Entry path

PIE on loaded Test01 → WBP_CharacterSelect → character button → Start.

• In-viewport PIE: Slate cannot see UMG character-select buttons.
• Floating PIE: Slate sees PALADIN / WIZARD / CLERIC / AMAZON / Start.
• Start click produces Blueprint runtime warning on GM_Dungeoneer.PlayerFirstSpawn (Accessed None on K2Node_Event_PlayerController) but pawn still spawns and is possessed.

4. Ability execution matrix

Test	Input role	Server RPC	Multicast	Notify execution roles	Gameplay execution role	Cost role	Cleanup result
RT-002 Paladin 004	Attempted Slate PressKey Four + LMB; CurrentlyAttacking remained false	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed (CDO cost=0 anyway)	Not applicable
RT-004 Amazonian 001	Tool Limitation — Enhanced Input not driven by Slate	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not applicable (no mana cost)	Not observed
RT-005 Paladin 001	Tool Limitation	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed
RT-008 remote	Blocked (no 2P)	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable

Input tooling note: IA_Ability_001 = LeftMouseButton; IA_Ability_004 = Four. Slate PressKey returns true but does not change CurrentlyAttacking or resources. OS-level input injection was blocked by environment policy. Classified Tool Limitation.

5. Damage/death matrix

Source	Target	Damage receiver	Health source changed	Death trigger	Replication	Respawn	Result
Enemy attack	Player	Not applicable	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Blocked by Missing Implementation (enemy attack Missing per Phase 1)
Player ability ApplyDamage	Enemy / other player	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Not observed	Tool Limitation (ability input) + RT-009 blocked (no 2P)

7. Static-versus-runtime reconciliation

Pickup bReplicates=false	HealthPotion runtime false	Yes	—	—	—
Enemy ASC on character	Component present (AbilitySystemComponent, AttributeSet)	Yes	AbilitySystemInspector cannot query attributes (does not have an AbilitySystemComponent) — likely InitAbilityActorInfo / interface exposure gap	—	Inspector Tool Limitation vs true missing ASC

AnimNotify-driven gameplay authority	Not exercised	—	—	—	Enhanced Input injection Tool Limitation
Char-select server spawn path	Floating PIE Start → spawn + possess works	Yes	GM PlayerFirstSpawn emits Accessed None warning	—	—
2-client PIE via editor	playNumberOfClients=1, Standalone	—	—	—	Cannot raise clients without unauthorized config save

Per-test records (abbrev)

RT-001 — Single-player initialization (Amazonian)

• Date: 2026-07-17
• PIE mode: Floating, 1 player, Standalone
• Actions: StartPIE → AMAZON → Start
• Pass/fail: Observed Runtime Behavior (matches ASC expected; legacy divergence stronger than “may differ”)
• Cleanup: StopPIE

RT-002 — Legacy vs ASC divergence (Paladin)

• Actions: Restart PIE → PALADIN → Start; record resources; attempt Ability 004 via Slate key
• Actual: Init divergence confirmed (ASC Mana 25 vs legacy Mana 100). Ability activation not achieved. Paladin Ability004ManaCost CDO = 0.
• Classification: Observed Runtime Behavior (init) + Tool Limitation (cost mutation path)
• Cleanup: session continued then StopPIE

RT-003 — Consumables

• Classification: Blocked by Test Environment / Tool Limitation
• Note: All four GE pickups + three gold pickups exist in map; overlap not reachable without movement input or unauthorized actor moves.

RT-004 / RT-005 — Ability chains

• Classification: Tool Limitation (Enhanced Input)

RT-006 — Damage/death/respawn

• Classification: Blocked by Missing Implementation (enemy attack) and Tool Limitation (player ability damage)

RT-007–RT-010 — Two-player

• Read: playNumberOfClients=1, playNetMode=PIE_Standalone
• Attempt: Non-persisting UI set not achieved via available Slate surface during session
• Classification: Blocked by Test Environment / Tool Limitation
• Open environment decision: how to enable 2-client PIE without config persistence (see 02-Phase2A-OpenDecisions.md)

RT-011 — Enemy boundary

• Observed: Enemy actors present; ASC + AttributeSet components present; bCanBeDamaged=true; AbilitySystemInspector attribute query fails; no player→enemy damage exercised
• Classification: Observed Runtime Behavior (component presence / inspector failure) + incomplete damage-path validation

---

Tool limitations (session)

1. In-viewport PIE: Slate cannot drive WBP_CharacterSelect.
2. Floating PIE required for UMG button clicks.
3. Slate PressKey / Click on viewport does not trigger Enhanced Input actions.
4. OS-level input injection blocked by environment policy.
5. StartPIE has no NumberOfPlayers; raising clients requires Play settings mutation that saves (unauthorized).
6. Enemy ASC component exists but AbilitySystemInspector rejects actor as having no ASC.
7. Enemy IsDead property not readable via ObjectTools on runtime instance (name/exposure).
