The two-client user gate PASSED 2026-08-14 (open both ways, stage with
the retail trading marker, accept/decline, executed swap, Clear All,
cancel text). Every TEMPORARY [trade] probe line from gate rounds 1-2 is
stripped (ItemInteractionController, SelectionInteractionController,
SecureTradeUiController, LiveSessionCommandRouter, WorldSession,
RuntimeTradeState). Roadmap gains the shipped-trade ledger row.
Suites after strip: App 4,992/3, Runtime 1,626 - green.

and [trade] seam probes
- Use on a selected player did nothing: the world Use path
(SelectionInteractionController.RequestUse) dispatches 0x0036 directly
and NEVER consults DetermineUseResult - lane C's "both paths already
classified" claim described the POLICY's capability, not a live
caller (the verify-subagent-claims lesson, again). Retail's
CPlayerSystem::UsingItem @0x00562F70 consults it and routes result 5
(another PLAYER) to AttemptToOpenTradeNegotiations @0x0056DEE0, peace
mode only, with no Use send. Ported as
ItemInteractionController.TryOpenSecureTradeWithPlayer, called at
RequestUse entry.
- The broken window: both grids rendered their raw authored strip art
with no cell layout (the gold-ring tile was the naked track). They now
get the vendor strips' exact single-row 32px config + the authored
empty-slot art resolved through ItemListCellTemplate (cell-template
attr 0x1000000E -> 0x1000033A).
- Drag-onto-player "nothing happens": the policy chain reads correct
end-to-end in code (pick -> PlaceIn3D -> StartSecureTrade -> event ->
cmd), so TEMPORARY [trade] probe lines now bracket every seam
(drag-release pick, policy arm, controller request, use-on-player) -
the next gate log pinpoints the break if it persists. Stripped once
the two-client gate passes.
App suite 4,990/3 skips.

authored gmSecureTradeUI window, and both retail open paths
Three-lane research first (docs/research/2026-08-14-trade-lane{A,B,C}):
retail gmSecureTradeUI decode, the byte-exact ACE/decomp/holtburger
three-way wire agreement, and the acdream seam map (which found both
open paths ALREADY classified by the ported policy - OpenSecureTrade on
Use-a-player, StartSecureTrade on drag-item-onto-player with the
DragItemOnPlayerOpensSecureTrade option - dead-ending at a stub toast).
- Core.Net: TradeRequests builders (0x1F6-0x204, retail's CM_Trade
senders byte-checked against ACE's readers; the ACE-discarded
AcceptTrade echo carries zero-count item lists - AD-94), corrected +
completed inbound parsers (0x1FD-0x208; the old AddToTrade parser
missed the SIDE dword, TradeFailure missed the reason), delegate-hole
registrars, six WorldSession sends. 10 golden-byte tests.
- Runtime: RuntimeTradeState, the third sibling J-owner (fellowship/
allegiance shape): session-scoped, clears at generation reset (new
stage Trade=14), staged teardown stage 11 (Identity/EntityObjects
shift 12/13, TeardownStageCount 14 - the FA2-era per-stage-flag test
caught the mapping exactly as designed), combined ownership ledger,
event routing with ACE's wrong-initiator RegisterTrade landmine
honored (partner = whichever guid is not mine). 7 conformance tests.
- App: SecureTradeUiController binds the dedicated authored LayoutDesc
0x2100000D (root 0x1000007A - gmSecureTradeUI::PostInit's exact ids):
partner name/status/count/grid, the authored 'Trade' accept toggle
(accept <-> decline withdraw), 'Clear All' (ACE clears BOTH sides -
surfaced honestly), the X close, drop-on-your-grid staging, per-mode
accept cues (partner icon's authored Highlight state + Trade button
Selected latch). Mounted via the vendor recipe (nine-slice chrome,
hidden until RegisterTrade). ItemInteractionController's two policy
arms now raise SecureTradeRequested instead of the stub toast; the
drag path queues the dragged item until the window registers
(ClientTradeSystem::AttemptToTradeItem @0x0056DF80's shape).
Register: AD-94 (accept-echo zero-count lists), AD-95 (numeric-only
count texts pending template verification).
Suites: App 4,990/3, Core.Net 905, Runtime 1,626 - all green. The
panel itself is user-gate acceptance (two-client connected trade), the
#372-class lesson: fixture-green alone is not acceptance for a mount.

