R1: the K4-load-bearing IsDirty pre-check moves into GameRuntime's two
once-allocated hook lambdas — SendBlob's closure environment is allocated
in FlushCharacterOptions's PROLOGUE, ahead of any guard inside the body,
so the clean-tick fast path must never enter the method at all. The body
keeps its check as idempotent defense only; the doc comment now describes
the real mechanism instead of overclaiming.
R2: RuntimeCharacterOptionsState gains a dirty-generation token. MarkDirty
bumps it on EVERY call (including while already dirty); TryFlush /
TryFlushIfAutoSaveDue capture it before invoking the callback and only
clear IsDirty when it is unchanged after — a dirtying change landing
DURING a flush (cross-thread, or re-entrant from the callback itself,
the re-review's NOTE-6 case) now stays dirty and flushes on its own later
trigger instead of being silently erased by the trailing clear. The S2
interleaving test now asserts the retained dirty state it previously
ignored; a deterministic re-entrancy test pins the same-thread shape.
R3: a trailer-truncated PlayerDescription parse carries zero placeholder
option words, not server truth — GameEventWiring now forwards
TrailerTruncated, LiveSessionEventRouter passes armServerSeed:
!trailerTruncated, and Replace withholds the 0x01A1 flush authorization
for truncated seeds while still installing the words (pre-existing local
behavior unchanged). Newly wire-reaching via the R1/MF-1 timer, hence
closed now rather than left a NOTE.

Reworks Campaign CH slice CH2 per the REJECT-review findings doc
(docs/research/2026-08-09-ch2-review-findings.md).
BLOCKER 1 — SpewBoxController never rendered a line and leaked its
pending queue. LinesProvider only ran through UiText.OnDraw, which
gates on Visible — and the box started invisible, so the provider (the
sole caller of SpewBoxState.Tick) never ran. Gave the controller an
explicit per-frame Tick(now) driven by UiRoot's global-message-3
broadcast (a zero-size GlobalTimeSink child, the same pattern
VendorUiController.DragOverGlobalTimeSink already uses), matching
retail's gmSpewBoxUI::Update. LinesProvider now only returns the
cache. Tests rewritten to drive root.Tick(...) instead of calling the
provider directly, plus new coverage for visibility-without-a-draw,
queue-drain-without-a-draw, and bounded-queue-across-many-ticks.
BLOCKER 2 — re-derived the HandleFailureEvent routing table from the
PDB-paired binary instead of the pseudo-C's ~33-char string previews.
tools/pdb-extract/sweep_weenie_strings.py sweeps every push imm32 in
VA 0x571990-0x575480, dereferences into .rdata/.data, and decodes the
full UTF-16LE literal. Added the 5 ids dispatched via else-if (missed
by case-label enumeration), resolved 0x4F8 (previously excluded),
fixed 18 wrong strings (16 the review flagged + 2 more — 0x4E9 and
0x518 — an automated diff between every swept literal and the landed
table found). Every changed row cross-checked against ACE's
WeenieError/WeenieErrorWithString enum doc comments; both oracles
agreed on every row, including a case where the review's own proposed
text for the new 0x4E8 row was itself wrong (it was 0x4E9's text) —
corrected via the else-if block's own instruction address plus the ACE
cross-check. Pinned table count: 344 (338 + 5 + 0x4F8).
SHOULD-FIX 1 — RuntimeCommunicationState.ResetSpewBox was dead code;
folded into the ChatIdentity generation-reset stage (same lifetime
boundary), with a reset assertion added to the existing populated-reset
test.
SHOULD-FIX 2 — AddText trimmed only the trailing end and invented an
empty-string early return; retail's AddTextToScroll trims both ends
(trim(&str, 1, 1, ws)) and has no empty guard. Both retired.
SHOULD-FIX 3 — ShowWeenieError bypassed the AddText chokepoint via
ChatLog.OnWeenieError (hardcoded LogTextType 0x00); routed through
Communication.AddText(Resolve(code, param)) instead, and
ChatLog.OnWeenieError is deleted — GameEventWiring's legacy no-router
fallback now resolves + calls OnSystemMessage directly.
SHOULD-FIX 4 — retail's HandleFailureEvent switch has no default case;
an unmapped id now resolves to a null Text (silence toward the
player) instead of the invented "WeenieError 0xNNNN" hex fallback,
with a diagnostics-only console log line for the id.
NITs — AP-TBD placeholders corrected to their real register rows
(AP-178, not the unrelated AP-177 lifetime row); filed AP-180 for the
windowId dual-destination gap and corrected three stale "lands with
CH2" comments; extended SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic from dats.Portal
to dats.Local and found the SpewBox element for real — LayoutDesc
0x21000011, element 0x10000048, size 450x72, MaxConcurrentItems
(ListBox property 0x10000028) = 4, not retail's code default of 1.
AP-178 narrowed accordingly; SpewBoxState.MaxConcurrentItems and
SpewBoxController's extent/anchor/OneLine are now authored rather than
placeholder (absolute screen position and colour remain open); fixed
the "19 ids... lists 18" miscount by retiring the stale paragraph in
the class doc rewrite; aligned the UseDone handler's silent-status
check with the other two WeenieError handlers.
Full Release suite: 11,914 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (build 0
errors).

