AS1-AS5 are all review-closed (AS5: 170/170 title strings verified, 6 of
them PE byte-decoded; zero behavioral findings across the campaign after
AS2). The AS6 connected-gate script is written and waits on the owner:
docs/research/2026-08-25-campaign-as-test-script.md, carrying the two
standing rulings (Society row colors are model-only pending AP-110
FontInfo — do not gate on them; the AD-114 animated paperdoll deviation
is expected) and the R3 unconditional-legend retail side-by-side check.
Also: the re-review's grep-hygiene tail — the last "retires AP-109"
phrasing in AppraisalUiController.cs now reads "closes AP-109's title-bar
residual", and the CT plan's stale "this campaign retires AP-109" intent
line (never executed — CT4 narrowed) carries a dated correction.
Branch remains unpushed per the owner's standing instruction.

The AS4 dual-lens review approved the port as exact and required a
docs-only fix round:
- Ground truth §2b row 1: the Society gate is PRESENCE of Int 281
(AppraisalProfile::InqInt @0x005B3830 returns found/not-found), not
value!=0; the color rule is same-bit-first (@0x004b49fd/@0x004b4a49/
@0x004b4a8b) so a multi-bit local player still resolves green on a
match; the ??? arm precedes the Radiant Blood test.
- Ruling R5 corrected: the row model carries CreatureAppraisalValueStyle
but ResolveColor is a deliberate no-op until AP-110's FontInfo-list
residual lands — the Society green/red is model-only and invisible at
the connected gate; AS6's script must not gate on row colors.
- Ledger: AS4 land 4ade9b04; true full-solution hermetic count is 15,528
(the AS4 commit body's 15,410 was a mis-report; the review re-ran and
reconciled 15,483 + 45 new = 15,528).
- #442 filed: pre-existing parallel-load flake in the shadow-caster
zero-allocation pin, surfaced by the review's full-solution run;
isolation evidence recorded; unrelated to Campaign AS.

The AS3 dual-lens review verified the armor-level trio, sentinel, legend,
and monster-path exclusion at offset level and disproved the R3
BN-flattening theory structurally (legend sits outside the InqCreature
block, pseudo-C line 189962). The ratings adjudication resolved in the
implementer's favor: the pre-AS3 composer already had retail's per-row
gating and spacer discipline. NITs 11/12 + the AP-110 narrowing ride AS4.

Owner report 2026-08-25: the examination window on an assessed PLAYER is
missing retail's identity block (gender/heritage, title, PK), the three
per-bodypart armor-level rows, allegiance/faction lines, and the
target-configurable extras. Three-lens research (our pipeline, ACE wire,
named retail decomp) established: the 0x00C9 parse is already complete
(ArmorLevels 0x4000 parsed and dead), everything arrives from ACE, and
the core defect is an element mis-mapping in the Character subview vs
CharExamineUI @0x004AD3C0 (heritage slot fed a raw string prop, title
slot fed AllegianceName, PK slot fed MonarchsName, allegiance slot fed
an invented "Assessment incomplete" literal). Zero Character-subview
tests existed, which is how it survived the Slice 3 gate.
Slices AS2-AS5 (serial, coupled files) + AS6 gate script; ground truth
doc carries the binding line-composition tables, gap ledger G1-G10, and
rulings R1-R8.

Applies all 11 items from the Opus dual-lens review of 989f6652 (0
blockers, 7 SHOULD-FIX, 4 NOTE):
- S2: UiElement.DrawSelfAndChildren now pushes the ambient clip right
after PushAlpha and wraps OnDraw + the children walk +
OnDrawAfterChildren in ONE block — the literal UIRegion::DrawHere
@0x0069FA30 shape, which clips an element's OWN DrawSelf too, not
just its children (UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x00467AA0 locks glyph
blits to its own clipped surface rect; UIRegion::DrawSelf
@0x0069F1A0 blits per clip rect). Deleted the two now-redundant
ad-hoc self-clips this supersedes: UiText.DrawText and
UiField.DrawMultiLine both pushed their own (0,0,Width,Height) —
exactly what the new ambient clip already provides one level up.
Kept UiButton.DrawBlockLabel's clip: it clips to LabelBox/ValueBox,
an authored INNER sub-rect that can be smaller than and offset from
the button's own full rect — a genuine narrower viewport, not a
redundant duplicate.
- S3: deleted UiItemList's `ClipsChildren => CellWidth > 0f` override
— correct under the old opt-in-false default, inverted under the
new default-true (an unconfigured list would stop clipping instead
of clipping like everything else).
- S4: pinned the escaped-popup input path end to end. New
UiAncestorClipTests test mounts a menu inside a short window on a
real UiRoot, opens it, and proves a click in the escaped popup
region reaches the menu through UiRoot.PopupHit (a plain top-down
walk is proven to reject the same point first). UiRoot.WantsMouse
now also checks PopupHit — it previously only checked Captured/
HitTestTopDown, so a game action could fire underneath an open
dropdown's escaped region. OnMouseDown/OnScroll already routed
through PopupHit first (#374); unchanged.
- S5: strengthened the Titles-divider regression test's positive
half. The old assertion only checked SOME quad's Y fell in a band —
vacuously true given other same-band content. Now asserts the
divider's exact rect (X and Y), then diffs against the same rect
with the divider hidden (Visible=false) to prove the quad was
actually attributable to it.
- S1: added UiWindowDrawCaptureSweepTests — Character/Chat/Vendor/
Options mounted through their real production Bind entry points
with a non-zero sprite resolver, drawn via RecordingGpuDevice,
asserting a per-window vertex floor (~40-45% of this session's
observed baseline: Character 588, Chat 162, Vendor 54, Options 240)
plus one key sprite id read LIVE off the bound controller/element
(never hardcoded). Character's key sprite (RetailChromeSprites.
TopEdge) specifically exercises OnDrawAfterChildren, the exact path
S2's caution note flagged. Inventory/Paperdoll/social/map-house
skipped — no single fixture-driven top-level Bind entry point.
- S6: added the CT-GF1 subsection to the campaign plan's ledger
(989f6652 + this fix round; CT7 re-gate still owed).
- S7: UiRenderContext.PushClipUnbounded now resets to the CANVAS rect
(0,0,ScreenSize), not null — retail's own popup region is
SCREEN-clipped (UIElement_Menu::MakePopup spawns a top-level region
bounded by the screen), not truly unbounded. AD-113 amended.
- N1: UiRoot overrides ClipsChildren => false — the root's own region
IS the screen (the viewport already scissors it), so this is a
safety net against a momentarily zero-sized root silently blanking
the whole UI tree under the new ancestor-clip default.
- N2: added the empty-clip subtree cull (retail's var_24 gate
@0x0069FB8E) to DrawSelfAndChildren only — DrawOverlays is a wholly
separate traversal untouched by this change. New test proves a menu
inside a fully-clipped (zero-width) window still draws its open
popup via the overlay pass while the main pass draws nothing.
- N3: CT7 script §5 now names the collapsed-toolbar check and the
four highest-overflow windows (combat/vitals bar, Options
bottom-button row, map/house page, floaty chat) as explicit
eyeball items for the re-gate.
- N4: verification below covers both the working tree and the clean
committed tree.
Decomp anchors: UIRegion::DrawHere @0x0069FA30 (var_24 gate
@0x0069FB8E); UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x00467AA0 (self-clip);
UIRegion::DrawSelf @0x0069F1A0; UIElement_Menu::MakePopup (screen-
clipped popup region).
Verification (both runs green, --filter "Lane!=InstalledDat&
Lane!=PreparedPackage&Lane!=Live&Lane!=Manual&Lane!=Timing&
Lane!=Windows&Lane!=Linux&Lane!=SystemFont&Purpose!=Diagnostic&
Status!=KnownFailure"): full Release solution build green; working
tree 14,900+ tests across every project (one LandblockPresentation
PipelineTests flake reproduced ONLY under full-solution parallel
load, passes standalone and on rerun — unrelated to this change,
streaming domain); InstalledDat lane green (ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT
_TESTS=1, Status!=KnownFailure, 205+34+3+172 App/Content/Bake/Core
tests). Clean committed tree (git stash push -u the uncommitted
owner probe + docs files, rerun, stash pop) reported in the session
summary.
src/AcDream.App/UI/UiRoot.cs carries an unrelated, pre-existing
uncommitted owner probe (ACDREAM_PROBE_UI_HOVER) — staged selectively
(git add -p) so only this commit's own two hunks (ClipsChildren
override, WantsMouse) landed; the probe hunk is untouched and stays
uncommitted, same as before this fix round.

