locked doors start refusing, and indoor creatures appear already lit
- Locked doors no longer open on a bare right-click. The client now reads a lock the way the original does — the free "quick open" every character carries stops matching keyed doors, so a padlocked door greys the cursor and refuses unless something you have actually opens it. The same gate fixes the skinning knife: it only shows for characters who know Skinning. (Opening a door with its key lands later today.) - A locked door's tooltip matches the original now: one red "Locked" line, a single white requirement line, seated in the screen corner instead of chasing the cursor. - A door that spawns open sends no state field at all on the wire — the server omits zero-valued fields and "open" is zero — and the client read that silence as "unknown" and left the collider solid. Absent now reads as open. This is the first of two independent defects behind open gates that still block; the second falls in the next snapshot. - Indoor creatures and objects fade in already lit by their room, instead of appearing sun-lit and snapping to interior light the instant the fade ends.

an idle frame skips the quiet UI, and a lighting hunt closes clean
- The UI stopped paying to discover that nothing changed. Layout used to hash ~1,900 frames' worth of inputs every frame just to decide "quiet"; it now tracks a mutation epoch and answers with one integer compare, and a settled frame reuses last frame's rendered quads instead of re-rasterizing every glyph. ~0.9 ms off every idle frame — with a verify mode, forced on across all 489 UI tests, that re-runs every skipped resolve in full and asserts it would have produced identical results. - Across this run of snapshots, the one number everything is graded by: CPU work per frame at the crowded dungeon spot went from ~29 ms to ~16.5 ms. - A lighting question got the full treatment and an honest answer. Units briefly took a different day/night lighting law; it read wrong on screen the same evening, and a build-by-build hunt a full week back confirmed the world's look never regressed in the first place — the change is reverted, nothing about the look changes in this snapshot, and the question stays parked until the one remaining unknown in the reference client is pinned. - The character pane's model booth grew a headless eye — a dump of exactly what it draws, no live session needed — built for that hunt, kept for the next one.

every effect rides one stream, and the bag tooltip costs nothing
- Particles, ribbon trails, blob shadows, the selection ring, ground decals, water foam and the weather all push their quads into one shared vertex stream now — one buffer, batched draws, indices built per frame in draw order. ~1,100 emitters at the crowded dungeon spot stopped being ~1,100 mesh assets the engine reallocated every frame, no material asset is ever mutated for an effect again, and adjacent draws merge like the original's own batches (its measured shape: 793 quads in 23 draws). Vertices went camera-relative on the way — the fix for streaks and flakes vanishing in far zones, where the raw coordinates get big. - Hovering an item in your bags cost +14 CPU ms for as long as the tooltip sat open. The tooltip's refresh loop is faithful 1.12 behaviour (the bag button re-runs its hover every frame, unthrottled, so a late-arriving item fills in without a re-hover) — but each rebuild dropped the text measuring cache, so every frame re-shaped every line. One line keeps the cache: +14 → +0.1 ms, and the paperdoll, inspect and merchant tooltips stop paying the same tax as spikes. - "Which room is this creature in" walks one anchor per model instead of every lit part — ~13,700 part visits a frame became ~1,700 anchor rows. The frame-time win was honestly flat (the cost had already moved elsewhere); it lands for the structure, and the old sweep's repair duties became event-driven with it. - The perf probe defends its own window now — always-on-top from the first tick, occlusion counted on the measurement line — after two long overnight runs were silently destroyed by the display going to sleep.

the voidwalker's eyes come back, and skinning becomes ours
- The voidwalker's eye glow vanished whenever the camera rose above eye level. Three investigations said depth; measuring the depth buffer inside the live quads said otherwise — the fragments reached the framebuffer every frame, and the body's own transparent batches painted over them. The real client draws a model's particles after that model's batches, always. Ours now does: every effect carries a draw-order rung sized to clear exactly its own model. - Widened to every effect family after asking "what else does this fix": ribbon trails (a wisp's streamers wove six batches deep into its own body and flickered as the head whipped) and 3-D model particles (Cone of Cold's shards). A census over all 9,691 models found 967 whose own body could paint over their effects; all take the rung now. - The skinning lane is ours end to end: every rig's joint matrices live in our shared GPU buffer, written only when a rig actually moved, and our shader reads them. The engine's lane rewrote the entire joint buffer every frame and swept every entity in the world for changed transforms — that machinery now runs against empty sets. Another 6.7 CPU ms off the worst reported dungeon spot, which now holds a flat 60 fps with p99 under 19 ms. - Getting around while developing: Ctrl+Cmd+G lands your character where the free-fly camera is, and Alt-clicking the world map teleports you there (both ride the server's own teleport, GM-gated). The frozen-body coordinates the panel used to copy while flying now follow the camera. - A stuck main thread now diagnoses itself: a watchdog samples our own stacks and prints where the time went, and a hung teardown names its last system instead of hanging the window.

