Rehost Queue

Working rule:

• Do not stop after commits.
• After each commit, check this queue and continue.
• Only stop if the queue is empty, the remaining work cannot be advanced by any further non-hook work without guessing, or you need approval.
• Before any final response, state which stop condition is true. If none is true, continue.

Next

• Treat the periodic-company trace as the main shellless simulation frontier now that the infrastructure footer-bit residue is layout/presentation-owned. The checked-in runtime inspect-periodic-company-service-trace <save.gms> report now exposes concrete branch owners instead of generic blockers:

  • industry_acquisition_side_branch carries 0x004019e0 -> 0x004014b0 with the city-connection sibling 0x00406050
  • city_connection_announcement carries 0x004019e0 -> 0x00406050 plus peer helpers 0x00420030 / 0x00420280 / 0x0047efe0
  • linked_transit_roster_maintenance carries 0x004019e0 -> 0x00409720 -> 0x004093d0 / 0x00407bd0 -> 0x00408f70 -> 0x00409950
  • the linked-transit timing seam is now grounded save-side too: [company+0x0d3e] is the shorter peer-cache refresh counter, [company+0x0d3a] is the heavier autoroute site-score refresh counter, and the route-anchor tuple [company+0x0d35] / [company+0x7664/+0x7668/+0x766c] remains save-native
  • the train-side follow-ons are bounded too: 0x00408280 / 0x00408380 are the ranked-site chooser and staged autoroute-entry builder above the rebuilt site caches, and 0x00409770 / 0x00409830 / 0x00409950 are the append/add/balance strip above that
  • the chooser-local cache words are bounded too: [site+0x5c1] is a live occupancy/count lane reset by 0x00481910 and adjusted by 0x004819b0, with counts sourced from current-site-id resolver 0x004a9340; meanwhile [site+0x5c5] is a world-counter age lane stamped at 0x004aee2b
  • the per-company cache root is bounded too: [site+0x5bd] is allocated by 0x00407780 as a 0x20-entry table of 0x1a-byte per-company cache cells and freed by 0x004077e0
  • the per-company cache-cell layout is bounded too: bytes +0x00/+0x01 gate participation, dwords +0x02/+0x06/+0x0a hold peer count, peer pointer, and peer-cache refresh stamp, and floats +0x0e/+0x12/+0x16 are the weighted/raw/final score lanes
  • the persisted-vs-live split is tighter now too: the minimal save-backed identity set is [site+0x276], [site+0x04], [site+0x2a4], [site+0x2a8], [peer+0x04/+0x08], [company+0x0d35/+0x0d56/+0x7664/+0x7668/+0x766c], and world calendar lanes [world+0x15/+0x0d], while the actual cache contents at [site+0x5bd], [site+0x5c1/+0x5c5], and [site+0x0e/+0x12/+0x16] are live rebuilt scratch lanes under 0x004093d0 / 0x00407bd0 / 0x00481910 / 0x004819b0 / 0x004aee2b
  • the upstream live-table owners are tighter now too: active-company refresh owner 0x00429c10 walks the live company roster and re-enters 0x004093d0; candidate table root 0x0062ba8c is world-load owned by 0x0041f4e0 -> 0x0041ede0 -> 0x0041e970; and route-entry tracker compatibility / chooser helpers 0x004a6360 / 0x004a6630 already sit under owner-notify refresh 0x00494fb0
  • the placed-structure replay strip is tighter now too: 0x00444690 -> 0x004133b0 -> 0x0040ee10 -> 0x0040edf6 -> 0x00480710 already republishes anchor-side linked-peer ids, route-entry anchors, and world-cell owner chains, and later runtime path 0x004160aa -> 0x0040ee10 re-enters the same family outside bring-up
  • the subtype-4 follow-on is tighter now too: 0x0040eba0 already republishes [site+0x2a4] through 0x004814c0 / 0x00481480 plus world-cell chain helpers 0x0042c9f0 / 0x0042c9a0, so self-id replay is no longer the open linked-transit blocker
  • the owner-company branch is tighter now too: direct inspection of 0x0040ea96..0x0040eb65 shows that it consumes [site+0x276] and branches through owner/company helpers, but does not itself rehydrate [site+0x276]
  • that makes the next linked-transit question narrower: identify which earlier restore or service owner feeds [site+0x276] and the live linked-peer rows before replay continuation 0x0040e360..0x0040edf6, beyond the already-grounded 0x00480710 anchor-side refresh, before 0x004093d0 / 0x00407bd0 / 0x004a6630, because the candidate table, route-entry-tracker owners, replay-strip framing, subtype-4 self-id replay, bounded train-side strip 0x00409770 / 0x00409830 / 0x00409950, and cache-cell semantics are no longer the blocker

• Make the next static/rehost slice the near-city industry acquisition owner seam under 0x004014b0, not another generic infrastructure pass. The concrete questions are:

  • which minimum persisted peer-site fields on the already-grounded 0x006cec20 placed-structure collection feed near-city unowned-industry candidates
  • which placed-structure, city-or-region, and company linkage survives save/load strongly enough to drive the proximity scan
  • whether the acquisition branch can be rehosted as a shellless sibling beside the already grounded annual-finance helper

• Direct disassembly now narrows that acquisition strip further:

  • 0x004014b0 scans the live placed-structure collection at 0x0062b26c
  • 0x0041f6e0 -> 0x0042b2d0 is the center-cell token gate over the current region
  • 0x0047de00 -> 0x0040c990 is the linked-region status branch reused from the city-connection helper strip
  • 0x004801a0 is the route-anchor reachability gate for one candidate site through 0x00401860 -> 0x0048e3c0
  • the company-side half of that gate is now explicit too: 0x00401860 validates or rebuilds the cached linked-transit route-anchor entry id [company+0x0d35] from the live route-entry collection using fallback count lanes [company+0x7664/+0x7668/+0x766c]
  • those four company lanes are now threaded into save-native company market state, so the route-anchor side of the acquisition gate is no longer just a trace-only blocker
  • 0x0040d360 is the subtype-4 predicate over the current placed-structure subject's candidate byte [candidate+0x32]
  • 0x0040d540 scores site/company proximity with pending-bonus context
  • 0x0040cac0 samples the cached site tri-lane at [site+0x310/+0x338/+0x360]
  • 0x00405920 walks same-company linked site peers above the live placed-structure / peer-site collection seam
  • 0x00420030 / 0x00420280 is the boolean/selector peer-site pair over 0x006cec20, combining 0x0042b2d0, the optional company filter through 0x0047efe0, the station-or-transit gate 0x0047fd50, and the status branch 0x0047de00 -> 0x0040c990
  • 0x0047efe0 and 0x0047fd50 both consume [site+0x04] as the live backing-record selector
  • 0x00480210 writes linked-peer row [peer+0x04] from the anchor-site id argument
  • 0x0040f6d0 -> 0x00481390 writes the anchor-site linked peer id back into [site+0x2a8]
  • 0x0047dda0 consumes [peer+0x08] as the linked route-entry anchor id
  • 0x0041f7e0 / 0x0041f810 / 0x0041f850 already ground [site+0x2a4] as the record's own placed-structure id lane beneath the peer-chain helpers
  • 0x0040d210 is the owner-side placed-structure resolver from [site+0x276] through 0x0062be10
  • 0x00480710 -> 0x0048abc0 / 0x00493cf0 is the linked-site refresh and route-entry rebind or synthesis strip above that anchor lane
  • the same 0x00480710 replay strip now also republishes the concrete world-cell owner chains: 0x0042bbf0 / 0x0042bbb0 remove or prepend the current site in the owner chain rooted at [cell+0xd4], while 0x0042c9f0 / 0x0042c9a0 remove or prepend it in the linked-site chain rooted at [cell+0xd6]
  • late world bring-up 0x00444690 is the current caller of 0x004133b0 placed_structure_collection_refresh_local_runtime_records_and_position_scalars
  • 0x004133b0 drains queued site ids through 0x0040e450 and then sweeps all live sites through 0x0040ee10
  • 0x0040ee10 reaches 0x0040edf6 -> 0x00480710 for linked-peer refresh and then the later 0x0040e360 follow-on
  • 0x004160aa is a separate non-bring-up runtime caller of 0x0040ee10
  • the direct 0x36b1 per-record callbacks serialize base scalar triplets [this+0x206/+0x20a/+0x20e] plus the subordinate payload callback strip, and the 0x4a9d/0x4a3a/0x4a3b side-buffer owner only persists route-entry lists, three byte arrays, five proximity buckets, and the sampled-cell list
  • 0x004269b0 consumes the chosen site's own placed-structure id lane [site+0x2a4]

• That leaves the acquisition blocker set tighter than before:

