M1: the 'U4 resolved: zero range captions' claim is the SAME BN zero-fold
artifact lane A caught on AddHeader — the bytes at 0x0049E4C6 load two
string-id globals (ID_Graphics_Value_Hard/_Soft) and all six labelled
sliders decode cleanly (Stiffness Soft/Hard, Adjustment Slow/Fast, FOV
Narrow/Wide, Brightness Dark/Bright, Performance Speed/Detail, Degrade
Close/Far) — U4 closes the OPPOSITE way; OP5's Chat sliders already
ported the same mechanism. M2: the three Sound 'Disabled' toggles are
sense-INVERTED (the INI key names the string; the registered static is
effect_sounds_enabled = 1) — SFX/ambient ship muted for every user
including existing settings.json installs, undoing Campaign A; a test,
AP-199's wording, and gate step 6 all enshrine it. M3: UI_ChatFontFace
ships 1 of retail's 5 authored choices (all five font strings verbatim
in the binary) with default index 2 out of range — a self-inflicted
copy of the genuine LandscapeDrawDistance oddity. S1: the sixth
trailing separator missing (retail builds 39 items); lane A's '24 rows'
is itself stale (27 is right). S2: Screen Brightness overloads Gamma
([-1,1] default 0 into a [0.5,2.0] multiplier defaulting 1.0). S3:
tooltips reach 12/30 rows (TooltipText exists only on UiButton). S4:
the 800x600 default is absent from the hardcoded resolution list. S5:
the tests pin safe seams and miss every risky one (no ApplyAudio value
assertion, no label/choice conformance, no per-row default pin, no
count pin). A large verified-clean catalog is recorded so the rework
does not re-litigate.
Rework round 1 queues behind the OP5 fixer.
