# D.2b inventory container-switching — Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Click a side bag in the inventory pack-selector → the grid shows that bag's contents (opened via a `Use 0x0036` → `ViewContents 0x0196` full-replace round-trip), the open bag shows the retail triangle, the selected cell shows the retail green/yellow square; click the main-pack cell → back.
**Architecture:** Add an authoritative full-replace path to the Core object table (`ReplaceContents`), reroute the `ViewContents` wiring through it, add a thin `WorldSession.SendUse` wire wrapper, give `UiItemSlot` two procedural indicator overlays (modeled on the existing DragAccept overlay), and give `InventoryController` `_openContainer`/`_selectedItem` state with per-cell click roles (grid→select, container→open+select). `GameWindow` injects the two send callbacks.
**Tech Stack:** C# .NET 10, xUnit. Layers: `AcDream.Core` (object table), `AcDream.Core.Net` (wire + wiring), `AcDream.App` (UI widgets + controller + window).
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-d2b-container-switching-design.md`. Decomp anchors: `UpdateOpenContainerIndicator 0x004e3070`/`SetOpenContainerState 0x004e1200` (triangle `0x06005D9C`); `ItemList_SetSelectedItem 0x004e2fe0`/`SetSelectedState 0x004e1240` (square `0x06004D21`). Wire: ACE `GameEventViewContents.cs` (entries `OrderBy(PlacementPosition)`, no slot field → `ContainerSlot = index`).
**Build/test commands** (run from repo root `C:\Users\erikn\source\repos\acdream\.claude\worktrees\hopeful-maxwell-214a12`):
- One project's tests: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/AcDream.Core.Tests.csproj`
- Full suite at the phase boundary: `dotnet test`

## Task 1: `ClientObjectTable.ReplaceContents` (full-replace membership)
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/AcDream.Core/Items/ClientObjectTable.cs` (add a method after `GetContents`, ~line 316)
- Test: `tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Items/ClientObjectTableTests.cs` (add after `GetContents_UnknownContainer_Empty`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
Add to `ClientObjectTableTests.cs`:
```csharp
[Fact]
public void ReplaceContents_RecordsAllInListOrder()
{
var table = new ClientObjectTable();
table.ReplaceContents(0xC9u, new uint[] { 0xA01u, 0xA02u, 0xA03u });
Assert.Equal(new[] { 0xA01u, 0xA02u, 0xA03u }, table.GetContents(0xC9u));
Assert.Equal(0xC9u, table.Get(0xA01u)!.ContainerId);
}
[Fact]
public void ReplaceContents_SecondSmallerList_DetachesDropped() // the full-REPLACE semantics (vs the old additive merge)
{
var table = new ClientObjectTable();
table.ReplaceContents(0xC9u, new uint[] { 0xA01u, 0xA02u, 0xA03u });
table.ReplaceContents(0xC9u, new uint[] { 0xA02u }); // A01 + A03 removed server-side
Assert.Equal(new[] { 0xA02u }, table.GetContents(0xC9u));
Assert.Equal(0u, table.Get(0xA01u)!.ContainerId); // detached, not lingering
Assert.Equal(0u, table.Get(0xA03u)!.ContainerId);
Assert.Equal(0xC9u, table.Get(0xA02u)!.ContainerId);
}
[Fact]
public void ReplaceContents_ReordersToNewListOrder()
{
var table = new ClientObjectTable();
table.ReplaceContents(0xC9u, new uint[] { 0xA01u, 0xA02u });
table.ReplaceContents(0xC9u, new uint[] { 0xA02u, 0xA01u });
Assert.Equal(new[] { 0xA02u, 0xA01u }, table.GetContents(0xC9u));
}
[Fact]
public void ReplaceContents_ZeroContainer_NoOp()
{
var table = new ClientObjectTable();
table.ReplaceContents(0u, new uint[] { 0xA01u });
Assert.Empty(table.GetContents(0u));
Assert.Null(table.Get(0xA01u));
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/AcDream.Core.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ReplaceContents"`
Expected: FAIL — `'ClientObjectTable' does not contain a definition for 'ReplaceContents'` (compile error).
