This checkout had no git history at all, so this one commit carries the whole
of the Everwood work as a single import on top of chairmanpow/benilla-octo's
`main` (706cd71). The two trees have genuinely diverged — each has files the
other does not — so this is a fork point, not a catch-up.
Today's work, which is the reason a baseline exists at all:
- Booth previews no longer cast world shadows (`NO_BOOTH_SHADOW`). Portrait
characters were entering the sun's shadow cascades, so every skinned-rig
shadow specialization compiled live mid-frame; the hitch detector logged
"main thread blocked 1316 ms" beside a `compiled LIVE` warning. This was
the Fashion/Tmog stutter.
- Per-pane dress-up: each `DressUpModel` pane assembles and stages its own
tried-on look instead of every pane mirroring the live player.
- Item template cache is append-only JSONL written on the IO pool, replacing
an 11.6 MB whole-map JSON rewrite on the main thread every 10 s.
- `WOW_SYSTEM_TIMING` rebuilt per-thread: it took 2 mutexes per system enter
and 4 per exit, costing 15 ms a frame (590 fps -> 60) and corrupting the
measurements it was taken to produce.
- The visibility-churn sweep moved to its own `WOW_FLASH_CHURN` switch, so a
frame-cost reading no longer pays 2.7 ms a frame for it.
Local state (`benilla-config/`, `logs/`, `target/`) is excluded by the
existing .gitignore; the account credential it holds is not in this commit.

Lua bindings now read their arguments the way the 1.12.1 client does:
- Numeric strings parse as Storm's `SStrToInt` (`0x64ac60`) and `SStrToFloat` (`0x64aaa0`). That covers channel keys, `GetNumber` and `item:` fields.
- Flag arguments go through `GetBoolOrDefault` (`0x6f1c10`) with each site's default. That is about 40 bindings, `SetChecked()` and `ShowHelm()` among them.
- Colour channels take numeric strings (`lua_tonumber`), and alphas are `isnumber`-gated: no raise, 1.0 by default. A three-argument `SetVertexColor` keeps the current alpha (`0x79ae0a`). So action-bar rings dimmed by a drag stay dimmed, as in 1.12.1.
- `SetTexture("1")` takes the colour form. MessageFrame channels follow `0x795590`.
- `LoggingChat`/`LoggingCombat` return the flag.
Binding-level tests use the reference's values.

Code health in `benilla-ui`, found while its comments were rewritten. No behaviour a player can see changes.
- **Unused globals and queues removed.**
- The Rust `ChatFrame_OpenChat` and `ChatFrame_SendTell` queued text that nothing drained. The stock `ChatFrame.lua` defines both globals and replaces them when it loads, as the reference's FrameXML does.
- `BenillaGetItemStats` had no Lua caller. Its test of the item cache's miss, ask and push now runs through `GetItemInfo`, which shares that path.
- `UiScript::queue_social_request` had no caller.
- **One true/nil helper.** Seven modules each carried their own copy of `binding_abi::flag`, the reference's `1`-or-nil boolean. They call it now.
- **Three tests test their claim.**
- `click_focuses_regardless_of_autofocus_…` built both boxes with autoFocus on. One is now off.
- `level_shift_saturates_at_zero` never saturated. Its child now drops past 0.
- The layout profiler's `plan` bucket was never set, so it always printed 0. It is gone.
- **Smaller fixes.** An empty `if buyback {}` branch is gone, and a doc comment no longer sits on a `use` line instead of on `install_justify`.
Checked with `cargo clippy -p benilla-ui --all-targets -D warnings` and `cargo test -p benilla-ui` (1513 passed) before the land gates.

