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surfaces it fully superseded.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

The ImGui developer-tools stack (AcDream.UI.ImGui), UI Studio
(src/AcDream.App/Studio), and the DevToolsFramePresenter/
SettingsDevToolsCompositionPhase ImGui composition machinery are removed.
Vulkan never composed a DevTools frontend (DevToolsEnabled already forced
false whenever the backend was Vulkan); this commit makes that permanent by
deleting the only implementation rather than leaving a dead branch behind.
What moved: Studio/SampleData.cs is a live production dependency
(InteractionRetainedUiComposition's character-sheet fallback, plus three
UI.Layout test files) - git mv'd to src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/SampleData.cs,
namespace AcDream.App.UI.Layout, and trimmed to the SampleCharacter API that
is actually still called (BuildObjectTable/AddItem/AddEquipped/the item-guid
and icon constants had zero callers left once the Studio fixture provider
that used them was deleted).
What survives as backend-neutral seams, per the tests that still exercise
them: IDevToolsFrameLifecycle (moved into RenderFramePreparationController.cs,
now always bound to null), IFramebufferDevToolsTarget/FramebufferDevToolsBinding
in FramebufferResizeController.cs (its concrete DevToolsFramebufferTarget
adapter is deleted), and IDevToolsGameplayCommands in
GameplayInputCommandController.cs (DevToolsGameplayCommands becomes a
documented no-op instead of forwarding to the deleted presenter). A follow-up
re-homes Settings/Debug onto the retained UI through IPanelRenderer; until
then keybind remapping falls back to editing keybinds.json.
DevToolsEnabled is now `private const bool DevToolsEnabled = false`.
RuntimeOptions.DevTools is unchanged and still reaches VulkanGraphicsContext
for the optional debug-utils extensions; Program.cs now logs one line when
ACDREAM_DEVTOOLS=1 explaining that the ImGui UI is gone and the flag is
Vulkan-only now.
Removed: AcDream.UI.ImGui (project + ImGui.NET/Silk.NET.OpenGL.Extensions.ImGui
package refs), src/AcDream.App/Studio (minus SampleData.cs),
DevToolsFramePresenter.cs and everything only it constructed
(ISettingsDevToolsCompositionFactory, RetailSettingsDevToolsCompositionFactory,
DevToolsCompositionOwner, IGameWindowSettingsDevToolsPublication,
SettingsDevToolsOptionalDependencies, the "developer tools" shutdown-ledger
stage and its DevTools-typed fields on IngressShutdownRoots/
RenderShutdownRoots), the ui-studio Program.cs verb, and the cimgui native
manifest entries in GraphicalHostPlatformServices. GameWindow.cs's DevTools
composition branch, its _vitalsVm/_debugVm/_devToolsComposition/
_devToolsFramePresenter/_devToolsCommandBus fields, and every settingsDevTools
.DevTools?.* access across FrameRootComposition.cs/SessionPlayerComposition.cs
are gone with it.
Build green; complete Release solution suite 8,830 / 5 skips (App Tests
4,097/3 skips run standalone - one #250-family zero-allocation test flakes
under the full parallel `dotnet test AcDream.slnx` run, a pre-existing,
documented class unrelated to this change).

ACDREAM_RENDER_BACKEND=vulkan now runs the real GameWindow composition rather
than a second main(). All nine phases execute: DAT load, streaming, camera,
entity table, session, and the real retained UiHost drawing through the RHI.
No world renderers — they are raw GL until V4t and the world arm behind it.
The offline log is the client's own (acdream.pak opened, 6266 spells, Region
0x13000000, "loading world view centered on 0xA9B4FFFF", fourteen retail
LayoutDesc lines, streaming radii), and the captured frame is the retail
retained UI: vitals, combat/spell bar with DAT scarab icons, the nine-slot
toolbar, chat with tabs and Send, radar/compass with dat-font glyphs. Sampled
against the GL capture the widgets agree — chat interior RGBA (25,24,27,158)
vs (22,21,23,158), vitals bar (117,1,0) and toolbar slot (0,11,17) identical.
Three seams, as §5.5.9 specified:
1. Platform acquisition — already generic — publishes GameWindowGraphics
instead of a bare GL. Phases that still speak raw GL read Graphics.Gl and
take their Vulkan arm when it is null; each branch names the slice that
removes it.
2. VulkanHostInputCameraCompositionFactory is a new file and the whole of the
Phase-1 fork: four graphics members differ, input/camera/pointer delegate.
The default factory is chosen inside the phase from the platform result.
HostInputCameraResult gained backend-neutral Retirement and FrameSlots.
3. The frame root forks on one condition. The GL world-scene assembly is
unchanged, wrapped in `if (gl is not null)`; the Vulkan arm's graph is one
backbuffer clear pass computing the same RenderFrameFoundation from the same
clock and weather owners, then private presentation over it.
§5.5.9's three TextureCache couplings are unpicked: the constructor takes GL?
and rejects bindless without one, world entry points route through a Gl
property that throws naming V4t, and the (GlGpuTexture) VRAM-accounting cast
became a backend test. That cast's stated reason — DrawSprite's texture-unit
binding — was already stale, deleted at V6d.
VulkanBringUpHost is reduced to the capability-probe harness it is named for:
the instance/surface/device/swapchain sequence moved into VulkanGraphicsContext,
which the composition host and the harness now share. It is reached only with
ACDREAM_VULKAN_PROBE=1.
One latent Vulkan defect surfaced and is fixed here. The first composition-host
frame died with ErrorDeviceLost; validation named VUID-vkCmdDraw-None-08600 —
descriptor set 2 never bound. VulkanGpuPassEncoder bound sets 0/1/2 only as a
side effect of BindStorageBuffer/BindUniformBuffer, so a pass sampling the
texture table while binding no buffer — every retained-UI and debug-line pass —
drew with the table unbound. It survived V6c-V6g because the bring-up host
always drew VulkanRhiScene first and the UI pass inherited its binds; the
composition host has no 3-D scene. The fix is one line in the encoder's
constructor beside the viewport and scissor defaults, which exist for exactly
the same reason: a pass opens with complete binding state rather than depending
on what preceded it.
Gates: strict GL offline pixel gate against 46d893f7 measures 1.24e-05 (7 of
563,200 pixels), inside the documented 15-23 px / 4.1e-05 band, so GL behaviour
did not move. App tests 4,075/3 skips; complete Release suite 9,138/5 skips.
One full Vulkan run with VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation: zero errors, zero
warnings. Both Vulkan runs converged the ownership ledger — no [shutdown]
diagnostic on either stream. The reduced probe harness presented 34,811
validation-clean frames.
No divergence-register row: GL is the shipping backend and the pixel gate proves
it unmoved; the Vulkan arm is not a retail deviation but a backend under
construction.
Next is V4t, the texture stack, which the world arm cannot be written without.

Make every App composition phase borrow one GameRuntime, retire the duplicate view/event adapters, and dispose the root only after its graphical borrowers release. This preserves synchronous UI commands while giving shutdown one exact ownership ledger.

Move the exact retryable shutdown manifest, typed root snapshot, terminal reporting, and native-window-last release out of GameWindow. Keep session and GPU convergence as hard barriers while reporting persistent physical callback cleanup without stranding dependent owners.
