fix(ui): restore radar, retail wield switching, and protection meshes

Late-bind radar snapshots to the canonical LiveEntityRuntime maps so the retained radar survives bootstrap and session replacement instead of capturing empty sentinels.

Route paperdoll drops through the retail AutoWield blocker transaction. Move conflicting held weapons, shields, explicit jewelry destinations, and mismatched ammo to the backpack one authoritative confirmation at a time; preserve compatible arrows when switching to melee.

Render mode-1 and no-degrade particle GfxObjs as their authored modern-pipeline meshes, retain Always2D billboards, interleave both paths back-to-front, balance emitter mesh ownership, and fail safely on corrupt DAT material metadata. This restores the closed apex on Armor Self/protection effects.

Retain Studio fixture controller lifetimes, add installed-DAT and adversarial regression coverage, synchronize retail research/divergence bookkeeping, and pass all three review tracks plus the full Release suite.

 | AP-105 | **PARTIAL 2026-07-13** — inherited scrollbar media/roles now come from DAT (decrement/top `0x06004C69`, increment/bottom `0x06004C6C`), and both chat backends share typed client-command routing plus one retained `ChatVM` for reply state. Retained chat still lacks complete tab/filter/unread, social availability, incoming squelch enforcement, and focus-opacity behavior. | `src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/DatWidgetFactory.cs`; `ChatWindowController.cs`; `src/AcDream.App/UI/ClientCommandController.cs`; chat mount in `GameWindow.cs` | Shared log/send path, wrapping, scrollbar roles, command ownership, and outer maximize geometry work; later chat work consolidates the remaining presentation/filter state | Tabs are no-ops, squelched lines can still render, contextual social actions are absent, and focus visuals diverge | `gmMainChatUI @ 0x004CCCC0..0x004CE2A0`; `UIElement_Scrollbar::OnSetAttribute @ 0x004714D0`; `ChatInterface` methods |

CreateObject now preserves Placement/Parent/position timestamp bootstrap; live `0xF749` ParentEvent is parsed with retail sequence freshness; a focused render controller resolves `Setup.HoldingLocations`, applies the child's placement frame, and recomposes the separate child entity after every parent animation tick.
