Finding 1 (Exit button dead): retail's gmCharacterManagementUI Exit
button (element 0x100003A4, offset 7 from the listbox base in
ListenToElementMessage@0x004ed5a0) opens MakeConfirmExitDialog
(0x004ed250), whose exact ID_CharacterManagement_ConfirmExit text
(table 0x23000002) and m_confirmExitDialogContext re-entry guard are
now ported. On confirm (matching RecvNotice_CloseDialog@0x004ed760
case 1's ConfirmationResult check) the client exits through the
EXISTING graceful window-close seam (CharacterSelectionRuntimeBindings
.RequestExit -> d.Window.Close, the same delegate
GameplayInputCommandController's Escape fallback already uses) so
disconnected/exited status events still fire via GameWindow.OnClosing
-> CompleteShutdown. Retail's real post-confirm destination is
QueueUIMode(0x10000009) -> gmEpilogueUI, an epilogue screen this round
does not port — recorded as AD-99. Credits (element 0x100003A3,
QueueUIMode(0x10000005) -> gmCreditsUI) stays visibly ghosted like
Create, same treatment, out of scope this round.
Finding 2 (row names center-aligned, retail is left): the character
row template (LayoutDesc 0x21000004, element 0x100003A5, live-DAT
confirmed HJustify=Left with three stateful Type-3 highlight-art
children and no Type-12 caption child) authors its OWN justify
directly, with no separate text child to lift a label from.
DatWidgetFactory.BuildButton's Left-justify branch required
!ReferenceEquals(labelInfo, info) — true only when a label was LIFTED
from a distinct child — so a button's own direct HJustify=Left was
silently dropped to UiButton's Center default. Widened the branch to
also honor the direct case, preserving the existing lifted-child
LabelOffsetX behavior and leaving genuinely-centered buttons
(CREATE/ENTER/DELETE/RESTORE) untouched.
Finding 3 (World box empty): parsed ACE's GameMessageServerName
(opcode 0xF7E1, ACE.Server/Network/GameMessages/Messages/
GameMessageServerName.cs; retail CM_Login::DispatchUI_WorldInfo
@0x006ad860 -> ClientUISystem::Handle_Login__WorldInfo@0x005641a0 ->
ECM_Login::SendNotice_WorldName@0x00692b10, notice 0x186a2, consumed
by gmCharacterManagementUI::UpdateWorldName@0x004ec120 /
RecvNotice_WorldName@0x004ec360 onto element 0x1000039B) as
src/AcDream.Core.Net/Messages/ServerName.cs, cross-checked against
holtburger's ServerNameData. WorldSession.ServerNameReceived fires
alongside CharacterListReceived (ACE sends both in one
SendConnectResponse batch); RuntimeCharacterSelectionState.
ApplyWorldName is the new J-owner field (ungated by lifecycle, since
either message can arrive first); CharacterManagementUiController
binds it onto the WorldTextElementId UiText. Per the LA1 status
vocabulary, the characterList STATUS event's worldName field is
intentionally NOT added this round (kept bounded to the client-side
fix) — a follow-up if the launcher UI wants it.
Also corrects AD-44, discovered stale while filing AD-99: its opening
claim ("acdream has no retained character-management screen") was
false as of this session — LA7/LA8 shipped the screen in earlier
commits without updating this row.
Tests: exit-confirm open/cancel/confirm/re-entry-guard flow;
DatWidgetFactory own-HJustify-Left/Center regression tests plus the
live-DAT pinned row-justify assertion; ServerName parse round-trip
(byte-exact vs ACE's AceWireWriter fixture, truncation/wrong-opcode
cases); WorldSession dispatch test (roster+world in one wire batch);
RuntimeCharacterSelectionState.ApplyWorldName tests (order-independent
of ApplyRoster, unchanged-value no-op, Reset clears); controller test
binding the World text element to the live snapshot. Extended the
shared RetailDialogFactoryTests.BuildDialogLayout test fixture with a
Confirmation-type branch (Accept/Reject buttons) since this is its
first RetailDialogType.Confirmation consumer.

