Sam SungandClaude Opus 5.5 fdfd8d39ec Comments in benilla-world: one line of fact each, no history, no record numbers (#121)
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.

Sam SungandClaude Opus 5.5 8952d590e6 comments cite the reference by address, not by private note (#30)
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.

SamandClaude Fable 5.1 8562fb0ef1 a crash leaves a report, and the wire's counts are capped
- a panic writes benilla-config/Diagnostics/crash-<time>.txt with the build id, the location, a backtrace and the last 200 log lines, and names the file as its last line, so a bug report can attach it (2266)
- every wire-count allocation hint is capped and the compressed update object reads through the cursor, so a malformed packet can no longer ask for gigabytes (2266)
- the 23 in-world run conditions are one set, the 45 probe variables one registry, the install-gated tests say when they skip, and every gate is timed (2266)
- one workspace-level lint allowance replaces 413 per-site attributes, and the decision corpus gets a lint in the gate (2266)

SamandClaude Fable 5.1 8584b89274 guild lines are message ids, mail sends again, and the shadow fades in
- the guild lines are message ids: `ui_guild/lines.rs` carried 34 English constants and two hand-rolled fill helpers and pushed composed text onto the chat log — 2045's largest ratchet row and the one file its rule had no route for, because `UiError`'s doc claimed the 1.12 formats use at most one `%s` and one `%d` and the type was built to match, while `ERR_GUILD_PROMOTE_SSS` is "%s has promoted %s to %s." — a wrong sentence in a doc had become a wrong type, and the wrong type had made a file's worth of drift structurally necessary; `CGGameUI::DisplayError` (`0x496720`) is cdecl varargs — `add esp,4` bare, `add esp,8` with one string, `SMSG_GUILD_INVITE` pushing two with the stack check exact at `0x30 + 0x60 = 0x90`, and `SMSG_GUILD_EVENT`'s emitter tail `0x5e745f` passing one, two or three off `strCount` — so `UiError` carries an ordered heterogeneous `Vec<FillArg>` (`S(String) | D(i64)`, since `ERR_USE_LOCKED_WITH_SPELL_KNOWN_SI` is String-then-Integer) behind four constructors naming the reference's call shapes (`key`, `s`, `strings`, `args`), twenty sites migrated; what the catalog knew and composed text could not carry: `ERR_GUILD_NAME_INVALID`/`ERR_GUILD_NAME_EXISTS_S` are kind 2 — the red line — and went to chat, `ERR_GUILD_CREATE_S`/`ERR_INVITED_TO_GUILD_SS` carry the LEVELUP cue and `ERR_GUILD_PERMISSIONS` (type_tag `0x3e`) is one the reference speaks (1815), all three silent; the default arm was missing outright — `0x5e745a` pushes `0x69` = `ERR_GUILD_INTERNAL` for `0x09` and every id past `0x0d`, catalog row 105 the whole time, so `TABARD_CHANGE` had been silent under a comment calling the key unsettled; a short `strCount` is passed SHORT (0 and ≥ 4 pass zero strings) so a starved specifier reads "…promoted Furor to %s.", not "…to ."; `/ginfo` deliberately stays off the queue — `GUILD_NAME_TEMPLATE`/`GUILD_INFO_TEMPLATE` are not catalog rows, `0x5e6fb0` resolves each token through the VM and emits chat itself, and a non-row key through `Shown::keyed` would turn a chat line red — so it waits on the guild feed and goes out unkeyed, the enUS month-day-year swap with it; the `_S` arity is asserted from the key names, 22 of 22; the ratchet row is deleted, 208 over 31 files remain (2054)
- a unit's blob shadow asks the UNIT for its alpha: the lane gathered live `RenderFade`s off a unit's part entities and read "no part is fading" as 1.0 — true of a settled unit and exactly backwards for arrival, where a streamed unit holds `PendingAppearFade` with no `RenderFade` anywhere until the world is shown, so its parts were deliberately invisible while the shadow drew fully opaque; measured on a probe login: alpha 1.000 from t 0.61 to the arm at t 3.51, then 0, then the ramp — 2.9 s of dark oval under no creature, the symptom `model_render_alpha`'s own "pending ⇒ 0" law (0827) already named for emitters and ribbons; `model_fade::UnitRenderAlpha` is the one door, composed from the ROOT where `UnitAppearFade` tells pending from settled, published as one question rather than its three inputs so a caller cannot reassemble the mistake, and `DespawnFade::armed()` retires the `-1.0` sentinel from every caller; the world API wall goes 177 → 178; and wow-re