Rename UiChatView -> UiText (the retail UIElement_Text class,
RegisterElementClass(0xc) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:115655).
Factory changes (DatWidgetFactory.cs):
- Remove the Type-12 skip (was: no-media -> null, with-media -> UiDatElement).
- Add Type 12 -> BuildText() -> UiText in the switch.
- BuildText extracts the element's Direct/Normal sprite as BackgroundSprite
so any dat-media the element carried keeps rendering under the text.
UiText changes (renamed from UiChatView.cs):
- BackgroundColor default: (0,0,0,0.35) -> (0,0,0,0) (transparent).
An unbound UiText draws nothing; the controller opts in to the translucent bg.
- New BackgroundSprite + SpriteResolve: optional dat state-sprite background
drawn UNDER DrawFill+text (faithful UIElement_Text media support).
ChatWindowController.cs (Task 5 Step 8):
- Transcript property: UiChatView -> UiText.
- Bind() now uses layout.FindElement(TranscriptId) as UiText (factory-built)
instead of manually constructing + AddChild-ing a new UiChatView.
- Sets BackgroundColor = (0,0,0,0.35) on the found widget (retail translucent bg).
- Removes the tInfo null-check from the early guard (transcript is factory-built;
iInfo lookup kept for the input widget which is still manually constructed).
- BuildLines: UiChatView.Line -> UiText.Line throughout.
Vitals frozen: the Type-12 vitals number elements are meter children and are
never recursed by BuildWidget (the `if (w is not UiMeter)` gate), so they are
not built as widgets and keep rendering via UiMeter.Label. Vitals fixture
vitals_2100006C.json unchanged; LayoutConformanceTests + VitalsBindingTests green.
Tests:
- UiChatViewTests.cs -> UiTextTests.cs (class: UiTextTests, all UiChatView.* -> UiText.*)
- UiChatViewDatFontTests.cs -> UiTextDatFontTests.cs (same)
- DatWidgetFactoryTests: delete Type12_StylePrototype_ReturnsNull +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12WithMedia_Renders; add Type12_Text_MakesUiText +
DatWidgetFactory_Type12_AlwaysMakesUiText.
- LayoutImporterTests: BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present updated
to assert IsType<UiText> (element is now in tree, transparent, not skipped).
Divergence register: AP-37 amended -- removed the "standalone Type-0 text
elements skipped / dat-text widget is Plan 2" clause (now shipped as UiText);
kept the meter-collapse clause and the vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause.
AP-38/AP-39/AD-28 file references updated UiChatView.cs -> UiText.cs.

Review caught a behavior divergence: the generic UiMenu auto-set its own
Selected on any enabled pick, while the controller's EnabledProvider keeps the
null-payload specials (Squelch / Tell-to-Selected) enabled/white like retail.
So a special-item click set Selected=null and shifted the highlight onto the
deferred placeholders — and the menu tests masked it by using a different
(specials-disabled) gate than the controller ships.
Fix: clean MVC contract mirroring retail UIElement_Menu::NewSelection — the
widget REPORTS the pick via OnSelect; the controller OWNS Selected (it sets it
only for talk-channel payloads). A special-item click now fires OnSelect(null),
the controller ignores it, and the active channel + highlight stay put —
observably identical to the pre-generalization widget, and extensible for when
Squelch lands. Tests realigned to the controller's gate (specials white) and to
the controller-owns-Selected contract.

UiChannelMenu → UiMenu: removed ChatChannelKind, the 14-item array, the
button-text map, and the availability default. Generic surface: MenuItem
(label + object? Payload), Selected (object?), OnSelect, EnabledProvider,
ButtonLabelProvider, RowsPerColumn/RowHeight/ColumnWidth (all settable).
All draw/event mechanics unchanged — same popup geometry, same click
coordinates, same 8-piece bevel, same 3-slice button face.
ChatWindowController gains ChannelItems[], ChannelButtonLabel(), and
ChannelAvailable() (verbatim from old widget), and populates the
factory-built Type-6 UiMenu via find-by-id rather than constructing a
replacement widget. The Menu property type is now UiMenu. OnChannelChanged
wrap replaced with the generic OnSelect wrap for the ReflowInputRow hook.
DatWidgetFactory registers Type 6 → new UiMenu().
Tests: UiChannelMenuTests → UiMenuTests (10 tests, all green); factory
Type6 test added; ChatWindowControllerTests updated to use OnSelect.
Divergence register: AP-42 added (flat item model vs retail nested-submenu
MakePopup @0x46d310 — latent, unreachable through the chat menu).