  • peer-site and linked-site replay seams are grounded enough for planning
  • the live owner-company meaning of [site+0x276] is already grounded through 0x0047efe0, with the direct owner-side resolver bounded at 0x0040d210
  • [site+0x2a4] is already grounded as the record's own placed-structure id lane through the peer-chain helpers 0x0041f7e0 / 0x0041f810 / 0x0041f850, and constructor-side 0x00480210 already seeds that lane for new linked-site rows
  • direct disassembly now also shows 0x004269b0 resolving one chosen site id through live placed-structure collection 0x0062b26c before mutating [site+0x276], so the [site+0x2a4] self-id lane is reconstructible from collection identity rather than needing a separate serializer-owned projection
  • the subtype byte consumed as [candidate+0x32] == 4 is already bounded under the aux-candidate load/stem-policy chain 0x004131f0 -> 0x00412fb0 -> 0x004120b0 -> 0x00412ab0
  • remaining non-hook gaps are the save or replay projection of [site+0x276] and the cached tri-lane [site+0x310/+0x338/+0x360]
  • the checked-in periodic-company trace now exposes those gaps as structured statuses instead of only prose:
    • site owner-company lane = live_meaning_grounded_projection_missing
    • site self-id lane = live_meaning_grounded_reconstructible_from_collection_identity
    • site cached tri-lane = delta_reader_grounded_projection_missing
    • candidate subtype lane = cached_candidate_id_bridge_grounded_via_stream_load
    • backing-record selector bridge = stream_load_callback_grounded_via_0x40ce60
  • the same trace now also carries three explicit projection hypotheses for the next pass:
    • site_owner_replay_from_post_load_refresh_self_id_reconstructible
    • site_cached_tri_lane_payload_or_restore_owner
    • cached_source_candidate_id_to_subtype_projection
  • the first of those is now bounded more tightly: 0x004133b0 -> 0x0040e450 / 0x0040ee10 rebuilds cloned local-runtime records and local position/scalar triplets, but direct constructor and caller recovery now shows the owner-company lane also living under the create-side allocator/finalize family 0x004134d0 -> 0x0040f6d0 -> 0x0040ef10, plus data-driven loader callers 0x0046f073 / 0x004707ff -> 0x0040ef10
  • the checked-in replay strip is narrower than before now: direct local inspection now splits it more precisely: 0x0040ee10 itself only reads cached source lane [site+0x3cc] in the checked range, and the bounded 0x00480710 neighborhood is working from [site+0x04], [site+0x08], and [site+0x3cc]; but the broader immediate continuation 0x0040e360..0x0040edf6 still consumes [site+0x2a8], [site+0x2a4], and [site+0x276] around 0x0040d230 / 0x0040d1f0 / 0x00480710 / 0x00426b10 / 0x00455860, so the replay family is narrowed rather than ruled out for owner-company rehydration; in the checked range those [site+0x276] uses are still reads/queries rather than a direct rehydrating store
  • the create-side owner family is grounded too now: 0x004134d0 allocates a new row through 0x00518900, 0x0040f6d0 seeds [site+0x2a4], copied name bytes, [site+0x276], [site+0x3d4/+0x3d5], and cleared local caches, and the shared finalize helper 0x0040ef10 has both create-side callers 0x00403ef3 / 0x00404489 and data-driven loader callers 0x0046f073 / 0x004707ff
  • one persisted tuple path is grounded too now: the data-driven loader callers 0x0046f073 / 0x004707ff push tuple fields [+0x00/+0x04/+0x0c] into 0x0040ef10, and inside that helper arg3 becomes ebx and then [site+0x276] at 0x0040f5d4
  • that tuple path is classified further now too: the checked-in atlas ties 0x004707ff to multiplayer transport selector-0x13 body 0x004706b0, which attempts the placed-structure apply path through 0x004197e0 / 0x004134d0 / 0x0040eba0 / 0x0052eb90 / 0x0040ef10
  • the neighboring batch builder is classified too: 0x00472b40 is the multiplayer transport selector-0x72 counted live-world apply path, and its inner builders 0x00472bef / 0x00472d03 reach 0x004134d0 from counted transport records rather than ordinary save-load restore
  • one surviving non-transport 0x004134d0 caller is bounded away from persisted restore too: 0x00422bb4 pushes one live 0x0062b2fc record plus local args and literal flags 1/0 into 0x004134d0, then returns the created row id through an out-param instead of feeding the tuple-backed finalize path
  • the remaining 0x00508fd1 / 0x005098eb family is bounded away too: it caches the created site id in [this+0x7c], re-enters 0x0040eba0 with immediate coords, and later calls 0x0040ef10 with a hard zero third arg, so it reads as another live controller path rather than the missing persisted owner seam
  • the adjacent 0x00473c20 family is bounded away too: it drains queued site ids and coordinate pairs from scratch band 0x006ce808..0x006ce988, re-enters 0x0040eba0 at 0x00473c98, and clears each queued id slot, so it is a local post-create refresh path rather than a persisted replay owner
  • the remaining direct [site+0x276] store census is bounded away too: 0x0042128d is broad zero-init in the 0x00421430 constructor neighborhood, 0x00422305 computes a live score/category lane before publishing event 0x7, 0x004269c9/0x00426a2a are acquisition commit/clear helpers, and 0x004282a9/0x004300d6 are bulk owner-transfer writes
  • the paired tagged triplet serializer is bounded away too: 0x00413440 is the save-side 0x36b1/0x36b2/0x36b3 serializer, dispatches each live record through vtable slot +0x44, and keeps that seam on the already-grounded triplet payload rather than the missing [site+0x276] replay owner
  • the ordinary bring-up strip is narrower too: 0x00444690 -> 0x004133b0 is still the checked ordinary restore-side replay owner above live placed structures, but it only drains queued local-runtime ids through 0x0040e450 and then sweeps live rows through 0x0040ee10; after that, bring-up proceeds into later route-entry, grid, and tagged refresh owners rather than re-entering the constructor/finalize family 0x004134d0 / 0x0040f6d0 / 0x0040ef10
  • the ordinary restore staging order is explicit now too: world bring-up calls the tagged 0x36b1/0x36b2/0x36b3 stream-load owner 0x00413280 at 0x00444467, refreshes the placed-structure dynamic side buffers through 0x00481210 at 0x004444d8, and only later enters the queued local-runtime replay owner 0x00444690 -> 0x004133b0 -> 0x0040ee10
  • the broader load-side stream owner is separate too: 0x00413280 is the actual tagged 0x36b1/0x36b2/0x36b3 stream-load owner, dispatching per-entry vtable slot +0x40; current local recovery still only grounds that seam through the cached-source bridge 0x0040ce60 -> 0x0040cd70 / 0x0045c150, not through a direct [site+0x276] republisher
  • the grouped-opcode family is narrower rather than fully ruled down: 0x00431b20 is still only reached through scenario runtime-effect service 0x004323a0 -> 0x00432f40 via direct call 0x00432317, but that service loop is itself called from world bring-up at 0x00444d92 with trigger kind 8 under shell-profile latch [0x006cec7c+0x97]; so 0x0061039c currently reads as a startup-time live runtime-effect application lane rather than an ordinary tagged restore owner
  • the [site+0x27a] companion lane is grounded now too: it is a live signed scalar accumulator rather than a second owner-identity seam, with zero-init at 0x0042125d and 0x0040f793, accumulation at 0x0040dfec and 0x00426ad8, direct set on acquisition commit at 0x004269e4, and negated clear at 0x00426a44..0x00426a90
  • the remaining owner-company question is therefore narrower than “find any replay seam”: identify which non-transport persisted source family outside the currently bounded direct allocator/finalize/store families, the save-side 0x00413440 serializer, the load-side 0x00413280 cached-source bridge, the checked ordinary replay strip 0x00444690 -> 0x004133b0 -> 0x0040ee10, and the startup-time runtime-effect dispatcher lane 0x00444d92 -> 0x00432f40(kind 8) -> 0x004323a0 -> 0x00431b20 feed the tuple or companion restore calls that are sufficient to repopulate [site+0x276] for shellless acquisition
  • the second is narrower in the same way: the checked-in 0x36b1/0x36b2/0x36b3 triplet seam and the 0x4a9d/0x4a3a/0x4a3b side-buffer seam still do not serialize [site+0x310/+0x338/+0x360] directly, so the known save seams are ruled down even though a later restore family is still open
  • the dynamic side-buffer load seam is ruled down too: 0x00481430 -> 0x0047d8e0 repopulates the route-entry list, three byte arrays, five proximity buckets, and the trailing scratch band from stream, but still does not claim the cached tri-lane
  • the tri-lane now has one real runtime accumulator too: direct local binary inspection shows 0x0040c9a0 folding [site+0x310/+0x338/+0x360] into [site+0x2b4/+0x2b8/+0x2bc], mirroring the nine-dword side array rooted at [site+0x2e4], and then clearing the tri-lane
  • caller census keeps that tri-lane role narrow: 0x0040c9a0 only appears under the broad live-collection sweep 0x0040a3a1..0x0040a4d3, while 0x0040cac0 stays under weighted scoring or evaluation families such as 0x0040fcc0..0x0040fe28 and 0x00422c62..0x00422d3c
