The ACDREAM_PROBE_UI_HOVER probe dies with its closed investigation
(scrollbar hover, fixed 2d6333f8) per the launch-options rule; #441
stays filed with its probe recipe for the next occurrence.

CT7 gate regression (owner report): all MossTank plugin text vanished
except button captions. A markup <label> authors position only, so
UiLabel's box was degenerate (0x0) and CT-GF1's completed self-clip
(UIRegion::DrawHere @0x0069FA30 shape) cropped its glyphs to nothing;
markup buttons author w/h, which is why their captions survived.
UiLabel now opts out of the self-clip — it is ClickThrough pure text
whose real containment is its ancestors (the plugin panel/window, which
are properly sized), the effective retail behavior for a text region
whose box hugs its glyphs — and keeps a truthful box by measuring its
current text each draw. Mechanism pin: an unsized label's subtree must
render inside its sized parent (probe-child draw-capture test).
Gate note recorded by the owner in the same round: the Titles-page
divider IS visible inside the window in retail while scrolling — a
retail quirk our clipped rendering now reproduces exactly. CT7 gate
PASSED apart from this regression.

025108a8's own git-add -p staging for src/AcDream.App/UI/UiRoot.cs was
correct (only the ClipsChildren override + WantsMouse hunks staged,
verified via git diff --cached before committing), but the trailing
`git commit -m ... -- <pathspec>` listed UiRoot.cs by path — and a
pathspec-scoped `git commit` re-reads THOSE paths from the WORKING
TREE rather than honoring the index, silently pulling in the
pre-existing uncommitted ACDREAM_PROBE_UI_HOVER hunk alongside the
two intended ones.
This commit removes exactly that 17-line probe hunk from HEAD via a
direct index/blob edit (git hash-object + update-index), touching
ONLY the git object database — the working tree file is untouched
and still carries the probe as an uncommitted change, exactly as it
was before the CT-GF1 fix round started. Diffed the corrected blob
against HEAD to confirm the removal is byte-for-byte just the probe
block, nothing else.

Applies all 11 items from the Opus dual-lens review of 989f6652 (0
blockers, 7 SHOULD-FIX, 4 NOTE):
- S2: UiElement.DrawSelfAndChildren now pushes the ambient clip right
after PushAlpha and wraps OnDraw + the children walk +
OnDrawAfterChildren in ONE block — the literal UIRegion::DrawHere
@0x0069FA30 shape, which clips an element's OWN DrawSelf too, not
just its children (UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x00467AA0 locks glyph
blits to its own clipped surface rect; UIRegion::DrawSelf
@0x0069F1A0 blits per clip rect). Deleted the two now-redundant
ad-hoc self-clips this supersedes: UiText.DrawText and
UiField.DrawMultiLine both pushed their own (0,0,Width,Height) —
exactly what the new ambient clip already provides one level up.
Kept UiButton.DrawBlockLabel's clip: it clips to LabelBox/ValueBox,
an authored INNER sub-rect that can be smaller than and offset from
the button's own full rect — a genuine narrower viewport, not a
redundant duplicate.
- S3: deleted UiItemList's `ClipsChildren => CellWidth > 0f` override
— correct under the old opt-in-false default, inverted under the
new default-true (an unconfigured list would stop clipping instead
of clipping like everything else).
- S4: pinned the escaped-popup input path end to end. New
UiAncestorClipTests test mounts a menu inside a short window on a
real UiRoot, opens it, and proves a click in the escaped popup
region reaches the menu through UiRoot.PopupHit (a plain top-down
walk is proven to reject the same point first). UiRoot.WantsMouse
now also checks PopupHit — it previously only checked Captured/
HitTestTopDown, so a game action could fire underneath an open
dropdown's escaped region. OnMouseDown/OnScroll already routed
through PopupHit first (#374); unchanged.
- S5: strengthened the Titles-divider regression test's positive
half. The old assertion only checked SOME quad's Y fell in a band —
vacuously true given other same-band content. Now asserts the
divider's exact rect (X and Y), then diffs against the same rect
with the divider hidden (Visible=false) to prove the quad was
actually attributable to it.
- S1: added UiWindowDrawCaptureSweepTests — Character/Chat/Vendor/
Options mounted through their real production Bind entry points
with a non-zero sprite resolver, drawn via RecordingGpuDevice,
asserting a per-window vertex floor (~40-45% of this session's
observed baseline: Character 588, Chat 162, Vendor 54, Options 240)
plus one key sprite id read LIVE off the bound controller/element
(never hardcoded). Character's key sprite (RetailChromeSprites.
TopEdge) specifically exercises OnDrawAfterChildren, the exact path
S2's caution note flagged. Inventory/Paperdoll/social/map-house
skipped — no single fixture-driven top-level Bind entry point.
- S6: added the CT-GF1 subsection to the campaign plan's ledger
(989f6652 + this fix round; CT7 re-gate still owed).
- S7: UiRenderContext.PushClipUnbounded now resets to the CANVAS rect
(0,0,ScreenSize), not null — retail's own popup region is
SCREEN-clipped (UIElement_Menu::MakePopup spawns a top-level region
bounded by the screen), not truly unbounded. AD-113 amended.
- N1: UiRoot overrides ClipsChildren => false — the root's own region
IS the screen (the viewport already scissors it), so this is a
safety net against a momentarily zero-sized root silently blanking
the whole UI tree under the new ancestor-clip default.
- N2: added the empty-clip subtree cull (retail's var_24 gate
@0x0069FB8E) to DrawSelfAndChildren only — DrawOverlays is a wholly
separate traversal untouched by this change. New test proves a menu
inside a fully-clipped (zero-width) window still draws its open
popup via the overlay pass while the main pass draws nothing.
- N3: CT7 script §5 now names the collapsed-toolbar check and the
four highest-overflow windows (combat/vitals bar, Options
bottom-button row, map/house page, floaty chat) as explicit
eyeball items for the re-gate.
- N4: verification below covers both the working tree and the clean
committed tree.
Decomp anchors: UIRegion::DrawHere @0x0069FA30 (var_24 gate
@0x0069FB8E); UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x00467AA0 (self-clip);
UIRegion::DrawSelf @0x0069F1A0; UIElement_Menu::MakePopup (screen-
clipped popup region).
Verification (both runs green, --filter "Lane!=InstalledDat&
Lane!=PreparedPackage&Lane!=Live&Lane!=Manual&Lane!=Timing&
Lane!=Windows&Lane!=Linux&Lane!=SystemFont&Purpose!=Diagnostic&
Status!=KnownFailure"): full Release solution build green; working
tree 14,900+ tests across every project (one LandblockPresentation
PipelineTests flake reproduced ONLY under full-solution parallel
load, passes standalone and on rerun — unrelated to this change,
streaming domain); InstalledDat lane green (ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT
_TESTS=1, Status!=KnownFailure, 205+34+3+172 App/Content/Bake/Core
tests). Clean committed tree (git stash push -u the uncommitted
owner probe + docs files, rerun, stash pop) reported in the session
summary.
src/AcDream.App/UI/UiRoot.cs carries an unrelated, pre-existing
uncommitted owner probe (ACDREAM_PROBE_UI_HOVER) — staged selectively
(git add -p) so only this commit's own two hunks (ClipsChildren
override, WantsMouse) landed; the probe hunk is untouched and stays
uncommitted, same as before this fix round.

