- the mix had no headroom: every WoW sound is mastered to full scale, so five party-wide Fortitudes in one frame asked for 5× and clipped hard ("dirty, like a speaker breaking") — a stereo-linked look-ahead limiter now holds the output, a meter reports the peak the mix asked for, `SoundOutputLimiter 0` A/Bs it, and the 3D voice ceiling is named at 512 instead of inherited from the backend at 128
- a shaman's Rockbiter / Flametongue / Frostbrand / Windfury Weapon casts straight onto the equipped weapon on the press — no item cursor, no click — the reference's own `Attributes & 0x200` read; stones, oils and poisons still raise the cursor
- the nameplate category's player arm is pinned to the bytes (CanCooperate is faction-group-mask equality) and `/reaction` prints the one number it turns on: a GM-mode character plates as an enemy on a test realm because faction 35's mask is zero, exactly as 1.12 does

- 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fix that merely let one-shot effects survive the swap's teardown produced the right pixels for the wrong reason and is superseded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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- a mid-session wgpu validation crash is gone: `NoIndirectDrawing` rides the camera's spawn instead of a per-frame sweep — 18 cameras were being flagged after spawn, and one whose first extraction beat the sweep latched indirect buffers forever; the census now reads zero late inserts with the direct-draw optimisation fully intact
- the 20-yard overhead-name cap is withdrawn: it read the V-key nameplate frame's law onto the overhead name lane, which the bytes show carries no distance term at all — a distant name just gets small; V-plates keep their 20 yd, which is correctly theirs

- 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

- the Stormwind/Orgrimmar minimap lines are gone, at the cause: a group's boundary tile is authored 1.0 yd larger on that side alone, so touching groups overlap by 2 yd — without the bleed a LINEAR-filtered silhouette loses ≈0.38 texel at every abutment and the black clear reads through as a dashed line; with it, disc black goes 4.49% → 3.69% and no lines, inside the reference's own band
- the tile sampler stays LINEAR but filters in gamma space (`GL_SKIP_DECODE_EXT`, as the reference's trace has it) — a terrain underlay and a NEAREST sampler both reproduced the symptom and were both retracted as wrong once wow-re refuted them
- the canal-surface line in the world was a second defect: Stormwind's canal groups genuinely overlap (14,416 lattice points claimed wet twice), so the translucent sheet composited twice — the MLIQ `0x80` shared-tile gate now resolves each shared cell to one owner at load, pixel-identical and zero double-claimed points, not one wet point lost
- the interior composite is probeable headless now: `WOW_MM_PROBE` synthesises the minimap slot server-less, and an offline rebuilder reproduces the defect and the fix from the shipped art

- a frozen model-particle pool stays hidden (spell shards were drawing through walls and the cull forever), and a parked rig's animation event tracks fall silent like the reference's — except MORE_AUDIBLE creatures, so off-screen combat stays audible while the rest of the world goes properly quiet
- an automatic dismount no longer keeps the mount's run speed on foot (the reported `.tele` repro): a mover's speeds stage for the whole drain instead of being written live mid-teleport
- a dead character's portraits show the living face again: the ghost death-screen pass was leaking into every portrait bake — all eight portraits, paper doll, inspect, dress-up — because the death gate was the one combine lane with no per-view scale; post-fix the bake reads MAE 0.000 against the living control while the world still goes steel-blue on release

- a frozen model-particle pool stays hidden (spell shards were drawing through walls and the cull forever), and a parked rig's animation event tracks fall silent like the reference's — except MORE_AUDIBLE creatures, so off-screen combat stays audible while the rest of the world goes properly quiet
- an automatic dismount no longer keeps the mount's run speed on foot (the reported `.tele` repro): a mover's speeds stage for the whole drain instead of being written live mid-teleport
- a dead character's portraits show the living face again: the ghost death-screen pass was leaking into every portrait bake — all eight portraits, paper doll, inspect, dress-up — because the death gate was the one combine lane with no per-view scale; post-fix the bake reads MAE 0.000 against the living control while the world still goes steel-blue on release

- the loot kneel finally fires on a chest (the reported gap): a chest never sends `CMSG_LOOT`, so the client-local loot latch gains its second arm on `SMSG_SPELL_GO` with the loot response as an admission gate — you kneel before the window opens and hold it while it is up, like the reference
- the outdoor draw election lands: the 1.12 client elects every scene object per frame, and a unit behind you or in a room the portal flood can't see is neither drawn, animated nor particle-ticked — at the Goldshire pin drawn submeshes go 365 → 49 and live particles 569 → 138, camera stamp bit-identical; `WOW_NO_DRAW_ELECTION=1` reverts. No ms pricing yet — counts only, the machine was shared
- standing-NPC facing and docked transports go write-on-change instead of dirtying their transforms every frame
- the options window gets a ground: a black fill inside the rope drops the world's bleed-through onto the page from 40% to 12%, so the small text reads against snow and noon water

