bd01a29eb2 feat(D.2b): LayoutImporter — read layout + resolve inheritance + build tree
Implements Task 5 of the LayoutDesc Importer (Plan 1 — vitals conformance).

Pure layer (BuildFromInfos / Build):
- ImportedLayout result type: UiElement root + O(1) FindElement(uint id) lookup
- BuildWidget dispatches via DatWidgetFactory.Create; skips Type-12 prototypes (null)
- Meters consume their children (DatWidgetFactory already extracted slice ids —
  adding the dat children as UiElement nodes would duplicate geometry)
- All other element types recurse children generically via AddChild

Dat shell (Import):
- Loads LayoutDesc from dats; null-safe if layout is absent
- Resolves each top-level ElementDesc to ElementInfo via Resolve():
  BaseElement/BaseLayoutId chain with (layoutId,elementId) cycle guard
- ToInfo(): reads ElementDesc scalar fields (uint → float cast) + DirectState +
  named States (UIStateId.ToString() as key)
- ReadState(): extracts first MediaDescImage (File + DrawMode) per state +
  font DID from Properties[0x1A] → ArrayBaseProperty → DataIdBaseProperty.Value
- Each sibling element gets a fresh base-chain set (siblings don't share guards)

DRW API: all members confirmed from VitalsLayoutDump.cs usings — no
adjustments needed: LayoutDesc in DBObjs; ElementDesc/StateDesc/MediaDescImage/
ArrayBaseProperty/DataIdBaseProperty in Types; DrawModeType/UIStateId in Enums.

Tests (3/3 green):
- BuildFromInfos_HealthMeter_IsUiMeterAtRect — Type-7 child → UiMeter, Left=5, Width=150
- BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present — prototype absent, container present
- BuildFromInfos_MeterWithChildren_MeterPresent_ChildrenNotInTree — meter findable,
  both dat-children absent, UiMeter.Children empty

fc79fd519d refactor(D.2b): DatWidgetFactory review fixes — single lookup + malformed-meter trace
Fix 1: SliceIds now projects the File id during Select rather than calling
TryGetValue twice (once in Where, once in the local File() helper). Added a
comment noting that OrderBy is stable so X-tie order follows insertion order.

Fix 2: BuildMeter emits a [D.2b] Console.WriteLine when the Type-3 container
count is not exactly 2, surfacing malformed or non-vitals meter elements during
Task 8 conformance testing without disturbing the existing solid-color fallback.

Fix 3: Test 5 adds two explicit NotEqual assertions confirming the
ShowDetail-only overlay sprite (OverlayFile = 0x06007490) did not leak into
FrontRight or FrontTile.

5/5 tests pass, 0 warnings.

38855e7a7b feat(D.2b): DatWidgetFactory — Type→widget hybrid + meter slice extraction
Hybrid factory mapping ElementInfo.Type to a behavioral widget or the
UiDatElement generic fallback.  Type 7 (UIElement_Meter) → UiMeter with
back/front 3-slice ids populated from grandchild image elements; Type 12
(style prototypes / BaseElement stores) → null so the importer skips
them; all other types → UiDatElement.  Rect + anchors are set on every
returned widget via ElementReader.ToAnchors.

BuildMeter walks two levels of the element tree: the two Type-3 slice
containers ordered by ReadOrder (back behind, front on top), then within
each container the image children that carry a DirectState ("" key)
ordered by X for left-cap/center-tile/right-cap.  The expand-detail
overlay (present in the front container with only named ShowDetail/
HideDetail states and no "" entry) is excluded by the TryGetValue("")
filter automatically — no name-matching needed.

Fill/Label providers are intentionally NOT set here; Task 6
(VitalsController) binds them to live stat data.

5 TDD tests: Type7→UiMeter, UnknownType→UiDatElement, Type12→null,
rect+anchors propagation, and meter slice extraction with overlay exclusion.

70dc391c41 test(D.2b): UiDatElement — cover DrawMode passthrough + media fallbacks
- Assert DrawMode values (not just File) in the existing named-vs-direct test
- Add ActiveMedia_NoMedia_ReturnsZero: empty StateMedia → (0,0)
- Add ActiveMedia_MissingNamedState_FallsBackToDirect: absent named key → DirectState
- OnDraw: replace `var (file, drawMode) = ...; _ = drawMode;` with idiomatic `var (file, _) = ...`
- Add `// exposed for unit testing` comment above ActiveMedia()

cc4de3ef77 feat(D.2b): UiDatElement — generic per-drawmode element renderer
Generic fallback widget for every LayoutDesc element type without a
dedicated behavioral widget (chrome corners/edges, drag bars, resize grips).
Holds an ElementInfo + active-state name; draws that state's media by tiling
(UV-repeat on both S+T axes, matching ImgTex::TileCSI). DrawMode constants
documented per format spec §6 (Undefined=0, Normal=1, Overlay=2,
Alphablend=3 — no Stretch mode). Plan 1: all modes render as the same
alpha-blended tiled quad; per-mode branches deferred to Plan 2.

55239575e6 refactor(D.2b): ElementReader review fixes — defensive Children copy + sentinel doc
- Merge: defensive copy `new List<ElementInfo>(derived.Children)` so a
  later mutation of the merged result or the input can't corrupt the other
- Merge: add comment on Width/Height 0-sentinel (Plan-1 safe; Plan-2
  limitation and float?-upgrade path documented inline)
- Test: replace mid-sentence "Wait —" authoring trace in
  EdgeFlagsToAnchors_ValueThree_FallsBackToTopLeft with a clean
  conclusion-first summary of the value-3 mapping rule

9/9 ElementReaderTests pass; 0 build errors.

f73422a79a feat(D.2b): ElementReader — layout inheritance merge + edge-flag anchors
Implements Task 2 of the LayoutDesc Importer (Plan 1 — vitals conformance).

