Campaign OP slice OP9 code retirement (docs/plans/2026-08-10-options-panel-campaign.md
§OP9). The retail four-tab Options panel (OP1-OP8) is now acdream's one
in-client settings surface (D1) — this commit deletes the pre-retail-UI
surfaces it fully superseded. Pure retirement: no behavior change to
anything live, verified by dispositioning every one of the 15 src files
and 8 test files that referenced the deleted types before touching any
of them.
1. SettingsVM + SettingsPanel (the old F11 IPanel surface, unrendered
since Campaign V slice V11's ImGui deletion) deleted outright, plus
their two dedicated test files. IPanel/IPanelRenderer stay — ChatPanel/
DebugPanel/VitalsPanel still implement IPanel, so the contract does NOT
become unreferenced.
2. RuntimeSettingsController's SettingsVM binding seam deleted:
CreateViewModel, CreateViewModelBinding, RuntimeSettingsViewModelBinding,
the _viewModel field, UnbindViewModel, and every _viewModel? notification
call (ToggleFrameRate, LoadCharacterContext, RestoreDefaultCharacterContext,
SyncChatFromServerOptions). CreateViewModelBinding had zero production
callers (test-only). HasDraftPreview/DisplayPreview/AudioPreview stay on
IRuntimeSettingsPreviewSource (WorldRenderFrameBuilder and
SettingsParticleRangeSource still consume it) but now trivially mirror
the committed Display/Audio snapshot — HasDraftPreview was already
always false in production. GameWindowLifetime's matching
"settings view model" shutdown stage is deleted.
3. IDevToolsGameplayCommands + DevToolsGameplayCommands deleted from
GameplayInputCommandController.cs. All three members were dead:
ToggleSettingsPanel() had ZERO dispatch sites (ToggleOptionsPanel always
routed to _retained, never to _devTools); ToggleDebugPanel()/
FocusChatInput() had dispatch sites (F1/Ctrl+F1, Tab) but empty no-op
bodies (their ImGui DebugPanel/ChatPanel targets were already gone).
The two live dispatch sites are kept as inert `return true;` cases
(still consuming the key, matching the prior no-op's "handled"
contract) instead of falling through to a lower-priority scope.
SessionPlayerComposition.cs's `new DevToolsGameplayCommands()`
construction is removed. No `ToggleSettingsPanel` InputAction exists
(only `ToggleOptionsPanel`, rebound at OP3) — nothing to remove there
or from KeyBindings.RetailDefaults()/keymap fixtures.
4. GameplaySettings deleted entirely (the type, SettingsStore's
LoadGameplay/SaveGameplay/BuildGameplayObject, RuntimeSettingsController's
Gameplay property/SetAcceptLootPermits). Verified all 13 remaining
members (ToggleRun, AdvancedCombatUI, ShowTooltips,
VividTargetingIndicator, SideBySideVitals, CoordinatesOnRadar,
SpellDuration, AllowGive, ShowHelm, ShowCloak, LockUI, UseMouseTurning,
AcceptLootPermits — the three combat ones already died at OP4/AP-196)
were ALREADY bound through CharacterOptionTable/
CharacterOptionsPageController's server-bit seam at OP4 before deleting
the client-local mirror — no (c)-case genuinely-client-local member
was found; disposition (b) covers 100% of the surface. SetUiLocked
rewritten to compare only against the last value actually pushed to
_runtimeTargets (MUST-FIX 4's guard), with no second store left to
read or write. LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's SetAcceptLootPermits binding
now sends the wire option only (the GameplaySettings write-behind call
removed as dead output). CharacterSettings/DisplaySettings/
AudioSettings/ChatSettings and their SettingsStore Load/Save surfaces
are UNTOUCHED per the campaign contract.
Per-file disposition (15 src + 8 test files that referenced
GameplaySettings before this commit):
- GameplaySettings.cs, SettingsVM.cs, SettingsPanel.cs: the types
themselves — deleted.
- SettingsStore.cs, RuntimeSettingsController.cs,
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory.cs: real usage — API deleted/rewritten.
- RetailUiRuntime.cs, InteractionRetainedUiComposition.cs,
SessionPlayerComposition.cs, CombatUiController.cs,
LiveCombatAttackOperations.cs, LivePresentationComposition.cs,
FrameRootComposition.cs, RuntimeCharacterState.cs,
CombatCameraTargetSource.cs: doc-comment-only or interface-name
substring matches (ICombatGameplaySettingsSource) — left as accurate
historical record, no forward reference to the deleted type.
- Tests: RuntimeSettingsControllerTests.cs and SettingsStoreTests.cs
rewritten (Gameplay-specific tests deleted; SaveDisplay/SaveAudio/
SaveChat tests re-targeted off the now-public methods instead of the
retired SettingsVM draft/Save() indirection); GameplaySettingsTests.cs/
SettingsVMTests.cs/SettingsPanelTests.cs deleted; the remaining three
(CharacterOptionCombatSettingsSourceTests.cs,
CombatCameraTargetSourceTests.cs, LiveCombatAttackOperationsTests.cs)
were comment/interface-name-only, untouched.
5. Register: AP-196 (OP4's partial GameplaySettings retirement, which left
five fields as write-behind mirrors) is fully retired now that the
record is gone outright — marked ~~AP-196~~ RETIRED with its retirement
note, active-row count 143 -> 142. No other row cited the deleted types
directly (AP-194/AP-193 cite CharacterOptionTable.cs, not
GameplaySettings.cs).
6. Settings.json migration honesty: SettingsStore no longer reads or
writes the "gameplay" top-level key, so an existing file carrying one
from a pre-OP9 build is neither parsed nor dropped — the existing
SaveSection raw-JSON-text preservation mechanism (unknown top-level
keys survive every subsequent save) carries it forward untouched.
Two new targeted tests
(LeftoverGameplaySection_FromAnOlderSettingsJson_DoesNotBreakOtherLoads,
LeftoverGameplaySection_SurvivesAnUnrelatedSave) pin this.
InputAction.ToggleOptionsPanel's stale doc comment (still describing the
retired ImGui SettingsPanel) and a handful of other dangling doc
references (DisplaySettings.cs, ChatOpacityLink.cs,
SettingsDevToolsComposition.cs, InputDispatcherCaptureTests.cs) are
reworded to point at the current retail Options panel / OP8
KeyboardConfigController.
Build: dotnet build -c Release green, 0 errors. Tests: dotnet test -c
Release --no-build — 13,075 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (13,079 total),
down from the stated baseline of 13,155 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(13,159 total) — the -80 delta is exactly the deleted SettingsVM/
SettingsPanel/GameplaySettings test surface (three whole files plus the
Gameplay-specific cases trimmed from RuntimeSettingsControllerTests.cs/
SettingsStoreTests.cs), with zero regressions elsewhere.

Brings b4edee97 (slice), b1968ce9 (M1/M2/M3 rework), f1d50207 (round-2
residuals). Review chain: REJECT -> rework -> REOPEN-narrow -> coordinator
third round; findings docs 2026-08-11-op8-review.md / -op8-rereview.md.
The merge lands OP8's six ListBoxes on top of 057d8cd7's #372 viewport
fix, which auto-heals the blank-pages hazard the re-review flagged — the
OP8 connected gate was contracted to run post-merge for exactly this.

R1 (code half): store-only rows (MappedAction null) are excluded from the
conflict universe — they never reach the InputDispatcher, so a chord they
display cannot collide; counting them made the ten Camera Alternate
arrow-key defaults trip a false N-way confirm on any arrow rebind. Mapped
cross-context sharing (retail's ConflictingMaps — the combat cluster)
remains deferred as ISSUES #373 with the OP8 gate script now carrying the
explicit do-not-file warning. SHOULD: unmapped rows with no persisted
chords display their DAT defaults (retail shows the arrow keys; blank
read as 'unbound') — display-only, the store is untouched until the row
itself is edited; the independence test updated to pin the new display
semantics while keeping its storage-isolation asserts. Injectivity of
RetailActionIdentityTable is now test-enforced (load-bearing for both M1's
per-row activation capture and M2's de-alias). R2: AP-203 addendum names
the ten same-verb-sibling-live rows and the conflict exclusion.
Full Release suite in this worktree: 13,155 passed / 4 skips / 0 failed.

The 13 ID_ChatOption_TextFilter_* labels (and their _Desc tooltips) live
in string table 0x2300000D, not the 0x23000003 options table the section
headers and slider labels use. Dat-verified: the targeted sweep missed
(0x23000001-0A), the control key resolved ('Auto Target' — machinery
fine), and the exhaustive all-tables sweep (ProbeFilterLabelHome, now a
permanent env-gated probe) hit exactly once: 0x2300000D -> 'Combat'. The
initializer decomp confirms the hash KEYS are the symbol names verbatim
(the vftable-member operands at 0x006f04cd are the known pooled-string
artifact); only the research doc's table attribution was inferred rather
than dat-verified — corrected in §8.
All 13 rows now render their captions instead of the honest-fallback
blanks the first connected gate saw. Full Release suite green (one
Core.Net loss-simulation timing flake on the first run, green targeted
and on rerun).

ROOT CAUSE (proven, not guessed): the lazily-created row viewport was
constructed 0x0 with Left|Top|Right|Bottom fill-anchors. Its first
ApplyAnchor captured mR = parentW - (0+0) = parentW, so
ComputeAnchoredRect's l&&r branch (w = parentW - mR - mL) kept it 0x0
forever. A 0-tall viewport makes UiScrollablePanel.LayoutScrollableChildren
cull every row, so Character/Chat/Config rendered blank while Gameplay
(no viewport — authored static children sized at Build) worked. This is
the exact Gameplay-vs-rest split the user's first connected gate found.
FIX: seed the viewport to the ListBox's current extent at creation, so the
fill-anchor baseline is mR = parentW - parentW = 0 and the viewport tracks
the parent. The ListBox is a static dat child sized at Build, so its extent
is authored by the time the viewport is lazily created during Bind.
Dormancy preserved — the viewport is still created only on the first row.
Reproduced RED then GREEN by UiTemplateListBoxViewportTests (viewport fills;
rows stay visible after the anchor+cull layout pass) — the layout path the
whole fixture conformance suite structurally never drove, which is why
every OP2-OP6 test was green over a live-only blank-tab failure. Full
Release suite 13,131 / 4 skips / 0 failed.
Still owed (NOT fixed here, no evidence yet): the 'only Exit Game worked'
Gameplay-buttons observation needs a re-gate (two buttons are correctly
INERT; the other four have dialog/chat effects that may have gone
unnoticed); and the 13 ID_ChatOption_TextFilter_* labels fail to resolve
(blank captions, behaviour unaffected). See #372.

Fixes the three MUST-FIX findings from the 2026-08-11 combined dual-lens
review of commit b4edee97 (docs/research/2026-08-11-op8-review.md).
M1 — SetForAction destroyed ActivationType/InputScope on every write,
collapsing walk-mode's Hold, the three combat-scoped bindings, and
CameraInstantMouseLook's mouse chord the instant a row (including
Defaults, which touches all ~140 mapped rows at once) wrote back.
Widened the Bindings seam to carry the full Binding (chord + activation
+ scope), not a bare chord: KeyboardConfigController captures each
row's live Activation/Scope ONCE at build time (every multi-chord
action in KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() shares one pair across all its
bindings) and reapplies it on every write — rebind, Cancel/Revert, and
Defaults (which restores DAT-sourced KEYS only, never touches the
pair). New tests pin this across both Defaults and Cancel for a
Hold+MeleeCombat-scoped action.
M2 — InputMap 0x5 (CameraControls) and 0x6 (CameraAlternateControls)
aliased one InputAction each: both rows read/wrote the same live target,
so they showed identical stale chords, a rebind of one silently wiped
the other, and a row could conflict with its own twin. Building real
per-scheme dual-binding storage (or new InputAction members plus the
camera-dispatch code to consume them) is a feature, not a one-line fix.
Chose the third option: only ctx 0x5 — the scheme RetailDefaults()
actually has live support for — maps to InputAction; ctx 0x6 falls
through to the existing unmapped/store-only path (AP-203), fully
rendered, bindable, and persisted, honestly carrying no live effect.
This also retired 10 stale allowlist entries in the DAT-vs-
RetailDefaults() round-trip test: with the alias gone, ctx 0x5 alone
matches RetailDefaults() exactly for all twelve Camera actions.
M3 — the auto-reassign-on-conflict path was wired silent in production
(NotifyReassigned: _ => "") though the contract asked for a prompt and
retail confirms before overwriting (OpenOverwriteBindingDialog). Wired
a real confirm dialog through RetailDialogFactory.MakeConfirmation —
the same seam GameplayConfirmationController already uses — read
lazily since DialogFactory mounts after MountKeyboardConfig in
Initialize()'s order. Only reassigns on accept; decline leaves every
row untouched. AP-204 (which recorded the narrowing) is RETIRED; the
still-true OK/Cancel left-click-vs-right-click-release note moves to a
code comment (zero observable difference, doesn't warrant a register
row). Reverted the gate script's step 9 from documenting the silent
shape back to the real confirm-prompt behavior.
SHOULD-FIX addressed as one-liners in files already touched:
- S1: non-user-bindable conflicts are now checked BEFORE any row
conflict (retail's own order), and ALL conflicting rows are collected
(N-way), not just the first match.
- S3: Save wraps the file-write pair in the same try/catch
RuntimeKeyBindingTarget.Apply already uses for keybinds.json.
- S4: assigning "Mapping 3" on a row with no existing bindings now
lands on display index 2, not index 0 — ReplaceSlotValue trims only
TRAILING empty slots instead of stripping every default(KeyChord).
Right-click on an already-empty slot is now a no-op instead of
shifting later bindings.
- S6: UiButton.OnRightClick returns false (unhandled, bubbles to
parent) when no handler is set, disabled or not — matching the
pre-existing behavior the class doc already claimed.
Left for a future pass (not one-liners): S2 (ActionMap.ConflictingMaps
is still unread — the conflict scan treats all 306 rows as one flat
universe instead of respecting the DAT's own legitimately-shared-key
table) and S5 (the ~330 DAT layout imports still run eagerly at mount
instead of lazily on first open).
19 KeyboardConfigControllerTests (was 12): +2 activation/scope
preservation (Defaults, Cancel), +1 camera de-alias, +2 confirm-dialog
accept/decline, +1 non-bindable-takes-priority-over-row-conflict, +1
sparse-row third-slot placement. Full solution suite 13,154 passed / 4
skipped / 0 failed (this round's baseline 13,147/4/0, zero regressions).

