Subject: [PATCH] being summoned is a dialog, and a soulstone raises you where
 you fell
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- being summoned becomes the dialog it should have been: the summon request was a name-table entry and nothing else, so a warlock's ritual, a meeting stone and a GM's summon all ended with the summoned player seeing nothing — now the three-field question raises CONFIRM_SUMMON and Accept sends the one guid back; the bytes settled three things a reasonable guess gets wrong: the refusal gate is dead OR ghost and lives in the handler (a ghost's wire health is 1, so the health leg alone lets one through — and refusing before the latch means an ill-timed summon can't silently overwrite a live question), the event carries no arguments because the popup re-reads all three getters every frame (the only way the summoner's name can appear after a cache miss), and there is no decline — Cancel, ESC and the clock running out are all silence plus the server's own two-minute timer; exercised end to end by a two-client live probe, the only thing that can, whose final assertion is that you land in the zone the dialog named
- self-resurrect is one private field and one bodyless opcode: PLAYER_SELF_RES_SPELL carries the stored spell and CMSG_SELF_RES spends it; HasSoulstone answers the Spell.dbc NAME of that spell, because that is where Blizzard put the button text — "Use Soulstone", "Reincarnation" and "Twisting Nether" are the spells' own names — and UseSoulstone sends on the death dialog's second button; a --self-res probe runs the whole arc on the live wire and measured the thing that matters: the field arrives BEFORE the health-zero flush, which is what makes the dialog's OnShow read safe
- the decode's fold-in corrected three claims we were resting on: HasSoulstone has a dead gate that runs FIRST, so a released ghost (wire health 1) loses the button at release rather than the dialog merely hiding; a zero field is not the empty answer — the client walks your carried inventory (gear, bags, backpack, keyring; no bank, no buyback) for an item whose on-use spell self-resurrects, labels the button with the ITEM's name and uses the item instead of sending, the two legs exclusive; and an unresolvable spell id labels the button "UNKNOWN" rather than hiding a self-res the server is holding for you

+    <!--
+        The "someone wants to summon you" dialog (decision 1747): a registry entry on the shared
+        StaticPopup engine (UiPanels.xml) plus its UIParent event arm, written against the
+        patch-chain FrameXML (mpqx extraction, decision 0246) — StaticPopup.lua l.1336-1357 (the
+        entry) and UIParent.lua l.126 / l.551-552 (the registration and the show arm). The string is
+        GlobalStrings.lua l.852, verbatim.
+
+        It belongs to no window, like the duel and binder confirms beside it: a warlock's Ritual of
+        Summoning, a meeting stone and a GM's `.summon` all arrive as the same SMSG_SUMMON_REQUEST
+        with nothing on screen.
+
+        **The event carries NO arguments** — unlike every other confirm here. The engine keeps the
+        request in four globals and the dialog reads them back through GetSummonConfirmSummoner(),
+        GetSummonConfirmAreaName() and GetSummonConfirmTimeLeft() (`crate::ui_summon`'s header
+        carries the byte pin). That is also why this entry's text starts BLANK: it is one of the
+        engine's countdown dialogs, so StaticPopup_Show writes " " and the OnUpdate tick composes
+        the real line every frame from those getters plus the remaining time.
+
+        **Accepting is the only packet in the flow.** There is no decline opcode in 1.12 and no
+        CancelSummon binding, so Cancel and ESC send nothing and the offer simply expires on the
+        server's own two-minute timer — which is also what the countdown running out means. That is
+        why this entry, like CONFIRM_BINDER, has no OnCancel.

+///    stops answering the moment you release, and the walk below never runs while alive.

+///    resolve is **`"UNKNOWN"`**, not nil — the client pushes that literal rather than hiding the
+///    button, and hiding it would silently strip a self-res the server is holding for us.
+/// 3. **The carried item.** Only on a zero field: the reference's own inventory walker at its
+///    default section mask (gear + bags + backpack + keyring, no bank, no buyback — which is
+///    [`InventoryScope::DEFAULT`], the same `0x47` the walker rewrites to) for an item with an
+///    ON-USE (`trigger == 0`) spell carrying [`SPELL_EFFECT_SELF_RESURRECT`] in any effect slot.
+///    The label is the **item's** name.

