LayoutImporter.BuildWidget gains a UiMeter-specific branch after the
ConsumesDatChildren gate: Type-3 slice containers (already consumed by
DatWidgetFactory.BuildMeter to extract sprite ids) are skipped, but all
other children (Type-12 UIElement_Text overlays) are built normally,
registered in byId, and attached as UiElement children of the meter.
This fixes the XP meter (0x10000236): its two Type-12 children
0x10000237 "XP for next level:" label
0x10000238 XP-to-next-level value
are now real UiText widgets in the tree, findable via FindElement.
CharacterStatController.Bind now uses FindElement + LinesProvider binding
instead of injecting runtime AddChild nodes. The two previously-injected
UiText overlays are removed; the controller binds Padding=0, ClickThrough,
RightAligned on the dat-origin widgets instead.
New constants XpNextLabelId + XpNextValueId replace the old comment block.
TAB GROUPS (SKIPPED — documented): UiText.ConsumesDatChildren flipping is
NOT safe globally (risks chat/vitals) and the page-visibility pass in
CharacterStatController depends on tab group Children.Count==0. Tab sprite
injection onto layout.Root stays and is explicitly commented as deliberate.
VITALS SAFE: health/stamina/mana meters have only Type-3 children → new
loop finds nothing → zero UiElement children added → byte-identical render.
VitalsController.BindMeter AddChild(number) pattern unchanged.
Tests: 3 new LayoutImporterTests (slice-only, Fix-5 text children,
vitals regression guard) + 3 CharacterStatControllerTests (label bound,
value bound, missing children no-throw). 715 tests pass.