AD-98's fixed-canvas stretch (73041d70) scales every retained-UI quad at
TextRenderer.AppendQuad, but the live gate reported it JAGGED — text
especially. Cause: dat-font glyph atlases and IconComposer's composited
icons upload nearest (TextureCache.UploadUiTexture's UiNearestRepeat
sampler) — correct at the native 1:1 scale (pixel-exact retail art), but
aliased once magnified 2.4x1.8. Chrome/background art was already fine:
it uploads through GpuSamplerDescription.WorldRepeat (linear) by default.
Retail's own fixed-canvas presentation is a single bilinear-filtered
frame blit, never a per-texture stretch — this closes that gap one step
earlier, at the source texture, without adding RHI surface area.
- TextureCache.GetOrCreateLinearUiTwin: lazily registers a SECOND table
slot for a nearest handle's IGpuTexture, sampled WorldRepeat (linear)
instead of nearest — no re-decode, no re-upload, no extra memory-ledger
bytes. Returns the handle unchanged for anything never registered
nearest (chrome, UiTextureTableHandle.None), so it's a cheap
unconditional probe. Twin slots are released in Dispose without
double-disposing the shared texture.
- TextRenderer.LinearTwinResolver + the DrawSprite chokepoint: swaps a
sprite's texture handle through the resolver only while
CanvasScale != One. At CanvasScale == One the resolver is never even
called — zero overhead on the ordinary in-world/UI path.
- InteractionRetainedUiComposition wires the resolver to TextureCache
right after every UiHost acquisition (the lease can hand back a host
from a prior session against a fresh TextureCache).
- AD-98's register row gets one added sentence recording the fix.
Tests: TextRendererLinearTwinTests pins the renderer-side handle-swap
seam GPU-free (segment handle selection); TextureCacheLinearTwinTests
pins twin creation/reuse/dispose against RecordingGpuDevice. App suite
5097/3 skips (Release, ACDREAM_PROBE_LIVE_MOUNT=1 live-DAT probes
included). Full solution builds clean.

Third iteration on the screen, completing AD-98. The previous substitution
stretched only the root BACKGROUND while the child widgets stayed at their
authored 800x600 pixel positions - and the background painting carries
visual anchors (the World/Characters captions are art), so the user gate
showed captions overlapping the listbox and every widget misaligned
against the stretched art.
Retail model (established at 71bf24fb): fixed-canvas pre-world screens
render at authored 800x600 and the whole composed frame stretches once at
presentation; the blitter has no stretch mode. Our equivalent now does the
same one stage earlier:
- UiRoot.FixedCanvasSize: while the char-select screen is active, the
retained tree lays out in its authored canvas and Draw scopes a uniform
scale onto TextRenderer.CanvasScale; the mouse entry points apply the
exact inverse so MouseX/MouseY and every hit test live in canvas space.
- TextRenderer.AppendQuad is the single emission chokepoint - sprites,
rects, AND glyphs scale together, including retail-authentic non-uniform
aspect distortion and stretched text. World-space HUD stays native (the
scale resets outside UiRoot.Draw).
- CharacterManagementUiController stops resizing Root to the viewport;
activate/deactivate/dispose set and clear the host canvas.
- UiDatElement returns to retail-pure copy-or-tile; the interim
StretchOwnBackgroundToFill flag is deleted.
- AD-98 updated to describe the completed substitution.
Tests: canvas-scale quad math, inverse input mapping (window click lands
on the canvas-space widget), degenerate-size guards, controller keeps
authored extent + sets/clears the canvas. App suite 5085/6 skips; live-DAT
char-select probes 3/3.

