Twelve user-provided forward items sorted into three buckets: three land on already-staged work (equipped-child picking and vendor slices are the world-interaction program's own next steps; the Settings tab is the filed V11 dev-panels follow-up), three are verification campaigns whose research already exists (property-enum divergence doc, wire-message catalog, the retail physics workflow - starting with the observed long-jump landing bounce), and six are new feature bodies for milestone sequencing (login/char creation, summoning, fellowship/allegiance tabs, in-game map, chat color/text fidelity from the cdb-captured retail values, missing slash commands). Intake ledger only; sequencing happens in the roadmap after V11 closes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Post-Campaign-V work intake — 2026-07-29
User-provided forward list, captured during Campaign V's V11 closeout, sorted into three buckets by what already exists for each item. This is an intake ledger, not a work order: sequencing into milestones happens in the roadmap once Campaign V closes.
A. Already planned — lands on staged work; do not double-plan
| Item | Where it already lives |
|---|---|
| Selecting wielded weapons / items players wield | Slice 4 of the active world-interaction completion program (2026-07-23-world-interaction-completion.md) — "equipped-child world picking" is the program's named resume point, paused for Campaign V. |
| Vendor management | Slices 5–6 of the same program: vendor browsing, then server-authoritative transactions. |
| Settings tab in GUI | The retained-UI dev-panels follow-up filed at V11 (ImGui Settings panel was deleted with the dev stack). Re-home onto the retained retail UI via a new IPanelRenderer; panels themselves need no rewrite. Until then keybinds fall back to keybinds.json. |
B. Verification campaigns — research already exists; work is adoption/audit
| Item | Existing foundation | Shape of the work |
|---|---|---|
| VERIFY all enums | docs/research/2026-06-04-property-enum-divergence.md: 929 values missing across 7 Property* enums, plus the acdream-property-enum-sweep skill for regeneration. |
Extend the sweep beyond Property* to every wire-adjacent enum family; adopt values with ACE as oracle; conformance tests per enum. |
| Verify networking stack | docs/research/2026-06-04-wire-message-catalog.md: 256 opcodes catalogued, 114 parsed. |
Audit parsed-vs-stub-vs-missing against the catalog; prioritize by what live servers actually send (Coldeve session logs are now a real corpus); holtburger remains the client-side oracle. |
| Physics review — retail landing bounce et al. | The named-retail decomp workflow; carried debt #116 (slide response), TS-50/51/53 in the divergence register. | A focused fidelity pass: start with the user's observed case — long-jump landing should bounce/recoil as retail does (grep named-retail for the landing/impact path in MovementManager/SetMotion land states before writing anything). Each fix follows grep→decompile→pseudocode→port→conformance. |
C. New feature bodies — milestone candidates, no existing spec
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Login flow + character creation | Today: env-var auto-login, auto-enter first character. Retail flow = server select → account login UI → character list → creation screens (heritage/attributes/skills/appearance) → enter. Big body; touches wire (char-creation ops), retained UI, and the D.2b LayoutDesc import path. The Coldeve session proves multi-character accounts already half-work (it picked Barris). |
| Implement summoning | Post-M3 magic school: summon wire ops, pet entity lifecycle (spawn/follow/combat), CombatPet UI. Depends on enum + wire verification above for the summon-specific messages. |
| Fellowship and allegiance tabs | Two retained-UI panels + their wire surfaces (fellowship create/join/share; allegiance tree/pledges). Wire catalog marks the op families; parser status needs the B-bucket audit first. |
| In-game map button | Dereth map UI from DAT map art + player-position overlay; retail's MapView panel via LayoutDesc. |
| Chatbox cleanup — colors and text | memory/reference_retail_chat_colors.md holds exact retail RGBA values captured via cdb from live retail memory — the color half is research-done, implementation-pending. Text half: font/wrapping/timestamp fidelity vs retail. |
| Missing commands (/ah and more) | Inventory the retail slash-command surface (named-retail has the command table), diff against LiveCommandBus's registered set, implement by demand-order from the user's play. |
Suggested sequencing notes (for the roadmap discussion, not binding)
- Bucket A resumes first — it was the active program before Campaign V and two of the user's twelve items are literally its next slices.
- The B-bucket verifications de-risk everything in C (summoning, fellowship, char creation all sit on unverified wire surfaces); the enum+wire audits are also the cheapest to run as background subagent campaigns.
- C-bucket items should each get a brainstormed spec before code, per the roadmap rules; login/char-creation is the largest and most player-visible.
