Item 2: retail's portal-space "In Portal Space..." notice is the SpewBox
(ECM_UI::SendNotice_DisplayStringInfo(0x1A,...) -> AddTextToScroll(str,
0x1A, 1, 0), hardcoded to the SpewBox per the decomp), not a dedicated
centered overlay. PortalWaitNoticeController and its lease are deleted;
PortalTunnelPresentation's per-rotation-segment cadence now writes
straight into RuntimeCommunicationState.AddText(ClientLocal) -- the
SpewBox's own dedupe-at-index-0 handles the repetition exactly as
retail's does. Register row AP-184 records the surface fix and the AP-178
scope extension.
Items 4+5: /help text was partially fabricated -- the user caught the
"/help death" meta-message. Generalized
tools/pdb-extract/sweep_weenie_strings.py to decode narrow
PStringBase<char> literals (the ClientCommunicationSystem::Help* family's
shape) alongside its original UTF-16LE support, then swept every
HelpXxxGroup function's exact byte extent against the PDB-paired
acclient.exe. 4 of 7 group topics (death/status/text/allegiances) are now
complete verbatim listings; the other 3 (channels/chatting/commands) keep
an honest UNVERIFIED note citing HelpStupidChannelHack @0x0056f290 (a
genuinely undecodable BN-mislabeled-fragment mechanism) instead of the
old fabricated sentinel. 7 of ~35 channel one-liners are also now
verbatim. ISSUES.md #364 tracks the remainder;
RetailCommandHelpTableTests.cs pins every result byte-exact.
Item 1: jump-in-air refusal still silent live is NOT reproduced and NOT
speculatively fixed. Exhaustive static re-audit found the mechanism
correct by construction (single-writer OnWalkable, exactly-once-per-frame
Update()/Capture(), no interfering edge-history resets). A live headless
repro (new jump-probe bot policy, real ACE connect) was blocked --
probeaccount2 has no character, and the graphical client already owned
testaccount this session so the task's own fallback rule forbade using
it. Two temporary probes are left behind ACDREAM_PROBE_JUMP=1 (blocked
entirely in Headless by the existing multi-session static-state guard --
graphical-only for the next round).
Item 3 confirmed fixed, no regression. Item 6 (resize: no diagonal
cursors, cannot grow Y from bottom-right) folded into CH6a's existing
scope.
Full Release suite: 12,267 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (up from

Wrong-LayoutDesc root cause (0x21000006 vs retail 0x2100006F), resident

The user tested Campaign CH's CODE-COMPLETE build live and reported ten
defects (docs/plans/2026-08-09-chat-parity-campaign.md, "User gate —
round 1"). Items A-G are fixed here; the remaining three (extra chat
windows on 1/2/3/4, resize working in only one corner, transparency/
artifacts) are out of scope for a fix and filed as slice CH6.
A. Jump-in-air refusal never fired live: the jump block only ever
evaluated input.Jump inside the grounded-charge or already-charging
branches. PlayerMovementController now detects the press RISING EDGE
while airborne and reports WeenieError.NotGrounded once per press,
leaving the grounded charge/fire path untouched.
B. ChatVM's invented "[System] " prefix is dropped — retail prints
system text bare. [Popup] is unchanged (AP-175).
C. SpewBoxController's color is now the user-pinned exact value
(1, 1, 0.247, 1), the same bright yellow as an incoming Tell.
Register row AP-178 updated: color CLOSES, size/position/font stay
open per the user's live report that they still differ.
D. Closes#329: PortalTunnelPresentation now emits the portal wait cue
unconditionally on every rotation-segment boundary, matching
gmSmartBoxUI::UseTime's decompiled else-arm exactly instead of gating
on a 5-second hold local transits never reached. PortalWaitNotice
Controller now renders it in the same pinned yellow as item C.
Register row AP-150 retired.
E. Closes#362: new ClientCommandResponses.cs parses and renders the
four previously-unhandled inbound GameEvents (ChannelIndex,
ChannelList, AvailableHouses, AllegianceInfoResponse), each ported
line-for-line from the named-retail decomp's inbound handlers.
Register row TS-70 retired.
F. ChatWindowController.WrapText now splits on embedded '\n'/'\r\n'
first, then word-wraps each segment independently — server text like
/help's reply no longer collapses onto one line.
G. The chat input field's right edge no longer holds a fixed absolute
pixel position across a window resize; Bind now upgrades it to
retail edge-mode 1 (UiLayoutPolicy) or the AnchorEdges.Right stretch
fallback so it tracks the window's client width instead of
overflowing past a narrower resize.
Full Release suite: 12,247 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,221/4/0 + 26 new tests across items A, E, F, G).