Fixes the CT7 gate finding: on the Titles tab, the authored divider
0x10000530 escapes the Character window above its top edge at the
CT6-correct 372px mounted default (computed Y ~ -178, matching the
owner's screenshot). Retail clips child rendering to the intersected
ancestor clip-rect chain -- UIRegion::DrawHere @0x0069FA30 takes the
element's screen Box2D plus a SmartArray<Box2D> of inherited clip
rects, intersects them (the min/max clamp loop @0x0069FAA7..0x0069FB82),
and draws EraseSelf/DrawChildren/DrawSelf with the intersected rect
only when non-empty (the var_24 gate @0x0069FB8E). Our UiElement draw
walk rendered children unclipped by default, so any authored element
relying on clipping -- this divider, and the chat input row at small
window sizes (the owner's earlier "text input sticks out on resize"
report) -- became a visible artifact.
Mechanism (element-level, reusing the existing clip-rect-stack
infrastructure in UiRenderContext.PushClip/PopClip):
- UiElement.ClipsChildren now defaults to TRUE for every element
(was an opt-in used only by UiScrollablePanel/UiItemList). Each
element's children draw AND hit-test clipped to the intersection
of its own rect with the inherited ancestor clip; an element
positioned outside its parent's box silently disappears, matching
retail's non-empty-intersection gate. HitTest's existing early
bounds check already implemented this shape for ClipsChildren=true
elements -- flipping the default aligns hit-testing with the new
draw-clip default in one property, per the plan's own point 4.
- UiElement.ExpandsClipForPopup (default false) is the one opt-out:
retail spawns a menu popup as a SEPARATE top-level region
(UIElement_Menu::MakePopup), clipped only by the screen; acdream
draws UiMenu's popup inline from the owning button in a second
traversal (OnDrawOverlay, pre-existing -- its own doc comment
already says "regardless of this element's position in the tree").
DrawOverlays now resets the accumulated clip to unbounded
(UiRenderContext.PushClipUnbounded, sharing the existing clip
stack) for exactly the OnDrawOverlay call of an opted-in element.
UiMenu overrides ExpandsClipForPopup=>true, paired with
ClipsChildren=>false so its own out-of-bounds OnHitTest union (the
popup occupies ly<0 or ly>=Height depending on open direction)
stays reachable through the same early-bounds gate that now
defaults on for every other element.
Opt-out audit (grep for OnDrawOverlay overrides + negative/overflow
OnDraw coordinates across src/AcDream.App/UI): UiMenu's popup is the
ONLY OnDrawOverlay override client-wide, so it is the only element
needing ExpandsClipForPopup. RetailTooltipPresenter's popup and
UiRoot's drag ghost both already escape structurally -- the tooltip
mounts as an ordinary UiRoot CHILD (sibling of every window, clipped
only by the canvas), and the drag ghost is drawn directly by UiRoot
outside the tree entirely -- neither needed a code change, both are
covered by new tests proving the invariant. UiResizeGrip and
UiNineSlicePanel's frame/bevel draw entirely within their own
[0,Width]x[0,Height] (grip flush at the window's own edges; the
window's own Width/Height already represents the OUTER frame
including its 5px bevel, so its ClipsChildren push already covers
the frame's own content children correctly -- no negative insets
found). UiScrollbar draws entirely within its own bounds (confirmed
by reading OnDraw).
Hit-testing: aligned with the new default via the single
ClipsChildren flip (see above); UiMenu's own opt-out override keeps
its popup hit-test union working, verified by the full UiMenuTests
suite staying green.
Divergence register: AD-113 filed for the ExpandsClipForPopup
adaptation (inline popup drawing vs retail's separate top-level
region).
Fixed two pre-existing test-harness gaps the new default surfaced
(both real bugs in the harnesses, not workarounds around the fix):
- ChatLayoutConformanceTests' bottom-right-grip grow test read a
STALE (pre-shrink) grip screen position because it drove two resize
gestures back-to-back with no intervening Draw pass -- the only
place UiElement.ApplyAnchor/LayoutPolicy.Apply run. A real frame
draws every tick, so production never hits this; the test now
inserts a real DrawSelfAndChildren pass between the two gestures,
matching a real frame boundary.
- VendorUiControllerTests' hand-built Items/Buying/Selling page
containers were left at their bare 0x0 UiElement default (the
harness never runs a real DAT-driven layout pass) -- harmless
before ancestor clipping existed, but now hides every child of an
unsized page. Sized them to the window's own content root, matching
production's shape (a tab page fills the window body).
Tests (all confirmed as genuine regression pins by temporarily
reverting the relevant default/override and observing the exact
predicted failure, then reverting back):
- CharacterTitlesControllerTests.TitlesPage_Divider_ClipsAwayAtThe
CT6Default_AndAppearsWhenTheWindowGrowsTaller: the literal gate
repro against the real character_2100002E.json fixture through
RetailWindowFrame.Mount at the CT6 372px default -- the divider
renders nothing (computed Y ~ -173, matching the owner's ~-178);
growing the window to 600px renders it at its authored spot.
- ChatLayoutConformanceTests.ResizingTheWindowSmall_NoInputRowQuad
RendersOutsideTheWindowRect: no input-row quad escapes the chat
window rect at three small sizes (300x100 sanity control,
120x40/80x30 genuine pre-fix overflow -- verified failing without
the fix at Y=38/55 past the window edge).
- UiAncestorClipTests (new file): the core mechanism against plain
synthetic elements (culled-outside / clipped-at-the-edge / hit-test
parity), UiMenu's popup escaping a tiny owning window (and staying
clipped while closed), and the tooltip's structural immunity
(mounts as a UiRoot sibling, unaffected by a tiny ancestor window).
Verification: full solution build green; hermetic suite green
(--filter "Lane!=InstalledDat&Lane!=PreparedPackage&Lane!=Live&
Lane!=Manual&Lane!=Timing&Lane!=Windows&Lane!=Linux&
Lane!=SystemFont&Purpose!=Diagnostic&Status!=KnownFailure",
14,000+ tests across every project); InstalledDat lane green
(ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1, Status!=KnownFailure,
205+34+3+172 tests). CharacterTitlesControllerTests' existing suite
and the full UiMenuTests/UiScrollbarTests suites are unaffected.
src/AcDream.App/UI/UiRoot.cs carries an unrelated, pre-existing
uncommitted owner probe (ACDREAM_PROBE_UI_HOVER) -- untouched by
this change and deliberately left out of this commit.

Opus dual-lens review of CT6 (ec50455a) found 1 blocker, 4 should-fix, 5
notes. All applied:
BLOCKER B1 — the shared gmPanelUI host (0x100005FE) IS retail's own
outer window frame, not a content element: its authored 310/372/310/1000
already include the 5px bevel on every side. RetailWindowFrame.Mount was
adding the NineSlice wrapper's OWN 10px chrome inset on top of that
already-chrome-inclusive source, clamping MinWidth to 320 while the
window's actual mounted outer width stayed 310 — silently below its own
minimum until RetailWindowManager.ResizeTo forcibly widened it despite
ResizeX=false. Fixed with a new
RetailWindowFrame.Options.DatConstraintSourceIsOuterFrame opt-out
(chrome inset = 0 for constraint resolution only, value stays
DAT-sourced); MountCharacter sets it true. Mounted clamp is now exactly
the host's four raw values: width fixed 310, height 372..1000. Added a
mount-time invariant (throws if the mounted outer extent falls outside
its own just-computed clamp) that would have caught this at the first
test run.
S4 (campaign-lead ruling) — the window must MOUNT at retail's authored
default, outer 372 (content 362, matching the host's own content parent
0x10000180), not 0x2100002E's own 300x600 content-authoring canvas
(which produced a stale 610px default pre-fix: 600 + 10 chrome inset).
372 is exactly the host's own authored MinHeight — retail opens at its
resize floor and can only be dragged taller. MountCharacter now sets
ContentHeight=362f explicitly. At this default the 9 attribute/vital
rows (180px) overflow the 160px list immediately — retail-correct, not
a regression.
S2 — 0x1000023E and 0x10000533 both author property 0x79
(HideWhenDisabled) TRUE (fixture-verified: BoolValue=true on both). A
fitting list HIDES the scrollbar entirely; it does not draw a full-track
"disabled" thumb. The code was already correct; four wrong descriptions
(plan ledger, CharacterStatController comment, CT7 script, test comment)
are corrected, plus a new IsPresentationVisible assertion pair in the
resize test.
S3 — CharacterTitlesController's `if (listBox.LayoutPolicy is null)`
Anchors fallback was unreachable on both the real DAT and the fixture
(0x10000532/0x10000539 both author HasOriginalParentSize=true, so
LayoutPolicy is always assigned). Deleted; added an InstalledDatFact pin
guarding the deletion against DAT drift.
N4 — renamed NineSlice_ChatShapedConstraints_... to
NineSlice_ContentShapedConstraints_InsetArithmeticClampsProgrammaticResize
(it tested inset arithmetic on a content-shaped source, not chat's real
contract) and added a true chat-contract pin mounting Chrome=Imported
with chat's real 300/100/2000/2000 constraints, asserting no inset
applies.
N5 — corrected the "nothing inferred, no register row" sentences in the
ground-truth doc and plan ledger: they were false pre-fix (the mounted
clamp WAS an inferred double-counted composition); true now that B1
removes the composition.
CT7 script §4 rewritten with exact clamps (no "≈"), the corrected
default-overflow scrollbar behavior, and an absolute starting-height
statement.
Verified: full hermetic solution suite green (15,441 tests, Release,
Lane exclusions per the release gate), InstalledDat lane green across
the whole solution (414 tests, ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1,
Status!=KnownFailure) including two new pins
(TitlesListAndPage_AuthorHasOriginalParentSize,
Imported_ChatContract_ClampsAtAuthoredBoundsWithNoChromeInset).

CT6 (Campaign CT slice 6): the resize clamp source is the SHARED
gmPanelUI host (0x100005FE in LayoutDesc 0x2100006E), not 0x2100002E's
own root and not the Character/Skills slot 0x1000018E either — live
probe confirmed the host authors MinWidth=MaxWidth=310 (fixed — no
horizontal Resizebar authored), MinHeight=372, MaxHeight=1000, and that
the bottom Resizebar (0x10000660) and top Dragbar (0x1000065C) are
direct children of the host, not the content parent. Decomp chain:
UIElement_Resizebar::StartMouseResizing @0x0046B7E0 calls
UIElement::StartResizing(this->GetParent(), ...), stashing drag state on
that parent; UIElement::MouseResizeElement @0x00461130 then reads
GetAttribute_Int(this, 0x3C..0x3F) off that same element every
mouse-move.
RetailUiRuntime.MountCharacter now imports the host element and passes
it as RetailWindowFrame.Options.DatConstraintSource, matching the
existing MountSideVitals pattern.
CharacterStatController.RebuildActiveList now wraps BOTH the Attributes
and Skills tabs' rows in the same UiScrollablePanel viewport (previously
only Skills got one; Attributes rows had no clipping/scrolling and the
shared scrollbar was force-hidden — owner report item 2). The shared
scrollbar is now always bound + visible; UiScrollbar's own
IsPresentationVisible/IsModelDisabled already draw the correct
full-track "disabled" thumb when content fits. This surfaced and fixed
a real #372/#412-class anchor-baseline bug: the viewport's
Left|Top|Bottom anchor was capturing its baseline margins lazily on its
own first ApplyAnchor call, which happens AFTER the ListBox has already
grown from its raw DAT height to its mounted height, permanently
capping the viewport short on every later resize. Fixed with an eager
CaptureCurrentAnchorBaseline() call, mirroring UiTemplateListBox
.Viewport's own lazy getter.
CharacterTitlesController.Bind gained the same defensive
Anchors = Left|Top|Bottom fallback for the Titles ListBox that
CharacterStatController already had (a no-op on the real DAT — both the
Titles page and its ListBox already carry a real authored LayoutPolicy
that stretches correctly).
Standardization audit: UiElement.MinWidth/MinHeight/MaxWidth/MaxHeight,
set once at RetailWindowFrame.Mount, are the ONLY clamp fields — read
identically by interactive drag, RetailWindowManager.ResizeTo, and
RetailWindowLayoutPersistence's restore clamp. No gaps found; no
register row (every number is a live-probed authored DAT value or a
structural correctness fix, nothing inferred).
Tests: CharacterStatControllerTests
.CharacterWindow_ResizesYWithinAuthoredHostClamp_AndReflowsListAndScrollbar,
CharacterTitlesControllerTests
.TitlesList_ReflowsWithWindowResize_AndScrollbarOverflowFlips,
RetailWindowFrameTests
.NineSlice_ChatShapedConstraints_ClampProgrammaticResizeAtAuthoredBounds
(shared-mechanism regression pin), CharacterPanelLiveDatTests
.PanelHost_AuthorsFixedWidthAndBottomOnlyResizeContract (InstalledDat
pin). Existing attribute-row tests updated from list.Children to
Descendants(list) for the new nested-viewport shape (the pattern skill
rows already needed).

