The vitals cur/max numbers now render through the generic UiText widget — retail
gmVitalsUI uses UIElement_Text for them, not a meter-internal label. VitalsController
attaches a centered, non-interactive UiText child to each meter and stops the meter
drawing its own label (UiMeter.Label -> null). New UiText.Centered draws the first line
centered H+V with the SAME formula UiMeter's overlay used, so the numbers are
pixel-identical — user-confirmed in the live client.
This completes the D.2b widget-generalization pass: every chat + vitals widget is now
built generically and registered to its retail Type (Button/Field*/Menu/Meter/Scrollbar/
Text), with thin find-by-id controllers. (*Field is controller-placed; Type 3 stays
UiDatElement for chrome.)
Divergence register: AP-37 vitals-numbers-via-UiMeter.Label clause retired. Full suite:
404 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

The generalized channel menu wouldn't open: the factory recursed the Type-6
menu element's dat children, building its invisible Type-12 label child as a
UiText. Hit-testing is children-first and UiText consumes MouseDown (selection),
so the label child swallowed the menu button click and the dropdown never opened.
The transcript similarly gained an invisible Ghosted-button child (a 16x16
selection dead-zone). The old hand-made build never had these — it skipped Type 12
and hand-placed the widgets with no children.
Fix: behavioral widgets (Meter/Menu/Button/Scrollbar/Text/Field) draw their full
appearance and reproduce their dat sub-elements procedurally, so they are LEAF —
the importer must not build their dat children as separate (click-stealing)
widgets. Add UiElement.ConsumesDatChildren (default false; the 6 behavioral
widgets override true) and gate LayoutImporter recursion on it (replacing the
UiMeter-only special case). Only generic containers (UiDatElement, panels) recurse.
Visually confirmed in the live client (channel menu opens; General/Trade selected
and sent). Vitals unchanged (UiMeter was already leaf). Full suite: 404 passed.

Task 6 registered Type 3 -> UiField globally, which broke acdream's Type-3 dat
elements: in these layouts Type 3 is sprite-bearing CHROME (the 8-piece bevel
corners, e.g. vitals 0x10000633 -> sprite 0x060074C3) and the transcript/input
CONTAINER panels — NOT editable fields. UiField draws no dat sprite, so the
vitals bevel corners would render empty; the regression was masked by weakening
VitalsTree_ChromeCornerHasExpectedSprite (UiDatElement+sprite -> UiField+exists).
Retail Type 3 IS UIElement_Field, but retail draws those chrome elements as inert
media-bearing Fields, which our UiDatElement reproduces pixel-for-pixel without a
spurious focus/edit affordance. The one true editable field — the chat input
0x10000016 — resolves to Type 12 and is controller-placed as a UiField (Variant B,
kept). So Type 3 stays on the generic fallback; register it as UiField only when a
window carries a factory-built editable Type-3 field (and UiField grows a
background-media draw + an opt-in editable flag then).
Restored the chrome-corner conformance test (asserts UiDatElement + sprite, an
early warning if Type 3 is ever wrongly routed to UiField). Kept the good Task-6
work: UiField rename + the Variant-B input wiring (stray Type-12 placeholder
removed). Full suite: 404 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

- Rename UiChatInput → UiField (UIElement_Field, RegisterElementClass(3) @ :126190);
update doc to cite retail's CatchDroppedItem/MouseOverTop drag-drop hooks for
future item windows. BackgroundColor default → transparent (controller sets
the translucent 0.35α value explicitly, matching UiText pattern).
- Register Type 3 in DatWidgetFactory.Create: `3 => new UiField()`.
- ChatWindowController.Bind (Variant B): factory now builds 0x10000016 as an
invisible UiText placeholder (Type 12); Bind removes that placeholder via
FindElement(InputId).Parent.RemoveChild and places a UiField at the same rect.
Result: exactly ONE input widget in the input bar, no stray UiText duplicate.
- Input property type changed from UiChatInput to UiField; GameWindow.cs:1861
UiField.Keyboard assignment compiles unchanged (field exists).
- Tests: UiChatInputTests → UiFieldTests (class + all ctor refs renamed);
DatWidgetFactoryTests: new Type3_Field_MakesUiField test; ChatWindowControllerTests:
updated stale "skipped by factory" comments; LayoutConformanceTests: updated
VitalsTree_ChromeCornerHasExpectedSprite — Type-3 chrome-corner elements are
now UiField (sprite rendering for Type-3 dat image elements is a known
limitation, tracked for post-Task-8 UiField.BackgroundSprite follow-up).

