 # SceneViewport Overlay/Gizmo Rework Checkpoint
 
+## Update 2026-04-03 Phase 5A
+
+### Interaction Resolver Completed
+
+- Added `SceneViewportInteractionResolver.{h,cpp}` as the formal viewport-side interaction arbitration module.
+- `SceneViewPanel` no longer owns overlay handle priority rules or HUD/world interaction winner selection.
+- Overlay handle hit testing and HUD hit testing are now composed behind one resolver entry point.
+- The panel now consumes a resolved interaction result instead of stitching together multiple hit systems inline.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `cmake --build build --config Debug --target editor_tests -- /p:BuildProjectReferences=false`
+- `build/tests/Editor/Debug/editor_tests.exe --gtest_filter=SceneViewportInteractionResolverTest.*:SceneViewportOverlayRenderer_Test.*:SceneViewportOverlayProviderRegistryTest.*:ViewportRenderFlowUtilsTest.*`
+- `cmake --build build --config Debug --target XCEditor`
+
+All commands completed successfully in `Debug`.
+
 ## Update 2026-04-03
 
 ### Phase 4 Completed
