A multi-line EditBox kept its authored height, so a scroll frame around a long mail body or ticket had no range. A box made in Lua with no template never placed its text, so it drew nothing.
In 1.12.1, the flush's relayout sets a multi-line box's height to its insets plus its wrapped text height, or one line when empty (`0x77d4d0` at `0x77d8ad`). Every resize, including the first layout, re-seats the text at the top-left inset (`0x77a8d0` → `0x77b8c0`). `SetTextInsets`, `GetTextInsets`, `SetMultiLine` and a font change re-seat it too.
benilla now does the same. A focused multi-line box's caret and text are clipped only by a scroll frame, as the reference clips neither.
Tests cover growth and shrink, the stock mail and ticket scroll ranges, each re-seat trigger, a Lua box's first layout, and the caret in an empty box and after a trailing newline.

The Lua VM keeps no surface the 1.12.1 client lacks.
- **Removed:** the nine Era-only globals: `UnitAura`, `CancelUnitBuff`, `GetCursorInfo`, `GetInventoryItemID`, `GetPlayerFacing`, `GetTradePartnerName`, `IsGossipOptionCoded`, `UnitIsAFK`, `UnitIsDND`.
- **Hooks off Lua:** `GameTooltip:BenillaSetItemById` and `:BenillaGetTooltipOwner` are replaced by Rust-side calls. The uncalled `Benilla*` hooks are deleted.
- **Frame strata:** `SetFrameStrata` knows the reference's eight strata and raises its message for any other (`0x774450`).
- **`SetDrawLayer`** reads the layer name alone (`0x79a780`).
- **`Set<State>Texture`** reads a number as a path (`0x781b23`); there is no colour form.
- **`PlaySound`** names a kit and returns nothing (`0x4586d0`). `PlaySoundFile` returns one value (`0x458780`); benilla answers 1, a recorded deviation, since it plays after the call.
- **`OnClick`** sets only `arg1` (`0x779540`).
- **Quest getters:** `GetQuestItemInfo` and the quest-log reward and choice getters answer the reference's five values and its miss behaviour (`0x501f80`, `0x4e0b00`, `0x4e0cf0`).
- **`PickupContainerItem`** returns nothing (`0x4f9b30`).
- **Surface gates:** the bare VM's globals and every widget class's methods are held to `reference/1.12-globals.tsv` with one commented allowlist. A new gate on the full production load (core plus layer) allows beyond that only the layer's `Benilla`-prefixed globals.
Verified:
- A test per removal and per corrected form; a scripted undo of each fails its test.
- Each gate fails on a re-added name.
- `scripts/gates.sh` and `scripts/smoke.sh` are green.
- A live run showed the same warnings and 0 script errors before and after.
- In the 219-addon corpus, AckisRecipeList's bundled AceGUI-3.0 and Roid-Macros' Grid extension now behave as they do on 1.12.1.
Built on macOS; no platform seam touched.

Part of #41: the comments of `benilla-ui` (the Lua UI engine, its FrameXML loader and its widgets) are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 43,140 comment lines become 15,161.
- **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:
- `0x64a480` is the case-sensitive compare (a byte `repz cmpsb`), and `0x64a4c0` the case-insensitive one.
- A frame's id sits at `+0xb0`, not `+0xb4`. `EnableKeyboard`/`IsKeyboardEnabled` are `0x776ec0`/`0x776f90`.
- A region's unpinned edge has no fallback to its owner's rect: the owner supplies only the scale.
- `$parent` expands to the nearest named ancestor, or "Top" when none is named (`0x76c5b0`), not simply to the parent.
- A StatusBar fills from its internal normalised fraction, not from `GetValue()`.
- The addresses of `StartDuel` and `StartDuelUnit` were swapped.
- Many "untraced" notes now give the traced reference fact: the drag threshold, the per-grip sizing edges, the empty-`autoFocus` skip, and `SetTexCoordModifiesRect`'s default.
- Stock FrameXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files and corrected. `ref-` file names become the stock file names.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with a reason. A surface that exists only for the retired Era addon target says so plainly: it is not 1.12.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Nine 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.
Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#131–#142), and more are being validated. The comments here state what the code does. 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 frame's __index is its kind's method table and the Region map's 19 shared verbs dispatch in Rust: a widget method call costs one table index instead of a Lua re-entry — the idle UI tick ~20 % lighter, client-wide (2310)
- SetParent names the subtree it moved instead of giving the layout ledger up: a pooled map note's recycle no longer re-derives the whole interface, and a Questie quest-log change's worst frame halves, 166 → 83 ms (2314)
- thirteen single-store windows — honor, talent wipe, the dialog verbs, scoreboard, battlemaster, battle map, book, mirror timers, minimap ping — register their handlers; 18 kinds leave the match (2313)
- the addon-enable RE lands: DefaultState is a seeded byte, the node set is the character list, and a character the store has never seen inherits nothing — 2311's one wrong branch corrected (2316)

