Prove idle play remains passive and live until cancellation, then converges through one truthful status teardown. Keep probe mode string-only so numeric enum aliases cannot expand the pinned v1 contract, and record the Windows/WSL gates.
Both remaining agents were stopped for token budget and their partial work
committed as WIP (75a6724d LA1 fix round, c6019424 LA2). The handoff now
carries: full worktree paths with branches and HEADs, exactly what each
stopped agent had finished versus what it still owes, and a paste-ready
kickoff prompt naming all three resumable items plus the two owed merge
items.

Self-contained handoff for a fresh session: what the campaign is and which
decisions are settled, the slice ledger with commits, the in-flight slices
and how to recover them from git, the two owed merge items (cross-assembly
contract test, Launcher.Core CI lane), the session landmines (index-sweep,
stale agent worktrees, contract-in-prompts), the binding process, and the
goal text to set.
Committed via pathspec so a live implementer agent index in this worktree
is untouched.

Opus review of LA3 returned FIX FIRST; this addresses every finding in
scope (F1-F5, F7-F12; F6 CI-lane addition excluded per instructions):
- F1 (CRITICAL): SessionProcessSettings.Paths is now nullable and left
null by SessionConfigComposer unless a caller supplies overrides, so
the JSON key is entirely absent instead of "paths":{} — the App-side
loader's strict UnmappedMemberHandling.Disallow would otherwise reject
every gui/guiSelect session-config document at load.
- F2: added SessionConfigComposer.ComposeProbe and a nullable
SessionDescriptor.Mode field ("probe", omitted for normal play) per
the pinned contract — no character/policy/plugins/loginCommands.
- F3: LauncherProcessSupervisor.Stop now tries
ILauncherChildProcess.TryRequestGracefulStop (Linux: libc SIGINT via
LibraryImport, K4-proven graceful headless logout) before
CloseMainWindow. Windows has no reliable no-window-console equivalent
today; filed docs/ISSUES.md #397 with the CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP +
CTRL_BREAK fix direction. Stop()'s blocking-timeout contract is now
documented for LA4.
- F4: LauncherProfileStore.Save chmods the Linux temp file to 0600
immediately after creation, before any credential is serialized;
failure paths and Load() clean up a stale .tmp.
- F5: added LauncherCoreDependencyBoundaryTests asserting Launcher.Core
references exactly AcDream.Platform and no packages.
- F7: StatusEventParser.Parse no longer throws on a whitespace/null
line; StatusFileTailer.ReadNewEvents swallows the File.Exists/open
TOCTOU window (FileNotFoundException/DirectoryNotFoundException/
IOException) instead of throwing.
- F8: Start() now kills (entire process tree) and disposes a child that
started successfully but failed while being fed its stdin password,
instead of orphaning it.
- F9: SetState is monotonic — once Exited, no later transition applies
or fires StateChanged, closing a Start()-path race where a
synchronously-exiting child could be "resurrected" to Running.
- F10: CharacterIdFormat.TryParse now requires the "0x" prefix (an
unprefixed hand-typed decimal id is also valid hex and was silently
misread); a parsed id of 0 is treated as unusable and falls back to
the name selector; LauncherProfileStore.MergeRoster normalizes both
sides through TryParse/ToHexString instead of raw string equality, so
a legacy unprefixed-hex row self-heals via name match instead of
duplicating.
- F11: StatusCharacterEntry.SecondsGreyedOut is now uint, matching
CharacterRosterEntry and the host writer.
- F12: added MalformedStatusEvent, returned for a recognized `e` whose
payload doesn't match its shape, distinguished from UnknownStatusEvent
(an unrecognized `e`).
AllowUnsafeBlocks was added to AcDream.Launcher.Core.csproj — required
by the LibraryImport source generator's function-pointer marshalling
stub for F3's Linux SIGINT P/Invoke.
Verification: dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release green (0 errors);
dotnet test tests/AcDream.Launcher.Core.Tests -c Release green at 94/94
on native Windows and under WSL (Ubuntu, verified across multiple runs
for the timing-sensitive SIGINT/sharing-violation tests, no flakes
observed).

