**Status: Draft**
- **Scope:** Unresolved questions after Batches 1–3 and Batch 4A Pass 8.
- **Inspection method:** Consolidation of Batches 1–3 + Pass 8 animation archaeology.
- **Scope:** Unresolved questions after Batches 1–3, Batch 4A Pass 8, and Batch 4B Pass 7.
- **Inspection method:** Consolidation of static archaeology through Pass 7.

- **Last updated:** 2026-07-16
- **Current phase:** Phase 1 — Static Architecture
- **Last completed pass:** Pass 8 (Batch 4A)
- **Next pass expected to contribute:** Pass 7 / 4 / 9 when authorized
- **Last completed pass:** Pass 7 (Batch 4B)
- **Next pass expected to contribute:** Pass 9 / Pass 4 / Pass 10 when authorized
## Draft tracking
### Completed sections
- Batch 1–3 unknowns and resolutions
- **Pass 8 resolutions:** UseAbility* callers; Amazonian melee anim path; Cleric dead notifies; cleanup via AN_AttackComplete; PerformingWhirlwind not animation-driven
- Pass 8 animation callback resolutions
- **Pass 7 resolutions:** GE inventory; orphan default attrs; tag orphan status; no GAs/cues/grants; consumable GE wiring; dual HUD/stamina debt confirmed
### Pending sections
- Frontend/session/enemy AI (Pass 4 / 9)
- GE/cue inventory (Pass 7)
- Frontend/session (Pass 4)
- Enemy BP AI (Pass 9)
- Pickup deep graphs (Pass 10)
- Runtime test procedures
### Evidence still required
- PIE dual HUD / spawn attributes / potion vs combat health
- Notify trigger times (Manual Editor)
- Interrupt vs AN_AttackComplete behavior (PIE)
- Live ASC vs DEPRECATED HUD coexistence (PIE)
- Interrupt vs AN_AttackComplete (PIE)

## Resolved in Batch 2–3 (unchanged)

| Paladin charge Montage cleanup? | No — ChargeTimeline / ability logic | Observed Implementation | 10 |

| Gunslinger shared AnimBP/Montage? | No AnimBP dependency | Observed Implementation | 10 |
| CurrentlyAttacking clear on montage complete? | Via `AN_AttackComplete` → SetIsAttacking; interrupt Unknown | Observed Implementation / Unknown interrupt | 10 |

| Are default-attribute GEs applied? | No — 0 referencers; BP_PlayerState = None; native never applies | Present but Unreferenced / Scaffolding Only | 06 |
| Default GE values? | Paladin H/M 100/100; Amazon H/S 100/100; Cleric H/M 50/200; Wizard H/M 100/150; **no Max*** | Observed Implementation | 06 |
| GE_Gunslinger? | None observed | Missing | 06 |
| Are INI tags used? | Defined; zero native/BP/GE referencers observed | Present but Unreferenced | 06 |
| Project GAs / grants / cues? | None observed (negative searches logged) | Missing / Scaffolding Only (URIRGameplayAbility) | 06 |
| What applies GEs at runtime? | Consumable EffectActors only (static path) | Partially Integrated | 06, 12 |
| Stamina overlay delegate debt? | OnStamina* properties reuse Mana signature types | Technical Debt | 11, 06 |
| Sync DEPRECATED ↔ ASC? | None observed | Missing / Incomplete Refactor | 06, 05 |
