- the camera auto-follow returns, as a setting: Camera Following Style on the Controls options page — Smart (the default), Always, Never — so after an orbit drag the camera swings back behind you while you run; far sight still forces the chase off
- broken addons announce themselves: world entry prints "3 addon load failures — type /errors to see them", and the `/errors` window lists every script error this session with its traceback — 256 deduplicated rows, repeats collapsing onto a count — while the five load-failure classes that only ever hit the terminal (missing .toc, unparseable FrameXML, dependency cycles…) finally get a channel
- B opens the backpack alone, SHIFT-B opens all bags, F8–F11 toggle the individual slots — the reference's six bag commands instead of one command wearing every chord; and the Skills page gets its CLOSE button, with the ALL fold in the row font
- cmangos-classic logons work: `CMSG_AUTH_SESSION` now carries the real client's twelve secure-addon records (342 bytes, compressing to 130) — an empty addon block is a shape no client can send, and cmangos kicks for it where vmangos shrugs; Warden-enabled anticheat remains a separate wall

- every glue-screen string renders its colour markup — the addon tooltip included, which used to print its |cff… codes raw
- the addon list's scroll knob finally drags, on one shared slider law: press anywhere on the track and the knob warps under your cursor and follows, exactly as 1.12's slider behaves
- item effects survive the character sheet and dressing room again — a booth bake is premultiplied by construction and is no longer premultiplied twice, which had been erasing every glow hanging in the space beside the model
- the login one-shot announcements wait for the in-game UI to exist before they fire

- text rasterizes every glyph at its exact on-screen size, on demand — the fixed size ladder and its rescale-after-snap are gone, the machinery that left names scrambled and lines off their baseline after a window resize
- the worldport ack now rides the load's completion the way the real client sends it, and the near-teleport echo stands alone as the whole handshake
- a floating combat number whose anchor leaves the screen is destroyed rather than dragged to the border, and a trailing line break ends its line instead of opening a new one
- entering the world, the loading cover provably presents before the UI builds behind it, holds the world's audio while it is up, and fails closed

- an addon's own texture files resolve from its folder, TGA included, and SetTexture answers 1 or nil the way the client does — custom icons and skins draw
- runtime SetParent re-levels a frame by the client's strata law, and the raise survives hide-and-show round-trips — AtlasLoot layers right
- an addon that unregisters an event mid-fire no longer robs the next addon of the same event — Bagnon's per-character database fills again
- the Model widget's clock truncates milliseconds like the client's, and the no-text cast-bar law is confirmed at the bytes and narrowed to the cast bar alone

- an addon error shows the red script-error dialog the reference shows, and a runaway load loop can no longer freeze world entry
- food and drink show stack counts from the first login, and a paladin's aura bar lights the aura that is actually on
- logging out no longer erases the character from saved-bag addons: the player's absence is no data
- MPQ patches are discovered the way the client discovers them, and a slow arrival holds in place instead of falling through the world

- SetBinding accepts the mouse wheel — the refusal was ours, not the client's — so wheel-bound action buttons press and release like the real thing
- one addon load law: a single arbiter for "can this addon load, and why not", with the out-of-date version gate live
- one AddOns screen — the character-select list, wearing the authored reference layout: roster dropdown, per-character tri-state checkboxes, force-load; the ESC-menu panel is retired, since 1.12's own menu has no AddOns row
- the glyph atlas follows the window scale, so maximised text stops washing out and a title stops measuring wider than it draws; an unpositioned frame positions nothing, instead of landing at the screen origin
