This checkout had no git history at all, so this one commit carries the whole
of the Everwood work as a single import on top of chairmanpow/benilla-octo's
`main` (706cd71). The two trees have genuinely diverged — each has files the
other does not — so this is a fork point, not a catch-up.
Today's work, which is the reason a baseline exists at all:
- Booth previews no longer cast world shadows (`NO_BOOTH_SHADOW`). Portrait
characters were entering the sun's shadow cascades, so every skinned-rig
shadow specialization compiled live mid-frame; the hitch detector logged
"main thread blocked 1316 ms" beside a `compiled LIVE` warning. This was
the Fashion/Tmog stutter.
- Per-pane dress-up: each `DressUpModel` pane assembles and stages its own
tried-on look instead of every pane mirroring the live player.
- Item template cache is append-only JSONL written on the IO pool, replacing
an 11.6 MB whole-map JSON rewrite on the main thread every 10 s.
- `WOW_SYSTEM_TIMING` rebuilt per-thread: it took 2 mutexes per system enter
and 4 per exit, costing 15 ms a frame (590 fps -> 60) and corrupting the
measurements it was taken to produce.
- The visibility-churn sweep moved to its own `WOW_FLASH_CHURN` switch, so a
frame-cost reading no longer pays 2.7 ms a frame for it.
Local state (`benilla-config/`, `logs/`, `target/`) is excluded by the
existing .gitignore; the account credential it holds is not in this commit.

Player reports and the trace, in one batch.
- SetFactionInactive/SetFactionActive raise `UPDATE_FACTION`, so the list moves at once.
- NPC greetings: the latch, a dead unit, then the reaction pair with the active mover (`0x60c270`); a dead or ghost player hears none. Only a passing click re-tracks the NPC, and a window hello resets it (`0x60c3d1`).
- "You are now <rank> with <faction>." prints on first contact and rank change (`0x62c670`), in packet order, with the real gender.
- A standing packet prints its "increased by" line for the first entry only, never a hidden one (`0x4d57dd`).
- `WOW_MOVE_TRACE` carries each packet's bytes as hex; chat bodies are opt-in, and dot/bang commands and channel passwords are always redacted.
Tests cover each gate, the line order and the redaction.

Floating combat text picks the wrong outcome word for mitigated hits, partly mitigated spell hits, damage-over-time ticks and one spell-miss code. Each now follows the reference's own emitter.
Fixes#42. Fixes#43. Fixes#89. Fixes#349.
- **Melee partials (#42):** tested resist (`0x629efd`), then block (`0x629f15`), then absorb (`0x629f30`); benilla tested absorb first.
- **Direct spell hits (#43):** a landed hit words its first partial as `0x62cd80` does: `SPELL_RESISTED`, else `SPELL_BLOCKED` (carrying the blocked amount), else `SPELL_ABSORBED`, else `SPELL_DAMAGE`; a zero-damage hit tests absorbed, blocked, resisted. The wider cause: benilla applied the direct words to every `SMSG_SPELLNONMELEEDAMAGELOG`. The reference's handler (`0x5e85e0`) sends split damage to `SPLIT_DAMAGE` (`0x62de60`) and a periodic log, gated on `CombatLogPeriodicSpells` (`0x62d9ae`), to the periodic emitter; the text now routes the same three ways.
- **Damage ticks (#89):** a landed tick words `RESIST`, else `ABSORB`, else `DAMAGE` (`0x628100`: `0x628354`, `0x62836c`, `0x62837f`); a zero-damage tick words `SPELL_ABSORBED`, else `SPELL_RESISTED`.
- **Spell-miss codes (#349):** the jump table at `0x62be10` sends code 10, 1 and 12 and up to `SPELL_MISSED` (`0x62bdc3`), and code 0 fires nothing.
Tests: six tests in `combat_log/text.rs`; the two over existing functions fail on the old code, and the new routing is covered by three more. `scripts/check.sh` is green.
To see it (Floating Combat Text on, "Show Damage Reduction" on): a damage-over-time tick now scrolls as damage, "-N", and a partly resisted tick as "N (M resisted)"; a partly resisted spell hit reads "300 (100 resisted)" instead of "-300".