- ElementInfo POCO: GL-free/dat-free snapshot of a resolved layout element.
  Shape matches the plan spec exactly (Id, Type as uint, X/Y/Width/Height as
  float, raw Left/Top/Right/Bottom uint edge flags, ReadOrder, FontDid, StateMedia
  dict, Children list). Tasks 3–6 depend on this shape.

- ElementReader.ToAnchors(uint,uint,uint,uint): maps dat edge-flag values
  (0=none, 1=near-pin, 2=far-pin, 3=floating-center, 4=stretch) to AnchorEdges
  bit flags. Corrects the plan's stale assumption that value 4 was the only anchor
  trigger; the verified format doc §4 shows 1→Left/Top, 2→Right/Bottom, 4→both.
  All-zero falls back to Left|Top (default pin top-left).

- ElementReader.Merge(base_, derived): inheritance merge mirroring BaseElement/
  BaseLayoutId. Derived scalars win when non-zero; position/edge-flags/ReadOrder
  always from derived; StateMedia merged (base defaults, derived overrides);
  Children from derived only.

TDD: tests written first (9 tests covering ToAnchors near-pin/far-pin/stretch/
zero/value-3, Merge scalar override/font inheritance/StateMedia merge/children).
All 9 pass; dotnet build 0 errors 0 warnings.

67819f35a4 docs(D.2b): LayoutDesc format enumeration (importer groundwork)
Resolves all 6 open unknowns for Tasks 2–6 of the LayoutDesc importer plan:

1. Edge-anchor flags: 1=near-pin, 2=far-pin, 3=float-center, 4=stretch.
   The plan's assumption of 4="pinned to that side" is corrected — 1 is
   the near-pin, 4 is stretch (both sides). Revised ToAnchors signature given.

2. ElementDesc members: all are public FIELDS (not properties). X/Y/Width/
   Height/LeftEdge/etc. are uint. Type is uint (not enum). States is
   Dictionary<UIStateId, StateDesc>. Children is Dictionary<uint, ElementDesc>.

3. StateDesc shape: Properties is Dictionary<uint, BaseProperty> with concrete
   subclasses (ArrayBaseProperty, DataIdBaseProperty, IntegerBaseProperty, etc.).
   Font DID (0x1A) is ArrayBaseProperty[ DataIdBaseProperty{Value=0x40000000} ].
   Font color (0x1B) is ArrayBaseProperty[ ColorBaseProperty ]. Fill (0x69) is
   NOT in the dat — pushed at runtime by gmVitalsUI::Update.

4. DrawModeType enum: Undefined=0, Normal=1, Overlay=2, Alphablend=3.
   No "Stretch" value exists. Vitals uses Normal(1) and Alphablend(3) only.

5. Type values confirmed from RegisterElementClass: 3=Field/container,
   7=Meter→UiMeter, 9=Resizebar, 0xC=Text, 2=Dragbar, 12=style prototype (skip).

6. Inheritance chain: vitals text labels (Type=0) inherit from base element
   0x10000376 in layout 0x2100003F (Type=12), which carries font DID 0x40000000.
   The full per-vital sprite id tables for 0x2100006C are confirmed.

0f55599ba5 feat(D.2b): draw the window resize-grip overlay (gold ridges + corner studs)
The retail vitals window border is TWO layers, not one: the bevel chrome
(0x060074BF-C6) PLUS a resize-grip overlay on top — gold ridged edge strips
and a square corner stud at each corner. acdream only drew the bevel, so the
border looked plainer than retail and the corners lacked the little square
sprite the user spotted.

The overlay ids come from the vitals LayoutDesc 0x2100006C (elements
0x1000063B-0x10000642): corner stud 0x06006129 (same 5x5 at all four corners),
edge strips 0x0600612A/2C (top/bottom) and 0x0600612B/2D (left/right). They
have transparent gaps so the bevel shows through — both layers are drawn.
UiNineSlicePanel now draws the grip overlay (edges tiled via the existing
UV-repeat, corner studs 1:1) after the bevel, so every retail-chrome window
(vitals + chat) gets it.

Verified the grip sprites + the composited result headlessly: dump-sprite-sheet
(new CLI: composite arbitrary sprite ids magnified) showed 0x06006129 is a gold
stud and 0x0600612A-D are gold ridged strips; render-vitals-mockup now renders
the faithful default window with the overlay.

73468be02a fix(D.2b): tile the vital-bar middle instead of stretching it
Retail repeats the bar's "fill-tile" graphic at native width (verified:
the dat element 0x100000E9 is literally the fill-tile; the engine fills via
ImgTex::TileCSI; and a widened side-by-side shows retail tiling, not
stretching). acdream was stretching one copy of the middle slice across the
whole span, so the bevel/bead pattern smeared as the window widened.

UiMeter.DrawHBar now UV-repeats each slice at its NATIVE width: caps span one
native width (a single 1:1 copy), the wide middle spans many (it tiles, last
copy UV-cropped). This works because the UI textures are already GL_REPEAT-
wrapped (TextureCache.UploadRgba8) — the exact mechanism UiNineSlicePanel's
chrome border already uses, so the border edges were ALREADY tiling and need
no change. One draw call per slice; composes with the existing fill-fraction
clip (the partial last tile shows a partial bead).

render-vitals-mockup now renders a widened window twice (stretch vs tile) so
the difference is verifiable headless. Confirmed the tile repeats seamlessly
(no seams).

