## Summary
Migrates the Old Guild System (pre-AOS guild stones) gumps from the legacy `Gump` class to `DynamicGump`, following the same pattern used for the Quest gump migration in #2416. All concrete gumps now have private constructors gated by static `DisplayTo` entry points (empty-gump rule), and `Singleton => true` is set across the board so reopening a sibling dialog automatically closes the previous one.
**Migrated gumps:**
- `GuildGump` - main guild dialog
- `GuildmasterGump` - guildmaster functions
- `GuildCharterGump` - charter and website display
- `GuildWarGump` - warfare status (kept as player-facing)
- `GuildWarAdminGump` - war menu (retained as player-facing - reachable from `GuildmasterGump`'s WAR button by guildmasters)
- `GuildChangeTypeGump` - Standard/Order/Chaos selection
**Abstract bases:** `GuildListGump` and `GuildMobileListGump` keep their shared list-rendering chrome inside a single concrete `BuildLayout` on the abstract class and expose a `protected abstract void BuildHeader(ref DynamicGumpBuilder builder)` hook for subclasses (replacing the old `Design()` override). This mirrors the abstract-base treatment used for the ML quest base in the quest-gump migration PR.
**Concrete subclasses migrated alongside the abstract bases:**
- `GuildListGump` subclasses: `GuildAcceptWarGump`, `GuildDeclarePeaceGump`, `GuildDeclareWarGump`, `GuildRejectWarGump`, `GuildRescindDeclarationGump`
- `GuildMobileListGump` subclasses: `DeclareFealtyGump`, `GrantGuildTitleGump`, `GuildAdminCandidatesGump`, `GuildCandidatesGump`, `GuildDismissGump`, `GuildRosterGump`
**Cliloc rule:** Every gump bakes per-instance dynamic content (guild names, member names, war declarations, candidate lists), which would defeat `StaticGump<T>` caching. Per the cliloc rule, all are `DynamicGump`.
**External callers updated:** the prompt files (`GuildAbbrvPrompt`, `GuildCharterPrompt`, `GuildDeclareWarPrompt`, `GuildNamePrompt`, `GuildTitlePrompt`, `GuildWebsitePrompt`), `RecruitTarget`, the `Guildstone` item, and the New Guild System `GuildInfoGump`'s Order/Chaos handler all now go through static `DisplayTo` entry points instead of `new XGump(...)`.
## Summary
- Adds proper Latin1 encoding support, replacing CP1252 usage throughout the codebase
- Adds specialized, optimized string decoding methods with safe string filtering for each encoding type
- Filters invalid Unicode characters (C0/C1 control codes, non-characters) by removal rather than replacement since
the UO client renders nothing for these characters
- Fixes UTF-16 null terminator position handling to correctly advance by 2 bytes
## Changes
TextEncoding.cs
- Added SearchValues-based invalid byte/char detection for efficient filtering
- Added encoding-specific GetString methods: GetStringAscii, GetStringLatin1, GetStringUtf8, GetStringBigUni,
GetStringLittleUni
- Each method supports a safeString parameter for filtering invalid characters
- Little-endian UTF-16 uses direct memory cast for zero-copy decoding on LE systems
- Invalid characters are removed (not replaced with U+FFFD) since the client renders nothing for them
SpanReader.cs
- Added ReadLatin1() and ReadLatin1Safe() methods
- Rewrote encoding-specific read methods to use optimized TextEncoding.GetString* methods
- Fixed UTF-16 null terminator handling: position now correctly advances by byteLength (2) instead of 1
SpanWriter.cs
- Added WriteLatin1 and WriteLatin1Null methods
## Packet Updates
- Updated all packet code to use Latin1 encoding instead of CP1252
- Affected: account packets, equipment packets, menu packets, message packets, mobile packets, player packets, secure
trade packets, vendor packets, gump packets, book packets, mahjong packets
## Filtering Behavior
Invalid characters filtered in safe mode:
```
┌───────────────┬────────────────────────┐
│ Range │ Description │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────┤
│ 0x00-0x1F │ C0 control codes │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────┤
│ 0x7F │ DEL │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────┤
│ 0x80-0x9F │ C1 control codes │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────┤
│ 0xFFFE-0xFFFF │ Unicode non-characters │
└───────────────┴────────────────────────┘
```
Note: Surrogate pairs (0xD800-0xDFFF) are not filtered because proper validation requires context checking for paired
vs unpaired surrogates. The UO client renders nothing for these anyway.
