 ## Multiplayer (Phase 7 / P6)
-- Cross-pod COMBAT (target a replicant + route damage to the owning master).
-- Replicant GAIT animation (replicants don't animate joints yet — derive from replicated velocity).
+- ✅ Cross-pod COMBAT — DONE (tasks #46/#47: replicant targeting + damage rerouted to the owning
+  master, full cross-pod kill verified). ✅ Replicant GAIT animation — DONE (task #50: replicant
+  derives speedDemand from the replicated velocity, full stand→walk→run lifecycle verified).
+  See [[multiplayer]] — the entries here were stale (swept 2026-07-11).
+- **Mech-level update records (@0x4a0c2c) untranscribed — the biggest remaining MP fidelity gap:**
+  only the base Mover record replicates, so a peer's death SINK/burial, knockdown, heat, alarm and
+  movementMode states don't reach the other pod (the wreck SWAP does appear). The writer's disasm is
+  recovered + 9 record types decoded (`reference/decomp/mech_writeupdate_004a0c2c.disasm.txt`);
+  the read-side leg-state branches at mech.cpp:1511/:1613 are the dead Wword comparisons.
 - The pod-LAN config (real IPs, bare-IP pilot entries). The WinSock2 TCP stack (L4NET.CPP) is
   reconstructed + smoke-tested on one box (two instances share a world, movement replicates).
