Mechanism MUST-FIX 1: the connected-gate script's steps 1/9/10 carried
the REFUTED x-order guess forward — claiming Friends was drawn left-most
and that the authored default (Allegiance) was somehow NOT the left-most
tab. The real authored order (fixture + live-mount probe, corroborated
by each page's own P0x57 action-map id) is Allegiance (x=0, DEFAULT),
Fellowship, Friends, Squelch — the default tab IS the left-most tab.
Fixed steps 1, 9, 10, and the "What to report" bullet that repeated the
wrong claim.
Mechanism MUST-FIX 2: step 14 sent the user to `@allegiance info` as a
trigger that would supposedly reveal the monarch/patron blocks, and told
them to report it if it didn't — the trigger CANNOT fire post-FA2
(0x0020 AllegianceUpdate is the only inbound writer of this panel's
data; 0x027C, the @allegiance info response, stopped seeding it in
4272ad0e) and FA3 sends no 0x001F subscription at all (FA5 scope). The
script primed the user to file a false defect. Rewritten to state the
true FA3 expectation: @allegiance info prints real data to chat, the
panel blocks stay hidden regardless, for the whole gate — report
NEITHER half as a bug; the actual anomaly to watch for is the blocks
becoming visible at all.
Mechanism SHOULD-FIX 4: step 11's Fellowship checkbox count hedge
("three... a fourth may also be present") replaced with the settled
count (four).
Blast NIT 8 / gate note: added two steps the original script never
exercised — a long-roster Friends/Squelch scroll check (exactly where
blast MF-1's scrollbar-wiring fix bites, and a short test roster would
never surface it) and an honest restore-open-across-relaunch
observation step (the social panel follows the SAME restore-open
convention every sibling main panel already has — Options/Spellbook/
Character/Inventory/Vitae — stated up front so it isn't mistaken for a
bug mid-gate).
Blast SHOULD-FIX 6: docs/ISSUES.md #383 said the two drifted fixtures
were committed "days ago" — git says otherwise: ~18h and ~21h before the
FA3 regeneration run, the previous day. Corrected, and added the
mechanism reviewer's no-drift finding for the NEW social-panel fixture
(cross-checked against the live probe on every axis, zero drift) —
narrows the issue to exactly the two pre-existing OP-era fixtures.
Blast SHOULD-FIX 7: the §10 addendum in fa-panel-structure.md had five
`**` bold markers (odd count) — an orphaned trailing marker bled bold
formatting into the following section. Dropped the orphan; the addendum
now bolds only its lead sentence and the inline "Allegiance" callout,
both balanced pairs.
Mechanism SHOULD-FIX 1 (research-doc half): filed unknown U11 in §8 —
what a repeat F3/F4 press does when the panel is open on the OTHER tab
is not established from retail decomp (no OnAction consumer exists for
either action in the binary); acdream's own OpenSpellbook-precedent
choice is not a retail port.

docs/research/2026-08-11-fa-panel-structure.md §10's coordinator
addendum inferred the social panel's button-to-page pairing from
authored x-order, landing on Friends as the implied default tab. The
FA3 fixture dump read the real authored 0x2E tab table: Allegiance
(button 0x1000028C) is the actual default, corroborated independently
by each page's own P0x57 lining up with the real F3/F4 ActionMap ids.
Same convention as the FA1/FA2 fix-round addenda already in this
campaign's docs -- correct in place, keep the original text visible.

Four Opus research lanes for the Fellowship & Allegiance campaign:
panel structure, fellowship wire (two BN zero-folds broken by byte
decode: IsFull >= 9, the x87 XP-share table capping at 2.8x), allegiance
wire (27+5 messages binary-verified; tree assembly discard/reversal
rules; ACE zeroed-field caveats), and the acdream seams audit (H.2
scaffolding inventory, J-owner recommendation, AD-78 dimmed-row
inventory, bot-gate requirements).
Coordinator U2 closure (FaPanelSlotProbeTests, live DATs): Fellowship
and Allegiance are two of FOUR pages of ONE tabbed social panel — slot
0x1000018F, panel id 12, Type-8 host — alongside gmFriendsUI and
gmSquelchUI; lane A's separate-siblings mounting call is corrected in
its addendum, and the full 16-slot dump closes every unidentified
RetailPanelCatalog entry (Abuse/Book/LinkStatus/MiniGame/UA/Vitae/
Map+House/Journal).