The LA8 char-select root (0x1000039A) authors LeftEdge=TopEdge=RightEdge=
BottomEdge=0 ("no anchor") in the installed DAT — confirmed via the new
CharacterManagementLiveDatTests.RootAuthorsNoEdgeAnchors_RetailNeverResizesItSelf
gate — so retail's own UIElement::UpdateForParentSizeChange (0x00462640) never
resizes this element; it stays a fixed 800x600 rect in retail's own tree.
Retail's generic UI sprite blit, Graphic::Draw (0x00693b20) dispatching to
Graphic::PutImage (0x00693a30) for an exact/undersized destination or a
modulo-wrapped tile loop otherwise, has no third "stretch" mode — confirmed
against BlitMode (acclient.h ~3135) and MD_Data_Image::m_drawMode/DrawModeType,
both COLOR-blend selectors, not tile-vs-stretch geometry modes. The prior
"Normal -> tile, matching ImgTex::TileCSI" citation in UiDatElement was a
mis-attribution: ImgTex::TileCSI (0x0053e740) is called exclusively from
TexMerge::CopyAndTile/ImgTex::CopyCSI for LAND-SURFACE terrain texture
compositing, never from the UI element system.
Given the dat authors zero resize anchors and the blitter can only copy or
tile, the only way retail's whole pre-world scene (background + buttons +
listbox together) fills an arbitrary window resolution is that these
fixed-canvas "flow" screens render at 800x600 and the WHOLE FRAME is
stretched once at presentation — outside the UI sprite system entirely.
acdream has no offscreen fixed-resolution UI render target / present-time
scale pass; CharacterManagementUiController's constructor instead resizes
the MOUNTED ROOT element itself to the live viewport, which is why its own
background tiled (Width/tw > 1 at any resolution above 800x600, wrapped by
GL_REPEAT).
Fix: UiDatElement gains StretchOwnBackgroundToFill (default false, every
ordinary chrome/container element keeps tiling) — when set, the element's
own DirectState background draws as one UV-0..1 quad instead of the native
tile formula. CharacterManagementUiController sets it on Root right where
Root is resized to the host viewport, reaching the same visual result as
retail's present-time stretch (no tiling, no aspect-preserving letterbox)
through a different mechanism. Divergence register row AD-98 records the
substitution.
Tests: three new UiDatElementTests pin the UV-span mechanism generically
(tile past 1.0 when unset and rect exceeds native size; clamped to 1.0 when
set; byte-identical to the old tile formula when rect equals native size,
so every unaffected panel is untouched). CharacterManagementUiControllerTests
pins Root.StretchOwnBackgroundToFill == true post-construction. The live-DAT
gate confirms the root's zero edge-anchors and Type=3 against the installed
DAT. AcDream.App.Tests: 5084 passed / 3 skipped with ACDREAM_PROBE_LIVE_MOUNT=1
(5081/6 skipped without it — the 3 live-DAT-gated tests skip).

F1: the crash reporter comment claimed the launcher never holds a password
in any field - false (ProfileEditorDialogViewModel, AccountProfile.Password,
StartRequest.Password). Reworded to the true, narrower invariant (no throw
site interpolates a credential VALUE into an exception message) and pinned
it with CrashReportNeverContainsAStoredPassword: a real STJ failure over a
profiles document containing a known password, corrupted after the
credential, must yield a crash file with the stack and without the value.
F2: the co-deploy Inputs covered only Bake own sources; a Content edit
never refreshed the 83 MB exe. Now the full reference closure. Fixing it
surfaced two more incrementality traps, both fixed and comment-documented:
SkipUnchangedFiles left the output older than the triggering input (target
re-ran forever - added an explicit Touch), and %(Item.Metadata) in a plain
Include does not batch (the literal percent-text became a permanently
out-of-date phantom input - globs are now spelled per project). Verified:
Core edit retriggers, then two consecutive clean incremental builds.
F3: RID publishes ran BOTH co-deploy paths (two self-contained bake
publishes). Build-time target now guarded on _IsPublishing; verified a
real win-x64 publish runs zero build-target co-deploys and still ships
both exes.
F4: comment misattributed PublishBakeTool=false to CI lanes; it is
target-local recursion guarding. F5: the x:Name reflection sweep now walks
the markup as XML and tolerates template-scoped names (no generated field
exists for those). F6: dead using removed. Hardening: the crash reporter
positional --data-dir fallback requires a fully-qualified path so a
relative or flag-shaped value cannot create ./crash-reports at an
arbitrary CWD.
Launcher 67/67, Launcher.Core 317/317.

