edbe5bafd5 feat(ui): D.2b empty-slot art — GameWindow resolves + wires per-list empty sprites
Inventory contents grid / side-bag / main-pack cells now render the retail
pack-slot empty art (dat cell template via ItemListCellTemplate) instead of the
generic toolbar square. Divergence rows AP-55 (toolbar still hardcoded) + AP-56
(flat single-sprite cell vs retail''s layered prototype).

dd2eb8b39d revert(teleport): drop the Slice 2 outdoor readiness-gate hold
User-tested: the Slice 2 'hold outdoor until landblock loaded' gate made
EVERY outdoor teleport a ~10 s freeze, because the destination landblock
does NOT load fast during the hold (lbs=0 the whole time — the #138
streaming gap + _datLock starvation from the CreateObject flood). The hold
was band-aiding a broken/slow foundation rather than fixing it, and it never
actually prevented the #145 edge cascade anyway (it force-snapped onto
NO-LANDBLOCK after the timeout regardless).

Reverts ad8c24e..c880973 to the pre-Slice-2 state (00ef47e): outdoor places
immediately again (fast teleports). The genuine bug found along the way —
IsLandblockLoaded queried the wrong key form (& 0xFFFF0000 vs the stored
| 0xFFFF) — is preserved in the history (c880973) and will be re-applied when
we re-introduce a proper hold ON A FIXED FOUNDATION.

Decision (user, 2026-06-21): fix the foundation FIRST — fast/complete
streaming during teleport (#138), the post-teleport lost-collision bug, and
the FPS leak (Work item C) — then revisit the teleport-flow animation. Slice 1
(the pure TeleportAnimSequencer) stays in (dormant, unwired, harmless).

a1e7041ba8 feat(ui): D.2b inventory finish — vertical-only window resize
Drag the bottom edge to expand the inventory and see more of the pack
(ResizeX=false + ResizableEdges=Bottom blocks horizontal resize). The contents
grid + its gm3DItemsUI sub-window + scrollbar + the backdrop stretch vertically
(Left|Top|Bottom); the paperdoll + side-bag column stay pinned at the top
(Left|Top). The grid's ViewHeight grows → more rows + the scrollbar thumb ratio
(view/content) reflects how much is left to scroll. Min = dat default (expand
only for now); max = 560. Visually confirmed: scroll + resize work.

06c4288282 feat(ui): D.2b inventory finish — window chrome frame (UiNineSlicePanel)
Wrap the gmInventoryUI content in the universal 8-piece beveled chrome (same
UiNineSlicePanel as vitals/chat/toolbar), so the inventory has a proper window
frame like every other window. The frame is the draggable window + the F12-
toggled registered window; the dat content sits inside it offset by the border.
Reused as the base for the vertical-resize step next.

102c46c8e3 feat(app): D.2b-B B-Wire — wire player guid into ObjectTableWiring + GameEventWiring
Pass () => _playerServerGuid to ObjectTableWiring.Wire and GameEventWiring.WireAll
so the new Batch 5/6 playerGuid parameters are populated. These were previously
left as null (default), meaning PD property upserts and PrivateUpdatePropertyInt
delivery would not route to the correct player object. Task 14 of the B-Wire plan.

6349ba49aa fix(physics #145): Slice 3 — carried-anchor membership; closes the far-town cascade
The outdoor membership pick derived the landblock origin from the terrain
registry, which returns (0,0) for an UNSTREAMED neighbour — so a fresh far-town
teleport at a landblock edge marched the cell id one block per physics tick
(the cascade; the 17410 ACE rejects is its wire artifact).

Fix: thread the CARRIED cell-relative frame anchor (body.Position -
body.CellPosition.Frame.Origin) into the pick via SpherePath.CarriedBlockOrigin.
That anchor IS the true landblock world origin, correct even for an unstreamed
neighbour, so the pick re-derives the SAME (consistent) cell and never marches.
- CellTransit.FindCellSet/BuildCellSetAndPickContaining: Vector3? carriedBlockOrigin
  (null default = legacy TryGetTerrainOrigin → every existing caller/test untouched).
- PhysicsEngine.ResolveWithTransition: set the anchor from a SEEDED OUTDOOR body
  whose carried landblock matches the resolve cell (else null → legacy).
- PlayerMovementController.SetPosition: 3-arg overload seeds CellPosition from the
  wire's (cell, local) via SnapToCell; 2-arg delegates with cellLocal=pos (anchor
  (0,0,0) == legacy → zero test churn).
- GameWindow.CellLocalForSeed: the placement seam (_liveCenter used ONCE here to
  derive the cell-local; physics carries it forward without _liveCenter).
Regression: TeleportFarTownRunawayTests (south + east edge, unstreamed neighbour).
Core 1529 / App 480, zero regressions.

03fbf4464d feat(ui): D.2b-B — wire InventoryController into the inventory-init block
Adds _inventoryController field (after _selectedObjectController) and calls
InventoryController.Bind in the existing inventory-init block, between
RegisterWindow and the Console.WriteLine. Uses Objects/iconComposer/
vitalsDatFont already in scope; strength lambda pattern-matches AttributeSnapshot
to int? (uint? has no implicit cast to int?).

bf66fb4123 fix(streaming): #138 — re-hydrate server objects from the retained spawn table on reload
Doors/NPCs/portals vanished after a portal OUT of the 0x0007 dungeon back
to Holtburg. Root cause confirmed via ACE + holtburger cross-reference:
the dungeon collapse drops a landblock's render entities for FPS, and ACE
will NOT re-broadcast objects whose guid is still in its per-player
KnownObjects set (never cleared on a normal teleport — ACE relies on the
client retaining its object table and culling stale objects itself). So
nothing restored them on the way back.

