Map synthetic move and resize affordances to the exact DAT cursors, make chat top chrome movable, and replace stale primary-panel height caps with a dynamic screen-edge constraint. This keeps the retained wrapper adaptation aligned with retail Dragbar/Resizebar behavior.
Keep retail's underlay-free m_pDragIcon separate from the full cell icon and reveal the authored ghost mesh on physical source cells for the complete drag lifecycle. This removes the backpack backing from the cursor and retires AP-47.

Preserve pixel scroll offsets across inventory rebuilds, crop partially visible rows with nested geometry/UV clips, and replace the obsolete 560px resize ceiling with available screen height. Keep retail's row-sized wheel step while allowing continuous scrollbar thumb positions.

Visual gate round 2 (user, retail oracle): the target cursor over UI must
be the 0x27 four-arrows PENDING cursor — retail's UpdateCursorState
(0x00564630) keys valid/invalid solely off the SmartBox found object,
i.e. the WORLD entity under the cursor. And "can't heal myself" turned
out to be TWO stacked causes, both fixed:
- Cursor: UI hover no longer forces TargetInvalid (that arm was a
non-retail invention) and the doll/status-bar hover providers are
gone (UiElement.UseTargetGuidProvider deleted). Valid/invalid now
come from (a) a hovered occupied item slot's own item, or (b) the
world entity under the cursor via a new worldTargetProvider — the
B.4b screen-rect picker extracted into GameWindow.PickWorldGuidAtCursor
and shared by click + hover.
- Self-heal: the world picker always skipped the local player
(skipServerGuid), so clicking your own toon in target mode could
never acquire self. Target-use picks now include self (retail lets
you kit-heal yourself by clicking your character); plain selection
keeps the exclusion. The doll click still self-targets.
- Silent refusals: the [use-target] log proved the UseWithTarget action
WAS sent (kit 0x00220008 / TargetType 0x10, target self) — ACE
refused with WeenieError.YouArentTrainedInHealing (0x04FC) and we
never parsed UseDone (0x01C7). Now dispatched + surfaced as a chat
line via WeenieErrorText (interim subset map, register AP-74, #166
ports the retail String-table lookup).
Full suite green (3,295).

Lands the codex-worktree D.2b stream plus the extraction the 2026-07-02
UI architecture review mandated before commit:
- ItemInteractionController: single owner of double-click use/equip/
container-open, targeted-use mode (health kits), drag-out drop;
toolbar shortcut drags don't drop the real item. ItemEquipRules for
multi-slot (coat) coverage via equip masks.
- Cursor phase: CursorFeedbackController (semantic priority chain:
drag > resize > window-move > target-mode > text) + RetailCursorCatalog
(enums 0x27/0x28/0x29, hotspot 14,14; ClientUISystem::UpdateCursorState
0x00564630) resolved through the portal EnumIDMap chain by
RetailCursorResolver; RetailCursorManager applies dat cursor art to the
OS cursor. Register row AP-72 covers the OS standard-cursor fallback.
- Character window goes live: CharacterSheetProvider owns sheet assembly,
XP-curve/raise-cost math and the raise flow — extracted out of
GameWindow per Code Structure Rule 1 instead of committing the ~430-line
feature body there. Optimistic XP/credit debits go through eventful
store APIs (new ClientObjectTable.UpdateInt64Property +
LocalPlayerState.DebitIntProperty/DebitInt64Property) instead of raw
property-dictionary writes; register row AP-73 covers the still-missing
raise ledger (#163).
- RetailWindowFrame: the shared nine-slice window mount recipe; the
character window uses it, remaining windows migrate via #164.
- Status-bar buttons toggle inventory/character windows; retail row-major
backpack ordering; WorldSession.SendUseWithTarget + raise/train sends.
GameWindow shrinks 14,214 -> 13,877 lines despite the new features; the
sheet/raise logic is unit-tested in CharacterSheetProviderTests instead
of trapped in the god object. Build green; full suite 3,286 tests pass.

Visual gate 2 (user): the "Slots" toggle caption was visible but unclickable.
Root cause (UiRoot.OnMouseDown/OnMouseUp): a left-press on a non-drag-source
widget inside a whole-window-Draggable frame (the inventory window's IA-12
drag) set _windowDragTarget; OnMouseUp then early-returned before emitting the
Click. So the paperdoll Slots button (the first plain button inside the
draggable inventory frame) never received its click. Chat/toolbar buttons
escape this — their frames aren't whole-window-draggable.
Fix (toolkit, root cause not band-aid): add UiElement.HandlesClick (a virtual
opt-out parallel to IsDragSource); UiButton overrides it true; OnMouseDown
routes a HandlesClick press to the widget (like CapturesPointerDrag) instead of
the window-drag, so OnMouseUp emits the Click. 2 regression tests lock it
(HandlesClick widget in a Draggable frame emits Click; a plain one doesn't).
Build + full App suite green (596, +2).

