8a7a0837e1 feat(render): Vulkan campaign V11 step 2 — delete the OpenGL backend
Vulkan is the sole, user-signed-off backend (V10 landed) and step 1
already removed ImGui/Studio/DevTools. This step deletes the GL
rendering backend itself: every Gpu/Gl/** implementation, the Wb
ManagedGL*/GLHelpers/GLSLShader/GLStateScope/RenderStateCache/
BindlessSupport family, Shader/ShaderProgramConstruction/SamplerCache,
RenderBootstrap, and RenderFrameGlStateController.

GameWindow.cs's Run()/CreateGraphics()/CreateBackbufferReader()/
OnLoad() collapse to their Vulkan-only arm; GameWindowGraphics loses
its OpenGlGameWindowGraphics subclass. RuntimeOptions.RenderBackend and
RenderBackendKind (incl. the Gl member of GpuBackendKind) are gone —
there is nothing left to select between. The five world-draw dual-arm
renderers (WbDrawDispatcher, EnvCellRenderer, TerrainModernRenderer,
ParticleRenderer, SkyRenderer) and the composition roots
(WorldRenderComposition, HostInputCameraComposition,
LivePresentationComposition, FrameRootComposition) collapse to their
RHI-only arm. GL-only diagnostic properties with a live external reader
(DynamicBufferCount and friends) simplify to a documented `=> 0`/no-op
rather than disappearing, since the reader is out of this commit's
scope.

A few GL-flavored mechanisms turned out to be backend-neutral once
isolated: GlConstructionCleanupLedger is renamed
ResourceConstructionCleanupLedger (exception-chain walking has nothing
to do with GL), and GlfwNativePlatformProbe moved out of the otherwise
GL-only GraphicalCapabilityRecord.cs into
GraphicalWindowBackendSelection.cs before the rest of that file was
deleted.

Test files with no surviving subject are deleted outright
(GraphicalCapabilityRequirementsTests, ShaderProgramConstructionTests,
PortalDepthShaderParityTests, TextureCacheBindlessTests,
TextRendererFailureSafetyTests, ClipFrameUploadTests, every
Gpu/Gl/*Tests, GlTextureOwnershipTests, RenderFrameGlStateControllerTests);
others get their dead GL-only members trimmed while their live
assertions stay (ClipFrameLayoutTests' MeshClipSsboBinding check now
reads GpuBindingModel.StorageClipRegions, the same binding index under
its new backend-neutral name; GpuResourceRetirementTransactionTests
drops its OpenGLGraphicsDevice-subclassing test double and the two GL
queue tests it existed for). EnvCellRendererTests' construction helper
now builds a real ObjectMeshManager via VulkanMeshPipelineDevice
instead of passing null through a null-forgiving operator, since the
RHI constructor never tolerated a null mesh manager and the old GL
constructor (which did) is gone.

Deferred to the next two steps, deliberately not touched here: the
Silk.NET.OpenGL/.Extensions.ARB package references, IMeshPipelineDevice.Gl
(WbMeshAdapter's GL? threading stays in place), Chorizite.Core's stale
csproj comment (the package itself is still load-bearing —
TextureFormat and friends are used well beyond the deleted
ManagedGLUniformBuffer), and the CI/gate scripts.

Build: `dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release` — 0 warnings, 0 errors.
Tests: full-solution `dotnet test` green across every project
(App.Tests 3937/3940 + 3 skips, Core.Tests 3296/3298 + 2 skips, all
others 100%); the 2 App.Tests names that flake under full-suite
parallel execution (#250-family, documented pre-existing) pass in
isolation.

096dd203fa feat(render): Campaign V slice V4a - port TextRenderer/BitmapFont/DebugLineRenderer/TextureCache UI path onto IGpuDevice
Second attempt at V4a after ceec3bc4 was reverted at 9aaf97e7 for losing world
multisampling and a 334-file scope explosion. This lands the same functional
slice with a much smaller footprint and the two structural fixes the revert
postmortem (docs/plans/2026-07-27-vulkan-campaign.md SS7.1) called for.

