 VotingPlugin Control is an optional management plane. Voting, routing, rewards, joins, and shutdown do not depend on it;
 connectors use outbound requests and capability negotiation so either repository can be upgraded independently.
 
+## Experimental voting menu
+
+An opt-in native holographic vote menu is available through `/av testhologram` on Minecraft 1.19.4+.
+See [configuration, testing instructions, and interaction limits](docs/experimental-hologram-vote-gui.md).
+The normal `/vote` inventory GUI is unchanged.

 ## Optional Control feature set
 
 - Authenticated outbound discovery/configuration connectors for Bukkit, BungeeCord, and Velocity nodes.

+# Experimental holographic vote menu
+
+This opt-in prototype adds `/av testhologram`. It does not replace `/vote`, execute rewards, record votes, or require
+VotingPlugin Control or an external hologram plugin. The command requires `VotingPlugin.Admin` or
+`VotingPlugin.Commands.AdminVote.TestHologram` (op by default), and must be executed by a player.
+
+## Try it
+
+On Spigot/Paper 1.19.4+ or a supported Folia server, set this in `Config.yml`, then run `/av reload`:
+
+```yaml
+Experimental:
+  HologramVoteGUI:
+    Enabled: true
+    Distance: 2.5
+    TimeoutSeconds: 60
+    SitesPerPage: 5
+```
+
+Look horizontally into an open area and execute `/av testhologram`. A stationary menu faces your opening direction.
+Aim your crosshair at an entry and **right-click** it. VotingPlugin sends a clickable chat link containing that site's
+configured HTTP/HTTPS VoteURL. Click the chat link and use Minecraft's normal URL confirmation. The server cannot
+force your browser to open. Missing/invalid URLs produce a message instead of a link.
+
+The menu includes enabled, non-hidden sites that you have permission to view, in VotingPlugin's existing order.
+It displays a snapshot of your cooldowns from VotingPlugin's existing user APIs. Reopen to refresh the snapshot;
+clicking an entry during cooldown only offers its URL and never bypasses vote processing. Previous/Next navigate
+pages; Close removes the menu. Empty lists still have a Close button.
+
+Distance accepts 1.5–3 blocks, timeout 1–60 seconds, and page size 1–5. Invalid values refuse to open. Defaults are
+2.5/60/5 and the feature is **disabled**. There are at most 64 simultaneous menus and 64 outstanding data reads;
+at most 200 visible enabled sites are included. Only the owner receives the entities, and another player's clicks
+are rejected even if an entity ID is guessed.
+
+## Lifecycle and compatibility
+
+Reopening replaces your previous menu. Menus close on quit, world change, moving more than eight blocks from the
+anchor, expiration, VotingPlugin reload, and plugin disable. Monitoring runs once per second. Entities are non-persistent
+and never saved into chunks. Folia player work uses the entity scheduler; stationary entity spawning/removal uses the
+anchor region. An opening that crosses an unowned region is refused. During final Folia server shutdown, region ticks may
+already have stopped; non-persistent entities are discarded with world teardown rather than saved as orphaned menus.
+
+Data reads run on the existing persistence worker, not the world thread. Late reads and queued callbacks are fenced
+against replacement, close, expiration, and shutdown. Native display classes are isolated behind an API probe so older
+servers can load VotingPlugin and receive an unsupported-feature message when testing this command.
+
+## Interaction limits and assessment
+
+The inspiration is [Hologram GUI (Mouse Menus)](https://youtu.be/ehlYco0E73w). This implementation uses native
+TextDisplay/Interaction entities and ordinary Minecraft entity clicks. It does **not** implement a free mouse cursor,
+true cursor hover, or continuous mouse tracking. Interaction hitboxes are axis-aligned and aiming matters; looking
+steeply up/down or opening inside blocks can reduce usability. Unicode symbol appearance depends on the client's font.
+
+Keep this experimental until visual gameplay, accessibility, different viewing angles, resource packs, and supported
+server versions have broader coverage. The existing inventory GUI remains the normal player interface.