Retail-faithful fix: a real client keeps its weenie_object_table and
re-renders the world from it (holtburger keeps the table across a
teleport; only suspends physics bodies). acdream's _lastSpawnByGuid (the
parsed CreateObject records — position + Setup + appearance) IS that
table and survives the collapse (the collapse path never calls
RemoveLiveEntityByServerGuid, the only thing that prunes it). On landblock
(re)load, replay OnLiveEntitySpawnedLocked for retained spawns whose
render entity is absent — independent of any ACE re-send.

- LandblockEntityRehydrator: pure selection (landblock match; skip
  already-present, the player, and mesh-less spawns), unit-tested (7).
- StreamingController: onLandblockLoaded callback after AddLandblock
  (Loaded = dungeon-exit expand) and AddEntitiesToExistingLandblock
  (Promoted = Far->Near).
- GameWindow.RehydrateServerEntitiesForLandblock: present-gate keys on
  GpuWorldState (NOT _entitiesByServerGuid, which holds collapse
  orphans), replay under _datLock; the replay's own
  RemoveLiveEntityByServerGuid de-dup scrubs the orphan state.

Corrects the handoff: ClientObjectTable is inventory-only (no world
position/Setup) and cannot rebuild a render entity; _lastSpawnByGuid is
the world-object table. Register row AP-48 (no retail 25s visibility
cull). dotnet build + 1518 Core tests green.

7d971a2b3e feat(ui): D.2b-B — F12 shows the real gmInventoryUI (0x21000023)
Swap the Sub-phase A placeholder UiNineSlicePanel for LayoutImporter.Import
(0x21000023). The sub-window mount nests the paperdoll/backpack/3D-items
panels; the window starts hidden, registered under WindowNames.Inventory,
toggled by F12 via the window manager (unchanged).

a15bd3b56d fix(streaming): #145 — teleport re-use via server-authoritative placement
Portals only worked once per session: teleporting OUT of a dungeon
mis-rooted the player into the SOURCE dungeon's coordinate frame, so every
move was sent dungeon-framed and ACE rejected it ("failed transition") —
the player couldn't move, never reached a portal, and the world wouldn't
re-render (only skybox).

Root cause: acdream's streaming-relative frame recenters on teleport, but
resident physics landblocks keep their load-time world-offset. After
recentering onto the outdoor destination, the collapsed source dungeon
(offset 0,0 as the prior center) and the destination (offset 0,0 as the
new center) overlap, and the Z-agnostic outdoor cell-snap returns the
dungeon for both the arrival placement and every per-frame resolve.

Fix (server-authoritative teleport placement):
- Drop the stale source center landblock from physics at the teleport
  recenter (GameWindow.OnLivePositionUpdated) so the resolve falls through
  to the server position (Resolve NO-LANDBLOCK verbatim) until the
  destination streams in.
- Place outdoor teleports immediately (TeleportArrivalRules) — holding is
  futile because streaming does not progress during a PortalSpace hold.
- Clear a dangling CellGraph.CurrCell when its landblock is removed
  (PhysicsEngine.RemoveLandblock) — otherwise the dungeon-streaming gate
  keeps streaming collapsed onto the gone dungeon (only skybox renders).

Keeps DungeonStreamingGate (gate suppression during the hold). Indoor
(dungeon-entry) placement is unchanged (cell-keyed, IsSpawnCellReady).

User-verified: in->out->re-enter works repeatedly, no ACE errors, world
renders. Remaining facets (server objects + own avatar not rendering after
a teleport-out) are entity render/lifecycle — split to #138.

Registers AP-36 + AD-2 updated. New: DungeonStreamingGate (+4 tests),
TeleportArrivalRules (+4 tests). Build + 2727 tests green.

882b4dd5d3 feat(ui): D.2b-A — F12 toggles placeholder inventory window
UiHost RegisterWindow/ToggleWindow forwarders to UiRoot. A default-hidden
placeholder inventory window mounts in the RetailUi block + registers as
WindowNames.Inventory. OnInputAction handles the existing F12-bound
ToggleInventoryPanel action -> _uiHost.ToggleWindow (no-op when retail UI
off; gated by WantsKeyboard so it can't fire while typing in chat).

Placeholder is throwaway scaffolding; Sub-phase B swaps in the real
gmInventoryUI (0x21000023) under the same registry name.

14443e5c27 fix(ui): D.2b — collapsed toolbar left black pillars + draggable below the bar
Two bugs from the visual gate, same dump-confirmed cause: row 2 is an 11-element
band (left edge-piece 0x100006B6 + 9 slots 0x100006B7..BF + right edge-piece
0x100006C0, all at content-y 90), but SecondRow hid only the 9 slots — so the two
edge-pieces kept drawing as black pillars below the collapsed bar. And toolbarRoot
(ClickThrough=false, full height) still caught clicks below the collapsed frame →
walked up to the Draggable frame → phantom window-move.