4e60c03a74 feat(D.2b): chat text selection + Ctrl-C copy
Windows-like selection in the retail chat window: left-click-drag selects
characters, Ctrl-C copies, Ctrl-A selects all. The selected span paints a
translucent highlight behind the text.

- UiElement.CapturesPointerDrag: a per-element opt-out so an interior drag is
  delivered to the widget (text selection) instead of moving/resizing the host
  window. UiRoot.OnMouseDown honours it AFTER edge-resize (a resizable window
  is still resizable from its frame) and BEFORE window-move.
- UiChatView: AcceptsFocus + IsEditControl + CapturesPointerDrag; caches the
  OnDraw layout so OnEvent hit-tests the same geometry; HitChar maps a local
  point to (line,col) with glyph-midpoint caret snapping; SelectedText joins a
  multi-line span with \n; Ctrl-C writes to IKeyboard.ClipboardText (only when
  non-empty, so an empty copy never clobbers the clipboard).
- UiHost exposes the wired IKeyboard (clipboard + Ctrl modifier state).

Adversarial-review fix (the 99 tests would have stayed green without it): a
coordinate-frame mismatch between MouseDown and MouseMove. UiRoot.OnMouseDown
dispatched HitTestTopDown's coords, which are relative to the TOP-LEVEL child,
while MouseMove/MouseUp use target.ScreenPosition. For the chat view inset at
(8,8) inside its window the anchor landed ~8px off the click. OnMouseDown now
delivers target-LOCAL coords like the other mouse events. Added a UiRoot
regression test asserting MouseDown and MouseMove share the target-local frame
for a nested child.

Decomp ref: SurfaceWindow text/selection model; clipboard via Silk.NET
IKeyboard.ClipboardText. Built with the chat-select-copy implement->review
workflow.

36bd3522f4 feat(D.2b): retail dat-font (Font 0x40000000) for vitals numbers
The vitals cur/max overlay rendered with the consola TTF debug font,
which is wrong for the retail look. Port the retail dat-font render
path so the numbers use Font 0x40000000 (Latin-1, 16px, with outline
atlas) — the same font retail draws on the vitals window.

UiDatFont (new): loads the Font DBObj from the DatCollection and
uploads its two RenderSurface atlases (foreground glyph pixels
0x06005EE5 + background outline 0x06005EE6) through
TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface — the same direct-RenderSurface
path the D.2b chrome sprites use. Builds a char->FontCharDesc lookup
and exposes MeasureWidth + LineHeight. The per-glyph advance
(HorizontalOffsetBefore + Width + HorizontalOffsetAfter) is a pure
static so the pen math is unit-testable without GL or the dat.

UiRenderContext.DrawStringDat (new): two-pass per-glyph blit mirroring
SurfaceWindow::DrawCharacter (acclient 0x00442bd0) — the BACKGROUND
atlas sub-rect tinted black (outline) first, then the FOREGROUND
sub-rect tinted the text color (fill), with the pen accumulating the
retail advance the way the string loop does at 0x00467ed4. Respects
the UI transform stack. Skips the outline pass for fonts with no
background atlas.

No shader change was needed: the foreground atlas decodes A8 ->
(255,255,255,a), and ui_text.frag's RGBA-sprite path already
MULTIPLIES the texel by the per-vertex tint (texture(uTex,vUv)*vColor),
so tinting white+alpha by a color gives color+alpha (black outline,
text-color fill).

UiMeter: new DatFont property; the label renders via DrawStringDat
(centered with DatFont.MeasureWidth) when set, falling back to the
debug BitmapFont when null.

GameWindow: loads one UiDatFont for the vitals panel (under _datLock)
and assigns it to each UiMeter child; logs + falls back to the debug
font if the Font fails to load (never crashes).

Tests: 6 pure-logic UiDatFontTests for GlyphAdvance + MeasureWidth
(synthetic glyphs, negative bearings, missing chars, empty/null). Full
App UI suite green (84 passed).

DatReaderWriter member names verified via reflection on the 2.1.7
package: Font.{MaxCharHeight,BaselineOffset,ForegroundSurfaceDataId,
BackgroundSurfaceDataId,CharDescs} and FontCharDesc.{Unicode,OffsetX,
OffsetY,Width,Height,HorizontalOffsetBefore,HorizontalOffsetAfter,
VerticalOffsetBefore}.

ff29787f12 fix(D.2b): vitals from the real stacked-window LayoutDesc (0x2100006C)
The vitals bars were rendered from the WRONG layout. The ids in vitals.xml
(0x0600113x) belong to LayoutDesc 0x21000014 -- the 800x28 floaty side-vitals
ROW. The stacked vitals window the user sees is LayoutDesc 0x2100006C
(160x58), which uses a different sprite set and geometry. Dumped the real
tree (new dump-vitals-layout CLI, reflective) and ported it:

- Sprites (#2): the stacked-window set 0x0600747E-0x0600748F (health/stamina/
  mana, each back+front 3-slice; caps 10px, mid 130px).
- Right cap (#1) + fill model: retail UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren draws the
  back 3-slice full then the front 3-slice CLIPPED to the fill fraction (its
  own right-cap shows at 100%, the back's shows through when partial). UiMeter
  now clips the front per-slice (UV-crop) instead of growing a capless slice.
- Spacing (#5): three flush 150x16 bars at y=5/21/37 in a 160x58 window
  (16px pitch, zero gap), per the dat rects -- not the old 20px-apart guess.
- Border (#3): the window is the 8-piece chrome frame (corners 0x060074C3-C6,
  edges 0x060074BF-C2, 5px) -- dat-confirmed identical to RetailChromeSprites.

