- 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 colour picker can pick a colour: the hue disc and the value strip are engine-generated pixels (no BLP in the chain is a wheel), reproduced from the reference's own lattice — a hard-cut circle at a literal V = 1.0, the brightness marker moving over a disc that never dims
- chat windows move and resize once unlocked (Lock/Unlock Window on the tab menu; the reference's own 296×75 to 608×400 bounds), the border textures doubling as the grips, and the placement is remembered per character in benilla-config/layout; both windows ship locked, as 1.12's reset leaves them
- the minimap ping is back and pinned: one world point the engine draws, the click converted in the right unit (the old path was ~27% off at 1080p), and no 10-yard auto-clear — that was the gossip marker's rule, and walking to your own ping was deleting it
- the Lightwell can be clicked: a billboard card is a world root with no parent hop, so the hit resolved to nothing and the whole shaft published a null mouseover; casting a hunter shot chains Auto Shot through `Spell.dbc`'s modalNextSpell column (the mechanism nobody had read — the next snapshot carries the seam that makes it fire in play); tradeskill list rows stop tooltipping (that hover was ours, not Blizzard's), and OnMouseUp goes to the frame that took the press

- right-click a chat tab for its menu: background colour and alpha through the colour picker, font size — three of GetChatWindowInfo's nine values are real state now, persisted per character in benilla-config/chat, and the hover fade interpolates from the window's own stored alpha as the reference's guard does (the default look is unchanged, pinned)
- the Social page becomes the Chat page 1.12 has, in the reference's anchor order: Remove Chat Hover Delay and Detailed Loot Information join, and `showLootSpam` off collapses the roll chatter to the winner line with its number; Guild Member Alert is registered at the reference's default, off
- two guild-line defects found while settling that CVar: the sign-on line's fourth conjunct is a friends-list test (an ignored guildmate was silenced, a guildmate who is also a friend announced twice), and vmangos broadcasts your own sign-on, which benilla announced to you at every login
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the world map's landmarks: city icons and the Eastern Plaguelands towers, from AreaPOI.dbc through the reference's own three gates (level flags, exploration, world state) — the tower rows are one per (tower, owner, state), so the server flipping a world state swaps which icon exists; and the always-up PvP readout ("Towers Controlled: n") over a new WorldStateUI.dbc loader, the init clearing the table on a zone change as the client does
- the character-select scene holds its authored 4:3 view box: the diagonal-FOV relation was fed the display's aspect, so every extra pixel of width came out of height (1.55× zoom at 21:9, head and feet gone) — now width grows and height never shrinks; the reference does the same and is wrong on the same panel
- a trail particle is stored in world space and drawn raw: Sprint's trail was welded to the chest bone (turn and it swings, run and it wobbles) because the trail was faked by subtracting translation inside a bone-local store; the correction machinery deleted itself, gravity is plain world down, and the emitters' live attach frame is retired
- the spellbook can shrink: `SMSG_REMOVED_SPELL` had no handler, so a talent wipe took the points back and left every rank drawn; and the chat dock's hover driver rides a frame the dock cannot hide, so selecting the Combat Log no longer freezes the tab alphas

