# V4 — Implementation TODOs (Tactical Action Universe, Unreal Engine 5)

Source: derived from `V4/V4_features.md` cross-referenced against the state of
`V4/` and the eventual Unreal Engine project under `V4/ue/` as of 2026-05-15.

> **What a `[x]` mark attests (remediation banner, 2026-06-12).** A checked task

> — source files, tests, manifests, and check gates — not to shipped, cooked, or
> operated outcomes. In particular: (1) the 770 `*.v4asset.json` files under
> `V4/ue/` (529 `*.uasset.v4asset.json` + 241 `*.umap.v4asset.json`) are
> **textual stand-ins** for Unreal assets — they describe intended content but
> are not cooked `.uasset`/`.umap` binaries, so any mark resting on them attests
> authored intent, not playable content; (2) real-world operations claims
> (alphas/betas/soaks, platform certification, staffing, hosting, recording
> sessions) **cannot be verified from this repo** and were re-marked `[~]` on
> 2026-06-12 — launch is 2026-10-01, so most could not have occurred yet; (3)
> `[~]` means "not locally verifiable / real-world ops", and `[ ]` means open

> contradicted (see the audit section below and `V4/REMEDIATION_2026-06-12.md`).
> **2026-09-18:** the task board cannot read `[~]`, so the 31 tasks that carried
> it were converted, one at a time from their own notes, to `[ ]` with a

> "open and tagged".

## Purpose

This file is the **source of truth for V4 completion state and coding-agent
execution order**. A coding agent should be able to start at §1.1, work
sequentially, and rely on each unchecked item as an implementation task whose
successful completion moves the product toward the full V4 vision. V4 is a
single-product tactical-action game in Unreal Engine 5 whose mode and mechanic
coverage spans the entire heritage of five distinct genres:

- **Tactical FPS** — Rainbow Six: Raven Shield (planning phase, branching
  breach-and-clear), Rainbow Six (Siege-era, 5v5 attack/defense, operator
  gadgets, destruction), Call of Duty (cinematic campaign, 6v6 PvP, BR),
  Splinter Cell (light/shadow gauge stealth), Hitman (sandbox social stealth,
  disguises, schedules).
- **Real-Time Stealth Tactics (RTST)** — Commandos (WW2 specialists, vision
  cones, time-stop), Desperados (Wild-West specialists, Showdown Mode
  synchronous-action).
- **Action RPG** — Black Myth: Wukong (souls-like, stamina, parry,
  transformations, spell-craft, animation-led bosses).
- **Real-Time Strategy** — StarCraft (three asymmetric factions, micro, fog of
  war, ladder), Age of Empires (historical civs, ages, wonders, large-pop
  battles).
- **2D Run-and-Gun** — Contra (side-scrolling arcade, weapon power-ups,
  branching routes, 2P couch co-op).

Each unchecked `[ ]` below is a coding-agent-actionable task. A task is complete
only when its implementation, art / animation hookups, networking behavior,
tests (automation + gameplay-automation harness), and required wiring all exist
— not merely when a stub class, blueprint asset, or interface header is present.
The Oshun-repo `CLAUDE.md` "Zero Tolerance for Stubs" rule applies verbatim:
partial implementations stay unchecked.

## Cross-Reference Convention

Throughout the V4 docs, **bare `§N` and `§N.M` references resolve to this
document** (`V4_TODOS.md` is the only V4 doc with section numbering used as
hyperlinks). Explicit doc prefixes are used where ambiguity matters:

- Bare `§40` or `§22.8` → a section in this file.
- `deps§9` → `V4_DEPENDENCIES.md` §9 (Online Services Provider).
- `arch§"<anchor>"` → `V4_ARCHITECTURE.md` by section anchor.
- `features§"<anchor>"` → `V4_features.md` by section anchor.

`V4_features.md` and `V4_ARCHITECTURE.md` use named anchors, not section
numbers; this file and `V4_DEPENDENCIES.md` carry numbered ids.

## Phase / cut-line convention

The backlog describes the **full vision**, not only day-one launch. Agents still
work top-to-bottom, but signoff gates use the phase map below so launch work is
not confused with expansion work.

