The user's first click on a mapping button killed the client: the live
dialog catalog's wait root 0x31 carries retail class type 0x19 (WaitDialog),
which DatWidgetFactory left unmapped, so the root built as a plain
UiDatElement and RetailWaitDialogView's ctor threw out of UiButton.OnClick
into the render loop. The unit test missed it by standing the confirmation
fixture (type 0x13, mapped) in for the wait root — the structural-false-
negative class again. Pins: DatWidgetFactoryTests theory for both dialog
root types, plus an installed-DAT UiDialogRoot/0x3D/0x3E assertion in the
env-gated keyboard probe. OpenCaptureInstructions now converts a dialog
construction failure into its contracted 0-return (log + capture refused,
retail's own OpenMapWarnDialog failure shape) instead of crashing.

machine + UiText per-state string swap (user retail gate)
The state side already worked (FriendsState replaces the full entry and
bumps Revision on 0x0021 OnlineStatus updates; the parser reads full
FriendData for every update type). The UI side had two gaps, exposed by
the installed-DAT row-template probe (template layout 0x2100005D root
0x10000519):
- The row authors TWO cells: the LEFT name text 0x1000051A whose
Online (0x10000054) / Offline (0x10000055) PassToChildren states
cascade into the RIGHT status grandchild 0x1000051F, which authors
per-state 'Online'/'Offline' strings AND per-state colors (retail's
green Online). The controller's FindDeepest binding wrote the NAME
into the STATUS cell (the deepest text IS the status grandchild) and
never flipped the state machine - so the status column never showed
or updated anything.
- UiText had no per-state authored-string swap: ApplyDatState switched
sprite + color per state but never the 0x17 string. Ported now
(second consumer of the mechanism after the powerbar caption):
DatWidgetFactory pre-resolves each state's authored string;
TrySetRetailState swaps the line, colored by the SAME state's
authored 0x1B.
SocialFriendsPageController now binds the name to its own cell and
flips the authored Online/Offline state per friend on every
Revision-driven rebuild - the cascade renders the status cell exactly
as retail's gmFriendsUI does, green Online included.
App suite 4,989/3 skips (new per-state swap conformance test).

gate; the DAT authors it)
The raw-property probe settles it exactly as the user reported: the
powerbar caption's mode STATES author their OWN justification (0x14
Enum=0x3 = Right on JumpMode/MeleeMode/MissileMode) while the element
default stays centered. ElementInfo.HJustify only ever read the
effective DEFAULT state, so the earlier "authored Center" conclusion
measured the wrong state.
The meter's absorbed state-label entry now carries the state's own
authored alignment (state 0x14 wins, element-level HJustify as the
fallback, ElementReader's same enum mapping), and the caption draw
aligns accordingly - 'Height' sits at the bar's right edge, retail's
placement. Live vitals labels keep their centered draw.
App suite 4,987/3 skips.

Retail authors ONE caption element per bar with per-mode state strings,
switched by a PassToChildren state cascade (gmPowerbarUI::
RecvNotice_BeginPowerbar @0x004DA730 sets 0x10000042 Jump / 0x10000043
Melee / 0x10000044 Missile / 0x10000045 DDD; installed-DAT probe
confirmed every string + PassToChildren flag).
- Jump bar (user gate): the floaty powerbar's caption child (0x10000035:
JumpMode 'Height', authored HJustify=Center over the bar) was dropped
by UiMeter's child absorption. The stateful-fill meter build now
absorbs it into per-state labels; TrySetRetailState latches the
caption and OnDraw shows it when no live Label provider is bound.
JumpPowerbarController's existing JumpMode flip now surfaces 'Height'
with zero controller changes. The mount gained the string resolver the
Build call never passed.
- Combat bar (user gate): label 0x10000052 authors 'MeleeCombat' ->
'Power' and 'MissileCombat' -> 'Accuracy'; the controller latched the
MELEE string once at bind. CombatUiLabels now resolves both authored
strings and OnCombatModeChanged sets the mode's string - switching
live when swapping melee <-> missile weapons in combat. Also fixed
the mode-state flip target: the states live on the BASIC PANEL
(0x1000005C, PassToChildren), not the layout root (Hide/ShowDetail
only) - the old _root flip was a silent no-op.

move-cursor border band
- Empty-state text (round 3): the literal-\n split was correct but each
authored LINE rendered as one clipped run. Retail word-wraps each
authored line within the element extent (its GlyphList draw - the
same wrap RetailConfirmationDialogView already uses). Multiline
authored text now wraps through UiText.WrapWords against the widget's
LIVE width/font/color (cached per width+font+color, re-read per call).
Single-line authored labels keep their one-run shape - re-wrapping
every label is a client-wide change no gate asked for.
- Move cursor (round 3): "the frame won the hit-test" is not a border
test - windows whose interior is not fully covered by children (the
inventory panel's empty regions) resolve those pixels to the frame
too. The border is now a geometric 8 px band along the window's outer
edge, AND the frame must win the hit-test so border-adjacent content
keeps its own cursor. Resize-edge claim still takes precedence;
whole-surface dragging unchanged.
App suite 4,984/3 skips (new BuildText_MultilineAuthored wrap test).

