machine + UiText per-state string swap (user retail gate)
The state side already worked (FriendsState replaces the full entry and
bumps Revision on 0x0021 OnlineStatus updates; the parser reads full
FriendData for every update type). The UI side had two gaps, exposed by
the installed-DAT row-template probe (template layout 0x2100005D root
0x10000519):
- The row authors TWO cells: the LEFT name text 0x1000051A whose
Online (0x10000054) / Offline (0x10000055) PassToChildren states
cascade into the RIGHT status grandchild 0x1000051F, which authors
per-state 'Online'/'Offline' strings AND per-state colors (retail's
green Online). The controller's FindDeepest binding wrote the NAME
into the STATUS cell (the deepest text IS the status grandchild) and
never flipped the state machine - so the status column never showed
or updated anything.
- UiText had no per-state authored-string swap: ApplyDatState switched
sprite + color per state but never the 0x17 string. Ported now
(second consumer of the mechanism after the powerbar caption):
DatWidgetFactory pre-resolves each state's authored string;
TrySetRetailState swaps the line, colored by the SAME state's
authored 0x1B.
SocialFriendsPageController now binds the name to its own cell and
flips the authored Online/Offline state per friend on every
Revision-driven rebuild - the cascade renders the status cell exactly
as retail's gmFriendsUI does, green Online included.
App suite 4,989/3 skips (new per-state swap conformance test).

One user-ordered batch across the FA social panel + world selection.
Every root cause was probe-proven before the fix (new
ProbeSocialClickRouting in SocialPanelLiveMountProbeTests - production
window mount + real UiRoot hit-tests + a synthetic click):
1. STUCK CHECKBOXES (fellowship x4, allegiance x1, "always checked /
can't change any options"): the authored checkboxes carry DAT
ToggleBehavior, so UiButton SELF-FLIPS Selected at MouseUp - the old
handlers read the flipped value and wrote the ORIGINAL back, snapping
every click to where it started (the probe recorded (id, oldValue)).
Fix: SuppressSelfToggle (the CH6a/b mirror discipline) + derive the
next value from the STORE; the per-tick seeding mirrors it back.
2. UNCLICKABLE ROSTER ROWS ("only get the move window cursor"): the row
name text is display-text ClickThrough=true, which the hit-test walk
skips regardless of HandlesClick - the wired OnClick was unreachable.
Fix: UiText.OnClick assignment now clears ClickThrough (central,
documented); the stats text gains the same select handler so most of
the row's width selects the fellow.
3. TRUNCATED EMPTY-STATE ("You do not belong... To create MISSING"):
the authored string resolves COMPLETE (three sentences) but embedded
'\n's rendered as one clipped line. DatWidgetFactory now splits
authored strings into one Line per newline, with the provider still
re-reading DefaultColor live (the state-color contract - caught by
BuildText_AuthoredLineTracksStateFontColor).
4. FELLOW NAMES WHITE (user-directed): the AD-82 invented leader-gold +
selection-blue tints are deleted; names always white (register row
narrowed).
5. ALLEGIANCE HEADER LABELS: bare "0"/"0" -> "Followers: N" / "Rank: [N]"
(user-specified format; the full retail StringInfo composition stays
AD-85's gap), monarch block matching.
6. FRIENDS/SQUELCH LIVE (AD-79 mostly retired): Add friend (name box ->
0x0018, retail clears the box - Request_AddFriend @0x0048D240),
Remove (row-click selection -> 0x0017), Appear Offline (CharacterOption
0x27 via the immediate 0x0005 auto-save, ACE pushes FriendStatusChanged
to your friend-of list), Squelch Character/Account add-by-name
(0x0058 guid0/type AllChannels + 0x0059) and Remove for the selected
row. The wire beneath (builders, WorldSession sends, Runtime commands,
parsers) existed end-to-end since J4.1/FA1 - this is panel wiring only
(docs/research/2026-08-13-social-wire-completion.md, committed here).
Send Tell stays inert (not in the order; AD-79's remainder).
7. WORLD SELF-SELECTION ("clicking my own char should select myself"):
retail has NO self-exclusion (CPhysicsPart::Draw @0x0050D823 arms
every physobj; RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @0x004E5BAE selects
unconditionally) - the includeSelf gate was an unregistered
divergence, now removed on both the left-click and right-click paths.
Element roles were probe-measured, never guessed (Add 0x10000514 /
Remove 0x10000515 / Send Tell 0x10000516 / Appear Offline 0x1000052C /
name field 0x1000051B; Squelch: field 0x10000540, Remove 0x10000547,
Squelch Character 0x1000054B, Squelch Account 0x1000054C).
Register: AD-79 mostly retired, AD-82 narrowed. Known remainder, filed
not hidden: the fellowship page's authored 600px content vs the 362px
viewport leaves Dismiss/Assign-Leader below the fold until the window is
resized taller (probe-measured; candidate follow-up).
