The final B.2 review found the TS header undercounted: there are 32 contiguous
rows (TS-1..TS-32) but the header read "31". The base already undercounted (said
"32" with 33 rows TS-1..TS-33); deleting TS-33 with a literal 32→31 decrement
preserved the off-by-one. Set the header to the verified actual count.

ToolbarController is now the LIVE drag handler:
- OnDragLift: removes the source slot from ShortcutStore, sends
RemoveShortcut (0x019D) wire immediately (retail remove-on-lift model).
- HandleDropRelease: evicts occupant from target (RemoveShortcut),
places dragged item (AddShortcut 0x019C), bumps evicted item into
the vacated source slot if empty (swap path); off-bar release leaves
the lift's removal standing.
- Populate() now lazy-loads ShortcutStore from the PD shortcut list on
first call; store is authoritative thereafter.
- IsShortcutGuid() uses the store (O(18)) when loaded, falls back to
scanning _shortcuts() in the pre-PD window.
- All 18 slot cells now get DragAcceptSprite=0x060011FA (green cross,
distinct from the inventory ring 0x060011F9).
- GameWindow.Bind wired: sendAddShortcut + sendRemoveShortcut lambdas
forwarded to _liveSession?.Send*().
- Divergence register: AP-47 Divergence+Risk cells updated (opacity
corrected, underlay-backing framing improved). TS-33 row deleted
(stopgap retired). Section header 32→31 rows.
- Tests: HandleDropRelease_isInertStub removed; 5 new B.2 tests added
(lift removes + sends, swap sequence, empty-target place, self-drop
re-adds, green-cross sprite). 24/24 ToolbarController tests pass.

Bite-sized TDD plan, three slices: (1) Core ShortcutStore + the AddShortcut
0x019C/RemoveShortcut 0x019D wire (rename BuildAddShortcut to the real
Index/ObjectId/SpellId/Layer fields; SendAddShortcut/SendRemoveShortcut); (2)
spine extensions (OnDragLift hook; ghost snapshotted at BeginDrag at full
opacity; FinishDrag delivers a drop only on a real hit); (3) ToolbarController
as the live handler (store-driven Populate w/ lazy-load; green-cross FA overlay;
OnDragLift removes + HandleDropRelease places + bumps displaced→source; wire
actions injected from GameWindow). Amends AP-47, deletes TS-33. Spec + plan
preapproved; executing subagent-driven next.

From the user's visual-gate feedback + a retail decomp trace this session.
Retail's model is remove-on-lift / place-on-drop / no-restore (confirmed:
RecvNotice_ItemListBeginDrag 0x004bd930 → RemoveShortcut 0x004bd450 at lift;
HandleDropRelease 0x004be7c0 places + bumps displaced → source; off-bar drop
leaves it removed). This unifies the user's points 3/4/5 into one mechanism.
Verified the drop sprite against client_portal.dat: 0x060011F9 = green RING
(inventory), 0x060011FA = green CROSS (toolbar) — user was right.
Scope (toolbar-internal; drag-from-inventory is Stream C): spine extensions
(lift hook on IItemListDragHandler; ghost snapshotted at BeginDrag at full
opacity so it survives the source emptying; FinishDrag delivers a drop only on
a real hit, off-bar = nothing); a mutable 18-slot ShortcutStore; ToolbarController
as the live handler (OnDragLift removes; HandleDropRelease places + bumps); the
AddShortcut 0x019C / RemoveShortcut 0x019D wire (fix the BuildAddShortcut param
names; SendAddShortcut/SendRemoveShortcut on WorldSession); green-cross overlay.
Amends AP-47 (ghost now full opacity), retires TS-33 (real wire replaces the stub).

Filed from the B.1 spine code review. No-op today (toolbar Clicked guards
ItemId!=0); deliberately NOT guarded with a speculative _dragCancelled bit
(would make item-slots differ from every other widget + guess at retail).

