The fourteen 1.12.1 functions #336 lists are defined, each derived from its reference address, and benilla's layer drops the two places it stood in for the stock bag code.
- **Keyring:** `KeyRingButtonIDToInvSlotID` (`0x4c8150`) exists, and the keyring slots answer as inventory slots 82-113. The stock `ContainerFrame.lua:616-619` hover path now runs unchanged, and the layer's keyring `OnEnter` wrapper is deleted.
- **Bags:** the layer no longer replaces `CloseAllBags`. The stock one (`ContainerFrame.lua:702-707`) closes the backpack only when it was not open before the vendor or mailbox opened it (#541). The deviation that opens every bag stays, and its comment now names its only callers.
- **Inventory:** `ShowInventorySellCursor`, `SetInventoryPortaitTexture` and `UpdateInventoryAlertStatus` exist.
- **Character and pet:** `GetDamageBonusStat` (ChrClasses field 2), `GetPetTimeRemaining` (armed from `SMSG_PET_SPELLS`) and `GetActionAutocast` exist.
- **Mail:** `ClearSendMail`, `GetNumPackages`, `GetPackageInfo` and `SelectPackage` exist, over a new `Package.dbc` loader. A selected package rides in the mail send. The compose reset now also clears the stationery, the package and the attachment, as `0x4acdc0` does.
- **Tabard:** `GetTabardInfo` opens the tabard designer through the registrar (`0x5e00e0`).
- **World map:** `GetWorldLocMapPosition` projects a map position onto the displayed map (`0x4a7360`).
- **Loot:** `SetLootPortrait` binds a unit loot source's portrait (`0x4c2b40`).
Verified:
- A test per function for its shapes, raises and effects, failing on main.
- A keyring hover test through the stock path, failing on main.
- A backpack-over-vendor test, failing on main.
- `scripts/gates.sh` and `scripts/smoke.sh` are green.
- A live A/B run: hovering a key asked for `player:82` and showed the key's tooltip. After a vendor, opening the Help panel left the backpack open and closed bag 1; on main the backpack closed.

Code health in `benilla-ui`, found while its comments were rewritten. No behaviour a player can see changes.
- **Unused globals and queues removed.**
- The Rust `ChatFrame_OpenChat` and `ChatFrame_SendTell` queued text that nothing drained. The stock `ChatFrame.lua` defines both globals and replaces them when it loads, as the reference's FrameXML does.
- `BenillaGetItemStats` had no Lua caller. Its test of the item cache's miss, ask and push now runs through `GetItemInfo`, which shares that path.
- `UiScript::queue_social_request` had no caller.
- **One true/nil helper.** Seven modules each carried their own copy of `binding_abi::flag`, the reference's `1`-or-nil boolean. They call it now.
- **Three tests test their claim.**
- `click_focuses_regardless_of_autofocus_…` built both boxes with autoFocus on. One is now off.
- `level_shift_saturates_at_zero` never saturated. Its child now drops past 0.
- The layout profiler's `plan` bucket was never set, so it always printed 0. It is gone.
- **Smaller fixes.** An empty `if buyback {}` branch is gone, and a doc comment no longer sits on a `use` line instead of on `install_justify`.
Checked with `cargo clippy -p benilla-ui --all-targets -D warnings` and `cargo test -p benilla-ui` (1513 passed) before the land gates.

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.

- 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)

- founding a guild: fourteen opcodes, eight goldens (four mutation-checked), twelve engine globals, `GuildRegistrarFrame` and `PetitionFrame` — `CMSG_PETITION_BUY` is a 72-byte frame the server reads two fields of and drops in silence if short, `allowedGender` is the family's one u16, a signature is a 12-byte stride not 8, and `MSG_PETITION_DECLINE` writes the charter guid and reads the decliner's — same width, opposite meaning
- two sessions, not one: the registrar is an NPC session (closed by walking away — its show event is one of the fourteen callers of the interact latch, so the registrar turns to face you) and the charter is bound to an item guid you carry across the city; right-clicking a charter in your bags opens it, keyed on template flag `0x2000` (item 5863 has no on-use spell and no quest, so every existing item-use arm declined it)
- the byte carve came back and rescored six named guesses — three confirmed, two corrected, one refuted: `PETITION_SHOW` is deferred until every signer name has resolved (the window never paints blank rows), `ClosePetition` on somebody else's charter sends `MSG_PETITION_DECLINE` ("sends nothing" had been chosen on principle and was wrong half the time), and founding a guild is silent — no `ERR_GUILD_FOUNDER_S`, the reference emits no text at all; the four success ids go to chat and the five refusals to the red error frame, three paraphrased strings are now the shipped ones (a sweep asserts all fifteen), and the `npc` unit token had never been fed — the registrar's name banner was blank; `WOW_PROBE_CHARTER=1` drives gossip → buy → open → rename → destroy live, 10/10
