compat: math.huge and SetColorTexture, the two load blockers of the ported pair
Measured through `addon_harness` before anything was written, which is the only reason this
is two small changes rather than a guess at a list. Both `Addon_Ports` addons failed to load
at all; these are their first two stops.
**`math.huge` was nil, deliberately.** `stdlib_backport.rs` restores the 5.1 stdlib members
ClassicAPI backports, scoped to what the corpus calls, and `math.huge` was on the stated
"nothing calls them" list. `Cinematic/Core.lua:1103` is `local lastMovingOff = -math.huge`
at **file scope**, so the nil stopped the addon's main file dead ("attempt to perform
arithmetic on field `?`") and nothing after it ran — one site, but a load-time one, which is
the bar that table sets. The real `ClassicAPI.dll` carries `huge` in its own stdlib name
table beside `fmod`, `modf`, `gmatch`, `match`, `select`, `maxn`, `cosh` and `reverse`, so
this is what the client we already claim to be actually has.
Two tests pinned it absent and are updated rather than deleted: `lua50.rs`'s keeps asserting
this *layer* removes it (the registry stash is the proof), and `stdlib_backport.rs`'s keeps
the narrowness assertion for the four that stay gone. The new assertion is `-math.huge`,
because file-scope arithmetic is the shape that failed.
**`Texture:SetColorTexture`** is the modern spelling of `SetTexture`'s colour arm, which
1.12 already has (`0x770360`'s 8×8 solid surface, and `region/paint.rs` defaults the alpha
to 1 as it does). Retail split the names when `SetTexture` stopped taking a colour, so every
Era-era addon writes the new one. `Cinematic/Options.lua:701` paints its list border with it
and died at session start; OpenMapClassic its map chrome. Four lines of the same composition
chunk `SetShown` and the geometry pair use, and an `ALLOWED_BEYOND` row with both call sites
— `docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md` had it on the same "plausible and untraced" line as
`RegisterUnitEvent`, and this is that line's follow-through.
Movement, same harness both ways:
- Cinematic load: `Core.lua:1103` → `Frames.lua:2611` (~10 files further; wants
`RegisterUnitEvent` next). Session: `Options.lua:701` → `Options.lua:4130` (3400 lines on,
wants `SetWordWrap`).
- OpenMapClassic: unchanged at `DialogBorderOpaqueTemplate`, which neither fix touches.
benilla-ui 2076 passed, 0 failed. Full chain green.

assets: the shader asset type exists for an app with no render plugins
Every end-to-end asset-pipeline test — the M2, WMO, BLP and ADT loaders, the minimap's `load_with_settings` path and the Ironforge group grid — panicked with "Cannot allocate an Asset Handle of type 'bevy_shader::shader::Shader' because the asset type has not been initialized". `register_shaders`'s `load_shader_library!` calls allocate a `Handle<Shader>`, and on Bevy 0.18 it is the render plugins that initialise that type; a headless app has none, so all six went red at once on the upgrade. They are the only tests that exercise the loaders every zone load depends on, and the gate could not see it: each one is data-gated, so it skips without the install, and the no-install gate is the one that runs everywhere. Found by running the workspace suite with the install mounted — 44 red there against 0 on the gate. Initialised here when nothing else has, and **guarded**: `init_asset` *inserts* `Assets<Shader>`, so calling it unconditionally in the real app would drop every shader the render plugins had already loaded. benilla-assets: 109 passed, 0 failed (was 103 and 6). Full chain green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SgstFWtn1RxEJ5kVrpgYwn |

compat: the usable pair tells the truth — 1/0 from nampower's verb, the walk behind C_Spell's
Two defects in one pair of verbs, both found by reading what grom's addons do with what we answer rather than from a report. A DLL whose source is not to hand still has its contract written down: in the addons written against it. **`IsSpellUsable(id|name)` answers two numbers.** Ours gave 1/nil for the first — transcribed from `IsUsableAction`'s own convention — while already giving 0/1 for the second. Four readings in the corpus say otherwise, and `AlternativeClassicActionBars/Button.lua:1907` is the clearest: `elseif usable and usable ~= 0 then` is not a line anyone writes against a function that answers 1/nil. `SuperCleveRoidMacros/Core.lua:1035` labels its own branch "IsSpellUsable returned 0 = wrong stance/form, not enough power type", reading the value straight out of `pcall(IsSpellUsable, …)`. And the one with teeth: DoiteAuras' `_SafeSpellUsable` keeps a verdict only `if ok and u ~= nil` (`DoiteConditions.lua:970`), so a nil sent it down a fallback chain ending at `:1022`'s "treat as usable so icon doesn't die forever" — **every** Usable-mode aura lit on cooldown alone, stance, rage, range and reagents ignored. Answering the wrong shape and not answering at all land in the same place. 0 is truthy in Lua, so that was checked before changing it: no caller tests the value for truth unguarded, and the rest compare `== 1`. The DLL's string pool publishes the signature and the name-lookup error but not the return shape, and the five mirrors of the fork's `SCRIPTS.md` I could reach are each behind a Gitea login or 404 — the corpus was the better source. A name it cannot resolve raises there, which is why every caller wraps the call in `pcall`; ours answers `nil, nil`, and all four callers treat those identically. **`C_Spell.IsSpellUsable` was computing the wrong thing and raising on its caller's argument.** It was approximated as "known and not on cooldown" — the one reason upstream does *not* count (its own list is "hasn't learned it, lacks mana or reagents, reactive conditions haven't been met") and none of the ones it does. It now reads the same per-spell map the global does, the reference's usable walk (`0x6e3d60`), which agrees about cooldowns: "a running cooldown never greys here" (`spell/usable.rs` leg 11), leaving `GetSpellCooldown` the question about cooldowns. That makes it the honest answer for a reactive proc, which is exactly what its only caller asks: Overpower greys on the caster's combo-point byte (leg 5, `PLAYER_FIELD_BYTES` byte 1, the byte the server sets when the proc banks), so the walk answers it inside the proc window and nowhere else, while "off cooldown" showed it nearly always. pfUI's reactive indicator (`modules/nampower.lua:130`) passes a **name** against a `u32` signature, which mlua refuses for a non-numeric string — a raise once per frame while the indicator was switched on. `spell_ident` is shared now, so a name resolves through the book as the global's does. Both returns there stay booleans, unlike the global's: the caller hands the first straight to `SetShown`, where a numeric 0 would be truthy and show every icon forever. Two conventions, each its own caller's, written down where they live. Tests: the global's pair is asserted as `1|0` and `0|1`, with the callers' own accept test (`pcall` + `u ~= nil`) quoted as an assertion; `C_Spell`'s is asserted over Overpower outside and inside the proc window with nothing about cooldowns changing, by id and by name, plus the not-in-book case answering false rather than raising.

ui: an <IMG> with an empty src names no file
`src=""` was stored verbatim, so the region carried `texture: Some("")`, the resolve asked
the size probe for a nameless file and the renderer searched the patch chain for one and
logged `texture miss: ''` — a defect-shaped warning that can name neither a file nor an
asker. `""` clears on every other texture setter here, as the reference's path arm treats
it like nil (`0x770200`), and `a9ed091eb` closed the three that had stored one; this was
the last route in the UI that still could.
Found by sweeping the rest rather than by a new sighting, and two of the leads this list
carried are now dead: the `CursorPayload` arm it called most likely is unreachable in a
live session (`extract/mod.rs:1020` guards the whole block with `if capture.is_some()`),
and `PortraitSource::File` cannot be empty — `temporary_portrait` always returns a `.blp`.
The M2 and WMO sides filter at parse, and `texture_url("")` would read `'.blp'` rather than
`''`, so the warning's own text says the UI sprite path is where it came from.
Whether this closes the one line in grom's log is unproven: it sat in `benilla-2.log` at
+20.717s, that run may predate `a9ed091eb`, and three measurement launches have since
rotated his logs out. The test is the next sighting: with the filter removed it reports
`texture: Some("")`, and in the fixture the nameless path also reserved the probe's 48 px
of flow under the image — in game the probe answers nothing for a miss, so only the chain
search and the warning were real.

sound: a stream whose callback stopped is rebuilt, whatever the device layer said
cpal's ALSA loop exits on a `POLLERR` out of `alsa::poll()`, which reaches us as a `BackendSpecific` error — classified non-fatal there, because an xrun must not tear the stream down. So `device_died` was never set, nothing rebuilt, the ring filled, the render thread parked on a full ring and kira's renderer stopped advancing every sound in the mix. In grom's 2026-10-18 log that was four minutes of silence out of one `soggyplace-zone5.mp3`, cleared only by a worldport replacing the slot; the `3D sound(s) never played — the spatial-voice arena was full` count climbing to 267 in the same session is the proof that nothing at all was completing, music included. `StallWatch` reads the cycle count instead of the error string: a running stream that reports no cycle for 2 s is dead however it died, including with nothing raised at all, and `service` closes and reopens it exactly as it does a lost device. Reclassifying the error could not have worked — an xrun arrives in the same variant and the string is all we get. A window with no cycles is not a wall clock with no cycles. `service` runs once a frame on the main thread and a 4 s load hitch is one window the callback ran right through, so the span is taken between two `Instant`s and any window that saw a cycle resets it, however long that window was. That is the same trap as `510dda3d3`, one layer down. Measured while verifying it, and the reason for the other two pieces here: the rebuild held the main thread 4.5 s with the audio server down. Attributed with `WOW_SYSTEM_TIMING=1 WOW_STALL_MS=400` to `sound::poll_mix_health`, then split — close 5 ms, finding the default 2 ms, `Stream::open` 4521 ms. Opening a device is a blocking call into the host's audio stack. `SLOW_OPEN` now says so in the log, and the reopen wait backs off to 8 s while opens are slow or refused, so an outage costs one blocked frame per attempt instead of one a second. It did not happen in grom's own failure, where the server stayed up and the reopen would be instant. Taking the open off the main thread needs a device thread owning every open and close; not done here. Verified: four offline tests — a stream calling back at 3 ms frames, the 4.1 s login hitch arriving as one window of 380 cycles, a real stop named once on the limit, and the backoff's escalation — plus two live runs on Linux/PipeWire, restarting pipewire under a running client at the glue screen. Both read the same: position frozen, two genuine starve warns, `output stream dropped — the stream stopped calling back; reopening`, a reopen in the same frame, music advancing again. Before this, that was permanent. Built and run on Linux only; the device layer's own files are untouched apart from the comment that pointed the wrong way.

sound: the glue-music crackle never happened — a meter that summed frame deltas
`StreamWatch` asked "did this stream play as much audio as wall time passed?" by summing each frame's `Time<Real>` delta into `expected` and comparing it against the stream's own advanced position. But a Bevy clock delta describes the interval *ending* where the frame began, while `window_start` is stamped with `Instant::now()` part-way *through* a frame. So a window opened inside the 4 s world-entry frame was handed that entire 4 s by the next frame, as audible time that should have played — while the position, which tracks the speaker honestly, had advanced only by the window's real span. The difference was logged as injected silence. The tell was in the log all along: `position advanced` equalled the window `span` to the centisecond. When those two agree the audio was perfect, whatever `counted` says. All 101 "glue music stream starved" lines in every log to date are this artifact, plus 104 of 395 zone-music ones. Replaying the new formula over those logs silences all 205 and keeps all 291 real events — streams genuinely frozen with `position advanced 0.00 s`. Fixed by taking both ends of the window off one clock (`now - window_start`) and deleting the `dt` parameter outright, so the counted interval and the reported span are the same number by construction and no caller can supply an inconsistent delta. The old test `stream_watch_spans_the_window_it_counted` asserted exactly this invariant and passed, because its fixture fed a delta that agreed with its own wall clock — a fixture that supplies both sides of a relationship cannot test it. Replaced with the regression that matters: a stream which keeps up across a 4.1 s main-thread stall must not be reported, and one genuinely frozen through the same stall must still be named, or the fix has just deleted the meter. The warn now reports what it measured; "this is what a crackle sounds like" was read as evidence of a crackle and written into the defect backlog as one. `examples/stream_probe.rs` decodes a track through the chain exactly as kira's decoder does and compares the container's declared frame count against frames actually decoded — it killed the first hypothesis for the real dropout: 43 of 43 zone tracks are clean. The real dropout is still open and is not a crackle: one `alsa::poll()` POLLERR, which `output/cpal.rs` classifies as non-fatal and reports as "stream kept", and no sound advances again for the rest of the session.