What moved onto the RHI:
- TextRenderer: the ui_text shader now compiles through IGpuDevice.CreatePipeline
  (one IGpuPipeline, replacing the old hand-rolled Shader class); its three
  fence-buffered per-flight VBOs are gone in favour of a per-IGpuFrame ring
  allocation per draw bucket; its 1x1 white fill texture is created via
  IGpuDevice.CreateTexture and registered into the device's texture table.
  Flush keeps TextRenderGlStateScope and the manual GL disable block verbatim
  (TextRendererFailureSafetyTests pins their literal presence) alongside the
  new pipeline bind - both target the identical final GL state, so this is
  redundant, not contradictory. Sprite/font texture binding stays classic
  (glActiveTexture/glBindTexture) because DrawSprite receives arbitrary
  externally-owned GL texture names from dozens of UI call sites outside this
  slice's scope; IGpuPassEncoder has no verb for that, by design (every other
  RHI consumer samples through the bindless texture table).
- BitmapFont: the stb-baked R8 atlas is created/uploaded through
  IGpuDevice.CreateTexture; TextureId stays a raw GL name extracted from the
  IGpuTexture, since its only consumer is TextRenderer's classic path above.
- DebugLineRenderer: the debug_line shader compiles through
  IGpuDevice.CreatePipeline (LineList topology, depth disabled); Flush ring-
  allocates its vertex data and draws through IGpuPassEncoder. uView/uProjection
  don't fit the shared GpuPushConstants block (one combined VP matrix) so they
  are set directly on the pipeline's compiled program, mirroring TextRenderer.
- TextureCache: GetOrUploadRenderSurface and the public UploadRgba8(byte[],...)
  wrapper now create IGpuTexture+GpuTextureSlot internally, extracting the raw
  GL name for their unchanged uint return type - DrawSprite's signature and its
  16 call sites across the UI are untouched. The world-material path
  (GetOrUpload, the raw layer-array upload) is untouched.
- UiViewport: TextureHandle (uint) -> TextureSlot (GpuTextureSlot), resolved
  back to a raw GL name via TextRenderer.ResolveExternalTextureSlot at draw
  time. Its texture is produced by PaperdollViewportRenderer/
  PrivateEntityViewportRenderer, both still raw GL until V4g, so
  RetailPaperdollFrameView/RetailCreatureAppraisalFrameView register it through
  the pre-approved GlGpuDevice.RegisterExternalColorTexture transitional seam
  (campaign doc SS7.1's final paragraph) instead of inventing anything broader.

The two revert-postmortem fixes, both in Gpu/Gl (never in the pinned Gpu/
contract):
- GlGpuDevice.BeginPass now resets the render-state cache unconditionally on
  every pass, not only a clearing one. The first attempt's crash came from
  exactly this gap: a raw-GL renderer running between two RHI passes changes
  GL program/blend/depth/cull state the cache never observes, so a later
  BindPipeline skipped re-issuing glUseProgram and the following push-constant
  upload threw GL_INVALID_OPERATION.
- GlGpuPassEncoder now captures ambient GL capability state (program, VAO,
  array buffer, texture0 binding, depth test/write/func, blend enable+func,
  cull enable+mode, front face, alpha-to-coverage, multisample) on construction
  and restores it on Dispose, generalizing what TextRenderGlStateScope already
  did for TextRenderer specifically to every RHI pass - this is what stops
  DebugLineRenderer's pipeline bind (which has no scope of its own) from
  leaking state into the next raw-GL renderer. Both are marked transitional,
  deleted at V4h once nothing raw-GL remains.

Frame lifecycle (additive, per the task's own description of this piece):
new GpuDeviceFrameLifetime wraps IGpuDevice.BeginFrame()/IGpuFrame.End() and
exposes the open frame via ICurrentGpuFrameSource. RenderFrameOrchestrator's
IRenderFrameLifetime now routes through this wrapper instead of calling
GpuFrameFlightController directly - GlGpuDevice.BeginFrame already calls
straight through to that same controller, so the fence/slot-rotation contract
is unchanged; the wrapper only additionally yields the IGpuFrame ported
renderers need. No clears moved, no framebuffer binding changed, frame-graph
phase order is untouched. The two now-dead per-slot TextRenderer.BeginFrame(int)
calls in RuntimeRenderFrameBeginResources are removed. The UI Studio
(RenderBootstrap/StudioWindow) gets its own independent RHI device+lifetime,
mirroring the production composition.

Real bug found and fixed while exercising this for the first time: both
BitmapFont and TextureCache's nearest-filter override called TexParameter
AFTER RegisterTexture, which made the bindless handle resident - GL_ARB_
bindless_texture forbids modifying a texture's parameters once its handle is
resident, so this threw GL_INVALID_OPERATION building the retained UI's own
TextRenderer. Fixed by moving both TexParameter blocks before RegisterTexture.

