- an animated doodad is culled by its authored box, not its bind pose — the one-yard bird flying a 64-yard circuit stops vanishing with the camera angle — and the fix survives the engine's own bound recompute
- the logon proof answers the server's version challenge instead of sending zeros, so a strict realmd stops rejecting benilla as a modified client
- two instruments land: a frame-by-frame visibility trace for one model, and a probe that classifies whether a realmd enforces the version check

- the spellbook draws the cooldown pie on a spell that's cooling down, and the active form's slot lights its checked ring
- shader variants warm at startup (with a tripwire if one ever compiles live), so a first cast no longer hitches on shader compile
- additive glow stacks clamp the way the original scene does, taming Frost Nova's blown-out mist, and shoulder cards split only at rigidly separable bones
- the login handshake now reads the same under both SRP encodings, and cooldown events no longer race the net step

- The second half of the open-door fix: the system that applies a door's
state to its collider had never run once. The state arrives with the
spawn, the collider is baked from the model hull frames later, and the
reconcile demanded both in the same frame — so every door kept the solid
collider it was born with. Open gates and forcefields are walkable now,
and the inspector prints solid-or-passable out loud.
- The mouseover follows the original's law: an object you cannot use — in
use, waiting on a quest, or hostile-faction scenery like the enemy's own
doors — shows nothing at all on hover. No tooltip, no highlight, no
cursor. Each object type answers for itself, the way the real client
dispatches it.
- Dun Morogh's snow trees lose their white plates and hard creases: model
textures authored clamp-to-edge were all sampled repeat-wrapped, so a
canopy's deliberate out-of-range margin wrapped back into opaque texels.
The sampler honours the authored address mode now, on this tree, a bad
bush, and hundreds of models like them.
- Odds and ends: the Blasted Lands lightning can actually strike (its
emitters sampled an animation slot that is silent for that model),
donation turn-in quests show their real Continue panel, boss emotes expand
their $name macros, and a rare one-in-256 login failure — a session key
the client hashed differently than the server does — is gone.
