-### Bug 25: an empty rejuv column chickened the game at safe HP (2026-09-04)
+### Bug 33: main's recaptured `a5_wp.png` was a crop of the mana globe (2026-09-04)
+**File:** `assets/templates/a5_wp.png`
+Commit `14f5876` ("recapture A5 waypoint template") replaced the real Harrogath waypoint with a
+112x125 crop of the **blue mana globe**, so it matched the HUD at **0.966-0.99 on every frame**,
+anywhere in the game — which is the template half of Bug 23/27. `A5.open_wp()` walked the
+(teleporting) char to the bottom-right of the screen and clicked; `WaypointLabel` never appeared,
+so `select_by_template` logged `Wanted to select A5_WP, but could not find it` **despite a 98%
+match**, and each anchor retry pushed the char further out until it was stranded on top of the
+Harrogath wall, outside walkable town. From there Larzuk, Qual-Kehk and every town marker were
+off-screen, so repair, resurrect and `detect_current_act` failed too.
+
+`a5.py` already defends against this with `roi=cut_skill_bar` plus a best-match over
+`["A5_WP", "A5_WP_2"]`, which is why the symptom was survivable on main — but the bad capture was
+still one of the two candidates. Restored `a5_wp.png` to the pre-`14f5876` capture (201x120, the
+real stone arch with two blue flames): it scores **0.30** on frames where the waypoint is absent,
+versus 0.966 for the globe crop. Both WP templates are now genuine, so the dual search is a real
+fallback rather than a workaround.
+
+**Diagnostic for this whole class** — a template that matches the HUD matches *everything*; score
+it against a frame where the target is absent and look at WHERE it matched:
+```python
+import cv2
+img = cv2.imread("log/screenshots/error/<any>.png"); t = cv2.imread("assets/templates/a5_wp.png")
+print(cv2.minMaxLoc(cv2.matchTemplate(img, t, cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED))[1::2])  # score, location
+```
+A high score at a bottom-corner location (x>880, y>580 = the globes) means the template is HUD.
+Only `a5_wp.png` was affected; every other `*_wp*.png` scores <0.46 on the same frame.
+
+### Bug 32: an empty rejuv column chickened the game at safe HP (2026-09-04)
 **File:** `src/health_manager.py` — rejuv branch of the potion ladder
 `take_rejuv_potion_health=0.45` triggers a rejuv attempt at 45% HP, but the real chicken line is
 `chicken=0.40`. When `belt.drink_potion("rejuv")` returned False the code chickened **immediately**,