Opus review of CT5 (f532f28c) found 0 blockers, 4 SHOULD-FIX, 6 NOTEs; all
applied here.
SHOULD-FIX 1 (visible retail gap): unselected attribute/skill rows now draw
the row template's Normal-state media (0x06004CC2 — pinned by
CharacterPanelLiveDatTests.AttributeRowTemplate_...) instead of drawing
nothing. Independently decoded against the installed DAT: PFID_A8R8G8B8,
48x48, uniform (0,0,0,175) — a ~69%-opaque black tile the native-size
copy-or-tile blit repeats across the row. Wired at all three sites
(HandleRowClick, ApplySkillSelectionVisuals, AddRow). Selected rows keep
0x06000F93 (RowHighlightSprite) unchanged.
SHOULD-FIX 2: added Bind_AttributeRow_/Bind_VitalRow_/Bind_SkillRow_
geometry tests asserting the authored template pixels against BUILT rows
(not DAT pins) — width, height, icon/name/value column positions. The
skill-row case reproduces the real production scrollbar (X=281, per
CharacterPanelLiveDatTests.StatListBox_AuthorsFiveRowTemplatesInSharedLayout)
to prove the documented 281px clamp (scrollbar.Left - list.Left), one pixel
short of the attribute/vital rows' 282px ceiling.
SHOULD-FIX 3: AddRow's name-column Padding corrected from 1f to 0f — the
authored template carries no margin on 0x1000012A; Padding=1f re-created
the X=26 glyph-start bug this slice existed to fix.
SHOULD-FIX 4: reworded both UiPanel.BackgroundSprite doc comments — the
draw is a native-size copy-or-tile blit (UV-repeat), never a stretch.
Decoded 0x06000F93 as exactly 282x20 (matches the row natively, draws as a
plain copy) vs 0x06004CC2's 48x48 tile. Retail's UIRegion::SetImageByDID
(@0x0069F960) decompiles to a pure BlitMode selector switch — param_2==2 ->
Blit_3Alpha, ==3 -> Blit_4Alpha, else Blit_Normal — with no width/height
touched anywhere in the function, answering CT1's open "draw mode 3"
question: it's an alpha-blend selector, not a resize flag.
NOTEs:
a. AddRow's nameEl now sets OneLine=true so the authored VJustify=Center
takes the same single-line vertical-centering path the value column
already uses.
b. Tempered the "row width is 282" wording in the SkillContentWidth /
RowContentWidth doc comments — that's a ceiling attribute/vital rows
land on, not a fact true for skill rows (281, via SkillViewportWidth's
scrollbar-gutter measurement).
c. Reworded the section-header (RowPadX) comment — CT1 verified only the
four header SPRITES; the caption label's own authored margins were
never checked. Recorded as an open residual, not a cleared divergence.
d. AttrRows/VitalRows are now internal (InternalsVisibleTo("AcDream.App.Tests")
already covers AcDream.App.Tests); CharacterPanelLiveDatTests iterates
them directly instead of a re-typed duplicate array, and now also
asserts the vitals 2/4/6 current-enum aliasing claim the doc comment
made but never enforced.
e. Deleted the stale pre-CT5 0x06001397 narrative in
CharacterPanelLiveDatTests; the pin's comment now describes the
post-CT5 state (a regression guard, not an open bug).
f. Unified ApplySkillSelectionVisuals' selected-branch SpriteResolve
wrapper closure with HandleRowClick's direct assignment.
Build green; full hermetic solution suite green (Release,
Lane!=InstalledDat&...&Status!=KnownFailure filter); InstalledDat lane
green (ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1, Lane=InstalledDat&Status!=KnownFailure).

Aligns the hand-built attribute/skill rows in CharacterStatController with
the authored shared row template 0x10000248 (LayoutDesc 0x21000045,
InfoRegion::InfoRegion @0x004F1450 template index 0 — the same template
gmAttributeUI and gmSkillUI both instantiate):
- Row geometry replaced with AUTHORED PIXEL VALUES instead of derived
fractions: icon flush left 20x20 (was 16x16 at X=4, vertically
centered), name column X=25 W=150 fixed (was RowPadX+IconSize+IconGap
offset with a width*0.60 fraction), value column X=175 W=100
right-justified (its right edge sits 7px short of the row's 282px
right edge — the authored gutter the owner reported). Row width itself
now clamps to the authored 282px template width (RowContentWidth)
rather than the ListBox's raw 300px container width. Attribute-row
height fixed at 20px (was 22px, no dat basis); SkillRowHeight folded
into the same RowHeight constant since both row kinds share H=20.
- RowHighlightSprite corrected from 0x06001397 to 0x06000F93 — CT1's
ground-truth research sealed the verdict that gmAttributeUI::
UpdateSelection @0x0049DEE0 (SetState(6) -> InfoRegion::SetState
@0x004F0EE0) swaps the row's Highlight-state media (0x06000F93), a
full-row background swap. 0x06001397 belongs to a different mechanism
entirely (the spellbook row's UIElement_UIItem::SetSelectedState
overlay child) and SpellbookRowStyle.cs is untouched.
- UiClickablePanel.UseSelectionBars/SelectionBarHeight retired outright
(UiPanel.cs): they existed only to emulate 0x06001397's dark-bars art;
the correct retail rendering is the full-panel sprite stretch the base
UiPanel.OnDraw already performs, so the override is dead code once the
correct sprite is used. No consumer existed outside
CharacterStatController.
- Per-attribute/per-vital icon DIDs now resolve through the live
DBObj::GetDIDByEnum chain (RetailDataIdResolver.Resolve, AP-235's
unification seam) when a resolver is supplied — RetailUiRuntime.
MountCharacter wires one under the shared DatLock — falling back to
the hardcoded AttrRows/VitalRows column otherwise (tests, no dat).
gmAttributeUI::PostInit @0x0049DB70 read verbatim: attributes resolve
via category 0x10000002 (statId order 1,2,4,3,5,6, matching AttrRows'
authored display order exactly); vitals via category 0x10000003.
Live-DAT-verified: every hardcoded fallback value already matched the
resolved DID byte-exact (new InstalledDat pin
AttributeAndVitalIconDids_MatchTheRetailEnumMapperChain).
- RetailAppraisalNameResolver.ResolveHeritage's independent
re-implementation of the 2/5/13 heritage overrides deleted; it now
delegates straight to CharacterIdentityText.HeritageGroupDisplayName
(which already bakes in the same overrides) — one owner, byte-identical
behavior. AP-235's register row updated to reflect the single-owner fix
(the underlying hardcoded-vs-live-DAT mechanism divergence itself
stays open — out of CT5's scope).
Hand-built-vs-template ruling: rows stay HAND-BUILT rather than
converting to UiTemplateListBox instantiation. The hand-built path hits
every authored number byte-exact (proven by the CT1 InstalledDat pin
AttributeRowTemplate_IconIsFlushLeftTwentyPixels_NameAndValueAreFixedColumns),
while conversion would touch ~15 call sites (raise-button affordability,
footer State A/B, per-row tooltip, section bucketing, live-refresh,
selection-highlight) for a geometry-only slice — smaller-risk path per
the task's own judgment-call guidance.
Tests: CharacterStatControllerTests' sprite/UseSelectionBars assertions
corrected to the authored geometry; new InstalledDat pin for the icon-DID
chain. Full hermetic solution suite green (App/Core/Runtime/Headless/
Launcher/Content/etc., 0 failures) and the full InstalledDat lane green
(203 App.Tests pins, TowerAscentReplayTests' known Status=KnownFailure
case excluded per the acceptance filter).

