- with no WoW install the client boots to the login screen instead of panicking on frame one: three world systems demanded install-gated resources their own startup never inserts
- `WOW_DATA=` — set and empty — means there is no install, in any build; the cursor says "no client data" once instead of thirty-one times
- the per-frame `bevy_egui pass output has not been prepared` ERROR is gone: a gated context runs an empty pass itself, so the idle lane keeps its savings and the log stays silent
- ECS diagnostics name their system in a dev build — no more `<Enable the debug feature to see the name>` in a panic

- Blackrock Mountain's lava bubbles animate at last: their sprite's flip-book channel was baked from a sequence they never play — UV and tint loops now bake per sequence, and a placement whose sequences disagree gets its own material
- a bonfire's logs were vanishing while its flame burned on: a body planted just under its own floor now claims the room above it, and the flame card and fire sound follow the body's cull instead of outliving it
- a WMO prop's animation host stops being cull-tested as an object in its own right
- WOW_TILE_RADIUS's doc now states its real default, 2, and why
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- UBRS's Rookery eggs hatch on approach now: the trap's despawn-anim packet was silently dropped and the entity freed the instant the destroy landed — the packet is parsed, and the reference's refcount pin holds the egg alive through its 2.7 s burst before it goes
- the AQ drakes' crawl is the server's doing: vmangos flies cyclic paths at walk speed, and the client's ride measures exact against the wire — the motion is inspectable now, down to a per-spline trace
- the chat bubble sits at the height 1.12 gives it: a latched constant from the model's stand box, replacing the posed-attachment anchor the RE just refuted
- the trigger-creature render gate folds back from the binary, byte citations corrected
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the pale lines through the speech bubble were its backdrop atlas bleeding across its own slices under magnification; the slices now inset, verified per row against the real backdrop bytes
- a bubble that never appears can say why: all seven silent refusals report themselves under the bubble trace
- the invisible trigger creature goes invisible at last — there is no server flag to consume; its model is authored empty, and the black slab people kept meeting was our own placeholder cube. a display that names a model now draws exactly what that model builds, including nothing
- a census probe lists which streamed entities are standing as placeholder cubes, and on which displays

- an addon's own texture files resolve from its folder, TGA included, and SetTexture answers 1 or nil the way the client does — custom icons and skins draw
- runtime SetParent re-levels a frame by the client's strata law, and the raise survives hide-and-show round-trips — AtlasLoot layers right
- an addon that unregisters an event mid-fire no longer robs the next addon of the same event — Bagnon's per-character database fills again
- the Model widget's clock truncates milliseconds like the client's, and the no-text cast-bar law is confirmed at the bytes and narrowed to the cast bar alone
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- dialogs carry the reference's toplevel bit, so the stack-split window opens above Bagnon instead of behind it
- the failure line fills its blank — "Requires Blacksmith Hammer", not "Requires" — and Opening casts stop printing a label the spell itself marks "no text"
- the pet bar's Attack/Follow/Stay tooltips name their keybinding, and typed text reaches the focused frame through the client's own delivery walk
- AtlasLoot parses again: our Lua keeps 5.0's compatibility semicolon
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a real skill-up prints its line; the lines the client keeps silent — class specs, racials, mounts — stay silent, off the game's own flag
- the stack-split dialog draws whole: its plate fills the window
- the four bag-bar buttons speak the reference's names all the way down, so Bagnon's overrides catch them and the backpack button lights while its window is open
- regions anchor at creation — the client's implicit-anchor law replaces a pile of draw-time fallbacks
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- an addon error shows the red script-error dialog the reference shows, and a runaway load loop can no longer freeze world entry
- food and drink show stack counts from the first login, and a paladin's aura bar lights the aura that is actually on
- logging out no longer erases the character from saved-bag addons: the player's absence is no data
- MPQ patches are discovered the way the client discovers them, and a slow arrival holds in place instead of falling through the world
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the zone-channel walk waits for real ground under the player, so login stops joining and leaving channels for zones you were never in
- the channel session ends with the character: a character switch no longer replays the old channels into the new session