- Questie's arrow points at the turn-in, not 100 yards off: the map selection sits on your zone from the moment you enter the world, as the reference's does, so Astrolabe reads the right sheet (2192)
- an area the map has no row for sends the selection to your continent, not the world view; the reference fails its zone lookup and its continent lookup separately
- a tooltip shown with no lines hides itself instead of drawing an empty plate at the last hover's size, as Questie's tracker did on some quests; each fresh hover restores full alpha, so a plate an addon dimmed does not stay dim
- Questie's minimap button turns the quest icons back on: a nil handed to a colour setter stores zero and carries on, as the reference does, where benilla raised and jammed Questie's event queue from login (1973)
- MonkeyDev loads without three red dialogs at login: an unknown frame type in an addon's XML is logged and skipped, as the reference does; only a script creating a frame of a bad type still raises (2191)

- addons load in the order NTFS lists a folder, case-insensitive with an underscore before the letters, the order the vanilla corpus was written against and the one that decides which addon provides a shared library (2178)
- GetNumAddOns and the index form of every AddOn verb walk a title-sorted list that hides the Blizzard addons the server says to hide, and the character-select AddOns list is in title order (2175)
- SetPoint and SetAllPoints raise the reference's own errors for a frame name that does not exist or an omitted relative frame instead of quietly anchoring to the parent, and an explicit nil means the screen root (2176)
- a tooltip owned with ANCHOR_CURSOR follows the mouse, which pfUI's tooltip, xpbar and chat modules, pfQuest's browser and TipBuddy ask for; an omitted or unknown anchor is ANCHOR_LEFT (2176)
- a $parent name handed to CreateFrame, CreateTexture or CreateFontString expands as it does in XML, so FonzAppraiser's thirty dropdowns and pfQuest's search icon get the names they asked for (2176)

- the mail window's send tab takes typing again: the subject, body and money boxes were taking no input while the recipient box swallowed every key, and a sent letter clears its subject and item icon instead of putting them straight back (2145)
- seven events fire the way the reference does: UNIT_DYNAMIC_FLAGS fires at all, swapping two identical stacks between bank slots fires PLAYERBANKSLOTS_CHANGED twice, the pet sheet's training points repaint, and ITEM_LOCK_CHANGED loses its invented arguments (2140)
- nine widget methods 1.12 addons probe for are in: ShaguTweaks stops recolouring textures the reference leaves alone, pfUI and _Nameplates stop raising on a tooltip's GetAnchorType, and 63 AceEvent addons get RegisterAllEvents (2142)
- six post-1.12 methods leave the widget surface (SetSize, SetShown, HasFocus, SetFormattedText and two tooltip verbs), so an addon reaching for a later client's API finds what a real 1.12 client gives it (2142, 2146)