Fix: SecondRow now hides the full band (B6..C0); toolbarRoot.ClickThrough=true so
its children (slots/indicators) still get hits children-first but its empty/below
regions fall through (no phantom drag) — same pattern as the chat content panel.
The slots are edge-flag 0 = Left|Top fixed, so nothing reflows. Build green.

57c2ab735d fix(lighting): #143 — dynamic lights use retail's D3D 1/d attenuation (portal + viewer spread)
The portal swirl's magenta light (and the viewer fill) read as a tight,
concentrated pool vs retail's soft, room-wide tint. Cause: acdream applied its
STATIC dat-bake falloff (1/d^3 distance-cube + range x1.3) to ALL point lights,
including dynamic ones. Retail draws dynamic lights through the D3D hardware
path (config_hardware_light 0x0059ad30): a point light gets Attenuation1=1 =>
att = 1/d (inverse-linear), plain Lambert, range x1.5 (rangeAdjust 0x00820cc4).

Split the two paths by a per-light IsDynamic flag:
- LightSource.IsDynamic; packed into GlobalLight.coneAngleEtc.y (binding=4).
- LightInfoLoader.Load(isDynamic) => range x1.5 + flag (server-object/portal
  lights via the live spawn path); dat-static lights keep x1.3 (default).
- Viewer fill + weenie/portal lights = dynamic; dat torches = static.
- mesh_modern.vert pointContribution: dynamic branch = 1/d att, plain Lambert,
  hard cutoff, no per-light cap (D3D accumulates then saturates via the existing
  min(pointAcc,1)); static branch = the unchanged wrap/norm bake.

This is the portal half of #143 (the magenta light itself now registers + reaches
the walls via the prior weenie-light + landblock-key fix). Refines AP-35: point
lights now split static-bake (1/d^3) vs dynamic-hardware (1/d) by path.

Verified: portal light now range=9 (6x1.5), magenta spreads softly; shader
compiles clean; static torches unchanged (range 5.2/6.5/7.8). User-confirmed the
portal matches retail and the torch-lit interior did not over-brighten.
Core lighting 44/44, App 476 green.

0d8b827721 fix(lighting): indoor interiors now lit — landblock-key bug + viewer light + weenie fixtures
The whole "indoor interiors read dark/flat vs retail" saga was ONE root-cause
bug: EnvCellRenderer.GetCellLightSet derived the landblock key as
`cellId & 0xFFFF0000` (0xXXYY0000), but landblocks are keyed by the streaming
id 0xXXYYFFFF. The lookup missed for EVERY cell, so SelectForObject never ran
and every EnvCell wall received ZERO point lights — torches, lanterns, the
viewer light, all of it. Confirmed by a [cell-light] probe: inBounds=False
selected=0 across 1M+ cell draws; after the fix inBounds=True selected=3-4.
User-confirmed the interiors now look like retail.

Three faithful additions that were blocked by the key bug (and only show now):
- Viewer light (LightManager.UpdateViewerLight): retail's SmartBox::set_viewer
  (0x00452c40) adds a white fill light at the player every frame via
  add_dynamic_light — the dominant interior fill (no sun indoors). acdream had
  NO dynamic lights at all. Params from the cdb capture: intensity 2.25,
  falloff 10, white, offset (0,0,2). Indoor-only via the AP-43 gate.
- Weenie fixture lights (OnLiveEntitySpawnedLocked): server-spawned lanterns/
  braziers carry Setup.Lights but the dat-static registration never saw
  CreateObject entities. Register on spawn; unregister on despawn
  (UnregisterOwner made unconditional). Register row AP-44.
- IndoorObjectReceivesTorches now excludes the 0xFFFF landblock marker (it is
  not an EnvCell) — fixes WbDrawDispatcherIndoorFlagTests.LandblockId_OutdoorFlag0
  (a #142 verification miss).

Divergence register: AP-44 (weenie light spawn-position, no movement tracking),
AP-47 (acdream's 128-light/camera-independent cap keeps interiors always-lit vs
retail's 40-nearest-to-player budget that pops in on approach — intentional,
user-preferred).

Investigation: docs/research/2026-06-20-indoor-torch-lantern-lighting-investigation.md

Core 1505 / App 476 green. Visual gate: user-confirmed "looks like retail now."

250f7827be feat(ui): D.5.3/B.2 — toolbar reorder/remove via ShortcutStore + wire + green-cross overlay
ToolbarController is now the LIVE drag handler:
- OnDragLift: removes the source slot from ShortcutStore, sends
  RemoveShortcut (0x019D) wire immediately (retail remove-on-lift model).
- HandleDropRelease: evicts occupant from target (RemoveShortcut),
  places dragged item (AddShortcut 0x019C), bumps evicted item into
  the vacated source slot if empty (swap path); off-bar release leaves
  the lift's removal standing.
- Populate() now lazy-loads ShortcutStore from the PD shortcut list on
  first call; store is authoritative thereafter.
- IsShortcutGuid() uses the store (O(18)) when loaded, falls back to
  scanning _shortcuts() in the pre-PD window.
- All 18 slot cells now get DragAcceptSprite=0x060011FA (green cross,
  distinct from the inventory ring 0x060011F9).
- GameWindow.Bind wired: sendAddShortcut + sendRemoveShortcut lambdas
  forwarded to _liveSession?.Send*().
- Divergence register: AP-47 Divergence+Risk cells updated (opacity
  corrected, underlay-backing framing improved). TS-33 row deleted
  (stopgap retired). Section header 32→31 rows.
- Tests: HandleDropRelease_isInertStub removed; 5 new B.2 tests added
  (lift removes + sends, swap sequence, empty-target place, self-drop
  re-adds, green-cross sprite). 24/24 ToolbarController tests pass.

