Lifts 13 startup-time environment variables out of GameWindow.cs into a
single typed AcDream.App.RuntimeOptions record read once in Program.cs.
Behavior-preservation only — no live behavior change, no visual change.
Verified end-to-end against ACE on 127.0.0.1:9000: full M1 demo loop
(walk Holtburg, click door, click NPC, portal entry) plus DEVTOOLS
ImGui panels load cleanly.
Why: GameWindow.cs is 10,304 LOC and scattered Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable
calls were one of the structural smells called out in the new
"Code Structure Rules" doc. Typed options is the safest cut to make
first because the substitution is mechanical and parsing semantics
get pinned by unit tests.
What lands:
- CLAUDE.md: removed stale R1→R8 execution-phases line, replaced with
pointers to the milestones doc + strategic roadmap (the actual
source of truth). Tightened the "check ALL FOUR references"
section to describe WB as the production rendering base, not
just a reference. New "Code Structure Rules" section (6 rules)
captures the discipline we're committing to.
- docs/architecture/acdream-architecture.md: removed dangling link
to the deleted memory/project_ui_architecture.md.
- docs/architecture/code-structure.md (NEW, 376 LOC): rationale for
the 6 rules + 6-step extraction sequence
(RuntimeOptions → LiveSessionController → LiveEntityRuntime →
SelectionInteractionController → RenderFrameOrchestrator →
GameEntity aggregation). This PR is Step 1.
- src/AcDream.App/RuntimeOptions.cs (NEW, 100 LOC): typed record
with FromEnvironment(string) factory and Parse(datDir, env)
overload for testability. Covers ACDREAM_LIVE, _TEST_HOST/PORT/
USER/PASS, _DEVTOOLS, _DUMP_MOVE_TRUTH, _NO_AUDIO,
_ENABLE_SKY_PES, _HIDE_PART, _RETAIL_CLOSE_DEGRADES,
_DUMP_SCENERY_Z, _STREAM_RADIUS.
- src/AcDream.App/Program.cs: builds RuntimeOptions once, passes
to GameWindow.
- src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs: ctor takes RuntimeOptions;
7 startup-cached env-var fields become expression-bodied
properties or direct _options.X reads; TryStartLiveSession,
audio init, legacy stream-radius branch all route through
_options.
- tests/AcDream.App.Tests/ (NEW project, 10 unit tests + csproj):
pins parser semantics — default-off bools, the literal "0"
gate for RETAIL_CLOSE_DEGRADES, the >=0 guard for
STREAM_RADIUS, null-vs-empty for user/pass, exact-"1" check
for diagnostic flags. Registered in AcDream.slnx.
Out of scope (per code-structure.md §4):
- Per-call-site ACDREAM_DUMP_* / _REMOTE_VEL_DIAG diagnostic reads
sprinkled through GameWindow (~40 sites). Rule 5 in CLAUDE.md
commits us to migrating these opportunistically as larger
extractions land, not in a bulk pass.
- AcDream.Core's project-reference to Chorizite.OpenGLSDLBackend.
Only the stateless .Lib namespace is used; tightening the project
reference is documented as future work in code-structure.md §2.
Build: green.
Tests: AcDream.App.Tests 10/10 ✓, Core.Net.Tests 294/294 ✓,
UI.Abstractions.Tests 419/419 ✓,
AcDream.Core.Tests 1073/1081 (8 pre-existing failures verified
against pre-refactor baseline by stash-and-rerun).
Visual verification: full M1 demo loop against ACE +Acdream login
including DEVTOOLS panel host load.
Next: Step 2 — extract LiveSessionController per code-structure.md §4.

Formalize Phase L.2 as the active holistic movement/collision program, align the roadmap and architecture docs, file tactical physics follow-ups, and refresh collision memory away from rewrite-from-zero guidance.
Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
CLAUDE.md edits (6 surgical ranges):
- Goal section: introduce named-retail/ as primary; old chunks
remain as fallback for chunk-by-chunk address-range navigation.