CH5: flip the campaign plan's status header from ACTIVE to CODE-COMPLETE,
correct the CH4 ledger row's suite count to its final 12,221 (was showing
the pre-review-fix 12,190) and fill in the CH5 row, and add a closeout
paragraph for the previously-undocumented 5d247d55 re-review round.
Register sweep found one drift: the TS section header claimed 42 active
rows against an actual recount of 40 (TS-66 is retired/struck-through and
was miscounted as active) — corrected. AP/AD/IA/UN section counts,
AP-175..183, AP-176 retirement, and UN-9's deletion all verified
consistent, no other changes. Cross-referenced issues #359-#363 to the
campaign doc. Extended CLAUDE.md's Current-state Campaign-status sentence
to record Campaign CH's CODE-COMPLETE status and carried tail. Added a
Campaign CH entry (plus a missing Campaign A entry) to the roadmap's
shipped-campaign summary block, matching the Campaign V/N/P paragraph
format.

Should-fix 1: RetailDialogFactory.CloseDialog's queued branch removed the
active DialogInfo, ran DialogDone (whose callback can synchronously open a
new dialog under the SAME queue key — the two-stage house-abandon
confirmation does exactly this), then called OpenNextDialog, which did an
unconditional Dictionary.Add on a key the reentrant dialog had already
re-occupied. Retail's HashTable::add tolerates the duplicate; Dictionary
throws. OpenNextDialog now returns early when the queue key is already
active — the reentrant dialog's own eventual close drains the queue.
Should-fix 2: @join/@leave wrote the local RuntimeCharacterOptionsState bit
before sending, but the Settings Chat toggles reached a second binding
(SendSingleCharacterOption) that only sent the wire message, leaving the
Turbine membership gate stale until the next PlayerDescription.
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory.CreateCommandBindings now has one shared local
function for both entrances.
Should-fix 3: corrected TS-68/#360 wording again — retail's DoAllegiance
dispatcher table EXECUTES boot/ban/officer/title/motd/name/lock/house/
chat/broadcast locally through their own handlers; acdream shows the
unrecognized-subcommand refusal for all nine pending the #360 port. What
matches retail is the ownership rule (the verb never reaches
DoChannelCommand/the server), not the subcommand behavior itself. Removed
the inaccurate "matching retail, not merely harmless" / "now matches
this" claims from both the register row and the issue.
Nits: corrected the HouseAbandonDialogCallback_First citation (0x00580E1A
is DoHouse's load site for the callback pointer, not the function entry —
the entry is 0x00580240, with the stage-2 confirmation string built at
0x005802D8) in both ClientCommandController.cs and the mirrored test
comment; added an InlineData case pinning "@clist allegiance" to
RequestChannelList(0x02000000); converted RetailClientCommandCatalog.
KnownVerbs from a plain array to a FrozenSet<string> with
StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase, matching the file's other lookup tables.
Suite: 12,221 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (Release), up from CH4's
12,216/4/0 — net +5 tests, no removals.

