gromandClaude Opus 5 02265cc224 compat: nampower's equipment and item-cache getters, for the character panel
"then we gotta fix bettercharacterpanel, that one is driving me nuts."

BetterCharacterPanel is built on five nampower getters and had none of them.
`GetEquippedItem` was 8 raises in one session of his log; the other four failed
inside the addon's own `pcall`s, so its item-level column, quality colours,
missing-enchant warning and two-hand test were all dead at once. DoiteAuras
reads the same getter in six places.

The spec is the installed `nampower.dll` itself rather than inference, which is
what unblocked this — the earlier note here said to find the upstream spec
first, and the DLL *is* the spec:

  - its usage strings give the signatures,
  - "Slot must be a number between 1 and 19" gives the band, so the slots are
    1.12's own `GetInventoryItemLink` numbering and `NampowerAPI.lua`'s
    `slot - 1` in `IsItemInSlot` is that shim's bug, not the contract,
  - its string pool gives the key names in order, and
  - "Item not found in DBCache" is a raise, which is exactly why the addon
    `pcall`s these three and calls `GetEquippedItem` bare.

`itemLevel` is the one field 1.12 cannot reach at all: `GetItemInfo`'s fourth
value is the *required* level, and later clients are the ones that insert
`itemLevel` there — so the panel's item-level column had no possible source
before this. The cache row now carries it, with `buyPrice` and `displayInfoID`
beside it, and an equipped item carries the raw descriptor numbers the tooltip's
resolved enchant lines could not answer (an id whose `SpellItemEnchantment` row
hides its name is still an id).

Fields left absent rather than guessed are listed in code and in
`docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md`; nothing installed reads any of them.

gromandClaude Opus 5 13989fb09b messageframe: a scroll that moves the view fires OnMessageScrollChanged
WIM sets this script on every window it builds — the history frame at load, then
one per correspondent (six whisper windows in one session of his log) — and we
refused the name by raise, which killed the rest of the builder function each
time, not just the handler.

It was on the deliberate "real 1.12 kinds nothing fires raise rather than
silently accept" list. That rule is right and this was the wrong side of it: the
slot now fires, from the ScrollingMessageFrame's own scroll verbs when a scroll
actually moves the view, which is what a chat addon hangs its scroll-down arrow
on. A scroll refused at either end moves nothing and says nothing; whether the
reference fires one there is untraced.

The raise list keeps its rule and its test — `OnInputLanguageChanged` and the
movie frame's are still raises, and a name leaves that list only when something
fires it.

gromandClaude Opus 5 15f069667e saved: a widget writes as its name, so a saved frame comes back a frame
Decursive raised `attempt to call method 'AddMessage' (a nil value)` on every
login (`Decursive.lua:1393`). It keeps its output window in its own saved table
and guards the reload with `if Dcr_Saved.Dcr_OutputWindow == nil or not ...`
(`:1245`) — which a non-nil *data* table passes.

Our writer walked the frame like any other table: his `Decursive.lua` came back
holding ChatFrame1's own fields (`buttonSide`, `channelList`, `editBox`, …),
twice the size of the real client's file and with no methods on it at all.

The reference tests the value's `T[0]` identity before its fields —
`lua_rawgeti(v, 0)` then `lua_touserdata`, `0x704613`-`0x704628`, reading the
lightuserdata `0x701bd0` wrote — and never walks a widget. A named one writes as
its **bare global name**, a Lua expression, so the reloaded chunk's own lookup
hands the live object back; an anonymous one as `nil --[[ unnamed object ]]`
(`0x872e0c`). His own real-client file is the proof:

    ["Dcr_OutputWindow"] = ChatFrame1,

Deviation: a name that is no Lua identifier writes as an anonymous object, where
the reference writes it raw and would leave a file that will not parse.

gromandClaude Opus 5 68138334ed spell_fx: an effect on a host with no attachment points seats at its box top
Reported from play: "ore vein is still not sparkling" — so the switch fix
landed and the sparkle still was not there.

Reproduced offline in the `fxview` GameObject lane (`WOW_CAPTURE=fxview
WOW_FX_GO=310 WOW_FX_GO_TYPE=3`, a copper mining node), which runs the real
chain. Everything upstream works: the gate fires, `attach_spell_fx` spawns the
instance (`kit spawn … Particles\LootFX.mdl`), and `WOW_PARTICLE_CENSUS` finds
all four of LootFX's emitters at the node's position, live, ungated and drawn —
while the captured frame is byte-identical to one taken with the sparkle gated
off. Nothing was missing; nothing was visible.

