Reported from play with a video: hovering a bag item draws the enhanced tooltip
— MasterTradeSkills' recipe block, AdvancedTradeSkillWindow2's Bags/Bank/Total
— for about nine frames of sixty, then the plate falls back to the bare one and
stays bare while the cursor sits still.
The loop is stock. `ContainerFrameItemButton_OnUpdate` re-enters `..._OnEnter`
every `TOOLTIP_UPDATE_TIME` (`ContainerFrame.lua:693` in his own patch-4.mpq;
pfUI's bag slots are `ContainerFrameItemButtonTemplate`, so they run it too),
and each turn is `SetOwner` + `SetBagItem` — a clear that wipes every line an
addon appended. What puts them back in the reference is a hide/show pair, and
we had neither half: the `SetOwner` binding hides the plate before it even reads
the owner argument (`0x531179` zeroes the content gate at `+0xd0`, `0x531183`
calls `[vtable+0x84]` = `0x530a60`, which is the `SetOwner(NULL)` core plus the
base hide `0x76ad50`), and the content `Set*` re-shows it through the tooltip's
own Show override (`0x530a80`). So every rebuild raises `OnHide` then `OnShow`.
Ours cleared in place, and the base show early-outs on an already-visible frame
(`0x76ae3b`), so the plate never hid and the `OnShow` never came.
That is why exactly two addons lost their lines while others kept theirs:
`LibItemTooltip-1.0`, the tooltip contract of MasterTradeSkills and
Gromissingcrafts, hangs entirely on a scratch child frame of `GameTooltip`
listening for `OnShow`, where pfUI's ItemID and sell-price lines hook the `Set*`
methods themselves and so re-run on every refresh.
The reference also clears twice per `SetOwner` (once inside the hide, once in
the core) and so fires `OnTooltipCleared` twice; that falls out of calling the
same hide, and the existing lifecycle test already allowed for it.
Addresses read off the player's own `WoW.exe` with objdump, not from memory.
The new test is the hover loop in miniature — three turns of `SetOwner` + a
content `Set*` under a `LibItemTooltip`-shaped child probe — and fails on the
old behaviour with one `OnShow` instead of three.

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 return what 1.12.1 pushes, in type and count:
- Flags are 1 or nil, never a Lua boolean. This covers `SetInventoryItem`/`SetBagItem` hasCooldown, `GetQuestLogLeaderBoard` finished, `GetContainerItemInfo` locked/readable, `AtTop`/`AtBottom`, `IsOwned` and `SetAlphaGradient`.
- Eleven verbs whose handlers end `xor eax,eax` return nothing. That covers `PickupAction`, `PlaceAction`, `PickupSpell`, `PickupInventoryItem`, `EquipCursorItem`, `SplitContainerItem`, `PickupMacro`, `DeleteMacro`, `ResetChatColors` and others.
- The miss tuples: `GetInboxHeaderInfo` gives 13 values (`0x4aeff0`), `GetInboxText` four nils, and `GetQuestLogLeaderBoard` three.
- `GetTrainerServiceDescription` is nil with no text (`0x4d9d44`). `GetZonePVPInfo`'s faction is `""`, not nil (`0x48d633`).
The boolean gates now probe every global and widget method.

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.

A hidden frame resolved and fired `OnSizeChanged` at once, a getter's resize fired at the drain, and `GetWidth`/`GetHeight` answered the rect over scale.
In 1.12.1 hiding sets the deferral flag `0x2` (`0x76ad50`); while set, an invalidate marks the frame pending and passes it to its dependents without a resolve (`0x768178`). Show resolves it first (`0x76ae58`), a getter resolves a pending one and fires `OnSizeChanged` inside the read (`0x7a1980`, `0x76b580`), and an anchor read pulls it for good (`0x7a2fc0`). `GetWidth` answers the set size when non-zero, else the rect span, unscaled (`0x7a1e93`, `0x7a1ee6`).
The deferral is modelled for frames and regions, getters fire inside the read, layout ids mint in handle order (deterministic), and the options window measures its scroll by its edges.
Tests bite on the parent; the verifier is green; stock quads match.