Retail routes on-screen refusals ("You can't jump while in the air",
"You are too encumbered to carry that!") through a SEPARATE transient
screen surface (gmSpewBoxUI, ClientSystem::AddTextToScroll @0x00563C50)
that never touches the chat scroll — type 0x1A is exactly the bit every
ChatInterface window's default filter excludes
(ChatInterface::ChatInterface @0x004F4550). acdream had no such split:
every WeenieError rendered in chat at a single stand-in LogTextType
0x00 (CH1-era approximation, register AP-176), and locally-detected
jump refusals were silently discarded.
This slice ports the full mechanism per
docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-interface-text.md:
CORE (AcDream.Core/Chat):
- WeenieErrorMessages.Resolve now returns (text, RetailLogTextType) from
a 338-row transcription of ClientCommunicationSystem::HandleFailureEvent
@0x00571990 (Appendix A's 339 cases minus one, 0x4F8, deliberately
excluded — its case body is a tangled decompiler artifact, not
resolvable with confidence). Spot-checked ~20 rows directly against
the raw decomp (case 0x2b/0x36/0x3a/0x4e/0x4ec/0x4f3/0x4f4 and the
jump family), beyond the ~10 the brief asked for, because the first
pass surfaced two transcription classes the research doc's markdown
silently ate: (1) 7 ids marked "shared string global" resolved by
reading the case bodies directly (0x24/0x48/0x49 reuse the jump-
refusal globals; 0x4DE/0x4DF/0x55A/0x55E are pure param passthrough);
(2) 19 "arg3 + literal" CONCATENATION ids whose leading space (and
therefore their %s marker) the markdown table's cell-trimming ate —
fixed by re-reading each case body, several requiring a SECOND
non-truncated data_XXXXXXXX dump elsewhere in the same oracle file to
recover text the ~33-char inline preview cut off. One retail typo is
preserved verbatim: 0x4F4's second placeholder is literal "$s", not
"%s" — only the first substitutes.
- ClientTextRefusals: the 11 process-lifetime string globals, all
byte-recovered from the PDB-paired C:\Users\erikn\Downloads\acclient.exe
(MATCH verified via check_exe_pdb.py) via raw UTF-16LE prefix search —
5 were truncated in the research doc's own transcription and all 5
turned out to end "...combat mode"/"...this position", not the
shorter "...combat" a truncated read would suggest.
- SpewBoxState: the gmSpewBoxUI pending/visible queue port (insert-at-0,
dedupe-against-index-0-only, MaxConcurrentItems overflow, per-entry
expiry, one-frame enqueue/drain decoupling). Placed in Core (not
Runtime as the brief's default) because AcDream.UI.Abstractions
references Core but not Runtime, and SpewBoxVM needs to wrap it
directly — the same constraint ChatVM already satisfies against
ChatLog.
- Folded the 4-entry WeenieErrorText.cs into the full table; deleted it.
RUNTIME (AcDream.Runtime):
- RuntimeCommunicationState.AddText(text, type, windowId): the
AddTextToScroll chokepoint. type == ClientLocal -> SpewBox only, never
chat; everything else -> the existing transcript, tagged with type.
- GameEventWiring gains an `onInterfaceText` delegate hole (Core.Net
cannot reference Runtime, so this follows the file's own established
pattern for every other Runtime-owned sink). Rewires 0x028A/0x028B/
UseDone through the full table + router; fixes 0x02EB
CommunicationTransientString's routing type from a CH1-era 0x00
guess to retail's hardcoded ClientLocal (Handle_Communication__
TransientString @0x0057D460).
- LiveSessionEventRouter's 0xF7E0 ServerMessage handler now routes
through AddText with the wire chatType verbatim instead of always
writing ChatLog directly.
- PlayerMovementController gains OnInterfaceText, applied by
RuntimeLocalPlayerMovementState to every controller it installs.
Reports ChargeJump/jump refusals exactly as ClientCombatSystem::
CommenceJump @0x0056AF90 / DoJump @0x0056B110 do — confirmed via
their compiled dispatch that ONLY 0x24/0x48/0x49 produce text;
0x47 (GeneralMovementFailure, fully-constrained/no-stamina) and any
other code are retail-SILENT (DoJump's jump table has exactly 4 real
targets), which contradicts this task's brief ("0x47 -> the
constrained/stamina row per §4.2") — the brief's reading of §4.2
described what jump_is_allowed COMPUTES, not what CommenceJump/DoJump
DISPLAY for it. Implemented the decomp-verified silent behavior.
APP (AcDream.App / AcDream.UI.Abstractions):
- The 5 composition sites that already used RetailLogTextType.ClientLocal
now call Communication.AddText instead of Chat.OnSystemMessage
directly, so they reach the SpewBox instead of the transcript.
- SpewBoxVM (UI.Abstractions) + SpewBoxController (App), modeled
directly on PortalWaitNoticeController. Position/font/colour/
MaxConcurrentItems are placeholders: SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic
exhaustively swept the installed client_portal.dat's entire LayoutDesc
id range (0x21000000-0x21000075, 101/118 ids populated, sanity-checked
against 3 known ids) and found ZERO elements of class 0x10000016 —
gmSpewBoxUI is mounted from C++ code, not any authored LayoutDesc, so
the dump cannot recover these values.
REGISTER: AP-176 retired (its WeenieError half is now the full table
port); its OnCombatLine half was never in this slice's scope and is
split out to AP-179 so that divergence keeps a row. AP-177 (invented
line lifetime) and AP-178 (invented position/font/colour/max-items)
filed for the presentation placeholders above. AP-175 (PopUpString ->
chat instead of modal) is untouched, not duplicated.
Suite: 11,890 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 11,835/4/0; +55 net
new tests, 0 regressions).

