debug.vehicle_spawn: holding both thumbsticks in for 1.5 s puts the next
vehicle the map has loaded (not the Pelican, dropship or lifepod) a few
metres ahead of the player, cycling through them.

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.
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.

Zero credit; every packet was independently adversarially reviewed (22/22 approved).
- critic_3: 72 renames of placeholder/invented static function names across 20
objects to first-party names. Each rename has Sept-2001 linker-map alignment
(cachebeta xbe / retail cache exe, several also Aug-2001), relocation-masked
body identity and matching callers; cachebeta publics show every row was a
January static. hs's radiosity_hack_{start,save,find_point}_evaluate pairing
is proven by the Sept .rdata hs_function_definition pointers; players'
create_weapon also matches HCEX.pdb. Objects: ai_debug (reviewer-amended: a
dead stub removed, its comment re-attached), transport_endpoint_winsock,
transport_endpoint_set_winsock (+ parked.json key renames), profile,
progress_bar, network_connection, saved_game_files, rasterizer_xbox_profile,
xbox_sound_cache, game_engine_king, players, hs, hs_runtime, main, decals,
rasterizer_lights, rasterizer_xbox_dynavobgeom,
rasterizer_xbox_environment_fog, rasterizer_xbox_hardware_bitmaps,
render_cameras.
- hs_compile: whitespace_characters, eol_characters and hs_type_primitive_parsers
are external (cachebeta publics, HCEX DataIsGlobal); hs_compile_finish is
static with a TU-local prototype (no public; HCEX static function).
- bink_playback: bink_playback_idle -> bink_playback_update__internal
(first-party). The bink_decompress_audio_frame rename is NOT landed: it needs
an added call whose position is unattested, the same class canonical held for
hardware_geometry in 4d1ebf17.
Gate (full ninja, objdiff 3.3.1): objects 383, code 1,577,237, data 2,586,915

- symbols.json: IDirect3DDevice8_IsBusy/KickPushBuffer and IDirect3DBaseTexture8_IsBusy
are static (D3DINLINE is static __forceinline; none is a cachebeta public).
- Three invented static names replaced by first-party names from the 2001-09-25
cachebeta-xbe linker map (atlas 7eacac85, re-anchored on 20 named symbols):
texture_cache_name_block_proc, compare (also January atlas exact tier) and
texture_cache_initialize_hardware_format.
- bitmap_group.h (shared, 45 includers): struct bitmap_data fields per HCEX
(mipmap_pad, long pixels_offset/pixels_size/tag_index/cache_block_index);
bink_playback.c and bitmaps.c adopt the names. The TU-local bitmap_data view
and raw tag_get('bitm') prefix view in xbox_texture_cache.c are gone.
- texture_cache.h declares texture_cache_debug_render (render_debug.c had no
prototype in scope). The Xbox-only public format mappers get the object's own
header cache/xbox_texture_cache.h. Adding them to texture_cache.h regresses
declaration-count-sensitive consumers (decals); this is disclosed in the header.
- Reviewer amendment: the invented pad member reserved006[2] in the TU-private
texture struct is removed (natural alignment; HCEX texture_datum has no pad).

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.
- _collision_bsp_test_vector_recursive: reads the leaf flags through the
typed tag-block macro inline (HCEA spelling)
- _collision_surface_find_closest_point2d: vector_from_points2d and
cross_product2d replace hand-expanded math, as the exact sibling
collision_surface_test_point2d does
- _ai_communication_update_speech_timers: includes the owner header
cseries/errors.h for error() and names the timer label
- _cached_map_file_read_header: the exact wait helper snapshots the
completion flag before returning, reproducing January's double volatile
load at both inlined sites; the still-parked _cache_files_open_cache_files
is re-measured (closer, non-exact)
- _update_client_local_ticks: countdown tick loop and a machine_index
local passed to both server calls (January calls the build helper out of
line, which a literal 0 argument does not reproduce; disclosed)
- _rasterizer_sort_external: plain indexed loops; the object's eight
file-private globals are static, as only this object uses them
Stable diff: 0 regressions; admission 28 candidates / 0 contradicted;
active parks 201 -> 195.

symbols.json renames the _bss_004d1198 placeholder in place to
_texture_cache_debug_bitmaps (static), the name xbox_texture_cache.c
already declares for its only user; the name is descriptive and marked
provisional in the source (house rule 8 forbids the bss+address form).
The debug listing computes both tab stops from frame_bounds.x0, as
January's bytes do. Full ninja + stable diff: +1 function (784 B),
0 regressions; active parks 220 -> 219.

- _connected_geometry_add_triangle: declare+init, short-index for loops
with the modulo edge neighbour, single-exit NONE result
- _render_inverse_transform_screen_point in xbox_texture_cache and
xbox_sound_cache: add_vectors3d(frustum apex, global_zero_vector3d)
replaces the hand-expanded origin sum (both park reopens; select-any
_add_vectors3d COMDAT, A30 class). The static helper's January register
convention returns at both callers; their fuzzy parks
_texture_cache_debug_render and _sound_cache_debug_render are
re-measured (non-exact before and after, objdiff slightly closer).
Stable diff: 0 regressions; active parks 222 -> 220.

Wave w1 landing, adversarially verified. park reopens: _cache_copy_update_write_buffers, _cache_copy_get_status, _acquire_read_request. Full build of the combined batch: 54 strict gains / 29,440 padded, 0 regressions, parks 355/0/0. 3 park(s) removed.

Retain 18 strict exact-function gains across Actions, Actor Combat, Decals, Game Engine, Object Lights, and Bipeds after removing donor bodies that regressed exact objects, emitted unowned code, or violated source-credibility rules. Name authenticated private symbols, move declarations to owner headers, record honest residual parks, and preserve units.obj at 189/189.