- a slider with a value step snaps to it: a stepped drag fires once per row instead of once per pixel, a scrollbar cannot rest between two rows, and one wheel notch on the trainer list reaches the bottom (2133)
- setting a step on a live slider moves its value onto the new lattice and runs its handler, which an addon on the real client can count on (2143)
- a button pushed from script releases on the next mouse-up, so Tablet-2.0's rows stop staying pressed forever; a release off the button's rect un-presses it, and a locked state holds (2134)
- the mail body and the GM ticket box scroll as you type past their bottom, and the Use UI Scale checkbox reads a registered setting (2141)
- an engine warning, a call that was accepted and did nothing, reaches the /errors window in grey instead of one terminal line; a text row trimmed mid-character no longer kills the window's repaint (2135, 2138)

- text shapes in the face an addon asked for: MikScrollingBattleText draws in its own Porky instead of a system sans, and Arial Narrow and Friz Quadrata are no longer drawn by the Mac's own fonts (2123)
- Bartender2 and Cartographer stop resetting their profile at every login: a stack trace opens on the caller, where AceDB reads its addon's folder; a font's reported height is a number before its face resolves, which Tablet-2.0 does arithmetic on (2121, 2129)
- a button highlight built from a texture object draws, so Bongos' bar-drag button, _Nameplates' mouseover glow and Quiver's option rows show theirs; clearing a state texture removes it instead of drawing it in every state (2124)
- a toc's repeated SavedVariables lines add up, so all 25 of CT_RaidAssist's saved globals persist instead of seven; colour-mapped TGA icons decode, so FonzAppraiser's and FuBar_WeaponRebuffFu's draw (2126, 2128)
- MikScrollingBattleText's DoT lines are back with their school tints, and the school word is capitalised; a chat line with no colour stays white, and the short colour-id form of adding a message works (2127, 2125)

- the cooldown pie, the GCD sweep, minimap pings and the map arrow draw again after a logout, login or /reload; they went blank until a restart, which read as OmniCC killing the cooldowns (2113)
- an addon's own font on a button label keeps its face, size and outline instead of being undone every frame, MikScrollingBattleText's reported look (2112)
- an empty label reads as nothing rather than an empty string, so Cartographer's map label keeps its colour; a slider thumb with no authored size takes its art's own size, so Dewdrop's Look'n'Feel slider moves (2109, 2110)
- Bagnon's saved bag list comes back in the order it was written, so the keyring stops jumping to the front after a restart; hovering a Bagnon bag costs a third of what it did (2111, 2114)

- five idle minutes sit you down and flag you AFK, thirty log you out through the ordinary countdown; holding a key is idle, moving the mouse is not, and a swimmer stays afloat (2092)
- a knockdown no longer wedges: the landing froze the clip that held the base-animation lock, leaving a knocked-down player on their back for the session (2098); the perf cost pill starts hidden (2099)
- Lua is exactly 1.12's 5.0 — no vararg expression, no #, no %, the remembered table size — so Cartographer loads without errors and Mik's Scrolling Battle Text shows its text, in its own shipped font now that addon TTFs load (2101, 2102, 2103)
- a widget name is a Lua global for SetPoint and its kin, so Bartender2's bars spread out; a button's NormalText disowns its justify, the raise renumbers hidden frames too, and a missing toc file warns instead of erroring (2105, 2100, 2104, 2107, 2106)