Implements Task 4 of the drag-drop spine: ToolbarController now satisfies
IItemListDragHandler. The ctor loop wires RegisterDragHandler(this) on every
slot list and stamps Cell.SlotIndex + Cell.SourceKind=ShortcutBar, matching
retail's gmToolbarUI::PostInit/RegisterItemListDragHandler pattern. OnDragOver
accepts any non-empty payload (TS-33 stub; eligibility gate is Stream B.2).
HandleDropRelease logs and returns (no AddShortcut 0x019C / RemoveShortcut
0x019D wire yet). Three new B.1 xUnit tests cover handler registration, accept,
and inert-stub semantics. All 490 app tests pass.

Stream B.1 of the 2026-06-18 handoff — the shared widget-level drag-drop
infra that both shortcut-drag (B) and the inventory window (C) sit on.
Four design decisions confirmed with the user this session:
1. Payload = typed ItemDragPayload record snapshotted at drag-begin
(ObjId/SourceKind/SourceSlot/SourceCell); SourceContainer derived at
drop from ClientObjectTable (single source of truth).
2. Cursor ghost painted by UiRoot via a generic UiElement.GetDragGhost()
hook — keeps UiRoot item-agnostic; floats above all windows.
3. Cell (UiItemSlot) is the drop-target hit unit + accept/reject overlay
owner, delegating the decision + dispatch UP to its parent UiItemList's
registered IItemListDragHandler (faithful to retail cell->ItemList_DragOver
->m_dragHandler; scales to the inventory N-cell grid).
4. PR ships infra + a visible toolbar STUB handler (logs, no wire) so the
ghost/overlay/dispatch are confirmable this session; AddShortcut/Remove
wire is Stream B.2.
Retail-grounded: InqDropIconInfo flags (&0xE==0 fresh / &4 reorder, reject
state 0x10000040) confirmed live at gmToolbarUI 0x004bd162; the cell
begin-drag/CatchDroppedItem/RegisterItemListDragHandler chain at decomp
229344/229744/230461. Planned register rows: AP-47 (ghost reuses full icon
at reduced alpha vs retail m_pDragIcon) + TS-33 (toolbar drop stub pending
B.2). No new wire format in the spine itself.

Integrates main's 19 commits (A7 outdoor/indoor torch lighting Fix A/B/C/D,
GlobalLightPacker, shader updates, UN-7) under the D.5 toolbar/item-model stack
(D.5.1/D.5.2/D.5.4/D.5.3a). Auto-merged cleanly except docs/ISSUES.md.
Conflict resolved: both lineages used #140 for different issues. Kept main's
#140 = "A7 Fix D" (resolved); renumbered the toolbar/selected-object issue to
#141 (note added; this branch's commits/spec still reference #140 — immutable).
The register auto-merged (AP-46 cites file:line, not #140; UN-7 keeps #140=Fix D).
Build + full suite green on the merged tree (2,713 passed / 4 skipped).

