport name buffer. The selector-view mutation
  family under that same lane is tighter too: `0x594a30` is now the direct keyed-store remover,
  `0x594fb0` clears one selector-slot ownership pointer plus its slot-local flag dword and drops
  the whole entry when no slots remain, `0x595010` rekeys one selector-view entry under a new name
  while preserving the `0x40..` runtime band, and callback root `0x59f9c0` now reads as the
  sibling lane that clears one named selector-view slot, publishes callback slot `18`, and may
  still re-enter the route-mode setter from the same slot-`2` status and generation gates. The
  neighboring callback roots are tighter now too: `0x5950a0` clears one selector slot from every
  selector-view entry in the keyed store, `0x59fab0` is the rename or relabel sibling above
  `0x595010`, `0x59faf0` updates one selector slot's fixed sample-text buffer and refreshes the
  active selector object when present, and `0x59fb60` replaces one selector slot's name set,
  requests the default profile-key bundle for that slot, and publishes callback slot `20`. Slot
  `16` is tighter now too: current grounded caller `0x59f440` forwards the staged route-callback
  payload handle from `[transport+0xb50]` through `0x592ea0` just before route mode `5`. The
  last adjacent callback root in that block is tighter now too: `0x59fbd0` is the built-in
  per-slot profile-key query sibling. It resolves the caller selector name into one slot index,
  forwards the caller trio into `0x596b90`, and then publishes callback slot `28`; that lower
  helper indexes one slot-specific built-in string pair from `[transport+0x189c]` and
  `[transport+0x18ac]`, reuses the generic per-key handler `0x596970`, and only republishes slot
  `28` when that lower query path succeeds.
  The compact-header side is tighter now too: `0x58fe20` and `0x58ff20` now show that compact
  payloads always carry the primary IPv4 dword and that header bit `0x10` only gates whether the
  primary port word is inline or inherited from the owner default port. `0x58fe90` now validates
  the `0x40` inline keyed-property vector against the owner schema, and `0x58fe50` validates the
  signed-`0x80` trailing string-pair tail before decode. `0x58ff60` then grounds bit `0x02` as
  the inline secondary IPv4 dword branch, bit `0x20` as the paired secondary-port word branch with
  owner-port fallback, bit `0x08` as one still-unresolved auxiliary dword stored at
  `[descriptor+0x10]`, bit `0x40` as one inline keyed-property vector decoded through the
  property-store writers, and signed bit `0x80` as one trailing string-pair tail. The
  descriptor-state side is tighter now too: the shared queue helper at
  `0x005a09a0` stamps pending state `0x4` for the local field-cache family `[transport+0x1724]`
  and pending state `0x8` for the `gsi_am_rating` queued-descriptor family `[transport+0x1e7c]`,
  while later service through `0x005a0c80` promotes those pending tags into ready bits `0x1` and
  `0x2` in descriptor byte `[entry+0x14]`. That makes the current transport-side tests cleaner:
  `0x58d1c0` is the field-cache ready gate, `0x58d1d0` is the `gsi_am_rating` queued-descriptor
  ready gate, and `0x58d230` is the remaining flag-byte split between direct primary-endpoint
  handling at `[transport+0x18bc]` and the queued path at `[transport+0x1e7c]`. That byte-`0x14`
  story is no longer queue-only either: `0x58ff60` can also OR in bit `0x1` after the inline
  keyed-property vector and bit `0x2` after the signed string-pair tail. The flag-byte split is no
  longer purely behavioral either: current evidence now says byte `[descriptor+0x15]` bit `0x1` is
  a source-side descriptor header bit, explicitly seeded during the primary-endpoint table refresh
  around `0x590dc0` and preserved by the compact descriptor decode path at `0x58ff60`, rather than
  a queue-generated runtime state. The `gsi_am_rating` dispatcher side is tighter too: that same
  bit no longer just looks like a direct-versus-queued routing split, because `0x595e10` also uses
  it to suppress the direct `0x595dc0` transition even after queued ready bit `0x2` is present.
