Both OP4 reviews converged on one headline bug (Character-tab rows never
re-read live server truth after their pre-login constructor-word seed) plus
overlapping MUST-FIXes. All ten converged/consolidated findings land here:
MUST-FIX:
- BoolOptionRow.SaveCurrentValue now re-reads its live binding (retail's
GetValue()-into-SaveCurrentValue) on every OnShown — panel open, tab
switch in, initial activation — instead of trusting the pre-login
constructor word it was built with. Reset/tab-switch can now only
restore values that were actually live at the last show. LockUI's
host.Root.UiLocked one-shot mount seed now also converges on every
PlayerDescription via the existing OnCharacterOptionsChanged hook.
- Apply/Reset are wired to OptionPage.OnOptionChanged in production
(Ghosted when nothing changed, Normal when dirty, run once at bind so
both start disabled per retail's PostInit); Defaults stays ungated.
- The Combat panel's three LEDs (Repeat Attacks/Auto Target/Keep in View)
now read/write the same RuntimeCharacterOptionsState seam the Character
tab uses instead of a disconnected client-local GameplaySettings copy —
closes the "two writable copies" divergence. The three now-orphaned
GameplaySettings fields and RuntimeSettingsController's mirror
properties/SetCombatGameplay are deleted outright; the headless host's
hardcoded AutoRepeatAttack/AutoTarget now read the live option bit.
- RuntimeSettingsController.SetUiLocked's convergence guard now compares
against the last value actually applied to the runtime target instead
of the persisted GameplaySettings.LockUI snapshot, which could already
match a server-derived request without ever having been pushed.
SHOULD-FIX:
- DisplayTimeStamps now prefixes every chat producer (ChatLog.Append is
the one seam all of them funnel through), not just AddText's own
callers — heard speech, emotes, Turbine channels, and combat text were
previously missed. The prefix format escapes its colons and forces
InvariantCulture instead of the culture-dependent TimeSeparator
placeholder.
- sky.frag now honors uFogParams.w (fog mode) like the mesh/terrain
shaders, so Disable Distance Fog stops the sky dome's horizon band from
blending toward fog color too.
- Corrected the "byte-verified" overclaim on the timestamp format string
doc comment (BN-sourced, wire doc U6) and the AP-194 anchor-column
class-name typo; the RunAsDefaultMovement doc comments now cite retail's
actual acclient.h enumerator name.
- Added: DispatcherMovementInputSource's option x modifier truth table
(incl. || AutoRunActive with the option off), the per-page Apply/Reset
enable-gate tests, a real checkbox.OnClick/ToggleBehavior-driven click
test, and hash-pins for the six header string keys.
- Gate script step 8 corrected for the logout-flush false-failure
(closing the panel before relogging is load-bearing); a new step
documents the enable-gate sequence and the Combat-panel/Character-tab
cross-check.
Register: AP-196 (the Group-C default-source change + GameplaySettings
retirement) and AP-197 (the ignored per-character timestamp format
override) filed in this commit.
Full Release suite: 13,044 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 13,008/4/0;
net +36 tests from new coverage and legitimate assertion updates from the
GameplaySettings retirement).

Consolidated fix round for the two OP3 dual-lens reviews
(docs/research/2026-08-11-op3-review-{mechanism,blast}.md), both
APPROVE-WITH-FIXES.
MUST-FIX:
- The six "Use Mouse Turning Settings" chat lines were typed
RetailLogTextType.ClientLocal (0x1A); retail types them 0x07 (Magic).
BYTE-VERIFIED against the PDB-paired binary at all six
gmConfigUI::SetMouseTurningDefaults call sites (0x0049E972/E9E2/EA52/
EAA4/EAF6/EB48): every site pushes `6a 07` (type=7) immediately before
the text-pointer push and the AddTextToScroll call. Added a dedicated
OptionsRuntimeBindings.DisplayMouseTurningMacroLine seam routed at
Magic (scrolling chat transcript, light blue, timestamped) instead of
the 4-slot SpewBox ClientLocal uses; the mid-air refusal and UA/RA
keep ClientLocal (both independently confirmed correct).
- Filed AD-77: the client-wide floating-only gmPanelUI host divergence
(retail also exposes a docked 0x21000017 host) the plan §5 delegated
to this review, scoped to every main panel, not just Options.