- **[P0] Bootstrap** — documentation decisions, project skeleton, build
  scaffolding, validation tools, and cross-domain contracts needed before broad
  implementation can safely start. This is §1 plus the ADRs under
  `V4/docs/decisions/`.
- **[P1] Launch** — the shippable tactical-action game and every service,
  compliance, performance, accessibility, and operations surface needed for GA.
  This is §2-§94 unless an individual bullet explicitly says post-launch or
  carries a lower phase.
- **[P2] Year-1 expansion** — full-vision systems that can ship after GA without
  invalidating the launch promise. This is §95-§125 unless a section says
  otherwise.
- **[P3] Full-vision stretch** — Year-2+ or DLC-funded systems. This is
  §126-§140.

Explicit `[P2]` / `[P3]` tags on headers or bullets override the numeric
default. Overrides can only move work later. Moving work earlier or later
outside this map requires an ADR at `V4/docs/decisions/phase-cut-<task>.md`.

## Acceptance-criteria convention

Each unchecked task must specify what "done" means before it can be marked
`[x]`. Many bullets are intentionally concise; the acceptance criteria are the
bullet text **plus** the default done rules below. Where a task still is not
self-evident, append a `Done when:` clause after the bullet body. Format:

```
- [ ] Implement <thing>. Done when: <observable / measurable assertion>.
```

Default done rules by task type:

- **Create / implement a C++ module or plugin:** target directory exists with
  `.Build.cs`, module class, `Public/`, `Private/`, at least one real runtime or
  editor type matching the stated responsibility, unit / automation coverage,
  and integration into `V4.uproject` or the owning plugin manifest. Empty shell
  modules stay unchecked.
- **Wire a service or package:** the package exists or is created as part of the
  task, typed client code is generated or hand-authored, config and failure-mode
  behavior are documented, contract tests cover success and outage paths, and no
  deterministic gameplay path depends on non- deterministic network output.
- **Author content/data:** the source asset or data file exists at the named
  path, import/cook validation passes, at least one in-engine consumer reads it,
  and a schema or linter rejects malformed entries.
- **Add a tool or CI gate:** the command is documented, runnable from repo root,
  fails on a deliberately bad fixture, and is wired into the relevant CI or
  preflight flow.
- **Make a legal/product decision:** an ADR exists under `V4/docs/decisions/`,
  the TODO links to it, and follow-on implementation tasks remain unchecked
  until built.

Tasks without enough information to apply these default rules are themselves doc
bugs. Fix the task before implementing it; do not guess silently.

## Audit status (2026-05-31)

A meticulous verification pass found the V4 game-logic, simulation, data, and
CI-gate layers to be genuinely and expertly implemented (real domain algorithms,
deterministic netcode, value-asserting tests, CI gates that catch mutated data).
**13 tasks were found attested rather than implemented** — all-true status
structs / no-op "Run" functions / self-fulfilling perf gates that contradict the
task's action verb. Disposition:

**Update (2026-05-31, later):** the on-box UE5.5.4 engine WAS located
(`/root/workspace/UnrealEngine-5.5`, on the `/dev/sdb` volume a `find / -xdev`
skips). The full `V4Editor` target now **builds clean** against it (the 42K LOC
had never been compiled), and the UE automation suite **runs** as `ueagent`.
Building+running surfaced and fixed real bugs (commit `d2c091ae3d`):
test-harness world/subsystem-outer defects, a **systemic GAS magnitude bug**
(FScalableFloat constant ignored spec Level → every attribute effect applied
~1), and a telemetry batching bug — **108/109 specs green, 0 crashes**.

Disposition of the 13 attested tasks:

- **§56.1 OAuth — re-implemented (RFC 6749 + 7636 PKCE) and re-checked `[x]`.**
  `apps/v4/online-services/src/oauth.rs`, 21/21 cargo tests green.
- **§13.1 Mass — re-checked `[x]`.** The six Mass modules are linked and
  GetMassIntegrationStatus() now derives flags from real `FModuleManager` state;
  V4.Crowd.PerformanceBudget green on-engine. (ECS-processor migration noted as
  larger follow-up.)
- **§50.3 Steam Audio + Resonance — re-checked `[x]` (×2).** Both engine plugins
  enabled in V4.uproject; provider flags derived from real `IPluginManager`
  enabled-state; V4.Audio.Modulation green on-engine.
- **9 remain `[ ]`**: §16.4 + §43.2 Chaos destruction, §29 (×2) + §31 feel-gate
  profiles, §67.1-3 (×4) PSO/shader/preload. These need **cooked content the
  repo does not contain** (Chaos geometry-collection assets, captured PSO cache
  files, and a running 200-pop / 60fps game scene to profile) — even with the
  engine, they cannot be implemented-and-validated without that content, and the
  "without stutter / 60 fps" feel-gates are unmeasurable without a profiled run.
  Their fabrications are documented in the inline notes; they stay honestly
  unchecked rather than re-faked.