The user's first Campaign OP connected gate (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1, live
ACE) failed: Character/Chat/Config tabs render blank, only Exit Game of
the seven Gameplay buttons visibly acted. A live-DAT mount probe
(committed, env-gated) proves the panel BUILDS completely — root
UiTabPanel with a 4-entry tab table, all four page slots, all three page
ListBoxes as UiTemplateListBox with row templates, all seven buttons as
UiButton — and the three page controllers' Bind() run at mount. So the
defect is in the live render/input path the whole fixture suite never
exercises (mount -> ActivateTabs -> tab-click SwitchTo -> row draw /
button hit-test): the OP2-blast structural-false-negative class. Blocks
the OP3-OP6 gates; needs a dedicated debug slice + a gate-representative
test, not a guess.

Ports retail's Configure Keyboard screen (gmKeyboardUI, LayoutDesc
0x21000009) — its own separate full-screen window, not a fifth Options-
panel tab. Retires OP3's INERT contract for the Gameplay tab's Configure
Keyboard button (0x10000204).
DAT reader (src/AcDream.Core/Input/RetailActionMap.cs): reads the
ActionMap singleton (DID 0x26000000, empirically the only one — not
0x27000000 as GetDBOType's Turbine-internal tag would suggest) and both
MasterInputMap defaults (0x14000000 "gmDefaultMap"/0x14000002
"DefaultMap"), union-merged per (InputMapId, ActionId) — proven order-
independent since the two maps' one shared context (0x5) has disjoint
action-id sets. Empirically resolved three lane-D unknowns against the
live DAT: the six ActionClass values (1=Movement, 2=Camera, 3=UI,
4=Combat, 5=Emote, 7=CharacterSettings — 6 is genuinely absent), that
the six unnamed InputMaps are 100% non-bindable (render nothing, not an
unlabeled group), and that the enum-to-DID pairing for the two master
maps is inconsequential to the merge result.
Identity table (src/AcDream.UI.Abstractions/Input/RetailActionIdentityTable.cs):
maps DAT (InputMapId, ActionId) pairs to acdream's InputAction where a
live consumer exists (~140 of 306 user-bindable rows — Movement/Camera/
Combat map almost completely; UI/Quickslot/Chat partially; only 5 of 87
Emotes and none of 48 CharacterSettings hotkeys, since acdream has no
general emote player or hotkey-to-option-toggle dispatcher yet). Every
entry cross-verified by label match AND a DAT-default-vs-
KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() byte comparison (RetailActionIdentityRoundTripTests),
which caught a real off-by-one in the Quickslot 13-18 block before it
shipped and found three genuine pre-existing RetailDefaults() gaps
(walk-mode's Shift-echoed chord, ten CameraAlternateControls arrow-key
alternates, and the Quickslot Ctrl+N use-vs-select ambiguity) — none
introduced by this slice, all documented rather than silently patched.
KeyboardConfigController: six ActionClass list boxes built from the
DAT, merged with live KeyBindings for mapped rows (rebind applies
immediately through the same InputDispatcher every other input path
uses) and a new sibling RetailUnmappedKeyBindings store for rows with
no InputAction yet. Left-click a key button opens real InputDispatcher
modal capture; right-click erases that slot. N-way conflict detection
scans every other row plus the live KeyBindings table for acdream-only
actions (Ctrl+M mute, debug F-keys) as the non-user-bindable refusal
analogue, using retail's own byte-verified "Could not overwrite "
string (table 0x23000004). OK/Cancel/Defaults/Revert reuse the
OptionPage/IOptionRow verb model via a new ActionKeyMapOptionRow.
Persistence is keybinds.json only (D4 — no .keymap file interchange).
Five register rows: AP-202 (.keymap interchange narrowing), AP-203
(store-only rows with no live consumer), AP-204 (silent auto-reassign
instead of retail's confirm dialog; OK/Cancel ported as left-click not
right-click-release).
Small supporting additions: UiButton.OnRightClick (additive, no
existing behavior changed), InputDispatcher.Bindings getter (the
screen's single live-truth read seam), RetailScanCodeMap (DIK scan
code <-> Silk.NET Key, keyboard + the one mouse-device row).
19 new tests (6 ActionMap reader conformance incl. live-DAT row-count/
label pins, 1 DAT-vs-RetailDefaults round-trip, 12 controller
behavior tests against the committed keyboard_config_21000009.json
fixture) — full solution suite 13,147 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed
(baseline 13,128/4/0, zero regressions).

R1: UiRoot now delivers WM_CAPTURECHANGED (0x215 — retail's own Win32
event-id space) to the element losing pointer capture on BOTH release
and re-target; UiScrollbar terminates a mid-drag gesture there,
completing it (one DragCompleted flush persisting the user's last-seen
value) and unlatching IsDragging — a panel-close keybind mid-drag or a
second-button re-target can no longer latch the drag flag forever and
silently suppress every later settings flush. Normal MouseUp paths
no-op (the latch is already clear when capture releases).
R2: the scalar latch arms BEFORE the track-click jump applies, so the
jump's own ScalarChanged tick defers its flush to the MouseUp's single
DragCompleted — one flush per press gesture, never the
inline-then-completed double; the DragCompleted doc now states the real
contract (fires once per value-capable gesture incl. capture loss)
instead of the refuted never-on-jump claim.
Tests: capture-loss mid-drag (ends + completes once + stray-MouseUp
no-double), no-drag capture-change no-op, bare-track-click
single-completion with the latch observed armed during the jump tick.
Also reconciles the research doc's U4 row to its closure (the six
caption pairs, the BN zero-fold post-mortem) per the OP6 rework's flag.
Full Release suite: 13,128 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (one
documented #250-class allocation flake on first run, green in
isolation and on full-suite rerun).

Fixes all three MUST-FIX findings from the OP6 REJECT review
(docs/research/2026-08-11-op6-review.md) plus its SHOULD-FIXes and NOTEs.
M1 — the "retail ships zero range captions" claim was a Binary Ninja
constant-folding artifact (the same class the header-string globals a few
lines above already worked around). The six SetSliderLabel call sites
byte-decode to reads of runtime-filled ID_Graphics_Value_* globals, not
immediate zeros (PE-byte-verified against the PDB-paired acclient.exe,
independently re-derived in this session, not just re-asserted from the
review). ConfigOptionsPageController.BuildSliderRow gained optional
rangeLowKey/rangeHighKey parameters wired for all six idx6 sliders (Camera
Stiffness Soft/Hard, Adjustment Speed Slow/Fast, FOV Narrow/Wide, Screen
Brightness Dark/Bright, Graphics Performance Speed/Detail, Degrade Distance
Close/Far) via the same SetRangeLabel mechanism OP5's Chat opacity sliders
already established. Mouse Look Sensitivity (idx3) correctly stays
uncaptioned — the one genuine SetSliderLabel omission. Class doc corrected;
gate-script lines 535/653-equivalent corrected in place.
M2 — the three Sound "Disabled" toggles were semantically inverted:
SoundManager::effect_sounds_enabled/ambient_sounds_enabled/
interface_sounds_enabled are all compiled = 1 in .data, and
UserPreferences::RegisterPreference binds the checkbox's boolean value
DIRECTLY onto those enabled-sense statics — checked-by-default means
enabled-by-default, not disabled. AudioSettings.SfxDisabled/AmbientDisabled/
InterfaceDisabled renamed to SfxEnabled/AmbientEnabled/InterfaceEnabled
(fresh JSON keys — the rejected slice's keys never shipped in an accepted
build); RuntimeSettingsStartupTargets.ApplyAudio now computes effective
volume through the extracted, independently-unit-tested pure function
ComputeEffectiveCategoryVolumes (enabled ? slider : 0f). This closes the
blast radius the review flagged: a missing key in an EXISTING settings.json
now falls back to AudioSettings.Default, which is enabled=true, so a fresh
launch is audible, not muted. AP-199's wording and gate-script step 6
corrected; the enshrined-inversion test rewritten to assert the correct
default and a new SettingsStore test pins the legacy-file fallback path.
M3 — UI_ChatFontFace now ships all five of retail's authored choices
(Arial, CourierNew, PalatinoLinotype, Tahoma, TimesNewRoman — a fixed
compile-time array at gmClient::InitUIPreferences, PE-byte-verified
present verbatim in .rdata, not a per-machine runtime enumeration as the
rejected slice's comment claimed). Default index 2 (PalatinoLinotype) now
indexes a real entry.
S1 — Bind() now emits the sixth trailing AddSeperator retail's own
InitOptions ends with (0x0049E80D), matching retail's 39-item ListBox (6
headers + 6 separators + 27 option-widget-rows) instead of 38.
S2 — Screen Brightness gets its own DisplaySettings.ScreenBrightness field
([-1,1], default 0) instead of overloading Gamma, which has a different
unit system (default 1.0, legacy [0.5,2.0] slider) and its own live
Settings-panel consumer.
S3 — UiScrollbar and UiMenu gained a settable TooltipText surfaced through
GetTooltipText (UiButton's existing pattern). Every slider and menu row's
own interactive widget (not just toggle/trio rows) now carries retail's
"<label>_Help" tooltip, verified as a universal suffix convention across
every AttachPreference site touched by this tab.
S4 — "800x600" added to DisplaySettings.AvailableResolutions: a genuine
retail display mode (Device::ForceDisplayResolution(1,0x320,0x258) at
startup) and the Config tab's own byte-verified Resolution row default, not
an invented preset. Defaults now lands on a highlighted, re-selectable
dropdown entry instead of an orphaned value.
S5 — four new/extended tests: ComputeEffectiveCategoryVolumes gets a
dedicated pure-function value assertion (Theory + a default-profile-is-
audible Fact) in RuntimeSettingsControllerTests, closing the "only event
order was asserted" gap that let M2 ship; a label/choice-key conformance
table in ConfigOptionsPageControllerTests enumerates every key this tab
queries (traced directly from the fixed code paths, not guessed) and fails
on an invented OR a dropped key; a per-row DefaultValue pin asserts every
row's default against the retail literal directly, independent of the
underlying settings-record defaults; and the S1 separator fix gets its own
39-item stacked-ListBox count pin.
NOTEs — AP-198's row count was always ten (its own enumeration never said
nine); the commit-message inconsistency N1 flagged is reconciled in both
the row and the section-summary line, and its Screen Brightness sub-clause
now matches S2. N2: Bind() now reads the scrollbar id from
UiTemplateListBox.ScrollbarElementId (dat property 0x72) instead of a
hardcoded constant. N3 (batch Defaults writes) and N4 (AfterApply on
Config-tab entry, needs no action) are left as recorded — out of this
rework's scope per the review's own disposition.
Full Release suite: 13,125 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
13,117/4/0 — net +8 tests added, 0 regressions, 0 removed).

Fixes the OP5 (Chat tab) dual-lens review findings against e71e5a96:
- M1 (MUST-FIX): each opacity row's own apply closure now pushes its OWN
slider's thumb from the post-link truth (bindings.Current*Opacity()),
mirroring the OP4 binding pattern. Before this, a single-slider drag
followed by Reset reverted the live value/link but left that slider's
own thumb stuck at the dragged position.
- S1 (SHOULD-FIX): the Chat tab's two opacity sliders no longer round-trip
the whole settings.json on every drag MouseMove tick. UiScrollbar gains
IsDragging + a DragCompleted callback (fires once, at the MouseUp that
ends an actual thumb drag); the opacity apply closures flush immediately
when not mid-drag (Reset/Defaults/discrete edits, same as before) and
defer to DragCompleted otherwise, collapsing dozens of per-tick writes
into exactly one per drag gesture. Live opacity still applies every tick.
- S2 (SHOULD-FIX): filed register row AP-201 and issue #371 for the
UiScrollablePanel whole-row-cull-vs-clip divergence the review found
(predates OP5, made user-visible by OP5's 240-260px filter blocks). Not
fixed in this round (a renderer-level scissor stack is out of scope
here) — corrected the OP5 connected-gate script instead so a straddling
block's disappear-then-reappear-whole is no longer reported as a
self-sizing regression.
- S3 (SHOULD-FIX): the chatWindowMainFilter round-trip test already
existed in e71e5a96 (the review missed it scrolling past line 330);
added the genuinely missing coverage instead — a composed test pinning
RetailUiRuntime.MountChat's window-0 SettingsStore -> ChatWindowState
seed (MountChat itself needs live DAT access and isn't unit-testable
directly).
- N11: ScrollbarLinkage_ModelPointsAtTheChatListBoxScroll now asserts
through the scoped page-slot lookup (UiElement.FindDescendant) instead
of the flat layout.FindElement, which passed for the wrong reason given
the shared scrollbar id 0x10000201 — matches OP6's own scrollbar-linkage
test pattern.
Also updated ConfigOptionsPageControllerTests' local ChatOptionsPageController
Bindings fake for the new FlushOpacity parameter.
Full Release suite: 13,117 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 13,107/4/0
post-OP6 — 10 tests added, zero skips added, zero failures).

Binds the retail Options panel's Config tab (LayoutDesc 0x21000029, 27
authored rows across 6 sections) through OP2's template mechanism and
OP3's per-page OptionPage model, matching the Character/Chat tab
controllers' established pattern.
The row table is transcribed directly from two decompiled sources —
gmConfigUI::InitOptions @0x0049E400 (row order, widget shape, defaults)
and gmClient::InitUIPreferences @0x004035b0 (the complete
UIPreferences::AttachPreference registration: every label/tooltip key,
every slider's real-unit range, every menu's enum choices) — which
resolves the research docs' own "U4" unverified slider-caption pairing:
retail ships ZERO range captions on this tab (every SetSliderLabel call
passes literal string id 0).
Consumer disposition: LIVE — Sound/Ambient volume-trio sliders and their
toggle halves (AudioSettings.SfxDisabled/AmbientDisabled now gate the
already-live engine write; RuntimeSettingsController.SaveAudio newly
pushes into OpenAlAudioEngine on every change, not just at startup),
Resolution/Full Screen (immediate window resize on save). NEXT-LAUNCH
(pre-existing precedent): Sync To Refresh, Field of View. STORE-ONLY
(register rows AP-198/199/200, TS-74 extended): Sound Features/Interface
trio/Play-Only-When-Active, the nine Graphics/Rendering-Quality rows
(Vulkan has no per-feature render knobs), Camera/Input's six rows and
Use Mouse Turning (no persistent mouse-turning camera mode), Chat Font
Face/Size (distinct new fields from the existing live ChatSettings.FontSize).
AudioSettings/DisplaySettings/CameraTurningSettings/ChatSettings each
gain new fields for their slice of the 27 rows, backed by SettingsStore
round-trips. A real bug caught by testing: the scrollbar scope lookup
used the standalone-layout root id (0x100001FF), which does not survive
base-merge into the host-mounted tree — fixed to scope from the tab
host's own page-slot id (0x10000213), matching Chat's established
pattern for the same shared-scrollbar-id hazard (0x10000201, authored by
both the Chat and Config ListBoxes).
30 new tests (27 authored rows register as 30 IOptionRow instances — the
three toggle+slider trios each register two). Full Release suite:
13,107 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 13,083/4/0 — net +24, the one
existing RuntimeSettingsControllerTests case updated for SaveAudio's new
live-apply call, not a regression).