Selected-object meter health half passed the visual gate (2026-06-20): name on
the black band, attackable-only health gate, UpdateHealth-driven bar, green flash,
no magenta. Mana (0x100001A2) + stack entry/slider (0x100001A3/A4) remain deferred.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Visual gate against retail surfaced several fidelity gaps in the selected-object
strip; all fixed and user-confirmed. Faithful to gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635) + RecvNotice_UpdateObjectHealth (:196213).
- UiMeter.DrawHBar: guard each slice on `id != 0` BEFORE resolve. resolve(0)
returns the 1x1 magenta placeholder with a non-zero GL handle, so the single-
image meter (caps id=0) was drawing 1px magenta caps at the bar's ends. The
3-slice vitals meter (all ids set) was unaffected. (the magenta-lines bug)
- SelectedObjectController: meter visibility is now UpdateHealth-driven (shown when
health is known for the selected guid — HasHealth at select or HealthChanged),
not shown-on-select; brief green selection flash via Tick revert; overlay floated
above the meter so the flash isn't hidden by the bar; name top-aligned into the
bar sprite's black band (NameBandHeight) with the bar below.
- GameWindow.IsHealthBarTarget: gate the health bar on the server PWD bits
BF_ATTACKABLE (0x10) | BF_PLAYER (0x8) — friendly/vendor NPCs and attackable
Doors (Misc type) are name-only; players/monsters get the bar. Replaces the
too-loose IsLiveCreatureTarget. Wired SelectedObjectController.Tick in OnUpdate.
- CombatState.HasHealth(guid): distinguishes a known health value from the 1.0
default, so a re-selected already-assessed target shows its bar immediately.
- TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface: resolve the surface's DefaultPaletteId
so paletted (P8/INDEX16) UI sprites decode instead of falling to magenta.
- ToolbarController.HiddenIds: also hide 0x100001A3 (stack-entry box) — retail
hides it in HandleSelectionChanged; it was rendering as a stray black box.
Divergence register: AP-47 (meter-visible timing) retired (now faithful); AP-46
rewritten to the BF_ATTACKABLE/BF_PLAYER gate approximation. Full suite green
(2,688 passed / 4 skipped). User-confirmed: name on top, NPC name-only, monster
bar on assess, green flash, no magenta.

Resolves the divergence-register conflict: kept the accurate per-VERTEX AP-35
(Fix A shipped per-vertex; main's row was the stale pre-Fix-A per-pixel text),
kept main's UI rows AP-37..AP-42, and renumbered this branch's torch-gate row
AP-37 -> AP-43 (AP-37 was taken by main's LayoutDesc row). AP count 41 -> 42.
Retargeted the AP-37 references in WbDrawDispatcher + the CHECKPOINT to AP-43.
Marked ISSUES #140 RESOLVED (b7d655b) with the corrected root cause.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Holtburg meeting-hall facade washed out warm/bright vs retail. The round-1
checkpoint blamed torch REACH (acdream Falloff 6×1.3=7.8m vs a supposed retail
Falloff 4). That theory is WRONG, and this commit fixes the real cause.
Empirical (HoltburgTorchFalloffProbeTests, headless dat dump via the production
LightInfoLoader): the orange entrance torch (setup 0x020005D8) is raw dat
Falloff 6 and acdream reads it FAITHFULLY — there is no Falloff-4 torch anywhere
in Holtburg. Both clients read the same dat float, so reach was never inflated.
Decomp (read verbatim + corroborated by an independent adversarial workflow):
retail's per-object torch binder minimize_object_lighting (0x0054d480) is gated
in RenderDeviceD3D::DrawMeshInternal (0x0059f398) by `if (Render::useSunlight == 0)`.
The outdoor landscape stage runs useSunlightSet(1) (PView::DrawCells 0x005a485a,
before LScape::draw), so the building EXTERIOR shell — drawn via
DrawBlock→DrawSortCell→DrawBuilding→CPhysicsPart::Draw→DrawMeshInternal — is lit
by SUN + ambient ONLY; torches are SKIPPED. The static bake
(SetStaticLightingVertexColors 0x0059cfe0) is EnvCell-only. So retail NEVER
torch-lights outdoor objects. This exactly explains the isolation test (object
point lights OFF → building matches retail).
Fix: WbDrawDispatcher.ComputeEntityLightSet gates per-object torch selection on
the object being INDOOR (ParentCellId is an EnvCell, (id&0xFFFF)>=0x0100) via the
pure predicate IndoorObjectReceivesTorches. Outdoor objects (building shells with
null ParentCellId, outdoor scenery, outdoor creatures) keep the all-(-1) light
set ⇒ sun + ambient only = retail. The indoor "no sun" half is already handled by
the global sun-kill when the player is inside a cell (UpdateSunFromSky). No
dungeon regression: EnvCell statics get ParentCellId set (keep torches).
Divergence register: AP-37 (residual: acdream keys sun/torch on the object's own
cell + a per-frame player-inside sun-kill, vs retail's per-draw-stage useSunlight;
only matters for through-doorway look-ins). The round-1 CHECKPOINT got a RESOLVED
banner correcting the reach theory.
Tests: WbDrawDispatcherTorchGateTests (7), HoltburgTorchFalloffProbeTests (dat
dump). App 280/1skip, Core 1486/2skip green. Held at the visual gate — not merged.