#141 (note added; this branch's commits/spec still reference #140 — immutable).
The register auto-merged (AP-46 cites file:line, not #140; UN-7 keeps #140=Fix D).

8f627cce0e fix(D.5.3a): selected-object meter visual-gate fixes (name, gate, flash, magenta)
Visual gate against retail surfaced several fidelity gaps in the selected-object
strip; all fixed and user-confirmed. Faithful to gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635) + RecvNotice_UpdateObjectHealth (:196213).

- UiMeter.DrawHBar: guard each slice on `id != 0` BEFORE resolve. resolve(0)
  returns the 1x1 magenta placeholder with a non-zero GL handle, so the single-
  image meter (caps id=0) was drawing 1px magenta caps at the bar's ends. The
  3-slice vitals meter (all ids set) was unaffected. (the magenta-lines bug)
- SelectedObjectController: meter visibility is now UpdateHealth-driven (shown when
  health is known for the selected guid — HasHealth at select or HealthChanged),
  not shown-on-select; brief green selection flash via Tick revert; overlay floated
  above the meter so the flash isn't hidden by the bar; name top-aligned into the
  bar sprite's black band (NameBandHeight) with the bar below.
- GameWindow.IsHealthBarTarget: gate the health bar on the server PWD bits
  BF_ATTACKABLE (0x10) | BF_PLAYER (0x8) — friendly/vendor NPCs and attackable
  Doors (Misc type) are name-only; players/monsters get the bar. Replaces the
  too-loose IsLiveCreatureTarget. Wired SelectedObjectController.Tick in OnUpdate.
- CombatState.HasHealth(guid): distinguishes a known health value from the 1.0
  default, so a re-selected already-assessed target shows its bar immediately.
- TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface: resolve the surface's DefaultPaletteId
  so paletted (P8/INDEX16) UI sprites decode instead of falling to magenta.
- ToolbarController.HiddenIds: also hide 0x100001A3 (stack-entry box) — retail
  hides it in HandleSelectionChanged; it was rendering as a stray black box.

Divergence register: AP-47 (meter-visible timing) retired (now faithful); AP-46
rewritten to the BF_ATTACKABLE/BF_PLAYER gate approximation. Full suite green
(2,688 passed / 4 skipped). User-confirmed: name on top, NPC name-only, monster
bar on assess, green flash, no magenta.

6636e50c2a feat(D.5.3a): selected-object meter — Health bar + name on the action bar
Port of gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635).
When the player selects a world object the action bar's bottom strip shows the
object name + (for player/pet/attackable targets) a live Health meter; deselect
clears it. Mana (#140) + stack slider deferred.

- SelectedObjectController (new): clear-then-populate on selection change; sets
  name (UiText child, VitalsController pattern), overlay state (ObjectSelected /
  StackedItemSelected via UiDatElement.ActiveState), shows the health meter and
  sends QueryHealth for health targets. Subscribes via a delegate seam (no
  GameWindow coupling).
- GameWindow: _selectedGuid field -> SelectedGuid property + SelectionChanged
  event (fires on actual change only); 3 write sites converted, reads untouched.
  All selection-write paths (LMB pick, Tab/Q, despawn-clear via Tick()) run on
  the render thread, so the event-driven UI mutation is single-threaded.
- WorldSession.SendQueryHealth (0x01BF) — wraps SocialActions.BuildQueryHealth.
- DatWidgetFactory.BuildMeter: handle the single-image toolbar meter shape
  (back-track on the element's own DirectState, fill on one Type-3 child). The
  sprites go in the TILE slot (DrawMode=Normal tiles to full bar geometry per
  UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren) — a left-cap assignment would gap/clamp a
  sub-140px sprite. Vitals 3-slice path unchanged.
- ToolbarController.HiddenIds: A1 (health) now owned by SelectedObjectController;
  A2 (mana) + A4 (stack) stay hidden (deferred) so their dat back-tracks don't
  render as stray empty bars.

Adversarial Opus review found + fixed: the mana-meter orphan (A2 left unhidden)
and the meter tile-vs-cap render bug (C1). Divergence rows AP-46 (health gate
approximation: IsLiveCreatureTarget vs IsPlayer||pet||attackable) + AP-47
(meter shown on select vs on UpdateHealth reply). Spec §5 corrected.

Build + full test suite green (2,684 passed / 4 skipped). Health meter render
fidelity (full-width fill + fraction mapping) pending the user's visual gate.