- party members appear on the world map at their position and hovering names them — the party wire has carried each member's zone and coordinates since the group arc; the blip and the minimap dot read one shared position so they can never disagree, and the member's zone picks which continent the position belongs to
- the player's own frame wears the leader crown and the master-looter icon, with the reference's own asymmetry (the crown asks IsPartyLeader, the member frames compare a leader index)
- a party member outside your local area gets the generic race/sex portrait instead of an empty circle — their race and sex ride the name query, and nothing had asked for a member we never see; the roster now warms that cache, which also fills the raid grid's class column
- right-clicking a member who is nowhere near grays Trade, Inspect, Duel and Follow: the reference's bindings answer nil for a unit the object manager does not hold (carved this session), where ours defaulted "absent = in range" for exactly the farthest member; and the group-invite popup's background is measured faithful — the plate draws at the BLP's own 60% alpha
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the mix is bounded the way the reference's is: FMOD gave 1.12 exactly twelve software channels and nothing else limits a priest buffing five people — ported as a 12-voice ceiling (a probe capture read 42 live voices at +13 dBFS, the limiter pumping 13 dB to hold it), plus same-kit copies started in one frame capped at two, since five sample-aligned Fortitudes are one sound +14 dB; `$WOW_SOUND_PROBE` records the mix before and after the limiter with a timeline, F9 stamps the moment
- the raid tab draws its window art again — its four corner textures were written with single backslashes, which Lua drops silently, and a sweep now reads every archive path a shipped Lua chunk names; a drag whose release never arrives (pointer left the window, a second press) ends instead of gluing the frame to the cursor for the rest of the session, and `WOW_PROBE_DRAG` drives any UI drag headlessly in a live client
- the item tooltip fits its set bonuses again: an emptied line kept its last measured height forever (a pooled cell with no way to say "empty"), and the two blank rows above the set block are the reference's own literal (a space and a newline) — a whole row each, not the empty string
- an equipped BoE or BoP piece reads Soulbound: the bind line reads the item's own flags through the client's bound predicate instead of the template's bonding, one predicate shared with the enchant cursor's bind confirm
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the social window's fourth tab, Raid: the eight-subgroup grid over the roster, drag a member between subgroups, Convert To Raid, promote / demote assistant, uninvite, Ready Check with its popup, and the Raid Info flyout on the new `CMSG_REQUEST_RAID_INFO` / `SMSG_RAID_INSTANCE_INFO` wire (byte-golden against vmangos, an empty answer decoding as an empty list); `raid1`..`raid40` unit tokens, and `/partytest raid` stages a roster for a solo look
- an imbue pressed with an empty weapon hand says "Your weapon hand is empty" instead of raising a cursor — the attribute bit has two readers in the reference and the second is the error (corrects the day's first cut)
- sounds route onto the reference's own voice buses with its per-bus caps (the 0x87ce60 table, pinned as bytes): weapon impacts and clangs share four voices, footsteps six, the attacker's grunt one, the victim's injury two — so a pack swinging together makes about a dozen voices where it made dozens
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the auction house end to end: right-clicking an auctioneer opens Browse/Bids/Auctions on the server's reply — search, the category tree from your own DBCs, the reference's 50-a-page pager, multi-key sorting (directions corrected at the bytes), bid/buyout, the sell slot with deposit and duration, cancel with its fee popup; prices sit on the reference's own money-frame kit in lined-up columns, the twenty auction messages split refusals-red / outcomes-to-chat, and a won or sold auction reads as a proper mail receipt — the window's Lua re-worded in our own terms after the overlap ratchet caught the first cut leaning on the reference's text
- the PvP honor system whole: the Honor tab and the inspect page over a real wire model, with current rank and highest-ever rank correctly two different fields
- a day of reported fixes: WASD survives a /logout re-entry, addon settings save on a window close and Cmd+Q (exactly once — a mac close could fire the tail twice), clams open again, random-enchant items name themselves on every surface, the loot window's rows hold their seats with legible counts, idle players stop sinking through building floors, the shooter re-pulls between Auto Shots, portraits loosen ~19% to the client's own aspect-1.0 matrix, and big creatures thump the camera off the CameraShakes table
- character select clicks like 1.12 — captions whiten on hover, buttons fire on release, Humans face straight ahead off the stage bone's real yaw, the facing is per-character, and hunter/warlock pets stand beside you at their family-ramp size with their own emitters (the imp's flames), the Voidwalker's sequence-hidden shackles culled
- the smaller player-facing set: nameplate on/off rows in Options with the CanAttack category gate (emissaries stop plating), the bonus bar slides up with igBonusBarOpen, the camera's framing height glides on a shapeshift, the open letter evicts the centre seat, the far-band fog hull stops printing a pale horizon stripe at low view distance, the guide arrow is gold with per-source rim art, error text fades through its shadow too, and /convertraid converts the party
- README: the auction house and PvP honor move out of "not built yet"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the Terrain Distance slider is back on Options → Graphics, in its 1.12 seat and range (177–777, live, no Apply) — and it now drives how much world is resident, not just how far you see: the streamer derives its resident and prefetch windows from farclip in the reference's own chunk units, pulling the ring in as you drag left and streaming it back one tile per frame as you drag right; the `WOW_TILE_RADIUS` env var, the debug panel's farclip slider and a dressed-up fog constant all retire into it
- ask a city guard for directions and the destination lands on your maps: `SMSG_GOSSIP_POI` becomes a red flag drawn through the same landmark path as towns and inns — an icon in place when near, competing for a rim arrow when off the edge — and the world map's landmark enumeration answers now, so the flag renders there too and names itself on hover
- the flag is one slot (new directions replace the last), drops itself within 10 yards of the destination, expires after the reference's own 480 seconds, and clears on any world entry; the rim-arrow rank rides the packet's own field, not a guessed constant
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the UIPanel registry is re-derived from the reference's bytes: the readable-item page finally registers, so a note or letter closes when a gossip window opens instead of interleaving with it line for line; the character sheet takes its real pushable-2 seat (an NPC window slides it over instead of replacing it), and the spellbook, quest log, talents and character sheet open for dead players again — a refused open now says "You can't do that when you're dead." instead of doing nothing
- the gossip window waits for its greeting: the first packet carries only the options and a text id, and we used to show the frame with a blank page for the round trip the text needed — the menu now exists only once the text has answered, a mid-flight click is refused, and a revisit is instant off the cache
