Erik f8a2258979 feat(ui): Campaign AS AS2 — examination header identity block (G1/G2/G3/G5/G10)
Retail's CharExamineUI::SetAppraiseInfo (@0x004B45F0, player-target
examine subview) binds four fixed header lines that acdream was feeding
from the wrong appraisal properties:

- 0x10000150 (Heritage) got raw string prop 4 verbatim. Retail composes
  "<Gender> <Heritage>" via InqGenderHeritageDisplay (@0x005B5AE0) from
  Int 113 Gender + Int 188 HeritageGroup, falling back to the assessed
  object's creature-type name only when HeritageGroup == 0. Reuses the
  Campaign CT gender/heritage tables in CharacterIdentityText (new
  GenderHeritageDisplay helper) and the controller's existing
  CreatureDisplayNameResolver for the creature-type fallback arm.
- 0x10000151 (Profession/title) got AllegianceName (string 47) — the
  title line was never shown at all. Now resolves the CURRENT display
  title from Int 261 CharacterTitleId through CharacterTitleResolver
  (CharacterTitleTable::GetCharacterTitleFromID @0x005C6ED0), falling
  back to String 5 Template verbatim when the id is absent or
  unresolvable. RetailUiRuntime.MountAppraisal now wires the SAME
  CharacterTitleResolver instance the D.2b Character panel already
  owns (_bindings.Character.TitleResolver), resolved per call under
  DatLock — never captured once at mount time, per the secure-trade
  deferred-Func lesson.
- 0x10000152 (PlayerKiller) got MonarchsName (string 11) — never shown.
  Ruling R7: retail reads the LOCAL weenie's PWD bits
  (ACCWeenieObject::IsPK/IsPKLite @0x0058C8B0/@0x0058C8A0), never the
  appraisal payload. Now reads the assessed ClientObject's
  PublicWeenieBitfield directly (bit 0x20 -> "Player Killer", bit
  0x02000000 -> "Player Killer Lite", else "Non-Player Killer").
  Apply()'s existing bail-out when the object has left the local table
  already matches retail's "weenie is gone, leave the line cleared".
- 0x1000053A (AllegianceName) invented a literal "Assessment
  incomplete" on failed assess — zero retail provenance, deleted
  outright. Retail clears the element first (ClearCreatureText already
  does this every ApplyCreature call) then sets String 47
  AllegianceName only inside the Int 30 AllegianceRank >= 1 gate.
  Scoped to the character branch since retail's CreatureExamineUI
  (monsters) never binds this element at all.

None of the four lines are success-gated — ACE sends the int/string
tables even on a failed assess, matching retail's own composition.

First-ever AppraisalView.Character controller test coverage (gap G10):
header composition, title/allegiance fallback and gating, all three PK
variants plus the missing-object clear case, failed-assess rendering
with a repo grep confirming the invented literal is gone, and a
regression pin proving the monster (character: false) path is
untouched.

Register: files AD-114 for the examination preview's animated clone
(mirrors the assessed target's live current pose via
CreatureAppraisalFramePresenter) versus retail's independently
animated private CreatureMode clone (BasicCreatureExamineUI::Init
@0x004AB9C0) — owner-ruled intentional deviation, 2026-08-25
("we animate it, and I like it").

Full hermetic suite green: 15,469 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.
