Client UI Systems Atlas

Client UI Systems Atlas

This page maps the client-facing UI layer from source: description.ext, Rsc/*.hpp, Client/GUI, client FSM loops, map marker scripts, HUD/title resources and WASP overlays. For a player-facing workflow tour before diving into implementation, use Player UI workflow map; for a compact quick reference, use Client UI, HUD and menus.

All paths are relative to Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus/.

Unless a row names another ref, source anchors below are valid for docs head docs/developer-wiki-index 68bd4dc5. Rechecked 2026-06-14: targeted source diffs from a03a1fb5 and b5219d47 to HEAD over checked Chernarus and maintained Vanilla UI/Rsc paths return no changes, preserving the earlier a71b42fe, 2fef1e3d and f7bc72a8 source-anchor snapshots. The vote/help/main-menu matrix was separately refreshed on 2026-06-23 at docs head 322ef95e; checked vote/help/router paths are unchanged from 087152f5 and 68bd4dc5, while current stable/B74.1 is origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34. Current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04 changes source-Chernarus Init_Client.sqf for tint-resource guarding and join/connect ACK failovers, but not the checked vote/help/router controller debt. The Economy dialog/resource route was refreshed on 2026-06-24 at repo docs branch HEAD@427346b0d; checked Economy paths are unchanged from 21f0d53b, d2a3f995 and b5219d47, while current stable/B74.1 f8a76de34 and current B74.2 21b62b04 both keep the stable-shaped 23020 dashboard repair in both maintained roots. The stale old upgrade dialog route was refreshed on 2026-06-24 at repo docs branch HEAD@208062b4e; checked upgrade dialog/controller paths are unchanged from 427346b0d, 0fdd5602 and d4cfef80, while current stable/B74.1 f8a76de34, current B74.2 21b62b04, B69 8d465fce, B74 b23f557f and historical a96fdda2 have no maintained-root stale RscMenu_Upgrade hits. The duplicate-IDD route was refreshed on 2026-06-24 at repo docs branch HEAD@5990557155b0; checked Dialogs/Titles IDD paths are unchanged from edbd341e / b5219d47, while current stable/B74.1 f8a76de34, current B74.2 21b62b04, B69 8d465fce, B74 b23f557f and historical a96fdda2 split EASA to 24000 in both maintained roots. Miksuu b8389e748243 and origin/perf/quick-wins 0076040f still keep the old duplicate dialog IDD.

Use this table before turning a UI atlas line ref into a branch claim. Detailed matrices stay in the owner sections and linked pages; this table is only the route map.

Ref	UI source shape	Practical route
Docs head 322ef95e for vote/help/router, 427346b0d for Economy-control routing, 208062b4e for stale-upgrade dialog routing, 5990557155b0 for duplicate-IDD routing and 68bd4dc5 for broader UI anchors	Checked Chernarus and maintained Vanilla UI/Rsc paths are unchanged from a03a1fb5, b5219d47 and the older a71b42fe, 2fef1e3d and f7bc72a8 atlas/resource snapshots; the stale-upgrade checked paths are also unchanged from 427346b0d, 0fdd5602 and d4cfef80, Economy controller/resource paths are unchanged from 21f0d53b / d2a3f995 / b5219d47, Dialogs/Titles IDD paths are unchanged from edbd341e / b5219d47, and vote/help/router paths are unchanged from 087152f5. That archived docs/source shape still has visible MenuAction = 19 as FPS HUD, handler-only 17/18 GPS zoom routes, stale RscMenu_Upgrade at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:2425,2428 with missing GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf and missing wf_*.paa icon block, Economy stale writes to 23004/23005/23006 while RscMenu_Economy lacks those controls and 23020, EASA/Economy duplicate 23000, duplicate title 10200, shared currentCutDisplay title ownership and malformed RscClickableText.soundPush[].	Use this page for orientation and current docs-source line refs; use UI resource parity cleanup, UI IDD collision repair, Commander vote/reassignment and the clickable-text matrix before making patch-ready claims. Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 21b62b04, B69 8d465fce, B74 b23f557f and historical a96fdda2 remove the stale Economy writes, use declared dashboard 23020, remove the stale old upgrade class and split EASA to idd = 24000; current stable also fixes the clickable-text base config. Title IDD/handle, vote/help/router and other branch-scoped UI work remain open.
Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34; current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04	Current stable/B74.1 maintained roots remove stale RscMenu_Upgrade, split EASA to idd = 24000, rewrite Economy around declared dashboard control 23020, expose visible action 19 as GPS enablement and carry valid RscClickableText.soundPush[] = {"", 0.2, 1}; at Rsc/Ressources.hpp:556. Current B74.2 has no checked stale-upgrade or Economy dialog/resource delta over current stable and no checked d472da6a..21b62b04 stale-upgrade/Economy delta; both maintained roots keep only live WFBE_UpgradeMenu at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:4-7, opened from GUI_Menu.sqf:190. They still keep vote/help cleanup debt, handler-only 17/18 GPS zoom routes, duplicate title IDD and shared currentCutDisplay title ownership. Scoped diff 0139a3468609..origin/master is empty for checked stale-upgrade paths, changes only source-Chernarus Economy dashboard label text among checked Economy paths and only Init_Client.sqf among checked vote/help/router paths. Current B74.2 has no vote/help/router controller rescue, though source-Chernarus Init_Client.sqf now line-drifts through tint-resource and join/connect ACK failover work.	Treat current stable/B74.1/B74.2 as source-present for stale-upgrade deletion, Economy/resource parity and clickable-text base config only; do not import that status into archived docs/Miksuu/perf/release refs. Title and vote/help/router work remain open, and B74.2 is branch-only source Chernarus work outside these controller/resource clusters.
B74.2 AICOM branch origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04	Branch merge-base is current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34; gh pr list --head claude/b74.2-aicom --state all returned []; payload is 29 source Chernarus files / +424 / -38, git diff --check clean, and has no Missions_Vanilla diff. UI-touching changes include live pop-tier player-AI caps in RHUD (Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:354-360) and Buy Units (GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:37-43), bounded AICOM marker-feed requests (updateaicommarkers.sqf:47-55) with targeted server replay (Init_Server.sqf:927-943), carrier airfield fallback (Client_GetClosestAirport.sqf:27-35), carrier respawn availability/execution (Client_GetRespawnAvailable.sqf:117-124; Client_OnRespawnHandler.sqf:50-61), default vehicle tints off (Init_CommonConstants.sqf:840), tint legend resource guarding (Init_Client.sqf:351) and join/connect ACK failovers (Init_Client.sqf:654-681,693-714).	Branch-only UI/runtime candidate; route AI/pop-tier through AI commander autonomy, carrier capture through Towns/camps, stats through Player stats branch audit and smoke through Testing workflow. Before promotion, smoke JIP marker feed replay, RHUD/buy cap updates across pop tiers, carrier air-shop fallback, carrier deck respawn, tint resource guard, join/connect failover and Chernarus-only versus maintained Vanilla scope.
B74.5 primitive roster branch origin/claude/b745@b996bcb3	Branch includes B74.2 as an ancestor and adds the 4d16fad70 primitive vote-roster fallback only in source Chernarus among the checked vote/JIP paths. GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:10-35 builds from live WFBE_Client_Teams when any team has a player leader, otherwise adds names from WFBE_JIP_ROSTER_PRIMS with row value -1; :75-99 hands over once live groups arrive; :119-125 gates the per-tick name/vote/color update while primitives are visible. GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:10-32,69-91 mirrors the primitive build/prune gate. No WFBE_JIP_ROSTER_PRIMS, ROSTER-PUSH or CLIENTROSTER hits were found in origin/master@f8a76de34, origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, miksuu/master@b8389e74 or maintained Vanilla Takistan checked paths.	Branch-only source-Chernarus vote/JIP display fallback, not current stable or maintained Vanilla behavior. Route server/JIP plumbing through Player join/disconnect, vote outcome caveats through Commander vote/reassignment and branch smoke through Testing workflow. Smoke late join with delayed/broken wfbe_teams, both vote menus, primitive rows staying visible without blank names/RPT spam, and handover from primitive -1 rows to live team-index rows before treating votes as castable player-team choices.
Trello artillery UI/UX candidates origin/claude/trello-arty-cooldown-hud@471fc0580fd6, origin/claude/trello-arty-to-gunner@2dc3e7403399 and draft PR #79 origin/claude/trello-artillery-ux@c4459d4312ef	All three branches merge-base directly on current stable origin/master@f8a76de34. The cooldown branch adds the RHUD artillery row in both maintained roots (Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:27,259,452; Rsc/Titles.hpp:177,478-490). The crew branch adds Tactical button idc 17040, MenuAction == 50 and the STR_WF_TACTICAL_CrewArtillery* keys in both roots (GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:571-626; Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:2364-2371; stringtable.xml:3192-3213). PR #79 changes the Tactical artillery list itself in both roots (GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:42-57) so rows show effective min/max range text, then updates the fire-mission warning/marker cleanup path (Client_RequestFireMission.sqf:31-38,58-60; Server_HandleSpecial.sqf Chernarus :144-160 / Vanilla :134-150; stringtable.xml Chernarus :9304-9311 / Vanilla :9304-9310). Current stable has no RUBHUD_Arty, no exact if (MenuAction == 50) tactical action, no crew-artillery string keys, no range-suffixed artillery list rows, no third gun-count placeholder and no ArtyMarkerCleanup tag.	Branch-only UI/UX candidates; route behavior through Support specials and tactical modules, promotion through Feature status and smoke through Testing workflow. PR #79 also adds a server RequestSpecial marker-cleanup tag, so keep marker deletion authority review with support/networking owners before stable wording.
Miksuu b8389e74 and origin/perf/quick-wins 0076040f	Checked maintained roots keep the docs/source-style stale upgrade/Economy/EASA resource shape, visible action 19 as FPS HUD, handler-only 17/18 GPS zoom routes, malformed clickable-text base config and title-handle risks.	Recheck exact lines before merge wording. These refs do not rescue the UI resource, title, vote/help/router or clickable-text cleanup lanes.
Trello upgrade/HQ cost info candidate origin/claude/trello-upgrade-hqcost-info@34fd202c8865 / draft PR #75	Branch merge-base is current stable origin/master@f8a76de34; payload is six maintained-root files / +96 and git diff --check clean. In both source Chernarus and maintained Vanilla, Client_FNC_Special.sqf:204,212-223 keeps the existing upgrade-complete command chat and adds extra scalar lines only for WFBE_UP_ARTYTIMEOUT and WFBE_UP_RESPAWNRANGE; GUI_TransferMenu.sqf:124-129 appends STR_WF_INFO_NewHQCost from WFBE_C_STRUCTURES_HQ_COST_DEPLOY; stringtable.xml:459-473,1055-1061 adds the new string keys. Current stable has the existing generic upgrade-complete chat at Client_FNC_Special.sqf:204 and transfer footer at GUI_TransferMenu.sqf:124-125, but no new value-message or New HQ cost string keys.	Branch-only UI/info-text candidate; route upgrade semantics through Upgrades and research, HQ deploy-cost ownership through Commander/HQ lifecycle, promotion through Feature status and smoke through Testing workflow.
Trello upgrade-icons candidate origin/claude/trello-upgrade-icons@baf8d9c304ad / draft PR #77	Branch merge-base is current stable origin/master@f8a76de34; payload is two maintained-root Client/GUI/GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf files / +8 and git diff --check clean. In source Chernarus plus maintained Vanilla, the branch keeps the existing _upgrade_images missionNamespace read at GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf:12, then paints non-empty upgrade images into listbox 504001 column 0 at :27-28 during initial fill and :173-174 after refresh/reordering. Existing image paths come from Common/Config/Core_Upgrades/Labels_Upgrades.sqf:104-125; current stable reads the same image array for the selected detail pane but has no maintained-root lnbSetPicture call in GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf. Bohemia's lnbSetPicture command documentation describes the command as setting a picture at a ListNBox row/column item.	Branch-only upgrade-list visual candidate; route upgrade config semantics through Upgrades and research, promotion through Feature status and smoke through Testing workflow. Do not treat it as new image assets, localization, upgrade authority, stale RscMenu_Upgrade cleanup or current stable behavior.
Trello map-radius circles candidate origin/claude/trello-map-radius-circles@77dd71ba / draft PR #78	Branch merge-base is current stable origin/master@f8a76de34; payload is six maintained-root files / +192 / -4 and git diff --check clean. In source Chernarus plus maintained Vanilla Takistan, the branch adds Client/Functions/Client_AmbulanceRedeployCircles.sqf:1-69, spawns it at Init_Client.sqf:1227, and creates client-local yellow AmbRange_ Ellipse/Border markers around own-side ambulance and redeploy-truck classnames. The range comes from WFBE_C_RESPAWN_RANGES at the local WFBE_UP_RESPAWNRANGE level and resizes/repositions every 5 seconds. The same branch adds side-colored local HQBuildRange Ellipse/Border markers in Init_BaseStructure.sqf:54-68 (Vanilla :35-49) using WFBE_C_BASE_AREA_RANGE + WFBE_C_BASE_HQ_BUILD_RANGE, and removes them on structure death at Chernarus :151-158 / Vanilla :132-139. Current stable has the underlying constants/lists and respawn/base validation paths but no maintained-root Client_AmbulanceRedeployCircles, AmbRange_ or HQBuildRange symbols.	Branch-only local map-marker/map-indicator candidate, not current stable behavior. Route map ownership through Client UI systems, HQ/build-radius ownership through Commander/HQ lifecycle and Construction/CoIn systems, mobile-spawn behavior through Respawn and death lifecycle, redeploy-truck eligibility caveats through Medic redeployment truck, promotion through Feature status and smoke through Testing workflow.

