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surfaces it fully superseded.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.

Mounts retail's Options panel (LayoutDesc 0x2100002B resolved through host
0x2100006E slot 0x1000018D, gmPanelUI key 10) via the same catalog-import
pattern CharacterController already validates, registered through
RetailPanelUiController so it shares retail's "one active gmPanelUI child"
mutual exclusion with every other sibling panel for free. F11 and the
toolbar's options button (0x1000019B, already authoring panel id 10) both
now open it; the close button fires the same ToggleOptionsPanel action.
OptionPageModel (OptionPage/BoolOptionRow) ports retail's exact
Apply/Reset/Defaults/visibility semantics from
UIOption_Checkbox/PlayerOptionPage — LED clicks apply live immediately,
Apply commits every row unconditionally + flushes the batched blob, Reset
reverts only Changed rows, Defaults restores without committing, and
tab-switch/window-hide revert uncommitted edits. Wired for all four tabs;
this slice registers real rows on none of them (Gameplay authentically has
none — a pure button list). UiTabPanel gains an ActivePageChanged event so
the page model can hook every tab transition, including the initial
default-tab activation.
The seven Gameplay-tab buttons: Exit Game reuses the existing graceful
window-close path; Exit to Character Selection gets retail's confirmation
dialog and byte-verified mid-air refusal but still behaves as Exit Game
(AD-74 — no pre-world character-select flow exists); Configure Keyboard
and In-Game Help Files are inert this slice (AD-76 for Help — the
plugin retail depends on doesn't exist); Urgent Assistance/Report Abuse
short-circuit to their own byte-verified failure text through the
interface-text seam instead of ShellExecute against a dead URL (AD-75);
Use Mouse Turning Settings runs the pure MouseTurningSettingsMacro port,
persisting five new CameraTurningSettings preferences and sending
PlayerOption.UseMouseTurning — TS-74 records that acdream has no
persistent mouse-turning camera mode for the bit to drive yet.
Full Release suite: 12,918 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,871/4/0 — only new tests added).

Mounts retail's four floating chat windows as always-resident, born-hidden
children per gmGamePlayUI::SetupChildren @0x004E9EC0, all sharing LayoutDesc
0x2100005B (window ids 0x10000505/0x1000050E/0x1000050F/0x10000510). New
FloatingChatWindowController (AcDream.App/UI/Layout) binds each window's own
widget tree — built fresh per instance from one shared imported ElementInfo
— reusing ChatWindowController's word-wrap + retail color-carry algorithm via
the extracted ChatTranscriptRenderer instead of duplicating it. A floaty
window has no talk-focus menu (research doc §2.2), so its entry field always
sends on Say; the mismatch against retail's possible shared-channel behavior
is UNVERIFIED and filed as #369/AP-188.
Runtime owns the per-window filter/open state: ChatWindowState (new,
AcDream.Core.Chat) seeds retail's exact PostInit defaults per window
(window 1 0x0000101C Speech/Tell/DirectSend/Emote, window 2 0x00040C00
Social/SocialSend/Allegiance, window 3 0x00080000 Fellowship, window 4
0x78000000 Turbine General/Trade/LFG/Roleplay) and implements the full
ShouldDisplay(windowId, targetWindowId, logTextType) display predicate from
ChatInterface::RecvNotice_DisplayFinalStringInfo @0x004F4640. It lives on
RuntimeCommunicationState.ChatWindows so every host borrows the same
instance. The main window's filter (0xFBFFFFFF, "no user filter") never
actually gates anything because its own explicit-address branch already
covers every broadcast line — that's why UpdateFromPlayerModule early-returns
for window 0 in retail, ported here by construction rather than a special
case.
Keybind wiring: InputAction.ToggleFloatingChatWindow1..4 and their
KeyBindings.RetailDefaults() chords already existed since Phase K.1c
(unwired until now). The MetaKeys table confirms retail's default is Alt+1
through Alt+4 (index 3 = bit 0x00000004, cross-checked against the same
file's Alt+A/D strafe and Alt+Enter/Tab/F4 rows). Routes through
GameplayInputCommandController -> RetainedGameplayWindowCommands ->
RetailUiRuntime.ToggleFloatingChatWindow -> the generic UiHost.ToggleWindow,
whose visibility-change event is the single chokepoint that syncs
ChatWindowState.SetOpen and mirrors the main window's 1-4 indicator button
regardless of what changed a window's visibility (keybind, close button, or
a restored layout).
A direct decomp read of gmMainChatUI::ListenToElementMessage @0x004CDA80 —
the only function in the whole binary that branches on a click message —
settles what the research doc had left as a hedge: it handles exactly
0x1000046f (max/min) and the talk-focus menu's selection message, with NO
case for 0x10000522-0x10000525. The four indicator buttons are PURE
one-directional mirrors in retail; clicking them does nothing.
ChatWindowController.SetIndicatorOpen ports this with no OnClick at all.
Corrected research doc §1.4 accordingly.
Persistence is local-only (register row AP-187; the retail 0x1000008C
GameplayOptions wire remains deferred to CH6f): window geometry and
open/visible state ride the existing generic RetailWindowLayoutPersistence
path for free once each window registers under its own WindowNames entry;
the four filter masks get a dedicated ChatSettings round-trip
(ChatWindow1Filter..ChatWindow4Filter, defaulting to the retail PostInit
constants) loaded at mount and saved alongside SaveLayout().
Tests: ChatWindowStateTests (defaults, TypeIsActive, the full display-rule
matrix, toggle/reset, revision counter), FloatingChatWindowControllerTests
(bind smoke tests against a synthetic 0x2100005B tree, per-window filter
routing, filter-change cache invalidation, fixed-Say submit), new
ChatWindowController.SetIndicatorOpen tests (Highlight/Normal state,
cross-window isolation, range validation), GameplayInputCommandController
routing for the four toggle actions, and a SettingsStore filter round-trip.
Full Release suite: 12,392 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

Establish the J1 presentation-independent contract with instance-scoped clocks and generations, immutable borrowed views, typed generation-gated commands, normalized ordered diagnostics, and teardown acknowledgements. Route graphical startup plus press-time selection, movement, and combat through focused App adapters over the exact existing owners without adding a queue or mirrored world.
Validated by the Release solution build, 13 Runtime tests, 3,838 App tests with three existing skips, and the complete 8,424-test Release suite with five existing skips.
