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.

Process/quality items from the LayoutDesc-importer final review — no runtime
behavior change.
I1a — amend IA-15: the 8-piece chrome edge/corner→position mapping is no longer
a guess. The LayoutImporter (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER) reads real LayoutDesc
dat data and resolves positions + sprite ids directly; locked by the conformance
fixture vitals_2100006C.json. Residual risk trimmed to anchor resolution at
non-800×600 + controls.ini cascade. Pointers added to LayoutImporter.cs and the
format-doc.
I1b — add AP-32: the importer collapses the dat's nested meter structure
(Type-7 → two Type-3 containers → three image-slice grandchildren each) into
UiMeter's programmatic 3-slice fields instead of building those nodes generically
and porting UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren. Standalone Type-0 text elements are
also skipped (Plan 2). Retail oracles: UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren @0x46fbd0,
UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x467aa0.
I1c — AP section header 31 → 32.
N1 — ElementReader.cs: comment at the Type-merge line explaining that a derived
Type 0 (text element) inherits the base's Type 12 (style prototype), which
DatWidgetFactory skips; safe for Plan 1 because vitals numbers render via
UiMeter.Label. Format-doc §10: correct the "render as UiDatElement" sentence to
"skipped entirely" (Type-0 → inherits Type-12 via Merge → factory returns null).
N4 — new conformance test VitalsTree_TextLabel_InheritsFontDidFromBaseLayout:
walks the raw ElementInfo tree from the fixture and asserts at least one element
carries FontDid==0x40000000, proving Resolve()'s inheritance merge fired against
real dat data. FixtureLoader gains LoadVitalsInfos() that returns the raw tree
without calling Build.
Tests: 36 pass (was 35), 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Fix 1: replace 3 copy-paste meter blocks in VitalsTree_MetersHaveExpectedSliceIds
with a single table-driven loop — a 4th meter is now a one-liner and failures
name the failing meter id directly.
Fix 2: FixtureLoader now reads the fixture as bytes and strips the UTF-8 BOM
(EF BB BF) before passing the span to JsonSerializer, so a BOM-bearing fixture
file never causes a spurious JsonReaderException.
Fix 3: add [Trait("Category", "Conformance")] at the class level so conformance
tests are selectable by category filter.
Fix 4: add missing <param name="layoutId"> doc tag to LayoutImporter.ImportInfos.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Job 1: extract LayoutImporter.ImportInfos() (public dat-shell half that returns the
resolved ElementInfo tree without building widgets) so fixture generation and
conformance tests can call it directly. Import() now delegates to ImportInfos() +
Build() — existing 32 Layout tests stay green.
Job 2: generate tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/fixtures/vitals_2100006C.json
from the real portal.dat via a throwaway [Fact] generator (deleted, not committed).
System.Text.Json with IncludeFields=true — ValueTuple serializes as Item1/Item2.
Pre-write validation confirmed health meter BackLeft=0x0600747E FrontRight=0x06007483
rect (5,5,150,16). Round-trip deserialization re-validated before writing.
Job 3: FixtureLoader.LoadVitals() deserializes the fixture from the test output
directory (CopyToOutputDirectory item in csproj) and returns ImportedLayout via
LayoutImporter.Build(root, _ => (0,0,0), null) — no dats, no GL.
Job 4: LayoutConformanceTests — 3 golden tests (35 asserts total):
- VitalsTree_HasThreeMetersAtExpectedRects: 3 meters at x=5, w=150, h=16, y=5/21/37
- VitalsTree_MetersHaveExpectedSliceIds: all 18 back+front slice ids health/stamina/mana
- VitalsTree_ChromeCornerHasExpectedSprite: TL corner 0x10000633 → sprite 0x060074C3
Full App suite: 326 pass / 1 skip (pre-existing) / 0 fail. Build: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Throwaway generator not committed (confirmed via git status).

Adds RuntimeOptions.RetailUiImporter (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER=1) — a new
opt-in flag that runs the LayoutImporter-built vitals window ALONGSIDE the
hand-authored vitals panel for pixel-for-pixel A/B comparison. The importer
window is placed at x=200, y=30 so both render simultaneously within the same
ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1 session. The hand-authored path is entirely untouched and
remains the default; the importer path is the eventual switch-over target.
Also adds two RuntimeOptionsRetailUiTests covering the new flag: value "1" →
true, unset/other → false.

Fix 1: Added a <para> to the VitalsController class summary citing
docs/research/2026-06-15-layoutdesc-format.md §11 as the source of the
three dat element ids, giving a paper trail back to the evidence per
the project's cite-in-comments rule.
Fix 2: Changed FakeLayout in VitalsBindingTests to accept (uint id,
UiElement e) tuples instead of (string idHex, UiElement e), and updated
all three call sites to pass VitalsController.Health/.Stamina/.Mana.
Tests now follow the constants automatically if they ever change rather
than silently passing with stale hex literals.

Mirrors retail gmVitalsUI::PostInit: grab Health/Stamina/Mana meters from
the imported layout by their dat element ids (0x100000E6 / EC / EE) and
wire Func<float> fill + Func<string> label providers. Missing ids are
silently skipped (no throw). Slice sprites + dat font already set by the
factory — this is pure data wiring, not graphics.
3 TDD tests: single-meter fill+label, all-three distinct providers, missing-id no-throw.

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

Fix 1: SliceIds now projects the File id during Select rather than calling
TryGetValue twice (once in Where, once in the local File() helper). Added a
comment noting that OrderBy is stable so X-tie order follows insertion order.
Fix 2: BuildMeter emits a [D.2b] Console.WriteLine when the Type-3 container
count is not exactly 2, surfacing malformed or non-vitals meter elements during
Task 8 conformance testing without disturbing the existing solid-color fallback.
Fix 3: Test 5 adds two explicit NotEqual assertions confirming the
ShowDetail-only overlay sprite (OverlayFile = 0x06007490) did not leak into
FrontRight or FrontTile.
5/5 tests pass, 0 warnings.

Hybrid factory mapping ElementInfo.Type to a behavioral widget or the
UiDatElement generic fallback. Type 7 (UIElement_Meter) → UiMeter with
back/front 3-slice ids populated from grandchild image elements; Type 12
(style prototypes / BaseElement stores) → null so the importer skips
them; all other types → UiDatElement. Rect + anchors are set on every
returned widget via ElementReader.ToAnchors.
BuildMeter walks two levels of the element tree: the two Type-3 slice
containers ordered by ReadOrder (back behind, front on top), then within
each container the image children that carry a DirectState ("" key)
ordered by X for left-cap/center-tile/right-cap. The expand-detail
overlay (present in the front container with only named ShowDetail/
HideDetail states and no "" entry) is excluded by the TryGetValue("")
filter automatically — no name-matching needed.
Fill/Label providers are intentionally NOT set here; Task 6
(VitalsController) binds them to live stat data.
5 TDD tests: Type7→UiMeter, UnknownType→UiDatElement, Type12→null,
rect+anchors propagation, and meter slice extraction with overlay exclusion.