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.

Review caught a behavior divergence: the generic UiMenu auto-set its own
Selected on any enabled pick, while the controller's EnabledProvider keeps the
null-payload specials (Squelch / Tell-to-Selected) enabled/white like retail.
So a special-item click set Selected=null and shifted the highlight onto the
deferred placeholders — and the menu tests masked it by using a different
(specials-disabled) gate than the controller ships.
Fix: clean MVC contract mirroring retail UIElement_Menu::NewSelection — the
widget REPORTS the pick via OnSelect; the controller OWNS Selected (it sets it
only for talk-channel payloads). A special-item click now fires OnSelect(null),
the controller ignores it, and the active channel + highlight stay put —
observably identical to the pre-generalization widget, and extensible for when
Squelch lands. Tests realigned to the controller's gate (specials white) and to
the controller-owns-Selected contract.

UiChannelMenu → UiMenu: removed ChatChannelKind, the 14-item array, the
button-text map, and the availability default. Generic surface: MenuItem
(label + object? Payload), Selected (object?), OnSelect, EnabledProvider,
ButtonLabelProvider, RowsPerColumn/RowHeight/ColumnWidth (all settable).
All draw/event mechanics unchanged — same popup geometry, same click
coordinates, same 8-piece bevel, same 3-slice button face.
ChatWindowController gains ChannelItems[], ChannelButtonLabel(), and
ChannelAvailable() (verbatim from old widget), and populates the
factory-built Type-6 UiMenu via find-by-id rather than constructing a
replacement widget. The Menu property type is now UiMenu. OnChannelChanged
wrap replaced with the generic OnSelect wrap for the ReflowInputRow hook.
DatWidgetFactory registers Type 6 → new UiMenu().
Tests: UiChannelMenuTests → UiMenuTests (10 tests, all green); factory
Type6 test added; ChatWindowControllerTests updated to use OnSelect.
Divergence register: AP-42 added (flat item model vs retail nested-submenu
MakePopup @0x46d310 — latent, unreachable through the chat menu).

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.

- git mv UiChatScrollbar.cs → UiScrollbar.cs; rename class + update doc summary to
"Generic scrollbar. Ports retail UIElement_Scrollbar (RegisterElementClass(0xb) @
acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:124137); thumb size = trackLen * ThumbRatio (min 8px); step ±1 line."
- git mv UiChatScrollbarTests.cs → UiScrollbarTests.cs; rename test class + replace
every UiChatScrollbar reference with UiScrollbar (bodies unchanged).
- DatWidgetFactory: register Type 11 → new UiScrollbar() before the _ fallback case.
- ChatWindowController: change Scrollbar property type to UiScrollbar; replace the old
"construct-remove-add" block with a "find factory-built UiScrollbar and bind in place"
block (no RemoveChild/AddChild); keep `var track` assignment in scope so the Max/Min
block's track.Left/track.Width reads still compile against UiElement?.
- AP-41 divergence register: update file:line to UiScrollbar.cs:35; narrow wording to
"fallback only — single-tile drawn only when cap ids are unset; the chat controller
passes all three cap ids so the 3-slice path is the active code path."