Introduces UiButton: a dedicated dat-widget button that ports UIElement_Button
(RegisterElementClass(1,...) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:125828). State selection,
tiled DrawSprite, and label rendering mirror UiDatElement exactly so the chat Send
and Max/Min buttons have zero behavioral change.
DatWidgetFactory now maps Type 1 → UiButton (beside Type 7 → UiMeter, Type 11 →
UiScrollbar). ChatWindowController's Send and Max/Min bind blocks updated from
UiDatElement casts to UiButton casts; ClickThrough=false lines dropped (UiButton
is interactive by construction).
The old UiPanel.cs UiButton (a plain dev-scaffold rect+text button with no dat
sprites) is renamed UiSimpleButton to free the name — no production code
instantiated it.

- git mv UiChatScrollbar.cs → UiScrollbar.cs; rename class + update doc summary to
"Generic scrollbar. Ports retail UIElement_Scrollbar (RegisterElementClass(0xb) @
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:124137); thumb size = trackLen * ThumbRatio (min 8px); step ±1 line."
- git mv UiChatScrollbarTests.cs → UiScrollbarTests.cs; rename test class + replace
every UiChatScrollbar reference with UiScrollbar (bodies unchanged).
- DatWidgetFactory: register Type 11 → new UiScrollbar() before the _ fallback case.
- ChatWindowController: change Scrollbar property type to UiScrollbar; replace the old
"construct-remove-add" block with a "find factory-built UiScrollbar and bind in place"
block (no RemoveChild/AddChild); keep `var track` assignment in scope so the Max/Min
block's track.Left/track.Width reads still compile against UiElement?.
- AP-41 divergence register: update file:line to UiScrollbar.cs:35; narrow wording to
"fallback only — single-tile drawn only when cap ids are unset; the chat controller
passes all three cap ids so the 3-slice path is the active code path."
- Update inline UiChatScrollbar doc-comment references in UiScrollable.cs + UiChatView.cs.

- Add ChatLayoutFixtureGenerator.cs (Skip-by-default) to regenerate
chat_21000006.json from the live portal.dat via LayoutImporter.ImportInfos
- Commit generated fixture chat_21000006.json (13 KB, 400 lines) — dat-free,
auto-copied to test output via existing *.json csproj glob
- Refactor FixtureLoader: extract shared LoadInfos(fileName) helper; add
LoadChat() + LoadChatInfos() mirroring the vitals pattern; LoadVitalsInfos()
now delegates to the shared loader (behavior unchanged, vitals tests green)
- Add ChatLayoutConformanceTests: ResolvesKnownElements + ResolvedTypes_MatchRetailRegistry
Confirmed resolved Types from live dat:
0x10000011 (transcript) → Type 12 (style-prototype, skipped by factory)
0x10000016 (input) → Type 12 (style-prototype, skipped by factory)
0x10000014 (menu) → Type 6
0x10000012 (scrollbar) → Type 11
0x10000019 (send) → Type 1
0x1000046F (max/min) → Type 1
Also fix pre-existing build break: UiChatInput.MoveCaret(int delta) was made
private in ce848c1 but UiChatInputTests.Backspace_DeletesBeforeCaret called it
as public. Expose a public MoveCaret(int) overload (no-shift) alongside the
private MoveCaret(int,bool) — restores the intended test surface.

A `dump-font-atlas` subcommand renders a dat Font's fg/bg atlases (alpha as
luminance) plus a sample string composited exactly the way DrawStringDat does
it (outline + fill, integer-snapped). Used to reproduce the glyph-baseline
jitter offline (fractional-origin bug vs the fix) without launching the client.

