f532f28c5b feat(ui): Campaign CT slice CT5 — attribute/skill row geometry + selection media
Aligns the hand-built attribute/skill rows in CharacterStatController with
the authored shared row template 0x10000248 (LayoutDesc 0x21000045,
InfoRegion::InfoRegion @0x004F1450 template index 0 — the same template
gmAttributeUI and gmSkillUI both instantiate):

- Row geometry replaced with AUTHORED PIXEL VALUES instead of derived
  fractions: icon flush left 20x20 (was 16x16 at X=4, vertically
  centered), name column X=25 W=150 fixed (was RowPadX+IconSize+IconGap
  offset with a width*0.60 fraction), value column X=175 W=100
  right-justified (its right edge sits 7px short of the row's 282px
  right edge — the authored gutter the owner reported). Row width itself
  now clamps to the authored 282px template width (RowContentWidth)
  rather than the ListBox's raw 300px container width. Attribute-row
  height fixed at 20px (was 22px, no dat basis); SkillRowHeight folded
  into the same RowHeight constant since both row kinds share H=20.

- RowHighlightSprite corrected from 0x06001397 to 0x06000F93 — CT1's
  ground-truth research sealed the verdict that gmAttributeUI::
  UpdateSelection @0x0049DEE0 (SetState(6) -> InfoRegion::SetState
  @0x004F0EE0) swaps the row's Highlight-state media (0x06000F93), a
  full-row background swap. 0x06001397 belongs to a different mechanism
  entirely (the spellbook row's UIElement_UIItem::SetSelectedState
  overlay child) and SpellbookRowStyle.cs is untouched.

- UiClickablePanel.UseSelectionBars/SelectionBarHeight retired outright
  (UiPanel.cs): they existed only to emulate 0x06001397's dark-bars art;
  the correct retail rendering is the full-panel sprite stretch the base
  UiPanel.OnDraw already performs, so the override is dead code once the
  correct sprite is used. No consumer existed outside
  CharacterStatController.

- Per-attribute/per-vital icon DIDs now resolve through the live
  DBObj::GetDIDByEnum chain (RetailDataIdResolver.Resolve, AP-235's
  unification seam) when a resolver is supplied — RetailUiRuntime.
  MountCharacter wires one under the shared DatLock — falling back to
  the hardcoded AttrRows/VitalRows column otherwise (tests, no dat).
  gmAttributeUI::PostInit @0x0049DB70 read verbatim: attributes resolve
  via category 0x10000002 (statId order 1,2,4,3,5,6, matching AttrRows'
  authored display order exactly); vitals via category 0x10000003.
  Live-DAT-verified: every hardcoded fallback value already matched the
  resolved DID byte-exact (new InstalledDat pin
  AttributeAndVitalIconDids_MatchTheRetailEnumMapperChain).

- RetailAppraisalNameResolver.ResolveHeritage's independent
  re-implementation of the 2/5/13 heritage overrides deleted; it now
  delegates straight to CharacterIdentityText.HeritageGroupDisplayName
  (which already bakes in the same overrides) — one owner, byte-identical
  behavior. AP-235's register row updated to reflect the single-owner fix
  (the underlying hardcoded-vs-live-DAT mechanism divergence itself
  stays open — out of CT5's scope).

Hand-built-vs-template ruling: rows stay HAND-BUILT rather than
converting to UiTemplateListBox instantiation. The hand-built path hits
every authored number byte-exact (proven by the CT1 InstalledDat pin
AttributeRowTemplate_IconIsFlushLeftTwentyPixels_NameAndValueAreFixedColumns),
while conversion would touch ~15 call sites (raise-button affordability,
footer State A/B, per-row tooltip, section bucketing, live-refresh,
selection-highlight) for a geometry-only slice — smaller-risk path per
the task's own judgment-call guidance.