- ChatWindowController: wires the menu chrome (popup bevel, row/checkbox
sprites), the input focused-field sprite + keyboard, and autosizes the channel
button + reflows the input field to start after it (anchor re-capture so the
per-frame layout doesn't fight it). DefaultTextInput / write-mode focus hooked
up.
- WrapText now breaks an over-long UNBROKEN token at character boundaries (no
hyphen), packed onto the current line first — so a spaceless token wraps
instead of overflowing, and a "You say," prefix stays on the same row as the
start of the message.
- UiChatView: transcript background + selection highlight use DrawFill (sprite
bucket) so the transcript text draws ON TOP instead of being dimmed by its own
translucent rect background.

fix(D.2b): arrow swap, centered menu text, scrollbar-to-top, Send caption
- scroll arrows: native sprites are opposite (0x06004C6C up / 0x06004C69 down) per live
visual — swap the assignment, drop the V-flip.
- menu labels centered vertically in each 17px row (was top-aligned, looked corrupt).
- scrollbar pulled up to the panel top so the top arrow meets the window border and the
max/min button lines up with it (the 6px dat offset left a gap after the resize-bar reclaim).
- Send button: the dat sprite 0x06001915 is a blank gold frame (export-confirmed), so add a
generic optional Label/LabelFont to UiDatElement and draw "Send" centered on it.

feat(D.2b): data-driven channel menu chrome + greying + scroll-arrow fix
Investigation found the menu popup is fully dat-driven (UIElement_Menu::MakePopup
@0x46d310 reads LayoutDesc 0x21000006 elements 0x1000001C/1D/1E — the "stray" top-level
elements). Render the popup from the real sprites instead of a flat rect:
- panel 0x0600124C, item row 0x0600124E, selected row 0x0600124D; 191x17 rows, 2 cols.
- drawing rows as SPRITES also fixes the z-order (a DrawRect bg composited OVER the
labels; sprites share the labels submission bucket so text lands on top).
- item greying: available channels white, unavailable salmon (colorPink) — static
approximation (Say/General/Trade/LFG) with an AvailabilityProvider hook for live
TurbineChat state; unavailable items are inert on click. Ports ResetAllTalkFocusMenuButtons.
- scroll arrows: both dat sprites point down (export-confirmed); V-flip the top button
so it points up.
Tabs confirmed to have NO digits in retail (blank gold frames) — acdream already matches.

feat(D.2b): chat polish — typing fix, opacity, scrollbar 3-slice, retail channel menu
Visual-iteration batch (decomp-grounded), each fix verified against the retail screenshots:
- typing: UiElement.HitTest aborted on ClickThrough BEFORE walking children, so the
ClickThrough UiDatElement panels blocked hit-testing to the input/transcript inside
them. Check ClickThrough AFTER the child walk (it only gates whether THIS element
claims the hit). Restores input focus + typing.
- opacity: UiElement.Opacity + a UiRenderContext alpha stack applied to sprite/rect
draws (text bypasses it, stays sharp); chat frame Opacity=0.75 → translucent chat.
- brown sliver: grow the transcript panel up 9px to cover the dropped resize-bar strip.
- scrollbar: real 3-slice thumb (caps 0x06004C60/66 + tiled mid) + tiled track.
- max/min: shifted one button-width left of the scrollbar (dat right-anchors collide).
- system text now green (retail ChatMessageType 5; was yellow).
- word-wrap: transcript lines wrap to the panel width (greedy, ports GlyphList::Recalculate).
- channel menu reworked to retail gmMainChatUI::InitTalkFocusMenu: "Chat" button + a
TWO-COLUMN popup of the 14 talk-focus items (Squelch, Tell to Selected, Chat to All,
Tell to Fellows, ...) on a tan panel; channel items set the active outbound channel.

Implements Task G2: binds the imported chat LayoutDesc (0x21000006) to live
behavior, the acdream analogue of retail ChatInterface + gmMainChatUI::PostInit.
- UiDatElement: add OnClick hook + OnEvent override so Send/max-min buttons
can be wired by a controller without needing a dedicated widget type.
- ChatWindowController.Bind: reads transcript (0x10000011) and input
(0x10000016) rects from the raw ElementInfo tree (factory skips them as
Type-12/no-media), places UiChatView under the transcript panel and
UiChatInput under the input bar; replaces the imported scrollbar track
(0x10000012) with UiChatScrollbar driving UiChatView.Scroll; replaces
the channel menu placeholder (0x10000014) with UiChannelMenu; wires
Send button and max/min toggle via the new OnClick hook.
ChatCommandRouter.Submit routes all input through the existing pipeline.
- 6 smoke tests: Bind returns non-null, Transcript is child of panel,
Input is child of bar, Input.OnSubmit publishes SendChatCmd, channel
change updates submit channel, returns null when panels missing.
Build: 0 errors. Test suite: 392 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed.