The LA3 Opus review process note was right: the contract both sides
implement lived only in orchestrator prompts, which is exactly the drift
mode the pin exists to prevent (and it produced the paths-key CRITICAL).
The schema, field rules, probe-mode discriminator, and status vocabulary
are now a binding plan section; amendments change this text first,
implementations second. Ledger: LA3 fix round dispatched.

The spec seeded the wrong claim (restore extra strings = decompiler
artifact, no register row needed); the LA7a Opus review decoded the
PDB-paired binary and showed the two constant-string arguments are real,
making our guid-only request an adaptation — AD-97 filed on the LA7a
branch. Plan LA7 now carries the review-surfaced LA7b hazards (ACE
silent no-reply restore path, SendToLogon/SendToControl routing,
NumErrors sentinel).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Opus retail-lens review decoded the PDB-paired binary at
CPlayerSystem::RestoreCharacter@0x0055d760 and refuted the
uninitialized-edx justification: the two extra arguments are real
push imm32 of a constant PStringBase (BN mis-renders them, but they
pack to >=4 bytes each), so retail 0xF7D9 is >=16 bytes where ours
is 8. The guid-only CODE stands (ACE reads only the guid; holtburger
consensus) but it is an adaptation, not a corrected decompile — filed
as divergence register AD-97 and the doc comment now states the true
mechanism.
Also from the review: the 0xF643 conditional-parse doc now names BOTH
ACE flag-only failure branches (NameInUse + Corrupt); CharacterError
0x08 doc corrected (ACE misnames it ServerCrash2 — the port corrects
an ACE misnaming; ACE omits three values, not four); LA7b hazard notes
added (ACE silent no-reply on unknown restore guid; retail SendToLogon
vs SendToControl routing; NumErrors never rendered); two review-nit
tests (flag=0 Undef flag-only, non-Ok body with trailing bytes
ignored).
Core.Net suite: 953 passed / 0 failed.

The re-review closed all six findings and flagged one docs-only nit: the
Platform layer block described App as reaching Platform transitively when
the same commit made the reference direct, and spoke of the launcher in
the present tense. Both corrected.

Opus dual-lens review of cb6502c8 passed with six findings; this lands
the fix round:
1. headless-portability.yml: AcDream.Platform src/tests join both path
triggers and the presentation-free build/test arrays — the moved XDG
tests run on ubuntu-latest again (they had fallen out of every Linux
lane).
2. acdream-architecture.md: AcDream.Platform gets its own layer block;
Runtime may-reference clause updated (the guard changed in cb6502c8,
its human-readable twin had not).
3. PlatformDependencyBoundaryTests: the BCL-only contract (zero
project/package references) is now enforced, not just observed.
4. memory/project_linux_graphical.md canonical seam renamed.
5. Plan LA0 recon corrected: the K0 Headless guard was never the guard
needing amendment (it asserts Headless own refs); Runtime own-refs
guard was — the commit did the right thing, the plan text now says so.
6. App declares its AcDream.Platform reference explicitly per its own
convention instead of riding transitivity.
Platform.Tests: 4 passed (3 moved + the new guard).

User decision 2026-08-14: everything the launcher does ships Linux-tested
in this campaign (launcher UI, install/update with manual DAT picker,
headless launches with plugins + login commands, probe, per-slice Linux
test runs, Linux connected-gate section at LA11). GUI client launches
stay Windows-only until Slice L resumes later; the launcher renders GUI
modes disabled on Linux with an explicit note, and the host-agnostic
session-config contract means Slice L lights them up with no launcher
changes.