Same-instant cdb proved acdream ambient (0.447) == retail (0.4465) and time/sun match,
so the building/character over-brightness is NOT the bake/wrap/EnvCell/clamp (D-1..D-4,
all correct but off-target) — those light the wrong surfaces. The Holtburg building
exterior is a mode-0 OBJECT (IsBuildingShell, not an EnvCell). Isolation (object point
lights gated OFF) made it match retail => cause is the torch REACH being too long
(acdream range 7.8 = Falloff 6x1.3 vs retail 5.2 = Falloff 4x1.3), flooding the small
facade. OPEN: confirm same-torch Falloff acdream-vs-retail before tightening the reach.
Diagnostic shader hack reverted (tree clean); D-1..D-4 kept. Branch not merged.

Port of gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635).
When the player selects a world object the action bar's bottom strip shows the
object name + (for player/pet/attackable targets) a live Health meter; deselect
clears it. Mana (#140) + stack slider deferred.
- SelectedObjectController (new): clear-then-populate on selection change; sets
name (UiText child, VitalsController pattern), overlay state (ObjectSelected /
StackedItemSelected via UiDatElement.ActiveState), shows the health meter and
sends QueryHealth for health targets. Subscribes via a delegate seam (no
GameWindow coupling).
- GameWindow: _selectedGuid field -> SelectedGuid property + SelectionChanged
event (fires on actual change only); 3 write sites converted, reads untouched.
All selection-write paths (LMB pick, Tab/Q, despawn-clear via Tick()) run on
the render thread, so the event-driven UI mutation is single-threaded.
- WorldSession.SendQueryHealth (0x01BF) — wraps SocialActions.BuildQueryHealth.
- DatWidgetFactory.BuildMeter: handle the single-image toolbar meter shape
(back-track on the element's own DirectState, fill on one Type-3 child). The
sprites go in the TILE slot (DrawMode=Normal tiles to full bar geometry per
UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren) — a left-cap assignment would gap/clamp a
sub-140px sprite. Vitals 3-slice path unchanged.
- ToolbarController.HiddenIds: A1 (health) now owned by SelectedObjectController;
A2 (mana) + A4 (stack) stay hidden (deferred) so their dat back-tracks don't
render as stray empty bars.
Adversarial Opus review found + fixed: the mana-meter orphan (A2 left unhidden)
and the meter tile-vs-cap render bug (C1). Divergence rows AP-46 (health gate
approximation: IsLiveCreatureTarget vs IsPlayer||pet||attackable) + AP-47
(meter shown on select vs on UpdateHealth reply). Spec §5 corrected.
Build + full test suite green (2,684 passed / 4 skipped). Health meter render
fidelity (full-width fill + fraction mapping) pending the user's visual gate.

Brainstormed design for the action bar's bottom strip: name + Health meter
on selection (mana deferred #140). Decisions: SelectionChanged via property
setter; send QueryHealth(0x01BF) on select. Grounded in retail
gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635) —
clear-then-populate, overlay state 0x1000000b, health gate
IsPlayer||pet||attackable. Render-bug fix is BuildMeter-only (single-image
back+fill meter; UiMeter already renders it).