The headless render-vitals-mockup now composites this exact window
(0x2100006C) from the real sprites with the same clipped-fill model, so the
look was verified before launch. Font (#4, dat Font 0x40000000) is the next
commit.

Decomp refs: gmVitalsUI::PostInit @0x4bfce0; UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren
@0x46fbd0 (scissor-fill); geometry from LayoutDesc 0x2100006C.

ada863980c feat(D.2b): scrollable retail chat window (read-only foundation)
Add UiChatView, a transcript widget for the retail-look UI: renders the
ChatVM tail bottom-pinned (newest at the bottom, like retail) with
mouse-wheel scrollback and whole-line vertical clipping so text stays
inside the frame. Hosted in a draggable/resizable UiNineSlicePanel and
wired into the UiHost next to the vitals window, fed by a dedicated
ChatVM (200-line tail) over the same live ChatLog. Per-ChatKind colour
palette (speech white, tells magenta, channels blue, system yellow,
emotes grey, combat orange).

This is the read-only foundation. The next sub-step adds glScissor
clipping + word-wrap, drag-to-select, and Ctrl+C copy -- the last needs
a CapturesPointerDrag opt-out on UiElement so an interior drag selects
text instead of moving the window (today an interior drag still moves
the window, same as the vitals panel).

Tests: UiChatView.ClampScroll (pin-to-bottom, cap-at-overflow,
never-negative).

1453ff7da2 feat(D.2b): retail 3-slice vital bars + headless mockup verifier
Render each vital bar as a horizontal 3-slice from the real retail
RenderSurface sprites (authoritative ids from the vitals LayoutDesc
0x21000014 via dump-vitals-bars): a fixed-width bevelled left-cap, a
stretched glassy-gradient middle, and a fixed-width right-cap. The
empty back track draws full width; the coloured front fill grows from
the left to the value (the track owns the right end, so the fill omits
its own right-cap). Replaces the flat single-sprite Alphablend overlay
that read as the old UI - this is the bordered gradient look from the
retail screenshot (red HP / gold stamina / blue mana).

UiMeter gains the six 9-slice ids (BackLeft/Tile/Right +
FrontLeft/Tile/Right) and a DrawHBar helper; MarkupDocument parses the
backleft/backtile/backright/frontleft/fronttile/frontright attrs;
vitals.xml carries the 18 per-vital ids. The temporary
ACDREAM_BAR_PROVEOUT component grid is removed.

Adds AcDream.Cli render-vitals-mockup: a headless ImageSharp composite
that assembles the bars with the SAME DrawHBar logic, so the sprite
assembly can be verified by eye (Read the PNG) without launching the
client + server - the fast UI-iteration loop the user asked for.
export-ui-sprite dumps a single RenderSurface to PNG for HTML mockups.

84630517e3 feat(D.2b): vital bars use retail dat sprites (back track + fill-cropped front)
UiMeter gains SpriteResolve/BackSpriteId/FrontSpriteId; when both are
set, OnDraw draws the empty-track sprite full-width then the colored-fill
sprite UV-cropped to the live fill fraction (left-to-right drain). Falls
back to solid rects when sprite ids are absent, keeping existing behavior
and tests intact.

MarkupDocument.Build() parses `back`/`front` hex attrs on <meter> and
passes `resolve` into every UiMeter.  vitals.xml wires the authoritative
LayoutDesc 0x21000014 sprites (Health 0x06005F3C/3D, Stamina 3E/3F,
Mana 40/41).  The bar prove-out block in GameWindow.cs was already gone.

If the sprites decode as 1x1 magenta at runtime they are paletted
(INDEX16/P8) — the solid-color fallback will display instead and can be
investigated separately.

b303baf4a1 fix(D.2b): windows not anchor-managed (regression: move/resize was reset each frame)
The anchor pass added in f911b5f runs on every element's children — including
UiRoot's children, which are the top-level WINDOWS. With the default Left|Top
anchor, ApplyAnchor reset each window's Left/Top/Width/Height back to its
captured design rect EVERY frame, so user move/resize was undone instantly ("I
can't resize or move it"). A window is user-positioned, so it must not be
anchor-managed by its parent: set UiNineSlicePanel.Anchors = None. Children
INSIDE the window still anchor to it (the bars keep stretching with width).

Regression tests: UiNineSlicePanel.Anchors == None; ApplyAnchor(None) is a no-op.

f911b5f0af feat(D.2b): anchor layout — vital bars stretch with window; drop Vitals heading
Add AnchorEdges [Flags] enum and Anchors property (default Left|Top, so
all existing elements are unchanged) to UiElement. ApplyAnchor() captures
the design-time margins on first call then recomputes Left/Top/Width/Height
each frame; DrawSelfAndChildren drives it for every child before painting.
ComputeAnchoredRect is public + static so it can be unit-tested without a
running frame loop.

MarkupDocument.Build gains a private Anchor() CSV parser and threads it
into the <meter> initializer via the anchor= attribute.

vitals.xml: remove title="Vitals" (retail vitals has no heading) and add
anchor="left,top,right" to all three meter bars so they stretch when the
panel is dragged wider.

Two new xUnit tests in UiRootInputTests: Left+Right stretches width;
Left+Top only keeps fixed size. All 19 App.Tests green.

af91b8432a feat(D.2b): per-window resize-axis lock; vitals window is X-only (retail)
Add ResizeX/ResizeY bool properties to UiElement (both true by default).
HitEdges() in UiRoot masks out locked axes after edge detection, so a
locked edge falls through to window-move behaviour — matching retail,
where the vitals bar height is fixed and only widens.

MarkupDocument.Build() parses an optional resize="x|y|both|none"
attribute on <panel>; vitals.xml gets resize="x" to enforce the
horizontal-only constraint in all instances of the panel.