Applies the Opus review findings on CH1 (172c6f9a), the exact retail chat
color table. Two blockers plus should-fixes/nits, one commit:
BLOCKER 1 — LegacyChannelChatType.Resolve's channel-bit table was wrong.
Binary Ninja renders retail's `neg esi; sbb esi, esi` idiom (a branchless
select between Channel 0x08 and Channel_Send 0x09) as the trivial pseudo-C
`esi - esi` (always 0), hiding the real values. Corrected by decoding the
raw bytes at the PDB-paired binary: HEAR sbb site VA 0x00570F0A (mask -6 ->
0x08), SEND sbb site VA 0x00570D4F (mask -5 -> 0x09). The generic
admin/audit/sentinel catch-all is Channel/Channel_Send, NOT Abuse (0x0E) —
Abuse is retail's ONLY 0x0E producer (bit 0x0001). The unnamed
FellowBroadcast bit (0x4000000) is hear=Channel(0x08)/send=Fellowship(0x13),
not a flat 0x13. ACE's PDB-sourced Channel enum corroborates. Introduces
`RetailLogTextType`, the 34-value named enum for the wire LogTextType space
(values only, no color — Core stays presentation-free).
BLOCKER 2 — three ChatLog.OnSystemMessage sinks (ChatVM.ShowSystemMessage,
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's ShowSystemMessage delegate,
HeadlessGameplayOperations.DisplayMessage) were typing ALL
ClientCommandController output 0x1A (bright red), including informational
command output (@version, /loc, friends list, usage lines). Retail types
the great majority of that output 0x00 Default (green) and reserves 0x1A
for genuine refusals/errors. Reverted to 0x00 with a comment noting the
refusal-vs-info split lands with CH2's SpewBox producer rewiring. The five
App composition sites that pass 0x1A for actual refusal text
(InteractionRetainedUiComposition, SessionPlayerComposition) were already
correct and are untouched (aside from converting the literal to the new
enum).
Also: AP-176 divergence-register row for OnWeenieError/OnCombatLine's
single-type approximation of retail's per-code/per-message dispatch; a
carry-forward test for the out-of-range LogTextType color fallback in
ChatWindowController; decomp-confirmed anchors replacing ACE-inferred
citations in CombatChatTranslator and ChatLog.OnPlayerKilled; required
(non-optional) logTextType parameters on OnLocalSpeech/OnTellReceived/
OnCombatLine/OnSelfSent since no production caller relied on a default;
LegacyChannelChatType.Resolve's parameter renamed channelBit -> channelId
with a doc note on multi-bit ids; corrections to the color-table research
doc's §3.3 wire tables; and issue #359 for the pre-existing (not
CH1-introduced) 0x019E PlayerKilled participant-suppression gap retail has
and acdream lacks.
dotnet build clean; full Release suite 11,835 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(11,839 total), up from the CH1 baseline of 11,833/4/0.