Plan doc with twelve slices, dependencies, review protocol (Opus
dual-lens: architectural + retail-faithful), and ledger. Three parallel
recon reports grounded the slice bodies:
- Retail select screen is gmCharacterManagementUI: flat listbox +
Enter/Delete/Restore + dialogs. NO 3D preview (that machinery is
chargen-only gmCG3DView) — the spec 3D-preview slice is deleted, the
old retail-ui/05-panels.md pedestal claim is uncited and wrong.
Restore + CharacterError join scope; delete sends account+slot.
- Chat-command core (parser/router/catalog/ChatVM) is dependency-clean
BCL+Core; extraction to Runtime is a move, not a rewrite.
- Probe reuses the NoCharacters early-exit shape (graceful teardown at
the CharacterList stage exists today); roster plumbing is new.
- Bake tool needs --progress-json + explicit --out; no whole-file SHA
exists — launcher records/verifies its own.
- UI Studio is deleted (Campaign V) — stale references corrected.
Roadmap + CLAUDE.md Current state carry the campaign pointer.

Approved brainstorm outcome for the alpha launcher campaign: Approach A
file-contract orchestrator (session config in, stdin credential, JSONL
status events out), full in-UI CRUD for servers/accounts/credentials,
headless character-list probe, retail character-select screen (no
Create), plugins + login commands on both hosts, first-run DAT
locate/bake install, GitHub Releases update feed.

Three findings from the user's first Configure Keyboard look (OP8 gate,
2026-08-14), each root-caused against the named retail decomp:
- #394 row-caption font: the synthesized action-label UiText never set
DatFont and fell to the debug bitmap font. The authored row template
(0x21000009/0x1000002F, retail UIOption_ActionKeyMap) carries FontDid
0x4000000A (18px serif) — Bind now takes resolveTemplateFont and applies
the template's own authored font, resolved once per template pair.
- #395 key captions: raw enum spellings ("Shift+ShiftLeft") replaced by the
port of CInputManager_WIN32::GetNameFromKey @0x00687F40 /
GetNameFromKey_Internal @0x00687800 (RetailKeyNames): DAT string-table
override by DIK-name hash (key enum 4 -> 0x2300000A, meta enum 5 ->
0x2300000B, delimiter enum 3 -> 0x23000007 — GetDIDByEnum category 4,
live-probed), else the OS keyboard layout's own key name ("SKIFT") via
PlatformKeyNameProvider (Win32 GetKeyNameTextW — register row AD-96 for
the DirectInput-vs-GetKeyNameText adaptation), else the DIK-suffix
spelling. Bare modifier-key bindings show only the key name.
- #396 capture feedback: clicking a mapping button now opens retail's
instruction dialog (InitiateBinding @0x004899D0 -> OpenMapWarnDialog
@0x00488A00): a type-2 WAIT dialog on retail's MapWarn queue key
0x10000001 with ID_ActionKeyMap_MapInstructions (0x23000004, ACTION
variable interpolated), closed on key hit or ESC through the capture
callback; capture is not armed if the dialog cannot open, matching
retail. New RetailWaitDialogView (wait root 0x31 — same authored
popup/message pair 0x3D/0x3E as the confirmation root, live-DAT probed)
behind a shared IRetailDialogView presenter seam.
Probe evidence (env-gated, kept):
KeyboardConfigLiveMountProbeTests.ProbeKeyboardFontsAndKeyNameStrings.
Register: AD-96 filed. Gate script OP8 section updated (step 4 rewritten;
the "pressed/active state is enough" contract is retired).
Full Release solution suite green (13,424 passed / 4 skips).

The two-client user gate PASSED 2026-08-14 (open both ways, stage with
the retail trading marker, accept/decline, executed swap, Clear All,
cancel text). Every TEMPORARY [trade] probe line from gate rounds 1-2 is
stripped (ItemInteractionController, SelectionInteractionController,
SecureTradeUiController, LiveSessionCommandRouter, WorldSession,
RuntimeTradeState). Roadmap gains the shipped-trade ledger row.
Suites after strip: App 4,992/3, Runtime 1,626 - green.