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `ReplaceContents`**
In `ClientObjectTable.cs`, immediately after the `GetContents` method (~line 316), add:
```csharp
///
/// Replace a container's entire membership with (in order) — the
/// authoritative full snapshot the server sends in ViewContents (0x0196) when you open a
/// container. Members no longer present are detached (ContainerId → 0); new members are
/// recorded with ContainerSlot = list index. ACE writes ViewContents entries
/// OrderBy(PlacementPosition) with NO explicit slot field (GameEventViewContents.cs), so the
/// list order IS the slot order. Fires ObjectAdded/ObjectMoved so bound UI repaints.
/// Retail consumer: ClientUISystem::OnViewContents.
///
public void ReplaceContents(uint containerId, IReadOnlyList guids)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(guids);
if (containerId == 0) return;
var keep = new HashSet(guids);
// Detach prior members no longer present (they left the container server-side). GetContents
// returns a snapshot, so mutating the index inside the loop is safe.
foreach (var old in GetContents(containerId))
{
if (keep.Contains(old)) continue;
if (!_objects.TryGetValue(old, out var o) || o.ContainerId != containerId) continue;
o.ContainerId = 0;
Reindex(o, containerId);
ObjectMoved?.Invoke(o, containerId, 0);
}
// Record new members in order; ContainerSlot = index reconstructs the server PlacementPosition.
for (int i = 0; i < guids.Count; i++)
{
uint g = guids[i];
bool existed = _objects.TryGetValue(g, out var obj);
if (!existed || obj is null)
{
obj = new ClientObject { ObjectId = g };
_objects[g] = obj;
}
uint oldContainer = obj.ContainerId;
obj.ContainerId = containerId;
obj.ContainerSlot = i;
Reindex(obj, oldContainer);
if (!existed) ObjectAdded?.Invoke(obj);
else ObjectMoved?.Invoke(obj, oldContainer, containerId);
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the tests to verify they pass**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/AcDream.Core.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ReplaceContents"`
Expected: PASS (4 tests).
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/AcDream.Core/Items/ClientObjectTable.cs tests/AcDream.Core.Tests/Items/ClientObjectTableTests.cs
git commit -m "feat(D.2b): ClientObjectTable.ReplaceContents — authoritative full-replace for ViewContents
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) "
```
---
## Task 2: route `ViewContents` wiring through `ReplaceContents`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/AcDream.Core.Net/GameEventWiring.cs:253-266` (the ViewContents handler)
- Test: `tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests/GameEventWiringTests.cs` (add after `WireAll_ViewContents_RecordsMembershipInClientObjectTable`)
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Add to `GameEventWiringTests.cs` (the existing `WireAll_ViewContents_RecordsMembershipInClientObjectTable` stays — it still passes under replace):
```csharp
[Fact]
public void WireAll_ViewContents_IsFullReplace_DropsRemovedItems()
{
var (d, items, _, _, _) = MakeAll();
// First view of container 0xC9: two items.
DispatchViewContents(d, 0x500000C9u, new uint[] { 0x50000A01u, 0x50000A02u });
Assert.Equal(2, items.GetContents(0x500000C9u).Count);
// Second view: only one item — the other was removed server-side. Additive merge would keep both.
DispatchViewContents(d, 0x500000C9u, new uint[] { 0x50000A02u });
Assert.Equal(new[] { 0x50000A02u }, items.GetContents(0x500000C9u));
Assert.Equal(0u, items.Get(0x50000A01u)!.ContainerId);
}
private static void DispatchViewContents(GameEventDispatcher d, uint containerGuid, uint[] itemGuids)
{
byte[] payload = new byte[8 + itemGuids.Length * 8];
BinaryPrimitives.WriteUInt32LittleEndian(payload.AsSpan(0), containerGuid);
BinaryPrimitives.WriteUInt32LittleEndian(payload.AsSpan(4), (uint)itemGuids.Length);
for (int i = 0; i < itemGuids.Length; i++)
{
BinaryPrimitives.WriteUInt32LittleEndian(payload.AsSpan(8 + i * 8), itemGuids[i]);
BinaryPrimitives.WriteUInt32LittleEndian(payload.AsSpan(12 + i * 8), 0u); // containerType
}
var env = GameEventEnvelope.TryParse(WrapEnvelope(GameEventType.ViewContents, payload));
d.Dispatch(env!.Value);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ViewContents"`
Expected: FAIL — `WireAll_ViewContents_IsFullReplace_DropsRemovedItems` asserts `GetContents` has 1 entry, but the current additive `RecordMembership` loop leaves both (count 2) and `0x50000A01` keeps `ContainerId == 0xC9`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Replace the handler body**
In `GameEventWiring.cs`, replace the block at `:253-266` (the comment + handler) with:
```csharp
// ViewContents (0x0196) — the server's AUTHORITATIVE full contents list for a container you
// opened (Use 0x0036). Treat it as a full REPLACE: flush the container's prior membership and
// record the new entries in order (ContainerSlot = index — ACE writes entries
// OrderBy(PlacementPosition) with no slot field). The container-open UI (InventoryController)
// repaints the grid off the resulting ObjectAdded/Moved events. Retail: ClientUISystem::OnViewContents.