- Bind the luminance pair (0x100005C5/0x100005C6): caption "Luminance:"
(UTF-16, PE-byte-decoded from the gmStatManagementUI vftable-adjacent
data at @0x007c3dd4) and value "<available> / <maximum>" (narrow
"%s / %s" @0x007c3dcc) — both literals independently re-derived from the
raw acclient.exe bytes and confirmed byte-exact against the review's
claim. Numbers format through a new shared FormatXp helper
(.ToString("N0", InvariantCulture) — retail's ExperienceSystem::XPToString
equivalent), also now used by Total XP / XP-to-next-level (previously an
un-invariant bare "N0"). Hide path switched from Visible=false to
retail's own UIElement_Text::ClearAllText mechanism
(@0x004f0e31/@0x004f0e3c — empty LinesProvider, leave layout); each
LinesProvider re-reads data() on every draw, so no separate refresh call
is needed.
- CharacterIdentityText.StripLeadingArticle deleted: retail AppendText's
the resolved title VERBATIM (@0x004f0990); 26 real ACE CharacterTitle
entries begin with "The" and were being mangled. The dead
CharacterSheet.Race fallback is deleted alongside it — retail's
InqGenderHeritageDisplay creature-type argument is a hardcoded literal 0
(@0x004f08db), no producer exists.
SHOULD-FIX:
- PK line re-sourced: classifies off the live ClientObject.PublicWeenieBitfield
PWD bits (0x20 IsPK / 0x02000000 IsPKLite — ACCWeenieObject::IsPK/IsPKLite
@0x0058c8b0/@0x0058c8a0) instead of a bitwise test against raw
PropertyInt 134, which carries ACE's own PlayerKillerStatus enum bit
layout, not the PWD layout. PropertyInt 134 already drives the correct
bits via the existing PlayerKillerStatusBitfield.Apply; this is a
re-source, not new wiring. Deleted the 0x4|0x8 combined-flag test case,
which asserted a non-retail answer.
- Register AP-109 row: restores CT3's Titles-page narrowing paragraph
(CT4's edit had compressed it to a bare pointer phrase), corrects the
rank-prefix source to PropertyInt 0x1E (AllegianceRank) read live off
the qualities bundle — not RuntimeAllegianceState, which is a different
UI's (SocialAllegiancePageController) own documented substitute —
corrects the title-table size from an estimated 22 functions/~200
strings to the actual 17 functions/~170 strings (AllegianceSystem::GetTitle's
dispatch switch read directly), and downgrades the evidence claim.
Filed AP-235 for the gender/heritage hardcoded-table-vs-live-EnumMapper
mechanism divergence, pointing at the ALREADY-EXISTING
RetailDataIdResolver.Resolve helper as CT5's unification seam.
- CharacterPanelLiveDatTests.HeaderElements_AuthorExpectedFontsAndColors
extended with the luminance pair's own occurrence-count + font/color
pins, matching every other header id's pattern.
Also landed: an InstalledDat pin
(GenderHeritageDisplayNameTables_MatchTheRetailEnumMapperChain) proving
CharacterIdentityText.GenderDisplayName/HeritageGroupDisplayName match the
live retail EnumMapper chain (master map category 1 ->
ClientEnumToID[0x10000001]/[0x10000002] -> EnumMapper DIDs
0x2200000A/0x2200000B) byte-exact, including the two entries the review
flagged as unverified guesses (10 "Penumbraen", 12 "Olthoi" — both
correct). CharacterSheetProvider.BuildSheet's level read switched from a
GetInt+ContainsKey double lookup to one TryGetValue. Plan ledger's
test-provenance sentence corrected (Bind_HeaderElements_... predates CT4,
extended to cover PkStatusId).
Tests: CharacterStatControllerTests (verbatim title incl. "The Noob",
luminance content/gate, luminance text binding, extended
Bind_HeaderElements_... covering PkStatusId), CharacterSheetProviderTests
(PK status driven through ClientObjectTable.UpdateIntProperty instead of
a raw property write), CharacterPanelLiveDatTests (luminance pin, gender/
heritage EnumMapper pin). Full hermetic solution suite green under Release
(0 failures, 15 projects); InstalledDat pins green (197/197, excluding one
confirmed pre-existing unrelated failure — TowerAscentReplayTests, verified
to fail identically with these changes stashed out).

Retires the rest of AP-109's UI half: the character panel's Name/Heritage/
PkStatus/Level header identity block is now live and DAT-faithful on both
Attributes and Skills pages (verified: CharacterStatController.Bind already
scopes Label/LabelAuthoredColor to the ONE physically-visible page container,
so both tabs share the same bound widgets).
- Name/Heritage/PkStatus/Level switch from hand-picked Body/Gold runtime
colors to the widget's own authored DefaultColor (LabelAuthoredColor) —
CT1's live-DAT pin (HeaderElements_AuthorExpectedFontsAndColors) confirmed
all four already carry the correct FontColor (white/white/white/pale-gold
with Outline); the former "runtime color, dat carries none" comment was
false.
- PkStatus resolves through StringTable 0x23000001 by key
(ID_StatManagement_Header_PKStatus_PK/_PKL/_NPK) with a bitwise
IsPK/IsPKLite test (gmStatManagementUI::UpdatePKStatus @0x004F00A0) instead
of the prior exact-equality switch, which silently dropped combined-flag
PlayerKillerStatus values. Live-DAT-verified strings: "Player Killer" /
"Player Killer Lite" / "Non-Player Killer" (new InstalledDat pin
PkStatusKeys_ResolveExpectedAuthoredStrings).
- Level shows "%d"-formatted InqInt(0x19) or the PE-recovered literal "???"
when absent (CharacterSheet.Level is now int?).
- Heritage line appends CT2/CT3's resolved RuntimeCharacterTitleState
display title through CharacterTitleResolver, refreshing live on both
TableReplaced (0x0029) and DisplayTitleChanged (0x002B) —
CharacterSheetProvider's ChangeBinding now subscribes to both.
- Name-line ruling: ships the PLAIN-NAME case only. Retail's allegiance
rank-title prefix (AllegianceData::GetFullName @0x005B6950 ->
AllegianceSystem::GetTitle @0x005B8DD0) needs a ~200-string, 22-function
heritage x gender table (verbatim decomp literals, e.g.
GetAluvianMaleTitle @0x005B7BC0's Yeoman/Baronet/.../High King) judged out
of reasonable size for this slice. RuntimeAllegianceState already carries
the local player's own rank; only the string table is missing. Registered,
not silently omitted.
- Luminance pair (0x100005C5/0x100005C6): CharacterSheet.AvailableLuminance/
MaximumLuminance (PropertyInt64 6/7) already flow generically through both
the PlayerDescription snapshot and the live 0x02CF private-update parsers
(no wiring gap). The retail show/hide gate (Level >= 200 &&
MaximumLuminance != 0, UpdateExperience @0x004F0A70) is wired and toggles
Visible on both elements every sheet refresh; the exact caption/value text
could not be recovered this slice (retail's SetText source resolves
through a Binary-Ninja-mislabeled data pointer, not a StringTable key — a
DAT string-table sweep found no match), so content stays unbound rather
than guessed.
- AP-109 narrowed accordingly (register row amended in the same commit).
Tests: CharacterStatControllerTests (heritage composition + live title
update, name stays plain, level int/"???" with authored — not constant —
color across 3 cases, PK line shows resolved text in authored color across
3 statuses, luminance visibility across 5 level/luminance combinations) and
CharacterSheetProviderTests (PK key-by-status resolution including a
combined-flag case, no-resolver leaves PkStatus null, Level null-vs-present,
title resolution + live refresh on both title events + unsubscribe-on-
dispose, luminance Int64 read-through). Full hermetic solution suite green
under Release (0 failures across all 14 test projects); InstalledDat pins
green.

Opus dual-lens review of CT3 (03e073b7) found 1 BLOCKER + 2 SHOULD-FIX + notes.
BLOCKER: CharacterTitlesController never ported Refresh @0x0049abc0's own
SetSelectedItem(nullptr, 1) (@0x0049ac5a) — retail clears the current
title selection UNCONDITIONALLY on every Refresh() call, regardless of
whether the previously-selected id is still earned. OnTableReplaced
(0x0029) and OnDisplayTitleChanged (the display half of 0x002B) are
retail's two Refresh() call sites, so both now clear _selectedTitleId
before rebuilding/re-highlighting. OnTitleAdded (0x002B's add half) is a
DIFFERENT retail method — RecvNotice_AddCharacterTitle @0x0049a990 splices
one row without ever touching m_pSelectedItem — so it deliberately still
preserves selection. Net effect: after the user sets a display title and
ACE echoes 0x002B, the previously-highlighted row now goes dark and the
Set-as-Display button re-ghosts, matching retail; earning a new title
while a row is selected still leaves that selection alone.
SHOULD-FIX: ported AddTitleToList @0x0049A840's early-outs
(@0x0049a873/@0x0049a914) — an id of 0, or an id CharacterTitleResolver
fails to resolve, now produces NO row at all. The "Unknown" fallback
literal belongs only to the display-title text (Refresh @0x0049abc0's
other half), never a row — this was previously ported backwards.
SHOULD-FIX: rows and the display text now use their UiText's own authored
DefaultColor instead of a hardcoded Vector4.One, and each LinesProvider
now returns a cached UiText.Line[] built once per text change instead of
allocating a fresh array literal every draw call (pattern:
CharacterCreationSkillsPage.cs:829).
Notes (all ruled in): corrected two CharacterStatController comments that
falsely claimed the Titles page authors its own copies of the raise
buttons (verified against the fixture — it does not; the hide loop that
comment guarded is a defensive no-op given Visible's draw/click cascade,
kept only for the contentPage-not-found fallback); switched the row sort
from List.Sort to a stable OrderBy/ThenBy (ties broken by title id) so
equal-text rows keep retail's insert-after-equals order; wrapped the
title-resolver delegate in RetailUiRuntime.MountCharacter with the same
DatLock the row-template resolver already takes (DatCollection is
documented not thread-safe); set the list box's authored 24px row height
so wheel/line scroll lands row-aligned; kept the bind-time display-text
refresh with a comment explaining why the pre-notice "Unknown" frame is
unreachable in live play (ACE always sends 0x0029 before this panel can
open).
Tests: inverted TableReplaced_SelectedTitleStillEarned_KeepsSelectionHighlighted
into TableReplaced_ClearsSelection_EvenWhenTheSelectedIdIsStillEarned (cites
@0x0049ac5a), added its DisplayTitleChanged twin, and added
TitleAdded_PreservesSelection (the case most at risk from the blocker fix).
Inverted Rows_UnresolvedTitle_ShowsRetailUnknownLiteral into
Rows_UnresolvedTitle_ProducesNoRow (cites @0x0049a873/@0x0049a914) and added
Rows_TitleIdZero_ProducesNoRow for the other early-out. Extended
ClickingSetDisplay_..._AndMutatesNothingLocally to assert the row set and
selection are untouched by the click. Added
Fixture_PageCaptions_ResolveToNonEmptyText, which rebuilds the committed
character_2100002E.json fixture with a stub string resolver to pin this
class's own claim that the two page captions (0x1000052E/0x10000531) carry
a resolvable authored StringInfo.
Verified pre-existing/unrelated: the full hermetic suite run surfaced 2
failures in AcDream.App.Tests (LiveEntityNetworkBranchRoutingTests IL-shape
assertion, GameWindowRenderLeafCompositionTests IL-shape assertion) that
also fail with these five files stashed back to their pre-fix-round state —
confirmed unrelated to this change.
Build green. CharacterTitlesControllerTests: 24/24 (was 21, +3 net after
one invert-and-split and two new facts). Full hermetic solution suite
(Lane!=InstalledDat/PreparedPackage/Live/Manual/Timing/Windows/Linux/
SystemFont, Purpose!=Diagnostic, Status!=KnownFailure): only the two
pre-existing IL-shape failures above; every other project green.