Tests: Checkbox_Click fact rewritten to the mirror contract (both
directions), monarch-followers label updated, includeSelf expectation
updated, probe extended (click routing, synthetic click, action-widget
role dump). App suite 4,976/3 skips.

Roster: SocialFellowshipPageController now builds one row per fellow
from the authored template (0x21000030/0x10000281, live-DAT verified),
diffing the member GUID set on each revision-gated Tick -- an unchanged
set updates every row's bound widgets in place (no ListBox mutation, so
scroll position is untouched by construction); only a real join/leave/
disband triggers a rebuild, via UiTemplateListBox.FlushPreservingScroll
(FA3 carry-forward 1, both the widget-level fix and the controller-level
diff). Health/stamina/mana meters bind Fill+Label; the leader's name
tints gold (lane A's row template has no dedicated leader marker, so
this is a flagged adaptation, not a ported mechanism). Row-click
selection (SelectFellow) drives Dismiss/Leader targeting and the world
selection (SelectionChangeSource.Social).
D4: SocialPanelController now tracks "is the social window shown AND is
Fellowship the active tab" via UiTabPanel.ActivePageChanged +
OnShown/OnHidden, and calls SetPageVisible on every transition, which
sends 0x00A6 (idempotent, no-op while disconnected) -- the prerequisite
ACE gates its 0x02C0 vitals stream on.
Create flow: the inline name field (0x1000026F, an authored Editable
UiField -- live-DAT verified) gates the Create button's enabled state
exactly like retail (empty name = disabled = the whole refusal
mechanism, no separate error text); FellowshipShareXP's live value is
read at click time.
Actions + confirmations: Recruit/Dismiss/Quit/Disband/AssignLeader/
SetOpen all route through DeferredGameRuntimeStateCommands (new
Fellowship* methods) rather than a raw WorldSession send, so Quit
correctly picks up RuntimeFellowshipState's leader hand-off rule.
Button enable states port gmFellowshipUI::UpdateButtons verbatim. The
Open/Close button's caption swaps between the two DAT-resolved strings
cached once at Bind (never per-tick -- DatCollection is not safe to
touch unprotected from the render loop). RetailUiRuntime intercepts a
type-4 confirmation request before it reaches the generic
GameplayConfirmationController: IgnoreFellowshipRequests auto-declines,
FellowshipAutoAcceptRequests auto-accepts, neither set falls through to
the existing dialog machinery unchanged (D6).
D5 display: the per-fellow stats line uses retail's byte-decoded
even-split percentage table verbatim (1.0/.../.3111111/.28, default
0.0); the proportional branch omits the percentage rather than
inventing a formula (no acdream ExperienceToRaiseLevel table exists
yet). Both StringInfo variable substitution (row/stats/vitals text) and
ACCharGenData::FormatName (create-flow name canonicalization) are
unported prerequisites, so row text renders as plain numeric composites
-- register rows AD-80/AD-81 (docs commit).
D7: un-dims IgnoreFellowshipRequests/FellowshipAutoAcceptRequests
(consumed by the D6 auto-decline/accept) and FellowshipShareXP/
FellowshipShareLoot (consumed by Create + the page's own second
checkbox surface) on the Character tab -- 4 of 35 store-only rows
promoted to Live (31 remain dimmed).
Carry-forwards from the FA3 re-review, folded into this slice's
contract:
- UiTemplateListBox.FlushPreservingScroll -- preserves scroll offset
across a rebuild instead of resetting to 0 (Flush's existing
contract, unchanged, for Friends/Squelch).
- RowTemplateResolver -- the FA3 caching row-template resolver
extracted from a MountSocialPanel local function into its own
hermetically-testable class; now shared by Friends/Squelch/
Fellowship's row families.
- Friends/Squelch scrollbars now resolve via the built
UiTemplateListBox.ScrollbarElementId (DAT property 0x72) instead of
a hardcoded literal, matching ConfigOptionsPageController's own OP6
precedent.
- The Fellowship roster path never advances its revision latch on a
partial resolver failure until the NEXT real membership change --
never a per-frame retry loop.
Live-DAT verified (ACDREAM_PROBE_LIVE_MOUNT=1, extended
SocialPanelLiveMountProbeTests): the name field builds as UiField, all
11 buttons/checkboxes resolve, the row template's 5 checked fields
resolve to the right widget types, every checkbox label/tooltip and the
Open/Close captions resolve to real retail strings ("Open"/"Close"),
and a full production-path Bind() against live DATs produces zero
"not found" warnings.
App tests: +30 (7 UiTemplateListBox/RowTemplateResolver unit tests, 23
SocialFellowshipPageControllerTests covering roster diff/rebuild,
button enable rules, checkbox wiring, create-flow gating, D4
idempotency, and D5 formatting) plus 2 CharacterOptionsPageController
counts updated for the D7 un-dim (35->31 dimmed, 15->19 live).