Two new tests: HitEdges_RespectsResizeAxisLock (UiRootInputTests) and
Build_ResizeAttrX_SetsHorizontalOnly (MarkupDocumentTests). 11/11 green.

0500646f08 fix(D.2b): draw UI chrome behind content (TextRenderer Flush layer order)
TextRenderer.Flush batched by primitive type and flushed rects -> text ->
sprites LAST, so the 8-piece chrome (incl. the center fill) painted OVER the
vital bars + numbers ("the window is drawn in front of the bars"). Reorder to
sprites -> rects -> text so chrome composites behind widget fills + text.

Correct while bars are solid rects; when bars become gradient SPRITES this must
move to true submission/painter order (sprite-on-sprite z) — noted inline as the
D.2b follow-up.

de4f0167ef feat(D.2b): window resize (UiRoot edge-grip resize-drag mode)
Add parallel resize mode to the UiRoot retained-mode input state machine.
A left-drag starting within ResizeGrip=5px of a Resizable window's edge or
corner resizes it (min-size clamped); interior drags on a Draggable window
still reposition it.

Changes:
- UiElement: Resizable, MinWidth, MinHeight properties
- UiRoot: ResizeEdges flags enum; _resizeTarget state fields; FindWindow
  (replaces FindDraggable, matches Draggable||Resizable); HitEdges (static,
  internal, testable); ResizeRect (static, public, testable); OnMouseDown
  checks edge-grip before move; OnMouseMove resize branch precedes move;
  OnMouseUp clears _resizeTarget
- UiNineSlicePanel: Resizable = true (retail windows are resizable)
- UiRootInputTests: 4 new tests — ResizeRect_RightBottom, ResizeRect_LeftTop
  (min-clamp + origin shift), HitEdges_DetectsCornerAndInteriorNone,
  EdgeDrag_ResizesPanel_InteriorDragMoves (full integration path)

Note on test coordinate: right-edge grab uses x=298 (2px inside the panel's
hit-test boundary) rather than x=300 (exactly at edge, misses OnHitTest's
strict `<` check). This is intentional — the grip zone extends inward from
the edge boundary, so a click 2px inside correctly lands in both the
hit-test rect AND the resize-grip zone.

4acecffcd6 feat(D.2b): wire UiHost input + moveable windows (UiRoot window-drag + WantCapture gate)
- UiElement: add Draggable flag; left-drag on a draggable element repositions
  it as a floating window instead of starting a drag-drop sequence.
- UiRoot: add WantsMouse/WantsKeyboard properties (mirrors ImGui's WantCaptureMouse
  pattern); add FindDraggable helper; inject _windowDragTarget state machine into
  OnMouseDown/OnMouseMove/OnMouseUp so draggable windows track the pointer offset.
- UiNineSlicePanel: set Draggable=true so retail window frames are movable by default.
- GameWindow: OR _uiHost?.Root.WantsMouse|WantsKeyboard into the SilkMouseSource
  wantCaptureMouse/wantCaptureKeyboard delegates and the direct MouseMove gate so
  game actions (movement, world-pick) are suppressed while the pointer is over a
  retail window — no double-handling with the InputDispatcher.
- GameWindow: wire all Silk Mice/Keyboards to UiHost after construction so the
  UiRoot tree receives live input.
- Tests: 3 new UiRootInputTests covering WantsMouse hit-test, window-drag
  reposition, and non-draggable panel immobility.

Roadmap: D.2b (custom retail-look backend) and D.4 (dat sprites + 9-slice +
DrawSprite) both shipped this session via the Spec-1 work — the UiHost-based
markup engine (MarkupDocument + ControlsIni + IUiRegistry) rendering a
markup-driven retail Vitals panel (8-piece dat chrome + red/gold/blue bars).
Records the direct-RenderSurface decode finding + the confirmed chrome sprite
ids. Remaining D.2b polish (gradient bar sprite, AcFont/D.3, input integration,
LayoutDesc importer, D.5 panels) noted inline.

Full suite green (2413 passed / 0 failed / 3 pre-existing skips).

019350fa31 feat(D.2b): IUiRegistry plugin UI surface + buffered drain into UiHost
Adds the plugin-facing UI registration surface (Task 9, final D.2b task).
Plugins call host.Ui.AddMarkupPanel(path, binding) from Enable(); calls are
buffered in BufferedUiRegistry before the GL window opens, then drained into
UiHost.Root in GameWindow.OnLoad inside the RetailUi block after the first-
party vitals panel. Faulty plugin markup is isolated (try/catch per panel,
logged + skipped). IPluginHost.Ui added; AppPluginHost wired; StubHost in
Core.Tests updated; BufferedUiRegistryTests confirms drain-once semantics.

07bf6cbf60 feat(D.2b): MarkupDocument (XML -> UiElement tree); vitals panel from vitals.xml
Implements Task 8 of the D.2b retail-UI plan. MarkupDocument.Build() parses
KSML-style panel markup into a live UiNineSlicePanel subtree, resolving
{Binding} attribute expressions against a supplied object via reflection.
Color format is #AARRGGBB (alpha-first, matching controls.ini). Handles
<panel> root (geometry + optional title label) and <meter> children (fill,
label, bar color). Future element kinds (label, button, image) extend the
switch without touching existing code.

vitals.xml encodes the just-approved vitals panel layout (health red #FFC70D0D,
stamina gold #FFD49E1F, mana blue #FF1F33D9); ships next to the binary via
PreserveNewest csproj rule. GameWindow.cs drops the 35-line hand-built panel
block in favour of a 4-line File.ReadAllText + MarkupDocument.Build call —
identical tree, identical render, now data-driven.