The attach cascade's last rung is the host's origin, and for a unit that is
right: `0x13` is attachment 19, Base, which creature models author at the ground
point under the feet, and the loot sparkle is a ground twinkle. A 1.12
GameObject model authors no attachment points at all (`copper_Miningnode_01.m2`:
0 — `benilla-m2`'s `dump_attach`), so the cascade fell through to the node's
pivot, which is inside the rock: that model's own 397 vertices run y ∈ [-3.83,
+2.73], and `Particles\LootFX.m2` is a ~1 yd twinkle (four emitters, 0.06–0.14
yd particles, ~0.9 yd reach) with nowhere to go.

So a host with no attachment point seats the effect at the top centre of its own
box. Not its middle — a node is modelled around its pivot, not above it, and
this one's box centre is 0.55 yd underground, which capture-tested as invisible
too, as did half the box height. At the box top the capture differs from the
gated-off one; a peacebloom, whose model is small, already showed at the pivot.

The placement is ours and says so: SuperWoW publishes no source and the
reference has no object arm to copy. It stays subtle by design — row 14 of
`SpellVisualEffectName` scales 1.0 — so it reads as a few twinkles over the node,
not a beacon. If that is not what the real client shows him, the next lever is
the effect's scale, and that one wants his eyes, not mine.

gromandClaude Opus 5 ed92574cea tooltip: SetOwner hides the plate, so a rebuild gives the addon its OnShow back
Reported from play with a video: hovering a bag item draws the enhanced tooltip
— MasterTradeSkills' recipe block, AdvancedTradeSkillWindow2's Bags/Bank/Total
— for about nine frames of sixty, then the plate falls back to the bare one and
stays bare while the cursor sits still.

The loop is stock. `ContainerFrameItemButton_OnUpdate` re-enters `..._OnEnter`
every `TOOLTIP_UPDATE_TIME` (`ContainerFrame.lua:693` in his own patch-4.mpq;
pfUI's bag slots are `ContainerFrameItemButtonTemplate`, so they run it too),
and each turn is `SetOwner` + `SetBagItem` — a clear that wipes every line an
addon appended. What puts them back in the reference is a hide/show pair, and
we had neither half: the `SetOwner` binding hides the plate before it even reads
the owner argument (`0x531179` zeroes the content gate at `+0xd0`, `0x531183`
calls `[vtable+0x84]` = `0x530a60`, which is the `SetOwner(NULL)` core plus the
base hide `0x76ad50`), and the content `Set*` re-shows it through the tooltip's
own Show override (`0x530a80`). So every rebuild raises `OnHide` then `OnShow`.
Ours cleared in place, and the base show early-outs on an already-visible frame
(`0x76ae3b`), so the plate never hid and the `OnShow` never came.

That is why exactly two addons lost their lines while others kept theirs:
`LibItemTooltip-1.0`, the tooltip contract of MasterTradeSkills and
Gromissingcrafts, hangs entirely on a scratch child frame of `GameTooltip`
listening for `OnShow`, where pfUI's ItemID and sell-price lines hook the `Set*`
methods themselves and so re-run on every refresh.

The reference also clears twice per `SetOwner` (once inside the hide, once in
the core) and so fires `OnTooltipCleared` twice; that falls out of calling the
same hide, and the existing lifecycle test already allowed for it.

Addresses read off the player's own `WoW.exe` with objdump, not from memory.
The new test is the hover loop in miniature — three turns of `SetOwner` + a
content `Set*` under a `LibItemTooltip`-shaped child probe — and fails on the
old behaviour with one `OnShow` instead of three.

gromandClaude Opus 5 1287c328e0 creature_anim: the loot sparkle's switch starts where its CVar does
Reported from play: no sparkle on a mining vein, while lootable mobs sparkled
fine. That split is the diagnosis — only the GameObject arm reads the switch.

`LootSparkleMode` derived `Default`, so it booted `false` while its row
registered `"1"`. A boot fires `CvarChanged` only for rows `config.toml`
actually carries, and writing `"1"` over a value already `"1"` is a no-op that
fires nothing either, so nothing could ever tell the resource its real default —
not the boot, and not the player toggling the CVar. The feature was inert for
everyone who had never written that row.

`vplates.rs`'s `VPlateMode::default` carries this warning in as many words,
from `NameplateOcclusion` shipping inert the same way, and this is the same
mistake one feature later. So: a hand-written `Default`, and the twin of that
module's test, reading the registered row rather than restating it. Swept the
rest — of the 32 resources a `CvarChanged` observer writes, 6 derive `Default`
and every one of their rows registers `"0"`, so this was the only one.