- units could be hovered through the loading screen — the sword cursor gave it away: the world pick chain has no state gate, one of fifty-one input sites, so a gate per consumer is a rule that regresses; the cut is at the source instead — one `PreUpdate` system empties the button planes, drains the raw queues, zeroes the accumulators and blanks the window's cursor position while the cover is up (the alt-tabbed-away state every consumer already handles); a press under the cover never happened, a held button is released once, a gesture in flight is cancelled, and a wall test counts the channels; the reference does the same — its raise registers a veto stub (`0x406a50`) on five event-bus categories — and one gap closed with it: the reference parks the plain arrow and drops any item overlay before the screen goes up, where benilla kept a held item's icon over the loading art (1986, 1990)
- the micro-button row is the reference's own `MainMenuBarMicroButtons.xml`, our transcription deleted — no engine verb was missing, and the whole engine-side cost is one alias, `SoundOptionsFrame = OptionsFrame`, because the stock file reads the reference's three options windows and ours is the one window for all three; what the stock file brings back: `UpdateTalentButton`'s own −2 re-seat (the five buttons after the talent button sit 1 px further right — the reference's own pixel), the raw binding token in the hover label (`(C)`, `(SHIFT-P)`), the sixty-second talent-button pulse on a ding while the sheet is closed (0304's scope-out retired), the keyring arm, and "Abilities" on the spellbook hover for a character with no spells; `BenillaActionBarArt_SeatAbove` goes with the file — a child is born one level above its parent (`SetParent` `0x76ab65`), the seat it set by hand (1987)
- hovering the player arrow on the stock world map showed an empty tooltip: narrower than 4:3 the map is scaled under 1, and our `MouseIsOver` had dropped the reference's division by `GetEffectiveScale` as "always 1" — the frame getters answer in the frame's own units, `GetCursorPosition` in the screen's; the division is back, and the region getters divide by their owner's scale too; and the ready check times out: the stock `UIParent.xml` ticks `CheckReadyCheckTime` every frame, the one unbound name in that file's way, so the mechanism behind it is built — a 30 s deadline and a "has not answered" flag per roster entry, the leader getting no popup while members print "%s has initiated a ready check" and get it, and on expiry `RAID_MEMBERS_AFK` with the unanswered names or `READY_CHECK_NO_AFK`, the last answer closing the check at once (1985, 1989)
- a review of the floor grind closed eight stale-input and bypassed-side-effect siblings the gates had left open: a never-placed card places on a still frame, the dormant-emitter skip sits below the emitter's lifetime blocks, PVS changes (not only spawns) un-still the gates, the appear ramp's retirement and a far-side unmark come due, a host born under a parked camera is judged, the projection counts as a still input, a fresh palette range is zeroed, the stable feed runs once more after a close, the unit publisher's viewer query is filtered, solo UI materials are reused by key, and the draw-list cache compares exactly; and three doc links the chat window's stock move (1948) left dangling point at what replaced them — the colour table and the tell ring are the stock Lua's now — which is what had the doc-links gate (1925) red on main

- the action-bar cluster is the reference's own: `MainMenuBar.xml`, `ActionBarFrame.xml`, `MultiActionBars.xml` and `BonusActionBarFrame.xml` run off the player's own chain, and our `ActionBar.xml` (2047 lines), `MultiBars.xml` and `StanceBar.xml` are deleted — three, since the stock bonus-bar file declares the shapeshift bar too; one engine verb, `ChangeActionBarPage`, fires `ACTIONBAR_PAGE_CHANGED` and nothing else; one load blocker: stock `MultiActionBars.lua` writes the options window's table from its OnLoad, the reference's own load-order hack, so our options window moves to the reference's toc slot; and ten things the reference does that ours did not: an empty button is HIDDEN while showgrid is 0, the bonus overlay sits one pixel right of the main buttons, every slide takes one frame more than its time, and `ActionButton_ShowGrid` ghosts EVERY ring, occupied included (1938)
- a gift can be wrapped: right-clicking wrapping paper fell through to plain use and sent `CMSG_USE_ITEM`, so nothing happened — you could receive a gift and never give one; the wrap is a displayed-cursor MODE plus a stashed slot, never a payload, so `CursorHasItem()` stays false and every stock gate on it stays shut: right-click arms it, a left-click on a bag slot sends `CMSG_WRAP_ITEM`, and the client applies no eligibility test — the server's `ERR_CANT_WRAP_*` reasons are the error line (1934); a duration-limited item counts down: `SMSG_ITEM_TIME_UPDATE` parks a deadline and the tooltip's `ITEM_DURATION` line runs the enchant countdown's bucket ladder, so "Duration: 1 days" is what the reference renders; an update for an item we do not hold is DROPPED, no queue (1933); and a renamed crowd-control refusal names its mechanic — "Can't do that while stunned" — off `SpellMechanic.dbc` (1943)
- a creature paths on a boat: `SMSG_MONSTER_MOVE_TRANSPORT` carries the transport's guid and deck-local coordinates, and is the attach/detach edge; a deck sample lands on the rider or nowhere, never as a world write a few yards from the map origin; and "there is no terrain under a boat" turned out wrong: the ground probe admits GameObject meshes — a boat's `.wmo` is a GameObject, so the probe hits the deck (1936); `MSG_MOVE_TIME_SKIPPED` is read, not dropped — the reference adds the lag to the observed unit's last-wire stamp, so dropping it scheduled their next packet `lag` ms late, a hitch for every player who stalled zoning in near us; and our own settle hold reports once (1935); and the tradeskill tool order was backwards — focus FIRST, so every two-tool recipe had read "Blacksmith Hammer, Anvil" for the reference's "Anvil, Blacksmith Hammer"; the focus's `hasTool` is 1.0 in the reference too (1942)
- the crowd's second sitting, instruments first: the probe line carries the tail — cpu p95/p99 and the six worst frames — because a mean under budget hides the one frame in twenty over it (raid legs railed at 16.67 with p95 at 18–20 ms) and whether that frame was work or a wait is the first question about a stutter, and the visible meshes are counted by lane; then two cuts — a terrain tile furnishes as 4×4 cells of 4×4 chunks, one mesh, one entity, one draw per 133-yd cell instead of per 33-yd chunk (a city horizon is over a thousand chunks a frame, and a cell changes nothing a pixel can see; Stormwind 10.55 → 10.32 `cpu_ms`), and an authored point light is our own `WorldPointLight`, not Bevy's `PointLight`, which was only a data carrier while Bevy ran its whole light lane over every lamp, ~2 % of the alone frame; the sitting's record is 1945, and the code says so (1945)