2 new tests (Build_CreatesPanelWithMeterFillLabelAndGeometry,
Build_NullBindingValuesYieldNullFillAndLabel) + 11 total targeted green.

97bd1d2f09 feat(D.2b): controls.ini stylesheet loader + apply title color
Adds ControlsIni — a minimal flat-INI reader for retail's controls.ini
(#AARRGGBB alpha-first color tokens; case-insensitive section/key lookup;
missing file returns an empty sheet with no throw). Wires the [title]
color token into the vitals panel's UiLabel in GameWindow.OnLoad, with
hardcoded white as the fallback. Visually a no-op (retail's [title] color
is white), but proves the stylesheet plumbing end-to-end (D.2b §7).
Three unit tests cover section parsing, #AARRGGBB decode, and graceful
missing-file handling.

b18403da02 feat(D.2b): wire UiHost + live retail Vitals panel (render-only); retire TS-30
Wires the dormant AcDream.App/UI retained-mode tree into GameWindow under
ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1: an 8-piece dat-sprite UiNineSlicePanel framing three
UiMeter vital bars bound to the existing VitalsVM. Render-only (UiHost input not
yet bridged to the InputDispatcher — next sub-phase). Coexists with the ImGui
devtools path; no regression there.

Visually verified against a live retail client: the bars match retail's vitals
structure (three stacked horizontal bars, current/max numbers centered) — so the
earlier "orbs" assumption was wrong (retail vitals ARE bars), and stamina is GOLD
not cyan (the #10F0F0 research note was wrong). UiMeter gains a centered numeric
Label (stub debug font for now). Spec §8 + the markup example corrected to match.

Bookkeeping: retired divergence row TS-30 (flat-rect panels -> real dat chrome)
and added IA-15 (our UiHost/markup engine vs keystone.dll's LayoutDesc tree).

Remaining polish (filed, §15): glassy gradient bar fill sprite + the retail dat
font for the numbers.

8e91805206 feat(D.2b): Step-0 chrome sprites confirmed + direct-RenderSurface upload path
Step-0 prove-out result: retail UI chrome sprites are RenderSurface objects
(0x06xxxxxx) that must be decoded DIRECTLY, not via the Surface->SurfaceTexture
chain GetOrUpload uses for world materials (which produced 1x1 magenta/garbage).
Added TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface(id, out w, out h) — Portal/HighRes
TryGet<RenderSurface> -> DecodeRenderSurface(palette:null) -> upload, separately
cached. This is the path UI chrome + (later) dat fonts use.

Confirmed the universal floating-window bevel is an 8-piece border + center fill:
  center  0x06004CC2 (48x48)
  edges   0x060074BF/C1 (10x5 horiz)  0x060074C0/C2 (5x10 vert)
  corners 0x060074C3..C6 (5x5)
Recorded in RetailChromeSprites.cs (edge/corner->position mapping is a best
guess pending the LayoutDesc 0x21000040 parse; visually confirmed at panel
render). The memory-note ids were right; only the decode path was wrong.

Temporary prove-out harness (added to GameWindow.OnRender) removed. proveout*.log
gitignored.

66888d2c8e fix(textures): DecodeSolidColor null-safe against null ColorValue
A Base1Solid (or OrigTextureId==0) Surface can carry a null ColorValue;
DecodeSolidColor dereferenced it (color.Alpha) and threw NullReferenceException.
It is called directly from TextureCache.DecodeFromDats, OUTSIDE
DecodeRenderSurface's try/catch, so the NRE crashed the whole client. Surfaced
by the D.2b chrome prove-out feeding UI surface ids. Guard null -> Magenta
(the decoder's existing "undecodable" sentinel). Test added.

c9eef1d7cd feat(D.2b): textured-sprite path in TextRenderer + UV-rect DrawSprite
Add uUseTexture==2 (RGBA modulate) branch to ui_text.frag so dat sprites
can be drawn through the existing 2D batcher without touching the font path.

TextRenderer gains _spriteBufs (per-GL-handle List<float>), DrawSprite(), and
a Flush block that issues one draw call per distinct texture with uUseTexture=2.
Also adds DepthMask(false) in the state-save block (restored to true after) to
prevent the transparent-quad pass from writing depth and corrupting the 3D scene
if the UI is flushed mid-frame.

TextureCache gains GetOrUpload(surfaceId, out width, out height) — caches pixel
dimensions alongside the GL handle so UI 9-slice geometry can compute slice UVs
from the source image size without a second decode.

UiRenderContext gains a DrawSprite forwarder that applies the current 2D
translate stack, matching the DrawRect / DrawRectOutline pattern.

d50023f6d9 docs(D.2b): re-ground spec onto existing AcDream.App/UI scaffold
A direct read of src/AcDream.App/UI/ found a complete (dormant) retained-mode
toolkit the grounding workflow missed: UiRoot (input routing, focus, capture,
drag-drop, tooltip, click detection, world fall-through), UiElement,
UiPanel/UiLabel/UiButton, UiHost (Tick/Draw + WireMouse/WireKeyboard),
UiRenderContext, retail-faithful UiEvent codes. It's never wired into GameWindow,
and UiPanel.cs is the exact file divergence row TS-30 cites.

So the retail UI is this existing UiRoot tree — NOT an IPanelHost/IPanelRenderer
backend. Rewrote the architecture sections: Spec 1 now WIRES the dormant UiHost
and adds only the gaps (DrawSprite + frag uUseTexture=2, UiNineSlicePanel,
UiMeter, MarkupDocument that builds a UiElement subtree, ControlsIni). Input
machinery already exists in UiRoot; deferring it is now about integrating two
input consumers, not a missing contract. Plugin contract becomes a UiElement/
markup subtree added to UiRoot (IUiRegistry on IPluginHost), not IPanel.