Opus dual-lens review of CT6 (ec50455a) found 1 blocker, 4 should-fix, 5
notes. All applied:
BLOCKER B1 — the shared gmPanelUI host (0x100005FE) IS retail's own
outer window frame, not a content element: its authored 310/372/310/1000
already include the 5px bevel on every side. RetailWindowFrame.Mount was
adding the NineSlice wrapper's OWN 10px chrome inset on top of that
already-chrome-inclusive source, clamping MinWidth to 320 while the
window's actual mounted outer width stayed 310 — silently below its own
minimum until RetailWindowManager.ResizeTo forcibly widened it despite
ResizeX=false. Fixed with a new
RetailWindowFrame.Options.DatConstraintSourceIsOuterFrame opt-out
(chrome inset = 0 for constraint resolution only, value stays
DAT-sourced); MountCharacter sets it true. Mounted clamp is now exactly
the host's four raw values: width fixed 310, height 372..1000. Added a
mount-time invariant (throws if the mounted outer extent falls outside
its own just-computed clamp) that would have caught this at the first
test run.
S4 (campaign-lead ruling) — the window must MOUNT at retail's authored
default, outer 372 (content 362, matching the host's own content parent
0x10000180), not 0x2100002E's own 300x600 content-authoring canvas
(which produced a stale 610px default pre-fix: 600 + 10 chrome inset).
372 is exactly the host's own authored MinHeight — retail opens at its
resize floor and can only be dragged taller. MountCharacter now sets
ContentHeight=362f explicitly. At this default the 9 attribute/vital
rows (180px) overflow the 160px list immediately — retail-correct, not
a regression.
S2 — 0x1000023E and 0x10000533 both author property 0x79
(HideWhenDisabled) TRUE (fixture-verified: BoolValue=true on both). A
fitting list HIDES the scrollbar entirely; it does not draw a full-track
"disabled" thumb. The code was already correct; four wrong descriptions
(plan ledger, CharacterStatController comment, CT7 script, test comment)
are corrected, plus a new IsPresentationVisible assertion pair in the
resize test.
S3 — CharacterTitlesController's `if (listBox.LayoutPolicy is null)`
Anchors fallback was unreachable on both the real DAT and the fixture
(0x10000532/0x10000539 both author HasOriginalParentSize=true, so
LayoutPolicy is always assigned). Deleted; added an InstalledDatFact pin
guarding the deletion against DAT drift.
N4 — renamed NineSlice_ChatShapedConstraints_... to
NineSlice_ContentShapedConstraints_InsetArithmeticClampsProgrammaticResize
(it tested inset arithmetic on a content-shaped source, not chat's real
contract) and added a true chat-contract pin mounting Chrome=Imported
with chat's real 300/100/2000/2000 constraints, asserting no inset
applies.
N5 — corrected the "nothing inferred, no register row" sentences in the
ground-truth doc and plan ledger: they were false pre-fix (the mounted
clamp WAS an inferred double-counted composition); true now that B1
removes the composition.
CT7 script §4 rewritten with exact clamps (no "≈"), the corrected
default-overflow scrollbar behavior, and an absolute starting-height
statement.
Verified: full hermetic solution suite green (15,441 tests, Release,
Lane exclusions per the release gate), InstalledDat lane green across
the whole solution (414 tests, ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1,
Status!=KnownFailure) including two new pins
(TitlesListAndPage_AuthorHasOriginalParentSize,
Imported_ChatContract_ClampsAtAuthoredBoundsWithNoChromeInset).