Retail colors chat lines by the 34-value wire LogTextType (ACE's
ChatMessageType), NOT by acdream's synthetic 9-value ChatKind. The old
ChatWindowController.RetailChatColor(ChatKind) collapsed distinct retail
colors onto one bucket per ChatKind — e.g. every Channel line rendered
colorLightBlue (Magic's slot) when retail's actual palette spans five
different colors across the Turbine rooms and legacy allegiance family.
Ports ChatInterface::BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0 verbatim
(RetailChatColorTable, all 34 RGBA floats read from the PDB-paired
binary's .data section) and threads a new ChatEntry.LogTextType field
through every ingestion site to the correct retail wire value:
HearSpeech/Tell pass the wire chatType through verbatim; Emote/SoulEmote
hard-code 0x0C; the Tell self-echo hard-codes 0x04; legacy ChatChannel
broadcasts derive their type from the channel bit via the new
LegacyChannelChatType helper (ported from the decompiled
Handle_Communication__ChannelBroadcast dispatch, hear vs. own-send);
TurbineChat rooms map through TurbineChatDisplayNames.LogTextType;
CombatChatTranslator's hit/miss/evade lines map to ACE's CombatSelf/
CombatEnemy per Player_Combat.cs; kill/death lines use retail's
decompiled 0x00 Default (not a combat color). ChatWindowController's
transcript now folds LogTextType through RetailChatColorTable with
retail's exact "out-of-range keeps the previous line's color" carry
rule; ChatPanel's combat highlighting sources the same table.
Corrects HearSpeech.cs's doc-comment ChatType legend (4 of 6 entries
were wrong). Adds register row AP-175 for the pre-existing (unchanged)
Popup-renders-in-chat divergence and updates AP-39's stale per-ChatKind
description. Narrows ISSUES #139 — its chat-colors half is done.
Retail renders no chat timestamp prefix path exists in acdream today,
so the "timestamp is always colorGrey 0x0C" rule has nothing to attach
to; noted here per the research doc rather than left silent.

Campaign P Slice P4 Opus review verdict: FIX-FIRST. RestrictionObjPrevalenceInspectionTests
(commit 3b5e0992) found 103,766 of 729,888 installed EnvCells (1,293 landblocks -
the whole housing estate) carry a baked RestrictionObj. The AP-71 gate's
unconditional fail-closed default (CanMoveInto unmodeled) would have locked
every apartment/cottage/villa interior for every player, including its own
owner - a live regression, not the "inert in dev content" the original
register row assumed.
Ports ACCWeenieObject::CanMoveInto (0x0058da40, pc:407982-408056) and
RestrictionDB::IsAllowedIn (0x005ae8f0, pc:444493-444516) verbatim into
ObjectInfo.CheckEntryRestrictions:
- owner_iid == 0 or == mover's own guid -> admit (open/owner)
- no RestrictionDB (retail _db == 0, i.e. never authored or not yet
received) -> admit
- present RestrictionDB -> IsAllowedIn: open-to-public flag, OR mover
shares the house's allegiance monarch, OR mover's own guid is a
guest-table member
- unresolved restriction object -> fails CLOSED, exactly retail's own
fallback when GetObjectA can't resolve it (pc:704-716)
Wire feed (Core.Net):
- CreateObject.cs: HouseOwner (WeenieHeaderFlag 0x02000000), HouseRestrictions
(0x04000000), and Monarch (0x40) PWD-tail fields were parsed-and-skipped;
now captured. Also fixes the HouseRestrictions PHashTable header
misconception: the wire is ONE packed u32 (low 24 bits = entry count),
not a separate count(u16)+numBuckets(u16) pair - verified against
Chorizite's RestrictionDB.generated.cs. The old skip's byte-count
happened to match for realistic guest-list sizes, but a future
numBuckets value >255 would have corrupted the parse; now correct
regardless.
- GameEvents.cs/GameEventWiring.cs: new House_UpdateRestrictions (0x0248)
parser + wiring - retail's live guest-list refresh, whole-unit replace.
No-ops if the house object hasn't arrived via CreateObject yet.
- ClientObject/WeenieData/ClientObjectTable: HouseOwnerId, MonarchId,
Restrictions (new HouseRestrictionRecord) fields + merge-preserving
Ingest + targeted UpdateHouseRestrictions.
Physics wiring:
- PhysicsEngine gains an Objects (ClientObjectTable?) property, mirroring
the existing DataCache pattern - acdream's GetObjectA equivalent, used
ONLY by the entry-restriction gate.
- RuntimeEntityObjectLifetime wires Physics.Engine.Objects = Objects in
all three constructors, right alongside the table's own construction -
the same canonical table every other subsystem borrows from, never a
second one. This is the production fix: without it the gate still fails
closed on every restricted cell (unresolvable object), so the wiring is
load-bearing, not cosmetic.
Register: AP-129 narrowed (not retired) to the genuine remaining residual -
House_UpdateRestrictions' Sequence byte isn't used for staleness/reordering
rejection (low-probability, self-correcting), and outdoor CLandCell
restriction (a separate DAT structure) remains unported and unaffected by
this fix.
Tests: 15 new/updated in Ap71EntryRestrictionGateTests.cs (resolved-unowned
admits, owner admits, present-list-excluded blocks, present-list-included
admits, open-to-public admits, shared-allegiance-monarch admits, unresolved
blocks via null and via an empty table, plus two new end-to-end
PhysicsEngine.Objects-wired scenarios); 2 new CreateObject parser tests +
2 new GameEventWiring tests for the wire feed.
AcDream.Core.Tests: 4049 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.
AcDream.Core.Net.Tests: 761 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed.

