app: the press queue was switched off in play — a derived Default is the live config
`cvars.rs` announces a `CvarChanged` only when a value *moves*, and `config.toml`
holds only the rows that left their defaults ("CVar values that moved off their
defaults" — its own header). So a row the player never touched never reaches an
`on_cvar` observer, and the resource's own `Default` is what the client runs with
for the whole session.
`PressRules` and `SpellQueue` both derived `Default`. Every toggle was false, every
window 0 and every buffer 0, so the press-interception queue held nothing, the mount
refusal never fired, and `SpellQueue`'s zero window expired each explicit entry on
the frame it was queued — the day after all of it was committed. Fourteen of the
sixteen rows have a non-zero registered default.
grom's own `WoWCombatLog.txt` is what named it, with no live run to ask for: 147
`Sunder Armor: Not yet recovered` against 163 landed Sunders, in bursts 0.17-0.23 s
apart — every press refused, none held. Sunder Armor rank 1 on this realm is
`rec=0 cat=0 catrec=0 gcdcat=133 gcd=1500`, read off its own `Spell.dbc`: a global
cooldown and nothing else, which is precisely the case the queue must hold.
Both now hand-write `Default` with the registered values, which is the pattern
`cvars.rs::registered_defaults_mirror_the_code_truths` already welds for the engine
knobs; `np_press.rs::the_default_is_the_registry` welds these sixteen the same way.
The test-only `defaults_for_tests()` constructors are gone — they spelled out the
registered numbers for tests to read while the client could not reach them, which is
the whole shape of the bug. A sweep of the other nine CVar-cached resources (list
every `fn on_cvar`, take its `ResMut` types, check for a hand-written `Default`, look
up each CVar it names in `REGISTERED`) found no further victims.
Two things so the next session can speak for itself:
- `a_press_made_during_the_global_cooldown_is_held_and_sent_when_it_ends` — the
end-to-end cycle with the GCD as the only guard, which is what a class with no cast
bar presses into all day. The existing end-to-end test arms `PendingCast` by hand
and so never starts a GCD at all; this one presses through the real ladder, so the
commit arms it the way a cast does.
- one `info!` a minute from the drain, and only when something moved: held, sent,
dropped, retried, fell-through, channels cut — plus the live windows and buffers.
Every other line this half writes is `debug!` and the default filter is INFO, so a
67-minute session could not say one word about the queue. A line of zeroed knobs
now diagnoses this class of fault by itself.

app: a held press cannot time out while something still guards it
The queue stamped each entry's deadline when the press was made. That reads right and has a hole in it: a cast pushed back twice (`SMSG_SPELL_DELAYED`) ends after the window a press made at its start was given, so the entry times out while the thing it is waiting for is still running — and the press vanishes with no packet, no error line and no cast. That is the one failure mode a player cannot describe, and it is exactly the class of bug the press queue was supposed to remove rather than introduce. The same hole swallows a press held through a cast whose global cooldown then outlasts the window, which is the ordinary case rather than an edge one: a 500 ms window, a cast that ends, and 1.5 s of global cooldown behind it. So a slot now keeps the window and the base it is measured from, and the drain ratchets that base forward — only ever forward — past every live guard: the cast's reopening, the channel's trimmed end, and the global cooldown's. An entry gives up when nothing is holding it back any more and the window has run out since, which is what "how long past the guard's end" meant all along. Scripts keep a fixed deadline. Their contract is "after queued spells", and a script whose spells never fired has nothing left to run after.