UiElement.MaxHeight + ResizableEdges mask; UiCollapsibleFrame snaps height to the nearer
of {collapsed,expanded} and toggles row-2 visibility; GameWindow computes the two heights
from the layout + top-anchors the content. Amends IA-17. UiNineSlicePanel unsealed to
allow subclassing.

Found at visual verification: an occupied UiItemSlot sits inside the Draggable
toolbar frame (UiNineSlicePanel.Draggable=true), so UiRoot.OnMouseDown's FindWindow
returned the frame and the window-move branch won — press+drag on a slot moved the
whole bar instead of picking up the item. The slot wasn't CapturesPointerDrag (that
path is for self-driven text-selection and suppresses the BeginDrag promotion), and
UiRoot had no path for "a drag-source inside a draggable window."
Fix: add UiElement.IsDragSource (virtual, default false); UiItemSlot overrides it to
`ItemId != 0` (occupancy-gated). UiRoot.OnMouseDown now prioritizes IsDragSource over
window-move — an OCCUPIED slot starts the item drag (promotes to BeginDrag on >3px),
an EMPTY slot falls through to the IA-12 whole-window-drag so the bar stays movable
by its empty cells / chrome. UiRoot stays item-agnostic (reads only the bool). This
REDUCES divergence (occupied cells now drag like retail) within IA-12's umbrella — no
new register row.
Regression tests reproduce the LIVE topology (slot inside a Draggable frame); the
earlier RootWithBoundSlot tests put the slot directly under the root, so they could
not catch it. Full suite 493 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.

- UiElement: two new virtuals GetDragPayload()/GetDragGhost() (default null)
keep UiRoot item-agnostic; any leaf can opt into drag by overriding these.
- UiItemSlot: SlotIndex + SourceKind properties for payload identity; two
overrides return ItemDragPayload / icon ghost when the slot is occupied.
FindList() walks the parent chain to locate the owning UiItemList and its
registered IItemListDragHandler.
- UiItemSlot.OnEvent: MouseDown now just consumes the press; use-item fires
on Click (mouse-up) so a drag doesn't also trigger the use-item callback.
DragEnter → ask handler, set Accept/Reject overlay. DragOver → reset to
None (fires on leave). DropReleased → clear overlay + dispatch to handler
when Data0 == 1 (accepted). DragBegin consumed (source).
- OnDraw: accept/reject sprite overlay drawn last, guarded on id != 0 to
avoid the resolve(0)-→-magenta footgun.
- ToolbarControllerTests: Click_emitsUseForBoundItem changed from MouseDown
to Click to match the new dispatch.
- 12 new DragDropSpineTests pass; full suite 481/483 (2 pre-existing skips).

UiNineSlicePanel drew its full chrome in OnDraw, before children, so content painted OVER the frame. The toolbar's row-2 right cap (0x100006C0, W=8) extends 2px past the 300px content and was poking over the frame's bottom-right border (the 'missing frame' the user circled). Split the panel: center fill stays in OnDraw (background, under content); the bevel border + grip move to a new UiElement.OnDrawAfterChildren hook (foreground, over content edges) so the frame is the outermost layer. Chat is unaffected (its content is inset 5px, so the border never overlaps it).

The generalized channel menu wouldn't open: the factory recursed the Type-6
menu element's dat children, building its invisible Type-12 label child as a
UiText. Hit-testing is children-first and UiText consumes MouseDown (selection),
so the label child swallowed the menu button click and the dropdown never opened.
The transcript similarly gained an invisible Ghosted-button child (a 16x16
selection dead-zone). The old hand-made build never had these — it skipped Type 12
and hand-placed the widgets with no children.
Fix: behavioral widgets (Meter/Menu/Button/Scrollbar/Text/Field) draw their full
appearance and reproduce their dat sub-elements procedurally, so they are LEAF —
the importer must not build their dat children as separate (click-stealing)
widgets. Add UiElement.ConsumesDatChildren (default false; the 6 behavioral
widgets override true) and gate LayoutImporter recursion on it (replacing the
UiMeter-only special case). Only generic containers (UiDatElement, panels) recurse.
Visually confirmed in the live client (channel menu opens; General/Trade selected
and sent). Vitals unchanged (UiMeter was already leaf). Full suite: 404 passed.

