Owner

Racers with the Bribe mod get a starting powerup (BribeModSettings: chance_of_nitro, PickupPercentages, bribe_on_activate_pickups), but powerups doesn't show it. In examples/live-timing/sample-race.jsonl remote "Senna" (Bribe) shows [null,null,null] until race_ms 12350.

Spike

LAN scenario with Bribe on one instance: snapshot +0xea0, +0xeac, +0xeb4 and entries every 25 ms from race load to lap 1 on both instances, logging channel-9 events. Hypothesis: granted only on the owner's instance (not replicated), or held outside the queue.

Acceptance

The granted powerup shows in powerups on the owner's instance from the grant.
Other instances show it if the game replicates it; otherwise backfill when it's used (collect with inferred: true, #35) and document the limit.

Rules

Wire format: ADR 0019 (docs/decisions/0019-feed-message-contract.md). Repo data/tools: ADR 0020.
Fix and verify on BLUR_ENGINE=recomp only.
Update docs/state-websocket.md and examples/live-timing for any feed change.
Test races: use the scripts/ scenarios (windowed, low settings) once #33 exists.

Racers with the `Bribe` mod get a starting powerup (`BribeModSettings`: `chance_of_nitro`, `PickupPercentages`, `bribe_on_activate_pickups`), but `powerups` doesn't show it. In `examples/live-timing/sample-race.jsonl` remote "Senna" (Bribe) shows `[null,null,null]` until race_ms 12350. ## Spike LAN scenario with Bribe on one instance: snapshot `+0xea0`, `+0xeac`, `+0xeb4` and entries every 25 ms from race load to lap 1 on both instances, logging channel-9 events. Hypothesis: granted only on the owner's instance (not replicated), or held outside the queue. ## Acceptance - The granted powerup shows in `powerups` on the owner's instance from the grant. - Other instances show it if the game replicates it; otherwise backfill when it's used (`collect` with `inferred: true`, #35) and document the limit. ## Rules - Wire format: ADR 0019 (`docs/decisions/0019-feed-message-contract.md`).

Research findings (static: Blur.exe strings + current src), 2026-10-20.

Also: tweak Multiplayer.Upgrades.Bribe.BribeMeNow (grant trigger).
An out-of-range kind is unlikely: it would show as unknown, not null.
The sample-race null → shunt at 12350 is on a remote racer, so the "owner-instance only" hypothesis fits. World-pickup collection does replicate. Also check +0xea0 as an alternative holder.

Spike (2-instance LAN, Bribe on instance 0, 25 ms polling of +0xea0/ea4/eac/eb0/eb4): no feed bug. The grant is in the owner's queue (eb4 0->1, entry 0 kind -1 for ~1.1 s, then the real kind; +0xea0 stays -1 until fired). The other instance's queue for that racer never changes, so it is not replicated. Owner feed shows it (unknown ~1 s, then kind) and sends collect; remote only sees an inferred collect when a fireable kind is used (Nitro/Repair emit no use event, so invisible there). Documented in docs/state-websocket.md and ADR 0017. Also fixed scripts/race.py lan host (players feed value is a string). No host code change.