- a bag slot whose stack count changes on the server now fires `ITEM_LOCK_CHANGED` just ahead of its `BAG_UPDATE` — the one signal 1.12 hunter addons use to detect a spent arrow — so Quiver's auto-shot bar drains per shot instead of pinning at 100%; a swap or create deliberately does not fire it, so rearranging bags can't read as a shot
- the outdoor minimap tiles' gamma byte reaches the screen exactly once — the ordinary decode arm learns the same skip the fast path already had
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the four extra action bars become per-character options, off by default, on a new Action Bars options page — the toggles ride the server's own byte (`CMSG_SET_ACTIONBAR_TOGGLES` into `PLAYER_FIELD_BYTES`), so a fresh character's zero is the default for free; turning the bottom-left bar off gives the stance bar its previously unbuilt unraised look, end-caps and 64×64 rings
- bag windows stop drawing straight through a raised bottom bar: the bottom band has ONE owner — the manage pass — the bag stack joins it through a listener seam, and a guard test walks all eight raisable-bar combinations across 24 bar/tenant pairs and refuses overlap
- the item-push card takes the reference's real geometry, closing the gap 0887 measured
- resizable addon windows stop at their bounds instead of pinning and walking across the screen: four per-frame f32s with 0.0 the disable sentinel, the clamp on the interactive drag only with the residual rebated out of the drag delta, `<ResizeBounds>` in XML honoured — and `SetFontString`'s three raises land exactly as the bytes have them
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Quiver works end to end (the reported nil-field error): 1.12's widget method tables are flat, so the 19 Region methods are ONE function per name — a frame's `GetHeight` IS the texture's — where we had two implementations behind two disjoint registries; `Button:SetFontString` and the Set/GetMin/MaxResize quad land with it, and the 219-addon survey moves loads-without-error 150 → 151 with every other addon byte-identical
- a teleport stops dropping you into a bare city: the reveal gate now waits on geometry that can actually draw (14 regions had sat undrawn for 630 ms with the cover already down), a relocating snap ≥100 yd raises the cover, and the pipeline warm pass runs once per process — a far same-map teleport's cover drops 3.8 s → 0.8 s
- the empty-world flash on a fully-resident teleport dies with it: the camera's world pose publishes before anything in Update reads it, so the visibility verdict stops being computed up to 644 yd from the eye — the lag reads 0 yd on every snap frame of every arm
- the camera follow becomes the engine's own curve — an edge-armed cosine smoothstep clamped to 0.1–2 s behind a 7-state input classifier, the enum 0/1/2 with Smart staying the default — and overlapping chat bubbles stack as whole cards, one frame level per bubble, nearest to the camera on top
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the camera auto-follow returns, as a setting: Camera Following Style on the Controls options page — Smart (the default), Always, Never — so after an orbit drag the camera swings back behind you while you run; far sight still forces the chase off
- broken addons announce themselves: world entry prints "3 addon load failures — type /errors to see them", and the `/errors` window lists every script error this session with its traceback — 256 deduplicated rows, repeats collapsing onto a count — while the five load-failure classes that only ever hit the terminal (missing .toc, unparseable FrameXML, dependency cycles…) finally get a channel
- B opens the backpack alone, SHIFT-B opens all bags, F8–F11 toggle the individual slots — the reference's six bag commands instead of one command wearing every chord; and the Skills page gets its CLOSE button, with the ALL fold in the row font
- cmangos-classic logons work: `CMSG_AUTH_SESSION` now carries the real client's twelve secure-addon records (342 bytes, compressing to 130) — an empty addon block is a shape no client can send, and cmangos kicks for it where vmangos shrugs; Warden-enabled anticheat remains a separate wall
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Print Screen takes a screenshot to `benilla-config/Screenshots/` (F13 on macOS), shows the reference's "Screen Captured" line, and the line never appears in the file — the capture defers one frame so the hidden confirmation's quads rebuild first; and the rule it surfaced is now hard law: benilla never writes anything into the WoW install
- six per-frame taxes now skip when their inputs are settled: water foam asks a spatial index (a dry unit is one hash miss, was a ~2.2k-surface scan per unit), an idle remote stops its capsule sweeps at the fixed point, hover picks stop allocating ahead of the ray-sphere reject, an unchanged unit's loadout is not re-derived, and the ground-shade walk stops re-asserting the world — settled inputs produce bitwise-identical outputs, each lane fenced by its own test; ms pricing still waits on a quiet machine
- overhead names take the V-plates' 20-yard cap, read at the bytes (this one is wrong and reverts in the next snapshot — the law belongs to the other nameplate system)
- the calendar lifts out of the `date()` global into its own module
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- show-helm / show-cloak preferences dress the world body at last: the preference is `PLAYER_FLAGS` 0x400/0x800 — a public descriptor field, so it dresses every player you can see — and equipment resolve now reads it in both places the helm resolves (geosets and attachments) and the one the cloak does; character select has honoured the same stored bit since day one, which is why the two disagreed
- the toggles reach the wire (`CMSG_TOGGLE_HELM`/`CMSG_TOGGLE_CLOAK`), the `ShowHelm`/`ShowingHelm`/`ShowCloak`/`ShowingCloak` script API exists, the dressing room follows the world, and Options → Interface finally has the two rows
- the minimap's interior draw starts compositing into the client's own 256² target, and the interior gate reads the client's indoor byte — the ground work for the black-lines fix that lands next
- `WOW_DRESS_CENSUS` reports what the wire asked for vs what is on the body
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a text write names its own label, so the per-frame measure sweep drains a short ledger instead of hashing every font string twice — ~0.3 ms a frame at the Stormwind gates, gone
- the idle interface tick stops re-writing settled state: buff durations and the weapon-enchant frame write only on change, and the fade and unit-popup drivers park until woken
- the interface extract skips a hidden region before cloning its row, not after
- WOW_UPLOAD_BUDGET=<MB> brackets the arrival burst's upload pacing — a lever for measuring world entry, not a fix yet
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the pale lines through the speech bubble were its backdrop atlas bleeding across its own slices under magnification; the slices now inset, verified per row against the real backdrop bytes
- a bubble that never appears can say why: all seven silent refusals report themselves under the bubble trace
- the invisible trigger creature goes invisible at last — there is no server flag to consume; its model is authored empty, and the black slab people kept meeting was our own placeholder cube. a display that names a model now draws exactly what that model builds, including nothing
- a census probe lists which streamed entities are standing as placeholder cubes, and on which displays

