# Campaign board
Status flow: `backlog → in-progress → mapped → verified` (or `blocked`).
`verified` requires re-verifier evidence. Maintained by **re-quartermaster**.

Resume recipe + tools in verify/harness/profiling/ |
| UI screen & flow map | meta | mapped | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | findings/subsystems/ui-screen-map.md - 36 screens; screens are C++ on Mars controls (NOT data); turn state machine recovered |

| P2-M2 manifest/id registry | phase2 | verified | high | 80% | 2026-09-08 | LIVE: trace 22 calls (tracecmp 0); weapons compare 1/1 0 divergences; REPLACE+oracle byte-identical with our weapon loader feeding the game. Proves 123 weapon ids == manifest, DELETED lines are comments, dict sorted by _stricmp on name, +0x14 layout fix correct. GAP: section dictionary is TRACE-ONLY - ours crashes the engine in compare mode (leads in docs/M2.md; hooking LoadSection is the next boundary) |
| P2-M3 Mars brace-block parser | phase2 | backlog | — | 0% | 2026-09-07 | Mars::Script pull tokenizer (Open 0x008cd7d0, ReadToken 0x008cd2f0, Next 0x008cd3e0, SkipBlock 0x008cd4b0); whitespace-only delimiting, quotes " ' ` no escapes, EOF ends, stray } ignored, LAST PAIR W/O TRAILING NEWLINE DROPPED; consumers = _stricmp if/else chains (WeaponDef::ParseScript 0x00599070, SectionDef::ParseScript 0x005744e0, MasterTechTree::ParseTech 0x0058b050). .effect = Mars::TextFileStream (Open 0x008cfb90) |