dispatcher.Register(GameEventType.ViewContents, e =>
{
var p = GameEvents.ParseViewContents(e.Payload.Span);
if (p is null) return;
var guids = new uint[p.Value.Items.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < guids.Length; i++) guids[i] = p.Value.Items[i].Guid;
items.ReplaceContents(p.Value.ContainerGuid, guids);
});
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test to verify it passes**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ViewContents"`
Expected: PASS (both the existing membership test and the new full-replace test).
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/AcDream.Core.Net/GameEventWiring.cs tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests/GameEventWiringTests.cs

```
---
## Task 3: `WorldSession.SendUse` (thin wire wrapper)
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/AcDream.Core.Net/WorldSession.cs` (add after `SendNoLongerViewingContents`, ~line 1216)
**Test note:** no new unit test. The wire contract (`Use 0x0036` + target guid) is already locked by `tests/AcDream.Core.Net.Tests/Messages/InteractRequestsTests.cs::BuildUse_WritesOpcode0x0036AndTarget`. `SendUse` is a trivial pass-through that mirrors the adjacent, test-free wrappers (`SendNoLongerViewingContents`, `SendDropItem`, `SendAddShortcut`) — there is no send-capture seam on `WorldSession` to assert against, and the round-trip is confirmed at the WireMCP visual gate (Task 8).
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the wrapper**
In `WorldSession.cs`, directly after `SendNoLongerViewingContents` (~line 1216), add:
```csharp
/// Send Use (0x0036) — open/use an object by guid (e.g. open a container in your
/// inventory). A direct wire send: opening a pack you already hold needs no autowalk, unlike
/// GameWindow.SendUse (the world-interaction path). Retail: CM_Physics::Event_Use.
public void SendUse(uint targetGuid)
{
uint seq = NextGameActionSequence();
SendGameAction(InteractRequests.BuildUse(seq, targetGuid));
}
```
(`InteractRequests` is in `AcDream.Core.Net.Messages`; confirm the `using AcDream.Core.Net.Messages;` is present at the top of `WorldSession.cs` — it is, used by the other Send wrappers.)
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify it compiles**
Run: `dotnet build src/AcDream.Core.Net/AcDream.Core.Net.csproj`
Expected: Build succeeded.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add src/AcDream.Core.Net/WorldSession.cs
git commit -m "feat(D.2b): WorldSession.SendUse — thin Use 0x0036 wire wrapper for container-open

```

## Task 4: `UiItemSlot` indicator overlays (triangle + square)
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/AcDream.App/UI/UiItemSlot.cs` (add properties near `DragAcceptSprite` ~line 36; add draw in `OnDraw` ~line 226)
- Test: `tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/UiItemSlotTests.cs` (add after the DefaultEmptySprite test)
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
Add to `UiItemSlotTests.cs`:
```csharp
// ── Container-switching indicator overlays (decomp SetOpenContainerState 0x004e1200 /
// SetSelectedState 0x004e1240) ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Fact]
public void Selected_defaultsFalse() => Assert.False(new UiItemSlot().Selected);
[Fact]
public void IsOpenContainer_defaultsFalse() => Assert.False(new UiItemSlot().IsOpenContainer);
[Fact]
public void SelectedSprite_default_isGreenYellowSquare()
=> Assert.Equal(0x06004D21u, new UiItemSlot().SelectedSprite);
[Fact]
public void OpenContainerSprite_default_isTriangle()
=> Assert.Equal(0x06005D9Cu, new UiItemSlot().OpenContainerSprite);
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests/AcDream.App.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~UiItemSlotTests"`
Expected: FAIL — `'UiItemSlot' does not contain a definition for 'Selected'` (compile error).
