Complete successful real game-runtime map-load validation

[dayflaree]

Objective

Complete a future successful real game-runtime map-load validation row.

Background

Issue #132 recorded real Garry's Mod dedicated-server execution and a clear failure before successful map load. The project still lacks a successful runtime evidence row with a loaded map.

Required work

• Choose a legally usable runtime/game environment.
• Use a Source Weaver-generated or Source Weaver-compiled BSP that does not require proprietary asset redistribution.
• Copy/install the BSP into the runtime maps directory.
• Launch the real runtime or dedicated server with the map.
• Capture logs proving successful map load.
• If using a client runtime, capture player spawn, lighting/material visibility, collision, and trigger smoke evidence where possible.
• Record exact runtime path/version, command, map path, BSP hash, logs, and limitations.
• Update docs/runtime-map-load-validation.md with a successful row.

Acceptance criteria

• A real game runtime successfully loads the map.
• Evidence distinguishes client-rendered validation from dedicated-server validation.
• Logs/screenshots/recordings are sanitized and do not expose private content.
• No proprietary game content, runtime binaries, BSPs, private assets, or private paths are committed.

Non-goals

• Do not treat compile success as runtime success.
• Do not treat a failed runtime launch as a successful load.

Blocker status checked after completing all currently actionable tickets.

Result

This remains open. I did not certify successful real game-runtime map load because no new successful runtime map-load evidence was produced. Existing project evidence records failure/boundary status rather than a playable load pass.

Evidence

• Repository status before check: clean on main tracking origin/main.
• Current docs and release notes keep successful game-runtime map load as not certified.
• No real game runtime was launched successfully for this blocker check.
• No runtime console log, screenshot, exit status, playable map-load row, or generated BSP runtime artifact was produced.

Blocker log:

d23db38de59276c66b2018f9bdcd4e505189f409d5ef1674fc6e4adf48fca8fc  /tmp/sourceweaver-issue145-blocker-check.log

Required evidence to close later

• Real game/runtime path and version.
• Source Weaver-generated VMF compiled to BSP with real tools or documented compatible toolchain.
• Game/runtime launch command, log, exit status, and map name.
• Evidence that the map loaded successfully, plus any screenshots/log excerpts allowed by redistribution policy.
• Artifact paths and SHA-256 hashes kept outside the repo unless redistribution rights are proven.

Redistribution and legal boundary

No game runtime files, BSPs, maps, materials, logs, screenshots, private paths, Steam data, or game content were committed or redistributed. This comment records the blocker and leaves the future-certification ticket open.