Preserve retail's one-pending-appraisal busy lifetime, parse the complete gated response, and mount the authored examination layout in the shared main-panel host. Keep known 3D preview and inscription-write gaps explicit in AP-110.
Add the ClientUISystem ground-object lifecycle, authoritative root and nested ViewContents projections, replacement and close semantics, and the DAT-authored gmExternalContainerUI strip for chests and corpses.
Route double-click loot and full or partial drag transfers through the shared retail item policy without optimistic external ownership. Remove the incorrect NoLongerViewingContents behavior from owned side packs and retire AP-106/#196.
Release build succeeds and all 5,875 tests pass with five intentional skips.

Route accepted Hidden and UnHide transitions through retail's internal typed-script path so their DAT scripts queue while the owner is cell-less and resume at the destination. Consume ACE's successful teleport control statuses silently, matching retail HandleFailureEvent.
Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com>
Complete the retail cast-intent, target, component, enchantment, and busy-state paths; mount the DAT-authored spell bar, spellbook, component book, effects panels, and shared panel lifecycle; and add scoped input plus conformance coverage.

Preserve PlayerDescription inventory/equipment ownership across authoritative manifest replacement, make weapon switching and combat/UI consumers read the same canonical object state, and carry the complete outbound player position frame across landblocks.
Route target-facing and mouse-look through the shared MovementManager and MotionInterpreter completion owner. Match retail input aggregation, toggle ordering, turn/sidestep remapping, per-axis hold keys, and synchronous movement publication without render-only heading state.
Initialize the live streaming origin from the first accepted canonical player Position, defer other projections until that origin exists, and retain logical entity identity through hydration.
Advance the project ledger from completed M2 to active M3, synchronize CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md and durable memory, and record the next cast-lifecycle, spellbook/enchantment, and two-client portal gates.

Replace the single mutable confirmation service with retail's property-backed DialogFactory model: fresh DAT roots, context ids, queue groups, priority preemption, callback/close-notice ordering, and context cancellation. Route /die, server confirmation aborts, and guarded item use through focused semantic owners.

Expand the typed client-command boundary across travel, character queries, local UI and layout controls, AFK and consent, emotes, friends, squelch and filters, and fill-components. Preserve retail packet layouts and queue ownership, import the confirmation dialog, and keep authoritative social state in Core.

Project PlayerDescription equipment through the same contained-by-wielder ownership and ordered contents index as live WieldObject updates. Preserve equip masks and priorities so retail GetObjectAtLocation selects Missile for an already-equipped crossbow instead of sending a server-rejected Melee request.