Part of #41: the last of five `benilla-app` pieces. This one is everything the others did not cover: the addon harness, the settings registry, the glue screens (login, realm list, character select and create), key bindings, the minimap, nameplates, the loading screen, transports, the performance instruments, the smaller modules, the integration tests, and the UI asset files (`OptionsFrame.xml`, `benilla.toc` and the rest). Their comments are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 27,351 comment lines become 11,010.
Fixes#33. Fixes#103.
- **The mechanical strip.** The citations that were only a private record number go first, and each edit is shown to be a pure removal.
- **Wrong facts corrected.** The rewrite corrects the comments that stated wrong facts. Among them:
- The weapon trail's emissive is 0 (`0x70ca30`): the trail is a type-5 render record, so its ambient-only light term is exact.
- The camera-style dropdown writes "1", "2", "0" (`UIOptionsFrame.lua:525,536,547`); several register-site addresses in the settings table are corrected.
- The graphics settings are held until `RestartGx`, as in 1.12; `Fonts.xml`'s early load no longer carries a false reason.
- vmangos sends a player-name invalidation after a rename (`CharacterHandler.cpp:839`), and the cinematic camera's announce packet has an empty handler there (`MiscHandler.cpp:919`).
- Stock FrameXML and GlueXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files, and vmangos line citations against the pinned revision.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with its recorded reason. Declining to copy a reference defect is stated plainly, and so is an unbuilt behaviour or an untraced one.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, apart from test literals in `login/`, `death/` and `ui_script/death_tests.rs` that now use placeholder account and character names, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Six second readers compared every file old against new, restored the facts the rewrite had dropped, and checked each new citation against the code, the stock files, vmangos and the reference.
A second commit corrects one comment in `benilla-ui` (`unit_is_grey`: the reference's exclusion is players only). A third lowers `ui_script_wall`'s ceiling from 45 to 40: five gameplay files named `UiScript` only in comments the rewrite removed, and the ratchet asks for the number to follow.
Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#339 to #353 among them). String literals are untouched; they are #92.

Comments that pointed into the maintainer's private reverse-engineering notes (a note by name, a
path, a section or finding id, the analysis's own name for a client function, a process word) now
carry the fact itself, cited by the reference client's address, by vmangos file and line, or as
"the reference". Nobody outside could follow those pointers.
Comment text only, plus the test-assert and log strings that carried the same pointers. No claim
changes: a comment the notes have since corrected keeps its wording here, and correcting it is
separate work.
The two reference generators, `scripts/gen-reference-globals.py` and
`scripts/gen-reference-verb-events.py`, named the private notes' layout to find their inputs. They
now take the input files as arguments (`--capture`, `--framexml`, `--names`, `--extents`,
`--disasm`). Run on the same inputs, both write the committed tables row for row; only the two
header lines that named the old environment variable change.
Checked per file:
- the code is identical: each file with its comments stripped compares equal before and after; a
changed string literal is compared under a mask that proves only literal text moved and every
literal kept its line count;
- no client address the old text cited was dropped;
- a second reviewer checked every added address against its derivation;
- a detector for the notes' names, paths, ids, function names and process words finds none left;
- `scripts/gates.sh` is green.

- a creature walking a path no longer cuts its first corner: the path's first waypoint was dropped at decode (2342)
- two characters whose names differ only in accented or non-Latin letters no longer share macros, bindings and SavedVariables; a file that failed to load is not overwritten at logout (2342)
- custom chat channels survive a logout, a collapsed quest header keeps its quests watched, and a trackpad swipe scrolls as far as it adds up to (2342)
- a hearth off a zeppelin no longer lands back on its deck, and an opened lockbox with loot left in it unlocks (2342)
- every snapshot runs on Vulkan, in a container, before it ships (2344)

- the pet, the group, the death arc, the animation layer, the combat log and the chat window register their own packet handlers (2321-2323)
- the spell gets a home of its own; the world feed, the name queries and the session register theirs, and the broadcast list retires (2324-2326)
- the object layer goes last: every packet the client decodes has a handler, and the dispatch match and its three staging maps are gone (2327)