Titles tab (AP-109's known-inert gap) now switches to a real page and
CharacterTitlesController binds it entirely through UiTemplateListBox/
UiScrollbar/UiButton — zero bespoke widgets, matching every other
social/options row-list page in this codebase.
Retail anchors: gmCharacterTitleUI::PostInit @0x0049A610; AddTitleToList
@0x0049A840 + FindSortedInsertPosition @0x0049A760 (rows sorted by
resolved display text — this port rebuilds the full sorted set on every
change rather than a positional splice, since UiTemplateListBox has no
insert-at-index primitive and no other consumer needs one either);
InfoRegion::SetState(selected?6:1) (row Highlight/DirectState swap, the
same mechanism CT1's SEALED VERDICT confirmed for the stat rows);
UpdateButtons @0x0049A500 CORRECTED direction (Ghosted unless a row is
selected whose id differs from the current display title — no selection
IS the Ghosted case); Refresh @0x0049abc0 (display-title text, including
the hardcoded "Unknown" fallback, refreshed on both TableReplaced and
DisplayTitleChanged per CT2's review anchor 1); Event_SetDisplayCharacterTitle
@0x006a5720 (wire-only TitleSet 0x002C send, no local mutation).
CharacterStatController.Bind now three-way switches Attributes/Skills/
Titles — Titles is a genuinely separate, non-duplicated page container
(CT1 ground truth §3), unlike Attributes/Skills which share one mounted
page and only rebind content.
The two page captions (0x1000052E/0x10000531) are left untouched:
LayoutImporter.BuildText already resolves every element's authored
StringInfo caption at import time, so no controller-side string lookup
was added.
New IGameRuntimeCommands.SetTitle seam on DeferredGameRuntimeStateCommands
(InteractionUiRuntimeSources.cs) mirrors the existing Advance() shape.
CharacterRuntimeBindings gains Titles/TitleResolver/SendSetTitle;
CharacterTitleResolver (CT2) is constructed once at composition time and
its .Resolve method group is passed to the controller as a delegate
(not the concrete DAT-backed type) so the controller stays hermetically
testable without a live IDatReaderWriter.
Tests (tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/CharacterTitlesControllerTests.cs):
binding-seam coverage against the REAL committed character_2100002E.json
fixture (verified this session to already carry the Titles page subtree,
including the ListBox's own authored TemplateList=[(0x2100005E,
0x10000536)] entry — RowTemplateResolver_ReceivesTheFixturesOwnAuthoredTemplateIds
proves the controller reads that authored pair, not a hardcoded one); a
hand-authored ElementInfo standing in only for the row template itself
(a separate LayoutDesc with no committed fixture yet — CT1 was a live-DAT
probe only); sorted-row order, Unknown fallback, row selection/highlight,
the ghost truth table (no selection / selected==display / selected!=
display), click-sends-exactly-one-SetTitle-and-mutates-nothing,
click-while-ghosted-sends-nothing, TableReplaced rebuild (including
selection survival when the id is still earned), TitleAdded single-row
growth, DisplayTitleChanged text+ghost refresh, and Dispose
unsubscription. CharacterStatControllerTests updated for the Titles tab
no longer being ClickThrough, plus a new tab-switch visibility test.
Register: amends AP-109 (docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md)
to record the Titles-page half as LIVE; the header identity block and
luminance fields remain open for CT4.
Suites: full solution 15,405 tests / 0 skips (App 6,130) green.

Opus dual-lens review of CT2 (bcfddc97) found 4 SHOULD-FIX + notes; this
applies the campaign lead's rulings.
F1 (the important one): retail's client-side table add is DEDUPED —
gmCharacterTitleUI::RecvNotice_AddCharacterTitle @0x0049a990 walks
mTitleList and returns without effect when the id is already present,
only inserting on a miss. The server-side SendNotice_AddCharacterTitle
broadcast is unconditional, but RuntimeCharacterTitleState.ApplyUpdateTitle
models the CLIENT receive side, so TitleAdded now fires only on a genuine
new membership. Inverted the pin:
ApplyUpdateTitle_AlreadyEarnedId_DoesNotFireTitleAddedOrBumpRevision.
F3: removed the send-side titleId==0 rejection from both command
adapters. Retail's own send path (Event_SetDisplayCharacterTitle
@0x006a5720) packs whatever id it is handed, and ACE accepts id 0
(CharacterTitle.Invalid is a defined enum value) — retail's real
protection is the UI ghost-when-current gate (CT3's job), not a
send-side rejection. No register row: this makes acdream MORE
retail-exact.
A2: ResetSession now publishes TableReplaced unconditionally and
DisplayTitleChanged when the display id was non-zero before the clear,
matching the LocalPlayerState.Clear() precedent (publish every category
even when Clear is repeated, so a failed reset can converge on retry).
A3: RuntimeCharacterState.CaptureOwnership reads the new non-allocating
Titles.Count instead of EarnedTitleIds.Count; EarnedTitleIds now carries
an XML warning that every read allocates.
A4/A5: ReplaceTable/ApplyUpdateTitle now mutate under one _gate hold with
change flags computed inside the lock and events raised after release;
every revision bump is gated on an actual state change (a no-op wire
resend produces zero revision edges), matching the change-gated
RuntimeMovementSkillState precedent. TableReplaced itself still fires
unconditionally per retail's own Refresh() dispatch on 0x0029.
A1/A6/A7/A8: CharacterTitleResolverLiveDatTests honors ACDREAM_DAT_DIR
first (CT1 fix-round pattern); documented the EmitResult
primaryObjectId-as-title-id precedent inline; corrected the "third
consumer" comment (CT1 §5 already records gmAttributeUI::PostInit's
icon-DID lookup — CT5 factors the shared GetDIDByEnum helper); added a
titleId -> resolved-string memo to CharacterTitleResolver, the DAT-static
equivalent of retail's lazy-hash cache on the string buffer.
Appended a "CT3 anchors from the CT2 review" list to the plan doc's CT2
ledger entry for CT3 to consume.
Build green. Runtime (102), Core.Net (12), and App (27 + 3 InstalledDat
pins under ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1) title-scoped tests pass.
Full hermetic solution suite (Lane exclusions per the release gate) is
green: 0 failures across all 15 test projects.

Campaign CT slice CT2: the client now learns the character's earned
titles and current display title from the server, owns that state in
Runtime, and can send a display-title change. No UI (CT3/CT4).
Wire (Core.Net):
- GameEvents.ParseCharacterTitleTable (0x0029 CharacterTitle): retail
CharacterTitleTable::UnPack @0x005c6e90 skips a leading u32 into no
field — its own Pack @0x005c6e40 always writes the literal 1 there,
matching ACE's unconditional Writer.Write(1u) — then reads
displayTitleId, then a count-prefixed PList<uint> of earned ids.
- GameEvents.ParseUpdateTitle (0x002B UpdateTitle): titleId +
setAsDisplay, per CM_Social::DispatchUI_AddOrSetCharacterTitle
@0x006a54c0 -> Handle_Social__AddOrSetCharacterTitle @0x00564260,
which ALWAYS adds (SendNotice_AddCharacterTitle, unconditional) and
additionally sets display only when setAsDisplay != 0
(SendNotice_SetDisplayCharacterTitle, gated).
- SocialActions.BuildTitleSet / WorldSession.SendSetTitle: outbound
TitleSet (0x002C), u32 titleId, matching ACE's GameActionSetTitle.
- GameEventWiring gains onCharacterTitleTable/onUpdateTitle delegate
holes (Core.Net cannot reference AcDream.Runtime directly).
Runtime:
- New RuntimeCharacterTitleState (RuntimeCharacterState.Titles): earned
title id set + display title id, TableReplaced/TitleAdded/
DisplayTitleChanged events matching retail's unconditional-add /
gated-display-set contract, clears at generation reset.
RuntimeCharacterOwnershipSnapshot/CaptureOwnership/IsConverged and
RuntimeCharacterSnapshot extended (trailing optional fields, no
existing call site broken).
- IRuntimeCharacterCommands.SetTitle: generation-gated, sends
TitleSet only — NO optimistic local mutation. Verified against
retail's own CM_Social::Event_SetDisplayCharacterTitle @0x006a5720,
which sends the wire message and touches no local field; the display
title updates only from the server's own echo (the CA-campaign
lesson: never re-add an optimistic write). Implemented on both hosts
(DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter direct-send;
CurrentGameRuntimeCommandAdapter via LiveCommandBus /
LiveSessionCommandRouter's new SetTitleRuntimeCmd).
- LiveSessionEventRouter wires the two inbound events unconditionally
(RuntimeCharacterState.Titles is a required child, not an optional
sibling like Fellowship/Allegiance).
App (non-UI plumbing + resolver):
- CharacterTitleResolver (src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/): ports
CharacterTitleTable::GetCharacterTitleFromID @0x005c6ed0 — titleId ->
EnumMapper(0x22000041) canonical key -> compute_str_hash ->
StringTable(0x2300000E) localized text. Runtime stays id-only; CT3/
CT4 consume this for display. DIDs hardcoded per the RetailKeyNames
precedent (CT1 verified them end-to-end).
Register: no new row. Retail's send path is non-optimistic and so is
ours — no deviation to record for this slice.
Tests: wire conformance (byte-exact + truncation) in
CharacterTitleEventsTests.cs + SocialActionsTests.cs; Runtime owner
unit tests in RuntimeCharacterTitleStateTests.cs plus integration in
RuntimeCharacterStateTests.cs; a no-local-mutation command test in
DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapterTests.cs; an InstalledDat pin
(CharacterTitleResolverLiveDatTests.cs, ids 0/1/2/3/5/13/14, run green
with ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1). Full solution build green;
hermetic filtered suite green (15,380 passed / 0 failed).

