📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The AI state machine now saves the temporary-state pointer before updating it. It only calls onExit and clears the member when the same state remains active after update().

Guard temporary-state cleanup GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameLogic/AI/AIStates.cpp	The update path preserves timeout completion behavior and checks whether the temporary state was replaced or removed before cleanup. Temporary-state continuation logging was removed.

Poem

A state steps out, then checks its trace,
No dangling pointer wins the race.
onExit waits for the proper cue,
Cleanup guards the state anew.
Stable turns keep crashes through.

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Conventional Commit Standards	❌ Error	The PR has one commit, Fix crash when temporary AI state is cleared during update, which lacks the required Conventional Commits type: description prefix; its message contains no @.	Amend or squash the commit with a Conventional Commits subject, for example fix(ai): prevent temporary-state clearing crash during update.
Title check	⚠️ Warning	The title identifies the linked crash issue but does not follow the required Conventional Commits format.	Rename the title using a valid format, such as "fix(ai): prevent temporary AI state update crash".

✅ Passed checks (7 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The change addresses issue #265 by preventing invalid temporary-state access during AI state updates, matching the reported crash context.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	The changes are limited to temporary AI state update handling and related logging, which directly supports issue #265.
Platform Isolation	✅ Passed	The only changed file is game-logic AIStates.cpp. The patch adds State pointer/update/onExit logic and introduces no Win32, Cocoa, POSIX, or platform-library API.
Cross-Platform Determinism	✅ Passed	The diff only changes temporary-state pointer/control flow and removes logging; it adds no math, division, or integer cast requiring WWMath or NaN/Inf protection.
Openal / Miniaudio Parity	✅ Passed	The pull-request diff changes only AIStates.cpp; it introduces no OpenAL or MiniAudio audio modification requiring backend parity.
Single Commit / Squash Policy	✅ Passed	HEAD is one non-merge commit directly atop main; rev-list reports exactly 1 commit after the base, with one focused AIStates.cpp change.