formats: benilla-formats is green — the world-data goldens, and two tests that
were measuring nothing
The last 11. The realm reships `World\Maps\`, `HumanMale.m2` and
`TaxiPathNode.dbc`, so these tests had lost the *examples* they picked without
losing the properties they were for. Two had quietly stopped testing anything.
**A guard that was a proxy, not a fact.** The lava seam test skipped a vertex
whose UV was `[0.0, 0.0]`, standing in for "this vertex is dry". The realm's
lava leaves non-zero texcoords on undrawn verts, so 121 meaningless pairs were
entering the compare and one of them failed. Gating on the mesh's own `wet` map
instead leaves 277 pairs — the verts both neighbouring blocks actually draw —
and every one of them agrees. The invariant was never in doubt; the guard was.
**A keyless bone read as an empty band.** `empty_band_poses_the_bone` asserted
HumanMale's waist (bone 27) carries exactly one clamp key in Run. In the realm's
model bone 27 has no rotation or translation keys in *any* of its 156 sequences,
so there was nothing to clamp and the assertion was reading a keyless bone. The
subject is the five finger bones 100..=104 now: each appears in every one of the
156 sequences with exactly one clamp key at t = 0, which is the rule — an empty
band poses the bone and never drops it.
**The skeleton was renumbered, and the poses came with it.** 1.12's finger bone
102 is unposed at the HandsClosed frame; bone 47 carries the curl, within 0.004
of 1.12's `[0.2536, -0.016, 0.0577, 0.9654]`. Same for the eyelid: bone 75 ->
bone 24, still scale-only, still a 6633 ms loop that opens at t=0 and shuts
mid-loop. That the *pose* survived is what says renumbering rather than
re-animation, so the window arithmetic is still what is under test. (The model
does have HandsClosed throughout — `parse_m2_animations` not surfacing it is
exactly why the raw reader exists.) Ten new global-sequence bones came with it,
all parks: six 33 ms two-key constant scales and four rotation channels with
empty tables, recorded so a real loop appearing among them reads as a change.
**Tiles chosen instead of inherited.** `examples/liquid_scan.rs` walks a map and
reports which tiles still have each liquid property, so a re-recorded test names
a tile that was picked:
- the river mouth moved to `Azeroth_33_38`, three Still-over-Ocean chunks, all
disjoint — 1.12's 33_33 has no two-block chunk left. Four tiles *do* overlap
and are kept out deliberately: Kalimdor 26_54, 41_29, 41_30 and the realm's
own Azeroth 36_51, where 1.12 had only 26_54.
- the ocean depth divisor moved to `Azeroth_29_54`: 13210 depth bytes inside the
ramp and not one pinned at 255, so a wrong divisor cannot hide behind
saturation. 1.12's 41_41 carries no ocean at all now.
**The impassable band was thinned.** `Azeroth_33_44` authors 17 impassable
chunks where 1.12's copy had 48, and the chunk 1.46 yd east of the reported
`.go xyz -6601.98 -531.87 335.60` is among the ones it dropped — so the data no
longer walls the reported spot. The `Some(true)` leg would have stopped being
tested, so it moved to a column inside one of the 17 the realm does flag.
**The transport goldens no longer describe this client.** `TaxiPathNode.dbc` is
re-authored: 11219 rows against 9582, and 7975 rows kept their id while changing
path, index *and* coordinates. Path 436 is gone; the eight survivors miss
vmangos's 1.12 periods by −290815 to +271184 ms, and no transport path crosses
continents any longer. Closing that needs the realm's own transport periods,
which only live observation gives — so the calibration is a report now, with the
deltas printed on the same variant grid a future observation can be compared on.
What is still assertable is asserted: `client_period_ms` and the timetable's own
`period_ms` are one number on all eight. The two map-invariant tests never
needed a server period at all, so they run on taxi path 72 — 37 nodes over maps
{0, 1}, the only shipped path that still spans both — and additionally assert
that every transport golden is single-map, so none of them can silently stand in
for it again.
**benilla-formats: 445 passed, 0 failed.** `cargo fmt --all` and
`clippy -p benilla-formats --all-targets` clean.

formats: the realm's tenth race, and what it switched on
Four goldens, and three of them turn out to be the same fact: `ChrRaces.dbc` has a tenth row — id 10, **High Elf**, on the Blood Elf art (`ClientFileString` "BloodElf"), Alliance-side. - **Every talent tab opened to it.** All 27 `TalentTab` rows went raceMask 511 -> 1023, so race 10 takes every class's tree rather than being gated out of any; the test asserted the opposite, that "race bit 10 is outside 511". `Talent.dbc` itself was rebuilt too — 476 rows, 317 ids added, 273 removed, 159 changed — so the trees are the realm's, not 1.12's. - **Dwarf Mages are real here, and the gate was already written for it.** `chain_is_stock` calls a chain stock when no playable race exceeds 8, so this install read as stock until race 10 arrived and the `UNUSED_COMBOS` Dwarf-Mage skip kept applying; the test's "patched chain or not" passed by accident. The skip only ever modelled a compare in the *stock* executable at `0x4706b0`, and this install's own `WoW.exe` has none — the whole builder holds no immediate compare against 3 or 8 and gates on a `0xFE` sentinel (`cmpb $0xfe,0x1(%ecx)` at `0x4706e8`). Re-verified against the binary rather than trusted from the comment. `CharBaseInfo` grew 103 -> 139 bytes, which at 2 bytes a row is 18 new race/class pairs. - **`CharHairGeosets` was re-authored, and took a test's only coverage with it.** 299 rows against 148, 136 of the survivors rewritten, and 1.12's one duplicated key — the goblin male's variation 0, listed four times as geosets 1, 2, 1, 2 — is gone with none replacing it. That key was the *only* thing exercising the loader's first-row-wins rule, so re-recording the count alone would have quietly dropped it: `or_insert` could have become `insert` and nothing would have noticed. The hair decode is now a `hair_geosets_from_bytes` seam and a synthetic DBC replays 1.12's goblin block to pin the rule, plus the reverse order to prove the later row is discarded and not merged. The real-data test asserts the absence instead. Race 9 is where the re-authoring shows: the goblin has a full hair set for both sexes now, 14 male variations and 17 female, and the male's variation 0 is `GeosetID` 0 where 1.12's winning row said 1 — both land on scalp geoset 1, since `visible_geosets` takes `max(1, GeosetID)`. Also: - **WorldStateUI** 20 -> 34 rows, and the realm rewrote the text and tooltip on every one of 1.12's 20. Only 33 ids are distinct — **168 ships twice**, both map 0 / area 44, one reading "Banners Controlled: %3809w" and one "Tower Score : %3811w / %3813w". Safe, and checked rather than assumed: the catalog exposes no id lookup at all, only `rows()`, and the app filters by (map, area), so both readouts reach the frame — which is the only thing two rows under one id can have been meant to do. Four zones narrow by area where 1.12 had two, the new three being outdoor PvP: Redridge Mountains, Hillsbrad Foothills and Silithus. Live `StateVariable`s run to 3810 where 1.12's three all sat under 3000. - **WMOAreaTable** 21115 -> 26653 rows and 21105 -> 26570 distinct (wmo, nameset, group) keys, so the repeats went 10 -> 83; 5633 ids added, 95 removed, 4080 changed. benilla-formats: 16 -> 11 failures (and one test more than before). `cargo fmt` and `clippy -p benilla-formats --all-targets` clean.

stable: the realm sells four pet slots, and our window drew two
Found by the `StableSlotPrices.dbc` golden: the table has four rows where 1.12 had two, and `NUM_STABLE_SLOTS` was 3 (the current pet plus two). Three independent sources in the install agree on four, so this is not a guess: - `StableSlotPrices.dbc` ships 4 rows — 500c, 5g, 250g, and a fourth at one copper — against 1.12's two. - the realm's own `PetStable.lua` (patch-4) declares `NUM_PET_STABLE_SLOTS = 4`. - the realm's `WoW.exe` caps the purchase at four, and `0x4cb0bf` reads straight across: `cmp $0x4,%eax; je refuse` on the bought count, then `inc %eax` and `cmp 0xc0d728,%eax; jg refuse` against the price table's max id — which is exactly `num_stable_slots != NUM_STABLE_SLOTS - 1 && next_slot_cost != 0`. So the window drew two slots the server would happily sell, and `GetStablePetInfo(3)`/`(4)` answered nothing: the last two buttons were dead. `NUM_STABLE_SLOTS` is 5 now, the gate's comment cites the realm's binary rather than 1.12's 2, and the test fixture helper takes however many leading slots a case cares about so the existing three-slot fixtures still read. Also five goldens re-recorded, two of them findings: - **The spam filter is one line now.** patch-4 ships a 93-byte `SpamMessages.dbc` of one row where `patch.MPQ`'s 2161 bytes held 28, and the chain takes the whole winning file rather than merging ids — so Blizzard's 28 gold-seller patterns are gone and what is left matches a rival server's address, whitespace-tolerant between every letter. - **`md5translate.trs` stopped hashing.** 9794 rows against 8401, and an Azeroth tile now resolves to the readable path `Azeroth\map32_48.blp` rather than `ea283abc0bf9637c3fad5e840a65b38b.blp`. The realm ships the tile at that path in patch-4; 1.12's hashed copy is still in `texture.MPQ` at the same 33940 bytes, so only the table moved and the lookup still has one job. - ItemSet 172 -> 363 rows, and Defias Leather (161) gained a sixth item, 81007, one of the realm's own. Every one of 1.12's 172 sets also gained a name in five more locales — the same five-locale fill the realm gave `EmotesText`. - NPCSounds 156 -> 247, purely additive; the one pre-existing row patch-4 touched is 90, which gained two kits. benilla-formats: 21 -> 16 failures. `cargo fmt` and `clippy -p benilla-formats -p benilla-ui -p benilla-app --all-targets` clean.

formats: the world-map goldens, and a nondeterministic continent lookup
The four map tables against the realm's own files. One real bug, and three findings that are the realm's data rather than ours. **`WorldMapArea::continent` was a coin flip.** It `find`s the `area_id == 0` row for a map id, and 5875 had exactly one per map so order never mattered. The realm ships two for map 0 — 14 "Azeroth" and its own 694 "World" — and the lookup iterated the `by_id` `HashMap`, whose order is seeded per process. So `continent(0)` answered Azeroth or World depending on the run. Now it walks file order, which is the reference's own walk and picks 1.12's row; the test asserts 14 and passes eight runs in a row where it used to flip. - **WorldMapArea** 51 -> 132 rows loaded, of 175 in the file. The 43 dropped are dropped on purpose: `AreaName` empty, `AreaID` 0, the whole rect zero, one per instance map (33 Shadowfang through 533 Naxxramas, then the realm's 800s). An instance has no continent art — but `AreaID == 0` is exactly what `ui_world_map.rs:146` reads as "this row is a continent", so keeping them would put 43 unnamed continents in `GetMapContinents()`. `str_at` folds an empty string to `None` and the row falls out; the test now pins that as deliberate. The realm's third *named* continent is 694 "World", a second sheet over map 0 whose art ships (patch-M) but whose four rect columns are all zero — the only named row like that. `map_proj::zone_uv` already refuses a zero span and answers 0.0 instead of dividing, so that sheet puts a blip in the corner rather than NaN. - **WorldMapContinent** 2 -> 3 rows. The new row's `MapID` is 42, which the same patch *deleted* from `Map.dbc` along with the rest of 1.12's dev test maps (13 "Testing", 25 "Scott Test", 29 "CashTest", 37 "Azshara Crater", 42 "Collin's Test", 44 "<unused> Monastery"). It is inert rather than broken: the continent list comes from `WorldMapArea`, and this table is only ever reached by `wmc.get(map_id)` for maps 0 and 1, so nothing asks for continent 42. - **The zone bitmaps are repainted.** `Azeroth.zmp` and `Kalimdor.zmp` have the realm's own copies in patch-3 and patch-4, and every id they write is a **zone** where 1.12 wrote sub-areas and left the client to roll them up. Azeroth: 1874 labelled cells over 34 distinct ids, all zone-level, against 2630 over 334 of which 310 were sub-areas (Northshire Valley, Crystal Lake, Fargodeep Mine). After the one-hop rollup `ui_world_map.rs:193` applies, 1280 cells agree, 534 name a *different* zone, 816 lost a zone and 60 gained one — a redrawn map, not a mechanical flattening. Nothing of ours needed changing: the rollup is a no-op on an already-flat grid. The test asserts the structural claim behind the number (every labelled cell is a top-level zone), which 1.12's own file would fail, so a decode slip cannot hide inside a re-recorded count. - **WorldMapOverlay** 526 -> 707, and not an extension: 360 ids added, 179 removed, 347 survivors given a different texture and rect. None of this table's numbering is 1.12's, so only the joins are worth asserting. `dbc_diff` gained `--row=N`, which dumps a row from the winning copy *and* the baseline — the only way to read a row the realm deleted, which is how the six test maps above got their names. benilla-formats: 25 -> 21 failures, no regressions.

formats: re-record the sound and visual goldens, and a tool to say what moved
Six modules' data goldens against the realm's own files, plus the thing that made the last three honest rather than guessed: `examples/dbc_diff.rs`. The tool reads the copy of a DBC the chain *wins* and the copy it shadows and diffs them row by row. `Chain::copies` is ascending priority and several `patch-*` archives are mounted, so 1.12's own file is usually still underneath the realm's; the baseline is the highest copy in a stock archive (`dbc.MPQ`, `patch.MPQ`, `patch-2`) so the diff reads "what OctoWoW changed about 1.12". Schema-free — field 0 is the id, a row is its raw 4-byte slots — so an undecoded column still shows up as "id N differs at slot K". `--row=N` dumps a row with its text slots as text, which is how three ids below got names. Two findings, both the shape of a reference into a table that has no such row: - **The glow band.** The realm rewrote `ItemDisplayInfo.dbc` (patch-5) and left `ItemVisuals.dbc` as 1.12's out of base `patch.MPQ` — 34 rows, ids `1..=134`. 22 ids its new displays name run past that end, where a later expansion's table continues, so 61 items wear no glow. The reference drops them exactly as we do (`0x479700` skips a visual id past the max id), so this is the realm's data, not our decode. Pinned by id with the displays behind each. - **The silent kits.** `SoundEntries.dbc` grew 4623 -> 8805 rows and 4764 of its 16537 variation cells name a file the chain has not got: 236 directories hold no file at all (LesserManaFiend, ChineseDragon, ZoneMusic\BloodElf), and the ones that exist miss the TBC boss voices — Illidan, Akama, Lady Vashj, Kael'thas — plus 552 of `Sound\Doodad`. What makes that an observation about the data and not about our path join is *where* the misses fall: of the 2834 kits with a dead variation, 2832 have an id past 4623, the last row 5875 shipped. A faulty separator would miss evenly across old rows and new. Only 395 OgreFidget and 3792 WaterFallLarge predate the realm, and only 3792 is wholly silent, so nothing that used to make a sound has gone quiet. The rest are censuses re-recorded with their 5875 figures beside them. Every one is safe to re-record for a mechanical reason: `benilla-dbc` fails the load outright when a schema's expanded field count differs from the header's (`lib.rs:215`), so a test that *reaches* a count assertion has already proved its layout unchanged. - SoundEntries 4623 -> 8805 rows, EAXDef census (2072,2,2549) -> (6241,4,2560), type-17 NPC voices 275 -> 529 (still every one authored dry), variation cells 8961 -> 16537. Kit 8940's ten ASH_SPEAK misses stay, and now assert *why*: the asset ships and it is the authored leading `\` that cannot reach it. - VocalUISounds 533 -> 688 rows, live normal kits 785 -> 1085. - ItemSounds nonzero field-11 20513 -> 32728. - CreatureSoundData 406 -> 525 rows. A fifth row carries pet barks, and `dbc_diff` settles what it is: row 348 is 1.12's own and columns 27-29 are the only thing patch-4 changed about it, filled with the Imp's own kits — so an imp barks whichever of its three models is in play, `Creature\Imp\Imp.mdx` and TBC's `Impoutland` and `Moargminion`. Row 348 says nothing else at all. - SpellVisual 2165 -> 2313, SpellVisualKit 1772 -> 1969, SpellChainEffects 18 -> 21, chain CharProc census (68,48,20) -> (110,51,59). The three new beams are HarvestBeam, SpiritLinkBeam and Beam_ChainIron_NoAlpha, and unlike the sound rows the art ships with them; 23 zeroes every parameter the others animate. All three keep 1.12's segment length. - ItemVisuals: enchants carrying a glow 102 -> 109, and 108 of 109 resolve — still exactly the one -1, so every new glowing enchant names a row that exists. Only the display side dangles. benilla-formats: 38 -> 25 failures, no regressions.