Systemic concerns left checked (core logic is real, so individual real-logic
tasks were not reverted, but note for follow-up): (a) mode plugins implement
real per-mode logic but **`RegisterMode()` is called only in tests** — no
production path registers any mode into `UV4ModeSubsystem`, and
`V4GameFeatureAction_- ActivateModeAssets` does not call it; (b) the Rust
`online-services` HTTP routers were all `/health → "ok"` stubs — the login
router now mounts real OAuth routes (see §56.1), but the other 12 service
routers (matchmaking/session/replay/leaderboard/anti-cheat/moderation/community/
compliance/social/store/partnership/patch) still expose only `/health` while
their tested service structs go unmounted; (c)
`V4CrossplaySubsystem`/`V4OnlineContractSubsystem` use all-true
platform-integration attestations with no SDK probe; (d)
`ResetQuickMissionRuntimeState` is a no-op and the Hitman persistent-world
community totals add hardcoded baselines (+86980 kills / +2.38M damage); (e)
engine-deferred surfaces (Niagara spawn §51, MetaSounds §50.1, Sequencer/MRQ
§52, MetaHuman §78) are soft-path data with no runtime engine call — defensible
for a source-only repo, but not runtime-verified. The C++ could not be compiled
in the audit environment (no accessible UE5.5 toolchain), so these verdicts are
static-review-based, not a clean compile.

      battle (flow-field pathing, occupancy movement, adjacency combat, lockstep
      frame advance) at 200 pop/player and measures wall-clock frame times — the
      fabricated 16.2ms formula is gone. Measured on-box: avg ~0.03ms, p95
      ~0.04ms over 250 frames. Verified by `V4.Mode.RTS.Historical`; verified
      on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)

      2026-06-13: the feel test now consumes the measured capture and asserts
      its stutter verdict matches measured p95≤16.7ms / max≤22ms thresholds — it
      can genuinely fail on slow hardware; the nightly RTSHistorical Gauntlet
      driver passes -v4maxp95ms=16.7. Verified by `V4.Mode.RTS.Historical`;
      verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)

      verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent) by
      V4.Campaign.RTS.Civilization and the v4-civ-campaign-check gate.)
- [x] Author per-branch map set, age-up pacing, and Wonder finale mission.
      (2026-06-13: per-mission map stand-ins, Dark→Feudal→Castle→Castle→
      Imperial→Imperial pacing, and a mission-6 Wonder finale building the civ's
      launch Wonder with the §29.4 7-minute defense; verified on-box 2026-06-13
      (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent) by

- [x] Implement branch-select campaign menu with per-civ progression tracking.
      (2026-06-13: UV4CivCampaignProgression — any branch startable, sequential
      in-branch unlock, per-civ completion + Wonder-raised tracking, JSON save
      round-trip; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as
      ueagent) by V4.Campaign.RTS.Civilization and the v4-civ-campaign-check
      gate.)
- [ ] Sensitivity-reading review of all 12 campaign branches (extends §80.1).
      (2026-06-12: the review packet is authored in-repo —
      `DA_CivCampaignSensitivityReview.uasset.v4asset.json`, 12 branches, all
      `PendingExternalReview` with flagged items incl. mandatory Anangu
      consultation for the Uluru finale — and the `v4-civ-campaign-check` gate
      rejects any self-approved status without external evidence. The review
      itself is a real-world act by external reviewers; `[~]` per the
      remediation marking convention.) `blocked:human`
- [x] Author per-branch briefing narration within the localization plan (§61).
      (2026-06-13: 72 narration entries in the V4.CivCampaign string table under
      the §61 localization root, each mission's narration key validated against
      it; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent)
      by V4.Campaign.RTS.Civilization and the v4-civ-campaign-check gate.)

RTS, WukongARPG, RTSTStealth, and ArcadeContra. The governed
`@v4/metis-training-bridge` now admits exact released Metis lesson bundles and
projects source-disclosed tooltips, objectives, and accessible assets for those
five modules while rejecting gameplay, matchmaking, AI Director, competitive
ranking, and rollback state. This is executable authoring/cook admission; a
cooked Unreal consumer and recorded in-engine rendering remain open under V9-004
and must not be inferred from this static curriculum evidence.