Blocker 1: an unrecognized "@allegiance <sub>" subcommand escaped
TryMatchAllegiance (which only claimed "info"/"hometown") and fell through
the unregistered-tag channel fallback, broadcasting the raw subcommand
text to the Allegiance chat channel (0x02000000). Retail's own
DoAllegiance never reaches DoChannelCommand for an unrecognized
subcommand — it claims the whole verb and prints its own client-local
refusal. TryMatchAllegiance now claims "allegiance"/"all" unconditionally
and shows retail's "Please see @help Allegiance..." text; ChatCommandRouter
also gained a blanket RetailClientCommandCatalog.KnownVerbs ownership
guard in TryDispatchChannelFallback as defense in depth.
Blocker 2: "@house abandon" sent 0x021F immediately with no confirmation.
Retail runs a real two-stage dialog before Event_AbandonHouse(); ported
both verbatim strings and chained two ShowConfirmation calls.
Should-fixes: a bare unregistered tag with no text now passes through
silently instead of showing a refusal that belongs to a different retail
function; @join/@leave update RuntimeCharacterOptionsState locally (new
SetOptionBit) before the wire push so the Turbine membership gate stops
refusing a just-joined room; @permit accepts multi-word names; @clist/
@on/@off validate shape only and raise WeenieError 0x422 for an unknown
tag; @mr/@pr help text is now the verbatim retail strings; corrected
issue #360, register row TS-68, the campaign doc's B.7 note, and a stale
RetailChannelTagTable comment; filed issue #363 + register row AP-183 for
the deferred error-typing debt.
Nits: fixed TryMatchHouse's stale doc comment, the AP-182/@title "stores
the value" comments (the binding is a no-op), IsUnregisteredFallbackTag's
olthoi false-positive, added /g and /rp binding-level conformance pins,
made @index ignore extra arguments, and noted the six removed invented
verbs in ISSUES.md.
Suite: 12,216 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (Release), up from CH4's
12,190/4/0 — net +26 tests, no removals.

Brings acdream's / and @ command parsing to parity with the complete
retail registry (130 registered verbs + 22 unregistered GetChannelID
fallback tags = 152 client-parsed verbs), per
docs/research/2026-08-09-chat-retail-command-registry.md.
Parser semantics (retail OnChatCommand/DoCommand):
- : and ; rewrite to "@emote <rest>" before dispatch.
- Verb trailing-comma trim ("@f, hi" == "@f hi") applied at every
verb-lookup site in the catalog and the parser.
- @tell/aliases split the target on the FIRST COMMA, not the first
whitespace token, so multi-word names work ("@tell Aunt Agatha, hi").
- The 22 unregistered GM/faction channel tags (admin, sentinel,
celestialhand, ...) now broadcast for real via a new
RetailChannelTagTable + SendRawChannelCmd bypass, reusing the existing
BuildChatChannel wire builder.
Binding corrections:
- /g, /group, /party -> Fellowship (0x800), not General.
- /rp -> reply alias (retail's own help text confirms "@r or @rp"), not
Roleplay; /role (an acdream invention) deleted.
- /allegiance, /all -> the allegiance management command
(RetailClientCommandCatalog), not a channel verb.
- /house no longer swallows unrecognized subcommands with a local usage
error; they now correctly fall through to ACE.
- @mr/@pr pinned as permanently non-executable (retail registers them
with a null function pointer).
New verbs with real local execution: endurance, speaker, title (silent,
AP-182), chat, notell, join, leave, permit, hslist, index, clist, on,
off, alh/ah (+ "@allegiance hometown"/"ho"), "@allegiance info",
"@house abandon"; a missing-alias sweep across pkl/hou/message_types/
msgtypes/msg_types/rt/send/whisper/w/vassal/covassal/co-vassals/c/
fellows/group/party/guild/gu/cg/ct/clfg/crp/soc/o; the non-retail
inventions gen/cv/lookingforgroup/tr/role/h are deleted. New Core.Net
wire builders (IndexChannels, ListChannels, AddChannel, RemoveChannel,
RecallAllegianceHometown, AllegianceInfoRequest, ListAvailableHouses,
AddPlayerPermission, RemovePlayerPermission, AbandonHouse) are all
parameterless or single-field payloads cross-checked against ACE's
GameAction readers, not guessed.
Deferred (filed as #360/#361/#362, register rows TS-68/TS-69/TS-70):
the ~22 remaining allegiance/house subcommands + standalone @motd
(largest single item, needs its own slice per the doc), the three
still-inert pure-local commands (day/log/render), and the inbound
GameEvent responses for the new outbound requests. All correctly fall
through to ACE server-passthrough rather than being silently swallowed
or faking success.
RetailCommandRegistryConformanceTests pins the complete 152-verb
registry against production: every verb resolves through exactly one
production surface if Implemented, through none if HelpOnly/
ServerPassthrough, and two reverse-direction tests fail the build if
RetailClientCommandCatalog or ChatInputParser ever claims a verb
outside this registry again. Final tally: 138 Implemented / 5
ServerPassthrough / 9 HelpOnly = 152.
Release suite: 12,190 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (up from CH3's
11,964/4/0).