Part of #41: the comments of `benilla-ui` (the Lua UI engine, its FrameXML loader and its widgets) are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 43,140 comment lines become 15,161.
- **The mechanical strip.** The citations that were only a private record number go first, and each edit is shown to be a pure removal.
- **Wrong facts corrected.** The rewrite corrects the comments that stated wrong facts. Among them:
- `0x64a480` is the case-sensitive compare (a byte `repz cmpsb`), and `0x64a4c0` the case-insensitive one.
- A frame's id sits at `+0xb0`, not `+0xb4`. `EnableKeyboard`/`IsKeyboardEnabled` are `0x776ec0`/`0x776f90`.
- A region's unpinned edge has no fallback to its owner's rect: the owner supplies only the scale.
- `$parent` expands to the nearest named ancestor, or "Top" when none is named (`0x76c5b0`), not simply to the parent.
- A StatusBar fills from its internal normalised fraction, not from `GetValue()`.
- The addresses of `StartDuel` and `StartDuelUnit` were swapped.
- Many "untraced" notes now give the traced reference fact: the drag threshold, the per-grip sizing edges, the empty-`autoFocus` skip, and `SetTexCoordModifiesRect`'s default.
- Stock FrameXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files and corrected. `ref-` file names become the stock file names.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with a reason. A surface that exists only for the retired Era addon target says so plainly: it is not 1.12.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Nine second readers compared every file old against new, restored the facts the rewrite had dropped, and checked each new citation against the code, the stock files, vmangos and the reference.
Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#131–#142), and more are being validated. The comments here state what the code does. String literals are untouched; they are #92.

Comments that pointed into the maintainer's private reverse-engineering notes (a note by name, a
path, a section or finding id, the analysis's own name for a client function, a process word) now
carry the fact itself, cited by the reference client's address, by vmangos file and line, or as
"the reference". Nobody outside could follow those pointers.
Comment text only, plus the test-assert and log strings that carried the same pointers. No claim
changes: a comment the notes have since corrected keeps its wording here, and correcting it is
separate work.
The two reference generators, `scripts/gen-reference-globals.py` and
`scripts/gen-reference-verb-events.py`, named the private notes' layout to find their inputs. They
now take the input files as arguments (`--capture`, `--framexml`, `--names`, `--extents`,
`--disasm`). Run on the same inputs, both write the committed tables row for row; only the two
header lines that named the old environment variable change.
Checked per file:
- the code is identical: each file with its comments stripped compares equal before and after; a
changed string literal is compared under a mask that proves only literal text moved and every
literal kept its line count;
- no client address the old text cited was dropped;
- a second reviewer checked every added address against its derivation;
- a detector for the notes' names, paths, ids, function names and process words finds none left;
- `scripts/gates.sh` is green.

- a Vanish, a stealth or a unit leaving range clears your target at once, not two seconds later, and TAB reaches a mob behind you (2345)
- a fully painted terrain layer covers fully: roads and rock no longer let about 6% of the grass underneath show through (2345)
- companion pets show their names, the saved camera pitch survives a login, and a missed resurrect offer no longer blocks later ones (2345)
- ESC on a quest giver closes it, browsing the auction house by category searches the right items, and abandon removes the quest you chose (2345)
- a profession window open at logout no longer reopens for the next character (2345)

- the character sheet is the reference's own — `CharacterFrame.xml`, `PaperDollFrame.xml` and `PetPaperDollFrame.xml` off the player's chain in the reference's own order, 2800 lines of ours deleted — and the one engine verb it needed had no pixels: a bare `<PlayerModel name="CharacterModelFrame">` drew nothing here, so the swap as written would have replaced a working paper doll with an empty rectangle, invisible to every loader and gap check; a `<Model>`/`<PlayerModel>` widget now draws its window's booth, keyed on the reference's own frame names, and the booth mirrors take their yaw off `PlayerModel:SetRotation`'s own state, which is what the reference's `Model_Rotate*` write
- what the stock file calls that was not there: `MicroButtonTooltipText(text, action)` (all five tab hovers), the two scripts `CharacterFrameTabButtonTemplate` carries — without them the five tabs are DEAD, since the reference's `PaperDollFrame` is `enableMouse` with a hit inset the tabs sit inside — `GetGuildInfo` on a recognised-but-unresolvable token answering `(nil, nil, 0)` rather than raising (`0x4c9330`), and `UnitAttackBothHands` pushing four values not two (`0x518810` calls the hand accessor twice; the reference's own Lua destructures two and says `FIXME` about the off hand, so no amount of running the sheet could expose it) — both skill verbs clamp a debuff deeper than the skill to zero as `0x5188a7` and `0x519298` do
- a gate for the question that bites AFTER a swap: for every chain window, census the bare `name(` call sites across it and its `.lua`, subtract what those define, keep what the reference's own `_G` carries, and require every survivor non-nil in a VM with the whole interface up — `LootFrame.xml` had shipped load-clean and raised at line 85, and the stock character sheet would have raised on the first tab hover; the stock sheet is driven end to end over a level-60 body with a +105 buff, a −12 debuff and a resistance school whose debuff outweighs its buff, at the rendered strings

- 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
