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.

Current docs/source note: 2026-06-23 stale-upgrade refresh rechecked docs checkout docs/developer-wiki-index 0fdd5602; the checked Chernarus and maintained Vanilla Rsc/Dialogs.hpp, live GUI_Menu.sqf / GUI_UpgradeMenu.sqf, and missing GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf paths are unchanged from d4cfef80 and the earlier b5219d47 / 2fef1e3d resource-parity snapshots. Other matrix rows still preserve their named 2026-06-14 branch snapshot unless a row says otherwise.

Current Parity Matrix

Item	Docs checkout Chernarus	Maintained Vanilla Takistan	Current stable / branch-fixed refs	Miksuu b8389e74 / perf 0076040f	Historical release / older proof	Development meaning
Stale RscMenu_Upgrade	Docs HEAD@0fdd5602 remains source-unchanged from d4cfef80 for checked upgrade dialog/controller paths. 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, missing controller and icon block.	Current stable origin/master@0139a346, current B69 origin/claude/b69@8d465fce and adjacent B74 origin/claude/b74-aicom-spend@b23f557f have no checked maintained-root RscMenu_Upgrade / GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf hits; only live WFBE_UpgradeMenu remains at Rsc/Dialogs.hpp:4-7.	Same stale class in Chernarus and Vanilla (Dialogs.hpp:2435, :2438).	Historical a96fdda2 and upgrade-queue b061c905 also remove the old class in both maintained roots.	Treat the old class as stale on docs/Miksuu/perf-style targets. Preserve or port the stable/B69/B74/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: docs/source 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). Current stable/B69/B74 keep the same live dialog/controller route in both maintained roots.
• Old upgrade path: no Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Upgrade.sqf exists in any checked maintained root. Docs/source keeps the stale RscMenu_Upgrade class in both maintained roots, current Miksuu b8389e748243 and perf 0076040f keep it at line-drifted Dialogs.hpp:2435,:2438, while current stable 0139a346, B69 8d465fce, B74 b23f557f, historical a96fdda2 and b061c905 have no checked maintained-root stale-class hits. 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, 23020, 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 old-shape source Chernarus and maintained Vanilla targets; current stable/B69/B74 and historical release/upgrade-queue refs already provide deletion comparisons.
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.
