- dialogs carry the reference's toplevel bit, so the stack-split window opens above Bagnon instead of behind it
- the failure line fills its blank — "Requires Blacksmith Hammer", not "Requires" — and Opening casts stop printing a label the spell itself marks "no text"
- the pet bar's Attack/Follow/Stay tooltips name their keybinding, and typed text reaches the focused frame through the client's own delivery walk
- AtlasLoot parses again: our Lua keeps 5.0's compatibility semicolon
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a real skill-up prints its line; the lines the client keeps silent — class specs, racials, mounts — stay silent, off the game's own flag
- the stack-split dialog draws whole: its plate fills the window
- the four bag-bar buttons speak the reference's names all the way down, so Bagnon's overrides catch them and the backpack button lights while its window is open
- regions anchor at creation — the client's implicit-anchor law replaces a pile of draw-time fallbacks
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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- one addon load law: a single arbiter for "can this addon load, and why not", with the out-of-date version gate live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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ReloadUI() tears the UI down and rebuilds it in place without leaving the world — the reference's own pair, one frame apart
- a model's particle clouds and ribbon trails are admitted by one rule — distance, far clip, frustum, window, room — and a building's light sources ride their rooms too, so torches stop lighting receivers through walls
- a mouse-wheel notch is a press and its release, dispatched in the same frame as the reference does
- the binding registry is checked against the install's own Bindings.xml and DefaultBindings.wtf, so its transcribed defaults cannot drift silently
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the in-game UI ends at the character screen and is rebuilt at the next login, so addons that read the character at file scope stop being frozen on whoever logged in first
- everything the host remembers about a UI is keyed on that VM's identity — keybinds, macro icons and every feed survive the rebuild instead of silently pushing nothing
- a ribbon trail rides the room its model is drawn by: Caverns of Time's ninety energy trails stop burning through 200 yards of rock
- the visibility census gains the sky and ribbon lanes it could not see, and the logout leak probe measures after the release instead of accusing every run

- GetStringWidth answers the moment the text is set — the client's width law is a per-glyph table, no shaping pass — so Bagnon's character dropdown stops collapsing to 40 pixels
- a chat channel keeps its number when another channel leaves: Trade stays /2 through a teleport
- the login splash, the zone music and the minimap label wait for the world under the player instead of announcing whatever tile happened to be loaded
- ending a session empties the chat window and the input box's history
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the zone-channel walk waits for real ground under the player, so login stops joining and leaving channels for zones you were never in
- the channel session ends with the character: a character switch no longer replays the old channels into the new session
- emoting at yourself goes out untargeted — "You wave.", exactly as the client sends it
- a body that is not in the scene casts no shadow, names nothing and cannot be clicked; and being attached to a body is not the same as being allowed to move it
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the active mover is a marker on the body in your hands: a mind-controlled creature drives with its own speeds and turn rate, and your identity never follows it
- a control packet is about that body, not about you — a fear on the thing you drive no longer tears the possession down
- your own turn rate reads live mover state, so speed and turn auras it previously ignored now apply
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a channel line renders in the channel family's color, not the grey notice row the client consults and throws away
- a text emote composes its sentence — gender and target picked from the game's own tables — so a /wave is a line in chat, not just an animation
- a FontString's `font=` resolves a font object by name and gates the whole block, `<Gradient>` tints the art it sits on, and buttons' state fonts read `font=` too — Bagnon's white boxes and bare stack counts are fixed
- the money frame sizes its coins from the digits themselves, so Bagnon's gold stops opening cramped
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the server picks the view and the mover independently — far sight moves the eye, client control moves the reins, and Mind Control sets both, which is why its camera works for free
- while you hold another body's reins your own stands still, so the server never smears your pose onto the creature you drive
- the Ornate Spyglass is a local 6x zoom, not a camera move — there was never a wire half to be missing
- the scene election fails closed: three classes of creature that escaped it are back under its verdict
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- lava and slime surfaces creep on the building path — the two liquid types the reference animates, and only those
- particle blend 1 is AlphaKey: the rock elemental throws tumbling chips instead of flat pale squares
- standing in a sealed room, outdoor creatures are never submitted to the scene at all — the reference's own election, not a hide
- an animation clip's arm frame fires no event keys, matching the client's walker rule frame for frame
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the terrain's impassable-chunk flag is parsed and fenced the way the binary fences it — all four sides, floored, rising only — so movement stops exactly where 1.12.1 stops
- a vertex normal authored as all zeros is legal content: the normalize is guarded, and the flat-black sleeves and skirts get their lighting back — a corpus sweep found 73 affected models nobody had filed
- Caverns of Time's asteroid belts turn: a rigid bone needs no rig
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- forty files that carried the reference's literal Lua are rewritten as our own expression of the behaviour — worst identical run 61 lines down to 7 — and the README now says exactly that
- the overlap gate measures the code itself across all four reference corpora, and ratchets: the number may only go down