- emoting at yourself goes out untargeted — "You wave.", exactly as the client sends it
- a body that is not in the scene casts no shadow, names nothing and cannot be clicked; and being attached to a body is not the same as being allowed to move it
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a channel line renders in the channel family's color, not the grey notice row the client consults and throws away
- a text emote composes its sentence — gender and target picked from the game's own tables — so a /wave is a line in chat, not just an animation
- a FontString's `font=` resolves a font object by name and gates the whole block, `<Gradient>` tints the art it sits on, and buttons' state fonts read `font=` too — Bagnon's white boxes and bare stack counts are fixed
- the money frame sizes its coins from the digits themselves, so Bagnon's gold stops opening cramped
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- lava and slime surfaces creep on the building path — the two liquid types the reference animates, and only those
- particle blend 1 is AlphaKey: the rock elemental throws tumbling chips instead of flat pale squares
- standing in a sealed room, outdoor creatures are never submitted to the scene at all — the reference's own election, not a hide
- an animation clip's arm frame fires no event keys, matching the client's walker rule frame for frame
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the terrain's impassable-chunk flag is parsed and fenced the way the binary fences it — all four sides, floored, rising only — so movement stops exactly where 1.12.1 stops
- a vertex normal authored as all zeros is legal content: the normalize is guarded, and the flat-black sleeves and skirts get their lighting back — a corpus sweep found 73 affected models nobody had filed
- Caverns of Time's asteroid belts turn: a rigid bone needs no rig
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- an animated doodad is culled by its authored box, not its bind pose — the one-yard bird flying a 64-yard circuit stops vanishing with the camera angle — and the fix survives the engine's own bound recompute
- the logon proof answers the server's version challenge instead of sending zeros, so a strict realmd stops rejecting benilla as a modified client
- two instruments land: a frame-by-frame visibility trace for one model, and a probe that classifies whether a realmd enforces the version check
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the Character window's third tab is in: faction rows under their headers, standing bars, the detail popup and the watch bar, at the reference's own anchors
- all four reputation opcodes parse byte-exact, the flag byte reads the way the client reads it, and a standing gain reveals the faction unless it is hidden
- an end-to-end golden drives live wire bytes through the game data to the exact visible row list
- the reference-code overlap is measured by an instrument instead of asserted — the start of a debt paid in full later in the day
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a player build ships beside the dev one — dev chords and probe surfaces go dark, and a gate enforces what a player can still reach, by medium not by module
- the binary carries its own shaders and its shipped UI, finds the WoW folder by itself, and keeps its local state in one benilla-config folder
- the glue screens get a capture shutter, and the engine stops depending on the protocol crate
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- timed quests get their countdown — a Quest Timers box under the minimap and a Time Remaining line in the quest log, kept against the server's own clock
- interiors go honest: footsteps stop crunching the terrain's snow through a building's floor, and tavern voices are authored dry, so the fake cave echo is gone
- snow is the reference's again — point-sprite flakes at the era's pixel size, and a spawn slab that leans into your run so a runner no longer outruns the field
- Stormwind stops drawing Elwynn through its walls, a looted quest crate's lid settles, cold zones puff visible breath, and the collect-quest toast fires only on a real advance
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the step-up and step-down budgets are the client's own verified numbers, and the step regime is chosen by the blocking edge
- walking off a kerb follows the surface down instead of diving past the edge; steep ground supports you only while you are descending onto it
- a ride on a moving platform survives the ground snap, and a vertical wall no longer depends on a float's sign
- trainer and craft rows sort with the real client's own comparators, one per window — Beast Training lists a skill's ranks in ascending order again
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the whole loop plays: the line arcs rod tip to bobber, the bite splashes with its own sound, and clicking the bobber reels in
- the verdicts read like 1.12: yellow "your fish got away" lines, the reel-in sound, the fishing loot window
- "You feel rested." prints on the transition, rest states come from the client's own Exhaustion table, and level 60 trades the XP strip for the max-level rail