settled what the shadow's alpha IS, four questions VERIFIED: it reads `CM2Model+0x180` through `0x710ca0`, not `+0x19c`; that slot carries the appear and despawn ramps, the self fade AND the CharProc-14 aura — `0x60d180` drives the same `StartAlphaFade` the appear fade does, so a stealthed unit's shadow now dims with its body — and not the per-batch M2 colour/weight tracks; and the reference draws nothing under a not-yet-shown object either (`+0x180 = 1.0 · 0.0`, written 30 bytes before the read), so this is fidelity, not taste; three module-doc claims corrected against it: the dead `0x683ea5` gate, the registration handoff (GameObjects and DynamicObjects never cast; units, players and corpses always do), and 1277's `InheritedVisibility` gate, which the reference lacks and stays ours on purpose (2055)
- the mail stationery list was empty for the whole session, and every send with it: the five `dropping command — not connected` lines at login, once named, were `ItemQuery` for all five `Stationery.dbc` rows — `feed_mail` carried no run condition and asked from the login screen before the socket existed, the asks evaporated in the io thread, and `Items::template` had already latched all five in its ask-once `pending` set, cleared on disconnect and never on connect, so they were never re-asked and the stock `SendMailFrame_Reset`'s row-1 selection left every send silently unsent; the list now waits for a self player, and `release_ask_once_latches_on_enter` clears the pending sets at world enter, the counterpart the disconnect teardown never had — a redundant re-ask costs one packet, a wrong latch costs a dead feature nobody can see is dead; and three more log lines answer for themselves: a control character is answered before the shape — a newline is a line break the markup parser consumes, not a missing glyph — so the warn stays meaningful for a glyph a face genuinely lacks; the blend-check's one-frame run is the specialization tick catching up with a material swap, a real login showing four entries clear 26 ms later, so the warn waits for a run to SURVIVE the tick and a one-frame run is recorded at debug; and the audio starve line carries the wall span it covered beside the time it counted and the position it saw advance, because a 1.0 s window still closed 0.756 s of wall after the stream started on `Time<Real>` — if they disagree the caller's clock is still wrong, if they agree the starvation is real

SamandClaude Fable 5.1 41dc45a9a0 swing refusals latch and repeat, and the trade arc stops being silent
- a refused auto-attack is no longer silent, and the display is a latch, not a toast: six opcodes, four arms — `0x145 SMSG_ATTACKSWING_NOTINRANGE` and `0x146 SMSG_ATTACKSWING_BADFACING` latch a code through `0x5ecdb0`, which writes `[0xc4d758]` and `[0xc4c270]` together; `0x148 DEADTARGET` and `0x149 CANT_ATTACK` share arm `0x625ab8` verbatim (StopAttack, no message), so the client cannot tell them apart and `AttackSwingError` collapses them into one `DeadOrUnattackable`; `0x147 NOTSTANDING` is never registered by the reference and `SendAttackSwingNotStanding` has zero callers in vmangos, so a test pins that it stays an unknown opcode; and the fourth arm hides: `0x14e SMSG_CANCEL_COMBAT` is registered at `0x5e3303` by the SPELL TU, not the combat one, so the eight-opcode census every note quotes did not contain it, and its handler `0x5e7dd0` is arm 4's body instruction for instruction; vmangos sends each refusal on the edge alone, so the repeat the player sees is the client's own: the tick `0x5ec950` — `CGPlayer_C` vtable `0x80af78` slot 14, dispatched once per object per rendered frame on the `CWorldFrame::OnPaint` chain, so a Bevy `Update` system is the exact cadence — prints `ERR_BADATTACKPOS`/`ERR_BADATTACKFACING` (catalog rows `0xd8`/`0xd7`, both red) at once and again every 4000 ms while an attack target is set, and a landed swing clears it: `SMSG_ATTACKERSTATEUPDATE`'s arm calls `0x5ea800`, whose first act is `0x5ecdb0(0)`, gated on the attacker being the active player AND the victim resolving (both gates kept — wow-re's round had glossed the second away, and sending that back corrected the note); the latch is one `Option<(Latched, Duration)>` because `[0xc4c270]` has no meaning while `[0xc4d758]` is 0, a second refusal packet defeats the cooldown and the re-arm precedes the print (both tested), the clear also runs once