Item 1 — XP-next label left-alignment: the "XP for next level:" label (child of the
XP meter) was not left-aligned with the "Total Experience (XP):" caption above it.
Fixed by computing the meter's x-offset at bind time and setting xpLabel.Left =
TotalXpLabel.Left - meter.Left, plus Centered=false/RightAligned=false.
Item 2 — icon size / row height: attribute-row icons reduced from 24px → 16px,
row height from 30px → 22px. The 9 rows are now compact and tightly packed matching
the retail reference (2026-06-26). Row font (18px dat) still fits the 22px row.
Item 3 — selection bar: UiClickablePanel gains UseSelectionBars (default false) and
SelectionBarHeight (default 3px). When UseSelectionBars=true and BackgroundSprite is
set, OnDraw draws the sprite as a thin horizontal bar at the TOP edge (y=0) and BOTTOM
edge (y=H-barH) of the row — full panel width, no left/right end-caps, UV-tiled
horizontally (u1=Width/nativeW). Falls back to the base UiPanel fill (BackgroundColor
or full-stretch sprite) when UseSelectionBars=false. AddRow sets UseSelectionBars=true
on all attribute/vital rows so the selection highlight shows as retail-style bars.
Sprite 0x06001397 is 300×32 px; at 3px bar height the UV crop shows the sprite's
top 3px (top bar) and bottom 3px (bottom bar). Temp pre-select for screenshot
verification was added then removed before this commit.

LayoutImporter.BuildWidget gains a UiMeter-specific branch after the
ConsumesDatChildren gate: Type-3 slice containers (already consumed by
DatWidgetFactory.BuildMeter to extract sprite ids) are skipped, but all
other children (Type-12 UIElement_Text overlays) are built normally,
registered in byId, and attached as UiElement children of the meter.
This fixes the XP meter (0x10000236): its two Type-12 children
0x10000237 "XP for next level:" label
0x10000238 XP-to-next-level value
are now real UiText widgets in the tree, findable via FindElement.
CharacterStatController.Bind now uses FindElement + LinesProvider binding
instead of injecting runtime AddChild nodes. The two previously-injected
UiText overlays are removed; the controller binds Padding=0, ClickThrough,
RightAligned on the dat-origin widgets instead.
New constants XpNextLabelId + XpNextValueId replace the old comment block.
TAB GROUPS (SKIPPED — documented): UiText.ConsumesDatChildren flipping is
NOT safe globally (risks chat/vitals) and the page-visibility pass in
CharacterStatController depends on tab group Children.Count==0. Tab sprite
injection onto layout.Root stays and is explicitly commented as deliberate.
VITALS SAFE: health/stamina/mana meters have only Type-3 children → new
loop finds nothing → zero UiElement children added → byte-identical render.
VitalsController.BindMeter AddChild(number) pattern unchanged.
Tests: 3 new LayoutImporterTests (slice-only, Fix-5 text children,
vitals regression guard) + 3 CharacterStatControllerTests (label bound,
value bound, missing children no-throw). 715 tests pass.

Investigation (2026-06-26): the character footer three sibling groups (0x10000240/241/247)
all carry DefaultState=0x10000011 (StatManagement_Footer_Default) — the dat does NOT
differentiate them by visibility. Parent 0x1000022F has States {Default, Text, Meter}
with PassToChildren=true, but each child group registers all three states with
IncorporationFlags=None and Media=0, so state-propagation produces no visual change
on any group. Retail gmStatManagementUI uses hardcoded element-id dispatch for
0x10000240/241/247 — the groups are never hidden/shown via the dat state mechanism
(decomp gmStatManagementUI::GetFooterTitleLabel @0x004f0170).
Tab-page containers (0x1000022B/22C/10000539) have DefaultState=Undef — no visibility
encoding. Tab visibility is managed purely at runtime by gmTabUI.
IncorporationFlags (DatReaderWriter): {None, PassToChildren, X, Y, Width, Height,
ZLevel} — no Visible flag. The importer cannot set initial Group visibility from
the dat; the controller is the correct and only place. CharacterStatController
HideAllById footer pass and ContainsWidget page-visibility walk are retail-faithful
and must be kept.
No logic changes — comment-only documentation. Build green, 710 App tests green.
Studio screenshots: character footer shows State-A by default with no overlap;
vitals and toolbar unchanged.