- 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

- WMO water stops running the terrain-liquid program: the material key names WHICH renderer a pool takes, and the two WMO arms land — Blackfathom Deeps' interior pools take their authored per-vertex opacity and the material's own body colour (34, 38, 57 there — the dark blue-grey in the reference shot) instead of coming out opaque and daylit on the zone's river swatch
- the exterior WMO arm bands at sub-17, not sub-16 — teal, not olive — which is what the Stormwind canals actually read as
- a hole corner's authored height no longer counts as a height, and a corpus-wide instrument reports which WMO water arm every pool takes
- the ADT/Felwood golden sweep is bit-identical: open-world water is provably untouched

- the Tainted Scar sky reads its dark red overcast instead of almost pure white: a light-band row with no keyframes now commits the client's own constant — black for colour rows, +0.0 for scalars — instead of an invented neutral-daytime palette; Blasted Lands authors cloud density 0.85, so the cloud gradient IS the sky there, and sky pixels go `rgb(255,255,255)` → `rgb(145,55,25)` while the terrain control stays bit-identical and the blessed capture sweep holds MAE 0.000
- an NPC you interact with turns to face you and holds the bearing while the window is open — client-side, a per-frame facing-goal chain whose smoother halves the remaining angle each frame (π settles in 8–9 frames); the server sends nothing, and a patrolling guard or a creature in combat is unaffected
- sending a chat line plays the talk gesture, like every 1.12 client: a say reads its last byte (`?` question, `!` exclamation, else talk), a yell always shouts, a laugh-word laughs — five gestures resolved from Emotes.dbc flag bits, and talking stows a drawn weapon
- a standing capture viewpoint pins the Tainted Scar sky for regression

- the "Not built yet" paragraph catches up with the last two weeks: guilds, the pet bar, fishing, the dressing room, macros and key bindings are in, and the list is now battlegrounds and honor, the auction house, and the unfinished half of addon support
- third-party addons are stated as partial: AtlasLoot and Bagnon run, and the addon API fills in as more addons are tried
- the UI line names the guild, macro and key-binding windows among the classic windows it drives

- a fix16 animation key is signed: Zul'Farrak's troll gate was drawing its burnt twin inside the intact one (a −1.0 key read as +1.0, so the cull never fired) — 24 two-state models stop showing both states, 65 fade curves lose an over-bright tail
- a GameObject is placed by its quaternion, not its facing: the Ravenwind arm of the Feralas signpost comes down from mid-air onto the post, and 1,411 visible spawns — 123 of them chairs — take their authored tilt; the inspector shows it
- sitting in a chair holds: a jumpless fall puts nothing on the wire until it lands and heartbeats on the ordinary 500 ms deadline, so the stalled frames inside the chair's collider no longer send the moving flag that stood you back up; and the use cursor greys past the chair's own 3.0 yd reach

- a panning UI batch rides its Transform instead of rewriting its mesh, minimap tiles emit unclipped (the mask shader already zeroes the corners), and the blip layer's origin snaps to half a logical pixel — steady UI mesh writes while moving drop from ~183/s to 10–14/s, and three minimap quads stop arming change detection over ~40k world meshes
- the classify twin GC comes off the despawn edge: a part despawn schedules the full walk behind a 2 s deadline instead of running it that frame — 12–22 full walks a second while walking, gone
- the walking tax measured and banded at Goldshire: parked 10.7 → moving 14.1 ms/frame of process CPU, ~+2.5 after the two fixes above
- WOW_PART_CHURN and WOW_MESH_HOLDERS count part spawn/despawn frames and name which entities hold a churning mesh; the capture rig's `at:` pin learns a facing

- the perf pill is ~25 quads on the player-UI pass — `{fps} fps {cpu} ms` and nothing else — so the egui lane sleeps whenever no dev panel is open, instead of the collapsed pill paying ~1 ms for egui's whole per-frame train
- the pill is the whole HUD: the expanded readout, the spike arrow and the spike-detection engine behind it are removed; a >250 ms hitch still logs
- WOW_CPU_CENSUS=<at>:<secs> — a per-thread CPU census that sums to the process total exactly, user/sys split; in Lower Blackrock Spire the main thread is ~41% of ~14.5 ms, the render thread ~17%, the compute pool ~25%, Metal's own workers ~12%
- the object field store goes flat: the wire's presence mask plus a dense value array replace a BTreeMap, so 5–10k descriptor probes a frame are two array indexings — the main thread ~0.5 ms/frame lighter at the same pin

- with no WoW install the client boots to the login screen instead of panicking on frame one: three world systems demanded install-gated resources their own startup never inserts
- `WOW_DATA=` — set and empty — means there is no install, in any build; the cursor says "no client data" once instead of thirty-one times
- the per-frame `bevy_egui pass output has not been prepared` ERROR is gone: a gated context runs an empty pass itself, so the idle lane keeps its savings and the log stays silent
- ECS diagnostics name their system in a dev build — no more `<Enable the debug feature to see the name>` in a panic

- the char-select plaza stops pulsing dark and bright after a geared relog: the off-world lane now carries its authored batch order, so a ground decal and the street under it stop swapping on a sort tie re-broken every frame
- the perf HUD goes on a diet: two small numbers and a bare arrow, drawn from a 4 Hz snapshot instead of the live meters
- a missing file in a player's addon manifest logs WARN, not ERROR — a broken third-party package is the addon's defect, not the client's