per world entry (`0x5e2510`), and both edges ride ONE `SwingRefusalEdge` stream so a refusal and a landing in the same frame stay in packet order; `SMSG_FEIGN_DEATH_RESISTED` (`0x2b4`) arrives beside them and is built differently because its handler `0x6e9800` is two instructions — a bare `DisplayError(421)` = `ERR_FEIGN_DEATH_RESISTED`, the single word "Resisted" — so it takes the plain `UiErrorKeys` route with no latch; the `--attack` world probe now reports the refusals it tallies; and two remainders are named, not built: `0x5ea800`'s post-swing leash — `R = 4.0 * max(5.0, reach(victim) + reach(self) + 1.3333333730697632)`, floor 20.0, sending a bare `CMSG_ATTACKSTOP` past it — a new packet-sending behaviour left for the director's call, and `StopAttack 0x5ecac0`'s two one-shot tutorials (10 low-health, 11 low-mana), which benilla's copy has never fired (2037)
- the trade arc stops being silent: eighteen of the twenty-three `SMSG_TRADE_STATUS` arms print where benilla printed none, all through `UiErrorKeys` so the text is the player's own `GlobalStrings.lua` and the surface is the catalog record's `+0x04`; the four-row start was the trade block's own emit-site census, which answered "which arms raise a TRADE-keyed message" — eleven of the ids come from elsewhere in the 465-row table (`ERR_PLAYER_BUSY_S` `0x3e`, `ERR_PLAYER_DEAD` `0x7e`, `ERR_GENERIC_NO_TARGET` `0xb8`, `ERR_PLAYER_WRONG_FACTION` `0xff`, `ERR_IGNORING_YOU_S` `0x13d`, the stunned pair `0x191`/`0x192`, the logout pair `0x19d`/`0x19e`, `ERR_RESTRICTED_ACCOUNT` `0x1be`, and `ERR_TRADE_WRONG_REALM` `0x1ca`, whose text is the ONLY_CONJURED sentence), and the surfaces do not follow the English — a successful trade's two lines are the yellow ones, `ERR_PLAYER_BUSY_S`/`ERR_IGNORING_YOU_S` are chat lines, the refusals red; `TRADE_REQUEST_CANCEL` fires from the top of the CANCELED arm (`0x4bf832`, the dispatcher's one `SignalEvent`) where nothing had fired it; `ERR_INITIATE_TRADE_S` prints — it is client-emitted from inside the `CMSG_INITIATE_TRADE` sender, at once on a name-cache hit (`0x5d4042`) and from the query callback on a miss (`0x5d40ca`), so clicking Trade had produced no text in either direction; the three arms that name a player (0/5/14) read the network handler's guid cell `[0xc4bed0]`/`[0xc4bed4]` behind the outbound-initiate latch `[0xc4bec8]` — `InitiateTrade 0x5d3fb0` writes the target's guid and then the latch, the `BEGIN_TRADE` arm writes the initiator's and no latch — which is what keeps a client that just ignored a trade from printing "X is ignoring you." to itself, and behind `0x468460(guid, TYPEMASK_PLAYER)`, a live-object test the initiate line does not share, so `NamedLine::needs_live_object` drops a status line the moment its player stops being streamed while an initiate line waits; a network-cell clear is not a window close: `0x4bf4e0` has four call sites in the dispatcher — one opens, `{3, 8, 12}` close — and the other fourteen run the handler's tail `0x5d490a`, which drops the latch and the pending guid and leaves the window standing, so `close()` splits into `close_window()` and `clear_pending()`; `REJECTED` drops only the partner's accept, `BACK_TO_TRADE` reaches `0x4bf230(0)` and sends `CMSG_UNACCEPT_TRADE` on a real change, `ONLY_CONJURED` bounces the offending slot out of our own offer; `CLOSE_WINDOW`'s message is deliberately not built (`0x4bfd70` maps `result` over a 61-id range with a flagged self/other polarity inconsistency, and vmangos never sends status 12); and `ERR_TRADE_BLOCKED_S`'s transcribed English literal is deleted along with `ChatLog::pending_texts` (2042)
- both halves of B373's lighting closed: `MeshTag` bits 6..=13 mean two things — the exterior payload's ground-shade byte and the low eight bits of the interior payload's 13-bit probe slot — and the overlap cannot be removed (the four mode-independent fields cost 19 bits, leaving 13 for a payload region the two modes want 21 of), so the payload question becomes a witness the accessors demand: `mesh_tag::ExteriorPayload` is a zero-sized proof only `exterior_payload(on_bake_law, own_probe)` mints, when both probe-slot populations answer no, and `with_shade`/`shade_of` take it, so no expression in the crate reaches those bits without having asked; `describe` alone reads the raw masks and prints both readings (2041); and a transport's deck cargo is lit by its own