R1: the timestamp prefix moves from ChatLog.Append (which stamped the
stored BODY, rendering 'Alice says, "13:05:09 hi"') to ChatVM's display
composition — FormatTimestampPrefix(entry.Received) prepends the COMPOSED
line, matching retail's separate-leading-string model (fprintf("%ls%ls",
ts, text) @0x00563e5b; AddTextToScroll receives composed lines). The
prefix renders entry.Received in LOCAL time (retail strftime), invariant
literal colons. The ten defect-pinning test cases across
ChatLogTests/RuntimeCommunicationStateTests are rewritten to pin the
corrected contract (stored bodies stay clean; the composed line carries
the stamp outside the quotes — ChatVMTests).
R2: open option-bearing panels converge on every PlayerDescription seed:
OptionPage.ReloadFromLive (per-row live re-read + gating re-eval, NO
AfterApply flush — the seed just cleared the dirty module),
OptionsPanelController.OnServerOptionsSeeded (active page),
CombatUiController.OnServerOptionsSeeded (SyncControls), wired through
RuntimeSettingsController.ServerOptionsSeeded from the same factory hook
LockUI already uses. Retail cannot reach this state (its panels close
across login); the adaptation exists because retained panels survive the
session boundary — documented at the seam.
R3: tests drive the refresh widget push (model AND checkbox converge) and
ReloadFromLive's no-flush contract. R4: AP-196 addendum names the
headless AutoRepeatAttack false->true effective-default flip and the
characterOptions escape hatch.
Full Release suite: 13,083 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Binds LayoutDesc 0x2100005C through OP2's template-list mechanism and
OP3's per-page OptionPage model: the General Options header + two
DualHash-linked opacity sliders (Option_DefaultOpacity_Property
0x10000080 / Option_ActiveOpacity_Property 0x10000081, live-apply on
drag through RetailWindowOpacityController, defaults read from the
installed DAT's DBProperties collection at DID 0x78000001 via
ChatOptionsDatDefaults), and the five per-window text-filter blocks
(main window 12 rows minus Gameplay, four floaties 13 rows each — the
byte-verified authored order cross-checked against the raw
gmChatOptionsUI::InitOptions/AddCheckboxBitfield64Option pseudo-C, not
just the research doc's own table) writing AcDream.Core.Chat.
ChatWindowState directly, the same state CH6's chat windows already
read.
AP-195 retired: ported both halves left open at the OP2 re-review —
the ALL-set LED media swap (new UiButton.FaceFileOverride, driven by
the block-level P0x10000082/P0x10000083 sprites now threaded through
ElementInfo/DatWidgetFactory) and the CreateChildren self-sizing tail
(UiCheckboxBitfield64.Height grows with its stacked row content; the
enclosing ListBox reflows around the block's FINAL height via the new
UiTemplateListBox.AddPrebuiltRow, reusing the ListBox's own stacking
rather than a third stacking path). AP-187 broadened to cover the main
window's own filter (previously only the four floaties) and the new
live-editing write path.
The main chat window's filter (retail window id 8, ChatWindowState id
0) gains its own settings.json persistence (ChatSettings.
ChatWindowMainFilter) alongside the pre-existing floaty 1-4 fields;
opacity persistence is now wired on every live slider change, not only
through the old dev-scaffold Settings panel.
Fixture regeneration (ACDREAM_REGENERATE_UI_FIXTURES=1) picked up the
new ElementInfo.LedCheckedSprite/LedUncheckedSprite fields across all
19 committed layout fixtures — purely additive, confirmed against the
live installed DAT (0x10000520's own 0x82/0x83 properties resolve to
0x06004D17/0x06004D19 exactly as AP-195 documented).
Conformance: FilterRows/FilterBlocks pinned against the byte-verified
authored order and ChatWindowState's own default constants; the AP-195
LED swap and self-sizing behavior; the DAT opacity-default extraction
against the live installed DAT; live filter/opacity writes reaching
ChatWindowState/RetailWindowOpacityController; OnShown re-seed and
Reset/Defaults ghosting per the OP4 binding-pattern discipline.

Both OP4 reviews converged on one headline bug (Character-tab rows never
re-read live server truth after their pre-login constructor-word seed) plus
overlapping MUST-FIXes. All ten converged/consolidated findings land here:
MUST-FIX:
- BoolOptionRow.SaveCurrentValue now re-reads its live binding (retail's
GetValue()-into-SaveCurrentValue) on every OnShown — panel open, tab
switch in, initial activation — instead of trusting the pre-login
constructor word it was built with. Reset/tab-switch can now only
restore values that were actually live at the last show. LockUI's
host.Root.UiLocked one-shot mount seed now also converges on every
PlayerDescription via the existing OnCharacterOptionsChanged hook.
- Apply/Reset are wired to OptionPage.OnOptionChanged in production
(Ghosted when nothing changed, Normal when dirty, run once at bind so
both start disabled per retail's PostInit); Defaults stays ungated.
- The Combat panel's three LEDs (Repeat Attacks/Auto Target/Keep in View)
now read/write the same RuntimeCharacterOptionsState seam the Character
tab uses instead of a disconnected client-local GameplaySettings copy —
closes the "two writable copies" divergence. The three now-orphaned
GameplaySettings fields and RuntimeSettingsController's mirror
properties/SetCombatGameplay are deleted outright; the headless host's
hardcoded AutoRepeatAttack/AutoTarget now read the live option bit.
- RuntimeSettingsController.SetUiLocked's convergence guard now compares
against the last value actually applied to the runtime target instead
of the persisted GameplaySettings.LockUI snapshot, which could already
match a server-derived request without ever having been pushed.
SHOULD-FIX:
- DisplayTimeStamps now prefixes every chat producer (ChatLog.Append is
the one seam all of them funnel through), not just AddText's own
callers — heard speech, emotes, Turbine channels, and combat text were
previously missed. The prefix format escapes its colons and forces
InvariantCulture instead of the culture-dependent TimeSeparator
placeholder.
- sky.frag now honors uFogParams.w (fog mode) like the mesh/terrain
shaders, so Disable Distance Fog stops the sky dome's horizon band from
blending toward fog color too.
- Corrected the "byte-verified" overclaim on the timestamp format string
doc comment (BN-sourced, wire doc U6) and the AP-194 anchor-column
class-name typo; the RunAsDefaultMovement doc comments now cite retail's
actual acclient.h enumerator name.
- Added: DispatcherMovementInputSource's option x modifier truth table
(incl. || AutoRunActive with the option off), the per-page Apply/Reset
enable-gate tests, a real checkbox.OnClick/ToggleBehavior-driven click
test, and hash-pins for the six header string keys.
- Gate script step 8 corrected for the logout-flush false-failure
(closing the panel before relogging is load-bearing); a new step
documents the enable-gate sequence and the Combat-panel/Character-tab
cross-check.
Register: AP-196 (the Group-C default-source change + GameplaySettings
retirement) and AP-197 (the ignored per-character timestamp format
override) filed in this commit.
Full Release suite: 13,044 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 13,008/4/0;
net +36 tests from new coverage and legitimate assertion updates from the
GameplaySettings retirement).

Binds LayoutDesc 0x21000028 (gmCharacterSettingsUI) through OP2's
template-list mechanism and OP3's OptionPage model: 6 authored group
headers + 50 toggle rows (49 from the 2013 build + D3's "Listen to PK
death messages", AP-193) in research doc §2's authored order, each row
resolved by PlayerOption id through CharacterOptionTable, seeded from
live RuntimeCharacterOptionsState, defaulted from CharacterOptionTable.
ClientDefault (byte-verified against UIOption_Checkbox::SetPlayerOption
@0x00486e80's own GetDefaultOptionValue call — AP-194 updated to confirm
the directive was followed), labels/tooltips resolved by name from
string table 0x23000003 (never hard-coded English), and registered with
OptionsPanelController.CharacterPage. Apply/Reset/Defaults
(0x100001FC/FD/FE) are now wired per-page via a scoped subtree search
(UiElement.FindDescendant, promoted from UiTabPanel) since Character/
Chat/Config each author their own physical instance under the SAME
element ids.
Consumers: Group A (29 ids) wire+store only via the existing
SetSingleCharacterOptionRuntimeCmd/TrySetOption seam. Group B: Display
Timestamps prefixes new transcript lines (RuntimeCommunicationState.
DisplayTimestampsSource); Disable Distance Fog forces FogMode.Off
(WeatherSystem.DisableDistanceFogSource, retiring half of TS-73); Run as
Default Movement inverts the walk-mode modifier's default
(RuntimeLocalPlayerMovementState.RunAsDefaultMovementSource). Group C
re-points AutoTarget/AutoRepeatAttack/ViewCombatTarget
(CharacterOptionCombatSettingsSource), VividTargetingIndicator/
CoordinatesOnRadar/LockUI/AcceptLootPermits from the client-local
GameplaySettings record to the canonical server bit — closing two
previously-unfiled divergences where AutoRepeatAttack and
AcceptCorpseLootingPermissions never reached the wire despite being
retail auto-save ids. TS-73 narrowed to its two still-open cases;
TS-75..TS-80 file the genuine gaps (no day/night force, no weather-
particle/profanity-filter/salvage/housing/pickup-preference subsystem,
fellowship-create's unaudited client-sourced field) rather than
inventing stand-ins.
Conformance: CharacterOptionsPageControllerTests pins all 50 rows
against CharacterOptionTable in both directions (an invented or dropped
row fails the build), the authored group/order row-by-row, and the
build/seed/Apply/Reset/Defaults/wire-publish behavior end-to-end against
the committed fixture. 52 new tests; full solution suite 13,008 passed /
4 skipped / 0 failed (was 12,956/4/0).

R1: the gate script no longer promises a timestamp prefix on the Magic
macro lines — acdream renders no chat timestamps yet (the Display
Timestamps consumer is OP4 scope; no chat-log file exists, TS-69). A
bare light-blue transcript line is the CORRECT gate outcome.
R2: IsGrounded yields null (silent) for a NULL controller in player
mode — the prior pattern returned false and fired the mid-air refusal
retail cannot produce in that state; comments now match the code.
R3: the dormant-ActivePageChanged pin now applies the real stimulus —
every authored tab button on a dormant host must carry NO click handler
(RetailTabBinding.SetClick never ran), which is AD-73's actual dormancy
mechanism; SwitchTo deliberately has no guard.
OP3 is CLOSED: dual APPROVE-WITH-FIXES -> fix round 386076af ->
re-review REOPEN(narrow) -> this pass. Connected gate now READY.

TWO work products share this commit (a staged-index collision between the
coordinator's docs commit and the OP7 fixer's staged files — content
verified complete and coherent; only this message was wrong before the
amend):
1. OP7 review fixes (all nine findings from
docs/research/2026-08-11-op7-review.md):
- M1: HeadlessSessionDescriptor is a record; WithAccount uses 'with' non-destructive record copy,
so a future property cannot be silently dropped; direct-CLI
regression test proves CharacterOptions survives --user/--password.
- M2 root fix: LiveSessionEventRouter skips BOTH Replace and the
options notification on a trailer-truncated PlayerDescription — a
truncated re-seed can no longer install zeroed words under an armed
latch for OP7's automation to flush into 0x01A1.
- SF1: schema keys validate as ordinal strings against the allowed
names (numeric / comma-combined aliases rejected). SF2: both-true
fellowship exclusion rejected at load, naming both keys. SF3: the
onLoginCompleteSent observer moved after transit.EndTeleport().
SF4: production-hook coverage for all three LoginComplete sites.
SF5: test-script OP7 wire expectation corrected (batched ids ride
only the 0x01A1).
2. docs/research/2026-08-11-op3-rereview.md — OP3 re-review verdict
REOPEN (narrow): M1 byte-decode independently re-verified (6a 07 at
all six sites); residuals R1 (gate script promises a timestamp prefix
acdream doesn't render), R2 (null-controller player-mode still
refuses), R3 (dormancy pin lacks stimulus) — coordinator fixes follow.
Full Release suite at this tree: 12,956 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Consolidated fix round for the two OP3 dual-lens reviews
(docs/research/2026-08-11-op3-review-{mechanism,blast}.md), both
APPROVE-WITH-FIXES.
MUST-FIX:
- The six "Use Mouse Turning Settings" chat lines were typed
RetailLogTextType.ClientLocal (0x1A); retail types them 0x07 (Magic).
BYTE-VERIFIED against the PDB-paired binary at all six
gmConfigUI::SetMouseTurningDefaults call sites (0x0049E972/E9E2/EA52/
EAA4/EAF6/EB48): every site pushes `6a 07` (type=7) immediately before
the text-pointer push and the AddTextToScroll call. Added a dedicated
OptionsRuntimeBindings.DisplayMouseTurningMacroLine seam routed at
Magic (scrolling chat transcript, light blue, timestamped) instead of
the 4-slot SpewBox ClientLocal uses; the mid-air refusal and UA/RA
keep ClientLocal (both independently confirmed correct).
- Filed AD-77: the client-wide floating-only gmPanelUI host divergence
(retail also exposes a docked 0x21000017 host) the plan §5 delegated
to this review, scoped to every main panel, not just Options.
SHOULD-FIX:
- gmGameplayOptionsUI is not an OptionPage in retail (acclient.h:55857,
UIElement_Field). OptionsPanelController now constructs the Gameplay
slot's OptionPage with AfterApply deliberately null, so entering/
leaving that tab never publishes SaveCharacterOptionsRuntimeCmd.
Corrected OptionPageModel's doc comment and rewrote the two tests
that pinned the wrong (Gameplay-flushes) shape.
- Added the OptionPage.OnOptionChanged seam (PlayerOptionPage::
OnOptionChanged @0x004F27D0) — fires as the last step of Apply/
Reset/Defaults, plus once per live LED edit via a new
IOptionRow.AttachPageNotify hook (BoolOptionRow wires it into
SetCurrentValue only, matching retail's Apply(1)-only
HandleDialogAndNotices path). OP4-6 will bind Apply/Reset enable
state to this.
- Exit to Character Selection's mid-air refusal is now tri-state
(Func<bool?> IsGrounded): retail's UseTime only reaches the airborne
test inside `else if (smartbox->player)`, so outside player mode (or
with no live controller) the button is a SILENT no-op, not a
refusal. Fixed the inverted comment at both call sites.
- Options panel geometry now matches its nine gmPanelUI siblings
sharing RetailPanelUiController's one main-panel rectangle
(ResizeX=false, bottom-edge-only resize, no invented Min/MaxWidth/
Height) instead of being the only all-four-edge/horizontal-resize
outlier whose width silently reverted whenever a sibling was shown.
- Added the three missing test pins: Options/Character mutual
exclusion through a REAL RetailPanelUiController registration,
RetailDialogFactory.MakeConfirmation's omitted-queueKey overload
sharing DefaultQueueKey, and UiTabPanel.ActivePageChanged never
firing on a dormant (non-activated) host.
- TS-74's What/Where now names the five store-only CameraTurning
preferences explicitly instead of only mentioning them in Risk.
- Test script gains the toolbar-button ghosted->enabled+highlight
check, UseMouseTurning-survives-relogin and the five prefs-survive-
relaunch steps, a UA/RA legibility eye-item, and the corrected
bottom-edge-only geometry description for step 5.
One-liners fixed in files already touched: symmetric close-button
resolve-failure logging in OptionsPanelController.Bind (blast NOTE 8).
Full Release suite: 12,947 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,935/4/0 post-OP7 — 12 net new tests; the two OptionPageModelTests
"wrong-shape" tests were renamed/rewritten in place, not removed).

