Signature matches the **D161 family** — a CI-format tile drawn without the expected TLUT state, so fast3d's `import_texture` indexes a **stale `rdp.palette`**. D161 fixed the explicit `G_TT_NONE` case; this looks like model DLs not emitting `gDPLoadTLUT` through the port path, or the palette segment not resolving for weapon/character geometry. **Not a D215 regression** — D215 only un-gated the DL. | **FIXED (M-90/M-92/M-97; PR #47 texpool alignment + PR #49 CI-cache palette key) — the green-texture defect is fixed and merged, confirmed by two independent human playtests. The white missing-texture residual (AK47 / NPC-held world-model weapons) is split out as D228.** Status cell had gone stale at OPEN; corrected M-105. History: root cause characterised M-86; headless repro: `-level_34` FACILITY ~frame 300–400, PP7 **grip = flat green block** + green ring at the barrel joint + green-cast hand; barrel/slide upper correct black. Also green on `-level_30` DEPOT. **Clean on `-level_09` BUNKER1** (A/B control — same PP7, identical DL). **Two separate defects found:** ① **Wrong palette bound (the visible green — upstream of fast3d).** The grip is a CI4 solid-fill of palette index 0. Green `(24,65,0)` == RGBA5551 `0x1A00` == `rdp.palette[0]` at grip-import time. The grip's `count=1` model `G_LOADTLUT` is fed **different source bytes per level** for the same tile: BUNKER `00 01`→`PD_BE16`→`0x0001` (black ✓), FACILITY `1a 00`→`0x1A00` (green ✗). fast3d byteswaps + stores faithfully (proven correct by BUNKER) — the wrong bytes *arrive* from the model-DL / segment-address path. Strong tell: every *larger* model TLUT has `raw[0]==raw[1]==0x0000` with real colour from index 2 ⇒ GE's model-TLUT payload likely carries a **4-byte (2-entry) leading zero pad**, OR the port's model-TLUT source pointer is **4 bytes / 2 entries too low** (then the `count=1` grip load reads the tail of the preceding CI blob — BUNKER lucky, FACILITY not; fits "widespread across levels + weapons"). Ruled out this session: not tail-overflow (index 0 is in-range; matches M-85 `GE_D217Z`), not the fast3d byteswap. **Next:** dump the grip TLUT `G_SETTIMG` target vs the ROM/`pcmodels` sidecar PP7-grip material bytes; confirm the 4-byte offset vs N64; fix in model-DL segment resolution or `tools_pc/d43_emit.py` blob placement (sidecar regen). ② **CI texture-cache collision (proven, real, separate; fix landed).** `gfx_texture_cache_lookup` (`gfx_pc.cpp:522`) keyed CI textures on `{addr, palette_addrs[0/1], palidx, size_bytes}` with **no palette-content check**; GE reissues `gDPLoadTLUT` from repeated scratch-arena addresses with different content, so a later material could take a stale HIT and sample another material's decoded palette. **Fix on branch `fix/d217-model-texture-palette` (commit `f6fc0399`):** FNV-1a hash of the 512-byte `rdp.palette` computed only in `gfx_dp_load_tlut()`, added to the CI cache key (`port/fast3d/gfx_pc.{cpp,h}`, fast3d-internal, no `#ifdef`). Cheap, cannot worsen a decode; **owes a full 21-level `verify.sh sweep`** before merge (touches every palettized world texture's import path — cache-churn risk only). Does **not** fix defect ①. Screenshots: session scratchpad `d217/`, `fac_gun_crop.png`. Cross-ref `docs/dev/GRAPHICS-BACKLOG.md`. **User playtest matrix (M-87, raw notes — not yet triaged):** DAM/PPK: watch still green; AK47 viewmodel has white (missing-texture) patches on the magazine + barrel. FACILITY: PPK garbled **green AND blue**; 3rd-person Bond world model shows greenness on level load-in; AK47 has "weird blue / glitched" textures. JUNGLE: M16 viewmodel is orange in spots. Confirms multi-weapon (PP7/AK47/M16), multi-color (green/blue/white/orange) — consistent with the upstream model-TLUT-source theory (different trailing garbage per weapon/material) rather than one single fixed offset. **Scope clarified (M-87):** not just Bond's 1P viewmodel / 3P world model — **NPC-held weapon models (other characters' guns in third person) show the same glitched-color/white-missing texture symptom.** So the defect is in the shared weapon-model-DL/TLUT path used by *any* character holding that weapon, not something specific to Bond's model or the 1P viewmodel rig — widens the likely fix surface (weapon model loading in general) beyond "Bond's gun." **M-87 clarification:** not uniform across levels — severity and glitch *type* both vary per level (some levels show it lightly, some not at all in a given session, and the specific wrong-color/missing pLine truncated