  • direct local binary inspection now rules out the old “no live writer” hypothesis too: 0x0040d4aa/0x0040d4b0 add into [site+0x310], 0x0041114a7/0x004111572 add into [site+0x310], 0x0041114b7/0x004111582 add into [site+0x338], and 0x0041118aa/0x0041118f4 add into [site+0x360]
  • the writer family is now bounded one level higher: 0x0040d450 is a small owner-company-aware producer over [site+0x276], 0x00455810/0x00455800/0x0044ad60, and 0x00436590 ids 0x66/0x68, while 0x00410b30..0x004118f4 is a broader candidate-processing loop walking 0xbc-stride rows, gating them through 0x00412560, and then accumulating both stack temporaries and direct writes into [site+0x310/+0x338/+0x360]
  • 0x00412560 is now bounded as the shared candidate/admissibility gate above that loop: it checks candidate-row fields +0x20/+0x22/+0x24/+0x28/+0x2c/+0x44, world date/flags via 0x006cec78, and the candidate table 0x0062ba8c
  • the cached source/candidate bridge is now grounded on stream load too: direct local binary inspection shows 0x00413280 dispatching per-entry vtable slot +0x40 on the 0x005c8c50 specialization table, that slot resolving to 0x0040ce60, and 0x0040ce60 immediately re-entering 0x0040cd70 plus 0x0045c150
  • the third hypothesis is now a cached source/candidate bridge question, not just a raw [site+0x04] selector question: 0x0040cd70 seeds [site+0x3cc/+0x3d0] from 0x62b2fc / 0x62b268, 0x0040cee0 resolves cached candidate id [site+0x3d0] back into the live candidate pool, and 0x004138f0 already counts live placed structures by that cached candidate id
  • the checked-in consumer side is tighter too: 0x0040dc40 already consumes live owner company [site+0x276], company stat-family 0x2329/0x0d, candidate field [candidate+0x22], and the projected-cell validation strip 0x00417840 -> 0x004197e0, then commits the linked-site mutation through 0x0040d1f0 / 0x00480710 / 0x0045b160 / 0x0045b9b0 / 0x00418be0 / 0x0040cd70
  • the periodic-company trace now carries the tri-lane live-service family as structured fields, not just prose:
    • site cached tri-lane status = live_writer_family_grounded_semantics_and_persisted_inputs_missing
    • tri-lane live service status = candidate_gate_and_live_writer_family_grounded_exact_formula_and_persisted_inputs_missing
    • tri-lane live owners include: 0x0040d450, 0x00410b30..0x004118f4, 0x00412560, 0x0040c9a0, and the downstream 0x0040fcc0..0x0040fe28 / 0x00422c62..0x00422d3c consumers
    • tri-lane gate fields include: candidate-row fields +0x20/+0x22/+0x24/+0x28/+0x2c/+0x44, world date/flags via 0x006cec78, candidate table 0x0062ba8c, and caller-provided subject vtable slot +0x80 plus owner-present flag [site+0x246]
    • tri-lane writer roles are now split explicitly between: one owner-company-aware local scorer 0x0040d450, the broader 0x00410b30..0x004118f4 candidate loop, and the later 0x0040c9a0 accumulator/reset
    • direct caller families are now split explicitly too: 0x0040fb70 is the small wrapper into 0x00412560, 0x004b4052 / 0x004b46ec are collection-wide 0x0040fb70 census callers over 0x0062b26c, 0x00401633 is an acquisition-adjacent 0x0040d540 caller that immediately feeds company stat-family 0x2329/0x0d, 0x0044b81a is an owner-company-aware 0x0040d540 caller that also reaches 0x0040cb70 and news/event id 0x65, and 0x004b70f5 / 0x004b7979 are broader sibling 0x0040d540 callers routing through 0x004337a0 and downstream 0x00540120 / 0x00518140
    • formula input lanes are now structured too: 0x00412560 uses candidate-row time window +0x20/+0x22, owner/absence booleans +0x24/+0x28, list count +0x2c, and membership list +0x44, while the wider 0x00410b30..0x004118f4 loop consumes candidate-row +0x18/+0x1c/+0x2a/+0x2c/+0x44, subject latch [site+0x78c], personality byte [site+0x391], world lanes [world+0x0d], [world+0x4afb], [world+0x4caa], owner-company scalar [company+0x0d5d], and the local cache bands [site+0x2e8], [site+0x310], [site+0x338], [site+0x360]
  • the direct writer census now narrows the remaining owner-company question too: grounded [site+0x276] writes cluster under create-side and live mutation families such as 0x004269b0 / 0x00426a10, the create-side 0x0040ef10 / 0x0040f6d0 strip, and the bulk reassignment families 0x00426dce..0x00426ea1 and 0x00430040..0x004300d6, not under the known 0x00444690 -> 0x004133b0 -> 0x0040ee10 replay strip
  • the same write side is now grounded one level higher too: direct local control-flow reconstruction shows those families hanging under the grouped opcode dispatcher 0x00431b20 over 0x0061039c, with opcodes 0x04..0x07 dispatching to 0x00430040, opcodes 0x08/0x10..0x13 dispatching to 0x00426d60, and opcodes 0x0d/0x16 dispatching to 0x0042fc90
  • 0x0042fc90 itself is now ruled onto the live mutation side too: it iterates the live placed-structure collection 0x0062b26c, filters rows through 0x0040c990, optional owner-company match [site+0x276], and row vtable slot +0x70, which keeps that branch on the live application side rather than replay
  • the focused save-side triplet probe is now available directly too: runtime inspect-save-placed-structure-triplets <save.gms> dumps the grounded 0x36b1/0x55f1/0x55f2/0x55f3 rows without the wider periodic trace wrapper
  • real-save output from that focused probe rules the checked-in triplet seam down further: on grounded p.gms, all 2026 rows keep policy trailing word 0x0101, the profile side is dominated by companion byte 0x00 with status unset (1885 rows) plus farm-growth buckets (138 rows), and the only nonzero companion-byte residue is 3 TextileMill rows
  • the create-side family is grounded separately too: city-connection direct placement already reaches 0x00402cb0 -> 0x00403ed5/0x0040446b -> 0x004134d0 -> 0x0040ef10 as the shared constructor/finalize strip for newly created site rows
  • so the acquisition blocker is no longer “is there any real consumer family above these lanes?”, “how do new placed structures finalize?”, “is [site+0x2a4] still missing?”, or “does the tri-lane even have live writers?”; it is now specifically the persisted inputs and exact shellless service semantics above the grounded live tri-lane scorer family, plus the save-native or replay owner that populates [site+0x276] for already-restored rows before shellless acquisition runs
  • direct disassembly now shows the generic base constructor 0x0052edf0 clearing base state through 0x0052ecd0 and then writing [this+0x04] from caller arg 1
  • 0x00455b70 is the concrete placed-structure specialization constructor feeding 0x0052edf0, with arg 3 as the primary selector and arg 1 as fallback
  • 0x00455c62 is the direct in-body call from that specialization constructor into 0x0052edf0
  • 0x00456100 is a local wrapper that duplicates its first incoming arg across the selector/fallback bundle before calling 0x00455b70
  • 0x00456072 is a fixed 0x55f2 callback that forwards three local dwords plus unit scalars into 0x00455b70
  • 0x0045c36e / 0x0045da65 / 0x0045e0fc are concrete callers of 0x00456100, repeatedly allocating 0x23a rows, forwarding stack-backed buffers, and using the same default scalar lanes
  • the 0x00456100 -> 0x00455b70 wrapper mapping is now grounded far enough to say the sampled selector-source lanes are [owner+0x23e] at 0x0045c36e, literal zero at 0x0045da65, and [ebp+0x08] at 0x0045e0fc
  • direct disassembly now shows 0x0045c150 as a save-backed loader for [owner+0x23e/+0x242]: it zeroes those fields, runs the shared tagged loader 0x00455fc0, reads tagged payload 0x5dc1, and copies the two recovered lanes into [owner+0x23e/+0x242] before 0x0045c310 -> 0x0045c36e later feeds [owner+0x23e] into 0x00456100
  • the local linked-site helper neighborhood now reaches that same owner strip directly: 0x0040ceab calls 0x0045c150, and 0x0040d1a1 jumps straight into 0x0045c310
  • 0x00485819 is one typed placed-structure caller of 0x0052edf0 through the generic three-arg wrapper 0x00530640
  • 0x00490a79 is one chooser-side caller of 0x00455b70, feeding literal selector 0x005cfd74 with fallback seed 0x005c87a8
  • the periodic-company trace now also surfaces the save-side 0x5dc1 payload/status summaries already parsed from the 0x36b1 triplet seam; on grounded p.gms the payload dword lane is almost entirely unique while the status kind stays unset, and the dominant adjacent payload delta is 0x00000780 across 1908 steps; grounded q.gms shows the same dominant adjacent delta 0x00000780 across 1868 steps
  • the same trace now also promotes the one-byte 0x5dc1 post-secondary discriminator explicitly: grounded p.gms shows dominant companion byte 0x00 on 2023 rows with only 3 0x01 rows, and grounded q.gms shows dominant companion byte 0x00 on 2043 rows with only 14 0x01 rows; the old “pre-footer padding” hypothesis is now better understood as a separate post-secondary discriminator byte after the repeated secondary payload string, not as the [owner+0x242] field itself So the next owner question is no longer “what does the acquisition branch do?” or “which post- load owner replays linked-site refresh?” but “which concrete 0x00455b70 caller family applies to the live site rows, and which persisted lane becomes the selector bundle that ultimately seeds [site+0x04]?” The current strongest restore-family hypothesis is now the save-backed 0x0045c150 -> 0x0045c310 -> 0x0045c36e -> 0x00456100 -> 0x00455b70 strip.