- ChatWindowController: wires the menu chrome (popup bevel, row/checkbox
sprites), the input focused-field sprite + keyboard, and autosizes the channel
button + reflows the input field to start after it (anchor re-capture so the
per-frame layout doesn't fight it). DefaultTextInput / write-mode focus hooked
up.
- WrapText now breaks an over-long UNBROKEN token at character boundaries (no
hyphen), packed onto the current line first — so a spaceless token wraps
instead of overflowing, and a "You say," prefix stays on the same row as the
start of the message.
- UiChatView: transcript background + selection highlight use DrawFill (sprite
bucket) so the transcript text draws ON TOP instead of being dimmed by its own
translucent rect background.

In chat write mode the keyboard belongs to the input — typing "swd" must not
walk the character — but AUTORUN must keep going (the user can chat while
running).
- InputDispatcher.IsActionHeld now returns false while WantCaptureKeyboard is
set (a focused chat input), the polling-path twin of the existing gate on
Fired actions. This SUPERSEDES the old per-frame OnUpdate early-return, which
also killed autorun. Gating here instead lets the movement block keep running,
so autorun — a separate latched bool ORed into Forward at the call site, not a
polled key — survives. Test updated to encode the new contract.
- GameWindow: the movement suppress-guard reverts to ImGui-devtools-only (the
retail write mode no longer early-returns); wires DefaultTextInput = the chat
input (Tab/Enter activation) and Input.Keyboard for clipboard. Drops the
one-shot UI-scale diagnostic.

Port the retail UIElement_Text editable single-line field:
- Focused = "write mode": draws the gold lit field sprite (0x060011AB, the
Normal_focussed state) instead of the flat translucent rect; Enter submits
AND blurs (exits write mode).
- Single-line SELECTION: click-drag, Shift+Arrows, Shift+Home/End, Ctrl+A;
translucent-blue highlight behind the span; typing/Backspace/Delete/Paste
replace the selection first.
- CLIPBOARD: Ctrl+C copy, Ctrl+X cut, Ctrl+V paste at the caret (control chars
stripped — single-line). Wired to the keyboard device for clipboard + Ctrl/
Shift state.
- Held-key AUTO-REPEAT (Silk delivers one KeyDown per press): Backspace /
Delete / Left / Right repeat via a 0.4s-delay, ~25/s OnTick timer.
- Horizontal SCROLL + clip: keeps the caret in the field and draws only the
glyph window that fits inside it, so long input scrolls within the box
instead of spilling past Send into the 3D world.

Match the talk-focus menu + button to retail (decomp-verified):
- Menu item text is FILL-ONLY (retail UIElement_Text outlines only when
SetOutline(true); the talk-focus items don't) — kills the grey halo. Available
items render white; UNAVAILABLE items render grey (not the salmon colorPink,
which is a chat-MESSAGE color we'd misapplied). Special items (Squelch /
Tell-to-Selected) render white. Labels indent past the baked checkbox in the
row sprite (0600124E empty box / 0600124D white checkmark) instead of
overlapping it.
- The popup is wrapped in the universal 8-piece window bevel (the menu sprite
family has no border) and draws in OnDrawOverlay so the translucent chat
panel no longer greys its right column.
- The button face (0600124D/66, a fixed 46px LED+arrow sprite) is now 3-sliced
(LED cap / stretch / arrow cap) and autosizes to its label via
NaturalButtonWidth, so "Chat" fits in the body instead of running into the
arrow. The status LED (red Normal / green Pressed) is no longer overdrawn.