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

2f789da73d feat(D.5.2): route live UiEffects updates (0x02CE) to the item icon
Subscribe ObjectIntPropertyUpdated (added in Group C Task 4) in GameWindow
next to the existing VitalUpdated/VitalCurrentUpdated subscriptions. Routes
PublicUpdatePropertyInt(0x02CE) UiEffects (property 18) → ItemRepository.
UpdateIntProperty → ItemInstance.Effects → ItemPropertiesUpdated → UiItemSlot
re-composites the icon in real time. The end-to-end path is the visual-
verification acceptance test (live ACE server + a draining magical item).

e0dce5aa9f feat(D.5.2): IconComposer 2-stage effect composite + 5-arg GetIcon
Widen the cache key to (typeUnderlay, icon, underlay, overlay, effects).
GetIcon is now a 2-stage composite mirroring retail IconData::RenderIcons
(0x0058d180): Stage 1 builds the drag composite (base + overlay) and,
when effects != 0, ReplaceColorWhite tints it with the effect tile's
mean-opaque color (DR-1: tint SOURCE, not blit; DR-3: zero-effects
black path skipped). Stage 2 blits typeUnderlay + custom underlay +
drag into the final cached GL texture.

Both callers updated: ToolbarController Func arity widened to 6-arg
(passes item.Effects); GameWindow closure and OnLiveEntitySpawned
EnrichItem call pass spawn.UiEffects. Tree builds with 0 warnings.

0e7a083da6 chore(D.5.1): remove temp geometry probe + add RestrictionDB-skip parse test
Task 1: remove the [D.5.1 PROBE] bottom-right rect-dump block from the
toolbar mount in GameWindow.cs. The block iterated 7 element ids and
logged ScreenPosition/Width/Height/Type; it was marked temporary and is
now superseded by the chrome window-frame fix. The kept [D.5.1] startup
diagnostic Console.WriteLines (digit arrays, toolbar ready, window from
LayoutDesc) are untouched.

Task 2: add TryParse_HouseRestrictionsSkipped_ThenIconOverlayCaptured to
CreateObjectTests.cs. Exercises the variable-length RestrictionDB skip
(weenieFlags bit 0x04000000: 12-byte fixed header + 4-byte hash-table
header + count*8 entries) followed immediately by IconOverlay (0x40000000)
and IconUnderlay (weenieFlags2 0x01 via IncludesSecondHeader 0x04000000).
Proves the skip lands the cursor at the right position for both capture
fields. 301/301 tests pass.

b37db79a23 feat(D.5.1): wrap toolbar in UiNineSlicePanel chrome frame (mirrors chat window)
The toolbar LayoutDesc (0x21000016, 300x122) was mounted bare — no window
chrome. This commit wraps it in a UiNineSlicePanel (the same 8-piece bevel +
gold grip chrome used by the vitals and chat windows), matching the pattern at
GameWindow.cs ~line 1885 verbatim.

- toolbarFrame is the top-level UiNineSlicePanel (Draggable=true, Anchors=None
  per UiNineSlicePanel ctor defaults). Outer size = 310x132 (300+2*5 x 122+2*5).
- toolbarRoot sits inside at offset (5,5) — the border thickness — with all-edge
  anchors so it reflows if the frame is resized. Draggable=false, Resizable=false
  on the content (only the frame is the drag handle).
- The frame's right border (x=305..310 screen) covers the row-2 right cap
  overhang (~2px past the content edge at x=300..302), since the border region
  starts at content_right=300 and extends to frame_right=310.
- Probe block untouched: still calls toolbarLayout.FindElement for diagnostic ids.

8d49042909 fix(D.5.1): read empty-slot background digits from composite 0x10000341 (0x1000005e)
The empty/background digit array (property 0x1000005e) lives under cell composite 0x10000341, not 0x10000346 where peace/war are read; reading it from the wrong composite returned 0 entries so empty top-row slots showed no number. Live dat probe confirmed: 0x10000341 element 0x1000034A property 0x1000005e = 0x060010FA..0x06001102 (digits 1-9) + 0x060074CF (bottom row). Now empty top-row slots show the faint background number, occupied show the dark-box peace/war digit (decomp UIElement_UIItem::SetShortcutNum:229481/229493).

8a42066192 feat(D.5.1): parse item IconOverlay/IconUnderlay from CreateObject -> faithful icon overlay layer
The CreateObject optional-tail walker previously stopped at UseRadius (~20 fields
before IconOverlay). This left ItemInstance.IconOverlayId/IconUnderlayId always 0,
so IconComposer's underlay/overlay layers were never drawn on toolbar icons.

Exact field order verified against ACE WorldObject_Networking.cs:87-219 (the
serializer is the authority; acdream connects to a local ACE server):
  UseRadius → TargetType(u32) → UiEffects(u32) → CombatUse(sbyte) →
  Structure(u16) → MaxStructure(u16) → StackSize(u16) → MaxStackSize(u16) →
  Container(u32) → Wielder(u32) → ValidLocations(u32) →
  CurrentlyWieldedLocation(u32) → Priority(u32) → RadarBlipColor(u8) →
  RadarBehavior(u8) → PScript(u16) → Workmanship(f32) → Burden(u16) →
  Spell(u16) → HouseOwner(u32) → HouseRestrictions(variable RestrictionDB) →
  HookItemTypes(u32) → Monarch(u32) → HookType(u16) →
  IconOverlay(PackedDwordKnownType) ← CAPTURE →
  IconUnderlay from weenieFlags2 bit 0x01 ← CAPTURE

RestrictionDB handled correctly: Version(u32) + OpenStatus(u32) + MonarchId(u32)
+ count(u16) + numBuckets(u16) + count×8 bytes entries. Length-aware skip, not a
fixed constant.

weenieFlags2 is now CAPTURED (not skipped) when IncludesSecondHeader
(objDescFlags bit 0x04000000) is set, so the IconUnderlay bit can be tested.