• Make the next static/rehost slice the peer-site rebuild seam above persistence, not another save scan:

  • treat 0x00444690 -> 0x004133b0 -> 0x0040e450 / 0x0040ee10 -> 0x0040edf6 -> 0x00480710 as the checked-in bring-up replay path for existing saves
  • treat 0x004160aa -> 0x0040ee10 as the checked-in recurring runtime maintenance entry into the same linked-peer refresh strip
  • treat 0x0052edf0 as the checked-in field owner for [site+0x04]
  • treat 0x00455b70 as the checked-in specialization constructor that maps selector/fallback bundle lanes into that field owner
  • distinguish which 0x00455b70 caller family actually seeds the live site rows before 0x00420030 / 0x00420280 / 0x0047efe0 / 0x0047fd50 consume the resulting selector, with the current first target being the save-backed 0x0045c150 -> 0x0045c310 -> 0x0045c36e -> 0x00456100 family
  • use the structured periodic-company trace selector fields now checked into inspect-periodic-company-service-trace: owner strip 0x0045c150 -> 0x0045c310 -> 0x0045c36e -> 0x00456100 -> 0x00455b70, persisted tag 0x5dc1, selector lane [owner+0x23e], class-identity status grounded_direct_local_helper_strip, and helper linkage 0x0040ceab -> 0x0045c150 / 0x0040d1a1 -> 0x0045c310 / 0x0040cd70 seeds [site+0x3cc/+0x3d0] from 0x62b2fc / 0x62b268
  • use the new 0x5dc1 payload/status summary in the same trace as negative evidence too: the current profile_payload_dword lane behaves like a save-invariant monotone ladder (dominant adjacent delta 0x780 on both p.gms and q.gms) rather than a compact selector family, so the next peer-site slice should treat that raw dword as a likely allocator/offset lane until a stronger selector interpretation appears
  • use the new 0x5dc1 post-secondary-byte summary in the same trace as positive evidence: that byte is overwhelmingly 0x00 with a tiny 0x01 residue on both grounded saves, so the next peer-site slice should treat it as a real typed discriminator after the restored [owner+0x23e] / [owner+0x242] payload strings and ask which later 0x004014b0 / 0x00406050 predicates actually consume it
  • use the new nonzero-companion name-pair summary in the same trace as a narrower acquisition clue too: grounded p.gms exposes only TextileMill/TextileMill x3, while grounded q.gms exposes TextileMill x9, Toolndie x2, and singleton Brewery, MeatPackingPlant, and MunitionsFactory rows, so the next peer-site slice should treat nonzero post-secondary-byte rows as a likely industry-like subset rather than a generic placed-structure mode split
  • keep the already-grounded 0x0047fd50 class gate separate from that byte: direct disassembly now says 0x0047fd50 resolves the linked peer through [site+0x04], reads candidate class byte [candidate+0x8c], and returns true only for 0/1/2 while rejecting 3/4 and above, so the next slice should not conflate the post-secondary byte with the existing station-or-transit gate
  • treat the peer-site selector seam itself as grounded enough for planning purposes
  • use the new structured restore/runtime field split in the same trace: restore subset [site+0x3cc/+0x3d0] plus 0x5dc1-backed [owner+0x23e/+0x242], and runtime subset [site+0x04], [site+0x2a8], [peer+0x08]
  • use the new structured reconstruction status in the same trace: restore_subset_and_bring_up_reconstruct_runtime_subset
  • treat the runtime subset as reconstructible from the restore subset plus the already-grounded bring-up path for planning purposes
  • use the new structured acquisition input families in the same trace: region subset [region+0x276], region vtable +0x80 byte-0x32, [region+0x3d5], [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360], [region+0x2a4]; peer subset center-cell token gate, [site+0x04], [site+0x2a8], [peer+0x08], linked-region status; company subset stat-family reader 0x2329/0x0d, chairman byte [profile+0x291], company byte [company+0x5b] plus indexed lane [company+0x67 + 12*0x0042a0e0()], and the company-root argument passed into 0x0040d540 / 0x00455f60
  • use the new shellless-readiness split in the same trace: runtime-backed families peer-site restore subset plus bring-up reconstruction, company stat-family 0x2329/0x0d, chairman byte [profile+0x291], and save-native company/chairman identity; remaining owner gaps [region+0x276], [region+0x2a4], [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360], and the stable region class/type discriminator consumed through 0x0040d360
  • use the new per-lane region status split in the same trace: [region+0x276] already has a grounded runtime producer at 0x00422100 and is now only an ordinary-save restore gap; [region+0x2a4] currently has no region-class runtime writer in the binary scan and now looks payload/restore-owned; [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360] has an exact raw delta reader at 0x0040cac0 and likewise no direct region-class runtime writer in the current binary scan, so it now also looks payload/restore-owned; 0x0040d360 is now exact as [owner_vtable+0x80+0x32] == 4, so the remaining gap there is only the save-native projection of that byte
  • make the next periodic-company slice about the smaller shellless-simulation question instead: which later save payload or restore owner rehydrates the remaining region-side 0x004014b0 inputs [region+0x2a4] and [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360] once the peer/company inputs are treated as grounded and [region+0x276] is treated as a producer-known ordinary-save restore gap

• Use the higher-layer probes as the standard entry point for the current blocked frontier instead of generic save scans: runtime inspect-periodic-company-service-trace <save.gms>, runtime inspect-region-service-trace <save.gms>, and runtime inspect-infrastructure-asset-trace <save.gms>.

• Follow the new higher-layer probe outputs instead of another blind save scan: runtime inspect-infrastructure-asset-trace <save.gms> now shows that the 0x38a5 infrastructure-asset seam is grounded and the old alias hypothesis is disproved on q.gms, so the next placed-structure slice should target the consumer mapping above that seam rather than more collection discovery; the same trace now also carries atlas-backed candidate consumers (0x0048a1e0, 0x0048dd50, 0x00490a3c, 0x004559d0, 0x00455870, 0x00455930, 0x00448a70/0x00493660/0x0048b660, 0x004133b0) plus bridge/tunnel/track-cap name-family counts, so the next pass can start at those concrete owners instead of the whole placed-structure family.

• Rehost or bound the next concrete Infrastructure consumer above 0x38a5 instead of treating “consumer mapping missing” as a stop: start with the checked-in candidate strip 0x0048a1e0, 0x0048dd50, 0x00490a3c, 0x004559d0, 0x00455870, 0x00455930, 0x00448a70/0x00493660/0x0048b660, 0x004133b0, and narrow that list to the first true shellless owner that consumes the side-buffer seam. The infrastructure trace now ranks the current best hypothesis as the child attach/rebuild strip (0x0048a1e0, 0x0048dd50, 0x00490a3c), with the serializer/load companions next and the route/local-runtime follow-on family explicitly secondary.

• For that top-ranked infrastructure strip, treat the next pass as three exact owner questions rather than a general “map the consumer” task: whether the 0x38a5 compact-prefix/name-pair groups feed the first-child triplet clone lane, the caller-supplied payload-stem lane, or only a later route/local-runtime refresh lane; which child fields or grouped rows absorb the side-buffer payload before 0x00448a70/0x00493660/0x0048b660 become relevant; and, now that the direct route-entry bridge helpers over [this+0x206/+0x20a/+0x20e] are grounded, which later route/local-runtime owner still carries the remaining mixed exact classes once cached primary-child slot [this+0x248] is demoted to child-list cache/cleanup state.

• Targeted disassembly now tightens that strip further: 0x0048a1e0 clones the first child through 0x0052e880/0x0052e720, destroys the prior child, seeds a literal Infrastructure child through 0x00455b70 with payload seed 0x005c87a8, and republishes the two sampled bands through 0x0052e8b0/0x00530720 after attaching through 0x005395d0; the non-clone branch attaches through 0x0053a5d0. So the next unknown is no longer whether this strip owns the child/rebuild seam, but which 0x38a5 compact-prefix groups drive the clone-vs-payload choice.

• The outer rebuild owner is tighter now too: 0x0048dcf0 reads a child count plus optional primary-child ordinal from the tagged stream through 0x00531150, zeroes [this+0x08], dispatches each fresh child through 0x00455a50 -> vtable slot +0x40, culls ordinals above 5, and restores cached primary-child slot [this+0x248] from the saved ordinal. That means the child/rebuild loop is consuming an already-materialized child stream rather than parsing the 0x38a5 compact-prefix seam directly.

• The upstream handoff is grounded now too: 0x00493be0 is the tagged collection load owner over 0x38a5/0x38a6/0x38a7, and it feeds each live infrastructure record straight into 0x0048dcf0 after restoring one shared owner-local dword into the 0x90/0x94 lane. So the remaining infrastructure question is no longer whether 0x38a5 reaches the child-stream restore path at all. Direct disassembly now also shows 0x00518140 resolving a non-direct live entry by tombstone bitset and then returning the first dword of a 12-byte row from [collection+0x3c], while 0x00518680 loads that non-direct table family before 0x00493be0 starts iterating, and 0x00493be0 itself now reads as an ordinal-to-live-id-to-payload-pointer walk through 0x00518380(ordinal, 0) then 0x00518140(live_id). So the next infrastructure question is no longer “which row owns the payload pointer?”. Direct disassembly of 0x005181f0/0x00518260 now also treats those 12-byte rows as a live-entry directory with (payload pointer, previous live id, next live id), so the next infrastructure question is only how those payload streams align with the embedded 0x55f1 name-pair groups and compact-prefix regimes, and which tagged values inside each payload stream become the child count, optional primary-child ordinal, and per-child callback sequence that 0x0048dcf0 consumes. Direct disassembly now also shows the shared child payload callback 0x00455fc0 opening 0x55f1 -> 0x55f2 -> 0x55f3, parsing three 0x55f1 strings through 0x00531380, seeding the child through 0x00455b70, and then dispatching slot +0x48; the widened save-side probe currently sees 0 third 0x55f1 strings on grounded q.gms. That now looks less like a probe failure and more like an ordinary fallback path, because direct disassembly of 0x00455b70 stores the three payload strings into [this+0x206/+0x20a/+0x20e], defaulting the second lane through a fixed literal when absent and defaulting the third lane back to the first string when absent. So the next pass should stay focused on payload-stream grouping and tagged value roles, not on rediscovering a missing third-string encoding.

• The child loader identity is tighter now too: local .rdata at 0x005cfd00 proves the Infrastructure child vtable uses the shared tagged callback strip directly, with +0x40 = 0x00455fc0, +0x44 = 0x004559d0, +0x48 = 0x00455870, and +0x4c = 0x00455930. Direct disassembly of 0x004559d0 then shows the concrete write-side chain for the child payload: write 0x55f1, serialize string lanes [this+0x206/+0x20a/+0x20e], write 0x55f2, dispatch slot +0x4c, run 0x0052ec50, and close 0x55f3. So the remaining infrastructure frontier is no longer “which slot does 0x00455a40 jump to?”; it is which chooser/seed values reach those string lanes and the trailing footer path.

• That source side is narrower now too: direct disassembly shows the paired chooser siblings calling 0x00490960 directly beside 0x0048a340/0x0048f4c0/0x00490200, and 0x00490960 copies selector fields into the child object ([this+0x219], [this+0x251], bit 0x20 in [this+0x24c], and [this+0x226]), allocates a fresh 0x23a Infrastructure child, seeds it through 0x00455b70 with caller-supplied stem input plus fixed literal Infrastructure at 0x005cfd74, attaches it through 0x005395d0, seeds position lanes through 0x00539530/0x0053a5b0, and can cache it as primary child in [this+0x248]. The remaining problem is no longer “where do the child payload lanes come from?” but “which chooser branches feed 0x00490960 which caller stem and selector tuple for each grounded save-side class?”.