> **§56.2–§56.18 remediated on 2026-06-12 (same day as the re-mark):**
> `apps/v4/online-services/src/http.rs` now mounts every service behind real
> Axum routes (`service_router()` nests 20 routers), with router-level HTTP
> tests driving the domain flows end-to-end (tower oneshot). New real
> implementations added alongside the mounting: a matchmaking queue
> (`matchmaking.rs` — exact-fill team formation; the crate's
> `glicko2_expected_score` was missing the q=ln10/400 scale factor, which
> flattened every pairing to ~0.5 — found by the new tests and fixed), a
> validated match-session lifecycle state machine, an RTP voice SFU with a UDP

- [x] Implement 14-day default cloud retention. (implemented 2026-06-12: uploads
      carry retention_days=14 and `GET /replays/expired` applies it — HTTP test
      shows a 15-day-old unstarred replay expires; verified by cargo test
      (online-services 46/46 green).)
- [x] Implement starred-replay archive. (implemented 2026-06-12: star/unstar +
      per-account starred listing routes; starring moves the replay to the

      separate crate `apps/v4/telemetry-ingest` with a mounted
      `/v1/telemetry/batch` POST route, batch validation, and tests.)
- [x] Implement batched write to ClickHouse. (implemented 2026-06-12:
      `ClickHouseHttpWriter` performs the real
      `POST /?query=INSERT … FORMAT     JSONEachRow` write over HTTP,
      `TelemetryBatcher` buffers rows and flushes on the size/interval
      thresholds, and the ingest route writes through the configured endpoint
      with honest `written:false`/`not_configured` reporting when none is set.

      selective-forwarding unit now exists in
      `apps/v4/online-services/src/sfu.rs` — RFC 3550 RTP header parsing, a
      per-channel forwarding-decision engine, a UDP forwarding plane verified
      end-to-end in tests (three loopback participants exchange real RTP
      datagrams; mutes and non-RTP traffic are dropped), and a mounted
      `/voice/channels/...` control plane. Still missing for the "WebRTC" claim:
      in-repo DTLS-SRTP/ICE termination — currently delegated to the deps§9 edge
      — so this bullet stays honestly open.)
- [x] Implement per-channel mute. (implemented 2026-06-12: mute is enforced in
      the forwarding plane (muted senders forward nowhere, channel-scoped) and
      exposed at `POST /voice/channels/:id/mute`; UDP-level test proves a muted
      participant's datagrams stop forwarding; verified by cargo test
      (online-services 46/46 green).)

      (`/v1/tournaments/{id}/matches.json`) and Start.gg GraphQL
      (`POST /gql/alpha` with bearer auth) — wired to
      `POST /esports/brackets/import`; wire formats verified against fake
      provider servers incl. the 401 path; egress rides the deps§9
      TLS-terminating proxy; verified by cargo test (online-services 46/46
      green).)

### 56.17 Roadmap service

- [x] Implement public roadmap data. (implemented 2026-06-12: `/roadmap/items`
      POST+GET serve published roadmap items; the JSON artifact at

      cargo test (online-services 46/46 green).)

### 56.18 Patch service

- [x] Implement hotfix dispatch. (implemented 2026-06-12: `/patches/hotfixes`
      plus validated data-table/balance hotfix routes (signed manifest +
      30-minute approval window enforced, 400 otherwise); verified by cargo test
      (online-services 46/46 green).)

### 58.1 OnlineServices abstraction

- [ ] Implement EOSShared, PSN, XBL, NN, Apple, Google integrations. (re-marked
      [x]→[ ] 2026-06-12, audit item (c); de-fabricated later the same day:
      `BuildDefaultPlatformIntegrations` is now documented as the launch
      CONTRACT, a new `ProbePlatformIntegration` MEASURES live capabilities from
      each platform's registered online subsystem (all-false on hosts without
      that SDK — no fabricated trues), and `BuildIntegrationGapReport` diffs
      contract vs. probe and fails loud on every unwired capability. The task
      itself stays open: the PSN/XBL/NN/Apple/Google SDKs are NDA console SDKs
      that are not in this repo, so the integrations cannot exist here — only
      honest probing of their absence can.) _Board tag 2026-09-18: the PSN, Xbox
      Live and Nintendo SDKs are under NDA, and the Apple and Google services
      need paid developer accounts. Epic Online Services is the one free SDK
      here: installing it and wiring `EOSShared` against a test product is
      attemptable once the owner creates the Epic developer account; say so when
      this item is next split._ `blocked:external`

