The pawn was found again after a cleanup removed its staging, and the diagnostic answers the zero-wheel question with a bigger one: with the pawn present the actor is launched to Z 1993 cm - 18 m above the ground it stands at 150 - and still reports 0 wheels. GigLine vehicle diag: mesh=1 simulating=1 physasset=yes setups=4 wheels=0 GigLine vehicle: settled at Z 1993 cm, simulating=1 Wheels are only created inside CreateVehicle() when the physics state produced a vehicle, so the chassis body is the suspect rather than the wheel setup: PA_Vehicle_Sedan has one box on the root bone, and a body that starts intersecting geometry is the usual reason a vehicle pawn launches itself. Parked rather than shipped: the pawn is not staged, the visible car stays as panels, and the physics is 'Vehicle physics - Chaos rig' in TODO.md with the evidence and three concrete steps. The demo no longer carries an 18 m flying car in its captures.