Generic fallback widget for every LayoutDesc element type without a
dedicated behavioral widget (chrome corners/edges, drag bars, resize grips).
Holds an ElementInfo + active-state name; draws that state's media by tiling
(UV-repeat on both S+T axes, matching ImgTex::TileCSI). DrawMode constants
documented per format spec §6 (Undefined=0, Normal=1, Overlay=2,
Alphablend=3 — no Stretch mode). Plan 1: all modes render as the same
alpha-blended tiled quad; per-mode branches deferred to Plan 2.

- Merge: defensive copy `new List<ElementInfo>(derived.Children)` so a
later mutation of the merged result or the input can't corrupt the other
- Merge: add comment on Width/Height 0-sentinel (Plan-1 safe; Plan-2
limitation and float?-upgrade path documented inline)
- Test: replace mid-sentence "Wait —" authoring trace in
EdgeFlagsToAnchors_ValueThree_FallsBackToTopLeft with a clean
conclusion-first summary of the value-3 mapping rule
9/9 ElementReaderTests pass; 0 build errors.

Implements Task 2 of the LayoutDesc Importer (Plan 1 — vitals conformance).
- ElementInfo POCO: GL-free/dat-free snapshot of a resolved layout element.
Shape matches the plan spec exactly (Id, Type as uint, X/Y/Width/Height as
float, raw Left/Top/Right/Bottom uint edge flags, ReadOrder, FontDid, StateMedia
dict, Children list). Tasks 3–6 depend on this shape.
- ElementReader.ToAnchors(uint,uint,uint,uint): maps dat edge-flag values
(0=none, 1=near-pin, 2=far-pin, 3=floating-center, 4=stretch) to AnchorEdges
bit flags. Corrects the plan's stale assumption that value 4 was the only anchor
trigger; the verified format doc §4 shows 1→Left/Top, 2→Right/Bottom, 4→both.
All-zero falls back to Left|Top (default pin top-left).
- ElementReader.Merge(base_, derived): inheritance merge mirroring BaseElement/
BaseLayoutId. Derived scalars win when non-zero; position/edge-flags/ReadOrder
always from derived; StateMedia merged (base defaults, derived overrides);
Children from derived only.
TDD: tests written first (9 tests covering ToAnchors near-pin/far-pin/stretch/
zero/value-3, Merge scalar override/font inheritance/StateMedia merge/children).
All 9 pass; dotnet build 0 errors 0 warnings.

Windows-like selection in the retail chat window: left-click-drag selects
characters, Ctrl-C copies, Ctrl-A selects all. The selected span paints a
translucent highlight behind the text.
- UiElement.CapturesPointerDrag: a per-element opt-out so an interior drag is
delivered to the widget (text selection) instead of moving/resizing the host
window. UiRoot.OnMouseDown honours it AFTER edge-resize (a resizable window
is still resizable from its frame) and BEFORE window-move.
- UiChatView: AcceptsFocus + IsEditControl + CapturesPointerDrag; caches the
OnDraw layout so OnEvent hit-tests the same geometry; HitChar maps a local
point to (line,col) with glyph-midpoint caret snapping; SelectedText joins a
multi-line span with \n; Ctrl-C writes to IKeyboard.ClipboardText (only when
non-empty, so an empty copy never clobbers the clipboard).
- UiHost exposes the wired IKeyboard (clipboard + Ctrl modifier state).
Adversarial-review fix (the 99 tests would have stayed green without it): a
coordinate-frame mismatch between MouseDown and MouseMove. UiRoot.OnMouseDown
dispatched HitTestTopDown's coords, which are relative to the TOP-LEVEL child,
while MouseMove/MouseUp use target.ScreenPosition. For the chat view inset at
(8,8) inside its window the anchor landed ~8px off the click. OnMouseDown now
delivers target-LOCAL coords like the other mouse events. Added a UiRoot
regression test asserting MouseDown and MouseMove share the target-local frame
for a nested child.
Decomp ref: SurfaceWindow text/selection model; clipboard via Silk.NET
IKeyboard.ClipboardText. Built with the chat-select-copy implement->review
workflow.

The vitals cur/max overlay rendered with the consola TTF debug font,
which is wrong for the retail look. Port the retail dat-font render
path so the numbers use Font 0x40000000 (Latin-1, 16px, with outline
atlas) — the same font retail draws on the vitals window.
UiDatFont (new): loads the Font DBObj from the DatCollection and
uploads its two RenderSurface atlases (foreground glyph pixels
0x06005EE5 + background outline 0x06005EE6) through
TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface — the same direct-RenderSurface
path the D.2b chrome sprites use. Builds a char->FontCharDesc lookup
and exposes MeasureWidth + LineHeight. The per-glyph advance
(HorizontalOffsetBefore + Width + HorizontalOffsetAfter) is a pure
static so the pen math is unit-testable without GL or the dat.
UiRenderContext.DrawStringDat (new): two-pass per-glyph blit mirroring
SurfaceWindow::DrawCharacter (acclient 0x00442bd0) — the BACKGROUND
atlas sub-rect tinted black (outline) first, then the FOREGROUND
sub-rect tinted the text color (fill), with the pen accumulating the
retail advance the way the string loop does at 0x00467ed4. Respects
the UI transform stack. Skips the outline pass for fonts with no
background atlas.
No shader change was needed: the foreground atlas decodes A8 ->
(255,255,255,a), and ui_text.frag's RGBA-sprite path already
MULTIPLIES the texel by the per-vertex tint (texture(uTex,vUv)*vColor),
so tinting white+alpha by a color gives color+alpha (black outline,
text-color fill).
UiMeter: new DatFont property; the label renders via DrawStringDat
(centered with DatFont.MeasureWidth) when set, falling back to the
debug BitmapFont when null.
GameWindow: loads one UiDatFont for the vitals panel (under _datLock)
and assigns it to each UiMeter child; logs + falls back to the debug
font if the Font fails to load (never crashes).
Tests: 6 pure-logic UiDatFontTests for GlyphAdvance + MeasureWidth
(synthetic glyphs, negative bearings, missing chars, empty/null). Full
App UI suite green (84 passed).
DatReaderWriter member names verified via reflection on the 2.1.7
package: Font.{MaxCharHeight,BaselineOffset,ForegroundSurfaceDataId,
BackgroundSurfaceDataId,CharDescs} and FontCharDesc.{Unicode,OffsetX,
OffsetY,Width,Height,HorizontalOffsetBefore,HorizontalOffsetAfter,
VerticalOffsetBefore}.

