Weird issue with custom AnimNode

Hi,

I am playing around with custom AnimNode. I am not using SkeletalControlBase, just the regular AnimNodeBase to keep things simple. The code is also pretty simple:

    void 
    FAnimNodeNPC::Update_AnyThread(const FAnimationUpdateContext& Context)
    {
    	head.SetRotation(FQuat(0.3826834, 0.f, 0.f, 0.9238795));
    }
    
    FTransform
    FAnimNodeNPC::setBoneTransform(const FCompactPoseBoneIndex& boneIndex, const FTransform& newTransform, FComponentSpacePoseContext& context)
    {
    	FTransform newBoneTM;
    	FQuat rot = newTransform.GetRotation();
    	newBoneTM.SetRotation(rot);
    	const FTransform& boneTM = context.Pose.GetComponentSpaceTransform(boneIndex);
    	newBoneTM *= boneTM;
    	return newBoneTM;
    }
    
    void 
    FAnimNodeNPC::EvaluateComponentSpace_AnyThread(FComponentSpacePoseContext& Output)
    {
    	const FBoneContainer& boneContainer = Output.AnimInstanceProxy->GetRequiredBones();
    	Output.ResetToRefPose();
    
    	TArray<FBoneTransform> boneTransforms;
    
    	FName boneName = "head";
    	auto boneIndex = getBoneIndex(boneName, boneContainer);
    	boneTransforms.Add(FBoneTransform(boneIndex, setBoneTransform(boneIndex, head, Output)));
    
    	Output.Pose.SafeSetCSBoneTransforms(boneTransforms);
    }

As you can see it sets head rotation to 45 degrees to the right. That’s it. But, while it looks fine in the editor:

when in the game it shows 90 rotation instead of 45. Or generally, double any set rotation on the correct axis:

I am pretty sure i am missing something simple here, can anybody please shed a light on it? Oh, and it is the same SkeletalMesh in editor and in game, just with a few facial morphs when in game.
Interestingly, if instead of setting transform directly I pass in the HMD rotation, the character’s head follows the HMD perfectly, not with double angles… The reason that I even found the problem was the hands were messed up when following controllers…

never mind, totally my fault, unrelated to AnimNode. Was playing with multithreading and the turn was baked into reference pose from another thread before AnimNode was even initialized.
