Repository integrity

Starting state (Batch 4A)

• Git: Clean (git status --short empty; diffs empty).
• Baseline commits: ff5640a0 Batch 1; 0d045d14 Batch 2–3 archaeology.
• Authorization: Batch 1–3 docs committed; 01-Phase-1-Plan.md resolved as 00A-Phase-1-Execution-Plan.md (committed).
• Editor: IsPIERunning=false; level /Game/_Main/Levels/Testing/Test01; selected actor BP_Enemy_Skeleton_C_1.

Ending state (Batch 4A close)

• Modified files: Markdown only under Documentation/Archaeology/ (listed below).
• No source, config, plugin, map, or Unreal asset writes.
• PIE not started; level and selection unchanged.
• Ending Git: only authorized Archaeology Markdown dirty.

Areas fully inspected (Batch 4A)

• ABP_Paladin / ABP_Amazon / ABP_Cleric / ABP_Wizard structure and EventGraph ability-related reads
• Paladin / Amazonian / Cleric ability Montages via dependency → AnimNotify BP chains
• AN_Ability_001–004, AN_AttackComplete Received_Notify bodies
• Wizard animation folder (ABP only; no montages)
• Gunslinger deps (no AnimBP)
• Pass 6 status qualification / reclassification table

Areas partially inspected

• Montage section names, blend, root motion, notify times (tool limits)
• AnimGraph transition rule DSL (Paladin reconstructed via VariableGet; others partial)
• Cleric_Ability003 non-montage asset referencing AN_AttackComplete (identity only)

Areas not yet inspected

• Pass 7 GE/cue/tag inventory
• Pass 4 frontend/sessions
• Pass 9 enemy BP AI
• Pass 10 pickups/UI trees
• Pass 11 migration matrix
• PIE / runtime

Toolsets used

EditorAppToolset; SceneTools; AssetTools; BlueprintTools; ObjectTools (limited). Subagents for Paladin/Amazonian/Cleric deep walks.

Tool limitations / failed queries

• Montage Notifies property unreadable
• Asset-registry AnimNotifyList empty for BP notify classes
• read_graph_dsl empty on AnimGraph/state/transition graphs
• AssetTools.get_class Unknown tool (used tags)
• Some CallMcpTool batches failed schema intermittently; retried
• Notify trigger times: Unknown — Tool Limitation

Key Pass 8 outcomes

1. UseAbility callers resolved* — AnimNotify BPs, not AnimBP graphs.
2. Cleanup for notify-driven attacks — AN_AttackComplete → SetIsAttacking.
3. Cleric 001/003 notifies dead — interface unimplemented.
4. Pass 6 primary statuses unchanged; qualifications recorded in 10 reclassification table.
5. Static networking risk — Multicast montage notify evaluation required for hit windows.

Suggested next bounded task

Authorize explicitly one of:

1. Pass 7 — GAS GE/cue/tag inventory
2. Pass 9 — Enemy BP AI
3. Pass 4 — Frontend / sessions

Do not begin Pass 11 or PIE until authorized.

Starting files: 00, 05, 06, 08, 10, 13, 14, 15.

Confirmation

• No Unreal assets modified
• No source/config/map/plugin modified
• No editor state intentionally modified
• No work beyond Pass 8 performed
• Waiting for explicit authorization before Pass 7 or other Batch 4 passes