empty state, retail amber row selection
- Move cursor (user-directed, ALL windows): HoverWindowMove now
advertises only where the window frame element itself wins the
hit-test - its border pixels; interior points resolve to content
children. Matches retail's Dragbar-chrome-only move cursor.
Whole-surface dragging still works, it just does not advertise.
- Empty-state text (round 2): the DAT stores the LITERAL two-character
escape backslash-n (probe-verified - the dump printed the escape, not
line breaks), so the round-1 newline split never matched. Escapes are
normalized before splitting in DatWidgetFactory authored text.
- Selected fellow amber (user: "check retail"): probe-verified - the
row name band 0x10000282 AUTHORS the retail selected-row art
(DirectState 0x06001450 + Highlight 0x06001451, the amber). Selection
flips the band's ActiveState to Highlight; no invented tint.

One user-ordered batch across the FA social panel + world selection.
Every root cause was probe-proven before the fix (new
ProbeSocialClickRouting in SocialPanelLiveMountProbeTests - production
window mount + real UiRoot hit-tests + a synthetic click):
1. STUCK CHECKBOXES (fellowship x4, allegiance x1, "always checked /
can't change any options"): the authored checkboxes carry DAT
ToggleBehavior, so UiButton SELF-FLIPS Selected at MouseUp - the old
handlers read the flipped value and wrote the ORIGINAL back, snapping
every click to where it started (the probe recorded (id, oldValue)).
Fix: SuppressSelfToggle (the CH6a/b mirror discipline) + derive the
next value from the STORE; the per-tick seeding mirrors it back.
2. UNCLICKABLE ROSTER ROWS ("only get the move window cursor"): the row
name text is display-text ClickThrough=true, which the hit-test walk
skips regardless of HandlesClick - the wired OnClick was unreachable.
Fix: UiText.OnClick assignment now clears ClickThrough (central,
documented); the stats text gains the same select handler so most of
the row's width selects the fellow.
3. TRUNCATED EMPTY-STATE ("You do not belong... To create MISSING"):
the authored string resolves COMPLETE (three sentences) but embedded
'\n's rendered as one clipped line. DatWidgetFactory now splits
authored strings into one Line per newline, with the provider still
re-reading DefaultColor live (the state-color contract - caught by
BuildText_AuthoredLineTracksStateFontColor).
4. FELLOW NAMES WHITE (user-directed): the AD-82 invented leader-gold +
selection-blue tints are deleted; names always white (register row
narrowed).
5. ALLEGIANCE HEADER LABELS: bare "0"/"0" -> "Followers: N" / "Rank: [N]"
(user-specified format; the full retail StringInfo composition stays
AD-85's gap), monarch block matching.
6. FRIENDS/SQUELCH LIVE (AD-79 mostly retired): Add friend (name box ->
0x0018, retail clears the box - Request_AddFriend @0x0048D240),
Remove (row-click selection -> 0x0017), Appear Offline (CharacterOption
0x27 via the immediate 0x0005 auto-save, ACE pushes FriendStatusChanged
to your friend-of list), Squelch Character/Account add-by-name
(0x0058 guid0/type AllChannels + 0x0059) and Remove for the selected
row. The wire beneath (builders, WorldSession sends, Runtime commands,
parsers) existed end-to-end since J4.1/FA1 - this is panel wiring only
(docs/research/2026-08-13-social-wire-completion.md, committed here).
Send Tell stays inert (not in the order; AD-79's remainder).
7. WORLD SELF-SELECTION ("clicking my own char should select myself"):
retail has NO self-exclusion (CPhysicsPart::Draw @0x0050D823 arms
every physobj; RecvNotice_SmartBoxObjectFound @0x004E5BAE selects
unconditionally) - the includeSelf gate was an unregistered
divergence, now removed on both the left-click and right-click paths.
Element roles were probe-measured, never guessed (Add 0x10000514 /
Remove 0x10000515 / Send Tell 0x10000516 / Appear Offline 0x1000052C /
name field 0x1000051B; Squelch: field 0x10000540, Remove 0x10000547,
Squelch Character 0x1000054B, Squelch Account 0x1000054C).
Register: AD-79 mostly retired, AD-82 narrowed. Known remainder, filed
not hidden: the fellowship page's authored 600px content vs the 362px
viewport leaves Dismiss/Assign-Leader below the fold until the window is
resized taller (probe-measured; candidate follow-up).
Tests: Checkbox_Click fact rewritten to the mirror contract (both
directions), monarch-followers label updated, includeSelf expectation
updated, probe extended (click routing, synthetic click, action-widget
role dump). App suite 4,976/3 skips.

