The next revision should therefore use a hybrid policy: follow a valid living soldier by default, periodically evaluate combat points of interest, switch to a clearly stronger point of interest only occasionally, hold it briefly, and return to a valid soldier when the point of interest is no longer useful or its anchor disappears. This preserves the dependable soldier basis while still showing meaningful action. No code change is included yet; see `docs/HANDOFF_CAMERA_HYBRID_REVIEW.md` for the implementation handoff. +The engine exposes no direct killer or instigator field to this activity. The implementation therefore uses conservative inference from supported Lua APIs: `AHuman.EquippedItem`, `HDFirearm.FiredFrame`, `HDFirearm.MuzzlePos`, `Actor:GetAimAngle(true)`, `Actor:IsDead()`, `Actor.Health`, `MOSRotating.WoundCount`, and `MovableObject.UniqueID`. A camera event is eligible only when the followed soldier fired within `400` ms, exactly one opposing actor has an observed live-to-dead transition (or is removed after death was already observed), the victim is `180–1200` pixels away, and the victim lies within an aim dot threshold of `0.85` (about ±32 degrees). Unexplained disappearance, ambiguous deaths, stale fire, nearby deaths, out-of-cone deaths, and already-handled victim IDs are rejected. + +An accepted event holds the victim's last meaningful position for `2000` ms and starts a `4000` ms event cooldown. The prior soldier reference is retained and reused if still alive; otherwise a new living soldier is selected. Handled victim IDs, tracked actor state, shot context, event state, and cooldown state are cleared between rounds. One event can therefore produce at most one response per round.

