feat(chat): Campaign CH slice CH1 — retail LogTextType color table

Retail colors chat lines by the 34-value wire LogTextType (ACE's
ChatMessageType), NOT by acdream's synthetic 9-value ChatKind. The old
ChatWindowController.RetailChatColor(ChatKind) collapsed distinct retail
colors onto one bucket per ChatKind — e.g. every Channel line rendered
colorLightBlue (Magic's slot) when retail's actual palette spans five
different colors across the Turbine rooms and legacy allegiance family.

Ports ChatInterface::BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0 verbatim
(RetailChatColorTable, all 34 RGBA floats read from the PDB-paired
binary's .data section) and threads a new ChatEntry.LogTextType field
through every ingestion site to the correct retail wire value:
HearSpeech/Tell pass the wire chatType through verbatim; Emote/SoulEmote
hard-code 0x0C; the Tell self-echo hard-codes 0x04; legacy ChatChannel
broadcasts derive their type from the channel bit via the new
LegacyChannelChatType helper (ported from the decompiled
Handle_Communication__ChannelBroadcast dispatch, hear vs. own-send);
TurbineChat rooms map through TurbineChatDisplayNames.LogTextType;
CombatChatTranslator's hit/miss/evade lines map to ACE's CombatSelf/
CombatEnemy per Player_Combat.cs; kill/death lines use retail's
decompiled 0x00 Default (not a combat color). ChatWindowController's
transcript now folds LogTextType through RetailChatColorTable with
retail's exact "out-of-range keeps the previous line's color" carry
rule; ChatPanel's combat highlighting sources the same table.

Corrects HearSpeech.cs's doc-comment ChatType legend (4 of 6 entries
were wrong). Adds register row AP-175 for the pre-existing (unchanged)
Popup-renders-in-chat divergence and updates AP-39's stale per-ChatKind
description. Narrows ISSUES #139 — its chat-colors half is done.

Retail renders no chat timestamp prefix path exists in acdream today,
so the "timestamp is always colorGrey 0x0C" rule has nothing to attach
to; noted here per the research doc rather than left silent.

## #139 — D.2b retail UI polish: chat text colors + buttons
## #139 — D.2b retail UI polish: chat buttons
**Status:** OPEN
**Status:** OPEN (narrowed 2026-08-09 — the chat-text-colors half CLOSED, see below)
**Severity:** LOW (cosmetic fit-and-finish — the widget generalization works and matches the prior hand-made build; this is polish vs a side-by-side retail client)
**Filed:** 2026-06-16
**Component:** ui — D.2b retail UI (chat window + buttons)
**Component:** ui — D.2b retail UI (chat buttons)
**Description (user):** After the widget-generalization pass landed (2026-06-16), two areas want a polish pass against retail:
1. **Chat text colors** — the per-`ChatKind` transcript text colors need tuning to match retail more precisely. Current values come from a live cdb dump of the named `RGBAColor` constants (colorWhite / BrightPurple / LightBlue / Green / LightRed / Grey) mapped per `ChatKind` in `ChatWindowController.RetailChatColor`. The four common kinds (speech/tell/channel/system) are confirmed; the rarer kinds (emote, soul-emote, combat, popup) map to the nearest named color and may be off — verify each against a side-by-side retail client.
**Description (user):** After the widget-generalization pass landed (2026-06-16), two areas wanted a polish pass against retail. Item 1 (chat text colors) is now DONE — see below. Item 2 remains open:
1. ~~**Chat text colors**~~**CLOSED 2026-08-09, Campaign CH slice CH1.** `ChatWindowController.RetailChatColor(ChatKind)` (the old best-effort per-`ChatKind` map) is deleted; coloring now keys off the entry's retail wire `LogTextType` through the exact 34-entry `RetailChatColorTable`, a faithful port of `ChatInterface::BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0` with every RGBA float read from the PDB-paired binary's `.data` section — see `docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-color-table.md` and `docs/plans/2026-08-09-chat-parity-campaign.md`.
2. **Buttons** — the chat buttons (Send, Max/Min, and the channel "Chat ▸" menu button) want visual polish: **pressed / hover state feedback** (`UiButton` currently draws only its default-state sprite; the dat carries `Normal`/`Pressed`/`Highlight` states it does not yet switch on), plus a check that the face 3-slice + autosize read cleanly at all widths.
**Root cause / status:** Deferred polish, NOT a regression — the generalized chat matches the prior hand-made build (user-confirmed 2026-06-16). `UiButton` intentionally mirrors `UiDatElement`'s single-state render (pressed-state was out of the generalization's scope); chat colors are best-effort from the cdb dump.

**Files:**
- `src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/ChatWindowController.cs``RetailChatColor(ChatKind)` per-kind color map.
- `src/AcDream.App/UI/UiButton.cs``ActiveFile()` / `OnEvent` (no pressed-state swap yet; dat has Normal/Pressed/Highlight).
- `src/AcDream.App/UI/UiMenu.cs``DrawButtonFace` (Normal vs Pressed sprite) for the channel button.
**Research:** `claude-memory/reference_retail_chat_colors.md` (the cdb chat-color dump + recipe).
**Acceptance:** Chat text colors and button (pressed/hover) states match a side-by-side retail client — user's visual sign-off.
**Acceptance:** Button (pressed/hover) states match a side-by-side retail client — user's visual sign-off. (Chat text colors already user-gated at Campaign CH's campaign-level gate.)