copy and paste works everywhere, and the sun keeps its colour
- One text-input law for every field. Login, character create and the delete dialog each improvised their own tiny keyboard handling — no caret movement, no selection, no clipboard, and Ctrl/Cmd+V typed a literal "v" into the password box. All of them now run the same byte-verified edit-box law as chat: clipboard, select-all, word moves, shift-selection, the real 0.5 s caret blink. The password box masks what you copy off it, like the original. - Copy/paste on Linux had two independent causes, one per direction: our window is Wayland but the clipboard backend spoke X11 only, and a copy relinquished the X11 selection the moment it returned (an X11 clipboard lives only as long as its owning connection). Both fixed — Wayland windows get a real Wayland clipboard, X11 keeps a held handle. AltGr is not Ctrl anymore either, so Polish and German layouts can type ą, ć and ź in chat instead of triggering select-all. Compile-checked on Linux; wants a real-session retest. - The exterior sun keeps its colour. A per-channel clamp saturated the warm continental sun to pale yellow-white on every sunlit fence, post and doodad; the clamp now happens once, at the sum, so the fiery orange survives — the reported Silverpine fence and Blackrock steps match the reference's own arithmetic. - A pool has a floor. Undercity's upper slime channels claimed the dry room a storey below them — 115 yards down still read as submerged. A pool now stops at its own room's floor; a sweep of every building in the shipped world found 51 such stacked sites across 6 buildings, all closed. - Ctrl/Cmd+Z hides the whole UI layer for clean screenshots, and instrumented debug runs open their window in the background instead of stealing focus.

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

the micro menu, the ping meter, and the PvP flag
- The main menu bar's two empty recesses fill. The micro menu — the eight arched buttons: character, spellbook, talents, quest log, socials, world map, main menu, help — sits in the dark panel between the page arrows and the bags, transcribed from the reference's own layout: the character button wears your portrait, a button holds itself down while its panel is up, and the talent button appears at level 10. The latency meter fills the one slot the bar art leaves transparent for exactly it, tinted green/yellow/red on the reference's 300/600 ms thresholds and drawn UNDER the bar art, seen through its window, the way 1.12 actually does it. The socials and main-menu buttons find their panels one snapshot later; help still waits. - The UI explains itself on hover: 1.12 ships its detailed two-line tooltips ON — a FrameXML default, not the opt-in extra it is often remembered as — so the micro buttons, your own portrait, the XP bar, the five bag buttons and the ping meter all answer a hover with the reference's own explanations. - The PvP flag, end to end: crossed swords on the player, target and party frames, driven by the two descriptor bits the wire actually carries, and `/pvp` speaks — the yellow toast plus the system chat line, the OFF sentence being the one that warns the flag lingers for five minutes. It really does linger: turning it off waits out the server's timer, which looks like a bug and is the reference. - Quest markers stopped freezing. The grey `!` over a questgiver above your level goes gold the moment you ding, an NPC re-entering view is asked afresh instead of wearing a session-old answer, and the marker drops when the questgiver bit goes off — the re-ask triggers mirror the reference's own set, plus one named addition (your own level changing). - Water and heights: swimming downhill no longer bounces between swim and fall ten times a second — the surface line is a two-sided constraint, so the swimmer settles with the river instead of being left behind by it. And collision height is per-unit now, read from the unit's own model: a gnome used to swim with a third of a yard of water over her head because five depth lines were quoting a human's number. - A round of pixel honesty in text and chat: the newest chat line no longer wears a wider drop shadow than every line above it (shadows move in whole pixels now), keeps its descenders, and hover boxes stop painting over the chat body. The chat input's history browse survives programmatic edits, a failed script chunk warns instead of vanishing, and recall deepens to 64 lines. Idle animation got honest too: a model's idle is Stand resolved through its own lookup table — never file order, which had the duel flag bobbing on its spawn clip — and an armed idle is culled on the box its animation authors, not the bind pose, so the flag stops vanishing at most camera angles.