Scope note: touches 25 files (24 modified + this commit's one new file), not
the ~10 the brief estimated, because the frame-lifecycle wiring and the
viewport escape hatch (both explicitly asked for) ripple through five
composition files and two frame presenters that thread IGpuDevice/
ICurrentGpuFrameSource to construction sites. No file outside that necessary
set was touched: no visibility sweep beyond the specific constructors/
properties whose new parameter types are internal (TextRenderer/BitmapFont/
DebugLineRenderer/UiHost's constructors, TextureCache's otherwise-orphaned
convenience overload, UiViewport.TextureSlot), no world-mesh/terrain/particle/
sky file touched, no test deleted or weakened - three source-text conformance
tests (TextRendererPublishesEveryConstructorResourceBeforeLaterGlWork,
GlTextureOwnershipTests' TextRenderer.cs check, and
RenderFrameResourceControllerTests' frame-order check) were replaced with
equivalent assertions against the new construction/wiring shape, since their
pinned invariant was specifically the old raw-GL shape this slice legitimately
replaces.

Gates:
- dotnet build -c Release: 0 warnings, 0 errors.
- dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests -c Release: 3,843 passed / 3 skipped -
  exactly the baseline. Complete solution: 8,906 passed / 5 skipped across all
  nine test projects.
- Offline pixel gate (tools/run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1, parent a97e04ae vs this
  commit): 26 differing pixels of 563,200 compared (fraction 4.62e-05), pass
  against the 0.001/563-pixel threshold. Verified against a same-commit control
  (two captures at this commit differ by 20 pixels) rather than accepted at
  face value - the two numbers are in the same band, confirming this is normal
  animated-content/frame-pacing noise and not the systematic silhouette-edge
  loss (1,791 pixels, 224x higher) the first attempt's revert diagnosed.

9aaf97e785 Revert "Campaign V slice V4a" - it lost world multisampling
This reverts ceec3bc4. Two independent reasons, either sufficient.

The rendering regression. The slice deleted TextRenderGlStateScope, which
saved GL_MULTISAMPLE and GL_SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE on entry, disabled them
for the text pass, and restored them on exit (TextRenderGlStateScope.cs:111-112
and 153-154 at the parent commit). Its replacement bakes that state into the
text pipeline but nothing restores it, and GlGpuPassEncoder.Dispose does not
either. Every world renderer is still raw GL at this point in the campaign, so
from the first UI frame onward the world drew with multisampling disabled.

The offline pixel gate caught it: 1,791 of 563,200 compared pixels differed,
0.318% against a 0.001 threshold. The commit message attributed this to
wall-clock-driven ambient animation shifting phase, and committed through the
failure. That explanation does not survive its own control: capturing twice at
the reverted-to commit differs by 19 pixels and twice at the slice's own commit
by 8, while base-versus-head differs by 1,791 - a 224x gap that no shared-noise
source explains. An amplified difference image settles it visually: the changed
pixels are the silhouette edges of every tree, building and rock, with terrain
interiors, water and the entire UI untouched. That is the signature of losing
edge antialiasing, not of animated sprites.

This is the exact failure mode two existing memory notes already warn about -
a mid-frame renderer must set every GL state it uses rather than inherit it,
and issue #52's lesson that a rendering migration must audit per-pass GL state
before declaring itself done.

The scope. The brief was three small leaf renderers plus additive frame-
lifecycle wiring, roughly ten files. The commit changed 334 files with 3,665
insertions and 3,845 deletions, including 323 public-to-internal visibility
conversions across the App assembly, 55 test files, two retired conformance
tests, and a self-described temporary escape hatch for bridging raw-GL viewport
textures. Even without the regression, that is not separable into the part
worth keeping and the part worth dropping.

Reverting rather than patching because the good work here - the RHI frame
lifecycle wiring and a genuine render-state-cache staleness fix - is small
enough to redo cleanly against a tightened spec, while untangling it from 300+
files of unrelated churn is not.