Lands the codex-worktree D.2b stream plus the extraction the 2026-07-02
UI architecture review mandated before commit:
- ItemInteractionController: single owner of double-click use/equip/
container-open, targeted-use mode (health kits), drag-out drop;
toolbar shortcut drags don't drop the real item. ItemEquipRules for
multi-slot (coat) coverage via equip masks.
- Cursor phase: CursorFeedbackController (semantic priority chain:
drag > resize > window-move > target-mode > text) + RetailCursorCatalog
(enums 0x27/0x28/0x29, hotspot 14,14; ClientUISystem::UpdateCursorState
0x00564630) resolved through the portal EnumIDMap chain by
RetailCursorResolver; RetailCursorManager applies dat cursor art to the
OS cursor. Register row AP-72 covers the OS standard-cursor fallback.
- Character window goes live: CharacterSheetProvider owns sheet assembly,
XP-curve/raise-cost math and the raise flow — extracted out of
GameWindow per Code Structure Rule 1 instead of committing the ~430-line
feature body there. Optimistic XP/credit debits go through eventful
store APIs (new ClientObjectTable.UpdateInt64Property +
LocalPlayerState.DebitIntProperty/DebitInt64Property) instead of raw
property-dictionary writes; register row AP-73 covers the still-missing
raise ledger (#163).
- RetailWindowFrame: the shared nine-slice window mount recipe; the
character window uses it, remaining windows migrate via #164.
- Status-bar buttons toggle inventory/character windows; retail row-major
backpack ordering; WorldSession.SendUseWithTarget + raise/train sends.
GameWindow shrinks 14,214 -> 13,877 lines despite the new features; the
sheet/raise logic is unit-tested in CharacterSheetProviderTests instead
of trapped in the god object. Build green; full suite 3,286 tests pass.

Mirrors the InventoryPutObjInContainer 0x0022 handler which already does
MoveItem + ConfirmMove. Without this, WieldItemOptimistic's pending snapshot
would linger until the session ended (or incorrectly roll back on 0x00A0).
ConfirmMove is a no-op when nothing is pending, so safe for server-initiated
login wields.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add the 3 tests the spec-compliance review flagged: 0x0022 ConfirmMove clears
the pending move (no rollback after a confirm); OnDragOver advisory-accepts a
closed bag (cap>0, contents not indexed = AP-61); App-level drop -> RollbackMove
reverts the optimistic move to the original container+slot. Production code was
already correct; these exercise the spec's test plan.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Register four previously-unwired GameEvent handlers after InventoryPutObjInContainer:
- ViewContents (0x0196): iterates ParseViewContents entries and calls
items.RecordMembership(entry.Guid, containerId) for each — so the
object table is correct before the container-open UI mounts.
- InventoryPutObjectIn3D (0x019A): calls items.MoveItem(guid, 0u) to
unparent a dropped item from its container (it's now a ground object).
- InventoryServerSaveFailed (0x00A0): parse + log; rollback behavior
deferred to B-Drag (acdream has no speculative moves yet).
- CloseGroundContainer (0x0052): parse + log; no table change needed
(the container-open view is UI-only).
Two dispatcher tests cover ViewContents membership and Put3D unparenting.

Add optional Func<uint>? playerGuid parameter (last in WireAll signature so all
existing callers compile unchanged). When provided, the PD handler calls
items.UpsertProperties(playerGuid(), p.Value.Properties) immediately after the
null-guard, landing EncumbranceVal (PropertyInt 5) and other player stats into the
player ClientObject. Upsert (create-if-absent) handles PD arriving before the
player's CreateObject. Retires AP-48/AP-49 divergence rows (wired in Task 16).

The old seeding block set WeenieClassId = inv.ContainerType (a 0/1/2
container-kind discriminator, not a weenie class id) and used MoveItem
for the equipped block. Replace both loops with RecordMembership calls:
inventory guids get a bare stub (WeenieClassId stays 0); equipped guids
get the equip slot set directly. Weenie data arrives via CreateObject /
ObjectTableWiring, not PlayerDescription.
New test PlayerDescription_SeedsMembership_NotWeenieClassIdMisuse proves:
(a) inv guid is registered, (b) WeenieClassId==0 not ContainerType, and
(c) equipped guid CurrentlyEquippedLocation is set to MeleeWeapon.
No existing tests pinned the old behavior; all 15 GameEventWiringTests pass.

Broaden naming to the data side of every server object (retail weenie_object_table
shape). Pure rename; no behavior change.

Add optional `onShortcuts` callback to `GameEventWiring.WireAll`; invoke
it with `parsed.Shortcuts` after the inventory/equipped loops in the
PlayerDescription handler. `GameWindow` holds the list in a new
`Shortcuts` property (initialized to empty) so the toolbar (D.5.1 Task 5)
can read hotbar slots without keeping a parser reference. Existing callers
compile unchanged — the parameter defaults to null.

After PlayerDescription is dispatched, the Inventory and Equipped lists
produced by the parser are now fed into ItemRepository via AddOrUpdate +
MoveItem so inventory/paperdoll panels see items after login.
Acceptance test PlayerDescription_RegistersInventoryEntries_InItemRepository
confirms ItemCount goes 0→2 for a synthetic PD with two inventory entries.
282 Net.Tests pass.