+//! Being summoned — the server's question, its dialog, and the one word back (decision 1747).
+//!
+//! **The law this module exists for: the client's whole part in a summon is a dialog and an echo.**
+//! A warlock's Ritual of Summoning, a meeting stone and a GM's `.summon` all converge on the same
+//! `SMSG_SUMMON_REQUEST`; the client parks three fields, raises `CONFIRM_SUMMON`, and — only if
+//! Accept is pressed — sends `CMSG_SUMMON_RESPONSE` carrying the summoner's guid.
+//! **Declining sends nothing at all.** There is no decline opcode and no accept flag in the body:
+//! 1.12 has no `CancelSummon` binding (`reference/1.12-globals.tsv` has exactly four names in this
+//! family), so a refused summon is silence plus the server's own two-minute expiry. That is why
+//! nothing here has a "no" path.
+//!
+//! The Era surface it drives is the reference's own (`StaticPopup.lua:1336-1357`,
+//! `UIParent.lua:126`/`551-552`): the `CONFIRM_SUMMON` event, fired with **no arguments**, and the
+//! four engine globals the dialog reads back through ([`benilla_ui::script`]'s `summon` module).
+//!
+//! Byte-pinned against the reference's own handler `0x5e6140` (the opcode→handler map at the
+//! `0x5ab650` registration site gives it `0x2ab`), its latch `0x4963a0`, and the four bindings
+//! `0x48b660`/`0x48b6a0`/`0x48b720`/`0x48b770`:
+//!
+//! 1. **The latch is four globals and nothing structured.** `0x4963a0` writes the guid to
+//!    `[0xb4e358]/[0xb4e35c]`, the zone id to `[0xb4e354]`, and `OsGetAsyncTimeMs() + delay` to
+//!    `[0xb4e350]`, then calls `FrameScript_SignalEvent(516)` with no varargs. [`SummonState`] is
+//!    those four fields, with the deadline on `Time<Real>` for [`crate::death`]'s reason: a window
+//!    the *server* sends counts down in real seconds, and the virtual clock's `max_delta` clamp
+//!    would quietly lengthen it.
+//! 2. **A dead *or ghost* player is refused the question outright.** Ahead of the latch the handler
+//!    resolves the active player (`0x468550` → `0x468460` with typemask `0x10` = player) and, if
+//!    `0x605f30` says yes, returns without latching *or* firing (`5e6194: jne`). So the request
+//!    does not merely fail to show a dialog: it does not disturb a previously latched one either,
+//!    which is why [`apply::request`] is the gate and the popup engine's `whileDead` rule is not.
+//!
+//!    **`0x605f30` is not "is dead"** — that reading cost a wrong first cut here. It is
+//!    `[values+0x40] <= 0` (signed, `605f3b: jle`) **OR** (typemask bit `0x10` **AND** the
+//!    `PLAYER_FLAGS` ghost bit at `[[obj+0xe68]+8] & 0x10`, `605f3d..605f59`). A ghost's wire
+//!    health is **1**, so the first leg alone lets a ghost through; the second is what stops it.
+//!    Both legs are read here, and neither is `unit_reads_dead`'s triple (`0x605f90`), which is
+//!    a different function with a dyn-flag and stand-state leg this one does not have.
+//!    A *missing* player object falls through to the latch — a NULL is sent through
+//!    (`5e6189: je`), so the safe default is to ask.
+//! 3. **`GetSummonConfirmAreaName()` is the summoner's zone, straight out of `AreaTable.dbc`**
+//!    (`0x48b720`: bounds-check, row pointer, `[row + locale*4 + 0x2c]`) — **no parent-zone walk
+//!    and no GlobalString tail**, unlike the innkeeper question's three-step chain
+//!    ([`crate::ui_binder::area_name`], `0x5dfe5e`). An id the table cannot name renders `""`.
+//! 4. **`GetSummonConfirmSummoner()` answers `""` on a cache miss — and the miss is not inert.**
+//!    `0x48b6a0` → `DBCache::NameCache::GetRecord 0x55f080` against the cache at `0xc0e228`, else
+//!    the shared empty string `0x882748`; but a missing record makes `0x55f120` allocate one and
+//!    **send a name query** (`0x55f1fa`), whose arrival signals nothing. So the real name surfaces
+//!    only because the popup engine re-reads all three getters every OnUpdate frame — *a client
+//!    that formats the text once shows an empty summoner forever.* That is what makes
+//!    `UiPanels.xml`'s `CONFIRM_SUMMON` countdown arm the mechanism rather than a transcription,
+//!    and it is why the event is not held back for the name the way `DUEL_REQUESTED` (0633) is:
+//!    that event carries its name as `arg1`, and this one has no argument to hold.
+//!
+//!    [`crate::names::NameCache::resolve`] is the same shape — answer or ask, once — so the feed
+//!    below asks on every frame the question is live and reports whatever has landed.
+//!
+//! **Two deviations, both deliberate.**
+//!
+//! - **The reference never clears the latched guid or zone — nothing in the image does.** Each of
+//!   the three cells has exactly one writer (the latch) and no clearer, so a second pending summon
+//!   silently overwrites the first, and a `ConfirmSummon()` typed at the console with nothing
+//!   pending sends a packet built from whatever is left in the bank. Only the *deadline* is ever
+//!   zeroed, by `0x49014a` inside the login-side init `0x48fbf0`. We keep the overwrite (it is the
+//!   behaviour) and drop the whole latch on the session edge ([`end_session_summon`]), refusing to
+//!   send with no summoner: the reference reaches the same state one step later, at the next
+//!   login-side init, and nothing can read the bank in between.
+//! - We do **not** gate the send on the deadline, and that is the reference's own shape rather than
+//!   an oversight: `ConfirmSummon 0x48b770` tests nothing and does not clear the latch, so two
+//!   Accepts are two packets. vmangos is the thing that makes a late one harmless — its handler
+//!   *ignores the guid entirely* and checks its own `m_summon_expire`.