CT6 (Campaign CT slice 6): the resize clamp source is the SHARED
gmPanelUI host (0x100005FE in LayoutDesc 0x2100006E), not 0x2100002E's
own root and not the Character/Skills slot 0x1000018E either — live
probe confirmed the host authors MinWidth=MaxWidth=310 (fixed — no
horizontal Resizebar authored), MinHeight=372, MaxHeight=1000, and that
the bottom Resizebar (0x10000660) and top Dragbar (0x1000065C) are
direct children of the host, not the content parent. Decomp chain:
UIElement_Resizebar::StartMouseResizing @0x0046B7E0 calls
UIElement::StartResizing(this->GetParent(), ...), stashing drag state on
that parent; UIElement::MouseResizeElement @0x00461130 then reads
GetAttribute_Int(this, 0x3C..0x3F) off that same element every
mouse-move.
RetailUiRuntime.MountCharacter now imports the host element and passes
it as RetailWindowFrame.Options.DatConstraintSource, matching the
existing MountSideVitals pattern.
CharacterStatController.RebuildActiveList now wraps BOTH the Attributes
and Skills tabs' rows in the same UiScrollablePanel viewport (previously
only Skills got one; Attributes rows had no clipping/scrolling and the
shared scrollbar was force-hidden — owner report item 2). The shared
scrollbar is now always bound + visible; UiScrollbar's own
IsPresentationVisible/IsModelDisabled already draw the correct
full-track "disabled" thumb when content fits. This surfaced and fixed
a real #372/#412-class anchor-baseline bug: the viewport's
Left|Top|Bottom anchor was capturing its baseline margins lazily on its
own first ApplyAnchor call, which happens AFTER the ListBox has already
grown from its raw DAT height to its mounted height, permanently
capping the viewport short on every later resize. Fixed with an eager
CaptureCurrentAnchorBaseline() call, mirroring UiTemplateListBox
.Viewport's own lazy getter.
CharacterTitlesController.Bind gained the same defensive
Anchors = Left|Top|Bottom fallback for the Titles ListBox that
CharacterStatController already had (a no-op on the real DAT — both the
Titles page and its ListBox already carry a real authored LayoutPolicy
that stretches correctly).
Standardization audit: UiElement.MinWidth/MinHeight/MaxWidth/MaxHeight,
set once at RetailWindowFrame.Mount, are the ONLY clamp fields — read
identically by interactive drag, RetailWindowManager.ResizeTo, and
RetailWindowLayoutPersistence's restore clamp. No gaps found; no
register row (every number is a live-probed authored DAT value or a
structural correctness fix, nothing inferred).
Tests: CharacterStatControllerTests
.CharacterWindow_ResizesYWithinAuthoredHostClamp_AndReflowsListAndScrollbar,
CharacterTitlesControllerTests
.TitlesList_ReflowsWithWindowResize_AndScrollbarOverflowFlips,
RetailWindowFrameTests
.NineSlice_ChatShapedConstraints_ClampProgrammaticResizeAtAuthoredBounds
(shared-mechanism regression pin), CharacterPanelLiveDatTests
.PanelHost_AuthorsFixedWidthAndBottomOnlyResizeContract (InstalledDat
pin). Existing attribute-row tests updated from list.Children to
Descendants(list) for the new nested-viewport shape (the pattern skill
rows already needed).

Applies the Opus dual-lens review corrections to CT1's DAT ground-truth
research (docs/research/2026-08-24-campaign-ct-dat-ground-truth.md):
- Window constraints (BLOCKER): replaced the "likely a hardcoded
ResizeTo/SetMinSize" guess with the verified mechanism —
UIElement::ResizeTo clamps only via element attributes 0x3C-0x3F,
nothing writes them at runtime, and retail resizes the SHARED
gmPanelUI host (LayoutDesc 0x2100006E, slot 0x1000018E) rather than
0x2100002E's own content root. Flags the unresolved 300x600-vs-300x362
size tension for CT3/CT6 and marks the host elements NOT PROBED by
CT1.
- RowHighlightSprite upgraded from a flagged hedge to a SEALED VERDICT:
the stat row's selected-state media is 0x06000F93
(gmAttributeUI::UpdateSelection -> InfoRegion::SetState on template
0x10000248), not 0x06001397 (which is legitimately the spellbook
row's separate selected-overlay mechanism). Falsifies the matching
comment in CharacterStatController.cs and dated-corrects the older
2026-06-26 doc at the spot that originated the wrong sprite id.
- Replaced the "18px gutter + 7px = 25px" derived story with the bare
authored rectangles (the numbers don't compose cleanly: 300-281=19,
and the 282px row overlaps the 281px scrollbar band by 1px) — CT5
must implement the authored numbers directly, never a derived
listWidth-18 formula.
- Plan doc: corrected the UpdateButtons ghost rule (no selection ->
Ghosted, not "ghosts when selected == current") and added the
AddTitleToList row-write contract for CT3.
- Pins: CharacterPanelLiveDatTests now honors ACDREAM_DAT_DIR first
(matching InstalledDatFactAttribute and its sibling live-DAT test
classes), hoists five vacuous bare-foreach assertions to counted
.ToList() pins, and adds the stat ListBox + scrollbar rect pins that
CT5/CT6 depend on.
- Doc hygiene: marked several probe-session observations (header
geometry "identical" claim, 0x06004CC2 characterization, the
master-map/category-map dump) as unpinned inference vs. committed
fact, corrected the 0x1000052D "throwaway container" mislabel, and
stated the header table's parent-relative coordinate frame.
- Recorded the CT5 gold this round found: InfoRegion::InfoRegion's
icon-DID lookup (a third GetDIDByEnum consumer, category
0x10000002) and gmSkillUI::RebuildSkillList's section-header order
confirmation, plus the RowHeight=22-vs-authored-20 divergence for
attribute rows.
Verified: ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1 CharacterPanelLiveDatTests
filter 9/9 green; hermetic App suite filter (CI's Lane exclusion list)
6111/6111 green. No production code changed.

Campaign CT slice CT1 (docs/plans/2026-08-24-character-panel-parity-campaign.md):
establishes the authored ground truth for LayoutDesc 0x2100002E that CT2-CT6
build against, so those slices port against verified DAT facts instead of
guessing. No production code changed.
Header findings: the PK line is authored pure white (the CT4 bug is in
CharacterStatController's runtime color choice, not a DAT gap); the level
color is a pale-gold (1, 0.949, 0.498) WITH an authored outline, diverging
from the current hardcoded Gold constant. The stat ListBox's row-template
list (LayoutDesc 0x21000045) is unreachable via the whole-layout
ImportInfos overload (the #375 same-layout template-list skip filter) --
the targeted ImportInfos(dats, layoutId, elementId) overload is required,
same as UiTemplateListBox's TemplateResolver already uses. The shared
attribute/skill row template (0x10000248) authors a 20x20 icon flush at
X=0 (current code: 16x16 at X=4), fixed 150px/100px name/value columns at
X=25/X=175 (current code: a width-fraction split), and a 7px gap between
the value's right edge and the row's own edge -- the scrollbar-gutter
margin the owner reported missing. The Titles page roster, row template
(LayoutDesc 0x2100005E), and window constraints are also pinned; the
character window's root authors NO min/max size properties at all (unlike
chat's self-contained window layout), and RetailUiRuntime.MountCharacter
never wires DatConstraintSource -- correcting the plan's "already in-tree"
claim for CT6.
Also derives and pins the full CharacterTitleTable::GetCharacterTitleFromID
chain (title id -> EnumMapper(0x22000041) canonical name -> compute_str_hash
-> StringTable(0x2300000E) localized text), resolved via the two-level
DBObj::GetDIDByEnum master-map indirection (0x25000000 -> category map ->
target DID) and verified end to end against ACE's CharacterTitle.WarMage=13
-> "War Mage". This independently cross-validates RetailKeyNames' existing
0x2300000A/0x2300000B/0x23000007 constants, which turn out to be the same
category-4 map's enum 4/5/3 entries.