Adds an optional, strict `characterOptions` block to the headless bot config
(D8): keys are exactly the lane-B tier-1 (22) + tier-2 (4) bot-declarable
CharacterOptionId enum-member spellings; an unknown/out-of-tier name fails
config load naming the offending key, before it can ever reach the wire.
HeadlessCharacterOptionsSeeder diffs declared-vs-actual once both of ACE's
real preconditions are known true — GameActionLoginComplete sent (the
FirstEnterWorldDone gate SetCharacterOptions 0x01A1 needs) and a real
PlayerDescription has seeded RuntimeCharacterOptionsState
(HasServerSeed) — learned from whichever of two hooks lands second. Every
differing id routes through OP1's shared IRuntimeCharacterCommands seam:
auto-save ids send SetSingleOption (0x0005) immediately; batched ids also
call SetSingleOption (which only dirties the module) followed by exactly
one SaveOptions flush after the whole declared set has been walked.
Idempotent on reconnect by construction — no dedupe latch, the diff simply
finds nothing once the server agrees.
RuntimeLiveEntitySessionController gains a passive onLoginCompleteSent
observation hook (additive only, never changes when/whether it sends) so
the headless host can learn ACE's gate opened from any of its own two
internal send sites; the third site (direct first-entry completion) is
already owned by HeadlessSessionHost itself. All wiring is synchronous
delegate calls on Runtime's one dedicated update thread — no new
async/Task continuation, honoring #368.
Tests: schema (valid parse, unknown/tier-3 name rejected naming the key,
non-bool rejected, empty/absent no-op), the diff engine against a fake
IRuntimeCharacterCommands (nothing-to-send, auto-save-only, batched-with-
flush, mixed ordering, reconnect idempotence), and two wiring integration
tests — one dispatching a real PlayerDescription game event end-to-end to
a captured wire action, one proving the send lands on the same dedicated
thread every Tick runs on. Full solution suite: 12,935 passed / 4 skipped
/ 0 failed (+17 over baseline 12,918/4/0).
No register row: the characterOptions bot-config surface is acdream-
native tooling over retail's own wire mechanisms (both already ported by
OP1), not a retail UI port with a divergence to record.

Mounts retail's Options panel (LayoutDesc 0x2100002B resolved through host
0x2100006E slot 0x1000018D, gmPanelUI key 10) via the same catalog-import
pattern CharacterController already validates, registered through
RetailPanelUiController so it shares retail's "one active gmPanelUI child"
mutual exclusion with every other sibling panel for free. F11 and the
toolbar's options button (0x1000019B, already authoring panel id 10) both
now open it; the close button fires the same ToggleOptionsPanel action.
OptionPageModel (OptionPage/BoolOptionRow) ports retail's exact
Apply/Reset/Defaults/visibility semantics from
UIOption_Checkbox/PlayerOptionPage — LED clicks apply live immediately,
Apply commits every row unconditionally + flushes the batched blob, Reset
reverts only Changed rows, Defaults restores without committing, and
tab-switch/window-hide revert uncommitted edits. Wired for all four tabs;
this slice registers real rows on none of them (Gameplay authentically has
none — a pure button list). UiTabPanel gains an ActivePageChanged event so
the page model can hook every tab transition, including the initial
default-tab activation.
The seven Gameplay-tab buttons: Exit Game reuses the existing graceful
window-close path; Exit to Character Selection gets retail's confirmation
dialog and byte-verified mid-air refusal but still behaves as Exit Game
(AD-74 — no pre-world character-select flow exists); Configure Keyboard
and In-Game Help Files are inert this slice (AD-76 for Help — the
plugin retail depends on doesn't exist); Urgent Assistance/Report Abuse
short-circuit to their own byte-verified failure text through the
interface-text seam instead of ShellExecute against a dead URL (AD-75);
Use Mouse Turning Settings runs the pure MouseTurningSettingsMacro port,
persisting five new CameraTurningSettings preferences and sending
PlayerOption.UseMouseTurning — TS-74 records that acdream has no
persistent mouse-turning camera mode for the bit to drive yet.
Full Release suite: 12,918 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,871/4/0 — only new tests added).

Closes the mechanism lens's REOPEN (one MUST-FIX) and both lenses' small
residuals on the OP2 rework (b236a442); the blast lens re-review was
CLOSED outright. Fable-direct per the two-failure escalation rule.
- AP-195 filed: UIOption_CheckboxBitfield64 ports HALF of Refresh
@0x004859C0 — the ANY-set checkbox predicate is exact, but the ALL-set
LED media swap (P0x10000082=0x06004D17 / P0x10000083=0x06004D19) and
the ListBox self-sizing tail (ResizeTo/CalculatePaperSize — the block
IS a UIElement_ListBox in retail) are unported, and the block's row
stacking is a second divergent implementation beside UiTemplateListBox.
All due at OP5 before the Chat tab's connected gate; the IsSet doc
comment now names both halves instead of quoting only the ported one.
- Row tooltips: UiButton gains settable TooltipText surfaced through the
shared GetTooltipText hover pipeline (UiCatalogSlot's pattern);
UiCheckboxBitfield64.AddChild applies the row tooltip retail stamps in
CreateChildren @0x00485DF0, and documents that the 0x10000084 row-index
attribute stamp is deliberately replaced by the typed mask closure.
- AD-73 addendum: UiTemplateListBox.ConsumesDatChildren=true is inert
only while no authored Type-5 element carries children — that premise
is now conformance-PINNED across all 32 fixtures (a future DAT
regeneration surfacing an authored child fails the build instead of
silently dropping it).
- Plan doc: OP2's contract names UiTabPanel.cs (retail UIElement_Panel),
not the fictional-class-named UiTabControl.cs; ledger records OP1 and
OP2 both CLOSED.

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.

OP2 (df9c7a35) was double-REJECTed: an unconditional Type-8/Type-5 factory
mapping silently re-classed 15 elements across 7 shipped panels (vendor
backdrop lost its fill, character/spellbook roots stopped passing clicks
through, combat gained a phantom import-time tab takeover, ten ListBoxes
gained a spurious hit-testable viewport) because the stale 27 pre-existing
fixtures never exercised the new fields — and the mechanism itself cited a
nonexistent "UIElement_TabControl" class, inverted UiCheckboxBitfield64's
checked-state predicate, and synthesized fake per-row geometry instead of
using the widget's own authored template.
Shape change: UiTabPanel (renamed from UiTabControl) and UiTemplateListBox
now derive from UiDatElement (unsealed) and stay DORMANT by default — an
imported Type-8/Type-5 element gets authored-media drawing, ClickThrough
generic-decoration default, and IUiDatStateful propagation identical to the
pre-OP2 UiDatElement fallback, with zero import-time side effects. The
factory's Type-8/Type-5 arms are unconditional again (no more guard whose
premise the blast-radius sweep proved false), because dormancy makes an
unactivated instance behaviorally indistinguishable from the old fallback.
UiTabPanel.ActivateTabBehavior() and UiTemplateListBox's lazy viewport
creation are the explicit, controller-driven opt-ins Campaign OP slice OP3+
will call; today nothing does, so the four pre-existing shipped Type-8
hosts (character/spellbook/vendor/combat) and ten pre-existing Type-5
ListBoxes keep their pre-OP2 behavior exactly. Filed AD-73 for this
dormant-vs-retail's-unconditional-activation adaptation.
Mechanism fixes (docs/research/2026-08-11-op2-review-mechanism.md):
- UiTabPanel cites UIElement_Panel (Type 8 is UIElement_Panel; no
UIElement_TabControl exists in the PDB), resolves buttons/pages via a
GetChildRecursive-equivalent descendant search (not direct-children-only),
performs no switch when no entry authors 0x32 (deleted the _tabs[0]
fallback), and surfaces unresolved tab-table entries via UnresolvedEntries
+ a diagnostic line instead of a silent no-op.
- ElementReader.ReadTabTable skips entries missing 0x30/0x31, matching
retail's SetupTabPageHash @0x0046C2E0 entry filter.
- UiCheckboxBitfield64 now builds every row from its OWN authored template
(property 0x64 -> {0x2100002B, 0x10000521}) via AddItemFromTemplateList,
deleting the synthesized ElementInfo + invented RowHeight=14 — matching
retail's CreateChildren @0x00485DF0, which is itself a UIElement_ListBox
call. IsSet is now retail's ANY-bit-set predicate (Refresh @0x004859C0),
not all-bits-set. TS-72 retired: the click-toggle bit math is now fully
decomp-confirmed (SetBitsOnOrOff via ListenToElementMessage @0x00485AE0).
Regenerated all 32 UI fixtures against real DAT (ACDREAM_REGENERATE_UI_FIXTURES=1)
and committed them — 27 pre-existing fixtures now carry Outline/OutlineColor/
TabTable/TemplateList/ScrollbarElementId; the 5 Options fixtures were already
current. Updated EffectsUiControllerTests' now-correct UiTemplateListBox
class-identity assertion. Added: 6 built-widget behavior pins for all five
pre-existing Type-8 elements + a representative Type-5 element the dormancy
model protects (OP2ReworkBlastRadiusConformanceTests.cs); 5 reader-level
tests driving ReadTabTable/ReadTemplateList/the 0x72 reader from raw
property bags (ElementReaderTests.cs); a multi-bit-mask UiCheckboxBitfield64
test proving the any-bit predicate (the prior single-bit test couldn't

Closes the two mechanism-lens and blast-lens dual reviews of Campaign OP
slice OP1 (86c0a7e0): docs/research/2026-08-10-op1-review-mechanism.md and
docs/research/2026-08-10-op1-review-blast.md.
MUST-FIX M1 (blast): RuntimeCharacterOptionsState gains a HasServerSeed
latch, set by Replace (the PlayerDescription seed) and cleared by
ResetSession. TryFlush/TryFlushIfAutoSaveDue now refuse before the seed
arrives — closing the window where a bot (or, after this commit, the
timer/logout triggers) could flush client-default option words over a
character's real server-side options before any PlayerDescription ever
landed.
MUST-FIX 1 (mechanism): the 480 s auto-save timer and the pre-logoff
flush are now wired into production, closing TS-71 (retired). Both ride
LiveSessionController's own tick/stop transaction via two new hooks
(ConfigureAutoSaveTick/ConfigurePreLogoffFlush), wired once by
GameRuntime's constructor — a Runtime-internal change requiring zero
host edits, exactly as the review identified. The flush body talks to
WorldSession directly rather than through App's LiveSessionCommandRouter,
which is what keeps this off the S2 lock-order hazard (below). Filed
TS-73 for the two OnChanged side-effect cases (weather/day/combat-
target/fog) TrySetOption still doesn't model — pre-anchored to OP4's
Group B consumer binds.
SHOULD-FIX S2 (blast, prerequisite for MUST-FIX 1): TryFlush/
TryFlushIfAutoSaveDue no longer invoke the flush callback while holding
_dirtyGate — the decision is made and cleared under the lock, but the
callback itself runs outside it, closing the lock-inversion hazard the
natural timer wiring would have hit (Runtime tick's _dirtyGate-then-
_gate vs the router's _gate-then-_dirtyGate).
SHOULD-FIX MF-2 (mechanism): TrySetOption now ports the two
PlayerModule-state-mutating cases of CPlayerModule::OnChanged's local
side-effect switch — turning ON IgnoreFellowshipRequests or
FellowshipAutoAcceptRequests clears the other through a real recursive
TrySetOption call, reproducing retail's second 0x0005 (the clear's send
reaches the wire before the primary option's own send, matching the
nested-call order in the decomp). The signature widened from
Action sendAutoSave to Action<uint,bool> so the recursion can send a
different (id, value) than the caller's own; every production call site
now passes WorldSession.SendSetSingleCharacterOption directly.
SHOULD-FIX MF-3 (mechanism): a hand-transcribed 53-row (id, isOptions1,
mask) theory in CharacterOptionTableTests, independently re-derived from
acclient.h's PlayerOption/CharacterOption/CharacterOptions2 enums rather
than copied from CharacterOptionTable.cs — closes the one column with no
id-by-id pin. Also added the pairwise-distinctness check blast NOTE N7
named.
SHOULD-FIX S1 (blast): LiveSessionCommandRouterTests' CH3/CH4 regression
test now drives the REAL TrySetOption binding instead of a hand-rolled
SetOptionBit substitute that had silently drifted from production after
OP1.
SHOULD-FIX S3 (blast): RuntimeCharacterOwnershipSnapshot gains
OptionsAreClean (!Options.IsDirty), included in IsConverged — a module
whose two words happen to cycle back to their default bit pattern while
still dirty is now caught by the combined ownership ledger, not just by
OptionsAreDefaults.
SHOULD-FIX S4 (blast): SaveOptions no longer encodes "did it actually
flush" as PrimaryObjectId 1u/0u (which read as object guid 0x00000001 in
the K2 event stream). Both host adapters now report the identical shape
(Accepted, objectId 0) — the graphical host never could report this
anyway (LiveCommandBus.Publish has no return channel).
SHOULD-FIX S5 (blast): Replace (the server-seed arrival) now also clears
IsDirty/FirstDirtiedAt — a wholesale re-seed supersedes any pending
batched-but-unflushed local intent (retail's own PlayerModule has no
partial-merge path either), documented at the member.
SHOULD-FIX S6 (blast): a cross-check theory asserting CharacterOptionTable's
masks equal PlayerDescriptionParser.CharacterOptions1/2's independently
(the write path vs the read path TurbineChatMembershipGate/
RuntimeSettingsController consume) — guards the exact CH3 failure class.
Also fixed a real allocation regression found while landing MUST-FIX 1:
the naive per-tick flush closure would have allocated on EVERY
LiveSessionController.Tick() call regardless of dirty state, which broke
the K4 headless 30-session resource-envelope gate. GameRuntime.
FlushCharacterOptions now pre-checks Options.IsDirty (itself retail-
faithful — CPlayerModule::UseTime opens with the identical m_bDirty byte
compare) before allocating the flush closure, so the allocation only
happens on the rare tick that might actually flush.
Dispositions on findings not changed this round:
- Mechanism NOTE 6 / not independently re-flagged: a re-entrant MarkDirty
from inside a flush callback can still be erased by the trailing
"_isDirty = false" — pre-existing, unchanged by the S2 lock restructure
(same outcome whether the callback runs inside or outside the lock),
not reachable from any current caller, not a one-liner to close
correctly (needs a per-dirty-period generation token). Left as documented
in the review; worth closing before the Options panel ever flushes from
inside a change handler.
- Mechanism NOTE 9, blast N2/N3/N4/N5/N6/N8: informational or require
touching files this round doesn't otherwise edit (SocialActions.cs,
CharacterOptionsBlobSource.cs, GameRuntimeContractTests.cs) — left per
the "one-liner in a file already being edited" instruction.
Register: TS-71 retired (both remaining SetCharacterOptions flush
triggers now production-wired); TS-73 filed (the two unmodeled OnChanged
presentation-binding cases, pre-anchored to OP4).
Quality bar: Release build green; full solution suite 12,853 passed / 4
skipped / 0 failed (baseline 12,770/4/0 post-OP2 — 83 new tests added,
zero regressions).