- four return shapes were wrong — `UnitPowerType` returns ONE value in 5875 (the Era `(type, "RAGE")` pair does not exist, and its miss arm pushes the NUMBER 0, which `UnitFrame.lua:122` indexes `ManaBarColor` with), `UnitName` returns `(name, server)`, `GetTexCoord` returns EIGHT (ours four — a shape that exists nowhere, with zero call sites in FrameXML, so only the binary could have caught it), `GetLootMethod` answers `freeforall` ungrouped — the fifth right-name-wrong-arity finding in two days, so wow-re's `binding-shapes.tsv` (1722 rows over all 82 registrar tables) is vendored and a gate probes every binding's arity against it: 313 probes, eight divergences (seven global, one widget); `GetBuildInfo` pushed a fourth value no 1.12 client does (458 corpus sites take one, the four that destructure a fourth read nil on the real client), `GetAddOnInfo` RAISES on a numeric index, `Model:GetFogColor` is a packed `0xAARRGGBB` dword with no unset state, and the five miss branches are the reference's exact tuples
- the panel-template kit is the reference's own `UIPanelTemplates` pair (our 18 templates were a strict subset — `TabButtonTemplate` and the `ScrollingEdit_*` family arrive, which unblocks the macro window and HelpFrame), and the swap found two structural facts: `FauxScrollFrameTemplate` is a `<ScrollFrame>` while every instance we declared was a `<Frame>` (fifteen elements across twelve files), and an instance `<OnLoad>` REPLACES the template's — four FriendsFrame lists set `updateFunc` in their own OnLoad, so `ScrollFrame_OnLoad` never ran and guild/friends/ignore/who had been silently painting nothing behind a `frame.offset or 0`
- the options widget kit (`OptionFrameBoxTemplate`, `OptionsButtonTemplate`, `OptionsCheckButtonTemplate`, `OptionsSliderTemplate`) comes off the chain too, giving back the reference's own per-widget hover; one template of ours stays because `UIOptionsFrame.xml` is not built here, and the lesson is general — when a file SHRINKS rather than dies, every harness that named it gains the chain entry beside it, not instead of it