- the Skills pane lists what the real client lists: the hidden rows, the sort, gray numberless single-rank lines
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a chat link edits as one atomic token: the caret can't land inside it, its colors survive, one keypress removes it whole
- spell tooltips print the resolved mana cost through the reference's own table walk, and the "% of base mana" line dies
- the spirit healer's confirm comes back after a cancel and wears its warning icon
- the dressing room's pane is a live animating model, and a tried-on bow lands in the hand
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ctrl-click an item to try it on: the dressing room dresses your double, and shift-click posts the item link to chat
- the pet tab lands in the character window: paper doll stats, family and diet, the right-click menu, and dropping food on the pet feeds it
- water-only spells refuse on dry land: aquatic form gates to swimming, client-side like the real one
- the macro icon picker's white squares get their art back, and option rows explain themselves on hover
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the spellbook's pet tab lists what the pet knows, with autocast toggled right on the page
- pet ability cooldowns sweep on the pet bar, and the bar binds to 1.12's Secondary Action Button keys
- the options window scrolls its pages in a real trough with seated arrows, nothing overflows the frame anymore
- Esc un-queues a queued strike, and a hostile unit's frame stops showing buffs the real client hides
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- drink enough and the screen blurs and your walk meanders, the camera carried along with the stagger; the underwater blur ships in the same lane
- boots leave prints on snow and sand that fade away in about six seconds, paws and hooves included
- key bindings move into the Options window with the rest of the settings, and action buttons abbreviate their hotkeys the way the client does
- the pet bar rearranges by drag, a running pet spell shows its active icon and a click cancels it, and spell ribbons follow their verified physics
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- every rebindable key runs through one chord-to-command engine, set in the era Key Bindings window, and buttons show their real keys
- a spell aimed at the ground sends its projectile to that spot, arcing to the point instead of a target
- a pet ordered onto something it can't attack refuses cleanly, and its frame shows the happiness face read from the client's own data
- a window's tabs clamp to the drawn edge and highlight exactly where they sit
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a hunter's or warlock's pet has its action bar now: attack, follow, stay, the pet's own spells with cooldowns and autocast sparkles
- the macro system lands: the macro window, the icon chooser, /cast and /macro, and macros dragged onto the action bar
- hunter shots look right at last: the bow draws and releases on the shot, and the arrow lays a spark trail its whole flight
- the options window re-dresses in 1.12's own art with the classic dialog look, and gets a working search box and clickable steppers
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- lava renders outside Blackrock at last: the mesher was dropping every open-world lava and slime surface, and 28 river mouths get their missing sea back in the same sweep
- Undercity's broken corridor returns, geometry and color both: a one-byte file overrun dropped the whole room, and a paint job one record short was being thrown away entire
- collision goes one-sided like the real client: walls stop you from the front and let you pass from behind
- the Booty Bay entrance is wood and rope again instead of a black cutout, glass picks up a real reflection, and models far from the map's center stop trembling
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the beam is on screen: Chain Lightning arcs outward hop by hop and Drain Life ropes from hand to victim — a write-order edge was erasing the finished geometry every frame, and a tripwire now guards the whole class
- the Controls page lands (sticky targeting, auto loot, invert mouse), UI scale waits for the era Apply button, and the terrain-distance slider retires
- with auto-loot in effect a lootable corpse shows the triple-pouch cursor, the real client's tell
- the character-screen freeze before a loading screen is gone: the shader warm-up hides behind a fully presented cover and tears down only its own roots
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a building's transition corridors carry the reference's bright-doorway fade: the black tunnel between sunlit outside and a lit interior is gone
- the Options window gets its first real pages: seven 1.12 sound rows on Audio and the two 1.12 Video Options sliders on Graphics, all live CVars
- terrain culls like the real client: the ground is one-sided, so from underneath you see through it exactly as 1.12.1 does
- the beam system's data plane lands: 48 live chain, drain and funnel beams read off the real patch chain, with a byte-exact wire golden — the renderer follows