The retail-look render + focus primitives this chat pass builds on:
- TextRenderer: an OVERLAY layer (sprite/rect/text buckets flushed AFTER the
normal layer) so an open popup composites on top of everything incl. rect
panel backgrounds; a DrawFill primitive (solid quad via a 1x1 white texture)
routed through the SPRITE bucket so a panel background draws UNDER its text
instead of being washed by the later rect bucket; and the text pass now
disables SampleAlphaToCoverage + Multisample so glyph alpha edges aren't
dithered into MSAA coverage (the "fuzzy text") — self-contained GL state
per feedback_render_self_contained_gl_state.
- UiRenderContext.DrawStringDat: snap the line baseline to a whole pixel ONCE
then add the integer per-glyph offset (retail DrawCharacter takes an int
pen-Y + schar m_VerticalOffsetBefore) — fixes the "letters dip down" jitter
at a fractional line origin. Outline pass is now opt-in (retail gates it per
element via SetOutline; default off = crisp fill-only). Adds DrawFill +
Begin/EndOverlayLayer.
- UiElement: OnDrawOverlay + DrawOverlays (second traversal), FindRoot (blur
self), ResetAnchorCapture (re-baseline an anchored element after reflow).
- UiRoot: runs the overlay pass after the main tree; Tab/Enter focuses the
DefaultTextInput (write-mode activation); a left click on a non-edit target
blurs the focused input (exit write mode without submitting).

fix(D.2b): point-sample the dat-font atlas so UI text is pixel-crisp
The font glyph atlas was uploaded with bilinear (Linear) min/mag filtering, which
softens the small dat-font glyphs (the menu/button text "blur"). Add a nearest-filter
path to UploadRgba8/GetOrUploadRenderSurface and use it for the font atlases only
(world + other UI surfaces keep bilinear). Combined with the existing per-glyph
pixel-snap, glyph texels now map 1:1 to screen pixels. Sharpens all dat-font text
(transcript, menu, Send/Chat buttons, vitals numbers).

@
fix(D.2b): arrow swap, centered menu text, scrollbar-to-top, Send caption
- scroll arrows: native sprites are opposite (0x06004C6C up / 0x06004C69 down) per live
visual — swap the assignment, drop the V-flip.
- menu labels centered vertically in each 17px row (was top-aligned, looked corrupt).
- scrollbar pulled up to the panel top so the top arrow meets the window border and the
max/min button lines up with it (the 6px dat offset left a gap after the resize-bar reclaim).
- Send button: the dat sprite 0x06001915 is a blank gold frame (export-confirmed), so add a
generic optional Label/LabelFont to UiDatElement and draw "Send" centered on it.

feat(D.2b): data-driven channel menu chrome + greying + scroll-arrow fix
Investigation found the menu popup is fully dat-driven (UIElement_Menu::MakePopup
@0x46d310 reads LayoutDesc 0x21000006 elements 0x1000001C/1D/1E — the "stray" top-level
elements). Render the popup from the real sprites instead of a flat rect:
- panel 0x0600124C, item row 0x0600124E, selected row 0x0600124D; 191x17 rows, 2 cols.
- drawing rows as SPRITES also fixes the z-order (a DrawRect bg composited OVER the
labels; sprites share the labels submission bucket so text lands on top).
- item greying: available channels white, unavailable salmon (colorPink) — static
approximation (Say/General/Trade/LFG) with an AvailabilityProvider hook for live
TurbineChat state; unavailable items are inert on click. Ports ResetAllTalkFocusMenuButtons.
- scroll arrows: both dat sprites point down (export-confirmed); V-flip the top button
so it points up.
Tabs confirmed to have NO digits in retail (blank gold frames) — acdream already matches.
Build + 392 App tests green.

fix(D.2b): channel menu popup opaque + button label tracks selected target
- the popup inherited the chat window 0.75 opacity so the transcript bled through;
add UiRenderContext.PushAlphaAbsolute and draw the popup at absolute opacity.
- the "Chat" button was hardcoded; it now shows the active talk target (retail
updates it on selection). Exact textured menu-panel sprite is a follow-up (the
popup is a keystone UIElement_Menu construct, not in the chat LayoutDesc).

