     <!--
-        The OPTIONS window (decision 0950) — the shell (slice A) and the real PAGES: Audio
-        (0957), Graphics (0959), Controls (0961), Nameplates (0992, with the dropdown row
-        shape). Opened from the game menu's Options button.
-        Setting rows ride the CVar store (0954): rows read GetCVar on show, write SetCVar on
-        interaction, and Defaults resets the visible page's CVars to their registered defaults.
-        Pages without rows are still empty and keep Defaults disabled. One row defers — uiScale
-        stages a pending value and commits through the era Apply button (0961), because a live
-        write would rescale the very slider being dragged.
-
-        PROVENANCE (0985 — the three-source split, stated the same way in every era-shaped
-        window; GameMenuFrame.xml carries the sibling block):
-        · STRUCTURE & BEHAVIOR — the 1.15 era client (wow-ui-source-era @ 1.15.9.68940):
-          layout, geometry grammar, interaction, functionality — the single all-in-one
-          window, the category tree, the search, the Apply flow. If 1.15 has the mechanism,
-          it STAYS, even where the older clients had none — except a DIRECTED CUT the
-          director makes on look, each recorded (0989: the slider steppers and the corner
-          close X; the split bends to taste only by record, never silently).
-        · CHROME MECHANISM — the 1.13/1.14 clients' own UI source (wow-ui-source @ 1.14.4,
-          their System window family; 0981/0984): HOW surfaces are textured — the dialog
-          backdrop, the outline boxes, the title plate, the select/hover washes and their
-          tints, the hairlines. Geometry may bend where 1.15 furniture needs a seat (the
-          -52 band below); the mechanism holds.
-        · ART BYTES — the 1.12 MPQ chain only, or a plain color fill (0978 retired every
-          era-atlas extraction and the `era:` scheme; one install, nothing later-client at
-          runtime).
-        So: the 1.12 OptionsFrame family (four separate panels) collapses into the era's
-        single window — a category list, one page area — every texture 1.12-native. The era
-        art names in the bullets below stay as GEOMETRY CITATIONS, not drawn art:
-        · **Root** — Blizzard_SettingsPanel.xml `SettingsPanel`: 920x724, CENTER, strata HIGH,
-          hidden. Skin per `SettingsFrameTemplate` (Classic/Blizzard_SettingsPanelTemplates.xml):
-          FlatPanelBackgroundTemplate at TOPLEFT (7,-18) → BOTTOMRIGHT (-3,3), the
-          `ButtonFrameTemplateNoPortrait` nine-slice (Classic/NineSliceLayouts.lua l.132 — right
-          edge x=-8/x1=8), the `_UI-Frame-TitleTileBg` title band (256x17, TexCoords
-          .2890625/.421875, TOPLEFT (8,-3) → TOPRIGHT (0,-3)), title GameFontNormal TOP (0,-5).
-        · **Category list** — Blizzard_CategoryList.xml + .lua: rows/headers STRETCH to the
-          scroll target's width (199, no scroll bar); header 30 tall (label 14px white at
-          LEFT (20,-1), Options_CategoryHeader_<n> wash at TOPLEFT at atlas size, n cycling
-          per header); row 20 tall (label GameFontNormal TOPLEFT (36,+1); bg CENTER —
-          options_list_active selected / options_list_hover hover, at atlas size); 2 between
-          elements, 18-tall spacer between groups (so 22 row-to-header).
-        · **Page area** — Blizzard_SettingsList.xml: title 20px white TOPLEFT (7,-22), the
-          options_horizontaldivider at TOP (0,-50), Defaults 96x22 at TOPRIGHT (-36,-16).
-        · **Tabs** — SharedXML Shared/Tabs/MinimalTab.{xml,lua}: a bottom-anchored three-slice
-          of Options_Tab[_Active]_{Left,Middle,Right}, GameTab TOPLEFT (32,-27) h37, AddOnsTab
-          5 right of it; width text+40; selected = white small text at BOTTOM+6, unselected =
-          gold small at BOTTOM+4.
-        · **Search box** — SharedXML SearchBoxTemplate → InputBoxVisualTemplate
-          (SecureUIPanelTemplates.xml l.42-67): the common-search-border three-slice (8x20 caps,
-          left hung 5 outside, middle stretched, all centered on the 22 box), 10x10 magnifier at
-          LEFT (1,-1), 17x17 clear button at RIGHT (-3), TextInsets 16/20, instructions label
-          GameFontDisableSmall tinted 0.35 at TOPLEFT (16,0) → BOTTOMRIGHT (-20,0).
-        THE 1.12 ART MAPPING (0978 base set, 0981 chrome — every file verified present in the
-        5875 MPQ chain; the CHROME recipe is the 1.14 System window's own, read verbatim from
-        wow-ui-source @1.14.4 OptionsFrameTemplates.xml + InterfaceOptionsFrame.xml, whose
-        every piece is 1.12-native or a color):
-        · window chrome — BACKDROP_DIALOG_32_32, the 1.14 options frames' backdrop: tiled
-          UI-DialogBox-Background ground (uniform black at 60% alpha — the world reads
-          through, the reference screenshot's actual mechanism; 0978 misread that ground as
-          parchment) + UI-DialogBox-Border rope edge 32, insets 11/12/12/11. Title plate
-          UI-DialogBox-Header at the options frames' 300x68 TOP (0,+12) seat, title on it.