DatWidgetFactory.Create now accepts an optional fontResolve: Func<uint,UiDatFont?>
parameter. When supplied and the element has a non-zero FontDid, the element
receives its own dat font instead of the shared global datFont fallback.
Null = original single-font behavior (the live GameWindow path passes null —
provably unchanged). LayoutImporter.Build/BuildFromInfos/Import all thread
the optional resolver down to the factory.
RenderStack gains a lazy font cache (ConcurrentDictionary, pre-seeded with
VitalsDatFont + LargeDatFont) and a ResolveDatFont(uint) method. StudioWindow
wires stack.ResolveDatFont into LayoutSource so every studio import gets
per-element fonts. GameWindow import calls left passing null (follow-up todo).
CharacterStatController font-hack cleanup (diagnosed via one-shot console dump
then removed):
- Name (0x10000231): dat FontDid = 18px font — remove datFont override (null)
- Heritage/PkStatus: dat FontDid = 14px fonts — remove override
- LevelCaption: dat FontDid = 16px — remove override (same font, no visual change)
- Level (0x1000023B): dat FontDid = 36px (the big retail gold font) — was forced
to rowDatFont/LargeDatFont (18px); now drops to null so the dat 36px font drives
- TotalXpLabel/TotalXp: dat FontDid = 16px — remove override
- FooterTitle (0x1000024E): dat FontDid = 20px — remove datFont override
- KEEP: synthesized elements (XP meter overlays, 9 attribute rows, tab sprites)
still use datFont directly since they have no dat origin
All Label/LabelTwoLine/LabelLeft/LabelProvider helpers updated: null = keep
build-time dat font; non-null = controller explicit override (backward-compat).
8 new tests in DatWidgetFactoryFontResolveTests:
- null resolver → DatFont == global datFont
- FontDid=0 → resolver not called
- resolver returns null → fallback to global datFont
- resolver called with element's FontDid
- controller DatFont override wins after build
- LayoutImporter.Build threads fontResolve to factory
- meter element fires resolver for non-zero FontDid
- BuildFromInfos without fontResolve param = original behavior
Build + all 710 App tests green.

LayoutImporter.ReadState now reads Properties 0x1B (ColorBaseProperty, ARGB bytes) and stores the normalized Vector4 in ElementInfo.FontColor (nullable). ElementReader.Merge propagates it with the same non-null-derived-wins rule as FontDid and HJustify. DatWidgetFactory.BuildText seeds UiText.DefaultColor from FontColor when present.
Diagnosis for LayoutDesc 0x2100002E: ALL 12 header and footer text elements carry NO dat color. Every color is runtime set by CharacterStatController. Comments added at each callsite. No hardcoded colors deleted.
Tests added: 3 ElementReader FontColor Merge + 3 DatWidgetFactory DefaultColor. 702 passed, 0 failed. Screenshots: character window, vitals, toolbar all unchanged.

LayoutImporter.ReadState now reads Properties[0x14] (HorizontalJustification,
EnumBaseProperty: 0=Left, 1=Center, 3/5=Right) and Properties[0x15]
(VerticalJustification: 2=Top, 4=Bottom; else Center) into two new ElementInfo
fields HJustify/VJustify. Merge propagates them with the same non-default-wins
rule used for FontDid.
DatWidgetFactory.BuildText applies the resolved justify at build time:
HJustify=Center sets Centered=true, HJustify=Right sets RightAligned=true,
VJustify=Top/Bottom sets VerticalJustify. Controllers that FindElement and set
those properties afterward continue to override - backward-compat preserved.
UiText gains VerticalJustify (Top/Center/Bottom, default Center). The Centered
and RightAligned single-line paths call UiText.VOffset() for the Y coordinate,
so VJustify.Top renders text at y=Padding rather than the fixed (H-lh)/2 center.
CharacterStatController: footer title (0x1000024E, H=55 dat box) previously
used Height=18 + Anchors=None to prevent center-vertical overlap with line-1/2.
Diagnostic confirmed dat says HJustify=Center, VJustify=Center. The hack is
replaced with one minimal explicit override: VerticalJustify=Top on the
already-Centered element. Text now renders at top of the 55px box natively.
Centered=false and RightAligned=false hand-sets removed where dat supplies them.
Dat justify values (studio diagnostic, 2026-06-26):
0x1000024E footer title: HJustify=Center, VJustify=Center
0x10000235/0x10000243/0x10000245 value fields: HJustify=Right
header name/heritage/pk/level: HJustify=Center

justify application + controller-override backward-compat; UiText VOffset.
696 passed, 0 failed.