Binds LayoutDesc 0x2100005C through OP2's template-list mechanism and
OP3's per-page OptionPage model: the General Options header + two
DualHash-linked opacity sliders (Option_DefaultOpacity_Property
0x10000080 / Option_ActiveOpacity_Property 0x10000081, live-apply on
drag through RetailWindowOpacityController, defaults read from the
installed DAT's DBProperties collection at DID 0x78000001 via
ChatOptionsDatDefaults), and the five per-window text-filter blocks
(main window 12 rows minus Gameplay, four floaties 13 rows each — the
byte-verified authored order cross-checked against the raw
gmChatOptionsUI::InitOptions/AddCheckboxBitfield64Option pseudo-C, not
just the research doc's own table) writing AcDream.Core.Chat.
ChatWindowState directly, the same state CH6's chat windows already
read.
AP-195 retired: ported both halves left open at the OP2 re-review —
the ALL-set LED media swap (new UiButton.FaceFileOverride, driven by
the block-level P0x10000082/P0x10000083 sprites now threaded through
ElementInfo/DatWidgetFactory) and the CreateChildren self-sizing tail
(UiCheckboxBitfield64.Height grows with its stacked row content; the
enclosing ListBox reflows around the block's FINAL height via the new
UiTemplateListBox.AddPrebuiltRow, reusing the ListBox's own stacking
rather than a third stacking path). AP-187 broadened to cover the main
window's own filter (previously only the four floaties) and the new
live-editing write path.
The main chat window's filter (retail window id 8, ChatWindowState id
0) gains its own settings.json persistence (ChatSettings.
ChatWindowMainFilter) alongside the pre-existing floaty 1-4 fields;
opacity persistence is now wired on every live slider change, not only
through the old dev-scaffold Settings panel.
Fixture regeneration (ACDREAM_REGENERATE_UI_FIXTURES=1) picked up the
new ElementInfo.LedCheckedSprite/LedUncheckedSprite fields across all
19 committed layout fixtures — purely additive, confirmed against the
live installed DAT (0x10000520's own 0x82/0x83 properties resolve to
0x06004D17/0x06004D19 exactly as AP-195 documented).
Conformance: FilterRows/FilterBlocks pinned against the byte-verified
authored order and ChatWindowState's own default constants; the AP-195
LED swap and self-sizing behavior; the DAT opacity-default extraction
against the live installed DAT; live filter/opacity writes reaching
ChatWindowState/RetailWindowOpacityController; OnShown re-seed and
Reset/Defaults ghosting per the OP4 binding-pattern discipline.

OP2 (df9c7a35) was double-REJECTed: an unconditional Type-8/Type-5 factory
mapping silently re-classed 15 elements across 7 shipped panels (vendor
backdrop lost its fill, character/spellbook roots stopped passing clicks
through, combat gained a phantom import-time tab takeover, ten ListBoxes
gained a spurious hit-testable viewport) because the stale 27 pre-existing
fixtures never exercised the new fields — and the mechanism itself cited a
nonexistent "UIElement_TabControl" class, inverted UiCheckboxBitfield64's
checked-state predicate, and synthesized fake per-row geometry instead of
using the widget's own authored template.
Shape change: UiTabPanel (renamed from UiTabControl) and UiTemplateListBox
now derive from UiDatElement (unsealed) and stay DORMANT by default — an
imported Type-8/Type-5 element gets authored-media drawing, ClickThrough
generic-decoration default, and IUiDatStateful propagation identical to the
pre-OP2 UiDatElement fallback, with zero import-time side effects. The
factory's Type-8/Type-5 arms are unconditional again (no more guard whose
premise the blast-radius sweep proved false), because dormancy makes an
unactivated instance behaviorally indistinguishable from the old fallback.
UiTabPanel.ActivateTabBehavior() and UiTemplateListBox's lazy viewport
creation are the explicit, controller-driven opt-ins Campaign OP slice OP3+
will call; today nothing does, so the four pre-existing shipped Type-8
hosts (character/spellbook/vendor/combat) and ten pre-existing Type-5
ListBoxes keep their pre-OP2 behavior exactly. Filed AD-73 for this
dormant-vs-retail's-unconditional-activation adaptation.
Mechanism fixes (docs/research/2026-08-11-op2-review-mechanism.md):
- UiTabPanel cites UIElement_Panel (Type 8 is UIElement_Panel; no
UIElement_TabControl exists in the PDB), resolves buttons/pages via a
GetChildRecursive-equivalent descendant search (not direct-children-only),
performs no switch when no entry authors 0x32 (deleted the _tabs[0]
fallback), and surfaces unresolved tab-table entries via UnresolvedEntries
+ a diagnostic line instead of a silent no-op.
- ElementReader.ReadTabTable skips entries missing 0x30/0x31, matching
retail's SetupTabPageHash @0x0046C2E0 entry filter.
- UiCheckboxBitfield64 now builds every row from its OWN authored template
(property 0x64 -> {0x2100002B, 0x10000521}) via AddItemFromTemplateList,
deleting the synthesized ElementInfo + invented RowHeight=14 — matching
retail's CreateChildren @0x00485DF0, which is itself a UIElement_ListBox
call. IsSet is now retail's ANY-bit-set predicate (Refresh @0x004859C0),
not all-bits-set. TS-72 retired: the click-toggle bit math is now fully
decomp-confirmed (SetBitsOnOrOff via ListenToElementMessage @0x00485AE0).
Regenerated all 32 UI fixtures against real DAT (ACDREAM_REGENERATE_UI_FIXTURES=1)
and committed them — 27 pre-existing fixtures now carry Outline/OutlineColor/
TabTable/TemplateList/ScrollbarElementId; the 5 Options fixtures were already
current. Updated EffectsUiControllerTests' now-correct UiTemplateListBox
class-identity assertion. Added: 6 built-widget behavior pins for all five
pre-existing Type-8 elements + a representative Type-5 element the dormancy
model protects (OP2ReworkBlastRadiusConformanceTests.cs); 5 reader-level
tests driving ReadTabTable/ReadTemplateList/the 0x72 reader from raw
property bags (ElementReaderTests.cs); a multi-bit-mask UiCheckboxBitfield64
test proving the any-bit predicate (the prior single-bit test couldn't
distinguish it from all-bits); an activation-idempotency test and a
before-activation click-is-inert test for UiTabPanel.

