Combat roster and identity evidence

October 8, 2026 · Identity audit #683 · Fidelity grades

This crosswalk records current assignments, not certified original-game identities. Runtime IDs MUST remain stable until a migration accounts for saved data, quests, drops, spawners, attack tables and boss encounters. Display names and filenames alone MUST NOT establish behavior.

Coverage contract

Every EnemyData resource MUST have one crosswalk entry and a family validation issue. Its ID, display name, model, effective animation rig and boss flag MUST match the recorded assignment.
Every resource MUST have attack data. Attack-only entries MUST be reported with a specific reason and follow-up issue; new or stale exceptions MUST fail the check.
Every source ID MUST resolve to a resource model or an explicit exclusion/alias. Imported or unidentified rigs MUST be marked separately from source-ID matches.
Boss definitions MUST have encounter coverage, including encounters without a standalone EnemyData resource. Differences between encounter and resource rigs MUST be explicit.
Identity evidence MUST distinguish local assignments, source-table matches, bestiary claims, hypotheses and unknowns. A source-table match proves the internal model name, not a display name, attack kit or visual fidelity.
Run python3 scripts/tools/check_combat_roster.py. Passing means known coverage is accounted for; it MUST NOT close a family issue or raise its playtest grade.

Evidence and unresolved identities

Tank and swordman assignments conflict

data/re_reference/enemy_ids.json bestiary explicitly identifies tank as Arkzein (source slot 40). Current phobos/phobos_dyna use tank/tank_rare (40/41); arkzein/arkzein_r use swordman/swordman_rare (48/50); zaphobos/zaphobos_dyna use swordman_b/swordman_rare_b (49/51). The saved reference proves the base tank naming conflict but does not establish every swordman or rare display name. User direction on 2026-10-10 remaps Zaphobos/Dyna to tank/tank_rare; this is an explicit game mapping, not a new bestiary identification. Follow-up correction: Phobos/Dyna now use swordman_b/swordman_rare_b as the melee pair.

Next: Recover variant bestiary labels before proposing a complete display-name/ID migration. Use rigs, not current names, for #688/#689 comparisons. #683

Mother family and shrine boss are distinct

ROM overlay 31 and live body-transition capture identify Mother Trinity as boss_mother (66); the resource now uses that rig. Source mother (57) is the separate tower Heaven Mother. Humilias now uses source65 with its own robot controller.

Next: Port tower Mother (57) independently; verify authored arenas in #718. The new Trinity test encounter retains the tower arena selection but does not identify Trinity as a tower Mother. #683

Robot encounter and orphan attack data

Paru source63/64 and Arca source65 now have distinct dedicated controllers and arena routing. Existing pack combined mesh stored as boss_robot.

Next: Complete target/motion/status fidelity, full original split geometry and campaign playtests. #716

Shinowa and Sinow encounter collision

shinowa resource displays Sinow Beat, but sinow_beat has its own resource and rig. The boss encounter keyed sinow_beat loads shinowa. Neither rig occurs in the vendored retail source-ID table; the October 7 viewer inventory also lacks these models. A missing model-table entry does not establish which game supplied shinowa.

Next: Trace imported asset provenance and intended arena identity across #713/#720 before sharing or swapping their behavior. #713

Source coverage and additions

The source crosswalk explicitly excludes sample, the empty slot, boss_robot_cmb (alias), boss_mother_piece (procedural runtime component without a standalone resource), and tower mother (57), whose previous resource was misidentified as Mother Trinity. Four PSO additions and unresolved shinowa remain outside this source table. Paru source63/64 and Arca source65 now have distinct dedicated controllers and arena routing; the combined mesh is stored as boss_robot. Coverage does not establish original behavior or encounter identity.

Next: Keep source exclusions visible. #718 must verify whether Mother parts are actually implemented; a FieldPopulation comment saying they are boss-owned is not runtime proof. #683

Local PSZ Mini checkout inspected at a3836afc1780ee8a41078d4f1299141252a8f91b. No function-to-retail-family identity proof was established in this audit. Retained Mini behavior remains valid evidence when traced to matching code; this audit does not infer missing gameplay from the demo label.

Resource crosswalk

Source numbers come from the vendored psz-re table at 0x020F9E6C. Blank source IDs mean no match in that table, not proof of a missing enemy. Animation shows the effective rig after the resource's fallback.

Boss encounters

ID	Model	Disposition	Ticket
reyburn	boss_dragon	Matches resource model; original behavior pending.	#714
octo_diablo	boss_octopus	Matches resource model; original behavior pending.	#715
humilias	boss_robot_cmb	Combined/split robot controller; original source65 stats. Pack mesh alias is explicit.	#718
chaos_mobius	boss_robot	Dedicated split robot controller; remaining parity gaps in /states/robot-bosses.	#716
chaos_sorcerer	chaos_sorcerer	Matches resource model; original behavior pending.	#721
sinow_beat	shinowa	Encounter uses shinowa, not the sinow_beat resource rig; identity unresolved.	#713
heavens_mother	mother_sword	Composite of blade/force/shot_mother; no standalone resource.	#690
dark_falz	boss_darkfalz	Matches resource model; original behavior pending.	#717
mother_trinity	boss_mother	Fixed body in broken north platform edge; see animation reference #755. Piece tactics and attack geometry remain partial.	#690

Attack-only entries

chaos_mobius_paru: Known orphan: attack table only; no resource or boss definition. References in boss notes do not make this playable. #716

Catalog discrepancies

shinowa.presence: EnemyData exists but data/enemies.json omits shinowa; source identity needs reconciliation. #713

sinow_beat.model_id: JSON metadata and boss encounter use shinowa, while EnemyData uses sinow_beat. Resolve provenance before changing consumers. #720

Source slots without standalone resources

#0 sample: Sample slot; no matching source NARC. #683

#64 (empty): Empty source slot. #683

#67 boss_mother_piece: Boss component excluded from room population. Trinity now spawns three procedural independently damageable test pieces; original rig/board tactics remain unported. #718

#57 mother: Tower Heaven Mother has no dedicated resource after correcting the old mother_trinity misidentification to source 66. Authored three-Mother encounter remains available. #690

Reproducible evidence

The machine-readable crosswalk is data/combat_roster.json. It cites data/re_reference/enemy_ids.json, boss_roster.json, the October 7 enemy_viewer_audit.json, current data/enemies/*.tres, data/enemies.json and data/boss_arenas.json. These are repository snapshots, not a claim to have fetched newer upstream evidence.
