field-walk.md listed as unknown that the registered characters outside the party are not built, "the game builds them at the origin". The side event survey (0178) showed what that costs: side events 58, 60 and 61 name a player character who is not in the party (entry 2 code: Sanjuro, Gardenia, Natsume), and the port never built them, so block 3's near_marker could never hold beside them.

What the game does.

• ccRegisterEventMng (set-up pass): each entry of type 0-2 goes to the registry as EntrySpc, with the entry's bootParam.
• ccSPC::Reboot builds every registered character; one outside the party is built at the origin (ccGetStartPositions gives it nothing else) and has no HUD panel.
• ccThEntryCtrl's set-up, ccEntryEventMng, places each such entry at its event position by marker. When the position's floor or block is 9999 or more, Kite's position is added to it. It faces the position's dirc, and an entry param of 5 puts it on ccEntryCmnd, the list pc_command also fills.

The port.

• The area mode passes the VM's type 0-2 entries to FieldWorld::set_spc_entries in the set-up, logged as entry ...
• FieldWorld's reboot builds the registered non-members at the origin (combat.add_member). After the party is set, each entry is placed by EvParty::place_entry(code, marker, param, kite), which reuses piney-battle's entry::event_pos (now pub(crate)) and entry_cmnd.
• The survey now prints spc N built for each such code. 58, 60 and 61 build theirs.
• event_61_natsume_in_her_dungeon: story 18, blocks 0-1 marked run, the session put in area 35's dungeon and moved to event point 1's room. Natsume is built there. With Kite put beside her, near_marker 0 <= 65 holds and her scene opens (the fade and her first three lines).

Stale notes cleared. The area host's header still said the walks, pc_command, the puts, the entries, hold and the battle's instructions were not reached. All of them are, through EvParty, the VM's entries and FieldWorld. The header now lists them, and field-walk.md's matching unknown is gone.

battle.md's unknowns were narrowed:

• plcol is the bracelet (data_drain sets it with Kite's skill 2); only the protect break's reading stays inferred.
• Skeith's _ccBossSkillDamage and BossSkillTbl are ported. Only ccBoss02-04, fought in the later volumes, remain.
