gromandClaude Opus 5 ada08720bb ui+docs: the GUID token's real spelling, 40-yard interact, and the whole patch map
Working down the 29 `.tdata` hooks from the realm's patched `WoW.exe`.
Most turned out to be already ported; two were wrong here, and one of
those was wrong in a way that mattered.

**The GUID token was the wrong string.** `unit::guid_token` wrote 16
lowercase hex digits and no prefix. The realm writes `0x` + 16 upper-case
digits: its formatter at `0xd06500` — which `UnitExists`'s second return
goes through — lays down `0x30 0x78` then sixteen nibbles each `+0x37`
above 9, and its parser at `0xd06650` demands the `0x` and takes upper
case only. grom's own addons agree from the other end: BigWigs decides a
string is a GUID with `string.sub(guidOrName, 1, 2) == "0x"`
(`MageTools.lua:963`), and AI_VoiceOver reads fields from position 3 and
mints its own with `format("0x%04X%06X%06X", …)`.

Same number, wrong string, and wrong where it mattered most:
`UNIT_CASTEVENT` and the aura events carry these tokens, so every such
test read our GUIDs as unit *names* and every `sub(3, …)` field read came
out two characters off. Now written the realm's way; both spellings and
either case are accepted on the way in, since refusing one buys nothing.
Pinned literally rather than by round trip — a round trip held fine
through the whole bug.

**`CheckInteractDistance` type 4 is 40 yards, not 30.** `0x48bafd` jumps
to `0xd0686c`, which tests the type against 4 and compares against the
float the section carries at `0xd06868`: `1600.0`, squared thresholds.
Stock 1.12's `900.0` is still what the other three types use.

`docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md` now carries all 39 hook sites of both sections
with a status each: 10 in `.octoql` (one feature, the quest log, ported),
and 29 in `.tdata` — the aura ids, the master looter, `UnitExists`'s
GUID, the char-create mask and `CHAT_MSG_HARDCORE` already done; the two
challenge-mode functions needing nothing, because the realm's own
`ChallengeList.lua` defines them in Lua for exactly our case; four read
but unported with the reason (unnamed struct fields, no consumer in the
corpus); and three that cannot apply to a client that loads no DLLs.

Also `scripts/dll-surface.py`, which asks the injected DLLs the same
question. Their export tables are one `DllMain` each, but a DLL that
registers a Lua function must point at the name: collecting NUL-delimited
identifier strings the image holds a pointer to cuts `ClassicAPI.dll`
from 2872 CamelCase candidates to 706, and subtracting the 1.12 census,
Lua's own names and benilla's real surface leaves a candidate list the
addon corpus can rank. It is a list to read, not a specification —
statically linked libraries contribute their own strings, and
`UnitXP_SP3.dll` yields nothing. It found 38 names in `nampower.dll` that
grom's addons call and this file did not know about; they are written
down rather than guessed at.

269 data-gated failures, identical to the baseline, all nine gates green.

gromandClaude Opus 5 ce8992bc3e Draw flight masters: C_TaxiMap.GetTaxiNodesForMap over TaxiNodes.dbc
grom: "can't see flight master location marks, even tho I have them on."

Nothing was broken — the layer was silently empty. pfQuest-octo has deleted its
shipped pfDB.meta.flight table in favour of this call (db/meta.lua:181 is a stub
whose comment says the data "always comes live from the client (ClassicAPI)"),
and SearchFlightNodes opens with

    if not (C_TaxiMap and C_TaxiMap.GetTaxiNodesForMap) then return maps end

so with the namespace absent the option stays ticked, no error is raised, and no
icon is ever drawn. Same silent-by-construction shape as C_Map.GetAreas, same
consumer.

The contract is half read off the bundled ClassicAPI.dll's string pool
(C_TaxiMap, GetTaxiNodesForMap, nodeID, faction, reachable, state and the
FlightPathFaction/FlightPathState enum names) and half off the caller: the
areaID/mapX/mapY triple is not separately visible there, since the pool holds
one copy of each string and C_Map.GetAreaTriggerInfo already uses all three, so
for those SearchFlightNodes itself is the authority. It reads six fields, gates
on `node.areaID and node.mapX and node.mapY`, and feeds the pair into
pfMap:AddNode as meta.x/meta.y, which UpdateNodes divides by 100 — so they are
percentages of the zone rect. Both files say which half is which.

Faction comes from the two MountCreatureID columns, the reference's own gate
(0x4a2650 asks for the mount of the player's half): one column filled is that
faction, both is neutral, and neither means the row is not a flight master at
all — on this install those are exactly the eight Transport/Ferry/zeppelin
endpoints, and passing them on would put "Flight Master" pins on the Menethil
docks.

