#45 review pass: correct three claims the fix's own comments got wrong
An adversarial review of the change returned NO BLOCKERS but caught three
statements that were wrong or unverifiable. All three are corrections to my own
comments/docs, not behaviour changes -- the verified binary is unchanged.
1. The phantom-kill note had the ORDERING backwards. It claimed the owner's
record "overwrites it on the next record -- the phantom stops being visible".
The engine's event priorities run the other way: an inbound update record is
posted at UpdateEventPriority == MaxEventPriority and drained by
ExecuteBackgroundTask, while the rerouted score message sits at
EntityManagerEventPriority == DefaultEventPriority and is popped later -- so
the correction usually lands FIRST and the phantom AFTER it. The artifact is
BOUNDED, not masked: on the killer's pod only, that victim's KILLS reads +1
until the next record, i.e. <= one 2s heartbeat instead of "until the victim
next scores or dies". Swept in btplayer.cpp, KD_SCOREBOARD_PLAN.md and
RECONCILE.md.
2. The corpus figures were not reproducible, and were mis-tiered. I cited
"125 of 125 SCORE type=2 over 255 node-logs" and "0 of 8800 DMG rows" -- true
when measured, but the corpus is append-only and this fix's OWN verification
runs grew it from ~255 to 425 files, so nobody can re-derive them. Replaced
everywhere with invariant RATIOS that hold at any corpus size, re-measured
here:
* 0 of 18818 DMG rows are inst=R (damage is applied master-side only)
* 439 of 439 DEATH inst=R rows read killer=0:0 killdmg=0.000, against
0 of 225 inst=M rows (sole lastInflictingID writer: mech.cpp:746)
Also re-tagged T1 -> T2: log-corpus field evidence is T2 per the CLAUDE.md
tier table. Lesson recorded in the banner: cite ratios, not counts, for a
corpus your own rigs append to.
3. The recordLength guard's justification was wrong (and the plan's risk 5 with
it). A short legacy record does NOT desync the stream -- both sides advance
by the WRITER's stamped recordLength and no reader asserts a length. The real
hazard is a read PAST THE ALLOCATION: an inbound update message lives in a
per-event heap block sized from messageLength, so on a TRAILING legacy record
the two new fields would be read off the end of it.
Plus: the record struct's own field comment still said "deathCount -- the DEATHS
column", the exact wrong-field belief #45 removed, sitting on the wire struct.
Filed the review's other finding on #60: a SECOND decomp export gap, index
jumping FUN_0049fe80 (ends 0x49ffc8) -> FUN_004a1232, 4714 unexported bytes
containing Mech::TakeDamageMessageHandler @0x4a0230 -- the producer of every
score and death message in the game. Verified independently against
functions_index.tsv before posting.