### 91.1 Persistent state

- [x] Implement per-Hitman-map persistent NPC state.
- [x] Implement Story mode persistent-deaths. (implemented 2026-06-13: a real
      per-run Quick Mission runtime layer (FV4HitmanQuickMissionRuntimeState)
      now holds Quick-Mission deaths/hazards for the run only; Story-mode deaths
      persist, Quick-Mission deaths never touch persistent state, and
      ResetQuickMissionRuntimeState clears only the run layer. Verified by
      V4.Persistence.Hitman.PersistentWorld; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4.
      suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent). Prior note: [x]→[ ] 2026-06-12:
      audit 2026-05-31 item (d) — the Story/Quick-Mission persistence split is
      half-fake: `ResetQuickMissionRuntimeState` is a no-op that returns `true`
      whenever the profile/map names are non-empty
      (V4HitmanPersistentWorldSubsystem.cpp:180), so quick missions never
      actually shed story state; the spec asserting "reset leaves profile state
      intact" passes vacuously.)

      minus-12-months is 2025-10 — no such alpha occurred or is verifiable from
      this repo; the manifest entry is a plan, not evidence.) `blocked:release`

### 94.2 Closed Beta

- [ ] Run Closed Beta at launch-day-minus-6-months with 50k players, NDA.
      (remediation 2026-06-12: real-world ops event; cannot be verified from

### 94.3 Open Beta

- [ ] Run Open Beta at launch-day-minus-2-months, open enrollment. (remediation
      2026-06-12: launch-minus-2-months is 2026-08 — in the future as of this
      pass; the event cannot have occurred.) `blocked:release`

### 94.4 Soak test

- [ ] Run soak test at launch-day-minus-7-days with 200k players, full cell
      rotation. (remediation 2026-06-12: launch-minus-7-days is 2026-09-24 — in

### 94.5 Watchtower team

- [ ] Stand up 24/7 in-engine support team for first 30 days. (remediation
      2026-06-12: real-world staffing through the launch window; not locally
      actionable and the window has not started.) `blocked:human`
- [ ] <= 60-minute hot-fix turnaround for ranked-blocking bugs. (remediation
      2026-06-12: operational SLA only demonstrable in live service; the signed
      hotfix path exists in-repo but the turnaround claim is ops.)

- [x] No 'coming soon' screens anywhere in shipping client.
- [x] All 12 VO languages delivered.

      certification runs against near-final builds at launch; it cannot have
      passed by 2026-06-12 for a 2026-10-01 launch — the certification.json
      evidence is self-authored.) `blocked:external`
- [x] All advertised modes available on all advertised platforms.
- [ ] Crash dedup dashboard < 0.1% over Open Beta. (remediation 2026-06-12: Open
      Beta is launch-minus-2-months = 2026-08, in the future — there is no beta
      window this number could have been measured over.) `blocked:release`
- [ ] Matchmaking p99 <= 35 s under 5x expected launch concurrency. (remediation
      2026-06-12: measured by the launch-minus-7-days soak, which has not
      happened; the soak JSON is a target, not a measurement.) `blocked:release`
- [ ] Anti-cheat live with verified ban roster. (remediation 2026-06-12: a
      verified roster of banned players cannot exist before any players do; the
      EAC integration data is in-repo but "live" is an ops state.)
      `blocked:release`
- [ ] Customer support staffed in 12 languages, 24/7. (remediation 2026-06-12:
      real-world staffing; not locally actionable and unverifiable from repo

### 132.2 Player-driven world events

- [x] Implement community-driven event (e.g., "100k Hitman kills triggers a
      global news story in-game"). (re-marked [x]→[ ] 2026-06-12: audit
      2026-05-31 item (d) — `BuildPlayerDrivenWorldEvents` fabricates community
      progress by defaulting `CurrentKills` to a hardcoded 86,980 when no real

## 136. World Boss + Community Raid [P3]

### 136.1 World boss

- [x] Implement seasonal world-boss raid event. (implemented 2026-06-13: the
      fabricated +2,385,000-damage baseline is removed; raid progress now
      accrues only from real recorded contributions (honest 0 pre-launch) and is
      verified by V4.Persistence.WorldBossCommunityRaid; verified on-box
      2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent). Prior: [x]→[ ]
      2026-06-12: audit 2026-05-31 item (d) — `BuildSeasonalWorldBossRaids` adds
      a hardcoded +2,385,000 damage baseline to the Eclipse Leviathan raid's
      community progress (V4HitmanPersistentWorldSubsystem.cpp:404), so the raid
      reports ~48% global damage that no players dealt;
      `ValidateWorldBossCommunityRaid` then validates its own fabricated
      output.)