Tests: CharacterStatControllerTests' sprite/UseSelectionBars assertions
corrected to the authored geometry; new InstalledDat pin for the icon-DID
chain. Full hermetic solution suite green (App/Core/Runtime/Headless/
Launcher/Content/etc., 0 failures) and the full InstalledDat lane green
(203 App.Tests pins, TowerAscentReplayTests' known Status=KnownFailure
case excluded per the acceptance filter).

b9674b1f1e fix(mosstank): unclickable button, empty skill list, dev font, and chat output
Four defects from the first in-world look, three of them with a definite root
cause rather than a plausible one.

**The Buff button did nothing.** Not a hit-testing problem -- the pointer found
the button perfectly. UiRoot's press handling asks the pressed widget whether
it owns the pointer; a widget that does not claim the press falls through to
"move the ancestor window", and a window drag returns early on release without
ever emitting a Click. UiButton and UiClickablePanel both override
HandlesClick for exactly this reason; UiSimpleButton never did. Latent since
that class was written, and invisible until it was put inside a draggable
window -- which is precisely what a markup plugin panel is.

Found by reproducing it headlessly through the real UiRoot dispatcher rather
than by reasoning about it: MarkupPanelClickTests drives press-and-release over
the button and asserts the bound action ran, with a separate test asserting the
pointer finds the button at all, so a future failure says which half broke.
My earlier guess -- that a modal at character select was swallowing the click
-- was wrong, and the screenshot of the panel live in world disproved it.

**"0 trained skills".** The skill-name table was read in OnLoad *before*
GameWindowCompositionPipeline.Run, which is what publishes the DAT collection,
so _dats was still null, the whole block was skipped, and the surface reported
an empty skill list with nothing to explain it. Bound in PublishDatCollection
instead -- the moment the data exists -- so it cannot run early again whatever
the phase ordering does, and a genuinely missing SkillTable now says so.

**Plugin text used the development bitmap font.** UiLabel and UiSimpleButton
gained a DatFont, and MarkupDocument now takes the retail interface font from
the host, so plugin panels render through the same glyph path (including
retail's two-plane outline) as authored panels.

**MossTank now writes to chat.** New BCL-only IPluginChat routes to retail's
ClientLocal log type (0x1A) -- the channel the client uses for its own notices,
local to this client, so a plugin cannot speak in the player's name. MossTank
announces the start, the finish with a cast count, and a stall.

Not addressed here: the cursor showing blue rather than amber. Traced but not
fixed -- CursorFeedbackController picks the cursor family from combat mode, and
CombatMode.Magic selects the blue Magic cursor where Default is amber. That is
a combat-mode question, unrelated to this change, and worth its own look rather
than a speculative fix folded in here.

Solution builds clean; 14,437 tests pass on the standard hermetic lane filter,
0 failures.

17ebfc434d feat(mosstank): buff trained skills and attributes, pick tiers by skill, manage mana
Reworks MossTank against user feedback and the Virindi Tank feature docs
(virindi.net is reachable again over https with a self-signed cert; the
research doc's "unreachable" note is stale).

VTank's stated default is the spec: "automatically buffs every Attribute and
Skill you have trained", and "all buff spells are recast when they go below 5
minutes". The previous pass buffed the whole spellbook and refreshed at 60s;
both are corrected.

The hard problem was working out WHICH stat each buff raises. The client's
spell table has no such link -- it arrives from the server with the
enchantment -- and the naming is too irregular to infer: Invulnerability
raises Melee Defense, Impregnability raises Missile Defense, Fealty raises
Loyalty, Sprint raises Run, Arcane Enlightenment raises Arcane Lore, and the
line called Willpower raises the attribute named Self. Any name-matching
scheme dies on that last one.

Retail states it outright in each spell's own description ("Increases the
caster's Life Magic skill by 10 points"), so BuffProfile derives the whole
mapping from shipped data at runtime. It also carries the one alias the data
needs: the spell text says "Assess Monster" where the skill table says "Assess
Creature", and without that the skill silently never matches.