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the properties**
In `UiItemSlot.cs`, after the `DragRejectSprite` property (~line 39), add:
```csharp
/// True when this cell is the OPEN container (its contents fill the grid). Draws the
/// open-container triangle. Port of UIElement_ItemList::UpdateOpenContainerIndicator
/// (0x004e3070) → SetOpenContainerState (0x004e1200): shown when item.itemID == openContainerId.
public bool IsOpenContainer { get; set; }
/// Open-container triangle sprite (element 0x10000450 on the container prototype
/// 0x1000033F). Configurable; guard id != 0 before resolving.
public uint OpenContainerSprite { get; set; } = 0x06005D9Cu;
/// True when this cell is the SELECTED item. Draws the green/yellow selection square.
/// Port of UIElement_ItemList::ItemList_SetSelectedItem (0x004e2fe0) → SetSelectedState
/// (0x004e1240): shown when item.itemID == selectedItemId. Uniform across item + container cells.
public bool Selected { get; set; }
/// Selected-item square sprite (element 0x10000342 on the 32×32 item prototype
/// 0x10000341; pixel-confirmed green/yellow frame). Drawn as a procedural overlay so it renders
/// on the 36×36 container cell too (whose prototype lacks the square child).
public uint SelectedSprite { get; set; } = 0x06004D21u;
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Add the draw calls**
In `UiItemSlot.cs` `OnDraw`, immediately BEFORE the drag-rollover block (the `if (_dragAccept != DragAcceptState.None …`, ~line 226), add:
```csharp
// Open-container triangle (retail SetOpenContainerState 0x004e1200) + selected-item square
// (retail SetSelectedState 0x004e1240). Drawn procedurally like the digit/drag overlays;
// guard id != 0 BEFORE resolving (feedback_ui_resolve_zero_magenta). Triangle under the
// square; both under the transient drag overlay below.
if (IsOpenContainer && SpriteResolve is not null && OpenContainerSprite != 0)
{
var (tex, _, _) = SpriteResolve(OpenContainerSprite);
if (tex != 0)
ctx.DrawSprite(tex, 0f, 0f, Width, Height, 0f, 0f, 1f, 1f, Vector4.One);
}
if (Selected && SpriteResolve is not null && SelectedSprite != 0)
{
var (tex, _, _) = SpriteResolve(SelectedSprite);
if (tex != 0)
ctx.DrawSprite(tex, 0f, 0f, Width, Height, 0f, 0f, 1f, 1f, Vector4.One);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the tests to verify they pass**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests/AcDream.App.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~UiItemSlotTests"`
Expected: PASS.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add src/AcDream.App/UI/UiItemSlot.cs tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/UiItemSlotTests.cs
git commit -m "feat(D.2b): UiItemSlot open-container triangle + selected-item square overlays
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) "
```

## Task 5: `InventoryController` container-switching + indicators
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/InventoryController.cs` (state, `Bind` signature, `Populate`, click handlers, `ApplyIndicators`, `Concerns`, caption)
- Test: `tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/InventoryControllerTests.cs`
- [ ] **Step 1: Extend the test `Bind` helper + write the failing tests**
In `InventoryControllerTests.cs`, replace the private `Bind` helper (lines 53-57) with:
```csharp
private static InventoryController Bind(ImportedLayout layout, ClientObjectTable objects,
int? strength = 100, List? uses = null, List? closes = null)
=> InventoryController.Bind(layout, objects, () => Player,
iconIds: (_, _, _, _, _) => 0u, // no real GL upload in tests
strength: () => strength, datFont: null,
sendUse: uses is null ? null : g => uses.Add(g),
sendNoLongerViewing: closes is null ? null : g => closes.Add(g));
// Seed a side bag (a container) in the player's pack, plus optionally its own contents.
