4717a5b6f7 docs(research): canonical retail keymap + dump-keymap tool
Pre-Phase K research artifact. Captures the AC retail default keymap
in two complementary forms so the upcoming InputAction enum + retail
preset (Phase K.1c) can be built byte-precise.

- docs/research/named-retail/retail-default.keymap.txt — verbatim
  copy of the user's test.keymap from
  ~/Documents/Asheron's Call/. Human-readable text format with
  every binding categorized: MovementCommands (W/X/A/D/Z/C/Q/Space/
  LShift/S + Y/G/H/B postures), ItemSelectionCommands (F/T/P + 18
  punctuation keys for compass/item/monster/player/fellow targeting),
  UICommands (F1-F12 panel toggles, R=USE, E=Examine, Esc=close,
  Shift+Esc=Logout), QuickslotCommands (1-9 + Ctrl/Alt variants for
  hotbar pages), Combat / MeleeCombat / MissileCombat / MagicCombat
  (mode-dependent Insert/PgUp/Delete/End/PgDn), Emotes
  (U=Cry, I=Laugh, J=Wave, O=Cheer, K=Point), CameraControls (numpad
  cluster), MouseCommands, ScrollableControls, EditControls,
  CopyAndPasteControls, DialogBoxes. 346 lines.

- docs/research/named-retail/keymap-default.txt — binary dump of
  the gmDefaultMap MasterInputMap from client_portal.dat at file id
  0x14000000. Decoded via the new tools/dump-keymap utility:
  scancodes + modifier flags + action IDs + activation phase per
  context. Confirms the text file's bindings against the dat-shipped
  default. Cross-referenced against
  acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:405510 (ACCmdInterp::OnAction) for the
  movement dispatch logic and :365889 (CPlayerSystem::OnAction) for
  the targeting dispatch.

- tools/dump-keymap/ — dotnet console tool referencing
  references/DatReaderWriter. Reads MasterInputMap entries from a
  dat directory + emits human-readable per-context binding tables.
  Reusable for future custom keymap analysis. Run with:
    dotnet run --project tools/dump-keymap/dump-keymap.csproj -c Release
  Default dat dir is %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Asheron's Call.

Foundation for Phase K — control system overhaul. Plan documented at
~/.claude/plans/ticklish-conjuring-cake.md.

69d884a3d6 tools(pdb-extract): #8 PDB -> symbols.json + types.json sidecar
Pure-Python MSF 7.00 PDB extractor (no deps, stdlib only). Reads
refs/acclient.pdb directly:
  - DBI stream (3) -> symbol record stream index + section header
    stream index
  - Section headers stream (9) -> per-segment image VA bases
  - Symbol record stream (8) -> S_PUB32 records with image VAs
  - TPI stream (2) -> LF_CLASS / LF_STRUCTURE named records (not
    forward-declared), with size leaf + name

Includes a best-effort MSVC C++ demangler so symbols.json is
grep-friendly:
  ?EnchantAttribute@CEnchantmentRegistry@@QBEHKAAK@Z
  -> CEnchantmentRegistry::EnchantAttribute

Both demangled `name` + raw `mangled` emitted per entry so callers
can choose. Operator overloads, vtables, and other special forms
where a partial demangle would be misleading are kept mangled.

Outputs committed to docs/research/named-retail/:
  - symbols.json (2.9 MB) — 18,366 named public function symbols
  - types.json (506 KB) — 5,371 unique named class/struct records

Spot check (matches discovery agent's earlier finding):
  CEnchantmentRegistry::EnchantAttribute -> 0x00594570 ✓

Updated docs/research/acclient_function_map.md header preamble to
direct readers at the new symbols.json as the authoritative name
source; the hand-curated table stays as the cross-port (ACE/ACME)
index. Several addresses there are wrong vs the PDB and will be
swept in the issue #9 close (Phase E).

Closes #8 (filed in Phase D's commit). Foundation for the address
sweep + name-driven workflows from here on.

a9a01d8ba2 docs(research): commit named retail decomp + spells.csv (foundation)
Move the high-value retail RE artifacts from refs/ (per-developer
download cache, gitignored) into committed paths so subagents +
post-compaction sessions inherit them without round-tripping:

  - docs/research/named-retail/acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt (62 MB,
    Binary Ninja named pseudo-C, 99.6% function-name recovery —
    18,366 named functions out of 18,598 public symbols)
  - docs/research/named-retail/acclient.h (1.7 MB / 70,719 lines,
    IDA-decompiled retail struct definitions verbatim — Attribute,
    SecondaryAttribute, AttributeCache, Attribute2ndTable, SkillFormula,
    Enchantment, CEnchantmentRegistry with _mult_list/_add_list/_vitae,
    CSpellBook, MotionState, RawMotionState, MoveToStatePack, CACQualities,
    CPhysicsObj — every retail object-model layout we'd otherwise have
    to guess at)
  - docs/research/named-retail/acclient.c (46 MB, secondary named
    decomp — IDA full-binary export with mixed FUN_/named functions
    plus named struct fields the chunked Ghidra output lacks)
  - docs/research/data/spells.csv (3,956 spells × 35 cols including
    Family for buff stacking — issue #6 unblocked)

actestclient-master vendored at references/actestclient/ (extracted
from refs/actestclient-master-2019-01-10.zip; contains the canonical
machine-readable wire-schema messages.xml). Covered by existing
references/ gitignore — per-developer reference, not committed.

Repo precedent for committing decompiled retail content was set at
commit 4d36756 (18 MB Ghidra chunks). This adds ~110 MB more of the
same qualitative content. Ripgrep handles it in <1s.

Foundation for the named-retail workflow change in CLAUDE.md (next
commit). Plan at C:/Users/erikn/.claude/plans/ticklish-conjuring-cake.md
Phase A.