-          ON TOP of that tile, inside the rope, a plain black 0.7 fill (1476) takes the
-          composite ground to 0.88: at the bare tile the world reached the option labels
-          hard enough to break them over bright terrain. The read-through stays, dimmed.
-        · the era's one dark Options_InnerFrame panel → TWO 1.14 OptionsFrameListTemplate
-          boxes: tooltip-border backdrops with the FILL AT ALPHA 0 (outlines — the ground
-          shows through) and the border tinted LIGHTGRAY_FONT_COLOR 0.6, tops at -52 (1.14's
-          own -40 band deepened 12 to hold the era search seat — 0984), tabs seated on the
-          category box's top edge (BOTTOMLEFT → box TOPLEFT (6,-3), the file-folder tuck).
-        · category rows — the 1.14 list-button wash, verbatim mechanism (0984,
-          OptionsFrameTemplates.{xml l.216-229, lua l.107-131}): ONE UI-QuestLogTitleHighlight
-          quad in ADD blend at the era plate seat (187x21 centered), steel-blue (.196,.388,.8)
-          as the hover and locked GOLD (1,1,0) as the selection, white hover/selected text.
-          The Options_CategoryHeader_<n> washes have no 1.12 counterpart and are DROPPED —
-          headers are their label alone.
-        · checkboxes: the UI-CheckBox four-state set at the era 30x29 seat (no HighlightTexture
-          — hover feedback stays the era row-wide wash, unchanged behavior).
-        · sliders: the 1.12 OptionsSliderTemplate groove — UI-SliderBar-Background/-Border
-          backdrop, its exact edge 8 / tile 8 / insets 3/3/6/6 — on a 17-tall Groove frame at
-          the era track seat, and the 32x32 UI-SliderBar-Button-Horizontal thumb. NO steppers
-          (0989, a directed cut of era structure): the bar is the whole control, 1.12's own
-          look — and the whole bar is live (thumb drag, or press anywhere on the track to
-          seat the thumb there and keep dragging; the engine's 0989 track-press law).
-        · tabs: UI-Character-ActiveTab / -InActiveTab flipped vertically via TexCoords (1.12
-          ships only bottom-tab plates; the flip turns them top-tab), one stretched piece per
-          plate instead of the era three-slice, at the era plate heights (26 active / 23 not).
-          (1.14's own UI-OptionsFrame-{Active,InActive}Tab three-slice is a 2.x file — not in
-          the 1.12 chain, verified absent.)
-        · search box: the classic Common-Input-Border three-slice (the file IS in 1.12
-          interface.MPQ — 0950's pull list mislabeled it era-only), the InputBoxTemplate UVs.
-          The era magnifier has no 1.12 counterpart and is DROPPED (the "Search" placeholder
-          carries the affordance) — and with it the era's 16-left TextInsets seat, which
-          exists to clear that magnifier: text and caret sit at 5, snug to the border ink
-          (0989). The clear-X wears the UI-Panel-MinimizeButton ball at its 17x17 seat,
-          half-lit, full-lit on hover (the era ClearButtonMixin's alpha law).
-        · divider: a 1-unit white hairline at 0.3 alpha, a color fill — what the era's
-          options_horizontaldivider atlas member actually is (decoded: a 630x1 pure-white row,
-          alpha peaking ~0.4, mean ~0.26). 0978's stretched UI-DialogBox-Divider is retired.
-
-        SCOPE / divergences (noted, not bugs):
-        - **No corner close X (0989, a directed cut)** — the era HAS one
-          (UIPanelCloseButtonNoScripts: the UI-Panel-MinimizeButton family at TOPRIGHT (+4,+4),
-          Classic SharedUIPanelTemplates.xml l.172-180), and 0981/0984 wore it; the director
-          cut it. The red Close button and ESC close the window, and the freed corner returns
-          the search box to the era's full-width TOPRIGHT seat.
-        - **Tabs are STATIC MinimalTab plates** (slice B): Game wears the selected state
-          permanently, AddOns the unselected gold — the era swaps these in code
-          (MinimalTabMixin), and with nothing behind AddOns the selection can never change, so
-          the two states are authored rather than driven. The mixin port comes with the addon
-          list. Width is era's text+40 law, fitted once from each tab's own `<OnShow>` (2028 —
-          the engine's measurer answers in the call that asks); the era's
-          measure-at-the-medium-font quirk is deliberately dropped (~6 units of padding).
-        - **Search WORKS (0984)** — the era SettingsPanel mechanism re-expressed (the Script
-          block's search section): label-tag substring match scored by matched length,
-          results grouped under clickable category heads ordered by best score, a matched
-          child pulls its parent row in, "Search Results" title with Defaults hidden while
-          the search holds the page, the no-results line, and the search ends on a category
-          click or hide (the era's own ClearSearchBox law). The result rows are the LIVE
-          rows, reflowed — values, writes and dependencies all work mid-search. The two
-          strings ("Search Results", "No results found.") are ours: the era's