private static void SeedBag(ClientObjectTable t, uint bag, int slot, int itemsCapacity = 24)
{
t.AddOrUpdate(new ClientObject { ObjectId = bag, Type = ItemType.Container, ItemsCapacity = itemsCapacity });
t.MoveItem(bag, Player, slot);
}
```
Then add these tests at the end of the class (before the closing brace):
```csharp
[Fact]
public void ClickSideBag_sendsUse_andSwapsGridToBagContents()
{
var (layout, grid, containers, _, _, _, _, _) = BuildLayout();
var objects = new ClientObjectTable();
SeedContained(objects, 0xA, Player, slot: 0); // a loose main-pack item
SeedBag(objects, 0xC, slot: 1); // side bag (player slot 1)
SeedContained(objects, 0xB1, 0xC, slot: 0); // a thing already known to be in the bag
var uses = new List();
Bind(layout, objects, uses: uses);
// The side-bag column's first cell holds the bag guid; click it.
containers.GetItem(0)!.Clicked!();
Assert.Contains(0xCu, uses); // Use(bag) sent
Assert.Equal(0xB1u, grid.GetItem(0)!.ItemId); // grid swapped to the bag's contents
Assert.Equal(24, grid.GetNumUIItems()); // padded to the bag's ItemsCapacity
}
[Fact]
public void ClickMainPackCell_afterBag_closesBag_returnsToMainPack()
{
var (layout, grid, containers, top, _, _, _, _) = BuildLayout();
var objects = new ClientObjectTable();
SeedContained(objects, 0xA, Player, slot: 0); // loose main-pack item
SeedBag(objects, 0xC, slot: 1);
SeedContained(objects, 0xB1, 0xC, slot: 0);
var uses = new List();
var closes = new List();
var ctrl = Bind(layout, objects, uses: uses, closes: closes);
containers.GetItem(0)!.Clicked!(); // open the bag
top.GetItem(0)!.Clicked!(); // click the main-pack cell
Assert.Contains(0xCu, closes); // NoLongerViewingContents(bag) sent
Assert.DoesNotContain(Player, uses); // no Use for the main pack
Assert.Equal(0xAu, grid.GetItem(0)!.ItemId); // grid back to the main pack
Assert.Equal(102, grid.GetNumUIItems());
}
[Fact]
public void SwitchBetweenTwoBags_closesPrevious_opensNext()
{
var (layout, _, containers, _, _, _, _, _) = BuildLayout();
var objects = new ClientObjectTable();
SeedBag(objects, 0xC1, slot: 0);
SeedBag(objects, 0xC2, slot: 1);
var uses = new List();
var closes = new List();
Bind(layout, objects, uses: uses, closes: closes);
containers.GetItem(0)!.Clicked!(); // open bag A (column index 0 → 0xC1)
containers.GetItem(1)!.Clicked!(); // open bag B (column index 1 → 0xC2)
Assert.Equal(new[] { 0xC1u, 0xC2u }, uses.ToArray()); // Use(A) then Use(B)
Assert.Equal(new[] { 0xC1u }, closes.ToArray()); // close A when switching to B (not the main pack)
}
[Fact]
public void OpenBag_marksTriangleAndSquare_onTheBagCell()
{
var (layout, _, containers, _, _, _, _, _) = BuildLayout();
var objects = new ClientObjectTable();
SeedBag(objects, 0xC, slot: 0);
Bind(layout, objects, uses: new List());
containers.GetItem(0)!.Clicked!();
Assert.True(containers.GetItem(0)!.IsOpenContainer); // triangle on the open bag
Assert.True(containers.GetItem(0)!.Selected); // square — the bag is also the selected item
}
[Fact]
public void ClickGridItem_movesSquareOnly_noWire_keepsOpenContainer()

Bind(layout, objects, uses: uses, closes: closes);
grid.GetItem(0)!.Clicked!(); // select the loose item
Assert.True(grid.GetItem(0)!.Selected); // square on the selected grid item
Assert.True(top.GetItem(0)!.IsOpenContainer); // main pack still the open container (unchanged)
Assert.Empty(uses); // selection sends no wire
Assert.Empty(closes);
}
[Fact]
public void Default_mainPackCell_isOpenContainer()
{
var (layout, _, _, top, _, _, _, _) = BuildLayout();
var objects = new ClientObjectTable();
Bind(layout, objects);
Assert.True(top.GetItem(0)!.IsOpenContainer); // default open container = main pack
}
```
Note: `BuildLayout()` returns `top` as the 4th tuple element (the `_topContainer` UiItemList); the existing tests discard it with `_`. The new tests above bind it where needed.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests/AcDream.App.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~InventoryControllerTests"`
Expected: FAIL — `InventoryController.Bind` has no `sendUse`/`sendNoLongerViewing` parameters (compile error).
