Subject: [PATCH 05/49] Remove floating window UI from missile widget

Remove floatingCommand dependency and associated UI code (initialize, update,
assign functions) since missiles are now managed through the command menu tab.
Keep core functionality (command registration, blast radius drawing).

Subject: [PATCH 06/49] Add safety checks to prevent crashes after missile
 launch

Add null checks throughout the widget to handle invalid units gracefully:
- Check for valid positions before accessing unit data
- Verify unit definitions and weapon definitions exist
- Handle dead units and parent silos safely
- Return early on nil values to prevent cascading failures

Fixes crash that occurs after missile launches.

Subject: [PATCH 09/49] Add missile build progress display to command buttons

Add getMaxBuildProgress() to track the highest build progress among all
building missiles. Display format: 'x[count] ([percent]%)' or just '[percent]%'
if no missiles are ready. Shows progress of the next missile being built.

Subject: [PATCH 14/49] Add tab badge support with missile unit icon and count

Extend integral menu to support tab badges showing unit icon and missile count.
Add badgeUnitName and badgeCountWG configuration fields to command panels.
Missile widget exports total count via WG.missileTotalCount.
Badge displays on Missiles tab showing tacnuke icon with ready missile count.

Subject: [PATCH 15/49] Implement all 5 widget improvements

1. Dynamic tab visibility: Missiles tab now hides when no missiles are available
2. Weapon tooltips: Added detailed descriptions for each missile type
3. Keybindings: Added grid hotkeys support for quick missile selection
4. Disable buttons when count is 0: Buttons grey out when no missiles available
5. Per-type counts: EOS shares tacnuke and subtacmissile counts (already working)

Subject: [PATCH 16/49] Fix #4: Centralize missile command IDs to prevent
 duplication

Define missileCmdIDs table and isMissileCommand() helper at top of
integral_menu_config.lua. Replace hardcoded ID lists in both Missiles
panel inclusionFunction and Orders panel exclusion with helper calls.

Fixes maintenance issue where IDs could get out of sync between panels.

Subject: [PATCH 17/49] Fix remaining 7 code review issues

1-3. Add null checks for type and weaponDef before accessing in perferedUnit
4. Fix Spring.GetUnitCommands parameter - use fixed 100 instead of variable stockpile
5. Add null check for unit position before using in distance calculation
6. Add null check for tabButton.button before calling SetVisibility
7. Initialize WG.missileTotalCount in widget:Initialize to fix badge when disabled

All fixes are defensive nil/validation checks to prevent crashes.

Subject: [PATCH 19/49] Improve missile configuration with metadata dictionary

Convert missileCmdIDs to dictionary with id, name, and icon fields.
Use loop to generate commandDisplayConfig from dictionary instead of
hardcoding each ID. Use missile/launcher unit icons instead of generic
attack icon. Consolidates missile metadata in one place.

Subject: [PATCH 20/49] Refactor missile config: rename missileCmdIDs to
 missileCmds and embed tooltips

Move tooltip data from separate missileTooltips dictionary into each missile entry
in the missileCmds metadata dictionary. This removes the tooltip upvalue and makes
the configuration more self-contained.

Subject: [PATCH 21/49] Fix missile widget: crashes, tab layout, tooltips,
 count/progress bar

- Fix Chili Integral Menu crash: remove SetVisibility call on unparented
  tab button; tab presence is handled by the commandCount/SetTabs machinery.
- Guard nil ud.shieldPower in Chili Selections & CursorTip.
- Make the missile widget self-contained: inline the blast-radius draw code
  (the VFS include file was never committed) and enable it by default.
- Show missile commands: drop hidden flag, add action/params so they appear
  in the new Missiles tab with tooltips.
- Order buttons like the missile silo (row 1: Trinity, Reef; row 2: silo
  missiles in buildoptions order) via per-command col/row positions.
- Show count label ("xN") via DRAW_NAME_COMMANDS driven by the config's
  drawName flag.
- Show a factory-style build progress bar via a new
  WG.IntegralMenu.SetCommandProgress API (added to externalFunctions so it
  survives the Initialize assignment); source progress from unit build
  progress or stockpile build percent as appropriate.

Subject: [PATCH 22/49] Fix stockpile build progress source for missile buttons

Zero-K reimplements stockpiling in unit_stockpile.lua, which pins the
engine's stockpile build percent to 1 and tracks real progress in the
"gadgetStockpile" rules param. Read that param for stockpiling weapons
(Trinity, Reef, subtac) instead of GetUnitStockpile, matching how
unit_healthbars / gui_build_eta / gui_nukeButton do it.