feat(D.2b): chat polish — typing fix, opacity, scrollbar 3-slice, retail channel menu
Visual-iteration batch (decomp-grounded), each fix verified against the retail screenshots:
- typing: UiElement.HitTest aborted on ClickThrough BEFORE walking children, so the
ClickThrough UiDatElement panels blocked hit-testing to the input/transcript inside
them. Check ClickThrough AFTER the child walk (it only gates whether THIS element
claims the hit). Restores input focus + typing.
- opacity: UiElement.Opacity + a UiRenderContext alpha stack applied to sprite/rect
draws (text bypasses it, stays sharp); chat frame Opacity=0.75 → translucent chat.
- brown sliver: grow the transcript panel up 9px to cover the dropped resize-bar strip.
- scrollbar: real 3-slice thumb (caps 0x06004C60/66 + tiled mid) + tiled track.
- max/min: shifted one button-width left of the scrollbar (dat right-anchors collide).
- system text now green (retail ChatMessageType 5; was yellow).
- word-wrap: transcript lines wrap to the panel width (greedy, ports GlyphList::Recalculate).
- channel menu reworked to retail gmMainChatUI::InitTalkFocusMenu: "Chat" button + a
TWO-COLUMN popup of the 14 talk-focus items (Squelch, Tell to Selected, Chat to All,
Tell to Fellows, ...) on a tan panel; channel items set the active outbound channel.

AP-41: scrollbar thumb drawn as single stretched tile (0x06004C63) instead of

Replace the hand-authored chat block (UiNineSlicePanel + inline UiChatView
+ local BuildRetailChatLines/RetailChatColor statics) with
ChatWindowController.Bind(LayoutDesc 0x21000006) — the same LayoutImporter
path as the vitals window. The controller places UiChatView (transcript) +
UiChatInput (text entry, on-submit) + UiChatScrollbar + UiChannelMenu inside
the dat-authored chrome. The dead local statics are deleted.
Wired to _commandBus (same LiveCommandBus as the ImGui ChatPanel) so
type+Enter dispatches SendChatCmd server-ward. Transcript keyboard set from
_uiHost.Keyboard (set by WireKeyboard above the chat block) for Ctrl+C/Ctrl+A.
Divergence register: added AD-28 (two-widget split vs UIElement_Text),
AP-38 (no in-element word-wrap), AP-39 (per-line colour vs per-glyph runs),
AP-40 (no opacity fade / shared vitalsDatFont), TS-30 (tab buttons no-op),
TS-31 (no squelch); updated IA-15 to cover both vitals + chat importer paths.

Implements Task G2: binds the imported chat LayoutDesc (0x21000006) to live
behavior, the acdream analogue of retail ChatInterface + gmMainChatUI::PostInit.
- UiDatElement: add OnClick hook + OnEvent override so Send/max-min buttons
can be wired by a controller without needing a dedicated widget type.
- ChatWindowController.Bind: reads transcript (0x10000011) and input
(0x10000016) rects from the raw ElementInfo tree (factory skips them as
Type-12/no-media), places UiChatView under the transcript panel and
UiChatInput under the input bar; replaces the imported scrollbar track
(0x10000012) with UiChatScrollbar driving UiChatView.Scroll; replaces
the channel menu placeholder (0x10000014) with UiChannelMenu; wires
Send button and max/min toggle via the new OnClick hook.
ChatCommandRouter.Submit routes all input through the existing pipeline.
- 6 smoke tests: Bind returns non-null, Transcript is child of panel,
Input is child of bar, Input.OnSubmit publishes SendChatCmd, channel
change updates submit channel, returns null when panels missing.
Build: 0 errors. Test suite: 392 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed.

Task G1: two gaps blocked chat window static sprite elements from rendering.
Change 1 — DatWidgetFactory: only skip Type-12 elements that have no own
state media (pure style prototypes). A Type-12 element that carries sprites
(e.g. a chat Send button whose derived Type-0 element inherited Type 12 from
its base prototype) now renders as a UiDatElement.
Change 2 — ElementInfo: add DefaultStateName field (string, default "").
Change 3 — LayoutImporter.ToInfo: read ElementDesc.DefaultState.ToString()
into DefaultStateName; normalize Undef/Undefined/0 sentinels to "".
Change 4 — ElementReader.Merge: inherit DefaultStateName (derived wins if
non-empty, else base).
Change 5 — UiDatElement ctor: initialize ActiveState to DefaultStateName
when set; else "Normal" when a Normal-state sprite is present (retail's
implicit default for buttons/tabs); else "" (DirectState). This makes the
Send button, max/min button, and numbered tabs render their default sprite
without requiring explicit state assignment at runtime.
Vitals neutrality: all vitals chrome/grip elements carry DirectState-only
sprites with no "Normal" named state and DefaultStateName="" (Undef in dat),
so their ActiveState stays "" and their existing conformance tests are
unaffected. Vitals text labels (Type 0→12 via Merge, no StateMedia) are
still skipped by the refined Type-12 guard (StateMedia.Count==0).
Tests: 4 new tests (2 in DatWidgetFactoryTests, 3 in UiDatElementTests).
All 386 pass; 387 total (1 pre-existing skip).

