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.

Fork policy (docs/METHOD.md): upstream structure wins; local-unique work
re-applied on top. This commit is the upstream half of the reconciliation.
Upstream is the same program at a rewritten history (884dff77 == 4e0e89cb
tree), so the merge base was replaced to keep a real three-way diff. The
large conflicts are upstream moving first: the UI manifest (benilla.toc ->
the binary LAYER_MANIFEST/layer.toc split), the CVar table (cvars.rs ->
cvars/{mod,table}.rs, +24 video rows), the editbox flush model, the
host-side GetTime, the Options* -> BenillaOptions* rename, expanded
ui_unit.rs, and a rebuilt volumetric_light.rs.
Local-unique pieces re-instated on the upstream structure:
- OptionsFrame.xml: the 1.12 OptionsFrameSliders table restored under the
Benilla rename, with the TurtleWoW deviation note (patch-4 replaces
OptionsFrame.lua).
- layer.toc: CharacterFrameAdapters.xml (the sixth TurtleWoW character tab).
- ui script: wipe/sizeof, BenillaGetMerchantItemStats, and the attach/mount
teardown re-walk all survive.
- game_plugins.rs keeps UPDATE_ACTIONABLE_CEILING=5_509 (re-measure pending).
The LFT/Turtle_TransmogUI rows benilla.toc named off the player's install
now come from the chain's own FrameXML.toc via the new core loader.
A doodad standing on its own baked terrain shadow (Lakeshire gryphon roosts, most forest
trees) was dimmed twice by day: by the MCSH 0.5 sun band AND by the realtime shadow map,
on ground that no longer shows the bake. wow_model.wgsl and static_gx.wgsl now use
terrain.wgsl's own gate (sh_c16.w, weighted by the sun lane so the bake returns at dusk).
Lane off = reference bits. Capture scenarios lakeshire-statue*/lakeshire-gryphons*,
WOW_CAPTURE_EYE/LOOK/MINUTE re-aim overrides.
Apply the formatter baseline needed by the generated CI gate.
Verified the full treefmt check with vendored sources and generated MAP.md excluded. Parsed formatted Cargo manifests and compared their values with HEAD; all are identical.
Volumetric light: the shadow rig's directional light (sun by day, moon at
night) is ray-marched through its cascades at half resolution (16 Medium /
32 High jittered samples from 0.35 yd, height-thinned air, HG g 0.6), then a
depth-aware blur and upsample composite it over the fog pass. Density and
colour follow the zone fog; no shafts in WMO interiors. The volumetric fog
pass retires its own midpoint shafts while this is on. Cvars volumetricLight
0/1/2 and volumetricLightStrength, env WOW_VOLLIGHT; Graphics Preset Medium 1,
High/Ultra 2.
Moonlight: a cool, dim directional term from the visible moon added to the
stock night on terrain, models, WMO exteriors and doodads, shadowed by the
moon's map (shadow_hook::realtime_shadow_moonlit .z), ramping with the moon's
elevation and handing back to the sun at dawn. MonkeyFrame grows one row
(per-frame blob 8800 B). Cvar moonLight 0..2 (0 = the reference night).
Advanced Graphics rows (EN + RU), capture scenarios vol-*, docs.

The owner's "wind does not work" was the motion being too small to see (WXL's
0.06 yd grass tips on a 6 s wave, 0.1 yd tree crowns). Retuned at the 9 yd/s
base speed:
- grass: tips about +-0.2-0.3 yd, 2.5 s main wave (182 cycles/wrap), 1.1 s
cross flutter (410); 55 yd gust bands roll downwind (68), swelling the sway
to 1.2x and lulling it to 0.55x; a bent tip dips (no stretched blades).
Parting around units unchanged.
- trees/bushes: 4 s crown sway (114), 5.5 s side wave (82), 0.8 s leaf
flutter (569); crown weight grows with height (0.43x at 1.5 yd, 1x at 6 yd,
1.3x cap), so canopies sway about +-0.3 yd while bushes nod and bases stay
planted.
- new cvar foliageWindStrength 0.25..3 (default 1, not on the preset ladder):
Advanced Graphics slider under Foliage Wind (EN+RU label/tooltip), greyed
while Foliage Wind is Off; carried in sway_strength, so the parting ignores
it; a storm adds up to +60 % sway.

