I’m a bit confused… IRST can’t provide long-range (say dozens of kilometers) ranging and with only a heading and not range information of the target bvraam would have one hell of a time trying to track said target with any effectiveness

Is there any DRFMs (Digital Radio Frequency Memory) in J-20 ?
It's a sufficiently standard, generic and pedestrian type of technology that the answer is almost certainly yes, not only for J-20 but for most fighter types produced in the last few decades at least.
that's pretty old technology. I'd imagine J-20's EW suite would be using something much more advanced that can spoof LPI radars.
3D TVC roll IMO.
Except there’s no TVC engine in production.
well, technically, there are photos of WS-15 test on J-20...
but yeah, this one in video is using AL-31
That's what I think it appears as since there's honestly close to no airspeed here! How is it able to do this without TVC?
Except we know for certain that the actual flight display aircrafts were older ones using AL-31x engines (batch before the WS-10C engined J-20s). BUT the video with high alpha barrel roll climb is of actual display. The video where we feel like the J-20 is using TVC is NOT from the display but allegedly from a display practise routine. Therefore it is not known whether the engine on that aircraft is using Al-31, WS-10, or other.
It's clear the aircraft "stalls" or at stall speed right before it rolls around 90 degrees and falls to regain energy and control via airflow but the question of how it performs a 90 degree roll at pretty much zero speed is ignored by the thread since the video came out weeks ago. Since we don't actually know what aircraft is performing the alleged "practise" runs for the airshow display, we can't actually know what engine it is using unless there are clearer photos and/or videos.
