fix(ui): #409 live-failure round — tooltips read the RUNTIME text first

Browse source 
User gate on 1.0.3-tt.a: tooltips appeared NOWHERE in-world except one on
the paperdoll. Root-caused, fixed, and live-verified against a connected
client the same day. Two findings, both measured; neither is a broken
hover/hit-test.

1. DOMINANT ROOT CAUSE — RetailTooltipPresenter.OnTooltipShow gated on
   widget.AuthoredTooltipText (P0x49) alone. Retail's
   UIElement::StartTooltipAtMouse @0x00460D70 takes the RUNTIME m_TTText
   first (@0x00460DA3 IsValid -> @0x00460DAA verbatim) and only falls back
   to InqProperty(0x49) at @0x00460DDF. acdream ALREADY had the runtime
   layer — UiElement.GetTooltipText(), written by the Options/Chat/Config
   page controllers, KeyboardConfigController, the social pages and
   UiCheckboxBitfield64 — but nothing read it.

   Live-DAT measured: the Options toggle-row checkbox (0x2100002B template
   root 0x10000218, leaf 0x10000219) authors P0x47=0x10000397
   P0x48=0x21000041 P0x4B=true and an EMPTY P0x49 — the popup locator and
   the on-bit are authored; only the text arrives at runtime, exactly as
   UIOption_CheckboxBitfield64::CreateChildren @0x00485E65 stamps its
   siTooltip array. Re-measured client-wide: ALL 187 no-literal-text
   tooltip elements author both locator ids, i.e. the whole set is
   runtime-text targets.

   Fixed by ResolveTooltipText (retail's order), plus:
   - the P0x4B gate now applies only to the AUTHORED-text path, because
     retail's eight game-code SetTooltip sites set the on-bit themselves
     (__bitfield164 |= 0x20 at @0x004E1D5E/@0x004A52F4/@0x004C63AC/
     @0x004C67ED/@0x004C7000/@0x004C7218/@0x004D9617/@0x00467076);
   - the P0x48-absent fallback to the element's own LayoutDesc
     (@0x00460E7E, this->m_layout->m_DID) is ported via the new
     UiElement.SourceLayoutDid, threaded from LayoutImporter.Build's new
     sourceLayoutDid parameter and passed by Import + the four template
     resolvers.

2. THE "243 SHOWABLE" NUMBER WAS NEVER AN IN-WORLD NUMBER. Grouped
   re-sweep: all 243 sit in CHARACTER-CREATION layouts. The inventory
   window (0x21000023) and paperdoll (0x21000024) author exactly two
   between them — 0x100001D6 "Drag clothing and armor here to wear them"
   (the doll drag mask) and 0x100005BE (the Slots button). The first IS
   the user's single working tooltip, so the paperdoll was never a
   differential against a broken mechanism. Reachability was measured and
   is fine: 238/243 build as real non-ClickThrough hover targets.

LIVE VERIFICATION (connected testaccount/+Acdream, Release,
ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1): Options -> Character -> "Vivid Targeting Indicator"
now shows its full ID_PlayerOption_*_Help sentence; a temporary hover probe
confirmed the hover target is element 0x10000219 with runtime=True. The
paperdoll tooltip still shows. An inventory ITEM still shows nothing —
that is UIElement_UIItem::UpdateTooltip @0x004E1CB0 (retail shows the item
name, "%d %s"-prefixed when the stack is > 1), which stays deferred:
UiItemSlot is constructed programmatically at 6+ sites and carries neither
the P0x47 locator nor a name source, so it is its own slice.

Bookkeeping: register TS-85 narrowed (m_TTText READ side now ported; the
row now enumerates all 15 SetTooltip call sites split into ported vs
no-acdream-analog). #409's gate note rewritten to lead with the in-world
surfaces — the old note listed only chargen, which is why it could not
have caught this. Filed #411 for the hover-cursor scope addition: an
exhaustive raw scan of every ElementDesc found only 101 authored
MediaDescCursor entries, all on Dragbar/Resizebar with the 5 DIDs
RetailCursorCatalog already hardcodes, so retail has NO per-element cursor
for inventory items; the likely mechanism is the rollover STATE
(UIElement::MouseOverTop @0x004615D0) that UiItemSlot lacks entirely.

Gates: Release build 0 errors; App suite (live-DAT env) 5424/5421 passed/3
skips (was 5416/5413/3, +8 new tests); Runtime 1735/0; full solution (no
env) 14,631/14,561 passed/70 skipped/0 failed (was 14,623/14,554/69).