Ships the two new widget primitives the retail Options panel needs plus the
four remaining UIOption_* factory mappings, so every tab page (OP3-OP6) has
somewhere to mount.
- ElementReader/ElementInfo gain three new dat-property readers, following
the existing effective-state-resolution pattern (never a per-state
first-wins scan, per the round-5 N1 lesson): the Type-8 tab table
(property 0x2E -> TabTable), a ListBox's row-template list (property
0x64 -> TemplateList), and scrollbar linkage (property 0x72 ->
ScrollbarElementId). LayoutImporter gains one hook
(IUiChildrenAttachedListener) so a widget can resolve cross-references
its own dat properties name by id once its subtree actually exists.
- UiTabControl (Type 8): switches exactly one page-slot child visible,
syncs each tab button's Open/Closed state via the existing
RetailTabBinding helper, and honors the authored default tab on mount.
- UiTemplateListBox (Type 5 with an authored template list): wraps a
UiScrollablePanel viewport (sealed, so composition not inheritance) and
ports AddItemFromTemplateList(index) — the resolver seam a page
controller wires with real DAT access via the SAME
LayoutImporter.ImportInfos(dats, layoutId, elementId) overload
RetailDialogFactory already uses for its catalog LayoutDesc.
- DatWidgetFactory maps the four remaining UIOption_* widgets, each
verified against the regenerated options_2100002B.json fixture before
writing any code: 0x10000037 (Slider) is structurally an ordinary
horizontal UIElement_Scrollbar, so it reuses BuildScrollbar directly;
0x10000038 (Menu) is structurally identical to the vendor category
dropdown UiMenu already models, so it reuses `new UiMenu()` like the
Type-6 case; 0x10000036 (CheckboxSlider) composes an existing
UIOption_Checkbox child + UIOption_Slider child via the new
UiOptionToggleSlider wrapper; 0x10000044 (CheckboxBitfield64) authors
zero children in the dat (every row is added at runtime via retail's own
AddChild(lowMask, highMask, label, tooltip) call shape), so it's a new
UiCheckboxBitfield64 composing UiButton per row. No new drawing code
anywhere in this set.
- Five new committed fixtures (options_2100002B/2100002A/21000028/
2100005C/21000029) plus 25 new conformance tests pinning the tab table
(4 entries, Gameplay default), all three template arrays, scrollbar
linkage, every new widget-type mapping, and a UiTabControl behavioral
test (switch -> exactly one page visible, click-through the tab
button). The Character ListBox's authored 6-header/49-toggle shape
(lane B section counts) is proven reachable end-to-end through
AddItemFromTemplateList against the committed fixture.
- Regenerating fixtures also touched 27 PRE-EXISTING, unrelated fixtures
(an Outline/OutlineColor field pair added by an earlier commit,
bcc34ee3, that predates when those fixtures were last regenerated).
Per the slice contract, that drift was NOT committed — reverted back to
HEAD, only the five new Options-panel fixtures are new files here.
- Filed TS-72: UiCheckboxBitfield64's click-toggle bit math (AND/OR
set/clear semantics) is a documented approximation — the decompiled
excerpt this campaign pulled covers UIOption_CheckboxBitfield64::Apply's
WRITE side, not its own click-handler's bit math. Flagged for OP5 (the
Chat tab controller, the first consumer that reaches the wire) to
verify against the real decomp before any live transaction depends on
it; nothing user-reachable can observe this yet.
Full Release suite: 12,770 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (was 12,745/4/0

