- the eight heaviest UI feeds — spellbook, party, character, bags, talents, units, pet, player — rebuild only when an input moved instead of every frame: 216 → 12 µs a frame parked
- the character window's cost settles once it closes: enchant countdowns feed by the second instead of firing an inventory event into all 20 slots every frame, the paper-doll booth parks with its camera, and a window hidden under the cursor fires OnLeave so its tooltip goes with it — the reference's hover-hide law
- the walk stops paying for finished work: the loading-screen tally's per-placement walk latches off once the world is ready, the settled placement spawner is one integer compare, and billboards stop dirtying every card's transform
- never-rendering hierarchy nodes — rig anchors, joints, doodad hosts — keep the hide chain but leave the per-camera visibility sweep: 25,198 → 18,026 swept entities at Goldshire

- VSync is a player setting on the Graphics page now — 1.12's own gxVSync, persisted like every other CVar — instead of a dev-HUD checkbox
- the perf HUD collapses to one surface that says everything once, at a deliberate, governed width; the badge stops crying wolf
- the idle chat dock stops repainting itself every frame — the fade applier gets the gate the reference carries twice over, and hovering still reveals the hidden tabs
- the tick can name who spent it: per-handler self/total attribution at the one seam where every handler fires

- 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

- 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