lamp_terrain_occlusion_scan takes an optional light height and ray clearance, counts blocked
samples within 15 yd, prints the ground height, and ranks by the near count. Used to pick the
leftovers B1 scenes (Elwynn campfires, lampposts, bridge lamp): the gather and the terrain
receiver work, the terrain-blocked ground is grazing or at the rim, so the lit image is unchanged.
LIGHTING.md says so.

The dawn/weather density curve read WorldTime, the server clock, which stays at its noon default
offline, so a manual or capture time never got the dawn mist. It now reads the rendered minute
through grading's rendered_minute (the same rule as ac9a1ef3). Baselines move: volfog-dawn is
mistier (MAE 8.5), volfog-night is unchanged (0.07).

Found by the first runtime capture of the grade: a capture has no avatar, so
CurrentArea stayed None and no zone was ever graded; and the day/night weight
read WorldTime (the server clock, noon offline), so a manual/capture night
graded with the day LUT. Adds CaptureCameraArea (area under the camera, only
under WOW_CAPTURE, never read by the area authority) and grades by the
rendered GameClock minute. LIGHTING.md notes the preset/capture changes.

STAGE_AO flags a two-sided depth spike (the smaller one-sided step two pixels out, capped by the
second difference: ~0 on planes, grazing planes, silhouettes and contact creases) and stores the
smoothness in alpha. STAGE_BLUR turns the spike density of its 4x4 window into a foliage mask,
widens the depth tolerance there (up to 11x) and scales the occlusion by 1 - 0.4 * mask. Smooth
windows are unchanged. WOW_AO_DEBUG=5 shows the mask. LIGHTING.md documents this and the two
earlier followups fixes.

Advanced Graphics gains a Graphics Preset row (cvar graphicsQuality:
Classic / Low / Medium / High / Ultra / Custom) and a Render Distance slider
on farclip (177..1497, same cvar as Graphics' Terrain Distance). The ladder is
GRAPHICS_PRESETS in cvars.rs, one line per governed row with a column per
rung; lightingQuality is itself a row, so the lighting ladder's members follow
it. The lighting ladder gains an Ultra rung (4096 sun map, 16/8 torch maps,
High water, High volumetric fog). The label is re-derived every frame beside
lightingQuality, so editing a governed row shows Custom.
A player whose config.toml names no graphicsQuality is seeded to High at
startup over the rows the file does not carry; captures, tests and malformed
files never seed, and the rows keep their per-lane registered defaults. The
page's Defaults lands on High too. ambientOcclusion, zoneSkyboxes and lampFog
are commented one-line TODO rows until their cvars land.
Verified: cargo test -p benilla-app --lib -- options cvars preset (136
passed, incl. 7 new preset tests); full benilla-app lib: 3722 passed, 5
pre-existing failures unrelated to this change (spell envelope float, schedule
ambiguity ceiling, pipe_warm fog/shaft/shadow lanes, dev-plane cfg). The
options UI tests need WoW data and were skipped; no captures (no install in
the cloud). Built on Linux only.

The wave phase was k*speed(t)*t (its rate grows with session age: ~33 Hz noise
after 10 min) and its spatial term rotated about the world origin with the veer
(hundreds of rad/s at 9k yd from the first second). Now update_wind integrates
travel += speed*dt in f64 and publishes it wrapped at 4096 yd (wind_b.x); every
wave rate is a whole number of cycles per wrap, so the wrap is seamless. The
spatial term uses the fixed profile heading (wind_a.z); the veer and gust turn
only the bend. Capture offset WOW_CAPTURE_WIND_T for late-session shots.