The creature tables, and three things in them worth more than a count
`CreatureDisplayInfo` is 13452 rows where 5875 had 10534 and `CreatureModelData` ships different art under the same paths, so every census over them moved. Field counts are unchanged (12 and 16), so the layouts are intact. Three are findings, not bookkeeping: - **One display row dangles.** Display 185's `modelId` is 0 — it points at no `CreatureModelData` row at all, which 1.12 had none of. The blood-tier walk skips it because there is no model to read a column from, and our client falls back the same way: no model, nothing to draw. Pinned by id so a *second* dangling row gets looked at rather than absorbed. - **Five races' collision boxes no longer match their columns.** The realm ships its own character art under unchanged paths, and the boxes moved while the DBC columns stayed: OrcMale and TrollMale carry a 2.031 box (HumanMale's — a reused rig) under columns of 2.361 and 2.083, DwarfMale 1.607 under 1.667, TrollFemale 2.427 under 1.839, GnomeFemale 1.056 under exactly 1.0. The column stays authoritative, which is the part that matters: the reference reads it and not the model (`0x60b270` → `0x6174b0`), so the depth lines follow the column and an orc's swim line sits a little above where its art suggests. The exception list asserts they still *dis*agree, so a race coming back into line gets the entry deleted instead of a stale carve-out. - **The prism floor is exercised now, not inert.** Five `CreatureModelData` rows scale below 1 (2602, 2719-2722 at 0.4 down to 0.2) where 1.12 had none, which is exactly where `max(SCALE_X, display scale)` bites. The arithmetic it exercises already has its own test in `entities::collision_height`, so this one names the five rows and points at it; the test is renamed for what it now says. Also: HumanMale's footprint is 10 inches long and 14 wide, where 1.12 authored 12 and 10 — and every display wearing that body answers the same pair, so the `find` over a `HashMap` above it cannot make the assertion flap. The rest are censuses with their 5875 figures beside them: the display table 10534 → 13452, blood tiers [36, 9903, 595] → [48, 12516, 887], breath-suppressing models 99 → 181, footstep-shake rows 25 → 35, split-blood duplicates 8 → 11.

The spell table's goldens, and four more realm changes in them
`Spell.dbc` is 28046 rows where 5875 had 22357, with rows retuned as well as added, so every tally over it moved. Field count is still 173, so the layout is intact and these are data. Four are gameplay, not bookkeeping: - **Bloodrage is free.** 1.12 charged 20% health (power type `0xFFFF_FFFE`, `mana_cost_pct` 20); all three cost columns are zero here. Not a slip — the Life Tap loop directly above reads `0xFFFF_FFFE` out of the same column and passes. - **Health Funnel costs 3 up front and 6 per second**, where 1.12 took 11 and 5. - **Auto Shot works with thrown weapons.** Its mask is `0x5000c` — subclass bits 2 Bow, 3 Gun, **16 Thrown**, 18 Crossbow — where 1.12's `0x4000c` had the three ranged ones only. - **Shiv joined the deferred-start class**, so it starts the auto-attack at the GO rather than the send, like the other openers and positional strikes. And one piece of the realm's own authoring worth having written down: three custom spells carry a `SpellFamilyName` outside vmangos's set — 57091/57092 "Flamewave" and "Flamewave Effect" with 64, 57089 "Grellfire" with `0x100000` — a family *name* field filled in as though it were a bitmask. All three have zero family flags, so nothing the modifier gate walks ever reads them. The histogram names them rather than the test being widened to swallow them. The rest are tallies, each now carrying its 5875 figure beside it so the drift stays legible: `SpellDuration` 82 → 86, channeled rows 323 → 427 (own-name 9 → 14, bar-suppressing 2 → 6), `Targets == 0x10` 363 → 465 and `0x4000` 103 → 118, `modalNextSpell` 57 → 77 (52 → 67 naming Auto Shot), `manaCostPerlevel` 72 → 77, multi-bit family rows 322 → 466, and the highest family bit 35 → 53 — still inside the 64-bit pair, which is what that one is really guarding.

Nine more goldens, and four of them are realm features worth knowing
Second golden batch. Field counts were re-checked first and are still intact everywhere, so again these are the realm's data and not a misread column. Four are things grom would want to know about his own realm, not bookkeeping: - **The professions need no tools.** Mining (2575) carried the Mining Pick and Skinning (8613) the Skinning Knife in 1.12; both are `[0, 0]` here, as are Herbalism, Blacksmithing, Cooking and First Aid. You gather bare-handed, and the pre-send possession check (`0x6e4000`) has nothing to refuse. Read rather than assumed: 362 rows still carry a tool — Pick Lock still wants its thieves' tools (5060) — so it is six rows blanked in the data, and the reagent columns beside them are untouched, which Slow Fall's Light Feather shows. - **There is a shipped World channel**, row 27, flags `0x9` — global and auto-joined, with no `%s` in its pattern because there is one of it. 1.12 had no row at all; there "World" was a player-made channel like any other, which is exactly what the old test asserted. - **Thalassian is implemented.** Spell 813 was "Thalassian (NYI)" declaring Common in 1.12 and declares language 10 here, so nine player languages have both a declaring spell and a skill line where 1.12 had eight. It goes with a **tenth `ChrRaces` row**, which speaks Common and is therefore Alliance-side. - **Emote text ships five locales**, not four: ruRU arrived in column 5 — the column this very test used as its "unshipped" case. The dry-ladder case moved to 1/2/8 and the five that compose are asserted, so a column sliding under the ladder cannot pass unnoticed. The rest are counts and rows: `LockType` has a fourth cursor row (id 20, "Survival", reusing `PickLock`), `ItemBagFamily` has twelve rows with the realm's four profession bags (Meat, Fish, Leather, Mining Supplies), `EmotesText` 169 → 171, and a fourth spell carries `SPELL_ATTR_EX3_NO_CASTING_BAR_TEXT`.

Eleven data goldens, and the gesture scan's order now matters
First batch of the benilla-formats goldens, all of them the realm's tables being bigger or retuned rather than anything misread. The safety check came first and is worth recording: **every `*_FIELDS` constant in the crate still matches its live DBC header** — Spell 173, AreaTable 25, CreatureFamily 18, Talent 21, Lock 33 and the rest — so no decoder is reading a moved layout, which is the only way one of these counts could have been a defect rather than data. Added `examples/dbc_shapes` to read that off the chain in one go. Counts: `AnimationData` 208 → 227, `AreaPOI` 339 → 483, `AreaTrigger` 432 → 530 (172/144 across the two continents, from 133/121), `AreaTable` 1081 → 1481, `GameTips` 74 → 95, cinematics 10 → 13 sequences and cameras both. Three that are more than a count: - **Rested experience is ×1.5 here, not ×2.** `Exhaustion.dbc` row 1 is where the client reads the multiplier it shows, and the realm retuned it. Every vanilla guide quotes 2.0. - **The help window offers two ticket categories, not ten** — "report someone's behavior" and "an issue with my character" replace 1.12's Stuck/Guild/Item/… list. - **Warlock minion pet icons are blank.** `CreatureFamily` rows 15-19, 23, 28, 29 carry no icon where 1.12 gave each one a path, so `GetPetIcon()` answers nil for a minion and an addon that concatenates it unguarded gets nothing. Not a column slip: every hunter family in the same column answers a real path. The realm also backported the TBC families (Dragonhawk, Ravager, Warp Stalker, Sporebat, Nether Ray, Serpent), added four of its own (Fox, Plagued, Horse, Moth) and filled two minion ids, Incubus 18 and Felguard 29 — 35 families where 5875 had 23. And `Emotes.dbc`'s gesture scan, which was pinned on a premise that has stopped holding: 1.12 had one row per gesture bit, so the walk order could not matter. The realm's file has three rows carrying `0x8` and a row (424) carrying `0x8|0x10|0x20`, so it matters now — and **our scan is already right**, which the disassembly settles rather than luck. `0x603a60` walks the table backwards (`imul $0x1c` to the end, `sub $0x1c` per step) and overwrites each slot, so the earliest record survives; and its bit test is an if/else-if chain, so one row fills at most the slot of its first set bit. Ours walks forward keeping the first, with `position` for the chain — the same table. The test now asserts that rule, re-derived from the file, instead of counting carriers.

Read the client's key enum out of WoW.exe — the fact KEY_DOWN was blocked on
`KEY_DOWN`/`KEY_UP` were the last two nampower events left unfired, and the blocker was never effort: it was the client's numeric `KEY_*` enum. The DLL's own strings publish four values (`KEY_NONE=-1`, `KEY_SHIFT=0`, `KEY_A=65`, `KEY_ESCAPE=512`, `KEY_F1=768`) — enough to see three banks and not enough to name a key past the first in any of them, and a guessed code is worse than no event, since an addon switching on `arg1` would silently never match. It is in the binary, in the name parser `SetBinding` resolves a key string through (`0x4886f0`), and the arithmetic is in the instructions rather than inferred: - **ASCII, bank 0** — a printable key is its own byte (`movsbl (%esi)`), which is why `KEY_A` is 65. - **Numpad, `0x100`** — the digit character plus `0xd0` (`add $0xd0,%edi` at `0x48875b`), so `NUMPAD0 = 0x100`..`NUMPAD9 = 0x109`, then `+ - * / .` at `0x10a`..`0x10e`, each reached by its own character compare. - **Specials, `0x200`** — contiguous from `ESCAPE = 0x200` through `PAGEDOWN = 0x20d`, then a hole, `NUMLOCK = 0x20f`, two more holes, `PRINTSCREEN = 0x212`. Every one is a `mov $imm,%edi` in the chain at `0x4888a0`..`0x488a20`; the holes are codes this parser assigns to no name. - **Function keys, `0x300`** — `0x2ff + n` (`add $0x2ff,%edi`), so `F1 = 768` as published, and `NUMPADEQUALS` sits past them at `0x30c`, from the parser's own `=` arm. Transcribed into `bindings::chord::key_code`, which composes with the existing `key_token`, with a test per bank and the three published values as its anchors. `CAPSLOCK`, `SPACE` and the mouse-wheel names are in the client's name table at `0x846c20` but take no code from this parser, so they answer `None` rather than a number nobody can check — and a second test walks every token `key_token` can produce and fails on any that has neither a code nor a written-down reason. No caller yet, and that is the honest state: what is left for the events is a **producer** on the keyboard path, which is nampower's hook and the same hook the press-interception queue uses, so it belongs with that decision rather than ahead of it. `docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md` now says so instead of naming the enum as the blocker.

texture miss: '' was three setters storing an empty path
`Texture:SetTexture("")` already cleared, and so did a button's slot setters — the reference treats
nil and `""` alike on the path arm (`0x770200`). But `SetStatusBarTexture`, `SetThumbTexture` and
the two `ColorSelect` setters stored the empty string, so the region reached the extractor as
`path: Some("")`, and the renderer asked the patch chain for a nameless file.
What that cost is less than the warning suggested, and the comments say so rather than the opposite:
both the decode and the warning are cached per key, so it was one chain lock and two candidate
reads, once. The damage was the line itself — a defect-shaped warning with nothing under it, in a
client where a real `texture miss` is worth reading. pfUI blanks textures this way in a dozen
places, which is why it showed up at all.
Measured both ways: the new test reports `[""]` with any one guard removed, and three UI captures
(`ui-char`, `ui-options`, `ui-actionbar`) now log zero `texture miss` of any kind. His own
2026-10-28 log has the line once, at 20.7 s.

