A capture at controlled range (ship_capture_close.sh: lock a capital ship, close on it, F10 per range band) finally draws capital-ship hulls at full detail. Two correctness fixes were needed before the numbers meant anything: * one F10 log is ~14 frames with no delimiter, and WV_ref^-1 . WV_p only cancels the camera within one frame — segment_frames splits on vertex-buffer recurrence, and correlate_frames cross-checks the blocks against each other instead of trusting a single shot; * aggregate by consensus, not median: a stage holds several ships of one class sharing vertex buffers, so a block can mix two instances. Result: f105, e105 and e106 reproduce assemble_ship to <=0.43 units in translation and 0.000 in rotation for every part that does not move. The e106 rules generalise, and the viewer bug report now points at the viewer. Narrow leftovers: e105_brg is missing from assemble_ship, e105_eng_01 rotation differs by 1.711.

Open items that are *not* being worked right now. Each entry says what is wrong or
|
||
unknown, what evidence exists, and what the first step would be. Move an item into
|
||
`INDEX.md` (with a `structures/…md` or a parser + test) once it is actually settled.

## Capital ships assemble wrong in the viewer
|
||
|
||
**Reported:** 2026-07-30, by the user. **Status:** 🔎 **diagnosed 2026-08-10 — the
|
||
format layer is exonerated.** Runtime captures of three classes (`f105`, `e105`,
|
||
`e106`) at controlled range reproduce `assemble_ship` to ≤0.43 units in translation
|
||
and to 0.000 in rotation for every part that does not move; see
|
||
[`ship-placement-capture-generalisation.md`](ship-placement-capture-generalisation.md)
|
||
§4. So look at **the viewer**: first that it passes `include_external = true`
|
||
(`iso_loader.rs:4012` — with `false` an e106 loses its bridge and both nacelles,
|
||
5 parts instead of 11), then its own transform stack. Two narrow format-side leftovers
|
||
remain: `e105_brg` is never produced by `assemble_ship`, and `e105_eng_01`'s rotation
|
||
differs by 1.711.
|
||
|
||
The original report and its reasoning follow.
|
||
|
||
The reborn viewer builds capital ships from the split XBG7 parts via
|
||
`sylpheed-formats::ship::assemble_ship`, and they come out **wrong** — parts in the
|
||
wrong place / wrong orientation.
|
||
|
||
**Why this is a real finding and not a known limitation:** the RE write-up
|
||
[`ship-placement-runtime-capture.md`](ship-placement-runtime-capture.md) declares
|
||
static assembly ✅ **exact** as of 2026-07-26 — 9-channel joint tables
|
||
`[TX TY TZ RY RX RZ SX SY SZ]`, Euler `Ry·Rx·Rz`, with
|
||
`ship::tests::static_assembly_matches_runtime_capture` asserting static == runtime
|
||
capture (T < 1.0, R < 0.02). So either the viewer is not using that path, or the
|
||
claim generalises worse than the test suggests.
|
||
|
||
**The likely gap:** that test is **one ship** — the `e106` destroyer, 8 parts plus
|
||
two nacelles, two turrets and the hull mirror. Nothing pins the other classes.
|
||
Rules that were derived from `e106` and could easily be `e106`-specific:
|
||
|
||
- the engine cluster rig mounted at `GN_Engine_01` (two mirrored nacelles + centre);
|
||
- "X-reflect the shared-geometry twin whose lateral offset opposes the geometry's
|
||
dominant side" — a heuristic, not a decoded flag;
|
||
- cross-id turret instancing (×2).
|
||
|
||
**First step (the oracle already exists):** re-run the runtime capture on a *different*
|
||
capital ship and diff static vs captured, exactly as `e106` was done — F10 in the
|
||
`capture-ship-placement` build of `xenia-canary-native` dumps the ship shader's
|
||
`c0..c2` WorldViewProjection rows per part; `WV_ref⁻¹ · WV_p` is the ship-space rigid
|
||
transform, which is ground truth. Pick a class whose rig differs from `e106`
|
||
(different engine count, a ship with no `sld`, a carrier). Then extend
|
||
`static_assembly_matches_runtime_capture` into a per-ship table so a regression in one
|
||
class cannot hide behind `e106` passing.
|
||
|
||
**Also worth ruling out first, cheaply:** that the viewer's own transform stack (scale,
|
||
handedness, node-instance recursion) is not re-breaking a correct assembly — compare
|
||
the viewer's placement against `assemble_ship`'s output directly before blaming the
|
||
format layer.