Add UiChatView, a transcript widget for the retail-look UI: renders the
ChatVM tail bottom-pinned (newest at the bottom, like retail) with
mouse-wheel scrollback and whole-line vertical clipping so text stays
inside the frame. Hosted in a draggable/resizable UiNineSlicePanel and
wired into the UiHost next to the vitals window, fed by a dedicated
ChatVM (200-line tail) over the same live ChatLog. Per-ChatKind colour
palette (speech white, tells magenta, channels blue, system yellow,
emotes grey, combat orange).
This is the read-only foundation. The next sub-step adds glScissor
clipping + word-wrap, drag-to-select, and Ctrl+C copy -- the last needs
a CapturesPointerDrag opt-out on UiElement so an interior drag selects
text instead of moving the window (today an interior drag still moves
the window, same as the vitals panel).
Tests: UiChatView.ClampScroll (pin-to-bottom, cap-at-overflow,
never-negative).

Render each vital bar as a horizontal 3-slice from the real retail
RenderSurface sprites (authoritative ids from the vitals LayoutDesc
0x21000014 via dump-vitals-bars): a fixed-width bevelled left-cap, a
stretched glassy-gradient middle, and a fixed-width right-cap. The
empty back track draws full width; the coloured front fill grows from
the left to the value (the track owns the right end, so the fill omits
its own right-cap). Replaces the flat single-sprite Alphablend overlay
that read as the old UI - this is the bordered gradient look from the
retail screenshot (red HP / gold stamina / blue mana).
UiMeter gains the six 9-slice ids (BackLeft/Tile/Right +
FrontLeft/Tile/Right) and a DrawHBar helper; MarkupDocument parses the
backleft/backtile/backright/frontleft/fronttile/frontright attrs;
vitals.xml carries the 18 per-vital ids. The temporary
ACDREAM_BAR_PROVEOUT component grid is removed.
Adds AcDream.Cli render-vitals-mockup: a headless ImageSharp composite
that assembles the bars with the SAME DrawHBar logic, so the sprite
assembly can be verified by eye (Read the PNG) without launching the
client + server - the fast UI-iteration loop the user asked for.
export-ui-sprite dumps a single RenderSurface to PNG for HTML mockups.

UiMeter gains SpriteResolve/BackSpriteId/FrontSpriteId; when both are
set, OnDraw draws the empty-track sprite full-width then the colored-fill
sprite UV-cropped to the live fill fraction (left-to-right drain). Falls
back to solid rects when sprite ids are absent, keeping existing behavior
and tests intact.
MarkupDocument.Build() parses `back`/`front` hex attrs on <meter> and
passes `resolve` into every UiMeter. vitals.xml wires the authoritative
LayoutDesc 0x21000014 sprites (Health 0x06005F3C/3D, Stamina 3E/3F,
Mana 40/41). The bar prove-out block in GameWindow.cs was already gone.
If the sprites decode as 1x1 magenta at runtime they are paletted
(INDEX16/P8) — the solid-color fallback will display instead and can be
investigated separately.

The anchor pass added in f911b5f runs on every element's children — including
UiRoot's children, which are the top-level WINDOWS. With the default Left|Top
anchor, ApplyAnchor reset each window's Left/Top/Width/Height back to its
captured design rect EVERY frame, so user move/resize was undone instantly ("I
can't resize or move it"). A window is user-positioned, so it must not be
anchor-managed by its parent: set UiNineSlicePanel.Anchors = None. Children
INSIDE the window still anchor to it (the bars keep stretching with width).
Regression tests: UiNineSlicePanel.Anchors == None; ApplyAnchor(None) is a no-op.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add AnchorEdges [Flags] enum and Anchors property (default Left|Top, so
all existing elements are unchanged) to UiElement. ApplyAnchor() captures
the design-time margins on first call then recomputes Left/Top/Width/Height
each frame; DrawSelfAndChildren drives it for every child before painting.
ComputeAnchoredRect is public + static so it can be unit-tested without a
running frame loop.
MarkupDocument.Build gains a private Anchor() CSV parser and threads it
into the <meter> initializer via the anchor= attribute.
vitals.xml: remove title="Vitals" (retail vitals has no heading) and add
anchor="left,top,right" to all three meter bars so they stretch when the
panel is dragged wider.
Two new xUnit tests in UiRootInputTests: Left+Right stretches width;
Left+Top only keeps fixed size. All 19 App.Tests green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add ResizeX/ResizeY bool properties to UiElement (both true by default).
HitEdges() in UiRoot masks out locked axes after edge detection, so a
locked edge falls through to window-move behaviour — matching retail,
where the vitals bar height is fixed and only widens.
MarkupDocument.Build() parses an optional resize="x|y|both|none"
attribute on <panel>; vitals.xml gets resize="x" to enforce the
horizontal-only constraint in all instances of the panel.
Two new tests: HitEdges_RespectsResizeAxisLock (UiRootInputTests) and
Build_ResizeAttrX_SetsHorizontalOnly (MarkupDocumentTests). 11/11 green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add parallel resize mode to the UiRoot retained-mode input state machine.
A left-drag starting within ResizeGrip=5px of a Resizable window's edge or
corner resizes it (min-size clamped); interior drags on a Draggable window
still reposition it.
Changes:
- UiElement: Resizable, MinWidth, MinHeight properties
- UiRoot: ResizeEdges flags enum; _resizeTarget state fields; FindWindow
(replaces FindDraggable, matches Draggable||Resizable); HitEdges (static,
internal, testable); ResizeRect (static, public, testable); OnMouseDown
checks edge-grip before move; OnMouseMove resize branch precedes move;
OnMouseUp clears _resizeTarget
- UiNineSlicePanel: Resizable = true (retail windows are resizable)
- UiRootInputTests: 4 new tests — ResizeRect_RightBottom, ResizeRect_LeftTop
(min-clamp + origin shift), HitEdges_DetectsCornerAndInteriorNone,
EdgeDrag_ResizesPanel_InteriorDragMoves (full integration path)
Note on test coordinate: right-edge grab uses x=298 (2px inside the panel's
hit-test boundary) rather than x=300 (exactly at edge, misses OnHitTest's
strict `<` check). This is intentional — the grip zone extends inward from
the edge boundary, so a click 2px inside correctly lands in both the
hit-test rect AND the resize-grip zone.