The realm's flight network is bigger than 1.12's, and a second capture point
All of today's update, measured rather than assumed. `TaxiNodes.dbc` 85 -> 122 rows (37 new nodes,
the boat and canoe routes among them) and `TaxiPath` 287 -> 364 hops, field counts unchanged in
both — which is the half that would have broken the decode.
What moved with them:
- **Stormwind's node is "Stormwind, Elwynn Forest"**, where stock clipped it to "Elwynn".
- **The Stormwind -> Sentinel Hill hop is id 1**, not 6; id 6 is now Stormwind -> Ironforge at 50
copper. The 110-copper fare did not move.
- **Path 302 is 23 nodes and stays on Eastern Kingdoms**, where 1.12's was 36 and crossed. The
cross-continent property and the flag-2 landing stops both moved onto the paths that cross, so
they are pinned on path 72 now — 37 nodes over maps {0,1}, two stops at node indexes 11 and 29,
60 seconds each. That a path *can* cross is the thing the decode has to keep answering, since the
map is per node and not per path. 302 and 285 are asserted as the straight runs they now are.
- **One node is genuinely outside its continent's taxi rectangle**: `Canoe: Icepoint Rock -
Darkshore` sits at x = 13651.5 where Kalimdor's `WorldMapContinent.dbc` box ends at 12470, so it
projects 4.85% below the map. `project` is the reference's own arithmetic, so the real client
draws that blip off the art too — it joins Programmer Isle as a named exception rather than a
loosened tolerance. The other 121 rows are inside.
And Eastern Plaguelands' `WorldStateUI` readout is four rows, not three: the realm added a second
`CAPTUREPOINT`, scoped to the whole of map 0. Its StateVariable is unset in the fixture, so its
`state` is 0 — and handing it up anyway is right, because the filtering is the reference's own Lua
(`WorldStateFrame_Update`'s `if ( state > 0 )`, `WorldStateFrame.lua:41`). The zone-scoping test now
asserts what actually matters: no *live* row escapes its zone.
All seven gates green.

The realm's group-finder keybinding, which arrived with today's update
`Bindings.xml:637-639` declares `TOGGLEGROUPFINDER`, `GlobalStrings.lua:442` labels it "Toggle Group Finder", and its body is a plain call into the realm's own group finder (`LFT_Toggle`, `LFT\LFT.lua:1097`) which `benilla.toc` already loads — so there was nothing engine-side to build, only the row to carry. Unbound by default, because the realm ships no default key for it. That is 229 live bindings where stock 1.12.1 has 228, and both halves of the binding gate now say so. It is also the one thing the realm-update checklist missed this morning: I counted toc rows, FrameXML digests, DBC shapes and census results, and never counted `Bindings.xml` rows. Worth a line on that checklist. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SgstFWtn1RxEJ5kVrpgYwn |

The reader is pushable now, and a letter covers rather than evicts
The last two UI integration files, both resting on `UIPanelWindows` rows the realm changed.
`ItemTextFrame` is `{ area = "left", pushable = 5 }` where 1.12's row was `pushable = 0`. That made
the reader and a quest giver's gossip left-slot rivals which replaced each other and ended each
other's session on the way out; pushable, they share the screen — one takes left, the other slides
to centre, in either order, and neither `CloseItemText` nor `CloseGossip` is queued. The test is
renamed for what it now proves. Its page bodies also pick up the realm's own three trailing
newlines on both arms of the creator fork (`ItemTextFrame.lua:41-46`), where 1.12 wrote two.
`OpenMailFrame` has no `UIPanelWindows` row at all, so `ShowUIPanel` takes its first branch — a
bare `frame:Show()` that claims no slot (`UIParent.lua:920-923`) — and a letter therefore *covers*
the centre occupant instead of evicting it. The eviction runs one way only: the letter is a
`UIChildWindows` member, so the next panel to seat anywhere hides it. And it has to **arrive** to
do that: `ShowUIPanel` returns on its first line for a frame already shown, so asking for the sheet
again while it is up reaches no slot and hides nothing.
Workspace: 191 red → 134, with zero regressions (`comm` against the pre-session list). Every one of
the 57 was in `ui_script` or these two files, and that whole surface is now green: 1113 `ui_script`
tests, `item_text_frame`, `mail_frame`, `message_keys`, `cover_input_wall`, `character_stats`. What
is left is the benilla-formats data goldens, which are documented separately and were red before.
All seven gates green.

Five stock options checkboxes were inert, and GetCVar raised where it should answer
Two product fixes behind the last three red UI tests.
**`GetCVar`/`GetCVarDefault` no longer raise on a nameless ask.** The realm's own options window
depends on it: the checkbox loop calls `GetCVar(value.cvar)` for every row in its table
(`UIOptionsFrame.lua:265`), and the rows driven by a saved variable carry no `cvar` at all — so a
nil reaches the verb every time the window loads. The reference reads the argument with
`lua_tostring`, which answers NULL for anything but a string or a number, and a NULL name matches
no row, so the push is nil. `SetCVar` is deliberately left raising, and that is not a guess:
`0x488c10` checks `lua_isstring(1)` and falls into
`luaL_error("Usage: SetCVar(\"cvar\", value [, \"scriptCvar\")")`, with `0x6f4940` being `luaL_error`
itself (`where` + `pushvfstring` + `concat 2` + `lua_error`). A write with no name is a mistake; a
read with no name is a miss.
**The action-bar block now loads above the stock interface-options window**, which is the inverse
of 1.12's order and has to be. Stock patched the five multibar rows of `UIOptionsFrameCheckButtons`
from `MultiActionBarFrame_OnLoad`, under a comment calling itself a "Hack to get around load order
dependencies" — that hack is what let the window load first. The realm gutted the function
(`MultiActionBars.lua:7-12`) and wrote the readers into the table literal instead
(`UIOptionsFrame.lua:58-62`, `func = MultiBar1_IsVisible`), where they capture whatever the globals
are at the window's own load. Loaded above the bars, all five captured nil, those five checkboxes
read and wrote nothing, and `UIOptionsFrame_Save` fell through to `SetCVar(nil, ...)` and raised —
so pressing Okay abandoned the rest of the save. `reference_ui`'s shadowing gate is what kept this
honest: the first arrangement I tried let the stock window overwrite our own `UpdateNameplates`.
Also: the stock video-options window is gone as 1.12 knew it. The realm rewrote `OptionsFrame.xml`
into a searchable category panel — `OptionsFrameCategoryList*`, two scroll frames, a search box,
twenty result rows — keeping only the frame, its header and the three footer buttons. Gone with the
old page: `OptionsFrameDisplay`, `WorldAppearance`, `Brightness`, `PixelShaders`, `Miscellaneous`,
the three resolution/refresh/multisample dropdowns, `OptionsFrameSlider1..9` and
`OptionsFrameCheckButton1..18`. Worth stating rather than asserting around: **pfUI's options-video
skin walks those names and finds none of them**, so on this realm it skins nothing there.
And `MULTI_ACTION_BAR_STAND_INS` is retired — it existed to pre-create the rows that hack needed,
and nothing indexes the table before `UIOptionsFrame.lua` declares it.
All seven gates green. `ui_script` is 1113 green, 0 red.

A double load, a stand-in that won a race, and the unified ActionButtonUp
Three of these are the harness telling the truth about load order, which is worth more than the tests they unblocked: - **The load ledger now guards a file a kit names twice**, not just a prerequisite. A second load builds a second frame under the same name, the global keeps one of them, and the reference's own `parent == MultiBarRight` (`ActionButton.lua:363`) then reads false for a button whose parent really is the bar. The toc names each file once; a kit should too. - **`MultiActionBars.xml` belongs before `BonusActionBarFrame.xml`** (toc rows 48 and 84), and the order is load-bearing: `ShapeshiftBar_OnLoad` runs `UIParent_ManageFramePositions` at load, whose stand-in pass seats a hidden parentless frame for every managed name still absent — `MultiBarRight` among them — and a frame's publish to `_G` never overwrites (`0x701bd0`). The stand-in kept the global for good and the anchor fork read the wrong side. - **`paperdollframe.xml` must not name `UIDropDownMenu.lua`** beside its `.xml`. The XML brings its own `<Script file=>`; naming the chunk again **re-ran** it, and the file declares `UIDROPDOWNMENU_DEFAULT_TEXT_HEIGHT = nil` at scope while `DropDownList1`'s OnLoad is what fills it from Button1's font. The second run put the nil back, and then every dropdown row went to `SetFont(STANDARD_TEXT_FONT, nil)` — a usage refusal that took out a whole file's OnLoads, seven at a time. The ledger could not catch it: a `<Script file=>` chunk never passes through `load_entry`. `uidropdownmenu.xml` also gained `Fonts.xml` as a prerequisite for the same height. - **`ActionButtonUp` is one body now** (`ActionButton.lua:27-46`): it picks the bonus or the normal button and passes the caller's own `onSelf` through. Stock's separate BONUS branch handed `UseAction` a literal 0, so ALT-1 in a stance drove the bonus page without self-casting. Gone. - The bonus bar is driven by an offset plus `UPDATE_BONUS_ACTIONBAR`, not a bare `Show()`: the event is the only thing that runs `ActionButton_Update` on that row, and a button registers `ACTIONBAR_UPDATE_COOLDOWN` only inside its `HasAction` arm — while the event's own handler hides the bar again when the offset is 0, so both halves are needed. - And `tooltip_compare`'s player needed the name `CharacterFrame_OnShow` gsubs unguarded.

The keyring grows in rows, the rank is art, and two fixtures I left behind
- **Keyring**: `GetKeyRingSize` has no level term at all — it scans for the highest filled slot
and rounds up to a multiple of four (`ContainerFrame.lua:817-844`), expanding only when the key
count has caught up with that slot. So one key is one row of four, four keys in four slots grow
to eight rather than refusing a fifth, and full is all 32. The realm also **fixed** 1.12's silent
refusal: it renamed the message to `NO_EMPTY_KEYRING_SLOTS_ERROR` and defined it
("Your keyring is full."), where stock printed a name that did not exist.
- **Bag tooltip**: the item-button `OnUpdate` accumulates toward `TOOLTIP_UPDATE_TIME` instead of
counting down from it (`:694-704`), and reads the threshold before adding — so a landing template
repaints an open plate two frames after it crosses a fifth of a second, not on the next frame.
- **Raid grid**: the rank is a `$parentRankIcon` Texture now (`Blizzard_RaidUI.xml:49`), set to
`RAID_LEADER_ICON`/`RAID_ASSISTANT_ICON` (`:100`, `:155-161`). The `$parentRank` FontString that
held "(L)"/"(A)" is still declared and never written.
- **Ready check**: the realm moved it into its own group UI (`Turtle_GroupUI.lua:259`) and
`RaidFrameReadyCheckButton`'s OnClick calls `GroupFrame_InitiateReadyCheck` by name, so
`load_social_ui` seats that file; without it the button clicks into a nil.
And two fixtures that were mine to fix and I missed: `quest_tests`' detail and reward panels still
carried `item_id: 0`, which `3f2982445` taught the counters to take-while out of existence. Same
correction as the `benilla-ui` fixture in that commit, with the reason written where it is read.

The panel registry, the map's own row, and a test that raced
`UIParent.lua`'s registry moved under three tests at once:
- `ItemTextFrame` is `pushable = 5`, so the reader shares the screen instead of replacing what is
there; `QuestLogFrame` is `area = "doublewide"` with `width = 690`, not a left-slot window, so a
`whileDead` open seats at the doublewide slot and leaves the left one empty; and
`UIChildWindows` has five rows, the realm having added `ReputationDetailFrame`.
- `SetUIPanel` runs `CloseChildWindows()` for **any** slot it seats (`UIParent.lua:792-796`), not
just the centre one, so a window merely pushed across also puts the open letter away. The test
that pinned the stock trigger now watches both halves go.
- `user_placed_layouts()` is not empty after a manifest load, and should not be: the realm's own
movable windows stamp themselves in their OnLoad — `PlayerFrame.xml:488-489` is
`SetMovable(1) SetUserPlaced(true)`, the same feature as the `MOVE`/`MOVE_RESET` rows in their
right-click menus — and `TargetFrame`, the Turtle shop, transmog and guild bank do likewise. The
map test now asserts about its own row rather than about the file being empty.
- The blip tooltip calls `UnitName("player")` (`WorldMapFrame.lua:660`), which reads the player
record; `load_default_ui` seats a placeholder one so the realm's files have a race and class at
load, so a test that wants a named player names the record, after the manifest.
And one real race, not a realm change: `a_binding_table_resolves_whatever_case_the_package_spelled_it_in`
moves `BENILLA_HOME` and `WOW_CAPTURE` without taking `ENV_LOCK`. It was the only env-moving test
in that module missing it, and the collision shows up as a *neighbour* reading the wrong roster —
which is how it surfaced here, two addons tests failing in the full run and passing alone.

Seven more: the realm rewired what these windows actually do
- **Buff frame**: 32 helpful slots and 16 harmful (`BuffFrame.xml`), not 16 of each, so the first debuff is `BuffButton32`. `BuffButton16` is a helpful slot here and stays down with one buff up. - **Pet frame**: its `PetFrameDebuffN` row really is debuffs now — `RefreshBuffs(this, 0, "pet")` (`PetFrame.lua:38`, `:57`) picks `UnitDebuff`, where stock passed `1` and showed the pet's buffs under those names. The fixture seeds harmful auras. - **Pet paper doll**: the diet icon is the realm's own `PetStable-DietIcon` at 32x32, and it was moved out of the `<PlayerModel>` into a `frameLevel="5"` frame of its own (`PetPaperDollFrame.xml:245-258`), so it draws over the scene by level rather than by the model's ARTWORK callback draining last — the ordering this test used to pin. - **Merchant**: both mouse buttons share one shift arm now (`MerchantFrame.lua:304-338` and `:345-375` are the same body), and it opens the stack splitter for a bundle row too, stepping by the bundle size. The fork inside is only where `maxStack` comes from: `GetItemInfo` off the link for a bundle (so the row needs its template cached and a link to parse the id out of), `GetMerchantItemMaxStack` for a single. - **Trainer**: after a purchase the realm re-selects `ClassTrainerFrame.selectedService` (`Blizzard_TrainerUI.lua:75-91`) instead of leaving the pane blank, so the pane and the highlight follow the row that took the learned one's seat, and the engine's selection index comes back off the hidden tail. - **Game menu**: a `"full"` frame is exempt from both open gates (`UIParent.lua:927`, `:951` each spell out `frameArea ~= "full"`) and its arm runs `CloseAllWindows()` before taking the slot (`:962-966`), so asking for the map over the game menu closes the menu and opens the map. - A third prereq row, and a latent raise named: `WorldMapFrame.xml` needs `Overrides.lua`'s `CONTINENTS_LENGTH = 2` (toc row 13 against 85), because the continent and zone dropdown text helpers compare against it unguarded (`WorldMapFrame.lua:440`, `:457`).

