Repository integrity

Starting state (Batch 4C)

• Git: Clean (git status --short empty; diffs empty).
• Baseline includes: e50c8032 Batch 4B Pass 7 GAS archaeology.
• Editor: IsPIERunning=false; level /Game/_Main/Levels/Testing/Test01; selected actor BP_Enemy_Skeleton_C_1.

Ending state (Batch 4C close)

• Modified files: Markdown under Documentation/Archaeology/ (listed below).
• Unexpected working-tree changes (not caused by Pass 9; not reverted):
  • Deleted: Migration-Notes/UE54-Baseline.md
  • Untracked: Documentation/Migration-Notes/
• No Unreal assets, source, config, plugins, or maps modified by this batch.
• PIE not started; level and selection unchanged.
• Ending Git: Archaeology Markdown dirty plus the unexpected Migration-Notes paths above.

12 not modified (no new EffectActor evidence beyond Pass 7).
07 not created.

Key Pass 9 outcomes

1. Chase primary classification: Implementation Missing (empty Tick/Overlap; no MoveTo; no target acquisition).
2. Attack primary classification: Implementation Missing (EnemyMeleeAttack unimplemented; orphan montage).
3. Stock AIController + PlacedInWorld — possession may occur; no behavior.
4. No BT/BB/Perception/navmesh in project / Test01.
5. GetASC defect is separate — does not cause chase/attack failure.
6. ABP SetIsDead(false) every Update — death path incomplete.
7. Player ApplyDamage has no enemy health/death consumer statically.

Suggested next bounded task

Authorize Batch 4D explicitly, e.g.:

1. Pass 4 — Frontend / sessions
2. Pass 10 — Pickup deep dive

Do not begin Pass 11 or PIE until authorized.

Starting files: 00, 09, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

Confirmation

• No Unreal assets modified
• No source/config/map/plugin modified
• No editor state intentionally modified
• No work beyond Pass 9 performed
• Waiting for explicit authorization before Batch 4D