- picking a spell up off the bar no longer blacks out every empty slot: `UI-Quickslot` is a FILLED 60%-black plate, not a hollow ring (decoded off the shipped BLPs — Quickslot2's interior is RGBA 0,0,0,0, Quickslot's 0,0,0,153), and the reference dims it to half alpha in `ActionButton_ShowGrid`, so an empty well now ghosts at 30% black where it read as a hole; the wow-re cross-check then found the reference never UN-dims it (a 3-argument `SetVertexColor` preserves the current alpha at `0x79abd0`, and `SetNormalTexture` reuses the region), so in the real client the first drag leaves every button's border at half alpha for the rest of the session — benilla ends the dim on purpose and records it as the divergence it is (1782)
- the bag bar is the reference's own `MainMenuBarBagButtons.xml` (window 3 of the stock-first migration), and the swap found a real bug rather than a move: the reference's `ItemAnim_OnEvent` matches a push against the button's inventory-slot id (20..23) and benilla emitted its own container numbering (1..4), so all four bag-push cards would have silently never played against the stock body — `push_container` now emits the reference's selector (`bag + 1`), which is what an addon expects anyway; beside it, a readiness probe that asks the LOADER, not a grep, which of the 85 stock windows load off the player's chain today (58 do; the 27 that don't name their own blocker)
- a rooted, hovering, water-walking or walking creature reached benilla as an unhandled opcode: the twelve `SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_*` (the observer twin of the ack'd force family — bare packed guid, no ack, any unit) now decode into one MOVEMENTFLAGS word per unit, which benilla kept for our mover and for a relayed player and not at all for a creature, the one body this family is ever addressed to; ROOT wipes the direction bits so the dead-reckon stops walking a rooted body on for its next heartbeat (`0x7c7340`), HOVER clears a yard off the floor without climbing a body already inside that yard (`0x636e81`), WATERWALK elects the liquid surface against the terrain, SAFE_FALL's terminal is 7.0 not 60.148 (`0x7c5d23`), and SET_RUN_MODE's bool is inverted against the bit, folded at the parse; the inspect card names a unit's granted modes in words (`granted rooted+hover`) so a creature resting a yard off the floor reads as intended rather than broken

- deleting a rare-or-better item forks to the reference's typed confirm — "Type \"DELETE\" into the field to confirm": Yes starts disabled, the box takes focus, the button enables only while the field spells DELETE, and a reflexive Enter over a half-typed word is inert; the missing engine piece was one hook, the edit box's on-text-changed; beside it, the loot bind-on-pickup confirm — bind-on-pickup AND uncommon-or-better, two conjuncts and no others, so a white BoP drop is taken with no dialog and a bind-on-equip blue never asks here — with the reference's one-pending-slot latch, and the take split into two verbs the way 1.12 actually has it: the row click stays C-side, and LootSlot is only the confirmation's continuation
- the message frames get their justify quartet, read out of the binary's method tables (with the Button table re-derived as the control that lacks it); Frame:EnableDrawLayer/DisableDrawLayer and Region:GetDrawLayer land — the disabled layers are a five-bit mask on the frame, so re-enabling a layer restores exactly what was showing underneath; and the Skills tab's children take the reference's names, with SKILLS_TO_DISPLAY published — pfUI loops over it and got "'for' limit must be a number"
- the README's roadmap line now names what is genuinely big — battlegrounds and meeting stones, both verified still missing — plus the long tail, because the old line named four features that have since landed and small features go stale on a roadmap within a week
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the logon address is the reference's own `realmList` CVar — name, `host[:port]` form and the "Address of realm list server" prompt read straight out of `WoW.exe`'s string table — persisted in `benilla-config/config.toml` and edited on the login screen: a Realmlist button in the slot `AccountLogin.xml` already reserves under the Quit stack, the current address in grey beneath it, opening the reference's own `hasEditBox` glue dialog; before this the address was `$WOW_HOST` read once at process start with no way to change it; one text field and no saved list (every client at this scale ships one field), a pasted `SET realmlist "…"` line is accepted, and the default is `localhost` because the retail host has not resolved since 2019
- the README's "Not built yet" becomes "Where it's going": what done means, no dates, and one list in probable order — the remaining basics (battlegrounds, guild charters, the stable master, meeting stones, GM tickets, master loot, cinematics), addons / options / performance as ongoing, the no-brainer VanillaFixes- and SuperWoW-class fixes, playable downloads with Linux first; not planned: other expansions, Warden
- a UI region's span comes from its content and the owner-edge fallback is deleted: the reference's resolver core has no parent pointer at all, a FontString floors at one unit on both axes, a texture takes its texel span, and a region resolves from its own anchors and span or not at all — a live census over 8772 rects: 0 stopped resolving, 923 FontStrings shrank (842 to exactly 1×1 — empty labels that had been the whole screen, or an inverted rect), 0 textures moved; and `Region:GetWidth`/`GetHeight` are the same virtual getters the resolver calls (authored value wins per axis, natural width, wrapped height, texel span for art), so a script reads the number its rect was built from