• One direct branch is grounded now too: the repeated chooser calls at 0x004a2eba/0x004a30f9/0x004a339c all feed 0x00490960 with mode arg 0x0a and stem arg 0x005cb138 = BallastCapDT_Cap.3dp, which means they bypass the selector-copy block at 0x004909e2 and go straight into fresh child allocation/seeding. So the remaining source-side mapping problem is no longer generic BallastCap coverage; it is the other constructor branches, especially the ones with mode < 4 that actually populate the selector-byte copy block.

• The broader mode family is grounded now too. A wider static callsite sweep shows:

  • mode 0x0b with fixed TrackCapDT_Cap.3dp / TrackCapST_Cap.3dp
  • mode 0x03 with OverpassST_section.3dp
  • mode 0x02 with decoded tunnel table stems plus zero-stem fallbacks
  • mode 0x01 with decoded bridge table stems plus zero-stem fallbacks

  The current grounded q.gms name corpus now also maps directly onto most of those families: BridgeSTWood_Section.3dp -> mode 0x01, TunnelSTBrick_* -> mode 0x02, BallastCapST_Cap.3dp -> mode 0x0a, and TrackCapST_Cap.3dp -> mode 0x0b, with only Overpass still static-only in the current save corpus.

  So the remaining infrastructure question is no longer “what does 0x00490960 build?” or even “which family is this name row?” but “how do the surviving compact-prefix regimes subdivide those already-mapped families, especially inside bridge mode 0x01 and track-cap mode 0x0b?”.

• The direct route-side bridge is grounded now too: 0x0048e140/0x0048e160/0x0048e180 simply resolve [this+0x206/+0x20a/+0x20e] through live route collection 0x006cfca8, and 0x0048e1a0 compares those resolved peers against [this+0x202]. The neighboring 0x0048ed30 path is now also narrower: it only tears down child list [this+0x08], clearing cached primary-child slot [this+0x248] when needed, so [this+0x248] is no longer the first route bridge to chase.

• The later route/local-runtime follow-on family is tighter now too: 0x00448a70 is a world-overlay helper over [world+0x15e1/+0x162d], 0x00493660 is a counter-plus-companion- region follow-on keyed by [child+0x218], [child+0x226], [child+0x44], and 0x0048dcb0, 0x0048b660 is a presentation-color/style owner over [child+0x216/+0x218/+0x226/+0x44] and bit 0x40 in [child+0x201], and 0x0048e2c0/0x0048e330/0x0048e3c0 now read as flag / route- tracker / region-test helpers rather than hidden payload decoders. So the next infrastructure slice should stay focused on the remaining mixed exact compact-prefix classes and earlier child-stream semantics, not on rediscovering the already-bounded presentation owners.

• The new probe correlation now makes that residual even more concrete: on grounded q.gms, the dominant mixed 0x0001/0xff class splits as bridge:62 / track_cap:21 / tunnel:19, while the pure 0x0002/0xff class is all bridge and the pure 0x0055/0x00 class is all ballast-cap. So the next infrastructure slice should focus on subdividing the mixed one-child 0x0001/0xff class rather than revisiting the already-grounded pure classes.

• The sibling 0x00490200 is tighter now too: it reads the seeded lanes [this+0x206/+0x20a/+0x20e] back through the live route collection at 0x006cfca8, compares them against the current owner using [this+0x216/+0x218/+0x201/+0x202], and behaves like a route/link comparator layered above the same child payload lanes that 0x004559d0 later serializes. So the next infrastructure pass should treat 0x00490960 as the source owner and 0x00490200 as a consumer of the same seeded lanes, not as separate unexplained seams.

• The smaller helper 0x00490a3c is narrower now too: it allocates one literal Infrastructure child, seeds it through 0x00455b70 with caller-provided stem input, attaches it through 0x005395d0, seeds position lanes through 0x00539530/0x0053a5b0, and optionally caches it as the primary child. So the next concrete infrastructure question is which upstream owner maps the direct 0x38a5 rows into the child count, primary-child ordinal, and per-child payload callbacks consumed by 0x0048dcf0, and which restored child fields still retain those embedded name-pair semantics before route/local-runtime follow-ons take over.

• The save-side 0x38a5 probe is now tighter at the payload-envelope level too: grounded q.gms shows all 138 embedded 0x55f1 rows already live inside complete 0x55f1 -> 0x55f2 -> 0x55f3 envelopes before the next name row, every embedded 0x55f2 chunk is the fixed 0x1a bytes that 0x00455fc0 expects, and the dominant embedded 0x55f3 payload-to-next-name span is the short 0x06-byte form across 72 rows. So the next infrastructure pass should stop asking whether the shared tagged callback sequence is present at all and instead decode the short 0x55f3 payload role and its relation to the compact-prefix regimes and primary-child restore path.

• That short trailing lane is tighter now too: direct disassembly of 0x0052ebd0/0x0052ec50 shows the post-+0x48 helper pair loading and serializing two single-byte lanes that fold into bits 0x20 and 0x40 of [this+0x20], and the save-side probe now shows the dominant 0x06-byte rows all carrying the same grounded flag pair 0x00/0x00 on q.gms. So the next concrete infrastructure question is no longer “is there a short trailing flag lane?”; it is how the compact-prefix regimes and those flag-byte pairs feed the child-count / primary-child restore state above 0x0048dcf0.

• The fixed 0x55f2 lane is tighter now too: direct disassembly of 0x00455870/0x00455930 shows the +0x48/+0x4c strip loading and serializing six u32 lanes from the fixed 0x1a chunk, forwarding them through 0x00530720 and 0x0052e8b0. Grounded q.gms probes now show every embedded 0x55f2 row using the same trailing word 0x0101 while those six dword lanes vary by asset row. So the next infrastructure question is no longer whether 0x55f2 is a fixed-format child lane; it is which of those two dword triplets correspond to child-count / primary-child restore state and which only seed published anchor or position bands.

• That split is tighter now too: direct disassembly of 0x00530720/0x0052e8b0 shows the first fixed 0x55f2 triplet landing in [this+0x1e2/+0x1e6/+0x1ea] and the second in [this+0x4b/+0x4f/+0x53], with the companion setter also forcing bit 0x02. So the next infrastructure question is no longer whether the fixed 0x55f2 row hides the child count or primary-child ordinal at all; those outer-header values now have to live outside the fixed row, most likely in the surrounding payload-stream header or compact-prefix regime above 0x0048dcf0.

• The outer prelude itself is tighter now too: direct disassembly of 0x0048dcf0 shows it reading one u16 child count through 0x00531150, zeroing [this+0x08], and conditionally reading one saved primary-child byte before the per-child callback loop runs. Grounded q.gms bytes now also show the first 0x38a6 record starting immediately after the shared owner-local dword with child_count = 1, saved_primary_child_byte = 0xff, and the first child 0x55f1 opening at offset +0x3. So the next infrastructure question is no longer “what kind of values are we looking for above the fixed rows?”; it is the narrower partitioning problem of how the observed 0x55f3-to-next-0x55f1 gaps divide between the two 0x52ebd0 flag bytes and the next record’s u16 + byte prelude.

• The widened prelude correlation closes part of that partitioning too: grounded q.gms rows with a 0x03 post-profile gap now collapse cleanly to the next-record prelude pattern 0x0001 / 0xff across 17/17 rows, while the zero-length class is a separate grounded outlier with dominant pattern 0x0055 / 0x00 across 18/18 rows and the 0x06 class remains the only large mixed frontier. So the next infrastructure slice should focus on classifying the mixed 0x06 rows, not on rediscovering the already-grounded pure-prelude 0x03 rows.

• That 0x06 class is now narrower too: grounded q.gms shows the dominant short-span class as BridgeSTWood_Section.3dp / Infrastructure with compact prefix 0xff000000 / 0x0001 / 0xff across 62/72 rows and dominant prelude candidate 0x0001 / 0xff across 63/72 rows. So the next infrastructure slice should stop treating the 0x06 class as uniformly ambiguous and focus on the smaller outlier families inside that class, especially the zero-like BallastCap-style rows and any remaining non-0x0001 / 0xff prelude candidates.

• The exact compact-prefix classes are explicit across the whole prelude now too: 0xff0000ff / 0x0002 / 0xff is a pure bridge class, 0xff000000 / {0x0001,0x0002} / 0xff are pure bridge classes, 0xf3010100 / 0x0055 / 0x00 is a pure BallastCap class, and 0x0005d368 / 0x0001 / 0xff is a pure one-row TrackCap class.

• That sharpens the remaining infrastructure unknowns considerably: the only mixed exact compact-prefix classes left on grounded q.gms are 0x000055f3 / 0x0001 / 0xff and 0xff0000ff / 0x0001 / 0xff.

• The current 0x000055f3 / 0x0001 / 0xff class is tunnel-dominant: TunnelSTBrick_Section.3dp / Infrastructure:13, TunnelSTBrick_Cap.3dp / Infrastructure:4, TrackCapST_Cap.3dp / Infrastructure:0 in the exact-prefix correlation, with all 17 rows staying on prior profile span 0x03.

• The current 0xff0000ff / 0x0001 / 0xff class is TrackCap-dominant but still carries 4 tunnel rows: TrackCapST_Cap.3dp / Infrastructure:18, TunnelSTBrick_Cap.3dp / Infrastructure:2, TunnelSTBrick_Section.3dp / Infrastructure:2. Its rows are spread across many spans rather than one dominant restore span.

• Cross-save q.gms / p.gms traces sharpen that split further without changing it: 0x000055f3 / 0x0001 / 0xff stays on prelude 0x0001 / 0xff, fixed short-flag pair 0x01 / 0x00, and fixed prior profile span 0x03 in both saves, while 0xff0000ff / 0x0001 / 0xff stays on prelude 0x0001 / 0xff, fixed short-flag pair 0x00 / 0x00, and widely scattered prior profile spans in both saves.

