## Repository integrity

### Starting state (Batch 3)

- **Git:** Dirty with expected Batch 2 Archaeology Markdown only (not unexpected):
  - Modified: `03`, `06`, `08`, `09`, `11`, `13`, `14`, `15`
  - Untracked: `05-LegacyAbilityArchitecture.md`
- **Baseline commit:** `ff5640a0` Establish UE 5.8 known-good baseline with Batch 1 archaeology docs.
- **Editor:** `IsPIERunning=false`; level `/Game/_Main/Levels/Testing/Test01`; selected actor `BP_Enemy_Skeleton_C_1`.

### Ending state (Batch 3 close)

- Modified/created files: Markdown only under `Documentation/Archaeology/` (listed below).
- **Unexpected untracked file reported (not reverted):** `Documentation/Archaeology/01-Phase-1-Plan.md` — present at close; not created by Pass 6 doc writes; contents not inspected this closeout.
- No source, config, plugin, map, or Unreal asset writes.
- PIE not started; level and selection not changed intentionally.
- Ending Git check: only Archaeology Markdown dirty (confirm at close).

## Areas fully inspected (Batch 3 tools)

- Player_Paladin: Ability 001–004 Begin/End/UseAbility/Charge/ChargeBox connected paths
- Player_Amazonian: Ability 001 + UseAbility001 + ReceiveAnyDamage; 002–004 absence
- Player_Cleric: Ability 001–004 + ConcentrateHandle/EndConcentrate + UseAbility002/004
- Player_Wizard: EventGraph walk; alternate UseAbility/input/spell search; unwired assets
- Player_Gunslinger: IsDataOnly confirmation; Parent-only EventGraph; inherited stubs

## Areas partially inspected

- FCanUseMana function body (call sites only)
- Client_Charge / ChargeTimeline numeric curve details
- PlayerHitCheck graphs (existence known; full absorb logic → later)
- Montage notify tracks (seeded in doc 10 → Pass 8)

## Areas not yet inspected

- Frontend/session flows (Batch 4 Pass 4)
- GE/cue systemwide inventory (Batch 4 Pass 7)
- Animation deep dive / AnimNotify → UseAbility (Batch 4 Pass 8)
- Enemy BP AI deep dive (Batch 4 Pass 9)
- Full UI trees / pickups (Batch 4)
- Cross-character migration matrix doc 07 (Pass 11)

## Blueprints inspected

| Asset | Depth |
|-------|--------|
| BP_PlayerCharacterBase | Correlation only (Batch 2 deep dive stands) |
| Player_Paladin | Pass 6 full ability path reconstruction |
| Player_Amazonian | Pass 6 full ability path reconstruction |
| Player_Cleric | Pass 6 full ability path reconstruction |
| Player_Wizard | Pass 6 ability + alternate path search |
| Player_Gunslinger | Pass 6 data-only / inherited stub confirmation |

Referenced when required for ability identity: montage paths, MagicSpell_01_Cue, BP_PlayerProjectile (unwired), GE_* DefaultAttributes (orphans), NS_Wizard_Ability001 (unwired).

## C++ classes inspected

None new this batch (Batch 1 inventory stands).

## Assets / configs inspected

Unreal content via MCP read-only only. No config file writes.

## Files created

| File | Status |
|------|--------|
| Documentation/Archaeology/10-AnimationDependencies.md | Draft |

## Files updated

| File | Status |
|------|--------|
| Documentation/Archaeology/05-LegacyAbilityArchitecture.md | Draft (major Pass 6 rewrite) |
| Documentation/Archaeology/06-PartialGASArchitecture.md | Draft |
| Documentation/Archaeology/08-CharacterSystems.md | Draft |
| Documentation/Archaeology/13-Unknowns-And-RuntimeQuestions.md | Draft |
| Documentation/Archaeology/14-EvidenceIndex.md | Draft |
| Documentation/Archaeology/15-HandoffStatus.md | Draft |

**03-ClassHierarchy.md not modified** (no Batch 2 structural correction required).  
**00-MCP-Capability-Calibration.md not modified.**  
**07-AbilityMigrationMatrix.md not created** (Pass 11).

## Toolsets used

EditorAppToolset (IsPIERunning, GetSelectedActors); SceneTools (get_current_level); AssetTools (class/tags/deps/refs); BlueprintTools (graphs/events/functions/variables/find_nodes/get_node_infos/get_connected_subgraph/read_graph_dsl); ObjectTools (get_properties).

## Tool limitations / failed queries

- CustomEvent Reliable/Unreliable flags: **Unknown — MCP property visibility limitation**
- `find_nodes(title="Comment")` returned [] — comment-box regions Unknown
- SemanticSearch unavailable
- Some CallMcpTool invocations initially failed when `server`/`toolName` wrapper omitted; retried successfully
- Blocked read-only continuity queries (if any): recorded as tool limitation, not mutation

## Contradictory evidence

1. Dual HUD: native ASC Overlay vs DEPRECATED float UpdatePlayerHUD — both active statically.
2. DefaultAttributes: GE assets exist (incl. character orphans); BP_PlayerState=None; C++ never applies.
3. Enemy ASC ownership vs GetASC PlayerState path — unchanged from Batch 1.
4. Cleric Ability 004: FCanUseMana executed but Branch uses literal true — structural defect.

## Unresolved naming ambiguities

- Amazon vs Amazonian GE folder naming (Pass 7)
- WBP_PlayerHUD naming — resolved class-wise; name still misleading

## Requires Manual Editor Inspection

- CustomEvent Reliable/Unreliable flags
- DEPRECATED comment-box visual boundaries
- Montage notify tracks → UseAbility*

## Requires Runtime Inspection / PIE

- Dual HUD behavior
- Default attribute spawn values
- Enemy GetASC impact
- Cleric Ability 004 / Wizard BeginPlay Parent skip
- Ability networking feel / reliability

## Suggested next bounded task

**Authorize Batch 4 only** (choose one or more Passes explicitly):

1. Pass 7 — GAS GE/cue/tag inventory
2. Pass 8 — Animation / AnimNotify → UseAbility wiring
3. Pass 4 — Frontend / session flows
4. Pass 9 — Enemy BP AI

**Do not begin** Pass 11 migration matrix or PIE until authorized.

**Exact starting files for next model:**

- Read: `00`, `05`, `06`, `08`, `10`, `13`, `14`, `15`
- For Pass 7: start GE assets under `/Game/_Main/` + ASC defaults
- For Pass 8: start montages listed in `10-AnimationDependencies.md`

## Confirmation

- No Unreal assets modified
- No source/config/map/plugin modified
- No editor state intentionally modified (PIE not started; level/selection unchanged)
- No work beyond Pass 6 performed
- Waiting for explicit authorization before Batch 4