Attributing a node to a zone needed the file's own names. Geometry over
WorldMapArea boxes proposes — these are axis-aligned boxes around irregular
zones, so a node near a border sits inside two or three of them — but no purely
geometric rule works: "smallest box" misfiled a dozen of ~70 rows (Crossroads
under Mulgore, Aerie Peak under Alterac Mountains), and "most central box",
much better and what zones_at now sorts by, still loses Talonbranch Glade to
Darkshore by about one percent of inset. TaxiNodes.dbc names its rows
"<place>, <zone>" and a city row leads with the city, which is itself a zone, so
trying each comma-separated part against the candidates gets Ironforge over Dun
Morogh *and* Felwood over Darkshore from one rule. zones_at also reaches the
instance-map list, so Alterac Valley's two nodes place on the battleground map
instead of nowhere.

Seeded before the interface loads, after the map catalog it reads the rects
from. That deadline is tighter than file scope: pfQuest replays its saved
tracking selections once on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD and then unregisters every
event (database.lua:131-151), so a push one frame later is a push after the only
read.

Verified against the real addon offline, not just by unit test:
SearchFlightNodes now adds 69 nodes through the probe harness. Three tests pin
the rule against the DBC itself — the capitals and the border nodes by hand, and
every named row held to the zone its own name claims, which is the test that
rejected both earlier geometric rules. It also pins the four rows that name no
zone, three of which are this realm's own additions (Northshire Abbey and two
Darkshore canoe routes), so the next custom node shows up as a failing
assertion rather than a pin in the wrong zone.

gromandClaude Opus 5 8e0d1bae8d lua: a numeral ends where its digits do, so 1then is two tokens
`AdvancedTradeSkillWindow2.lua:3878` is `if Item.ReplaceWords == 1then`, with no space, and it
compiles on the reference. Its `read_numeral` (`0x6ffee0`) is 5.0's: digits, at most one `.` and its
digits, then — given an `e`/`E` — the marker, an optional sign (the `0x2b`/`0x2d` test at `0x6fff04`,
reached with the marker already saved) and its own digit loop. The only character-class test in the
whole routine is the ctype digit mask at `0x6fff47`; past it the buffer is terminated and handed to
`luaO_str2d` (`0x6f5900`). 5.1 instead ends with
`while (isalnum(ls->current) || ls->current == '_') save_and_next(ls);`, which swallowed `1then`
into the numeral and failed it — so we raised `malformed number` and lost a 4000-line file and every
global it defines, and its own XML then raised four more times calling them. The addon was dead.

The ninth hunk of the `lua-src` fork, which is where a grammar difference belongs: `BENILLA.md` is
explicit that rewriting the chunk source means parsing Lua with a regex. A replacement, not a
deletion — 5.1 had no exponent-digit loop of its own, so deleting the slurp alone would have cost
`1e2`, which is what the new test caught.

The same boundary is the deliberate half: 1.12 has **no hex literals**. The digit loop stops at the
`x`, so the reference reads `0xFF` as `0` and the name `xFF` and cannot parse the statement around
it. A comment- and string-stripping scan of the installed corpus finds hex in code in exactly two
files, `pfQuest/toolbox/pngLua/deflate.lua` and `numberlua.lua`, which no `.toc` row reaches — zero
loaded sites, the same standard the fork's three other deletions were held to. Our own shipped Lua
and his saved variables have none either. Two of our own test chunks did, and are now decimal:
no chunk of benilla's Lua may use a construct the client's parser rejects.

Verified: the whole chain still loads with no failure, the `WOW_DATA` failure set is unchanged, and
`AdvancedTradeSkillWindow2` now publishes `ATSW_OnLoad` and `ATSWTypeColor`.

gromandClaude Opus 5 0515274afc tests: four stale expectations this window's own commits left behind
Four benilla-ui tests were red and had been since the commits that changed what
they pin. They were missed because the round's gate was run as `cargo test -p
benilla-app -p benilla-ui` through a grep that only showed benilla-app's results;
scripts/check.sh is the gate that scopes this correctly.

- SetRaidTarget's third argument became a flag rather than the literal word
  "local" (7098d642), so the test asserting the word is the only form now
  states the contract it replaced: any truthy value is the local mark, which is
  what SoloRaidTargetIcons passes.
- GetStringHeight is installed deliberately (75f04b4f), so the regions surface
  check that asserted its absence had to flip.
- The LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES pair (0a907955) was published only once class data
  was fed, leaving the globals absent on a bare VM — which the
  allowed-beyond-1.12 list said we exposed and the creature_info test asserted
  we did not, while its own comment described the behaviour we wanted. Both
  tables are now seeded empty at install, as ClassicAPI publishes them at load:
  tInvert(nil) raises where tInvert({}) is an empty map, and pfUI inverts one in
  its own file scope.
- The AceGUI label test's Lua used a one-argument SetPoint, which 1.12 correctly
  raises Usage: on (LUA_TNONE is not LUA_TNIL — script/tests/anchors.rs pins it,
  and the 1.12 AceGUI backport had every one-argument call rewritten for exactly
  that reason).