doodad def, not by the boat (B373): a transport's WMO is linked into the same global `TSExplicitList<CMapObjDef>` at `0xca7d98` the ordinary scene walk iterates, so its MODDs are ordinary doodad defs; `[def+0xa4]` has exactly four writers image-wide — the ctor `0x6a7d73` (0.0), the doodad-set commit `0x695bb3` (1.0), the ADT MDDF commit `0x6b01bb` (1.0) and the MCSH refresh `0x698cb4` (0.5) — and none is the light node, whose 2.5-producer and ramp are reachable only through `[obj+0xe0]`, a path a doodad def never takes; the MCSH sample is one-shot (`0x698c50` unlinks each entry) and its null-tile legs return lit; so we had the wrong source, the wrong cadence and the wrong mechanism: `entity_shade::DoodadDefLit` marks every WMO-gameobject prop batch from inside the placed-model assembler — the engine asserts it, not the caller; the world-API wall failed the first cut, and a following card is reachable only there — both shade write sites skip it on ownership, separately from 2041's payload question, and exterior props take one `doodad_ground_shade` at their own footprint at spawn, frozen, which answers lit for a non-resident tile so a boat at sea needs no special case and the unverified "a boat is never MCSH-shadowed" goes; 749 prop parts under a shade root carry the marker on a live run — the same 749 B373 measured reading a foreign probe — and the ADT doodad path is deliberately untouched, since the D3D capture's measured 2.5 gain outranks the closure (2047)
- 2043's unit-predicate law is confirmed byte-exact by the round it dispatched — all 29 `Unit*` predicates push the constant double 1.0 or nil, exactly one value at every live `ret`, and a BFS from all 83 bindings in `0x850438` reaches 460 functions without hitting `lua_pushboolean` — and three of its supporting citations are corrected in the comments, no behaviour changing: `lua_pushboolean 0x6f39f0` EXISTS with seven call sites, one of them the registered FrameScript binding `IsPetAttackActive 0x4be0e0`, which answers a real true/false and never nil (ours already did, and its doc already named itself the exception), so 2043's "no boolean on its binding surface at all" is withdrawn for the scoped claim 1830 actually made; `IsEnabled` is `0x7800b0`, not `0x780270` (that is `SetButtonState`), and its number-1-or-0-never-nil fact stands; and `UnitReaction 0x5167e0` pushes `0x6061e0(u1, u2)` PLUS ONE, so 0 is unreachable and its nil means only that a token did not resolve — our `reaction == 0` → nil stays, named now as a feed gap rather than a mechanism the binary does not have (2048)

SamandClaude Fable 5.1 44803419a7 the model pane takes the file's camera, and the who list sorts
- the `<Model>` widget's perspective leg: a pane whose file supplies the camera it selected renders through a camera of its own whose viewport is its own cell of the same tile atlas — the reference's structure, one target, a viewport per widget, depth cleared per widget — with the composite, packer and reaper untouched; the selection is RAW (`0x76cec0` reads the count off `MD20+0x124` and the record at `[model+0x3c4] + idx·0x84 + 0x80`, `cameraLookup` never consulted), so `M2Model::cameras` is the whole table in file order and `benilla-extract m2cam` prints it, reproducing wow-re's numbers to the digit; the camera is two fields because the reference has two — `+0x320` a PENDING index and `+0x31c` the installed one — and while a request is pending the pane paints nothing (`76d5f0`'s draw gate, now the paint list's own filter); an index past the count installs the NULL camera, which IS the orthographic leg every shipped in-game pane takes; the projection is the booths' byte-derived diagonal-FOV matrix at the pane's aspect, and the eye and target ride the model's root transform as `0x718960`'s publish does — so `SetFacing` cancels along with `SetPosition` and `SetModelScale`, a contradiction with a wow-re note that went out as a §5 round and came back agreeing: the up vector `0x7ac640` builds is model-space +Z at roll 0, the very axis the facing turns about, and the note's sentence is scoped to `<PlayerModel>`'s frozen camera; each perspective camera takes a render layer of its own from a pool of eight, the orthographic camera clears the atlas and every perspective one clears only depth; `SetLight` is a typed `CGLight` that folds each intensity into its colour, normalises a direction on write, quantizes to 8 bits, returns before the copy on `SetLight(0, …)` and reads the second intensity at index 8 on a short ambient block; the five fog verbs are built (`ClearFog` is `76f5c5 and [edi+0x3a4],-2`, bit 0 alone), so the `Model` UNBUILT list is empty for the first time since 1134; a pane that arms a light or fog takes a rig from a lazily-grown pool, and the tiles' material twins — never reaped since the cache was written — are; `WOW_PROBE_MODEL_CAMERA=1` reads the renderer's own camera back for the three cancellations, `pass=5 fail=0` (2027)