The user-driven verification matrix for the whole advancement chain on a
scratch character: live run-speed change under a Quickness raise, the
Endurance single-record stamina fan-out, the deliberate raise-10 failure
probe that resolves the narrowed AP-73 ghost question, skill raise/train,
gem-driven specialize/lower with the confirmation dialog, and a
regression sweep. CA1-CA4 are committed and pushed; this script is the
campaign's remaining gate.

Two parallel research passes assembled with a hand-verification ledger on
every load-bearing claim.
Wire (ACE + Chorizite + holtburger, field-for-field agreement on all six
inbound layouts): PrivateUpdateAttribute 0x02E3, PrivateUpdateVital 0x02E7
(always Max-family vital ids 1/3/5), PrivateUpdateAttribute2ndLevel 0x02E9
(always current-family ids 2/4/6 — a parser must NOT treat the two as one
id space), PrivateUpdateSkill 0x02DD (ushort ranks + the hardcoded
adjustPP=1 pair, f64 lastUsedTime), PrivateUpdatePropertyInt 0x02CD
(AvailableSkillCredits=24) and Int64 0x02CF (AvailableExperience=2).
Ordered action->response chains for all four raise/train actions,
including the retail quirk that an Endurance raise pushes only a HEALTH
full-vital record and the client is expected to refresh stamina from it
too. Specialize/untrain/reset have NO dedicated opcode — item-Use plus a
confirmation round-trip reusing the same update messages. 0x02DF has no
ACE producer (verified); CA2 skips it.
Recompute (named-retail + live Ghidra): retail computes skills, vitals
maxima and run rate LIVE at inquiry time — Set* are raw-storage writes,
InqSkill re-derives from the attribute formula every call (verified in
the decompile, including the z==0 early-out that IS the attribute-less
Salvaging handling and the +10 augmentation adds), InqRunRate runs every
motion tick, and UI refresh is a value-less observer notification.
Two corrections to our own tree surfaced: PropertyString.cs's comment
claims 0x02DD (it is 0x02D5 — doc-only, nothing dispatches on it), and
SkillSnapshot.FormulaBonus is frozen at PlayerDescription parse — the
stale-cache half of #431 that CA3 replaces with the live computation.
RetailSkillFormula.TryCalculate already ports 0x00591960 exactly, so CA3
reuses it rather than porting anew.

The aurora was never missing data — it was a missing mechanism plus a
misread. New decompile evidence closes the April-2026 contradiction:
retail plays the sky carriers' PES through the Setup's own DefaultScript
(GameSky::MakeObject @0x00506EE0 -> CPhysicsObj::makeObject @0x00513970
sets state|=0x80000; animate_static_object @0x00513DF0 ticks
ScriptManager + ParticleManager). The pes_id column stays dead — that
half of the April finding stands; the ids are byte-equal mirrors.
- SkyPesFrameController is now the production owner (ACDREAM_ENABLE_SKY_PES
deleted): script ids resolve from the Setup DefaultScript
(SkyObjectData.DefaultScriptId; the pes_id column is a one-time-logged
cross-check), slots persist by (index, gfx id, properties) per
CreateDeletePhysicsObjects @0x005073C0 — a day-group swap keeping the
carrier no longer restarts its emitters — and stale slots stop before
replacements claim the slot-derived owner id.
- RetailParticleFacing ports calc_draw_frame @0x0050DFA0: degrade mode 2
faces the viewer roll-free (set_vector_heading) instead of the camera
plane; modes 3/4/5 spin the authored frame around one local axis
(rotate_around_axis_to_vector) — Dereth authors 54 mode-5 emitters that
previously got no facing at all; 1,583 mode-2 emitters get the exact
law; authored/mode-1 paths are unchanged.
- The 2026-08-23 'whole-sky tint' was the Rainy-group lightning/thunder
PES playing at the debug anchor inside their 0.03-0.19 window, not the
aurora: the aurora is nine faint viewer-facing glows pulsing on
6.7/15/55-minute rebirth cycles, in every day group, all day.

Two April stand-ins, neither registered, met at the horizon from altitude as
a hard line between the dome's rim and the fog-coloured clear:
1. sky.frag fogged every non-additive sky layer with a 0.2 floor. Retail's
GameSky::Draw @0x00506FF0 disables fixed-function fog around the whole
sky draw unless an AdminEnvirons fog override is active (SetFFFogEnable(
LScape::m_override_enabled ? 1 : 0)); additive layers stay unfogged via
SetFFFogAlphaDisabled(1) at D3DPolyRender::SetSurface 0x59c882. The sky
pass now sets ApplyFog only for (override active && !additive), with no
floor.
2. WorldRenderFrameBuilder overwrote the authored fog range with one derived
from the streaming window (538..2189 m always). Retail sets FOGSTART/
FOGEND straight from the keyframe's MinWorldFog/MaxWorldFog
(SkyDesc::GetWorldFog @0x00500CE0 -> SetFFFogProperties @0x005A2F70) with
no draw-distance scaling; zfar is a constant 4000 m. The builder now
leaves SceneLightingUbo.Build's values alone; ACDREAM_FOG_START_MULT /
_END_MULT are deleted from RuntimeOptions.
Guards: SkyFogRuleTests (source-level, the sky renderer has no hermetic
harness); sky.frag.spv re-pinned in VulkanShaderManifestTests with the
reason. Research note 2026-04-23-sky-fog.md carries a correction banner.
App hermetic 6,070/0, Core 4,707/0 (Release). Owner look gate owed: night
and rain fog are now retail's shorter authored ranges.

Closes the automated half of slice VM6 at 754d59d9 and records how it was
proven. The first pixel method (clock pin 0 s vs 3 s, wind-off pair as the
control) is recorded as confounded: the treeline silhouette carries a
bimodal 0-or-~280 px rasterisation churn between runs of the same binary,
and two conclusions drawn from it were retracted. The replacement
apparatus (same pin, wind on vs off, two captures per arm, robust mask =
AND of the four cross pairs minus both repeat pairs, shadows off so only
geometry can move) found the round-4 defect (wind welded to the shadow
gate: 1 m wind = 49-65 px vs a 22 px floor while the CPU state was
correct) and, after round 5, gives 14,993 robust wind pixels vs a 65 px
floor, every one on a treeline tree, hillside tree or shoreline bush, with
the wind-off frame matching the pre-round-4 plain pipeline at mean |d|
0.007 (round 4's eec95535: 1.77, the overhead-sun regression the narrow
review caught).