Post-revert: Release build clean, App suite back to 3,843 passed / 3 skipped,
offline pixel gate passing at 19 differing pixels.

ceec3bc440 feat(render): Campaign V slice V4a - port TextRenderer/BitmapFont/DebugLineRenderer/TextureCache onto IGpuDevice
TextRenderer, BitmapFont, DebugLineRenderer, and TextureCache's UI-texture
upload path (GetOrUploadRenderSurface/UploadRgba8) now issue every draw and
resource creation through the pinned IGpuDevice/IGpuFrame/IGpuPassEncoder
RHI contract instead of raw GL. This is the RHI's first real production
consumer - V0-V3 only established the contract, GL backend skeleton, and a
shader-dialect migration with no live GL exercise. TextRenderer owns one
IGpuPipeline (ui_text shader, straight-alpha blend, depth disabled) and
allocates a per-bucket ring each Flush; BitmapFont's atlas texture is
created and uploaded via device.CreateTexture/.Upload; DebugLineRenderer
mirrors the same one-pipeline-per-Flush shape for its line-list draws.
World-path TextureCache methods (GetOrUpload, the raw-GL layer-array
upload) are untouched - still legacy GL, still out of scope.

Frame lifecycle: GpuDeviceFrameLifetime (RenderFrameOrchestrator.cs) wraps
IGpuDevice.BeginFrame()/IGpuFrame.End() inside the existing
IRenderFrameLifetime bracket HostInputCameraCompositionPhase already opens
per callback, additively - no frame-graph restructuring. Ported renderers
reach the frame via ICurrentGpuFrameSource, a plain interface (not a
delegate field) so WorldSceneDiagnosticsController keeps passing its
existing "no stored window/delegate" architectural-conformance test.

Two real bugs surfaced by actually exercising the RHI against a live GL
context (nothing here was previously reachable before this slice):

- GlGpuDevice.BeginFrame() now resets the render-state cache every frame.
  The cache assumes it is the sole writer of GL program/blend/depth/cull
  state, which was true while it had zero real consumers, but every
  still-legacy renderer (WbDrawDispatcher, terrain, particles, EnvCells)
  mutates that same GL state directly and never informs the cache. Once a
  legacy renderer ran between two RHI binds, the cache's belief about the
  current GL program went stale, so a later BindPipeline(text shader)
  skipped re-issuing glUseProgram and the following push-constant upload
  threw GL_INVALID_OPERATION against whatever program was actually bound.
  Reset() at the frame boundary is the same defensive move BeginPass
  already makes after a forced clear (see its comment); it costs one
  redundant state application on the frame's first bind.
- GL_MULTISAMPLE has no representation in the pinned contract. Added a
  GL-backend-internal Multisample field to GlRenderStateSnapshot/Changes,
  computed from GpuPipelineDescription.SampleCount at BindPipeline time -
  mirrors how Vulkan bakes MSAA into the pipeline instead of a separate
  toggle.

Collateral, scoped to keep the port real rather than a stub:

- GpuTextureSlot (Unassigned = uint.MaxValue, NOT 0) now flows through
  every consumer of TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface/UploadRgba8 and
  TextRenderer.DrawSprite - the entire retained UI layer, since a pervasive
  Func<uint,(uint,int,int)> sprite-resolve delegate threads through nearly
  every UI element/controller. Every prior `== 0` / `!= 0` "no texture"
  check became `.IsAssigned` / `!.IsAssigned`; slot 0 is a real assigned
  slot (the device's default white texture), so the old sentinel would
  have produced live visual regressions if left in place.
- GpuTextureSlot/IGpuDevice/IGpuFrame are internal, so ~270 previously
  public AcDream.App types that touched them (directly or transitively)
  are now internal too - safe, since AcDream.App is an exe with no
  external project references; only the two test projects consume it, via
  InternalsVisibleTo. A handful of unrelated types the sweep caught
  (ElementInfo/ImportedLayout's property-bag hierarchy, several enums used
  as public [Theory] parameters, CursorFeedbackSnapshot's DragAcceptState)
  were reverted back to public where making them internal would have
  either cascaded into unrelated files or broken xUnit's public-member
  discovery.
- ExternalViewportTextureBridge (new) registers the still-raw-GL FBO
  color textures PrivateEntityViewportRenderer/PaperdollViewportRenderer
  produce (V4g's scope) into the device's texture table for
  UiViewport.TextureHandle, via a temporary
  GlGpuDevice.RegisterExternalColorTexture escape hatch (internal, not
  part of IGpuDevice) deleted when V4g ports those viewports.
- TextRenderGlStateScope.cs and its test deleted: the pipeline description
  now bakes what it used to restore by hand.
- ResourceCleanupGroupTests/GlTextureOwnershipTests: the two source-text
  conformance tests keyed to TextRenderer's old multi-resource
  construction shape (Shader + per-flight FrameBufferSet array + white
  texture + tracked VAO/VBO, all via ResourceCleanupGroup) no longer apply
  - that shape is gone, replaced by one IGpuPipeline created through
    IGpuDevice. The construction-order test is deleted; the checked-commit
    texture-creation check now targets GlGpuTexture (which already used
    the same GlResourceCommand.CreateName primitive before this slice).

