[T5.2] Tiles wall stops re-animating on the cut (persistent-sources slice 2, on T5.1) #448
Description
Activity
PR #511 implements this — slice 2 of the persistent-sources redesign, and the first real consumer of the #419
SourceRegistry.The root cause turned out to be one level deeper than the first fix assumed.
TilesPlanAnimation::adoptSettledFrom(the 2026-09-09 hand-over) could only move a settled wall, because with two per-bus animators mid-flight state had no correct owner — so a wall taken mid-animation still broke. PR #511 replaces the hand-over with one animator per wall (core::TilesWallSource, keyed by wall id, shared by both buses): there is nothing to hand over, and the cut is continuous even mid-flight.adoptSettledFromis deleted.Correction to this issue's own description of the symptom: the wall does not "replay from alpha 0".
TilesAnimatortreats a reset animator's next non-emptysample()as an adoption, so the wall snaps to its final state — alpha pops to 1, mid-spring rects jump to settled. That is the opposite direction, and it matters: anEXPECT_GE(alpha_after, alpha_before)assertion is satisfied by a snap just as well as by continuity and catches nothing (the first draft of the headline test passed against the unfixed code).Verified: 978 native tests green on a Release core;