Subject: [PATCH 23/49] Keep missiles tab visible and usable with no selection

- Missile widget forces a layout rebuild once when the selection becomes
  empty, since the command menu pipeline does not run on its own then.
- Integral menu falls back to the first shown tab when the intended tab
  (default "orders") is not present, so the missiles panel gets selected.
- Add alwaysShowTab panel flag (set on missiles) to draw the tab bar even
  when it is the only tab.
- Guard both return-to-orders paths with IsTabPresent so firing a missile
  with nothing selected no longer switches to an empty orders tab and
  clears the panel.

Subject: [PATCH 24/49] Add second tab row for the missiles tab

- Split the integral menu tab strip into a top and bottom row. The missiles
  tab (flagged topRow) sits on the top row; all other tabs on the bottom.
- When there are no bottom-row tabs, the missiles tab drops into the single
  bottom row so it stays adjacent to the command buttons.
- Grow the window upward by one tab row when both rows are used, keeping the
  window bottom pinned to the screen edge and the command-button area fixed
  (bottom-anchored with a constant height).

Subject: [PATCH 25/49] Fix missile launch order and command descriptor

- Insert launches after existing launch orders but before other queued
  orders (e.g. moves), so shift-clicked launches fire in click order and
  still go before the unit moves away. Previously they inserted at queue
  position 0, reversing the click order.
- Give the launch command descriptor all required fields (name, texture,
  tooltip, boolean disabled) so the engine no longer logs
  "GetLuaCmdDescList() bad entry".

Subject: [PATCH 26/49] Missiles tab badge: per-type icons with count and build
 progress

- Replace the single tacnuke icon + total count badge with a right-aligned
  row of per-type entries, one for each missile type that is stockpiled or
  building. Each entry shows the unit icon, a build-progress bar overlay,
  and the stockpile count. Icons are created with their file to avoid
  rendering as white quads.
- Export per-type {icon, count, progress} from the missile widget in a
  stable order instead of a single total.
- When a unit is (re)selected while on the missiles tab, switch to that
  unit's default tab instead of loitering on the global top-row tab.

Subject: [PATCH 27/49] Remove misleading (N) hotkey label from tabs without
 their own hotkey

Tabs without an optionName (missiles, orders, units_factory) borrowed the
Units any+n hotkey for display, showing "(N)" even though N is the hold-fire
key and never switches to them. Drop the display fallback so they show no
hotkey label.

Subject: [PATCH 28/49] Missile launch preview: relocate blast ring to terrain
 that blocks the shot

Adds an approximate pre-fire terrain-block check for starburst silo missiles.
The descent is modelled as a straight line from an apex above the launcher to
the target; if terrain rises into that line the blast ring is moved to the hit
point, with a faint ghost ring left at the intended target. Apex height is
learned per weapon from real shots, falling back to a range-based estimate.

Checkpoint before a more accurate trajectory model.

Subject: [PATCH 29/49] Missile block preview: learn crest distance for a truer
 dive angle

The descent line previously started directly above the launcher, making it too
shallow and prone to over-warning. Learn both the crest height and its
horizontal distance from the launcher from real shots, and start the dive line
from that crest point so its angle matches the missile's actual trajectory.

Subject: [PATCH 30/49] Missile widget cleanups: fix names, dedupe stockpile,
 rename tab to Launch

- Rename file and class missle -> missile; fix perfered -> preferred
- Retitle widget "Missile Command Center" and update its description
- Drop a dead else-end branch
- Factor the five identical silo-missile getStockpile closures into one
  shared siloMissileStockpile helper
- Rename the integral-menu tab label from "Missiles" to "Launch"

Subject: [PATCH 31/49] Missile launch preview: share Attack AoE's exact impact
 simulation

The launch preview approximated the starburst trajectory, so it could disagree
with the Attack AoE widget's terrain-impact marker shown when the missile is
selected and attacked directly.

Expose gui_attack_aoe's vlaunch impact calculation as WG.AttackAoE.GetVlaunchImpact
(extracting a shared BuildVlaunch helper, behavior-preserving) and have the launch
preview call it, matching the fire-origin convention. Removes the widget's whole
approximation and apex-calibration code (~110 lines); the two previews now share
one code path.

Subject: [PATCH 32/49] Missile menu: drop second tab row (topRow) for the
 Launch tab

Per GoogleFrog's review, the always-visible second tab row was the main UI
objection. Removing the topRow flag collapses the Launch tab into the normal
single tab row instead of growing the menu taller. First step toward the
hidden-tab-opened-by-a-launch-button approach.

Subject: [PATCH 33/49] Integral menu: add hidden-tab reveal API
 (OpenTab/CloseHiddenTab)

Adds the mechanism for a tab that stays out of the tab strip until explicitly
opened, so the missiles Launch tab can be revealed by a core-selector launch
button instead of standing permanently in the strip.