Dialog Risks

• RscDisplay_Parameters is live and still opens Client/GUI/GUI_Display_Parameters.sqf, but the old uptime write to IDC 22005 is block-commented in current source, maintained Vanilla, modded copies, stable/upstream and release. The resource declares the live listbox/buttons (22003, 22004) and no 22005; treat this as safe comment cleanup, not a missing-control runtime bug.
• UI resource parity cleanup owns the branch/root matrix for the stale old upgrade dialog, Economy missing-control writes and duplicate IDDs. Short version after the 2026-06-24 stale-upgrade, Economy and duplicate-IDD refreshes: docs/source, current Miksuu and perf keep the old dialog class, stale Economy-control writes and EASA/Economy duplicate 23000; current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 21b62b04, B69 8d465fce, B74 b23f557f and historical release a96fdda2 remove the stale old upgrade class, remove the stale Economy writes and use declared dashboard 23020 in both maintained roots. Current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74/release split EASA to 24000 and keep Economy on 23000, but still leave RscOverlay/OptionsAvailable duplicated on idd = 10200 and sharing the currentCutDisplay title-handle path. Use UI resource parity cleanup before changing these rows, then UI IDD collision repair for duplicate-IDD and title-handle patch details.
• GUI_Menu_Service.sqf:240-244 still carries a stale TBD: Add dialog comment even though the live path closes the service menu and opens RscMenu_EASA. Treat it as stale commentary, not evidence that EASA is missing.
• UI dialog lifecycle scout 2026-06-04 (RESOLVED, current master f8a76de3): GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:6-8 now resets MenuAction, mouseButtonDown and mouseButtonUp all to -1 on open, matching comparable map-click dialogs (GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:3-4, GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:137-138, GUI_Menu_UnitCamera.sqf:8-9, GUI_RespawnMenu.sqf:28). Its map-sell path consumes mouseButtonUp at GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:107. The earlier missing-mouseButtonUp-reset latch debt no longer exists; no smoke recommendation remains.
• UI dialog lifecycle scout 2026-06-04: GUI_Menu_EASA.sqf:3-4 exits on unsupported vehicle player without closing the dialog. That can leave a blank/partial EASA surface if the dialog opens from stale context; action-time guards should close or route back cleanly.
• DR-16: GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:32-35 has a commented HQ-death sell guard, while active structure sell/refund logic remains at :105-150. The UI exposes useful commander affordances, but the sell path belongs to the server-authority migration class.
• GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:93-96 keeps old WFBE_RequestSpecial relay comments around the live RespawnST send-to-server path, and :136-141 still has a cleanup TODO to replace a name/find lookup with object variables.
• The main menu and most submenus are not event-driven state machines. They are while {alive player && dialog} polling loops with sleep delays. Keep new work small inside those loops and reuse existing update flags.
• Several menu files return to WF_Menu by closeDialog 0; createDialog "WF_Menu" rather than maintaining a stack. Adding nested dialogs must preserve those return paths.

Client Modal Loop Cadence

This cadence map is an index for performance triage, not a patch order. It separates dialog-only high-frequency loops from already-instrumented long-running UI/HUD/marker loops. Current Chernarus and maintained Vanilla share the same checked line refs for the .01 and .05 rows below.

Cadence	Scope	Current-source anchors	Instrumentation state	Owner / next step
sleep .01	Highest under-covered dialog-only cadence. Buy Gear, Transfer, Respawn and Upgrade menus poll menu action/state while the dialog is open.	Client/GUI/GUI_BuyGearMenu.sqf:503; Client/GUI/GUI_TransferMenu.sqf:94; Client/GUI/GUI_RespawnMenu.sqf:113; Client/GUI/GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf:282. Maintained Vanilla has the same paths/lines.	No local PerformanceAudit_Record writer was found in those four controllers.	Add client-side measurement first, then consider dirty flags, event latches or coarser sleeps only after gear, transfer, respawn selector and upgrade-list smoke proves no UI regression. Route details through Gear/loadout/EASA, Respawn/death lifecycle and Upgrades/research.
sleep 0.05	Commander vote, regular vote and team menu polling while visible.	Client/GUI/GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:92; Client/GUI/GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:67; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Team.sqf:77. Maintained Vanilla has the same paths/lines.	No local PerformanceAudit_Record writer was found in those controllers.	Lower priority than the .01 modal loops. Keep vote refresh, row-color and reassignment smoke tied to Commander vote/reassignment.
sleep 0.1	Standard main/menu controllers.	Client/GUI/GUI_Menu.sqf:211; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:492; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:534; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:750; Client/GUI/GUI_Display_Parameters.sqf:20; additional service/camera/economy/EASA menus follow the same broad modal pattern.	Mostly uninstrumented at controller level, but lower cadence and dialog-only.	Treat as owner-page context, not a first performance patch target. Avoid adding work inside these loops when routing new UI features.
sleep .03 / sleep 0.03	Local marker animation / respawn selector visual refresh.	Client/Functions/Client_UI_Respawn_Selector.sqf:20; Client/Functions/Client_MarkerAnim.sqf:33.	No local audit writer in the checked helpers.	Visual-only active loops; smoke marker animation and respawn selection before changing cadence.
Long-running UI/HUD/marker loops	RHUD/action/title and map marker surfaces.	Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:199-201,367-369; Client/FSM/updateavailableactions.fsm:237; Client/FSM/updatetownmarkers.sqf:119-134.	Already has PerformanceAudit coverage on representative high-value paths.	Prefer collecting client RPT audit rows before touching cadence. Keep these routed through Performance opportunity sweep and the indicator surface matrix.

Branch-Only UI Theme Work

This atlas only keeps the routing facts for branch-only UI work. Full evidence, owner decisions and smoke gates live on the branch-review pages below.