The solver took any node's recomputed rect whenever it resolved, because about 55 layout writes named a node without invalidating it. So a freed region stayed in its dependents' anchors, `SetTexture` re-resolved a failed texture, and a scroll child kept its authored anchors behind a per-solve override.
In 1.12.1 a node re-resolves only when invalidated or a target stores a new rect (`0x768d20`, slot 0 `0x768cf0`). `SetTexture` only dirties the draw (`0x770200`). A destructor frees its dependents' anchors to it (`0x768e20` → `0x767e70`, no invalidate). A scroll child is re-anchored to one TOPLEFT (`0x787100`).
Every write now invalidates exactly where the reference's does, and the solver's guess, the hold and the art latch are gone. The tooltip invalidates only on its relayout (`0x530640`).
Tests bite on the parent; the verifier is green; the stock UI's quads are byte-identical.

Anchors were a list: SetPoint re-applied an unchanged anchor, GetPoint counted in the order points were set and answered five nils past the last, and the cursor tooltip replaced every anchor each frame.
In 1.12.1 a frame holds one anchor per point. SetPoint (`0x767c70`) returns at `0x767d5e` with no store and no layout queue when that point's anchor has the same target and relative point and both offsets differ by under 2⁻²² layout units (`[0x8029d4]`). GetPoint (`0x7a2340`) walks the nine slots in point order and pushes nothing past the last (`0x7a240d`). The `ANCHOR_CURSOR` update sets BOTTOM alone (`0x530b20`).
Anchors are now nine slots, and SetPoint, GetPoint and the cursor update follow those rules.
Tests: an unchanged re-set and an in-threshold offset touch no layout, GetPoint order and indexes, a cursor tooltip keeps an addon's second point.

Any write that changed the layout graph's roster (a frame or region created, freed, re-owned or re-pointed) made the next resolve derive the whole graph: about 1.35 ms for one `CreateTexture` or `CreateFrame` on the stock UI, against 0.05 ms for a no-op.
A write now names the nodes it touched, and the resolve re-derives just those in the cached graph: a joining node is added with its edges, a leaving one is removed and its dependents seeded, a staying one has its edges and inputs re-synced. The full derivation stays the fallback. A region's owner and an art change are now layout inputs that name their region. Verify now also compares the graph itself.
A randomized test checks rects and graph against a scratch solve after every batch of creates, frees, re-owns and re-anchors. `CreateTexture` now costs 0.14 ms, `CreateFrame` 0.15 ms, a backdrop rebuild 0.22 ms.

GameTooltip's lifecycle took shortcuts the reference does not: a 0.5 s linear fade armed once, a fade cancelled by new lines, cursor-anchored plates that faded instead of hiding, a SetOwner that never hid first, the last anchor kept after a hide, and a health bar shown and hidden without its handlers.
In the reference, FadeOut re-arms a 2 s countdown that holds full alpha for half and then ramps, or hides at once at the cursor anchor. Only the owner core, the show and FadeOut write the fade. SetOwner runs the tooltip's own hide first. The un-own leaves ANCHOR_NONE. The clear hides the bar through its own transition.
Every builder, verb and world or minimap seat now goes through these functions; an uncached item hides and un-owns as in the reference.
Tests pin each of these.

The tooltip fade, a model's animation clock and its OnAnimFinished ran after the whole OnUpdate walk, and OnUpdateModel fired in creation order. A tooltip hidden through its parent also kept its owner and fade.
In the reference, the walk makes one call per frame: its OnUpdate, then its kind's engine update (a tooltip's fade step, a model pane's clock and completion test). OnUpdateModel fires later, from the paint, in draw order. A tooltip's own hide and show run from any caller, its parent's cascade included: the hide un-owns and clears it; the show needs an owner.
The walk now runs a per-kind update in each frame's slot, OnUpdateModel fires per stratum in draw order after the hover re-pick, and show and hide dispatch to a kind's override. CharacterModelBase's override is left for #890.
Tests pin each order and a parent's hide and show.

