Erik 996cd73675 fix(CT6): fix round — chrome-inclusive host clamp (BLOCKER B1) + 372px mount default 
Opus dual-lens review of CT6 (ec50455a) found 1 blocker, 4 should-fix, 5
notes. All applied:

BLOCKER B1 — the shared gmPanelUI host (0x100005FE) IS retail's own
outer window frame, not a content element: its authored 310/372/310/1000
already include the 5px bevel on every side. RetailWindowFrame.Mount was
adding the NineSlice wrapper's OWN 10px chrome inset on top of that
already-chrome-inclusive source, clamping MinWidth to 320 while the
window's actual mounted outer width stayed 310 — silently below its own
minimum until RetailWindowManager.ResizeTo forcibly widened it despite
ResizeX=false. Fixed with a new
RetailWindowFrame.Options.DatConstraintSourceIsOuterFrame opt-out
(chrome inset = 0 for constraint resolution only, value stays
DAT-sourced); MountCharacter sets it true. Mounted clamp is now exactly
the host's four raw values: width fixed 310, height 372..1000. Added a
mount-time invariant (throws if the mounted outer extent falls outside
its own just-computed clamp) that would have caught this at the first
test run.

S4 (campaign-lead ruling) — the window must MOUNT at retail's authored
default, outer 372 (content 362, matching the host's own content parent
0x10000180), not 0x2100002E's own 300x600 content-authoring canvas
(which produced a stale 610px default pre-fix: 600 + 10 chrome inset).
372 is exactly the host's own authored MinHeight — retail opens at its
resize floor and can only be dragged taller. MountCharacter now sets
ContentHeight=362f explicitly. At this default the 9 attribute/vital
rows (180px) overflow the 160px list immediately — retail-correct, not
a regression.

S2 — 0x1000023E and 0x10000533 both author property 0x79
(HideWhenDisabled) TRUE (fixture-verified: BoolValue=true on both). A
fitting list HIDES the scrollbar entirely; it does not draw a full-track
"disabled" thumb. The code was already correct; four wrong descriptions
(plan ledger, CharacterStatController comment, CT7 script, test comment)
are corrected, plus a new IsPresentationVisible assertion pair in the
resize test.

S3 — CharacterTitlesController's `if (listBox.LayoutPolicy is null)`
Anchors fallback was unreachable on both the real DAT and the fixture
(0x10000532/0x10000539 both author HasOriginalParentSize=true, so
LayoutPolicy is always assigned). Deleted; added an InstalledDatFact pin
guarding the deletion against DAT drift.

N4 — renamed NineSlice_ChatShapedConstraints_... to
NineSlice_ContentShapedConstraints_InsetArithmeticClampsProgrammaticResize
(it tested inset arithmetic on a content-shaped source, not chat's real
contract) and added a true chat-contract pin mounting Chrome=Imported
with chat's real 300/100/2000/2000 constraints, asserting no inset
applies.

N5 — corrected the "nothing inferred, no register row" sentences in the
ground-truth doc and plan ledger: they were false pre-fix (the mounted
clamp WAS an inferred double-counted composition); true now that B1
removes the composition.

CT7 script §4 rewritten with exact clamps (no "≈"), the corrected
default-overflow scrollbar behavior, and an absolute starting-height
statement.

Verified: full hermetic solution suite green (15,441 tests, Release,
Lane exclusions per the release gate), InstalledDat lane green across
the whole solution (414 tests, ACDREAM_RUN_INSTALLED_DAT_TESTS=1,
Status!=KnownFailure) including two new pins
(TitlesListAndPage_AuthorHasOriginalParentSize,
Imported_ChatContract_ClampsAtAuthoredBoundsWithNoChromeInset).

acdream documentation map

This page is the entry point for project documentation. It distinguishes current sources of truth from implementation history so an old plan or issue banner cannot silently override the current program state.