- VSync is a player setting on the Graphics page now — 1.12's own gxVSync, persisted like every other CVar — instead of a dev-HUD checkbox
- the perf HUD collapses to one surface that says everything once, at a deliberate, governed width; the badge stops crying wolf
- the idle chat dock stops repainting itself every frame — the fade applier gets the gate the reference carries twice over, and hovering still reveals the hidden tabs
- the tick can name who spent it: per-handler self/total attribution at the one seam where every handler fires
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the interface's layout graph is maintained as anchors change instead of rediscovered from scratch: 1.48 ms per mutated frame becomes 34 µs, and end to end a running cast now costs +0.14 ms where it cost +4.33
- the autocast shine draws its authored population — 1200 particles through the star's own projection, spinning as the model says
- the shine is clipped to its own widget: the model frame installs its rect as the viewport, so nothing it draws leaves the button
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the pet bar's autocast shine cost +4.25 ms a frame for one button: its 92 script-side SetPoints forced two whole-roster anchor solves every frame — the shine now draws from a native lane, re-measured at +0.03 ms with what is drawn bit-faithful to before
- an NPC that spawned under its own floor — a cellar wolf, a pet at login — now measures its ground clamp from the server's seat instead of its own last answer, and climbs out
- a running cast cost ~4 ms a frame in layout gate walks; a mutated frame now takes one walk, not three, and the settled interface is pinned at zero
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a single animating entry — the resting blink, a sweeping cooldown — now re-converts alone and stitches into last frame's interface quads instead of dragging the whole batch through conversion, and the staleness sweep stops allocating
- two physics levers measured and flipped: entity clusters and the pre-step transform propagation both default off, −0.28 and −0.40 ms at the Stormwind gates
- the per-frame hygiene basket: env lookups cached once, both mouseover walks filtered by archetype instead of touching every streamed object, ground-shade cards resolve to their nearest shaded root, the nameplate steady frame stops allocating and stops dirtying transforms
- new meters for what remains: an animation memo-sizing counter and a lever that prices the physics stack's rate