Net: strictly less new code, more faithful, retires TS-30 by subclassing the
file it cites. Added §0 documenting the correction + the process lesson
(subsystem-discovery must glob by directory, not by the parent's framing).

de9229eed5 docs(D.2b): design spec — retail panel frame + live Vitals (Approach C)
Brainstormed design for the D.2b retail-look UI backend: our own KSML-style
markup + controls.ini stylesheet + retained-mode toolkit on Silk.NET (no
embedded browser, zero external deps — Approach C, chosen over Ultralight/CEF
and RmlUi for memory/dep-weight/faithfulness).

Spec 1 scope: an 8-piece dat-sprite window frame + live Vitals bars bound to
the existing VitalsVM, gated behind ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1, rendered via a reused
TextRenderer batch. Render-only (input/hit-test, AcFont glyphs, anchor solver,
LayoutDesc importer all deferred).

Grounded by a read-only research workflow (7 readers + gap-critic). The critic
corrected several stale memory/plan-doc facts now baked into the spec's
do-not-trust list: VitalsVM is a sealed class (not the old record); chrome
sprite IDs are unverified (Step-0 dat prove-out resolves them empirically);
controls.ini exists and #FFDBD6A8 is editbox text not a bg; DatCollection reads
are thread-safe; KSML is rich-text not the layout language (we mirror
ElementDesc).

Phase D.2b / Milestone M5 (parallelizable with M3/M4 — opened as a parallel
track while M1.5 stays the active critical-path milestone). Retires divergence
row TS-30 + adds one IA row when the chrome ships.

Also gitignores the /.superpowers/ visual-companion scratch dir.

c007f5a962 CLAUDE.md: adopt the condensed structure, updated to current truth (-503/+176)
Reconciles the wip/main-local-claudemd-condensation distillation (made
~2026-06-03 by a parallel session) onto post-merge main:

- Current state section: ONE status block (<=5 lines + pointers, by
  rule) + canonical reading order + the two digest entry points + the
  divergence register; replaces status sediment scattered through
  Goal/Roadmap sections.
- Kept from the merged main (the condensation predated them): the
  memory/digest rule in How to operate, the divergence-register
  section + phase-checklist item, de-dated milestone rules.
- Dropped: shipped-phase ship-notes, stale next-phase candidate lists,
  the superseded reference_render_pipeline_state pointer.
- Also salvaged from the wip branch: .gitignore entries (.obsidian/,
  claude-memory junction) + pdb_extract.py __main__ guard. The wip's
  TextureDump edit predates main's args support (discarded) and its
  physics-probe edits were STRIP-marked leftovers (discarded).

Erik
be03146e30 #112 ROOT CAUSE: outdoor-seed pick lacked retail's growing-array walk - threshold tick-skip became absorbing
The instrumented capture (cottage-112-capture1.log) + dat replay pinned
the transparent-cottage mechanism end to end:

1. The A9B3 cottage's entry cell 0x104 is a 0.22 m-wide THRESHOLD band
   (x 184.68->184.46 at y~82). A running player (~13-16 cm/tick at
   30 Hz) can cross it BETWEEN two physics ticks - the tick where the
   centre is inside 0x104 never happens.
2. Our outdoor-seed branch ran CheckBuildingTransit over a landcell
   snapshot and STOPPED - building-admitted entry cells were never
   expanded. The tick after the skip (centre in 0x100, a deep room not
   building-portal-adjacent) found no containing candidate -> the pick
   kept the outdoor landcell FOREVER (absorbing): the user walked the
   whole interior classified outdoor (render faithfully drew an outdoor
   frame = transparent walls), promoting only on touching
   portal-adjacent 0x102's own volume minutes later (captured:
   0xA9B3003C -> 0xA9B30102 with no transitions in between).
3. Retail cannot strand: CObjCell::find_cell_list (0x0052b4e0) runs ONE
   growing-array walk for EVERY seed (0052b576-0052b5ab,
   cells[i]->find_transit_cells vtable dispatch over the GROWING array)
   - the landcell's building bridge admits 0x104 (the foot sphere still
   overlaps the band one tick after the skip) and the walk expands
   0x104's portals to 0x100 where containment wins. Recovery fires one
   tick after any skip.

Fix: BuildCellSetAndPickContaining now runs retail's single growing
walk for both seeds with per-cell-type dispatch (landcells ->
CLandCell::find_transit_cells 0x00533800 -> CSortCell 0x00534060 ->
check_building_transit 0x0052c5d0; envcells -> FindTransitCellsSphere
with the straddle gate + once-per-walk outside add). The old indoor
branch behavior is preserved (seed at index 0, hysteresis, straddle-
gated outdoor pick); the outdoor branch gains the expansion + the
indoor branch gains the retail landcell bridge dispatch for
straddle-admitted landcells.

Pins (dat-backed, Issue112MembershipTests): tick-skip recovery one tick
past the threshold (RED pre-fix); run-speed entry replay across tick
phases never strands outdoor; threshold-gap outdoor-seed keeps outdoor
(over-fix guard); entry-walk replay diagnostic prints the full
promotion chain (0x3C -> 0x104 -> 0x100 -> 0x103 -> 0x100 -> 0x102).

6a9b529113 #119: entity bounds from dat vertex data - works for every case, not just multi-part
The 1ca412d part-offset expansion fixed the staircase but still rested
on the 5 m promise one level down: a SINGLE part whose mesh extends
more than 5 m from its own origin (offset 0 -> box +-5 m) keeps the
gaze-dependent vanish. Per the user's mandate ("it must work for every
case"), the bound now derives from the dat VERTEX data - the same
vertices that get drawn - so no synthetic containment promise remains.