Collects the post-gate polish left uncommitted by the killed round-5 agent
(S1/S3 + review fixes N1/N3/N4) and completes the missing S2 half:
- S1: UiText multi-line transcript + colored-run label now submit EVERY
line/run's outline pass before ANY fill pass, matching retail's
UIElement_Text::DrawSelf @0x00467aa0 whole-block walk. DrawStringDatPass
is exposed for block-level batching; single lines keep DrawStringDat.
- S2 (completed this commit): authored outline 0x21/0x22 now reaches every
text-bearing widget — UiButton, UiDatElement, UiField, UiMeter, UiMenu,
UiCatalogSlot — seeded from the element's effective-default state exactly
like UiText (BuildButton lifts the label-bearing Text child's authored
value first, same chain as the label color). Per-STATE outline switching
(dialog/character/combat buttons author 0x21 in state 0x3 only) is NOT
ported — filed as register row AP-192 in this commit.
- S3: ChatWindowController reconciliation comment corrects the misread
indicator action ids 0x10000514-17 -> 0x10000114-17 and re-attributes the
id-coincidence to the pagination widget's m_prevButton/m_nextButton, not
gmFriendsUI; register + window-shell research doc corrected to match.
- N1: LayoutImporter's duplicate per-state any-state-first-wins 0x21 read is
deleted — ElementReader.ApplyCanonicalLegacyProjection's DirectState-then-
effective-default resolution is the single source (the duplicate would have
lit state-0x3-only outlines permanently once S2 widened consumption).
- N3: the outline pass tints with the outline color's OWN alpha, not the
fill's (retail tints m_curOutlineColor and m_curTextColor independently).
- N4: the outline-inflated glyph SOURCE rect is clamped to the atlas bounds
with matching dest shrink, porting CreateCharRectPair @0x00441480's edge
behavior — edge glyphs crop instead of sampling a neighbour's texels.

Campaign CH round 4, user-gate items 1+2. Root cause: retail ships a
second (background) glyph atlas per font, dilated 2px on every side,
plus two border-pixel scalars (Font.NumHorizontalBorderPixels/
NumVerticalBorderPixels) that acdream's font reader never read — so
even the pre-existing outline parameter drew almost nothing once
enabled. Landed together (either half alone is a no-op or a
regression):
- UiDatFont carries BorderX/BorderY from the DAT font resource.
- UiRenderContext.DrawStringDat inflates the background blit's source
and destination rect by that margin and restructures into retail's
exact two-pass whole-string outline-then-fill model
(UIElement_Text::DrawSelf), plus the 8-neighbour +-1px fallback for
fonts with no background atlas. Corrects the stale "property 0xd"
comment to the real ids, 0x21 (Outline) / 0x22 (OutlineColor).
- LayoutDesc property 0x21/0x22 import (ElementInfo.Outline/
OutlineColor, LayoutImporter.ReadState, ElementReader.Merge/
ApplyCanonicalLegacyProjection, DatWidgetFactory.BuildText) so every
authored-outline element across the DAT set is correct at once.
- SpewBox: RetailFontId corrected from a round-3 heuristic
(0x40000025) to the actually-authored 0x40000001 (18px bold serif),
Outline=true set on the controller's UiText. Fill colour stays the
user-gate-round-1-pinned yellow — font atlases are alpha-only
(PFID_A8), so there is no baked shading that could explain the
screenshot's gold as anything other than the outline itself.
- Chat transcript: default fill now seeds from its authored
ARGB(255,204,204,204) instead of an unrelated color-table slot
(ChatTranscriptRenderer.BuildLines takes the transcript's own
DefaultColor as a parameter); the 34-entry LogTextType table is
untouched, and every existing CH1 conformance test stays green
unmodified.
Regenerated the committed chat_2100006f.json fixture from the real
installed DAT, confirming end to end (not by missing-field default)
that the transcript carries no outline.
Tests: font-reader border fields + inflation math pinned against the
real DAT font, two-pass draw ordering/tint/inflation via a new
TextRenderer.DebugSpriteSegmentVerts test seam, property 0x21/0x22
import at both the ElementReader.Merge and StateDesc-property layers,
SpewBox font/outline, and the chat default-shade seed with the color
table proven untouched.