- UI layout solves what moved, not what exists — hovering a full bag no longer re-solves the whole interface
- world albedo textures stop keeping a second copy of themselves in RAM
- collision gets a coarse grid for oversized slabs (32x fewer triangles tested), idle units stop re-asking the ground every frame, and anchors spawn on first consumer instead of by the thousand
- aura and loot watchers scan when the store changes rather than on the clock, and static-transform tracking and plate reaping join the sweep
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a teleport between cities on one continent could release you before the destination had streamed in and drop you under the map — the residency publish now waits for the snap and names the tile its facts are about, so the loading screen provably holds until the ground is real
- nameplates stop jittering: plates of units you cannot see no longer shove the visible ones around, and the snap rides the correct pixel grid
- unit-name text takes its first fix — a string fits the width its own measure reported, and a re-bake reaches the screen
- books and plaques render through a real SimpleHTML widget inside a real ScrollFrame — strict parse, per-element fonts, block layout, and a scroll range measured from the whole subtree

- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- an addon's own texture files resolve from its folder, TGA included, and SetTexture answers 1 or nil the way the client does — custom icons and skins draw
- runtime SetParent re-levels a frame by the client's strata law, and the raise survives hide-and-show round-trips — AtlasLoot layers right
- an addon that unregisters an event mid-fire no longer robs the next addon of the same event — Bagnon's per-character database fills again
- the Model widget's clock truncates milliseconds like the client's, and the no-text cast-bar law is confirmed at the bytes and narrowed to the cast bar alone
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- dialogs carry the reference's toplevel bit, so the stack-split window opens above Bagnon instead of behind it
- the failure line fills its blank — "Requires Blacksmith Hammer", not "Requires" — and Opening casts stop printing a label the spell itself marks "no text"
- the pet bar's Attack/Follow/Stay tooltips name their keybinding, and typed text reaches the focused frame through the client's own delivery walk
- AtlasLoot parses again: our Lua keeps 5.0's compatibility semicolon
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a real skill-up prints its line; the lines the client keeps silent — class specs, racials, mounts — stay silent, off the game's own flag
- the stack-split dialog draws whole: its plate fills the window
- the four bag-bar buttons speak the reference's names all the way down, so Bagnon's overrides catch them and the backpack button lights while its window is open
- regions anchor at creation — the client's implicit-anchor law replaces a pile of draw-time fallbacks
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- an addon error shows the red script-error dialog the reference shows, and a runaway load loop can no longer freeze world entry
- food and drink show stack counts from the first login, and a paladin's aura bar lights the aura that is actually on
- logging out no longer erases the character from saved-bag addons: the player's absence is no data
- MPQ patches are discovered the way the client discovers them, and a slow arrival holds in place instead of falling through the world
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- SetBinding accepts the mouse wheel — the refusal was ours, not the client's — so wheel-bound action buttons press and release like the real thing
- one addon load law: a single arbiter for "can this addon load, and why not", with the out-of-date version gate live
- one AddOns screen — the character-select list, wearing the authored reference layout: roster dropdown, per-character tri-state checkboxes, force-load; the ESC-menu panel is retired, since 1.12's own menu has no AddOns row
- the glyph atlas follows the window scale, so maximised text stops washing out and a title stops measuring wider than it draws; an unpositioned frame positions nothing, instead of landing at the screen origin
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the in-game UI ends at the character screen and is rebuilt at the next login, so addons that read the character at file scope stop being frozen on whoever logged in first
- everything the host remembers about a UI is keyed on that VM's identity — keybinds, macro icons and every feed survive the rebuild instead of silently pushing nothing
- a ribbon trail rides the room its model is drawn by: Caverns of Time's ninety energy trails stop burning through 200 yards of rock
- the visibility census gains the sky and ribbon lanes it could not see, and the logout leak probe measures after the release instead of accusing every run