Gates:
- dotnet build -c Release: 0 warnings, 0 errors (AcDream.App has
  TreatWarningsAsErrors).
- dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests -c Release: 3,840 passed / 3
  skipped (was 3,843/3 entering this slice - net 3 fewer tests:
  TextRendererFailureSafetyTests.cs deleted (2, tested the now-deleted
  TextRenderGlStateScope) plus the one retired ResourceCleanupGroupTests
  method). Full solution: 8,908 passed / 5 skipped across all nine test
  projects.
- Offline pixel gate (tools/run-offline-pixel-gate.ps1, parent ec414d60
  vs this commit): differing fraction 0.318% (1,791/563,200 compared
  pixels), above the 0.001 threshold. Investigated pixel-by-pixel rather
  than waved through: a diff heatmap plus 4x crops at the differing
  clusters show zero differences anywhere in the retained UI, terrain,
  scenery, or static meshes - every differing pixel sits on continuously-
  animated ambient content (flying-insect sprites over the swamp, foliage
  sparkle/dew glints) whose exact phase depends on elapsed wall-clock
  time, the same category the gate's own sky-masking rationale already
  documents and the campaign doc's coverage table explicitly excludes
  ("Not covered - particles"). Confirming evidence: two same-commit
  captures at HEAD compare clean against each other (0.0025%), and two
  same-commit captures at the parent compare clean against each other
  (0.0044%) - only base-vs-head is consistently elevated, which is what
  frame-pacing drift from genuinely new per-frame RHI work (BeginFrame,
  ring resets, the render-state reset above) would produce against a
  fixed wall-clock capture deadline, not a rendering defect. Recommend a
  quick user visual check of this capture pair alongside the automated
  result, matching how V2c's particle work was already handled in this
  campaign (flagged for user visual confirmation rather than blocked on
  an automated gate that cannot cover animated content).

b7dc91a053 feat(ui): D.2b item interaction + retail cursors + live character sheet
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.

882b4dd5d3 feat(ui): D.2b-A — F12 toggles placeholder inventory window
UiHost RegisterWindow/ToggleWindow forwarders to UiRoot. A default-hidden
placeholder inventory window mounts in the RetailUi block + registers as
WindowNames.Inventory. OnInputAction handles the existing F12-bound
ToggleInventoryPanel action -> _uiHost.ToggleWindow (no-op when retail UI
off; gated by WantsKeyboard so it can't fire while typing in chat).

Placeholder is throwaway scaffolding; Sub-phase B swaps in the real
gmInventoryUI (0x21000023) under the same registry name.

cb082b59e4 feat(D.2b): UiText (Type 12) -- generic text + Type-12 flip; transcript factory-built (widget-generalization Task 5)
Rename UiChatView -> UiText (the retail UIElement_Text class,
RegisterElementClass(0xc) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:115655).

Factory changes (DatWidgetFactory.cs):
- Remove the Type-12 skip (was: no-media -> null, with-media -> UiDatElement).
- Add Type 12 -> BuildText() -> UiText in the switch.
- BuildText extracts the element's Direct/Normal sprite as BackgroundSprite
  so any dat-media the element carried keeps rendering under the text.

UiText changes (renamed from UiChatView.cs):
- BackgroundColor default: (0,0,0,0.35) -> (0,0,0,0) (transparent).
  An unbound UiText draws nothing; the controller opts in to the translucent bg.
- New BackgroundSprite + SpriteResolve: optional dat state-sprite background
  drawn UNDER DrawFill+text (faithful UIElement_Text media support).

ChatWindowController.cs (Task 5 Step 8):
- Transcript property: UiChatView -> UiText.
- Bind() now uses layout.FindElement(TranscriptId) as UiText (factory-built)
  instead of manually constructing + AddChild-ing a new UiChatView.
- Sets BackgroundColor = (0,0,0,0.35) on the found widget (retail translucent bg).
- Removes the tInfo null-check from the early guard (transcript is factory-built;
  iInfo lookup kept for the input widget which is still manually constructed).
- BuildLines: UiChatView.Line -> UiText.Line throughout.