- Workflow renamed to "grep named -> decompile -> verify -> port"
with a new STEP 0 GREP NAMED FIRST. Decompile demoted to a
fallback (Step 1) for the rare obfuscated/packed minority that
pseudo-C lacks.
- Function-map citation updated to point at symbols.json + the
cross-port hand-curated table.
- "Do not guess" rule strengthened: PDB has the answer for almost
everything; guessing is now negligence.
- Phase completion checklist accepts named symbols + addresses.
- Reference hierarchy table gets a new top row pointing at
docs/research/named-retail/ as the primary oracle for any
AC-specific algorithm — beats every other reference.
memory/project_named_decompilation.md (new): evergreen crib-sheet
with file inventory, grep examples, hard rules. Pattern matches
project_ui_architecture.md.
memory/project_retail_research_index.md: updated preamble to point
named-retail/ as first stop; older slices remain useful for
pseudocode + C# port sketches.
memory/project_collision_port.md: rewrote the "Decompiled ground
truth" section to put named-retail/ first, chunks second. The
"DECOMPILE FIRST" mandate becomes "GREP NAMED FIRST, then DECOMPILE
FALLBACK".
docs/architecture/acdream-architecture.md: Guiding Principle text
updated to introduce named-retail as the primary decomp source.
docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md: new Phase R block — Retail
research infrastructure. R.1 (corpus, shipped a9a01d8), R.2
(pdb-extract, shipped 69d884a), R.3 (actestclient vendored,
shipped a9a01d8). All marked SHIPPED 2026-04-25.
Auto-loaded MEMORY.md index updated with a new entry pointing at
project_named_decompilation.md so post-compaction sessions inherit
the workflow change automatically.
Acceptance verified:
- grep -c "named-retail" CLAUDE.md = 9 (>= 3 required)
- grep -c "named-retail" MEMORY.md = 1
- dotnet build green (docs-only commit, but verified)
Foundation phases A + B + C all landed. Next: Phase D files
ISSUES #8/#9/#11 + closes#10 (KillerNotification orphan parser).

Closes Phase D.2a. Launch with ACDREAM_DEVTOOLS=1 now shows a live
ImGui "Vitals" window whose HP bar reads CombatState.GetHealthPercent
for the local player. Without the env var the branches are dead code,
no ImGui context is created, and behaviour is identical to before.
GameWindow hunks:
- fields: _imguiBootstrap / _panelHost / _vitalsVm + DevToolsEnabled
- init (OnLoad): construct bootstrap + host, register VitalsPanel
- GUID push: _vitalsVm?.SetLocalPlayerGuid(chosen.Id) at live-connect
- frame begin: _imguiBootstrap.BeginFrame(dt) after GL clear
- frame end: _panelHost.RenderAll(ctx) + _imguiBootstrap.Render() after debug overlay
- input gating: skip WASD when ImGui.GetIO().WantCaptureKeyboard
Backend pivot: Hexa.NET.ImGui → ImGui.NET + Silk.NET.OpenGL.Extensions.ImGui.
First-light integration with the Hexa backend crashed 0xC0000005 inside
Hexa.NET.ImGui.Backends.OpenGL3.ImGuiImplOpenGL3.InitNative. Root cause:
Hexa's native OpenGL3 backend resolves GL function pointers via GLFW or
SDL internally; with Silk.NET (which uses neither) the pointers are null
and the native code crashes on first use. The mitigation path was
already planned — the design doc's Risk section called a pivot to
ImGui.NET a "one-morning operation" — and that's exactly what happened.
- Packages: Hexa.NET.ImGui 2.2.9 + Hexa.NET.ImGui.Backends 1.0.18
→ ImGui.NET 1.91.6.1 + Silk.NET.OpenGL.Extensions.ImGui 2.23.0
- ImGuiBootstrapper: was static Initialize(gl)+Shutdown() wrapping
Hexa's OpenGL3 init; now an IDisposable wrapping Silk.NET's
ImGuiController instance which handles GL backend init + input
subscription in one go.
- SilkInputBridge.cs deleted (~190 LOC): ImGuiController subscribes
IKeyboard / IMouse events itself, we don't need a bespoke bridge.
