- Questie's arrow points at the turn-in, not 100 yards off: the map selection sits on your zone from the moment you enter the world, as the reference's does, so Astrolabe reads the right sheet (2192)
- an area the map has no row for sends the selection to your continent, not the world view; the reference fails its zone lookup and its continent lookup separately
- a tooltip shown with no lines hides itself instead of drawing an empty plate at the last hover's size, as Questie's tracker did on some quests; each fresh hover restores full alpha, so a plate an addon dimmed does not stay dim
- Questie's minimap button turns the quest icons back on: a nil handed to a colour setter stores zero and carries on, as the reference does, where benilla raised and jammed Questie's event queue from login (1973)
- MonkeyDev loads without three red dialogs at login: an unknown frame type in an addon's XML is logged and skipped, as the reference does; only a script creating a frame of a bad type still raises (2191)

- addons load in the order NTFS lists a folder, case-insensitive with an underscore before the letters, the order the vanilla corpus was written against and the one that decides which addon provides a shared library (2178)
- GetNumAddOns and the index form of every AddOn verb walk a title-sorted list that hides the Blizzard addons the server says to hide, and the character-select AddOns list is in title order (2175)
- SetPoint and SetAllPoints raise the reference's own errors for a frame name that does not exist or an omitted relative frame instead of quietly anchoring to the parent, and an explicit nil means the screen root (2176)
- a tooltip owned with ANCHOR_CURSOR follows the mouse, which pfUI's tooltip, xpbar and chat modules, pfQuest's browser and TipBuddy ask for; an omitted or unknown anchor is ANCHOR_LEFT (2176)
- a $parent name handed to CreateFrame, CreateTexture or CreateFontString expands as it does in XML, so FonzAppraiser's thirty dropdowns and pfQuest's search icon get the names they asked for (2176)

- GetDodgeChance, GetParryChance and GetBlockChance answer the numbers the character sheet already had, so the addons that ask for them get a figure instead of a nil (2166)
- with Follow Terrain on, pressing mouse-look no longer jolts the view: the terrain lean folds into the angle you drag and comes back out on release, and smart pivot holds its bias while a server-driven turn runs (2165)
- entering water, the camera's pivot eases down to the model's own swimming height, so the eye no longer sits at a different height for the same zoom (2165)
- the camera's water collision is back as what the option actually is: with it on, the camera boom stops at a bare water surface instead of passing through it; the pivot corridor that snapped last time is not rebuilt (2170)

- hovering a nameplate lights its unit and clicking one selects it, pfUI's click-through works, a drag that starts on a plate still turns the camera, and turning plates off with V clears them (2159)
- Auctioneer's XML documents open (the reference has no XML namespaces), a .toc line reaching Blizzard_AuctionUI's templates resolves for Auctioneer, BeanCounter and SpecialTalentUI, and a missing include logs rather than raising the red error dialog (2155)
- a .lua reached through <Script file=> carries the same Interface\AddOns\ chunk name as a .toc-listed one, so Ace2's debugstack split works and AtlasLoot keys its database; 26 more corpus addons load, 176 of 219 (2155)
- the floating combat numbers draw in whatever DAMAGE_TEXT_FONT holds at world entry, so MikScrollingBattleText and pfUI pick the font (2156); a dodged swing prints no line and floats no word, and happiness leech lines print (2157)
- an unknown frameStrata in XML logs and keeps the default instead of raising, so EQL3's log window loads; FrameXML_Debug is a real switch, so ImprovedErrorFrame loads (2160)

- a slider with a value step snaps to it: a stepped drag fires once per row instead of once per pixel, a scrollbar cannot rest between two rows, and one wheel notch on the trainer list reaches the bottom (2133)
- setting a step on a live slider moves its value onto the new lattice and runs its handler, which an addon on the real client can count on (2143)
- a button pushed from script releases on the next mouse-up, so Tablet-2.0's rows stop staying pressed forever; a release off the button's rect un-presses it, and a locked state holds (2134)
- the mail body and the GM ticket box scroll as you type past their bottom, and the Use UI Scale checkbox reads a registered setting (2141)
- an engine warning, a call that was accepted and did nothing, reaches the /errors window in grey instead of one terminal line; a text row trimmed mid-character no longer kills the window's repaint (2135, 2138)