Opus narrow re-review of 51178f7c: APPROVE. Residuals closed: the AR plan
no longer says '<=1 LSB' unqualified (99.99% of pixels; 95 foliage-
silhouette pixels up to 73 LSB, 58 isolated); the campaign doc says the
same; AtmosphericColorPipelineTests now read the SHIPPED exposure/vignette
defaults from BuiltInAtmosphericRenderPack.Descriptor and the graph's named
DefaultVignetteStrengthFallback instead of literals.
Measured for the gate (offline Holtburg hillside, High defaults vs pack
off): mean luminance -17% noon, -44% dusk, p95 unchanged, clip 0.06% both;

Dated 'VM4 correction' notes, not silent rewrites:
- AR plan: NoOpRenderPackProductionIntegrationTests is a 2x2 recording-
device fixture, not a production pin; the real invariance is VM0's.
Both '14,928/14,928 zero skips' totals qualified: hermetic lane filter.
- Stage-2 connected report: the dense-town CPU figures ran under the
automation observer (9.8 MB/frame alloc) and say nothing about the
owner's hitch on the product; clean numbers are VM0's.
- Track A report + findings doc: TerrainUtils.GetNormal only orients
scenery; the render normals were already smooth; A2 replaced central
differences with retail's incident-face average (the reviewer's own
premise error).
- Findings doc: 'retail brightens' is the fallback path only; real
hardware runs the single-pass lerp (VM2). LandscapeDetailTextures = 0
answers the landscape open question. VM0 production table added as the
baseline.
- Completion audit retail-path row and the review's F1/F2/F3/F5 headers
annotated with their closures.

Opus narrow re-review of ae651312: APPROVE. Closes its three residuals:
- AP-232 filed: retail's single-pass stage-1 OUTPUT alpha
(MODULATE(TEXTURE, CURRENT) @0x0059c549) is the blend weight for a
translucent subset; acdream's two-draw model is exact for opaque
subsets (fog identity pinned) and a bounded weight difference on
translucent ones. Distinct from AP-34 (queue order). Owed since
05970306.
- TerrainAtlas.DetailSamplerDescription names the production sampler
(WRAP/LINEAR x3 per ACRender::SetDetailSurfaceInternal @0x006b6280);
the test now asserts that constant's properties instead of a
test-local copy.
- Plan VM1 section: fragment now described as fogged; VM1 marked CLOSED
with the Holtburg measurement (+2.17/+0.57/+0.16 vs predicted
+2.2/+0.66/+0.16) and the detail-on cost (+0.3-0.5 ms CPU at Arwic).

Opus dual-lens review of 05970306 + 388457a7 (APPROVE WITH FIXES). Four
items, all landed:
1. FOG (behavioural). Retail's D3D fixed-function fog stage runs AFTER the
texture-stage pipeline, so the detail contribution must be fogged, not
just the base. mesh_modern.frag already fogs the base colour
(applyFog(rgb, vWorldPos)) before mesh_detail's replay draws over it;
mesh_detail.frag previously emitted raw detail.rgb, understating fog by
f*a*(fog-detail). Fix: mesh_detail.vert now outputs vWorldPos (mirroring
mesh_modern.vert); mesh_detail.frag declares the identical SceneLighting
UBO and applyFog function (copied verbatim, same binding/std140/math) and
fogs detail.rgb before emitting it. This collapses algebraically to
retail's fog-after-combine order:
(1-a)*mix(base,fog,f) + a*mix(detail,fog,f) = mix(lerp(base,detail,a),fog,f)
RetailDetailTextureContract gains ExpectedFogged(base,detail,opacity,fog,
fogFactor); RetailDetailTextureContractTests pins the identity across 200
random samples within 1e-6.
2. EnvCellRenderer.Rhi.cs's DrawEnvCell-category comment still said "apply
the 10-50 m positive-view-depth fade" — a stale claim from before VM1
removed the fade. Replaced with the mip-chain attenuation statement that
mesh_detail.vert's header comment already carries.
3. Added the test the VM1 contract required but never had: TerrainAtlas
.TryCreateDetailTexture uploads a full mip chain (MipLevelCount ==
RhiWorldTextureArray.MipLevelsFor(w,h), GenerateMipChain called) and
registers with the repeat/linear world sampler, not single-level or
clamped. Drives the private method directly (reflection) against a
synthetic PFID_A8R8G8B8 RenderSurface through a minimal in-memory
IDatReaderWriter fake, so the lane stays hermetic (no installed DAT).
4. #226 pseudocode note: noted that retail's stage-1 OUTPUT alpha
(MODULATE(TEXTURE, CURRENT), 0x0059c549) — the framebuffer blend weight a
delayed-alpha subset composites with — is not modelled; acdream instead
draws a second pass weighted by detail.a*diffuseAlpha. Identical for
opaque subsets, a bounded difference on translucent building/EnvCell
subsets already covered by the existing AP-34 shared-alpha-queue
divergence row. Also qualified the tmpmaterial.Diffuse.a = 1f (0x0059cb99)
citation to name its exact branch (burnedInStaticLights < 0 &&
*(render_device+0x7e4) == 0); the other branch leaves diffuse FromVertex,
but the opaque->1 / fading->opacity mapping still holds either way.
Nit also folded in: EnvCellRendererTests' new SubmitRhi instance-alpha test
is now a [Theory] over WbRenderPass.Opaque and .Transparent, pinning the
bind-before-first-draw invariant on both passes.
Regenerated mesh_detail's committed SPIR-V and the shader manifest
(tools/compile-shaders.ps1); no other shader pair changed.
Verified: dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release (0 warnings, 0 errors);
dotnet test on AcDream.App.Tests (Release, hermetic lanes) green, including
the shader manifest tests explicitly; AcDream.Core.Tests unaffected/green.