The entire extended walk is inside try/catch: truncated packets degrade to
IconOverlayId=0 / IconUnderlayId=0 (no overlay drawn), never corrupting.

Threading: CreateObject.Parsed → WorldSession.EntitySpawn → GameWindow
OnLiveEntitySpawned → Items.EnrichItem — both ids thread through all three
seams. EnrichItem extended with optional iconOverlayId + iconUnderlayId params
(defaulted 0, backward-compatible).

No change to IconComposer or ToolbarController (they already consume the ids).

Tests: 4 new CreateObject tests (IconOverlay only, overlay+underlay, no-overlay
regression, intermediate-fields cursor arithmetic). Full suite: 0 failures,
2636 passed.

a7cad5566b fix(D.5.1): occupancy-gated slot numbers (empty=0x1000005e bg digit) + bottom-right rect probe
FIX 1: UIElement_UIItem::SetShortcutNum (decomp 229481) has a three-way source
branch: occupied+peace -> 0x10000042 (peace digit set), occupied+war -> 0x10000043
(war digit set), empty (ItemId==0) -> 0x1000005e (background digit, stance-independent).
acdream previously only had the peace/war pair and drew them regardless of occupancy.

Changes:
- GameWindow.cs: read property 0x1000005e into toolbarEmptyDigits (no fallback;
  null is safe). Logs entry count. Passes emptyDigits to Bind. Adds [D.5.1 probe]
  block logging screen pos + size of 7 bottom-right element ids via ScreenPosition.
- ToolbarController.cs: adds _emptyDigits field, emptyDigits ctor+Bind param (null
  default). RestampShortcutNumbers sets cell.EmptyDigits. Comments cite decomp 229481.
- UiItemSlot.cs: adds EmptyDigits property + ActiveDigitArray() internal testable seam
  (occupied -> peace/war by stance; empty -> EmptyDigits). OnDraw uses it. Comment
  updated with three-way source table.
- Tests: 5 new UiItemSlotTests (ActiveDigitArray occupancy), 2 new
  ToolbarControllerTests (emptyDigits injection + null-safe).

b2a812d1fa feat(D.5.1): faithful toolbar slot numbers 1-9 (SetShortcutNum digit sprites, peace/war)
Port of UIElement_UIItem::SetShortcutNum (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:229465) and
gmToolbarUI::RecvNotice_SetCombatMode (196610-196621). The 9 top-row toolbar slots
show digit labels 1-9 at all times (even when empty — confirmed from the user''s
retail screenshot). The digit sprites are real 32x32 PFID_A8R8G8B8 RenderSurfaces
with glyphs baked into the top-left corner (rest alpha=0), drawn Alphablend over
the slot icon/empty sprite.

Digit DID arrays (peace: property 0x10000042, war: 0x10000043) are read at startup
from LayoutDesc 0x21000037 element 0x1000034A under composite 0x10000346 using the
same ArrayBaseProperty{DataIdBaseProperty} pattern as LayoutImporter.ReadState.
A cited-constant fallback (same confirmed dat ids) is used if the dat navigation
fails. The war glyph set (darker/golden glyphs) switches on any combat stance;
peace glyphs (lighter) restore on NonCombat — re-stamped by RestampShortcutNumbers()
called from both Populate() and SetCombatMode().

Changes:
- UiItemSlot: ShortcutNum/ShortcutPeace/PeaceDigits/WarDigits state; SetShortcutNum/
  ClearShortcutNum; OnDraw restructured (no early return) so digit draws after icon.
- ToolbarController: _peaceDigits/_warDigits/_peace fields; Bind() gains peaceDigits/
  warDigits optional params; RestampShortcutNumbers() helper; Populate() and
  SetCombatMode() both call RestampShortcutNumbers().
- GameWindow: reads digit arrays under _datLock from LayoutDesc 0x21000037, passes to
  Bind(); cited constants as fallback.
- Tests: 5 new UiItemSlotTests (SetShortcutNum/ClearShortcutNum state); 4 new
  ToolbarControllerTests (top-row/bottom-row labels, peace/war switch, array injection).

f21dbfad80 feat(D.5.1): faithful item-icon type-default underlay (EnumIDMap 0x10000004) — opaque icon backing
Retail IconData::RenderIcons (decomp 407524) builds the icon layer stack bottom→top:
type-default underlay (OPAQUE, Blit_Normal) first, then custom underlay, base icon,
custom overlay.  acdream's IconComposer omitted the type-default underlay, leaving
filled toolbar slots with a transparent background.

Resolution via the two-level EnumIDMap chain that retail uses (DBCache::GetDIDFromEnum
0x413940): Portal.Header.MasterMapId (0x25000000) → master[0x10000004] → submap DID
(0x25000008) → submap[LSB(itemType)+1] → 0x06 RenderSurface underlay DID.  Golden
values confirmed against the live dats: MeleeWeapon→0x060011CB, Armor→0x060011CF,
Clothing→0x060011F3, Jewelry→0x060011D5, None(fallback 0x21)→0x060011D4.