Applies the Opus dual-lens review corrections to CT1's DAT ground-truth
research (docs/research/2026-08-24-campaign-ct-dat-ground-truth.md):
- Window constraints (BLOCKER): replaced the "likely a hardcoded
ResizeTo/SetMinSize" guess with the verified mechanism —
UIElement::ResizeTo clamps only via element attributes 0x3C-0x3F,
nothing writes them at runtime, and retail resizes the SHARED
gmPanelUI host (LayoutDesc 0x2100006E, slot 0x1000018E) rather than
0x2100002E's own content root. Flags the unresolved 300x600-vs-300x362
size tension for CT3/CT6 and marks the host elements NOT PROBED by
CT1.
- RowHighlightSprite upgraded from a flagged hedge to a SEALED VERDICT:
the stat row's selected-state media is 0x06000F93
(gmAttributeUI::UpdateSelection -> InfoRegion::SetState on template
0x10000248), not 0x06001397 (which is legitimately the spellbook
row's separate selected-overlay mechanism). Falsifies the matching
comment in CharacterStatController.cs and dated-corrects the older
2026-06-26 doc at the spot that originated the wrong sprite id.
- Replaced the "18px gutter + 7px = 25px" derived story with the bare
authored rectangles (the numbers don't compose cleanly: 300-281=19,
and the 282px row overlaps the 281px scrollbar band by 1px) — CT5
must implement the authored numbers directly, never a derived
listWidth-18 formula.
- Plan doc: corrected the UpdateButtons ghost rule (no selection ->
Ghosted, not "ghosts when selected == current") and added the
AddTitleToList row-write contract for CT3.
- Pins: CharacterPanelLiveDatTests now honors ACDREAM_DAT_DIR first
(matching InstalledDatFactAttribute and its sibling live-DAT test
classes), hoists five vacuous bare-foreach assertions to counted
.ToList() pins, and adds the stat ListBox + scrollbar rect pins that
CT5/CT6 depend on.
- Doc hygiene: marked several probe-session observations (header
geometry "identical" claim, 0x06004CC2 characterization, the
master-map/category-map dump) as unpinned inference vs. committed
fact, corrected the 0x1000052D "throwaway container" mislabel, and
stated the header table's parent-relative coordinate frame.
- Recorded the CT5 gold this round found: InfoRegion::InfoRegion's
icon-DID lookup (a third GetDIDByEnum consumer, category
0x10000002) and gmSkillUI::RebuildSkillList's section-header order
confirmation, plus the RowHeight=22-vs-authored-20 divergence for
attribute rows.
Verified: ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1 CharacterPanelLiveDatTests
filter 9/9 green; hermetic App suite filter (CI's Lane exclusion list)
6111/6111 green. No production code changed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Campaign CT slice CT1 (docs/plans/2026-08-24-character-panel-parity-campaign.md):
establishes the authored ground truth for LayoutDesc 0x2100002E that CT2-CT6
build against, so those slices port against verified DAT facts instead of
guessing. No production code changed.
Header findings: the PK line is authored pure white (the CT4 bug is in
CharacterStatController's runtime color choice, not a DAT gap); the level
color is a pale-gold (1, 0.949, 0.498) WITH an authored outline, diverging
from the current hardcoded Gold constant. The stat ListBox's row-template
list (LayoutDesc 0x21000045) is unreachable via the whole-layout
ImportInfos overload (the #375 same-layout template-list skip filter) --
the targeted ImportInfos(dats, layoutId, elementId) overload is required,
same as UiTemplateListBox's TemplateResolver already uses. The shared
attribute/skill row template (0x10000248) authors a 20x20 icon flush at
X=0 (current code: 16x16 at X=4), fixed 150px/100px name/value columns at
X=25/X=175 (current code: a width-fraction split), and a 7px gap between
the value's right edge and the row's own edge -- the scrollbar-gutter
margin the owner reported missing. The Titles page roster, row template
(LayoutDesc 0x2100005E), and window constraints are also pinned; the
character window's root authors NO min/max size properties at all (unlike
chat's self-contained window layout), and RetailUiRuntime.MountCharacter
never wires DatConstraintSource -- correcting the plan's "already in-tree"
claim for CT6.
Also derives and pins the full CharacterTitleTable::GetCharacterTitleFromID
chain (title id -> EnumMapper(0x22000041) canonical name -> compute_str_hash
-> StringTable(0x2300000E) localized text), resolved via the two-level
DBObj::GetDIDByEnum master-map indirection (0x25000000 -> category map ->
target DID) and verified end to end against ACE's CharacterTitle.WarMage=13
-> "War Mage". This independently cross-validates RetailKeyNames' existing
0x2300000A/0x2300000B/0x23000007 constants, which turn out to be the same
category-4 map's enum 4/5/3 entries.

Owner screenshot pair (2026-08-24): retail centers 'Chat' in the whole
46x17 face; we drew it at the synthetic 20px left indent. The caption
child (0x10000015) spans the full button with H=Center/V=Center and no
margins (live-DAT probed) — the controller now derives
ButtonTextCentered from the authored HJustify instead of leaving the
indent default.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Owner report (2026-08-24, post gate-pass): the chat channel button was
bigger than retail and both its caption and the Send caption were warm
gold instead of retail's near-white.
Size: retail never resizes the talk button — HandleSelection
@0x004cd540 only swaps the caption string; the authored 46x17 element
stands, and the authored SHORT captions ('Gen', 'Fell', ...) fit it —
that is why retail abbreviates. Our content-widening reflow (grow the
button to its label, shift the input) was a compensation for the
now-retired invented long captions, measured with the wrong font on
top. Deleted; the authored row layout stands.
Color + font: the button caption child (0x10000015) and the Send
button (0x10000019) both author pure white text with their OWN FontDid
0x40000002 (live-DAT probed) — different from the transcript font,
which is the other half of why 'Chat' fits 46px. UiMenu gains a
ButtonDatFont for the caption (popup rows keep the menu font);
the controller reads both elements' authored FontColor/FontDid instead
of the invented (1,.92,.72) constants.
The old widening pin is rewritten to the retail contract; a new
conformance test pins authored width, white captions, and the authored
font DID being requested for both buttons.

Four of the five owner-reported chat deltas (2026-08-24), each traced to
its retail mechanism:
1. Missing gold separator left of the input: the chat input authors two
1px Type-3 rail CHILDREN (0x10000017 at X=0, 0x10000018
right-anchored) whose only media is Normal_focussed (0x06004D67,
live-DAT probed). UiField consumes its DAT children, so the rails
were swallowed and never drawn. The factory now folds them into the
field, which draws both while focused.
2. Button says "General", retail says "Gen": the talk button's short
caption comes from per-target ID_Chat_ChatTargetMenu* strings
(HandleSelection @0x004cd540, StringTable 0x23000001 via
compute_str_hash — recovered from the raw binary after BN elided the
ids into name-hash globals). Authored set: Chat/Tell/Fell/Pat/Mon/
Vas/Alg/Gen/Trade/LFG/RP/Soc/Olt. Menu rows + squelch/tell specials
resolve from the same table (ID_Chat_TellTo*); production resolves
through DatStringResolver, fallbacks ARE the authored EoR English.
ChatStringsLiveDatTests pins the whole set against the installed DAT.
3. Channel button stayed green while the popup was open: retail's
pressed face is the momentary physical press ("flicks"); the OPEN
state drives only the arrow-cap child's StateDesc swap
(UIElement_Menu::UpdateState @0x0046cad0 writes attribute 0xe).
UiMenu now keys the face on the press, not on IsOpen.
4. Window-title/button text "vibrates" while dragging windows:
DrawStringDatPass snapped glyphs with MathF.Round — banker's
rounding. A centered label with a constant .5 fraction alternates
round-up/round-down across successive integers, double-stepping then
sticking while the background glides. Half-up Floor(v+0.5) snaps
every tie one way: uniform 1px steps in lock-step with sprites.
The fifth report (input row sticking out on window resize) did not
reproduce: a controller-bound fixture resize at 220/300/600px keeps the
whole input row inside the window (test added) — awaiting the owner's
exact gesture.