Branch	Atlas-level verdict	Owner route
origin/feat/wf-menu-ops-console 0767c0b5	Branch-only UI theme evidence, not stable-master truth. Chernarus and maintained Vanilla both change Rsc/GUI/HUD theme surfaces; visual smoke, font/texture validation, Chernarus/Vanilla parity and branch whitespace cleanup remain required.	Feature status, Pending owner decisions, Testing workflow
origin/feat/buymenu-easa-qol a66d4691	Narrow Chernarus-only UI QoL branch. It is useful Buy Units/EASA evidence, but not merged behavior and not maintained Vanilla truth until propagated and smoked.	BuyMenu EASA QoL branch audit, Feature status, Testing workflow

Indicator Exploration Backlog

Steff asked to track "all indicators" as a future exploration lane. Initial source scan on 2026-06-06 shows this is not one feature; it is a family of visual/state surfaces that should be audited together before UI, UX or performance cleanup.

Indicator family	Index state	Exact current-source anchors	Canonical owner / next step
HUD/title indicators	Partially indexed	Rsc/Titles.hpp:44-47,126-132,164-173,532-540,723-729; Client/GUI/GUI_SetCurrentCutDisplay.sqf:1; Client/GUI/GUI_ClearCurrentCutDisplay.sqf:1; Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:7,89-92,199-201,367-369; Client/FSM/updateavailableactions.fsm:225-230; Client/FSM/client_title_capture.sqf:47-48,74-79; Client/GUI/GUI_EndOfGameStats.sqf:34-44,86-93.	This page and UI IDD collision repair already own the shared currentCutDisplay risk. Finish a surface/audience/cadence matrix for RHUD, FPS HUD, action icons, capture bar, end stats and CoIn placement feedback.
Map and tactical markers	Needs detailed matrix	Client/Init/Init_Markers.sqf:22-24,45-48; Client/FSM/updatetownmarkers.sqf:20-21,29-30,106,116,129-134; Client/FSM/updateteamsmarkers.sqf:21-24,45-55,165-186,197-208,229; Common/Common_MarkerUpdate.sqf:49-57,67-88,98-109,195-209,218-241; Common/Common_AARadarMarkerUpdate.sqf:10-16,30-33,133,143,156,173,194,198; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:26-35,202-216,350-359,473-505,760-773; Client/GUI/GUI_RespawnMenu.sqf:73-82,194.	Keep on this page. Build a marker inventory for towns, camps, teams, HQs, AARadar aircraft, artillery/ICBM/fast-travel rings, respawn selection and commander orders, with cleanup owner and update cadence.
Support and special markers	Partly canonical, still fragmented	Server/Support/Support_Paratroopers.sqf:117; Client/PVFunctions/HandleParatrooperMarkerCreation.sqf:30-45; Server/Module/MASH/MASHMarker.sqf:1-11; Client/Module/MASH/receiverMASHmarker.sqf:1-27; Client/Functions/Client_FNC_Special.sqf:96-108; Client/Functions/Client_RequestFireMission.sqf:20-32,54-57,75; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:474-505,504-505.	Route support-specific rows through Support specials and Abandoned feature revival. Reconcile working paratrooper markers, orphan MASH relay, UAV spot markers, artillery markers and ICBM cleanup timing.
Menu/list icons and affordance indicators	Partially indexed	Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1171-1232,1525-1614,2110-2123,2372-2378,2638-2831,3463-3469; Rsc/Ressources.hpp:92,143,218,300-312,540-556; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu.sqf:29-35,47-57,101-170,191-207; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:84-90,165-176,237,495-496; Client/Functions/Client_UIFillListBuyUnits.sqf:34-62,68-90,105,107; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:42,64,104,654,660,760-773.	Fast route is Client UI, HUD and menus; detail stays here or in factory/gear owner pages. Audit factory tab icons, crew/lock icons, gear slots, upgrade images, affordability colors, queue labels and branch-only feat/buymenu-easa-qol affordances.
Status/debug/admin channels	Audience split seeded / branch scope refreshed	Repo docs branch HEAD@4a1bc13edde6 remains source-unchanged from a27086cd / d0161083 for checked FPS paths: Server/GUI/serverFpsGUI.sqf:1,6-7; Server/Module/serverFPS/monitorServerFPS.sqf:1,5-6; Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:113,199-201,367-369; Common/Functions/Common_PerformanceAudit.sqf:84,160,196,234; Client/Module/supplyMission/townSupplyStatus.sqf:1-8; Client/PVFunctions/Available.sqf:1; Client/FSM/updateclient.sqf:12-24,161-163,230-232.	Player HUD FPS uses SERVER_FPS_GUI; WFBE_VAR_SERVER_FPS is a compatibility/public-variable status channel in docs-source; PerformanceAudit is RPT/tooling output; supply/status scripts are transient player/admin signals. Current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 and live FPS-named branches use one guarded SERVER_FPS_GUI publisher. Route PV semantics through Networking and public variables and FPS/runtime cleanup through Hosted server FPS loop sleep plus Performance opportunity sweep.
Image/resource references	Missing stale upgrade icon block verified	Rsc/Ressources.hpp:300-304,312,540-556; Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:654,660,666,672,678,1566,1586,1593,1600,1607,1614,2123,2378,2644,2655,2666,2677,2688,2699,2710,2721,2732,2743,2754,2765,2776,2787,2798,2809,2820,2831,3469; Common/Config/Core_Upgrades/Labels_Upgrades.sqf:105-108,111,125.	UI resource parity cleanup now owns the verified missing RscMenu_Upgrade wf_*.paa icon block in Chernarus and maintained Vanilla. Continue broader Client\Images\*.paa/.jpg integrity checks there, and keep the malformed RscClickableText.soundPush[] risk in the same cleanup lane.

Indicator Surface Matrix

This first matrix is a routing map, not a visual redesign. It keeps the broad indicator family inventory above source-backed while giving future UI owners the missing surface, owner script, state source, audience, update cadence, cleanup path, known risk, branch scope and smoke target fields.

