Typing into a numbered channel (`/1 hello`, or a line under a "[2. Trade]" header) sent nothing: the channel number went to the wire as the channel's name, so the server found no channel called "2".
Fixes#222.
- `SendChatMessage` reads a CHANNEL target the way 1.12.1 does (`0x49f4d9`-`0x49f4ea`): `SStrToInt` on the text, then the by-number slot getter (`0x49be50`), and the packet carries that slot's name (`0x49f70b`). A number that names no joined slot sends nothing, before the AFK clear and the tutorial acknowledge. There is no by-name leg, so an addon that passes a channel name sends nothing, as in 1.12.1.
- The binding keeps the target as Lua's `tostring` gives it, so 2.7 reads 2 instead of rounding to 3. `LeaveChannelByName` shares the parse and the getter.
- The send drains run before the zone-channel walk, so a `/N` resolves against the roster the script read the same frame.
Test: `a_channel_send_carries_the_numbered_slots_name` runs the real drain over a slot roster. It failed before (the wire target was "2") and passes now; holes, suspended slots, names and missing targets send nothing.
To see it: two characters of one faction in the same zone, both in General. On the first, `/1 hello`: the second now sees it.

The strings pass for `benilla-app`, the last crate: string literals and test names lose the private record numbers and the workspace's words that a comment pass cannot touch.
Fixes#92. Fixes#36.
- **Messages.** About 230 assertion, panic, `expect` and log messages, printed tool labels, and comments inside embedded Lua fixtures drop their record numbers; the eight that named "the director" keep their fact in plain words. Stale claims in a few messages are corrected on the way (a cast-bar step, a font line, the every-shot recompute).
- **Names.** Seven test and helper names that carried a record number or "director" now say what they check. `git grep` found no other use of any of them.
- **Player files.** The key-bindings file's header and `config.toml`'s header each lose a record citation. Neither header is compared when the file is read back: the bindings reader skips every `#` line, and `config.toml`'s header is a TOML comment.
- **Fixtures.** Test fixtures use neutral character, account and frame names.
- **#36.** The quest-material test labels GameObject type 10 GOOBER (in 1.12, 3 is CHEST, 9 TEXT, 10 GOOBER); the code under test was already right, and the comments were fixed with the comment pass.
- **Verification.** With comments stripped and every literal's contents masked, each file is identical to main and keeps its literals' line counts, apart from the renamed functions and one rustfmt reflow. `cargo fmt --check` is clean.

Part of #41: the last of five `benilla-app` pieces. This one is everything the others did not cover: the addon harness, the settings registry, the glue screens (login, realm list, character select and create), key bindings, the minimap, nameplates, the loading screen, transports, the performance instruments, the smaller modules, the integration tests, and the UI asset files (`OptionsFrame.xml`, `benilla.toc` and the rest). Their comments are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 27,351 comment lines become 11,010.
Fixes#33. Fixes#103.
- **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:
- The weapon trail's emissive is 0 (`0x70ca30`): the trail is a type-5 render record, so its ambient-only light term is exact.
- The camera-style dropdown writes "1", "2", "0" (`UIOptionsFrame.lua:525,536,547`); several register-site addresses in the settings table are corrected.
- The graphics settings are held until `RestartGx`, as in 1.12; `Fonts.xml`'s early load no longer carries a false reason.
- vmangos sends a player-name invalidation after a rename (`CharacterHandler.cpp:839`), and the cinematic camera's announce packet has an empty handler there (`MiscHandler.cpp:919`).
- Stock FrameXML and GlueXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files, and vmangos line citations against the pinned revision.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with its recorded reason. Declining to copy a reference defect is stated plainly, and so is an unbuilt behaviour or an untraced one.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, apart from test literals in `login/`, `death/` and `ui_script/death_tests.rs` that now use placeholder account and character names, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Six 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.
A second commit corrects one comment in `benilla-ui` (`unit_is_grey`: the reference's exclusion is players only). A third lowers `ui_script_wall`'s ceiling from 45 to 40: five gameplay files named `UiScript` only in comments the rewrite removed, and the ratchet asks for the number to follow.
Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#339 to #353 among them). 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 fully painted terrain layer covers fully: roads and rock no longer let about 6% of the grass underneath show through (2345)
- companion pets show their names, the saved camera pitch survives a login, and a missed resurrect offer no longer blocks later ones (2345)
- ESC on a quest giver closes it, browsing the auction house by category searches the right items, and abandon removes the quest you chose (2345)
- a profession window open at logout no longer reopens for the next character (2345)

- a creature walking a path no longer cuts its first corner: the path's first waypoint was dropped at decode (2342)
- two characters whose names differ only in accented or non-Latin letters no longer share macros, bindings and SavedVariables; a file that failed to load is not overwritten at logout (2342)
- custom chat channels survive a logout, a collapsed quest header keeps its quests watched, and a trackpad swipe scrolls as far as it adds up to (2342)
- a hearth off a zeppelin no longer lands back on its deck, and an opened lockbox with loot left in it unlocks (2342)
- every snapshot runs on Vulkan, in a container, before it ships (2344)

- an item is an object in the one index, and its enchant and lifetime countdowns are its own (2334, 2340)
- the server's stand state applies, a bag equipped into a bag slot fires BAG_OPEN, and the inspect echo is dropped on purpose (2339)
- the schedule census counts declared orders only, and the architecture walls gate leaks rather than the API (2337, 2338)
- one queue for every event into the UI is not built: the reference orders its events per mechanism, not by the wire (2341)