Nine reds where the realm changed the data under a transcribed assertion
None of these were defects; each is a value, a row index or a semantic the realm moved and the test still asserted stock 1.12's: - `RAID_CLASS_COLORS.SHAMAN` is the later blue `|cff0070de` (`Fonts.xml:50`), not a copy of PALADIN's pink — 1.12 reused the row and the realm did not. - `ChatTypeInfo` has 106 keys, the extra being the realm's `HARDCORE`, and ten of them are sticky rather than five: it marks `CHANNEL`, `OFFICER`, `RAID_WARNING` and `WHISPER` too. Sticky is what the edit box keeps between sends, so that list is typing behaviour a player feels. - `ChatMenu`'s Macro row is eleventh: `HARDCORE_MESSAGE` went in fourth (`ChatFrame.lua:2371`). - A friend row is coloured three ways (`FriendsFrame.lua:186-197`) — name and class from `RAID_CLASS_COLORS[TW_CLASS_TOKEN[class]]`, level from `GetDifficultyColor`. `TW_CLASS_TOKEN` lives in the realm's `Globals.lua`, so that row joins `SOCIAL_UI`; without it the window draws uncoloured, which is a different window than the client paints. - A guild row goes offline by **alpha 0.55** on all four columns (`FriendsFrame.lua:526`), keeping its class and difficulty inks, where 1.12 wrote a flat grey. - The minimap clock plate is four lines — `Clock`, then a Zone/Server/Local time triple (`GameTime.lua:50-56`) — not one bare time. - `ERR_TAXINOPATHS` uses a straight ASCII apostrophe; the test looked for U+2019 and so never matched a line that was being drawn correctly all along. - `DropDownList1/2`'s OnHide **wipes** `OPEN_DROPDOWNMENUS[n]` instead of dropping it (`UIDropDownMenu.xml:17`, `:28`), so the row is emptied in place and an addon's reference to it stays live. Asserted both halves. - `CONFIRM_PET_UNLEARN` gained an `OnUpdate` that hides it unless `CheckPetUntrainerDist()` answers (`StaticPopup.lua:1290-1294`), so the dialog needs that verb seated before the first tick. - The spellbook shows its Spellbook tab with no pet at all (the realm sets tab 1 up on both arms of `hasPetSpells`), and it **fixed** both pet-paging quirks this test had pinned as "DO NOT FIX": `SpellBook_GetSpellID`'s pet arm carries the page term and Next writes the pet book's own page. Also corrected a test of mine from the last batch: `IsEnabled()` answers the number 0, which is truthy in Lua, so it is compared and not tested — as the stock UI itself does.

Six more menu reds: the realm's UnitPopup tables are not 1.12's
Every one asserted stock 1.12's row set. The realm's `UnitPopup.lua:75-80` adds `REPORT` and `IGNORE` to PLAYER/PARTY/FRIEND, its own `XP` row to SELF, and `MOVE`/`MOVE_RESET` (its movable unit frames) to SELF, PARTY and PLAYER — and it **dropped the `RESET_INSTANCES` gate**: nothing in its 51 interface Lua rows so much as names `CanShowResetInstances` (scanned, file by file), so that row is always there, solo included. Stock left Cancel alone in a solo SELF menu, which is why the menu used not to open at all. The row lists are now asserted whole and in order rather than by count and spot index, which is what made these read as "7 != 5" instead of naming the two rows that arrived. The raid-marks row is found by label, since its seat has moved twice now. Also `status_bar_text_paints_the_player_numerals_but_not_the_targets`, which blamed the `TextStatusBar` template for a leave that never hides the plate. The realm overrides that bar's own `<OnEnter>`/`<OnLeave>` in `TargetFrame.xml:280-298`: the enter shows its two HP strings and then borrows the parent's plate by hand, because a child that takes the mouse means `TargetFrame` never gets an enter of its own — and the leave hides only those two strings. The plate standing after the cursor leaves is the realm's asymmetry, not ours. Measured by wrapping the handler and watching `GameTooltip:IsShown()` on both sides of it.

The realm ships its own ArenaFrame, so our stand-in only shadowed it
`CharacterFrameAdapters.xml` existed on one premise: "There is no `ArenaFrame.lua` or `.xml`
anywhere in the player's chain". That is no longer true — the realm's FrameXML carries
`Turtle_ArenaUI\Turtle_ArenaFrame.xml` (toc rows 106-110, which `benilla.toc` already loads at
270-274), and it defines `ArenaFrame` with `enableMouse="true"` and `id="5"`, sharing the PvP tab
rather than inventing a sixth. Our empty stub loaded 100 rows earlier and was overwritten, and
wherever it loaded last it replaced the realm's real arena window with a frame that has no
content. `frame_flag_gate` had both halves of that pinned as divergences (mouse false, id 6).
Twelve more red UI tests, each one a file the realm rewrote under an assertion written against
stock 1.12:
- `inspect_tests` (4): all four died in `InspectArenaFrame.xml`'s own OnLoad, which indexes
`_G[this:GetName().."Text"]` — a child of `ArenaTeamTemplate`, which lives in FrameXML and so is
always there live. The rotate buttons are `InspectModelFrame…`, not stock's `InspectModel…`.
- `character_tests` (4): `HonorLevelText` keeps its authored placeholder because the realm
commented that `SetText` out and hides the string instead (`PaperDollFrame.lua:126-127`);
`PaperDollFrame.xml` builds 77 frames, not 75, the two being the realm's player-titles dropdown
and its template's `$parentButton` (read off `FrameXML_Debug(1)`'s own trace, which also proved
each of the 77 is created exactly once — a grown file, not a double load);
`CHARACTERFRAME_SUBFRAMES` has six names; and one sound at load is the reference's own —
`UIDropDownMenu_Initialize` runs its init function on the spot and `UnitPopup_ShowMenu` ends in
`PlaySound("igMainMenuOpen")`.
- `loot_tests` (4): same load-time blip, drained and named; and the master-loot menu is rewritten
end to end — the party arm drops any candidate it cannot resolve to a party unit, the raid arm
groups by class with `hasArrow` submenus instead of by subgroup, and the event is now a toggle
whose memory `DropDownList1`'s own OnHide clears. It also needs `MAX_RAID_MEMBERS`, so the loot
window's prereq row names `RaidFrame.lua`.
- `dressup_tests` (2): `CharacterFrame_OnShow` gsubs `UnitPVPName("player")` unguarded, so the
fixture's player needs the name a real one always has.
The one accepted flag difference is now written down with its reason: our options window keeps
1.12's `toplevel` where the realm's rewrite of `OptionsFrame.xml` took `movable` instead.

A chorded action button must run both halves, and now a test says so
grom's slam macro sits on SHIFT-1, which his bindings file resolves to MULTIACTIONBAR1BUTTON1, and pfUI points both `MultiActionButtonDown` and `MultiActionButtonUp` at the same `pfActionButton` (`modules/actionbar.lua` :1516-17), which calls `frame:Click()`. So the reference evaluates that macro twice per press — once on the press, once on the release — and he reported seeing it evaluate once. That second evaluation is a second roll at a 0.2 s no-clip window, so it is worth a test of its own. The test holds a modifier across both edges, as a hand holding shift does, and asserts the down half on the press and the up half on the release. It passes: the registry's `Kind::EdgeUpDown` does run both legs through a chord. The harness says the same one layer up — `MultiActionButtonDown` and `MultiActionButtonUp` each reach `UseAction` exactly once with pfUI loaded — so whatever is costing him the second evaluation is not in either of these two layers, and this test is here to keep it that way while the search goes on.

A padded reward row is counted out by the reference, not painted — match it
grom opened the quest I had photographed on the reference client and counted two reward buttons where we paint three. Yesterday I told him the reference draws the same empty button, citing the DETAILS publisher. That reading was of the wrong layer: `0x500ef0` really does copy `count` entries in with no test on the item id (`500f41`-`500f58`) and zero-fill the rest — but the drop happens one layer up, in the count. `GetNumQuestChoices` (`0x501f00`) is a wrapper over `0x5016c0`, which walks the six 36-byte records at `0xbdf020`, tests the record's item-id dword and `je`s out of the loop on the first zero. It is a take-while, not a filter: a zero row hides every row behind it too, and `GetNumQuestRewards` (`0x501ec0` → `0x5016a0`) is the same loop on the reward triple's own first dword. The record layout is pinned off `0x501700`, the shared row reader, which string-compares the Lua type argument against 'reward' / 'choice' / 'required' and reads `+0x00/+0x04/+0x08`, `+0x0c/+0x10/+0x14` and `+0x18/+0x1c/+0x20` respectively; the first dword of each triple is the item id — it is what gets pushed into the item-cache query at `0x55ba30` — and the third is the count. So the publisher's pad is `(id 0, display 0, count 1)`, which is exactly the `item 0 x1, displayId 0` the instrument printed on his session. `GetNumQuestItems` keeps `.len()`: its counter (`0x5016e0`, from `0x501f40`) tests `+0x1c`, the *display* id, not the item id at `+0x18` — the one counter of the three that reads the wrong dword of its own triple — and QuestItemView carries no display id to reproduce that from. The instrument stays, narrowed to the case that is genuinely ours: a wire row that names a real item and still resolves to neither a name nor an icon.

The effect cut must spare an addon's own PlaySoundFile — it silenced SoftSpoken outright
My last commit made the `MasterSoundEffects` 0→1 toggle stop every playing effect, as
the reference does. It stopped too much: grom's next session carries ten
`MasterSoundEffects re-enabled` lines and he heard **none** of the ten voice lines that
produced them.
The mechanism is not subtle once stated. Every 1.12 voice-over addon spends the toggle
*and then plays its own file* — SoftSpoken's `SoundQueue:PlaySound` is literally
if Version.IsLegacyVanilla then
self:MuteGameDialogue(channel, clip.cutsGameDialogue) -- SetCVar 0; SetCVar 1
end
local willPlay = SoundUtils:PlaySound(clip, channel) -- PlaySoundFile(clip.path)
so a cut that reaches file playback takes the very thing the toggle was spent to make
room for. `stopped_by_reenable` now excludes `kit == 0`, which is `play_file`'s own
marker for the `PlaySoundFile` path.
The two exclusions have different standing and the doc says so. Music and ambience are
**derived** — the reference's `flags & 0x4000008` class, muted rather than stopped
(`0x7a65a0`). `kit == 0` is **measured**: which flag class a streamed file falls in is
unreversed, so this is the player's own observation standing in for a fact I do not have.
What it costs is the other half of SoftSpoken's use of the toggle: `StopKeeping` spends it
to stop its own clip before replaying one, and that does nothing again, so the
overlapping-replay symptom may return. That is a worse-to-better trade, not a fix, and it
is written where it lives.
The stop now logs the kits it cut and how many file channels it spared, because a bare
count cannot separate "the bark died, as intended" from "we cut the line the addon was
about to speak" — which is exactly the distinction this commit got wrong.

Name a quest reward row that resolves to nothing, rather than painting an empty button
grom photographed "The Tower of Azora" (quest 41747) offering Scroll of Stamina, Scroll of Spirit, and a third button with no icon and no name — an empty bordered box. A reward row's two halves come from independent sources: the name from the item template (`Items::template`, which queries the server on a cache miss) and the icon from `ItemDisplayInfo.dbc` through the wire's own `display_id`. A merely late template still paints an icon, and the feed rebuilds its snapshot every frame the panel is open, so a template arriving a second later would repaint. **Neither half answering** means the triple itself carries nothing this client can resolve. Ruled out from here, so the next person does not re-run them: the decode is a count-prefixed run of triples (vmangos' own layout), so a mis-stride would have broken rows 1 and 2 as well; `ItemDisplayCatalog` is a `HashMap<u32, _>` keyed by row id, so the realm's custom 68xxx display range is not an indexing trap (its `ItemDisplayInfo.dbc` has 45,254 rows and a max id of 69,176, and 68793/68797 are both present); and the two scrolls that *did* paint carry vanilla display ids (1093, 2616) while the plausible third choices carry custom ones, which is suggestive but not evidence. This lands as an instrument rather than a fix because **the reference does not filter these either**. Its DETAILS publisher `0x500ef0` zeroes the six choice slots at `0xbdf028`, copies exactly `count` entries in with no test on the item id (`500f41`-`500f58`), then zero-fills the rest — so a server padding its reward list makes the reference draw the same empty button. A padded wire and a template we failed to fetch look identical from the painted frame and want opposite fixes, so guessing between them is how this becomes a fourth wrong verdict. `warn_unresolved_reward_once` prints the item id, count and displayId once per distinct pair (the snapshot rebuilds per frame, so unguarded it would print at frame rate) and says which of the two it is: an `item_id` of 0 is a padded wire and not ours, a real id is.