- a unit's pick geometry is every model chained to it — body, held items, mount — one candidate per root resolving to the same unit, which is how the reference registers its pick (it walks the attachment tree and registers each model); Naxxramas' floating weapons could only be selected by their name plate before (no body, no candidate), and every armed unit gains its gear as clickable surface (our own body 12 → 21 tested parts); the broad phase stays the body's sphere, so a very long polearm on a small body is the named residual
- the selection ring's writer has two branches and we had transcribed one: a model whose stand box is degenerate (zero extent in x and y) rings at the literal 1.2 × scale — 2.7 yd under a trigger creature — instead of `sqrt(0.5·sqrt(dx²+dy²))` = 0 clamped to an invented 0.05 floor; both invented fallbacks are gone
- an HTML book image with no width/height is its art's texel square (one texel = one FrameXML unit, bit-for-bit the `<AbsDimension>` converter), not the rest of the page — *A Treatise on Military Ranks* drew its crest twice too big and stretched to the page's aspect; a texture-size oracle answers off the same decoder the renderer draws with, and an unfloated height-less `<IMG>` reserves its art's height in the flow; 797 shipped textures swept, exactly two zero-size axes move and neither is visible
- the dev debug panel killed the client on open with "Attachments have differing sample counts": Bevy's 2-D depth texture is keyed on the render target alone, so two Camera2ds on one window at different MSAA counts cannot both be valid, and the egui overlay camera had silently kept the default 4× after the player-UI camera went to Off; it now says `Msaa::Off`, and a preflight check reports any two 2-D cameras that disagree on a shared target, every run

- a text write names its own label, so the per-frame measure sweep drains a short ledger instead of hashing every font string twice — ~0.3 ms a frame at the Stormwind gates, gone
- the idle interface tick stops re-writing settled state: buff durations and the weapon-enchant frame write only on change, and the fade and unit-popup drivers park until woken
- the interface extract skips a hidden region before cloning its row, not after
- WOW_UPLOAD_BUDGET=<MB> brackets the arrival burst's upload pacing — a lever for measuring world entry, not a fix yet

- the interface's layout graph is maintained as anchors change instead of rediscovered from scratch: 1.48 ms per mutated frame becomes 34 µs, and end to end a running cast now costs +0.14 ms where it cost +4.33
- the autocast shine draws its authored population — 1200 particles through the star's own projection, spinning as the model says
- the shine is clipped to its own widget: the model frame installs its rect as the viewport, so nothing it draws leaves the button

- the social window's third tab is live — the roster in both its views, the member card with its promote/demote/remove verbs, the rank editor's thirteen permissions, the guild information board, and the invite, leave, kick and note dialogs behind them
- setting your hearthstone at an innkeeper now asks before it takes and says so afterwards, and the innkeeper's gossip lines get their own icons back
- unavailable talents grey out, and every greyed icon in the client now goes through the same luminance fold the original used
- the buff tooltip's remaining-time line reads gold with the client's own hour/minute ladder, the macro editor takes a shift-click to paste a spell, trainer rows repaint after a purchase, and a long book page stops flickering its ellipsis

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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