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the GCD system now matches the real client end to end: opening a chest no longer eats the running global cooldown, and a running sweep's start stops wobbling between frames
- the mounted left shoulder's wild swing is fixed at the bone: a bone flagged to ignore its parent's rotation now does, decided before any camera-facing runs
- a gameobject effect with several animation sequences plays the right one: Molten Core's rune flame spreads and dances instead of collapsing into a bright dot
- the targeting cursor asks the thing under it and greys by default like the real client, and the ground-target reticle keeps its own location rules
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the loading screen now compiles every shader the world can reach: sky, water, spell shards and model variants stop hitching the first time they appear
- a locked chest's cursor carries the LOCKED word like the real client, and the lock verdict never leaks into the sent packet
- enchanting asks before it acts: a bind-on-enchant item gets its confirm popup, and so does replacing an enchant that's already there
- a long gossip menu scrolls like the reference with rows grown to their wrapped text, and music already playing is not restarted when the server re-sends it
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- clicking your mount item while mounted dismounts you, and the mount icon no longer wears a stack "1"
- the horse appears and you're simply in the seat pose with the mount's cloud puff, no spellcast finishing over the saddle — and dismounting cuts clean to standing, no phantom jump-landing
- a mounted rider counter-turns head only, item-targeted spells show the targeting cursor, and the wrong thing in a quiver says "Only Arrows can be placed in that."
- liquid lookups ride a spatial index, and the camera's waterline comes from the client's own corner probe
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the mount transition re-seats the rider instead of rebuilding them: shield glows, weapon enchants and worn visuals stay lit through mount and dismount
- an enchanted item's tooltip carries its enchant line, coloured per slot, with a temporary enchant's countdown
- a server refusal with nothing to say now says nothing: the raw "Inventory error" debug line is gone, real refusals still print
- the mail icon clears when you close the mailbox, and translucent models classify against the water plane
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- an item use is a real cast with an in-flight gate: the double-click never hides the bar and never ships a duplicate use
- the action bar answers both mouse buttons, and three more click-registration gaps are closed
- a cast right after a camera drag no longer dies to the position you already left
- landing while mounted keeps the gait's cadence, and particle clouds and ribbon trails sort correctly above and below the water surface
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a buff or debuff keeps its duration timer through a teleport: the table dies with the session now, not with the map change
- a scaled-up creature paces its animation by its size — the Dire Maul ogre's walk drops from 2.2× to true speed, mounts likewise
- the phantom "you have mail" icon at login is gone: no mail means no icon
- underwater there is no sky, and the camera eye never straddles the waterline
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ice block freezes the body the frame it lands, before the arm even rises
- the loot message links the item, so the name wears its quality colour
- a looted item drops into the bag that actually took it
- effect models live their authored life, born, held, decayed, and bar fills sit under their borders
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the breath and fatigue bars are in, driven by the server's timers
- combo points show on the target frame, rogue and druid only, per target, and Overpower lights on them
- a stun freezes turning too, and gm fly over water stays in the air
- /sit and the shipped slash commands work, sheathing sounds like the weapon's material, and the bar never holds an outgrown spell rank
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the granted movement modes are one system now: slow fall slows, levitate hovers, water walking holds the surface, a root pins you even mid-air
- casting while moving refuses with the real error, and a jump cast plays its animation in the air
- Z cycles melee, ranged, stowed, every landed swing draws the weapon, and Alt-Z hides the UI
- login faces where you logged out, and the dev shortcuts moved to Ctrl+Shift off the Windows key
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- spell shimmer timing is right: shared clocks tick together, each cast anchors its own
- the flickering ground items in Orgrimmar are fixed, a transparent draw-order tie
- static scenery answers the mouse again, and the freeze debuff's crackle rings at the target
- bug reports moved to Discord, GitHub issues are closed
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- root and snare state visuals are read from the spell kit's tenth effect slot and planted in the world at the unit's feet, where they belong