The Lua VM keeps no surface the 1.12.1 client lacks.
- **Removed:** the nine Era-only globals: `UnitAura`, `CancelUnitBuff`, `GetCursorInfo`, `GetInventoryItemID`, `GetPlayerFacing`, `GetTradePartnerName`, `IsGossipOptionCoded`, `UnitIsAFK`, `UnitIsDND`.
- **Hooks off Lua:** `GameTooltip:BenillaSetItemById` and `:BenillaGetTooltipOwner` are replaced by Rust-side calls. The uncalled `Benilla*` hooks are deleted.
- **Frame strata:** `SetFrameStrata` knows the reference's eight strata and raises its message for any other (`0x774450`).
- **`SetDrawLayer`** reads the layer name alone (`0x79a780`).
- **`Set<State>Texture`** reads a number as a path (`0x781b23`); there is no colour form.
- **`PlaySound`** names a kit and returns nothing (`0x4586d0`). `PlaySoundFile` returns one value (`0x458780`); benilla answers 1, a recorded deviation, since it plays after the call.
- **`OnClick`** sets only `arg1` (`0x779540`).
- **Quest getters:** `GetQuestItemInfo` and the quest-log reward and choice getters answer the reference's five values and its miss behaviour (`0x501f80`, `0x4e0b00`, `0x4e0cf0`).
- **`PickupContainerItem`** returns nothing (`0x4f9b30`).
- **Surface gates:** the bare VM's globals and every widget class's methods are held to `reference/1.12-globals.tsv` with one commented allowlist. A new gate on the full production load (core plus layer) allows beyond that only the layer's `Benilla`-prefixed globals.
Verified:
- A test per removal and per corrected form; a scripted undo of each fails its test.
- Each gate fails on a re-added name.
- `scripts/gates.sh` and `scripts/smoke.sh` are green.
- A live run showed the same warnings and 0 script errors before and after.
- In the 219-addon corpus, AckisRecipeList's bundled AceGUI-3.0 and Roid-Macros' Grid extension now behave as they do on 1.12.1.

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.

- Questie's arrow points at the turn-in, not 100 yards off: the map selection sits on your zone from the moment you enter the world, as the reference's does, so Astrolabe reads the right sheet (2192)
- an area the map has no row for sends the selection to your continent, not the world view; the reference fails its zone lookup and its continent lookup separately
- a tooltip shown with no lines hides itself instead of drawing an empty plate at the last hover's size, as Questie's tracker did on some quests; each fresh hover restores full alpha, so a plate an addon dimmed does not stay dim
- Questie's minimap button turns the quest icons back on: a nil handed to a colour setter stores zero and carries on, as the reference does, where benilla raised and jammed Questie's event queue from login (1973)
- MonkeyDev loads without three red dialogs at login: an unknown frame type in an addon's XML is logged and skipped, as the reference does; only a script creating a frame of a bad type still raises (2191)

- GetNumAddOns and the index form of every AddOn verb walk a title-sorted list that hides the Blizzard addons the server says to hide, and the character-select AddOns list is in title order (2175)
- SetPoint and SetAllPoints raise the reference's own errors for a frame name that does not exist or an omitted relative frame instead of quietly anchoring to the parent, and an explicit nil means the screen root (2176)
- a tooltip owned with ANCHOR_CURSOR follows the mouse, which pfUI's tooltip, xpbar and chat modules, pfQuest's browser and TipBuddy ask for; an omitted or unknown anchor is ANCHOR_LEFT (2176)

- six post-1.12 methods leave the widget surface (SetSize, SetShown, HasFocus, SetFormattedText and two tooltip verbs), so an addon reaching for a later client's API finds what a real 1.12 client gives it (2142, 2146)