app+ui: nampower's press-interception queue — the half that changes how keys feel
The half of upstream's queue that `queue.rs` has said for three rounds it deliberately left out. A press the client would refuse for a **timing** reason is now held in the same slot an explicit `QueueSpellByName` uses, and the drain sends it the moment the guard clears: no packet, no global cooldown, no error line while it waits. One queue, because upstream has one — a second set of slots beside the first would be a different feature wearing the same name. **The guard reopens early, and that is the headline.** `PendingCast` kept one timestamp and now keeps two. The guard reopens at the cast's own already-known length plus `NP_MinBufferTimeMs`; the record still lives for the cast plus two seconds, so a resolution arriving a round trip later is still recognised as the answer to that cast. That split is not tidiness — the `modalNextSpell` chain that starts a hunter's Auto Shot reads the record, and a record that died with the guard would break shooting. The buffer is not a latency figure, which is why upstream's default is 55 ms and not a ping: our packet reaches the server half a trip after the send, the server finishes its cast half a trip after our own cast time elapses, so a next cast sent at exactly `cast_time` arrives just as the server frees up and the latency cancels out of the arithmetic. The buffer is jitter margin on top. `NP_NonGcdBufferTimeMs` is wider because a non-GCD spell has nothing *but* the guard between two presses. **`NP_RetryServerRejectedSpells` is the mitigation for that**, and that is why upstream defaults it on. If the margin is ever wrong the server refuses the next cast and the press is simply gone — the dropped cast the early guard buys its speed with. It goes back once, held a buffer's worth, on exactly two codes: 0x3c not-ready and 0x61 another-action. Every other refusal is the server telling the player something true, and re-sending one would be a packet a second that never succeeds. **What a window measures, and how that was decided.** Upstream publishes four and no sentence saying. Two readings fit: how long an entry survives, or how close to the guard's end a press must land. This takes the first, because `queue.rs` already reads `NP_SpellQueueWindowMs` that way and one number meaning two things in one client is a trap nobody finds twice; because `Replacing queued nonGcd spell X with Y` means the last press wins, so holding every press costs nothing in staleness; and because the other reading would make the 250 ms cooldown window refuse almost every press made during a global cooldown, which is the complaint nampower exists to answer. Two rows do read a window as remaining time, and both say so themselves. `NP_InterruptChannelsOutsideQueueWindow`'s name states one. And `NP_CooldownQueueWindowMs` has to be one: a cast ends in a second, a Hearthstone cooldown is half an hour, and holding that press means either firing it half an hour later or swallowing it with no error line. A quarter of a second is an allowance for pressing a touch early, not a queue. **Where the rung sits.** Five rungs stay above it — the profession opener, the auto-repeat re-press, the dead caster, the targeting cursor's clear and the on-swing re-press — because each is what the press *means* whatever is in flight. Everything below is a real refusal a player should read: no reagent, out of range, no power, stunned, moving, wrong form. Upstream hooks the cast entry and holds those too, so its error arrives a second later about something the player stopped doing. Refusing them now is the deviation and the better half of the trade. Fourteen CVar rows went live. What stays stored is named with its cost: the dynamic buffer optimizer and its ceiling (off in upstream's own defaults), `NP_OnSwingBufferCooldownMs` (nothing to rate-limit — a re-press of the queued strike already takes the reference's silent bail), the channel latency trim, and the three quickcast rows, all off by default and all needing the world point under the mouse in the cast path. `CastSpellNoQueue`/`CastSpellByNameNoQueue` became meaningful: they take `CastLadder::send_now`, which skips the rung. The queue's own pop takes it too — a pop that could be re-held is a loop that never casts anything. The test worlds now seed the **registered** defaults rather than `Default`'s all-zeroes, which is a configuration nobody runs: three ladder tests were passing only because the queue was off in them. Each now asserts the queue behaviour and keeps the reference's 0x61 in a world where a player unticked the queue. And one test drives the whole cycle through the real drain — press held, nothing on the wire, guard cleared, one packet out — because the failure this guards against is a keypress that produced no packet, no error and no cast, which is the one a player cannot describe.

app+ui: the queue, the disenchant sequencer — 62/62
QueueSpellByName, QueueScript, ChannelStopCastingNextTick, DisenchantAll. Every one of nampower's 62 registered Lua functions is now defined; the `comm -23` in the doc prints nothing. **Upstream's queue has two halves and one is deliberately not built.** The Lua surface — remember this spell, send it when the client will accept it — is `spell/queue.rs`. The other half intercepts *every ordinary press*, so a keypress during a cast is held rather than refused, and it is governed by NP_QueueCastTimeSpells, NP_QueueInstantSpells, the buffer rows and the quickcast pair. That half is not a binding: it changes how every key in the game feels, its bugs are double-casts and dropped casts, and it is not something to switch on as a side effect of porting three function names. Those twenty CVars stay stored-only, each row saying so; the machinery they would sit on is now here, and turning it on is its own piece of work with its own live test. Two of the twenty-two went live, because they are the explicit queue's own knobs: NP_SpellQueueWindowMs and NP_QueueSpellsOnCooldown. Three slots, because upstream has three and its own event says so: SPELL_QUEUE_EVENT's code is 0/1 on-swing, 2/3 normal, 4/5 non-GCD, so the queue is keyed by what kind of cast a spell is — and the kind comes off its own Spell.dbc row through the same three tests the send path makes. Each pops on its own condition: non-GCD and on-swing as soon as no cast guards (neither uses the global cooldown), normal when the GCD has run out too. Three decisions at the queue, each pinned: - A replacement raises no popped event. A second queue of one kind replaces the first — upstream's own log line is `Replacing queued nonGcd spell X with Y` — and the replaced entry was never sent, so a consumer counting pops against queues would see one too many. - An expiry raises nothing either. `*_POPPED` means "this was sent". - The expiry is measured from the end of the cast in flight, not from the moment of queueing, so queueing early during a long cast is not punished. A lapsed deadline cannot shorten the window. **`DisenchantAll` is specified completely by the DLL's own strings**, which is why it is built this way rather than designed. `0x93087` onward carries the argument note, the precondition, the three quality keywords, every stop reason and the three chat lines — one of them as a Lua chunk that builds the item link itself. "move during cast to cancel" is the abort, and it needed nothing new: moving already cancels a cast here, the cast then fails, and a failed cast stops the run. The one piece of machinery a sequencer usually needs is the client's own, and the player's way out is the one upstream documents. How a step's outcome is read: the item is gone, or it is not. There is no "disenchant succeeded" packet — the item leaves the bag. Each step remembers the guid it cast at and waits for it to vanish with a ten-second deadline. An observable test with no new wire plumbing, right for the same reason the cast bar's own edges are. The queue's drain and the sequencer both live inside `drain_spell_casts`, which that file's own note explains: only one system may hold `CastLadder`, because a second would share its resources with every other cast-send system in an order the ambiguity gate cannot know is safe. `spell/queue.rs` names no VM — the first draft mentioned `UiScript` in one comment and `ui_script_wall.rs` counted it as gameplay code naming the VM, which is the gate working as intended: that module really is gameplay state and not a feed.