VM2's live cdb read against the PDB-paired retail client (GUID
9e847e2f-777c-4bd9-886c-22256bb87f32) proved
m_caps.bCanDoSinglePassDetailing = 1 and trysinglepass = 1 on real hardware,
so D3DPolyRender::RenderMeshSubset (0x0059ca10) never falls back to the
two-pass framebuffer blend the earlier #226 port reproduced. Every loaded
CGfxObj sets use_built_mesh = 1 (CGfxObj::InitLoad 0x005346b0), so buildings
and EnvCells always take the single-pass texture-stage combine set up in
D3DPolyRender::SetSurface (0x0059c4d0):
result = lerp(base * diffuse, detail.rgb, detail.a * diffuse.a)
RenderMeshSubset lights opaque built-mesh subsets with
tmpmaterial.Diffuse.a = 1, so on the live Dereth category texture
0x06006D58 (mean rgb 0.165, mean alpha 0.132) the combine works out to
~0.868 * base + 0.022 — a mild darkening, the opposite sign of the fallback
DstColor blend's brightening.
Also removes the invented 10 m / 50 m distance fade. Retail's
ACRender::get_alpha_for_z (0x006b6230) is only evaluated in
D3DPolyRender::DrawPolyInternal (0x0059d7c0, the immediate-polygon path)
and only when the static noFadeDetail (0x00820e38, initialised to 1) is 0 —
unreachable for built meshes. Attenuation is the sampler's linear mip chain
converging to the texture mean, not a scripted ramp.
Changes:
- mesh_detail.vert/.frag: drop vDetailFade and its distance term; add
vDetailOpacity mirroring mesh_modern.vert's InstanceAlphaBuf (binding 7)
read, and output detail.rgb with alpha = detail.a * vDetailOpacity under
the corrected pipeline blend.
- VulkanViewportMapping.BlendFactorsOf / GpuEnums.GpuBlendMode.RetailDetail:
SrcAlpha + OneMinusSrcAlpha instead of DstColor + OneMinusSrcAlpha.
- RetailDetailTextureContract: replaced the distance-fade constants and
FramebufferFactor with Expected(base, detail, opacity) and IsNeutral,
matching the lerp; contract tests cover zero-alpha/zero-opacity no-ops,
the measured darkening on the live category texture, and full-alpha
replacement.
- Regenerated mesh_detail's committed SPIR-V and the shader manifest
(tools/compile-shaders.ps1); no other shader pair changed.
- Docs: #226's pseudocode note, the docs/ISSUES.md #226 entry, and the
retired TS-52 divergence-register row corrected from the two-pass
DESTCOLOR description to the single-pass path and the darkening
expectation, each citing the VM2 cdb note.
Verified: dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release (0 warnings, 0 errors);
dotnet test on AcDream.App.Tests and AcDream.Core.Tests (Release, hermetic
lanes) both green.

Exact-pixel and production-perf comparison of 6c79d35c (+ only the A2
normal files, so no terrain mask is needed) against c51b07ef with no pack:
connected as +Acdream, visible window, one isolated config clone per
variant, pinned clocks. Open field: the only differences are idle pose,
mana digits and a passing flyer. Holtburg: same-binary-twice defines the
dynamic mask (9.8%); in the static 90% both self-diffs have ZERO pixels
with |d|>=8 while base+normals vs HEAD-off has 841/729 - all streaks inside
the animated lifestone. Buildings, ground, trees, sky and UI are clean.
Perf (uncapped Release, no automation observer, ACDREAM_FRAME_PROF=1):
Holtburg CPU p50 4.7 -> 4.1 ms, Arwic 6.0 -> 5.2 ms, GPU unchanged,
alloc/frame 574 KB -> 21 KB. No regression; F5b's '27.8 ms retail CPU' was
the observer.
Three false alarms recorded so nobody repeats them: the isolated gate
settings lack fieldOfView (90 vs the real 86.33 -> a 0.952 zoom); the real
%APPDATA% settings still selected acdream.atmospheric/low (pack ON); a
minimized GLFW window is throttled and never settles.
Tools: tools/vm0/capture-visible.ps1 (pre-campaign gate + -Exe/-Live/
-ConfigDir/-CharacterName/-PreCaptureCommand), tools/vm0/perf-run.sh,
and -BuildingDetailTextures on run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1. Baseline

Live cdb read on the PDB-paired retail client (owner's AMD GPU):
m_caps.bCanDoSinglePassDetailing = 1, trysinglepass = 1,
MaxSimultaneousTextures = 8, bTexOpDotProduct3 = 1,
LandscapeDetailTextures = 0, EnvironmentDetailTextures = 1,
landscape/object detail surfaces null, building/environment non-null,
tiling 4 everywhere.
So retail's detail combine on modern hardware is the texture-stage path in
D3DPolyRender::SetSurface (stage0 alpha PREMODULATE, stage1 colour
BLENDCURRENTALPHA): lerp(base*diffuse, detail.rgb, detail.a*diffuse.a) -
a mild DARKENING (~-10% mid-tones with 0x06006D58), not the
DSTCOLOR+INVSRCALPHA brightening that Campaign AR ported and that the
2026-08-21 findings doc + AR review both analysed. Those described the
fallback for adapters without D3DTEXOPCAPS_PREMODULATE; the reviewer's
guess that consumer drivers rarely advertised it was wrong.
VM1 now carries the re-port (SRCALPHA+INVSRCALPHA, detail.rgb /
detail.a*diffuseAlpha, neutral at a==0) together with the fade removal.
No distance fade exists on either path. Scripts are read-only attaches
with no breakpoints.

Adds the independent Campaign AR review (docs/research/2026-08-22-campaign-
ar-review.md): architecture, technical correctness, performance, coverage.
Findings F1-F8; F1 (default-path invariance proven only on a 2x2 recording-
device oracle) blocks merge; F2 (10 m/50 m detail fade has no retail anchor);
F3 (the port is retail's two-pass fallback; single-pass stage path
undetermined); F4 (post stack runs in gamma space); F5 (four overclaiming
sentences, one premise error the reviewer owns).
Campaign VM plans the closure: VM0 masked pixel + production perf A/B vs
6c79d35c; VM1 removes the fade (retail attenuates by mips); VM2 one cdb read
of m_caps.bCanDoSinglePassDetailing; VM3 linear-light post stack with a
numerically neutral preset; VM4 truthful docs; VM5 volumetric jitter; VM6
weather-driven foliage wind - procedural-scenery (bit-31 id namespace) cutout
subsets only, three motions (lean/branch/flutter) with gusts and per-tree
phase, shadows share the displacement include; VM7 closeout + merge.
Roadmap gains the Campaign VM pointer beside Campaign AR.

Measured, not theorised. Records for the next session:
- #226 detail overlay is NOT implemented at 255b0aae, and the
BuildingDetailTextures Options checkbox is wired to NOTHING (settings +
UI exist; no consumer in Rendering/). The port must consume that
existing setting.
- Retail authors detail per terrain entry; Dereth has 33 entries but only
3 distinct detail textures, one 64x64 backing 88% of them.
- The detail pass is a framebuffer blend, not DOT3: environment uses
DSTCOLOR+INVSRCALPHA under BLENDOP_ADD, landscape uses SRCALPHA. Decoded
texture means give factors 1.03-1.20, so retail's own pass BRIGHTENS
rather than roughens - a real design decision for the port.
- EnvironmentDetailTextures gates buildings+interiors, NOT landscape
(ChangeRegion passes landscape=0).
- Refuted and recorded so nobody re-chases: highres is NOT an override dat
(20,684/2,294 ids, zero overlap - we already use it); the detail
textures are NOT normal maps (24%/8%/15% unit-length); but the engine
DOES have BumpMap/DotProduct3 machinery.
- Terrain normals are flat per-face with no averaging - whether retail
smooths is the open parity question.
- Atmospheric rendering want captured: opt-in shader packs, tier table,
and the shadow constraints (alpha-tested casters, animated casters via
the N.5 SSBO, indoor gating, streaming-bounded cascades, the #129 bias
trap, and the shadow_objects naming trap).