-          SETTINGS_SEARCH_* globals live in the client binary, not the dump.
-        - **The PAGE AREA scrolls; the category tree does not.** The static tree (9 rows, 2
-          headers) fits its 199px column outright, and every CVar page fits its area, so nothing
-          on a settled page has a bar. The page area is a real ScrollFrame all the same (B217 —
-          the era's SettingsList is a ScrollBox with a MinimalScrollBar, and results and pages
-          ride the same one): a SEARCH chains group heads and matched rows from every category
-          into one column, which for a broad query outran the page and drew out through the
-          window onto the world. The body is the scroll child, sized to the visible rect until
-          the content outgrows it (OptionsScroll_Fit). The KEYBINDINGS page (decision 1008 — the
-          1.15 Settings panel's own Keybindings category, module + provenance in
-          KeyBindingsPage.xml) keeps its OWN faux-scroll list inside that body — it fills the
-          body exactly, so the outer scroll's range on it is 0 and the two bars are never live
-          together; its search results reflow live binding rows under a Keybindings group head
-          whose click jumps to the page (the era redirect law), capped at the static pool's size.
-          Both bars wear the shared kit's trough (the recessed channel — 1.12 authors that art
-          per window, so it is opt-in there and declared beside each bar here).
-        - **Row tooltips are 1.12's own strings on the era's seat (B223, decision 1054)**: every
-          row whose setting exists in a 1.12 panel raises that panel's `OPTION_TOOLTIP_*` text —
-          the description ALONE, wrapped, in the engine's default gold (the 1.12/1.14 option-row
-          plate, and this window's own since 1008's Character Specific row), seated the era way
-          (ANCHOR_RIGHT off the label half, x -10). The era's name-line-then-description pair
-          (`Settings.InitTooltip` → `GameTooltip_AddHighlightLine(name)`) is cut: its title would
-          repeat the label the cursor is already on. **Auto Loot** is the one row with no 1.12
-          string — no 1.12 row exists for it (its label is era's too) — and raises no plate.
-        - **Setting-page cuts (0957 Audio, 0959 Graphics)**: Defaults resets the VISIBLE page only (the
-          era confirm dialog is not modeled); era rows with no 1.12 CVar +
-          benilla knob behind them (output device, Dialog volume, loop music, channels, cache;
-          the whole era Graphics dropdown zoo) don't ship. A slider shows the 1.12 panel's
-          range even where the benilla knob's clamp is wider (uiScale's env clamp is 0.5..1.5):
-          a config value outside the page range displays clamped — thumb and readout agree on
-          the nearest expressible value, the engine keeps running the config's truth, and
-          nothing writes back until the player actually moves the row.
-        - **Apply-flow cuts (0961)**: the era's close-with-pending 3-button confirm dialog
-          (GAME_SETTINGS_CONFIRM_DISCARD) is not modeled — hiding the window silently discards
-          pending edits (the era's own hide path wipes without committing too); the 8-second
-          "keep these settings?" revert timer (CommitFlag.Revertable) is not modeled either —
-          Apply commits outright.
-        - Era rows this slice does not ship: the Accessibility group, and Languages/Network under
-          System — pages with no benilla knobs behind them yet (0950's "only rows backed by real
-          knobs" rule). Nameplates joined the tree in slice B on the promise of its knobs; the
-          page went LIVE in 0992 (the three UnitName* checkbox rows).
-        - **The window rides a scale knob** (slice B): fonts ride frame scale engine-wide now
-          (the 0219 §2 divergence closed), so ERA_WINDOW_SCALE × the era checkFit shrink
-          (UIPanelUpdateScaleForFit, re-expressed in this file) sizes the whole window; 0.78 is
-          the director's-eye starting point, live-tunable. The knob is SHARED: it stands in for
-          the era client's UIParent scale (smaller than our 1.12 768-canvas on modern screens),
-          so every era-shaped window wears it — GameMenuFrame.xml reads it in its OnShow.
+        The Options window, opened from the game menu. Deviation: the 1.15 era client's single
+        settings window replaces the 1.12 four-panel family, whose frames load hidden for addons.
+        Structure follows the era UI source (1.15.9), surfaces the 1.14 System window
+        (OptionsFrameTemplates.xml); every art byte is 1.12-native or a colour fill, so era atlas
+        names below cite geometry only. Cut from the era window: the corner close X, live tabs,
+        the Accessibility, Languages and Network pages, and the close-with-pending confirm and
+        revert timer, so hiding discards pending edits and Apply commits outright. A slider shows
+        the 1.12 range; an out-of-range config value displays clamped and is not written back.