refused-drop yellow notice
Item 4 (confirmation dialogs missing text + names): the missing retail
mechanism was StringTable template substitution - an entry is N+1 literal
fragments interleaved with N named variables, composed by
StringTable::GetString @0x004300D0 (no-metalanguage branch @0x004303B7).
ACE sends the bare player name for types 1/4; retail's OWN CLIENT wraps
it. Ported as DatStringResolver.ResolveTemplate (PLAYER hash 0x05506DA2,
the exact compute_str_hash space; Chorizite stores the variable hashes
directly):
- Server-driven type 4 -> ID_Fellowship_FellowshipRequest, type 1 ->
ID_Allegiance_AcceptSwearConfirmation, injected into
GameplayConfirmationController; null resolve falls back to the bare
wire message, never invented English. The 2/3/5/6 " Continue?" family
never consults the composer.
- Local Swear/Break/Kick: the bind-time fragment-0 latch (which showed
the dangling "Do you wish to swear to ") is replaced by click-time
ResolveTemplate with the target's name.
All five templates verified token-free in the installed DAT - this is
NOT a StringTableMetaLanguage port (AD-81's engine caveat stands).
Item 5 (refused drop shows nothing; retail shows yellow top-center
text): the prevRequest latch was ALREADY ported (InventoryTransactionState);
what was missing was the consumer. InventoryTransactionState now raises
RequestFailed(request, weenieError) when a 0x00A0 clears the latch;
ItemInteractionController composes ServerSaysAttemptFailed @0x0058EAE0's
"The <item> can't be <verb>" (verb table + suffix map ported verbatim in
Core's InventoryFailureMessages, NAME_PLURAL for merge/split) and routes
it as LogTextType 0x1A ClientLocal -> the SpewBox, retail's yellow
top-center line. The dispatcher's second leg (@0x0055B342) also runs:
outside the 7-code exclusion set, WeenieErrorMessages resolves per-code
text/destination; 0x426 AttunedItem has no row in either place beyond
the verb line - faithful single-line output.
Register: AD-85 narrowed to its numeric-field item, AD-81 amended (the
token-free interleave is now ported; meta-token engine + FormatName
remain), AD-93 filed (wire-guid-match vs retail's latched-guid
preference; no Move/Wield latch kinds).
Tests: +2 InventoryTransactionState failure-latch, +5 ResolveTemplate
(constructed StringTable fixtures), +1 composer injection, +1 end-to-end
refused-drop line. Core 4,697/1 skip, App 4,983/3 skips.

Both chains pinned by the live [vendor-diag] run (vendor-diag.log)
after three code-reading rounds each failed:
The split bar: ACE serializes descStackSize=1 for EVERY browse row
(live wire, log 343-348) — the R1-era "ACE never populates desc"
claim is retracted with the line quoted. Retail's vendor sites read
pwd._maxStackSize directly (four sites, incl. UpdateItemsList
@0x004c1ea0 stamping min(remaining, _maxStackSize));
ResolveAuthoredStackSize flips to max-first for its vendor-only
consumers. Taper ceiling 1000, scarab 100, seed 1 for exempt.
Pricing still reads the desc (per-1 values on ACE).
Walk-to-use: the local player's getObjectA seam was bound to
TryGetPhysicsHost, which resolves only INSTALLED physics hosts — a
never-animated vendor has none, so TargetManager.SetTarget got null,
the MoveToObject armed with zero nodes, and UseTime never dispatched.
The log's natural=False completions were the user's own movement keys
(retail-correct input-edge cancels); attempt 4 worked because the
greeting animation had installed a host. RuntimePhysicsState gains
the retail CObjectMaint::GetObjectA seam (bound canonical resolver
with installed-host fallback); the graphical host binds the SAME
lazy-minimal-host resolver every remote already uses — whose own doc
comment names this exact never-animated hazard. The reservation
release was already correct (2b premise refuted with evidence); the
production-wiring invariants are now pinned by four new tests
including the pre-fix pathology as a permanent sabotage control.
AP-169 rewritten a second time, honestly. The [vendor-diag] probe
family (ACDREAM_DUMP_VENDOR) lands env-gated for future live triage.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,536 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