Implements the right-side chat scrollbar widget. Ports retail
UIElement_Scrollbar::UpdateLayout @0x4710d0 (thumb sizing + placement)
and HandleButtonClick @0x470e90 (step ±1 line, page on track click).
Dat element ids sourced from chat LayoutDesc 0x21000006 (base layout

0x06004C5F, thumb middle 0x06004C63. Up/down buttons occupy the top and
bottom ButtonH (16px) regions of the widget height, matching element

Replace the ad-hoc _scroll float with a public UiScrollable instance.
OnDraw feeds ContentHeight/ViewHeight/LineHeight into the model each
frame and reads baseY = bottom - contentH + (MaxScroll - ScrollY) —
the (MaxScroll-ScrollY) inversion reconciles UiScrollable's top-origin
convention (0=oldest, MaxScroll=newest) with the visual layout (newest
at bottom). The wheel handler routes through ScrollByLines with a sign
flip so wheel-up still reveals older lines. _pinBottom tracks whether
the view is at the end and calls ScrollToEnd() each draw to auto-scroll
new messages. ClampScroll static method kept — referenced by existing
tests.

- Add `DatFont` property (UiDatFont?): when set, OnDraw uses
ctx.DrawStringDat + datFont.MeasureWidth for all transcript lines;
BitmapFont path unchanged as fallback when DatFont is null.
- Cache `_lastDatFont` alongside `_lastFont` so HitChar hit-tests the
same advance source that drew the last frame.
- HitChar prefers `_lastDatFont` (via UiDatFont.GlyphAdvance) over
`_lastFont` (via bf.Advance) for column resolution, keeping
drag-select and Ctrl+C accurate with the dat font.
- Scroll event handler uses DatFont?.LineHeight first, so the wheel
quantum stays correct when the dat font has a different line height.
- WheelLines 3f → 1f: retail UIElement_Text::HandleMouseWheel
(@0x471450) advances one line per notch; our 3-line quantum was
wrong.
- Add UiChatViewDatFontTests: pins GlyphAdvance formula
(Before+Width+After = 10) and CharIndexAt dat-advance integration.

LayoutDesc 0x21000006 (gmMainChatUI, element class 0x10000041) and grounds a
faithful, data-driven re-drive in the named retail decomp (ChatInterface +
gmMainChatUI + UIElement_Text/_Scrollable/_Scrollbar/_Menu) plus a user-provided
retail screenshot.
Design (full-faithful scope, user-approved):
- transcript = UIElement_Text 0x10000011 (dat font, bottom-pinned, 10k behead cap,
pixel scroll, 1 line/wheel-notch)
- scrollbar = right-side track 0x10000012 + thumb 0x1000048c + up/down
- input = editable UIElement_Text 0x10000016 (caret, 100-entry history, Enter/Send)
- channel menu = UIElement_Menu 0x10000014 ("Chat" selector -> active channel)
- shared ChatCommandRouter extracted from ChatPanel
- screenshot correction: the four 0x10000522-525 left-edge elements are the
numbered CHAT TABS (1-4), not scroll buttons (a research-agent inference the
retail screenshot refutes)
- deferred (need non-UI plumbing, each gets a divergence row): tab switching/
filtering, squelch, clickable name-tags, in-element word-wrap, styled runs,
font config, opacity transition
Tooling: AcDream.Cli `list-ui-layouts <datdir> [0xRootType]` — read-only index of
every UI LayoutDesc by root element class + size + element-Type histogram; how the
chat layout was located (root type 0x10000041). Reusable for future panel re-drives.