-        --
-        -- benilla's options window is THIS file and it is the one the player opens. But the
-        -- reference's own `UIOptionsFrame.xml` is now loaded too — hidden, off the player's chain,
-        -- at the manifest's l.21 seat above this row — so that a third-party addon reaching for
-        -- `UIOptionsFrame`, `UIOptionsFrameCheckButton42` or `UIOptionsFrame_Load()` finds the real
-        -- thing instead of an alias onto us. Three things this file used to carry are the stock
-        -- file's, and are gone from here rather than duplicated:
-        --
-        --   · **The 30 options uvars.** `UIOptionsFrame_Init` (stock UIOptionsFrame.lua l.93-185)
-        --     assigns every one its factory value and `RegisterForSave`s it — SIMPLE_CHAT,
-        --     CHAT_LOCKED, REMOVE_CHAT_DELAY, SHOW_NEWBIE_TIPS, LOCK_ACTIONBAR,
-        --     SHOW_BUFF_DURATIONS, ALWAYS_SHOW_MULTIBARS, SHOW_PARTY_PETS, QUEST_FADING_DISABLE,
-        --     SHOW_PARTY_BACKGROUND, HIDE_PARTY_INTERFACE, SHOW_TARGET_OF_TARGET(+_STATE),
-        --     HIDE_OUTDOOR_WORLD_STATE, AUTO_QUEST_WATCH, the fourteen COMBAT_TEXT_* rows and
-        --     COMBAT_TEXT_FLOAT_MODE, plus NAMEPLATES_ON/FRIENDNAMEPLATES_ON. Every value we used
-        --     to write here was already the reference's (1804 made them so), so this is a pure
-        --     de-duplication and the DEFAULT IS NOW THE REFERENCE'S BY CONSTRUCTION: our rows read
-        --     the global at their OnLoad (`OptionsGlobalRow_OnLoad`'s `udefault`), and the stock
-        --     file has assigned it long before, so Defaults still walks back to the shipped value.
-        --     Five it declares that we never did come free: SIMPLE_CHAT, SHOW_PARTY_PETS,
-        --     SHOW_PARTY_BACKGROUND, HIDE_PARTY_INTERFACE, and the nameplate pair's save rows.
-        --
-        --   · **`UIOptionsFrameCheckButtons`.** The reference's option table, whose home is that
-        --     file. Stock `MultiActionBars.lua:10` writes five rows into it at ITS load ("Hack to
-        --     get around load order dependencies"), which is why the stock window's row must sit