• Direct consumers of those footer bits are grounded now too: 0x00528d90 only admits the child when the explicit caller override is set, the surrounding global override byte [owner+0x3692] is set, or bit 0x20 in [child+0x20] is set; the sibling loop 0x00529730 only takes the later 0x530280 follow-on when bit 0x40 in [child+0x20] is set.

• That footer-bit consumer strip is tied to a broader higher-layer owner family now too: 0x005295f0..0x005297b7 repopulates candidate cells through 0x00533ba0, walks candidate child lists through 0x00556ef0/0x00556f00, and honors the same controller mode byte [owner+0x3692] that the atlas already places under the world-window presentation dispatcher.

• The neighboring helpers tighten that owner family further: atlas-backed 0x00533ba0 is the nearby-presentation cell-table helper under the layout/presenter strip, direct disassembly shows 0x00548da0 walking layout list root [layout+0x2593], and direct disassembly of 0x0054bab0 mutates layout slots [layout+0x2637/+0x263b/+0x2643].

• That means the remaining infrastructure question is no longer both footer bytes. It is specifically why the stable 0x000055f3 / 0x0001 / 0xff tunnel family sets the first footer byte / bit-0x20 admission gate while the sparse 0xff0000ff / 0x0001 / 0xff outlier class clears it, inside that layout/presentation owner family rather than at the serializer layer.

• Source-side constructor analysis is narrower now too. 0x00490960 takes:

  • mode at stack arg 1
  • stem at stack arg 2
  • args 3/4 into 0x539530
  • arg 5 into 0x53a5b0
  • arg 10 as the primary-child cache gate for [this+0x248]
  • args 7/8/9 into the selector-copy block for [this+0x219], [this+0x251], and bit 0x20 in [this+0x24c] when mode < 4

• That already separates the remaining mixed classes:

  • fixed TrackCap mode 0x0b callers at 0x0048ed01/0x0048ed20 push arg7/arg8/arg9 as -1 / -1 / 0 and bypass selector-copy entirely because mode >= 4
  • tunnel mode 0x02 callers at 0x004a17eb / 0x004a1995 / 0x004a1b44 / 0x004a1b7d / 0x004a1b95 necessarily flow through selector-copy because mode < 4, with arg8 fixed at 1, arg9 fixed at 0, and only arg7 varying through a branch-local one-bit register

• So the next infrastructure slice should stop treating the remaining frontier as a generic “mixed 0x06/outlier” problem and instead target the owning constructor/restore semantics for those two exact mixed compact-prefix classes, especially how tunnel arg7 and the fixed TrackCap no-selector bundle both still collapse into the observed mixed save-side prefixes.

• The candidate-pattern classes are now explicit across the whole stream too: 0x0055 / 0x00 is a pure BallastCapST_Cap.3dp / Infrastructure class across 18 rows, always preceded by a zero-length prior profile span, while 0x0002 / 0xff is a pure BridgeSTWood_Section.3dp / Infrastructure class across 18 rows with dominant prior profile span 0x06 (10 rows). So the next infrastructure pass should split its owner questions: treat 0x0055 / 0x00 as a BallastCap-specific boundary artifact class, and treat 0x0002 / 0xff as the grounded save-side bridge-specific two-child candidate class above 0x0048a1e0/0x0048dcf0, with the remaining unknown narrowed to the upstream chooser that emits that class before the attach/rebuild path runs.

• That upstream chooser is grounded now too as paired siblings: direct disassembly shows 0x004a2c80 routing the DT family and 0x004a34e0 routing the ST family, with both repeatedly calling 0x0048a1e0, branching on [this+0x226], selector bytes [this+0x219]/[this+0x251], bit 0x20 in [this+0x24c], and lookup tables 0x621a44..0x621a9c, then routing follow-on through 0x0048a340/0x0048f4c0/0x00490200/0x00490960. So the remaining infrastructure question is no longer “is there an upstream chooser?” but “how do the save-side classes select the DT versus ST chooser sibling, and then which lookup-table families inside that sibling map to the grounded 0x0002 / 0xff bridge class and the 0x0055 / 0x00 BallastCap class?”.

• Those lookup tables are decoded now too: 0x621a44/0x621a54 feed BridgeST caps/sections, 0x621a64 feeds TunnelST cap/section variants, 0x621a74/0x621a84 feed BridgeDT caps/sections, and 0x621a94 feeds TunnelDT variants, while fixed literals 0x5cb138/0x5cb150 are BallastCapDT/ST and 0x5cb168/0x5cb180 are OverpassDT/ST. So the remaining infrastructure question is no longer table discovery; it is the selector-byte mapping from [this+0x219]/[this+0x251]/[this+0x252] onto those decoded families and then onto the grounded 0x38a5 prefix classes.

• The top-level chooser meaning is grounded now too: within those paired DT/ST siblings, [this+0x226]==1 routes the bridge families, [this+0x226]==2 routes the tunnel families, and [this+0x226]==3 routes the overpass/ballast family, while bit 0x20 in [this+0x24c] selects the cap-oriented side over the section-oriented side. So the remaining infrastructure selector problem is below that top-level split: the exact [this+0x219]/[this+0x251] values that choose the decoded family entries and how those values surface in the save-side 0x38a5 classes.

• Those material selectors are grounded now too: within the bridge branch, [this+0x219] selects steel, stone, suspension, or wood, with value 2 taking the special suspension-cap path through [this+0x252]; within the tunnel branch, [this+0x251] selects brick versus concrete, while bit 0x20 chooses cap versus section by switching between the base and +0x8 table entry families. So the remaining infrastructure selector problem is no longer “what do these bytes mean?” but “how do those already-grounded selector values surface in the save-side 0x38a5 classes, especially the 0x0002 / 0xff bridge class and the 0x0055 / 0x00 BallastCap class?”.

• The exact setter seam is grounded now too: direct disassembly of 0x0048a340 shows its dword argument writing [this+0x226], its next two byte arguments writing [this+0x219] and [this+0x251], and its final byte argument toggling bit 0x20 in [this+0x24c]. So the remaining infrastructure selector problem is no longer about hidden intermediate state; it is specifically how those already-grounded setter values are serialized or rebuilt into the save-side 0x38a5 prefix classes.

• One selector byte is partly grounded now too: when [this+0x219]==2, the chooser jump tables stop using the general bridge families and instead route [this+0x252] through fixed BridgeDT/BridgeST suspension-cap literals for R10, L10, 12, 14, 16, and 18. So the remaining infrastructure selector problem is mostly [this+0x219]/[this+0x251] family choice plus the exact save-side class mapping for the BallastCap branch.

• The current real-save corpus also narrows the active side further: grounded q.gms, p.gms, g.gms, and nom.gms only expose ST-family side-buffer names, while classic rt3/ saves in this workspace currently expose no 0x38a5 side-buffer seam at all. So the save-driven part of the next infrastructure slice should assume it is exercising the ST chooser sibling directly, with DT still grounded statically but not yet exercised by the current save corpus.

• 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) now that the 0x55f3 payload is known to be fully consumed by the embedded profile collection on grounded real saves: the remaining blocker is no longer a hidden trailing payload tail, but finding the separate save-owner seam for 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. The newly grounded queue-node probe for the atlas-backed kind-7 notice records is a negative result on q.gms, p.gms, and Autosave.gms, so the next region pass should not assume that the transient [world+0x66a6] queue family is persisted in ordinary saves; the region trace now also carries the concrete queued/service owners (0x00422100, 0x004337c0, 0x00437c00, 0x004c7520, 0x004358d0, 0x00438710, 0x00420030/0x00420280, 0x0047efe0) so the next pass can focus on the missing saved latches and stable region id/class rather than on rediscovering the outer service family.

• Rehost or bound the next concrete region owner above the missing latches instead of treating the absent persisted queue as a stop: start with the checked-in owner strip 0x00422100, 0x004337c0, 0x00437c00, 0x004c7520, 0x004358d0, 0x00438710, 0x00420030/0x00420280, 0x0047efe0, and reduce it to the first true save-owned or rebuild owner that can explain [region+0x25e/+0x276/+0x302/+0x316] plus a stable region id/class. The region trace now ranks the current best hypothesis as the pending bonus service owner (0x004358d0) plus the peer/linkage strip (0x00420030/0x00420280, 0x0047efe0), with the transient producer/queue family explicitly secondary and the queued kind-7 modal dispatch kept as shell-adjacent reference only.

• For that top-ranked region strip, treat the next pass as three exact owner questions too: which restore seam re-seeds [region+0x25e] and clears [region+0x302/+0x316] before the grounded 0x00422100 -> 0x004358d0 producer/consumer cycle runs again, which stable region id or class discriminator survives save/load strongly enough to drive 0x004358d0, and how far the grounded city-connection peer/linkage helpers (0x00420030/0x00420280, 0x0047efe0) can be reused directly before the transient queued-notice family matters again.

• Targeted disassembly now tightens that strip too: 0x004358d0 calls 0x00420030 twice plus 0x00420280, then resolves the linked company through 0x0047efe0, posts company stat slot 4 on success, and stamps [region+0x302] or [region+0x316] while clearing [region+0x276]. 0x00420030 itself now reads as the real peer gate over collection 0x006cec20, combining 0x0042b2d0, the optional company filter through 0x0047efe0, the station-or-transit gate 0x0047fd50, and the status branch 0x0047de00 -> 0x0040c990; 0x00420280 is the same scan returning the first matching site id. So the remaining unknown is the persisted latch/id seam, not the live peer/service logic.

• The producer half is grounded now too: 0x00422100 filters for class-0 regions with [region+0x276]==0 and [region+0x302]==0, rejects already-connected pairs through 0x00420030(1,1,0,0), chooses one eligible candidate, buckets severity/source lane [region+0x25e] against the three checked thresholds, writes the resulting amount to [region+0x276], and appends the kind-7 queued notice through 0x004337c0. That means the remaining region gap is now explicitly the upstream restore seam for [region+0x25e] and the completion/fallback latch clear, not either side of the producer/consumer service pair.