- A panel flagged hiddenTab is skipped in the tab-collection loop unless its
  name matches revealHiddenTab.
- WG.IntegralMenu.OpenTab(name)/CloseHiddenTab()/IsHiddenTabOpen() drive it.
- Opening forces the tab strip visible and selects the tab; selecting any other
  tab clears the open state (SwitchToTab), matching "clicking any tab closes it".
- If the revealed tab is no longer available (e.g. all missile units lost) the
  open state is cleared so it cannot get stuck.

Purely additive: no panel sets hiddenTab yet, so behaviour is unchanged until
the missiles tab is flipped to hidden in a later step. Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 34/49] Core selector: silo button opens the missiles Launch
 tab

Selecting a missile silo via its core-selector button now also calls
WG.IntegralMenu.OpenTab("missiles"), so the launch commands come up
immediately instead of only selecting the unit. Scoped to staticmissilesilo
via a small def set that is easy to extend to other launcher structures.

Works whether the Launch tab is a standing tab (current) or a hidden tab
(later step): OpenTab selects it in the first case and reveals it in the second.
Needs in-game testing, particularly the selection/reveal timing.

Subject: [PATCH 35/49] Core selector: show missile count on the silo button

The missile silo button now shows the stockpiled missile count as a bottom
label, sourced from WG.missileActiveIcons (the same data as the Launch tab
badge). Build progress is already shown by the existing factory logic (the
silo's current missile construction).

Count is currently aggregate across all active missile types; scope to the
silo's own missiles if that reads better in-game. Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 36/49] Core selector: single launch button with a 2-column
 missile grid

Replaces the earlier per-silo approach with one aggregate launch button:

- missile_command_center: export each active missile's launch command id in
  WG.missileActiveIcons, plus WG.MissileCommandCenter.SetActiveLaunch(cmdID) to
  arm a launch command by id.
- gui_chili_core_selector: a single "launch" button (modelled on the aggregate
  "cons" button) that shows every stockpiled/building missile type in a
  2-column grid, each cell showing its own icon + count + build progress and
  arming that missile's launch command on click. The button appears while
  missiles exist and removes itself when there are none. GetNewButton now
  exposes its control so the grid can be parented onto it.

First cut, needs in-game testing. Known gap: the button keeps the standard
button size, so cells shrink as more missile types appear; growing the button
past two rows still needs button-layout (UpdatePosition) integration.

Subject: [PATCH 37/49] Core selector: launch button opens the launcher menu on
 click

The per-cell clickable grid made each missile too small to hit. Instead the
whole launch button now opens the launcher option menu (the integral-menu
Launch tab, via WG.IntegralMenu.OpenTab), where the launch buttons are shown at
full size. The 2-column grid on the button stays as a display-only preview
(icon + count + build progress); cells are plain images parented to the button
so clicking anywhere opens the menu.

Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 38/49] Missile launch tab: make it a hidden tab, remove dead
 per-cell code

- integral_menu_config: the Launch tab is now hiddenTab instead of alwaysShowTab,
  so it no longer stands in the tab strip (even when a unit is selected). It only
  appears when opened via the core-selector launch button (OpenTab).
- integral menu: clear the revealed hidden tab on a selection change, so opening
  the launch menu and then selecting a unit returns to the unit's normal tabs
  instead of sticking on the missiles tab.
- missile_command_center: remove the now-unused SetActiveLaunch export and the
  cmd field on missileActiveIcons (the launch button opens the menu rather than
  launching per cell).

Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 39/49] Core selector: grow the launch button by half a button
 per grid row

Implements variable-height growth for the launch button (option 2: real sizes
rather than whole slots). Since the launch button is the last button, its growth
only needs to (a) report a larger long-axis extent and (b) enlarge the
background panel; no other button's offset is affected.

- GetNewButton takes an optional getLongSize for its own extent; the offset of
  following buttons still uses the normal button size.
- The launch button reports max(buttonSizeLong, ceil(n/2) * buttonSizeLong/2):
  two rows fit a normal button, each further row adds half a button length.
- The background panel adds launchButtonExtraLong; a relayout runs when the row
  count changes (and resets to 0 when the button is removed).

Needs in-game testing, especially the panel not overflowing the screen with many
missile types, and horizontal-mode behaviour (there the button grows along its
long axis, i.e. wider).

Subject: [PATCH 41/49] Integral menu: keep the Launch tab button hidden, drop
 the dead second tab row

The missiles Launch tab now never appears in the tab strip, even while it is
the selected/open tab: SetTabs skips laying out a hiddenTab's button but still
DoClicks it, so its command grid shows with no tab button. The hiddenTab flag
is propagated onto the tab button for this.