AP-35: the "numerically equivalent" claim was false. Residual is now two
parts: (a) per-frame GPU evaluate vs retail's bake-once (architecture/perf
difference only; formula matches), and (b) SelectForObject 8-cap means a
surface reached by >8 point lights is dimmer than retail's uncapped bake.
Cross-references AP-16 for the cap ownership.
AP-16: the old "global nearest-8 viewer-distance into UBO" description was
stale — the UBO point-light path is now vestigial (mesh_modern.vert skips
posAndKind.w!=0 entries; point lights come exclusively from the per-object
SSBO binding 5). Retargeted to the current SelectForObject per-object/cell
8-cap mechanism with correct file:line (LightManager.cs:234), both call
sites (ComputeEntityLightSet + GetCellLightSet), and the retail oracle
distinction (hardware cap 0x0054d480 faithful; bake 0x0059cfe0 not).
Preserved the UBO-directional-only note inline rather than losing it.

Fix A (aa94ced) moved point lighting to per-vertex Gouraud and ported the
half-Lambert wrap + norm distance attenuation. Fix D D-1 added the separate
point-light accumulator clamped to [0,1] matching retail's
SetStaticLightingVertexColors bake clamp.
AP-35 previously stated the path was per-pixel (mesh_modern.frag:52) and
that wrap + normalization factor were "neither ported" — both wrong. Rewrite
to reflect current state: per-vertex in mesh_modern.vert (pointContribution),
wrap + norm ported, point sum clamped. Residual is architecture-only (per-
frame GPU evaluate vs retail bake-once), not a visual divergence.

Task-by-task TDD plan: (1) extract GlobalLightPacker (Core, pure) + test + refactor
WbDrawDispatcher; (2) lock the bake contract via LightBake conformance test on the
captured golden torches; (3) D-1 clamp the point-light sum on its own in
mesh_modern.vert; (4) D-2 EnvCellRenderer binds its own per-cell light set (SSBO 4+5)
via SelectForObject over cell bounds; (5) correct register AP-35 + reconcile Fix B.

Resolve the Fix D contradiction with decomp (workflow wf_f660eb88 + adversarial
verify) + 4 live cdb captures. The D3D-FF model was the WRONG oracle: retail has
TWO light systems — STATIC torches BAKE into wall vertices (calc_point_light,
triple-clamped: range gate + per-channel min(scale*color,color) + per-vertex
[0,1] from black), DYNAMIC lights go D3D hardware. The captured intensity=100 is
the purple PORTAL (magenta, dynamic), not a wall torch. Ground truth: 38 static
warm torches (orange (1,0.588,0.314)/cream, intensity=100, falloff 3-5) + 2 dynamic.
acdream over-brightness = two confirmed bugs: D-1 mesh_modern.vert folds
ambient+sun+torches into one UNCLAMPED accumulator (single frag clamp) -> warm
blowout; D-2 EnvCellRenderer never binds SSBO 4/5 so the cell shell reads a leaked
light set. Spec: D-1 in-shader clamp-split (clamp the torch sum on its own before
ambient/sun); D-2 bind the shell's own per-cell light set (mirror WbDrawDispatcher);
LightBake.cs is the C# conformance oracle. Adds the 4 reusable cdb capture scripts.

Two guid-keyed tables (retail shape), CreateObject = canonical merge-upsert
for the data table (ACCWeenieObject-equivalent holding ALL server objects),
container membership index, retire _liveEntityInfoByGuid + EnrichItem. Settles

Frames the root cause of the live-Coldeve 4/6-missing-hotbar-icons (acdream's
enrich-existing-only item model drops CreateObjects without a pre-seeded stub) and
the retail ClientObjMaintSystem model to port. CRUX to settle first: unify the
WorldEntity + ItemRepository tracks, or keep separate with shared ingestion.

Visual verification (Coldeve, Energy Crystal) showed acdream's Magical blue as a
flat tint vs retail's gradient. Root cause: RenderIcons calls the SURFACE overload
of SurfaceWindow::ReplaceColor (0x004415b0), which copies the textured effect tile
pixel-by-pixel into the icon's pure-white pixels — not the flat color->color overload
(0x00441530) I'd approximated with the tile's mean color. Port the surface overload
exactly (dst[x,y]=src[x,y] where dst==white); confirmed via clean Ghidra decompile +
named decomp. Retires AP-43 (mean-color approximation); IA-18 updated to the surface op.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Visual verification caught it: a no-mana scroll's icon edges are BLACK in retail
but rendered WHITE in acdream. Cause = the effects!=0 gate (registered AP-44) that
skipped retail's effects==0 recolor. Retail's effect tile is non-null even for
effects==0 (the 0x21 SOLID-BLACK fallback 0x060011C5), so RenderIcons recolors
pure-white pixels to black on mundane items and to the effect hue on magical ones.
Remove the gate (always recolor); retire AP-44 (now faithful). TryGetEffectColor
made internal + a golden test pins effects==0 -> ~black.