All thirteen findings, each anchored in recovered bytes or pc reads:
Buy All now runs retail's four PRE-SEND guards in order (pyreal and
alt-currency affordability, container and item slot capacity; strings
recovered from .rdata at 0x007b57b4/0x007b5750) — a rejected batch can
no longer destroy the staged list. Staged adds ACCUMULATE with the
5000 cap ("I can't possibly sell you that much!..." @0x007b59d8) and
the shop rows decrement/restore per RemoveFromShop. The max-value sell
rejection exempts trade notes — the raw bytes at 0x005d1add are `not`
(bitwise), not the pseudo-C's misleading `!`, and the early ret skips
the min check too. BF_RETAINED gates selling end to end (the bit was
already on ClientObject; AP-164's three claims were all false once
traced — RETIRED). Dragging over the vendor window auto-opens the
Selling tab per UpdateDragOver — with a correction to the review's own
citation: token 0x100000cd is the SELLING page, the guard is
"don't reopen the current tab." Sells are full-stack-only (three
retail sites; "Cannot sell part of a stack" @0x007b57ec) and Sell Item
acts on the global selection unconditionally. The confirm string gains
its byte-true trailing '?', dies with the session, staged-row
highlights repaint, dead guids unstage with retail's shopping-list
notice, and move-to-use no longer walks to targets the dispatch would
refuse.
AP-162 narrowed, AP-164 retired, AP-167/AP-168 filed honest.

C1 an out-of-range Use now approaches first via the existing
client-predicted BeginApproach (Pickup's far-range shape mirrored;
retail's ItemHolder::UseObject @0x00588A80 has no range check and the
dispatch stays immediate). C2 Add-to-List stages into the Buying tab
via VendorStagingList (RemoveProfileFromList's two shapes,
pc:200497-200537), Buy All sends ONE batched 0x005F and flushes
staging on send exactly as retail does (SendShopEvent -> Flush,
pc:204075-204076 — not UseDone-gated), and X-close over a non-empty
staging list shows retail's confirm string recovered verbatim from the
binary data segment (0x007b5bd8) through the existing dialog factory.
C3 the Selling tab's list is the sole drop target (retail's single
IsAncestorOfMe gate, pc:204229-204246); VendorSellAcceptability ports
InqAcceptability with all rejection strings recovered verbatim from
the raw data segment; the sell side prices with BuyPrice (retail's
inverted naming: what the vendor PAYS) and 0x0060 carries no trailing
currency field, unlike Buy. C4 the status-bar reproduction test PASSES
against the production toolbar mount — retail's toolbar shows count +
name with the split bar and NO price parenthetical (that figure is the
vendor row's own cost text); no code change, the live gate referees.
C5 pack order verified correct, untouched.
Register: AP-161 narrowed to its two pre-existing cosmetic gaps;
AP-162 extended over Buy All; AP-164 (non-sellable bitfield
unmodeled), AP-165 (DescStackSize for _maxStackSize in the removal
test, bounded), AP-166 (purse text + pending-sell highlight cosmetic)
filed.

All nine findings from the buy-arc review, at root:
F1 the materializer's retire pass re-checks ownership (guid->vendorId
map; remove only while the live object's ContainerId still equals the
recording vendor) — buying a player-sold UNIQUE no longer deletes the
item you just purchased; the discriminating reparent-then-refresh test
pins it. F2 the cost/name display subscribes to the live split state
and shares ONE quantity computation with Buy (retail re-renders per
slider tick: RecvNotice_StackSliderChanged 0x004C4500) — the sentence
and the charge can no longer disagree. F3 shop rows never mint drag
payloads (UiItemSlot.AllowDragSource gates both IsDragSource AND
GetDragPayload — the second gate was caught by this pass's own test).
F4 sendBuy reports whether anything was sent; a null-session buy
cancels the reservation instead of leaking BusyCount forever.
F5 the retire loop snapshots, isolates per-guid observer failures, and
clears its tracking in finally and Dispose — teardown convergence can
no longer wedge. F6 auto-select is retail's unconditional
first-filtered-item shape (pc:201180-201184; the survival-check was
our invention and the comment claiming otherwise is corrected).
F7 non-stack buys clamp to quantity 1 locally (BuySingleItem
pc:201669). F8 the Add button is hard-disabled until staging exists.
F9 AP-161/162/163 rewritten to the post-fix reality.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,378 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.
The #350 render-ledger overflow observed this session is under
separate investigation and is NOT addressed here.