| compare harness | verify | mapped | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | verify/harness/compare/: TRACE_FORMAT.md, tracecmp.py, replay, oracle bridge |
| engine: mars/parse | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | sots-engine: brace-block + .effect readers; oracle 1531/1531; cross-compiles i686; wired into host+shim builds |
| engine: mars/text | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | flat-kv, id-manifest, csv; oracle 64/64 (Strings.csv 5722 rows); ctest green |
| engine: game/sim formulas | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-08 | sim-pin merged: all 5 low-confidence formulas pinned (3.3 on protection limit, old-state bankruptcy decisions, hazard curve, money tail, pop bonus); tests 356->466; + game/effects (196 TechIds, 44 typed effects, 254 checks) |
| engine: mars/stream + rng | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | merging: 100% exact dump agreement on 3 saves; typed shapes round-trip byte-identical whole file; RNG = seed(RSeed)+2 twists confirmed; 4 tag-name fixes for SAVE_FORMAT |
| engine: game/data catalogs | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | merged: WeaponDef/ShipSectionDef/TurretTable/IdRegistry/TechTree/StringTable + cross_check; oracle 229,042 values 0 diffs; crosslink set reproduced exactly; 34 malformed shipped tokens pinned |
| engine: mars/vfs (gob) | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | merged: ZIP reader + native override; 8352+2035 entries = unzip -l; all 10268 files CRC-clean; byte-equal spot checks; ctest 11/11 |
| determinism oracle | verify | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | BYTE-IDENTICAL across 5 runs incl. cross-process: (Autosave).sav 978041ac…, (Autosave EndTurn).sav bb4fd9ac…; gzip MTIME=0; only loaded-post-turn re-save differs (Player.Status 4->0, Summary.Checksum). findings/subsystems/determinism-oracle.md |
| engine: shim trace/compare emitter | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | merged (sots-engine 9e110b4): emitter byte-exact vs mkfixture, tracer, snapshot/diff, Hook<Descriptor>; ctest 18/18; tracecmp exits 0/1/2 as specified; shim links |
| engine parity: first-wins keys + tokenizer rules | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | merged: Mars::Script tokenizer rules, first-wins keys, trailing-pair drop in mars/parse+mars/text AND Python oracle; oracles 1531/1531, 64/64; only real-data effects: 2 dropped trailing pairs (engine uses defaults), systemnames.txt nesting |
| save-format tag corrections | verify | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | byte-confirmed at offsets (otnF x62, nextid, FAIDes/DHide/DWep/DName x43, ords, wpts, paths); reader A()-matches them; 36 tests; strict 3/3, infos 259->197; SAVE_FORMAT §10 changelog |
| tech effects (code-defined) | subsystem | mapped | high | 90% | 2026-09-07 | findings/subsystems/tech-effects.md: g_TechIdNames 196 @0x009ff9e4 (TechId=10000+i), effects in ServerPlayer::OnTechResearched 0x00891790; SpeciesDef table 0x00b10a00; 36 strategic / ~45 gates / ~115 none. Feeds game/sim + game/data |
| strategic formula gaps | subsystem | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | findings/subsystems/formula-gaps.md: all 8 answered with code (bankruptcy 3.3 on BnkPr, linear hazard, money tail, pbon, slider, [6] net, no speed clamp, decay hits current) |
| engine: game/design | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-07 | merged; see ShipDesignDef row |
| P2-B1 ComputeBudget (behavioral) | phase2 | verified | high | 90% | 2026-09-08 | LIVE + GREEN: 4,623 calls traced, 4,437 compared 0 divergences (all 8 End-Turn calls identical on 22 slots), REPLACE fed the game its budget for a full turn and the End-Turn oracle reproduced byte-for-byte. Corrections: out-param is int[22] not int[25] (next 3 words are a std::vector); researchMoneyKept only charged with a research target (real bug). Coverage: 8 slots verified on varied values, 8 slots always 0 in this save (expenses/aid/debt tail UNTESTED), 6 are inputs by construction |
| P2-B2 OnTechResearched (behavioral) | phase2 | in-progress | — | 0% | 2026-09-08 | offline lane (no VM): hook ServerPlayer::OnTechResearched vs src/game/effects; per-field regions; static-first per B3's lesson. Builds /srv/re-lab/build/sots-engine-b2, stages dist-b2. Coverage risk: few/no tech completions in the reference End Turn -> host tests over the whole effects table |
| P2-B3 ProcessResearch (behavioral, RNG) | phase2 | in-progress | med | 70% | 2026-09-08 | CODE-COMPLETE (engine 3ebc8bf), dist-b3 staged. Static analysis found 5 REAL BUGS in our code: draw = y/(2^32-1) not y*2^-32 (constant 1/4294967295; compare could NOT have caught this - 0 decision flips in 1e6); NextInt is [0,n] INCLUSIVE by pointer; spend has no floor at 0; odds/roll/ratio are float32 not double; decay constants are widened float literals. ProcessResearch arg2 = the RNG object. ctest 26/26. NEEDS VM window (queued behind M2) |
| RNG signatures (Ghidra) | meta | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-08 | Seed/Twist/NextFloat verified (own pass) + NextInt pinned by B3: [0,n] inclusive, bound by pointer. Draw mapping = y/(2^32-1). Lazy twist, left@+0x9c4. Open: x87 precision-control mode at runtime (instrumented - hook logs fpu_cw) |
| engine: game/effects | engine | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-08 | merged: TechId enum (196 slots @10000+i), 44 ids with typed strategic effects, species flag bits, ApplyTechEffect; 254 checks |
| VM140 exclusivity (lab rule) | meta | verified | high | 100% | 2026-09-08 | one agent at a time deploys/relaunches. Holder: B3 (window open). QUEUE: B2. Non-holders build in /srv/re-lab/build/sots-engine-<lane>, stage dist-<lane>, deploy to C:\SOTS\shimdist-<lane>. NOTE: a Windows Update dialog can hide a crash dialog and mimic a hang - screenshot before believing one |
| Zuul double-roll (behavioural) | verify | backlog | — | 0% | 2026-09-08 | the reference save may have no species-5 player; if so the Zuul double roll is verified only by disassembly. Needs one extra compare from a Zuul save |
| budget tail coverage (expenses/aid/debt) | verify | backlog | — | 0% | 2026-09-08 | 8 ComputeBudget slots were always 0 in ref-turn2 (no sliders, no aid, no debt, no handicap). Need a save with expense sliders, a debtor and a research-aid treaty to exercise ExpenseTotal + the aid/bonus tail |
| hook GetDifficultyMods | meta | backlog | — | 0% | 2026-09-08 | B1 derived the two difficulty rows from trace values (AI maintenance divisor 3, research x1.5) instead of snapshotting them; hook it properly so they stop being constants |
| section-loader compare crash | verify | backlog | — | 0% | 2026-09-08 | SectionDictionary compare crashes the engine while the identical weapon path succeeds -> fault is in re-running LoadSection, not the manifest reader. Next boundary: hook LoadSection itself. docs/M2.md has 3 ranked leads |
