A unit tooltip's title read the bare name where 1.12.1 decorates it.
The tooltip calls the name builder `0x609370` itself (`0x52a1ab`, or `0x52a1db` when there is no second part) with the decoration flag a literal `1`, the same call `UnitPVPName` makes, so no CVar gates it. With the flag on, a ranked player reads `UNIT_PVP_NAME` of the gendered `PVP_RANK_<rank>_<team>` and the name, a city protector's `PVP_MEDAL<n>` follows on a second line (`0x6093ef`), and a civilian kill (`0x612550`) reads the `PVP_RANK_CIVILIAN` prefix (`0x609461`).
The title now runs the builder `UnitPVPName` already uses. The test covers rank, gender, medal, civilian, an unranked player and a creature; an on-demand `ui-tooltip-rank` capture shows a ranked player's tooltip.

- capture: a name-rank scenario shoots a ranked player's overhead name line
- Overhead names carry the player's PvP title under UnitNamePlayerPVPTitle, as 1.12.1 does (#550)
- review: bundle the rank-title inputs; doc the snapshot and rank-19 limits
- nameplates: read rank strings per VM; test the composed name line
- pvp: correct the rank-title docs; convert the credit team without a cast
- Fix the titles row comment; name-rank reuses WOLF_POS, cites :900
- rank strings: the honor feed reads them off the VM; nameplates only reads the value

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.

Until now this repo was an export of a private tree, pushed as squashed snapshots. From here on
it is the working tree itself, and the private repo is archived.
The root holds AGENTS.md and the Rust and GitHub files only. Everything an agent needs to orient
is in docs/: METHOD.md (the rules and how the project is built, 123 lines, project method only),
MAP.md (generated from the code at every land) and CONTRIBUTING.md (what gets in and how a
change is judged). One skill, `probe`, holds the procedure for running the client unattended
against the local server.
Brought over because the project needs it: reference/ (the 1.12 name catalogues 34 source
files read; the export failed its own tests without them), the gate chain and the pool
(scripts/), the hooks that enforce the install rule and the worktree rule, the full .gitignore,
the `cargo play` alias, and the original wording of eleven source files the export had reworded.
Left out: the decision records (archived with the private repo), the export tooling, the
operator's Discord and triage loop, the lab-laptop scripts and the instruments nothing
references, which live outside the repo now. What read the records is gone from the tooling:
no corpus lint, no records index, no `reserve` verb, no number-collision check.
Three hooks are gone: fmt-at-commit and the file-size nudge were redundant with the gates, and
the assets/ui guard is now a test (`assets_ui_does_not_grow`) that fails for everyone, not only
for a Claude Code session. The remaining pool hooks stand down on a machine without a pool.

- right-clicking a nameplate acts again: both buttons read the press pick, as the reference picks once on the down edge and never re-picks on release (2230)
- the honor tab's Highest Rank and title name the rank: a rank title's team digit is the race, not the faction group, so a GM-flagged character keeps its rank (2227)
- a raid's party feed watches only its members' descriptors, and the empty 2D opaque pass is skipped: ~0.7 ms a frame in a crowd (2225)

- a nameplate's name and level stop popping a pixel every other step as the plate slides, and the whole plate no longer jumps 19 px to the top of the screen on a rounding tie; the chat bubble takes the same fix (2172)
- creatures and other players stop sinking through the ground while the world is still streaming in, where a Stormwind patroller had been 31 yd under its street: a body our world cannot yet answer for holds the server's pose (2174)
- select and the string metatable are gone, as in 1.12's Lua 5.0: pfUI's heal prediction parses its messages with the right format, BuffCheck2's own select wins its fallback, and a method call on a string raises the reference's own error (2171)
- the camera's water collision comes back out for now: with the pivot a hair under the plane, a surface swimmer's camera snapped in and out against the waterline, so the boom ignores water again (2173)

- druids get the shift cloud back in both directions, by the reference's own mechanism: every shapeshift aura add *or* remove arms a one-slot pending-morph latch that the model-swap rebuild drains and replays — which is why shifting out (a client-side cancel the server sends no visual for) puffs at all, and why a GM morph or a revive correctly shows nothing; the first fix that merely let one-shot effects survive the swap's teardown produced the right pixels for the wrong reason and is superseded
- the honor system lands whole: the Honor tab on the character window, the honor page on inspect, and thirteen missing Lua bindings over a real wire model — session/yesterday/this-week/last-week kills, lifetime HKs and DKs, rank progress and badge art
- the load-bearing find: your current rank and your highest-ever rank are two separately-streamed fields, and the one we already had was the wrong one for anyone who ever de-ranked; a binary cross-check corrected five display details after the build, down to the rank title never being gendered