Applies the Opus review of Campaign CH slice CH3 (614a1e05):
- B1: UN-9 was a phantom divergence — ACE's CharacterOptions1.cs:47
OR-sum is 0x50C4A54A (its own comment confirms 1355064650), identical
to acdream's literal. The wrong 0x50C48D4A existed only in the research
doc. Row deleted, register §5 reverted to 4 rows, research doc corrected
with dated notes.
- S1/S4: AllegianceBroadcast (0x02000000) is a server-echoing channel —
ACE's GameActionChatChannel handler includes the sender in its real-name
Allegiance.Members broadcast (retail's DoAllegianceBroadcast has no
AddTextToScroll), so the client must skip its local optimistic echo, not
keep it. ChatChannelInfo.Legacy.IsSelfEchoChannel() now returns true for
it; RouteLegacyChannel's comment corrected; Turbine.IsSelfEchoChannel()'s
backwards comment rewritten truthfully.
- S3: retail's /a stays on the legacy AllegianceBroadcast bitflag until
StartupTurbineChatSystem successfully starts Turbine chat — "never
started" (TurbineChatState.Enabled == false) now falls back to legacy in
both LiveSessionCommandRouter.RouteChat and
DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter.TrySendChannel, while "enabled but no
allegiance room" still correctly refuses locally.
- S5: added a LiveSessionEventRouter test proving the Options.Replace ->
OnCharacterOptionsChanged seeding order, and RuntimeSettingsTargets /
GameWindowLiveSessionOwnershipTests tests proving the concrete
ICommandBus.Publish wiring and the single LiveSessionCommandSurface
construction site.
- S6: AP-181 rewritten to name both of retail's omitted pre-send checks
(IsMessageSafe silent-drop, then IsMessageSpam) and stop misattributing
either to RouteLegacyChannel, which has no such gates.
- N1-N7: CharacterOptionId moved below SocialActions so its doc comment
re-attaches; TurbineChatMembershipGate reuses TurbineChatDisplayNames
instead of a duplicate table; the gate-to-refusal-text mapping is now
shared via TurbineChatMembershipGate.ResolveRefusalText instead of
duplicated in both hosts; ChatSettings.Default now matches ACE's real
CharacterOptions2.Default (Roleplay/Society start off); a doc-comment
clarifies only the five Hear toggles are server-backed; the register's
§3 header recounted 129 -> 128.
Suite: 11,964 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline 11,957/4/0 + 7 new

Ports retail's SendTurbineChat (@0x0057db10) local pre-send membership gate
so Roleplay/Society/Olthoi stop silently swallowing outbound chat: a new
TurbineChatMembershipGate checks Turbine availability and the player's own
Hear*Chat option before sending, raising "Turbine chat is not available."
or the 0x0551 YouAreNotListeningTo_Channel refusal through the CH2 AddText
chokepoint instead. Wired into both the graphical (LiveSessionCommandRouter)
and headless (DirectGameRuntimeCommandAdapter) send paths so they can't
diverge. Retracts the 26-day-old false "ACE doesn't run a TurbineChat
server" claim from ISSUES.md, the roadmap, and project_chat_pipeline.md —
ACE's TurbineChat implementation is complete and on by default; the real
bug was treating Hear*Chat as a display filter instead of room membership.
Also: implements SetSingleCharacterOption (0x0005), the only wire message
that actually joins/leaves a Turbine room, and wires the five Settings Chat
toggles to it (publish on Save, changed bits only) plus seeds ChatSettings
from the server's own CharacterOptions2 on every PlayerDescription. Fixes
the legacy-channel double-print (Fellow/Vassals/Patron/Monarch/CoVassals
skip the local echo now that ChatChannelInfo.IsSelfEchoChannel is finally
consulted). Routes /a to Turbine unconditionally (retail's @a never falls
back to the legacy bitflag) and adds /ab for the legacy AllegianceBroadcast
verb retail actually has. Surfaces a nonzero TurbineChat ack HResult instead
of discarding it silently. Deletes the malformed, callerless SetCharacterOptions
(0x01A1) and AddChannel/RemoveChannel (0x0145/0x0146) builders.
Files every AC-specific algorithm change cites the named retail decomp
(SendTurbineChat 0x0057db10, StartupTurbineChatSystem 0x0057EFB0,
GameActionSetSingleCharacterOption) plus ACE/holtburger cross-checks.
Register rows AP-181 (no client-side spam throttle) and UN-9 (an
incidentally-discovered CharacterOptions1.Default literal mismatch, not
investigated further) filed per the divergence-register rule.
11,957 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (full Release suite, up from the