root cause for every dead interaction) + retail's Total Items caption
The round-2 probes nailed it: the request seam fired for BOTH open
paths (use AND drag - "drag-release pick" -> "drag-on-player" ->
"request"), but no open-cmd, no wire-open, and no LiveCommandBus
drop-warning ever printed. MountSecureTrade captured
_bindings.Options.CommandBus() ONCE at mount time - the pre-session
surface whose Publish routes into a null route silently. CommandBus is
a Func for exactly this reason; the social mounts resolve it inside
each lambda. Every trade command - open (use + drag), accept (the
"unpressable" Trade button - the click FIRED, the publish died),
Clear All, close, and drop-on-grid staging - died on that one captured
bus. All six lambdas now resolve the Func per call.
Also: ID_SecureTrade_TotalItemsLabel probe-verified token-free
(fragments ["Total Items: ", ""], one ITEMS variable 0x004E8A23) and
composed via ResolveTemplate - the count texts read retail's exact
"Total Items: N". AD-95 RETIRED same-day.
The pre-feature stub-toast test row (drag-on-player option-on expecting
"Secure trade is not open.") now pins the SecureTradeRequested seam
instead. App suite 4,991/3 skips.

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

From the 2026-08-14 highres verification: acdream always runs at retail
MAX texture detail (Textures[0] + unconditional client_highres.dat).
Retail's two knobs (ID_Option_HighResChange gating LoadHighResDat
@0x004FA250; Landscape/Environment TextureDetail as a mip-chain start
index @0x0044C3C8) are recorded with their decomp anchors and the
acdream-side seams. Post-M4.

refused-drop yellow notice
Item 4 (confirmation dialogs missing text + names): the missing retail
mechanism was StringTable template substitution - an entry is N+1 literal
fragments interleaved with N named variables, composed by
StringTable::GetString @0x004300D0 (no-metalanguage branch @0x004303B7).
ACE sends the bare player name for types 1/4; retail's OWN CLIENT wraps
it. Ported as DatStringResolver.ResolveTemplate (PLAYER hash 0x05506DA2,
the exact compute_str_hash space; Chorizite stores the variable hashes
directly):
- Server-driven type 4 -> ID_Fellowship_FellowshipRequest, type 1 ->
ID_Allegiance_AcceptSwearConfirmation, injected into
GameplayConfirmationController; null resolve falls back to the bare
wire message, never invented English. The 2/3/5/6 " Continue?" family
never consults the composer.
- Local Swear/Break/Kick: the bind-time fragment-0 latch (which showed
the dangling "Do you wish to swear to ") is replaced by click-time
ResolveTemplate with the target's name.
All five templates verified token-free in the installed DAT - this is
NOT a StringTableMetaLanguage port (AD-81's engine caveat stands).
Item 5 (refused drop shows nothing; retail shows yellow top-center
text): the prevRequest latch was ALREADY ported (InventoryTransactionState);
what was missing was the consumer. InventoryTransactionState now raises
RequestFailed(request, weenieError) when a 0x00A0 clears the latch;
ItemInteractionController composes ServerSaysAttemptFailed @0x0058EAE0's
"The <item> can't be <verb>" (verb table + suffix map ported verbatim in
Core's InventoryFailureMessages, NAME_PLURAL for merge/split) and routes
it as LogTextType 0x1A ClientLocal -> the SpewBox, retail's yellow
top-center line. The dispatcher's second leg (@0x0055B342) also runs:
outside the 7-code exclusion set, WeenieErrorMessages resolves per-code
text/destination; 0x426 AttunedItem has no row in either place beyond
the verb line - faithful single-line output.
Register: AD-85 narrowed to its numeric-field item, AD-81 amended (the
token-free interleave is now ported; meta-token engine + FormatName
remain), AD-93 filed (wire-guid-match vs retail's latched-guid
preference; no Move/Wield latch kinds).
Tests: +2 InventoryTransactionState failure-latch, +5 ResolveTemplate
(constructed StringTable fixtures), +1 composer injection, +1 end-to-end
refused-drop line. Core 4,697/1 skip, App 4,983/3 skips.
