+Measured from the installed dats. Host `0x2100006E`, `gmPanelUI` slot
+`0x10000559`, whose own authored `0x10000029` is **`0x19` = 25** — the same
+slot-key recipe `RetailPanelCatalog` already uses for Options (10), the social
+panel (12) and Map/House (16). Three tabs:
+
+| Tab | Caption | Page | Page type |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `0x100005D3` | **Contracts** | `0x100005D4` | `0x1000004B` = `gmContractsUI` |
+| `0x10000560` | **Journal** | `0x10000563` | `0x10000048` — notes: "Title:", "Notes:", "First" |
+| `0x10000561` | **Page List** | — | — |
+
+`0x10000562` (type 1, at 276,0) is the panel's own corner button.
+
+Only the Contracts tab is in scope. The Journal notes page and Page List are
+their own feature and are NOT part of Campaign QT — mounting the panel with two
+dead tabs is the expected intermediate state, not a defect.
+
+### The contracts page, resolved
+
+Authored text read out of the dats (`LayoutDump --props`, which now resolves
+`StringInfo` rather than printing the type name):
+
+| Element | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `0x100005CE` / `0x100005D6` | list column headers — "Contract" / "Status" |
+| `0x100005CF` (type 5) | the list, scrollbar `0x100005D0` via property `0x72` |
+| `0x100005D1` / `0x100005D2` | per-ROW children: contract name / progress text |
+| `0x100005D8` → `0x100005DF` | "Status:" → value |
+| `0x100005D9` → `0x100005E0` | "Contact:" → value |
+| `0x100005DA` → `0x100005E1` | "Contact Location:" → value |
+| `0x100005DB` → `0x100005E2` | "Quest Location:" → value |
+| `0x100005DE` | description block (270x52, wrapping) |
+| `0x100005DD` → `0x100005E3` | "Timed:" → value |
+| `0x100005DC` | "Abandon" button |
+
+`gmContractsUI::RefreshContractListbox @0x00499830` walks the tracker list and,
+per row, sets `0x100005D1` from the contract's name and `0x100005D2` from
+`FillProgressString`, caching the result back into the row. The list is a
+`UiTemplateListBox` here — the same widget OP2 built for the Options panel — so
+the page is binding rather than new widget work.