Applies the seven NITs from the CH2 re-review (verdict APPROVE-WITH-FIXES,
following the REJECT->rework at e0e78883):
1. SpewBoxController's centered Left was captured once via
AnchorEdges.Top and replayed forever on resize (UiElement.ApplyAnchor's
Left/Right-both-false branch pins a fixed margin). Anchors is now
AnchorEdges.None and Tick recomputes Left every frame against the
current root width.
2. OneLine=false was defaulting to UiText's bottom-pinned transcript flow
(VerticalJustify honored only via ConfigureDatState, which this
synthesized element never calls). Added UiText.HonorVerticalJustification
so a non-DAT controller can opt the scrollable path into
VerticalJustify without a full LayoutDesc binding; SpewBoxController
sets VerticalJustify=Top so lines flow from the top of the 450x72 box,
matching newest-at-top insert semantics. Noted as invented-pending-
measurement in AP-178's row (no new row).
3. Documented the deliberate inversion of UiText.LinesProvider's
oldest-first contract in SpewBoxController.Tick (SpewBoxVM.Lines feeds
newest-first, which is correct specifically because the box is now
top-aligned) and added a test pinning the rendered order (newer message
is the topmost line), driving root.Tick.
4. Fixed the stale "retail's code default, 1" comment in
SpewBoxControllerTests — MaxConcurrentItems is the shipped LayoutDesc's
AUTHORED value, 4.
5. Added the matching unmapped-id diagnostics line to
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's ShowWeenieError sink, matching the pattern
GameEventWiring's WeenieError/WeenieErrorWithString handlers already
use.
6. Corrected the "EXHAUSTIVE Portal sweep found ZERO" overclaim in
SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic: the loop's id source was DatCollection's
top-level aggregate GetAllIdsOfType<LayoutDesc>(), not dats.Portal's
own (which reports a count of ZERO for this type), so querying those
ids against dats.Portal.TryGet established nothing about Portal either
way. Corrected the same overclaim echoed in SpewBoxState's
MaxConcurrentItems doc comment and in AP-178's register text (both the
table row and the section-header history line). What's actually
established: dats.Local hosts the SpewBox layout at 0x21000011; whether
Portal also carries a copy remains unestablished.
7. Added a test exercising the full ShowWeenieError -> AddText -> SpewBox
path for id 0x0561 (the 50-friends-cap refusal) in
LiveSessionCommandRouterTests, mirroring LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's
ShowWeenieError closure exactly since every other LiveSessionRuntimeFactory
test in this tree is a source-text conformance grep, not an
instantiation.