-        --
-        --   · **`UpdateNameplates`.** `UIOptionsFrame.lua` l.768-780 — the reference's own home

-        --     are ours in `script/cvars.rs`, unchanged. **One line of that body came back here**
-        --     (decision 2132) — see the re-declaration below; the de-duplication otherwise stands.
-        --
-        -- ── THE ONE ASSIGNMENT THAT STAYS, AND WHY IT IS AN OVERRIDE ────────────────────────────
-        -- `AUTO_QUEST_WATCH` is the string `"1"` ON PURPOSE (decision 1136): the reference assigns

-        -- `QuestLogFrame.lua:64/68` and the checkbox's own load — compares against the STRING, and
-        -- in Lua 5.0 `1 ~= "1"`. So on a fresh 1.12 install the box paints unchecked and the

-        -- advertised default is the real one — a recorded deviation under 1804's rule, not a quiet
-        -- one.
-        --
-        -- **This file loads AFTER the stock one** (manifest l.21 vs this window's seat before

-        -- one would be redundant — but it is kept, because `RegisterForSave` is idempotent and a

-    <!-- ══ NO ALIASES LEFT, AND THIS WINDOW IS NO LONGER `OptionsFrame` (2115, 2147, 2177) ══
-         The reference has THREE options windows — `OptionsFrame` (video), `SoundOptionsFrame` and
-         `UIOptionsFrame` (interface). **All three are now the reference's own frames, loaded
-         hidden off the player's chain**, and none of them may ever be aliased onto this one.
-
-         The last of the three to arrive was the VIDEO window, and it is the one that took a name
-         off this file: the frame above was called `OptionsFrame` for its whole life, and
-         `Interface\FrameXML\OptionsFrame.xml` declares that name itself. Two frames cannot hold
-         one global — `CreateFrame` publishes into `_G` and the later one simply wins, silently —
-         and neither ordering is survivable. Ours later CLOBBERS the stock frame, and pfUI's
-         `skins/blizzard/options-video.lua` then runs `CreateBackdrop`, `EnableMovable`,
-         `HookScript(…, "OnShow", …)` and `OptionsFrameHeader:SetTexture("")` against the window the
-         player opens. Ours earlier is no better: the skin's `OptionsFrameSlider1..9` and
-         `OptionsFrameCheckButton1..18` would find the stock frame's children while its
-         `CreateBackdrop(OptionsFrame)` found ours — half a skin, on two different windows. So the
-         reference's name went back to the reference's window and this one became
-         `BenillaOptionsFrame`, the `Benilla…` convention every other frame of our own already
-         wears (`BenillaScriptLogFrame`, `BenillaScrollBarTemplate`).
-
-         **What the rename cost, and where each cost is paid.** Three things keyed on the old name
-         had to be restated rather than lost:
-         · the **panel-manager row** — `UIParent.lua:16`'s `UIPanelWindows["OptionsFrame"]`, which
-           gave this window the centre slot and the while-dead permission. Restated below, verbatim.
-         · the **ESC ladder and the micro button** — `ToggleGameMenu`, `IsOptionFrameOpen` and
-           `UpdateMicroButtons` all name the reference's three windows literally, so the whole chain
-           now reads "no" while ours is up. Three wrappers in `GameMenuFrame.xml` add the one term
-           the reference could not know about; that file is the manifest's last row, which is where
-           `UpdateMicroButtons` finally exists to wrap.
-         · the **`OptionsFrameCancel` alias** — RETIRED, and by the sharper of the two arguments.
-           It pointed the reference's name at our Close button so `ToggleGameMenu`'s
-           `OptionsFrameCancel:Click()` would discard-and-hide this window. That button is now a
-           real frame in the stock video window, and this file loads after it, so the alias would
-           not sit beside it — it would **clobber** it, and pfUI's video skin's
-           `SkinButton(OptionsFrameCancel)` would land on ours. The ESC rung it existed for is the
-           `ToggleGameMenu` wrapper's now, calling our own Close button by our own name.
-
-         Nothing of ours may `Show()` any of the three stock frames; each is `hidden="true"` in its
-         own file and that is what keeps them off the screen.

-         **One behaviour changed when the `UIOptionsFrame` alias went, and it is the right one.**
-         `FloatingChatFrame.lua` l.842/860 gate the chat tab and dock hover on
-         `not UIOptionsFrame:IsShown()`. That reads the hidden stock frame, so chat-tab hover
-         works while OUR options window is open. The reference's gate exists because ITS interface
-         window is `frameStrata="FULLSCREEN"` with `setAllPoints` and covers the chat; ours is a
-         panel that does not. No adapter is added for it (2115).

+         aliases a stock name onto this window or shows a stock frame. This one is
+         BenillaOptionsFrame because the stock OptionsFrame.xml owns `OptionsFrame`.
+         GameMenuFrame.xml wraps ToggleGameMenu, IsOptionFrameOpen and UpdateMicroButtons, which
+         name only the stock three. Chat-tab hover (FloatingChatFrame.lua l.842/860) reads the
+         hidden UIOptionsFrame, so it works while this window, which does not cover the chat, is

-        -- VIDEO options window's, so the row keyed on it is ITS row — and this window needs its

-        -- the placement our window has always had, now stated under the name it now answers to.
-        --
-        -- SAFE TO RUN HERE: `UIParent.xml` — which carries `UIParent.lua`, where `UIPanelWindows`
-        -- is created — is the manifest's 7th row (`benilla.toc` l.144) and this file is its 38th
-        -- (l.522), so the table is real by the time this executes.