- on a 21:9 display the login, select and create chrome lays out on the boxed scene instead of the black bars beside it; at 16:9 nothing moves (B377, 2091)
- a <Model> tile draws only inside its own cell of the shared atlas, so the pet bar's autocast shine no longer bleeds a golden bar onto a bag slot's cooldown (B379, 2093); a slider's first value always fires its handler, so Atlas's options load (2095)
- a knockdown plays out: the reference locks the base animation for Knockdown, LiftOff and Land until the clip ends, and benilla re-picked Stand ten milliseconds in (2096)
- the loot window closes and releases the corpse on your first step, strafe, turn or jump, the reference's movement-start guard; a distance leash shipped first and was a mislabelled census row (2094 → 2097, B381)

- the bank window is the reference's own `BankFrame.xml` run off the player's chain — our 890-line copy is deleted whole; putting bags into the bank's bag slots works (the two verbs its buttons are wired to now exist), the purse is a real `SmallMoneyFrameTemplate` splitting 987654321 copper into three coin buttons instead of one string, `BANKFRAME_OPENED` loses the argument the real client never fires, and the bank stops auto-opening your bags while the vendor and mailbox keep doing it; the empty-slot click still plays the bag sound, because the reference's own line plays it on every click the cursor did not consume — named as faithful rather than quietly fixed
- underneath it, the bank's inventory band is a VIEW over the container feed, not a second copy — inventory ids 40..69 had answered nil because the doll array stops at 24, so the stock file swapped in would have drawn an empty bank; the six bank bag slots become real inventory slots (64..=69) fed off the player descriptor, the three bag verbs are carved from the binary (`PutItemInBackpack` IS `PutItemInBag(0xFF)` through a ten-byte thunk, the occupied-by-an-ordinary-item leg auto-stores with no destination slot at all, and the return is the Lua number 1 or nil — the nil being the whole reason a plain left-click opens a bag), and the swap caught `BankButtonIDToInvSlotID`'s bag arm six slots wrong: it took a bag number 1..6 where the reference passes the button's own id, which is the container id
- far sight freezes your own body while the view is out — the fifth conjunct of the movement predicates' shared precondition, joining the health term so the walk, the turn and the follow teardown go down together; both halves are load-bearing: the `IsActivePlayer` half is what keeps a Mind Control victim walking (possession rides the same PLAYER_FARSIGHT field), and the latch half is the RESOLVED engage rather than the raw field — and the camera is untouched, you still look around freely, which is the whole point of the spell
- the reset offer no longer outlives the character that earned it — log out after walking out of the Deadmines and your next character was offered a reset the first one had earned — and the one lockout leg no probe can ever reach (vmangos writes a last-instance map only from raid binds, which the client's handler discards as not-a-party-dungeon) is now covered end to end through the real system, its module doc saying plainly: tested and never observed

