some StartPos slots loaded with an error toast, while others refused to load. the failures came from CrushBlock routines holding a sound component after its removal. preparing those slots also kept retrying after an otherwise fast warm load.

this restores the detached sound through its owning iterator, keeps the captured animation and frame on ordinary loads, and removes the immediate GPU readback after restoring render buffers.

verified on linux mint with the five supplied Reflection snapshots: all five loaded, player poses matched, and restored images matched the saved pixels. repeated loads measured 39–111 ms with no preparation retries. the isolated branch on current main passed all 1,890 tests locally, with zero failures or skips. the earlier verification build passed 1,900 tests, including tests from the excluded compression work.

the initial cold reconstruction cost remains, and the separate preparation-recovery guard error from the report is still unreproduced. details and test-build provenance are in docs/startpos-restore-verification.md. the unrelated setup-compression work is excluded.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

This PR restores StartPos snapshots with detached sound components, captured poses, and render buffers without repeated GPU readbacks.

  • Ordinary loads preserve captured animation and frame unless explicit spawn options change the pose.
  • Initial cold reconstruction remains, and the preparation-recovery guard error is still unreproduced.
  • Verification covers supplied snapshots and automated tests; reviewers should confirm recovery behavior separately.

Walkthrough

StartPos restoration now accepts removed components retained by running iterator closures and restores them as detached objects. Ordinary loads preserve the captured player animation and frame, while explicit spawn configuration can refresh the pose. Render-buffer restoration no longer performs a synchronous GPU readback. QA probes now record animation IDs and frames. Tests and verification documents cover closure restoration, pose behavior, buffer hashes, performance, and remaining cold-load limits.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the StartPos snapshot restoration fix because it addresses medium-severity load failures, pose mismatches, and repeated warm-load stalls.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d1bdb

StartPos restores detached iterator components, preserves captured poses, and removes repeated GPU readback stalls. Remaining risk is low: published verification notes expose a local account path, and a negative ownership-validation test is still missing.

Add a regression test for mismatched component ownership. Existing tests cover detached and matching components, plus the CrushBlock scenario. Add a case that sets the closure component’s <Entity>k__BackingField to a different entity and asserts that restoration fails. This protects the non-null ownership check while the new null branch remains supported.