- [ ] **Step 3: Add controller state + new ctor/Bind parameters**
In `InventoryController.cs`:
(a) Add constant near `MainPackSlots` (~line 39):
```csharp
private const int SidePackSlots = 24; // standard side-pack capacity (reference_retail_inventory_paperdoll)
```
(b) Add fields near `_burdenPercent` (~line 52):
```csharp
private uint _openContainer; // 0 = the main pack (the player); else the open side bag's guid
private uint _selectedItem; // 0 = none; the panel-wide selected item (green square)
private readonly Action? _sendUse;
private readonly Action? _sendNoLongerViewing;
```
(c) Add ctor parameters (append to the existing private ctor parameter list, after `mainPackEmptySprite`):
```csharp
uint mainPackEmptySprite,
Action? sendUse,
Action? sendNoLongerViewing)
```
and assign them at the top of the ctor body (after `_strength = strength;`):
```csharp
_sendUse = sendUse;
_sendNoLongerViewing = sendNoLongerViewing;
```
(d) Add the same two parameters to the public `Bind` (after `mainPackEmptySprite = 0u`), and pass them through:
```csharp
uint mainPackEmptySprite = 0u,
Action? sendUse = null,
Action? sendNoLongerViewing = null)
=> new InventoryController(layout, objects, playerGuid, iconIds, strength, datFont,
contentsEmptySprite, sideBagEmptySprite, mainPackEmptySprite,
sendUse, sendNoLongerViewing);
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Replace `Populate` + add the new private methods**
Replace the entire `Populate` method body with:
```csharp
public void Populate()
{
uint p = _playerGuid();
uint open = EffectiveOpen();
_contentsGrid?.Flush();
_containerList?.Flush();
// Side-bag column: ALWAYS the player's bags (constant across container switches; only the
// open/selected indicators move). Equipped items never appear here.
foreach (var guid in _objects.GetContents(p))
{
var item = _objects.Get(guid);
if (item is null || item.CurrentlyEquippedLocation != EquipMask.None) continue;
bool isBag = item.Type.HasFlag(ItemType.Container) || item.ItemsCapacity > 0;
if (isBag) AddCell(_containerList, guid, isContainer: true);
}
// Contents grid: the OPEN container's loose items. (Bags live in the column; a side bag has
// no sub-bags, so the isBag skip is a no-op when a bag is open.)
foreach (var guid in _objects.GetContents(open))
{
var item = _objects.Get(guid);
if (item is null || item.CurrentlyEquippedLocation != EquipMask.None) continue;
bool isBag = item.Type.HasFlag(ItemType.Container) || item.ItemsCapacity > 0;
if (!isBag) AddCell(_contentsGrid, guid, isContainer: false);
}
// Pad the grid to the OPEN container's capacity (main pack 102 / side bag 24).
if (_contentsGrid is not null)
{
int cap = _objects.Get(open)?.ItemsCapacity ?? 0;
int slots = cap > 0 ? cap : (open == p ? MainPackSlots : SidePackSlots);
while (_contentsGrid.GetNumUIItems() < slots) AddEmptyCell(_contentsGrid);
}
// Pad the side-bag column to capacity, clamped to the 7-slot column (AP-52).
if (_containerList is not null)
{
int capacity = _objects.Get(p)?.ContainersCapacity ?? 0;
int bags = _containerList.GetNumUIItems();
int slots = capacity > 0 ? capacity : SideBagSlots;
slots = Math.Max(slots, bags);
slots = Math.Min(slots, SideBagSlots);
while (_containerList.GetNumUIItems() < slots) AddEmptyCell(_containerList);
}
// Main-pack cell: the player's own container — clicking it opens/selects the main pack.