  The descriptor body is tighter too: `[descriptor+0x20]` is now the intrusive next-link used by
  the transport-owned primary-endpoint list headed at `[table+0x5bc]`, and `[descriptor+0x1c]` is
  now the special numeric scalar behind the current `queryid`/`ping` fallback pair. The compact-only
  auxiliary dword at `[descriptor+0x10]` is tighter in a negative way too: local xref scans now
  only show it being preserved by later generic helpers like
  `generic_record_0x1c_deep_copy_with_owned_string_at_0x08` `0x591410` and the adjacent
  callback-marshaling wrappers `0x591480` and `0x591510`, not read through any dedicated semantic
  accessor yet. The route-event dispatcher side is tighter too: the mode-`5` tails in both
  callback families do not copy a descriptor-local field but instead mirror the transport-staged
  companion dword at `[this+0x490]` into `[this+0x54]` and queue-side slot `[this+0x1724+0x24]`. The
  `gsi_am_rating` maintenance lane is tighter now too: after pruning failed descriptors it sorts
  the surviving primary-endpoint table through `0x590310` in mode `1` with key `gsi_am_rating`,
  then selects the new head through `0x590480` before re-entering the route-transition path. The
  same service loop also owns a slower sidecar lane keyed off `[entry+0xa4]`:
  `multiplayer_transport_select_stale_selector_view_progress_entry` walks the store through
  `multiplayer_transport_pick_stale_selector_view_progress_entry`, picks one stale entry whose
  progress latch `[entry+0x9c]` is clear and whose last progress tick `[entry+0x70]` is old enough,
  and then hands it to `multiplayer_transport_stage_selector_view_progress_snapshot`. That helper
  now looks more bounded too: it rebuilds the core `X%sX` marker text from `[entry+0x50]` through
  `multiplayer_transport_format_selector_view_probe_marker_core`, formats one `PNG %s %d` line
  around that marker and the entry-local averaged millisecond sample at `[entry+0x80]`, appends bounded
  selector-slot `PNG` fragments for live overlapping slots, marks progress-snapshot state in flight
  at `[entry+0x9c]`, and stamps both `[entry+0x70]` and the transport-wide throttle tick
  `[transport+0xaec]`. So the selector-view sidecar no longer looks like one undifferentiated
  refresh bucket: it has a faster deferred-probe lane plus a slower progress-snapshot lane, both
  still under the shell-owned multiplayer transport cadence. The two descriptor lanes installed by
  `multiplayer_transport_attach_callback_table_descriptor` are now tighter too. The first lane
  rooted at `0x59f5c0` can arm deferred-close state on the owner transport and then forward through
  callback slot `23`. The second lane is no longer just a loose selector-view bucket:
  `multiplayer_transport_callback_dispatch_selector_name_payload_lane` at `0x59f650` classifies
  selector payloads through `multiplayer_transport_is_selector_control_line`, routes `@@@NFO`
  control lines into `multiplayer_transport_sync_selector_view_nfo_r_flag`, and otherwise publishes
  either callback slot `13` or the split token-plus-tail callback slot `14` through
  `multiplayer_transport_split_selector_payload_token_and_tail`. That local `@@@NFO` helper is now
  bounded more tightly too: it only accepts lines ending in the literal `X\` tail, searches for the
  field marker `\$flags$\`, and then sets or clears bit `0x2` in the third selector-slot flag word
  at `[entry+0x64]` depending on whether that field contains the letter `r` before the next
  backslash. The sibling `multiplayer_transport_callback_dispatch_current_selector_payload_lane` at
  `0x59f720` first resolves the active selector through `0x5951a0`, then handles the
  current-selector variants of the same control vocabulary: `@@@NFO` continues into the same local
  `r`-flag sync helper, `@@@GML` plus mode-`3/4` payloads feed the shared control-token helper
  `multiplayer_transport_handle_gml_or_png_selector_control`, and the remaining non-control payloads
  publish callback slot `9`. That shared helper now narrows the `GML` and `PNG` split materially:
  when the token is `GML` and the tail is `Disconnected`, it requires the active selector-view entry
  to pass `multiplayer_transport_selector_view_entry_has_gml_disconnect_gate`, which currently means
  the entry participates in the third selector slot and has bit `0x20` set in `[entry+0x64]`, before
  it forces one status-pump pass, emits callback slot `16`, and re-enters route mode `5`. Its
  sibling `PNG` branch resolves a named selector-view entry from the tail text and, when that entry
  overlaps the active selector-slot ownership, refreshes selector-view runtime state through
  `0x5948f0` and republishes callback slot `25`. Alongside those dispatchers, one grounded branch at
  `0x59f560` still updates selector-view runtime state through `0x5948f0` and forwards the same
  selector-name pair through callback slot `25`, while `0x59f850` resets selector text state through
  `0x5954b0`, forwards through callback slot `19`, and when selector `2` is active in a nonterminal
  route mode re-enters `multiplayer_transport_set_route_mode` with mode `1`. The low-level route
  helper still looks like a two-part cycle:
