Lane P wrote the expected numbers into sots-engine docs/P-events-wiring.md §4 before
this run existed. Every one held.
First End Turn (ref-turn2 -> Launch -> End Turn, shim.cfg.recapb3 unchanged, build
eventlive-dd38117-20260908T0916Z, main dd38117 with no source change): 3 calls, 3
compared, 0 divergent, tracecmp exit 0 — where lane R's run exited 1 on
side.events.after.v.next_id orig=4 ours=3. Call 0 read turn=3,
events_turn_bucket_exists=true, events_next_id_in=3, events_in_turn_bucket=1,
events_dedup_risk=0, no events_scan_truncated, next_id 3->4 on both sides,
turns/turns_bytes 2/48 unchanged, node[144].progress 2879->5768, flag 1->2, rng
identical — the whole predicted list.
Five End Turns: exit 1 with 2 divergent calls instead of 3, each short by exactly 1
(next_id orig 7 ours 6, orig 12 ours 11) = the deliberately unmodelled
EVENT_TECHS_UNLOCKED. A 0-divergence result there would have been suspicious.
sizeof(Game::ObservedTech) = 44 measured live: observed_techs.bytes grew by exactly
44 on both completion calls (440->484, 484->528), confirming lane X's static pin
behaviourally. Non-researching players measured 880 = 20 x 44 and never moved.
One deviation from lane R, and it is a workload effect, not a defect: rng diverged on
call 9 because the completed tech had research_roll_pending set and the
OnTechResearched callback drew one word ours does not (left 374 vs 375). Lane R's
"RNG matched 15 of 15" was workload luck; the honest statement is that the rng region
matches on every call that does not complete a roll-triggering tech.
Zuul double roll CLOSED. No species-5 save existed, so this lane made one: a custom
game with only Zuul in the Available Species pool, 4 End Turns under the same compare
config. 8 calls, 8 compared, 0 divergent, exit 0; all four researching calls have
species=5 and advance the generator by two, not one (left 540->538, 522->520,
504->502, 485->483), and ours reproduced every post-state bit-for-bit. Save added as
verify/results/saves/zuul-turn5-species5.sav.
End-Turn oracle byte-identical to lane R's on the first turn, so none of this
perturbs the game. clean_room_check OK and host ctest 33/33, run as separate commands.
VM140 restored to the recap build at the main menu and released.
Marks the fpu_cw sensitivity row verified with the result and the correction to
the briefed control-word values, annotates the state-checksum and determinism-
oracle rows, and sets VM140 exclusivity back to FREE with the lane-F gotchas
(the >60 s startup is real and cost a wasted run; pin the SavedGames file set so
the Load dialog rows do not move; PowerShell-over-SSH quoting).
NOTE: campaign/board.md is shared and was already modified in the working tree
when lane F started, so this commit also carries another lane's in-flight rows
for ObservedTech / std::string. Those are not lane F's edits.
Ghidra does not index ModRM displacements, so `lea reg,[reg+disp]` -- the MSVC
idiom for taking a member's address -- is invisible to find-constant-uses. That
blind spot parked ServerPlayer+0x274 and covers every non-trivial member of the
~1,600 classes still to map.
tools/x86disp.py: full x86-32 length decoder (prefixes, 1/2/3-byte opcodes,
ModRM, SIB, sign-extended disp8, disp32, every immediate form) swept from
Ghidra's 41,089 function starts so decodes begin on real instruction boundaries.
2,174,504 instructions, 612,166 displacement sites, 100.0% code coverage, 70
desyncs (0.17%), zero unknown opcodes. Excludes no-base disp32 forms
(mod=0/rm=5, sib.base=5) which are absolute globals, not member offsets.
Commands: build/query/cohort/func/dis/stats/brute. Works off a gitignored local
cache in dumps/ rather than hammering CT111.
Validated before use: re-finds lea eax,[ecx+0x29c] in ServerPlayer::GetEventStorage
(0x0080db00) and both known OnTechResearched +0x29c sites, plus a new one in
ProcessTurn. Positive control: the ServerPlayer serializer scores 50/50 known
offsets.
sizeof(Game::ObservedTech) = 0x2c (44), proven three ways: the exact magic
divide 0x2e8ba2e9 sar 3 at 0x0087239f, imul reg,reg,0x2c at 0x0087243a and
0x007b735b, and the search stride add edi,0x2c at 0x007ba257.
Append site: RecordObservedTech+0xdf (0x007ba27f) --
lea ecx,[player+0x274]; call vector_ObservedTech_push_back 0x007b7320
RecordObservedTech (0x007ba1a0) is a direct callee of OnTechResearched and
de-duplicates by tech name before appending. The realloc through 0x007b5820 is
why lane R's guard saw all three vector words move. Element carries a vptr
(RTTI .?AVObservedTech@Game@@) at +0 and a 0x18-byte std::string at +0x0c; the
four on-disk ints map onto +0x04/+0x06/+0x08/+0x24/+0x28 in an order this read
does NOT determine, and is not guessed.
Also corrects harness-audit row 11: ComputeBudget has no store to Budget+0x64
(its only +0x64 accesses are loads off a different base), and ProcessResearch's
int* overbudget arg is a ProcessTurn stack local, not Budget+0x64. Agrees with
lane R's guard seeing 0 changes in 4284 calls.
Honest limits are recorded in the note and the board: this is a recall tool, not
an oracle. Class-level precision at 0x274 is ~13% by function, i.e. a ~900x
search-space cut that still needs one call-graph check. Cohort ranking must not
be used as a hard filter -- it would have discarded the correct answer here.
Ghidra writeback: labels + plate comments on RecordObservedTech,
vector_ObservedTech_push_back, ObservedTech_ctor, vector_ObservedTech_assign,
vector_44B_grow, vftable_ObservedTech.