- GetStringWidth answers the moment the text is set — the client's width law is a per-glyph table, no shaping pass — so Bagnon's character dropdown stops collapsing to 40 pixels
- a chat channel keeps its number when another channel leaves: Trade stays /2 through a teleport
- the login splash, the zone music and the minimap label wait for the world under the player instead of announcing whatever tile happened to be loaded
- ending a session empties the chat window and the input box's history
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- a channel line renders in the channel family's color, not the grey notice row the client consults and throws away
- a text emote composes its sentence — gender and target picked from the game's own tables — so a /wave is a line in chat, not just an animation
- a FontString's `font=` resolves a font object by name and gates the whole block, `<Gradient>` tints the art it sits on, and buttons' state fonts read `font=` too — Bagnon's white boxes and bare stack counts are fixed
- the money frame sizes its coins from the digits themselves, so Bagnon's gold stops opening cramped
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- the Character window's third tab is in: faction rows under their headers, standing bars, the detail popup and the watch bar, at the reference's own anchors
- all four reputation opcodes parse byte-exact, the flag byte reads the way the client reads it, and a standing gain reveals the faction unless it is hidden
- an end-to-end golden drives live wire bytes through the game data to the exact visible row list
- the reference-code overlap is measured by an instrument instead of asserted — the start of a debt paid in full later in the day
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `--surface` re-runs the comparison against the captured in-world global table on demand, and `--surface-dump` writes our raw side for any tool to join — a one-shot measurement stops drifting
- CreateFrame with an unresolvable template raises exactly as the client does, instead of handing back a bare frame; `inherits=` is one name, matched case-insensitively
- CreateFontString and CreateTexture honour their third argument — 49 corpus call sites were passing an inherit into the void
- the addon-message inbound byte map is corrected (a test had agreed with the wrong constants), and the group-loot roll template publishes under the reference's own name

- the one shared region table splits into the client's own maps: a Texture no longer answers SetText, a FontString no longer answers SetTexture, and feature-detecting addons see the true surface
- CreateTitleRegion lands whole — object and drag — so an options window that is its own drag handle actually moves
- font-object names resolve whatever their case, and the CursorUpdate/CursorOnUpdate pair arrives for the container-item templates
- GetStringHeight is pruned (1.12 has no such method) and SetPortraitToTexture moves to the global it really is

- every addon VM runs under an instruction bound, so a non-terminating loop becomes a report — and the bound promptly caught a landed fix that had been left switched off
- an unrecognised unit token raises the client's own "Unknown unit name" error instead of answering nil
- GetBindLocation answers from a real bind point, and RequestTimePlayed round-trips with TIME_PLAYED_MSG — both halves or neither

- 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

- SendAddonMessage sends on the real 1.12 lane — an ordinary chat message wearing the addon-language sentinel — across the party, raid, guild and battleground channels, byte-verified in the client binary
- the receive half fires CHAT_MSG_ADDON with the client's own four-argument shape, and the two halves are round-tripped against each other so they cannot drift apart silently
- the `|`-escape scan is carved from the binary: colour escapes inside a message survive exactly as the real client allows them