Reworks Campaign CH slice CH2 per the REJECT-review findings doc
(docs/research/2026-08-09-ch2-review-findings.md).
BLOCKER 1 — SpewBoxController never rendered a line and leaked its
pending queue. LinesProvider only ran through UiText.OnDraw, which
gates on Visible — and the box started invisible, so the provider (the
sole caller of SpewBoxState.Tick) never ran. Gave the controller an
explicit per-frame Tick(now) driven by UiRoot's global-message-3
broadcast (a zero-size GlobalTimeSink child, the same pattern
VendorUiController.DragOverGlobalTimeSink already uses), matching
retail's gmSpewBoxUI::Update. LinesProvider now only returns the
cache. Tests rewritten to drive root.Tick(...) instead of calling the
provider directly, plus new coverage for visibility-without-a-draw,
queue-drain-without-a-draw, and bounded-queue-across-many-ticks.
BLOCKER 2 — re-derived the HandleFailureEvent routing table from the
PDB-paired binary instead of the pseudo-C's ~33-char string previews.
tools/pdb-extract/sweep_weenie_strings.py sweeps every push imm32 in
VA 0x571990-0x575480, dereferences into .rdata/.data, and decodes the
full UTF-16LE literal. Added the 5 ids dispatched via else-if (missed
by case-label enumeration), resolved 0x4F8 (previously excluded),
fixed 18 wrong strings (16 the review flagged + 2 more — 0x4E9 and
0x518 — an automated diff between every swept literal and the landed
table found). Every changed row cross-checked against ACE's
WeenieError/WeenieErrorWithString enum doc comments; both oracles
agreed on every row, including a case where the review's own proposed
text for the new 0x4E8 row was itself wrong (it was 0x4E9's text) —
corrected via the else-if block's own instruction address plus the ACE
cross-check. Pinned table count: 344 (338 + 5 + 0x4F8).
SHOULD-FIX 1 — RuntimeCommunicationState.ResetSpewBox was dead code;
folded into the ChatIdentity generation-reset stage (same lifetime
boundary), with a reset assertion added to the existing populated-reset
test.
SHOULD-FIX 2 — AddText trimmed only the trailing end and invented an
empty-string early return; retail's AddTextToScroll trims both ends
(trim(&str, 1, 1, ws)) and has no empty guard. Both retired.
SHOULD-FIX 3 — ShowWeenieError bypassed the AddText chokepoint via
ChatLog.OnWeenieError (hardcoded LogTextType 0x00); routed through
Communication.AddText(Resolve(code, param)) instead, and
ChatLog.OnWeenieError is deleted — GameEventWiring's legacy no-router
fallback now resolves + calls OnSystemMessage directly.
SHOULD-FIX 4 — retail's HandleFailureEvent switch has no default case;
an unmapped id now resolves to a null Text (silence toward the
player) instead of the invented "WeenieError 0xNNNN" hex fallback,
with a diagnostics-only console log line for the id.
NITs — AP-TBD placeholders corrected to their real register rows
(AP-178, not the unrelated AP-177 lifetime row); filed AP-180 for the
windowId dual-destination gap and corrected three stale "lands with
CH2" comments; extended SpewBoxLayoutDumpDiagnostic from dats.Portal
to dats.Local and found the SpewBox element for real — LayoutDesc
0x21000011, element 0x10000048, size 450x72, MaxConcurrentItems
(ListBox property 0x10000028) = 4, not retail's code default of 1.
AP-178 narrowed accordingly; SpewBoxState.MaxConcurrentItems and
SpewBoxController's extent/anchor/OneLine are now authored rather than
placeholder (absolute screen position and colour remain open); fixed
the "19 ids... lists 18" miscount by retiring the stale paragraph in
the class doc rewrite; aligned the UseDone handler's silent-status
check with the other two WeenieError handlers.
Full Release suite: 11,914 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (build 0
errors).