Retail's m_pLevelText (0x1000023B) element is a plain UIElement_Text, not a
sprite-digit widget — the "large gold" appearance comes from the dat font
size on that specific element. Since 0x40000001 (18px) is the largest font
confirmed in client_portal.dat and there is no per-element font override in
our LayoutImporter, use rowDatFont (18px) for the level value so it fills
more of the 65×50 element and approaches the retail appearance.
Investigation: namedretail grep gmStatManagementUI + UpdateCharacterInfo
(0x004f0770) confirmed Type-12 UIElement_Text + SetText(L"%d"). No NumberSprite
or DigitSprite widget type exists in retail — the diff is purely font size.

Replaces the translucent-gold BackgroundColor tint with sprite 0x06001397
(Button state 6 — the retail dark horizontal bars) for the selected-row
background. When spriteResolve is provided to Bind(), clicking a row now
applies BackgroundSprite=0x06001397 + SpriteResolve on that row and clears
it on all others. Falls back to HighlightBg tint when no resolver is passed
(tests, or contexts without GL).
UiPanel.BackgroundSprite / SpriteResolve added so any panel can host a
sprite background in place of the solid BackgroundColor rect. HandleRowClick
updated to accept spriteResolve and apply the sprite or tint branch
depending on availability. Two new tests verify the sprite / deselect paths.

- RowHeight reduced 44→30px to pack the 9 rows tighter, matching retail's denser list
- Attribute row name/value text now uses Font 0x40000001 (MaxCharHeight=18px) instead of
the default 0x40000000 (16px); both fonts are in client_portal.dat (confirmed 2026-06-26)
- RenderStack gains LargeDatFont field; RenderBootstrap.Create loads both fonts
- FixtureProvider passes LargeDatFont as rowDatFont to CharacterStatController.Bind
- CharacterStatController.Bind gains rowDatFont? parameter (falls back to datFont);
passed to BuildAttributeRows so row UiText elements use the larger font
- Full solution tests green (681/683 App + 1579/1581 Core + 343 Net + 425 UI)

- Name label color changed from gold to white (retail "Horan" is white; 2026-06-26 ref)
- Level caption now provides 2 lines ("Character" / "Level") so neither truncates in the 65px element
- "Total Experience (XP):" caption (TotalXpLabelId 0x10000234) now visible; fixed Padding=0 on
LabelLeft so the dat-font line is not clipped by the bottom-pin scroll math in small-height elements
- "XP for next level:" caption + value injected as UiText children ON the UiMeter (0x10000236);
the meter's ConsumesDatChildren=true only gates the importer — AddChild at runtime works fine;
framework draws children after OnDraw so the text overlays the red bar faithfully
- Selected footer title (State B) renders WHITE per retail spec; State A title stays body/parchment
- Maxed attribute (raise cost = 0) shows "Infinity!" in Experience To Raise line per retail spec
- 5 new tests; 1 existing LevelCaption test updated to expect 2 lines; 681/683 pass (full suite green)

A position dump (the apparatus, after 5 speculative passes) showed the footer title element is H=55
(the whole footer box) in the dat; centering "Select an Attribute to Improve" in it landed the text
dead-center (~y572), painting over "Skill Credits Available:" (y565) and "Unassigned Experience:"
(y582). Constrain the title to a thin line (H=18) at the footer top + drop its anchors so the
per-frame stretch doesn't re-grow it. All three State-A lines now read cleanly. Diagnosed from data,
not guessing — exactly the apparatus-over-cdb call.