#398 was a crash on every modal open/close caused by MainWindow's
constructor calling AvaloniaXamlLoader.Load(this) instead of the
generated InitializeComponent() — only InitializeComponent assigns the
x:Name backing fields, so every named control was null and the first
Dispatcher.UIThread.Post callback in OnViewModelPropertyChanged threw
NullReferenceException, killing the process. It reached the user gate
because no test in tests/AcDream.Launcher.Tests (ViewModel-only) ever
constructed a MainWindow. #399 is the process gap that let that class of
defect through 14,012 green tests.
Adds Avalonia.Headless.XUnit 12.1.1 to the launcher test project. Its
net10.0 dependency group targets xunit v3, so the project migrates
xunit 2.9.3 -> xunit.v3 3.2.2 (drop-in: all 54 pre-existing tests compile
and pass unchanged under dotnet test via xunit.runner.visualstudio 3.1.4,
which already supported v1/v2/v3; two call sites needed
TestContext.Current.CancellationToken per the new xUnit1051 analyzer).
TestAppBuilder.cs wires [assembly: AvaloniaTestApplication] to a headless
AppBuilder.Configure<App>() so the real App.axaml FluentTheme is live in
tests.
MainWindowViewTests.cs adds 12 [AvaloniaFact]/[AvaloniaTheory] tests:
- an explicit non-null + type check of every x:Name field the
code-behind dereferences (ProfilesTree, ServerNameTextBox,
AccountNameTextBox, CharacterNameTextBox, EditorSubmitButton,
FirstRunDatDirectoryTextBox, FirstRunCloseButton, UpdateCloseButton)
- a reflection sweep over every x:Name found in MainWindow.axaml, so a
future named control without a matching non-null field fails loudly
- one open+close round trip per ProfileEditorKind (all seven, including
Remove), plus the first-run wizard and the update prompt, each pumping
Dispatcher.UIThread.RunJobs() so the queued focus callback actually
executes instead of just being asserted vacuously
- a dedicated test for the _focusBeforeModal-restore branch (not just
the ProfilesTree.Focus() fallback), anchored on a real focusable
button since ProfilesTree (TreeView) has Focusable="False" under
FluentTheme — its own tab stops are TreeViewItem rows, so the
close-path assertions check "no exception escaped the dispatcher"
rather than "focus landed on ProfilesTree"
Falsification (required evidence): reverting MainWindow's constructor to
AvaloniaXamlLoader.Load(this) and rerunning gives 12 failed / 0 passed —
10 tests throw NullReferenceException at MainWindow.FocusActiveModal,
propagating cleanly out of Dispatcher.UIThread.RunJobs() (confirming
dispatcher exceptions are not silently swallowed), and the 2 reflection
tests fail on an explicit "x:Name 'ProfilesTree' was null after
construction" message. Restoring InitializeComponent() gives 12 passed /
0 failed. Full launcher suite: 66 passed / 0 failed, reproduced on both
Windows and native Ubuntu (WSL, no display/Xvfb — Avalonia.Headless needs
none). AcDream.Launcher.Core.Tests: 317/317 unaffected.
No CI workflow change needed: .github/workflows/headless-portability.yml's
portable-launcher job already runs dotnet test on the launcher test
project on both windows-latest and ubuntu-latest with no display setup,
which is sufficient for Avalonia.Headless.
Closes#399.

#399 (HIGH, process class): no test constructs MainWindow — the launcher
test project is ViewModel-only with no Avalonia headless package, which is
how a crash on every modal open/close passed 14,012 green tests and reached
the user gate. Fix direction is Avalonia.Headless.XUnit plus a view test
that drives every modal open/close, catching the class rather than one
spelling.
#398 (MODERATE): the top-level guard prints only ex.Message, so the fatal
NullReferenceException fixed at d54b8a78 surfaced with no file, line, or
frame; diagnosis needed a temporary code edit and rebuild. Fix direction is
a redaction-scanned crash file under the data root.