DrawStringDat placed each glyph quad at the raw (often fractional) pen/origin.
When a bar resizes to a fractional width, the centered cur/max number lands on a
sub-pixel x and the glyph atlas (linear-filtered) smears — the 'unsharp at certain
sizes' artifact. Round each glyph's destination to whole pixels (the pen keeps its
true fractional advance, so spacing is unaffected) — matches retail blitting glyphs
to integer dest. User-confirmed sharp across resize widths.

TextRenderer batched sprites per-texture and drew each texture's whole buffer at
its FIRST-insertion point. The dat-font glyph atlas is one shared texture used by
all three vital numbers; it first appeared at the health bar, so all three numbers
were emitted right after the health bars — then the stamina + mana bar sprites
painted over their own numbers (only health survived). Replaced the per-texture
dictionary with submission-ordered segments (consecutive same-texture quads still
batch); each meter's number now draws after its own bars. The renderer's own
comment had predicted this break once bars became sprites (importer did that).
Removed the temporary UiMeter label diagnostic.

ToAnchors was inverted vs retail UIElement::UpdateForParentSizeChange @0x00462640:
stretch is RightEdge==1 (not ==2/==4), LeftEdge==2 = track-right. Verified against
all 19 vitals fixture pieces. Enables Resizable/ResizeX on the importer vitals root
(the prior 'dat is fixed-size' conclusion was wrong). At-rest render unchanged
(anchors only fire on resize). Added a 160->200 resize conformance test.
Also fixed DatWidgetFactoryTests.RectAndAnchors_SetFromElementInfo which encoded
the old inverted model (Right=2 expecting Right anchor; corrected to Right=1).

The importer (proven pixel-identical at the 2026-06-15 A/B gate) is now the
default vitals window when ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1 — data-driven from LayoutDesc
0x2100006C. Removed: the hand-authored vitals.xml build path, the asset file
(recoverable from git history), and the now-obsolete ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER
flag (RuntimeOptions param + parse + 2 tests). The window is user-positioned at
(10,30) and movable; resize stays off — the dat stacked-vitals layout is fixed-
size (chrome edges near-pinned), faithful grip/dragbar resize is Plan 2.
MarkupDocument/UiNineSlicePanel remain for the chat window + plugin panels.
AcDream.App builds 0/0; AcDream.App.Tests 352 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed.

main was 65 commits ahead of this branch's fork point. Only conflict was the
divergence register: both sides appended an 'AP-32' row. Resolved by keeping
main's AP-32..AP-36 (cell-shell lift, look-in cells, alpha deferral, dungeon
streaming, point lights) and renumbering the importer's row to AP-37; AP header
count -> 37. GameWindow.cs auto-merged cleanly. Verified: AcDream.App builds
0/0; AcDream.App.Tests 354 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed.

Process/quality items from the LayoutDesc-importer final review — no runtime
behavior change.
I1a — amend IA-15: the 8-piece chrome edge/corner→position mapping is no longer
a guess. The LayoutImporter (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER) reads real LayoutDesc
dat data and resolves positions + sprite ids directly; locked by the conformance
fixture vitals_2100006C.json. Residual risk trimmed to anchor resolution at
non-800×600 + controls.ini cascade. Pointers added to LayoutImporter.cs and the
format-doc.
I1b — add AP-32: the importer collapses the dat's nested meter structure
(Type-7 → two Type-3 containers → three image-slice grandchildren each) into
UiMeter's programmatic 3-slice fields instead of building those nodes generically
and porting UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren. Standalone Type-0 text elements are
also skipped (Plan 2). Retail oracles: UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren @0x46fbd0,
UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x467aa0.
I1c — AP section header 31 → 32.
N1 — ElementReader.cs: comment at the Type-merge line explaining that a derived
Type 0 (text element) inherits the base's Type 12 (style prototype), which
DatWidgetFactory skips; safe for Plan 1 because vitals numbers render via
UiMeter.Label. Format-doc §10: correct the "render as UiDatElement" sentence to
"skipped entirely" (Type-0 → inherits Type-12 via Merge → factory returns null).
N4 — new conformance test VitalsTree_TextLabel_InheritsFontDidFromBaseLayout:
walks the raw ElementInfo tree from the fixture and asserts at least one element
carries FontDid==0x40000000, proving Resolve()'s inheritance merge fired against
real dat data. FixtureLoader gains LoadVitalsInfos() that returns the raw tree
without calling Build.
Tests: 36 pass (was 35), 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Fix 1: replace 3 copy-paste meter blocks in VitalsTree_MetersHaveExpectedSliceIds
with a single table-driven loop — a 4th meter is now a one-liner and failures
name the failing meter id directly.
Fix 2: FixtureLoader now reads the fixture as bytes and strips the UTF-8 BOM
(EF BB BF) before passing the span to JsonSerializer, so a BOM-bearing fixture
file never causes a spurious JsonReaderException.
Fix 3: add [Trait("Category", "Conformance")] at the class level so conformance
tests are selectable by category filter.
Fix 4: add missing <param name="layoutId"> doc tag to LayoutImporter.ImportInfos.

