- the bag windows are the reference's own `ContainerFrame.xml` running off the player's patch chain — decision 1751 makes the stock 1.12 UI off the install the end state and `assets/ui` scaffolding that retires file-by-file (86 files against the 99-file stock corpus, 72% of the 1128-function global surface already built) — via one ordered manifest, `benilla.toc`, where a bare name is a file we ship and an `Interface\FrameXML\` path is the player's own file; the windows on screen are `ContainerFrame1..12`, the bank's six copy-pasted popouts fold into them at ids 5..10, net −750 lines, and the swap forced real engine verbs into being rather than stubs (`SetBagPortaitTexture` with its id-0 no-texture arm, `GameTooltip:AppendText`, `SetButtonPulse`, and a `<Model>` whose file is the cooldown indicator materializing as the native sweep, which three corpus addons inherit)
- the 1.12 walk toggle lands: `TOGGLERUN` latches one bit with `ToggleRun`'s own silent refusal chain (dead, rooted, on a live server spline), and the walk animation was never missing at all — the flag reaches it through exactly one channel, the speed (`0x5fd100` picks Walk over Run on `speed > 2 × walkSpeed`); pinning it caught our remote extrapolator with the two min rungs backwards — `min(walk, run)` runs BEFORE the backward min, so a walking backpedaller moves at 2.5 yd/s where we would have played them the Run clip at 4.5 — and one shared `current_speed` now keeps the local controller and the extrapolator from ever disagreeing about it
- the instance and raid lockout messages exist — six packets that were dropped as unknown opcodes now land, four of them as the CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM lines the client composes itself, which is why no Lua handler ever surfaced them — plus `IsInInstance`, `ResetInstances`, and the unit popup's "Reset all instances" row behind the reference's own predicate; where the binary contradicts vmangos: the ownership flag means "any instance bind" but vmangos only ever names raid binds, so the row was dead for every character without a raid lockout — term 1 is now also satisfied by our own eyes, walking out of a party dungeon the server itself bound us to
- opening the world map showed 3D world at the sheet's margins: `BlackoutWorld` was parented to the very `UIParent` a fullscreen panel hides, and three more frames had crossed the same boundary — the shared dropdown lists (so the map's continent and zone pickers answered a click with nothing at all), the master-looter menu, and the screenshot confirmation, which could never appear during a cinematic; `frame_flag_gate` now checks the parent seat against the reference both ways a frame acquires one (the attribute, template-inherited included, and `<Frames>` nesting), and its first harvest took 30 divergences down to three accepted ones

- the select screen's ghost is four mechanisms off one roster-row bit, and the rest of them land: the FFX pass swap — the reference builds TWO pass pairs, world and glue, and a ghost row installs the glue DEATH pass over the whole diorama while the character list and buttons composite clean above it; the ghost-gated sun — the scene's light gather is wiped and one hardcoded overhead directional injected, its colours turning out to be Light.dbc's death preset (diffuse (94,153,198), ambient (26,56,85)) rather than the live capture we had parked them as, with the sign settled at the bytes (an authored light already carries one negation, so reusing that convention lights the ghost from underneath); and three glow weights corrected — the glue screens pin 0.30 login / 0.40 living select / 0.15 ghost where we rendered a flat 0.5 everywhere, so login and create get slightly less glow too, a fidelity correction to a value we had never verified
- a press brings its window to the front: the mouse-DOWN handler raises the capture-or-hover frame unguarded, the toplevel gate living inside the worker — which is what makes a click on a child raise the window that owns it — and the release never raises; behind it, a frame-by-frame diff against the reference put back what the transcription dropped: toplevel on 47 frames (without it every raise trigger was a silent no-op across the whole interface), the mouse on 16 window bodies (a click on the bank's or merchant's own background was turning the camera or dropping your target), and id= on 81 frames — the slot index a 1.12 addon reads, where GetID() answered 0; a new gate reads our flags off the LOADED engine against the reference's, both directions with a reason each, so the next drift can't hide behind renamed templates
- the jump stops being frame-rate dependent: the fall step becomes the reference's closed form (the mean of the endpoint velocities is the exact displacement rate, and both our movers had the error in opposite directions), taking the apex from 1.668 yd at 144 fps and 1.844 at 20 to a flat 1.640 against the analytic 1.640 — a live run apexed at 1.6410; and the knockback's freeze is its PLANTED direction bit, not a velocity test — air control opens exactly while the direction nibble is clear, the launch plants forward whatever its speed, and the bit now rides the wire, which we had never sent at all
- the walk-away leash belongs to the OBJECT: the reference's watchdog overwrites the opener's stored range on the player typemask bit alone with (10+4)², so a player-shared quest panel is leashed at 14 yards — not at the 5.56-yard NPC reach, and not never, as two earlier readings had it — while a census of all 14 arming sites confirms every other NPC window already closed at the right distance; the walk-away also sends strictly LESS than the button: an NPC panel closes silently while a share still owes its decline

- dialogs carry the reference's toplevel bit, so the stack-split window opens above Bagnon instead of behind it
- the failure line fills its blank — "Requires Blacksmith Hammer", not "Requires" — and Opening casts stop printing a label the spell itself marks "no text"
- the pet bar's Attack/Follow/Stay tooltips name their keybinding, and typed text reaches the focused frame through the client's own delivery walk
- AtlasLoot parses again: our Lua keeps 5.0's compatibility semicolon

- forty files that carried the reference's literal Lua are rewritten as our own expression of the behaviour — worst identical run 61 lines down to 7 — and the README now says exactly that
- the overlap gate measures the code itself across all four reference corpora, and ratchets: the number may only go down
- a lost session ends at the login screen instead of silently re-authenticating and stealing the account back
- a building's skybox is a real model: Caverns of Time's white ceiling becomes its painted nebula and additive stars

- 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

- 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