Owner report + live [ui-hover] probe (2026-08-24): hovering a
content-fits scrollbar did nothing because IsModelDisabled made the
whole bar hit-TRANSPARENT — every hover over it reported
widget=<none>. Retail's arrows and thumb are real child elements whose
Normal_rollover hot-tracking keeps running while the scrollbar is
disabled (UpdateLayout @0x004710d0 only hides the page-click regions,
children 4-7, and — with attribute 0x79 — the whole bar); scrolling
stays inert through geometry, not an input gate: a full-track thumb has
zero travel and the line/page steps clamp against nothing.
OnHitTest and the input path now gate on presentation visibility only.
A visible disabled bar hover-highlights and consumes clicks without
scrolling; a HideWhenDisabled bar stays inert. New root-level hover
tests drive real UiRoot hit-test dispatch (bare widget + the mounted
production character fixture) so this class of "state machine green,
pointer never arrives" bug fails loudly.

Owner report (2026-08-24): our scrollbar arrows pointed the wrong way,
the thumb vanished when there was nothing to scroll, and neither the
thumb nor the arrow buttons reacted to hover/press.
All three are one retail mechanism we had not ported:
1. Seating: UIElement_Scrollbar::UpdateScrollingArea @0x00470AA0 moves
the INCREMENT designee (attribute 0x77) to the top/left corner and
the DECREMENT designee (0x78) to the bottom/right, ignoring authored
positions. The vertical base skin (0x10000455 in layout 0x2100003E)
authors the DOWN-arrow decrement at Y=0 and the UP-arrow increment
at Y=32 (live-DAT probed; sprite art visually verified from decoded
PNGs), so our authored-Y ordering drew both arrows upside down.
DatWidgetFactory now seats by designation; the hand-wired sites
(CharacterStatController, ExternalContainerController, the
Config/Vendor menu chrome) share the new RetailScrollbarChrome
catalog instead of local constants.
2. Full-track thumb: UpdateLayout @0x004710d0 sizes the thumb from
proportion attribute 0x88, which DEFAULTS to 1.0 — a content-fits
bar shows a thumb filling the whole track; disabled only removes
input and the page regions. Our draw skipped the thumb entirely on
!HasOverflow.
3. States: every arrow button and thumb slice authors Normal (red gem /
dark navy), Normal_rollover (amber gem / bright blue) and
Normal_pressed (gold highlight / dark) media. The widget now tracks
thumb hover and selects rollover media on hover and pressed media
while dragging; the factory extracts the thumb-state media for both
the 3-slice and single-sprite thumb shapes.
ScrollbarSkinLiveDatTests pins the designations and state media against
the installed DAT so a revision or importer regression fails loudly.

Third owner-screenshot round: acdream fit one more word per line than
retail and drew glyphs flush against the popup's right border. Retail's
InqSizewMargins @0x00469660 wraps the glyph list at
(bound - m_margL - m_margR) and adds the margins back into the measured
width; the popup skins' shared text child 0x10000396 authors margins
L=2/R=2 (U=2/D=2 on three of the four skins — live-DAT probed). The
presenter now subtracts the horizontal margins from both wrap passes,
re-adds them into the measured width used for root sizing, and counts
the vertical margins in the measured/re-wrapped heights; the widget's
own draw already insets by all four margins (UiText ContentOffsetX +
the top/bottom inset), so the right-side spacing returns for free.
TooltipSkinLiveDatTests pins the authored margins per skin alongside
the P0x3D=256 wrap bound; a new presenter test proves margins shrink
the wrap bound and survive onto the widget.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Owner screenshots vs retail at the CA5 re-check caught both:
Wrap width: the popup skins' shared TEXT CHILD (0x10000396) authors
P0x3D=256 on all four skins — live-DAT probed, now pinned by an
installed-DAT test. Retail's InqSizewMargins UITS_MAX_WIDTH reads the
text element's 0x3D BEFORE the display-width fallback, so retail wraps
tooltip text at 256px; our measure pass used the display width because
TS-85's 'zero elements author P0x3D' sweep had only covered hover
TARGETS, never the popup skins. ApplyTooltipText now measures and
re-wraps at the text child's authored bound, falling back to the display
width only when none is authored.
Alignment: tooltip text rendered centered where retail hugs the left
edge. The skin authors no justification; retail's unauthored default is
Left, our importer's ElementInfo default is Center — the same
wrong-default class as #410's VJustify finding, now recorded there as the
horizontal sibling. Point-fixed in the presenter exactly as the chat
transcript already does; the client-wide default flip stays #410's scope.
The two-pass sizing test now models the real skin (max width on the text
child) and asserts left alignment. Full hermetic suite 15,332 passed / 0
failed; the new live-DAT pin passes against the installed DATs.

Two corrections from the owner's retail-render oracle at the CA5 re-check,
both against readings the TS-85 register row had recorded as settled:
Compose (skill tooltips): retail is formula + newline + description —
GetTooltip @0x004f1fe0's operator+ has the InqSkillFormula output as the
LEFT operand; the old '"\n" + formula, no separator' reading had the
operand order backwards and produced a leading blank line with the formula
and description glued on one line. A formula-less skill (Salvaging) shows
the bare description, matching the failed-InqSkillFormula branch.
Sizing (ALL tooltips, per the owner's direction): retail sizes a tooltip
in TWO passes (StartTooltip @0x0045DE90) — measure-wrap at the max width,
resize the root through the authored ResizeTo clamps, then
RecalculateGlyphList RE-WRAPS the text at its final clamped width and a
second resize grows the root's HEIGHT for the extra lines. The branch the
register called 'a structural no-op' IS that second pass; without it a
description longer than the clamped popup stayed one clipped line, where
retail shows three. ApplyTooltipText now ports the full chain, so every
tooltip surface (items, options rows, character panel, world hover, map)
wraps and grows exactly as retail.
Pinned by BuildTooltip_FormulaFirstThenNewlineThenDescription,
BuildTooltip_FormulaLessSkillShowsBareDescription, and
LongTooltip_RewrapsAtTheClampedPopupWidth_AndGrowsHeightForTheExtraLines.
TS-85 carries both dated corrections. Owner visual re-check owed: skill
tooltip shows formula on line one, description below, long descriptions
wrapping to three-plus lines inside the parchment. Full hermetic suite
15,332 passed / 0 failed.

Two defects the owner found at the CA5 drive, one shared theme: the data
was right and the presentation seam was dead.
#430 (tooltips): the TS-85 Batch-B port set runtime TooltipText on the
runtime-built attribute/vital/skill rows but never gave them a popup
locator, and RetailTooltipPresenter.OnTooltipShow refuses any widget with
AuthoredTooltipRootElementId == 0 — the tooltip could never mount, on any
row, ever. (The register's 'live-verified on the Character tab' was the
OPTIONS panel's Character tab — authored elements with authored locators;
a different surface.) Rows now carry the shared popup skin
0x10000395/0x21000041 — live-DAT probed as the ONLY locator pair the
character layout references, and the same inference UiItemSlot already
ships for runtime-built widgets. TS-85's row carries the dated correction.
#440 (train row stuck): training a skill debited credits on screen but
left the row in the untrained section until the NEXT click — because the
sheet-changed subscription only refreshed the captured sheet, and row
STRUCTURE rebuilt exclusively in click handlers (the raise 'completed'
callback runs after SEND, before the server answers; the owner's second
click was simply the first rebuild after the record landed, and ACE's
rejection of that second train — 'Failed to train', no credit change —
matches the owner's report exactly). The same gap kept CA4's
awaiting-ghost from visually releasing. CharacterStatController.Bind now
returns the data-changed refresh and MountCharacter invokes it on every
authoritative sheet change, mirroring retail's quality-change broadcast
(InfoRegion::OnQualityChanged @ 0x004F0EB0).
Pinned by DataChangedRefresh_MovesATrainedSkillToItsSection_WithoutAClick
and Rows_CarryTheSharedTooltipPopupLocatorAndDescriptionText. Owner
visual re-check owed next session (hover-dwell a row; train a skill and
watch it move immediately). Full hermetic suite 15,329 passed / 0 failed.

The user-driven verification matrix for the whole advancement chain on a
scratch character: live run-speed change under a Quickness raise, the
Endurance single-record stamina fan-out, the deliberate raise-10 failure
probe that resolves the narrowed AP-73 ghost question, skill raise/train,
gem-driven specialize/lower with the confirmation dialog, and a
regression sweep. CA1-CA4 are committed and pushed; this script is the
campaign's remaining gate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Retail sends a raise and WAITS: one request in flight, the raise
controls ghost, and displayed state changes only when the authoritative
quality-change record lands (gmStatManagementUI @ 0x004F03F0 family,
pinned in docs/research/2026-07-10-retail-panel-behavior-pseudocode.md
§5, whose own conclusion names ApplyLocalRaise as the thing to remove).
The optimistic layer predates the inbound parsers — it existed so the
panel showed anything at all — and with CA2 delivering server truth it
became strictly harmful: against ACE, a wrong TrainSkill cost fails
SILENTLY, so the optimistic promote-and-debit could show a trained
skill the server refused with nothing to ever correct it.
Deleted: CharacterSheetProvider.ApplyLocalRaise + both spend helpers,
and LocalPlayerState's six optimistic mutators (ApplyAttributeRaise,
ApplyVitalRaise, ApplySkillRaise, ApplySkillTraining, DebitIntProperty,
DebitInt64Property) with their tests. Added: the one-in-flight latch in
HandleRaiseRequest, CharacterSheet.AwaitingRaise ghosting all raise
controls, and gate release on every authoritative quality signal
(attribute/character/player-property events unconditionally; vital
events only release-and-refresh while a raise is in flight, so regen
ticks stay out of the sheet-rebuild path). Panel unmount resets the
gate — retail's awaiting flag lives on the panel instance.
AP-73 NARROWS rather than retires: retail's release on a rejection that
produces NO quality change is statically unverifiable, and ACE sends
chat-only (Raise*) or nothing (RaiseSkill/TrainSkill) on failure; until
the CA5 live check, a silently-rejected request leaves the controls
ghosted until panel reopen — recorded with its observable symptom.
Also verified for CA4: the train button sends the DAT-exact TrainedCost
(ACE's silent exact-match rule), and there is correctly NO panel
specialize send — retail/ACE specialize only via the SkillAlterationDevice
item-use + confirmation round-trip, whose client seams
(SendConfirmationResponse 0x0275, the 0x028B WeenieErrorWithString chat
routing) already exist. Provider tests now pin the retail contract:
send-without-mutation, one-in-flight, release-on-record, release-on-
unmount, and the regen-tick rebuild guard. Full hermetic suite 15,327
passed / 0 failed.