Three ordered pieces in one landing (the shared controller/composition
files carry all three; the internal order was 6.1 -> 6.2 -> 6.3):
6.1 VendorShopItemMaterializer diff-merges the shop list into the live
ClientObjectTable on VendorState transitions (so client-local close and
session teardown retire the entries too) and never claims a guid it did
not add — ACE's UniqueItemsForSale can re-list a guid a player once
held (AP-163 files the collision-skip; no retail counterpart traced).
Right-click examine on shop items now routes through the ordinary
appraisal path — the 5.4 F7c blocker dissolves with the table entries.
6.2 SelectionChangeSource.Vendor: row clicks, auto-select, and examine
all flow through the canonical SelectionState; the status bar and the
existing byte-faithful StackSplitQuantityState slider light up
unmodified. VendorSplitPolicy is the single 0xDC41CB0 mask owner; the
slider VALUE seeds to 1 for exempt items while maxSplitSize keeps the
stack (the splitSize/maxSplitSize distinction, research §B.3).
Selection clears at retail's actual site — VendorItemsUI::RemoveFromShop
(pc:202848), not a CloseVendor-level clear that does not exist.
6.3 BuildBuy (0x005F): vendorGuid, count, (i32 amount, u32 guid) pairs,
and the trailing alternateCurrencyId the REAL client sends
(CM_Vendor::Event_Buy pc:689288) though ACE's reader ignores it.
TryBuy rides the EXISTING J5.2 one-request-at-a-time reservation and
completes on UseDone; the Buy button disables while a request is in
flight. The reconciliation round-trip (money property update, inventory
CreateObject, ApproachVendor refresh -> panel rebuild) is proven by a
synthetic-inbound test against existing machinery — no new owner.
Register: AP-161 narrowed (selection + examine residuals close;
staging/Sell remain; double-click-to-buy confirmed ABSENT from retail
with negative evidence cited — we match retail). AP-162 files the
conscious no-client-side-affordability-precheck deferral.
Clean-room complete solution: 11,368 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

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.

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).

Move the retail one-request-at-a-time gate, shared use busy references, external-container state, item mana, shortcuts, and desired-component snapshots into one Runtime-owned graph over J3's exact ClientObjectTable. Retained UI and session routing now borrow that owner; reset and shutdown preserve the existing order while failure/reentrancy tests protect the transaction boundary.

Preserve retail's one-pending-appraisal busy lifetime, parse the complete gated response, and mount the authored examination layout in the shared main-panel host. Keep known 3D preview and inscription-write gaps explicit in AP-110.
Port the retail selected-object availability predicate into Core and project it through the shared interaction owner. The imported hand now follows canonical selection/object notices, keeps weapon and targeted-tool activation on the existing wield/use cursor paths, and ghosts empty or explicitly unusable selections per the connected UX requirement.

Route F-key pickup through the same ItemHolder backpack placement entry point as double-click activation so the inventory reserves the destination slot before the request is sent.
Carry local WorldEntity identity through render hits, lighting pulses, and deferred movement actions so GUID reuse cannot target a replacement. Reset all session-owned selection and ItemHolder state and prevent combat auto-target during teardown.
Keep active-combat AutoWield intent through ACE's pre-wield transition and queued trailing peace notice, while allowing explicit combat input to supersede it.
Queue one-shot item interactions until the frame's movement edge has been serialized, so a movement release cannot cancel ACE's server-side corpse approach callback.

Complete the retail cast-intent, target, component, enchantment, and busy-state paths; mount the DAT-authored spell bar, spellbook, component book, effects panels, and shared panel lifecycle; and add scoped input plus conformance coverage.