Two data facts that would each have caused a real bug, found by dumping the
spell table rather than assuming:

* Family is NOT a spell-line identity in general. Retail groups the
  instantaneous vital transfers by SOURCE vital, so family 89 holds both
  "Stamina to Health" and "Stamina to Mana". Picking the strongest tier in a
  family would convert into the wrong vital about half the time. Buff lines
  group by family (correct for duration buffs, which is retail's own stacking
  bucket); the conversions are found by name stem instead.
* Instantaneous spells have no duration and must be excluded from buff lines
  entirely, or they are treated as buffs that never appear to land.

Tier selection now follows the character's skill in the casting school against
the spell's difficulty (VTank's SpellDiffExcessThreshold-Buff), which is why
PluginSpellInfo gained School as a SKILL id -- MagicSchool is retail's 1-5
school enum, not something a character trains.

Mana upkeep is the loop asked for: convert stamina to mana when mana is low,
Revitalize when that leaves stamina too low to convert, and refuse to drain
stamina past a floor. Unknown vitals read as zero and are treated as "no
information" rather than "empty", so it will not cast on a healthy character.

Panel no longer shows at character select. IsAvailable is now the runtime's
own lifecycle state rather than a proxy, and markup gained visible="{Binding}"
plus UiElement.VisibleSource -- evaluated before the visible gate, because
TickSelfAndChildren returns early when hidden and an element could otherwise
never un-hide itself.

Also: a generated SpellId enum of all 6,266 spells (tools/SpellDump --enum),
generated from portal.dat rather than copied, so it cannot drift and carries
no third-party licence; skill and spell names now come from the retail tables
for display; and the Buff click logs unconditionally, so "nothing happened"
can be told apart from "the click never arrived".

Solution builds clean; 14,433 tests pass on the standard hermetic lane filter,
0 failures, including 21 covering the buff profile, tier selection and mana
loop.

9d1117b923 feat(plugins): MossTank — a self-buffing plugin, and the automation surface it needed
First consumer of acdream's plugin automation surface, and the first slice of
the VTank-class plugin milestone
(docs/research/2026-07-29-vtank-plugin-automation-requirements.md).

MossTank shows a panel with a Buff button; clicking it casts every self-buff
the character is missing, skips what is already in force at an equal or higher
tier, and refreshes what is nearly expired.

The host/plugin line is the load-bearing decision here. The host publishes
spell DATA -- family, tier, difficulty, mana, duration -- plus a cast
primitive with a preflight gate. The plugin owns the POLICY. That is the
architectural conclusion the requirements research reached: VTank's engine
lived in plugin-land, built on Decal's primitives, and baking "best buff for
skill X" into the host would start pulling the engine inward one convenience
at a time.

Why the plan is driven off the spellbook rather than off trained skills, which
is the obvious reading of "buff every trained and specialised skill": the
client cannot honestly make that mapping. The link between a spell and the
stat it modifies arrives from the SERVER in the enchantment message and is
absent from the client's own spell table. What the client does know is which
spells the character has learned -- and a character only learns buffs for the
skills they use, so the spellbook reaches the same set without inventing a
mapping the client has no grounds for.

Surface added, all BCL-only so Plugin.Abstractions keeps its zero project
references:

* ICharacterInfo, ISpellCatalog, IMagicCommands, grouped behind one
  IAutomationSurface so IPluginHost grows by one member rather than three.
* IEvents.Tick. Automation is sequences, not single calls -- a buff pass casts
  several spells and must wait between them. Without a host tick a plugin
  would need its own timer thread re-entering the host off its update thread.
* NoOpAutomationSurface for hosts with no live session, so a plugin keeps one
  code path and checks IsAvailable.

