# Stockade Weapon Utilities Playtest — 2026-10-05

## Outcome

Two normal offline Bite-Sized Stockade / Cellblock Rush runs completed with a level-30 Discipline Priest profile and four Ready NPC companions. Each run seeded and defeated exactly one real Stockade boss through ordinary UI play. The same frozen build and content snapshot were used both times. The first run's boss clear is valid, but its live weapon telemetry was lost in the route-sample projection; one corrected run was performed and retained as a separate run record. No further gameplay run was made.

Both runs used build SHA-256 `58dfe50765b0635caeae50bd3eca2fd079cd69cce0e571ff6cb2dd5aeec77b39` and content-manifest SHA-256 `36614a23f3b98b4289bc3726c8a9bdb075445ada50dfce6504ade4e36325be1f`. The before/after build and content hashes matched on both runs. Each run served and verified 2,124 manifest-referenced hash-addressed content objects, with zero integrity failures and no page errors. Parent audit also confirmed the frozen inputs and sampled assets were unchanged.

| Run | Seeded boss | Native result | Player effective healing | Deaths |
| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| `20261006-012123000` | Hamhock, entry 1717, actor `creature-79098` | 1/1 clear, 03:14.6 | 3,057.6 | 0 player, 0 party |
| `20261006-013934624` | Bazil Thredd, entry 1716, actor `creature-79124` | 1/1 clear, 03:20.7 | 1,504.5 | 0 player, 0 party |

The route result is recorded in each run's `run-record.json`, including the visible native dungeon-results text and required boss ID. The `boss-arrival.png` capture also shows the post-clear results panel with the single boss marked defeated.

## Corrected live telemetry

The corrected run retained 328 source NPC snapshots and 764 sampled combat events. Each mob snapshot now carries `dualWieldEnabled`, `nextEnemyOffhandAttackAt`, `pendingExtraAttacks`, and `lastDamagedActorId` through to the final route evidence. Bazil Thredd's `dualWieldEnabled` was true in 35 samples. No sampled mob had a positive offhand timer: all 328 `nextEnemyOffhandAttackAt` values were zero. No nonempty pending-extra-attack queue, non-null `lastDamagedActorId`, or non-null `attackHand` on source attack definitions or retained combat events was observed. These are ordinary snapshots, so short-lived states or events may fall between polls.

The captured run's original summary field `samplesWithOffhandSchedule` counted 328 non-null timer fields, including zero. It must not be read as 328 scheduled attacks. The raw rows show 328 zero values and zero positive timers. The harness counter has since been corrected to report timer-field presence separately from positive scheduled timestamps; this source-only counter fix was syntax/preparation checked and was not used to run another dungeon.

Global combat-store telemetry captured 26 snapshots of the Disease aura **Infected Wound** on the party tank. All snapshots share one stable aura instance and one stack. Four distinct source/application/expiry tuples were observed, each with a 300,000 ms duration:

- `creature-79035`, applied at `1791250853253`
- `creature-79042`, applied at `1791250872255`
- `creature-79065`, applied at `1791250898558`
- `creature-79062`, applied at `1791250928053`

No active aura snapshots for Bloodlust (`6742`) or Disarm (`6713`) were recorded. The first run's Hamhock checkpoint had `smart-1717-2-bloodlust: 1` in its ability-cast counter while unengaged; that counter alone does not prove the aura landed. No live outcome claim is made for Bloodlust, Disarm, or Thrash. Aura snapshots and combat events are sampled, so zero observations cannot establish that an effect never occurred.

## First-run telemetry limitation

The first run's route result contains 327 source NPC samples, but a later sample-projection whitelist dropped all four requested weapon fields. Its 327 null summaries describe the harness projection gap, not evidence that the runtime lacked weapon state. That run also filtered global aura telemetry to older unrelated IDs, so it cannot establish whether the new utility auras reached party targets. The first run's raw route and screenshots were preserved without rewriting; the corrected run above supplies the usable measurements.

The second run's mob route samples and global source-aura snapshots are available in `playtest-artifacts/stockade-weapon-utilities/20261006-013934624/weapon-utilities-evidence.json` and `campaign/final-build-20261006-013937115/bite-sized-stormwind-stockade-campaign-boss-route.json`. The first run's matching artifacts remain under `playtest-artifacts/stockade-weapon-utilities/20261006-012123000/`.

## Screenshots

Both runs saved the Priest roster preview, compact roster preview, campaign picker, dungeon entrance, equipped party silhouettes, three route checkpoints, and a results capture named `boss-arrival.png`. The player robe/shoulders/staff and several companion bodies with staff/club/shield silhouettes are visible in the route captures. Party clustering and overlap prevent a complete per-companion gear audit from these screenshots.

The same capture set is in `playtest-artifacts/stockade-weapon-utilities/20261006-012123000/campaign/final-build-20261006-012126038/`. Parent review found the player and party silhouettes visible there as well, with the same overlap limit.

## Scope and cleanup

The harness used normal UI character creation, dungeon selection, movement, targeting, attacks, support healing, and party commands. It did not use Boss Testing, teleports, collision bypass, combat-state writes, manual aura or health seeding, loot claims, or readiness promotion. The corrected run exited successfully; the wrapper's cleanup path closed its browser and server and removed its generated temporary campaign wrapper.

After this run, only the new harness and this report were updated. The post-run counter change affects future evidence summaries only; no gameplay state, build, content snapshot, or prior run evidence was modified.
