-  `GetMission()->GetGameModel()` have no WinTesla analog → stubbed; base-set `scenarioRole` stands.
+- ~~BTPlayer ctor role-registry resolution~~ — **RESOLVED 2026-08-07.** The claim "no WinTesla
+  analog → stubbed; base-set `scenarioRole` stands" was wrong twice over: the base ctor sets
+  `scenarioRole` to **NULL** (PLAYER.cpp:680), so nothing "stood"; and the analog exists —
+  `Mission::GetScenarioRole(name)` (MISSION.h:162) walks the same `scenarioRoleChain` that
+  `BTL4Mission` fills via `AddScenarioRole()` when it parses the role pages. A NULL role zeroed
+  EVERY scoring value (a kill scored 4.88 instead of 505.88, the eject charge read 0, the death
+  cost was skipped). Now bound, with a `Role::Default` fallback and a BOUND/NULL receipt.
+  `GetMission()->GetGameModel()` (the freeForAll compare) stays genuinely stubbed — the shipped
+  code discarded its result anyway.