The doc row kept two stale claims and both are corrected: the test has had two
arms (the activate bit *or* `GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_CHEST`) since it was widened, and
`FxStage` is immaterial here — `Particles\LootFX.m2`, the `"HARDCODED Loot Art"`
row's own model, holds one 2400 ms sequence with `flags = 0`, and bit 0 clear
loops, so `FxAnimLife::arm` repeats it whatever the stage says.

Still unverified in world: whether veins, herbs and chests sparkle, and whether
anything sparkles that should not.

gromandClaude Opus 5 aeba81ec2e creature_anim: SuperWoW's LootSparkle, the sparkle on lootable treasure
1.12 sparkles a lootable corpse and nothing else — a chest, a herb, a vein or a
quest object is found by eye. Sparkling those arrived in 2.3.0 ("interactable
game objects sparkle and display their names") and SuperWoW backports it as
`LootSparkle`, which upstream describes as "the sparkling effect on lootable
treasure". So on this install the sparkle appears on mobs and not on objects,
which is what was reported.

`arm_loot_fx` grows a GameObject arm beside its unit and corpse ones, hanging the
same "HARDCODED Loot Art" row (0x13) at the same tag, driven by the same field
edges. The three-way decision is a named predicate with a test, because a corpse
falling into the unit arm would read its CORPSE_* bytes as a live unit's, and
because the switch being off has to answer *exactly* 1.12 rather than
approximately it.

The object test has two arms, because the mod's own phrase is "lootable treasure"
and neither arm alone is that:

- `GO_DYNFLAG_LO_ACTIVATE`, the server's per-viewer bit, documented on its own
  field reader as "the sparkle". But vmangos raises it through
  `GameObject::ActivateToQuest`, so on a chest it means *quest* loot: an ordinary
  chest, herb or vein need never carry it, and keying on it alone risks lighting
  up nothing but quest objects.
- `GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_CHEST`, which is exactly chests, herbs and mining nodes —
  treasure by construction, and a type the client reads without the server's
  help. Excluded when `GO_FLAG_IN_USE` or `NO_INTERACT` is set, so an emptied or
  disabled chest stops sparkling.

Both arms are a judgement about what the mod does rather than a trace of it —
there is no source and no published default — so they are written to be read and
corrected, and the predicate's own doc says which symptom indicts which arm: only
quest objects lighting up means the first is doing all the work, doors and signs
lighting up means the second is too wide.

Defaulted on: upstream publishes no default, and the sparkle is present on this
install with SuperWoW loaded, which is what "as if its own default config loaded"
means for this compat layer. `SetCVar("LootSparkle", "0")` is stock 1.12.

**Not verified in world.** The harness has no scene, so the test covers the
decision and not the rendering.

gromandClaude Opus 5 0515274afc tests: four stale expectations this window's own commits left behind
Four benilla-ui tests were red and had been since the commits that changed what
they pin. They were missed because the round's gate was run as `cargo test -p
benilla-app -p benilla-ui` through a grep that only showed benilla-app's results;
scripts/check.sh is the gate that scopes this correctly.

- SetRaidTarget's third argument became a flag rather than the literal word
  "local" (7098d642), so the test asserting the word is the only form now
  states the contract it replaced: any truthy value is the local mark, which is
  what SoloRaidTargetIcons passes.
- GetStringHeight is installed deliberately (75f04b4f), so the regions surface
  check that asserted its absence had to flip.
- The LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES pair (0a907955) was published only once class data
  was fed, leaving the globals absent on a bare VM — which the
  allowed-beyond-1.12 list said we exposed and the creature_info test asserted
  we did not, while its own comment described the behaviour we wanted. Both
  tables are now seeded empty at install, as ClassicAPI publishes them at load:
  tInvert(nil) raises where tInvert({}) is an empty map, and pfUI inverts one in
  its own file scope.
- The AceGUI label test's Lua used a one-argument SetPoint, which 1.12 correctly
  raises Usage: on (LUA_TNONE is not LUA_TNIL — script/tests/anchors.rs pins it,
  and the 1.12 AceGUI backport had every one-argument call rewritten for exactly
  that reason).