- a corpse is a body you can hover, cursor and click: it enters the same ray pass as units with the winner switched on type at publish (the reference's own shape — one trace over every object), the cursor classifier is transcribed whole (lootable-by-me → the pickup cursor, grayed by range; else the insignia leg behind the learned-skill latch; your own body falls through to the clear), and right-click is "not mounted AND lootable" → CMSG_LOOT; CORPSE_FIELD_FLAGS bit 5 is the PvP insignia flag, not "reclaimable" as an old note had it; the widening also caught that a GameObject anywhere on screen could steal the click from a nearer corpse, and that a left-click on a body cleared your target as if you had clicked ground
- the cinematic sweep closes eleven holes: a shot plays its sequence band's WIDTH, not its end — two shipped fly-bys band away from zero and ran long with their opening frames frozen (the Night Elf intro measured 102333 → 102000 ms); CMSG_NEXT_CINEMATIC_CAMERA announces every shot, the first included — the old "between shots" reading meant it was sent NEVER, since every 1.12 sequence row carries exactly one camera; the ack invariant is stated once (one CMSG_COMPLETE_CINEMATIC per accepted trigger, over-acking tolerated, under-acking never — a dropped ack despawns the world around you until relog); the hardware cursor hides for the shot; and the music cut lands in the frame that starts it — it was one frame late, exactly long enough for a first login's zone fanfare to start under the narration and be stamped as played
- RunBinding exists, and a fly-by stops handing the world its mouse: CinematicFrame's OnKeyDown hands the SCREENSHOT chord back to its binding through RunBinding, a global we never had, so every press during a fly-by raised and took no picture; and the mouse was fully live under a shot — right-drag turned the character, clicks picked targets through the flying camera, both buttons walked the body — so the pointer now reads as over the UI while a shot plays
- AdvanceTime and ReplaceIconTexture are carved off the bytes: AdvanceTime really is a no-op in the reference (its one reachable call is mov eax,1; ret), ReplaceIconTexture is a material swap over a model's type-14 texture slots that stores nothing on the widget, and SetModel(nil) RAISES — the "documented clear" our binding claimed was invented, not read; and the addon roster now says WHOSE package is short when a .toc names files the folder doesn't hold — nine of the corpus's twenty-nine load failures are the addon's own manifest, which the real client also shrugs off ("Couldn't open %s", carry on), so they stop reading as our defects

- a cinematic holds the body while the camera flies: the streaming focus follows the eye — a Tauren's intro opens 1741 yards from the body — so the body's own ground unloaded under it and it fell (z=59.4 to −62 in four seconds, the server yanking it back); it now takes the same hold a teleport takes, released when the focus comes home to a resident tile, and the loading screen stops covering the fly-by, because "the player's ground is missing" is not a load while the eye is deliberately elsewhere; the letterbox measurement prints as an ordinary info line, and scripts/cine.sh plays any one cinematic and prints what the client did to the world while the camera was away
- a cinematic cuts the zone music: the reference asserts exactly what /console EnableMusic 0 asserts, through the same setter — a cut, not a fade, the music pump dead for the duration, resume at +3.000 s — and benilla asserts the runtime flag, never the CVar, or quitting during a 102-second intro would save your music off for good; ambience is deliberately untouched (it has the analogous flag and the cinematic never writes it); the narration has no category at all — its flags route it around every volume slider but not around the Enable Sound Effects gate, so unchecking that silences it — and the listener follows the cinematic camera for the duration
- addons can walk a UI they did not build: GetChildren/GetNumChildren/GetRegions/GetNumRegions land — the basis of the whole reskin genre, and the wall four of the twenty most-installed 1.12 addons died on: pfUI drew nothing before and now paints 495 quads, ShaguDPS 71 → 566, pfQuest 3 → 498 — with the reference's own quirks: the title region is NOT in the list (its creation path never reaches the region linker), hidden regions are returned and counted, oldest first; the Model widget gets its Lua surface (SetModel, SetSequence and siblings, read out of the shipped image, where SetRotation and SetFacing are two names for one slot); and the Minimap carries the nine engine-created Model children no XML declares, built before the frame descent, the ninth being the player arrow Questie indexes as ({Minimap:GetChildren()})[9]
- all seven chat windows come from one template, tabs and scroll buttons included — whether a window is shown has nothing to do with whether its globals resolve, and pfUI reads every piece of that furniture for all seven, unguarded; isDocked only on windows 1 and 2 (the chat-cache's own DOCKED byte), SELECTED_CHAT_FRAME seated beside DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME (the window you last picked vs the one FrameXML prints to), and the four per-window fields ChatFrame_OnLoad seats; two more one-name walls fell — a Button's label answers to its second spelling NormalText, which KLHThreatMeter's column headers die without, and ABANDON_QUEST_WITH_ITEMS is declared because a dialog table is read at load whatever the client later shows, leaving Questie with zero errors of ours — and the addon harness gains --probe/--eval, one addon's VM answering a question in ~5 s instead of a 90 s corpus run