Bite-sized TDD plan for the stateful item-icon system. Corrects spec 5.8:

Research basis (clean Ghidra decompile via MCP + live-dat probe + ACE oracle)
overturns two handoff hypotheses:
- Appraise carries NO icon/UiEffects data (Icon/IconOverlay/IconUnderlay +
PropertyInt.UiEffects all lack [AssessmentProperty]); every icon input is
CreateObject-only. The "wire appraise -> enrichment" item is a no-op.
- The effect overlay (enum 0x10000005) is a ReplaceColor tint SOURCE, not a
blit layer (RenderIcons 0x0058d180 + ReplaceColor 0x00441530); effect tiles
are 32x32 fully-opaque colored squares.
Design (user-approved): capture UiEffects (weenieFlags 0x80, currently discarded)
-> ItemInstance.Effects; faithful 2-stage IconComposer recolor (white pixels ->
effect hue); live PublicUpdatePropertyInt(0x02CE) wire-up so the icon updates as
state changes ("item with mana vs out of mana"). Drops the appraise no-op.

built by DatWidgetFactory, thin find-by-id controllers, the ConsumesDatChildren
leaf rule, Type-3-not-registered decision, and the centered-UiText vitals numbers.
Both visual gates user-confirmed; 404 tests green.

The vitals cur/max numbers now render through the generic UiText widget — retail
gmVitalsUI uses UIElement_Text for them, not a meter-internal label. VitalsController
attaches a centered, non-interactive UiText child to each meter and stops the meter
drawing its own label (UiMeter.Label -> null). New UiText.Centered draws the first line
centered H+V with the SAME formula UiMeter's overlay used, so the numbers are
pixel-identical — user-confirmed in the live client.
This completes the D.2b widget-generalization pass: every chat + vitals widget is now
built generically and registered to its retail Type (Button/Field*/Menu/Meter/Scrollbar/
Text), with thin find-by-id controllers. (*Field is controller-placed; Type 3 stays
UiDatElement for chrome.)
Divergence register: AP-37 vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause retired. Full suite:
404 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

Record the two execution-time corrections to the design's registration
assumptions: the editable input resolves to Type 12 (Variant B, controller-placed
UiField), and Type 3 is NOT factory-registered (acdream's Type-3 elements are
chrome/containers, kept on the UiDatElement fallback).