The current work is a staged AI V2 foundation designed to improve squad-level coordination without replacing the engine's native human AI or changing the existing touchdown/release safety behavior. + +The implementation is intentionally conservative: production remains `AI_V2_MODE = "OFF"`. AI V2 currently supports round-scoped observations and pure decision helpers, while SHADOW mode is available for proposal/telemetry capture. No behavior-enabled comparison has been made yet. + +## Current architecture + +- `SpectatorArena.lua` owns round setup, faction selection, actor spawning, touchdown gating, battle lifecycle, native AI configuration, telemetry, and camera behavior. +- `NativeHumanAI` remains responsible for local actor behavior: aiming, firing, reload, locomotion, jetpack use, digging, and immediate reactions. +- `SpectatorAIController.lua` is the AI V2 coordinator/state layer. It currently stores observations and deterministic rules without directly controlling actors. +- `SpectatorTelemetry.lua` emits structured `SPECTATOR_EVENT` records and can snapshot them to `SPECTATOR_EVENT_LOG.txt`. +- `spectator_soak_report.py` parses runtime event logs and reports round counts, winners, durations, incomplete rounds, and watchdog events. + +## AI V2 design + +The approved design uses a coordinator above native AI with four intended modes: + +- `OFF`: current production behavior. +- `SHADOW`: observe and propose, but never apply actor control. +- `TASKS`: assign bounded squad tasks. +- `TACTICAL`: apply carefully gated tactical orders after evidence supports activation. + +The intended squad model is two four-actor squads per team. Planned tasks are `PRESSURE`, `MANEUVER`, `SEARCH`, `REGROUP`, and `RECOVER`. The design includes engagement locks, imperfect contact memory, task hysteresis, soft target reservations, progress/recovery escalation, and weapon/environment scoring. + +## Implemented AI V2 capabilities + +### Contact and engagement state + +- Frozen direct-contact positions. +- Lower-confidence memory/shared reports do not rewrite the frozen direct position. +- Configurable contact expiry, currently defaulting to 3000 ms. +- Engagement locks with explicit expiry. + +### Tasks, reservations, and recovery + +- Task assignment hysteresis prevents rapid task churn. +- Target reservations enforce a per-target limit and remove stale reservations. +- Progress observations escalate recovery one stage at a time, bounded by a configurable maximum. + +### Weapon and environment scoring + +- Pure weapon classification into `CLOSE`, `MID`, `LONG`, or `UNKNOWN`. +- Destination scoring considers distance, cover, line of sight, and threat. +- Candidate destination selection rejects marginal improvements to reduce oscillation. + +### SHADOW observations + +After all living actors pass the existing touchdown/release gate, SHADOW mode can observe: + +- nearest opponent and distance; +- line of sight; +- current-frame firearm firing; +- health and previous health; +- current AI waypoint and path state; +- progress toward the current waypoint; +- recovery stage. + +These observations emit `AI_SHADOW_OBSERVATION` telemetry and do not set AIMode, add or clear waypoints, alter position, alter health, alter inventory, or inject controller input. + +## Verified engine APIs + +Observation-safe APIs include actor health/previous health, aim angle, last AI waypoint, move-path state, dig/jump properties, firearm firing/muzzle state, wound count, SceneMan distance/ray queries, MovableMan local MO queries, AI timing values, and bounded path-calculation interfaces. + +Mutating interfaces such as `ClearAIWaypoints`, `AddAISceneWaypoint`, `AddAIMOWaypoint`, `SetMovePathToUpdate`, actor setters, and controller-input methods are reserved for future TASKS/TACTICAL work. No direct killer/instigator binding was identified, so future contact attribution must remain conservative and inference-based. + +## Verification status + +Passing checks: + +- Lua controller tests under the cached Fengari runner. +- Lua telemetry test. +- Python test suite: 3 tests. +- SHADOW integration source tests: 3 tests. +- `git diff --check`. +- `RTE.sln` Debug Release x64 build with 0 errors. + +The build still emits existing compiler warnings; no new build failure is present. + +## Runtime evidence + +Telemetry transport was verified through activity-scoped `SPECTATOR_EVENT_LOG.txt` snapshots and orderly shutdown behavior. The preliminary OFF sample contains four completed rounds across two short runs: + +- Ronin wins: 2. +- Dummy wins: 2. +- Watchdog events: 0. +- Completed-round durations: approximately 34.0–60.5 seconds. + +This is not an activation baseline. The approved evidence gate requires at least 50 completed OFF-mode rounds before defining activation thresholds. + +## Known limitations and discrepancies + +- AI V2 scoring helpers are implemented and tested but are not yet driving actor behavior. +- No non-default SHADOW trace has been captured or reviewed yet. +- No claim can be made about improved win rate, tactical quality, CPU/UPS impact, recovery quality, or hidden-position violations. +- The nearest-enemy observation is conservative but does not provide direct killer/instigator attribution. +- The existing camera-review files are separate user work and remain dirty/uncommitted. + +## Recommended next steps + +1. Capture a short, non-default SHADOW trace while keeping the repository's committed production default at `OFF`. +2. Extend the soak parser only for fields proven by the captured trace, then review contact plausibility, observation volume, recovery correlation, and malformed-line behavior. +3. Complete the 50-round OFF baseline and record winner distribution, duration distribution, watchdog rate, incomplete rounds, runtime stability, and CPU/UPS if available. +4. Compare SHADOW proposals/observations against the OFF baseline. Separate measured facts, inferences, and unanswered questions. +5. Ask for explicit approval before changing the default from OFF or applying TASKS behavior. +6.

Add aggregate counters and measured execution-cost fields to the next SHADOW trace. +3. Run a second semantic SHADOW smoke requiring LOS-positive, contact, firing, and damage evidence. +4. Complete the 50-round OFF baseline and record winner distribution, duration distribution, watchdog rate, incomplete rounds, runtime stability, and CPU/UPS if available. +5. Compare SHADOW observations against the OFF baseline, then request explicit approval before changing the default from OFF or applying TASKS behavior. 6. Only after evidence supports it, implement one narrow behavior-enabled experiment with rollback and a matched OFF comparison. ## Recent committed work From 92b5439292061ac849b020ba691892512706e01f Mon

See `docs/HANDOFF_CAMERA_HYBRID_REVIEW.md` before implementing that revision. +The current Camera Director now uses the hybrid policy: soldier-following remains the default, with occasional, stability-limited switches to a stronger combat point of interest. Human review found the POI switch can be abrupt and late. The next revision should make the camera event-aware so a likely off-screen kill by the followed soldier briefly brings the event location into view.
