- your character speaks its refusals: `VocalUISounds.dbc` gets an adapter, `sound::vocal` transcribes `0x4580f0`'s per-race table and `0x458250`'s play cycle — four plays of one line arm the annoyed variations, and the bus cap of one keeps the annoyed and ordinary lines from playing at once; a displayed message now carries its catalog RECORD, so its sound comes off the same row (tag 0x44 plays the named cue, anything else speaks the line), and 36 of the keys benilla raises have a voice — cast failures, inventory refusals, the quest/auction/petition lines, taxi, bank, stable, mail, the talent wipe; `EnableErrorSpeech` joins the CVars at the registrar's own default and the Audio page grows 1.12's fourth Sound checkbox with the dependency ours was missing (the master greys Ambience AND Error Speech, not Music); seven of the twelve taxi refusals turn out to be the YELLOW info line, not the red one they all took
- at equal (strata, level) the hit sweep takes the EARLIER-linked frame: `0x764aa0` inserts with a strict `ja`, so equal keys are appended, and `0x7660d0` sweeps each bucket from index 0 upward — the reverse of the reverse-draw-order walk we had, so draw order is unchanged and only the hit sweep reorders within a plane; the wheel becomes its own index, and the five full-area wheel-catcher Buttons (Craft, QuestLog, Skill, TradeSkill, Trainer) are deleted, since under the true tie law each would have swallowed its whole window's clicks — a bug the Skill window's own comment had already recorded once
- one rasterizer settle for the whole ground-decal family, and it is the measured one: the shipped client constructs `CGxDeviceD3d`, so the OpenGL arm holding the −4.0 slope factor is never executed (factor 0 on 2485 of 2485 captured `glPolygonOffset` calls), and every number derived from it was 256× too small; the reference groups the blob shadow with the selection RING and the footprints on their own at 10×, the reverse of ours — but ours is reversed-Z float where the bake residual is millimetre-scale and constant with distance, so `DECAL_RASTER` collapses to one value (32768: the ring and the reticle had been under their own conflict at 8192 and simply never walked on a slope)

- every translucent UI pixel over the 3D world composited in the wrong space: the world lane and the UI lane each blend in gamma bytes the way the reference's fixed-function device does, but the one blend that mixes them — the UI camera's finished image onto the sRGB swapchain — ran in linear, so a chat tab whose body is black at alpha 102/255 left the scene at 77.5% of its brightness instead of 60%, and the dock's hover glow (an ADD with no plate under it) read as a lozenge floating on grass; the world camera now renders to an off-screen image drawn as the first quad of the UI pass, so every UI blend over the world is the same blend as every UI blend over UI — after, the selected tab plate lands at 0.593–0.600 of the bare scene against 0.60 predicted, and bare-world pixels move at most 1 LSB
- the backdrop image is un-encoded `Rgba16Float`, because the UI arc composites in gamma and takes its one decode at the end — pre-encoding would land a second encode in that chain, and quantizing un-encoded values to 8 bits is the banding collapse measured long ago; and hiding the UI keeps the world: the toggle used to retire every batch in the pass, which would now be a black screen — hidden means the two UI lanes draw nothing while the backdrop, which is the world, still draws, with the no-world glue screens pinned on the old behaviour
- a button's highlighted label is its own font instance: the client swaps which of three embedded instances the label reads — it never merges colour across states — so the `highlight_color.or(normal_color)` fallback is gone, and `LockHighlight()` now enters the label, not just the highlight texture (the reference blanks a recipe row's highlight texture to "" and then locks the row it selected — with nothing left to pin, the lock's only possible effect is the label, and that is the white text on a selected recipe)
- tradeskill, craft and class-trainer rows read white on hover and on select: all three windows carried the row name as a child FontString no per-state font can reach, behind a "no engine method" note that was true when written and stale ever since — the name is now the button's own `<ButtonText>` under the base template's `<NormalFont>`/`<HighlightFont>`/`<DisabledFont>` trio, and the windows call `SetTextColor`/`LockHighlight`/`UnlockHighlight` where the reference calls them