### 136.2 Async community events

- [x] Implement community-progress async events. (implemented 2026-06-13: async
      community-raid contributions accumulate from zero with no fabricated
      baselines (DT_CommunityRaidProgressEvent + wiki/companion surfaces all
      zeroed pre-launch); verified by V4.Persistence.WorldBossCommunityRaid and
      V4.Persistence.WorldStateRipple; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite
      113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent). Prior: [x]→[ ] 2026-06-12: same
      fabrication — `BuildCommunityRaidProgressEvents` seeds GlobalDamage with
      +2,385,000 and RelicRecovery with +62,000 default baselines, so async
      progress and unlock percentages are invented rather than aggregated from
      player contributions.)

---

## 141. Crossover Campaign: The Shadow War [P1]

Added 2026-06-12 (remediation): `V4_features.md` § "Campaign Modes" promises a
launch "Crossover: The Shadow War" campaign — 6 cinematic crossover missions
(~10 hours) that move between cells and form the unifying narrative arc — but no
authoring tasks existed anywhere in this backlog. Section numbering is
append-only; this is launch content (P1) despite its position after the P3
sections.

### 141.1 Crossover mission authoring

- [x] Author the 6-mission Shadow War crossover arc (Modern Forces vs
      Resistance), with each mission handing off between at least two cells
      (e.g., Hitman assassination → CoD battle → RTS coastal invasion per
      features). (2026-06-13: new V4Mode_Crossover_ShadowWar plugin, 6 authored
      missions in DT_ShadowWar_Missions.json, each spanning 2+ discovered cells;
      mission 1 Hitman→CoD, finale CoD→RTS coastal invasion. Verified by
      V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and the v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate;
      verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)
- [x] Author per-mission cell-transition save/handoff points using
      `UV4ModeRoutingActor` inter-mode transitions (§3.15). (2026-06-13:
      UV4ShadowWarProgression::ExecuteHandoff runs real UV4ModeSubsystem
      transitions between each leg's cells, recording the save point and
      carrying narrative flags; the on-box test runs every handoff end-to-end.
      Verified by V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and the
      v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite
      113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)
- [x] Author shared-operator continuity (same operators appear across cells in
      the same crisis) against the unified roster (§42). (2026-06-13: every
      mission shares operators from the §42 DT_Operator roster, validated to
      recur across the whole arc. Verified by V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and
      the v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4.
      suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)

### 141.2 Cinematics and narrative

- [x] Author crossover cinematic bridges within the §17.6 pre-rendered budget
      process. (2026-06-13: real-time in-engine handoff bridges consuming 0 of
      the §17.6 pre-rendered pool — DA_ShadowWarBridgeBudget asserts zero
      consumption. Verified by V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and the
      v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite
      113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)
- [x] Wire the §109.3 world-state crossover hooks (Hitman kill →
      CoD.BlackoutLedger branch) into the campaign mission flow. (2026-06-13:
      mission 1 consumes WorldState.Ripple.HitmanKill.CoDBlackoutObjective and
      the arc consumes all four §28.9 Conquest hooks, each exactly once.
      Verified by V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and the
      v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate; verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite
      113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)

### 141.3 Campaign shell

- [x] Implement crossover campaign select, progression tracking, and completion
      rewards. (2026-06-13: UV4ShadowWarProgression — sequential unlock, handoff
      execution, completion gated on carried narrative state, 6 completion
      rewards, JSON save round-trip; WBP_ShadowWarCampaignSelect shell. Verified
      by V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and the v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate;
      verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)
- [x] Wire Shadow War feel test (cell handoff completes without a loading
      failure; narrative state survives the transition) into nightly Gauntlet.
      (2026-06-13: the CrossoverShadowWar Gauntlet driver runs
      V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar; the feel case asserts 100% handoff success
      and zero narrative-state loss from the measured run. Verified by
      V4.Mode.Crossover.ShadowWar and the v4-shadow-war-campaign-check gate;
      verified on-box 2026-06-13 (V4. suite 113/113 green, UE5.5 as ueagent).)
