We study descendant integrals on moduli stacks of simplicially stable curves. For each finite collision complex, we factor the reduction morphism into elementary wall crossings and obtain a reconstruction formula in terms of ordinary Witten-Kontsevich correlators. We use the formula to derive corrected Virasoro recursions. We then package all finite-support theories in a completed disjoint-support Fock space, where the extended potential is a cumulant translate of the Witten-Kontsevich potential.