+
+## Experimental style isolation
+
+The experimental manager has its own player/session IDs, inventory holder and entity registry.
+It never identifies an inventory by its title. Shift-click, hotbar swaps, drags and other transfers
+are blocked only while the exact experimental inventory is open; unrelated menus and entities
+are ignored. Opening another experimental style retires the previous session and invalidates
+its pending snapshots and selections. A production inventory stays open until an administrator
+explicitly requests an experimental inventory screen or clicks the experimental NPC.
+
+`Experimental.VoteGUIs.Enabled` is false by default. Each style has an independent `Enabled`
+setting under that section. The earlier explicit `Experimental.HologramVoteGUI.Enabled: true`
+continues to enable only the hologram; `Experimental.VoteGUIs.Hologram.Enabled: false` overrides
+that legacy opt-in. Other styles require the new global switch. Invalid legacy hologram-specific
+settings do not prevent an independently enabled inventory style from opening.
+
+The animated inventory uses configured visible voting sites, five sites per page by default,
+read-only cooldown snapshots and optional available-item glints where the native API supports
+them. Refresh and navigation never grant votes or rewards. The streak track reads the existing
+streak definitions, stored counters and award state; displayed rewards are previews with no
+claim action. Arbitrary reward conditions and external actions are not predicted or executed.
+
+The NPC style uses a temporary native villager rather than a fake player or Citizens NPC.
+Clicking it opens the dedicated experimental site inventory. It is stationary, nonpersistent,
+invulnerable and nontrading; only its owner can activate it. Servers must expose the safe spawn,
+AI and persistence APIs. Where private visibility APIs are absent, other players may see the
+villager but cannot use it. No player skin customization is provided.
+
+Snapshots run on the existing user-data worker, while inventory/player work uses the player
+scheduler and stationary NPC work uses its fixed region. Entity counts and status use tracked
+identities, never world scans. `/av testgui cleanup` retires temporary experimental sessions
+and retries bounded pending NPC cleanup; it does not touch gameplay entities. A region scheduler
+rejection retains the cleanup record and its capacity slot rather than admitting unbounded
+replacement entities. Nonpersistent entities are discarded when their world unloads.
+
+## Radial and native dialog prototypes
+
+`/av testradialgui` places up to five configured site icons in a stationary circle, with previous,
+next and close targets. Aim the crosshair and right-click an entry. `Radial.Radius` accepts
+0.9–1.8 blocks (default 1.25). This is native entity targeting, not free mouse hover or tracking.
+The renderer refuses an unloaded or unowned footprint instead of loading chunks or accessing
+another Folia region. A full radial page has at most 23 entities: five icon/text/hitbox groups,
+one central text/hitbox and three text/hitbox controls. Exact session generations fence stale
+clicks and replacement cleanup; failed cleanup retains its bounded capacity slot for retry.
+
+`/av testdialoggui` uses native dialog buttons. Voting-site buttons contain validated HTTP/HTTPS
+URL actions handled by the client. Previous, next and close buttons use private experimental
+callbacks, with owner and session checks and player-scheduler dispatch. The prototype never
+uses the production dialog service's callback registrations or global cleanup. Invalid URLs
+are reported instead of becoming executable commands. Closing a dialog or clicking a link
+is not proof of a received vote, and never grants rewards.
+
+Minecraft added dialogs in 1.21.6; Paper's developer API starts at 1.21.7
+([official dialog documentation](https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/dialogs/)). Recent Spigot also
+exposes native dialog APIs ([Player API](https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html)).
+Support is determined by the exact host classes and methods, not the version string. Unsupported
+servers receive an explicit error; the command never falls back to a different GUI. Paper/Folia
+and graphical client layout still require runtime acceptance testing; mocked API tests do not
+establish gameplay verification.
+
+
+## Reward showcase and temporary physical terminal
+
+`/av testshowcasegui` creates a stationary floating reward preview with its configured item
+(or a safe chest fallback), stored streak progress, award-recorded status and total votes.
