- One text-input law for every field. Login, character create and the delete
dialog each improvised their own tiny keyboard handling — no caret movement,
no selection, no clipboard, and Ctrl/Cmd+V typed a literal "v" into the
password box. All of them now run the same byte-verified edit-box law as
chat: clipboard, select-all, word moves, shift-selection, the real 0.5 s
caret blink. The password box masks what you copy off it, like the original.
- Copy/paste on Linux had two independent causes, one per direction: our window
is Wayland but the clipboard backend spoke X11 only, and a copy relinquished
the X11 selection the moment it returned (an X11 clipboard lives only as long
as its owning connection). Both fixed — Wayland windows get a real Wayland
clipboard, X11 keeps a held handle. AltGr is not Ctrl anymore either, so
Polish and German layouts can type ą, ć and ź in chat instead of triggering
select-all. Compile-checked on Linux; wants a real-session retest.
- The exterior sun keeps its colour. A per-channel clamp saturated the warm
continental sun to pale yellow-white on every sunlit fence, post and doodad;
the clamp now happens once, at the sum, so the fiery orange survives — the
reported Silverpine fence and Blackrock steps match the reference's own
arithmetic.
- A pool has a floor. Undercity's upper slime channels claimed the dry room a
storey below them — 115 yards down still read as submerged. A pool now stops
at its own room's floor; a sweep of every building in the shipped world found
51 such stacked sites across 6 buildings, all closed.
- Ctrl/Cmd+Z hides the whole UI layer for clean screenshots, and instrumented
debug runs open their window in the background instead of stealing focus.

- Other players walk the world. A watched player's motion between server updates now runs through
the same grounded movement resolve as your own character — same capsule, same colliders, same
step-up and ground election — so they follow terrain every frame instead of every packet, and
stop at a wall instead of walking into it and being snapped back. Their jumps are swept against
the world too, and a standstill jump steered mid-air reports that steer, the one mid-air press
the reference client broadcasts rather than defers.
- The move relay rebuilt: relayed moves ride a per-unit chain on real time, a due move never jumps
ahead of its unit's queue, and SMSG_COMPRESSED_MOVES — the batched carrier the server sends under
load — is decoded rather than skipped. Our own send path now matches the reference client's:
facing streams while moving, Nagle is off so each packet is one write, and the strafe axis nets so
left and right can never ride the same packet.
- NPC and quest text speaks the whole $-macro grammar, carved from the reference bytes — your name,
class and race, the gendered forms, and the server's live world states — and the same
substitution feeds gossip, quest text, the quest log and unit frames. Greetings are a weighted
draw, rolled per NPC per open, and a quest giver with no quest to give is no longer clickable,
where it used to open a dialog holding nothing but a placeholder greeting.
- Spell tooltips finish the reference's line law: cast time and cooldown behind the real passive
gate, the required tool or form, the reagents block, the chance-to-X line, a multi-bit
equipped-item requirement named properly instead of by raw bits, and a buff's dispel class.
- The UI layout engine got a dense, reusable anchor solver, and a change gate that skips the resolve
entirely on frames where no layout input moved — in practice, almost every idle frame. Pets are
named by their pet number rather than a creature-template entry, so the client asks the query the
server can actually answer. And the asset extractor grew a stray-geometry census for tracking
down geometry that renders where it should not.
This snapshot replaces the six dated `sync` commits that stood here before it, whose subjects said
nothing but the date. If you cloned before now: `git fetch && git reset --hard origin/main`.