## Test Plan
- All 631 Server.Tests pass
- Verified client rendering behavior using TestUnicodeGump command (pages 1-5)
- Confirmed U+FFFD, unpaired surrogates, and non-characters all render as blank in client
- Verified Latin1 characters (0xA0-0xFF) display correctly
- Verified C1 control codes (0x80-0x9F) are filtered and don't display
* Introduces `RawInterpolatedStringHandler` which is exactly the same as `DefaultInterpolatedStringHandler` except it _unsafely exposes_ it's `ReadOnlySpan<char>` buffer. This is useful for writing the string's data without actually building the string.
* Uses this new string interpolation handler in `SpanWriter` to eliminate intermediate strings built. This is immensely useful in eliminating string allocations in writing Gump packets.
- [X] Adds `AdhocPersistence` which replaces RunUO `Persistence`
- [X] Fixes a few minor bugs with EntityPersistence deserialization
- [X] Reverts/updates some serialization changes
- [X] Adds `ToSpan()` for SpanWriter.
- [X] Moves house files to UOContent/Multis/Houses
- [X] Adds house packets
### SpanWriter.ToSpan()
`ToSpan()` returns an `SpanOwner` struct which allows access to the buffer as a Span by calling `Span`.
Example:
```cs
public SpanOwner CreatePacket()
{
var writer = new SpanWriter(0x400);
// write some stuff
return writer.ToSpan();
}
```
In this example, we are creating a packet and returning the `SpanOwner` for caching. This means in the future we can do something like this:
```cs
ns.Send(_cachedPacket.Span);
```
Where `_cachedPacket` is the `SpanOwner`
Notes:
Do not use a SpanWriter, or attempt to dispose of it after calling `ToSpan()`. Doing so will probably cause an NPE.
- [X] Fixes an issue with OPL packets using the wrong endianness and not updating the position properly.
- [X] Fixes an issue with SpanWriter not updating bytes written when it is used adhoc.
- [X] Moves packet creation for OPL inside the SendInfoTo function.
Bumps release version
SpanWriter now has an argument that allows it to be resizable.
```cs
public SpanWriter(Span<byte> initialBuffer, bool resize = false)
public SpanWriter(int initialCapacity, bool resize = false)
```
If a SpanWriter is set to be resizable, or given an initial capacity instead of a buffer, it must be disposed:
```cs
public static void SomeMethod()
{
using var writer = new SpanWriter(stackalloc byte[512], true);
// stuff
// Automatic Dispose of writer
}
```
This is because the SpanWriter uses `ArrayPool<byte>.Shared` _rented buffers_ to resize. If the writer is not disposed, those buffers will never be reused resulting in a _memory leak_.
It is possible that the SpanWriter will outright ditch the initial buffer if resize is set to true and growing is needed. To check/account for that we can do the following:
```cs
public static void SomeMethod()
{
Span<byte> span = stackalloc byte[512];
using var writer = new SpanWriter(span, true);
// write some stuff that causes the span to grow
span = writer.RawBuffer;
// Do stuff with the span
}
```
Make sure you don't accidentally `Dispose()` the writer or use the `RawBuffer` outside of the `using` block. If you do, bad things will happen! (NullPointerException, or a fresh SpanWriter with no buffer, depending on the situation).
SpanWriter can also now be used with a fixed statement since it has a `PinnableReference()` function.