- the trainer window re-derives every service's state when your money, level, spells or talents change, instead of asking the server for a second list after a purchase (2333, 2336)
- the backpack button reads the stock bag scan: with Bagnon holding the bags it stays unlit, as the reference leaves it (2332)
- three unused dev switches retire, and fifteen others are named as instruments (2335)

- the cast ladder moves under the spell: try, target bind, the usable walk and the refusal rungs live in one place, and the cast reply sends a chained cast itself (2330)
- every server packet decodes through one exhaustive match, and an opcode-coverage script joins the reference's 387 handled opcodes against ours (2331)
- a landing that touches a platform seam compiles Linux and Windows first, and the seven WMO portal-cull audits join the tests (2331)

- a malformed MPQ, DBC, M2 or WDT file is refused instead of crashing the client, nine read sites bounded
- a test that needs the install or the addon corpus fails instead of skipping when the data is there; the Bagnon render suite runs again (2329)

- the pet, the group, the death arc, the animation layer, the combat log and the chat window register their own packet handlers (2321-2323)
- the spell gets a home of its own; the world feed, the name queries and the session register theirs, and the broadcast list retires (2324-2326)
- the object layer goes last: every packet the client decodes has a handler, and the dispatch match and its three staging maps are gone (2327)

- the six NPC windows — gossip, vendor, bank, trainer, stable master, taxi — register their own packet handlers and net/apply/npc.rs leaves the drain; a handler call measures ~25 ns, so the table can carry the busy families as it is (2318)
- the loot window, the group rolls and the inventory refusal register theirs (2319), then the questgiver panels, the quest log and the party share (2320): 273 → 149 kinds in the dispatch match since the table opened
- the show cascade is pinned against the reference's: ours notifies a parent before its children and snapshots the list, theirs is post-order and re-reads — a recorded gap, held by a test on the auction window (2317)

- the CVars are one engine-side table that outlives every interface reload: a change fires its observer, the eight latched rows wait for RestartGx, and /console gains set, cvar_reset, cvar_default, cvarlist and help (2303)
- every push into the interface runs in one feed phase after the net drain and before the tick, held by a structural test on the built schedule (2304)
- subsystems own their packet handlers, dispatched in packet order; the auction house is the first family out of the 273-arm drain (2305)

- inside a battleground the battle map draws its terrain, overlays, arrow and blips: the world map's selection carries the instance maps as the reference's third cell (2298)
- talent spell modifiers land: the 45 packets a level-60 login threw away fill the reference's two tables, and a spell's power cost reads them, so a cast you can afford is no longer refused (2298)
- a ghost's Accept on the spirit-heal dialog can no longer be eaten by frame order, and a latched spirit guide no longer follows you into the next character's session (2298)

- Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley are entered and censused beside Warsong Gulch, the flag is picked up, and a match runs to its end (2296)
- the animation variation roll is one clock-seeded stream, as the reference's C runtime is, not four streams seeded 0 (2299, 2301)
- a cancelled channel never turns the bar red and a finished one closes on the bar's own clock, now pinned by tests that drive the real packet sequence (2284)
- the field watch fires one edge per moved descriptor dword, from the merge that holds both sides (2297)

- the area spirit healer works: a ghost at a battleground graveyard is picked up by the reference's 20-yard poll, the resurrect dialog shows, and the wave brings the body back (2291)
- WOW_PROBE_BG enters Warsong Gulch by the real road, battlemaster, queue, port, and censuses the match from inside: terrain, world states, the readout, the scoreboard, the graveyard (2290)

- a GameObject whose animation slots disagree gets a material of its own: the Blood of Heroes pools bubble and the Freezing Trap's glow pulses (2295)
- three sound kits with a doubled separator in their path were silent, the flight-path-discovered chime among them; the Ashbringer's lines stay silent, as they are in 1.12 (2294)

- a channelled spell's bar reads "Channeling" rather than the spell's name, and stays orange: 1.12 tells a channel from a cast by its label and its drain, not by a green bar (2284)
- a shot's muzzle blast fires only when a projectile is queued, the reference's own gate, so a target-less shot shows none (2289)
- the eight hand-copied query caches, names, items, objects, page texts, quests, guilds, petitions and mail, are one generic cache, and a read that asks no longer takes the whole store exclusively (2288)
- the schedule's ambiguity ratchet counts by class, and the cast-fail argument table is closed: MIN_SKILL is the prospecting leg and cannot fire on 1.12 (2287, 2292)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a right-click on a meeting stone joins its queue: the stone's own join packet with its four refusals, and the stone you are queued at goes dark on the minimap frame (2283)
- the druid's Swipe draws its claw trail: spell effects run their authored texture scroll, each on its own cast's clock (2282)
- a gun's muzzle blast plays: the weapon model runs its own release animation, whose emitters were authored on the rifle and never had a clock (2281, 2286)
- README: battlegrounds are the one big feature left on the roadmap, now that meeting stones are in
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a cast refused for the wrong shapeshift form names it, "Must be in Cat Form", a two-form spell joined the reference's way, and the combat log reads its own buffer rather than the red line (2280, 2285)
- three refusals that never had a combat-log line, totems, reagents and equipped item class, get one; a pet's form refusal names one form (2285)
- the game's plugins are one group and the whole client builds headless in 0.12 s, so the schedule is a test subject: three one-shot consumers caught firing into the login drain are gated (2279)
- the net drain's parameters are named bundles, not nested tuples (2279)
