GUER Insurgents Branch Audit

GUER Insurgents Branch Audit

This page is the current source-facing audit for the playable RESISTANCE / GUER Insurgents work. The original origin/feat/guer-insurgents-faction@41550bd33 intake is now historical branch-review evidence; current origin/master@bef714aa5 contains that merge lineage and later Takistan parity work.

Use this page to separate three facts:

• 9af83596 is an ancestor of current origin/master.
• Current origin/master@bef714aa5 has GUER source in both maintained mission roots.
• Runtime/balance smoke is still separate evidence; do not call the feature release-complete from source presence alone.

Current Source Status

Area	Current evidence	Status
Merge lineage	git merge-base --is-ancestor 9af83596 origin/master passes; current checked head is origin/master@bef714aa5 (audit was based on this commit; B74.2 GUER economy decoupling, B75.5 kill-based vehicle tiers, and B62 air-def gate relocation are all now in current master — see GUER Insurgent Player Economy for current state).	Merged lineage, not a pending branch.
Maintained roots	git grep on origin/master finds WFBE_C_GUER_PLAYERSIDE, Root_GUE_PlayerOverlay, Server_GuerStipend, Action_GuerVbiedDetonate and "guer-vbied-detonate" in both Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus and Missions_Vanilla/[61-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.takistan.	Current source parity exists in both maintained roots.
Gate and constants	Both roots define the lobby gate at Rsc/Parameters.hpp:560; default fallbacks live at Common/Init/Init_CommonConstants.sqf:76-79; initJIPCompatible.sqf:129-134 re-reads the mission param for dedicated MP.	Gate-controlled feature. Source default still matters.
Hostility and three-way mode	Both roots gate reciprocal WEST/EAST hostility in Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf:11 and set WFBE_ISTHREEWAY from WFBE_C_GUER_PLAYERSIDE at Common/Init/Init_Common.sqf:293.	Gate-on changes side relations; gate-off should preserve normal two-side behavior.
Economy loop	Both roots register GUER teams/economy in Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf:748-788; Server/Server_GuerStipend.sqf:14,30 gates startup and logs the server economy loop.	Source-present; still needs long-match economy smoke.
Depot pool and map-specific VBIED type	Root_GUE.sqf:129-130 and Root_TKGUE.sqf:102-104 load Root_GUE_PlayerOverlay.sqf; the overlay seeds WFBE_GUERDEPOTUNITS at :47, switches Takistan VBIED type to datsun1_civil_2_covered at :69-71, and rebuilds the pool from tier at :82.	Shared overlay with map-specific branch.
VBIED action and server authority	Client/Action/Action_GuerVbiedDetonate.sqf (26 lines) does an INSTANT detonation on the single scroll-wheel click — no arm delay, no confirm window — sending ["RequestSpecial", ["guer-vbied-detonate", _veh, _player]] Call WFBE_CO_FNC_SendToServer at :26; the case "guer-vbied-detonate" handler in Server/Functions/Server_HandleSpecial.sqf:517-522 checks gate, driver, side and chassis before damage/blast handling.	Source-present; high-impact balance and forge-rejection smoke still required.
Ka-137 / EASA support	Client/Module/EASA/EASA_Init.sqf:672-673 adds Ka137_MG_PMC when the GUER gate is on; Root_GUE_PlayerOverlay.sqf:47,62,76 keeps it in the player-facing depot pool.	Source-present; in-engine weapon geometry still needs smoke before balance claims.
UI and service integration	GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:62,615, Client_UIFillListBuyUnits.sqf:145-146, Client_BuildUnit.sqf:338 and GUI_Menu_Service.sqf:262 carry GUER-specific buy/service behavior.	Source-present; menu smoke should cover both Chernarus and Takistan.
HC slot caution	Current source still contains forceHeadlessClient=1 mission slots, but Headless/Init/Init_HC.sqf:20 notes that attribute is A3-only/inert in A2 OA.	Do not document HC reseating as an A2 OA guarantee without runtime proof.

Current Interpretation

The feature is no longer just a broad Chernarus-first review branch. It is current master source with maintained-root parity, including the Takistan VBIED type switch and shared player overlay. The older branch-intake matrix remains useful as history because it records the original blast radius, economy, hostility and branch-size review risks, but future status wording should point here first.

Source parity does not settle runtime quality. The still-open gates are:

1. Gate-off smoke: WFBE_C_GUER_PLAYERSIDE = 0 should suppress playable GUER behavior and preserve the two-side match.
2. Gate-on Chernarus smoke: slots/JIP, depot pool, stipend cadence, kill-funds, no-base menu flow, town capture/harass stats and WEST/EAST AI return fire.
3. Gate-on Takistan smoke: map-specific depot pool, datsun VBIED type, town-center EASA/service access and maintained Vanilla generated metadata.
4. VBIED smoke: buy, instant single-click detonation (no confirm window or arm delay), one-shot fired-guard, blast/kill credit, friendly-fire behavior and forged RequestSpecial rejection.
5. Ka-137 smoke: EASA loadouts, ATGM/rocket fire geometry and fallback balance.
6. HC smoke: actual A2 OA headless-client seating/delegation behavior, not forceHeadlessClient assumptions.

Development Lesson

A gate-controlled third side has two independent contracts: source presence and configured runtime state. For GUER, future docs and release notes must name the source ref, the target mission root, the WFBE_C_GUER_PLAYERSIDE value and whether the claim is source review or Arma 2 OA smoke. Treat Takistan as source-present on current origin/master@bef714aa5, but keep runtime parity provisional until its gate-on smoke is recorded.