+Previous/next controls browse existing enabled streak definitions; the voting-sites control
+cycles site pages. Preview interaction never claims, grants or repeats a reward. Arbitrary
+reward conditions and external reward commands are not evaluated. The preview model turns
+15 degrees once per second on its owning region; site icons remain stationary. A full page
+has at most 26 entities (six item/text/hitbox groups and four text/hitbox controls).
+
+`/av testterminalgui` or `/av testterminalgui create` creates a temporary private floating
+board fixed to the opening location. It changes no blocks. Aim and right-click a listed style
+to open that style, subject to its current switch, capability and permission. Disabled or
+unsupported selections report their reason and leave the terminal intact. Opening a supported
+style replaces the terminal session and removes its board. Its unique ID is the session UUID.
+`/av testterminalgui list`, `inspect` and `remove` address only the invoking administrator's
+current temporary terminal, never another player's terminal or another GUI type. Inspection
+reports the stored world/coordinates and lifecycle without loading chunks or scanning worlds.
+The board has 18 text/interaction entities and expires like other temporary sessions.
+
+Persistent terminals are not implemented in this prototype. `AllowPersistentTerminals: false`
+remains the default; changing that reserved option does not make temporary test terminals
+persistent. There is no persistence/create-persistent command, world reconstruction or block
+replacement. A durable public station needs a separate reviewed lifecycle before enabling it.
+
+### Native dialog cleanup limitation
+
+The supported Paper/Spigot APIs can show a dialog and unconditionally clear the player's
+current dialog, but cannot inspect its identity. A deferred clear could dismiss a production
+dialog opened afterward. Experimental retirement therefore unregisters only its own callbacks
+and releases its session; it never calls an unconditional native clear. Close buttons and
+Escape dismiss the native screen through the client. On timeout/reload/disable, an old native
+screen may remain visible until dismissed or replaced, while its custom callbacks are inert.
+Existing validated URL buttons remain ordinary client links, never reward actions. This is a
+platform limitation, not a claim of full automatic screen dismissal. No packet/NMS interception
+or global production-dialog hook is used.
+
+### Command and capability matrix
+
+| Style | Dedicated command | Required capability |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Hologram | `/av testhologram` | Native TextDisplay/Interaction APIs, 1.19.4+ |
+| Animated inventory | `/av testinventorygui` | Plugin-supported Bukkit inventory/item APIs; Paper/Spigot only |
+| Vanilla NPC | `/av testnpcgui` | Safe native Villager spawn, AI and nonpersistence APIs; Paper/Spigot only |
+| Streak track | `/av teststreakgui` | Plugin-supported Bukkit inventory/item APIs; Paper/Spigot only |
+| Radial | `/av testradialgui` | Native display/interaction/transformation APIs, 1.19.4+ |
+| Native dialog | `/av testdialoggui` | Paper 1.21.7+ or compatible Spigot dialog API/client |
+| Reward showcase | `/av testshowcasegui` | Native display/interaction/transformation APIs, 1.19.4+ |
+| Voting terminal | `/av testterminalgui` | Native display/interaction/transformation APIs, 1.19.4+ |
+
+Inventory styles provide the broadest compatibility. Display styles use crosshair targeting,
+not free cursor movement. Capability checks are authoritative; no test command silently redirects
+to a different renderer. Folia paths use player/entity/region ownership and refuse footprints
+crossing an unowned region. Automated Paper/Folia client-protocol checks are recorded below. Visual layouts and manual
+gameplay have not been verified; protocol checks do not establish visual usability. The existing Java 21
+build requirement and production voting interfaces/accounting remain unchanged.
+
+Use `/av testgui list` to see each independent enabled/supported state, `status` for bounded
+tracked session/entity counts, `close` for your current experiment, and `cleanup` to retire all
+temporary experiments. The global `Experimental.VoteGUIs.Enabled: false` default remains off.
+Enable it explicitly before testing; keep individual style switches false to exclude them.
+
+### Folia teleport lifecycle
+
+Folia's current asynchronous teleport implementation does not publish the ordinary
+`PlayerTeleportEvent` on all teleport paths. Experimental sessions therefore also
+check the player's position on its entity scheduler once per second on Folia. Moving
+from the opening position (including a short teleport) closes the menu; looking around
+does not. This deliberately stricter Folia rule applies to all eight experimental
+styles, including the legacy hologram test, and never closes an unrelated inventory.