BUG 1 (tab bar): Tab group elements (0x10000228/229/538) are UiText with
ConsumesDatChildren=true so their 3 button children are consumed at import.
Fix: inject 3 sprite UiTexts per tab as CHILDREN OF LAYOUT ROOT at absolute
tab rects, ZOrder=8/9 so they draw over dat-imported UiTexts (ZOrder=1-3).
Original tab groups hidden. Active tab (Attributes) gold; inactive parchment.
BUG 2 (footer): Three root causes, all fixed.
(a) _byId stores LAST registered copy per id: stateA (0x10000240) was
the Titles-page copy, hidden by the page-visibility pass. Fixed by
walking root.Children to find the Attributes page (contains NameId)
then FindInSubtree for stateA within that subtree.
(b) Attributes-page stateB/stateC siblings (stacked at y=545) were still
Visible=True, drawing over stateA line-1/line-2. Fixed with
HideAllById walking the Attributes page subtree for ids 241/247.
(c) Footer label elements (H=17-18px, Padding=4f) were routed through
UiTexts scroll path: bottom-pinned baseY ended above the top clip
boundary, silently blanking all text. Fixed: LabelProvider sets
Padding=0f for directly-bound footer single-line labels.
UiDatElement.ElementId exposes _info.Id for subtree id-based walks.
676 tests pass, vitals panel unaffected (regression screenshot clean).

Gap 1 — Header captions:
- 0x1000023A ("Character Level") above the level value: bound via LabelLeft().
- 0x10000234 ("Total Experience (XP):") left of total XP: bound via LabelLeft().
- 0x10000237/0x10000238 (XP-to-level label + value) are children of the UiMeter
(0x10000236, ConsumesDatChildren=true) and cannot be bound — documented in
code comments; XP meter fill still bound via Fill=XpFraction.
Gap 2 — Tab bar sprites:
- Tab group elements 0x10000228/229/538 are Type-12 UIElement_Text in the dat
(ConsumesDatChildren=true), so the three button children (left-cap, center,
right-cap) are consumed at import and absent from the widget tree. Old
SetTabState/SetButtonStateRecursive found no UiButton children to set.
- Fix: AddTabSprites() injects three UiText sprite-children per group using
the known RenderSurface ids confirmed from the retail UI layout dump:
Open (active) 0x06005D92/0x06005D94/0x06005D96
Closed (inactive) 0x06005D93/0x06005D95/0x06005D97
Source: dump nodes 0x10000439/0x100000E9/0x10000215 in layout 0x2100002E,
state_id 11=Closed, 12=Open per gmTabUI::SetActive(bool).
Gap 3 — Footer legibility:
- The shared footer child ids (0x1000024E etc.) appear in THREE footer-state
groups (A/B/C). ImportedLayout._byId stores the LAST duplicate = narrower
State B/C copies (145px labels). Fix: hide State B/C groups (footerB/footerC
Visible=false), walk State A container (0x10000240) positionally to bind the
wider State A labels (195px). FooterLine1Label now reads "Skill Credits
Available:" and FooterLine2Label reads "Unassigned Experience:" at full width.
Tests: 3 old tab-state tests (SetButtonStateRecursive expectation) replaced by
4 new sprite-injection tests + 2 caption-binding tests. Full suite: 676 pass,
0 fail (was 673 pass after 3 failures).

- UiClickablePanel: new UiPanel subclass with OnClick action + HandlesClick=true
so row clicks survive whole-window-Draggable ancestor frames.
- CharacterStatController overhaul (Pass 2):
- Tab bar button states: SetButtonStateRecursive walks each tab group container
(0x10000228/229/538) setting UiButton.ActiveState="Open" (Attributes) or
"Closed" (Skills/Titles) via UIStateId enum string names from DatReaderWriter.
- Row click: 9 rows become UiClickablePanel; sel[] mutable box drives footer/highlight.
- Toggle: clicking the same row deselects (→ footer State A); click a new row
updates title="Attrib: value", line-1 label="Experience To Raise:", line-1
value=cost, line-2="Unassigned Experience:" in both states.
- Row highlight: BackgroundColor=HighlightBg (semi-translucent gold) on selected row.
- Raise buttons (0x10000246 ×1 + 0x100005EB ×10): hidden initially; shown on
selection with ActiveState="Normal" (affordable) or "Ghosted" (cost=0 or unaffordable).
CollectButtonsById tree-walk finds ALL copies of the button across tab-page mounts
(not just the last-registered _byId copy) so all instances are controlled.
- CharacterSheet: AttributeRaiseCosts long[] (Strength…Mana raise costs in retail
display order; cost=0 → max/disabled row demos the Ghosted button state).
- SampleData.SampleCharacter: fills AttributeRaiseCosts[9] — Strength/Quickness=0
(maxed), Focus@10→110 matching the retail screenshot (spec §4).
- 35 new tests (total 673 pass) covering: row click→footer B title/line1/line2,
toggle deselect→footer A, switch row, highlight set/clear, raise button
hidden/Normal/Ghosted/deselect, tab Open/Closed states, GetRaiseCost helper,
GetRowName helper, SampleData fixture sanity.
Console.WriteLine("[CharacterStat] Row click: index=N → selected=N (Name)") fires
on every click for the user's live verification in the studio.