Markup gained <button> and <label>; it previously supported only <meter>, with
a comment promising the rest. Buttons bind onclick to an Action property and
FAIL THE PANEL LOAD if it does not resolve -- a silently dead button is worse
than a panel that refuses to load, because the user clicks and there is
nothing to diagnose. Labels bind through a Func so a status line tracks its
binding instead of freezing at build time.

Enchantment reads use EnchantmentsInEffectSnapshot rather than the raw active
set: retail leaves a weaker same-family enchantment in the registry while a
stronger one is in force, and a plugin asking "am I buffed?" means in force.

BuffPlan is a pure function of (known buffs, active enchantments) precisely so
it can be tested without a session; 9 tests cover tier supersede, the
family-0 no-stack bucket that must not be de-duplicated, expiry refresh, and
plan stability across the rebuilds the tick loop performs.

Solution builds clean; 14,421 tests pass on the standard hermetic lane filter,
0 failures.

39c49e140e feat(ui): spellcasting cast-button + character-panel attribute/skill tooltips — gmSpellcastingUI::UpdateCastButtonTooltip @0x004C6A30, AttributeInfoRegion/Attribute2ndInfoRegion/SkillInfoRegion @0x004F1530/0x004F1680/0x004F2140
TS-85 remainder batch (hover/UI overnight round, batch B). Audit found
three of the four listed spellcasting SetTooltip sites (endowment icon,
favorite, submenu) were already correct via UiCatalogSlot's pre-existing
Label-driven GetTooltipText; only the cast button (UiButton, no tooltip
wiring at all) was a real gap. Ports the verified literal states
("Select a spell to cast" / "You have no spells ready to cast" / the
full endowment-item USE-the-%s branch) plus a documented, narrower
fallback (spell name only) for the one sub-branch whose exact wording
sits behind a genuine gmNoticeHandler vtable-slot collision in the
pseudo-C dump rather than the unlabeled-string-pool class the rest of
this batch recovered.

Character panel: new UiClickablePanel.TooltipText seam (same pattern as
UiButton.TooltipText) carries the six hardcoded attribute descriptions
and three pair-shared vitals descriptions (byte-decoded from the retail
string pool) plus skill tooltips composed from the already-DAT-parsed
SkillBase.Description/.Formula — no hand-transcription needed for the
~30+ skill strings. The formula-to-text algorithm itself
(SkillSystem::InqSkillFormula) was recovered by byte-decoding six short
fragments Binary Ninja left completely unlabeled between two
gmSpellcastingUI vtable declarations.

Live-verified against the local ACE server: 34 real skills' composed
tooltips and both reachable cast-button states captured via a temporary
probe (stripped before this commit). Full solution suite green
(14,647 tests, 0 failures) both before and after the probe strip.

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.

4b5961ec04 fix(studio): Character window polish — XP-label left-align, smaller icons/tighter rows, selection bar full-width + top/bottom
Item 1 — XP-next label left-alignment: the "XP for next level:" label (child of the
XP meter) was not left-aligned with the "Total Experience (XP):" caption above it.
Fixed by computing the meter's x-offset at bind time and setting xpLabel.Left =
TotalXpLabel.Left - meter.Left, plus Centered=false/RightAligned=false.

Item 2 — icon size / row height: attribute-row icons reduced from 24px → 16px,
row height from 30px → 22px. The 9 rows are now compact and tightly packed matching
the retail reference (2026-06-26). Row font (18px dat) still fits the 22px row.

Item 3 — selection bar: UiClickablePanel gains UseSelectionBars (default false) and
SelectionBarHeight (default 3px). When UseSelectionBars=true and BackgroundSprite is
set, OnDraw draws the sprite as a thin horizontal bar at the TOP edge (y=0) and BOTTOM
edge (y=H-barH) of the row — full panel width, no left/right end-caps, UV-tiled
horizontally (u1=Width/nativeW). Falls back to the base UiPanel fill (BackgroundColor
or full-stretch sprite) when UseSelectionBars=false. AddRow sets UseSelectionBars=true
on all attribute/vital rows so the selection highlight shows as retail-style bars.
Sprite 0x06001397 is 300×32 px; at 3px bar height the UV crop shows the sprite's
top 3px (top bar) and bottom 3px (bottom bar). Temp pre-select for screenshot
verification was added then removed before this commit.