Superseded history below, which began: **OPEN — observed, not investigated.** Next: `GE_PCDUMP`/`GE_TEXDUMP` a Dam PPK explosion; check whether it's the same `gfx_lod_tile_offset` tile-sampling defect D172 fixed for blood, on an explosion DL D172's fix didn't touch. **Status: re-checked at runtime M-90 — mechanism covered by the D172 fix on current `main`; close pending a human by-eye pass (folds into PR #47 playtest).** **M-89 triage (local-Qwen, static analysis only, not yet runtime-confirmed):** the explosion DLs (`assets/oddtextures.c` `globalDL_0x078/0x120/0x1c8/0x270…`) use the same `G_CYC_2CYCLE`+`G_CC_INTERFERENCE,G_CC_MODULATEIA2`+`G_TL_TILE`, tile0=IA smoke/tile1=RGBA fire mechanism as the already-fixed D172 blood/spark records — no separate/unfixed code path found in `explosion.c` or the asset DLs. If still purple after D172's fix (which the user's Dam report postdates — needs re-confirming on current `main`), the next suspect is the GLSL combiner implementation of `G_CC_INTERFERENCE`+`G_CC_MODULATEIA2` for cycle 2 specifically (`gfx_generate_cc`, `port/fast3d/gfx_pc.cpp:312-494`), not the tile-offset fix. **Next, concrete:** run Dam (`-level_33`) with `GE_D172=1` while triggering a PPK/grenade explosion and check for "BUG" lines in the log (silence = D172's fix already covers this DL and the row can likely close on a re-test; needs a scripted-fire repro, not yet built). **M-90 runtime re-check DONE (scripted-fire repro built with `GE_INPUTSCRIPT`): the D172 fix demonstrably covers Dam's particle DLs — row can close on a human by-eye pass.** Ran `-level_33` headless with `GE_D172=1`, 64 scripted Z-pulses (`GE_INPUTSCRIPT="200:Z;215:Z;..."`, ~15 controller-reads apart) and a `GE_PCDUMP` window over the same span. Result: **40/40 particle multitex tris log `SAMPLED1=tile1 (tmem=392)`** — the correct RGBA fire tile, i.e. exactly the post-D172-fix behaviour (pre-fix these read `SAMPLED1 = tile0 (tmem=0 fmt=IA)`, the smoke texture); **zero** "BUG"/unknown-GBI/D146-abort lines; **0** purple/magenta pixels (`r>120, b>120, g<90, r-g>50, b-g>50`) across all 28 captured frames. Caveat: the user's M-87 "purple" report may predate the D172 fix on their binary (playtests run on whatever build was current); this re-check proves the sampling path is correct on current `main`, which is as far as a headless pass can take it — a final by-eye look at a live Dam PPK firefight is the honest closer (cheap for the user, folds into the D217 PR #47 playtest). **M-108 — REOPENED, the by-eye closer FAILED.** User played a live Dam (`-level_33`) PPK firefight on the current `main` build (post-D233/D234 fixes, same session as D243) and confirmed explosions are **still blue/purple**, directly contradicting M-90's clean scripted-repro result (40/40 correct-tile samples, 0 purple pixels, 28 frames). This means the M-90 `GE_INPUTSCRIPT` scripted-fire repro was very likely **not exercising the same explosion instance/DL the live firefight hits** — plausible gaps: a different explosion variant (grenade vs. bullet-impact spark vs. enemy-death vs. PPK-specific muzzle/hit effect) using a DL the scripted test's Z-pulses didn't trigger, or a state/lighting/prim-color condition (M-89's alternate suspect: the `G_CC_INTERFERENCE`+`G_CC_MODULATEIA2` cycle-2 GLSL combiner implementation, `gfx_generate_cc`, `port/fast3d/gfx_pc.cpp:312-494`) that only manifests under conditions the synthetic repro didn't reproduce. **Do not trust the M-90 all-clear for this finding going forward** — it proved one particle path clean, not that Dam's live-fire purple is fixed. Next: a live `GE_PCDUMP`/`GE_D172=1` capture during an actual purple explosion in real play (not a scripted approximation) is now the only way forward — need to pin down exactly what triggers it (PPK gunshots hitting a surface/enemy? a thrown/tossed explosive? which). **User has now confirmed (2026-09-12) this is NOT Dam-exclusive — game-wide, not just suspected.** Treat as confirmed scope, not pending a second-level check. **User wants this actively fixed, not just triaged** — next session should prioritize a live `GE_PCDUMP`/`GE_D172=1` capture during a real explosion (any level) over further static analysis, since the M-89/M-90 static passes are exhausted on this finding without producing a fix. **New HIGH-interest lead (M-110): `explosion.c` never clears `G_LIGHTING` before drawing any of the 15 particle DLs** (`globalDL_0x078` through `0Line truncated