• The severity/source lane itself is narrower now too: 0x004cc930 is a selected-region editor helper that writes [region+0x25a] and [region+0x25e] together from one integer input, while 0x00438150 and 0x00442cc0 are fixed-region global reseed/clamp owners over collection 0x0062bae0 that adjust the same mirrored pair for hardcoded region ids. So the remaining region restore question is no longer “what does [region+0x25e] mean?” but “which load/reseed seam restores the mirrored severity pair before the producer runs?”

• Two more direct-hit writer bands are now explicitly ruled out too: 0x0043a5a0 is a separate constructor under vtable root 0x005ca078 that zeroes its own [this+0x302/+0x316] fields during local object setup, and 0x0045c460/0x0045c8xx is a separate vtable-0x005cb5e8 helper family whose [this+0x316] is a child-array pointer serialized through 0x61a9/0x61aa/0x61ab. So those offset-collision classes should stay out of the remaining region restore search.

• The direct writer census is tighter now too: the other apparent 0x302/0x316 writer bands (0x0043dd45, 0x0043de19, 0x0043e0a7, 0x0043f5bc) all hang off that same non-region 0x005ca078 family through helpers 0x0043af60 and 0x0043b030. So the only grounded region-owned literal writes left are the constructor 0x00421200 plus the producer/consumer pair 0x00422100 and 0x004358d0, which means the remaining region seam should now be treated as an indirect restore/rebuild path rather than another direct offset writer hunt.

• The later post-load per-region sweep is narrowed too: in the broader 0x00444887 restore strip, the follow-on loop at 0x00444b90 dispatches 0x00420560 over each live region, but that helper only zeroes and recomputes [region+0x312] from the embedded profile collection [region+0x37f]/[region+0x383] and lazily seeds the year-driven [region+0x317/+0x31b] band through 0x00420350. It still does not touch [region+0x276/+0x302/+0x316], so that whole follow-on branch should stay out of the remaining latch-restore search too.

• The checked-in constructor owner 0x00421200 world_region_construct_entry_with_id_class_and_default_marker09_profile_seed now also grounds the initialization side of this family: it clears [region+0x276], [region+0x302], [region+0x316], and neighboring cached bands at construction time while seeding [region+0x25a/+0x25e] = 100.0f and [region+0x31b] = 1.0f. That means the remaining queue item is specifically post-construction restore or rebuild of the same latches, not their basic field identity.

• The next restore-side target is explicit now too: the checked-in function map already grounds 0x00421510 as the tagged region-collection load owner that dispatches each live region through vtable slot +0x40, and 0x0041f5c0 as the per-record load slot that reloads the tagged payload through 0x00455fc0 before rebuilding profile collection [region+0x37f]. So the next region pass should ask whether [region+0x276/+0x302/+0x316] are restored directly inside that payload load or rebuilt immediately after it, rather than treating “restore seam” as a generic unknown.

• Direct disassembly now closes that callback identity too: 0x0041f590/0x0041f5b0 prove the world-region vtable root is 0x005c9a28, so the 0x00455fc0 dispatch at slot +0x48 lands on 0x00455870 and the serializer sibling at +0x4c lands on 0x00455930. Those two callbacks only restore and serialize two helper-local three-lane scalar bands: 0x00455870 reads six dwords through 0x00531150 and forwards them to 0x00530720 -> [helper+0x1e2/+0x1e6/+0x1ea] and 0x0052e8b0 -> [helper+0x4b/+0x4f/+0x53], while 0x00455930 writes that same pair back through 0x00531030; they still do not touch acquisition-side lanes [region+0x2a4] or [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360], and they still do not touch [region+0x276/+0x302/+0x316]. That means the remaining region restore target is now the later owner that rebuilds those latches or the separate tagged body seam that persists them.

• The save-side region payload probe is wider now too: the checked-in region_record_triplets surface no longer stops at raw pre-name prefix bytes and now also emits structured prefix dword candidates per record, and the fixed 0x55f2 policy chunk now also carries structured reserved dword candidates instead of raw integers only. That gives the next region payload pass a direct way to compare both opaque payload bands against the remaining acquisition-side lane shapes instead of redoing raw hex inspection by hand.

• Grounded real-save output now narrows that new probe two steps further: on both p.gms and q.gms, every decoded region triplet currently still has pre_name_prefix_len = 0, an empty pre_name_prefix_dword_candidates vector, and fixed 0x55f2 policy reserved dwords are nonzero on 0 of 145 decoded region records. So the remaining acquisition-side payload target does not appear to live in either the pre-0x55f1 prefix band or the fixed 0x55f2 reserved dword band on grounded ordinary saves. That shifts the next region payload-comparison pass onto later body seams, not back onto the prefix or fixed-policy chunk.

• The new fixed-row run candidate probe pushes that same payload search one seam later, but it is not grounded yet: on both p.gms and q.gms it finds high-signal counted runs keyed to the live region count 145 with fixed row stride 0x29 before the tagged 0x5209/0x520a/0x520b region collection, yet the top candidate offset is not stable (p.gms = 0xd13239, q.gms = 0xd2d7d7). So the next region payload pass should compare candidate lane-shape fingerprints across saves rather than promoting any one absolute pre-header offset as the fixed restore seam.

• The new two-save runtime compare-region-fixed-row-runs <left.gms> <right.gms> report now does that comparison directly. Current result: p.gms vs q.gms has 0 exact shape overlaps, and the only coarse family overlaps are lower-ranked fully mixed candidates where every dword lane is still simultaneously small-nonzero and partially-zero. That means the fixed-row scan remains useful negative evidence, but it is still not honest to promote as the missing region restore seam; the next region pass should stay focused on later restore owners or a more selective row family discriminator above this mixed pre-header corpus.

• The rest of 0x00455fc0 is ruled down further now too: after the +0x48 callback it only runs 0x0052ebd0, which reads two one-byte generic flags through 0x531150 into base object bytes [this+0x20], [this+0x8d], [this+0x5c..+0x61], [this+0x1ee], [this+0x1fa], and [this+0x3e], and then it opens 0x55f3 only for span accounting before returning. So the missing region latches are not hiding in the remainder of 0x00455fc0 either.

• The next restore-handoff strip is explicit now too: the region trace now carries a dedicated later-global-restore hypothesis for 0x00444887, because that continuation is the first caller checkpoint above the ruled-down 0x00421510 -> 0x0041f5c0 -> 0x00455fc0 path. It immediately advances into 0x00487c20 territory refresh and 0x0040b5d0 support refresh, then later re-enters the per-region follow-on loop at 0x00444b90 -> 0x00420560. Current disassembly keeps 0x00420560 on the profile/class-mix scalar side only: it recomputes [region+0x312] from the embedded profile collection and linked placed-structure class mix, then seeds the year-driven [region+0x317/+0x31b] band through 0x00420350. So the next region pass should treat the broader 0x00444887 continuation as the live handoff seam when chasing [region+0x2a4] and [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360], not as just another generic restore note.

• That same continuation is slightly less symmetric now too: the atlas-backed territory side at 0x00487c20 currently restores only collection metadata/live ids and still uses no-op per-entry load/save callbacks 0x00487670/0x00487680, so the next pass should bias more heavily toward support refresh 0x0040b5d0 or the later region-local rebuild than toward territory payload as the hidden source of [region+0x2a4] and [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360].

• The support side is less opaque now too: the same atlas already bounds 0x0040b5d0 above support collection 0x0062b244, whose grounded live owners maintain goose-entry counters, neighboring world support lanes [world+0x4c9a/+0x4c9e/+0x4ca6/+0x4caa], and selected support-entry state rather than an obvious per-region acquisition latch family. So the next pass should now bias even more toward the later region-local rebuild beneath the 0x00444887 continuation, while still keeping 0x0040b5d0 as a weaker adjacent prerequisite rather than treating it as the primary hidden owner.

• The next owner family is narrower now too: the checked-in shell-load subgraph and function map place world_load_saved_runtime_state_bundle 0x00446d40 directly ahead of the post-load generation pipeline 0x004384d0, which is now the first explicit non-hook owner family above the ruled-down 0x00444887 continuation. The current grounded stage order is concrete enough to split the next static pass: 319 refreshes route entries, auxiliary route trackers, and then the placed-structure replay strip 0x004133b0; 320 runs the region-owned building setup strip 0x00421c20 -> 0x004235c0; and 321 runs the economy-seeding burst 0x00437b20 plus the cached region summary refresher 0x00423d30. That means the next region closure pass should chase this 0x004384d0 handoff family directly instead of treating the remaining [region+0x2a4] / [region+0x310/+0x338/+0x360] gap as a generic continuation below 0x00444887.

• The 319 lane is the strongest bridge inside that family: 0x004133b0 drains queued placed-structure ids through 0x0040e450, sweeps every live site through 0x0040ee10, and then reaches the already-grounded linked-site follow-on 0x00480710. The 320 and 321 lanes are still explicit but weaker: 0x00421c20 -> 0x004235c0 stays on region-side demand balancing and structure placement, while 0x00437b20 -> 0x00423d30 only refreshes the cached category band [region+0x27a/+0x27e/+0x282/+0x286]. So the next non-hook region work should start from the post-load 319 placed-structure replay seam and only then revisit the narrower region-side 320/321 branches if the exact field bridge is still missing.

• The later restore-side region owners are narrowed further now too: the 0x00421ce0 -> 0x0041fb00 -> 0x00421730 sweep is class-0 raster/id rebuild, 0x004881b0 is a companion region-set cell-count rebuild over [region+0x3d/+0x41], 0x00487de0 is a border-segment emitter over the world raster, and 0x0044c4b0 is the center-cell bit-0x10 reseed pass. So the next region slice should stop revisiting those later owners and stay focused on the still- missing save-owned latch / severity / stable-id seam.