Surface	Owner script / resource	State source	Audience	Update cadence	Cleanup path	Known risk	Branch scope	Smoke target
RHUD / FPS HUD and action icons	Rsc/Titles.hpp:164-171; Client/GUI/GUI_SetCurrentCutDisplay.sqf:1; Client/GUI/GUI_ClearCurrentCutDisplay.sqf:1; Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:89-92,199-201,367-369; Client/FSM/updateavailableactions.fsm:225-230.	uiNamespace["currentCutDisplay"], RUBHUD, RUBFPSHUD, visible-map state, local action availability and performance-audit enablement.	Local player.	Long-running client HUD loop plus action FSM refresh.	OptionsAvailable onUnload clears the shared handle; Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:89-92 can recreate the title if the handle is null.	Shared currentCutDisplay handle also services endgame stats, so late-game title ownership can collide with RHUD/action recreation.	This page owns orientation; UI IDD collision repair owns detailed title-ID/handle patch shape.	Join as player, toggle map/GPS, verify RHUD/FPS/action icons survive map transitions; end mission and confirm end stats are not replaced by OptionsAvailable.
Capture and endgame title bars	Rsc/Titles.hpp:532-540,723-729; Client/FSM/client_title_capture.sqf:47-48,74-79; Client/GUI/GUI_EndOfGameStats.sqf:34-44,86-93,147; Client/Module/CoIn/coin_interface.sqf.	Town/camp capture progress, endgame stat totals, CoIn placement state and the same title-display namespace helpers.	Local player / commander during build placement.	Event-driven cutRsc/title displays plus local FSM or interface loop writes.	Capture/endgame titles rely on title unload helpers; CoIn interface owns its placement display lifecycle.	Endgame stats and action/RHUD titles share the same namespace handle; CoIn placement feedback belongs with construction smoke rather than generic HUD cleanup.	Current maintained roots carry these title resources; release branch has the same shared-handle title risk.	Capture/lose a camp, place/cancel a CoIn object, and trigger endgame stats while RHUD is active.
Town, camp, team, HQ and tactical map markers	Client/Init/Init_Markers.sqf:22-24,45-48; Client/FSM/updatetownmarkers.sqf:20-21,29-30,106,116,129-134; Client/FSM/updateteamsmarkers.sqf:21-24,45-55,165-186,197-208,229; Common/Common_MarkerUpdate.sqf:49-57,67-88,195-209,218-241; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:202-216,350-359,473-505,760-773; Client/GUI/GUI_RespawnMenu.sqf:73-82,194.	Local marker arrays, town/camp side state, team/HQ/object positions, tactical selection variables and respawn selection state.	Local player; commander/tactical menu users see additional command surfaces.	Client marker FSMs poll cheaply while map/GPS is closed and force quicker full refresh when map or GPS opens. Common_MarkerUpdate.sqf loops at marker-specific refresh rates.	Marker scripts use local marker creation/update; tactical and respawn menus own their transient selection markers.	Map-open cadence and local marker ownership can hide stale-marker bugs unless map/GPS/JIP states are smoked separately.	Current Chernarus and maintained Vanilla carry the same marker loop topology; release changes should be treated as branch-specific until checked per marker family.	Join/JIP, open/close map and GPS, capture towns/camps, move teams/HQ, select respawn/fast travel, and check stale marker cleanup.
AARadar, artillery, ICBM, UAV, MASH and paratrooper markers	Common/Common_AARadarMarkerUpdate.sqf:10-16,30-33,133,143,156,173,194,198; Server/Support/Support_Paratroopers.sqf:117; Client/PVFunctions/HandleParatrooperMarkerCreation.sqf:30-45; old-shape Server/Module/MASH/MASHMarker.sqf:1-11; old-shape Client/Module/MASH/receiverMASHmarker.sqf:1-27; Client/Functions/Client_FNC_Special.sqf:96-108; Client/Functions/Client_RequestFireMission.sqf:20-32,54-57,75.	Server support calls, client PVF receivers, support request state, marked units/vehicles, side filters and local marker names.	Mostly local player/team/side; support markers may be side- or requester-visible depending on receiver path.	Event-driven marker creation plus client marker loops.	MarkerUpdate handles tracked-unit deletion paths; old-shape MASH and support receivers create/remove their own marker names.	Support marker families are fragmented across support, module and UI pages; paratrooper marker registration and MASH deploy/removal are branch-sensitive.	Current source has the paratrooper sender/receiver files but previous branch matrices still require registration/runtime smoke before calling revival complete; MASH marker/deploy branch scope is owned by the respawn lifecycle atlas.	Drop paratroopers, request artillery/UAV/special support, deploy/remove MASH only on old-shape or revived targets, use AARadar and verify side/audience plus stale-marker removal.
Menu/list icons, affordability colors and resource images	Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1171-1232,1525-1614,2110-2123,2372-2378,2638-2831,3463-3469; Rsc/Ressources.hpp:92,143,218,300-312,540-556; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu.sqf:29-35,47-57,101-170,191-207; Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:84-90,165-176,237,495-496; Client/Functions/Client_UIFillListBuyUnits.sqf:34-62,68-90,105,107.	Dialog IDC state, factory/unit configs, player funds, queue/build state, upgrade labels and Client\Images\*.paa/.jpg resources.	Local player using menus.	Dialog open/refresh loops and list-fill functions; buy-menu tabs refresh while the menu is open.	Dialog close controls clear UI state; resource cleanup belongs to UI resource parity cleanup.	Missing/stale image references can break many menus at once; older branches with malformed RscClickableText.soundPush[] need branch-scoped propagation/smoke before reuse.	Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, B69/B74 and GUER branch hits keep the clickable-text base-control value fixed in both maintained roots at Rsc/Ressources.hpp:556; archived docs/source HEAD@14d74f9d2, Miksuu b8389e748243, perf 0076040f, historical a96fdda2 and UI theme evidence remains branch-scoped old-shape until rechecked or merged.	Open main, buy units, gear, tactical, respawn and upgrade menus; verify icons load, unaffordable states are clear and no missing texture/config errors appear.
Status, debug, admin and performance counters	Repo docs branch HEAD@4a1bc13edde6: Server/GUI/serverFpsGUI.sqf:1,6-7; Server/Module/serverFPS/monitorServerFPS.sqf:1,5-6; Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:113,199-201,367-369; Common/Functions/Common_PerformanceAudit.sqf:84,160,196,234; Client/Module/supplyMission/townSupplyStatus.sqf:1-8; Client/PVFunctions/Available.sqf:1; Client/FSM/updateclient.sqf:12-24,161-163,230-232.	diag_fps, SERVER_FPS_GUI, WFBE_VAR_SERVER_FPS, PerformanceAudit buffers/flushes, supply-status values and client update loop state.	Split four ways: local player HUD, all-client PV status channels, admin/operator status text, and RPT/tooling consumers.	FPS publisher loops every 8 seconds on dedicated servers, RHUD/client update loops, event-style supply-status scripts and PerformanceAudit flush interval.	PerformanceAudit flushes buffered records; status channels stop with script/runtime termination; SERVER_FPS_GUI HUD use is independent from WFBE_VAR_SERVER_FPS compatibility publishing.	Do not prune player HUD, compatibility PVs, admin signals and developer RPT counters as one feature. Current docs-source and stable/B74-shaped refs use different FPS publisher shapes, so smoke/consolidation decisions must be branch-scoped.	Docs head 4a1bc13edde6 keeps two guarded publishers in both maintained roots; current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 21b62b04, B69, B74, client-fps, ASR FPS and historical a96fdda2 use one guarded serverFpsGUI.sqf publisher; Miksuu b8389e748243 and perf 0076040f still keep the old two-publisher loop shape. Owner route: Hosted server FPS loop sleep.	Dedicated FPS-HUD updates, hosted/listen no-spin, WFBE_VAR_SERVER_FPS consumer grep before consolidation, supply mission status smoke, and client/server RPT audit collection with the audit parameter enabled.

Future indicator cleanup should start from this table: pick one row, verify the branch/root scope for that family, then update the canonical owner page instead of adding another broad "all indicators" checklist.

Status Counter Audience Split

The status/debug row is not a single UI feature. In current docs-source HEAD@4a1bc13edde6, unchanged from a27086cd / d0161083 for the checked FPS paths, RHUD/FPS HUD reads SERVER_FPS_GUI at Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:113, and both maintained roots publish it from Server/GUI/serverFpsGUI.sqf:6-7 after the early !isDedicated exit at :1. The second docs-source publisher, Server/Module/serverFPS/monitorServerFPS.sqf:5-6, still publishes WFBE_VAR_SERVER_FPS; no maintained-root player-HUD reader was found in this pass, so treat it as compatibility/status-channel evidence until generated or modded consumers are deliberately retired. Current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 and the live FPS-named branches omit that monitor publisher in maintained roots, so target-branch smoke decides the expected contract.

Keep that separate from PerformanceAudit. Common/Functions/Common_PerformanceAudit.sqf:84,160,196,234 writes RPT/tooling counters, and Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:199-201,367-369 records HUD loop cost when the audit toggle is enabled. Future cleanup should first decide which audience is being changed: player-visible HUD text, public-variable compatibility channel, admin/operator status signal or developer RPT data.

Title And HUD Resource Map

Rsc/Titles.hpp defines long-lived non-modal resources.

Resource	IDD/channel	Runtime owner	Purpose
RscOverlay	idd=10200, channel 1365	Spawned from Init_Client.sqf:147-150	Older GPS/option overlay; sets uiNamespace['GUI'].
CaptureBar	idd=600100, channel 600200	Client/FSM/client_title_capture.sqf	Town/camp capture progress bar using controls 601000-601002.
OptionsAvailable	idd=10200, channel 12450 and default CutRsc	Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf, updateavailableactions.fsm	Shared action icons plus RHUD/FPS HUD controls.
EndOfGameStats	idd=90000	Client/GUI/GUI_EndOfGameStats.sqf	End-of-game stat bars and faction imagery.
WFBE_ConstructionInterface	idd=112200, channel 112200	Client/Module/CoIn/coin_interface.sqf	CoIn building placement cursor, hints, controls and cash panel.

HUD Display Ownership

OptionsAvailable uses onLoad = "_this ExecVM ""Client\GUI\GUI_SetCurrentCutDisplay.sqf""" and onUnload = "_this ExecVM ""Client\GUI\GUI_ClearCurrentCutDisplay.sqf""" (Titles.hpp:170-171). Those one-line scripts maintain uiNamespace["currentCutDisplay"], which is then used by:

• Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:87-95 to recover/recreate the display.
• Client/FSM/updateavailableactions.fsm:225-233 to write action icons into controls 3500 + index.

Current branch check 2026-06-23: RscOverlay and OptionsAvailable still both use idd=10200 in both maintained roots across docs head edbd341e (same line refs as b5219d47: Titles.hpp:44-46, :164-165), current Miksuu b8389e748243 and perf 0076040f (same refs), current stable origin/master@0139a346, B69 8d465fce, B74 b23f557f and historical a96fdda2 (:44-46, :168-169). No checked maintained root has a hard-coded findDisplay 10200 caller, so treat this as title-resource maintenance/debug debt rather than a proven live lookup bug.

The more direct title lifecycle bug is independent of duplicate IDDs. EndOfGameStats has idd=90000, but it sets and clears uiNamespace["currentCutDisplay"] through the same onLoad/onUnload helpers as OptionsAvailable (Titles.hpp:532-540 in docs/Miksuu/perf, :580-588 in current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 and historical release). GUI_EndOfGameStats.sqf:13,34-44,86-93 cuts and writes stat bars through that key on docs/Miksuu/perf/Vanilla stable-shaped roots; current stable/B74.1/B74.2 source Chernarus line-drifts to :15,36-46,88-95 because of the GUER-label addition. The RHUD loop keeps running and can re-cut OptionsAvailable when the shared key is null (Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:89-92,190 in docs/Miksuu/perf; :89-92,266 in current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74; :89-92,258 in historical release). The 2026-06-23 B74.2 current-head follow-up found d472da6a..21b62b04 empty for checked title-handle paths; the stable-to-B74.2 diff changes source-Chernarus RHUD AI-cap text only, not the title handle. All checked maintained roots keep this shared-handle shape; patch title work by splitting display ownership or by gating RHUD/action-icon recreation once endgame begins. Use UI IDD collision repair for the patch checklist instead of duplicating it here.

Client Init UI Boot

Client/Init/Init_Client.sqf wires the UI layer in several waves:

Lines	Behavior
49-80	Compiles old-style UI helpers (BuildUnit, UIChangeComboBuyUnits, UIFillListBuyUnits, UIFillListTeamOrders, UIFindLBValue).
83-85	Defines BIS_FNC_GUIset / BIS_FNC_GUIget wrappers over uiNamespace.
116-127	Compiles gear UI helper functions and respawn selector.
147-150	Keeps RscOverlay alive while no map/camera display is active.
161-162	Clears stale title displays before waiting for common init.
330-339	Initializes RUBHUD, RUBFPSHUD, RUBGPS, RUBOSD, then starts Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf.
356-387	Starts client marker/action/resource/update loops after init.
570-575	Applies skill module, starts WASP base repair and WASP action overlay.
592-593	Loads keybind initialization.
730-736	Re-runs Client/Init/Init_Markers.sqf after a short JIP delay.
779-782	Starts blinking marker bookkeeping only when WFBE_C_MAP_ICON_BLINKING_ENABLED is enabled.
785	Plays Videos/intro720p.ogv.
790	Opens WFBE_VoteMenu if a vote is already running.
959	Shows the long new-player hint with Discord and map guidance.

