CNA-GAP-052: Local gamer services have no catalogue, presence or profile data: achievement metadata is empty, Achievement::GetPicture throws, presence is never published and privileges are a fixed permissive constant

Evidence basis: source-verified at the pinned commit; tests exist (not executed for this page). Claims on this page were checked by reading the CNA source at commit 009d40f5; unless a sentence says otherwise, nothing here was built or executed. Nothing on this page was executed unless the Evidence section says so.

Achievements come back with only key, earned state and time; GetPicture throws NotImplementedException; SetPresenceModeStringEXT does nothing; GamerPrivileges allows everything and nothing enforces it; GamerProfile is synthetic except Region.

Expected behaviour

XNA's gamer services return the title's achievement catalogue, publish presence, and report the account's real privileges and profile.

Actual behaviour at TARGET

SignedInGamer::EndGetAchievements in SignedInGamer.cpp builds each achievement with empty name and description and fixed flags (“Name/Description/GamerScore/DisplayBeforeEarned have no local source of truth”); Achievement::GetPicture in Achievement.cpp throws NotImplementedException. GamerPresence::SetPresenceModeStringEXT is empty, GamerPrivileges.cpp initialises every privilege to allowed/Everyone, and GamerProfile.cpp fills everything except Region with defaults.

Evidence

Checked by reading at 009d40f5; not executed.

Focused reproduction

No focused reproduction is known. Nothing has been invented here; the evidence above is what exists.

Current tests

GamerServicesGamerTests.cpp covers awarding and reading local achievements.

Regression test

If a local catalogue is added (for example a title file), a test that the metadata and picture round-trip.

Blast radius

Games that list achievements with names and pictures, show presence, or gate features on privileges.

Workaround

Keep achievement metadata and pictures in the game's own content.