Task G1: two gaps blocked chat window static sprite elements from rendering.
Change 1 — DatWidgetFactory: only skip Type-12 elements that have no own
state media (pure style prototypes). A Type-12 element that carries sprites
(e.g. a chat Send button whose derived Type-0 element inherited Type 12 from
its base prototype) now renders as a UiDatElement.
Change 2 — ElementInfo: add DefaultStateName field (string, default "").
Change 3 — LayoutImporter.ToInfo: read ElementDesc.DefaultState.ToString()
into DefaultStateName; normalize Undef/Undefined/0 sentinels to "".
Change 4 — ElementReader.Merge: inherit DefaultStateName (derived wins if
non-empty, else base).
Change 5 — UiDatElement ctor: initialize ActiveState to DefaultStateName
when set; else "Normal" when a Normal-state sprite is present (retail's
implicit default for buttons/tabs); else "" (DirectState). This makes the
Send button, max/min button, and numbered tabs render their default sprite
without requiring explicit state assignment at runtime.
Vitals neutrality: all vitals chrome/grip elements carry DirectState-only
sprites with no "Normal" named state and DefaultStateName="" (Undef in dat),
so their ActiveState stays "" and their existing conformance tests are
unaffected. Vitals text labels (Type 0→12 via Merge, no StateMedia) are
still skipped by the refined Type-12 guard (StateMedia.Count==0).
Tests: 4 new tests (2 in DatWidgetFactoryTests, 3 in UiDatElementTests).
All 386 pass; 387 total (1 pre-existing skip).

ToAnchors was inverted vs retail UIElement::UpdateForParentSizeChange @0x00462640:

(the prior 'dat is fixed-size' conclusion was wrong). At-rest render unchanged
(anchors only fire on resize). Added a 160->200 resize conformance test.
Also fixed DatWidgetFactoryTests.RectAndAnchors_SetFromElementInfo which encoded
the old inverted model (Right=2 expecting Right anchor; corrected to Right=1).

Process/quality items from the LayoutDesc-importer final review — no runtime
behavior change.
I1a — amend IA-15: the 8-piece chrome edge/corner→position mapping is no longer
a guess. The LayoutImporter (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI_IMPORTER) reads real LayoutDesc
dat data and resolves positions + sprite ids directly; locked by the conformance
fixture vitals_2100006C.json. Residual risk trimmed to anchor resolution at
non-800×600 + controls.ini cascade. Pointers added to LayoutImporter.cs and the
format-doc.
I1b — add AP-32: the importer collapses the dat's nested meter structure
(Type-7 → two Type-3 containers → three image-slice grandchildren each) into
UiMeter's programmatic 3-slice fields instead of building those nodes generically
and porting UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren. Standalone Type-0 text elements are
also skipped (Plan 2). Retail oracles: UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren @0x46fbd0,
UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x467aa0.
I1c — AP section header 31 → 32.
N1 — ElementReader.cs: comment at the Type-merge line explaining that a derived
Type 0 (text element) inherits the base's Type 12 (style prototype), which
DatWidgetFactory skips; safe for Plan 1 because vitals numbers render via
UiMeter.Label. Format-doc §10: correct the "render as UiDatElement" sentence to
"skipped entirely" (Type-0 → inherits Type-12 via Merge → factory returns null).
N4 — new conformance test VitalsTree_TextLabel_InheritsFontDidFromBaseLayout:
walks the raw ElementInfo tree from the fixture and asserts at least one element
carries FontDid==0x40000000, proving Resolve()'s inheritance merge fired against
real dat data. FixtureLoader gains LoadVitalsInfos() that returns the raw tree
without calling Build.
Tests: 36 pass (was 35), 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Fix 1: replace 3 copy-paste meter blocks in VitalsTree_MetersHaveExpectedSliceIds
with a single table-driven loop — a 4th meter is now a one-liner and failures
name the failing meter id directly.
Fix 2: FixtureLoader now reads the fixture as bytes and strips the UTF-8 BOM
(EF BB BF) before passing the span to JsonSerializer, so a BOM-bearing fixture
file never causes a spurious JsonReaderException.
Fix 3: add [Trait("Category", "Conformance")] at the class level so conformance
tests are selectable by category filter.
Fix 4: add missing <param name="layoutId"> doc tag to LayoutImporter.ImportInfos.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Job 1: extract LayoutImporter.ImportInfos() (public dat-shell half that returns the
resolved ElementInfo tree without building widgets) so fixture generation and
conformance tests can call it directly. Import() now delegates to ImportInfos() +