- the layout cache writes in the shutdown tail: an unlocked chat window's size and position did not survive `/logout` or `/reload` and `benilla-config/layout/` was never created (B353) — the lane was right (1.12.1 persists a chat window through `StartMoving`/`StartSizing` and the engine's userPlaced bit; no `SetChatWindowSaved*` verb exists in the 5875 FrameXML), but `UiLayoutPlugin` hung its flush on `OnExit(InWorld)`, which a `/reload` never leaves, its debounced writer was never registered in `Update` at all, and on the roots where the edge did fire the VM-reading saver raced `end_ui_session`'s VM replacement on the same unordered edge (measured: the placement moves with nothing but registration positions); the reference's UI shutdown `0x490bd0` has an ordered tail — `PLAYER_LOGOUT` (`0x490c2a`) → `layout-cache.txt` (`0x490c79`) → the flat saved file (`0x490c7e`) → the per-addon files → `AddOns.txt` — on the same five roots as SavedVariables, `/reload` included, so `save_now` joins `shutdown_ui_state` in that slot, one call site reached from every root, and its own edges are deleted; the debounce stays as the crash writer and only that, a deliberate divergence, and the chat-look flush next door is pinned `.before(end_ui_session)` (2029); the VM gets its font engine at the LOAD edge: the measurer was seated only from an `Update` system on the first frame the glyph atlas exists, but `ReloadUI()` mints a fresh VM and runs the in-game load in the same exclusive slot, so every `<OnLoad>` and every addon's file scope measured 0 through the whole reload (`LOAD MEASURE ZERO` live, 33.185 after) — `seat_text_measurer` is one construction site called from both edges; the options tabs fit once from `<OnShow>`, the `OptionsTab_FitWidth` OnUpdate poll and its `fitted` latch gone, because `GetStringWidth` answers in the region's own units and this window's 0.78 scale is applied in the window's own `<OnShow>` after every `<OnLoad>` — an OnLoad fit read 73.19 where the settled value is 76.47; the settled widths are unchanged to the last digit (76.467232 / 91.661896) and the one-frame 72/87 flash at every open goes; four comments that still called the text measure a frame late, and seven gossip-suite comments that put `UIPanelScrollFrameTemplate` in our `ScrollTemplates.xml` when it lives in the reference's `UIPanelTemplates.xml`, are corrected (2028)
- the `/who` sort is a seven-key chain, not "order by the clicked column" (B365): the reference keeps seven `{key, dir}` slots at `0xc2817c`, seeded zone → level → class → group → name → race → guild; `SortWho` (`0x5ad890`) promotes the clicked key to the front and flips its direction ONLY when it was already there — Name, Name reverses, Name, Level, Name restores what the first click left — and the comparator `0x5ada00` walks the chain as tie-breakers, most-recently-used first, through an ASCII fold (`A`–`Z` by `+0x20`, not a Unicode one), the three DBC arms comparing the localized name out of `ChrClasses`/`ChrRaces`/`AreaTable` where ours had sorted by raw id, and an unresolved row TIES (its miss jumps to `0x5adbb2`, the chain loop's own `inc esi`); the click fires `WHO_LIST_UPDATE` synchronously through `SignalEvent` at `0x5ad9ed`, so the binding promotes and sorts the snapshot and the handler repaints before the OnClick returns, where ours redrew a tick later — a redraw one click stale reads exactly like a header that does nothing; the chain is process state (initialised once from `0x401666`), so it survives a logout; the rider from the same carve: `SMSG_WHO` has two exits, and with `SetWhoToUI` clear more than three rows go to the frame with nothing printed and three or fewer to chat (`0x5adfcc jl`, `eax = 3`) where we printed every unclaimed answer; and wow-re's §11 round corrected the first build before it landed — the chat lines come out in WIRE order with the total line LAST, because `0x5ae0a1` composes each line inside the parse loop and the `qsort` at `0x5ae0e2` sits past its back-edge (2030)