The mechanism, read off the instruction stream rather than fitted: Mars_Vec3_Normalize
(0x00422520, 123 callers) narrows to float32 four separate times, and MoveFleet stores
each dest.c - pos.c back to a float32 slot before calling it and takes the leg distance
from that same call's return value. Live 8/45 -> 0/45 with a control run of the unchanged
build, identical inputs and identical original outputs on all 45 calls.
Board: the two MoveFleet rows go verified; VM140 exclusivity back to FREE with two new
click-path gotchas; a new backlog row for waypoint types 2-5, which this lane attempted
and could not reach - ref-turn2 structurally cannot produce a node-line move because the
only player that would travel one has no ships.
(Most of this lane's files were swept into 9d385a7 by another lane's `git add -A` on the
shared repo; this commit carries what was left.)
The complement to the per-function compare harness. Instead of "did this
function's declared outputs match", it asks "is the entire simulation state
still identical" -- so no region-declaration mistake can hide from it.
Coverage is PROVED, not declared: the digest tree is re-serialised and compared
byte-for-byte against the inflated save on every run. When that reconstruction
reproduces the stream, the whole file is a function of the digest's inputs. A
run that cannot account for the file says so and exits non-zero. This is the
direct answer to B4's three hooks that printed "0 diverged" over an empty
region set.
It localises. The root is the fold of a per-subsystem / per-object tree with
named objects, so the known load->re-save delta reports as exactly five leaves
-- /Summary/Checksum and four /Sim/players/Player[...]/Status 4->0 -- naming the
two Singularity players by id where the raw byte diff could only say "1st of
two". One real End Turn reports as 108 fully attributed differences.
Float-parity policy is explicit and strict by default (STATE_CHECKSUM.md 3):
raw IEEE-754 bits; a `canonical` policy for signed zero and NaN payloads only;
and deliberately NO tolerant hashing mode, because quantisation moves the cliff
rather than removing it and destroys the roll-up. Tolerance lives in the differ
as --ulps, applied after localisation. Corpus census: 0 NaN, 0 -0.0, 0
subnormals across 4,474 float leaves, so the strict default costs nothing today
and a test fails the day that changes.
Validated on the real saves (verify/results/state-checksum/): 10 files, 4
distinct contents, all STABLE + COVERED; chain record/verify works on the real
turn1-3 saves. The VM-driven replay loop is designed (section 5) but UNRUN.
Section 3.5 names the one question the host side cannot settle -- whether the
turn pipeline depends on x87 intermediate precision -- and the experiment that
would: force fpu_cw to 0x027f / 0x127f / 0x137f across End Turn and checksum
the three autosaves.
Also recorded: Summary.Checksum is NOT a byte sum over the inflated stream nor
a sum over the int leaves (both ruled out), so nobody repeats those two.
38 tests; sots-engine untouched, clean_room_check.sh OK.
Five hooks recaptured, build recap-7584bad-20260908T0615Z, no source change.
- ProcessResearch: the over-budget event is now a compare divergence
(side.events.after.v.next_id orig=4 ours=3) instead of a 609 KB save diff.
15 calls over 5 turns, 3 diverged, RNG matched 15/15.
- ComputeBudget: 4284 compared, 0 diverged, guard quiet - but only 20 distinct
states and 13 of 22 slots always zero.
- MoveFleet: 8 of 45 calls diverge by 1 ULP of position. B4's clean verdict was
a one-sample verdict.
- First guarded captures for OnTechResearched (RollResearchEvent draw fired and
matched), the colony turn and MoveFleet.
- Guards mapped SetResearched live and found an undeclared ObservedTech append.
VM140 released at the main menu, hooks=trace.
Closes B3's oracle gap and B2's known gap. Both milestones write into the
owner's event list; nothing modelled it, so their clean compares bounded the
economy fields only.
Container: EventStorage embedded at ServerPlayer+0x29c (0x1c bytes), verified by
ServerPlayer::GetEventStorage 0x0080db00 whose whole body is 'lea eax,[ecx+0x29c];
ret'. EvNxID at +0x14 == player+0x2b0, exactly the byte run the harness guard
reports. The list is a vector<TurnEvents{int EvTurn; vector<PlayerEvent>}> --
bucketed by turn, not flat, which the save-editor struct note had wrong.
Entry point: int __thiscall EventStorage::PostEvent(this, std::string BY VALUE,
std::string BY VALUE, void* obj, Vector3* pos, int turn, const char* img,
int act), 0x008862b0, RET 0x4c. 161 call sites in 110 functions: this is the
whole simulation's event API, not a research helper. Dedup is per turn bucket on
message/image/location/position/action but NOT summary; act 0 with no subject and
no position is stored as 2; EvNxID starts at 0 and is promoted to 1 on first post;
PruneOldTurns drops buckets older than turn-50 with an off-by-one that always
leaves one stale bucket behind.
Record: 0x74 bytes, EvEID(+4) EvDsc(+8) EvMsg(+0x24) EvLoc(+0x40) EvPos(+0x44)
EvImg(+0x50) EvAct(+0x6c) EvCID(+0x70) -- confirmed field by field against
turn3-state.sav, which contains the EVENT_RESEARCH_OVERBUDGET record itself.
B3's defect is fully explained: 0x00587b97, reached only from the
completion-roll-FAILED branch, under !wasDone && nowDone && owner.
Three note corrections: EvPos defaults to FLT_MAX, not infinity (writing +inf
changes the save bytes); the save array is turn-bucketed, not flat;
EVENT_TECHS_UNLOCKED has no 'parent researched' clause.
56 entries added to ghidra/addresses.json (header regenerated); 11 prototypes,
13 labels, 12 comments and 2 structs written back to the Ghidra project.