The recompute half of #431, on the CA1 verdict that retail computes
derived values LIVE at inquiry (Set* writes raw; InqSkillBaseLevel
0x00592140 -> SkillFormula::Calculate 0x00591960 re-derive per call;
InqRunRate 0x00592800 runs every motion tick; UI notifications carry no
value and widgets re-pull):
- LocalPlayerState gains the SkillTable formula resolver — the same
delegate shape (and App-side implementation, RetailSkillFormula over
the loaded SkillTable) the PlayerDescription path already uses. An
attribute write re-derives every skill snapshot's cached formula
contribution; recomputing at the only write that changes the inputs
yields values identical to retail's compute-on-read at every read. A
freshly TRAINED skill unseen at login derives its contribution live
instead of defaulting to zero forever.
- The router pushes movement-skill totals down the SAME seam
PlayerDescription uses (UpdateMovementSkillBase -> vitae/enchantment
recompute -> OnSkillsUpdated -> the App stats applier) after an
attribute update, and after a skill update for Run (24) / Jump (22)
only. This is what turns a Quickness raise into visible run speed
mid-session; the server's own movement-packet echo
(HandleRunRateUpdate -> ApplyServerRunRate) remains the correcting
authority.
- Vitals maxima needed no new plumbing: GetMaxApprox reads attribute
currents live and the vitals window binds getter lambdas re-read per
frame, so CA2's attribute fan-out completes that path. The character
panel already subscribes to AttributeChanged/CharacterChanged.
Tests: router behavior test drives the real WorldSession events through
the real router and asserts the full chain (state write, live 160/2=80
re-derivation, movement push totals, and that a non-movement skill does
NOT push); the subscription-count contract now includes the two new
events; Core tests cover the fresh-train resolver derivation. Full
hermetic suite 15,335 passed / 0 failed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The server's authoritative answers to a raise were dropped on the floor:
only the vitals pair (0x02E7/0x02E9) had parsers, so after any
RaiseAttribute/RaiseSkill/TrainSkill the client's stat model stayed
frozen at login's PlayerDescription — the root cause of #431's stale
derived skills and run speed. The GUI looked alive only because the
panel applies optimistic local raises.
New parsers with three-source-verified layouts (CA1 research doc §2.5/
§2.8): PrivateUpdateAttribute (0x02E3) and PrivateUpdateSkill (0x02DD —
the wire's ushort ranks + hardcoded adjustPP=1 pair and f64
lastUsedTime preserved exactly). WorldSession dispatches both as typed
events; LiveSessionEventRouter routes them into the J4 character owner's
LocalPlayerState like every other private update. The vestigial
PrivateUpdateSkillLevel (0x02DF) is deliberately unparsed — ACE has no
producer (verified).
OnAttributeUpdate now fans out to the derived-value observers, mirroring
retail's live-at-inquiry model (CACQualities::InqSkill 0x00592660 —
Set* writes raw, Inq* recomputes, notification carries no value): an
Endurance write notifies the Health AND Stamina vital observers (ACE
pushes only a Health record and its own comment says the client must
refresh both), Self notifies Mana, and every attribute write notifies
character-sheet consumers whose formula contributions just changed.
OnSkillWireUpdate preserves the login FormulaBonus — the wire record
carries no attribute contribution; CA3 replaces the cached field with
the live computation.
Also corrected while in the neighborhood: PropertyString.cs's comment
claimed opcode 0x02DD for PrivateUpdatePropertyString; ACE's enum says
0x02D5/0x02D6 (doc-only — nothing dispatched on either).
Conformance tests cover both layouts (including holtburger's golden
skill fixture with adjustPP=1), truncation/wrong-opcode rejection, the
Endurance/Self/Quickness fan-out contract, and FormulaBonus
preservation. Full hermetic suite 15,333 passed / 0 failed (one
load-sensitive transport flake observed on the first run, passed alone
and on the clean re-run — filed as #439 rather than chased).

Two parallel research passes assembled with a hand-verification ledger on
every load-bearing claim.
Wire (ACE + Chorizite + holtburger, field-for-field agreement on all six
inbound layouts): PrivateUpdateAttribute 0x02E3, PrivateUpdateVital 0x02E7
(always Max-family vital ids 1/3/5), PrivateUpdateAttribute2ndLevel 0x02E9
(always current-family ids 2/4/6 — a parser must NOT treat the two as one
id space), PrivateUpdateSkill 0x02DD (ushort ranks + the hardcoded
adjustPP=1 pair, f64 lastUsedTime), PrivateUpdatePropertyInt 0x02CD
(AvailableSkillCredits=24) and Int64 0x02CF (AvailableExperience=2).
Ordered action->response chains for all four raise/train actions,
including the retail quirk that an Endurance raise pushes only a HEALTH
full-vital record and the client is expected to refresh stamina from it
too. Specialize/untrain/reset have NO dedicated opcode — item-Use plus a
confirmation round-trip reusing the same update messages. 0x02DF has no
ACE producer (verified); CA2 skips it.
Recompute (named-retail + live Ghidra): retail computes skills, vitals
maxima and run rate LIVE at inquiry time — Set* are raw-storage writes,
InqSkill re-derives from the attribute formula every call (verified in
the decompile, including the z==0 early-out that IS the attribute-less
Salvaging handling and the +10 augmentation adds), InqRunRate runs every
motion tick, and UI refresh is a value-less observer notification.
Two corrections to our own tree surfaced: PropertyString.cs's comment
claims 0x02DD (it is 0x02D5 — doc-only, nothing dispatches on it), and
SkillSnapshot.FormulaBonus is frozen at PlayerDescription parse — the
stale-cache half of #431 that CA3 replaces with the live computation.
RetailSkillFormula.TryCalculate already ports 0x00591960 exactly, so CA3
reuses it rather than porting anew.

The owner widened #431 into the full advancement family: real-time
refresh of vitals maxima (attribute AND direct vital raises), derived
skills, run speed under Quickness, attribute-less skills like Salvaging,
and the untested train/specialize/respec flows. The promotion survey
pinned the root cause: every outbound raise action (0x0044-0x0047) is
wired — which is why the GUI 'works' — while the inbound private
attribute/skill update family is parsed nowhere (only the vitals pair
0x02E7/0x02E9 is), so the server's post-raise truth never reaches
LocalPlayerState and no recompute ever triggers. Plan doc carries the
oracle targets (message family from ACE/Chorizite/holtburger, retail's
recompute chain in named-retail, specialization/respec semantics) and
five slices ending in a user-driven connected gate. #430 tooltips are
explicitly sequenced after, on the #409 tooltip system.

#438 records the design agreed with the owner: launcher-owned opt-in WER
LocalDumps key (HKCU, minidump, capped count), crash bundle assembled on
the next launch from the dump + log tail + version + capability report,
and an explicit NO-auto-upload line — dumps can hold the plaintext
session password, so sharing stays a user action until there is real
infrastructure and a consent flow. The owner's own machine is already
armed manually for the #422 hunt; this productizes it for alpha users.

The r6 soak hard-fails without 'move-truth OUT' lines, yet the only
automated guard was a text assertion that the SCRIPT sets the env var —
it stayed green while #435 part 2 deleted the emitter, and the breakage
would have surfaced as a misleading connected-gate failure. The new
contract test asserts all four links of the chain in one place: the
script greps the pattern, MovementTruthDiagnosticController still emits
it, RuntimeOptions still parses the flag, and GameWindow still wires it
through. Deleting any link fails here, at build time, with the reason.

Attacking with no valid target has told the player nothing since Campaign V
slice V11 orphaned the DebugVM toast the message was wired to (#434 found
the drop; this closes it retail-faithfully).
Ground truth from the Ghidra decompile of
ClientCombatSystem::ExecuteAttack (0x0056bb70): retail writes
"You must select a valid combat target before attacking" via
ClientSystem::AddTextToScroll(..., 0x1A, true, 0) — the ClientLocal
SpewBox channel this codebase already routes every other client-local
refusal through. And retail has ONE message, not the two we carried:
attacking outside melee/missile modes is silent (ExecuteAttack is
unreachable there), so the invented "Enter melee or missile combat first"
text is deleted rather than rerouted, and the invented "No monster
target" is replaced by the retail string, which joins ClientTextRefusals
with its decomp citation.
Wiring: CombatFeedbackSlot gains the sibling BindOwned session-lifetime
shape, and SessionPlayerComposition.CompleteSessionPlayer binds it to
RuntimeCommunicationState.AddText(ClientLocal) with session-owned
teardown — a torn-down session's slot returns to its silent unbound
state. A binding-seam test
(CompleteSessionPlayerBindsCombatFeedbackToTheClientLocalSpewBoxRoute)
inspects the compiled composition for the BindOwned call and its
AddText-routing lambda, so the slot can never again pass its unit tests
while production leaves it unbound — the exact failure mode that hid
this defect. The two tests that pinned the invented strings now pin the
retail contract (exact string; silence for the unsupported-mode case).
Full hermetic suite 15,325 passed / 0 failed.
