-# side is a real `UiScript::new()` dumped through `pairs(_G)`. The previous version of this script
-# inferred both by pattern-matching source — that is how the arc got "54 C_Container references"
-# (a grep over Rust, not API surface) and the 124-then-41 corpus estimates, all wrong. When the
-# question is what a running system exposes, ask the running system.
-#
-# It also no longer measures Bagnon/Questie/WeakAuras out of the Era install: 1188 settled the
-# target as 1.12.1 and the vanilla ecosystem, so an Era addon's call sites are the wrong client's
-# demand. The real-addon half of the question belongs to the vanilla addon harness (1188 phase 6).
-#
-# **The addon corpora are not 1.12 codebases, and that shapes what a grep over them means.**
-# The vanilla addon corpus (`benilla_formats::addon_corpus`) holds addons that RUN on 1.12 — which is
-# not the same as addons written for 1.12 and nothing else. Most of the big ones ship one codebase
-# for several clients and pick a path at load: pfUI registers every module with a version list
-# (`RegisterModule("loot", "vanilla:tbc", …)`, matched against `pfUI.expansion`), pfQuest keeps a
-# whole `compat/client.lua` off `GetBuildInfo`, and `libs/` directories carry vendored libraries
-# with their own client targets. Addons also come in several versions of themselves — a corpus is one snapshot of each.
-#
-# So a call site found by grep may be TBC-era code that a 1.12 client reaches and raises on, an
-# addon calling a name it defines itself under its own namespace, or genuinely 1.12 demand. The
-# three read very differently and look identical to `grep -rn`. Decision 2146 is the case that
-# made the point: six 2.0 globals were kept here for years on the strength of call sites that
-# turned out to be all of the first two kinds.
-#
-# **Never quote the percentage undifferentiated** (1178's rule, and 1188 restates it). A missing
-# global is one of three different things, and only reading the list tells you which:
-# · a verb for a feature benilla has not built at all → not a gap, a backlog item
-# · a verb missing from a feature benilla ships → a real hole, fix it
-# · a name we have that 1.12 does not → a superset, and not free
-# The last one is the one this script insists on printing in full: an addon that feature-detects
-# (`if strmatch then`) takes a path we cannot honour, and the failure surfaces far from the cause.

+# Never quote the percentage alone: a missing global is an unbuilt feature or a hole in a shipped