And a correction in docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md that the last of those turned up:
GetStringHeight was credited with the empty VoiceOver options, on the strength of
AceGUIWidget-Label.lua's call site and a probe showing every Label at 624x1.
Both were wrong. AI_VoiceOver ships four copies of AceGUI and its TOC loads
1.12\embeds.xml — and the 1.12 tree reads label:GetHeight(), never
GetStringHeight. The 624x1 was the harness's own missing text measurer, the trap
its notes already warn about. The method stays as ClassicAPI parity surface with
the claim corrected; the real cause of that symptom is the scroll-child anchor,
fixed in 75432f7d. The lesson, written into the row: an addon shipping several
library copies has to be read through its own TOC chain before any call site in
it is evidence.

gromandClaude Opus 5 80648267d5 ui_aura: another unit's aura durations, learned from the GO that applies them
The target frame's debuff icons had no countdown. libdebuff was tracking fine —
the probe run said `libdebuff guids: 2` after a fight, and the AURA_CAST_ON_OTHER
events carried the right lengths (spell 772 Rend, dur 9000) — because the timers
pfUI-for-ClassicAPI draws do not come through libdebuff at all. Its unit frames
read duration/expirationTime straight off C_UnitAuras.UnitAuraBySlot
(api/unitframes.lua:1680,1788), and libdebuff's own header says the plumbing
"now runs on ClassicAPI's C_UnitAuras (which provides sourceUnit/sourceGUID and
non-player expirationTime)". So the number came from us, and we answered 0 for
every unit but the player.

There is no packet to answer from: SMSG_UPDATE_AURA_DURATION is self-only, and
SMSG_SET_EXTRA_AURA_INFO — which carries a caster's durations on others — is a
2.0 opcode this protocol does not have. Hence every vanilla duration addon
keeping its own table. This is that table, kept client-side instead, because
this client *is* the client: SMSG_SPELL_GO names the spell and its hit list, so
the apply instant is the packet's own arrival rather than a combat-log line
somebody has to parse, and every reader of the aura lists gets the timer at once
instead of each inventing a tracker.

Keyed by (guid, spell) so a re-cast refreshes in place and a recycled slot
cannot inherit a stale stamp. Length comes from the same
ui_cast_events::aura_duration_ms behind nampower's arg8 and GetSpellDuration, so
the three cannot disagree, and its 0 — permanent, no SpellDuration.dbc row, or a
combo-point/level-scaled one — stamps nothing: a timerless icon beats one
counting to the wrong moment. The join is driven by the unit's own
UNIT_FIELD_AURA, so a stamp for an aura the target resisted is never read, and a
run-out stamp reports nothing rather than a negative remainder.

Not covered, by construction: an aura already on a unit before we streamed it,
and one applied out of our range. No GO, no timer — which is what the mods this
stands in for also do.

gromandClaude Opus 5 3d4c242c09 sound: decode addon .ogg, which is most of the addon audio on this install
unitscan's rare alert was reported as silent. The binding and the loose-file read were both
already right: kira was built without the `ogg` container and `vorbis` codec features, so
`sfx_from_bytes` returned an error for every Vorbis file and `sound/ui.rs` logged it at `debug!`.
A silent alert with nothing in the log to say why.

It is not one horn. **75 `.ogg` files ship with the installed addons** — DoiteAuras 57, BigWigs
11, unitscan 3, HCWarn 2, TWThreat and Cleanup one each — so every alert any of them raises by
`PlaySoundFile` was dead, HCWarn's hardcore death warnings included. AI_VoiceOver ships `.mp3`
and always played, which is exactly what made this look like an addon-specific fault rather than
a missing decoder.

Stock 1.12 plays wav and mp3 only. The deviation is from 1.12 and toward the client the player
actually runs: these are Turtle/OctoWoW addons shipping ogg because that client plays it.
`docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md` carries the row.

The test decodes a real `.ogg` out of the player's own addon folder and skips when there is none,
the same gate the chain-backed tests use for a WoW install — rather than carrying someone else's
audio into the tree as a fixture.

gromandClaude Opus 5 0a90795555 compat: publish LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE/_FEMALE, the table tInvert exists to flip
Half this pair was already here. `ClassInfo::class_file`'s own doc says the token is what
FrameXML keys `RAID_CLASS_COLORS` and `LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE` on, and
`compat/classic_api/lua_ext.rs`'s `tInvert` names pfUI's `pfUI.lua:227` as the reason it exists —
the line that inverts exactly this table. The table itself was never published, so that line
inverted `nil`.