- UiElement: add Draggable flag; left-drag on a draggable element repositions
it as a floating window instead of starting a drag-drop sequence.
- UiRoot: add WantsMouse/WantsKeyboard properties (mirrors ImGui's WantCaptureMouse
pattern); add FindDraggable helper; inject _windowDragTarget state machine into
OnMouseDown/OnMouseMove/OnMouseUp so draggable windows track the pointer offset.
- UiNineSlicePanel: set Draggable=true so retail window frames are movable by default.
- GameWindow: OR _uiHost?.Root.WantsMouse|WantsKeyboard into the SilkMouseSource
wantCaptureMouse/wantCaptureKeyboard delegates and the direct MouseMove gate so
game actions (movement, world-pick) are suppressed while the pointer is over a
retail window — no double-handling with the InputDispatcher.
- GameWindow: wire all Silk Mice/Keyboards to UiHost after construction so the
UiRoot tree receives live input.
- Tests: 3 new UiRootInputTests covering WantsMouse hit-test, window-drag
reposition, and non-draggable panel immobility.

Adds the plugin-facing UI registration surface (Task 9, final D.2b task).
Plugins call host.Ui.AddMarkupPanel(path, binding) from Enable(); calls are
buffered in BufferedUiRegistry before the GL window opens, then drained into
UiHost.Root in GameWindow.OnLoad inside the RetailUi block after the first-
party vitals panel. Faulty plugin markup is isolated (try/catch per panel,
logged + skipped). IPluginHost.Ui added; AppPluginHost wired; StubHost in
Core.Tests updated; BufferedUiRegistryTests confirms drain-once semantics.

Implements Task 8 of the D.2b retail-UI plan. MarkupDocument.Build() parses
KSML-style panel markup into a live UiNineSlicePanel subtree, resolving
{Binding} attribute expressions against a supplied object via reflection.
Color format is #AARRGGBB (alpha-first, matching controls.ini). Handles
<panel> root (geometry + optional title label) and <meter> children (fill,
label, bar color). Future element kinds (label, button, image) extend the
switch without touching existing code.
vitals.xml encodes the just-approved vitals panel layout (health red #FFC70D0D,
stamina gold #FFD49E1F, mana blue #FF1F33D9); ships next to the binary via
PreserveNewest csproj rule. GameWindow.cs drops the 35-line hand-built panel
block in favour of a 4-line File.ReadAllText + MarkupDocument.Build call —
identical tree, identical render, now data-driven.
2 new tests (Build_CreatesPanelWithMeterFillLabelAndGeometry,
Build_NullBindingValuesYieldNullFillAndLabel) + 11 total targeted green.

Adds ControlsIni — a minimal flat-INI reader for retail's controls.ini
(#AARRGGBB alpha-first color tokens; case-insensitive section/key lookup;
missing file returns an empty sheet with no throw). Wires the [title]
color token into the vitals panel's UiLabel in GameWindow.OnLoad, with
hardcoded white as the fallback. Visually a no-op (retail's [title] color
is white), but proves the stylesheet plumbing end-to-end (D.2b §7).
Three unit tests cover section parsing, #AARRGGBB decode, and graceful
missing-file handling.

Adds UiMeter, the horizontal vital-bar widget for the D.2b retail-look
UI toolkit. Solid-color fill for Spec 1; the retail orb sprite + scissor
crop path is reserved for a later sub-phase. Five unit tests (1 Fact +
4 Theory) cover half-fill geometry and clamping at -1/0/1/2 fractions.

Implements the retail floating-window bevel as a UiPanel subclass using
RetailChromeSprites: 4 tiled edges + 4 stretched corners + tiled center fill,
matching the 8-piece border layout confirmed by the D.2b Step-0 prove-out.
Resolver delegate keeps GL out of unit tests. Geometry verified by
ComputeFrameRects_PlacesCornersEdgesAndCenter (1/1 pass).

Adds two startup-time env toggles that Phase D.2b's retail-UI panel
frame will read:
- ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1 → opts.RetailUi (bool, default false)
- ACDREAM_AC_DIR=<path> → opts.AcDir (string?, default null)
Both follow the existing helper conventions (IsExactlyOne / NullIfEmpty).
No call sites broke because the only construction site in RuntimeOptions.cs
already uses named arguments.

User re-gate 2026-06-12: ran past distant buildings, 'Seems to have

edge, not a separate distant mechanism.

admission churn across all 21 building groups x {10,30,60,120,190} m

toggles each cell at most once over a monotone eye path; this asserts
no cell toggles >=2x.

The cellar-ascent grass window was the UNDERSIDE of the z~94 grade
sheet. Retail terrain is single-sided: ACRender::landPolysDraw
(0x006b7040) draws each land triangle ONLY when the camera is on the
POSITIVE (upper) side of its plane (Plane::which_side2 vs
Render::FrameCurrent, zFightTerrainAdjust bias) - a below-grade eye
gets NO terrain, so retail shows sky through the cellar door.
We inherited WB's frame-global cull DISABLE (WB GameScene.cs:841 - an
editor camera goes underground by design) and TerrainModernRenderer.Draw
set no cull state of its own -> terrain rasterized both sides. From a
below-grade eye every aperture sight-ray RISES, so the only 'terrain'
it can see is the grade sheet's underside - which painted the exit-door
aperture (the landscape slice's 2D NDC clip planes (nx,ny,0,dw) have no
depth axis and cannot exclude between-eye-and-portal geometry) and slid
off the door exactly as the eye crossed grade. Membership/viewer was
exonerated by the harness in the previous commit.
Fix: TerrainModernRenderer.Draw owns its cull state (the 7th
self-contained-GL-state instance): Enable(CullFace) + CullFace(Back) +
FrontFace(Ccw), set -> draw -> restore the frame-global CW + cull-off
baseline. GL backface culling evaluates retail's per-triangle eye-side
predicate at rasterization; no shader change.
Pins:
- LandblockMeshTests.Build_AllTriangles_WindCounterClockwiseInWorldXY:
every emitted triangle CCW in world XY across both FSplitNESW split
directions - the winding invariant culling depends on.
- TerrainCullOrientationTests: under the production camera convention
(LookAt up=+Z, Numerics perspective) an up-facing triangle winds CCW
in window space from above (kept) and CW from below (culled) - guards
FrontFace inversion, which would blank terrain from above.
Oracle note: retail's through-portal clip has NO portal-face near plane
(PView::GetClip / Render::set_view install edge planes only); nearer-
than-portal exclusion comes from the eye-side cull + cell-level
admission. No register row: this PORTS the retail mechanism, retiring
an undocumented WB-heritage deviation.
Gate pending: cellar climb (grass window gone) + outdoor sanity glance
(terrain intact from above).