Applies docs/research/2026-08-10-ch6ab-review-findings.md in full:
- BLOCKER 1: UiResizeGrip now carries its ElementInfo/resolve pair and
draws its own authored DirectState media (a synthetic parameterless
grip still draws nothing, preserving existing resize-drag tests).
DatWidgetFactory.BuildResizeGrip threads resolve through. All seven
live grips on the main chat window now resolve a non-zero sprite,
restoring the visible borders/corners CH6a silently dropped.
- SHOULD-FIX 2: ChatWindowState gains BroadcastTargetWindow, a sentinel
distinct from every real window id (0-4), fixing the bug where the
main window's explicit-addressing branch coincided with the broadcast
check (both were literal 0). SetFilter's main-window no-op is dropped
— the main window's filter is now genuinely settable. ChatWindowController
.Bind takes a ChatWindowState (the same canonical instance the floating
windows already share) and GetTranscriptLines builds a real accept
predicate instead of accept:null. Verified safe: ClientLocal (0x1A)
never reaches ChatLog (AddText routes it to the SpewBox and returns),
so nothing observable regresses.
- SHOULD-FIX 3: UiButton.SuppressSelfToggle stops the four chat-window
indicator buttons (DAT property 0x0B=true, no retail click handler)
from flipping their own Selected mirror on a stray click.
- SHOULD-FIX 4: generated and committed chat_floaty_2100005b.json from
the real installed dats; added the permanent RetailLayoutFixtureGenerator
entry. All three flagged FloatingChatWindowController assumptions
(input field, title bar, close button) are confirmed correct against
real data — no controller code changes needed. New finding: unlike the
main window, ALL EIGHT floaty border/corner elements are live Type-9
grips (the floaty's own title bar is its move handle), so a floaty
window resizes from every edge and corner.
- SHOULD-FIX 5: register row AP-189 documents the shared-500-entry/
200-line-tail vs retail's per-window 10,000-line scrollback depth gap.
- NITs 1-5: documented the filter-persistence-only-on-/saveautoui
asymmetry and the reconnect-preserves-filters intent; corrected the
research doc's modifier-mask mislabel and the "ONLY function" false
superlative; moved WrapText off ChatWindowController onto
ChatTranscriptRenderer, closing the circular dependency.

direct DAT dump, found in dats.Local not dats.Portal). Every downstream
compensation that existed only to paper over the wrong import is deleted:
the hand-cropped 490px content width, the dropped 800px resize bar, the
9px transcript patch, the orphan-sibling pruning, the max/min-vs-scrollbar
overlap shift, and the scrollbar top-reclaim. The window now mounts with
RetailWindowChrome.Imported (0x2100006F's own 8 border/corner elements are
its complete chrome) instead of the universal nine-slice wrapper.
LayoutImporter/DatWidgetFactory gain a Type-9 (UIElement_Resizebar) case:
UiResizeGrip decodes retail's exact four-bool BorderLocation algorithm
(0x2A=bottom/0x2B=left/0x2C=right/0x2D=top,
UIElement_Resizebar::StartMouseResizing @0x0046B7E0) into a ResizeEdges
bitmask. A direct DAT dump established the true shape: only 7 of the 8
grip-position ids are Type 9 — the straight top-EDGE strip (0x1000069C) is
a Type-2 Dragbar (move handle), not a Resizebar, because the main window
has no title bar. UiRoot now gives a directly-hit grip's own edges
priority over its generic proximity heuristic, and a directly-hit move
handle the same priority over ambient proximity — so the plain top strip
moves the window while its two corner grips resize it including the Y
axis, and all 4 edges + 4 corners work everywhere else. This also fixes
the reported "no diagonal cursor at corners" (CursorFeedbackController's
existing RetailCursorCatalog cursor ids already matched the DAT exactly;
they just never received a genuine diagonal edge combination) and "cannot
grow in Y from the bottom-right corner" (the old NineSlice+crop mount's
indirection is gone; the Imported mount uses the DAT's real
minH=100/maxH=2000/minW=300/maxW=2000 directly).
The 8 cosmetic "_Locked" border-art twins default hidden (register row
AP-185 — retail's UiLocked-driven art swap between the two skins is not
ported; UiRoot.UiLocked continues to gate the underlying interaction
correctly either way). The 4 chat-window-1..4 indicator buttons import
generically (visible, inert) for CH6b to wire. The two hand-drawn
translucent-black tints on the transcript/input are removed now that
their parent panels draw their own authored background sprites.
Filed #366 (chat window's new-unseen-text indicator 0x1000048C is
swallowed by UiText.ConsumesDatChildren, pre-existing and out of scope).
Corrected the research doc's "all eight grips" claim against the direct
DAT dump. Full Release suite: 12,317 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