- Arcane Intellect's flare is one size cast to cast now: a joint-lane card was taking the sequence twinkle twice (joint and card), sometimes swelling it to 2.5 yards
- refusing a gear piece now names the reason instead of printing a bare count
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- buff durations count down properly: the bar polls the remaining time every frame and a server-sent span reads as real seconds
- ground-targeted spells find the floor: Consecration's and Flamestrike's hovering discs ride the decal projector, and Frost Nova's births ride its expanding ring (the emitter params are per-frame tracks now)
- a spell or action stuck on the cursor lets go on a left click, and a macOS hardware-cursor drift heals itself in-process
- a stealthed weapon fades right: the fade twin's cutout follows the source blend, so an opaque batch never alpha-tests mid-fade
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the spellbook draws the cooldown pie on a spell that's cooling down, and the active form's slot lights its checked ring
- shader variants warm at startup (with a tripwire if one ever compiles live), so a first cast no longer hitches on shader compile
- additive glow stacks clamp the way the original scene does, taming Frost Nova's blown-out mist, and shoulder cards split only at rigidly separable bones
- the login handshake now reads the same under both SRP encodings, and cooldown events no longer race the net step
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a stealthed unit's particles and ribbons now dim with the body, and a depth-prime pass stops overlapping translucent parts from darkening each other
- changing gear re-dresses the character in place instead of tearing the whole model down and rebuilding it
- terrain tiles furnish cell-by-cell and model render forms build paced across frames, so first contact with fresh ground no longer hitches
- Ghost Wolf renders properly ghostly, and a live toggle swaps its action-bar icon to the active form while it holds
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- crossing into a new zone lands the whole discovery moment: the "Discovered" toast, the experience line in chat, and the race-keyed jingle
- crossing a tile boundary no longer recycles a whole row of terrain: a keep-band holds what you just left, unloading is budgeted, and fresh requests stagger instead of bursting
- a sheath swap moves the weapon (and its sparkles) to the new slot instead of rebuilding it, and a fading model now dims its own effects with it
- pressing the cast button again cancels the cast, and a form that can't cast a spell refuses it locally instead of round-tripping the server
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- elementals no longer freeze mid-air as corpses: a one-shot death band's clock now clamps instead of wrapping, so the authored dissolve plays out
- an equipped item's sparkles, cards and glows reach the character-select booth and the character sheet's model pane, and a tint reaches a unit's attached items too
- unit lighting is back on the terrain-shade chain, and light ramps chase a clamped target so walking from sun into shade actually ramps
- test accounts gained a full-roster seeding verb (every class levelled, geared and specced in one command)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- stealth reads as stealth now: the body fades to the reference's 30 % and creeps with the proper stealth walk and stand poses
- the item and enchant glow subsystem exists: permanent weapon glows and enchant visuals show in the world and at character select
- the character-select background's colour banding (the reported "16-bit" look) is fixed at the render target, and the tauren stage's black corners with it
- aura body tints got a real per-instance channel, so a spell can tint the whole unit without touching its neighbours
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- ground-targeted spells work end to end: press the button, get the targeting cursor, click the ground, and the cast ships on the wire the way the real client sends it
- a reticle sized to the spell's real radius rides the cursor, and on the click the storm model, falling shards and area sound all land at the point
- character screens: a newly created character comes back selected on the list, and the authored layout scales to small windows instead of clipping the bottom controls off
- blob shadows ride their receiver's clip transform and the raster bias that kept them faint is measured and fixed
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- terrain draws per chunk now, and one authority culls everything outside: buildings, billboard cards, particle emitters
- the fps and memory creep on long flights is fixed twice over: material animations only tick what something draws, and far-away art is released by distance (with a 30 s dwell floor so fast cameras don't thrash it)
- the second crash ever reported (a cast racing a despawning unit at flight speed) is fixed, with a regression test that reproduces the exact panic
- every build now prints which commit it is, so a bug report can say exactly what it ran