The headless replay of the captured indoor frame proved the look-in flood ADMITS the porch 0x017A (Diagnostic_LookInFlood_AdmitsHallPorchFromCottage: 14 cells). So the portal (a SERVER object - the teleport proves it - with ParentCellId 0xA9B4017A) routes to partition.Dynamics and draws NOWHERE under an interior root: dynamics-last viewcone-culls it (the main cone has no look-in cells) and post-seal it would z-fail beyond the root's door plane (the #118 lesson). This is AP-33's own recorded deferral - 'look-in DYNAMICS are not drawn' - the deferred case was the most-stared-at object in town. Outdoors the merge path puts the porch in the main cone -> drawn -> 'appears when I walk out'.
Fix: DrawBuildingLookIns pass 2 draws look-in-cell dynamics with the statics (whole, AP-33 over-include) and their emitters ride the same DrawCellParticles call. No double-draw: dynamics-last keeps culling them; DrawDynamicsParticles only sees its cone survivors. #124 CLOSED by user gate same session. AP-33 row updated.

unattached=0 in the last capture refuted the unattached hypothesis (the fix-1 pass is vacuous); the swirl outdoors rides a MATCHED attached emitter, so its owner is an OutdoorStatic keyed by a synthetic id. The matched-ids dump on an inside-vs-outside capture pair names the owner: the id that flips. Issue131SetupProbeTests dumps the outstage candidate setups from the dat.

From inside a building, looking out at ANOTHER building with an opening
showed its back walls missing (see-through to the world): per-building
look-in floods only ran for outdoor roots; under an interior root the
far building's interior never flooded.
Decomp anchor (named-retail, this session's read): retail runs the
look-in INSIDE the landscape stage for ANY root - LScape::draw is the
FIRST call of PView::DrawCells' outside-view branch (pc:432719),
strictly BEFORE the depth clear (pc:432732) and the exit-portal seals
(pc:432785). ConstructView(CBldPortal) (0x005a59a0) clips each aperture
via GetClip against the INSTALLED view - the accumulated doorway region
when looked into from inside - and build_draw_portals_only pass 1
far-Z punches ALL apertures before pass 2 floods + draws any interior
cell. The nested DrawCells has an empty outside view (PView ctor
draw_landscape=0): no recursive landscape/clear/seal.
Port:
- GameWindow's per-building gather (frustum pre-gate on
Building.PortalBounds) now runs for interior roots too; the root's
own doorway self-excludes via the seed eye-side test (the eye is on
its interior side).
- PortalVisibilityBuilder.BuildFromExterior/ConstructViewBuilding gain
seedRegion - the installed-view clip: interior-root look-ins seed
against the OutsideView polygons (a building not visible through the
doorway never floods); null = full screen (outdoor roots unchanged).
- RetailPViewRenderer.DrawBuildingLookIns: a landscape-stage sub-pass
(before ClearDepthForInterior + seals) - per building, punch ALL
apertures (new DrawLookInPortalPunch callback, always forceFarZ=true,
closing the ISSUES "forceFarZ keys on root kind, under-punches" gap),
then draw the flooded cells' shells + statics far->near. Look-in
frames are NEVER merged into the main frame: a merged cell would draw
post-clear and z-fail against the root's seal (the old ledger
portShape sketch was wrong on this point).
- Look-in cells join the Prepare + partition set so shells have batches
and statics route to ByCell (consumed only by the sub-pass; the main
cell-object pass iterates the main flood's cells).
Register: AP-33 added in the same commit - look-in statics draw WHOLE
(no per-part viewcone; over-include is the safe direction) and look-in
DYNAMICS are deferred (an NPC inside a far building stays invisible -
retail draws objects per overlapped cell in the landscape stage).
Pins: Issue124LookInSeedRegionTests on the real corner-building door -
a seed region containing the aperture floods (and never more than the
full-screen seed), a disjoint region floods NOTHING, and an

The user's re-gate refuted the scissor fix as THE strip (6c4b6d6 was a
real but sub-pixel under-coverage): the strip survived, screenshot at a
doorway, full width of the opening, top edge only, "very subtle".
Root cause (pinned by Issue130DoorwayStripTests.UnliftedGate_*): the
+0.02 m shell render lift. Cell shells DRAW 2 cm above the dat origin
(z-fight vs coplanar terrain); f35cb8b (the #119-residual fix,
2026-06-11) deliberately reverted the VISIBILITY graph to the physics
(unlifted) transform - but the OutsideView color gate (terrain/sky/
scissor through the doorway) and the seal/punch depth fans are
DRAW-space consumers and kept projecting the unlifted polygons. The
drawn lintel therefore sits one lift-projection above the gate's top
edge - measured 6.7 px at a 2.4 m doorway - and that band never
receives terrain/sky color while the seal also stamps 2 cm low.
A regression from f35cb8b, NOT from the W=0 clip port (987313a stays
exonerated). Vertical aperture edges are immune (the lift slides them
along themselves) - top edge only, exactly as reported; explains the
"also NOW" timing precisely.
Fix - draw space draws lifted, visibility stays physics (the f35cb8b
invariant, now symmetric):
- PortalVisibilityBuilder.Build gains drawLiftZ: the exit-portal branch
projects the OutsideView region with the lifted transform; flood
admission, side tests, and CellViews are untouched (default 0 keeps
every existing visibility test bit-identical).
- The seal/punch fans (DrawRetailPViewPortalDepthWrite) lift their
world verts to the drawn shell's space.
- One shared constant PortalVisibilityBuilder.ShellDrawLiftZ feeds the
shell registration (GameWindow:5604), the gate, and the fans.
Register: AP-32 ADDED - the +0.02 lift had NO row (a pre-register
deviation the 2026-06-12 sweep missed). The row records the split
invariant both ways: a draw-space consumer that forgets the lift
re-opens the #130 strip; a visibility consumer that picks the lifted
transform re-opens the #119-residual side-cull.
Pins: the lifted gate covers the drawn (lifted) aperture to 0.00 px
across the 147-combo sweep; the unlifted gate shows the 6.7 px strip
(sensitivity proof - if the lift is ever removed, this test says the
drawLiftZ plumbing can go too).

The user's "doors/doorways leak through terrain and houses over a
landblock" is the #117 mark-pass bias evaluated in the wrong space.
Mechanism (confirmed analytically, Issue129PunchBiasTests): the punch's
pass-A stencil mark biased the aperture fan toward the viewer by a
CONSTANT 0.0005 NDC. NDC depth is non-linear - a constant NDC bias b
spans ~= b*d^2*(f-n)/(f*n) meters of eye depth at eye distance d. With
retail's znear 0.1 (d4b5c71) that is 0.125 m at 5 m but ~190 m at one
landblock: every hill/house in front of a distant aperture passed the
LEQUAL mark and was far-Z punched -> door-shaped leak through the
occluder. This is exactly the risk AD-18's register row recorded
("an occluder within ~bias in front of a distant aperture gets punched
through") - the symptom-scan rule found it before instrumentation.
Fix: cap the bias's EYE-SPACE span at 0.5 m -
biasNdc(d) = min(0.0005, capMeters * near / d^2)
in the mark-pass vertex shader (clipPos.w = eye depth), CPU-mirrored as
PortalDepthMaskRenderer.MarkBiasNdc for tests. Below the ~10 m
crossover the constant-NDC term is smaller and wins - bit-identical to
the T5-validated close-range behavior, so the #108 grass coverage that
justified the bias is untouched. Beyond it the punch can never reach an
occluder more than 0.5 m in front of the aperture plane.
Pins (Issue129PunchBiasTests): the old form spans >100 m of eye depth
at a landblock (the leak, kept as documentation of the refuted shape);
the capped form stays <= 0.5 m at every distance 1-400 m and matches
the validated constant bit-for-bit below 10 m.
AD-18 register row updated in the same commit (bias description + the
#129 closure + the residual risk note: door-hugging geometry beyond the
0.5 m cap at >10 m viewing range re-occludes - the cap constant is the
tuning knob if the gate shows residue).

