- the rig-palette copy-on-write copies the live prefix, never the capacity: ~6.3 MB of memcpy per frame — paid everywhere, however few rigs were awake — becomes the ~250 KB actually live, ~25× smaller and observationally identical
- a frozen model-particle pool stays hidden (spell shards were drawing through walls and the cull forever), and a parked rig's animation event tracks fall silent like the reference's — except MORE_AUDIBLE creatures, so off-screen combat stays audible while the rest of the world goes properly quiet
- an automatic dismount no longer keeps the mount's run speed on foot (the reported `.tele` repro): a mover's speeds stage for the whole drain instead of being written live mid-teleport
- a dead character's portraits show the living face again: the ghost death-screen pass was leaking into every portrait bake — all eight portraits, paper doll, inspect, dress-up — because the death gate was the one combine lane with no per-view scale; post-fix the bake reads MAE 0.000 against the living control while the world still goes steel-blue on release
