1453ff7da2 feat(D.2b): retail 3-slice vital bars + headless mockup verifier
Render each vital bar as a horizontal 3-slice from the real retail
RenderSurface sprites (authoritative ids from the vitals LayoutDesc
0x21000014 via dump-vitals-bars): a fixed-width bevelled left-cap, a
stretched glassy-gradient middle, and a fixed-width right-cap. The
empty back track draws full width; the coloured front fill grows from
the left to the value (the track owns the right end, so the fill omits
its own right-cap). Replaces the flat single-sprite Alphablend overlay
that read as the old UI - this is the bordered gradient look from the
retail screenshot (red HP / gold stamina / blue mana).

UiMeter gains the six 9-slice ids (BackLeft/Tile/Right +
FrontLeft/Tile/Right) and a DrawHBar helper; MarkupDocument parses the
backleft/backtile/backright/frontleft/fronttile/frontright attrs;
vitals.xml carries the 18 per-vital ids. The temporary
ACDREAM_BAR_PROVEOUT component grid is removed.

Adds AcDream.Cli render-vitals-mockup: a headless ImageSharp composite
that assembles the bars with the SAME DrawHBar logic, so the sprite
assembly can be verified by eye (Read the PNG) without launching the
client + server - the fast UI-iteration loop the user asked for.
export-ui-sprite dumps a single RenderSurface to PNG for HTML mockups.

d3165f99d7 feat(vfx): Phase E.3 particle system + hook wiring + registry
Full runtime particle pipeline consuming Phase E.1's animation hooks.
13 motion integrators, per-emitter particle pools with overwrite-oldest
eviction, colour / scale / alpha interpolation over life, and a
ParticleHookSink routing CreateParticle / DestroyParticle / StopParticle /
CreateBlockingParticle hooks from the animation-hook router.

Core layer:
- ParticleSystem: handle-based emitter pool, per-tick emission
  accumulator (retail Birthrate = time-between-spawns → our emit rate
  via 1/B), 13 integrators covering the full ParticleType enum:
  Still, LocalVelocity, GlobalVelocity, 7 Parabolic variants (all
  apply Gravity * dt to velocity), Swarm (orbital drift),
  Explode (outward from anchor), Implode (inward to anchor, dies at
  convergence).
- EmitterDescRegistry: id-keyed EmitterDesc cache with fallback-to-
  default for unknown ids. Replaces the dat-loaded path until
  Chorizite.DatReaderWriter exposes ParticleEmitterInfo (v2.1.7 does
  not; upgraded from 2.1.4 anyway for future types).
- ParticleHookSink: wires the full hook family:
  - CreateParticleHook → SpawnEmitterById at entity pose + hook offset
  - CreateBlockingParticleHook → marker only (blocking semantics live
    in the sequencer not here)
  - DestroyParticleHook → StopEmitter(handle, fadeOut=false)
  - StopParticleHook   → StopEmitter(handle, fadeOut=true)
  - (Default/CallPES deferred until PhysicsScript dat is loadable)

GameWindow integration:
- ParticleSystem created eagerly (no driver dep), sink registered with
  hook router, Tick advanced per OnRender frame after animation tick so
  hooks fired this frame get integrated.

Tests (11 new): spawn-handle, emit-over-time steady state, lifetime
death curve, LocalVelocity movement, Parabolic gravity arc, Explode
outward trajectory, StopEmitter instant kill vs fadeOut, MaxParticles
cap enforcement, registry default fallback, registry custom
registration.

Upgraded Chorizite.DatReaderWriter 2.1.4 → 2.1.7 across Core + Cli.

Build green, 508 tests pass (up from 497).

Ref: r04 §2 (CParticleManager), §3 (13 integrators), §6 (PhysicsScript).
Renderer (instanced billboarded quads in translucent pass) ships next
commit; this one covers the data / logic / wiring layer in full.

020ec2a35d chore: phase 0 — skeleton + dat asset inventory
Brand-new solution targeting .NET 10, using Chorizite.DatReaderWriter 2.1.4
to walk a retail AC dat directory and print how many of each asset type live
in client_portal / client_cell_1 / client_highres / client_local_English.

Opens the four dats in ~16 ms and counts 887,381 indexed assets across 40+
tracked DBObj types. Cell-database terrain (LandBlock, LandBlockInfo, EnvCell)
uses mask-based IDs that DatReaderWriter 2.1.4's GetAllIdsOfType<T> does not
support; worked around with a manual b-tree walk in CountCellByLow16.

Sanity check: LandBlock count is 65,025 = 255 x 255, exactly the AC world grid.