View Distance And Target FPS Hotkeys

The current source has a live client-side view-distance system:

• Client init sets AUTO_DISTANCE_VIEW_TARGET_FPS to 60 and starts automatic mode off (Init_Client.sqf:12-13,175-176).
• Display 46 binds Common_AdjustViewDistance.sqf as a KeyDown handler (Init_Client.sqf:236-240).
• User18 toggles automatic view distance, saving the current distance before enabling and restoring it when disabled (Common_AdjustViewDistance.sqf:17-33).
• User19/User20 are dual-purpose. In automatic mode they adjust target FPS by 1 and clamp it to 30..240 while persisting WFBE_TARGET_FPS; in manual mode they adjust view distance by 1000 meters through the timer script (Common_AdjustViewDistance.sqf:35-69).
• The automatic loop runs from updateclient.sqf only when the toggle is enabled and the map is not visible (updateclient.sqf:102-107). This preserves the old upstream lesson that FPS helpers must not react to map-open view state.
• Runtime adjustment uses a target band of +/-4 FPS, hard-clamps view distance to 500..6000, lowers by 200 when below the band and raises by 300 or 50 otherwise (Common_AutomaticViewDistance.sqf:6-36).

Historical changelog text says +/-2 FPS. Treat that as old provenance; the current source and messages use +/-4.

Main Menu Router

The player opens the main menu through the scroll action wired by Client/Functions/Client_AddWFMenuAction.sqf:17 and Client/Action/Action_Menu.sqf:1.

Client/GUI/GUI_Menu.sqf polls MenuAction every 0.1 seconds and routes to submenus:

MenuAction	Result
1	RscMenu_BuyUnits
2	WFBE_BuyGearMenu
3	RscMenu_Team
4	Vote menu or commander vote flow
5	RscMenu_Command
6	RscMenu_Tactical
7	WFBE_UpgradeMenu
8	RscMenu_Economy
9	RscMenu_Service
10	Unflip nearby/current vehicle
11	Headbug fix via temporary vehicle move
12	RscDisplay_Parameters
13	RscMenu_Help
16	Toggle full RUBHUD
17/18	Dormant/orphaned GPS zoom handlers; GUI_Menu.sqf still handles them in Chernarus and maintained Vanilla, but audited WF_Menu controls expose actions 1-13, 16 and 19 only.
19	Branch-sensitive: docs checkout/Miksuu/perf toggle the FPS-only HUD; stable origin/master cf2a6d6a and release a96fdda2 reuse this visible slot as the GPS enabler.

Range booleans such as barracksInRange, gearInRange, commandInRange and serviceInRange are maintained by Client/FSM/updateavailableactions.fsm, not by the main menu itself.

Mini UI scout note 2026-06-04 plus branch recheck 2026-06-14: no live buy/gear/service/tactical/vote/unit-camera control was found with an outright missing handler. The important main-menu mismatch is narrower: MenuAction == 17/18 remains in the router for GPS zoom in docs checkout, stable, release, Miksuu and perf maintained roots, but fixed-string action searches found no MenuAction = 17 or MenuAction = 18 emitter. MenuAction = 19 is visible everywhere checked, but its meaning is branch-sensitive: FPS HUD in docs/Miksuu/perf and GPS enablement on stable/release.

Major Controller Flows

Buy Units

GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:

• Selects nearest active factory/depot/hangar context (:48, :214-237).
• Refreshes unit lists through UIChangeComboBuyUnits and UIFillListBuyUnits (:197-198).
• Enforces AI capacity based on WFBE_C_PLAYERS_AI_MAX, barracks upgrade level and commander bonus (:117-124).
• Sends the final purchase to BuildUnit (:155), which later handles spawn details and salvage FSM entry.
• Displays ambulance and supply-truck hints for important support vehicles (:443-449).

Command Menu Interaction Model

The command menu is easy to misread from source because much of its workflow is icon-driven:

Interaction	Source evidence	Developer note
Three icon tabs/modes	Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:2100-2123; GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:111-170	The tab buttons are icons while the title text is the main visible mode cue. Docs and future UI work should name the three modes and keep icon/title state in sync.
Multi-select teams plus "All" behavior	Dialogs.hpp:1913-1923; GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:115-118,277-307,397-404	Actions can target a selected subset or all teams depending on the All row/selection state. Smoke both selected-subset and all-teams paths after command-menu edits.
Two-step map orders	Dialogs.hpp:1846-1888,2047-2059; GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:262-313,315-345	The player arms an order mode with a button, then clicks the map to place move/patrol/defend/task targets, with marker-color feedback. Do not document task/order buttons as immediate actions.

Buy Gear

For the full source-backed data/runtime/generator map, see Gear, loadout and EASA atlas.

GUI_BuyGearMenu.sqf uses WFBE_MenuAction, not MenuAction, and works across three views:

• gear: player/AI equipment.
• backpack: OA backpack content where available.
• vehicle: cargo inventory.

The helper functions compiled in Init_Client.sqf:116-126 own list filling, template parsing, sanitizing, inventory display, price calculation and target selection. Profile template saving is compiled only when the OA version gate passes (Init_Client.sqf:169-172).

Commander And Tactical Menus

GUI_Menu_Command.sqf owns team selection, AI team templates, behavior/combat/formation/speed combos, move/task controls and respawn factory choice. Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, current B69 origin/claude/b69@8d465fce, adjacent B74 origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend@b23f557f and live origin/feat/naval-hvt-objectives@2e1c59317186 carry the targeted Objective Ping path in both maintained roots: the menu gathers task data and HQ speech context at GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:315-344, then sends SetTask to the selected leader or side leaders at :336,344 and registers the client handler at Init_PublicVariables.sqf:40. Repo docs branch HEAD@c5937045f, Miksuu b8389e748243, origin/perf/quick-wins@0076040f and historical c20ce153 still keep those sends commented at GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:335,337,343 while registering SetTask at :33; historical a96fdda2 has live sends with :36 registration but no live release/* head. The old town TaskSystem remains disabled/residue and separate from Objective Ping; current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74/naval-HVT remove Client_TaskSystem.sqf while docs/Miksuu/perf/c20 keep it.

Vote menu cleanup edge: WFBE_Client_Teams_Count is initialized as count WFBE_Client_Teams (Init_Client.sqf:403 on current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, then refreshed from reconciled side teams at :534; current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04 line-drifts source Chernarus to :409,:540 while maintained Vanilla stays :403,:534), but GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:58-66 and GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:29,61-66 use it as an inclusive for ... to maximum. Existing isNil guards make this mostly a refresh-loop polish bug rather than a proven crash, but vote UI changes should switch to (WFBE_Client_Teams_Count - 1) or forEach.

Vote behavior changes should start from Commander vote/reassignment. That page owns the DR-47 server/UI outcome mismatch, the no-commander/tie decision matrix and the smoke cases that must accompany any GUI_VoteMenu.sqf preview change.

Vote row coloring has a second small indexing edge. In GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:74-83, the loop variable already tracks the list row while scanning lnbSize, but the color write uses [_i+1,0]. If touching vote refresh, audit both the backing team-array loop and this row-color mapping together.

Commander reassignment has a separate selector fragility. GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:33-46 reads the selected row text, then finds the target team by comparing name leader _x. Because the row already stores the team index with lnbSetValue, future fixes should use the stored value instead of visible names so duplicate names or mid-dialog name changes cannot select the wrong commander. Keep this UI fix aligned with Commander reassignment call shape and Commander vote/reassignment.

Help dialog lifecycle edge: RscMenu_Help stores the display as uiNamespace["dialog_HelpPanel"] on load, but unload clears uiNamespace["cti_dialog_ui_onlinehelpmenu"] and calls GUI_Menu_Help.sqf with onUnload (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3446-3447 on docs head 322ef95e; current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 use :3172-3173; historical a96fdda2 uses :3108-3109). The controller only implements onLoad and onHelpLBSelChanged (GUI_Menu_Help.sqf:5-10). This looks like stale namespace wiring, so avoid building new help-panel state on the old unload variable without cleaning it.

Main-menu orphan route: docs/source HEAD@72007de93f00 keeps the 322ef95e / 087152f5 / 68bd4dc5 line shape and still handles MenuAction == 17/18 for GPS zoom at GUI_Menu.sqf:202,206, while the audited WF_Menu resource block exposes actions 1-13, 16 and 19 only (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1226 emits MenuAction = 19). Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, current B69 8d465fce and adjacent B74 b23f557f keep handler-only zoom routes at GUI_Menu.sqf:270,274 but reuse the visible MenuAction = 19 control as GPS enablement (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1244,1252; GUI_Menu.sqf:241). Current stable/B74.1/B69/B74 refresh WFBE_Client_Teams_Count from reconciled side teams at Init_Client.sqf:534; current B74.2 line-drifts source Chernarus to :540, but it remains count, not a maximum index. Miksuu b8389e74 and perf 0076040f keep the docs-checkout FPS-HUD meaning for visible action 19; historical a96fdda2 matches the stable GPS action shape with Chernarus/Vanilla line drift. Treat the old zoom router cases as dead UX baggage unless a hidden/branch control is deliberately reintroduced and smoke-tested.

Vote, Help And Main-Menu Branch Matrix

This route owns the small UI correctness cluster around vote refresh/list coloring, help-panel lifecycle state and the main-menu GPS zoom router. The WASP marker input-lock wait is adjacent UX debt, but its branch matrix stays on WASP marker wait cleanup.