And a correction in docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md that the last of those turned up:
GetStringHeight was credited with the empty VoiceOver options, on the strength of
AceGUIWidget-Label.lua's call site and a probe showing every Label at 624x1.
Both were wrong. AI_VoiceOver ships four copies of AceGUI and its TOC loads
1.12\embeds.xml — and the 1.12 tree reads label:GetHeight(), never
GetStringHeight. The 624x1 was the harness's own missing text measurer, the trap
its notes already warn about. The method stays as ClassicAPI parity surface with
the claim corrected; the real cause of that symptom is the scroll-child anchor,
fixed in 75432f7d. The lesson, written into the row: an addon shipping several
library copies has to be read through its own TOC chain before any call site in
it is evidence.

gromandClaude Opus 5 0a90795555 compat: publish LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE/_FEMALE, the table tInvert exists to flip
Half this pair was already here. `ClassInfo::class_file`'s own doc says the token is what
FrameXML keys `RAID_CLASS_COLORS` and `LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE` on, and
`compat/classic_api/lua_ext.rs`'s `tInvert` names pfUI's `pfUI.lua:227` as the reason it exists —
the line that inverts exactly this table. The table itself was never published, so that line
inverted `nil`.

Measured against the live chain: `pfUI.env.L["class"]` holds **0 entries**, and
`L["class"]["Warrior"]` is nil. Every lookup through it then finds no class and skips, silently,
because the consumer tests `if class then` — so the guild roster lost its name colours and class
icons (`modules/socialmod.lua:18`), the friends list lost the same, and `modules/panel.lua:359`
fell back to white. Chat stayed coloured throughout, which is what made it look like a pfUI
setting rather than a missing global.

Published from the class table the app already feeds for `C_CreatureInfo.GetClassInfo`, at that
same feed, so there is one source for the names and no second reader of the DBC. Both tables
carry the same string: 1.12's `ChrClasses.dbc` has one name column, so the gendered pair later
clients ship cannot be derived from this data — a copy is what it honestly supports, and omitting
`_FEMALE` would hand a caller nil where its sibling answers. A run that never feeds the table
leaves both absent rather than empty.

gromandClaude Opus 5 751cac062b compat: C_Spell.GetSpellEffectMechanics, the per-effect sibling
`SuperCleveRoidMacros/ClassicAPI.lua:267` calls it unguarded, so its absence was a raise a
session. It is not a second spelling of `GetSpellMechanicByID`, which this tree already answers:
that one reads `Spell.dbc`'s spell-level `Mechanic`, and vanilla stores some mechanics on an
*effect* instead. The consumer's own comment names the case — Rake's bleed is effect-level, so
the spell-level column says 0 while this answers `{0, 15, 0}` — and a macro conditional asking
whether its target is bleeding gets the wrong answer from the spell-level field alone.

`SpellDisplay::effect_mechanic` was already parsed for the cast-immunity scan, so this is a field
on the probe payload and a reader, not a new lookup. The three-way answer is its sibling's, for
the sibling's reason: nothing at all for an id no spell owns, three zeros for a real spell that
carries no mechanic anywhere, the ids otherwise — collapsing those two would reclassify crowd
control as ordinary damage, which is the hand-kept table this function exists to replace.

gromandClaude Opus 5 75f04b4f28 compat: FontString:GetStringHeight, which AceGUI calls unguarded
1.12 registers no `GetStringHeight` (`script/button.rs`: `0x782390` reads the label's height
instead) and ClassicAPI backports it, so `compat/classic_api/frame.rs` is its home. That file had
it on its own not-built list under "needs per-line layout facts the host measurer is not asked for
today" — true of `GetNumLines` and `GetWrappedWidth`, and not of this one: the whole-string height
is the other half of the number `GetStringWidth` already reads. `measure::current_measure` now owns
the staleness rule for both, so the two cannot disagree about when a measure has gone stale, and a
changed string still reads 0 rather than the previous string's height.

It is not cosmetic. AceGUI-3.0 calls it **unguarded** — `AceGUIWidget-Label.lua:54` is
`height = label:GetStringHeight()` and `AceGUIWidget-CheckBox.lua:90` is
`self:SetHeight(28 + self.desc:GetStringHeight())` — so every Ace options panel on this install
drew its labels and checkbox descriptions at the library's own "avoid zero-height labels" fallback
of one pixel: a window with all of its prose invisible. `addon_harness --probe AI_VoiceOver` builds
that panel's full 32-widget tree with zero errors and every `Label` at `624x1`, which is what
"can't see the actual options in VoiceOver" was.

gromandClaude Opus 5 81d96af35d Everwood: the HD/OctoWoW line of benilla, imported onto upstream
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.