- 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

- `--surface` re-runs the comparison against the captured in-world global table on demand, and `--surface-dump` writes our raw side for any tool to join — a one-shot measurement stops drifting
- CreateFrame with an unresolvable template raises exactly as the client does, instead of handing back a bare frame; `inherits=` is one name, matched case-insensitively
- CreateFontString and CreateTexture honour their third argument — 49 corpus call sites were passing an inherit into the void
- the addon-message inbound byte map is corrected (a test had agreed with the wrong constants), and the group-loot roll template publishes under the reference's own name

- GetObjectType and IsObjectType land from the binary's own carve, with the client's exact inheritance answers
- the survey seats money and a quest log — sixteen addons call GetMoney, five walk the quest log, and none of those paths had ever run
- `date("*t")` returns its table form; the missing shape was an infinite loop for any addon walking days backwards
- unit tokens fold case like the client's resolver, and a FontString template carries the font object it inherits through the whole chain

- every ranked list now states what it dropped and `--deep` reads the whole tail — a silent top-16 over 1,946 rows had already produced one wrong "nothing left" conclusion
- the backpack and equipped gear take their seats beside the spellbook, and a rankless spell's rank comes back "" rather than nil
- a FontString answers the full Region method map as one set — a text region's GetParent works — and RaidWarningFrame and PanelTemplates_Tab_OnClick arrive for the addons that name them
- SetRaidTargetIconTexture lands: the half of a raid mark an addon draws with

- GetInventorySlotInfo folds case the way the client does, and gains the twelve bag-slot rows the shipped data really carries
- ChatTypeGroup exists for addons that register their own chat types at file scope — one missing table was taking five addons down
- GetChannelList answers in join order, shaped by the addons that consume it, and the harness's `--why` can now open any demand count
- the survey seats a spellbook, and the shapeshift bar's shelf art exists hidden, both exposing paths an empty fixture could never reach
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the justify verbs had been written three times and drifted three ways; one implementation now serves the region, font-object and message-frame tables, and a cleared axis paints centre, as the client's draw path really does
- MessageFrame and ScrollingMessageFrame gain the ten-verb font block they were missing entirely, so font calls on message frames stop raising
- EnableKeyboard and IsKeyboardEnabled land as real Frame methods — eight addons were dying on their absence
- the harness's METHODS ranking states its own limits instead of reading as a build queue
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the corpus harness now seats a buff, a target and a ticking cooldown instead of an empty world, so "nothing to draw" and "failed to draw" stop sharing a row — and the richer seat immediately exposed two real gaps
- an addon button inheriting our action-button template now works even when it replaces the template's OnLoad: the handlers resolve their regions by name, the way the reference does on every access
- more of the reference's hidden-by-default frames exist by name — ReputationWatchBar, MiniMapBattlefieldFrame, MiniMapMeetingStoneFrame — for the addons that reposition them
- StartSizing lands beside its stop verb, and the sourced bag-anchor code runs against windows we actually build

- 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

- benilla loads real 1.12 addons from Interface/AddOns — TOC, XML and Lua through one loader, with per-addon saved variables, Bindings.xml and the lifecycle events addons expect
- both AddOns screens are in: the character-select list with per-addon enable state, and the ESC menu's in-game list
- the API surface is measured, not guessed — a corpus harness runs hundreds of real 1.12 addons and ranks exactly which globals, templates and verbs they demand
- the Lua dialect is the client's own, read off the binary — 5.0 semantics with the 1.12 additions, and UI source files are bytes, not UTF-8