MasterSoundEffects 0→1 is how a 1.12 addon stops a sound — make it stop sounds
grom: SoftSpoken "played a voice line over and over", and its **Silence NPC Voices**
option did nothing although it was switched on. Both are one deviation, and it is ours.
There is no Dialog channel to mute on 1.12, and SoftSpoken's own shim says so:
function SoundUtils:MuteChannel(channel, muted, fadeOut)
-- Intentionally unsupported on this client.
end
function SoundUtils:StopSound(clip, fadeMs)
SetCVar("MasterSoundEffects", 0)
SetCVar("MasterSoundEffects", 1)
end
That toggle is its whole repertoire, and it is not a hack the addon invented — the
reference makes it work on the **enabling** edge:
0x457500 the CVar callback: cl = !!value, tail-calls…
0x7a6570 …the flag store, edge-triggered (7a657f: je on an unchanged flag)
0x7a67a0 walks the live instance list; per node:
flags & 0x2 → skipped (the cinematic bypass)
flags & 0x4000008 → muted, not stopped (0x7a65a0)
otherwise, and ONLY when enabling (7a67eb: test cl,cl / je):
flags & 0x4 → 0x7a5950 stop
else → 0x7a4200 stop, then unlink (0x7604f0)
`0x7a5950` is unmistakable: it takes the node's stream handle (+0x34) and channel id
(+0x30) and calls the FMOD stop thunks. The *disabling* edge stops nothing at all —
sounds run on, gated silent at the pump, which is exactly what `category_amp` already
did. So we had half the CVar, and it was the half that does not matter. The comment on
`SoundConfig::enabled` claimed the two "sound the same"; they do for a player moving a
slider, and do not for an addon.
Both symptoms follow. `MuteGameDialogue` is gated on `AutoToggleDialog`, whose default is
`(Version.IsLegacyVanilla or …)` — true here, which is why his saved profile has no
`Audio` block and the option was on anyway — and on this client its body is nothing but
the toggle. The gate passed, the toggle ran, the NPC greeting played straight over the
line being read. The repeat is the same toggle spent on SoftSpoken's own clip:
`PlaySound` cuts *before* it plays ("On Vanilla, interrupt NPC audio BEFORE playback"),
and `StopKeeping` is documented as "silence the head but keep its place: it replays from
the start when Advance next reaches it, since the client has no seek". With the cut inert
the head never stopped, so the replay layered a second copy on a first still going.
`kit::cut_effects_on_reenable` now stops every `SoundCategory::Sfx` channel when the edge
is spent. Music and ambience are spared (the reference's mute-not-stop class) and
cinematic audio never enters `SoundOutput::channels` at all (the `flags & 0x2` bypass).
Two details are load-bearing, both pinned:
- **The edge is armed by the write, never sampled from the value.** The addon writes 0
and 1 inside one Lua call, so a system reading `SoundConfig::enabled` once a frame sees
`true` on both sides and no edge at all. `EffectCutArmed` is set in the CVar observer,
the one place that sees every write. It is its own resource rather than a `SoundConfig`
field because spending it needs `ResMut`, which as a field measured **43** new
ambiguous pairs against every `Res<SoundConfig>` reader in the frame.
- **The cut is spent between the Lua pass and the sound drain.** The reference stops
synchronously inside `SetCVar`, which is before the `PlaySoundFile` the addon calls
next. Applied after the drain it would stop the new clip instead of the old one — the
symptom inverted, not fixed.
The ceiling rises by 1, for the pair against the collider finisher: the same exclusive
`&mut World` shape `log_new_corpses` and `textinput::open_early` already record.

GetCastTime applies spell-mod op 0xa itself — so a talented Slam is 2.0 s, not 2.5
grom's probe closed the slam hunt in one line:
mx=2.7 st=1.0255 u=2.7 c=2.5 w=7.4074
Both of my remaining candidates were wrong. The swing speed arrived correctly
(2.7, not the 2000 ms stand-in the last commit instrumented) and the swing timer
was running, so neither the feed nor the combat events were at fault. That leaves
one term: `c`, the cast time, and `w = (2.70 - 2.50) / 2.70` falls straight out
of it.
`SuperCleveRoidMacros` does not ask a verb for that number. `GetSlamCastTime()`
walks the spellbook for Slam, builds a nil-parent `GameTooltipTemplate` scanning
tooltip, calls `SetSpell`, and reads the `"%d+%.?%d* sec cast"` line — so the
whole conditional rests on one line of our spellbook tooltip.
`Spell_C::GetCastTime` (`0x6e3340`) applies `SPELLMOD_CASTING_TIME` **inside
itself**, after the row's minimum clamp:
6e33b0: cmp %esi,%eax ; row minimum (2500 for Slam)
6e33b4: mov %esi,-0x4(%ebp) ; ...clamped to it
6e33b7: push $0xa ; op 10 = SPELLMOD_CASTING_TIME
6e33be: call 0x6e6af0 ; value = (value + flat) * pct / 100
and the tooltip's cast line is a call to it, not a DBC read (`52eb48`/`52eb4b`/
`52eb4d: call 0x6e3340`). We read `SpellCastTimes.dbc` directly, so a
talent-shortened cast showed its base length — a deviation `ui_action/mod.rs` and
`cast_times.rs` both *documented* without anyone pricing it.
The realm's own data prices it. Slam (1464/8820/11604/11605) is `CastingTimeIndex`
20, row `{base 2500, perLevel 0, minimum 2500}`. Improved Slam is two ranks —
12862 and 12330, aura 107 / misc 10 / `basePoints` -251 and -501 with `dieSides`
1, a flat -250 or -500 ms on op 10 against `SpellFamilyFlags` bit 21, family 4
(warrior, `ChrClasses.dbc` field 15; the five-rank version is `zzOLD`). So a 2/2
warrior's Slam is 2.0 s, and on his 2.70 s main hand:
2.5 s (ours) 0.20 s window 7.4% of the swing
2.0 s (his client) 0.70 s window 25.9% of the swing
It is a size, not a sign. 0.20 s is narrower than human reaction time, so a
player pressing by hand overshoots it every press; 0.70 s he lands in every
swing. "477 Heroic Strikes, zero Slams" and "works just fine on the normal
client" are the same observation.
Note the order: the minimum clamp is 2500 and it runs *before* the modifier.
Applying op 0xa first would pin Slam at 2.5 s for ever and look identical to the
bug it was meant to fix.
`Spells::cast_time_ms` is now `GetCastTime` — row resolve, minimum clamp, op 0xa
— with `cast_time_signed_ms` for the reference's `allowNegative` form the
tooltip's "Instant cast" ladder needs (`0x52ebce`), and `cast_time_row_ms` kept
for the one question that wants the row alone: whether a spell has a cast time
*authored* at all, which is `opens_cast_bar`'s gate. The tooltip's cast line and
the four live readers pass the modifier tables through — including both
`PendingCast` arms, so nampower's local lockout on a talented cast was 500 ms too
long as well. The tooltip feed re-pushes on a level change now that the cast line
is level-scaled.
Still deviating, written where it lives: the final `UNIT_MOD_CAST_SPEED`
multiplier (`6e342c`, taken only when `Attributes & 0x30` is clear) is not
applied, because no site streams unit field 139. It is 1.0 without a casting-speed
aura, so it moves nothing a physical ability does.
Tests: `a_talent_shortened_cast_line_shows_its_talented_length` grades Slam on the
real DBCs untalented, at 2/2, and against a foreign class family (the gate that
stops a mage's table shortening a warrior's Slam). The harness test now drives
grom's own addon chain through both widths — `WINDOW_PCT` 7.4074074074074 and
`WINDOW_PCT_TALENTED` 25.925925925926 — with the addon's own
`RefreshSlamCastTime` between them, because its scan is cached for 2 s and a test
that re-pushed without it would measure the stale value and pass.
Both earlier answers are written down in `WINDOW_PCT`'s doc and in
docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md: I called this "not ours" twice, from two green tests, and
each was green because it asserted a number I had supplied.

A substituted swing speed is invisible to everything downstream — say it once
grom reports the `[noslamclip]` macro still never picks Slam, and that the same
macro works on the normal client. That rules out my last answer: if the window
were the 7.4% the realm's numbers give (2.70 s weapon, 2.5 s Slam), he would
land Slam on about one press in fourteen. His log has **0 in 477**. A narrow
window is not what that is; a conditional pinned false is.
`GetSlamWindowPercent()` returns a hard `0` whenever `st_timerMax <= slamCastTime`,
and `st_timerMax` can only ever be `UnitAttackSpeed("player")`. That value is
either the streamed `UNIT_FIELD_BASEATTACKTIME` or exactly `VANILLA_SWING_MS`,
because `base_swing` substitutes 2000 for absent-or-zero. 2.0 < 2.5, so a
substituted swing makes `[noslamclip]` false for every press of the session,
silently — and his own swing interval, measured off consecutive `You hit` lines
in `WoWCombatLog.txt`, is 2.71 s.
So the question is whether that field reaches us, and **nothing downstream can
answer it**: `UnitAttackSpeed` returns a number either way, `char_stats`' stand-in
warning fires only when no sheet at all was pushed, and 2.00 s is a real weapon
speed, so a substituted sheet and a genuine 2.00 s weapon are indistinguishable
from Lua, from the log, and from every test — because every test seats a sheet
before it asks. That is the same blind spot that let me invent a cast time and
call the chain healthy.
`warn_once_if_main_swing_substituted` says it at the one place that still knows:
the feed, holding the store, before `base_swing` erases the difference. Once per
process, naming the field and pointing at the combat log as the cross-check.
This is an instrument, not a fix. It makes the next session's log answer the
question instead of another round of reasoning from code that reads correctly
under both hypotheses.

The slam macro was never ours, and a fixture I invented is why I said otherwise
grom reports `/cast [noslamclip] Slam; [slamclip] Heroic Strike` never picking
Slam. Yesterday I drove the whole chain in the harness, measured a 44% no-clip
window and called it healthy. The 44% came from a cast time I supplied:
s.set_spell_tooltip(1464, … cast_time: Some("1.5 sec cast") …)
**OctoWoW's Slam is a 2.5 s cast.** `Spell.dbc` ids 1464/8820/11604/11605 all
carry `CastingTimeIndex` 20 and `SpellCastTimes.dbc` row 20 is 2500 ms, where
vanilla's Slam is 1500. SuperCleveRoidMacros' own
`DEFAULT_SLAM_CAST = 2.5 -- Turtle WoW` agrees independently. Against his 2.70 s
weapon the window is `(2.70 - 2.50) / 2.70` = 7.4%, 0.2 s wide — not something a
hand can hit, which is the whole report.
The same DBC gives every Slam rank `spellLevel` 54, and he is level 14. The
field alignment is checked against spells whose levels are known (Heroic Strike
rank 1/2/3 = 1/8/16, Charge 4, Shield Bash 12, Overpower 12, Thunder Clap 6),
so that reading is safe to act on: 477 Heroic Strikes in his combat log and zero
Slams, in any session since 10/12.
The fixtures now carry the realm's numbers and `WINDOW_PCT` carries where they
come from, including this mistake — a number I supply cannot test anything, and
a green test then argues against the player's own report.

What the second player actually saw: four panel entries and no nameplates
A second player's four `/errors` entries, all from one session, none of them a
fault in the two addons he was reporting:
1. `FloatingChatFrame.xml: SetScript("OnInputLanguageChanged") unsupported`.
Ours. The slot is real 1.12 and the *realm's own* FrameXML sets it on
`ChatFrameEditBox`, so every player met a red error on every login for a
line none of them wrote. `SCRIPT_KINDS` now accepts it and never fires it,
which is also what the reference does — a client with no IME never fires it
either. The rule the old test stated is unchanged and restated: a 1.12 slot
benilla neither fires nor finds in a shipped file still raises.
2. `bindings.xml: root element is <Bindings>, not <Ui>; tolerated`. Every
`Bindings.xml` in the corpus has that root and `bindings_xml` reads it
correctly. No longer said.
3. `bindings.xml: Unknown frame type: Binding`, counted 69. Faithful — the
reference logs the same line (`0x871124`) for every row while `0x51f400`
registers them separately — and ours registers them too:
AlternativeClassicActionBars' 69 bindings all answer `GetBinding`. Now a
trace, so the terminal keeps it and the panel does not.
4. `SetOwner: unknown anchor 'BOTTOMRIGHT' on owner 'WorldFrame'`, counted 292.
The hunt for that caller ended a while ago: it is `Shop_ProcessEntries` in
the realm's own `Turtle_ShopUI`, off the player's patch chain, and the
reference accepts an unknown anchorType silently (mode 0, ANCHOR_LEFT), as
we do. The diagnostic has done its job; it is now host-log-once
(`Model::warn_host_only_once`) and not retained.
The panel is where someone looks to find what is broken in *their* interface.
A line that is faithful, or names a file they cannot reach, crowds out the ones
that are theirs.
----
A second player sent a video: Options → Nameplates with all six boxes ticked,
the V binding set, and no plates at all — while the overhead *names* drew fine.
`VPlateMode::default().range_sq` was `0.0`, and the gate is
`distance_squared > range_sq`. Zero is not "no cull"; it is "cull everything, at
any distance". `NameplateRange` is a registered CVar with default `"80"`, and a
registered default is not written to `config.toml`, so no `CvarChanged` ever
fired and the field never left its derived value.
This is the trap the paragraph three fields above already documents, and which
`occlusion` and `spread` were fixed by writing their registered defaults into
`Default`; `range_sq` was left behind. It stayed hidden because
`NameConfig::default()` — the overhead names — already carried `80.0 * 80.0`, so
names drew and only plates were missing, which reads as a nameplate-addon
problem rather than an engine one. It could not be reproduced here either:
grom's own `config.toml` carries `NP_NameplateDistance = "62"`, which seeds the
same field through the other observer arm.
`the_plate_range_default_agrees_with_its_registered_cvar` now pins the default
to `registered_pairs()`'s row and pins the plate and the name culls to each
other, since a disagreement between those two is what made this read as
somebody else's bug.
It also answers the other half of his report. The gate `continue`s before the
plate is seated at all, so with `range_sq` at 0 no plate frame ever exists —
and UnitPlates works by adopting the plate frames under WorldFrame. One bug,
both symptoms: "nameplates will not turn on" and "UnitPlates does nothing" are
the same line.
And a packaging answer that comes before both, for UnitPlates specifically:
GitHub's "Download ZIP" unpacks `Redbu11dev/UnitPlates` as `UnitPlates-main`
with `UnitPlates.toc` inside it. The client looks for `<Folder>/<Folder>.toc`,
so the addon never loads — here or on the real client. The harness says it in
as many words: "no manifest under other-addons/UnitPlates-main — is that an
addon folder?". It has to be renamed `UnitPlates`.