Ships the two new widget primitives the retail Options panel needs plus the
four remaining UIOption_* factory mappings, so every tab page (OP3-OP6) has
somewhere to mount.
- ElementReader/ElementInfo gain three new dat-property readers, following
the existing effective-state-resolution pattern (never a per-state
first-wins scan, per the round-5 N1 lesson): the Type-8 tab table
(property 0x2E -> TabTable), a ListBox's row-template list (property
0x64 -> TemplateList), and scrollbar linkage (property 0x72 ->
ScrollbarElementId). LayoutImporter gains one hook
(IUiChildrenAttachedListener) so a widget can resolve cross-references
its own dat properties name by id once its subtree actually exists.
- UiTabControl (Type 8): switches exactly one page-slot child visible,
syncs each tab button's Open/Closed state via the existing
RetailTabBinding helper, and honors the authored default tab on mount.
- UiTemplateListBox (Type 5 with an authored template list): wraps a
UiScrollablePanel viewport (sealed, so composition not inheritance) and
ports AddItemFromTemplateList(index) — the resolver seam a page
controller wires with real DAT access via the SAME
LayoutImporter.ImportInfos(dats, layoutId, elementId) overload
RetailDialogFactory already uses for its catalog LayoutDesc.
- DatWidgetFactory maps the four remaining UIOption_* widgets, each
verified against the regenerated options_2100002B.json fixture before
writing any code: 0x10000037 (Slider) is structurally an ordinary
horizontal UIElement_Scrollbar, so it reuses BuildScrollbar directly;
0x10000038 (Menu) is structurally identical to the vendor category
dropdown UiMenu already models, so it reuses `new UiMenu()` like the
Type-6 case; 0x10000036 (CheckboxSlider) composes an existing
UIOption_Checkbox child + UIOption_Slider child via the new
UiOptionToggleSlider wrapper; 0x10000044 (CheckboxBitfield64) authors
zero children in the dat (every row is added at runtime via retail's own
AddChild(lowMask, highMask, label, tooltip) call shape), so it's a new
UiCheckboxBitfield64 composing UiButton per row. No new drawing code
anywhere in this set.
- Five new committed fixtures (options_2100002B/2100002A/21000028/
2100005C/21000029) plus 25 new conformance tests pinning the tab table
(4 entries, Gameplay default), all three template arrays, scrollbar
linkage, every new widget-type mapping, and a UiTabControl behavioral
test (switch -> exactly one page visible, click-through the tab
button). The Character ListBox's authored 6-header/49-toggle shape
(lane B section counts) is proven reachable end-to-end through
AddItemFromTemplateList against the committed fixture.
- Regenerating fixtures also touched 27 PRE-EXISTING, unrelated fixtures
(an Outline/OutlineColor field pair added by an earlier commit,
bcc34ee3, that predates when those fixtures were last regenerated).
Per the slice contract, that drift was NOT committed — reverted back to
HEAD, only the five new Options-panel fixtures are new files here.
- Filed TS-72: UiCheckboxBitfield64's click-toggle bit math (AND/OR
set/clear semantics) is a documented approximation — the decompiled
excerpt this campaign pulled covers UIOption_CheckboxBitfield64::Apply's
WRITE side, not its own click-handler's bit math. Flagged for OP5 (the
Chat tab controller, the first consumer that reaches the wire) to
verify against the real decomp before any live transaction depends on
it; nothing user-reachable can observe this yet.
Full Release suite: 12,770 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 12,745/4/0
post-OP1 — 25 net new tests, zero regressions).

The retail Options panel (Campaign OP) needs a Runtime-owned option map
covering all 53 PlayerOption ids and the real batched SetCharacterOptions
(0x01A1) blob before any UI can be built on top of it. Today's surface only
modeled 6 ListenTo*Chat ids and the 0x01A1 builder was a malformed 16-byte
stub (deleted at Campaign CH slice CH3, docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-side-
channels-vs-ace.md).
- CharacterOptionTable.cs: the ONE typed table, PlayerOption id (0x00..0x34)
-> (Options1/Options2 word, mask, IsAutoSave, ClientDefault), transcribed
from acclient.h's verbatim CharacterOption/CharacterOptions2/PlayerOption
enums and byte-verified against IsAutoSaveOption @0x0059A600 (the 21-id
auto-save table) and GetDefaultOptionValue @0x005D2A30 (the Defaults-
button table). Reconstructing CharacterOptions1/2 defaults from the
ClientDefault column independently reproduces 0x50C4A54A / 0x00008700,
cross-confirming the id-mask mapping. CharacterOptionId (SocialActions.cs)
widened from 6 to all 53 ids to match.
- RuntimeCharacterOptionsState: SetOptionBit now resolves through the full
table (was a 6-case switch). New TrySetOption is the ONE shared local-
write-then-send/dirty seam — mirrors CPlayerModule::OnChanged exactly:
write the bit locally first, then either send 0x0005 immediately (auto-
save ids) or MarkDirty for the batched blob, no-op on an unchanged value
(retail's own early-return) or an unmodeled id. New dirty model (IsDirty/
FirstDirtiedAt/MarkDirty/TryFlush/TryFlushIfAutoSaveDue) uses an injected
TimeProvider so it's fully unit-testable without a live clock.
- Both IRuntimeCharacterCommands.SetSingleOption adapters (Direct + Current)
now route through TrySetOption instead of duplicating the write; this
fixes the headless local-write gap the OP1 research flagged (the direct
adapter previously sent the wire message without writing the bit first,
same class of bug CH4 fixed for the graphical host). Both also reject an
id outside the table instead of silently accepting it. LiveSessionRuntime
Factory's SendSingleCharacterOption closure now delegates to the same
seam instead of duplicating write-then-send inline.
- New IRuntimeCharacterCommands.SaveOptions(generation) — the explicit
blob-flush verb (retail's SaveToServer(force: 0)) — wired end-to-end in
both adapters, including a new SaveCharacterOptionsRuntimeCmd on the
graphical router.
- SocialActions.BuildSetCharacterOptions + WorldSession.SendSetCharacterOptions:
the real PlayerModule::Pack body per the wire research's field-by-field
layout — header always 0x460 OR'd with 0x001/0x008 when shortcuts/desired
comps are non-empty, favorite spells always 8 lists, never sets 0x100 or
0x200. Echoes last-parsed shortcuts/favorites/desired-comps/spellbook
filters (via new CharacterOptionsBlobSource) instead of zeroing them.
Conformance: a hand-computed golden byte vector (not generated by the
builder under test — the CH3 builder died of tests that pinned a wrong
shape and looked green) plus a round-trip through PlayerDescriptionParser.
Contract deviation: the 480 s auto-save timer and the flush-before-logout
trigger are implemented as fully-tested pure state-machine logic
(TryFlushIfAutoSaveDue) but are NOT wired into either host's live per-frame
loop or graceful-shutdown sequence in this slice — only the explicit
SaveOptions verb is production-wired. Wiring the timer touches App's
UpdateFrameOrchestrator graph and Headless's tick loop (outside this
slice's Runtime/wire-layer scope); wiring logout risks the already-fragile
graceful-shutdown sequence CLAUDE.md flags. Filed as TS-71 per the plan's
own escape valve ("target: not deferred" with a register row if deferred).
Also filed: AP-193 (the 0x34 HearPKDeathMessages id/mask is ACE-sourced,
unverifiable against the 2013 binary) and AP-194 (GetDefaultOptionValue's
table disagrees with the constructor default for ConfirmVolatileRareUse/
ShowHelm/ShowCloak — retail's own quirk, reproduced not fixed).
Tests: table completeness x53, auto-save/client-default split pinned
id-by-id against the byte-verified tables, unknown/reserved-id rejection
(0x35/0x36 landmines), local-write-then-send on both adapters + the router,
the dirty/flush state machine, SaveOptions, and the wire golden vector +
PlayerDescriptionParser round-trip. Full Release suite: 12,745 passed / 4
skipped / 0 failed (baseline 12,611/4/0 — slice adds 134 passing tests,
zero regressions).

Campaign CH round 4, user-gate items 1+2. Root cause: retail ships a
second (background) glyph atlas per font, dilated 2px on every side,
plus two border-pixel scalars (Font.NumHorizontalBorderPixels/
NumVerticalBorderPixels) that acdream's font reader never read — so
even the pre-existing outline parameter drew almost nothing once
enabled. Landed together (either half alone is a no-op or a
regression):
- UiDatFont carries BorderX/BorderY from the DAT font resource.
- UiRenderContext.DrawStringDat inflates the background blit's source
and destination rect by that margin and restructures into retail's
exact two-pass whole-string outline-then-fill model
(UIElement_Text::DrawSelf), plus the 8-neighbour +-1px fallback for
fonts with no background atlas. Corrects the stale "property 0xd"
comment to the real ids, 0x21 (Outline) / 0x22 (OutlineColor).
- LayoutDesc property 0x21/0x22 import (ElementInfo.Outline/
OutlineColor, LayoutImporter.ReadState, ElementReader.Merge/
ApplyCanonicalLegacyProjection, DatWidgetFactory.BuildText) so every
authored-outline element across the DAT set is correct at once.
- SpewBox: RetailFontId corrected from a round-3 heuristic
(0x40000025) to the actually-authored 0x40000001 (18px bold serif),
Outline=true set on the controller's UiText. Fill colour stays the
user-gate-round-1-pinned yellow — font atlases are alpha-only
(PFID_A8), so there is no baked shading that could explain the
screenshot's gold as anything other than the outline itself.
- Chat transcript: default fill now seeds from its authored
ARGB(255,204,204,204) instead of an unrelated color-table slot
(ChatTranscriptRenderer.BuildLines takes the transcript's own
DefaultColor as a parameter); the 34-entry LogTextType table is
untouched, and every existing CH1 conformance test stays green
unmodified.
Regenerated the committed chat_2100006f.json fixture from the real
installed DAT, confirming end to end (not by missing-field default)
that the transcript carries no outline.
Tests: font-reader border fields + inflation math pinned against the
real DAT font, two-pass draw ordering/tint/inflation via a new
TextRenderer.DebugSpriteSegmentVerts test seam, property 0x21/0x22
import at both the ElementReader.Merge and StateDesc-property layers,
SpewBox font/outline, and the chat default-shade seed with the color
table proven untouched.

Item 3 (#364): every honesty marker is now gone from user-visible /help
text. AllegianceOverview/HouseOverview's "[IMPLEMENTED]" tags and trailing
"Subcommands NOT marked..." sentences, and Day/Log/Render/Motd's appended
"NOT YET IMPLEMENTED in acdream" tails, are removed; the underlying retail
text is corrected/completed against the pseudo-C's own pristine
consolidated data dumps (Log and Motd had been silently truncated; Render
was entirely acdream-authored and is replaced with the real retail usage
string). The three PARTIAL /help group topics (channels/chatting/commands)
are now COMPLETE verbatim listings: HelpStupidChannelHack's three
"vtable slot" operands, previously believed undecodable, are the same
pooled/mislabeled-data artifact this campaign has hit before (AP-113's
precedent) — reading the function's own disassembly for the push imm32
preceding each constructor call resolves all three directly. messagetypes
is now a real ported construction (IsLegalChannel's 14-id whitelist +
LogTextTypeToString's name table + the exact join/wrap format) instead of
an acdream summary. Register row AP-184 retired.
Item 5: the main window's 1/2/3/4 indicator buttons now toggle their
floating chat window on click, per the user's retail memory overruling
the earlier decomp-only reading. UIElement_Button::HandleButtonClick has
its own generic click-driven action dispatch (property 0x12) reaching the
same DoVisibilityToggleAction the Alt+1..4 keybinds use; the button
fixture confirms this half is genuinely armed, but the floating-window
fixture authors no matching listener-registration property, so the
generic mechanism has no proven target in the data on hand. Per
CLAUDE.md, the user's retail memory is the axiom regardless:
ChatWindowController.BindIndicatorClicks wires each indicator's click
through the same ToggleFloatingChatWindow chokepoint the keybinds use,
as explicit user-directed retail behavior. SetIndicatorOpen stays the
sole writer of the Selected mirror so the visual stays consistent
through the click round trip.
Full reconciliation in docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-window-shell.md
§1.4. Campaign plan gets the round-4 findings section; items 1+2

Runtime's contract is ONE update thread per session for its whole
lifetime — RuntimePhysicsState.EnsureCollisionMutationThread enforces it
for collision generations (bind-first-mutator, refuse migration), and
the entity directory, physics publication, and placement channel all
document the same assumption without enforcing it. The graphical host
satisfies the contract with its game-loop thread. The headless host
violated it structurally: HeadlessProcessScheduler.RunAsync drove ticks
through await Task.Delay(...).ConfigureAwait(false), and a console app
has no SynchronizationContext, so each resumption could land on a
different ThreadPool worker. Any collision generation spanning two waits
then tripped the guard — reproduced 3/3 against live ACE at
[wake] begin gen=1 (see docs/ISSUES.md #368).
Fix shape (headless-only; zero shared Runtime changes, so the graphical
host is untouched by construction):
- HeadlessProcessScheduler.Run(CancellationToken) replaces RunAsync: the
same deadline math, counters, and NormalizeTimerDelay clamp, but fully
synchronous on the calling thread. Waits go through one rearmed
TimeProvider timer signalling an event (WaitHandle.WaitAny with the
cancellation handle), so the loop never leaves its thread and returns
normally on cancellation.
- HeadlessProcessHost.RunAsync now spawns one named dedicated thread
("acdream-headless-update") that owns Start (the live connect
transaction), every scheduler turn, and the post-loop resource
captures, bridged to the same Task<HeadlessExitCode> via a
TaskCompletionSource. Start had to move too: the first
collision-mutating call can happen during connect, and binding the
guard on the caller's thread would trip the very first dedicated tick.
Disposal stays on the lifecycle thread, which the Runtime teardown
path explicitly supports (ResetSessionPhysics's doc comment) and every
prior graceful-teardown run exercised.
New test ProcessHostRunsStartAndEveryTickOnOneDedicatedUpdateThread
pins the contract: Start and every tick share one thread that is not
the RunAsync caller's, across real timer waits (RED pre-fix — Start ran
on the caller's thread). SystemTimerCadenceDoesNotBusyLoopBetweenTurns
moved to the synchronous seam and still bounds WaitCount.
Verification: Headless suite 97/97; full Release suite 12,554 passed /
4 skipped / 0 failed; three live jump-probe runs against local ACE
(ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1) each crossed the collision generation cleanly
(205 entities hydrated, zero faults, policy completion, ACE-confirmed
graceful logout, converged disposed sample, exit 0) — pre-fix the same
recipe quarantined 3/3. The jump-airborne timeout persists 3/3 on the
fixed tree, refuting the #365 diagnosis's "threading artifact"
hypothesis for it — filed separately as #370.