Root cause: the sub-layout 0x2100002C (design H=337px) mounted into tab slot
0x1000022B (H=575px) via ShouldMountBaseChildren. ElementReader.Merge takes the
derived (sub-layout) H=337 as canonical, so the background element's first
ApplyAnchor call captured _amB=238 and the list box captured _amB=65 — both
stayed at their 337px-parent sizes even though the slot is 575px.
Fix: CascadeHeight in LayoutImporter.Resolve mirrors retail's
UIElement::UpdateForParentSizeChange. When ShouldMountBaseChildren fires and the
slot is taller than the base design, every full-stretch background child has its
height cascaded: Top+Bottom anchors → stretch, Bottom-only → pin-to-bottom,
Top-only/None → unchanged. This propagates the correct bottom margins through the
entire subtree before the first render frame.
Layout result (confirmed via headless screenshot):
- List box grows from 160px → 398px (9 rows × 44px ≈ 396px)
- Footer elements move from abs Y≈307 → abs Y≈545 (matching retail dump)
- Separator moves to abs Y≈535
Row constants updated: RowHeight 44px, IconSize 24px, RowPadX 4px, IconGap 6px.
Footer State-A text corrected per spec: title="Select an Attribute to Improve",
line-1 label="Skill Credits Available:", line-1 value=SkillCredits (96),
line-2 label="Unassigned Experience:", line-2 value=UnassignedXp (formatted N0).
CharacterSheet.UnassignedXp (long, retail InqInt64(2)) added.
SampleData.SampleCharacter().UnassignedXp = 87_757_321_741L.
5 footer tests renamed + assertions updated; SampleCharacter_UnassignedXp_IsSet added.
639 tests green.

LayoutDesc 0x2100002E is a tabbed window; all three pages (Attributes/Skills/Titles) mount
their content as overlapping root children. acdream drew all three, so the inactive pages'
backdrops painted over the active content — the dim "almost opaque" cover the user reported,
and it displaced the XP meter. The shared gmStatManagement ids are duplicated across pages and
_byId keeps the LAST-mounted copy, so every bound widget lives in exactly one page; the
controller now keeps that page visible (ContainsWidget reference-walk from the bound name
element) and hides the rest. Header/attrs/XP-bar now render clean + correctly placed.
Tests green.

Redo of the character pilot per faithful-port rules. The previous pilot GUESSED a text
report and put it on the wrong window. The decomp (verified by dumping acdream's
importer-resolved tree) shows LayoutDesc 0x2100002E is the tabbed Attributes/Skills/Titles
window: its tab-content slot 0x1000022B mounts sub-layout 0x2100002C (gmAttributeUI) which
chains into the gmStatManagementUI header. The importer ALREADY mounts every content element
(FindElement resolves name 0x10000231, heritage 0x10000232, PK 0x10000233, level 0x1000023B,
total-XP 0x10000235, XP meter 0x10000236 → UiMeter, list box 0x1000023D) — EventId was a red
herring (the dat id lives in _byId, not the widget's EventId field).
CharacterStatController (port of gmStatManagementUI::UpdateCharacterInfo 0x004f0770 +
UpdateExperience 0x004f0a70 + UpdatePKStatus 0x004f00a0) binds those real elements: name,
heritage, PK status, level, total XP, the XP-to-level meter fill, and the six innate
attributes in the list box. Studio (--layout 0x2100002E) now renders the actual panel
content, not an overlay. 16 controller tests green; full App suite stays green.
Refinements with known decomp sources (follow-ups): tab-button active/inactive state so the
3 tabs draw their sprites; exact label wording from the StringTable (table 0x10000001 →
dat 0x31000001); the full AttributeInfoRegion row template (column-aligned values + raise
buttons). CharacterController (text-report 0x2100001A) retained for that separate sub-panel.