Oracle context (read this session): retail has NO whole-entity
visibility volume - CPhysicsPart::Draw (0x0050d7a0) viewcone-checks
each part's dat-authored CGfxObj.drawing_sphere at the part's own
world position (RenderDeviceD3D::DrawMesh 0x005a0860). Retail's bound
IS data; ours was a promise. Our per-ENTITY granularity stays (a
deliberate batching-era choice, WB-owned per the inventory) but the
volume is now data-derived and conservative: visually identical by
construction, never culls what retail would draw.

- GfxObjBounds: per-GfxObj vertex AABB, cached by id (parts repeat
  heavily); LocalBoundsAccumulator: union of part-transformed AABB
  corners (conservative-correct under any affine transform).
- WorldEntity.SetLocalBounds + RefreshAabb preferred path: rotate the
  root-local bounds' 8 corners into world axes + DefaultAabbRadius
  margin (absorbs animated-pose drift vs the rest-pose bounds; keeps
  small objects at their historical box size). Offset heuristic stays
  as the fallback for boundless fixtures.
- All four hydration sites wired (outdoor stabs, scenery incl. baked
  scale, interior cell statics, server live spawns).

Tests: tall-single-part coverage (the case 1ca412d could not see),
rotation-following, accumulator union. Suites: App 246+1skip / Core
1434+2skip / UI 420 / Net 294.

1ca412d07b #119: entity bounds must cover the parts - the gaze-dependent staircase vanish
User re-gate after 2163308/987313a: run-from-town stairs FIXED, barrel
GONE - but the stairs still vanish by VIEWING ANGLE (visible climbing
down, gone climbing up; same at the tower top). The gate3 probe data
exonerates everything downstream: the entity always draws with correct
batches when it reaches the dispatcher (cache hit:119, restZ correct,
zero WALK-REJECTs, never clip-culled) - so the vanish lives in the one
gaze-dependent gate the probe cannot see: the bounds-based cullers.

WorldEntity.RefreshAabb was a fixed +-5 m box around the entity ANCHOR.
The staircase's 43 parts spiral 15 m ABOVE the anchor, and BOTH
visibility gates derive from the box: the dispatcher's per-entity
frustum cull AND RetailPViewRenderer.EntitySphere (the viewcone sphere
= this box's bounding sphere). Looking up the spiral put the anchor's
neighborhood out of view -> the whole entity culled while 15 m of it
stood in front of the camera; looking down kept the anchor in view ->
visible. Exactly the reported asymmetry.

Fix: expand the box by the largest MeshRef part-translation magnitude
(rotation-invariant, so entity.Rotation needs no handling; identity-
part entities get offset 0 - behavior unchanged; scenery scale is
already baked into the part transforms).

987313aa54 knife-edge port: polyClipFinish W=0 eye-plane clip + degenerate-view propagation; EyeInsidePortalOpening rescue DELETED
Ports retail ACRender::polyClipFinish (0x006b6d00, pc:702749) near-eye
semantics into PortalProjection.ProjectToClip - the fundamental fix for
the in-plane portal clip family (climb strobes, tower-top roof/floor
flap while turning; live-corroborated this session: [viewer-diff]
0xAAB30108 strobing 27x mid-climb, whole interior dropping at the top).
Pseudocode: docs/research/2026-06-11-polyclipfinish-w0-clip-pseudocode.md.

Three legs, all decomp-driven:

1. ProjectToClip clips at w >= 0 EXACTLY (was EyePlaneW=1e-4), with
   retail's any-negative-w gate. Boundary intersections land at w == 0
   (homogeneous directions), so a portal the eye is CROSSING yields the
   correct unbounded half-region that the bounded view-region clip cuts
   to the screen. A w=0 vertex cannot survive a bounded region clip
   into the divide (direction fails some edge of any bounded convex
   region); the measure-zero corner case is guarded non-finite->empty.

2. CellView.CanonicalKey keys ALL-COLLINEAR (zero-area) views as their
   snapped segment ("L:" + extremes) instead of rejecting them - retail
   PROPAGATES degenerate views (ClipPortals decomp:433651-433711
   forwards any count!=0 GetClip output, no area gate anywhere), keeping
   the cell behind an exactly-in-plane portal in the draw list (cells
   draw whole; onward floods die naturally). Rejection dropped the
   whole chain for the frame - the parked-eye knife-edge band. Finite
   key space unchanged -> dedup + strict-growth convergence intact.

3. The EyeInsidePortalOpening rescue is DELETED (the T2-documented
   compensation for the 1e-4 divergence) along with EyeStandingPerpDist
   + PointInPoly2D. Empty clip = no flood, period (retail's rule).
   CornerFloodReplay - the gate that REFUTED the previous deletion
   attempt - passes WITHOUT the rescue under the W=0 port.

Harness criterion corrected to retail's rules (it codified the rescue):
cells fully BEHIND the camera are not required (all-behind portals clip
empty in retail); monotone area holds per root regime; the two
manufactured exact-on-plane steps assert root-only (boundary root pick
is ambiguous; the in-plane portal there is ~perpendicular to the gaze =
genuinely off-screen). Build_CollapsedInteriorPortalNearEye test
inverted to pin the retail empty-clip rule (it pinned the rescue).

New pins: eye-crossing portal -> w==0 boundary verts + half-region (not
sliver); gaze-along-plane degenerate view accepted + segment-key dedup;
non-finite guard. Replay harnesses (CornerFloodReplay, Issue120,
TowerAscent, HouseExit, Issue127) all green.
