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