Changes:
- IconComposer: add ResolveUnderlayDid(ItemType)/EnsureUnderlaySubMap (memoised);
  widen cache key from (uint,uint,uint)→(uint,uint,uint,uint); GetIcon gains ItemType
  param and prepends the opaque underlay as layer 0 (Compose sizes to it → fully opaque)
- ToolbarController: widen _iconIds Func from 3-arg to 4-arg; Populate passes item.Type
- GameWindow: update toolbar mount lambda to 4-arg form
- Tests: update ToolbarController test stubs to (_,_,_,_); add
  Compose_opaqueUnderlayFirst_resultIsFullyOpaque (dat-free) and
  ResolveUnderlayDid_goldenValues_matchDat (dat-gated, skip when dats absent)

No divergence-register row existed for this omission; none added (fully ported now).

bfc452d610 fix(D.5.1): toolbar movable + chrome-grab + peace-only indicator + no prototype square
D1 — Toolbar not movable: toolbarRoot.Anchors = AnchorEdges.None (was Left|Top)
so ApplyAnchor early-returns and doesn't re-pin the window every frame.
Matches the vitalsRoot idiom exactly.

D2 — Cannot grab toolbar by chrome: toolbarRoot.ClickThrough = false
so HitTest succeeds over the UiDatElement chrome and the drag starts.
UiDatElement ctor defaults ClickThrough=true; vitalsRoot already overrides it.

C1 — All four combat-mode indicators visible at once (war/flame stacked on
peace): ports gmToolbarUI::RecvNotice_SetCombatMode
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:196632-196669). CombatIndicatorIds[] maps
index 0-3 to NonCombat/Melee/Missile/Magic; SetCombatMode shows exactly one
and hides the other three. Default to NonCombat at bind (player always
spawns in peace). Wires CombatState.CombatModeChanged for live updates.
Tests: CombatIndicator_defaultNonCombat_onlyPeaceVisible,
CombatIndicator_setCombatModeMelee_onlyMeleeVisible,
CombatIndicator_liveSignal_updatesWhenCombatStateChanges.

V1 — Blue empty-slot square at top-left (prototype 0x100001B2 materialized):
ImportInfos now skips top-level elements that are (a) referenced as a
BaseElement by another element in the same layout AND (b) have no own state
media. The CollectBaseRefsInDesc walk covers nested children; HasNoOwnMedia
re-uses ToInfo's media extraction. The Resolve path reads BaseElement from the
raw dat via dats.Get<LayoutDesc> — it never depends on the prototype being in
the built widget tree — so the skip is safe. Conformance tests (vitals, chat)
are unaffected (they exercise Build, not ImportInfos).
Test: BuildFromInfos_PrototypeSkipped_DerivedPresent_PrototypeAbsent.

Add optional `onShortcuts` callback to `GameEventWiring.WireAll`; invoke

`Shortcuts` property (initialized to empty) so the toolbar (D.5.1 Task 5)
can read hotbar slots without keeping a parser reference.  Existing callers
compile unchanged — the parameter defaults to null.

Added uint IconId = 0 (defaulted, last positional param) to the EntitySpawn
record so existing call sites outside WorldSession compile unchanged. The
WorldSession invoke now passes parsed.Value.IconId as the final arg.
OnLiveEntitySpawned calls Items.EnrichItem unconditionally — it's a no-op
for non-item spawns (players/NPCs/furniture aren't in the repo), so the call
is safe for every incoming CreateObject.

2284a376ae feat(D.2b): write-mode movement gate that preserves autorun
In chat write mode the keyboard belongs to the input — typing "swd" must not
walk the character — but AUTORUN must keep going (the user can chat while
running).

- InputDispatcher.IsActionHeld now returns false while WantCaptureKeyboard is
  set (a focused chat input), the polling-path twin of the existing gate on
  Fired actions. This SUPERSEDES the old per-frame OnUpdate early-return, which
  also killed autorun. Gating here instead lets the movement block keep running,
  so autorun — a separate latched bool ORed into Forward at the call site, not a
  polled key — survives. Test updated to encode the new contract.
- GameWindow: the movement suppress-guard reverts to ImGui-devtools-only (the
  retail write mode no longer early-returns); wires DefaultTextInput = the chat
  input (Tab/Enter activation) and Input.Keyboard for clipboard. Drops the
  one-shot UI-scale diagnostic.

1da697ec2a @
feat(D.2b): chat polish — typing fix, opacity, scrollbar 3-slice, retail channel menu

Visual-iteration batch (decomp-grounded), each fix verified against the retail screenshots:
- typing: UiElement.HitTest aborted on ClickThrough BEFORE walking children, so the
  ClickThrough UiDatElement panels blocked hit-testing to the input/transcript inside
  them. Check ClickThrough AFTER the child walk (it only gates whether THIS element
  claims the hit). Restores input focus + typing.
- opacity: UiElement.Opacity + a UiRenderContext alpha stack applied to sprite/rect
  draws (text bypasses it, stays sharp); chat frame Opacity=0.75 → translucent chat.
- brown sliver: grow the transcript panel up 9px to cover the dropped resize-bar strip.
- scrollbar: real 3-slice thumb (caps 0x06004C60/66 + tiled mid) + tiled track.
- max/min: shifted one button-width left of the scrollbar (dat right-anchors collide).
- system text now green (retail ChatMessageType 5; was yellow).
- word-wrap: transcript lines wrap to the panel width (greedy, ports GlyphList::Recalculate).
- channel menu reworked to retail gmMainChatUI::InitTalkFocusMenu: "Chat" button + a
  TWO-COLUMN popup of the 14 talk-focus items (Squelch, Tell to Selected, Chat to All,
  Tell to Fellows, ...) on a tan panel; channel items set the active outbound channel.