SHOULD-FIX 1: RetailClientCommandCatalog's ~45 catalog leaf verbs were
showing acdream-authored Summary text for /help <verb> instead of
retail's own Detail_HelpType(2) text. Byte-swept every Help* handler
against the PDB-paired acclient.exe (verified MATCH), confirmed each
Detail/Summary branch by reading the actual decompiled if/else shape
(address order and string length both proved unreliable alone), and
fixed a sweep_weenie_strings.py 800-char truncation bug that silently
dropped several longer Detail branches. Resolved every ambiguous
CmdHashData-registered verb (hor/hr/hom/hoa/alh/ah/friends_add/
friends_remove/squelch/unsquelch) by reading for Binary Ninja's
nullptr-4th-arg decompiler artifact instead of trusting it. Coverage:
42 of 47 distinct catalog Definitions verbatim-extracted, 4
confirmed-null (index/clist/on/off register with a genuinely null help
pointer — DoHelp falls to UnknownCommand for these, now reproduced),
1 honest UNVERIFIED (messagetypes builds its text from a runtime enum
table, not a static string). ChatCommandRouter now prefers retail
Detail text over the catalog summary; RetailCommandHelpTable's class
doc no longer overclaims its own scope.
SHOULD-FIX 2: extracted the a5a7eb4f-class OnInterfaceText wiring into
a testable CreateChatViewModel method and added
ComposedChatViewModelWiresOnInterfaceTextToSpewBox, which the prior
FakeFactory-based test suite could never exercise.
SHOULD-FIX 3: retires register row AP-113. DoLifestone/DoMarketplace
print their own 0x1A refusal text (byte-recovered, UTF-16LE) instead
of falling through to the generic 0x26 fallback; ChatCommandRouter's
comment corrected to state the fallback's real scope.
SHOULD-FIX 4: corrected the divergence register's stale AP section
header sentence about AP-190's opacity default (refuted by cc582899).
NITs: (a) HeadlessStaticStateAudit routes through the injected
HeadlessDiagnosticWriter instead of Console.WriteLine; (b) a bounded
300-pump liveness diagnostic on the IsQuiescent conductor gate (no
retry, no behavior change); (c) fixed the #365 hydration test's doc
comment contradiction against diagnosis §8; (d) the 0x26 fallback
dispatches on WeenieErrorMessages' own Type instead of hardcoding
ClientLocal.

ChatVM gains an OnInterfaceText hook + ShowInterfaceText(text), the
App-layer composition wires it to RuntimeCommunicationState.AddText,
and ChatCommandRouter routes every retail-0x1A command refusal through
it instead of the chat log's 0x00 sink. UI.Abstractions still never
references Runtime directly; unwired hosts (headless, tests) fall back
to the chat log tagged ClientLocal so no text is ever silently lost.
Reclassified per register row AP-183 (DoChannelList/On/Off, DoAllegiance,
DoHouseAvailableList — the last also corrected to retail's own bad-house-
type string instead of a synthesized "Usage:" line) and newly wired two
sites that previously showed nothing at all (DoStupidChannelHack's bare
legacy-channel-verb refusal, DoReply's message-but-no-last-teller
refusal). The generic bad-args fallback now resolves WeenieErrorMessages
0x026 ("That is not a valid command.", retail's HandleFailureEvent(0x26))
instead of synthesizing "Usage: {Usage}". DoSpeaker/DoEndurance/DoTitle
are untouched — already correct at 0x00.
Also closes#367 (DoHelp's "Unknown command" fallback and the degenerate-
prefix refusal now reach the SpewBox too) and retires register row
AP-186, whose own filing proposed exactly this seam shape.

Root cause, confirmed by a full-production-wiring repro test rather than
guessed: InputAction.AcdreamToggleAudioMute was bound to Ctrl+M only in
KeyBindings.AcdreamCurrentDefaults() -- the pre-K.1c WASD-only preset,
whose own doc comment says it is preserved solely as a regression anchor
and is explicitly NOT the GameWindow startup source after K.1c.
KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() -- what KeyBindings.LoadOrDefault actually
falls back to when no keybinds.json exists on disk (the verified state
on the affected machine) -- has its own "Acdream debug actions" block
(Ctrl+F1/F2/F3/F7/F8/F9/F10, Ctrl+Shift+F) but never carried the Ctrl+M
mute binding over into it. The live dispatcher therefore had no Ctrl+M
entry in its binding table at all -- not a modifier-matching bug, not a
scope bug, not a retained-UI-capture bug. Same class as the a5a7eb4f
jump fix (two construction paths, one wired to production), except here
it's two default-binding-set methods rather than two controller
instances, and the binding was simply added to the wrong one. This also
explains the prior "loaded 152 bindings both before and after" mystery:
the count correctly didn't change, because the earlier addition went
into a method nothing in production loads or counts.
MuteChordDispatchTests.CtrlM_WithNoWidgetFocused_FiresAcdreamToggleAudioMute
reproduces the full production shape (real RetailDefaults(), the
dispatcher's actual default [Always, Game] scope stack -- production
never calls PushScope/PopScope anywhere, grepped clean across
src/AcDream.App -- and a synthetic Ctrl+M keydown) and failed with an
EMPTY fired collection before this fix, which is what pinpointed
"missing table entry" over the other ranked hypotheses. A second test,
CtrlM_WhileAnyWidgetHoldsKeyboardFocus_IsSuppressed, pins a separate but
real mechanism found along the way (InputDispatcher.OnKeyDown returns
before FindActive when WantCaptureKeyboard is true, and production wires
that to "any focused widget", not just chat text entry) that was ruled
out as #358's cause since the baseline repro failed with nothing
focused.
Fix: KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() now also binds Ctrl+M to
AcdreamToggleAudioMute. Retail's own keymap has no Ctrl+M binding, so
this doesn't collide with anything retail-faithful. #358 closed in
ISSUES.md with the confirmed mechanism; connected verification (does
Ctrl+M actually mute in a live client) is still owed -- this session's
hard constraints excluded client launches.

BLOCKER: ChatSettings.DefaultOpacity shipped retail's base ChatInterface
value (0.5) as ONE shared global default applied to every
RetailWindowManager-registered window, not just the four floating chat
windows retail itself fades. That faded the whole out-of-box registered
UI (radar, vitals, toolbar, main chat, ...) to 50% opacity, including
several windows that can never take keyboard focus and so were stuck at
0.5 permanently. Fixed to gmMainChatUI's 1.0/1.0 override
(0x004CD0F0) instead — retail-identical opaque presentation for the 11
non-chat windows and the main chat window; only the four floating chat
windows now diverge from retail's 0.5-while-idle default, and the
Settings -> Chat transparency slider remains fully user-settable.
AP-190 reworded and gains two new decomp-verified clauses: (3) retail
eases opacity toward its target by 5% of the delta per tick
(ChatInterface::ListenToGlobalMessage @0x004F3840, armed from the focus
element-messages at @0x004F5275) where acdream snaps -- deferred, needs
a UI frame-tick hook the opacity controller doesn't have; (4) retail's
focus predicate is the chat ENTRY FIELD specifically
(ChatInterface::IsTextEntryFocused @0x004F30A0) where acdream uses
any-focusable-descendant. Both findings + the pre-existing UiMenu.cs
PushAlphaAbsolute(1f) popup bypass are folded into the window-shell
research doc's opacity section.
NITs: fixed the stale "text bypasses the alpha" comment in
UiElement.DrawSelfAndChildren (CH6c already routed DrawStringDat/
DrawString through the same ApplyAlpha chokepoint as sprites/rects);
added RetailWindowManager.WindowUnregistered + wired
RetailWindowOpacityController to detach and forget a window unregistered
while it held focus (previously only Dispose detached, leaking any
window unregistered mid-focus for the rest of the session); added
post-Dispose no-op guards to the three Set* opacity mutators; added a
DrawString (BitmapFont path) alpha regression test and a DrawStringDat
outline/background-pass alpha test (the existing tests only ever
exercised the foreground/fill pass).
Also fixes RuntimeSettingsControllerTests.SettingsViewModelSavePreserves
SectionAndTargetOrder's now-stale "target-chat-opacity:0.5:1" expectation
(caught by the full-suite run this fix requires) to match the new 1.0
default.

Retail's ChatInterface::SetOpacity (0x004F3120) fades the WHOLE composited
window surface with one alpha; UiRenderContext.ApplyAlpha already gated
DrawSprite/DrawRect/DrawFill (since 1da697ec, pre-CH6) but DrawStringDat and
DrawString still passed applyAlpha:false, so text stayed sharp over a
translucent window. Both now route through the same chokepoint.
RetailWindowOpacityController (new) subscribes to a new
RetailWindowManager.WindowRegistered event and drives every registered
window's live Opacity from keyboard-focus state, applied to EVERY window
(chat, floaties, vitals, toolbar, ...) rather than retail's ChatInterface-only
scope — register row AP-190, retiring the stale AP-40 "fixed 0.75, no focus
transition" row in the same commit.
Verified retail's shipped opacity defaults from the decomp (constructor
literals, no cdb needed): the base ChatInterface ctor sets
DefaultOpacity=0.5/ActiveOpacity=1.0, kept unmodified by the four floating
windows; gmMainChatUI's own ctor overrides the main window to 1.0/1.0
(always fully opaque). acdream ships one shared global default (0.5/1.0)
rather than replicating the per-class override — also AP-190. The linking
invariant (raising default above active drags active UP; lowering active
below default drags default DOWN — never a clamp) is ported verbatim as
ChatOpacityLink in AcDream.UI.Abstractions, shared by the live controller
and the new Settings -> Chat tab's two linked opacity sliders.
Persistence: ChatSettings.DefaultOpacity/ActiveOpacity round-trip through
SettingsStore; Save pushes both through IRuntimeSettingsTargets.SetChatOpacity
into the live controller, no restart required.
Rider (CH6a/b re-review): strengthened the grip-media regression guard past
a bare SpriteFile != 0 check — ChatLayoutConformanceTests now drives each
live grip through a real UiRenderContext/TextRenderer (backed by the
in-memory RecordingGpuDevice test double) and asserts the draw call chain
actually queued sprite geometry, via a new TextRenderer.DebugSpriteSegments
test-only accessor.
Full Release suite 12,459 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,420/4/0). No subagents, no client launches (session hard constraints);
pending the next connected user gate for visual confirmation.

Applies docs/research/2026-08-10-ch6ab-review-findings.md in full:
- BLOCKER 1: UiResizeGrip now carries its ElementInfo/resolve pair and
draws its own authored DirectState media (a synthetic parameterless
grip still draws nothing, preserving existing resize-drag tests).
DatWidgetFactory.BuildResizeGrip threads resolve through. All seven
live grips on the main chat window now resolve a non-zero sprite,
restoring the visible borders/corners CH6a silently dropped.
- SHOULD-FIX 2: ChatWindowState gains BroadcastTargetWindow, a sentinel
distinct from every real window id (0-4), fixing the bug where the
main window's explicit-addressing branch coincided with the broadcast
check (both were literal 0). SetFilter's main-window no-op is dropped
— the main window's filter is now genuinely settable. ChatWindowController
.Bind takes a ChatWindowState (the same canonical instance the floating
windows already share) and GetTranscriptLines builds a real accept
predicate instead of accept:null. Verified safe: ClientLocal (0x1A)
never reaches ChatLog (AddText routes it to the SpewBox and returns),
so nothing observable regresses.
- SHOULD-FIX 3: UiButton.SuppressSelfToggle stops the four chat-window
indicator buttons (DAT property 0x0B=true, no retail click handler)
from flipping their own Selected mirror on a stray click.
- SHOULD-FIX 4: generated and committed chat_floaty_2100005b.json from
the real installed dats; added the permanent RetailLayoutFixtureGenerator
entry. All three flagged FloatingChatWindowController assumptions
(input field, title bar, close button) are confirmed correct against
real data — no controller code changes needed. New finding: unlike the
main window, ALL EIGHT floaty border/corner elements are live Type-9
grips (the floaty's own title bar is its move handle), so a floaty
window resizes from every edge and corner.
- SHOULD-FIX 5: register row AP-189 documents the shared-500-entry/
200-line-tail vs retail's per-window 10,000-line scrollback depth gap.
- NITs 1-5: documented the filter-persistence-only-on-/saveautoui
asymmetry and the reconnect-preserves-filters intent; corrected the
research doc's modifier-mask mislabel and the "ONLY function" false
superlative; moved WrapText off ChatWindowController onto
ChatTranscriptRenderer, closing the circular dependency.
Full Release suite: 12,420 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline

Mounts retail's four floating chat windows as always-resident, born-hidden
children per gmGamePlayUI::SetupChildren @0x004E9EC0, all sharing LayoutDesc
0x2100005B (window ids 0x10000505/0x1000050E/0x1000050F/0x10000510). New
FloatingChatWindowController (AcDream.App/UI/Layout) binds each window's own
widget tree — built fresh per instance from one shared imported ElementInfo
— reusing ChatWindowController's word-wrap + retail color-carry algorithm via
the extracted ChatTranscriptRenderer instead of duplicating it. A floaty
window has no talk-focus menu (research doc §2.2), so its entry field always
sends on Say; the mismatch against retail's possible shared-channel behavior
is UNVERIFIED and filed as #369/AP-188.
Runtime owns the per-window filter/open state: ChatWindowState (new,
AcDream.Core.Chat) seeds retail's exact PostInit defaults per window
(window 1 0x0000101C Speech/Tell/DirectSend/Emote, window 2 0x00040C00
Social/SocialSend/Allegiance, window 3 0x00080000 Fellowship, window 4
0x78000000 Turbine General/Trade/LFG/Roleplay) and implements the full
ShouldDisplay(windowId, targetWindowId, logTextType) display predicate from
ChatInterface::RecvNotice_DisplayFinalStringInfo @0x004F4640. It lives on
RuntimeCommunicationState.ChatWindows so every host borrows the same
instance. The main window's filter (0xFBFFFFFF, "no user filter") never
actually gates anything because its own explicit-address branch already
covers every broadcast line — that's why UpdateFromPlayerModule early-returns
for window 0 in retail, ported here by construction rather than a special
case.
Keybind wiring: InputAction.ToggleFloatingChatWindow1..4 and their
KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() chords already existed since Phase K.1c
(unwired until now). The MetaKeys table confirms retail's default is Alt+1
through Alt+4 (index 3 = bit 0x00000004, cross-checked against the same
file's Alt+A/D strafe and Alt+Enter/Tab/F4 rows). Routes through
GameplayInputCommandController -> RetainedGameplayWindowCommands ->
RetailUiRuntime.ToggleFloatingChatWindow -> the generic UiHost.ToggleWindow,
whose visibility-change event is the single chokepoint that syncs
ChatWindowState.SetOpen and mirrors the main window's 1-4 indicator button
regardless of what changed a window's visibility (keybind, close button, or
a restored layout).
A direct decomp read of gmMainChatUI::ListenToElementMessage @0x004CDA80 —
the only function in the whole binary that branches on a click message —
settles what the research doc had left as a hedge: it handles exactly
0x1000046f (max/min) and the talk-focus menu's selection message, with NO
case for 0x10000522-0x10000525. The four indicator buttons are PURE
one-directional mirrors in retail; clicking them does nothing.
ChatWindowController.SetIndicatorOpen ports this with no OnClick at all.
Corrected research doc §1.4 accordingly.
Persistence is local-only (register row AP-187; the retail 0x1000008C
GameplayOptions wire remains deferred to CH6f): window geometry and
open/visible state ride the existing generic RetailWindowLayoutPersistence
path for free once each window registers under its own WindowNames entry;
the four filter masks get a dedicated ChatSettings round-trip
(ChatWindow1Filter..ChatWindow4Filter, defaulting to the retail PostInit
constants) loaded at mount and saved alongside SaveLayout().
Tests: ChatWindowStateTests (defaults, TypeIsActive, the full display-rule
matrix, toggle/reset, revision counter), FloatingChatWindowControllerTests
(bind smoke tests against a synthetic 0x2100005B tree, per-window filter
routing, filter-change cache invalidation, fixed-Say submit), new
ChatWindowController.SetIndicatorOpen tests (Highlight/Normal state,
cross-window isolation, range validation), GameplayInputCommandController
routing for the four toggle actions, and a SettingsStore filter round-trip.
Full Release suite: 12,392 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Root cause (measured live via ACDREAM_PROBE_PARK=1): HeadlessSessionWorldProjection
drove the first-entry conductor unconditionally, including while
HeadlessCollisionNeighborhood's own 3x3 publication plan held a genuinely open
RuntimeCollisionAdmission for the local player's landblock. Every
TrySealCollisionEvaluationAuthority attempt during that window failed
(IsCollisionEvaluationPrefixAdmissible false) and retried forever without
recovering — measured verdict: "seal-refused" repeating with no preceding
[rearm] verdict= line (the operation never even reached the AwaitingCell park).
This is the diagnosis doc's "structural half" mechanism; no evidence of the
"circular HasOldPrefixPlacementDebt" hypothesis was observed, so that shape
was not needed.
Step 1 (enabler): HeadlessStaticStateAudit.ValidateProcessIsolation now takes
sessionCount and only refuses process-global physics probes for
sessionCount > 1 — its own multi-root-attribution rationale never applied to
a single session, and it was blocking the exact probe built to diagnose this
class of stall.
Step 3a (root cause): new IHeadlessCollisionNeighborhood.IsQuiescent gates
ProjectSpawn/ProjectPosition/PumpFirstEntry's conductor-drive calls — the
conductor is never driven while the neighborhood's own publication owns
collision authority for that tick.
Step 4 (defense-in-depth): HeadlessLocalPlayerFrameHost.CanAdvancePlayer now
requires Controller.CanExecuteLiveMovement instead of just a non-null
controller — the headless-only gap that turned the (now-fixed) hydration
stall into a hard crash reaching SuspendObjectUpdate on a dormant controller.
RuntimeLocalPlayerFrameController's three shared entry points gained the same
guard, contract-preserving for the graphical host.
Verified end-to-end against live ACE (jump-probe policy, three runs):
hydration succeeds cleanly (136 entities load vs. 0 before), no seal-refused
spam, no crash from the original bug, graceful logout every time. Full
airborne-transition confirmation is blocked by a separate, newly-discovered,
pre-existing defect filed as #368 (the headless scheduler's
Task.Delay(...).ConfigureAwait(false) tick loop can resume on a different
ThreadPool thread mid collision-generation, tripping
EnsureCollisionMutationThread) — explicitly out of scope here, not mentioned
anywhere in the #365 diagnosis, and unsafe to fix without graphical-host
verification this session was constrained not to perform.
New tests: the real-admission hydration test (fails on the pre-Step-3a tree,
verified by temporarily reverting the three gates and confirming failure,
then restoring), the PumpFirstEntry quiescence-gate test, the
CanAdvancePlayer publication-lifecycle test, the dormant-controller
sabotage tests for RuntimeLocalPlayerFrameController, and the audit
single/multi-session tests. RuntimeLocalPlayerPhysicsPublicationStateTests
is untouched.

User-gate round 3 findings (a)-(c):
(a) SpewBox: TopOffset moves from the round-1 60px placeholder to 0 (flush
to the viewport top). SpewBoxController never wired DatFont/Font at all
before this round, so it silently rendered through the 15px debug
BitmapFont fallback; it now resolves retail dat Font 0x40000025
(MaxCharHeight=11px) through a new RetailUiRuntime.Assets accessor —
the smallest font id confirmed in use by any currently-imported retail
LayoutDesc fixture, cross-referenced against every
tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/fixtures/*.json dump and confirmed
against the installed DAT via AcDream.Cli dump-font-atlas. It is also the
chat window's own smallest font (the 0x2100006F floating-window 1/2/3/4
indicator badges), so both selection criteria the brief offered agree.
Both remain best-available approximations, not resolved retail values —
register row AP-178 updated accordingly.
(b)/(c) /help and /help death: round 2 extracted the individual retail
strings byte-exact but never traced ClientCommunicationSystem::DoHelp's
complete print sequence. Byte-swept DoHelp's own range plus the five
Summary-branch functions it calls into (HelpEmote/HelpSquelch/
HelpStatusGroup/HelpTextGroup/HelpAllGroup) against the PDB-paired
acclient.exe. Retail's real shape: bare /help prints exactly TWO scroll
entries (HelpPrefixNote, then the 13-item AvailableHelpListing built from
DoHelp's own literals and each group's Summary_HelpType branch, in exact
source order) — not the acdream-invented cheat sheet BuildHelpText()
built before. Any resolved /help <verb> gets the SAME two-entry shape:
HelpPrefixNote, then ForMoreInformationPrefix concatenated directly onto
the verb's own Detail text (retail's own unsubstituted "<command>"
literal, ported verbatim). ChatCommandRouter.EmitVerbHelp applies this
uniformly to every resolved verb, not just death. An unresolved verb now
shows retail's real "Unknown command" fallback text; that fallback types
0x1A (ClientLocal), which retail routes to the SpewBox exclusively — a
gap ChatVM's UI.Abstractions layer can't yet reach, filed as ISSUES #367
/ register AP-186 rather than left silently unregistered.
Jump-in-air (round 2's open item 1) was root-caused and fixed separately
at a5a7eb4f between rounds — recorded in the campaign ledger.
Debug suite (all projects): 12,329 passed / 4 skipped / 1 failed — the
one failure is issue #351, a pre-existing Debug-only streaming flake
confirmed reproducing identically on the pristine pre-round-3 commit via
git stash, not a regression. Release verification covers every project
reachable without rebuilding AcDream.App: a live client process (PID
15064) held its own Release binaries locked for the session and was not
killed per project policy — AcDream.UI.Abstractions.Tests (867/867, the
layer both /help fixes live in) plus every other non-App-dependent
project, all 0 failed. AcDream.App/AcDream.App.Tests/AcDream.Core.Tests
(the SpewBox fix's layer) are green in Debug only this session.

Round-3 probe evidence pinpointed it: '[jump] ReportJumpRefusal
result=NotGrounded hasCallback=False' — the edge detection, OnWalkable
clearing, and refusal dispatch all worked; the callback was null because
CommitRuntimeOwnedController (the C3c production publication path) writes
_controller directly and never applied _onInterfaceText the way the
internal setter does. Two install paths, one wired. Regression test pins
the commit path.

Swap ChatWindowController's imported main-chat LayoutDesc from the wrong
0x21000006 (an unrelated layout whose root and 800px resize bar appear
nowhere in the EoR gameplay UI) to retail's ACTUAL main chat window,
0x2100006F (window root 0x10000600, authored 410x100 — confirmed by a
direct DAT dump, found in dats.Local not dats.Portal). Every downstream
compensation that existed only to paper over the wrong import is deleted:
the hand-cropped 490px content width, the dropped 800px resize bar, the
9px transcript patch, the orphan-sibling pruning, the max/min-vs-scrollbar
overlap shift, and the scrollbar top-reclaim. The window now mounts with
RetailWindowChrome.Imported (0x2100006F's own 8 border/corner elements are
its complete chrome) instead of the universal nine-slice wrapper.
LayoutImporter/DatWidgetFactory gain a Type-9 (UIElement_Resizebar) case:
UiResizeGrip decodes retail's exact four-bool BorderLocation algorithm
(0x2A=bottom/0x2B=left/0x2C=right/0x2D=top,
UIElement_Resizebar::StartMouseResizing @0x0046B7E0) into a ResizeEdges
bitmask. A direct DAT dump established the true shape: only 7 of the 8
grip-position ids are Type 9 — the straight top-EDGE strip (0x1000069C) is
a Type-2 Dragbar (move handle), not a Resizebar, because the main window
has no title bar. UiRoot now gives a directly-hit grip's own edges
priority over its generic proximity heuristic, and a directly-hit move
handle the same priority over ambient proximity — so the plain top strip
moves the window while its two corner grips resize it including the Y
axis, and all 4 edges + 4 corners work everywhere else. This also fixes
the reported "no diagonal cursor at corners" (CursorFeedbackController's
existing RetailCursorCatalog cursor ids already matched the DAT exactly;
they just never received a genuine diagonal edge combination) and "cannot
grow in Y from the bottom-right corner" (the old NineSlice+crop mount's
indirection is gone; the Imported mount uses the DAT's real
minH=100/maxH=2000/minW=300/maxW=2000 directly).
The 8 cosmetic "_Locked" border-art twins default hidden (register row
AP-185 — retail's UiLocked-driven art swap between the two skins is not
ported; UiRoot.UiLocked continues to gate the underlying interaction
correctly either way). The 4 chat-window-1..4 indicator buttons import
generically (visible, inert) for CH6b to wire. The two hand-drawn
translucent-black tints on the transcript/input are removed now that
their parent panels draw their own authored background sprites.
Filed #366 (chat window's new-unseen-text indicator 0x1000048C is
swallowed by UiText.ConsumesDatChildren, pre-existing and out of scope).
Corrected the research doc's "all eight grips" claim against the direct
DAT dump. Full Release suite: 12,317 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Item 2: retail's portal-space "In Portal Space..." notice is the SpewBox
(ECM_UI::SendNotice_DisplayStringInfo(0x1A,...) -> AddTextToScroll(str,
0x1A, 1, 0), hardcoded to the SpewBox per the decomp), not a dedicated
centered overlay. PortalWaitNoticeController and its lease are deleted;
PortalTunnelPresentation's per-rotation-segment cadence now writes
straight into RuntimeCommunicationState.AddText(ClientLocal) -- the
SpewBox's own dedupe-at-index-0 handles the repetition exactly as
retail's does. Register row AP-184 records the surface fix and the AP-178
scope extension.
Items 4+5: /help text was partially fabricated -- the user caught the
"/help death" meta-message. Generalized
tools/pdb-extract/sweep_weenie_strings.py to decode narrow
PStringBase<char> literals (the ClientCommunicationSystem::Help* family's
shape) alongside its original UTF-16LE support, then swept every
HelpXxxGroup function's exact byte extent against the PDB-paired
acclient.exe. 4 of 7 group topics (death/status/text/allegiances) are now
complete verbatim listings; the other 3 (channels/chatting/commands) keep
an honest UNVERIFIED note citing HelpStupidChannelHack @0x0056f290 (a
genuinely undecodable BN-mislabeled-fragment mechanism) instead of the
old fabricated sentinel. 7 of ~35 channel one-liners are also now
verbatim. ISSUES.md #364 tracks the remainder;
RetailCommandHelpTableTests.cs pins every result byte-exact.
Item 1: jump-in-air refusal still silent live is NOT reproduced and NOT
speculatively fixed. Exhaustive static re-audit found the mechanism
correct by construction (single-writer OnWalkable, exactly-once-per-frame
Update()/Capture(), no interfering edge-history resets). A live headless
repro (new jump-probe bot policy, real ACE connect) was blocked --
probeaccount2 has no character, and the graphical client already owned
testaccount this session so the task's own fallback rule forbade using
it. Two temporary probes are left behind ACDREAM_PROBE_JUMP=1 (blocked
entirely in Headless by the existing multi-session static-state guard --
graphical-only for the next round).
Item 3 confirmed fixed, no regression. Item 6 (resize: no diagonal
cursors, cannot grow Y from bottom-right) folded into CH6a's existing
scope.