- a lost session ends at the login screen instead of silently re-authenticating and stealing the account back
- a building's skybox is a real model: Caverns of Time's white ceiling becomes its painted nebula and additive stars
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- an animated doodad is culled by its authored box, not its bind pose — the one-yard bird flying a 64-yard circuit stops vanishing with the camera angle — and the fix survives the engine's own bound recompute
- the logon proof answers the server's version challenge instead of sending zeros, so a strict realmd stops rejecting benilla as a modified client
- two instruments land: a frame-by-frame visibility trace for one model, and a probe that classifies whether a realmd enforces the version check
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the Character window's third tab is in: faction rows under their headers, standing bars, the detail popup and the watch bar, at the reference's own anchors
- all four reputation opcodes parse byte-exact, the flag byte reads the way the client reads it, and a standing gain reveals the faction unless it is hidden
- an end-to-end golden drives live wire bytes through the game data to the exact visible row list
- the reference-code overlap is measured by an instrument instead of asserted — the start of a debt paid in full later in the day
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `--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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the one shared region table splits into the client's own maps: a Texture no longer answers SetText, a FontString no longer answers SetTexture, and feature-detecting addons see the true surface
- CreateTitleRegion lands whole — object and drag — so an options window that is its own drag handle actually moves
- font-object names resolve whatever their case, and the CursorUpdate/CursorOnUpdate pair arrives for the container-item templates
- GetStringHeight is pruned (1.12 has no such method) and SetPortraitToTexture moves to the global it really is
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- every addon VM runs under an instruction bound, so a non-terminating loop becomes a report — and the bound promptly caught a landed fix that had been left switched off
- an unrecognised unit token raises the client's own "Unknown unit name" error instead of answering nil
- GetBindLocation answers from a real bind point, and RequestTimePlayed round-trips with TIME_PLAYED_MSG — both halves or neither
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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 main bar's page arrows page for real, with the reference's own rule that a page a shown multibar displays is not also reachable by paging
- `<Include file="X.lua">` executes the file the way the client does — dispatch on the extension — so an addon pulling its libraries through XML stops losing them
- UIParentLoadAddOn lands, the on-demand loader behind every "open the panel" path
- nine constants take the reference's names back (NUM_GROUP_LOOT_FRAMES and friends — an addon reads the real name, not our prefix), and UnitCreatureType answers through the client's own three-stage resolver
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>
- SendAddonMessage sends on the real 1.12 lane — an ordinary chat message wearing the addon-language sentinel — across the party, raid, guild and battleground channels, byte-verified in the client binary
- the receive half fires CHAT_MSG_ADDON with the client's own four-argument shape, and the two halves are round-tripped against each other so they cannot drift apart silently
- the `|`-escape scan is carved from the binary: colour escapes inside a message survive exactly as the real client allows them
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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- entering the world or teleporting could crash: the cold-breath classifier touched a unit the streamed world had just despawned, and the deferred insert panicked on the dead entity — it now tolerates the race
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the workspace pointed at third_party/lua-src (the Lua 5.1 fork the addon VM builds on) and the export left that folder behind — every build of today's snapshots broke at dependency resolution
- third_party/ now ships, and the sync gained a gate that refuses to publish an export that does not resolve as a cargo workspace
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a player build ships beside the dev one — dev chords and probe surfaces go dark, and a gate enforces what a player can still reach, by medium not by module
- the binary carries its own shaders and its shipped UI, finds the WoW folder by itself, and keeps its local state in one benilla-config folder
- the glue screens get a capture shutter, and the engine stops depending on the protocol crate
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the world engine splits from the game into a benilla-world crate — 112 files, and the wall is ratcheted to zero names of the game inside the engine
- the engine's public doorway is counted and gated at 32 items, and the render materials, shaders and asset cache move down to benilla-assets
- the game's files leave the engine's asset root — game:// is its own space — and a spike binary boots the engine with no game attached
- weather rides along: snowfall emission is denominated in the reference's frame cap, and a long teleport retires the stranded precipitation field instead of leaving it behind
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- timed quests get their countdown — a Quest Timers box under the minimap and a Time Remaining line in the quest log, kept against the server's own clock
- interiors go honest: footsteps stop crunching the terrain's snow through a building's floor, and tavern voices are authored dry, so the fake cave echo is gone
- snow is the reference's again — point-sprite flakes at the era's pixel size, and a spawn slab that leans into your run so a runner no longer outruns the field
- Stormwind stops drawing Elwynn through its walls, a looted quest crate's lid settles, cold zones puff visible breath, and the collect-quest toast fires only on a real advance
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Mouse Sensitivity and Max Camera Distance are real settings now, not frozen constants
- Status Bar Text is wired through: value/max numerals on the player and pet frames' bars, live the moment the switch flips