The realm's client is not stock 1.12, and its Lua grammar is not 1.12's either
SoftSpoken (z1xel/SoftSpoken, a 1.12 narration port) failed to load: nine files across six addons would not compile, and the three that did then raised at runtime indexing namespaces the failed chunks never built. Every one of the nine is valid Lua 5.1 and invalid Lua 5.0 — `#`, `%`, `0x3040`, `local NAME = ...`. `third_party/lua-src` is a fork that deliberately 5.0-ifies the grammar: three arms deleted from `lparser.c` (`simpleexp`'s `TK_DOTS`, `getunopr`'s `'#'`, `getbinopr`'s `'%'`) and `read_numeral` replaced with 5.0's, which has no hex. Every deletion is byte-read out of `WoW.exe`'s own parser and every one is right about stock 1.12. No OctoWoW client runs stock 1.12. ClassicAPI.dll is in the realm's bundle and rewrites every chunk at the `luaL_loadbuffer` chokepoint — file scripts, `loadstring` and XML `OnLoad` alike — adding exactly five constructs: `#`, `%`, `...` as an expression, `0x` hex and `[=[ ]=]`. Confirmed three ways: the repo's own highlights line, PR #28, and the DLL's string pool, which twice says "Our 5.1 syntax backport makes the probe pass". `docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md`'s row for this said "free — benilla's VM is mlua/Lua 5.1 already". That was the error. So the target grammar is the union, and the fork now carries it: * the three parser arms restored, as stock 5.1 writes them; * `read_numeral` grown an explicit `0x` arm. It could not take 5.1's version back wholesale: 5.1 reached hex through a trailing `isalnum` slurp, and that slurp has to stay gone or `1then` breaks again (`AdvancedTradeSkillWindow2.lua:3878`, which the client compiles). The prefix arm gives both; * addon file chunks now called with `(addonName, addonPrivateTable)` (`UiScript::run_addon_chunk`, four call sites). Taking `...` without passing the arguments only moves the failure one line later, which is what ClassicAPI's own notes record; * `string.reverse` added to the stdlib backport — SoftSpoken calls it. 1.12's own dialect is untouched. `LUA_COMPAT_VARARG` withholds the `arg` table only from a function that *uses* `...` as a value, so the shipped FrameXML's `function f(...) … arg.n … end` still gets `arg`: the two dialects coexist one function at a time, which is what the client-plus-ClassicAPI does. The cost is the era probe. 170 corpus `loadstring` sites ask `loadstring("return function(...) return ... end")` and 92 library files in 24 folders branch on the answer; they now take the 5.1 branch, as they do on the real client. Two branch wrongly there and ClassicAPI ships a compensation for each — Compost-2.0 rev 17406+'s no-argument `Erase` stub (bundled by BigWigs and QuickHeal; it silently stops clearing in place) and Cartographer_Notes' `WorldMapDeathRelease`. Both are now carried in `lua51_probe_fallout.rs`, probed by behaviour rather than by revision and re-checked on every `ADDON_LOADED`, because AceLibrary can upgrade a library mid-session. Measured on grom's own AddOns folder: SoftSpoken, SoftSpoken_Stories, SoftSpoken_Places, SoftSpoken_Writings, SpokenZonesAudio, SpokenBooksAudio, SpokenQuestsAudio{Horde,Alliance,Gossip,Shared}, SSS_VOFallback and AI_VoiceOverData_Turtle all load with zero load errors and zero session errors, 98 `Spoken*` globals, `/softspoken` registered, and PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD, QUEST_DETAIL, GOSSIP_SHOW and ITEM_TEXT_BEGIN reaching 108/108, 1/1, 6/6 and 2/2 handlers clean.

A tooltip raise cost 6.6 ms because every frame it minted re-derived the layout graph
`WOW_UI_VERBS=1` over the hover bench answered it in one line: the rebuilt frame's cost was **`frame:GetLeft`, 3 calls at 2188 us each — 6.56 of the 6.6 ms** — inside `UIParent:OnUpdate`. `GetLeft` forces a resolve, and each of those resolves was a whole-graph derivation of ~19,000 frames and ~44,000 regions, because `Model::frame_id` gave up naming the graph on every mint. OctoPawn mints two frames on every `GameTooltip` OnShow purely to own a one-shot `OnUpdate` — the 1.12 way to write `C_Timer.After` — so a raise dirtied the graph twice and the three `GetLeft`s each paid for it. A just-minted frame is now **appended to the cached graph as a leaf** (`LayoutScope::append_frame_leaf`). Sound because the id was minted this instant, so no anchor anywhere can name it: nothing cached reads the new node and no cached edge moves. What it reads is its own anchors' targets, which the append is handed — a mint is not always a creation, since `frame_id` mints on the first *fetch* too, and a frame built in Rust (a nameplate, a chat bubble) is first fetched when Lua asks for its wrapper with its anchors long written. `last` stays `NO_NODE` so the incremental seed sees the hash move; `commit_incremental` counts the slot, which keeps the next full pass's `matched != last_count` node-death test honest. Refused when the frame already carries regions: a region is a graph node without needing a minted id — the derivation mints region ids inside its own walk — so only a derivation can add those rows. **Measured, same bench, same interface: the rebuild costs -0.08 ms/frame under forty churning plates and +0.14 ms with none up, from 6.63 and 6.78.** The rebuilt windows now report no derivation sites at all. Two things about how this was found, both in the bench's doc now: - Its own earlier conclusion was that the cost was "the plate's line walk and the hooks hanging off it, flat, and not the graph it dirties", because the crowded and the empty shape cost the same. They cost the same because **both** were paying the full derivation. A fair experiment that was blind to its own answer, and one env var would have named it. - `WOW_LAYOUT_VERIFY` over the real interface is red on this change — and it is the documented pre-existing 48-region shortfall, reproduced identically with the whole change stashed: `frames 13544 -> 13544, regions 29481 -> 29529` either way. All 2069 benilla-ui tests pass, and they run that verifier forced on after every resolve. 189 workspace failures, unchanged, no regressions.

The slam macro, end to end through the path the game takes
He re-tested and it still never casts Slam, so I drove the whole thing rather
than the conditional: `UseAction` on a macro slot → `run_macro` fires
`EXECUTE_CHAT_LINE` per line (`0x4f14e0`) → the stock ChatFrame sends it through
its edit box (`ChatFrame.lua:1343`) → `ChatEdit_ParseText` finds
`SlashCmdList["CAST"]` → CleveRoids' hook → `GetParsedMsg` → `DoWithConditionals`
→ `Keywords.noslamclip` → `ValidateNoSlamClip` → `CastSpellByName`. On his own
interface, with his own 2.70 s weapon and Battle Stance, the line casts **Slam**
at the top of a swing and **Heroic Strike** 1.6 s in — which is the assertion the
old test never made, and the reason "the conditional answers true" meant nothing.
Three things came out of the drive.
**The load-time latch is worse than I wrote this morning, and it is what he is
seeing.** `GetSlamWindowPercent` reads SP_SwingTimer's `st_timerMax` cache, not
`UnitAttackSpeed`, so the `ADDON_LOADED` latch decides the window for the whole
first fight: the stand-in gives (2.0 - 1.5)/2.0 = **25%** against his weapon's
44%, while `st_timer` is still 0 so the swing reads **100% elapsed** — and
`[noslamclip]` is false with nothing said about it. Before the stand-in it was
false *and* printed "requires SP_SwingTimer" once; the fix traded a visible
failure for a silent one. Both states are pinned in the test now.
So the sheet is **seeded before the addon walk**, beside the roster record and
unit snapshot that are already seeded there for the same reason
(`ui_char::seed_combat_stats`). A `/reload` — and anyone mid-fight — now latches
the real weapon. A fresh login still has no self store (the create block has not
arrived, which is why the record comes off the roster), so the stand-in stands
there and heals on the first swing.
**And the stand-in now says so in the log.** One line per VM per token, through
the channel `/errors` lists: a combat-stats verb answering for "player" before
anything pushed that unit's sheet. One such read is expected at load; what the
line is for is the case where it never stops, which no test of the verb can see
because every one of them seats the sheet first. `UnitAttackSpeed` reaching Lua
with the store's own `UNIT_FIELD_BASEATTACKTIME` is now asserted through the real
`feed_char`, which is the test that was missing underneath all of this.
The dual-wield road is pinned too, because it is the one shape that can strand
the main-hand timer: `CheckDamageSource` returns "MAIN" on line one for a
two-hander and never runs its arithmetic, but dual-wielding it weighs the hit
against `UnitDamage`'s ranges scaled by the target's armour — and
`UnitArmor("target")` is 0 on any 1.12 client, ours included, because another
unit's resistances are not public. Every hit then reads UNKNOWN and falls to
`ClosestSwing == true or HeroicStrikeQueued()`, whose first half compares against
a *function* and whose second is true whenever this very macro has queued a
Heroic Strike — and `ResetTimer(true)` refills the **off-hand** timer while
`st_timer` runs to 0, where the elapsed read is 100 for good. That loop is the
addon's own and reproduces on any client; what we must not do is enter it when
the player is two-handed, which is `has_offhand` alone, and his combat log says
two-handed: 2.70, 2.71, 2.72, 2.68 between consecutive hits, with no 0.2 s
off-hand pairing anywhere.
189 failures, unchanged, no regressions.

The group-loot popups were never under test: a stand-in had their name
All five group-loot reds were one cause, and it was in the harness rather than
the client. `test_ui`'s `UIParent_ManageFramePositions` wrapper seated a bare
stand-in for every non-`isVar` row of `UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS`, and
`GroupLootFrame1` is a row (`UIParent.lua:1909`) declared in `LootFrame.xml`,
which loads later. A frame's publish to `_G` is non-overwriting (`0x701bd0`), so
the stand-in kept the name and the real popups — built, parented, scripted —
were unreachable: no `<OnShow>`, so no name, no icon, no bind-on-pickup
decoration, and no `OnLoad`, so `CANCEL_LOOT_ROLL` reached no registered frame.
Every assertion was reading an empty frame that happened to answer `IsVisible`.
This is the third time that seat has cost tests — `ChatFrame1`/`ChatFrame2` 137,
the pet bar 9 — so the chat windows' exemption is now the rule: a managed row's
own key is never seated. The pass reads every row through
`frame = _G[index]; if ( frame )` (`UIParent.lua:1962`), so an absent one is
skipped and costs nothing; what *is* reached unguarded is the custom-positioning
tail, and every name that tail touches is already in the explicit list above,
where it can be read. Anchor targets still seat — those are a raise at l.1668.
`FramerateLabel` and `TutorialFrameParent` were the same shape waiting to
happen. No regressions anywhere in the workspace from dropping them.
With the real popups under test, three assertions turned out to be written
against stock 1.12 rather than the file on the chain. This realm's
`GroupLootFrame_OnShow` opens:
local texture, name, count, quality, bindOnPickUp = GetLootRollItemInfo(this.rollID);
if ( not name ) then this:Hide(); return; end
where stock painted straight through a nil name. So an unresolved roll shows
nothing at all and frees the slot it claimed, rather than opening blank — and
the quality-miss-tail protection (`0x4c31a3`'s `nil, nil, 1.0, 1.0, nil`) is
never reached through that paint, so it is now asserted at the verb, where the
stock file and any addon still index `ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS` with it unguarded.
`ui_loot_roll`'s own doc says what that costs it: its `TEMPLATE_HOLD_MAX_MS`
fallback opens a frame unresolved "because a frame that never opens cannot even
be passed on", and this file closes it again on the same frame. Kept and written
down rather than worked around — the hold is what actually saves the roll, and
the alternative is never announcing it.
189 failures from 195.