SHOULD-FIX:
- gmGameplayOptionsUI is not an OptionPage in retail (acclient.h:55857,
UIElement_Field). OptionsPanelController now constructs the Gameplay
slot's OptionPage with AfterApply deliberately null, so entering/
leaving that tab never publishes SaveCharacterOptionsRuntimeCmd.
Corrected OptionPageModel's doc comment and rewrote the two tests
that pinned the wrong (Gameplay-flushes) shape.
- Added the OptionPage.OnOptionChanged seam (PlayerOptionPage::
OnOptionChanged @0x004F27D0) — fires as the last step of Apply/
Reset/Defaults, plus once per live LED edit via a new
IOptionRow.AttachPageNotify hook (BoolOptionRow wires it into
SetCurrentValue only, matching retail's Apply(1)-only
HandleDialogAndNotices path). OP4-6 will bind Apply/Reset enable
state to this.
- Exit to Character Selection's mid-air refusal is now tri-state
(Func<bool?> IsGrounded): retail's UseTime only reaches the airborne
test inside `else if (smartbox->player)`, so outside player mode (or
with no live controller) the button is a SILENT no-op, not a
refusal. Fixed the inverted comment at both call sites.
- Options panel geometry now matches its nine gmPanelUI siblings
sharing RetailPanelUiController's one main-panel rectangle
(ResizeX=false, bottom-edge-only resize, no invented Min/MaxWidth/
Height) instead of being the only all-four-edge/horizontal-resize
outlier whose width silently reverted whenever a sibling was shown.
- Added the three missing test pins: Options/Character mutual
exclusion through a REAL RetailPanelUiController registration,
RetailDialogFactory.MakeConfirmation's omitted-queueKey overload
sharing DefaultQueueKey, and UiTabPanel.ActivePageChanged never
firing on a dormant (non-activated) host.
- TS-74's What/Where now names the five store-only CameraTurning
preferences explicitly instead of only mentioning them in Risk.
- Test script gains the toolbar-button ghosted->enabled+highlight
check, UseMouseTurning-survives-relogin and the five prefs-survive-
relaunch steps, a UA/RA legibility eye-item, and the corrected
bottom-edge-only geometry description for step 5.
One-liners fixed in files already touched: symmetric close-button
resolve-failure logging in OptionsPanelController.Bind (blast NOTE 8).
Full Release suite: 12,947 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,935/4/0 post-OP7 — 12 net new tests; the two OptionPageModelTests
"wrong-shape" tests were renamed/rewritten in place, not removed).

Mounts retail's Options panel (LayoutDesc 0x2100002B resolved through host
0x2100006E slot 0x1000018D, gmPanelUI key 10) via the same catalog-import
pattern CharacterController already validates, registered through
RetailPanelUiController so it shares retail's "one active gmPanelUI child"
mutual exclusion with every other sibling panel for free. F11 and the
toolbar's options button (0x1000019B, already authoring panel id 10) both
now open it; the close button fires the same ToggleOptionsPanel action.
OptionPageModel (OptionPage/BoolOptionRow) ports retail's exact
Apply/Reset/Defaults/visibility semantics from
UIOption_Checkbox/PlayerOptionPage — LED clicks apply live immediately,
Apply commits every row unconditionally + flushes the batched blob, Reset
reverts only Changed rows, Defaults restores without committing, and
tab-switch/window-hide revert uncommitted edits. Wired for all four tabs;
this slice registers real rows on none of them (Gameplay authentically has
none — a pure button list). UiTabPanel gains an ActivePageChanged event so
the page model can hook every tab transition, including the initial
default-tab activation.
The seven Gameplay-tab buttons: Exit Game reuses the existing graceful
window-close path; Exit to Character Selection gets retail's confirmation
dialog and byte-verified mid-air refusal but still behaves as Exit Game
(AD-74 — no pre-world character-select flow exists); Configure Keyboard
and In-Game Help Files are inert this slice (AD-76 for Help — the
plugin retail depends on doesn't exist); Urgent Assistance/Report Abuse
short-circuit to their own byte-verified failure text through the
interface-text seam instead of ShellExecute against a dead URL (AD-75);
Use Mouse Turning Settings runs the pure MouseTurningSettingsMacro port,
persisting five new CameraTurningSettings preferences and sending
PlayerOption.UseMouseTurning — TS-74 records that acdream has no
persistent mouse-turning camera mode for the bit to drive yet.
Full Release suite: 12,918 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (baseline
12,871/4/0 — only new tests added).