The user tested Campaign CH's CODE-COMPLETE build live and reported ten
defects (docs/plans/2026-08-09-chat-parity-campaign.md, "User gate —
round 1"). Items A-G are fixed here; the remaining three (extra chat
windows on 1/2/3/4, resize working in only one corner, transparency/
artifacts) are out of scope for a fix and filed as slice CH6.
A. Jump-in-air refusal never fired live: the jump block only ever
evaluated input.Jump inside the grounded-charge or already-charging
branches. PlayerMovementController now detects the press RISING EDGE
while airborne and reports WeenieError.NotGrounded once per press,
leaving the grounded charge/fire path untouched.
B. ChatVM's invented "[System] " prefix is dropped — retail prints
system text bare. [Popup] is unchanged (AP-175).
C. SpewBoxController's color is now the user-pinned exact value
(1, 1, 0.247, 1), the same bright yellow as an incoming Tell.
Register row AP-178 updated: color CLOSES, size/position/font stay
open per the user's live report that they still differ.
D. Closes#329: PortalTunnelPresentation now emits the portal wait cue
unconditionally on every rotation-segment boundary, matching
gmSmartBoxUI::UseTime's decompiled else-arm exactly instead of gating
on a 5-second hold local transits never reached. PortalWaitNotice
Controller now renders it in the same pinned yellow as item C.
Register row AP-150 retired.
E. Closes#362: new ClientCommandResponses.cs parses and renders the
four previously-unhandled inbound GameEvents (ChannelIndex,
ChannelList, AvailableHouses, AllegianceInfoResponse), each ported
line-for-line from the named-retail decomp's inbound handlers.
Register row TS-70 retired.
F. ChatWindowController.WrapText now splits on embedded '\n'/'\r\n'
first, then word-wraps each segment independently — server text like
/help's reply no longer collapses onto one line.
G. The chat input field's right edge no longer holds a fixed absolute
pixel position across a window resize; Bind now upgrades it to
retail edge-mode 1 (UiLayoutPolicy) or the AnchorEdges.Right stretch
fallback so it tracks the window's client width instead of
overflowing past a narrower resize.
Full Release suite: 12,247 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline

Should-fix 1: RetailDialogFactory.CloseDialog's queued branch removed the
active DialogInfo, ran DialogDone (whose callback can synchronously open a
new dialog under the SAME queue key — the two-stage house-abandon
confirmation does exactly this), then called OpenNextDialog, which did an
unconditional Dictionary.Add on a key the reentrant dialog had already
re-occupied. Retail's HashTable::add tolerates the duplicate; Dictionary
throws. OpenNextDialog now returns early when the queue key is already
active — the reentrant dialog's own eventual close drains the queue.
Should-fix 2: @join/@leave wrote the local RuntimeCharacterOptionsState bit
before sending, but the Settings Chat toggles reached a second binding
(SendSingleCharacterOption) that only sent the wire message, leaving the
Turbine membership gate stale until the next PlayerDescription.
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory.CreateCommandBindings now has one shared local
function for both entrances.
Should-fix 3: corrected TS-68/#360 wording again — retail's DoAllegiance
dispatcher table EXECUTES boot/ban/officer/title/motd/name/lock/house/
chat/broadcast locally through their own handlers; acdream shows the
unrecognized-subcommand refusal for all nine pending the #360 port. What
matches retail is the ownership rule (the verb never reaches
DoChannelCommand/the server), not the subcommand behavior itself. Removed
the inaccurate "matching retail, not merely harmless" / "now matches
this" claims from both the register row and the issue.
Nits: corrected the HouseAbandonDialogCallback_First citation (0x00580E1A
is DoHouse's load site for the callback pointer, not the function entry —
the entry is 0x00580240, with the stage-2 confirmation string built at
0x005802D8) in both ClientCommandController.cs and the mirrored test
comment; added an InlineData case pinning "@clist allegiance" to
RequestChannelList(0x02000000); converted RetailClientCommandCatalog.
KnownVerbs from a plain array to a FrozenSet<string> with
StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase, matching the file's other lookup tables.

Blocker 1: an unrecognized "@allegiance <sub>" subcommand escaped
TryMatchAllegiance (which only claimed "info"/"hometown") and fell through
the unregistered-tag channel fallback, broadcasting the raw subcommand
text to the Allegiance chat channel (0x02000000). Retail's own
DoAllegiance never reaches DoChannelCommand for an unrecognized
subcommand — it claims the whole verb and prints its own client-local
refusal. TryMatchAllegiance now claims "allegiance"/"all" unconditionally
and shows retail's "Please see @help Allegiance..." text; ChatCommandRouter
also gained a blanket RetailClientCommandCatalog.KnownVerbs ownership
guard in TryDispatchChannelFallback as defense in depth.
Blocker 2: "@house abandon" sent 0x021F immediately with no confirmation.
Retail runs a real two-stage dialog before Event_AbandonHouse(); ported
both verbatim strings and chained two ShowConfirmation calls.
Should-fixes: a bare unregistered tag with no text now passes through
silently instead of showing a refusal that belongs to a different retail
function; @join/@leave update RuntimeCharacterOptionsState locally (new
SetOptionBit) before the wire push so the Turbine membership gate stops
refusing a just-joined room; @permit accepts multi-word names; @clist/
@on/@off validate shape only and raise WeenieError 0x422 for an unknown
tag; @mr/@pr help text is now the verbatim retail strings; corrected
issue #360, register row TS-68, the campaign doc's B.7 note, and a stale
RetailChannelTagTable comment; filed issue #363 + register row AP-183 for
the deferred error-typing debt.
Nits: fixed TryMatchHouse's stale doc comment, the AP-182/@title "stores
the value" comments (the binding is a no-op), IsUnregisteredFallbackTag's
olthoi false-positive, added /g and /rp binding-level conformance pins,
made @index ignore extra arguments, and noted the six removed invented
verbs in ISSUES.md.

retail registry (130 registered verbs + 22 unregistered GetChannelID
fallback tags = 152 client-parsed verbs), per
docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-command-registry.md.
Parser semantics (retail OnChatCommand/DoCommand):
- : and ; rewrite to "@emote <rest>" before dispatch.
- Verb trailing-comma trim ("@f, hi" == "@f hi") applied at every
verb-lookup site in the catalog and the parser.
- @tell/aliases split the target on the FIRST COMMA, not the first
whitespace token, so multi-word names work ("@tell Aunt Agatha, hi").
- The 22 unregistered GM/faction channel tags (admin, sentinel,
celestialhand, ...) now broadcast for real via a new
RetailChannelTagTable + SendRawChannelCmd bypass, reusing the existing
BuildChatChannel wire builder.
Binding corrections:
- /g, /group, /party -> Fellowship (0x800), not General.
- /rp -> reply alias (retail's own help text confirms "@r or @rp"), not
Roleplay; /role (an acdream invention) deleted.
- /allegiance, /all -> the allegiance management command
(RetailClientCommandCatalog), not a channel verb.
- /house no longer swallows unrecognized subcommands with a local usage
error; they now correctly fall through to ACE.
- @mr/@pr pinned as permanently non-executable (retail registers them
with a null function pointer).
New verbs with real local execution: endurance, speaker, title (silent,
AP-182), chat, notell, join, leave, permit, hslist, index, clist, on,
off, alh/ah (+ "@allegiance hometown"/"ho"), "@allegiance info",
"@house abandon"; a missing-alias sweep across pkl/hou/message_types/
msgtypes/msg_types/rt/send/whisper/w/vassal/covassal/co-vassals/c/
fellows/group/party/guild/gu/cg/ct/clfg/crp/soc/o; the non-retail
inventions gen/cv/lookingforgroup/tr/role/h are deleted. New Core.Net
wire builders (IndexChannels, ListChannels, AddChannel, RemoveChannel,
RecallAllegianceHometown, AllegianceInfoRequest, ListAvailableHouses,
AddPlayerPermission, RemovePlayerPermission, AbandonHouse) are all
parameterless or single-field payloads cross-checked against ACE's
GameAction readers, not guessed.
Deferred (filed as #360/#361/#362, register rows TS-68/TS-69/TS-70):
the ~22 remaining allegiance/house subcommands + standalone @motd
(largest single item, needs its own slice per the doc), the three
still-inert pure-local commands (day/log/render), and the inbound
GameEvent responses for the new outbound requests. All correctly fall
through to ACE server-passthrough rather than being silently swallowed
or faking success.
RetailCommandRegistryConformanceTests pins the complete 152-verb
registry against production: every verb resolves through exactly one
production surface if Implemented, through none if HelpOnly/
ServerPassthrough, and two reverse-direction tests fail the build if
RetailClientCommandCatalog or ChatInputParser ever claims a verb
outside this registry again. Final tally: 138 Implemented / 5
ServerPassthrough / 9 HelpOnly = 152.
Release suite: 12,190 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (up from CH3's
11,964/4/0).

Applies the Opus review of Campaign CH slice CH3 (614a1e05):
- B1: UN-9 was a phantom divergence — ACE's CharacterOptions1.cs:47
OR-sum is 0x50C4A54A (its own comment confirms 1355064650), identical
to acdream's literal. The wrong 0x50C48D4A existed only in the research
doc. Row deleted, register §5 reverted to 4 rows, research doc corrected
with dated notes.
- S1/S4: AllegianceBroadcast (0x02000000) is a server-echoing channel —
ACE's GameActionChatChannel handler includes the sender in its real-name
Allegiance.Members broadcast (retail's DoAllegianceBroadcast has no
AddTextToScroll), so the client must skip its local optimistic echo, not
keep it. ChatChannelInfo.Legacy.IsSelfEchoChannel() now returns true for
it; RouteLegacyChannel's comment corrected; Turbine.IsSelfEchoChannel()'s
backwards comment rewritten truthfully.
- S3: retail's /a stays on the legacy AllegianceBroadcast bitflag until
StartupTurbineChatSystem successfully starts Turbine chat — "never
started" (TurbineChatState.Enabled == false) now falls back to legacy in
both LiveSessionCommandRouter.RouteChat and
DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter.TrySendChannel, while "enabled but no
allegiance room" still correctly refuses locally.
- S5: added a LiveSessionEventRouter test proving the Options.Replace ->
OnCharacterOptionsChanged seeding order, and RuntimeSettingsTargets /
GameWindowLiveSessionOwnershipTests tests proving the concrete
ICommandBus.Publish wiring and the single LiveSessionCommandSurface
construction site.
- S6: AP-181 rewritten to name both of retail's omitted pre-send checks
(IsMessageSafe silent-drop, then IsMessageSpam) and stop misattributing
either to RouteLegacyChannel, which has no such gates.
- N1-N7: CharacterOptionId moved below SocialActions so its doc comment
re-attaches; TurbineChatMembershipGate reuses TurbineChatDisplayNames
instead of a duplicate table; the gate-to-refusal-text mapping is now
shared via TurbineChatMembershipGate.ResolveRefusalText instead of
duplicated in both hosts; ChatSettings.Default now matches ACE's real
CharacterOptions2.Default (Roleplay/Society start off); a doc-comment
clarifies only the five Hear toggles are server-backed; the register's
§3 header recounted 129 -> 128.
Suite: 11,964 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 11,957/4/0 + 7 new
tests). Campaign ledger CH3 review column updated to APPROVE-WITH-FIXES.

Ports retail's SendTurbineChat (@0x0057db10) local pre-send membership gate
so Roleplay/Society/Olthoi stop silently swallowing outbound chat: a new
TurbineChatMembershipGate checks Turbine availability and the player's own
Hear*Chat option before sending, raising "Turbine chat is not available."
or the 0x0551 YouAreNotListeningTo_Channel refusal through the CH2 AddText
chokepoint instead. Wired into both the graphical (LiveSessionCommandRouter)
and headless (DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter) send paths so they can't
diverge. Retracts the 26-day-old false "ACE doesn't run a TurbineChat
server" claim from ISSUES.md, the roadmap, and project_chat_pipeline.md —
ACE's TurbineChat implementation is complete and on by default; the real
bug was treating Hear*Chat as a display filter instead of room membership.
Also: implements SetSingleCharacterOption (0x0005), the only wire message
that actually joins/leaves a Turbine room, and wires the five Settings Chat
toggles to it (publish on Save, changed bits only) plus seeds ChatSettings
from the server's own CharacterOptions2 on every PlayerDescription. Fixes
the legacy-channel double-print (Fellow/Vassals/Patron/Monarch/CoVassals
skip the local echo now that ChatChannelInfo.IsSelfEchoChannel is finally
consulted). Routes /a to Turbine unconditionally (retail's @a never falls
back to the legacy bitflag) and adds /ab for the legacy AllegianceBroadcast
verb retail actually has. Surfaces a nonzero TurbineChat ack HResult instead
of discarding it silently. Deletes the malformed, callerless SetCharacterOptions
(0x01A1) and AddChannel/RemoveChannel (0x0145/0x0146) builders.
Files every AC-specific algorithm change cites the named retail decomp
(SendTurbineChat 0x0057db10, StartupTurbineChatSystem 0x0057EFB0,
GameActionSetSingleCharacterOption) plus ACE/holtburger cross-checks.
Register rows AP-181 (no client-side spam throttle) and UN-9 (an
incidentally-discovered CharacterOptions1.Default literal mismatch, not
investigated further) filed per the divergence-register rule.
11,957 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (full Release suite, up from the
11,916/4/0 baseline).

Applies the seven NITs from the CH2 re-review (verdict APPROVE-WITH-FIXES,
following the REJECT->rework at e0e78883):
1. SpewBoxController's centered Left was captured once via
AnchorEdges.Top and replayed forever on resize (UiElement.ApplyAnchor's
Left/Right-both-false branch pins a fixed margin). Anchors is now
AnchorEdges.None and Tick recomputes Left every frame against the
current root width.
2. OneLine=false was defaulting to UiText's bottom-pinned transcript flow
(VerticalJustify honored only via ConfigureDatState, which this
synthesized element never calls). Added UiText.HonorVerticalJustification
so a non-DAT controller can opt the scrollable path into
VerticalJustify without a full LayoutDesc binding; SpewBoxController
sets VerticalJustify=Top so lines flow from the top of the 450x72 box,
matching newest-at-top insert semantics. Noted as invented-pending-
measurement in AP-178's row (no new row).
3. Documented the deliberate inversion of UiText.LinesProvider's
oldest-first contract in SpewBoxController.Tick (SpewBoxVM.Lines feeds
newest-first, which is correct specifically because the box is now
top-aligned) and added a test pinning the rendered order (newer message
is the topmost line), driving root.Tick.
4. Fixed the stale "retail's code default, 1" comment in
SpewBoxControllerTests — MaxConcurrentItems is the shipped LayoutDesc's
AUTHORED value, 4.
5. Added the matching unmapped-id diagnostics line to
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's ShowWeenieError sink, matching the pattern
GameEventWiring's WeenieError/WeenieErrorWithString handlers already
use.
6. Corrected the "EXHAUSTIVE Portal sweep found ZERO" overclaim in
SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic: the loop's id source was DatCollection's
top-level aggregate GetAllIdsOfType<LayoutDesc>(), not dats.Portal's
own (which reports a count of ZERO for this type), so querying those
ids against dats.Portal.TryGet established nothing about Portal either
way. Corrected the same overclaim echoed in SpewBoxState's
MaxConcurrentItems doc comment and in AP-178's register text (both the
table row and the section-header history line). What's actually
established: dats.Local hosts the SpewBox layout at 0x21000011; whether
Portal also carries a copy remains unestablished.
7. Added a test exercising the full ShowWeenieError -> AddText -> SpewBox
path for id 0x0561 (the 50-friends-cap refusal) in
LiveSessionCommandRouterTests, mirroring LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's
ShowWeenieError closure exactly since every other LiveSessionRuntimeFactory
test in this tree is a source-text conformance grep, not an
instantiation.
Ledger: CH2 ledger row's review column now reads REJECT -> reworked
e0e78883 -> re-review APPROVE-WITH-FIXES -> nits (this commit); Status
header flips CH2 to code-complete/closed pending the user gate, CH3 next.
Build green; touched-project tests green (19/19 new/changed,
4351/3354 App.Tests unaffected pass); full Release suite 11,916 passed /
4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 11,914/4/0 plus the two new tests this
commit adds).