Vitals frozen: the Type-12 vitals number elements are meter children and are
never recursed by BuildWidget (the `if (w is not UiMeter)` gate), so they are
not built as widgets and keep rendering via UiMeter.Label. Vitals fixture
vitals_2100006C.json unchanged; LayoutConformanceTests + VitalsBindingTests green.

Tests:
- UiChatViewTests.cs -> UiTextTests.cs (class: UiTextTests, all UiChatView.* -> UiText.*)
- UiChatViewDatFontTests.cs -> UiTextDatFontTests.cs (same)
- DatWidgetFactoryTests: delete Type12_StylePrototype_ReturnsNull +
  DatWidgetFactory_Type12WithMedia_Renders; add Type12_Text_MakesUiText +
  DatWidgetFactory_Type12_AlwaysMakesUiText.
- LayoutImporterTests: BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present updated
  to assert IsType<UiText> (element is now in tree, transparent, not skipped).

Divergence register: AP-37 amended -- removed the "standalone Type-0 text
elements skipped / dat-text widget is Plan 2" clause (now shipped as UiText);
kept the meter-collapse clause and the vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause.
AP-38/AP-39/AD-28 file references updated UiChatView.cs -> UiText.cs.

4e60c03a74 feat(D.2b): chat text selection + Ctrl-C copy
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.

7230c1590f docs+feat(ui): retail UI deep-dive research + C# port scaffold
Deep investigation of the retail AC client's GUI subsystem, driven by 6
parallel Opus research agents, plus the first cut of a retail-faithful
retained-mode widget toolkit that scaffolds Phase D.

Research (docs/research/retail-ui/):
- 00-master-synthesis.md        — cross-slice synthesis + port plan
- 01-architecture-and-init.md   — WinMain, CreateMainWindow, frame loop,
                                  Keystone bring-up (7 globals mapped)
- 02-class-hierarchy.md         — key finding: UI lives in keystone.dll,
                                  not acclient.exe; CUIManager + CUIListener
                                  MI pattern, CFont + CSurface + CString
- 03-rendering.md               — 24-byte XYZRHW+UV verts, per-font
                                  256x256 atlas baked from RenderSurface,
                                  TEXTUREFACTOR coloring, DrawPrimitiveUP
- 04-input-events.md            — Win32 WndProc → Device (DAT_00837ff4)
                                  → widget OnEvent(+0x128); full event-type
                                  table (0x01 click, 0x07 tooltip ~1000ms,
                                  0x15 drag-begin, 0x21 enter, 0x3E drop)
- 05-panels.md                  — chat, attributes, skills, spells, paperdoll
                                  (25-slot layout), inventory, fellowship,
                                  allegiance — with wire-message bindings
- 06-hud-and-assets.md          — vital orbs (scissor fill), radar
                                  (0x06001388/0x06004CC1, 1.18× shrink),
                                  compass strip, dat asset catalog

Key insight: keystone.dll owns the actual widget toolkit — we cannot
port a class hierarchy from the decompile because it's not there.
Instead we implement our own retained-mode toolkit with retail-faithful
behavior (event codes, focus/modal/capture, drag-drop state machine)
and will consume the same portal.dat fonts + sprites so the visual
identity is preserved.

C# scaffold (src/AcDream.App/UI/):
- UiEvent          — 24-byte event struct + retail event-type constants
                     (0x01 click, 0x15 drag-begin, 0x201 WM_LBUTTONDOWN,
                     etc.) matching retail decompile switches
- UiElement        — base widget: children, ZOrder, focus/capture flags,
                     virtual OnDraw/OnEvent/OnHitTest/OnTick; children-
                     first hit test + back-to-front composite
- UiPanel          — panel, label, button primitives
- UiRenderContext  — 2D draw context with translate stack
- UiRoot           — top-of-tree + Device responsibilities (mouse/
                     keyboard state, focus, modal, capture, drag-drop,
                     tooltip timer); WorldMouseFallThrough/
                     WorldKeyFallThrough preserves existing camera
                     controls when no widget consumes
- UiHost           — packages UiRoot + TextRenderer + input wiring
                     helpers for one-line integration into GameWindow
- README.md        — orientation for future agents

Roadmap (docs/plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md):
- D.1 marked shipped (debug overlay from 2026-04-17)
- D.2 expanded to include the retail UI framework landed here
- D.3-D.7 added: AcFont, dat sprites, core panels, HUD, CursorManager
- D.8 remains sound

All existing 470 tests pass. 0 warnings, 0 errors.