Root / branch	Vote refresh and row color	Help menu lifecycle	Main-menu 17/18/19 route	Status
Docs/source HEAD@72007de93f00	Both maintained roots are unchanged from 322ef95e, 087152f5 and 68bd4dc5 for checked vote/help/router paths: WFBE_Client_Teams_Count = count WFBE_Client_Teams at Init_Client.sqf:273; GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:29,49,61 and GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:58 loop through that inclusive value; row coloring still writes [_i+1,0] at GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:80,82.	Both maintained roots set dialog_HelpPanel and clear cti_dialog_ui_onlinehelpmenu at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3446-3447; GUI_Menu_Help.sqf:6,10 handles load and selection, not unload.	Both roots keep handler-only MenuAction == 17/18 zoom at GUI_Menu.sqf:202,206; visible MenuAction = 19 is CA_FPSHUD_Button at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1219-1227 and toggles RUBFPSHUD at GUI_Menu.sqf:197.	Patch-ready UI cleanup; checked docs-source paths are unchanged from the prior matrix.
Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, current B69 8d465fce and adjacent B74 b23f557f	Both maintained roots keep the same inclusive vote-loop and row-color shape. Current stable/B74.1/B69/B74 use Init_Client.sqf:403 plus a reconciled team refresh at :534; current B74.2 line-drifts source Chernarus only to :409,:540 while maintained Vanilla stays :403,:534; GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:29,49,61,80,82 and GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:58 are unchanged.	Both maintained roots set dialog_HelpPanel and clear cti_dialog_ui_onlinehelpmenu at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3172-3173; GUI_Menu_Help.sqf:6,10 still has no onUnload case.	Both maintained roots keep MenuAction == 17/18 handlers at GUI_Menu.sqf:270,274; visible MenuAction = 19 is CA_GPS_Button at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1244-1252 and GPS enablement at GUI_Menu.sqf:241. d472da6a..21b62b04 and origin/master..origin/claude/b74.2-aicom touch source-Chernarus Init_Client.sqf only among checked paths; the delta is vehicle-tint guard, join/connect ACK failover and intro-music hook, not vote/help/router logic. B69..B74 checked paths are empty.	Current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 change the visible action-19 meaning versus docs/Miksuu/perf, but do not rescue vote loops, row color, help unload or old zoom-router cleanup. Live origin/claude/trello-vote-para-guards@92101abe is server vote/paratrooper/Tactical context and has no checked vote/help/main-menu-router path delta.
B74.5 origin/claude/b745@b996bcb3	Source Chernarus GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:10-35,75-99,119-125 adds primitive name rows from WFBE_JIP_ROSTER_PRIMS when live wfbe_teams group objects are not usable; primitive rows use value -1, skip live prune/update loops, then rebuild from live team indexes once player-led groups arrive. GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:10-32,69-91 mirrors the same display fallback for commander-side reassignment.	No checked help-menu lifecycle delta over B74.2.	No checked main-menu 17/18/19 router delta over B74.2.	Branch-only Chernarus late-JIP display fallback. It does not close the older stable vote-loop/row-color cleanup, help unload mismatch or GPS router debt, and it must not be described as current stable or Vanilla behavior.
Miksuu b8389e74 and origin/perf/quick-wins 0076040f	Same inclusive vote-loop and row-color shape in both maintained roots; Miksuu uses Init_Client.sqf:284, perf uses :285.	Same help namespace mismatch at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3502-3503.	Same handler-only 17/18 route as docs checkout; visible MenuAction = 19 remains CA_FPSHUD_Button / FPS HUD at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1220-1227 in both maintained roots.	No upstream/perf rescue for this UI cluster.
Historical release commit a96fdda2	Same vote shapes in both maintained roots at Init_Client.sqf:288, GUI_VoteMenu.sqf:29,49,61 and GUI_Commander_VoteMenu.sqf:58.	Same mismatch in both maintained roots at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3108-3109.	The historical release commit exposes CA_GPS_Button / MenuAction = 19 at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:1231-1240, but the old 17/18 handlers remain at GUI_Menu.sqf:243,247 in Chernarus and :235,239 in Vanilla.	Historical release matches stable GPS visibility but does not rescue vote/help or old zoom-router cleanup; current origin exposes no live release/* head in the checked branch scan.

Patch order:

1. Fix vote loops with count - 1 or forEach, and correct the row-color target so highlighted rows match the candidate rows.
2. Use one help-display namespace key and either implement a real onUnload branch or remove the stale controller call.
3. Decide whether GPS zoom should be visible again. If not, remove or comment the dead 17/18 router cases; if yes, add controls deliberately and smoke HUD/GPS state.
4. Propagate maintained Vanilla and smoke vote refresh/list coloring, help open/close and main-menu HUD/FPS/GPS behavior together.

GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf is the support hub. It builds the support list from fast travel, ICBM, paratroopers, ammo/vehicle paradrops, UAV actions and unit camera (:56-64). Availability is recomputed from current upgrades, funds, cooldowns and selected support (:144-290), then requests are sent through RequestSpecial where needed (:373 and later request branches).

Upgrade And Economy Menus

GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf reads side upgrade arrays, costs, descriptions, images, labels, levels, links and times from missionNamespace (:9-18). Commander-only purchase sends RequestUpgrade (:158-161) and starts local progress feedback for pure clients (:168-174).

GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf handles commander income percentage, structure selling and supply-truck respawn. The respawn supply-truck action sends ["RequestSpecial", ["RespawnST", sideJoined]] (:90-96), which ties this UI directly to the partially broken AI/supply-truck feature described in Feature status register.

Current-B74 Economy-control refresh 2026-06-23: docs/source HEAD@21f0d53b is unchanged from d2a3f995 / b5219d47 for checked Economy controller/resource paths and still writes disabled-state controls 23004, 23005 and 23006 from GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:7-8 in both maintained roots while RscMenu_Economy declares 23002, 23003 and 23008 without 23020 at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3327,3339,3346. Current stable origin/master@0139a346, current B69 origin/claude/b69@8d465fce, adjacent B74 origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend@b23f557f and historical a96fdda2 remove those stale writes in both maintained roots, read the dashboard with DisplayCtrl 23020 at GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:25 and declare 23020 in Rsc/Dialogs.hpp (:3070 on stable/B69/B74, :3006 on historical release). Current Miksuu b8389e748243 and perf 0076040f remain old-shape. B74 changes only Chernarus dashboard label text versus stable among checked paths, not the control-map repair.

Spark UI scout 2026-06-04 control/action map:

Menu	Control/action	Runtime effect
Main menu	MenuAction == 7	Opens WFBE_UpgradeMenu (GUI_Menu.sqf:161-166).
Main menu	MenuAction == 8	Opens RscMenu_Economy (GUI_Menu.sqf:168-173).
WFBE_UpgradeMenu	idc 504001	Upgrade list selection/double-click drives WFBE_MenuAction = 1 or 2 (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:75-86; GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf:73-83,129-161).
WFBE_UpgradeMenu	idc 504007	Purchase button sets WFBE_MenuAction = 1; the controller validates locally and sends RequestUpgrade (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:122-131; GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf:129-161).
WFBE_UpgradeMenu	WFBE_MenuAction == 1000	Returns to WF_Menu (GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf:206-210).
RscMenu_Economy	idc 23010, 23011, 23012	Income slider, percent label and Set Income button; MenuAction == 3 applies the split (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3360-3380; GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:74-81).

RscMenu_Economy	idc 23016	Respawn supply-truck control; MenuAction == 4 sends RequestSpecial ["RespawnST", sideJoined] (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:3407-3415; GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:91-97).

Localization note: Economy labels are mostly STR_* backed, but the live WFBE_UpgradeMenu resource still hardcodes "Upgrade Menu :" and "Upgrade" in Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:36,129-130. The Buy Units and Tactical controllers also still carry live hardcoded English player-facing help/status text: vehicle help hints in GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf:443-457 and artillery ammo request status in GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:604-605. Treat these as UI consistency/localization debt, not gameplay bugs.

EASA

EASA opens from GUI_Menu_Service.sqf and uses generated arrays from Client/Module/EASA/EASA_Init.sqf. In docs/source, current Miksuu and perf its dialog shares idd=23000 with Economy; current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 and historical release split EASA to idd = 24000. Detailed runtime is documented in Gear, loadout and EASA atlas, with duplicate-IDD patch detail in UI IDD collision repair.

Respawn Menu

Respawn flow starts in Client/Functions/Client_OnKilled.sqf:156 with createDialog "WFBE_RespawnMenu". The canonical source-backed flow, spawn-source table, MASH split, AI respawn path and custom-gear penalty edge now live in Respawn and death lifecycle atlas.

RHUD And FPS HUD

There is no standalone Client/RHUD directory in the current checkout. RHUD is the combination of Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf, the OptionsAvailable title resource and the main-menu toggles.

Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf is the optimized HUD loop:

• Starts hidden by default: RUBHUD = false, RUBFPSHUD = false (:3-7).
• Uses OptionsAvailable as the shared display and repairs it if missing (:87-95).
• Caches controls, last texts, last colors and last visibility state (:22-56).
• Has three modes: hidden, FPS-only and full RHUD (:205-239).
• Refreshes expensive town/economy aggregates every 3 seconds instead of every loop (:338-350).
• Records local performance audit samples under client_rhud (:366-370).

Full RHUD displays health, uptime, commander, AI count, money, income, side supply, supply income/minimum, towns held and client/server FPS. FPS-only mode repositions four controls into a small upper-right overlay.

Wave P clarified the server-FPS contract: player UI reads SERVER_FPS_GUI from Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:113, populated by Server/GUI/serverFpsGUI.sqf:6-7. The second dedicated publisher Server/Module/serverFPS/monitorServerFPS.sqf:4-6 publishes WFBE_VAR_SERVER_FPS, but no current source Chernarus player-UI reader was found. Treat that as a compatibility/redundancy channel until generated and modded consumers are deliberately retired.