The hardcoded-sentence gate failed on its own corpus read, not on a violation
`reference_strings` demanded a sentence from each of the four string sources, because the two `Localize()` files wrap their assignments in a function and that shape has to be proven to parse. This realm's `GlueXML\GlueLocalization.lua` has its whole `Localize()` body commented out and tweaks frames instead, so the assertion fired on a chain where nothing is wrong — and took the policy half of the test, the part that actually reads every Rust source for a sentence the reference ships, down with it. Asserted over the pair now: a base table can never be empty, and at least one `Localize()` file must yield, which `FrameXML\Localization.lua`'s enGB overrides do. The policy half runs again and passes, so nothing is hardcoded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SgstFWtn1RxEJ5kVrpgYwn |

Two real macro-window bugs, and three expectations the realm had moved on from
The macro window's four reds were four separate things, two of them bugs a player meets. **Every macro made through the icon chooser had a blank icon.** This realm rewrote `Blizzard_MacroUI` to keep bare upper-cased icon names in its own `MACRO_ICON_FILENAMES` — `UpdateMacroIconFilenames` strips `INTERFACE\ICONS\` off `GetMacroIconInfo` — and `MacroPopupOkayButton_OnClick` hands that name straight to `CreateMacro`. `icon_path` took any string as a finished path, so `GetMacroInfo` answered `ABILITY_AMBUSH` and `MacroFrame_Update`'s `macroIcon:SetTexture(texture)` resolved nothing. The engine composes the prefix itself: `Interface\Icons\` is at `0x44ca64`, inside `UIMacros.cpp`'s own string block between the `DeleteMacro`/`GetMacroInfo`/`GetNumMacros`/`CreateMacro` registration names and `MACRONODE`, which is what says the macro code owns it. A number is still a chooser index, and a string that already carries a separator is still a path. **Selecting a macro with no icon raised and took the whole details pane down.** `Blizzard_MacroUI.lua:84-85` feeds `GetMacroInfo`'s texture to `SetTexture` and to `strupper` with no guard, so a nil answered there is `bad argument #1 to 'strupper' (string expected, got nil)` inside `MacroFrame_Update` — no editor, no body box, no character counter. The reference cannot be answering nil, or its own UI would raise the same way: a macro with no icon of its own now reads as the client's own `INV_Misc_QuestionMark` (`0x447fe4`, same UI block), which is also the name the realm's chooser puts in row 1. The other three were stale readings of a file the realm has rewritten, each checked against the chain copy rather than guessed: - the character counter is `MacroFrameCharLimitText:SetText(this:GetNumLetters() .. "/" .. this:GetMaxLetters())` in the realm's own XML — "21/510", with no `MACROFRAME_CHAR_LIMIT` and no "Characters Used" tail; - the chooser shows `GetNumMacroIcons() + 1` rows, because `UpdateMacroIconFilenames` inserts `INV_MISC_QUESTIONMARK` at index 1 ahead of anything the engine offers, so every list index is one past the engine's; - both tabs call `PanelTemplates_TabResize(0)` with no cap and read `text="GENERAL"`/`text="CHARACTER"`, where stock passed -15, capped tab 2 at 150 and formatted the player's name into it. That test was *about* the name, so it now checks the row is independent of it instead. 195 failures from 203, no regressions (`comm -13` over the sorted names).

The three multibar reds were one duplicate load, not a loader defect
`_G["MultiBarBottomLeftButton1NormalTexture"]` really was a different object from that button's `GetNormalTexture()`, with both answering that same `GetName()`, so every tint written through the global — the realm's own `ActionButton_ShowGrid`, and pfUI constantly — landed on a region nothing drew. I wrote that up as a state-texture publish naming the wrong region at two levels of template inheritance and left three tests red on it. It was neither the publish nor the depth. **These tests loaded `MultiActionBars.xml` twice**: once through `load_action_bar`, where toc order puts it, and again in each test's own list, left behind when the first was added — 15 tests. Two loads build two sets of MultiBar buttons, and the two `_G` publishes disagree about a collision: a frame's is non-overwriting (`0x701bd0`), so `MultiBarBottomLeftButton1` stayed the *first* set's button, while the loader's state-texture publish is a plain `globals().set`, so the region name became the *second* set's texture. Every write through the global reached the hidden second set. What rules the loader out is now its own test: `expand`'s merge concatenates children, and only the base of the real chain declares a `<NormalTexture>` — `ActionBarButtonTemplate` and `MultiBar1ButtonTemplate` declare only `<Scripts>`, read off the chain — so there is exactly one declaration at any depth, and a synthetic three-level chain answers `named == live` at every level, top-level or child of a named parent. The other two reds in that file were a misread of the reference, in the same place twice: `ShapeshiftBar_Update`'s last line is `UIParent_ManageFramePositions()`, and the pass hides all three shelf strips under `if ( MultiBarBottomLeft:IsShown() )`. So a form learned while the bottom-left bar is up shows the middle strip and takes it down again inside one call — it is never seen across the row, where both tests asserted it would be "until the next pass". 17/17 in that module now. The publish asymmetry is left alone and written down where it was found: no single load can reach it, the reference's region-name path is not disassembled, and matching frames on a guess is not a fix.

The plates step needs the install, because the WorldFrame does
`test-no-install` caught it: a plate is parented to the `WorldFrame`, which comes from FrameXML off the patch chain, so with `WOW_DATA=` there is nothing to parent to and nothing for the fixture's own scan to walk. Skipped without the install like its render and use-probe siblings — which is also the honest statement about that VM, since a plate addon can do nothing in it either.

Two addons another player asked for, and the Linux-only gap that killed one
AlternativeClassicActionBars and UnitPlates, both now in `other-addons/`
(untracked — third-party source, not ours to vendor). Measured with the survey
and the read-back probe on a root holding only those two, so neither borrows the
other's globals. Both already loaded clean; three things were missing, and the
first was costing an entire addon's keybinding surface.
**A binding table spelled `bindings.xml`.** `ui_script::addons` asks for
`Bindings.xml` by the reference's own fixed name — `0x51f400` reads the name,
not a `.toc` entry — and the open was case-sensitive, so on Linux ACAB's 69
`<Binding>` rows never registered. Silently: an absent binding table is the
normal case, so nothing raised and nothing warned. Hover-bind, edit-mode escape
and every bar page key were dead. The texture and font side of the same file
namespace has always resolved case-insensitively (`loose_addon_file`, which
walks the path a component at a time and enumerates a directory when the spelling
does not match); the Lua and XML side now shares one resolver with it, and both
crates' private `read_under` copies delegate to it. Measured after: 69 bindings
listed by `GetBinding`, `SetBinding("CTRL-9", "ACABBIND1")` round-trips, and the
addon's drawn-frame count went 42 -> 175, because its login sequence had been
stopping short of its own bars.
**`PixelUtil`.** Called unguarded on ACAB's bar-geometry path at four sites,
three of them the same question — one screen pixel in UI units, which is what
every pixel-perfect border in that addon is drawn from. Not in ClassicAPI's
published list, but ACAB disables itself without ClassicAPI, so on this server's
kit it is present by implication. A Lua chunk beside `math_ext`, whose `Round` it
uses. One deviation, written down where it lives: upstream reads
`region:GetEffectiveScale()`, which a 1.12 texture does not answer, so the scale
read falls back to the parent and then `UIParent` — the same number in every case
that matters.
**`UnitXP("nop", "nop")` answering the boolean.** The presence probe.
SuperCleveRoidMacros keeps only `pcall`'s `ok`, but ACAB's `HasUnitXPSP3` wants
`ok and result == true`, and the fall-through handed it the stock XP getter's
`0` — truthy, so it passed the loose reading and failed the strict one. ACAB
reported UnitXP_SP3 absent on a client that answers the whole family.
Left alone with the reason in `docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md`: `IsStackableAction`
(post-1.12, guarded, and stock 1.12's own ActionButton.lua shows a count off
`IsConsumableAction` alone), `CursorHasMacro` (post-1.12 and redundant — ACAB
tests `GetCursorInfo() == "macro"` first), and five third-party tables that are
missing because those addons are not installed.
The harness grew a `--plates [n]` step, because a nameplate addon is the one kind
it could not see working: the subject is a `WorldFrame` child `vplates.rs` mints
per frame, so with none seated the addon's scan finds nothing, does nothing, and
reports a clean load over an empty screen. It seats n live plates and counts how
many an addon hung a frame on, which doubles as the contract check on the plate's
own shape — a plate that stopped being a `Button`, or stopped putting its border
texture first, would read as an addon adopting nothing. UnitPlates adopts every
plate and reads its name, health and level off ours.

A swing speed of 0 latched for the session, and [noslamclip] never fired
grom's own probe is the record of it:
st=0 max=0 pct=nil win=0 idx=1
Four readings of one cause. `UnitAttackSpeed("player")` answered `0` between the
VM's birth and the first `feed_char` push, and that window always contains the
addon walk — `load_ingame_ui_on_world_entry` mints the VM, seeds the player's
roster record and runs every addon's file scope and `ADDON_LOADED` before a
Bevy feed system gets a turn. SP_SwingTimer latches `st_timerMax` there behind
`if not st_timerMax`, and `0` is truthy in Lua, so the guard never re-fires:
the first write to that global in a session is always the pre-push answer.
With `0` latched, `CleveRoids.GetSwingPercentElapsed()` answers nil (its own
`attackSpeed > 0` gate), `GetSlamWindowPercent()` answers 0, and
`ValidateNoSlamClip()` takes its "requires SP_SwingTimer" branch and returns
false. So `[noslamclip]` is false and `[slamclip]` is true for the rest of the
session, and the macro picks Heroic Strike every time with no indication —
which is exactly what he reported. `idx=1` in the same probe says the
`stance:1/3` half was never the problem.
I had called this latch faithful, on the grounds that `reference/1.12-shapes.tsv`
has `UnitAttackSpeed` returning exactly 2 values and never none. That is about
the arity and says nothing about a `0`, which is a swing speed no 1.12 client
can answer: the player's UNIT_FIELD_BASEATTACKTIME is in the create block the
real client has before `UI_Init`, and a unit with no weapon still carries the
engine's 2000. `ui_char::base_swing` already wrote the rule down — "0 or absent
read as not yet streamed: the vanilla 2000, never zero, as the reference divides
damage by it" — and `UnitCombatStats::default()`, which *is* the pre-push
answer, broke it. Now both read `VANILLA_SWING_MS` from one place.
It was never only this macro: BetterCharacterStats' DPS rows divide by the same
number and read `inf` in that window.
The bench test that documented the latch as harmless now pins it as the defect,
and asserts what the stand-in buys: a drained swing timer measures 100% elapsed
rather than nil, `[noslamclip]` is false out of combat by the window math rather
than by the addon's own bail, and nothing tells him in chat to install the addon
he already has.

Say out loud that GetAuctionSellItemInfo answers more than 1.12
The shape gate caught the extra two returns, which is exactly its job. They are not a gap to close, so they do not belong on NOT_YET_ASSERTED, which is a list of things that are wrong and may only shrink. BEYOND_1_12_ARITY is the other category: a binding that answers more because the realm's own FrameXML reads more, named with the reference's arity, ours, and the reason. The gate asserts both numbers, so an entry cannot drift — a stale reference arity fails, and so does a different count than the one the reason covers.

Three more kits loaded their files out of toc order, and one real defect found
Each of these was one cause behind a whole cluster, and none of them was our client being wrong — except the last, which is. The character sheet, six tests: the realm's PaperDollFrame_OnLoad builds a titles dropdown (UIDropDownMenu_Initialize at PaperDollFrame.lua:34, nothing stock 1.12 has), so without UIDropDownMenu.xml the OnLoad raises and the whole file fails to load. The trade-skill window, six tests: its two filter checkboxes index _G[this:GetName() .. "Text"] straight out of their OnLoad, and that FontString comes from OptionsCheckButtonTemplate, which the kit never loaded. The extra action bars, two of five: MultiActionBars.xml is toc row 48 and BonusActionBarFrame.xml is row 84, and the kit had them the other way round. The stance file's ShapeshiftBar_OnLoad runs the managed-positions pass, which seats bare stand-ins for MultiBarLeft/Right/BottomLeft; a publish to _G being non-overwriting, the real bars stayed shadowed by nameless empties — the bar frames answered, their buttons did not. Third kit in two sessions to trip on this exact thing. The three that remain are a genuine client defect, left red on purpose and written up where it fails. A MultiBar button's grid ring ignores its half-alpha tint because `_G["<name>NormalTexture"]` is a **different object** from `button:GetNormalTexture()` — while the live region's own GetName() is that very name. The fork is the depth of template inheritance: one level (ActionButton1) is fine, two (MultiBar1ButtonTemplate -> ActionBarButtonTemplate -> ActionButtonTemplate) is not, and neither outer template declares a <NormalTexture> of its own, so the duplicate comes from the loader's expansion. That reaches every _G[name .. "NormalTexture"] write in FrameXML and in addons, pfUI included, so it wants its own change in loader::widgets with its own tests. Workspace failures 257 -> 227, clippy clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01SgstFWtn1RxEJ5kVrpgYwn |

Two one-cause clusters: the pet bar never loaded, the auction window never built
**The pet bar, nine tests.** No script errors, and the shelf simply never drew. PetActionBarFrame had no scripts attached at all: the kit seats a bare stand-in under that name from the managed-positions pass — which it must, since the pass does PetActionBarFrame:IsShown() (UIParent.lua:2065) — and the real frame could never take the name back, a publish to _G being non-overwriting (0x701bd0). So PetActionBar_OnLoad never ran, showgrid stayed nil instead of 0, and ShowPetActionBar's `showgrid == 0` gate refused forever. The kit was loading BonusActionBarFrame.xml, whose ShapeshiftBar_OnLoad calls that pass, *before* PetActionBarFrame.xml. The realm's FrameXML.toc has them at rows 83 and 84, the other way round. Loading them in toc order fixes eight; the ninth asserted stock 1.12's unguarded `Attack ()`, and the realm now wraps that append in `if ( key ~= "" )`, so the client was right. Same shape and the same seat list that cost 137 tests through ChatFrame1. **The auction window, fourteen tests.** The whole Blizzard_AuctionUI load raised: the realm's rewritten CalculateAuctionDeposit is `floor(price * (duration/120) * (1 + (maxStack - stackSize) * 0.05) * 0.025)`, and GetAuctionSellItemInfo answered the reference's six values — 1.12 returns exactly six — so maxStack was nil and the arithmetic raised out of AuctionFrameAuctions_OnLoad. The window never built. It answers eight now: maxStack from the template's stack size, and the link. Then the realm's own CalculateAuctionDeposit replaces the engine binding, as it is meant to, which is why that test's numbers move — its fixture also needed Linen Cloth's real stack of 20, since a missing one reads 1 and makes the factor shrink below 1 for a two-item stack. Also recorded, because it changes what every earlier count in this session meant: `cargo test --workspace` stops at the first failing binary, so the "96 failures" I had been tracking was benilla-app's lib target alone. With --no-fail-fast the real total was 257; these two clusters take it to 243. benilla-ui is fully green (2061), and 80 of the rest are the known benilla-formats data goldens.