Job 2: generate tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/fixtures/vitals_2100006C.json
from the real portal.dat via a throwaway [Fact] generator (deleted, not committed).
System.Text.Json with IncludeFields=true — ValueTuple serializes as Item1/Item2.
Pre-write validation confirmed health meter BackLeft=0x0600747E FrontRight=0x06007483
rect (5,5,150,16). Round-trip deserialization re-validated before writing.
Job 3: FixtureLoader.LoadVitals() deserializes the fixture from the test output
directory (CopyToOutputDirectory item in csproj) and returns ImportedLayout via
LayoutImporter.Build(root, _ => (0,0,0), null) — no dats, no GL.
Job 4: LayoutConformanceTests — 3 golden tests (35 asserts total):
- VitalsTree_HasThreeMetersAtExpectedRects: 3 meters at x=5, w=150, h=16, y=5/21/37

Fix 1: Added a <para> to the VitalsController class summary citing
docs/research/2026-06-15-layoutdesc-format.md §11 as the source of the
three dat element ids, giving a paper trail back to the evidence per
the project's cite-in-comments rule.
Fix 2: Changed FakeLayout in VitalsBindingTests to accept (uint id,
UiElement e) tuples instead of (string idHex, UiElement e), and updated
all three call sites to pass VitalsController.Health/.Stamina/.Mana.
Tests now follow the constants automatically if they ever change rather
than silently passing with stale hex literals.

Mirrors retail gmVitalsUI::PostInit: grab Health/Stamina/Mana meters from
the imported layout by their dat element ids (0x100000E6 / EC / EE) and
wire Func<float> fill + Func<string> label providers. Missing ids are
silently skipped (no throw). Slice sprites + dat font already set by the
factory — this is pure data wiring, not graphics.

Implements Task 5 of the LayoutDesc Importer (Plan 1 — vitals conformance).
Pure layer (BuildFromInfos / Build):
- ImportedLayout result type: UiElement root + O(1) FindElement(uint id) lookup
- BuildWidget dispatches via DatWidgetFactory.Create; skips Type-12 prototypes (null)
- Meters consume their children (DatWidgetFactory already extracted slice ids —
adding the dat children as UiElement nodes would duplicate geometry)
- All other element types recurse children generically via AddChild
Dat shell (Import):
- Loads LayoutDesc from dats; null-safe if layout is absent
- Resolves each top-level ElementDesc to ElementInfo via Resolve():
BaseElement/BaseLayoutId chain with (layoutId,elementId) cycle guard
- ToInfo(): reads ElementDesc scalar fields (uint → float cast) + DirectState +
named States (UIStateId.ToString() as key)
- ReadState(): extracts first MediaDescImage (File + DrawMode) per state +
font DID from Properties[0x1A] → ArrayBaseProperty → DataIdBaseProperty.Value
- Each sibling element gets a fresh base-chain set (siblings don't share guards)
DRW API: all members confirmed from VitalsLayoutDump.cs usings — no
adjustments needed: LayoutDesc in DBObjs; ElementDesc/StateDesc/MediaDescImage/
ArrayBaseProperty/DataIdBaseProperty in Types; DrawModeType/UIStateId in Enums.
Tests (3/3 green):
- BuildFromInfos_HealthMeter_IsUiMeterAtRect — Type-7 child → UiMeter, Left=5, Width=150
- BuildFromInfos_Type12Child_IsSkipped_Type3Present — prototype absent, container present
- BuildFromInfos_MeterWithChildren_MeterPresent_ChildrenNotInTree — meter findable,
both dat-children absent, UiMeter.Children empty