The user's "thin strip of background color along the TOP outer edge of a
doorway, looking out from inside" is the landscape-slice scissor box, not
the W=0 clip port.
Mechanism (pinned headlessly, Issue130DoorwayStripTests, 147 eye/gaze
combos at the real Holtburg A9B4 0x0170 exit door):
- BeginDoorwayScissor converted the slice NDC AABB to pixels as
Floor(origin) + Ceiling(size). The far edge floor(min)+ceil(max-min)
lands up to ONE PIXEL SHORT of the true top/right edge at unlucky
fractional alignments (captured: top edge y=0.7938 @1080p -> row 968
cut; right edge column 1296 @1920 cut).
- The scissor brackets the ENTIRE landscape slice (sky, terrain, outdoor
statics, weather). The exit-portal SEAL stamps the full raw aperture at
true depth and the shell wall ends at the aperture edge, so the cut row
never receives any color write -> clear color, flickering with eye
movement as the fractional alignment shifts.
- This violated AD-17's own invariant (over-inclusion is safe,
UNDER-inclusion is the bug class). No register change: the fix restores
the row's documented doctrine.
Lead 1 (987313a W=0 clip port regression) REFUTED by the same harness:
the CPU polygon pipeline (ProjectToClip -> ClipToRegion merges ->
ClipPlaneSet planes) is sub-pixel exact against the raw aperture
projection (worst 0.54 px, 0.00 px aligned). For an all-in-front doorway
polygon the port is bit-identical to the old 1e-4 path by construction.
The EyeInsidePortalOpening rescue stays deleted.
Fix: conservative outer bound floor(min)/ceil(max) extracted to
NdcScissorRect.ToPixels (GL-free; containment property proven in the
header comment); BeginDoorwayScissor delegates.
Pins:
- NdcScissorRectTests: center-inside containment across 251 fractional
alignments x 2 framebuffer sizes + both captured regression cases.
- Issue130DoorwayStripTests: production flood + assembler at the real
exit door; asserts the scissor never cuts a plane-admitted fragment
(worstScissorGap 0.00 px post-fix, was 10.8 px capped) and the CPU
pipeline stays sub-pixel exact (canary 1.2 px).

Ports retail ACRender::polyClipFinish (0x006b6d00, pc:702749) near-eye
semantics into PortalProjection.ProjectToClip - the fundamental fix for
the in-plane portal clip family (climb strobes, tower-top roof/floor
flap while turning; live-corroborated this session: [viewer-diff]
0xAAB30108 strobing 27x mid-climb, whole interior dropping at the top).
Pseudocode: docs/research/2026-06-11-polyclipfinish-w0-clip-pseudocode.md.
Three legs, all decomp-driven:
1. ProjectToClip clips at w >= 0 EXACTLY (was EyePlaneW=1e-4), with
retail's any-negative-w gate. Boundary intersections land at w == 0
(homogeneous directions), so a portal the eye is CROSSING yields the
correct unbounded half-region that the bounded view-region clip cuts
to the screen. A w=0 vertex cannot survive a bounded region clip
into the divide (direction fails some edge of any bounded convex
region); the measure-zero corner case is guarded non-finite->empty.
2. CellView.CanonicalKey keys ALL-COLLINEAR (zero-area) views as their
snapped segment ("L:" + extremes) instead of rejecting them - retail
PROPAGATES degenerate views (ClipPortals decomp:433651-433711
forwards any count!=0 GetClip output, no area gate anywhere), keeping
the cell behind an exactly-in-plane portal in the draw list (cells
draw whole; onward floods die naturally). Rejection dropped the
whole chain for the frame - the parked-eye knife-edge band. Finite
key space unchanged -> dedup + strict-growth convergence intact.
3. The EyeInsidePortalOpening rescue is DELETED (the T2-documented
compensation for the 1e-4 divergence) along with EyeStandingPerpDist
+ PointInPoly2D. Empty clip = no flood, period (retail's rule).
CornerFloodReplay - the gate that REFUTED the previous deletion
attempt - passes WITHOUT the rescue under the W=0 port.
Harness criterion corrected to retail's rules (it codified the rescue):
cells fully BEHIND the camera are not required (all-behind portals clip
empty in retail); monotone area holds per root regime; the two
manufactured exact-on-plane steps assert root-only (boundary root pick
is ambiguous; the in-plane portal there is ~perpendicular to the gaze =
genuinely off-screen). Build_CollapsedInteriorPortalNearEye test
inverted to pin the retail empty-clip rule (it pinned the rescue).
New pins: eye-crossing portal -> w==0 boundary verts + half-region (not
sliver); gaze-along-plane degenerate view accepted + segment-key dedup;
non-finite guard. Replay harnesses (CornerFloodReplay, Issue120,
TowerAscent, HouseExit, Issue127) all green.

The live capture pinned it end to end. BuildInteriorEntitiesForStreaming
lifts the render-side cell transform +0.02 m Z (shell z-fighting vs
terrain - a DRAW concern) and passed that LIFTED transform to
BuildLoadedCell, so every plane in the visibility graph sat 2 cm high.
The portal side test's in-plane window is +-10 mm: an eye standing ON a
floor containing a HORIZONTAL portal (the tower's deck lip 010A->0107,
stair landings, cellar mouths) sits 0-10 mm above the TRUE plane = 10-20
mm BELOW the lifted plane -> outside the window -> the cell behind the
portal side-culled out of the flood. Captured live at the stair top:
root=0xAAB3010A eye z=126.803 vs the portal plane at 126.80, flood=1,
0x0107 (the whole tower interior incl. the staircase) dropped WHILE THE
GAZE LOOKED STRAIGHT AT IT - "stairs disappear and you can walk on
them", and the roof/edge flap as the gaze swung the marginal admissions.
Vertical doorways were immune (the lift slides their planes along
themselves) - exactly why this hit stairs/decks/floors and not doors.
Chase chain (the apparatus did all the work): [viewer] print-on-change
probe with eye@mm -> the user's climb capture -> [viewer-diff] naming
the dropped cells per flip -> headless replay of the exact captured
(eye,fwd) frame: healthy UNLIFTED, reproduces ONLY with the production
lift -> gate-by-gate diagnostic (side test dot=+0.003 unlifted vs
-0.017 lifted; clip + rescue exonerated; knife-edge z-sweep all-stable,
killing the float-chaos theory).
Fix: BuildLoadedCell receives the PHYSICS (unlifted) transform; the
drawn shells keep their lift. The seal/punch fans (which read the
visibility LoadedCell's WorldTransform) now stamp TRUE depth - MORE
consistent with the unlifted terrain they protect.
Pins: CapturedTopOfStairs_MainCellStaysInFlood - arm 1 (unlifted =
post-fix production) asserts the main cell admitted at the captured
frame; arm 2 (lifted) is the mechanism canary asserting the drop, with
instructions if it ever starts passing. Plus the gate-by-gate
diagnostic + knife-edge sweep as the investigation record.
Also this session: Issue127FloodFlipReplayTests (the captured 4 cm
outdoor flip pair replays STABLE across fovs/pre-gate arms - the
outdoor churn is NOT the flood math; remaining #127 = distant-building
admission churn, lower priority now that the tower-cell drops are
explained by the lift), and the [viewer-diff] probe (per-flip added/
removed cell naming - keep, it found this).

