- the combat log's last eight wire bodies decode — PARTYKILLLOG, SPELLINSTAKILLLOG, PROCRESIST, SPELLORDAMAGE_IMMUNE, SPELLDISPELLOG, DISPEL_FAILED, ENCHANTMENTLOG, SPELLLOGEXECUTE — each layout read off vmangos's own writer and pinned by a byte-exact golden (DISPEL_FAILED carries no count, the list runs to the end of the body; SPELLLOGEXECUTE's POWER_DRAIN row is (amount, power, multiplier), verified at the client's bytes as well as the server's); with the eleven chat types that were waiting on them, 44 chat types become 55 — 29 sentence families, the death pair and the aura rows riding descriptor diffs because 1.12 has no "unit died" opcode, plus the six trailers ((glancing), (30 blocked), (12 absorbed) and kin) that had been missing from every family; also corrected: the durability-death line was going to the red error frame with hard-coded English, and SMSG_SPELLNONMELEEDAMAGELOG lacked its split-damage branch and its blocked wording
- PlayerModel is its own frame kind: SetUnit, RefreshUnit and SetRotation were published on Model, but they belong to the <PlayerModel> method table (0x84f1fc), and the client's lookup chains derived → base only, so a plain <Model> can never reach them — they got there from a strings scan read as ownership, and a strings hit answers whether a name EXISTS, not who owns it (SetUnit's one pooled string is referenced by the PlayerModel and GameTooltip tables and by no Model entry); the new PlayerModel → Model → Frame → Region chain unblocks CreateFrame("PlayerModel"), which is how pfUI builds every unit-frame portrait — and through pfUI, pfQuest and ShaguDPS
- a nil where a number goes is four shapes, not one law: a census of all 408 widget-registrar entries found 62 numeric positions that validate-or-raise, 43 that gate then stage an alternate, 64 that silently coerce to 0.0 and 5 that gate then store nothing — so SetMaxLetters(nil) completes and stores 0, "no limit" (the argument COUNT is checked exactly, the type is not), and the backdrop colour setters are asymmetric on purpose: a nil r/g/b channel is 0.0 but a nil alpha is OPAQUE, and reading every nil as 0.0 would have turned those borders transparent; both setters now also quantize ×255 into the packed 0xAARRGGBB byte quad the client actually stores, so 0.09 reads back as 23/255
- two more addon-killers: LIGHTYELLOW_FONT_COLOR_CODE was the one missing line of Fonts.xml's seven-line colour block (aux-addon concatenates it at file scope and died on its own first line), and the guard now enumerates the whole block l.4-20 instead of the names an earlier round had noticed absent; and the unit frames publish the reference's names — 1.12 has no *PowerBar anywhere, every bar is ManaBar and the colour table is ManaBarColor (8 of the top-20 addons read it by name), so ManaBarColor is the published table our own bars index into, with 22 more regions renamed to the reference's own

- the stable master: `MSG_LIST_STABLED_PETS` both ways, the four mutations answered by one result byte, two slots priced from `StableSlotPrices.dbc` (500 and 50000 copper — the cap falls out of the data, corroborated by vmangos's `MAX_PET_STABLES` and the reference's `NUM_PET_STABLE_SLOTS`), rows seated by slot never by position (a petless hunter's list starts at a stabled row), slot 0 read from the wire because a dismissed pet has a row and no live unit, a re-list after every success because no result carries one, and `GetPetIcon` reading `CreatureFamily.dbc`'s icon column — which ships `Ability_Druid_CatForm` for both warlock families, asserted as shipped
- master loot: `CMSG_LOOT_MASTER_GIVE` (the slot is a byte here where the roll family's is a u32) and `SMSG_LOOT_MASTER_LIST`; the click gate is the wire's slot-type byte and nothing else — the reference never asks who the master looter is — so a MASTER row fires `OPEN_MASTER_LOOT_LIST` instead of a take and auto-loot skips every non-ALLOW row; the candidate array is bucketed by raid subgroup into blocks of five (a dense list would have filed every candidate under the wrong "Group N"), an unresolved name is nil so `UPDATE_MASTER_LOOT_LIST` has something to repaint, and a give re-checks the row is still MASTER before sending; found on the way: a master looter in another raid subgroup lit the crown on your own portrait
- `SetLootMethod` takes its third (threshold) argument; the reference's silent reset to Uncommon when it is absent is flagged and not adopted; the stable's model pane draws nothing yet — a stabled pet is a database row with no world entity, and a booth that renders from a bare display id is the next arc

- 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

- GetInventorySlotInfo folds case the way the client does, and gains the twelve bag-slot rows the shipped data really carries
- ChatTypeGroup exists for addons that register their own chat types at file scope — one missing table was taking five addons down
- GetChannelList answers in join order, shaped by the addons that consume it, and the harness's `--why` can now open any demand count
- the survey seats a spellbook, and the shapeshift bar's shelf art exists hidden, both exposing paths an empty fixture could never reach

- 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
