authored gmSecureTradeUI window, and both retail open paths
Three-lane research first (docs/research/2026-08-14-trade-lane{A,B,C}):
retail gmSecureTradeUI decode, the byte-exact ACE/decomp/holtburger
three-way wire agreement, and the acdream seam map (which found both
open paths ALREADY classified by the ported policy - OpenSecureTrade on
Use-a-player, StartSecureTrade on drag-item-onto-player with the
DragItemOnPlayerOpensSecureTrade option - dead-ending at a stub toast).
- Core.Net: TradeRequests builders (0x1F6-0x204, retail's CM_Trade
senders byte-checked against ACE's readers; the ACE-discarded
AcceptTrade echo carries zero-count item lists - AD-94), corrected +
completed inbound parsers (0x1FD-0x208; the old AddToTrade parser
missed the SIDE dword, TradeFailure missed the reason), delegate-hole
registrars, six WorldSession sends. 10 golden-byte tests.
- Runtime: RuntimeTradeState, the third sibling J-owner (fellowship/
allegiance shape): session-scoped, clears at generation reset (new
stage Trade=14), staged teardown stage 11 (Identity/EntityObjects
shift 12/13, TeardownStageCount 14 - the FA2-era per-stage-flag test
caught the mapping exactly as designed), combined ownership ledger,
event routing with ACE's wrong-initiator RegisterTrade landmine
honored (partner = whichever guid is not mine). 7 conformance tests.
- App: SecureTradeUiController binds the dedicated authored LayoutDesc
0x2100000D (root 0x1000007A - gmSecureTradeUI::PostInit's exact ids):
partner name/status/count/grid, the authored 'Trade' accept toggle
(accept <-> decline withdraw), 'Clear All' (ACE clears BOTH sides -
surfaced honestly), the X close, drop-on-your-grid staging, per-mode
accept cues (partner icon's authored Highlight state + Trade button
Selected latch). Mounted via the vendor recipe (nine-slice chrome,
hidden until RegisterTrade). ItemInteractionController's two policy
arms now raise SecureTradeRequested instead of the stub toast; the
drag path queues the dragged item until the window registers
(ClientTradeSystem::AttemptToTradeItem @0x0056DF80's shape).
Register: AD-94 (accept-echo zero-count lists), AD-95 (numeric-only
count texts pending template verification).
Suites: App 4,990/3, Core.Net 905, Runtime 1,626 - all green. The
panel itself is user-gate acceptance (two-client connected trade), the
#372-class lesson: fixture-green alone is not acceptance for a mount.

Two MUST-FIX findings from the FA2 mechanism/blast reviews
(docs/research/2026-08-12-fa2-review-mechanism.md,
docs/research/2026-08-12-fa2-review-blast.md):
MF-1 (mechanism) -- RuntimeAllegianceState survived a generation reset,
contradicting retail (ClientAllegianceSystem::OnEndCharacterSession
@0x00569FA0 tail-calls AllegianceProfile::Clear at the same boundary
Fellowship already clears at), contradicting the precedent it cited
(RuntimeCharacterOptionsState.ResetSession clears-and-relatches, it does
not persist), and pinned by a test asserting the wrong behavior. Fixed:
RuntimeAllegianceState.ResetSession() clears the profile and drops
HasServerSeed; a new RuntimeGenerationResetStage.Allegiance stage runs it
on every generation reset, mirroring RuntimeFellowshipState exactly.
RuntimeGenerationResetTests' FellowshipClearsAtResetButAllegianceSurvivesReconnect
inverted to FellowshipAndAllegianceBothClearAtGenerationReset.
MF-2 (mechanism) / blast MF-2 -- 0x027C AllegianceInfoResponse fed the
Runtime allegiance owner (self-gated). Retail's own handler for 0x027C
(CM_Allegiance::DispatchUI_AllegianceInfoResponseEvent @0x006a7470) unpacks
into a stack-local profile destroyed on return; the consumer
(Handle_Allegiance__AllegianceInfoResponseEvent @0x0056a1d0) only prints
AddTextToScroll lines. Retail's panel is fed exclusively by 0x0020
AllegianceUpdate. The removed seeding also fabricated
RuntimeAllegianceSnapshot.Rank (0x027C carries no rank field) on any
client whose first allegiance message was a self @allegiance info query.
Fixed: dropped ApplyInfoResponseSelf, the onAllegianceInfoResponseSelf
delegate hole, and the self-gate; 0x027C is text-only again, matching
retail and the pre-FA2 shape.
Also covers blast SHOULD-FIX 1 in the same edit to LiveSessionEventRouter.cs:
the fellowship/allegiance delegate holes are now passed conditionally on
the owner being supplied, so GameEventDispatcher.GetUnhandledCount reads
correctly for callers without an owner (bare-ChatLog tests, a future
partial host) instead of silently reading 0 for 9 event types whose parse
result was discarded.
RuntimeAllegianceState.cs and the two owners' Apply* mutators also move
their ObjectDisposedException.ThrowIf checks inside the lock they already
take (mechanism SHOULD-FIX 2) -- the prior check-then-lock shape let an
inbound event on the decode thread race Dispose on the host thread and
repopulate state after _disposed = true, permanently falsifying
CaptureOwnership().IsConverged at teardown.

Two new sibling Runtime owners under GameRuntime per the Slice-J
pattern (D2): RuntimeFellowshipState is session-scoped (a new
RuntimeGenerationResetStage.Fellowship clears it at every generation
reset, matching the ExternalContainer precedent); RuntimeAllegianceState
survives reconnect behind a HasServerSeed-style one-way latch and
participates in NO reset stage (its data persists like a real
disconnect does not sever allegiance membership).
Fellowship: full-update REPLACE, incremental-fellow UPSERT, self-vs-
other quit/dismiss removal (self clears the whole snapshot), disband
clear, and retail's leader hand-off rule for the Quit button
(RequiresLeaderHandoffBeforeQuit -- the current leader quitting WITHOUT
disbanding must send 0x0290 AssignNewLeader before 0x00A3, lane B
§2.5/§3.6).
Allegiance: seeded by AllegianceUpdate (0x0020, always self) and,
self-gated on TargetGuid == playerGuid(), by AllegianceInfoResponse
(0x027C); wraps the FA1-assembled flat AllegianceMemberRecord list
directly (AllegianceTree was deleted at FA1 -- nothing left to wrap).
Both apply the full 8-edit J-owner template: construction + fault
points + Owner/View properties + CaptureOwnership + a new
GameRuntimeTeardownStage pair (FellowshipDisposed/AllegianceDisposed,
stage count 11->13) + RuntimeGameplayOwnershipSnapshot inclusion +
RuntimeStateCheckpoint/trace fields. IRuntimeFellowshipCommands/
IRuntimeAllegianceCommands added to IGameRuntimeCommands and
implemented on DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter. No IRuntimeEventObserver
member added (D2) -- consumers poll Snapshot.Revision.