User verdict on the post-#120 build: "Barrel is gone and more stairs
exist" - the #120 fix partially cured the tower, and the earlier
"legit dat barrels on the landings" claim is RETRACTED (USER AXIOM: the
barrel is NOT in the tower in retail; what the user saw was itself a
render artifact of the corrupted floods, and what the 0x020005D8 cell
statics actually render as is unverified - do not assume barrel).
Remaining tower bugs, both PINNED by TowerAscentReplayTests (the #118
exit-walk pattern, vertical - a helix ascent with the gaze locked ON
the staircase, so a cull has no gaze excuse):
- steps 195-201 (eye z 126.9-127.3, the roof-lip band between the main
cell's ceiling at 126.8 and the roof aperture plane at ~127.2) resolve
OUTDOOR and the per-building exterior flood admits NOTHING (flood=1 =
the outdoor node alone): the eye is above every side aperture's useful
view and ON/INSIDE the roof aperture's plane, so BuildFromExterior's
seed side-test / in-plane reject refuses every exit portal. The tower
interior never floods -> the staircase (a 0x0107 static) cone-culls
while staying walkable (user symptom 1), and the roof-lip cell
geometry flaps as the live eye bobs across the band's edges (user
symptom 2). One mechanism, both symptoms.
- The pin is committed as a SKIPPED red test
(TowerAscent_StaircaseStaysConeVisible_EveryStep; the skip reason
carries the defect) so the suite stays green - un-skip with the fix.
- TowerAscent_RootDoesNotPingPong + the per-step diagnostic stay active.
Fix direction (oracle-first, next): determine which side diverges from
retail - (a) viewer-cell resolution (retail curr_cell may keep the eye
INTERIOR through the band: keep-curr above open-top cells / cell BSP
classifying the parapet bowl as inside 0x010A, where our resolution

The armed tripwire self-attributed on the re-gate launch
(regate-118-119-launch.log): a pure TWO-CELL reciprocal ping-pong, 64 laps
each - chain root=0xA9B4015C eye=(109.995,37.158,96.249) cells 0162x64
015Cx64, and root=0xA9B3010F eye=(175.771,-107.310,118.814) cells 0103x64
010Fx64 (A9B3 = the hill cottage the user reports going all-transparent on
entry - likely the same mechanism, verify at the next gate).
Mechanism: with the eye within PortalSideEpsilon (+-1 cm; the T2
refuted-to-tighten root-lag tolerance - retail's is 0.0002) of a portal
plane, the in-plane case counts as interior for BOTH cells, so views lap
A->B->A...; each lap re-clips through two near-edge-on apertures whose
intersection numerics wobble by more than CellView's 1e-3 dedup grid, so
every lap keys as NEW and the in-place growth recurses to the depth-128
failsafe. The prior convergence sweeps could not reproduce because they
only load the corner building 0x016F-0x0175 - both firing pairs are
outside that set. Issue120ReciprocalPingPongTests loads the full
landblock's interior cells and drives the +-epsilon window directly:
deterministic firings + 65-polygon CellView piles pre-fix.
Fix (the handoff's own predicted class - dedup admitting near-duplicates
per lap, NOT a limit tune): CellView.Add rejects a polygon CONTAINED in
one already stored (convex edge test, DedupGridNdc slack). A round-trip
re-emission is, in exact arithmetic, a SUBSET of the polygon that
originated it - containment rejection makes union growth strictly
area-increasing, so no new visible area means no propagation. Bonus:
back-emission into a full-screen view (the root cell) now always rejects.
The corner-flood completeness pins stay green - no real region is dropped.

Root cause (pinned by the new deterministic exit-walk harness, NOT guessed):
under an interior render root, the exit-portal SEAL stamps the door fan at
TRUE depth after the gated full depth clear, and T1's "ALL dynamics last"
pass then drew the outdoor-classified player depth-tested - every fragment
beyond the door plane z-failed against the seal across the whole aperture.
Harness measured the full window: from the moment the sphere center crosses
the plane until the eye follows (~2.6 m of camera lag, ~2.2 s at walk speed)
the player is invisible; while straddling, the beyond-plane body half clips
at the plane. The handoff's three cone-level candidates are all EXONERATED:
the cone walk passes every step; (eye, ViewerCellId) come from the same
SweepEye call with camera-update-before-visibility-read in the same frame;
the side-test window is sub-epsilon under healthy resolution.
Retail oracle (grep-named-first): PView::DrawCells 0x005a4840 runs
LScape::draw FIRST (pc:432719), then the gated depth clear (pc:432731-32)
and the exit-portal seals (pc:432785-86); outdoor cell objects draw inside
the landscape stage (DrawBlock 0x005a17c0 -> DrawSortCell pc:430124), and
an object draws once per overlapped shadow cell (pc:430056-64) - the
straddling body composes from both stages, neither half clips.
Fix: RetailPViewRenderer assigns dynamics to the OUTSIDE stage under an
interior root when outdoor-classified OR sphere-straddling an exit-portal
plane of their flood-visible cell (DynamicDrawsInOutsideStage - pure, the
harness drives it as the ordering contract); they ride the landscape slice
draw (pre-clear, seal-protected) with the same per-slice cone test as
outdoor statics. Indoor dynamics keep the last pass (retail loop C);
straddlers draw in both (retail shadow dual-draw). Outdoor roots keep
all-dynamics-last - the BR-2 punch-after-dynamics lesson (88be519) stands.

next firing the log carries root cell, eye, per-cell frequency summary,
and the 24-entry chain tail, so the cycle's structure (A<->B ping-pong
vs 3-cycle laps) reads directly off the output. Both sweeps stay as
regression pins.
App tests: 227 green (was 225; +2 pins).