The user set the goal: complete retail parity for the chat system AND the chat
GUI, not just the green clickable name that started the review. Plan restated
around that bar, with a definition of done — every retail behaviour either
implemented or carrying a divergence-register row, every user-visible surface
covered by a test, and the digest/ISSUES describing reality.
Slices regrouped into A (the tagged-text capability, a strict chain where
nothing is visible until A4), B (system behaviours), C (GUI), D (hygiene), plus
the research still owed before specific slices and what is deliberately out of
scope.
Four items joined the plan that the original six lanes did not own, because
they fell between lanes:
- the /r, /t, /tell text-replacement macro (the commands work; retail's
VISIBLE expansion to "@tell {LastTeller}, " does not exist)
- FilterLanguage, which is a decorative toggle: we store it, ship the bit and
show it in Options, and never actually filter anything
- the plain-text session chat log retail writes and we do not
- the option-gated timestamp prefix
Also corrects the CH3 command-registry research note. Its "acdream status"
columns are from before slice CH4 and list 13 verbs as MISSING that have all
since been added — cg, soc, o, co-vassals, fellows, group, party, vassal, ab,
guild, ct, clfg, crp — and its DIVERGENT row for /g is likewise stale: acdream
maps /g to Fellowship, matching retail, confirmed against the live client
today. The retail side of that document is still the authority; only the
columns describing us were wrong. They misled this session's investigation,
which is exactly why the banner says to verify against ChatInputParser.cs.
Nothing implemented.

Six parallel research lanes on retail's chat text and window behaviour, plus a
plan. The headline: the green clickable speaker name is not a chat feature and
not a colour, it is a missing capability in the TEXT stack.
Retail's client sprintfs literal tag markup into the chat line, and the text
element parses the brackets while appending, attaching a ref-counted tag PER
GLYPH. A tagged run is emergent: adjacent glyphs whose tag pointers are equal.
A glyph takes the tag colour (property 0x1D) only when a tag is open and its
type is 0x10000001; otherwise the ordinary line colour (0x1B).
The colour itself was the one thing the decomp could not settle — it is
authored, not runtime-built — so it was MEASURED out of the installed dats
rather than assumed from a screenshot: P0x1D = RGB(0,178,0). That also exposed
a trap: the tag colour is per-ELEMENT and authored while the line colour on the
same element comes from the runtime chat table, so filing "tag green" into the
LogTextType table would put it in the wrong place.
Our own audit found the gap is narrower than feared. UiText ALREADY draws
multi-coloured runs (the character stat panel uses it); the path is just gated
to single-line elements. The draw path needs no renderer work, and HitChar
already resolves a click to line+column. The real blocker is that sender
identity is destroyed before it reaches the renderer: ChatEntry carries
Sender/SenderGuid the whole way, and ChatVM.RecentLinesDetailed drops both.
Two findings beyond the original question. Retail BOUNDS its transcript
(10,000 chars, trimmed to ~7,500 at a newline) and splits auto-scroll from an
unread indicator by sampling "was at bottom" before the line lands — a naive
port auto-scrolls forever and leaks for the life of a session. And the chat-UI
audit turned up an untracked bug: Escape in the chat input does nothing at all,
because UiField has no Escape case and a focused field also suppresses the
input dispatcher's fallback.
Every lane was instructed to write "UNKNOWN — needs X" rather than guess, and
they did; the carried unknowns are listed in the plan rather than papered over.
Seven slices proposed, nothing implemented yet.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The chat deep-dive proved the MECHANISM behind retail's green clickable
speaker name — a glyph tag coloured from property 0x1D rather than the line's
own 0x1B — but not the colour itself: BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0
builds only the 0x1B array, so the value is authored rather than runtime-built
and the research correctly returned "UNKNOWN" instead of assuming the green in
a screenshot.
--colors prints the 0x1B/0x1D arrays of every element in a layout, which
measures it out of the installed dats:
chat 0x2100006F, transcript 0x10000011
P0x1B [0x00] R=204 G=204 B=204
P0x1D [0x00] R= 0 G=178 B= 0 <- the green
Recorded in the research note, including the trap it exposes: the tag colour is
per-ELEMENT and authored, while the line colour on that same element comes from
the runtime chat table. Filing "tag green" into the LogTextType colour table
would put it in the wrong place entirely.

The requirements research from 2026-07-29 was nearly lost: it lives in a
session titled "graphics" because it was one strand of a session about
something else, and could not be found again by any search. The research
itself was committed (6077ce4d) and survived; this makes it findable and
usable by a session picking the work up cold.
Contents: reading order, the architectural conclusion not to relitigate
(VTank's meta FSM, expressions and loot engine are plugin-land, not
host-land; the K2 headless triad is already the right substrate), the
five dependency-ordered steps, every relevant file path, and the project
rules that bind the work.
Two things the handoff adds beyond relaying the research. First, a
changed-since section: three of the research's "gap" rows have closed —
vendor landed 2026-08-08, fellowship 2026-08-12, secure trade 2026-08-14 —
so step 4's substrate is materially stronger than when the plan was
written, and §3's gap table is the part that has aged. Second, every path
is verified against the live tree as of today rather than copied forward:
WorldEntitySnapshot is still exactly four fields, IPluginHost is unchanged,
there is still no enchantment-enumerating view and no point-goal movement
primitive, and IHeadlessBotPolicy is internal to AcDream.Headless so step 1
mirrors its shape rather than re-exporting the type.
All 30 path references were checked programmatically. Also records that
claude-memory/ is a junction that resolves in the main checkout but not
inside a worktree, which would otherwise read as a broken pointer.

The prior PlaceMarker() reading ("center at markerX0+x") was wrong.
Binary Ninja elides gmMapUI::PlaceMarkerOnMap @0x004a18b0's entire FPU
chain to bare, operand-less _ftol2() calls, so the pseudo-C
under-specifies the function. A capstone disassembly of the raw bytes
in the PDB-paired acclient.exe recovers the real formula: retail
projects the AC display coordinate (range ~-102.4..102.4) onto the
marker-area rect via a fixed-point-style transform, not a raw pixel
add:
X = m_x0 - w/2 - (int)((m_x1-m_x0+1) * (x*10+1024) * (-1/2048))
Y = m_y0 - h/2 - (int)((m_y1-m_y0+1) * (2047-(y*10+1024)) * (-1/2048))
Constants read directly from .rdata: 0x79bac8=10.0, 0x7aac78=1024.0,
0x7aac70=-1/2048, 0x7aac68=2047.0. The Y axis's FSUBR is retail's
north-up flip. w/h halve with truncating integer division (matching
retail's cdq;sub;sar idiom), not float division.
Extracted the pure math into MapPageController.ComputeMarkerPosition
so it's directly testable, and retargeted MapPageControllerTests to
GOLDEN PIXEL values computed independently from the formula (never
from the port's own output): the reviewer's canonical (0,0)->(122,128)
case, a far-west and far-north case, and a real town-table entry
(Arwic's landblock, cross-checked against RadarCoordinates). Applies
to the green ring, house pin, and all 53 static town hotspots, which
all resolve through the same PlaceMarker call.
Corrected the recon doc's "accepted as-is" note, which had mistaken
"the FPU argument-passing is BN-mangled" for a narrow issue instead of
the whole-formula elision it actually was.