Fix 1: SliceIds now projects the File id during Select rather than calling
TryGetValue twice (once in Where, once in the local File() helper). Added a
comment noting that OrderBy is stable so X-tie order follows insertion order.
Fix 2: BuildMeter emits a [D.2b] Console.WriteLine when the Type-3 container
count is not exactly 2, surfacing malformed or non-vitals meter elements during
Task 8 conformance testing without disturbing the existing solid-color fallback.
Fix 3: Test 5 adds two explicit NotEqual assertions confirming the
ShowDetail-only overlay sprite (OverlayFile = 0x06007490) did not leak into

Hybrid factory mapping ElementInfo.Type to a behavioral widget or the
UiDatElement generic fallback. Type 7 (UIElement_Meter) → UiMeter with
back/front 3-slice ids populated from grandchild image elements; Type 12
(style prototypes / BaseElement stores) → null so the importer skips
them; all other types → UiDatElement. Rect + anchors are set on every
returned widget via ElementReader.ToAnchors.
BuildMeter walks two levels of the element tree: the two Type-3 slice
containers ordered by ReadOrder (back behind, front on top), then within
each container the image children that carry a DirectState ("" key)
ordered by X for left-cap/center-tile/right-cap. The expand-detail
overlay (present in the front container with only named ShowDetail/
HideDetail states and no "" entry) is excluded by the TryGetValue("")
filter automatically — no name-matching needed.
Fill/Label providers are intentionally NOT set here; Task 6
(VitalsController) binds them to live stat data.
5 TDD tests: Type7→UiMeter, UnknownType→UiDatElement, Type12→null,
rect+anchors propagation, and meter slice extraction with overlay exclusion.

Generic fallback widget for every LayoutDesc element type without a
dedicated behavioral widget (chrome corners/edges, drag bars, resize grips).
Holds an ElementInfo + active-state name; draws that state's media by tiling
(UV-repeat on both S+T axes, matching ImgTex::TileCSI). DrawMode constants
documented per format spec §6 (Undefined=0, Normal=1, Overlay=2,
Alphablend=3 — no Stretch mode). Plan 1: all modes render as the same
alpha-blended tiled quad; per-mode branches deferred to Plan 2.

- Merge: defensive copy `new List<ElementInfo>(derived.Children)` so a
later mutation of the merged result or the input can't corrupt the other
- Merge: add comment on Width/Height 0-sentinel (Plan-1 safe; Plan-2
limitation and float?-upgrade path documented inline)
- Test: replace mid-sentence "Wait —" authoring trace in
EdgeFlagsToAnchors_ValueThree_FallsBackToTopLeft with a clean
conclusion-first summary of the value-3 mapping rule
9/9 ElementReaderTests pass; 0 build errors.

Implements Task 2 of the LayoutDesc Importer (Plan 1 — vitals conformance).
- ElementInfo POCO: GL-free/dat-free snapshot of a resolved layout element.
Shape matches the plan spec exactly (Id, Type as uint, X/Y/Width/Height as
float, raw Left/Top/Right/Bottom uint edge flags, ReadOrder, FontDid, StateMedia
dict, Children list). Tasks 3–6 depend on this shape.
- ElementReader.ToAnchors(uint,uint,uint,uint): maps dat edge-flag values
(0=none, 1=near-pin, 2=far-pin, 3=floating-center, 4=stretch) to AnchorEdges
bit flags. Corrects the plan's stale assumption that value 4 was the only anchor
trigger; the verified format doc §4 shows 1→Left/Top, 2→Right/Bottom, 4→both.
All-zero falls back to Left|Top (default pin top-left).
- ElementReader.Merge(base_, derived): inheritance merge mirroring BaseElement/
BaseLayoutId. Derived scalars win when non-zero; position/edge-flags/ReadOrder
always from derived; StateMedia merged (base defaults, derived overrides);
Children from derived only.
TDD: tests written first (9 tests covering ToAnchors near-pin/far-pin/stretch/
zero/value-3, Merge scalar override/font inheritance/StateMedia merge/children).
All 9 pass; dotnet build 0 errors 0 warnings.