Current snapshot — 2026-07-27

  • Milestone state: M3, “Cast a spell,” landed 2026-07-21. M4, “Live in the world,” is active.
  • M4 gameplay program: resume the pre-M4 world-interaction completion program. Favorite-spell overflow, status Use/Assess, and the complete assessment surface are user-accepted. Equipped-child picking and vendor browse/transactions remain Slices 4–6.
  • Structural/runtime state: all eight GameWindow decomposition slices, Modern Runtime Slices A–J, and the connected visual/lifecycle gates are complete. GameWindow is a 1,622-line composition/callback shell. AcDream.Runtime.GameRuntime owns canonical session, entity/object, gameplay, movement, physics, projectile, environment, and portal state; graphical and no-window hosts borrow the same owner graph.
  • Headless state: Slice K is complete. AcDream.Headless is a presentation-free Windows/Linux host with deterministic commands/events, shared immutable content, multi-session isolation, reconnect, resource telemetry, and 1/5/10/30-session gates. The final two-account native-Linux soak completed ten minutes, logged out through ACE, and converged every ownership ledger.
  • Linux graphical state: Slice L0 and the L1 implementation checkpoint are complete at 66f114b2 and 11501d52. Native Windows passes the active modern-GL/audio/window smoke. WSLg X11/Wayland correctly reject their missing GL_ARB_bindless_texture. Physical-Linux validation and L2–L6 are explicitly deferred; resume at the supported AMD/NVIDIA L1 gate.
  • Completed gameplay gates: R6 locomotion/collision/projectile/teleport/ radar, two-client portal-out/materialization, indoor prepared collision, loot ordering, local/remote ground drops, and selection-marker lifetime.
  • Separate visual verification: issue #225, the shared-alpha lifestone/particle result; its connected resource-lifetime and performance routes pass.
  • Carried behaviour debt: issue #153 (far teleport onto an unstreamed edge), #116 (narrowed slide response), #235 (capped/RDP jump cadence), and the active temporary-stopgap rows in the divergence register.
  • Divergence audit: 189 active rows — IA 18, AD 38, AP 91, TS 38, and UN 4 — plus retained struck/retired historical rows such as TS-37.
  • Latest automated baseline: the Release build succeeds with the 17 test-project warnings tracked by issue #228; 8,826 tests pass and five are intentionally skipped. App passes 3,763 / 3 skips. The L1 Windows supported smoke and WSLg X11/Wayland negative-capability reports all end with zero window/GL/input/audio ownership.

Sources of truth

Read these in this order when deciding what to do next:

  1. plans/2026-05-12-milestones.md — the active playable outcome, freeze boundaries, and visual gates.
  2. plans/2026-04-11-roadmap.md — strategic phase ledger: shipped, active, deferred, and future work.
  3. ISSUES.md — tactical defects and small follow-ups. The status inside an issue is authoritative; physical order is not.
  4. architecture/retail-divergence-register.md — every known place runtime behavior can differ from retail.
  5. architecture/acdream-architecture.md and architecture/code-structure.md — ownership, dependency, update-thread, and extraction rules.
  6. architecture/worldbuilder-inventory.md — rendering/DAT code already owned in-tree versus mechanisms still ours to port.

If these disagree, milestones control the current outcome, the roadmap controls work ordering, the issue status controls the individual defect, and the architecture documents control implementation shape. Reconcile the stale document in the same change; do not leave both claims standing.

Research and implementation records

  • research/named-retail/ is the primary retail oracle: named pseudo-C, headers, symbols, and types from the Sept 2013 build.
  • research/decompiled/ is the older Ghidra fallback.
  • research/ contains focused pseudocode, traces, fixtures, and gate reports. A dated research note records evidence; it does not become a new roadmap.
  • superpowers/specs/ and superpowers/plans/ are per-slice design and execution records. Completed plans remain historical.
  • ci-and-releases.md is the SSOT for the Gitea CI pipeline, the self-hosted runners, and how alpha releases are published. Load-sensitive tests live in Lane=Timing; see release-gate.md before adding to it.
  • launch-options.md is the SSOT for every environment variable and command-line argument the client reads, including what each one changes about the run beyond its obvious effect. Read the side-effects column before trusting any measurement. Enforced by LaunchOptionsDocumentationTests: a flag without a row fails the build, and so does a row whose read site was deleted.
  • audit/ contains completion and conformance audits.
  • reference/ace-commands.md preserves the local ACE server's complete in-game command catalog and points to the authoritative per-command help surface.

Durable memory

  • ../claude-memory/MEMORY.md indexes the live subsystem memories and the render/physics digests. Read a domain digest before changing that subsystem, especially its DO-NOT-RETRY table.
  • ../memory/ contains stable engineering references such as the modern rendering pipeline, two-tier streaming, and toolchain notes.

Memory accelerates recall; it does not outrank the canonical documents above. When current truth changes, update the relevant canonical document and distill only the durable lesson into memory.

Historical and deprecated documents

  • bugs.md is the April 2026 bug snapshot. It is preserved for archaeology and is not an active ledger.
  • Dated plans and specs describe the decision at that time. Their completion wording is historical unless the current milestone/roadmap explicitly links the item as active.
  • Old R1→R8 architecture sequencing is superseded. Current execution comes from the milestones and strategic roadmap.

Documentation maintenance rules

  • Update milestone, roadmap, issue, divergence, architecture, and memory claims in the same commit when a shipped change affects them.
  • Keep one issue ID per defect. Narrow an issue in place; do not reuse another issue's number as a shorthand.
  • Mark automated, connected, and visual gates separately. An automated pass is not a visual acceptance, and an RDP throughput sample is not a local-display visual comparison.
  • Preserve research history, but remove stale “current/next” claims from living documents once the state advances.