Files four new issues created by the 2026-04-25 PDB-discovery sprint:
#8 (DONE 2026-04-25) — pdb-extract tool, shipped 69d884a#9 (OPEN) — function-map address-correction sweep
(Phase E will close)
#10 (DONE 2026-04-25) — wire KillerNotification (0x01AD); orphan
parser at GameEvents.ParseKillerNotification
existed but was never registered. This commit
adds CombatState.OnKillerNotification +
KillLanded event, registers the dispatcher
handler, and adds a regression test.
#11 (OPEN) — spell metadata loader (spells.csv → SpellTable)
(Phase F will close)
Code change is minimal — three lines of dispatch + a 12-line
CombatState method with a typed event for future killfeed UI.
818 tests passing (+1 KillerNotification).

Visual-verified — Vitals window now shows three bars (HP/Stam/Mana)
with live values. Closes ISSUES.md #5; ~95% reading on Stam/Mana
traced to active buff multipliers, filed as #6.
Why the rewrite
The first attempt (commit d42bf57) routed PlayerDescription (0x0013)
through AppraiseInfoParser, trusting a misleading xmldoc claim.
Live diagnostics proved the format is wrong — ACE source
(GameEventPlayerDescription.WriteEventBody) hand-writes a body
distinct from IdentifyObjectResponse's AppraiseInfo: property
hashtables gated on DescriptionPropertyFlag, vector-flag-gated
attribute / skill / spell blocks, then a long options + inventory
trailer. Vitals only arrive via the attribute block at login.
Holtburger's events.rs:220-625 has the canonical client-side
unpacker; this commit ports the early-section walker through spells.
What landed
PlayerDescriptionParser.cs (new — 350 LOC):
Walks propertyFlags + weenieType, then property hashtables
(Int32/Int64/Bool/Double/String/Did/Iid) + Position table —
each gated on a property flag bit, header is `u16 count, u16
buckets`. Then vectorFlags + has_health + the attribute block
(primary attrs 1..6 = 12 B each, vitals 7..9 = 16 B with
`current`), then optional Skill + Spell tables. Stops cleanly
before the options/shortcuts/hotbars/inventory trailer (filed
as #7 — heuristic alignment search needed for gameplay_options).
PrivateUpdateVital.cs (new — 95 LOC):
Wire parsers for the GameMessage opcodes 0x02E7 (full snapshot)
and 0x02E9 (current-only delta), per holtburger UpdateVital +
UpdateVitalCurrent. WorldSession dispatches each to a session-
level event the GameWindow forwards into LocalPlayerState.
LocalPlayerState (full redesign):
VitalKind (Health/Stamina/Mana) + AttributeKind (six primary).
VitalSnapshot stores ranks/start/xp/current; AttributeSnapshot
stores ranks/start/xp with `Current = ranks+start` per
holtburger. GetMaxApprox computes the retail formula
vital.(ranks+start) + attribute_contribution
where the contribution is hardcoded from retail's
SecondaryAttributeTable: Endurance/2 for Health, Endurance for
Stamina, Self for Mana. Enchantment buffs not yet folded in
(filed as #6). VitalIdToKind now accepts both ID systems
(1..6 wire, 7..9 PD attribute block); AttributeIdToKind covers
primary attrs 1..6.
GameEventWiring:
PlayerDescription handler. Walks parsed.Attributes, routes
primary attrs (id 1..6) to OnAttributeUpdate and vitals
(id 7..9) to OnVitalUpdate. Player's full learned spellbook
also lands here. ACDREAM_DUMP_VITALS=1 traces every PD attribute
+ every PrivateUpdateVital(Current) opcode for diagnostics.
WorldSession:
Dispatch chain re-ordered — the diagnostic else-if for
ACDREAM_DUMP_OPCODES=1 was originally placed before
GameEventEnvelope.Opcode, which silently intercepted 0xF7B0 and
broke UpdateHealth dispatch when the env var was set. Moved to
the very end of the chain so it only fires for genuinely
unhandled opcodes. (Diagnostic-only regression; production
launches without the env var were unaffected.)
Test deltas
Added:
- PlayerDescriptionParserTests (6 — empty header, full attribute
block, partial flags, post-property-table walk, spell table)
- PrivateUpdateVitalTests (7 — fixture round-trip, vital ID
coverage, opcode rejection, truncation)
- LocalPlayerStateTests rewritten (20 — VitalIdToKind +
AttributeIdToKind theories, Endurance/Self formula coverage,
delta semantics, change events)
- GameEventWiringTests for PlayerDescription dispatch (2 —
end-to-end populate + spellbook feed)
Updated:
- VitalsVMTests rephrased onto the new OnVitalUpdate API.
Total: 765 → 817 tests passing.
Diagnostics
ACDREAM_DUMP_VITALS=1 — log every PD attribute extracted,
every 0x02E7/0x02E9 dispatch.
ACDREAM_DUMP_OPCODES=1 — log first occurrence of any unhandled
GameMessage opcode (now correctly placed at end of chain).
Visual verify
$env:ACDREAM_DEVTOOLS = "1"
dotnet run --project src\AcDream.App\AcDream.App.csproj -c Debug
Vitals window shows three bars; HP at 100%, Stam/Mana at ~95%
(the gap is buff enchantments — filed as #6 with the holtburger
multiplier+additive aggregator pattern as the reference for the
fix).

