Toolsets used

EditorAppToolset; SceneTools; AssetTools; ObjectTools; BlueprintTools; GameplayTagsToolset / GameplayCueToolset (read-only via subagents).

Tool limitations / failed queries

• GameplayEffectComponents unreadable on GE CDOs
• Some ObjectTools property-name batches on BlueprintGeneratedClass failed until Default__/alternate load path used by subagent
• search_subclasses requires base_class + class_name (not parent_class)
• No PIE

Key Pass 7 outcomes

1. Only active GE application path: consumable EffectActors (potions/food).
2. All four character DefaultAttributes GEs orphaned; BP_PlayerState = None.
3. No project GAs, grants, cues, MMC, ExecutionCalculations.
4. All 12 INI gameplay tags unreferenced.
5. Dual HUD + no DEPRECATED↔ASC sync confirmed as migration boundary.
6. Enemy GetASC defect remains static Incomplete Refactor affecting EffectActor on enemies.

Suggested next bounded task

Authorize explicitly one of:

1. Pass 9 — Enemy BP AI
2. Pass 4 — Frontend / sessions
3. Pass 10 — Pickup deep dive

Do not begin Pass 11 or PIE until authorized.

Starting files: 00, 06, 08, 09, 12, 13, 14, 15.

Confirmation

• No Unreal assets modified
• No source/config/map/plugin modified
• No editor state intentionally modified
• No work beyond Pass 7 performed
• Waiting for explicit authorization before Pass 9 or other passes
