benilla's layer now uses only the 1.12 API and the 1.12 Lua forms, and the host hooks it used are gone from the VM.
- **The VM calls handlers as 1.12.1 does.** A handler body is compiled as the chunk itself, so `self` in it is an ordinary global (`0x704c70`). A handler is called with no arguments (`0x705199`). The loader reads no `function=` attribute.
- **`GetBinding`/`GetNumBindings` answer the 1.12 list** (`0x4b7f60`): `HEADER_*` section rows, plus every key bound to a command, with no category column. The stock `KeyBindingFrame` now shows its section headers and both key columns.
- **The Key Bindings page captures keys through its own window**, as `Blizzard_BindingUI` does: the frame's `OnKeyDown` for keys, clicks for mouse buttons, and the wheel. It takes the `Benilla` prefix, so loading the stock binding addon no longer breaks it. The UI pointer feed now hands frames mouse buttons 4 and 5.
- **`/errors` keeps its log by chaining the Lua error handler**, and the stock ScriptErrors dialog is unchanged. Load failures that never raise now print one chat line each at world entry.
- **Slash commands:** `/reload` and `/errors` are `SlashCmdList` rows in the layer. `/convertraid` is gone; 1.12.1 has no such command. The dev commands are host rows in dev builds only, so a player build answers them with the unknown-command line once.
- **Naming:** every global the layer defines is `Benilla`-prefixed. `BenillaBindCapture`, `KeyBindings_OnHostKey`, the three script-error globals and `SubmitChatInput` are removed.
Verified:
- New tests for each rule and each removed surface; 16 mutations each fail a test.
- Region dumps of the Options window (general page, Key Bindings, armed) are identical before and after.
- `scripts/gates.sh` and `scripts/smoke.sh` are green.
- A live run bound a key, a Shift chord and the middle button through the page, and opened `/errors`.
Built on macOS; no platform seam touched.

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.

- 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

- 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
