# Own-body spectator camera validation

The production change includes the observer's canonical unconscious body in
the target cycle and frames unconscious/dead bodies at ground level. Native
corpse eligibility was already present and remains covered by selection tests.

Five focused checks pass; see `selection-checks.json`. They cover production
selection/orbit methods through adapted engine boundaries, guidance and camera
lifecycle, native fixture selection, and player-view relay eligibility.

Native Workbench attempt 5 compiled and passed actual own-body selection,
solo forward/backward cycling, yaw, pitch, zoom, disabled input, possession
retention, returning to orbit selection after the input-resume gate, and camera
pose persistence across subsequent native frames. See `native-checks.log` and
the matching source hashes. This uses native action values, not physical mouse
input, and one local player, not a multiplayer replication qualification.

The broader existing unconscious-camera fixture then failed its chat-focus
assertion (`subsequent native frames keep chat active and observer controls
inactive without HUD updates`). It did not reach the later recovery checks.
The complete native smoke run is therefore **not passing**; the focused camera
lifecycle test covers recovery through adapted engine boundaries only.

Earlier attempts are retained in `iterations.log`: attempt 1 stopped on an
obsolete recovery-message expectation; attempt 2 omitted the appended
self-injection controls from that expectation; attempt 3 failed random
extraction-site preparation before the camera tests; attempt 4 passed own-body
orbit controls but the fixture failed to wait through the two-frame input-resume
gate before toggling back. These fixture issues were corrected without changing
production medicine or chat behavior. The fixture carries an unused injector
with self-injection enabled so its deliberately unconscious solo player remains
recoverable under the normal all-down rules.

The test runner used an isolated source copy and profile, with process cleanup
confirmed in `runner.log`. No Workshop upload or Git push was performed.
