Part of #41: the comments of `benilla-world`, Rust and WGSL, are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 24,226 comment lines become 8,863.
- **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:
- `0x6b62e0` is the WMO group's liquid renderer, not a doodad drawer.
- The reference creates a WMO's props once, when a group enters its streaming window (`0x698720` → `0x695aa0`). It then admits them each frame the portal walk visits the group (`0x685d70` → `0x6838f0`). The old text had them created per visible group.
- The liquid query's comments now state the reference's order: the map-object leg first, then the ADT (`0x69b6d0`). They no longer call the Outdoors/Inside split a match.
- The interior probe runs from the character, not the camera.
- The reference lights ground clutter. The old comment said it draws unlit.
- The model-particle "pool order" deviation was wrong. Each instance is its own mesh, depth-sorted every frame.
- The reference's vertical field of view follows the aspect ratio (44.1° at 16:9). The comment now gives it beside our fixed 45°.
- The effect shader's far wall is the live `farclip`, 177 to 777 yd, not a fixed 777 yd.
- Dozens more turned up on the way: renamed or deleted items, docs sitting on the wrong item, stale counts and links.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with a reason. An unbuilt behaviour says so plainly.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Five second readers compared every file old against new, restored the facts the rewrite had dropped, and checked each new citation against the reference.
Defects the rewrite surfaced outside the comments are filed as their own issues (#106, #114, #115, #116). The comments here state what the code does. String literals are untouched; they are #92.

Comments that named a chat reporter, cited a chat channel or message id, or quoted a report word for word now state the symptom in their own words. The test fixtures that used real character names use invented ones.
Verified: 52 of the 56 files strip to identical code with their comments removed; the other 4 differ only in the fixture names, and with those mapped back they strip identical too. `cargo fmt --check` is clean, and the `ui_party`, `unit_frame_tests` and `capture` tests pass with the install present and no skips. Record numbers still in these comments go with the comment pass (#41).

Comments that pointed into the maintainer's private reverse-engineering notes (a note by name, a
path, a section or finding id, the analysis's own name for a client function, a process word) now
carry the fact itself, cited by the reference client's address, by vmangos file and line, or as
"the reference". Nobody outside could follow those pointers.
Comment text only, plus the test-assert and log strings that carried the same pointers. No claim
changes: a comment the notes have since corrected keeps its wording here, and correcting it is
separate work.
The two reference generators, `scripts/gen-reference-globals.py` and
`scripts/gen-reference-verb-events.py`, named the private notes' layout to find their inputs. They
now take the input files as arguments (`--capture`, `--framexml`, `--names`, `--extents`,
`--disasm`). Run on the same inputs, both write the committed tables row for row; only the two
header lines that named the old environment variable change.
Checked per file:
- the code is identical: each file with its comments stripped compares equal before and after; a
changed string literal is compared under a mask that proves only literal text moved and every
literal kept its line count;
- no client address the old text cited was dropped;
- a second reviewer checked every added address against its derivation;
- a detector for the notes' names, paths, ids, function names and process words finds none left;
- `scripts/gates.sh` is green.

The probe skill was a Claude-only file, and its promises held on one machine: its shield needs an
account named probe and digits, which CONTRIBUTING never asks for, and its long-run advice was
macOS's. The switches every checkout has for an unattended run are plain text in CONTRIBUTING
now, read by any tool; METHOD points there, AGENTS.md drops the skills folder, and .gitignore
leaves .claude/ to each person.

A committed .claude/settings.json bound everyone who opens the repo in Claude Code: it switched
their auto memory off, and its one hook guarded the install against Claude's Edit and Write
tools only, never a write through the shell or by another agent. The rule it backed is enforced
for every tool by the code and by scripts/smoke.sh's install watch, which METHOD now cites. jq is
no longer a prerequisite, and .gitignore shares only the skills under .claude/.

The issue form asks for what happened, with only that field required, then what 1.12.1 does,
how to see it, and the build line. Blank issues stay open, and questions point to the Discord.

The 1.12 highlight is not a fixed 64/255 lift. SetHighlight samples the
scene's committed ambient (read at 0x614576-0x6145bd), and every batch
adds it to its colour before the final clamp, lit or unlit.
0xff404040 is only the fallback before a map's light loads. The
highlight now follows the time of day, zone and weather: roughly
(29, 60, 84)/255 at night to (104, 130, 154)/255 at noon, where it was
always (64, 64, 64)/255.
Unlit M2 batches in blend modes 0 to 4 now draw
texel × clamp(tint·M2Color + highlight), the unlit program's c28 + c29.
They took no highlight before. The reference holds the ambient sampled
when a highlight begins; benilla samples it live, a marked deviation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
For blend modes 5 and 6 the reference zeroes the tint·M2Color term and
forces the primary colour to the blend identity (0x70c507/0x70c5b8),
keeping only the alpha. benilla multiplied the batch's M2Color (baked
into its vertex colours, or animated through the material tint) and the
body tint into the texel. Mod and Mod2x batches now bake no M2Color, and
the shader draws them from the bare texel; the alpha still reaches them
through the identity lerp.
Of the install's 615 Mod and Mod2x batches, four carry a non-white
M2Color and none an animated one. The Scholomance testing jars (empty,
ghoul and skeleton) lose the (0.93, 1.00, 0.54) cast on their Mod layer,
and Offhand_Naxxramas_D_01's Mod2x sheen loses its (1.00, 0.95, 0.85)
warmth.

The doc said repeat equals clamp for UVs in 0..1. Under linear
filtering a repeating sampler wraps at the edge, so terrain.wgsl insets
the alpha UVs by half a texel to clamp instead.

Thirteen now assert what they claimed:
- every bare trade status, and the 444-byte extended snapshot for
empty, full and mixed slots;
- the status-1 and status-3 battlefield tails;
- every quest-share verdict byte through encode, parse and decode;
- the greeting pick itself, and the whole compressed-move batch.
Eleven are renamed to what they check, where the claim had nothing to
check against: no capture bytes, no production opcode list, no server
encoder. No strengthened assertion failed.
Probe and assert messages drop their record numbers. The aura probe's
refusal message no longer claims the level-6 probe accounts need a

- the aura-duration packet has a SessionEvent;
- the SRP xor hash is SHA1(N) XOR SHA1(g), not a hash of it;
- the cooldown probe picks Tri, else the first character.
benilla sending a stored integrity hash instead of hashing the install

The test gate refuses skips only where both the install and the
wow-addons-vanilla link are present. The link is gitignored, so the
tree hash cannot see it, and the stamp kept only the install path. A
green earned without the corpus was therefore reused after the link
appeared, and skips were never refused on that tree. The corpus's
presence now sits beside the install in the stamp. The memo message
also names docs/ as well as top-level *.md.

With no `.probe-identity`, the scrub kept the shell's WOW_USER, WOW_PASS
and WOW_CHAR in the environment, so the realm leg inherited WOW_CHAR and
`realm_select::smoke` refused it: the documented
`WOW_USER=… WOW_PASS=… WOW_CHAR=… scripts/smoke.sh` could never pass.
The account is resolved into the script's own variables first and each
leg passes it by name, so it now leaves the environment either way.

WOW_HOST in a child's environment, with and without a declared identity.