if (_topContainer is not null)
{
_topContainer.Flush();
var main = new UiItemSlot { SpriteResolve = _topContainer.SpriteResolve };
main.SetItem(p, 0u);
main.Clicked = () => OpenContainer(p);
_topContainer.AddItem(main);
}
ApplyIndicators();
RefreshBurden();
}

- [ ] **Step 5: Extend `Concerns` + the caption**
(a) In `Concerns`, add the open-container clause. Replace the return with:
```csharp
uint p = _playerGuid();
return o.ObjectId == p // the player object IS the burden source
|| o.ContainerId == p || o.WielderId == p
|| o.ContainerId == EffectiveOpen() // the OPEN container's contents drive the grid
|| (o.ContainerId != 0 && _objects.Get(o.ContainerId)?.ContainerId == p); // 2-deep
```
(b) In the ctor, change the contents-caption attach (currently `() => "Contents of Backpack"`) to follow the open container:
```csharp
AttachCaption(layout.FindElement(ContentsCaptionId), () => "Contents of " + OpenContainerName(), datFont);
```
and add the helper near `EffectiveOpen`:
```csharp
/// The open container's display name for the contents caption.
private string OpenContainerName()
{
uint open = EffectiveOpen();
return open == _playerGuid() ? "Backpack" : (_objects.Get(open)?.Name ?? "Backpack");
}
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Run the tests to verify they pass**
Run: `dotnet test tests/AcDream.App.Tests/AcDream.App.Tests.csproj --filter "FullyQualifiedName~InventoryControllerTests"`
Expected: PASS (the 6 new tests + all existing InventoryController tests).
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/InventoryController.cs tests/AcDream.App.Tests/UI/Layout/InventoryControllerTests.cs
git commit -m "feat(D.2b): InventoryController container-switching + open/selected indicators

```

## Task 6: wire the send callbacks in `GameWindow`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs:2231-2241` (the `InventoryController.Bind` call)
**Test note:** `GameWindow` is integration-wired, not unit-tested; verified by build + the visual gate (Task 8).
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the two callbacks to the Bind call**
In `GameWindow.cs`, in the `InventoryController.Bind(...)` call (~line 2231), append two arguments after `mainPackEmptySprite: mainPackEmpty`:
```csharp
contentsEmptySprite: contentsEmpty,
sideBagEmptySprite: sideBagEmpty,
mainPackEmptySprite: mainPackEmpty,
sendUse: g => _liveSession?.SendUse(g),
sendNoLongerViewing: g => _liveSession?.SendNoLongerViewingContents(g));
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify it compiles**
Run: `dotnet build src/AcDream.App/AcDream.App.csproj`
Expected: Build succeeded.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add src/AcDream.App/Rendering/GameWindow.cs
git commit -m "feat(D.2b): wire InventoryController container-open callbacks to the live session

```

## Task 7: divergence register + docs
**Files:**
- Modify: `docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md` (retire AP-56; reword AP-53; add new rows)
- [ ] **Step 1: Retire AP-56**
Delete the AP-56 row (line ~158) — both indicators are now drawn.
- [ ] **Step 2: Reword AP-53**
Change AP-53's text from "the grid always shows the main pack (container-switch to a side pack's 24 not wired)" / "selecting a side pack doesn't show its 24-slot contents yet" to note that container-switching is now wired and the row covers only the capacity *default* (102/24 when `ItemsCapacity`/`ContainersCapacity` is absent).
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the new rows** (use the next free AP-numbers after the current max; e.g. AP-57/AP-58):
- A row: the open-container triangle (`0x06005D9C`) + selected-item square (`0x06004D21`) are drawn as **procedural `UiItemSlot` overlays** keyed by controller state (`_openContainer`/`_selectedItem`), reproducing the retail keying (`item.itemID == openContainerId / selectedItemId` per `UpdateOpenContainerIndicator 0x004e3070` / `ItemList_SetSelectedItem 0x004e2fe0`) but not via the dat prototype's `m_elem_Icon_OpenContainer`/`m_elem_Icon_Selected` state elements + `SetOpenContainerState`/`SetSelectedState` calls. File: `src/AcDream.App/UI/UiItemSlot.cs`, `src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/InventoryController.cs`. Risk: a cell that should show an indicator via a dat-state path retail uses but we don't would be missed; outcome currently matches retail (the 36×36 container prototype lacks the square child, so the procedural overlay is the only way to show the square on a selected bag).