Prove idle play remains passive and live until cancellation, then converges through one truthful status teardown. Keep probe mode string-only so numeric enum aliases cannot expand the pinned v1 contract, and record the Windows/WSL gates.
Both remaining agents were stopped for token budget and their partial work
committed as WIP (75a6724d LA1 fix round, c6019424 LA2). The handoff now
carries: full worktree paths with branches and HEADs, exactly what each
stopped agent had finished versus what it still owes, and a paste-ready
kickoff prompt naming all three resumable items plus the two owed merge
items.

Self-contained handoff for a fresh session: what the campaign is and which
decisions are settled, the slice ledger with commits, the in-flight slices
and how to recover them from git, the two owed merge items (cross-assembly
contract test, Launcher.Core CI lane), the session landmines (index-sweep,
stale agent worktrees, contract-in-prompts), the binding process, and the
goal text to set.
Committed via pathspec so a live implementer agent index in this worktree
is untouched.

Opus review of LA3 returned FIX FIRST; this addresses every finding in
scope (F1-F5, F7-F12; F6 CI-lane addition excluded per instructions):
- F1 (CRITICAL): SessionProcessSettings.Paths is now nullable and left
null by SessionConfigComposer unless a caller supplies overrides, so
the JSON key is entirely absent instead of "paths":{} — the App-side
loader's strict UnmappedMemberHandling.Disallow would otherwise reject
every gui/guiSelect session-config document at load.
- F2: added SessionConfigComposer.ComposeProbe and a nullable
SessionDescriptor.Mode field ("probe", omitted for normal play) per
the pinned contract — no character/policy/plugins/loginCommands.
- F3: LauncherProcessSupervisor.Stop now tries
ILauncherChildProcess.TryRequestGracefulStop (Linux: libc SIGINT via
LibraryImport, K4-proven graceful headless logout) before
CloseMainWindow. Windows has no reliable no-window-console equivalent
today; filed docs/ISSUES.md #397 with the CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP +
CTRL_BREAK fix direction. Stop()'s blocking-timeout contract is now
documented for LA4.
- F4: LauncherProfileStore.Save chmods the Linux temp file to 0600
immediately after creation, before any credential is serialized;
failure paths and Load() clean up a stale .tmp.
- F5: added LauncherCoreDependencyBoundaryTests asserting Launcher.Core
references exactly AcDream.Platform and no packages.
- F7: StatusEventParser.Parse no longer throws on a whitespace/null
line; StatusFileTailer.ReadNewEvents swallows the File.Exists/open
TOCTOU window (FileNotFoundException/DirectoryNotFoundException/
IOException) instead of throwing.
- F8: Start() now kills (entire process tree) and disposes a child that
started successfully but failed while being fed its stdin password,
instead of orphaning it.
- F9: SetState is monotonic — once Exited, no later transition applies
or fires StateChanged, closing a Start()-path race where a
synchronously-exiting child could be "resurrected" to Running.
- F10: CharacterIdFormat.TryParse now requires the "0x" prefix (an
unprefixed hand-typed decimal id is also valid hex and was silently
misread); a parsed id of 0 is treated as unusable and falls back to
the name selector; LauncherProfileStore.MergeRoster normalizes both
sides through TryParse/ToHexString instead of raw string equality, so
a legacy unprefixed-hex row self-heals via name match instead of
duplicating.
- F11: StatusCharacterEntry.SecondsGreyedOut is now uint, matching
CharacterRosterEntry and the host writer.
- F12: added MalformedStatusEvent, returned for a recognized `e` whose
payload doesn't match its shape, distinguished from UnknownStatusEvent
(an unrecognized `e`).
AllowUnsafeBlocks was added to AcDream.Launcher.Core.csproj — required
by the LibraryImport source generator's function-pointer marshalling
stub for F3's Linux SIGINT P/Invoke.
Verification: dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release green (0 errors);
dotnet test tests/AcDream.Launcher.Core.Tests -c Release green at 94/94
on native Windows and under WSL (Ubuntu, verified across multiple runs
for the timing-sensitive SIGINT/sharing-violation tests, no flakes
observed).