Applies the Opus review findings on CH1 (172c6f9a), the exact retail chat
color table. Two blockers plus should-fixes/nits, one commit:
BLOCKER 1 — LegacyChannelChatType.Resolve's channel-bit table was wrong.
Binary Ninja renders retail's `neg esi; sbb esi, esi` idiom (a branchless
select between Channel 0x08 and Channel_Send 0x09) as the trivial pseudo-C
`esi - esi` (always 0), hiding the real values. Corrected by decoding the
raw bytes at the PDB-paired binary: HEAR sbb site VA 0x00570F0A (mask -6 ->
0x08), SEND sbb site VA 0x00570D4F (mask -5 -> 0x09). The generic
admin/audit/sentinel catch-all is Channel/Channel_Send, NOT Abuse (0x0E) —
Abuse is retail's ONLY 0x0E producer (bit 0x0001). The unnamed
FellowBroadcast bit (0x4000000) is hear=Channel(0x08)/send=Fellowship(0x13),
not a flat 0x13. ACE's PDB-sourced Channel enum corroborates. Introduces
`RetailLogTextType`, the 34-value named enum for the wire LogTextType space
(values only, no color — Core stays presentation-free).
BLOCKER 2 — three ChatLog.OnSystemMessage sinks (ChatVM.ShowSystemMessage,
LiveSessionRuntimeFactory's ShowSystemMessage delegate,
HeadlessGameplayOperations.DisplayMessage) were typing ALL
ClientCommandController output 0x1A (bright red), including informational
command output (@version, /loc, friends list, usage lines). Retail types
the great majority of that output 0x00 Default (green) and reserves 0x1A
for genuine refusals/errors. Reverted to 0x00 with a comment noting the
refusal-vs-info split lands with CH2's SpewBox producer rewiring. The five
App composition sites that pass 0x1A for actual refusal text
(InteractionRetainedUiComposition, SessionPlayerComposition) were already
correct and are untouched (aside from converting the literal to the new
enum).
Also: AP-176 divergence-register row for OnWeenieError/OnCombatLine's
single-type approximation of retail's per-code/per-message dispatch; a
carry-forward test for the out-of-range LogTextType color fallback in
ChatWindowController; decomp-confirmed anchors replacing ACE-inferred
citations in CombatChatTranslator and ChatLog.OnPlayerKilled; required
(non-optional) logTextType parameters on OnLocalSpeech/OnTellReceived/
OnCombatLine/OnSelfSent since no production caller relied on a default;
LegacyChannelChatType.Resolve's parameter renamed channelBit -> channelId
with a doc note on multi-bit ids; corrections to the color-table research
doc's §3.3 wire tables; and issue #359 for the pre-existing (not
CH1-introduced) 0x019E PlayerKilled participant-suppression gap retail has

Commits the command-registry, interface-text (SpewBox), and
side-channels-vs-ACE research docs (R3 color-table landed with CH1).
Corrects the CH1 ledger SHA the implementer recorded pre-amend.

Retail colors chat lines by the 34-value wire LogTextType (ACE's
ChatMessageType), NOT by acdream's synthetic 9-value ChatKind. The old
ChatWindowController.RetailChatColor(ChatKind) collapsed distinct retail
colors onto one bucket per ChatKind — e.g. every Channel line rendered
colorLightBlue (Magic's slot) when retail's actual palette spans five
different colors across the Turbine rooms and legacy allegiance family.
Ports ChatInterface::BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0 verbatim
(RetailChatColorTable, all 34 RGBA floats read from the PDB-paired
binary's .data section) and threads a new ChatEntry.LogTextType field
through every ingestion site to the correct retail wire value:
HearSpeech/Tell pass the wire chatType through verbatim; Emote/SoulEmote
hard-code 0x0C; the Tell self-echo hard-codes 0x04; legacy ChatChannel
broadcasts derive their type from the channel bit via the new
LegacyChannelChatType helper (ported from the decompiled
Handle_Communication__ChannelBroadcast dispatch, hear vs. own-send);
TurbineChat rooms map through TurbineChatDisplayNames.LogTextType;
CombatChatTranslator's hit/miss/evade lines map to ACE's CombatSelf/
CombatEnemy per Player_Combat.cs; kill/death lines use retail's
decompiled 0x00 Default (not a combat color). ChatWindowController's
transcript now folds LogTextType through RetailChatColorTable with
retail's exact "out-of-range keeps the previous line's color" carry
rule; ChatPanel's combat highlighting sources the same table.
Corrects HearSpeech.cs's doc-comment ChatType legend (4 of 6 entries
were wrong). Adds register row AP-175 for the pre-existing (unchanged)
Popup-renders-in-chat divergence and updates AP-39's stale per-ChatKind
description. Narrows ISSUES #139 — its chat-colors half is done.
Retail renders no chat timestamp prefix path exists in acdream today,
so the "timestamp is always colorGrey 0x0C" rule has nothing to attach
to; noted here per the research doc rather than left silent.

First track of the alpha-release program. Four deliverables: exact
BuildChatColorLookupTable colors, working side channels vs ACE, retail's
on-screen interface text, complete / and @ command registry. Model split
per user direction: Opus research, Fable planning, Sonnet implementation,
dual-lens Opus review per slice. Slices finalize when the four research
lanes land.