Late-bind radar snapshots to the canonical LiveEntityRuntime maps so the retained radar survives bootstrap and session replacement instead of capturing empty sentinels.
Route paperdoll drops through the retail AutoWield blocker transaction. Move conflicting held weapons, shields, explicit jewelry destinations, and mismatched ammo to the backpack one authoritative confirmation at a time; preserve compatible arrows when switching to melee.
Render mode-1 and no-degrade particle GfxObjs as their authored modern-pipeline meshes, retain Always2D billboards, interleave both paths back-to-front, balance emitter mesh ownership, and fail safely on corrupt DAT material metadata. This restores the closed apex on Armor Self/protection effects.
Retain Studio fixture controller lifetimes, add installed-DAT and adversarial regression coverage, synchronize retail research/divergence bookkeeping, and pass all three review tracks plus the full Release suite.

Preserve SmartBox drag-release coordinates, route the picked 3-D target through the retail AttemptPlaceIn3D policy, and send authoritative GiveObject requests with the selected stack quantity. Honor PlayerDescription's player secure-trade option and document the remaining trade-system boundary.

Replace the single mutable confirmation service with retail's property-backed DialogFactory model: fresh DAT roots, context ids, queue groups, priority preemption, callback/close-notice ordering, and context cancellation. Route /die, server confirmation aborts, and guarded item use through focused semantic owners.

Keep the retail inventory transaction busy until authoritative WieldObject confirms the requested weapon. This prevents rapid weapon changes from overlapping on ACE and rejecting otherwise valid items such as spears.

Sequence primary weapon replacement through the server-confirmed AutoWield transaction: return the occupied weapon to the player pack, wait for its move event, then wield the requested item. Route authoritative CombatMode property updates so peace stays peace and war adopts the new weapon stance without client-synthesized animation.

Route the selected stack quantity through retail GetObjectSplitSize semantics, send exact split-to-container and split-to-ground actions, and keep the original object in place until the server publishes the newly guided stack. Cover selection scoping, wire bytes, container placement, and world drops with conformance tests.

Give retained buttons a reusable item-drop seam, wire the toolbar backpack target, and port retail stack-merge legality, capacity clamping, wire dispatch, destination selection, and immediate shortcut rekey notice. Record the live ACE merge gate and keep split quantity under AP-101.

Port global toolbar use/select/create actions, migrate the collapsed Ctrl-number bindings, and route them through a focused retained-UI controller. Preserve shortcut aliases as aliases across inventory and paperdoll drops with retail's neutral/accept/reject drag states, preventing physical item moves such as unwielding an equipped helmet.

Visual gate on the item-interaction slice found two target-use bugs:
the valid-target bullseye showed over inventory ITEMS (a coat is not a
valid healing-kit target) while the paperdoll doll showed blocked (it
should mean SELF).
- TargetCompatible is now a faithful port of
ItemHolder::IsTargetCompatibleWithTargetingObject (0x00588070):
a location constraint applies only when the least-limited target-use
bit (ItemUses::GetLeastLimitedTargetUse 0x004fcd50, new
ItemUseability.LeastLimitedTargetUse) is Contained/Wielded; the
player as target requires the Self bit (IsUseable_SelfTarget
0x004fcd30); and EVERY target passes retail's kind gate
source._targetType & target->InqType(). The previous hand-rolled
arms (Remote => accept anything, invented Viewed/Contained accepts,
self path skipping the kind gate) were the yellow-over-items bug.
Retail's tradeState refusal is skipped (no trade state yet).
- The paperdoll doll viewport now carries UseTargetGuidProvider =
player and Clicked -> AcquireSelfTarget (UiViewport gains an opt-in
Clicked handler), so hovering the doll resolves the self cursor and
clicking it applies the armed kit to yourself.
- AcquireTarget logs one [use-target] line (wire useability, TargetType
mask, target kind, decision) so live refusals are diagnosable from
the launch log.
- Test fixtures updated from the guessed kit useability 0x000A0008 to
the real USEABLE_SOURCE_CONTAINED_TARGET_REMOTE_OR_SELF (0x00220008,
ACE Usable.SourceContainedTargetRemoteOrSelf) + TargetType masks;
new coverage pins the kind gate, the Self-bit requirement, the
missing-mask-matches-nothing shape, and the Contained location rule.
Full suite green (3,294).

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.
