The virtual keyboard kept its keyboard tag from the main menu's map after
that map was unloaded, so Change Name in Settings from a game's pause
menu opened it on a stale tag and the game stopped. The keyboard is now
let go with the old map's interface, as its tags are; at the main menu it
is set up again, and in a game Change Name does nothing.
(cherry picked from commit 4c05c5b3237330669f55c2bdb123b7cde4e4e056)
display.latency_meter (HALO_LATENCY_METER, default false) shows this
machine's round trip to the host at the screen's top right while a network
game is played: "Ping 45 ms" with four bars drawn as quads, green below
80 ms, yellow below 150, red from 150. The host shows "Max ping", its
slowest client's. A client that has heard nothing from the host for two
seconds shows "Connection problem", pulsing; the host logs a client silent
as long. It is not drawn in the menus, after the game, over a co-op
cutscene (but a connection problem), or when the host plays alone. It is a
setting, off, because the stock HUD has no such meter; only in config.toml.
Nothing more is sent, so the network version stays 29. The meter reuses
the round trips the distributed netcode already takes: the host each
client's from the host tick its input names, a client its own from the
client tick the host's state of its player (or, driving, its vehicle)
names. Those are counted in ticks; the meter times the same echoes in
milliseconds by when this machine sent the tick they name (the last 64
ticks' send times kept), smoothed as TCP smooths its own. A client also
notes when the host's latest message came. All machines, system link,
internet play's tunnel and a browser's WebRTC channel alike, carry these
messages, so the meter reads the same over each. What is shown is
refreshed in the tick twice a second, and only with the setting on;
halo.log then has the round trips every ten seconds ("latency: ...") and
each connection problem as it starts and ends.
Ported from the Halo CE for PS Vita port (BirchWoodGod, contributed under
CC0), where it is on by default.
Checked: Linux debug and release, web and Android debug and release
build; tools/network_format.py: the wire format is the one recorded. A
system link host and joiner in a network namespace with netem's 40 ms each
way: the meter read 89-123 ms on the joiner and 94-128 ms on the host (80
ms of network and each machine's wait for its next tick); all traffic
dropped for 5 s: "Connection problem" on the joiner after
2247 ms, the host "Max ping 2980 ms" in red and its log "machine 1 silent
for 2190 ms", both heard again after the blackout. On loopback with no
delay: 25-35 ms. With the setting off, the game logs the same lines as
origin/main (numbers apart) and config.toml differs only by the new
setting.

Hosts send players who join without the game's Custom Edition map the map
and the resource maps it needs; the other players help, torrent-style.
Network version 27: new map sharing messages, and players of an internet
game now reach each other.
Import only independently reviewed production changes. Preserve canonical physics and virtual-keyboard repairs; keep B3 and all unresolved holds out.
Record exactly four approved canary debits (6987 meaningful bytes), six Halo admissions and two revocations. Keep vendor ioinit/storage work separate. Full build, 8252-row sweep, 1318 tests, park/admission/fake audits and 621-object binding pass within approved debit bounds.
Do not publish donor research dumps or private assets. README and unrelated user research remain untouched. See frontier_publication_reconciliation_20260927.md for complete evidence limits and accounting.
Independently gate storage + K, OQ-4 P-a/P-b1, four static-local packets and comment-only disclosures. Preserve all 7641 exact owner rows, 71 valid parks and 1161 passing tests; code/data credit unchanged. G and game_engine admission remain held because current canonical loses populate_statistic_buffer. Existing collision static-local repair is not duplicated. No donor tree, held candidate, scorer or private asset imported.
Integrate verified source and data progress; exclude unproven COMMON ownership, held UB/asm forms, and address-named data credit. Stable sweep: 23 exact functions gained, zero lost.
bitmap_group.h: signed depth/mipmap_count and union point2d registration_point (HCEA types, January movsx reads and whole-point copies), respelled in its four consumers. bitmaps_mipmap.h declares bitmap_get_max_mipmap_count (fixes an implicit declaration); bitmap_group_internal.h declares bitmap_group_add_bitmap (bitmap_group.h placement regressed decals by declaration count). bitmap_compress_to_mipmap takes the transparent-colour reference pointer January passes. Header renames and their consumers are one measured packet. Unparks _extract_add_bitmap, _extract_build_debug_plate, _extract_mipmaps_to_bitmap, _extract_pixels_from_mipmap, _extract_pixels_to_mipmap (+4,544 padded); re-baselines parked _bitmap_group_add_bitmap (same 992/59). Adversarially verified; 45 bitmap_group.h consumers rebuilt, 0 regressions.