Build + 392 App tests green. Visual confirmation in progress.

12ab9663d2 feat(D.2b): cut GameWindow over to the data-driven chat window
Replace the hand-authored chat block (UiNineSlicePanel + inline UiChatView
+ local BuildRetailChatLines/RetailChatColor statics) with
ChatWindowController.Bind(LayoutDesc 0x21000006) — the same LayoutImporter
path as the vitals window.  The controller places UiChatView (transcript) +
UiChatInput (text entry, on-submit) + UiChatScrollbar + UiChannelMenu inside
the dat-authored chrome.  The dead local statics are deleted.

Wired to _commandBus (same LiveCommandBus as the ImGui ChatPanel) so
type+Enter dispatches SendChatCmd server-ward.  Transcript keyboard set from
_uiHost.Keyboard (set by WireKeyboard above the chat block) for Ctrl+C/Ctrl+A.

Divergence register: added AD-28 (two-widget split vs UIElement_Text),
AP-38 (no in-element word-wrap), AP-39 (per-line colour vs per-glyph runs),
AP-40 (no opacity fade / shared vitalsDatFont), TS-30 (tab buttons no-op),
TS-31 (no squelch); updated IA-15 to cover both vitals + chat importer paths.

4345e77d62 fix(render): A7 Fix B — per-OBJECT point-light selection (minimize_object_lighting)
Outdoor objects brightened as the camera approached: lighting selected the
nearest 8 lights to the VIEWER and fed that one global set to everything
(LightManager.Tick), so a building's wall torches only lit it once the camera
got close enough for them to win the global top-8. Probe confirmed the scale of
the problem: a single Holtburg view registers 129 point lights — the global cap
of 8 was hopeless.

Retail selects up to 8 lights PER OBJECT by the object's own position
(minimize_object_lighting 0x0054d480), so a torch always lights the wall it
sits on, camera-independent. Ported faithfully:

- LightManager.SelectForObject (pure, TDD, 8 new tests): candidacy
  (light.pos − center)² < (Range + radius)², nearest-8 among those. Plus
  BuildPointLightSnapshot for the per-frame stable-indexed light list.
- mesh_modern.vert: two SSBOs — binding=4 GLOBAL point-light array (the
  snapshot), binding=5 per-instance light SET (8 int indices into it, -1 =
  unused), parallel to the binding=0 instance buffer (mirrors the U.3 clip-slot
  mechanism). accumulateLights keeps ambient + sun from the SceneLighting UBO
  (cleared as faithful by the lighting audit) and loops THIS instance's point
  lights. pointContribution factored out (same calc_point_light wrap+norm shape).
- WbDrawDispatcher: per-entity light set computed ONCE at the isNewEntity site
  (constant across the entity's parts), by the entity's AABB sphere; threaded
  into grp.LightSets parallel to grp.Matrices; global + per-instance buffers
  uploaded in Phase 5. Camera-independent ⇒ stable for static buildings.
- GameWindow: BuildPointLightSnapshot + dispatcher.SetSceneLights each frame.

Tests: 17/17 LightManager + 36/36 dispatcher clip-slot/clip-frame green
(parallel-array lockstep preserved). Visually gated: the meeting hall now holds
steady as the camera approaches (was the popping symptom).

ToAnchors was inverted vs retail UIElement::UpdateForParentSizeChange @0x00462640:
stretch is RightEdge==1 (not ==2/==4), LeftEdge==2 = track-right. Verified against

bf77a23ad3 feat(D.2b): flip vitals to the LayoutDesc importer; retire hand-authored vitals.xml
The importer (proven pixel-identical at the 2026-06-15 A/B gate) is now the
default vitals window when ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1 — data-driven from LayoutDesc
0x2100006C. Removed: the hand-authored vitals.xml build path, the asset file
(recoverable from git history), and the now-obsolete ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER
flag (RuntimeOptions param + parse + 2 tests). The window is user-positioned at
(10,30) and movable; resize stays off — the dat stacked-vitals layout is fixed-
size (chrome edges near-pinned), faithful grip/dragbar resize is Plan 2.

5ac9d8c19c merge: bring main into claude/hopeful-maxwell-214a12 (LayoutDesc importer branch)
main was 65 commits ahead of this branch's fork point. Only conflict was the
divergence register: both sides appended an 'AP-32' row. Resolved by keeping
main's AP-32..AP-36 (cell-shell lift, look-in cells, alpha deferral, dungeon
streaming, point lights) and renumbering the importer's row to AP-37; AP header
count -> 37. GameWindow.cs auto-merged cleanly. Verified: AcDream.App builds
0/0; AcDream.App.Tests 354 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed.
