- Lua 5.0's generic-for and nested long strings are restored in a forked VM — 60 corpus addons stopped dying on one deleted opcode
- a day of demand-driven carving takes the 218-addon corpus from 24 addons surviving a session start to 114, with 144 loading without a single error
- Bagnon draws a real bag and answers real gestures — hover tooltip, pickup, use, drag — because our frames wear the reference's names, and the reference's own ContainerFrame.lua runs off the player's install instead of being transcribed
- the physics broad phase leaves: nothing in the client reads a contact, and it was measured at up to 41% of main-thread samples in real sessions

- the whole loop plays: the line arcs rod tip to bobber, the bite splashes with its own sound, and clicking the bobber reels in
- the verdicts read like 1.12: yellow "your fish got away" lines, the reel-in sound, the fishing loot window
- "You feel rested." prints on the transition, rest states come from the client's own Exhaustion table, and level 60 trades the XP strip for the max-level rail
- the Skills pane lists what the real client lists: the hidden rows, the sort, gray numberless single-rank lines

- a chat link edits as one atomic token: the caret can't land inside it, its colors survive, one keypress removes it whole
- spell tooltips print the resolved mana cost through the reference's own table walk, and the "% of base mana" line dies
- the spirit healer's confirm comes back after a cancel and wears its warning icon
- the dressing room's pane is a live animating model, and a tried-on bow lands in the hand

- one era-style Options window: window chrome, category list, search box and its own ESC rung, with the game menu reshaped to match
- settings are real CVars now: GetCVar/SetCVar reach Lua, and your changes persist as a diff in benilla/config.toml
- all local state lives in one visible benilla/ folder beside your Data/ — nothing hides in platform config dirs
- UI text stays crisp at any scale and survives a mid-session resolution change: glyphs measure in the environment they raster in

- One text-input law for every field. Login, character create and the delete
dialog each improvised their own tiny keyboard handling — no caret movement,
no selection, no clipboard, and Ctrl/Cmd+V typed a literal "v" into the
password box. All of them now run the same byte-verified edit-box law as
chat: clipboard, select-all, word moves, shift-selection, the real 0.5 s
caret blink. The password box masks what you copy off it, like the original.
- Copy/paste on Linux had two independent causes, one per direction: our window
is Wayland but the clipboard backend spoke X11 only, and a copy relinquished
the X11 selection the moment it returned (an X11 clipboard lives only as long
as its owning connection). Both fixed — Wayland windows get a real Wayland
clipboard, X11 keeps a held handle. AltGr is not Ctrl anymore either, so
Polish and German layouts can type ą, ć and ź in chat instead of triggering
select-all. Compile-checked on Linux; wants a real-session retest.
- The exterior sun keeps its colour. A per-channel clamp saturated the warm
continental sun to pale yellow-white on every sunlit fence, post and doodad;
the clamp now happens once, at the sum, so the fiery orange survives — the
reported Silverpine fence and Blackrock steps match the reference's own
arithmetic.
- A pool has a floor. Undercity's upper slime channels claimed the dry room a
storey below them — 115 yards down still read as submerged. A pool now stops
at its own room's floor; a sweep of every building in the shipped world found
51 such stacked sites across 6 buildings, all closed.
- Ctrl/Cmd+Z hides the whole UI layer for clean screenshots, and instrumented
debug runs open their window in the background instead of stealing focus.

- The main menu bar's two empty recesses fill. The micro menu — the eight arched
buttons: character, spellbook, talents, quest log, socials, world map, main menu,
help — sits in the dark panel between the page arrows and the bags, transcribed
from the reference's own layout: the character button wears your portrait, a button
holds itself down while its panel is up, and the talent button appears at level 10.
The latency meter fills the one slot the bar art leaves transparent for exactly it,
tinted green/yellow/red on the reference's 300/600 ms thresholds and drawn UNDER
the bar art, seen through its window, the way 1.12 actually does it. The socials
and main-menu buttons find their panels one snapshot later; help still waits.
- The UI explains itself on hover: 1.12 ships its detailed two-line tooltips ON — a
FrameXML default, not the opt-in extra it is often remembered as — so the micro
buttons, your own portrait, the XP bar, the five bag buttons and the ping meter
all answer a hover with the reference's own explanations.
- The PvP flag, end to end: crossed swords on the player, target and party frames,
driven by the two descriptor bits the wire actually carries, and `/pvp` speaks —
the yellow toast plus the system chat line, the OFF sentence being the one that
warns the flag lingers for five minutes. It really does linger: turning it off
waits out the server's timer, which looks like a bug and is the reference.
- Quest markers stopped freezing. The grey `!` over a questgiver above your level
goes gold the moment you ding, an NPC re-entering view is asked afresh instead of
wearing a session-old answer, and the marker drops when the questgiver bit goes
off — the re-ask triggers mirror the reference's own set, plus one named addition
(your own level changing).
- Water and heights: swimming downhill no longer bounces between swim and fall ten
times a second — the surface line is a two-sided constraint, so the swimmer
settles with the river instead of being left behind by it. And collision height
is per-unit now, read from the unit's own model: a gnome used to swim with a
third of a yard of water over her head because five depth lines were quoting a
human's number.
- A round of pixel honesty in text and chat: the newest chat line no longer wears a
wider drop shadow than every line above it (shadows move in whole pixels now),
keeps its descenders, and hover boxes stop painting over the chat body. The chat
input's history browse survives programmatic edits, a failed script chunk warns
instead of vanishing, and recall deepens to 64 lines. Idle animation got honest
too: a model's idle is Stand resolved through its own lookup table — never
file order, which had the duel flag bobbing on its spawn clip — and an armed idle
is culled on the box its animation authors, not the bind pose, so the flag stops
vanishing at most camera angles.
