The Xbox game state (0x345000 bytes at 0x80061000) ends exactly where the
map-linked tag cache begins and has 948 bytes free, so a 128-player
session cannot even allocate its player datums. The native builds now
place a 16 MB game state (CPU 0xFC0000, GPU 0x40000) at 0x81A00000, above
the tag cache and below everything the Xbox memory window hands out
top-down, and grow the pools that scale with the number of players:
- objects: 2048 -> 8192 headers, 1 MB -> 8 MB pool; the garbage limits
keep January's proportions (5/10/20 % of the pool, 2.5/5/10 % of the
headers, 75/50/30 active garbage objects per 16 players)
- cluster partition reference lists 2048 -> 8192 (collideable and
noncollideable objects, lights); a full list drops objects out of
rendering, collision and sphere queries
- effects 256 -> 2048, effect locations 512 -> 4096
- particles 1024 -> 8192 (render_particles' visible list, filled without
a bound check, follows), particle systems 64 -> 256, their particles
512 -> 4096
- contrails 256 -> 1024, contrail points 1024 -> 8192
(MAXIMUM_CONTRAIL_POINTS stays the pool size for the same reason)
- lights 896 -> 4096, object looping sounds 1024 -> 4096
- cached object render states and rendered objects 256 -> 1024
- script object-list references 128 -> 1024, objects one explosion can
damage 64 -> 256
The values live in port/linux/include/halo_port_capacity.h, included by
halo_port_limits.h. With 128 player datums the CPU part holds 14,256,908
bytes (2,258,164 free). Saved games and cores grow to 16 MB. Every change
is under HALO_LINUX; the MSVC objects are unchanged.

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.
Wave w3d batch 1 (the structural retarget: census the frame, the [ebp+/-N] slots
and the relocations before proposing any shape).
- action_vehicle _action_vehicle_evaluate_seat (+976): the unit called
vehicle_specific_definition_get through a C4013 implicit declaration; including
its genuine owner units/vehicle_definitions.h fixes the call, and January's
single-exit shape puts the three seat points in the taken branch's own block
instead of behind an early return.
- input_xbox _input_update_analog_button_state (+48): park reopened and removed.
- effects _effect_allowed_by_environment and _effect_generate_particles: coupled
A8 callee/caller re-baseline, ZERO credit. Both are now January-exact in padded
size (and relocation count for the caller) and stay parked and fuzzy; the
remeasures carry dated evidence in config/parked.json.
Full ninja, parks 277 active / 0 stale / 0 invalid, stable diff vs
scratch/claude250k-start.json: gained 3 / 1,824 bytes, regressions 0; fake scan
0 leads.

Natural if/else polarity and result locals; generate_particles park re-measured after correcting its per-instance particle loop to January behaviour (evidence appended). 5 park(s) removed. Adversarially verified (wave D park re-investigation); full build of the combined wave D set: 0 regressions, parks 402/0/0.