- the auction house end to end: right-clicking an auctioneer opens Browse/Bids/Auctions on the server's reply — search, the category tree from your own DBCs, the reference's 50-a-page pager, multi-key sorting (directions corrected at the bytes), bid/buyout, the sell slot with deposit and duration, cancel with its fee popup; prices sit on the reference's own money-frame kit in lined-up columns, the twenty auction messages split refusals-red / outcomes-to-chat, and a won or sold auction reads as a proper mail receipt — the window's Lua re-worded in our own terms after the overlap ratchet caught the first cut leaning on the reference's text
- the PvP honor system whole: the Honor tab and the inspect page over a real wire model, with current rank and highest-ever rank correctly two different fields
- a day of reported fixes: WASD survives a /logout re-entry, addon settings save on a window close and Cmd+Q (exactly once — a mac close could fire the tail twice), clams open again, random-enchant items name themselves on every surface, the loot window's rows hold their seats with legible counts, idle players stop sinking through building floors, the shooter re-pulls between Auto Shots, portraits loosen ~19% to the client's own aspect-1.0 matrix, and big creatures thump the camera off the CameraShakes table
- character select clicks like 1.12 — captions whiten on hover, buttons fire on release, Humans face straight ahead off the stage bone's real yaw, the facing is per-character, and hunter/warlock pets stand beside you at their family-ramp size with their own emitters (the imp's flames), the Voidwalker's sequence-hidden shackles culled
- the smaller player-facing set: nameplate on/off rows in Options with the CanAttack category gate (emissaries stop plating), the bonus bar slides up with igBonusBarOpen, the camera's framing height glides on a shapeshift, the open letter evicts the centre seat, the far-band fog hull stops printing a pale horizon stripe at low view distance, the guide arrow is gold with per-source rim art, error text fades through its shadow too, and /convertraid converts the party
- README: the auction house and PvP honor move out of "not built yet"

- the social window's third tab is live — the roster in both its views, the member card with its promote/demote/remove verbs, the rank editor's thirteen permissions, the guild information board, and the invite, leave, kick and note dialogs behind them
- setting your hearthstone at an innkeeper now asks before it takes and says so afterwards, and the innkeeper's gossip lines get their own icons back
- unavailable talents grey out, and every greyed icon in the client now goes through the same luminance fold the original used
- the buff tooltip's remaining-time line reads gold with the client's own hour/minute ladder, the macro editor takes a shift-click to paste a spell, trainer rows repaint after a purchase, and a long book page stops flickering its ellipsis

- benilla loads real 1.12 addons from Interface/AddOns — TOC, XML and Lua through one loader, with per-addon saved variables, Bindings.xml and the lifecycle events addons expect
- both AddOns screens are in: the character-select list with per-addon enable state, and the ESC menu's in-game list
- the API surface is measured, not guessed — a corpus harness runs hundreds of real 1.12 addons and ranks exactly which globals, templates and verbs they demand
- the Lua dialect is the client's own, read off the binary — 5.0 semantics with the 1.12 additions, and UI source files are bytes, not UTF-8

- minimap zoom and the camera's distance and pitch persist across sessions
- the trainer's point-filter is a saved variable now and survives a relog, resetting per packet like the reference
- the options window gains its Combat page, over rows that can write the UI's own saved globals
- the step-up is a rise, not a jump forward — and the descent cone's cap belongs to the body, on every leg

- the Great Forge's lava stays drawn from every angle, and the chasm catwalk reads as a connected grate again
- music decoding and shader-compile bursts stop crowding the audio's lane, and the output buffer follows the device's real deadline
- the audio path grows its instruments: a mix tap to WAV, a starvation meter, a hardware overload listener
- trainer detail icons carry the reference's own tooltip

- clicking a book in the world opens it and turns its pages: letters and world books share one reader
- the cursor's object rules are the client's own 31-row strategy table now, so decorative objects stop pretending to be usable
- trainer and tradeskill windows draw each row's icon by the reference's own law, and the trainer's filter dropdown toggles again
- water color follows the zone's light blend, so lakes stop snapping between area tints

- the pet gets its own unit frame beside yours, and an Attack order no longer latches as the standing command
- five rooms that always read bone dry hold their water now, the Deeprun Tram's flooded stretches among them
- macros fire through the client's own chat door, and the macro window fits its tabs and scrolls its icon chooser
- the options window grows a Nameplates page and its first dropdown, and the name-display switches apply live in the world