Measured against the live chain: `pfUI.env.L["class"]` holds **0 entries**, and
`L["class"]["Warrior"]` is nil. Every lookup through it then finds no class and skips, silently,
because the consumer tests `if class then` — so the guild roster lost its name colours and class
icons (`modules/socialmod.lua:18`), the friends list lost the same, and `modules/panel.lua:359`
fell back to white. Chat stayed coloured throughout, which is what made it look like a pfUI
setting rather than a missing global.

Published from the class table the app already feeds for `C_CreatureInfo.GetClassInfo`, at that
same feed, so there is one source for the names and no second reader of the DBC. Both tables
carry the same string: 1.12's `ChrClasses.dbc` has one name column, so the gendered pair later
clients ship cannot be derived from this data — a copy is what it honestly supports, and omitting
`_FEMALE` would hand a caller nil where its sibling answers. A run that never feeds the table
leaves both absent rather than empty.

gromandClaude Opus 5 751cac062b compat: C_Spell.GetSpellEffectMechanics, the per-effect sibling
`SuperCleveRoidMacros/ClassicAPI.lua:267` calls it unguarded, so its absence was a raise a
session. It is not a second spelling of `GetSpellMechanicByID`, which this tree already answers:
that one reads `Spell.dbc`'s spell-level `Mechanic`, and vanilla stores some mechanics on an
*effect* instead. The consumer's own comment names the case — Rake's bleed is effect-level, so
the spell-level column says 0 while this answers `{0, 15, 0}` — and a macro conditional asking
whether its target is bleeding gets the wrong answer from the spell-level field alone.

`SpellDisplay::effect_mechanic` was already parsed for the cast-immunity scan, so this is a field
on the probe payload and a reader, not a new lookup. The three-way answer is its sibling's, for
the sibling's reason: nothing at all for an id no spell owns, three zeros for a real spell that
carries no mechanic anywhere, the ids otherwise — collapsing those two would reclassify crowd
control as ordinary damage, which is the hand-kept table this function exists to replace.

gromandClaude Opus 5 06011e5e5b ui_script: the LoadOnDemand log line stops claiming "not loaded"
A LoadOnDemand addon can already be in memory when the walk reaches its row, because an addon
ahead of it loaded it from its own `ADDON_LOADED` — which is how every AI_VoiceOver data module
actually arrives: 224 ms of Lua inside AI_VoiceOver's handler, before the walk gets to the
`AI_VoiceOverData_*` rows at all. The line was printed unconditionally, so it went on saying "no
LoadAddOn() yet" about addons that had loaded. That reads as a bug and is not one; it cost a
session chasing a missing `GetAddOnEnableState` that was never the problem. Gated on a new
`UiScript::addon_is_loaded`.

`docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md` now records why that global stays unbuilt, since the evidence was gathered
anyway: upstream ClassicAPI's own `docs/API.md` does not define it either, and AI_VoiceOver gates a
modern-shaped `GetAddOnInfo` on the same `if not GetAddOnEnableState`, so defining it would leave
`VoiceOver.lua:84` reading `loadable` where it means `reason` and pop the "delete your old folder"
dialog on every login.

gromandClaude Opus 5 75f04b4f28 compat: FontString:GetStringHeight, which AceGUI calls unguarded
1.12 registers no `GetStringHeight` (`script/button.rs`: `0x782390` reads the label's height
instead) and ClassicAPI backports it, so `compat/classic_api/frame.rs` is its home. That file had
it on its own not-built list under "needs per-line layout facts the host measurer is not asked for
today" — true of `GetNumLines` and `GetWrappedWidth`, and not of this one: the whole-string height
is the other half of the number `GetStringWidth` already reads. `measure::current_measure` now owns
the staleness rule for both, so the two cannot disagree about when a measure has gone stale, and a
changed string still reads 0 rather than the previous string's height.

It is not cosmetic. AceGUI-3.0 calls it **unguarded** — `AceGUIWidget-Label.lua:54` is
`height = label:GetStringHeight()` and `AceGUIWidget-CheckBox.lua:90` is
`self:SetHeight(28 + self.desc:GetStringHeight())` — so every Ace options panel on this install
drew its labels and checkbox descriptions at the library's own "avoid zero-height labels" fallback
of one pixel: a window with all of its prose invisible. `addon_harness --probe AI_VoiceOver` builds
that panel's full 32-widget tree with zero errors and every `Label` at `624x1`, which is what
"can't see the actual options in VoiceOver" was.

gromandClaude Opus 5 81d96af35d Everwood: the HD/OctoWoW line of benilla, imported onto upstream
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.
