Dual-lens review of CC4 (0e71d3b8) returned architectural FAIL (F1, F6)
and retail-fidelity PASS-with-reservations (F2, F3, F4), plus LOW
findings F5, F7-F12. F13 (TS-82's merge collision with campaign-cc6a) is
merge mechanics for the orchestrator, not addressed here.
F1 (HIGH, blocking): CharacterCreationUiController never released
UiRoot.FixedCanvasSize, on a FALSE premise that CharacterManagementUi-
Controller does a per-tick set (it does not — it sets once on activation
and nulls on Deactivate/Dispose). Root cause: RuntimeCharacterCreation-
State had no CompleteEnter() analogue to RuntimeCharacterSelectionState's,
so the creation view reported IsActive=true for an entire in-world
session. Added CompleteEnter(), wired at both LiveSessionController
in-world edges (StartCore, EnterHighlightedCore); made Open/Close/
Deactivate/Dispose set/null the canvas symmetrically; corrected the false
comment and ledger claim; added FixedCanvasSize test coverage.
F2 (MEDIUM-HIGH, blocking): the attribute-slider scalar mapping was not
retail's. Fixed display to value/100f (UpdateAttributeValues @
0x0048251d) and the drag inverse to truncate+clamp-low-only, no rescale
(ListenToElementMessage @ 0x004829c0, independently re-verified against
the decomp). Added tests at scalar 0.5/0.0 plus a display-direction test.
F3 (MEDIUM, blocking): ported the unported heritage-button tab-restore
arm (ListenToElementMessage @ 0x004e9450) — SHOW/HIDE id sets independently
re-derived from the decomp, including the genuine Lugian (0x100005f1)
no-restore quirk, reproduced faithfully. Wired via a new HeritagePage
click callback; added restore + quirk tests.
F4 (MEDIUM): ported SetTown's (@ 0x0047c360) separate per-town page-root
state literal (Holtburg->0x10000034 etc.), independently re-derived from
the decomp's tail-merged branches; wired via the existing
IUiDatStateful.TrySetRetailState seam; added a test.
F5 (MEDIUM): softened AD-103's unmeasured pixel-equivalence claim.
F6 (MEDIUM, blocking): DECISION — install ChargenOptions in the headless
content path (chosen over marking headless creation out-of-scope).
HeadlessSessionHost now calls InstallOptions off the shared content
lease's Dats, beside the existing InstallSpellMetadata call.
F7: AP-213 already named the label format and click/double-click
substitution explicitly on inspection — no edit needed.
F8: AP-212 now names all six DoRandom primitives with a known landing site.
F9: AD-101 retirement corrected to precede CC5's Finish un-ghosting.
F10: merged ItemAppraisalTextFormatter's duplicate <summary> block.
F11: fixed TS-82's wrong AP-211 cross-reference.
F12: cached the chargen DatStringResolver once per composition instead of
per ResolveText call.
Runtime 1713/0, App 5125/13 skips (+8 new tests), Headless 165/0, full
solution Release build green. Live-DAT probes 7/7 under
ACDREAM_PROBE_LIVE_MOUNT=1.

Mounts gmCharGenMainUI (enum 0x10000039, root 0x100003CC) via
CharacterCreationUiController/CharacterCreationUiMountCoordinator,
cloning CharacterManagementUiController's recipe. Master shell ports
SetProgressState @0x004e7a10 (Olthoi tab-hide + redirect) and
ListenToElementMessage @0x004e9450 (Back/Next/Finish/Help/Exit/Random
nav) verbatim, with free tab navigation over all six pages. Heritage,
Profession, Skills, and Town pages bind to CC3's
RuntimeCharacterCreationState commands; Appearance and Summary mount as
content-inert placeholders for CC6b/CC5.
Live-DAT probing (CharacterCreationLiveDatTests) found two widget-
mapping surprises the decomp's DynamicCast hints don't predict: the
Profession slider's value field imports as an editable UiField (wired
for direct numeric entry), and the avail/health/stamina/mana/credits
displays author as UIElement_Button hosts whose Type-12 value child is
swallowed by UiButton.ConsumesDatChildren — substituted with the
button's own Label. No new DatWidgetFactory widget types were needed.
Threads the installed DAT's real ChargenOptions into Runtime via the
new RuntimeCharacterCreationState.InstallOptions, called from
ContentEffectsAudioCompositionPhase.Compose (mirrors
InstallSpellMetadata's pattern); headless keeps ChargenOptions.Empty
unchanged. Wires CC3's F14 status-hook gap (ApplyCharacterCreated/
ApplyCreationFailed) to SessionStatusWriter for both graphical and
headless hosts, and adds the CharacterCreation view/command seam
through CurrentGameRuntimeAdapter and DeferredGameRuntimeStateCommands
alongside CharacterSelection's existing shape.
Register: AD-101/102/103, AP-212/213, TS-82 filed for the auto-gender-
select interim default, the omitted ToD-account gate, the button-Label
widget substitution, the Random-button approximation, the flat-listbox
Skills simplification, and the Appearance/Summary placeholders.
Runtime 1713/0 (was 1707), App 5117/13 skips (was 5101/6), Headless
165/0 unaffected, full solution Release build green.