Map And Marker UI

Map UI is split across one-shot initialization, long-running refresh loops and event handlers:

Script	Role	Performance posture
Client/Init/Init_Markers.sqf	Creates local town/camp markers. Re-run after JIP delay.	One-shot plus JIP refresh.
Client/FSM/updatetownmarkers.sqf	Updates town marker text/status while map is visible.	Sleeps longer when map is closed; records updatetownmarkers.
Client/FSM/updateteamsmarkers.sqf	Tracks team/player/AI markers, AFK suffix and alpha/color changes.	Skips most work when no map/GPS/Warfare dialog consumer is visible; records updateteamsmarkers.
Client/FSM/updateavailableactions.fsm	Computes range booleans and writes action availability icons.	Tracks nearEntities count and records updateavailableactions.
Client/Functions/Client_BookkeepBlinkingIcons.sqf	Optional combat marker blinking bookkeeping.	Fully gated by WFBE_C_MAP_ICON_BLINKING_ENABLED.
WASP/global_marking_monitor.sqf	Adds a display-12 map double-click handler that prefixes marker text with the player's name.	Polls for the marker dialog/display before attaching mouseButtonDblClick; current source disables all user input, then runs an unslept wait for up to two seconds before re-enabling input (:57-73). Add a tiny backoff and fail-safe unlock before expansion.

Branch intel 2026-06-23: origin/claude/upstream-blinking-mapicons@6e31f7fd5 is a branch-only mounted-player blink candidate, not current stable behavior. Its merge-base with current stable is be2bbd084, which is an ancestor of origin/master@f8a76de34; direct diffs against current stable also include unrelated B74.1 Init_CommonConstants.sqf:914-920 player-stats drift. The payload versus be2bbd084 is only Client_BookkeepBlinkingIcons.sqf in source Chernarus and maintained Vanilla (+32, git diff --check clean): current stable pushes only active vehicles into BLINKING_VEHICLES_* at Client_BookkeepBlinkingIcons.sqf:82-94, while the branch also pushes a mounted player gunner/commander into BLINKING_UNITS_* at :96-110 so the soldier marker blinks beside the active vehicle marker. Smoke with WFBE_C_MAP_ICON_BLINKING_ENABLED = 1, mounted gunner and commander seats, map/GPS open and closed, dismount, death/null cleanup and both maintained roots before promotion.

Action Menus And Scroll Actions

The scroll-action surface is part UI, part gameplay:

• Client_AddWFMenuAction.sqf stores/removes the WF menu action ID on the current player object so respawn does not leave stale actions.
• updateactions.fsm attaches the blue STR_WF_Options action to the player's current vehicle and removes it from the previous vehicle.
• Client_AddPlayerAIActions.sqf attaches AI diagnose/recover actions and removes stale IDs first.
• Client_PreRespawnHandler.sqf reapplies WF menu and player AI actions after respawn, then also runs WASP OnKilled/RPG-drop hooks.
• WASP/baserep/viem.sqf attaches a commander-only base-repair action near damaged base structures and removes it when conditions change.

UI Assets

Client/Images contains 45 .paa files plus fps_hud.jpg. Resource users include:

• Gear tabs: gearicontemplate, geariconall, geariconprimary, geariconsecondary, geariconsidearm, geariconmisc.
• Buy-unit controls: factory/category images and crew toggles (i_driver, i_gunner, i_commander, i_extra, i_lock). See Factory and purchase systems atlas for the full buy/spawn flow.
• Action availability icons: icon_wf_building_* and icon_wf_support_*.
• Upgrade category icons: wf_b, wf_lvf, wf_hvf, wf_air, wf_par, wf_uav, wf_sup, wf_*.
• Help branding: Textures/logo1.paa.

The intro video is Videos/intro720p.ogv, started from Init_Client.sqf:785.

Known UI Risks And Partial Work

Route	Local evidence kept here	Canonical owner / action
Resource, IDD and image cleanup	EASA/Economy IDD overlap, stale RscMenu_Upgrade, shared title IDDs, Economy missing-control writes and RscClickableText.soundPush[] all start in Rsc/*.hpp.	UI resource parity cleanup, UI IDD collision repair, and this page's clickable-text matrix.
Title display ownership	OptionsAvailable and EndOfGameStats both use the currentCutDisplay helper path, while RHUD/action recovery can recreate OptionsAvailable.	Keep orientation in HUD Display Ownership; patch details belong in UI IDD collision repair.
Controller cadence and marker loops	Modal .01 / .05 loops, RHUD/action loops and marker loops are indexed above with representative anchors.	Use Client modal loop cadence, Indicator Surface Matrix and Performance opportunity sweep; collect RPT/audit evidence before cadence edits.
Vote, help and main-menu router cleanup	Vote inclusive loops, help unload namespace mismatch and old GPS zoom handlers are branch-checked in the matrix above.	Keep small UI patch scope here and route commander outcome semantics through Commander vote/reassignment.
Objective Ping versus old town tasks	Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, B69/B74 and origin/feat/naval-hvt-objectives send SetTask at GUI_Menu_Command.sqf:336,344; docs/source HEAD@c5937045f, Miksuu, perf and historical c20ce153 still comment those sends at :335,:337,:343; historical a96fdda2 has live sends but no live release/* head.	Treat Objective Ping as source-present / smoke-pending only on the current stable-shaped branches. Keep old town-task revival separate and JIP/task-spam gated.
Buy Units UI and authority	RscMenu_BuyUnits drives local GUI_Menu_BuyUnits.sqf / Client_BuildUnit.sqf; no RequestBuyUnit PVF exists.	Factory and purchase systems atlas owns price/key, queue, refund and authority detail.
Gear, cargo, EASA and service partials	Gear target/content TODOs, profile _u_upgrade, vehicle cargo loop bounds, service/EASA affordability and UI-originated spend all sit outside the generic UI stack.	Gear/loadout/EASA atlas, Gear template profile filter, Vehicle cargo equip loop bounds, and Service menu affordability guards.
Tactical fast travel	Fee mode hides unaffordable towns, draws marker-price text and debits locally on travel click; current stable has already dropped the old completed TODO comment.	Keep branch status in Tactical Fast-Travel Fee Branch Matrix; do not mix with RequestSpecial authority hardening.
Support and special indicators	Paratrooper, MASH, UAV, artillery, ICBM and AARadar marker anchors are listed in the indicator matrix.	Support specials and tactical modules atlas, Abandoned feature revival, and Networking and public variables own feature-specific PV/JIP behavior.
WASP marker wait/input lock	WASP/global_marking_monitor.sqf:57-73 still disables input and polls display 54 without a sleep/backoff before final unlock.	WASP marker wait cleanup owns the tiny patch and smoke route.

Tactical Fast-Travel Fee Branch Matrix

Fast travel is a local Tactical menu flow, not a RequestSpecial server asset path. The menu reads WFBE_C_GAMEPLAY_FAST_TRAVEL and fast-travel range constants at GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:22-23; current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 equals origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34, defaults to 1 free travel and uses 2 for fee mode at source Chernarus Common/Init/Init_CommonConstants.sqf:612,621-624 and maintained Vanilla :414,423-426. In fee mode, the destination refresh calculates _fee from distance and WFBE_C_GAMEPLAY_FAST_TRAVEL_PRICE_KM, hides towns the player cannot afford, draws marker-text price labels, and later debits locally when the player clicks the travel destination (GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:185,195-196,215,403-404 in both maintained roots). Current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04 has no checked Tactical GUI delta and only line-drifts source Chernarus constants to Init_CommonConstants.sqf:625,634-637; checked d472da6a..21b62b04 is empty for the four maintained-root fast-travel paths. The old //--- TODO: Travel fee... comment is absent on current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74 but still present in docs/source HEAD@003d0c4c044e, current Miksuu, perf and historical release refs, so treat it as stale policy/UX cleanup evidence in those targets rather than proof that fast travel is absent.

Root / branch	Fee-mode destination list	Debit / prompt shape	Status
Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34	Both maintained roots hide unaffordable town destinations and draw marker text with $fee (GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:185,195-196,215).	Both maintained roots recalculate and locally call ChangePlayerFunds at :403-404; no confirmation prompt or second affordability recheck is present. The old completed TODO is absent.	Docs-ready owner-decision cleanup; do not reopen stale TODO removal on current stable/B74.1.
Current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04	No checked Tactical GUI delta versus current stable/B74.1; source Chernarus constants drift to Init_CommonConstants.sqf:625,634-637 while maintained Vanilla stays current-stable shaped. Checked d472da6a..21b62b04 is empty for the four maintained-root fast-travel paths.	Same local debit shape at GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:403-404; origin/master..origin/claude/b74.2-aicom only touches source Chernarus Init_CommonConstants.sqf among checked fast-travel paths.	Branch-visible line drift only for this lane; no fast-travel UX rescue.
B69 origin/claude/b69@8d465fce and B74 origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend@b23f557f	Same paid-mode Tactical behavior as current stable, with source Chernarus constants at B69 Init_CommonConstants.sqf:580,589-592 and B74 :593,602-605.	Same local debit shape at GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:403-404; checked B69..B74 fast-travel path delta only touches source Chernarus constants.	Adjacent B74-era refs are source-present for the same UX debt, not fixes.
Docs/source HEAD@003d0c4c044e, current Miksuu b8389e748243, perf 0076040f and historical release a96fdda2	Same maintained-root behavior with branch line drift; docs/source is unchanged from 1154f5d43 for the checked fast-travel path set and keeps constants at Init_CommonConstants.sqf:218,227-230, while historical release constants sit at :231,240-243. Docs/source, Miksuu, perf and release keep the old TODO at GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:147.	Same local debit shape at GUI_Menu_Tactical.sqf:404-405; adjacent support debits drift between refs, but they are not the fast-travel debit.	No checked old-shape ref rescues the fee-mode UX/policy debt; current origin exposes no live release/* or fast-travel feature heads on 2026-06-24.