Rename UiChatView -> UiText (the retail UIElement_Text class,
RegisterElementClass(0xc) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:115655).
Factory changes (DatWidgetFactory.cs):
- Remove the Type-12 skip (was: no-media -> null, with-media -> UiDatElement).
- Add Type 12 -> BuildText() -> UiText in the switch.
- BuildText extracts the element's Direct/Normal sprite as BackgroundSprite
so any dat-media the element carried keeps rendering under the text.
UiText changes (renamed from UiChatView.cs):
- BackgroundColor default: (0,0,0,0.35) -> (0,0,0,0) (transparent).
An unbound UiText draws nothing; the controller opts in to the translucent bg.
- New BackgroundSprite + SpriteResolve: optional dat state-sprite background
drawn UNDER DrawFill+text (faithful UIElement_Text media support).
ChatWindowController.cs (Task 5 Step 8):
- Transcript property: UiChatView -> UiText.
- Bind() now uses layout.FindElement(TranscriptId) as UiText (factory-built)
instead of manually constructing + AddChild-ing a new UiChatView.
- Sets BackgroundColor = (0,0,0,0.35) on the found widget (retail translucent bg).
- Removes the tInfo null-check from the early guard (transcript is factory-built;
iInfo lookup kept for the input widget which is still manually constructed).
- BuildLines: UiChatView.Line -> UiText.Line throughout.
Vitals frozen: the Type-12 vitals number elements are meter children and are
never recursed by BuildWidget (the `if (w is not UiMeter)` gate), so they are
not built as widgets and keep rendering via UiMeter.Label. Vitals fixture
vitals_2100006C.json unchanged; LayoutConformanceTests + VitalsBindingTests green.
Tests:
- UiChatViewTests.cs -> UiTextTests.cs (class: UiTextTests, all UiChatView.* -> UiText.*)
- UiChatViewDatFontTests.cs -> UiTextDatFontTests.cs (same)
- DatWidgetFactoryTests: delete Type12_StylePrototype_ReturnsNull +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12WithMedia_Renders; add Type12_Text_MakesUiText +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12_AlwaysMakesUiText.
- LayoutImporterTests: BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present updated
to assert IsType<UiText> (element is now in tree, transparent, not skipped).
Divergence register: AP-37 amended -- removed the "standalone Type-0 text
elements skipped / dat-text widget is Plan 2" clause (now shipped as UiText);
kept the meter-collapse clause and the vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause.
AP-38/AP-39/AD-28 file references updated UiChatView.cs -> UiText.cs.

UiChannelMenu → UiMenu: removed ChatChannelKind, the 14-item array, the
button-text map, and the availability default. Generic surface: MenuItem
(label + object? Payload), Selected (object?), OnSelect, EnabledProvider,
ButtonLabelProvider, RowsPerColumn/RowHeight/ColumnWidth (all settable).
All draw/event mechanics unchanged — same popup geometry, same click
coordinates, same 8-piece bevel, same 3-slice button face.
ChatWindowController gains ChannelItems[], ChannelButtonLabel(), and
ChannelAvailable() (verbatim from old widget), and populates the
factory-built Type-6 UiMenu via find-by-id rather than constructing a
replacement widget. The Menu property type is now UiMenu. OnChannelChanged
wrap replaced with the generic OnSelect wrap for the ReflowInputRow hook.
DatWidgetFactory registers Type 6 → new UiMenu().
Tests: UiChannelMenuTests → UiMenuTests (10 tests, all green); factory
Type6 test added; ChatWindowControllerTests updated to use OnSelect.
Divergence register: AP-42 added (flat item model vs retail nested-submenu
MakePopup @0x46d310 — latent, unreachable through the chat menu).

- git mv UiChatScrollbar.cs → UiScrollbar.cs; rename class + update doc summary to
"Generic scrollbar. Ports retail UIElement_Scrollbar (RegisterElementClass(0xb) @
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:124137); thumb size = trackLen * ThumbRatio (min 8px); step ±1 line."
- git mv UiChatScrollbarTests.cs → UiScrollbarTests.cs; rename test class + replace
every UiChatScrollbar reference with UiScrollbar (bodies unchanged).
- DatWidgetFactory: register Type 11 → new UiScrollbar() before the _ fallback case.
- ChatWindowController: change Scrollbar property type to UiScrollbar; replace the old
"construct-remove-add" block with a "find factory-built UiScrollbar and bind in place"
block (no RemoveChild/AddChild); keep `var track` assignment in scope so the Max/Min
block's track.Left/track.Width reads still compile against UiElement?.
- AP-41 divergence register: update file:line to UiScrollbar.cs:35; narrow wording to
"fallback only — single-tile drawn only when cap ids are unset; the chat controller
passes all three cap ids so the 3-slice path is the active code path."
- Update inline UiChatScrollbar doc-comment references in UiScrollable.cs + UiChatView.cs.
- Full suite: 399 passed, 2 skipped (dat/tower fixture skips), 0 failed.