The A6.P4 port, fused into one installment per the BR-2 half-port lesson
(registration and query are co-dependent: flood-registering shells under
the old radial query would re-open #98 through the vestibule).
REGISTRATION (ShadowObjectRegistry rewritten):
- Register/RegisterMultiPart/UpdatePosition compute the cell set via
CellTransit.BuildShadowCellSet (the C2 find_cell_list flood) seeded by
the entity's m_position cell id; the private 24m XY-grid rectangle and
its single-landblock clamp are deleted. Flood spheres follow retail's
CylSphere rule (base point + cyl radius, cap 10; BSP bounding-sphere
fallback - Ghidra 0x0052b9f0). Statics flood with the do_not_load
prune; dynamics (server spawns, isStatic:false) without.
- Keep-when-empty (SetPositionInternal num_cells gate, pc:283540): a
failed flood leaves the previous registration in place.
- RefloodLandblock: streaming-race hook re-runs the flood when a
landblock's cells hydrate (retail init_objects -> recalc_cross_cells,
Ghidra 0x0052b420/0x00515a30); wired at GameWindow's hydration tail.
- GameWindow sites pass the server position's full cell id as the seed
(spawn + UpdatePosition); the five static sites pass ParentCellId.
BUILDING CHANNEL (CSortCell.building shape):
- Building SHELLS are not shadow objects in retail (only caller of
find_building_collisions is CSortCell::find_collisions 0x005340aa;
one building per origin landcell, init_buildings 0x0052fd80 verified
verbatim + ACE cross-ref). IsBuildingShell entities skip the registry;
Transition.FindBuildingCollisions runs the shell part-0 BSP off
cache.GetBuilding(cellId) with bldg_check set around it
(find_building_collisions 0x006b5300), CollidedWithEnvironment on
non-Contact non-OK. BuildingPhysics.ModelId = pre-resolved part-0
GfxObj (0x02 Setups resolved at the CacheBuilding site).
- Placement/ethereal weakening: BSPQuery Path 1 passes center_solid=0
when BldgCheck && HitsInteriorCell (BSPTREE::find_collisions 0x0053a82e
+ placement_insert 0x005399d8) so doorway crossings don't hard-fail
against shell solids. SpherePath gains both retail fields;
HitsInteriorCell is rebuilt at every cell-array build
(build_cell_array reset 0x00509ef2 + find_cell_list/check_building_
transit set sites).
QUERY (retail per-cell order, transitional_insert 0x0050b6f0):
- TransitionalInsert per attempt: env -> building (LandCell only) ->
objects on the PRIMARY cell, then on OK the check_other_cells pass
(env -> building -> objects per OTHER overlapped cell) + the
carried-cell advance - the advance now happens AFTER all per-cell
object passes (the WF1 ordering divergence), with Adjusted/Slid
feeding the retry exactly like retail's OK_TS case.
- FindObjCollisionsInCell = CObjCell::find_obj_collisions (0x0052b750):
iterate ONLY the asked cell's list. DELETED: the radial 9-landblock
sweep, the +5m query pad, the b3ce505 indoor-primary gate, and the
isViewer exemption (the camera is bounded by interior cell-BSP env
collision - retail's own channel; CameraCornerSealReplayTests pins it
against real dat, and the new building-channel camera test pins the
outdoor stop).
TESTS: Core 1416/0/2 (was 1398 + 4 pre-existing #99-era fails + 1 skip),
App 225, UI 420, Net 294 - all green.
- 3 of the 4 #99-era reds flipped green as designed: the door apparatus
(Apparatus_Grounded_50cmOffCenter_FrontApproach_Blocks) and tick-13558
(indoor walkthrough) now assert the door BLOCKS; tick-22760 pins the
outdoor blocking invariant.
- The 4th (BSPStepUp D4) + 22760's lateral-slide delta are NOT cell-set
problems (probes prove the door is found + BSP-only dispatched;
BR-7 left both byte-identical) - filed as issue #116 (slide-response
family), D4 skipped with the issue reference.
- FindEnvCollisionsMultiCellTests migrated to the public entry (the A4
multi-cell halt now lives at the retail call site).
- New registry pins: per-cell query surface, outdoor-footprint-never-
indoor (#98 architectural), door-outdoor-cell membership, reflood.
- CameraCollisionIndoorTests rewritten against the building channel
(the isViewer-exemption pins died with the exemption).
Closes#99 (doors block both ways via registration-time cell membership
+ the straddle-spanning player cell array). #97 likely closed (the +5m
radial pad that produced phantom-collision candidates is gone) - verify
at T5. #98 stays closed ARCHITECTURALLY (outdoor footprints structurally
cannot reach interior cells; the cellar harness stays green).

The complete retail drawing order in one installment (per the amended plan:
every installment is a COMPLETE retail behavior - the half-ported punch of
88be519 is re-landed here WITH the ordering that makes it correct):
static world (sky/terrain/weather/shells/scenery)
-> aperture depth writes (interior SEAL at true depth / outdoor+look-in
PUNCH to far-Z; PortalDepthMaskRenderer, DrawPortalPolyInternal
Ghidra 0x0059bc90)
-> interior cells WHOLE, far-to-near, drawn once (DrawCells Loop 2,
Ghidra 0x005a4840; use_built_mesh pc:427905)
-> per-cell STATIC object lists
-> ALL dynamics LAST (DrawDynamicsLast), depth-tested, never hard-clipped
InteriorEntityPartition: new contract - every ServerGuid != 0 entity goes
to Dynamics regardless of cell (indoor/outdoor/unresolved/hidden); ByCell
carries only dat-baked indoor statics of visible cells; Outdoor renamed
OutdoorStatic. Fixes the audit's livedynamic-invisible-under-interior-roots
divergence as a side effect (live entities are never dropped by the
visibility set; culling is T3's viewcone).
DELETED (retail has no counterpart): the gl_ClipDistance shell chop
(927fd8f enable + 9ce335e outdoor scoping + UseShellClipRouting + the
per-slice shell loop + clipShells param) - retail never clips cell
geometry; aperture exactness = punch/seal + z-buffer + this order. The
old per-slice scissored AABB depth clear is replaced by retail's single
gated full clear (ClearDepthForInterior). The interior-root LiveDynamic
top-up draw and the look-in's dynamics involvement are gone (one last
pass, no double-draws).
Closes at the T5 gate (expected): #114 (chop deleted), the char-eaten-by-
doorway regression (ordering), outdoor interiors-through-doorways (punch);
#108's render half (seal) - its membership half stays re-attributed.
Suites: build green, App 226 green (partition tests rewritten to the T1
contract), Core 1398 + 4 pre-existing #99-era + 1 skip.