- ImGuiPanelRenderer: ImGuiNET.ImGui.* calls instead of
Hexa.NET.ImGui.ImGui.*. Widget surface unchanged.
Boundary discipline is preserved — no panel imports ImGuiNET; only
ImGuiPanelRenderer does. The D.2b custom toolkit will implement the
same IPanelRenderer contract without touching panel code.
Out of scope (tracked for follow-up):
- Stam/Mana currently return float? null (VitalsVM). Absolute values
need LocalPlayerState + PlayerDescription (0x0013) parsing to be
stored rather than discarded — filed as a post-D.2a issue.
- Mouse-capture gating (WorldMouseFallThrough-style click-through
tests) — not needed until we add clickable inventory items.
Roadmap + memory + architecture doc + UI framework plan updated in the
same commit per CLAUDE.md roadmap-discipline rules. 753 tests pass
(550 Core + 192 Core.Net + 11 new UI.Abstractions), 0 build warnings.

Landed the UI framework design in 2026-04-24-ui-framework.md yesterday;
this commit propagates the decisions across the documents that future
sessions touch first, so the three-layer pattern is discoverable without
re-reading the full plan.
Changes:
* NEW memory/project_ui_architecture.md — evergreen crib-sheet:
three-layer diagram, AcDream.UI.Abstractions contract, D.2a/D.2b
split, module layout, hard rules, why staged not pure-custom.
* CLAUDE.md: new paragraph describing the three-layer UI split, naming
AcDream.UI.Abstractions as the plugin-facing contract, pointing at
the full plan + memory crib.
* docs/architecture/acdream-architecture.md: new "UI Architecture"
companion-stack diagram after Layer 0-5 (doesn't renumber the main
stack), plus step 6a "UI tick" in Per-Frame Update Order.
* docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md Phase D tightened:
- D.2 split explicitly into D.2a (Hexa.NET.ImGui scaffold + abstraction
layer) and D.2b (custom retail-look backend, implements same contracts).
- D.3 AcFont / D.4 dat sprites / D.7 cursor flagged as D.2b dependencies.
- D.5 core panels / D.6 HUD flagged as abstraction-layer deliverables
— ship with D.2a, reskinned by D.2b.
- D.8 Sound marked superseded (shipped as Phase E.2).
- F.5 core panels + H.1 chat-window cross-references updated to say
they target AcDream.UI.Abstractions, unblocked by D.2a.
- Shipped-phases table untouched.
* docs/research/retail-ui/00-master-synthesis.md: scope note at top
clarifies the Keystone research is the D.2b (custom backend)
foundation, NOT where D.2a starts.
* ~/.claude/.../memory/MEMORY.md: one-line index entry pointing at the
new project_ui_architecture.md (so session auto-load surfaces it).
Zero code changes; doc-only. dotnet build stays green. All verification
greps pass (see plan file for exact checks).
The single most important document in the project. Defines:
Architecture: 6-layer stack (Platform → Renderer → Network → World →
Game Objects → Plugin API). The code is modern C#; the behavior
matches the retail client exactly.
GameEntity: the unified entity class that replaces the current
scattered state (WorldEntity + AnimatedEntity + guid dicts + player
controller). Every world object is a GameEntity with PhysicsBody +
AnimationSequencer + CellTracker + MotionInterpreter + AppearanceState.
Per-frame update order: Network → Streaming → Input → Entity tick
(motion → physics → collision → cell → animation) → Render → Plugin.
Execution plan (R1-R8):
R1: GameEntity refactor (unify scattered state)
R2: Thin GameWindow (extract to proper systems)
R3: CellBSP + wall collision (indoor transitions)
R4: Complete animation state machine
R5: Lighting from decompiled AdjustPlanes
R6: Server compliance (authoritative Z, keepalive)
R7: Interaction (doors, NPCs, chat, inventory)
R8: Plugin API completion (Lua macros)
Also updates CLAUDE.md to establish the architect role and reference
the architecture doc as the single source of truth.