- A row: inventory item **selection is panel-local + visual-only** — not wired to the selected-object bar (`SelectedObjectController`) or to global 3D-world selection. File: `src/AcDream.App/UI/Layout/InventoryController.cs`. Risk: selecting an inventory item doesn't populate the selected-object strip as retail does; deferred to the selection follow-up.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add docs/architecture/retail-divergence-register.md
git commit -m "docs(D.2b): divergence register — retire AP-56, reword AP-53, add overlay/selection rows
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) "
```

## Task 8: full-suite gate + visual verification
**Files:** none (verification only).
- [ ] **Step 1: Full build + full test suite**
Run: `dotnet build` then `dotnet test`
Expected: Build succeeded; ALL tests pass (run the FULL suite, not a filtered subset — the B-Wire process lesson: a filtered batch hid a cross-file regression).
- [ ] **Step 2: Launch the client (plain `dotnet run`, DO NOT pre-kill any running client)**
If a rebuild is locked by a running client, ASK the user to close it — do not Stop-Process. Launch (PowerShell, background, per CLAUDE.md):
```powershell
$env:ACDREAM_DAT_DIR="$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\Asheron's Call"; $env:ACDREAM_LIVE="1"; $env:ACDREAM_TEST_HOST="127.0.0.1"; $env:ACDREAM_TEST_PORT="9000"; $env:ACDREAM_TEST_USER="testaccount"; $env:ACDREAM_TEST_PASS="testpassword"; $env:ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI="1"
dotnet run --project src\AcDream.App\AcDream.App.csproj --no-build -c Debug 2>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath "launch.log"
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Capture the Use → ViewContents round-trip** (settles lazy-load-on-open)
While the client is in-world with F12 open, capture loopback with WireMCP (`capture_packets` on the `127.0.0.1:9000` conversation) and/or grep `launch.log` for the ViewContents handler, while the user clicks a side bag. Confirm a `Use 0x0036` goes out and a `ViewContents 0x0196` comes back, and note whether the bag's contents arrived only on open.
- [ ] **Step 4: Visual gate (the oracle — user confirms)**
The user, with F12 open: clicks a side bag → grid swaps to its contents; the open bag shows the triangle; the clicked cell shows the green/yellow square; clicks another bag → grid + indicators follow + the previous bag is closed; clicks the main-pack cell → grid returns to the main pack. Iterate on any sprite/positioning mismatch (the visual gate is the oracle for WHICH sprite, per the empty-slot-art lesson).
- [ ] **Step 5: Update SSOT + roadmap after the gate passes**
Append a "container-switching SHIPPED" entry to `claude-memory/project_d2b_retail_ui.md` (key facts + any DO-NOT-RETRY from the gate), update the roadmap/milestones if a milestone marker moved, and record the lazy-load finding. Commit.

## Self-review
**Spec coverage:** ReplaceContents (T1) ↔ spec §Components.1; ViewContents full-replace (T2) ↔ §Components.2; SendUse (T3) ↔ §Components.3; UiItemSlot overlays (T4) ↔ §Components.4; InventoryController state/Populate/clicks/indicators/Concerns/caption (T5) ↔ §Components.5; GameWindow wiring (T6) ↔ §Components.6; divergence rows (T7) ↔ §Divergence register; full suite + visual gate + lazy-load capture (T8) ↔ §Acceptance + §Open verification. All spec sections covered.
**Placeholder scan:** every code step shows complete code; no TBD/TODO; the only "as appropriate" is T7's next-free-AP-number, which is mechanical (read the current max in the register).
**Type consistency:** `ReplaceContents(uint, IReadOnlyList)` consistent T1↔T2. `SendUse(uint)` T3↔T6. `IsOpenContainer`/`OpenContainerSprite`/`Selected`/`SelectedSprite` consistent T4↔T5. `Bind(..., Action? sendUse, Action? sendNoLongerViewing)` consistent T5↔T6 (test helper)↔T6 (GameWindow). `EffectiveOpen()`/`OpenContainer()`/`SelectItem()`/`ApplyIndicators()`/`SetIndicators()`/`AddCell()`/`AddEmptyCell()`/`OpenContainerName()` all defined in T5. `SidePackSlots` const defined T5 step 3a.