Saves the overnight-round recon (embedded findings + this session's desk
verification) for auditability before implementation starts. Corrects two
handoff claims: the panel id is 16 (already resolved by the existing FA
campaign's full 16-slot gmPanelUI::SetupChildren dump, not a guess from
{1,2,6,14}), and GameEventType already defines all four House opcodes
(0x0225-0x0228) — what's missing is routing, not the enum. Identifies that
LandDefs.GidToLcoord/LcoordToGid (src/AcDream.Core/Physics/LandDefs.cs) is
an existing tested port of LandDefs::gid_to_lcoord, reusable for both the
Map tab's coordinate math and the House location display — no re-port
needed. Cites the toolbar button (0x1000019A, panel id 16), the 53-entry
s_rgLocations marker table verbatim, the ServerPosition wire struct reuse
for HouseData.Position, and the AuthoredTooltipText/RetailTooltipPresenter
seam that will close register row TS-85's last item (gmMapUI::AddMapNote).

Four visual residuals from the lead's own live-client captures of
1.0.2-cc.m, all root-caused via decomp + live-DAT evidence:
- R4-1: Skills credits value overlapped mid-caption again. Root cause
was a missing UiLayoutPolicy raw-edge reflow on UiButton's value-child
rect (the child is base-inherited across four sibling buttons of
differing widths, so its baked-in OriginalParentWidth diverges from
the actual 231px-wide Skills credits button) plus an HJustify.Right
value child mapped to Center instead of a real far-edge Right.
- R4-2: the single-sprite scrollbar thumb tiled (GL_REPEAT) instead of
drawing once — DrawTiled was reused for a small fixed marker graphic
whose native size is far smaller than the track-proportional thumb
rect. New DrawThumbMarker draws exactly one native-size instance.
- R4-3: the skills info-box formula line clipped past the surrounding
gold frame's own authored bottom edge (the pane's own raw box is 20px
taller than the frame that visually contains it) — clamp the pane's
Height to the frame's bottom (register AD-105, since retail's
ShowSkillsText has no code relationship to the frame to cite).
- R4-4: the Appearance help text started mid-sentence — the box was
never touched by its page controller, so it kept UiText's chat-style
PreserveEndOnLayout=true default; the scroll model's wasAtEnd check is
vacuously true on its first-ever overflow transition, pinning the
first render to the bottom. Set PreserveEndOnLayout=false (a static
top-oriented report, not a transcript) and wired the box's own nested
authored scrollbar, never wired before.
App suite live-DAT env 5372/3 -> 5379/3 (+7, zero regressions). Runtime
1735/0 unchanged. Full solution 14585/4 skips/1 failure (the documented
Core.Net NakEmission full-solution-only flake, confirmed standalone-pass).

R3-8: dumped EVERY property present on 0x10000402 (not just P0x17) across
every state, cross-referenced against UIElement_Text::OnSetAttribute's
complete case list (no UIElement_TextInput class exists in retail — the
name field is a plain UIElement_Text/m_filter-bearing field). The full
recognized-property space has no placeholder/prompt mechanism independent
of P0x17. The BaseElement/prototype-inheritance hypothesis is also ruled
out — the existing regression test already probes the fully-merged
ElementInfo (post BaseElement resolution) and finds nothing. The only
StringInfo-kind property present, 0x49, resolves to "Your name can be 32
characters long and cannot contain numbers or symbols." — but 0x49 is
part of the same five-property tooltip family ISSUES #409/GF-16 already
document client-wide (0x48's own DID, 0x21000041, is the EXACT tooltip
popup LayoutDesc #409 cites) — a hover tooltip, not an in-field
placeholder. No code change, per this batch's own "do not invent a
placeholder" contract — third independent negative result on this
question via three different mechanisms. The lead should request a live
retail screenshot before any further investigation.
Also carries the shared live-DAT regression suite for R3-1 through R3-7
(CharacterCreationLiveDatTests.cs holds tests spanning multiple findings
in one file, so they land together) and the RE-TEST 2 findings-doc
closeout writeup for all eight items.
App suite live-DAT env 5358/3 -> 5372/3 (+14, zero regressions). Runtime
1735/0 unchanged (untouched this round). Full solution: 14578 tests / 4
skips / 0 failures.

Doc-only findings from the round review, plus the register rows the
three code commits' own bookkeeping notes reference:
- F3: AP-229 amended with the dialog-as-sibling z-order addendum — the
same flat-sibling-list mechanism that motivates AP-229's own screen-
layering row also covers RetailDialogFactory's open dialogs, which was
GF-15's actual root cause (now fixed, but the underlying divergence —
dialogs and screens sharing one z-order list at all — remains and
could reintroduce the same failure class via a future sibling's own
unconditional per-tick BringToFront).
- F5/F6: AP-230 amended with the second narrow-honor addendum (the
LayoutImporter carve-out fix landed in the Group 3 code commit); the
findings doc's "CHAT INPUT" label corrected to "chat transcript" in
both places it appeared (0x2100006F/0x10000011 is the transcript
display, not the input textbox).
- F12: the AD section header recounted 77 -> 79 (a direct physical count
found it undercounted by 2); the AP section header's own "one high"
drift-direction note corrected to "one low" — verified against the
actual commit history (Batch A ended with 165 physical rows but a 164
header; Batch B's recount correctly landed on 164, the header was
never overcounting).
- F15: ISSUES.md #406 gains the crash-vs-incomplete-shutdown precedence
sentence — ReportExited's _runFailure check runs first and returns
immediately, so a crash always wins over a subsequently-failed
shutdown for the same session's reported reason.
- AP-231 filed (the Group 2 commit's own ComposeFormula connector-text
approximation — referenced in that commit's message but the register
row itself was missed until this pass; 161 active AP rows).
- Campaign CC plan ledger gains a "Gate round 1" row with the full
commit list for batches A-G plus this session's three closeout
commits, superseding the ledger's stale "sole remaining acceptance
step" framing (written before the connected gate ran and found the
GF-1..GF-16 / R2-1..R2-8 findings this whole round fixed).
