 ### 14.2 F9 Menu System — Complete Inventory and Gap
 
 MC's F9 bar has 5 entries: **Left** · **File** · **Command** · **Options** · **Right** (Left and Right identical). Total: **67 items, 8 separators, ~30 sub-dialogs**.
 
-**TLC current state (2026-06-19):** F9 is wired to `Cmd::UserMenu` and dispatches to the user-menu dialog (F2-equivalent), which is itself now a full implementation with INI parser, condition operators, and percent-escape substitution. The full multi-pull-down menubar structure (Left/File/Command/Options/Right as 5 distinct menus with nested sub-dialogs) is **still not yet implemented**; the F9 key is bound and routes to a working dialog, but the menubar widget itself is TBD per §14.7 Phase 14a follow-up.
+**TLC current state (2026-07-05):** F9 opens a full expanded menubar with all 20+ commands across Left, File, Command, Options, Right pull-down menus (15l). Each pull-down dispatches directly to the corresponding `Cmd::` variant.

 ### 14.9 Key Architectural Decisions for Phase 14
 
-1. **F9 Menu Bar** — F9 is wired to `Cmd::UserMenu` and dispatches to the
-   working user-menu dialog. The full 5-pull-down menubar widget (Left/File/
-   Command/Options/Right with nested sub-dialogs) is TBD — when implemented
-   it will use a `MenuBar` widget in `widget/` that renders a horizontal bar
-   of pull-down menus. Each menu is a `Vec<MenuItem>` with text, optional
-   hotkey, optional shortcut display, and a dispatch closure. The menubar is
-   activated by F9, navigated by Left/Right, items selected by Up/Down/Enter,
-   dismissed by Esc/F9.
+1. **F9 Menu Bar** — F9 opens an expanded menubar with all 20+ commands
+   across Left, File, Command, Options, Right pull-down menus (implemented
+   in Phase 15l). Each pull-down dispatches directly to the corresponding
+   `Cmd::` variant. Editor F9 menubar is also fully wired with New/Open/Save/
+   SaveAs/Quit/Find/FindNext/FindPrev/Replace/BookmarkNext/Prev and an
+   Options sub-menu with 5 toggle commands.