duels, inspecting other players, and water that ends at the bank
- Duels. Challenge another player from their right-click menu, or with `/duel`, and `/forfeit` to give it up. Both popups are there — the challenge you accept or decline, and the warning when you leave the field — with the flag countdown between them, and the outcome printed in chat when someone is knocked out or flees. Read off the reference client's own duel packets and the three globals it keeps client-side, which is why the challenger reads "You have requested a duel." even though the server never echoes that back. - Inspect. Right-click a player and open their paper doll: their nineteen publicly visible equipment slots with icon, name, quality and a linkable item, and their body standing in the pane, which follows along if you retarget while the window is open. No stack counts and no durability — those are not fields another player publishes, which is exactly why the reference client's inspect doll has never shown them either. - Water knows where it stops. Swimming used to trigger in the dry tunnel thirty yards under Stormwind's canal, and in mid-air over Blackrock's lava. A liquid is now the grid the map file actually stores — one wet flag per cell, and the surface height a bilinear over the four corners of the cell you are standing in, the same sample the reference client takes — so the water starts at the bank and its surface sits where your eye puts it. Lava is a liquid you swim in, an indoor liquid asks the building you are inside, and `/liquid` prints every surface claiming your feet and where each one came from. - Creature parts authored to appear only on death — the voidwalker, the banshee, the ooze, the stone elemental, the infernal — were drawing the whole time: material alpha now bakes per animation sequence and the unit lane actually evaluates it. The character and inspect model panes are lit by the reference widget's own single light instead of blowing out white, the rotate arrows spin while you hold them, and the transparent sort ladder had its sign backwards, so overhead names draw over water again instead of being painted out by a canal behind them. Underneath, the protocol writer's 95-verb drawer and its thousand-line spell module split into per-family files — no behaviour change, just a tree you can find things in.

other players walk the world, and NPCs speak your name
- Other players walk the world. A watched player's motion between server updates now runs through the same grounded movement resolve as your own character — same capsule, same colliders, same step-up and ground election — so they follow terrain every frame instead of every packet, and stop at a wall instead of walking into it and being snapped back. Their jumps are swept against the world too, and a standstill jump steered mid-air reports that steer, the one mid-air press the reference client broadcasts rather than defers. - The move relay rebuilt: relayed moves ride a per-unit chain on real time, a due move never jumps ahead of its unit's queue, and SMSG_COMPRESSED_MOVES — the batched carrier the server sends under load — is decoded rather than skipped. Our own send path now matches the reference client's: facing streams while moving, Nagle is off so each packet is one write, and the strafe axis nets so left and right can never ride the same packet. - NPC and quest text speaks the whole $-macro grammar, carved from the reference bytes — your name, class and race, the gendered forms, and the server's live world states — and the same substitution feeds gossip, quest text, the quest log and unit frames. Greetings are a weighted draw, rolled per NPC per open, and a quest giver with no quest to give is no longer clickable, where it used to open a dialog holding nothing but a placeholder greeting. - Spell tooltips finish the reference's line law: cast time and cooldown behind the real passive gate, the required tool or form, the reagents block, the chance-to-X line, a multi-bit equipped-item requirement named properly instead of by raw bits, and a buff's dispel class. - The UI layout engine got a dense, reusable anchor solver, and a change gate that skips the resolve entirely on frames where no layout input moved — in practice, almost every idle frame. Pets are named by their pet number rather than a creature-template entry, so the client asks the query the server can actually answer. And the asset extractor grew a stray-geometry census for tracking down geometry that renders where it should not. This snapshot replaces the six dated `sync` commits that stood here before it, whose subjects said nothing but the date. If you cloned before now: `git fetch && git reset --hard origin/main`.
