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.

Same fork policy: upstream structure wins, local-unique re-instated.
Cargo.toml unions both measured dev-profile philosophies (codegen-units=1 +
lto=off from samwhosung, debug=line-tables-only + split-debuginfo from the
fork's disk measurements).
glue_booth.rs takes samwhosung's typed GlueScene (token/of_race/from_model_path)
and re-adds the fork's TurtleWoW races (Goblin=9, BloodElf=10) as variants;
their glue fog stays on Human's row, exactly as the fork's scene_fog fallback did.
ui script takes samwhosung's mouseover/hyperlink rework (world_mouseover,
minimap_blip, hyperlink.rs) over the fork's inline hover_link/span_at/pointer
path — the rework covers the same OnHyperlinkEnter/Leave behaviour.
game_plugins.rs keeps the fork's re-measured ceilings (466 / 5,509); mail.rs
keeps the explicit 13-tuple with a float daysLeft; MAP.md takes the superset.
Fork policy (docs/METHOD.md): upstream structure wins; local-unique work
re-applied on top. This commit is the upstream half of the reconciliation.
Upstream is the same program at a rewritten history (884dff77 == 4e0e89cb
tree), so the merge base was replaced to keep a real three-way diff. The
large conflicts are upstream moving first: the UI manifest (benilla.toc ->
the binary LAYER_MANIFEST/layer.toc split), the CVar table (cvars.rs ->
cvars/{mod,table}.rs, +24 video rows), the editbox flush model, the
host-side GetTime, the Options* -> BenillaOptions* rename, expanded
ui_unit.rs, and a rebuilt volumetric_light.rs.
Local-unique pieces re-instated on the upstream structure:
- OptionsFrame.xml: the 1.12 OptionsFrameSliders table restored under the
Benilla rename, with the TurtleWoW deviation note (patch-4 replaces
OptionsFrame.lua).
- layer.toc: CharacterFrameAdapters.xml (the sixth TurtleWoW character tab).
- ui script: wipe/sizeof, BenillaGetMerchantItemStats, and the attach/mount
teardown re-walk all survive.
- game_plugins.rs keeps UPDATE_ACTIONABLE_CEILING=5_509 (re-measure pending).
The LFT/Turtle_TransmogUI rows benilla.toc named off the player's install
now come from the chain's own FrameXML.toc via the new core loader.
Part 4a of the stock GlueXML (`WOW_GLUE_STOCK=1`): character select's roster.
- The select verbs run on the reference's roster (`0x4736c0`): `GetCharacterInfo` (race and class from `Name_Lang`), `SelectCharacter` with its clamp and event, the facing gate, and `GetCharacterListUpdate`. They are backed by the roster load and teardown (`0x4724d0`, `0x472580`) and screen state 3.
- Under the stock screens the character list is fetched only when the screen asks, as `0x46b880` does. The world connect completes on the auth response (`0x5aab80`), not on a roster.
- Every character-park request goes through one ordered channel. A roster reply completes only the current link's query. A late auth after a cancel is dropped, Warden stays terminal, and a failed list shows `CHAR_LIST_FAILED`.
The native screens are unchanged. Fake-server tests cover the ordering, the cancel, the realm change and the native policy.

The char-create catalog compared `CharBaseInfo` against the stock 1.12 rows exactly and bailed
on any difference. TurtleWoW adds class combos (Human Hunter, Orc Mage, Dwarf Warlock, ...), so
the whole catalog failed to load: `body_display` was unavailable and the glue booth assembled no
body on both the create and select screens. The creatable set is now read from `CharBaseInfo`
(the stock eight, or a patched chain's more), the stock rows are a subset guard against a
misparse, and race 9 (Goblin) and 10 (BloodElf) load their display, dial ranges and outfit like
the shipped eight.
The chain's `ChrRaces` row 10 is `BloodElf`, not the "High Elf" the code named it, and
`scene_token` mapped 9/10 to Human, so a Blood Elf stood on the Human stage. Both now resolve
(`UI_Goblin`, `UI_BloodElf`) and the display name is "Blood Elf"; the fileString is what the
race stage keys on.
The create screen hard-coded the eight vanilla races. It now splits the catalog's creatable set
into the Alliance and Horde columns, so a TurtleWoW chain shows five rows per column (Blood Elf
appended to the Alliance, Goblin to the Horde), with the tower and lower clusters shifted to
match its XML. Race-icon UVs are computed from the loaded sheet's size, so the stock four-column
sheet and TurtleWoW's widened eight-column sheet both read correctly.
`CharCreateCatalog::load`'s misparse guard demanded each race's `CharBaseInfo` classes equal the shipped set exactly. A patch that adds a race/class row therefore failed the load, and without the catalog the create screen is disabled and the glue preview stands no body. 1.12.1's class-list builder (`0x4706b0`) lists every `CharBaseInfo` row for the selected race, skipping only Dwarf+Mage (`0x4706e3`-`0x4706ec`), so the patched class appears there.
The guard, now `shipped_combos_present`, requires every shipped pair to be present and lets extra pairs through, so a misparse that loses a row still refuses. `a_patched_combo_passes_the_guard_and_a_lost_one_does_not` fails under the old exact-match rule. Built and gated on macOS.

Part of #41: the comments of `benilla-formats` (the library, its extract tools, examples and tests) are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 19,654 comment lines become 7,264.
Fixes#105: the WMO collision comments now name walking's box-query leaf `0x6bca50` and the camera and line-of-sight segment-query leaf `0x6bc700`, in `models/collision.rs`, `examples/wmo_bsp.rs` and `tests/chain.rs`.
- **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:
- A placed doodad's material alpha reads file slot 0 on its spawn clock, while the reference reads bone 0's armed sequence, re-rolled every play window. The old text said doodads are armed once at load.
- The fog end is stored ×36 and scaled once at load (`0x6d6090`). It is not raw.
- The MCSH bit picks a map doodad's sun scale, 1.0 lit or 0.5 shadowed. 2.5 belongs to an entity's light node.
- `SpellRec` is the row as stored, column × 4, not a translated copy.
- A global sequence's clock is anchored at the instance's attach time (`0x714352`).
- Particle twinkle is a gated size multiplier (`0x7b2adc`).
- The blob shadow sizes from the Stand box.
- Data claims are checked against the install: the weapon-trail kits' parameters and alphas, the beam rows' noise, and the maps' `field_16`.
- Dozens more turned up on the way: renamed or deleted items, docs sitting on the wrong item, stale counts and links.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with a reason. An unbuilt behaviour says so plainly.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Four second readers compared every file old against new, restored the facts the rewrite had dropped, and checked each new citation against the reference, the code and the shipped data.
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.