(Button state 6 — the retail dark horizontal bars) for the selected-row
background. When spriteResolve is provided to Bind(), clicking a row now
applies BackgroundSprite=0x06001397 + SpriteResolve on that row and clears
it on all others. Falls back to HighlightBg tint when no resolver is passed
(tests, or contexts without GL).

UiPanel.BackgroundSprite / SpriteResolve added so any panel can host a
sprite background in place of the solid BackgroundColor rect. HandleRowClick
updated to accept spriteResolve and apply the sprite or tint branch
depending on availability. Two new tests verify the sprite / deselect paths.

defbde1f86 feat(studio): Attributes tab Pass 2 — click-to-select (highlight + footer B + raise triangles) + tab states
- UiClickablePanel: new UiPanel subclass with OnClick action + HandlesClick=true
  so row clicks survive whole-window-Draggable ancestor frames.

- CharacterStatController overhaul (Pass 2):
  - Tab bar button states: SetButtonStateRecursive walks each tab group container
    (0x10000228/229/538) setting UiButton.ActiveState="Open" (Attributes) or
    "Closed" (Skills/Titles) via UIStateId enum string names from DatReaderWriter.
  - Row click: 9 rows become UiClickablePanel; sel[] mutable box drives footer/highlight.
  - Toggle: clicking the same row deselects (→ footer State A); click a new row
    updates title="Attrib: value", line-1 label="Experience To Raise:", line-1
    value=cost, line-2="Unassigned Experience:" in both states.
  - Row highlight: BackgroundColor=HighlightBg (semi-translucent gold) on selected row.
  - Raise buttons (0x10000246 ×1 + 0x100005EB ×10): hidden initially; shown on
    selection with ActiveState="Normal" (affordable) or "Ghosted" (cost=0 or unaffordable).
    CollectButtonsById tree-walk finds ALL copies of the button across tab-page mounts
    (not just the last-registered _byId copy) so all instances are controlled.

- CharacterSheet: AttributeRaiseCosts long[] (Strength…Mana raise costs in retail
  display order; cost=0 → max/disabled row demos the Ghosted button state).
- SampleData.SampleCharacter: fills AttributeRaiseCosts[9] — Strength/Quickness=0
  (maxed), Focus@10→110 matching the retail screenshot (spec §4).

- 35 new tests (total 673 pass) covering: row click→footer B title/line1/line2,
  toggle deselect→footer A, switch row, highlight set/clear, raise button
  hidden/Normal/Ghosted/deselect, tab Open/Closed states, GetRaiseCost helper,
  GetRowName helper, SampleData fixture sanity.

Console.WriteLine("[CharacterStat] Row click: index=N → selected=N (Name)") fires
on every click for the user's live verification in the studio.

805ab5f40b feat(D.2b): UiButton (Type 1) — Send + Max/Min as generic buttons (widget-generalization Task 3)
Introduces UiButton: a dedicated dat-widget button that ports UIElement_Button
(RegisterElementClass(1,...) @ acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:125828). State selection,
tiled DrawSprite, and label rendering mirror UiDatElement exactly so the chat Send
and Max/Min buttons have zero behavioral change.

DatWidgetFactory now maps Type 1 → UiButton (beside Type 7 → UiMeter, Type 11 →
UiScrollbar). ChatWindowController's Send and Max/Min bind blocks updated from
UiDatElement casts to UiButton casts; ClickThrough=false lines dropped (UiButton
is interactive by construction).

The old UiPanel.cs UiButton (a plain dev-scaffold rect+text button with no dat
sprites) is renamed UiSimpleButton to free the name — no production code
instantiated it.

Full suite: 402 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

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.