- Shift+W walks — a modified press falls back once to the bare binding, the reference's own two-probe lookup
- the steep-face response is horizontal only, ending the extra slide when jumping nearly straight at a slope
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the options window gains Interface, Action Bars and Social pages — buff durations, the action-bar lock and the social switches are live settings
- a saved switch is applied when it loads, not just restored to its row
- jumping at an unwalkable slope costs the jump instead of banking height up the hillside
- the airborne animation starts at the launch, not at the falling flag — and the saved camera pitch is verified against the reference
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- minimap zoom and the camera's distance and pitch persist across sessions
- the trainer's point-filter is a saved variable now and survives a relog, resetting per packet like the reference
- the options window gains its Combat page, over rows that can write the UI's own saved globals
- the step-up is a rise, not a jump forward — and the descent cone's cap belongs to the body, on every leg
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the step-up and step-down budgets are the client's own verified numbers, and the step regime is chosen by the blocking edge
- walking off a kerb follows the surface down instead of diving past the edge; steep ground supports you only while you are descending onto it
- a ride on a moving platform survives the ground snap, and a vertical wall no longer depends on a float's sign
- trainer and craft rows sort with the real client's own comparators, one per window — Beast Training lists a skill's ranks in ascending order again
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a left click that starts on a unit targets on release even while the drag orbits the camera — the real client's 200/800 ms click law, with the pick latched at the press
- a deliberate orbit held past the window does not retarget on release; click and orbit are independent mechanisms now, not rivals
- a low edge rides the foot cone instead of popping the body to the top
- the step-up certifies its advance by body radius, not by one frame's travel
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the Great Forge's lava stays drawn from every angle, and the chasm catwalk reads as a connected grate again
- music decoding and shader-compile bursts stop crowding the audio's lane, and the output buffer follows the device's real deadline
- the audio path grows its instruments: a mix tap to WAV, a starvation meter, a hardware overload listener
- trainer detail icons carry the reference's own tooltip
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- clicking a book in the world opens it and turns its pages: letters and world books share one reader
- the cursor's object rules are the client's own 31-row strategy table now, so decorative objects stop pretending to be usable
- trainer and tradeskill windows draw each row's icon by the reference's own law, and the trainer's filter dropdown toggles again
- water color follows the zone's light blend, so lakes stop snapping between area tints
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- resting flashes the zzz on your portrait, the XP bar fills its rested blue, and the exhaustion tick rides the bar with hover numerals
- a dual-wielded pair keeps both hands in the dressing room
- a footfall plays one sound, not two
- the minimap wears the time-of-day clock, and the keybinding capsules go back to 1.12's red
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ctrl-click an item to try it on: the dressing room dresses your double, and shift-click posts the item link to chat
- the pet tab lands in the character window: paper doll stats, family and diet, the right-click menu, and dropping food on the pet feeds it
- water-only spells refuse on dry land: aquatic form gates to swimming, client-side like the real one
- the macro icon picker's white squares get their art back, and option rows explain themselves on hover
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the spellbook's pet tab lists what the pet knows, with autocast toggled right on the page
- pet ability cooldowns sweep on the pet bar, and the bar binds to 1.12's Secondary Action Button keys
- the options window scrolls its pages in a real trough with seated arrows, nothing overflows the frame anymore
- Esc un-queues a queued strike, and a hostile unit's frame stops showing buffs the real client hides
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- feign death plays dead for real: the body collapses and stays down, both bars read 0 and DEAD, the nameplate drops, the combat hum goes quiet
- melee and Auto Shot are exclusive now: starting one stops the other, even mid-swing
- another client's addon chatter no longer prints as party chat
- right-click presses look pressed, rage and happiness read on their real scale, and the login boxes blink their caret
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- drink enough and the screen blurs and your walk meanders, the camera carried along with the stagger; the underwater blur ships in the same lane
- boots leave prints on snow and sand that fade away in about six seconds, paws and hooves included
- key bindings move into the Options window with the rest of the settings, and action buttons abbreviate their hotkeys the way the client does
- the pet bar rearranges by drag, a running pet spell shows its active icon and a click cancels it, and spell ribbons follow their verified physics
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- every rebindable key runs through one chord-to-command engine, set in the era Key Bindings window, and buttons show their real keys
- a spell aimed at the ground sends its projectile to that spot, arcing to the point instead of a target
- a pet ordered onto something it can't attack refuses cleanly, and its frame shows the happiness face read from the client's own data
- a window's tabs clamp to the drawn edge and highlight exactly where they sit
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the pet gets its own unit frame beside yours, and an Attack order no longer latches as the standing command
- five rooms that always read bone dry hold their water now, the Deeprun Tram's flooded stretches among them
- macros fire through the client's own chat door, and the macro window fits its tabs and scrolls its icon chooser
- the options window grows a Nameplates page and its first dropdown, and the name-display switches apply live in the world
