# Rehost Queue

Working rule:

- Do not stop after commits.
- After each commit, check this queue and continue.
- Only stop if the queue is empty, you hit a real blocker, or you need approval.
- Before any final response, state which stop condition is true. If none is true, continue.

## Next

- Reconstruct the save-side region record body on top of the newly corrected non-direct tagged
  region seam (`0x5209/0x520a/0x520b`, stride hint `0x06`, `Marker09` record stems), especially
  the pending bonus lane `[region+0x276]`, completion latch `[region+0x302]`, one-shot notice
  latch `[region+0x316]`, severity/source lane `[region+0x25e]`, and any stable region-id or
  class discriminator that can drive shellless city-connection service.
- Reconstruct the save-side placed-structure collection body on top of the newly grounded
  `0x36b1/0x36b2/0x36b3` header seam so the blocked city-connection / linked-transit branch can
  stop depending on atlas-only placed-structure and local-runtime refresh notes.
- Extend shellless clock advancement so more periodic-company service branches consume owned
  runtime time state directly instead of only the explicit periodic service command.
- Keep widening selected-year world-owner state only when a full owning reader/rebuild family is
  grounded strongly enough to avoid one-off leaf guesses.

## In Progress

- Widen shellless simulation from explicit service commands toward “advance the runtime clock and
  the simulation-owned services advance with it.”

## Queued

- Rehost additional periodic finance/service branches that still depend on frozen world restore
  fields instead of advanced runtime-owned time state.
- Reduce remaining company/chairman save-native gaps that still block standalone simulation
  quality, especially controller-kind closure and any deeper finance/state fields that still rely
  on conservative defaults.
- Rehost bounded live economy owner state beyond selector/catalog/override surfaces when a
  concrete non-shell-owned seam is grounded.
- Keep tightening shell-owned parity families only when that directly supports later rehosting.

## Blocked

- Full shell/dialog ownership remains intentionally out of scope.
- Any candidate slice that requires guessing rather than rehosting owning state or real
  reader/setter families stays blocked until a better owner seam is grounded.
- The city-connection announcement / linked-transit roster-maintenance branch is still blocked at
  the record-body level, not the collection-identity level: the runtime now has a corrected
  non-direct tagged region seam, a tagged train header-plus-directory seam, and a tagged
  placed-structure header seam, but it does not yet reconstruct the live region or
  placed-structure record bodies those service owners need.

## Recently Done

- Save inspection now splits the shared `0x5209/0x520a/0x520b` family correctly: the smaller
  direct `0x1d5` collection is the live train family and now exposes a live-entry directory rooted
  at metadata dword `16`, while the actual region family is the larger non-direct `Marker09`
  collection with live_id/count `0x96/0x91`; the tagged placed-structure header
  (`0x36b1/0x36b2/0x36b3`) remains grounded alongside them.
- Stepped calendar progression now also refreshes save-world owner time fields, including packed
  year, packed tuple words, absolute counter, and the derived selected-year gap scalar.
- Automatic year-rollover calendar stepping now invokes periodic-boundary service.
- Save-native world locomotive policy owner state now flows through runtime restore state,
  summaries, and keyed world-flag execution for the grounded `All Steam/Diesel/Electric Locos
  Avail.` descriptor strip plus the cached available-locomotive rating.
- The selected-year bucket ladder rooted in `0x00433bd0` is now checked in as a static artifact,
  and runtime restore state now derives both the selected-year bucket scalar and the
  `[world+0x0bde]` economic-tuning mirror from owner-family inputs instead of preserving stale
  load-time residue.
- That same selected-year owner family now also rebuilds the direct bucket trio
  `[world+0x65/+0x69/+0x6d]`, the complement trio `[world+0x71/+0x75/+0x79]`, and the scaled
  companion trio `[world+0x7d/+0x81/+0x85]` from the checked-in `0x00433bd0` artifact instead of
  preserving stale save-time residue.
- The save-native company direct-record seam now also carries the full outer periodic-company
  side-latch trio rooted at `0x0d17/0x0d18/0x0d56`, including the preferred-locomotive
  engine-type chooser byte beside the city-connection and linked-transit finance gates.
- That same side-latch trio now also has a runtime-owned service-state map and summary surface,
  so later periodic company-service work can stop reading those lanes directly from imported
  market/cache residue.
- The periodic-boundary owner now also clears the transient preferred-locomotive side latch every
  cycle and reseeds the finance latches from market state where present, while preserving
  side-latch-only company context when no market projection exists.
- The outer periodic-company seam now also has a first-class runtime reader:
  selected-company summaries and finance readers can resolve the base `[world+0x4c74]`
  route-preference byte, the effective electric-only override fed by `0x0d17`, and the matching
  `1.4x` versus `1.8x` route-quality multiplier through owned periodic-service state instead of
  leaving that bridge in atlas notes.
- That same periodic-company seam now also owns a first-class route-preference apply/restore
  mutation lane: runtime service state tracks the active and last electric override, beginning the
  override rewrites `[world+0x4c74]` to the effective route preference for the selected company
  service pass, and ending the override restores the base world byte instead of leaving the seam as
  a pure reader bridge.
- The same route-preference mutation seam now also carries explicit apply/restore service counters
  through runtime service state and summaries, so later periodic-company branches can assert that
  override activity happened even before the missing city-connection / linked-transit service
  owners are fully rehosted.
- Company cash, confiscation, and major governance effects now write through owner state instead of
  drifting from market/cache readers.
- Company credit rating, prime rate, book value per share, investor confidence, and management
  attitude now refresh from grounded owner-state readers.
- Annual finance service persists structured news events and grounded debt/share flow totals.
