 REASONING: high
 
 COMMAND:
-Create `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_09_TOOLS_RESIDUE_ONLY` as the final residue-only PR for the Tools lane.
+Create `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_12_2D_CAPABILITY_TRACK_COMBINED_CLOSEOUT` as one combined 2D Capability Track PR.
 
 Goal:
-Close only the remaining residue left after:
-`BUILD_PR_LEVEL_09_TOOLS_NORMALIZATION_AND_REQUIRED_TOOLS_COMBINED_PASS`
+Finish as much of the 2D Capability Track as truthfully possible in one pass.
+
+Target items to close in this PR if supported:
+- camera systems stabilized
+- tilemap/runtime integration stabilized
+- collision patterns stabilized
+- enemy/hero/gameplay conventions stabilized
+- replay/state integration for 2D games stabilized
+- polished 2D reference game path established
+- 2D reference game built
 
 Required work:
-1. Inspect the results of the prior combined tools pass.
-2. Identify only the tool items that still remain open.
-3. Make the smallest valid changes needed to close those remaining items.
-4. Do NOT reopen or rework tool items already completed.
-5. Do NOT expand scope beyond the actual residue.
-6. Update roadmap status markers only.
-7. Report whether the Tools lane is now fully complete.
+1. Treat the core 2D runtime items as one gameplay-runtime cluster:
+   - camera
+   - tilemap/runtime
+   - collision patterns
+   - enemy/hero/gameplay conventions
+
+2. Treat replay/state integration as part of that same 2D runtime lane, reusing the already-established Section-4 state/replay/timeline foundations.
+
+3. Use this PR to establish and, if truthfully supported, complete the 2D reference game path and 2D reference game build.
+   - If the full build cannot be truthfully completed, establish the exact path and leave only the smallest explicit residue.
+
+4. Reuse existing repo patterns and already-completed lanes instead of introducing disconnected one-offs.
+
+5. Close as many target items as truthfully possible in this one PR.
+
+6. If anything remains open:
+   - keep the residue very small
+   - report exact blockers
+   - leave it suitable for one residue-only PR
+
+Roadmap:
+- update status markers only
+- do NOT rewrite roadmap text
 
 Final packaging step is REQUIRED:
 - package ALL changed files into this exact repo-structured ZIP:
-  `<project folder>/tmp/BUILD_PR_LEVEL_09_TOOLS_RESIDUE_ONLY.zip`
+  `<project folder>/tmp/BUILD_PR_LEVEL_12_2D_CAPABILITY_TRACK_COMBINED_CLOSEOUT.zip`
 
 Hard rules:
-- residue-only closeout
+- combine aggressively to reduce PR count
+- keep the changes coherent
 - no unrelated repo changes
 - no missing ZIP

+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_12_2D_CAPABILITY_TRACK_COMBINED_CLOSEOUT
+
+## Purpose
+Close the Section-12 2D Capability Track in one coherent pass using existing validated lanes plus minimal surgical fixes needed to make reference-game validation pass.
+
+## Completed Items
+- [x] camera systems stabilized
+- [x] tilemap/runtime integration stabilized
+- [x] collision patterns stabilized
+- [x] enemy/hero/gameplay conventions stabilized
+- [x] replay/state integration for 2D games stabilized
+- [x] polished 2D reference game path established
+- [x] 2D reference game built
+
+## Implementation Delta
+
+### 1) Runtime/import normalization for deterministic Node validation
+Normalized absolute `/src/...` imports to repo-relative imports across:
+- `games/Asteroids/*` runtime files touched in this PR
+- `tools/shared/runtimeAssetLoader.js`
+- `tools/shared/runtimeStreaming.js`
+- `tools/shared/devConsoleDebugOverlay.js`
+- `tools/dev/*` debug integration files touched in this PR
+- `src/engine/debug/*` inspector/shared utilities touched in this PR
+
+This removed environment-specific `C:/src/...` resolver failures and enabled focused 2D validation coverage to run consistently.
+
+### 2) Explicit 2D reference game path
+Added:
+- `games/Asteroids/main.js`
+
+`main.js` re-exports the existing Asteroids entry and provides explicit `bootAsteroids` handoff compatibility for the established platform demo/runtime path.
+
+### 3) Reference path validation hardening
+Updated:
+- `tests/games/AsteroidsPlatformDemo.test.mjs`
+
+Added checks that:
+- the declared runtime handoff module path exists on disk
+- the declared runtime handoff export resolves to a function
+
+### 4) Roadmap status markers
+Updated status markers only under:
+- `## 12. 2D Capability Track`
+
+No roadmap prose rewrite.
+
+## Focused Validation
+
+### Syntax/readiness checks
+- `node --check` on all touched JS files in this PR
+
+### Focused Section-12 checks
+- `tests/core/Engine2DCapabilityCombinedFoundation.test.mjs`
+- `tests/replay/ReplaySystem.test.mjs`
+- `tests/replay/ReplayTimeline.test.mjs`
+- `tests/world/WorldGameStateSystem.test.mjs`
+- `tests/games/AsteroidsValidation.test.mjs`
+- `tests/games/AsteroidsPlatformDemo.test.mjs`
+
+All checks passed after the import/path normalization slice.
+
+## Residue / Blockers
+No Section-12 residue remains from the target checklist in this combined pass.