Closes ISSUES.md #5. The Vitals devtools window now draws three bars
(HP / Stamina / Mana) once the server sends the first PlayerDescription
(0x0013), instead of HP only. Built test-first per CLAUDE.md TDD rule —
16 new tests went red before the implementation went in.
New AcDream.Core.Player.LocalPlayerState (cache):
- {CurrentStamina, MaxStamina, CurrentMana, MaxMana} as uint? — null
until first received.
- StaminaPercent / ManaPercent: 0..1 fraction or null when either
field is missing or max is zero. Clamps to 1.0 if current > max
(server can briefly report this during buff transitions).
- OnPlayerDescription preserves any previously known good value when
an incoming field is null — partial profiles don't wipe state.
- Changed event for future subscribers.
GameEventWiring.WireAll:
- New optional 6th parameter: LocalPlayerState? localPlayer = null.
Existing 5-arg call sites still work; without the parameter the new
PlayerDescription handler still parses + feeds the spellbook but
skips the cache update.
- PlayerDescription (0x0013) shares AppraiseInfo wire format with
IdentifyObjectResponse (0x00C9) per AppraiseInfoParser docstring,
so the new handler reuses the existing parser and pulls
CreatureProfile.{Stamina, StaminaMax, Mana, ManaMax}.
- Player's full learned spellbook also lands here (previously only
item-scoped Identify responses fed the spellbook).
VitalsVM:
- Constructor adds optional LocalPlayerState? parameter (default null
keeps every existing caller compiling).
- StaminaPercent / ManaPercent now read through to LocalPlayerState
every access — no VM-side caching, so a server-side delta to the
cache surfaces next frame without any explicit refresh.
GameWindow:
- Public readonly LocalPlayer field alongside Combat / Chat / Items /
SpellBook so plugins + future panels can bind directly.
- WireAll call updated to pass LocalPlayer.
- VitalsVM construction passes LocalPlayer so the existing
VitalsPanel automatically picks up the two new bars.
Test counts:
- AcDream.Core.Tests: 550 → 561 (+11 LocalPlayerStateTests)
- AcDream.UI.Abstractions.Tests: 23 → 26 (+3 VitalsVM through-cache)
- AcDream.Core.Net.Tests: 192 → 194 (+2 PlayerDescription wiring)
- Total: 765 → 781
Build: 0 warnings, 0 errors.

Central registration helper that wires every parsed GameEvent from the
Phase F.1 dispatcher into the appropriate Core state class:
- ChannelBroadcast / Tell / CommunicationTransientString / PopupString
→ ChatLog (H.1)
- UpdateHealth / Victim / Defender / Attacker / EvasionAttacker /
EvasionDefender / AttackDone → CombatState (E.4)
- MagicUpdateSpell / MagicRemoveSpell / MagicUpdateEnchantment /
MagicRemoveEnchantment / MagicDispelEnchantment /
MagicPurgeEnchantments → Spellbook (E.5)
- WieldObject / InventoryPutObjInContainer → ItemRepository (F.2)
This is the piece that makes the dispatcher go from "thing that routes
opcodes" to "thing that populates state the UI can redraw from". Before
this, every handler had to be wired at each call site; now one call
at startup (or per-reconnect) does the whole map.
Project graph: added AcDream.Core.Net → AcDream.Core ProjectReference
so the wiring can see both the dispatcher (Net) and the state classes
(Core). Net's own tests already pull in Core indirectly, so test scope
is unchanged.
Tests (6 new, in Core.Net.Tests): verify round-trip via the actual
dispatcher. Build envelope → dispatch → assert the correct Core state
change. Covers ChannelBroadcast, UpdateHealth, MagicUpdateSpell,
WieldObject, PopupString, MagicPurgeEnchantments.
Build green, 602 tests pass (up from 596).