Campaign FA slice FA3 dual-lens review fix round.
Blast MUST-FIX 1: SocialFriendsPageController/SocialSquelchPageController
never wired their ListBox's own sibling scrollbar (Friends
0x10000517->0x10000518, Squelch 0x1000053E->0x10000543) — the two lists
had NO scroll driver at all (no wheel fallback exists on
UiScrollablePanel), making any roster past the visible extent completely
unreachable, not just awkward to scroll. Both controllers now wire
`scrollbar.Model = listBox.Scroll` scoped to their own page root, exactly
like the four existing UiTemplateListBox consumers
(Character/Chat/Config/KeyboardConfig). New tests prove the wiring AND
that a >panel-height roster is actually reachable through it.
Blast SHOULD-FIX 2/3: the Friends/Squelch resolver re-ran
LayoutImporter.ImportInfos (a full DAT tree walk) under the shared DAT
lock on EVERY row, every revision, even while the panel was closed —
RetailUiRuntime.MountSocialPanel's TemplateResolver now caches each row
template's ElementInfo the first time it is resolved and never
re-Imports for that template id again. SocialPanelController additionally
gates the Friends/Squelch Tick-driven rebuild on the panel's own
visibility via the (previously unused) IRetainedPanelController
OnShown/OnHidden hooks, so no DAT-locked rebuild work runs at all while
the panel is closed. SocialFriendsPageController/SocialSquelchPageController
also now only advance _lastRevision after every row resolves — a
transient resolver miss no longer latches an empty roster until the next
server-side change; it retries on the next Tick instead.
Mechanism SHOULD-FIX 8: SocialPanelController.Tick() now returns early
once disposed, matching every other J-slice teardown discipline (it was
being ticked unconditionally forever since RetailUiRuntime never nulls
the field).
Mechanism SHOULD-FIX 1: IsShowingAllegiance's doc claimed the F3/F4
close-on-second-press semantics were "retail's Toggle-action semantics" —
re-derived and confirmed NO retail OnAction consumer exists for either
action anywhere in the binary. Relabeled as acdream's own
OpenSpellbook-precedent convention; no register row added, following the
same no-row precedent OpenSpellbook and every other non-toolbar Toggle
panel already sets. Unknown filed as U11 in the panel-structure research
doc's §8 table.
Tests: 5 new (2 scrollbar-wiring pins, 2 long-roster-reachable-via-
scrollbar, 1 hidden-panel-does-not-rebuild/shown-panel-catches-up); 2
existing tests updated for the new visibility gate.

Campaign FA slice FA3: retail's four-tab social panel (LayoutDesc
0x2100006E slot 0x1000018F, RetailPanelCatalog id 12), built on the OP3
OptionsPanelController recipe -- Type-8 tab host, ActivateTabBehavior,
per-page scoped controllers.
- SocialPanelController mounts the tab host and wires the close button;
F3 (ToggleAllegiancePanel) and F4 (ToggleFellowshipPanel) open the
panel and switch to their own tab, sharing the same gmPanelUI
one-active-panel exclusivity every sibling main panel already has.
- The live-DAT tab table CORRECTS the coordinator addendum's x-order
guess: button 0x1000028C ("Allegiance") pairs with page 0x10000291 and
is the authored DEFAULT entry, not Friends -- each button's own page
id and its own P0x57 (matching the F3/F4 ActionMap ids on the
Allegiance/Fellowship pages specifically) both corroborate the real
pairing. See SocialPanelController's class doc for the full table.
- SocialFellowshipPageController swaps the two authored empty/full
frames (0x1000026B/0x10000275) on RuntimeFellowshipState's
IsInFellowship -- both frames' full containment (name box, create
button, checkboxes vs. roster list, six buttons) was confirmed by the
live-mount probe, so a single Visible toggle per frame is the whole
swap (closes lane-A unknown U6).
- SocialAllegiancePageController hides the monarch/patron blocks and
blanks their name text to a literal space when
RuntimeAllegianceState.Snapshot.HasProfile is false, using SCOPED
FindDescendant lookups (the panel authors 0x10000492 twice, once per
block).
- SocialFriendsPageController/SocialSquelchPageController bind their
ListBoxes read-only to RuntimeCommunicationState's existing J4.1
Friends/Squelch owners (names only), rebuilding on revision change.
Their action buttons are honest INERT (D1) -- register row AD-79.
- UiTemplateListBox gains Flush() (lane A/D's "Gap found" prerequisite)
so a poll-and-rebuild list can shrink between refreshes.
- RetailPanelCatalog.SocialPanel = 12, byte-verified from the live slot's
own P0x10000029; listed in Mounted only (no toolbar button -- lane A
§6.1: the open path is keyboard-only).
