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.

Implements Task 5 of the LayoutDesc Importer (Plan 1 — vitals conformance).
Pure layer (BuildFromInfos / Build):
- ImportedLayout result type: UiElement root + O(1) FindElement(uint id) lookup
- BuildWidget dispatches via DatWidgetFactory.Create; skips Type-12 prototypes (null)
- Meters consume their children (DatWidgetFactory already extracted slice ids —
adding the dat children as UiElement nodes would duplicate geometry)
- All other element types recurse children generically via AddChild
Dat shell (Import):
- Loads LayoutDesc from dats; null-safe if layout is absent
- Resolves each top-level ElementDesc to ElementInfo via Resolve():
BaseElement/BaseLayoutId chain with (layoutId,elementId) cycle guard
- ToInfo(): reads ElementDesc scalar fields (uint → float cast) + DirectState +
named States (UIStateId.ToString() as key)
- ReadState(): extracts first MediaDescImage (File + DrawMode) per state +
font DID from Properties[0x1A] → ArrayBaseProperty → DataIdBaseProperty.Value
- Each sibling element gets a fresh base-chain set (siblings don't share guards)
DRW API: all members confirmed from VitalsLayoutDump.cs usings — no
adjustments needed: LayoutDesc in DBObjs; ElementDesc/StateDesc/MediaDescImage/
ArrayBaseProperty/DataIdBaseProperty in Types; DrawModeType/UIStateId in Enums.
Tests (3/3 green):
- BuildFromInfos_HealthMeter_IsUiMeterAtRect — Type-7 child → UiMeter, Left=5, Width=150
- BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present — prototype absent, container present
- BuildFromInfos_MeterWithChildren_MeterPresent_ChildrenNotInTree — meter findable,
both dat-children absent, UiMeter.Children empty
