docs: add 2026-06-26 character window retail reference screenshot notes

Transcribed from user's retail screenshots during the character-window
polish session; documents name-white, large-gold-level, XP captions,
Infinity! cost, and the selected-row bar sprite — used as the acceptance
target for Fix A/B/C.

+# Character window (Attributes tab) — retail reference + polish targets
+
+Transcribed from two user-provided retail screenshots (2026-06-26): the **not-selected** state and the
+**Strength-selected** state. The PNGs live in the user's chat; this doc is the durable target spec for
+the remaining polish on acdream's `CharacterStatController` (LayoutDesc 0x2100002E). "✗" = acdream gap.
+
+## State 1 — nothing selected
+
+- **Tabs:** Attributes (active, gold label), Skills, Titles.
+- **Name:** "Horan" — **WHITE** (✗ acdream renders the name gold).
+- **Heritage line:** "Female Aluvian Adventurer" — white.
+- **PK line:** "Non-Player Killer" — white.
+- **Level area (right):** small caption "Character Level" (two lines: "Character" / "Level"), then the
+  number **"240" as LARGE GOLD SPRITE DIGITS** — a number-sprite font, not plain text (✗ acdream draws
+  "126" as plain gold text, and the caption truncates to "Character Le").
+- **"Total Experience (XP):"** caption + value "100,000,017,999" (✗ caption missing in acdream).
+- **"XP for next level:"** caption + value "99,738,801" with the red fill bar behind it (✗ caption +
+  value missing — the value element is consumed by the UiMeter at import).
+- **Attribute list — 9 rows**, each = icon + name + right-aligned value:
+  - Row text is **LARGER** (roughly the icon height ~24px) and rows are **TIGHTER** (less vertical gap)
+    than acdream's current small-text / wide-spacing.
+  - Order: Strength 200, Endurance 10, Coordination 10, Quickness 200, Focus 10, Self 10,
+    Health 5/5, Stamina 10/10, Mana 10/10.
+- **Footer:** "Select an Attribute to Improve" (title) / "Skill Credits Available: 96" /
+  "Unassigned Experience: 87,757,321,741". (acdream now matches — confirm the title says **Attribute**,
+  not skill.)
+
+## State 2 — Strength selected
+
+- Same header.
+- **Selected row (Strength):** highlighted with a **DARKER background + bars above/below** — retail's
+  selected-row sprite `0x06001397` (Button state 6). (✗ acdream uses a translucent GOLD tint — replace
+  with the dark-bar sprite.)
+- **Footer flips to:**
+  - Title: **"Strength: 200"** — **WHITE** text (✗ acdream uses the body/gold color).
+  - "Experience To Raise:" + **"Infinity!"** (Strength is maxed → cost is infinite; ✗ acdream shows a
+    numeric/"maxed" placeholder — show "Infinity!" when the attribute is at max).
+  - "Unassigned Experience:" + "87,757,321,741".
+- Raise buttons (≜10 + triangle) shown at the selected row's right.
+
+## Polish checklist (acdream)
+
+1. [ ] Name color → white.
+2. [ ] Level → gold sprite digits (find the number-sprite font/ids); caption "Character"/"Level" 2-line.
+3. [ ] Add "Total Experience (XP):" caption.
+4. [ ] Add "XP for next level:" caption + value (un-consume from the meter, or render alongside).
+5. [ ] Row text larger (≈icon height) + rows tighter.
+6. [ ] Selection highlight → sprite 0x06001397 (dark bars), not gold tint.
+7. [ ] Selected footer title → white.
+8. [ ] Maxed attribute → "Experience To Raise: Infinity!".
+9. [ ] Footer title wording = "Select an Attribute to Improve" (Attribute).