  `multiplayer_gamespy_route_service_retry_and_keepalive_timers` handles challenge or retry pressure
  and periodic outbound control traffic around the `master.gamespy.com`, `PING`, `natneg`,
  `localport`, `localip%d`, and `statechanged` strings, while
  `multiplayer_gamespy_route_drain_inbound_packets` drains inbound datagrams and dispatches
  semicolon lines, backslash-delimited key bundles, and `0xfe 0xfd` GameSpy control packets. The
  transport-owned callback story is now narrower too. The shared route constructor
  `multiplayer_gamespy_route_construct_and_seed_callback_vector` seeds `[route+0x88]` through
  `[route+0x9c]` from the caller-supplied transport callback table, records the owner transport at
  `[route+0x104]`, and explicitly zeroes `[route+0xa0]`, `[route+0xa4]`, and `[route+0xd4]` before
  any later patch-up. For the transport-owned status route,
  `multiplayer_transport_try_connect_status_route` then patches `[route+0xa0]` through
  `multiplayer_gamespy_route_set_extended_payload_callback` to point at
  `multiplayer_transport_forward_validated_extended_route_payload` `0x00597330`, which simply
  forwards the validated payload wrapper into the owner callback at `[transport+0x17f4]` with
  context `[transport+0x17f8]`. The grounded live-route connect path at
  `multiplayer_transport_try_connect_live_route` does not currently perform any matching
  post-construction patch for `[route+0xa0]`, `[route+0xa4]`, or `[route+0xd4]`, and the higher
  route-mode state machine now looks consistent with that: `multiplayer_transport_set_route_mode`
  latches the requested small mode at `[this+0x18b8]`, then uses mode `0` for the direct-versus
  queued `gsi_am_rating` split, mode `1` for the ready-bit plus queued fallback, mode `2` for
  pending-descriptor cleanup, mode `3` for the empty-table fallback, mode `4` for deferred
  route-status recovery, and mode `5` for copying the staged route companion dword into `[this+0x54]`
  and queue-side slot `[this+0x1724+0x24]`. The current grounded mode transitions still switch by releasing route
  objects through `multiplayer_gamespy_route_release_and_free` and rebuilding them through
  `multiplayer_transport_try_connect_live_route`, not by mutating callback slots in place. The
  parser behavior is now tighter as well: semicolon lines only dispatch when
  `[route+0xd4]` is non-null, and the subtype-`6` raw fallback only dispatches when `[route+0xa4]`
  is non-null. For the currently grounded transport-owned status and live routes, those two branches
  therefore remain optional and can cleanly no-op instead of implying a hidden mandatory callback
  path. Inside the packet parser, subtype `4` is no longer an unknown callback hop: after cookie
  validation it dispatches through `[route+0x9c]`, which the transport-owned status and live routes
  seed to `multiplayer_transport_handle_validated_route_cookie_event` `0x005972c0`. That helper
  either marks route progress and re-enters `multiplayer_transport_set_route_mode`, or forwards the
  event id plus payload into the owner callback at `[transport+0x17f0]` with context
  `[transport+0x17f8]`. The surrounding status-route callback vector is tighter now too:
  `0x005970e0` publishes either the active selector text or the averaged probe sample at
  `[entry+0x80]` and otherwise falls back to owner callback `[transport+0x17e0]`;
  `0x00597180` is a straight owner-forwarding lane through `[transport+0x17e4]`;
  `0x005971b0` seeds the local status-control id list and can then notify owner callback
  `[transport+0x17e8]`; and `0x00597270` returns the third selector-slot generation counter
  `[transport+0xac0]` on its bounded local branch before falling back to owner callback
  `[transport+0x17ec]`. Subtype `6` still validates the same cookie, dedupes one 32-bit cookie or
  packet id, and then dispatches the trailing payload through the natneg-or-raw callback layer
  rooted at `[route+0xa0]` and `[route+0xa4]`. This separates the shell-frame preview refresh at
  `0x006cd8d8` from the actual transport cadence at `0x006cd970`, and also separates that transport
  cadence from the lower GameSpy route-service and packet-parser layer beneath it.
- Evidence: `function-map.csv`, `pending-template-store-management.md`,
  `pending-template-store-functions.csv`, plus objdump caller traces showing
  `multiplayer_window_service_loop` reaching `multiplayer_flush_session_event_transport` and the
  transport pump chain `multiplayer_flush_session_event_transport ->
  multiplayer_transport_flush_and_maybe_shutdown -> multiplayer_transport_service_frame ->
  multiplayer_transport_service_worker_once -> multiplayer_transport_drain_request_text_queue`.
- Open Questions: unresolved request-id semantics for `1`, `2`, `4`, and `7`; whether any
  non-mode-path helper outside the currently grounded release-and-rebuild flow ever patches
  `[route+0xa4]` and `[route+0xd4]` for the transport-owned status/live routes, or whether those
  packet families are simply unused in this stack; and how far the Multiplayer preview-dataset
  machinery is reused outside `Multiplayer.win` beyond the currently grounded `.gmt` save-mode hook.
