The frames between ticks are placed by the game clock, which the main loop
stepped by its own measure (the performance counter) of each pass. That
pass also holds the game's tick and the drawing, which wander by
milliseconds from frame to frame (game 6 to 9 ms on the device), so what
moves steadily was drawn at uneven places between the ticks: cutscene pans
and flying banshees juddered (reported worn). The runtime's frame is now
begun at the top of the loop (vr_frame_seconds) and the clock steps from
the last frame's predicted display time to this one's, whole periods; the
loop's own measure stays for when there is no runtime frame.
A frame with one player and no cinematic renders the player's window
three times in render_frame's window loop: the left and right eyes, each
from the game's camera turned by its heading and moved by the tracked
eye (vr.world_scale, head reach limited to 0.35 m), with OpenXR's
off-centre field as render_camera_build_frustum's bounds, and each
copied into its swapchain image as it finishes; then the HUD alone on a
transparent ground, shown head-locked (vr.hud_distance, vr.hud_width).
What moves on as it draws does so once a frame: the sky's animation
phase, weather and glow particles run for the left eye only, and the
first-person weapon is posed once, from the head between the eyes. The
fog's screen layers, which assume a symmetric frustum, are left out of
the eyes.

Recover transparent geometry submit (+1,285 meaningful code, zero exact losses); reconcile COMMON ownership and Q10 85+EXT1 credit, actions/main data, and separately disclosed denominator corrections. Preserve canonical-only repairs and all held research. C09 is ordinary disclosed cleanup, not a claim of proven scaffolding intent. Clean rebuild, 1,663 tests, parks, audits, provider links and independent EXT1 check pass. Local reconciliation only.
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Do not publish donor research dumps or private assets.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.
Source from Claude donor d18a7cee; independent stock and W3 builds, full build and stable sweep: +11 meaningful /16 padded Halo code, +1796 data, zero exact losses. 1161 tools tests pass. No declaration-batch or general UB exception.

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.
Independently reconcile W7 from 26684ca8: +1440 credited/padded bytes, 117 relocations, no new helpers or runtime owners. Retire only main_update_time's park in the same commit. Full build, stable board sweep with zero regressions, ownership/admission, warnings, fake scan and 1161 tests pass. No scorer or header changes.
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.

- rasterizer_xbox_dynavobgeom (admission, reviewer-amended): genuine shared
declarations replace the caller-local debug-options, window and pixel-shader
views; /Od-attested vector_from_points3d/dot_product3d calls and HCEX locals
in the unlit draw; the HCEX function-static `warned` latch; MAX() for the
/Od ?: store; nine D3DINLINE wrappers static per cachebeta; rejection retired.
- damage (reviewer B+): _object_damage_body exact (1360); four statics per
cachebeta; park retired. The AOE header-helper form (patch A) stays held.
- players: January-static storage (3 rows) plus the COMMON tentative
definitions of players_globals/team_data (January linker_common records).
- hs: 839 January-static storage flags and the /Od-attested static helper
hs_enumerate_scenario_data replacing 11 hand expansions (reviewer-amended;
the real_random_range cleanup stays held with the P1 class).
- hs_scenario_definitions: first-party static byte_swap_script_syntax_data.
- player_profile (HCEX profile_color_table) and main (/Od main_exit shape):
reviewed zero-credit packets; three parks re-baselined.

Lane D refresh packet 4: systems, +3,984 padded bytes strict exact
(11 functions), zero stable-verdict regressions; stack_walk_windows.obj is
now a whole-object code match (16/16).
- stack_walk_windows.c: _walk_up, _is_valid_ebp, _walk_stack,
_walk_stack_context and _stack_walk_with_context exact. The debug build
attests `if (ignore_levels) while (--ignore_levels) walk_up();`, the
global re-reads and the four instruction-byte locals.
- main.c: _compute_subframe_counts (debug-build byte local and ?: column
test) and _main_game_render (PIN, goto-free player-window assignment).
- bink_playback.c: _bink_draw_frame (the ((index+1)&2) corner idiom used by
interface.c and hud_draw.c; debug locals scoped to the debug block).
- draw_string.c: _parse_string; styled_font_get takes (font_index, style)
per the debug build's parameter homes.
- prime_numbers.c: _primegen as a plain sieve.
- transport_endpoint_set_winsock.c: _add_endpoint_to_set single exit.
fake_match_scan flags its listening-bit test as identical branches; the
debug build has two separate FD_SET expansions under the same test and
January's bytes carry the test, so the shape is original (commented).
_poll_endpoint_set moves to the target's 560-byte size (fuzzy 72.3% ->
98.5%); its park is re-measured in place.
- parked.json: unpark the six newly exact parked functions; refresh
_poll_endpoint_set.
Gate: ninja PASS, parks 134 active / 0 stale / 0 invalid, admission 0
contradicted / 0 revoked, castcheck clean; fake scan adds only the
adjudicated identical-branches lead.

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.
- _main_load_last_solo_map: MIN clamp on the terminator index (house rule 18)
- _main_get_window_count: named single-window predicate and a PIN of the
local player count (reopens its park)
- _observer_update_command: timer/last-timer/flag pointer walk mirroring
the exact sibling observer_update_velocities (reopens its park)
Rejected: _observer_update_positions (same-value carrier copy of
remaining_time), _main_crash (January writes through a null pointer),
_effect_generate_part (mismatched csprintf varargs).
Stable diff: 0 regressions; parks 236 -> 234.

Five bodies landed together (set_window_camera_values alone drifts the main_update_time park); adds the genuine player_effects.h include. 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.

Reconstruct _main_loop from the exact Claude packet using semantic helper names, authentic types, and owner-header prototypes. Keep collision timing declarations behind the collision debug/log boundary so units.obj remains exact.