The combat bar and spell bar could not be moved at all: their window
mounts Draggable=false (correct - retail never whole-surface-drags
them) and the authored move mechanism was missing. Retail registers
element class 2 as UIElement_Dragbar (Register @ 0x0046C840); a press
inside it calls UIElement::StartMovement on its parent window
(StartMouseMoving @ 0x0046C760) and release calls StopMovement
(@ 0x0046C7C0). The combat/spell bar layout (LayoutDesc 0x21000073)
authors exactly one such element - a 600 x 5 strip along the top edge,
which is where the user expects the move cursor. The powerbar, vitals,
indicators, radar, and examination layouts author dragbars too, so
they all gain their retail handles from this one port.
Our importer knew Type 2 by name but built it as a generic
UiDatElement - ClickThrough decoration, so the strip never even
claimed the pointer. Now:
- UiElement.WindowMoveHandle marks an authored handle; the DAT factory
sets it for Type-2 elements and opts them out of ClickThrough.
- A left-press inside a handle subtree moves the handle's top-level
window (the outer frame directly under the root - the mounted
analogue of retail's dragbar parent) even when that window is not
whole-surface Draggable. Edge-resize still wins; UiLocked still
gates, matching the retail locked/fixed parent-flag check.
- HoverWindowMove reports the handle so the window-move cursor shows
over the strip - and only there - on non-Draggable windows.
Four new tests: handle press moves a non-Draggable window and stops on
release, hover shows the move cursor over the strip but not the body,
UiLocked suppresses both, and the factory builds Type 2 as a
pointer-claiming move handle. App Release suite 3,966 / 3 skips.

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).

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.

DatWidgetFactory.Create now accepts an optional fontResolve: Func<uint,UiDatFont?>
parameter. When supplied and the element has a non-zero FontDid, the element
receives its own dat font instead of the shared global datFont fallback.
Null = original single-font behavior (the live GameWindow path passes null —
provably unchanged). LayoutImporter.Build/BuildFromInfos/Import all thread
the optional resolver down to the factory.
RenderStack gains a lazy font cache (ConcurrentDictionary, pre-seeded with
VitalsDatFont + LargeDatFont) and a ResolveDatFont(uint) method. StudioWindow
wires stack.ResolveDatFont into LayoutSource so every studio import gets
per-element fonts. GameWindow import calls left passing null (follow-up todo).
CharacterStatController font-hack cleanup (diagnosed via one-shot console dump
then removed):
- Name (0x10000231): dat FontDid = 18px font — remove datFont override (null)
- Heritage/PkStatus: dat FontDid = 14px fonts — remove override
- LevelCaption: dat FontDid = 16px — remove override (same font, no visual change)
- Level (0x1000023B): dat FontDid = 36px (the big retail gold font) — was forced
to rowDatFont/LargeDatFont (18px); now drops to null so the dat 36px font drives
- TotalXpLabel/TotalXp: dat FontDid = 16px — remove override
- FooterTitle (0x1000024E): dat FontDid = 20px — remove datFont override
- KEEP: synthesized elements (XP meter overlays, 9 attribute rows, tab sprites)
still use datFont directly since they have no dat origin
All Label/LabelTwoLine/LabelLeft/LabelProvider helpers updated: null = keep
build-time dat font; non-null = controller explicit override (backward-compat).
8 new tests in DatWidgetFactoryFontResolveTests:
- null resolver → DatFont == global datFont
- FontDid=0 → resolver not called
- resolver returns null → fallback to global datFont
- resolver called with element's FontDid
- controller DatFont override wins after build
- LayoutImporter.Build threads fontResolve to factory
- meter element fires resolver for non-zero FontDid
- BuildFromInfos without fontResolve param = original behavior
Build + all 710 App tests green.

LayoutImporter.ReadState now reads Properties 0x1B (ColorBaseProperty, ARGB bytes) and stores the normalized Vector4 in ElementInfo.FontColor (nullable). ElementReader.Merge propagates it with the same non-null-derived-wins rule as FontDid and HJustify. DatWidgetFactory.BuildText seeds UiText.DefaultColor from FontColor when present.
Diagnosis for LayoutDesc 0x2100002E: ALL 12 header and footer text elements carry NO dat color. Every color is runtime set by CharacterStatController. Comments added at each callsite. No hardcoded colors deleted.
Tests added: 3 ElementReader FontColor Merge + 3 DatWidgetFactory DefaultColor. 702 passed, 0 failed. Screenshots: character window, vitals, toolbar all unchanged.