- the action-bar cluster is the reference's own: `MainMenuBar.xml`, `ActionBarFrame.xml`, `MultiActionBars.xml` and `BonusActionBarFrame.xml` run off the player's own chain, and our `ActionBar.xml` (2047 lines), `MultiBars.xml` and `StanceBar.xml` are deleted — three, since the stock bonus-bar file declares the shapeshift bar too; one engine verb, `ChangeActionBarPage`, fires `ACTIONBAR_PAGE_CHANGED` and nothing else; one load blocker: stock `MultiActionBars.lua` writes the options window's table from its OnLoad, the reference's own load-order hack, so our options window moves to the reference's toc slot; and ten things the reference does that ours did not: an empty button is HIDDEN while showgrid is 0, the bonus overlay sits one pixel right of the main buttons, every slide takes one frame more than its time, and `ActionButton_ShowGrid` ghosts EVERY ring, occupied included (1938)
- a gift can be wrapped: right-clicking wrapping paper fell through to plain use and sent `CMSG_USE_ITEM`, so nothing happened — you could receive a gift and never give one; the wrap is a displayed-cursor MODE plus a stashed slot, never a payload, so `CursorHasItem()` stays false and every stock gate on it stays shut: right-click arms it, a left-click on a bag slot sends `CMSG_WRAP_ITEM`, and the client applies no eligibility test — the server's `ERR_CANT_WRAP_*` reasons are the error line (1934); a duration-limited item counts down: `SMSG_ITEM_TIME_UPDATE` parks a deadline and the tooltip's `ITEM_DURATION` line runs the enchant countdown's bucket ladder, so "Duration: 1 days" is what the reference renders; an update for an item we do not hold is DROPPED, no queue (1933); and a renamed crowd-control refusal names its mechanic — "Can't do that while stunned" — off `SpellMechanic.dbc` (1943)
- a creature paths on a boat: `SMSG_MONSTER_MOVE_TRANSPORT` carries the transport's guid and deck-local coordinates, and is the attach/detach edge; a deck sample lands on the rider or nowhere, never as a world write a few yards from the map origin; and "there is no terrain under a boat" turned out wrong: the ground probe admits GameObject meshes — a boat's `.wmo` is a GameObject, so the probe hits the deck (1936); `MSG_MOVE_TIME_SKIPPED` is read, not dropped — the reference adds the lag to the observed unit's last-wire stamp, so dropping it scheduled their next packet `lag` ms late, a hitch for every player who stalled zoning in near us; and our own settle hold reports once (1935); and the tradeskill tool order was backwards — focus FIRST, so every two-tool recipe had read "Blacksmith Hammer, Anvil" for the reference's "Anvil, Blacksmith Hammer"; the focus's `hasTool` is 1.0 in the reference too (1942)
- the crowd's second sitting, instruments first: the probe line carries the tail — cpu p95/p99 and the six worst frames — because a mean under budget hides the one frame in twenty over it (raid legs railed at 16.67 with p95 at 18–20 ms) and whether that frame was work or a wait is the first question about a stutter, and the visible meshes are counted by lane; then two cuts — a terrain tile furnishes as 4×4 cells of 4×4 chunks, one mesh, one entity, one draw per 133-yd cell instead of per 33-yd chunk (a city horizon is over a thousand chunks a frame, and a cell changes nothing a pixel can see; Stormwind 10.55 → 10.32 `cpu_ms`), and an authored point light is our own `WorldPointLight`, not Bevy's `PointLight`, which was only a data carrier while Bevy ran its whole light lane over every lamp, ~2 % of the alone frame; the sitting's record is 1945, and the code says so (1945)

- the bag windows are the reference's own `ContainerFrame.xml` running off the player's patch chain — decision 1751 makes the stock 1.12 UI off the install the end state and `assets/ui` scaffolding that retires file-by-file (86 files against the 99-file stock corpus, 72% of the 1128-function global surface already built) — via one ordered manifest, `benilla.toc`, where a bare name is a file we ship and an `Interface\FrameXML\` path is the player's own file; the windows on screen are `ContainerFrame1..12`, the bank's six copy-pasted popouts fold into them at ids 5..10, net −750 lines, and the swap forced real engine verbs into being rather than stubs (`SetBagPortaitTexture` with its id-0 no-texture arm, `GameTooltip:AppendText`, `SetButtonPulse`, and a `<Model>` whose file is the cooldown indicator materializing as the native sweep, which three corpus addons inherit)
- the 1.12 walk toggle lands: `TOGGLERUN` latches one bit with `ToggleRun`'s own silent refusal chain (dead, rooted, on a live server spline), and the walk animation was never missing at all — the flag reaches it through exactly one channel, the speed (`0x5fd100` picks Walk over Run on `speed > 2 × walkSpeed`); pinning it caught our remote extrapolator with the two min rungs backwards — `min(walk, run)` runs BEFORE the backward min, so a walking backpedaller moves at 2.5 yd/s where we would have played them the Run clip at 4.5 — and one shared `current_speed` now keeps the local controller and the extrapolator from ever disagreeing about it
- the instance and raid lockout messages exist — six packets that were dropped as unknown opcodes now land, four of them as the CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM lines the client composes itself, which is why no Lua handler ever surfaced them — plus `IsInInstance`, `ResetInstances`, and the unit popup's "Reset all instances" row behind the reference's own predicate; where the binary contradicts vmangos: the ownership flag means "any instance bind" but vmangos only ever names raid binds, so the row was dead for every character without a raid lockout — term 1 is now also satisfied by our own eyes, walking out of a party dungeon the server itself bound us to
- opening the world map showed 3D world at the sheet's margins: `BlackoutWorld` was parented to the very `UIParent` a fullscreen panel hides, and three more frames had crossed the same boundary — the shared dropdown lists (so the map's continent and zone pickers answered a click with nothing at all), the master-looter menu, and the screenshot confirmation, which could never appear during a cinematic; `frame_flag_gate` now checks the parent seat against the reference both ways a frame acquires one (the attribute, template-inherited included, and `<Frames>` nesting), and its first harvest took 30 divergences down to three accepted ones

