UI Resource Parity Cleanup

UI Resource Parity Cleanup

Status: docs-ready UI cleanup lane. No gameplay source changed by this page.

Use this page when deciding whether the current UI/Rsc issues are broken live features, safe cleanup, or branch-only fixes. It consolidates the stale upgrade dialog, Economy IDC drift, and duplicate IDD findings so future work does not re-audit them separately.

Canonical owner pages:

• Runtime map: Client UI systems atlas
• Duplicate IDD repair details: UI IDD collision repair
• Risk register: Feature status register
• Stale-code evidence: Dead code and stale code register

Current docs/source note: as of docs checkout docs/developer-wiki-index b5219d47, the checked Chernarus and maintained Vanilla Rsc / UI-controller paths below are unchanged from the earlier 2fef1e3d resource-parity snapshot. The line refs in this page keep that older snapshot as provenance while the current docs head is the visible branch checkpoint.

Current Parity Matrix

Item	Docs checkout b5219d47 Chernarus	Maintained Vanilla Takistan	Stable origin/master cf2a6d6a	Miksuu b8389e74 / perf 0076040f	Release a96fdda2	Development meaning
Stale RscMenu_Upgrade	Present at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:2425; onLoad points to missing Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf at :2428; old wf_*.paa icons are referenced at :2634-2821.	Same stale class and missing controller.	Removed in both maintained roots; no RscMenu_Upgrade / GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf hits in checked Rsc/Dialogs.hpp.	Same stale class in Chernarus and Vanilla (Dialogs.hpp:2435, :2438).	Removed in both maintained roots.	Treat the old class as stale. Preserve or port the stable/release deletion, or add an explicit compatibility alias, then smoke live WFBE_UpgradeMenu.
Economy stale control writes	GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:7-8 writes 23004, 23005, 23006, but RscMenu_Economy declares 23002, 23003, 23008-23016 (Dialogs.hpp:3327-3408).	Same stale writes and declared-control shape.	Rewritten away from the stale writes in both maintained roots; uses display controls 23002 and 23020 (GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:4,25).	Same stale writes in both maintained roots (GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:7-8).	Same stable shape in both maintained roots (GUI_Menu_Economy.sqf:4,25).	Port/compare the stable/release shape or remove/update stale writes consistently across target roots. Smoke Economy disabled state, income controls, sell mode and supply-truck respawn.
EASA/Economy duplicate dialog IDD	RscMenu_EASA and RscMenu_Economy both use idd = 23000 (Dialogs.hpp:3209-3211, :3287-3289).	Same duplicate.	Distinct in both maintained roots: EASA idd = 24000 (Dialogs.hpp:2887-2889), Economy 23000 (:2965-2967).	Same duplicate in both maintained roots (Dialogs.hpp:3265-3267, :3343-3345).	Distinct in both maintained roots: EASA idd = 24000 (Dialogs.hpp:2862-2864), Economy 23000 (:2940-2942).	Port or preserve the stable/release dialog IDD split for target branches still duplicating 23000. No checked maintained root has a findDisplay 23000 caller, but future dialog work should not rely on duplicated display IDs.
RscOverlay/OptionsAvailable duplicate title IDD	Both use 10200 (Rsc/Titles.hpp:44-46, :164-165).	Same duplicate.	Same duplicate with line drift (Rsc/Titles.hpp:44-46, :168-169).	Same duplicate.	Same duplicate with stable line drift.	Keep separate from EASA/Economy. Fix only with RHUD/action-icons/endgame display-handle smoke because title ownership also shares uiNamespace["currentCutDisplay"].

Source Evidence

• Live upgrade path: WFBE_UpgradeMenu loads Client/GUI/GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf (Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:4-7), and the main menu opens it with createDialog "WFBE_UpgradeMenu" (Client/GUI/GUI_Menu.sqf:165).
• Old upgrade path: no Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf exists in current Chernarus or maintained Vanilla, and no Client/Images/wf_*.paa files exist under current Chernarus Client/Images.
• Economy declared controls: current RscMenu_Economy declares 23002, 23003, 23008, 23009, 23010, 23011, 23012, 23013, 23014, 23015, 23016, not 23004-23006.
• Display lookup caveat: the 2026-06-14 maintained-root search found no findDisplay 23000 or findDisplay 10200 caller in docs checkout b5219d47 (unchanged from 2fef1e3d for these paths), stable cf2a6d6a, Miksuu b8389e74, perf 0076040f or release a96fdda2, so duplicate IDD cleanup is maintenance/future-proofing rather than a proven live lookup bug.

Recommended Patch Order

1. Remove or explicitly alias stale RscMenu_Upgrade across source Chernarus and maintained Vanilla; stable/release already provide a deletion comparison.
2. Normalize Economy controller/control-map parity across source Chernarus and maintained Vanilla, using stable/release as comparison evidence.
3. Give EASA and Economy distinct dialog IDDs across both maintained roots, or record a deliberate waiver; stable/release already use the split in both maintained roots.
4. Handle title IDD/display ownership as a separate patch: RscOverlay, OptionsAvailable, RHUD/action icons and EndOfGameStats must be smoked together.

Do not combine this lane with Economy authority, EASA balance generation, upgrade-request authority, or commander-economy redesign. Those are behavior/security lanes; this one is UI resource parity and smoke.

Validation

Source checks:

• No stale RscMenu_Upgrade class remains, or it is explicitly an alias to the live WFBE_UpgradeMenu.
• Economy controller writes only declared controls.
• EASA/Economy have distinct dialog idd values, or the waiver is documented.
• No new hard-coded findDisplay 23000 / findDisplay 10200 assumptions are introduced.

Arma smoke:

• Live upgrade menu opens, lists upgrades, and sends RequestUpgrade as before.
• Economy opens as commander and non-commander; disabled state, income slider, sell mode and supply-truck respawn controls behave as expected.
• EASA opens from service menu and applies/returns correctly.
• RHUD/FPS HUD, action icons and endgame stat bars still display without title-handle flicker.