Practical patch rule: keep this separate from RequestSpecial authority hardening. First decide the user-facing policy: hide unaffordable destinations as today, show them disabled with a reason, or allow selection but block with a hint. If fee mode stays paid, add a final local funds/context recheck immediately before the debit and consider a confirmation prompt for long-distance travel. Smoke WFBE_C_GAMEPLAY_FAST_TRAVEL modes 0/1/2, insufficient/exact/sufficient funds, HQ/town/command-center start points, non-friendly towns, maximum range, vehicle/group teleport, death during travel and maintained Vanilla parity.

Clickable Text SoundPush Branch Matrix

RscClickableText is a base UI resource class. B74.2 current-head follow-up 2026-06-24: docs/source HEAD@14d74f9d2 is unchanged from 1d4282eca8fd / 0bb0f89f / b5219d47 for checked resource/dialog/title paths and still carries the malformed base value. Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, current B69 origin/claude/b69@8d465fce, adjacent B74 origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend@b23f557f and the live GUER branch hits define class RscClickableText at Rsc/Ressources.hpp:541 and the valid empty-sound soundPush[] = {"", 0.2, 1}; at :556 in both maintained roots, matching the older valid precedent at :92. Chernarus received the stable fix in 1a5e0b40; maintained Vanilla received the propagated generated-file fix in 9b49883c. Checked d472da6a..21b62b04, origin/master..origin/claude/b74.2-aicom and B69..B74 resource/dialog/title deltas are empty; GUER branch hits touch Dialogs.hpp / Titles.hpp only and retain the valid base value. The blast radius remains branch-sensitive because docs/source, current Miksuu, perf, historical release and UI theme checkpoints carry the malformed base value, and Rsc/Dialogs.hpp derives 14 controls from the base class in current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74/GUER branch hits while old-shape checked branches derive 17 controls.

Root / branch	RscClickableText.soundPush[]	Derived clickable controls	Status
Docs/source HEAD@14d74f9d2 Chernarus + maintained Vanilla	Rsc/Ressources.hpp:556 keeps {, 0.2, 1} in both maintained roots; :92 shows valid {"", 0.2, 1} precedent. Checked Rsc/Ressources.hpp / Rsc/Dialogs.hpp / Rsc/Titles.hpp paths are unchanged from 1d4282eca8fd, 0bb0f89f, b5219d47 and the earlier a71b42fe / f7bc72a8 matrix snapshots.	17 : RscClickableText controls in each Rsc/Dialogs.hpp root, including gear slots, WF menu toggles, construction/CoIn, artillery and economy controls.	Patch-ready, docs/source-unpatched; propagate Vanilla with any source edit.
Current stable/B74.1 origin/master@f8a76de34 / origin/claude/b74.1-aicom@f8a76de34, current B74.2 origin/claude/b74.2-aicom@21b62b04, current B69 8d465fce, adjacent B74 b23f557f and GUER branch hits c8ef67d8 / 0f53f34d Chernarus + maintained Vanilla	Fixed/source-present in both maintained roots: Rsc/Ressources.hpp:556 keeps {"", 0.2, 1}. The old malformed value is absent from the checked maintained roots; checked 0139a3468609..origin/master, origin/master..origin/claude/b74.2-aicom, d472da6a..origin/claude/b74.2-aicom and origin/claude/b69..origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend resource/dialog/title deltas are empty. GUER branch hits only change adjacent Dialogs.hpp / Titles.hpp surfaces among checked files and retain the valid base value.	14 derived controls in each maintained root at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:670,710,742,817,868,1194,1204,1214,1587,1642,2186,2448,2828,3133.	Current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74/GUER branch hits no longer need the base config patch; keep propagation/recheck work branch-scoped and run representative Arma 2 OA dialog smoke before release-validated wording.
Current Miksuu master (b8389e748243)	Same malformed base-class value in both maintained roots.	17 derived controls in both maintained roots, with line drift from docs/source.	Direct git ls-remote rechecked this as the current Miksuu head; no upstream rescue.
origin/perf/quick-wins (0076040f)	Same malformed base-class value in both maintained roots.	17 derived controls in both maintained roots.	Old-shape branch and not a rescue for the base config.
Historical release a96fdda2; no live release/* head exposed on 2026-06-24	Same malformed base-class value in both maintained roots.	14 derived controls in each maintained release root at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:657,697,729,804,855,1181,1191,1201,1537,1592,2122,2384,2764,3069.	Historical release evidence does not rescue the base config.
UI theme branches origin/feat/wf-menu-ops-console (0767c0b5) and origin/feat/wf-menu-ux-phase1 (87d86257)	Same malformed base-class value in both maintained roots.	17 derived controls in both maintained roots.	Theme branches still need config smoke before promotion.

Practical patch rule: for current stable/B74.1/B74.2/B69/B74/GUER branch hits, do not reopen the base-class edit; it is already source-present in Chernarus and maintained Vanilla. For older branches that still carry {, 0.2, 1}, change only the base-class array to the valid local empty-sound precedent {"", 0.2, 1} unless a code owner wants a real click sound, then propagate maintained Vanilla deliberately. In all cases, run an Arma 2 OA dialog smoke that opens representative inheritors from gear, WF menu/HUD toggles, construction/CoIn, artillery and economy; treat modded mission copies as unsupported until their broader conflict/generation blockers are resolved.

JIP And Headless-Client Verdict

The UI layer is reviewed for JIP/headless scope as of 2026-06-02. It is ordinary-client and hosted-client code; headless clients do not run the UI init path.

Client-bound PVF runtime notes are now centralized in Networking and public variables. Use that matrix before reviving SetTask, paratrooper markers, MASH marker replay, attack-wave JIP display, endgame routing or money-changing localized messages.

Question	Source-backed verdict
Does a dedicated headless client run UI scripts?	No. initJIPCompatible.sqf:70-76 and :224-234 run client init only for hosted server or non-headless non-dedicated clients; :237-238 sends detected headless clients to Headless/Init/Init_HC.sqf instead.
Does a late-joining client wait for usable side/team state before UI init?	Mostly yes, but without timeouts. initJIPCompatible.sqf:224-233 waits for WFBE_PRESENTSIDES and each side's wfbe_teams before launching Init_Client.sqf; Init_Client.sqf:165, :360, :367-369, :384, :394-397, :463-467, :490, :595, :757 and :787 then wait on common/town/client logic state. This inherits the broader boot/JIP wait-chain caveat in Lifecycle wait-chain: a never-synced variable can hang the client UI path.
Are local UI/title displays resilient after JIP or display loss?	Partly. Init_Client.sqf:147-150 keeps the legacy RscOverlay alive, :161-162 clears stale title display refs, Rsc/Titles.hpp:170-171 tracks OptionsAvailable in uiNamespace["currentCutDisplay"], and Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf:87-95 recreates OptionsAvailable if the stored display is null. Caveat: EndOfGameStats also uses the same currentCutDisplay key (Titles.hpp:539-540), so endgame stat rendering should be smoke-tested with RHUD/action icons enabled before claiming title-display resilience.
Are markers and vote UI rehydrated for late joiners?	Partly. Init_Client.sqf:730-734 re-runs Client/Init/Init_Markers.sqf after a short JIP delay, updateclient.sqf:41-99 re-evaluates west/east HQ wreck marker state, and Init_Client.sqf:787-789 opens WFBE_VoteMenu if the side logic says a vote is already running. Public-variable marker styling still needs the marker-specific smoke cases from Marker cleanup/restoration.
Do respawns restore the UI/action surface?	Yes for the audited local action surface. Client_OnKilled.sqf:49-52 closes active dialogs, :60-87 waits for the new player object and rebinds the killed EH, then calls PreRespawnHandler at :87-89. Client_PreRespawnHandler.sqf:1-38 reapplies skill effects, restarts updateactions.fsm, re-adds the WF menu/player AI actions and restores commander build action when applicable.
Is "HC" wording ambiguous in this code?	Yes. updateclient.sqf:203-205 and :227-228 call hcAllGroups / HCRemoveAllGroups, which are player high-command UI/group controls. They are not evidence that the Arma 2 OA headless-client process is running UI code.

Verdict: mark the UI/HUD/menus JIP/HC coverage cell as reviewed with caveats. No dedicated headless-client UI execution was found. Late-join support exists through client-role gating, marker replay, HQ marker repair and vote/menu recovery, but the UI path depends on multiple unbounded synchronized-variable waits and several event-style publicVariable handlers that require feature-specific smoke rather than a blanket "JIP clean" claim.

Safe Extension Points

• For a new modal workflow, add a distinct class in Rsc/Dialogs.hpp, a controller under Client/GUI, and a main-menu or action entry. Use a unique IDD.
• For status HUD data, extend OptionsAvailable controls and update Client/Client_UpdateRHUD.sqf with cached text/color/show writes.
• For range/action indicators, extend _icons and _usable together in updateavailableactions.fsm, then verify the matching OptionsIcon exists in Rsc/Titles.hpp.
• For map marker behavior, prefer local markers and preserve map-closed sleep/backoff logic.
• For respawn UI, keep marker selection and actual respawn execution separated: marker loop in Client_UI_Respawn_Selector.sqf, action in GUI_RespawnMenu.sqf, post-respawn state in Client_OnRespawnHandler.sqf.
• For WASP UI additions, check WASP overlay first because some old action chains are commented or missing.
