- the loading screen now compiles every shader the world can reach: sky, water, spell shards and model variants stop hitching the first time they appear
- a locked chest's cursor carries the LOCKED word like the real client, and the lock verdict never leaks into the sent packet
- enchanting asks before it acts: a bind-on-enchant item gets its confirm popup, and so does replacing an enchant that's already there
- a long gossip menu scrolls like the reference with rows grown to their wrapped text, and music already playing is not restarted when the server re-sends it

- clicking your mount item while mounted dismounts you, and the mount icon no longer wears a stack "1"
- the horse appears and you're simply in the seat pose with the mount's cloud puff, no spellcast finishing over the saddle — and dismounting cuts clean to standing, no phantom jump-landing
- a mounted rider counter-turns head only, item-targeted spells show the targeting cursor, and the wrong thing in a quiver says "Only Arrows can be placed in that."
- liquid lookups ride a spatial index, and the camera's waterline comes from the client's own corner probe

- the mount transition re-seats the rider instead of rebuilding them: shield glows, weapon enchants and worn visuals stay lit through mount and dismount
- an enchanted item's tooltip carries its enchant line, coloured per slot, with a temporary enchant's countdown
- a server refusal with nothing to say now says nothing: the raw "Inventory error" debug line is gone, real refusals still print
- the mail icon clears when you close the mailbox, and translucent models classify against the water plane

- /target and /assist find units by name like the original, and /follow walks you behind your target
- right click opens clams and lockboxes, and the tooltip promises it
- the freeze thaws clean, poses release instead of sticking, and you drop to neutral standing before it grips
- unit frame art layers over the bars like the original

- The keyring is built. Your first key makes the keyring button appear by
the bags, opening the window the original keeps its dungeon keys in — the
server had been sending the keys all along; nothing had ever shown them.
- Keys open their doors now. The client used to cast the open as a bare
spell, which the server rightly refuses; it now sends the item-use the
original sends, carrying which key from which slot. The tooltip plays
along: "Locked" turns the soft green when something you carry opens it,
and a key stops inventing a "Use: Opening" line it never had.
- A building can own the sky: a WMO can name its own painted skybox, and
Stratholme's burning city now draws its near-black-to-red dome instead of
the zone's khaki gradient. The exact rule for when it applies settles in
the next snapshot.
- Signpost tooltips follow the cursor again — the tooltip anchor forks per
object class, corner for doors, cursor for signs — and the Blasted Lands
lightning stops striking the same spot for ever: a placed doodad re-rolls
its animation variation every play-window, like the original.

- The social window: friends, ignore and `/who`, in the reference's own two-level
arrangement with its inner tabs and per-row right-click menus. The lists ride the
real wire — guid-keyed with no names, resolved through the name cache, and capped
at 50 friends / 25 ignores because those are the client's own caps — and the
ignore list does its actual job: an ignored speaker's chat is dropped silently, a
whisper additionally tells the sender, and a duel challenge is auto-declined.
Guild ships as a disabled tab, which is what a guildless character sees.
- The escape menu: ESC's last rung finally opens something. The game menu lands at
the reference's own size and ladder, and leaving works — logout and quit with the
server owning the clock (instant at an inn, refused in combat, or the 20-second
countdown), narrated by the real camp/quit dialogs. While the menu holds the
center nothing else opens, and the bag bar greys out under it.
- Items on the action bar act like items. An equipped trinket was a dead button;
the reference's use law is two stages — not equippable means use, equippable and
already worn means use in place — over its exact search order (equipment first,
then the bags, then the backpack, then the keyring; never the bank). What can go
on the bar is now the reference's own two filters, byte-read: an item with an
on-use spell or one you can equip, and no passive spells — and dropping a passive
there speaks the real client's own line, "You can't put a passive ability in the
action bar."
- A quest-starter item opens its quest instead of "The item was not found." The
question goes to the item's own guid, never through item-use — which the server
refuses for every one of the 215 quest-starter items — and refusing the quest
says what the client says, then closes the window.
- For the toolbox: a pixel pick that reports everything under the cursor all the
way back, a lens that says which render phase a draw landed in, and switches that
separate "discarded" from "lost depth" from "never drawn" — built while cornering
a flickering tent, whose fix ships in the next snapshot.