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).

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.
Build + 392 App tests green. Visual confirmation in progress.

@
Windows-like selection in the retail chat window: left-click-drag selects
characters, Ctrl-C copies, Ctrl-A selects all. The selected span paints a
translucent highlight behind the text.
- UiElement.CapturesPointerDrag: a per-element opt-out so an interior drag is
delivered to the widget (text selection) instead of moving/resizing the host
window. UiRoot.OnMouseDown honours it AFTER edge-resize (a resizable window
is still resizable from its frame) and BEFORE window-move.
- UiChatView: AcceptsFocus + IsEditControl + CapturesPointerDrag; caches the
OnDraw layout so OnEvent hit-tests the same geometry; HitChar maps a local
point to (line,col) with glyph-midpoint caret snapping; SelectedText joins a
multi-line span with \n; Ctrl-C writes to IKeyboard.ClipboardText (only when
non-empty, so an empty copy never clobbers the clipboard).
- UiHost exposes the wired IKeyboard (clipboard + Ctrl modifier state).
Adversarial-review fix (the 99 tests would have stayed green without it): a
coordinate-frame mismatch between MouseDown and MouseMove. UiRoot.OnMouseDown
dispatched HitTestTopDown's coords, which are relative to the TOP-LEVEL child,
while MouseMove/MouseUp use target.ScreenPosition. For the chat view inset at
(8,8) inside its window the anchor landed ~8px off the click. OnMouseDown now
delivers target-LOCAL coords like the other mouse events. Added a UiRoot
regression test asserting MouseDown and MouseMove share the target-local frame
for a nested child.
Decomp ref: SurfaceWindow text/selection model; clipboard via Silk.NET
IKeyboard.ClipboardText. Built with the chat-select-copy implement->review
workflow.

Add AnchorEdges [Flags] enum and Anchors property (default Left|Top, so
all existing elements are unchanged) to UiElement. ApplyAnchor() captures
the design-time margins on first call then recomputes Left/Top/Width/Height
each frame; DrawSelfAndChildren drives it for every child before painting.
ComputeAnchoredRect is public + static so it can be unit-tested without a
running frame loop.
MarkupDocument.Build gains a private Anchor() CSV parser and threads it
into the <meter> initializer via the anchor= attribute.
vitals.xml: remove title="Vitals" (retail vitals has no heading) and add
anchor="left,top,right" to all three meter bars so they stretch when the
panel is dragged wider.
Two new xUnit tests in UiRootInputTests: Left+Right stretches width;
Left+Top only keeps fixed size. All 19 App.Tests green.

Add ResizeX/ResizeY bool properties to UiElement (both true by default).
HitEdges() in UiRoot masks out locked axes after edge detection, so a
locked edge falls through to window-move behaviour — matching retail,
where the vitals bar height is fixed and only widens.
MarkupDocument.Build() parses an optional resize="x|y|both|none"
attribute on <panel>; vitals.xml gets resize="x" to enforce the
horizontal-only constraint in all instances of the panel.
Two new tests: HitEdges_RespectsResizeAxisLock (UiRootInputTests) and
Build_ResizeAttrX_SetsHorizontalOnly (MarkupDocumentTests). 11/11 green.

Add parallel resize mode to the UiRoot retained-mode input state machine.
A left-drag starting within ResizeGrip=5px of a Resizable window's edge or
corner resizes it (min-size clamped); interior drags on a Draggable window
still reposition it.
Changes:
- UiElement: Resizable, MinWidth, MinHeight properties
- UiRoot: ResizeEdges flags enum; _resizeTarget state fields; FindWindow
(replaces FindDraggable, matches Draggable||Resizable); HitEdges (static,
internal, testable); ResizeRect (static, public, testable); OnMouseDown
checks edge-grip before move; OnMouseMove resize branch precedes move;
OnMouseUp clears _resizeTarget
- UiNineSlicePanel: Resizable = true (retail windows are resizable)
- UiRootInputTests: 4 new tests — ResizeRect_RightBottom, ResizeRect_LeftTop
(min-clamp + origin shift), HitEdges_DetectsCornerAndInteriorNone,
EdgeDrag_ResizesPanel_InteriorDragMoves (full integration path)
Note on test coordinate: right-edge grab uses x=298 (2px inside the panel's
hit-test boundary) rather than x=300 (exactly at edge, misses OnHitTest's
strict `<` check). This is intentional — the grip zone extends inward from
the edge boundary, so a click 2px inside correctly lands in both the
hit-test rect AND the resize-grip zone.

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