Job 1: extract LayoutImporter.ImportInfos() (public dat-shell half that returns the
resolved ElementInfo tree without building widgets) so fixture generation and
conformance tests can call it directly. Import() now delegates to ImportInfos() +
Build() — existing 32 Layout tests stay green.
Job 2: generate tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/fixtures/vitals_2100006C.json
from the real portal.dat via a throwaway [Fact] generator (deleted, not committed).
System.Text.Json with IncludeFields=true — ValueTuple serializes as Item1/Item2.
Pre-write validation confirmed health meter BackLeft=0x0600747E FrontRight=0x06007483
rect (5,5,150,16). Round-trip deserialization re-validated before writing.
Job 3: FixtureLoader.LoadVitals() deserializes the fixture from the test output
directory (CopyToOutputDirectory item in csproj) and returns ImportedLayout via
LayoutImporter.Build(root, _ => (0,0,0), null) — no dats, no GL.
Job 4: LayoutConformanceTests — 3 golden tests (35 asserts total):
- VitalsTree_HasThreeMetersAtExpectedRects: 3 meters at x=5, w=150, h=16, y=5/21/37
- VitalsTree_MetersHaveExpectedSliceIds: all 18 back+front slice ids health/stamina/mana
- VitalsTree_ChromeCornerHasExpectedSprite: TL corner 0x10000633 → sprite 0x060074C3
Full App suite: 326 pass / 1 skip (pre-existing) / 0 fail. Build: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Throwaway generator not committed (confirmed via git status).

Adds RuntimeOptions.RetailUiImporter (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER=1) — a new
opt-in flag that runs the LayoutImporter-built vitals window ALONGSIDE the
hand-authored vitals panel for pixel-for-pixel A/B comparison. The importer
window is placed at x=200, y=30 so both render simultaneously within the same
ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1 session. The hand-authored path is entirely untouched and
remains the default; the importer path is the eventual switch-over target.
Also adds two RuntimeOptionsRetailUiTests covering the new flag: value "1" →
true, unset/other → false.

Fix 1: Added a <para> to the VitalsController class summary citing
docs/research/2026-06-15-layoutdesc-format.md §11 as the source of the
three dat element ids, giving a paper trail back to the evidence per
the project's cite-in-comments rule.
Fix 2: Changed FakeLayout in VitalsBindingTests to accept (uint id,
UiElement e) tuples instead of (string idHex, UiElement e), and updated
all three call sites to pass VitalsController.Health/.Stamina/.Mana.
Tests now follow the constants automatically if they ever change rather
than silently passing with stale hex literals.

Mirrors retail gmVitalsUI::PostInit: grab Health/Stamina/Mana meters from
the imported layout by their dat element ids (0x100000E6 / EC / EE) and
wire Func<float> fill + Func<string> label providers. Missing ids are
silently skipped (no throw). Slice sprites + dat font already set by the
factory — this is pure data wiring, not graphics.
3 TDD tests: single-meter fill+label, all-three distinct providers, missing-id no-throw.

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

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
