- the name cache persists to `benilla-config/cache/<realm>.tsv`, because the reference's `namecache.wdb` / `petnamecache.wdb` do and that is why it never sees the races we lost every time — unstabling a pet raised `Usage: SetText("text")` off an unresolved `UnitName("pet")`; the header carries magic, format, build, locale and realm and any mismatch discards the file (no checksum, no TTL: eviction is explicit only, via `SMSG_INVALIDATE_PLAYER`, decoded now and never sent by vmangos), negatives persist too, written on a 10 s debounce and at exit; a stable list also seeds the pet-name cache from the names it already carries
- `SMSG_NOTIFICATION` is the red UIErrorsFrame toast, not a chat line — `.gm on` printed twice because vmangos sends both a system message and a notification and both were rendered as chat; the stand-in dated from before the errors frame existed; `SMSG_AREA_TRIGGER_MESSAGE` moves with it on the yellow arm (its handler ends `xor edx,edx` — flag 0 — where the notification's is flag 1)
- the target frame's dead text is the GlobalString `DEAD` = "Dead" resolved through `text=` like the target-of-target frame, not the key typed into `SetText` in caps, and it takes `UnitIsConnected` so a disconnected player does not read as dead; a shipped-script sweep now refuses any key-shaped literal handed to a text sink; and the Help window is one click deep — Home's button opens the ticket text box, Auto-Unstuck sits beside it, and a ticket files as category 0, which a GM's queue names "Unknown" (a guard added days earlier refused 0 on reasoning from the enum rather than from the function that reads it)

- the target-of-target frame and its option: 1.12's frame with its five display modes, fed one hop off the selected unit's own target field through the same read `/assist` runs, in four feeds (snapshot and transitions, the debuff buttons, the portrait booth, TargetUnit's click arm); ships off, as 1.12 does, on its own pair of saved globals
- talents can be unlearned again: the trainer's `MSG_TALENT_WIPE_CONFIRM` had no handler since the wipe flow was deferred, so the gossip line closed the menu and did nothing — the question is an NPC session (walking away retracts it), the popup shows the cost on the StaticPopup money variant, Accept answers it behind the client's own purse check
- Sprint's sparkles hang in the air behind you along the trail instead of collapsing into your torso: ride-vs-trail is the emitter's own file flag 0x10, not the host class — the finding wow-re returned eighteen days ago and nobody folded; the particle dump names the two flag bits it had been mis-reporting
- `/sleep` takes both movement masks (the strictest posture), correcting the day's sit gate which let you lie down on a lake bottom while `/sit` was refused; a Lua-driven selection (TargetUnit on an attackable token) starts the swing exactly as a click does, through the one select path

- party members appear on the world map at their position and hovering names them — the party wire has carried each member's zone and coordinates since the group arc; the blip and the minimap dot read one shared position so they can never disagree, and the member's zone picks which continent the position belongs to
- the player's own frame wears the leader crown and the master-looter icon, with the reference's own asymmetry (the crown asks IsPartyLeader, the member frames compare a leader index)
- a party member outside your local area gets the generic race/sex portrait instead of an empty circle — their race and sex ride the name query, and nothing had asked for a member we never see; the roster now warms that cache, which also fills the raid grid's class column
- right-clicking a member who is nowhere near grays Trade, Inspect, Duel and Follow: the reference's bindings answer nil for a unit the object manager does not hold (carved this session), where ours defaulted "absent = in range" for exactly the farthest member; and the group-invite popup's background is measured faithful — the plate draws at the BLP's own 60% alpha

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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