+//! Two packets, and the asymmetry between them is the whole story. A warlock's Ritual of
+//! Summoning, a meeting stone, or a GM's `.summon` all end in the *server* asking the summoned
+//! player `SMSG_SUMMON_REQUEST`; the client parks the three fields and puts the `CONFIRM_SUMMON`
+//! dialog up. Accepting sends `CMSG_SUMMON_RESPONSE` carrying **the summoner's guid and nothing
+//! else** — there is no accept/decline byte in 1.12, because **declining sends no packet at all**
+//! and the server auto-declines on its own timer.
+//!
+//! | opcode | direction | body |
+//! |---|---|---|
+//! | `SMSG_SUMMON_REQUEST` 0x2ab | in | `u64` summoner guid + `u32` zone id + `u32` delay ms |
+//! | `CMSG_SUMMON_RESPONSE` 0x2ac | out | `u64` summoner guid |
+//!
+//! **Byte-pinned client-side**, not inferred from the server: the 1.12.1 handler `0x5e6140` (the
+//! `0x5ab650` registration site maps `0x2ab` to it) reads exactly three fields in this order —
+//! `CDataStore::GetGuid 0x4190b0`, `CDataStore::GetInt32 0x418e30`, `CDataStore::GetUInt32_2
+//! 0x418fb0` — and the accept binding `ConfirmSummon 0x48b770` writes opcode `0x2ac` followed by
+//! one `CDataStore::PutGuid 0x418370` and sends (`ClientServices::Send 0x5ab630`). Nothing else
+//! goes into either body.
+//!
+//! vmangos agrees on both, independently: `Server/Packets/Misc.cpp`'s
+//! `SummonRequest::AppendBodyTo` writes `summonerGuid; zoneId; autoDeclineDelay`, and
+//! `SummonResponse::ReadFromWorldPacket` reads **only** `summonerGuid` — then ignores it, calling
+//! `Player::SummonIfPossible(true)` off its own `m_summon_expire` window
+//! (`Handlers/MovementHandler.cpp`). So the guid is an echo the server does not check; what makes
+//! a stale accept harmless is the server's timer, not the guid.

+//! `UIParent.lua:551-552`): the `CONFIRM_SUMMON` event raises the dialog with **no arguments at

+//! `function`/`engine`, and there is **no fifth**: 1.12 has no `CancelSummon`, because declining
+//! sends no packet.

+//! **Why the three getters read a pushed snapshot rather than arguments.** The reference keeps the