Superseded history below, which began: **OPEN — observed, not investigated.** Next: `GE_PCDUMP`/`GE_TEXDUMP` a Dam PPK explosion; check whether it's the same `gfx_lod_tile_offset` tile-sampling defect D172 fixed for blood, on an explosion DL D172's fix didn't touch. **Status: re-checked at runtime M-90 — mechanism covered by the D172 fix on current `main`; close pending a human by-eye pass (folds into PR #47 playtest).** **M-89 triage (local-Qwen, static analysis only, not yet runtime-confirmed):** the explosion DLs (`assets/oddtextures.c` `globalDL_0x078/0x120/0x1c8/0x270…`) use the same `G_CYC_2CYCLE`+`G_CC_INTERFERENCE,G_CC_MODULATEIA2`+`G_TL_TILE`, tile0=IA smoke/tile1=RGBA fire mechanism as the already-fixed D172 blood/spark records — no separate/unfixed code path found in `explosion.c` or the asset DLs. If still purple after D172's fix (which the user's Dam report postdates — needs re-confirming on current `main`), the next suspect is the GLSL combiner implementation of `G_CC_INTERFERENCE`+`G_CC_MODULATEIA2` for cycle 2 specifically (`gfx_generate_cc`, `port/fast3d/gfx_pc.cpp:312-494`), not the tile-offset fix. **Next, concrete:** run Dam (`-level_33`) with `GE_D172=1` while triggering a PPK/grenade explosion and check for "BUG" lines in the log (silence = D172's fix already covers this DL and the row can likely close on a re-test; needs a scripted-fire repro, not yet built). **M-90 runtime re-check DONE (scripted-fire repro built with `GE_INPUTSCRIPT`): the D172 fix demonstrably covers Dam's particle DLs — row can close on a human by-eye pass.** Ran `-level_33` headless with `GE_D172=1`, 64 scripted Z-pulses (`GE_INPUTSCRIPT="200:Z;215:Z;..."`, ~15 controller-reads apart) and a `GE_PCDUMP` window over the same span. Result: **40/40 particle multitex tris log `SAMPLED1=tile1 (tmem=392)`** — the correct RGBA fire tile, i.e. exactly the post-D172-fix behaviour (pre-fix these read `SAMPLED1 = tile0 (tmem=0 fmt=IA)`, the smoke texture); **zero** "BUG"/unknown-GBI/D146-abort lines; **0** purple/magenta pixels (`r>120, b>120, g<90, r-g>50, b-g>50`) across all 28 captured frames. Caveat: the user's M-87 "purple" report may predate the D172 fix on their binary (playtests run on whatever build was current); this re-check proves the sampling path is correct on current `main`, which is as far as a headless pass can take it — a final by-eye look at a live Dam PPK firefight is the honest closer (cheap for the user, folds into the D217 PR #47 playtest). **M-108 — REOPENED, the by-eye closer FAILED.** User played a live Dam (`-level_33`) PPK firefight on the current `main` build (post-D233/D234 fixes, same session as D243) and confirmed explosions are **still blue/purple**, directly contradicting M-90's clean scripted-repro result (40/40 correct-tile samples, 0 purple pixels, 28 frames). This means the M-90 `GE_INPUTSCRIPT` scripted-fire repro was very likely **not exercising the same explosion instance/DL the live firefight hits** — plausible gaps: a different explosion variant (grenade vs. bullet-impact spark vs. enemy-death vs. PPK-specific muzzle/hit effect) using a DL the scripted test's Z-pulses didn't trigger, or a state/lighting/prim-color condition (M-89's alternate suspect: the `G_CC_INTERFERENCE`+`G_CC_MODULATEIA2` cycle-2 GLSL combiner implementation, `gfx_generate_cc`, `port/fast3d/gfx_pc.cpp:312-494`) that only manifests under conditions the synthetic repro didn't reproduce. **Do not trust the M-90 all-clear for this finding going forward** — it proved one particle path clean, not that Dam's live-fire purple is fixed. Next: a live `GE_PCDUMP`/`GE_D172=1` capture during an actual purple explosion in real play (not a scripted approximation) is now the only way forward — need to pin down exactly what triggers it (PPK gunshots hitting a surface/enemy? a thrown/tossed explosive? which). **User has now confirmed (2026-09-12) this is NOT Dam-exclusive — game-wide, not just suspected.** Treat as confirmed scope, not pending a second-level check. **User wants this actively fixed, not just triaged** — next session should prioritize a live `GE_PCDUMP`/`GE_D172=1` capture during a real explosion (any level) over further static analysis, since the M-89/M-90 static passes are exhausted on this finding without producing a fix. **New HIGH-interest lead (M-110): `explosion.c` never clears `G_LIGHTING` before drawing any of the 15 particle DLs** (`globalDL_0x078` through `0x9a8` in `assets/oddtextures.c`, all structurally identical, all `G_CC_INTERFERENCE`+`G_CC_MODULATEIA2`) — grepped every particle-draw call site in `explosion.c` (`gSPClearGeometryMode` calls at lines 883/1495/1718/2227 only ever clear `G_CULL_BOTH`/`G_FOG`/`G_CULL_FRONT`, never `G_LIGHTING`) and confirmed `G_CC_INTERFERENLine truncated