LayoutImporter.ReadState now reads Properties[0x14] (HorizontalJustification,
EnumBaseProperty: 0=Left, 1=Center, 3/5=Right) and Properties[0x15]
(VerticalJustification: 2=Top, 4=Bottom; else Center) into two new ElementInfo
fields HJustify/VJustify. Merge propagates them with the same non-default-wins
rule used for FontDid.
DatWidgetFactory.BuildText applies the resolved justify at build time:
HJustify=Center sets Centered=true, HJustify=Right sets RightAligned=true,
VJustify=Top/Bottom sets VerticalJustify. Controllers that FindElement and set
those properties afterward continue to override - backward-compat preserved.
UiText gains VerticalJustify (Top/Center/Bottom, default Center). The Centered
and RightAligned single-line paths call UiText.VOffset() for the Y coordinate,
so VJustify.Top renders text at y=Padding rather than the fixed (H-lh)/2 center.
CharacterStatController: footer title (0x1000024E, H=55 dat box) previously
used Height=18 + Anchors=None to prevent center-vertical overlap with line-1/2.
Diagnostic confirmed dat says HJustify=Center, VJustify=Center. The hack is
replaced with one minimal explicit override: VerticalJustify=Top on the
already-Centered element. Text now renders at top of the 55px box natively.
Centered=false and RightAligned=false hand-sets removed where dat supplies them.
Dat justify values (studio diagnostic, 2026-06-26):
0x1000024E footer title: HJustify=Center, VJustify=Center
0x10000235/0x10000243/0x10000245 value fields: HJustify=Right

The factory mapped ZOrder from ReadOrder only, so the gmInventoryUI
full-window backdrop (0x100001D0, ReadOrder 4) painted over the nested
panels (ReadOrder 1-3). Wire ElementDesc.ZLevel through ElementInfo /
ToInfo / Merge and fold it into ZOrder = ReadOrder - ZLevel*10000 (higher
ZLevel = further back, ReadOrder the within-layer tiebreaker). Vitals
(all ZLevel 0) are unchanged; chat (ZLevel 900) + toolbar (1,2) shift to
their dat layering — verify visually.

Port of gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged (acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635).
When the player selects a world object the action bar's bottom strip shows the
object name + (for player/pet/attackable targets) a live Health meter; deselect
clears it. Mana (#140) + stack slider deferred.
- SelectedObjectController (new): clear-then-populate on selection change; sets
name (UiText child, VitalsController pattern), overlay state (ObjectSelected /
StackedItemSelected via UiDatElement.ActiveState), shows the health meter and
sends QueryHealth for health targets. Subscribes via a delegate seam (no
GameWindow coupling).
- GameWindow: _selectedGuid field -> SelectedGuid property + SelectionChanged
event (fires on actual change only); 3 write sites converted, reads untouched.
All selection-write paths (LMB pick, Tab/Q, despawn-clear via Tick()) run on
the render thread, so the event-driven UI mutation is single-threaded.
- WorldSession.SendQueryHealth (0x01BF) — wraps SocialActions.BuildQueryHealth.
- DatWidgetFactory.BuildMeter: handle the single-image toolbar meter shape
(back-track on the element's own DirectState, fill on one Type-3 child). The
sprites go in the TILE slot (DrawMode=Normal tiles to full bar geometry per
UIElement_Meter::DrawChildren) — a left-cap assignment would gap/clamp a
sub-140px sprite. Vitals 3-slice path unchanged.
- ToolbarController.HiddenIds: A1 (health) now owned by SelectedObjectController;
A2 (mana) + A4 (stack) stay hidden (deferred) so their dat back-tracks don't
render as stray empty bars.
Adversarial Opus review found + fixed: the mana-meter orphan (A2 left unhidden)
and the meter tile-vs-cap render bug (C1). Divergence rows AP-46 (health gate
approximation: IsLiveCreatureTarget vs IsPlayer||pet||attackable) + AP-47
(meter shown on select vs on UpdateHealth reply). Spec §5 corrected.
Build + full test suite green (2,684 passed / 4 skipped). Health meter render
fidelity (full-width fill + fraction mapping) pending the user's visual gate.

Ports retail UIElement_ItemList (class 0x10000031) as a behavioral-leaf
container that owns its UiItemSlot children procedurally. Single-cell
default covers every toolbar slot; N-cell grid is deferred to the inventory
phase. OnDraw syncs the cell rect to the list's Width/Height each frame so
the cell is sized and hit-testable from the first rendered frame, even
though the factory sets rect AFTER construction.
Factory: adds `0x10000031u => new UiItemList(resolve)` arm before the
fallback, so all 18 toolbar itemlist slots route to UiItemList instead of
UiDatElement.
Tests: 4 new (IsLeafWidget, StartsWithOneCell, Cell_returnsFirstSlot,
Create_buildsUiItemList_forItemListClassId). All 4 pass; full suite green
(415 pass / 2 skip in App.Tests; 0 fail total).

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).
- Full suite: 404 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

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.