- Lua 5.0's generic-for and nested long strings are restored in a forked VM — 60 corpus addons stopped dying on one deleted opcode
- a day of demand-driven carving takes the 218-addon corpus from 24 addons surviving a session start to 114, with 144 loading without a single error
- Bagnon draws a real bag and answers real gestures — hover tooltip, pickup, use, drag — because our frames wear the reference's names, and the reference's own ContainerFrame.lua runs off the player's install instead of being transcribed
- the physics broad phase leaves: nothing in the client reads a contact, and it was measured at up to 41% of main-thread samples in real sessions

- 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

- minimap zoom and the camera's distance and pitch persist across sessions
- the trainer's point-filter is a saved variable now and survives a relog, resetting per packet like the reference
- the options window gains its Combat page, over rows that can write the UI's own saved globals
- the step-up is a rise, not a jump forward — and the descent cone's cap belongs to the body, on every leg

- the step-up and step-down budgets are the client's own verified numbers, and the step regime is chosen by the blocking edge
- walking off a kerb follows the surface down instead of diving past the edge; steep ground supports you only while you are descending onto it
- a ride on a moving platform survives the ground snap, and a vertical wall no longer depends on a float's sign
- trainer and craft rows sort with the real client's own comparators, one per window — Beast Training lists a skill's ranks in ascending order again

- the Great Forge's lava stays drawn from every angle, and the chasm catwalk reads as a connected grate again
- music decoding and shader-compile bursts stop crowding the audio's lane, and the output buffer follows the device's real deadline
- the audio path grows its instruments: a mix tap to WAV, a starvation meter, a hardware overload listener
- trainer detail icons carry the reference's own tooltip

- ctrl-click an item to try it on: the dressing room dresses your double, and shift-click posts the item link to chat
- the pet tab lands in the character window: paper doll stats, family and diet, the right-click menu, and dropping food on the pet feeds it
- water-only spells refuse on dry land: aquatic form gates to swimming, client-side like the real one
- the macro icon picker's white squares get their art back, and option rows explain themselves on hover

- the spellbook's pet tab lists what the pet knows, with autocast toggled right on the page
- pet ability cooldowns sweep on the pet bar, and the bar binds to 1.12's Secondary Action Button keys
- the options window scrolls its pages in a real trough with seated arrows, nothing overflows the frame anymore
- Esc un-queues a queued strike, and a hostile unit's frame stops showing buffs the real client hides

- drink enough and the screen blurs and your walk meanders, the camera carried along with the stagger; the underwater blur ships in the same lane
- boots leave prints on snow and sand that fade away in about six seconds, paws and hooves included
- key bindings move into the Options window with the rest of the settings, and action buttons abbreviate their hotkeys the way the client does
- the pet bar rearranges by drag, a running pet spell shows its active icon and a click cancels it, and spell ribbons follow their verified physics

- every rebindable key runs through one chord-to-command engine, set in the era Key Bindings window, and buttons show their real keys
- a spell aimed at the ground sends its projectile to that spot, arcing to the point instead of a target
- a pet ordered onto something it can't attack refuses cleanly, and its frame shows the happiness face read from the client's own data
- a window's tabs clamp to the drawn edge and highlight exactly where they sit

- the pet gets its own unit frame beside yours, and an Attack order no longer latches as the standing command
- five rooms that always read bone dry hold their water now, the Deeprun Tram's flooded stretches among them
- macros fire through the client's own chat door, and the macro window fits its tabs and scrolls its icon chooser
- the options window grows a Nameplates page and its first dropdown, and the name-display switches apply live in the world

- a hunter's or warlock's pet has its action bar now: attack, follow, stay, the pet's own spells with cooldowns and autocast sparkles
- the macro system lands: the macro window, the icon chooser, /cast and /macro, and macros dragged onto the action bar
- hunter shots look right at last: the bow draws and releases on the shot, and the arrow lays a spark trail its whole flight
- the options window re-dresses in 1.12's own art with the classic dialog look, and gets a working search box and clickable steppers