- hovering the action bars re-derived the whole layout graph and hovering bags did not: `GameTooltip:SetOwner(owner, "ANCHOR_NONE")` dropped the tooltip's anchors through the conservative whole-graph derive, and with `UberTooltips` at its shipped default every action-bar button routes through that arm while a bag slot anchors `ANCHOR_RIGHT` and never does — the arm now retargets to the empty target set, and derive frames fall from 15.9 % of hovered frames to 0.2 %
- `gxMultisample` clamps to what the GPU actually offers: Apple GPUs stop at 4x, so a typed 8 was a wgpu validation panic on frame one — the clamp intersects the supported counts of every format the client multisamples into and steps the request down the way the reference's device-init retry loop does, with a warning that says so
- the Multisampling dropdown lands on the Graphics page with the device's own stops, built from the same enumeration that clamps a typed value on the reference's three bindings (`GetMultisampleFormats`, `GetCurrentMultisampleFormat`, `SetMultisampleFormat`) — a fixed Off/2x/4x/8x ladder would put a crash on the menu of every GPU that stops at 4
- capture hardening: a run whose `$WOW_WIN` the display clamped is refused in ~2 s instead of producing a wrong-sized shot to diff, a capture never reads the OS pointer (a cursor resting over the window arms a hover and a tooltip that a cursor an inch to the left does not), and the stall sampler writes into `benilla-config` instead of a hand-built `~/Library/Logs` path

- the glue scene widens only as far as its art goes: none of the seven login dioramas is drawn wider than about 3:2 — measured per texel by `benilla-extract glueextent`, which rasterises every batch into the camera's own tan-space, painting where the reference's alpha-key test passes — so the frame zooms down to the reference's own 16:9 opening (never tighter) and pillarboxes past the aspect the art cannot fill, instead of showing the clear colour past the backdrop's slanted edges; 4:3 stays byte-identical
- the character screen opens on whoever you last logged in as: the reference's `lastCharacterIndex` CVar, written at Enter World and only there — clicks and arrow keys never touch it, which is what makes the value mean "last logged in" rather than "last clicked" — restored on every character-list rebuild and clamped into range
- spam-hovering tooltips stops costing 2 ms: two write sites gave up naming their node and re-derived the whole layout graph (1,812 µs against the ledger's 44, on 919 of 1,262 resolves) — the wrap pin now touches the one region it wrote, and re-pointing a tooltip at the button under the cursor retargets the node's edges in place instead of throwing the cached graph away
- two corrections off the project's first GPU-bound report (a Steam Deck at 94% GPU busy on 8.4 W of a 15 W budget, the memory-stall signature): `farclip` ships the reference's registered 350 instead of the clamp's 777 — the value also sizes terrain residency, so 777 streamed, held and drew 4.8× the area — and BLP textures upload WoW's own DXT blocks verbatim the way the reference does, instead of decoding to RGBA8 at 8× the bytes of DXT1; the terrain slider still reaches 777, and the lanes that read texels on the CPU (terrain arrays, the character-skin compositor) stay decoded and say why

- the justify verbs had been written three times and drifted three ways; one implementation now serves the region, font-object and message-frame tables, and a cleared axis paints centre, as the client's draw path really does
- MessageFrame and ScrollingMessageFrame gain the ten-verb font block they were missing entirely, so font calls on message frames stop raising
- EnableKeyboard and IsKeyboardEnabled land as real Frame methods — eight addons were dying on their absence
- the harness's METHODS ranking states its own limits instead of reading as a build queue

- 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

- 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.