+Spigot/Paper retain teleport-event and distance-based cleanup. No packet interception
+or internal server fields are used.
+
+### Inventory cleanup and Folia limitation
+
+Paper/Spigot cleanup closes the exact experimental inventory inline when already on the
+server thread, including plugin disable. A different production inventory remains untouched.
+Worker callbacks continue to use player scheduling.
+
+Folia currently rejects or discards player-scheduler work after a plugin is disabled. A fixed
+region scheduler cannot safely follow a player who teleported to a different region. To prevent
+preview items becoming transferable after listeners are removed, AnimatedInventory, StreakTrack
+and NPC (whose selection opens an inventory) are explicitly unavailable on Folia. Their commands
+report this reason before creating a session or touching an inventory. The five native styles
+remain independent and available when their individual capabilities exist. This restriction can
+be removed when a supported lifecycle API guarantees owner-scheduled inventory retirement.
+
+### Executed server/client checks
+
+The candidate implementation was exercised on real Paper 26.2 build 133 and Folia 26.2 build 7
+servers with Java 25, two automated client connections, seven reward-free configured voting
+sites, and ViaVersion/ViaBackwards for protocol 26.1. No graphical client, screenshot or manual
+gameplay claim is made. Native dialog callback automation needed a test-only length-prefixed
+nullable-NBT protocol shim; that does not prove unmodified 26.1 client dialog compatibility.
+
+Paper passed 56 bounded client-protocol checks covering all eight styles: creation, correct
+site URL, relevant pagination, invalid URLs, private entity visibility, intruder rejection,
+replacement, close, tracked resources, production `/vote gui` after the experiments, and active
+display reload cleanup. Folia passed 43 checks for its five supported styles and explicit
+resource-free rejection of the three unavailable inventory styles.
+
+A separate run with a three-second timeout and then sixty-second timeout passed 17 checks on
+Paper and 14 on Folia: supported styles expired without tracked resources, and a one-block
+teleport retired them well before expiration. Both platforms stopped cleanly and had no
+class-loading, event-delivery or thread-ownership failure markers in these runs. The test JAR
+SHA-256 was `f7d8538b37bd5f7ff89313446ead165ad191b511ee00736552f07bab31eecfac`.
+
+These checks observe tracked registries and client-visible entities, not an exhaustive world
+scan. Earned streak/reward progression, graphical spacing/animation/accessibility, failure
+during partial spawning, old-server gameplay, and Folia
+region-boundary stress remain manual/integration verification limits. Deterministic tests
+cover ownership, cancellation, stale callbacks, unrelated inventory/entity events and cleanup
+failures, but do not substitute for those gameplay scenarios.
+
+A further automated death/disconnect run passed 17 checks on Paper (all eight styles) and
+11 on Folia (five supported native styles). Each active menu was retired after a real player
+death, then separately after disconnect/reconnect, with zero tracked sessions, snapshots, NPCs
+and displays. The servers exited cleanly with no listed failure markers. This uses the same
+validated candidate JAR and remains protocol automation rather than manual visual gameplay.
+
+The site-key follow-up at `daa111a8fd619322bbca034939b44541ad710a1b` was rerun on
+both servers with the exact new JAR, SHA-256
+`031555380d0fb081891df1b0793d6576babcda4b7fab36c06fe8218d46a8b371`. Paper passed
+59 checks and Folia passed 46. These repeat the creation/URL/navigation/ownership/
+replacement/close/production-GUI/reload checks and add correct second-site URL
+selection in hologram, radial and showcase menus using two valid 2,048-character
+site keys with a common prefix. Both servers exited with code zero and no listed
+failure markers. The fixtures restored their prior site configuration afterward.
+The separate timeout/teleport/death/disconnect evidence above remains tied to its
+earlier artifact; these latest runs do not broaden the stated visual or gameplay
+verification limits.