Also removes the now-dead second-tab-row (topRow) machinery. No panel sets
topRow anymore (it was dropped from the Launch tab), so topHolder, the two-row
SetRowGeometry branch and its window-grow-by-one-row logic, the hasBottom scan,
and the topRow references were all unreachable. Collapsed to a single tab
holder and removed the unused baseWindowHeight.

Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 42/49] Core selector: fix launch grid cell sizing and resize
 timing

Cell layout: a single missile now fills the whole button (1x1 over the full
2x2 space); two or more use the 2-column grid with a 2x2 minimum so a single
row keeps its half-button cell size instead of stretching to the full button
height.

Resize timing: when the row count changes, UpdateButton now resizes the button
and background panel inline (button.UpdatePosition + mainBackground.UpdateSize)
before laying out the cells, instead of deferring to the post-UpdateButtons
wantLaunchRelayout pass a frame later. Because Chili does not realize the
control's width/height synchronously, the cells now use the computed long-axis
size (desiredLong) rather than the still-stale buttonControl field, so the
button growth and grid placement happen in the same frame with no lag.
wantLaunchRelayout is now only used for the shrink when the button is removed.

Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 43/49] Core selector: fix launch count label z-order/jitter
 and scale it with the cell

- The count label is now a child of the cell image (not a sibling under the
  button), so it always draws on top of the icon and progress bar. A small
  right/bottom inset with autosize off keeps the digits inside the cell.
- Split cell layout from per-frame value updates: positions/icons are set only
  when the missile set or grid size changes (a new layoutKey), while the count
  text and progress bar update in place every frame. Previously the whole grid
  was repositioned on every progress tick, which re-laid the label and made the
  count jitter vertically as a missile built.
- Scale the count font with the cell width: base size fits a standard 2-column
  cell, so the single-missile cell (which fills the whole button) gets a
  proportionally larger number.

Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 44/49] Launch button: appear promptly when a missile starts
 building

Previously the launch button could lag up to ~0.5s behind a missile starting
to build, because two independent 0.25s polls had to line up: the missile
command center recomputing WG.missileActiveIcons, and the core selector reading
it.

- missile_command_center: refresh on the frame a relevant unit is created,
  finished or destroyed (via UnitCreated/UnitFinished/UnitDestroyed filtered to
  our team and the launchable/silo-missile unit defs), instead of waiting out
  the poll interval. A silo missile builds as a nanoframe of a launchable def,
  so UnitCreated fires the instant it starts.
- core selector: check for adding the launch button every frame rather than
  only inside the throttled block, and populate it at once so it is not shown
  empty.

Needs in-game testing.

Subject: [PATCH 45/49] Missile launcher: launch hotkey, open-state highlight,
 capacity-safe build

- Add a rebindable "Open missile launcher" hotkey (default Alt+L) registered
  like the factory-selection hotkeys; the launch button shows it in a corner
  only when a single cell leaves room, otherwise in the tooltip.
- The launch button toggles the launcher and highlights orange (background and
  focus colour) while it is open, matching the integral menu's selected command.
- Cap building at silo capacity: only build at a silo whose finished missiles
  plus queue are below capacity, and never queue past it, so a full silo no
  longer produces stuck, unusable missiles.

Subject: [PATCH 48/49] Missile launcher: register commands, keep selection
 after firing

- Register the launch command ids (MISSILE_ZENITH..MISSILE_ZENO, 39610-39618) in
  the shared registry (customcmds.lua); missile_config.lua now reads them from
  Spring.Utilities.CMD, so the ids are reserved rather than raw numbers in ZK's range.
- Re-apply the active command's button selection after the integral menu rebuilds
  its buttons, so an armed launch stays highlighted through firing/building.
- Keep the launcher open after firing (drop returnOnClick on the missiles panel) and
  highlight the core-selector launch button while launch mode is active (armed command
  or tab open) via WG.IsLaunchActive.
- Default-select Eos when the launcher is opened with a silo but no ready missiles.
- Drop the descriptor "hidden" field (skip registering hidden controllers instead).

Subject: [PATCH 49/49] Missile launcher: deselect on tab close, launch-button
 polish

- Deselect any armed launch command when the launcher tab closes (switching tabs,
  selecting a unit, right-click, toggling the button), so launch mode no longer
  lingers on the cursor after the launcher is dismissed. Highlight tracks the tab.
- Launch button: inset the silo placeholder to match factory buttons' construction
  border; a single missile's count now matches the idle-con count (size, position,
  shadow); the highlight is re-applied after any resize so it is not lost on a count
  change.