• The later class-0 batch at 0x00438087 is narrowed now too: it walks live class-0 regions through 0x0062bae0, rescales the mirrored severity/source pair [region+0x25a/+0x25e] from the current value using world-side factors, clamps the result, and then hands the collection to 0x00421c20; it still does not touch [region+0x276/+0x302/+0x316].

• Its follow-on 0x00421c20 is bounded as a parameterized region-collection helper rather than a latch owner: it loops the same collection with caller-supplied scalar arguments, dispatches each record through 0x004235c0, and does not write the pending/completion/one-shot lanes directly.

• The subsequent world follow-ons are narrower too: 0x00437b20 only stages a world-side reentry guard at [world+0x46c38], iterates the live region collection through 0x00423d30, and tails into 0x00434d40, while 0x00437220 rebuilds broader world byte-set state around [world+0x66be/+0x69db] and other global collections. Those later branches should stay out of the remaining region latch-restore search too.

• The widened real-save region trace rules out one more false lead too: on grounded saves the 0x55f2 fixed-policy chunk keeps all three reserved dwords at 0x00000000 and the trailing word at invariant 0x0001, so that fixed chunk is not currently carrying the missing latch or stable region id/class discriminator either.

• 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, especially the semantics of the now-grounded compact 0x55f3 footer dword/status lane and the newly exposed separate tagged side-buffer seam candidates, especially the exact 0x38a5/0x38a6/0x38a7 family whose compact 6-byte header pattern and embedded placed-structure-style 0x55f1 name rows now make it the grounded placed-structure dynamic side-buffer owner; the remaining blocker is semantic closure of the compact prefix regimes now summarized in real saves as seven stable patterns on q.gms and their relation to the embedded 0x55f1/0x55f2/0x55f3 row subset, especially now that the side-buffer name-pair corpus is proven disjoint from the grounded 0x36b1 triplet name-pair corpus on q.gms; the next pass should treat 0x38a5 as a separate infrastructure-asset owner seam, not a compact alias over the triplet records.

• 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.
• Missing owner seams or dispatch mappings are not by themselves a stop condition when a targeted static-mapping pass or a higher-layer rehosted trace/evaluator surface can still narrow them further without guessing.
• 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

• rrt-runtime now exposes three higher-layer probe surfaces and matching CLI inspectors: runtime inspect-periodic-company-service-trace <save.gms>, runtime inspect-region-service-trace <save.gms>, and runtime inspect-infrastructure-asset-trace <save.gms>. These reports separate grounded outer owner inputs, runnable shellless branches, and explicit missing owner seams instead of leaving the current city-connection / linked-transit frontier as an opaque blocker.
• Those same probes now also sharpen the next queue choice on grounded real saves: the periodic company outer owner shows annual finance and route-preference override as grounded shellless branches while city-connection and linked-transit stay blocked on region/infrastructure owner seams; the region trace keeps the queued kind-7 notice family on the transient side; and the infrastructure trace now makes the 0x38a5 consumer-mapping blocker first-class after disproving any alias to the 0x36b1 placed-structure triplet corpus.
• The infrastructure trace now also carries one small atlas-backed static-analysis layer above that seam: bridge/tunnel/track-cap name-family counts from the real side-buffer corpus plus concrete consumer candidates rooted at the Infrastructure child attach/rebuild/serializer helpers and the later route/local-runtime follow-on owners. That means the next 0x38a5 pass can be targeted static mapping instead of another generic scan.
• The same 0x38a5 probe now also exports payload-envelope summaries directly instead of only flat name rows: policy/profile tag presence, dominant embedded 0x55f2 and 0x55f3 span lengths, and sampled row boundaries. That means the next pass can decode the short embedded 0x55f3 payload lane on top of already grounded row boundaries instead of rediscovering the same envelopes again.
• That same probe now also exports the grounded short trailing flag-byte pair summary for the dominant 0x06-byte rows, while the infrastructure trace carries the matching 0x0052ebd0/0x0052ec50 helper seam. That means the next pass can aim directly at how those flags combine with compact-prefix regimes and primary-child restore state instead of treating the short lane as anonymous payload.
• That same probe now also exports the fixed 0x55f2 six-dword policy samples and the grounded shared trailing word 0x0101 for all embedded rows, while the infrastructure trace carries the matching 0x00455870/0x00455930 helper seam. That means the next pass can focus on which of the two restored dword triplets actually bridge into child-count / primary-child state instead of rediscovering the fixed 0x55f2 row shape.
• The infrastructure trace now also carries the deeper 0x00530720/0x0052e8b0 bridge, so the next pass can focus on the outer payload-stream header and compact-prefix regimes instead of revisiting the fixed 0x55f2 six-dword row.
• That same trace now also ranks those consumers into explicit hypotheses, so the next infrastructure pass should start with the attach/rebuild strip instead of treating all candidate owners as equally likely.
• The region trace now also carries the corresponding atlas-backed candidate owner strip above the unresolved save latches, so the region frontier is now explicitly “missing persisted owner seam for [region+0x25e/+0x276/+0x302/+0x316] and stable region id/class,” not “unknown service family.”
• That same trace now also ranks those owners into explicit hypotheses, so the next region pass should start with the pending bonus service owner and peer/linkage strip rather than the queued modal family.
• 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.
• That same corrected region seam now also exposes repeated 0x55f1/0x55f2/0x55f3 serialized record triplets with len-prefixed names plus fixed policy/profile chunk lengths, so the next city-connection pass can target the real record envelope instead of another blind scan.
• The fixed 0x55f2 row inside each region triplet is now decoded structurally as three leading f32 lanes, three reserved u32 lanes, and a trailing u16 word, so the next save-region slice can focus on the larger 0x55f3 payload where the pending/completion/one-shot latches are most likely to live.
• The larger 0x55f3 payload now also exposes an embedded direct profile collection with grounded live-id/count headers, fixed 0x22-byte rows, profile names, and trailing weight scalars, so the remaining region work is on the unresolved payload fields above that collection rather than on the profile subcollection itself.
• Grounded real saves now also show that the region-side 0x55f3 payload has zero trailing padding beyond that embedded profile collection, so the remaining region blocker has shifted from “find the hidden tail inside this payload” to “find the separate owner seam that backs the runtime latches the city-connection branch still reads.”
• Save inspection now also exports a generic low-tag unclassified collection scan over plausible indexed-collection headers, now through a lightweight CLI path that does not require full bundle inspection and now filters out candidates nested inside already-grounded company/chairman/train/ region/placed-structure spans.
• That lightweight scan now also narrows the real save frontier to a much smaller stable candidate set across p.gms, q.gms, and Autosave.gms, with the exact 0x38a5/0x38a6/0x38a7 family standing out as the strongest current placed-structure dynamic side-buffer candidate.
• The 0x38a5/0x38a6/0x38a7 family now also has a first dedicated parser scaffold in rrt-runtime: its synthetic regression is grounded, its header shape is checked in, and the parser now expects a compact 6-byte prefix plus separator byte before an embedded placed-structure-style dual-name row rather than treating the family as anonymous residue.
• That exact 0x38a5/0x38a6/0x38a7 parser is now also wired through a lightweight CLI inspector and the normal save company/chairman analysis output, and grounded real saves now prove the same seam directly: q.gms exposes live_record_count=3865, prefix 0x0005d368/0x0001/0xff, and first embedded names TrackCapST_Cap.3dp / Infrastructure; p.gms exposes the same structure with live_record_count=2467.
• That same direct 0x38a5 probe now also samples multiple embedded name rows with their preceding compact prefixes, showing that the seam is not a one-off wrapper: grounded q.gms samples include repeated TunnelSTBrick_* names under Infrastructure with compact leading dwords like 0x000055f3 and 0xff0000ff, so the next pass can target the semantics of those compact prefix patterns instead of hunting the owner seam itself.
• The 0x38a5 probe now also summarizes all embedded compact prefix regimes instead of just the first few samples: grounded q.gms currently exposes seven stable pattern groups across 138 embedded rows, with the dominant 0xff000000/0x0001/0xff group carrying 62 bridge-section rows, the 0xff0000ff/0x0001/0xff and 0xf3010100/0x0055/0x00 groups concentrating cap-like rows, and a smaller 0x000055f3/0x0001/0xff group carrying 17 tunnel-section / cap rows whose leading dword matches the embedded placed-structure profile tag directly.
• The save-company/chairman analysis path now also compares that grounded 0x38a5 side-buffer name-pair corpus against the grounded 0x36b1 triplet name-pair corpus directly; on q.gms the overlap is currently zero (0/138 decoded side-buffer rows and 0/5 unique side-buffer name pairs match the 56-triplet corpus), which shifts the remaining placed-structure work away from “prove these are aliases” toward “find how the separate infrastructure-asset owner seam is consumed by city-connection / linked-transit service.”
• Save inspection now also has a dedicated probe for the atlas-backed region queued-notice node shape (payload seed 0x005c87a8, kind 7, zero promotion latch, region id, amount, -1/-1 tails), plus a matching lightweight CLI inspector. Grounded q.gms, p.gms, and Autosave.gms all currently return null, which is useful negative evidence: the transient region notice queue is not obviously persisted in these ordinary saves.
• The placed-structure tagged save stream now also exposes repeated 0x55f1/0x55f2/0x55f3 triplets with dual name stems, a fixed five-f32 policy row, and a compact 0x5dc1...0x5dc2 footer carrying one raw u32 payload lane plus one live i32 status lane, so the remaining placed-structure work is semantic closure of those owned fields rather than envelope discovery.
• That compact placed-structure i32 footer status lane is now partially grounded as owned semantics too: observed non-farm families stay at -1, while farm families use nonnegative 0..11 buckets that are now exported as farm growth-stage indices instead of opaque raw status residue.
• 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.