- two lighting reports, one frame and one bit each: the surfacing hitch (B354) is a one-frame stale atmosphere — `update_time_lighting` is late by construction, waiting on the wire drain, the weather tick and the submersion verdict, and five `Update` systems that read the `WowLighting` it resolves declared no ordering, so the executor handed each of them last frame's value, deterministically and invisibly while the atmosphere drifts a minute at a time; at a submersion crossing it jumps, on the very frame the sky and cloud domes un-hide, so the first dry frame painted `LightParams` 27's underwater sky over a dry world (the clip's blue frame, (58, 137, 173) against the settled (53, 58, 34)) and `tick_clouds`' surfacing full-rebuild ran at the underwater cloud density, 0.0, rebuilding an empty field that crept back over 0.4 s — the fix for the pop-in handing the symptom straight back; `LightingConsumeSet` names the read side of `LightingResolveSet`, tied in one place, and four consumers join it, the FFX haze and warp are ordered after the verdict they had the same hole against, and two tests enforce it — zero ambiguities between the two sets, and a source scan over `benilla-world` that fails any `WowLighting` reader not in the set; `emit_minimap` is left stale knowingly because joining cost a 178th item through the world API wall; `WOW_FORCE_SUB=<frames>` holds the eye verdict submerged and releases it, so the crossing reproduces server-less (2032); the black furniture below a boat's deck (B373): `MeshTag` bits 6..=13 are the exterior payload's ground-shade byte and bits 6..=18 the interior payload's SH-probe slot, and `entity_shade` guarded the overlap by asking whether a part was on the interior classifier's Bake law — one of the TWO populations holding a probe slot; the other is a lit interior MODD prop, which a WMO-display GameObject parents under the net entity so it sails with the deck, putting it inside the light node's descendant walk — so every frame the boat's shade byte was written over each prop's slot, `(slot & 0x1f00) | byte`: a neighbouring prop's light where that row was live, a zeroed row — solid black — where it was not; the guard now asks the payload question (`probe_payload`) at both write sites, the tag's bits and the marker derived from one binding; measured live at Ratchet, 749 of 749 resident interior prop parts renamed before, 0 of 640 after, and both ledger leads refuted at the bytes — the MODD colours are healthy (`floor112` raises even `#010101` to diffuse 112) and the fold is rigid-motion invariant since every 1.12 transport authors zero MOLR lights; a prop's mouseover identity now names its lane, words and probe slot, and `WOW_PICK` prints `model_flags.z` (2031); the sea-crossing probe can now measure the seam a report names — an explicit `WOW_PROBE_DOCK` goes first, boards only once the body stands at the dock, carries a map id, takes only a candidate within boarding distance, and drops onto the deck rather than into the hull, because a taxi node's `z` is the WATERLINE for the sea ferries while their decks stand ~16 yd above it — and the seam re-anchor returns the cycle it moved to or `None`, so a healthy crossing no longer logs the server's 9.7 h uptime as a skew inside a 350 s cycle

SamandClaude Fable 5.1 e800974806 still frames skip settled work, and a guild can design its tabard
- on a still frame the world stops redoing settled work — each cut an exact gate, measured with the process pinned to the efficiency cores, where the main thread IS the frame: point lookups go through the water index, a terrain column tests its cell's four fan triangles, not the chunk's 256 (−1.3 ms), the flare march resolves its tile once, the static-world publish and light blob write only on change, billboards, emitter gates (off the new-portal edge), doodad-anim verdicts, the visibility walk, the unit publisher (its filter a named type), a rampless unit's alpha and the stable feed skip when nothing moved, the rig evaluator reuses its scratch, dormant emitters skip their step, child wiring visits pending emitters only, the shade map persists, and the terrain streamer skips its walk once settled; alone parked 25.4 → 21.6–22.8 ms of main thread, 32 → 36–38 fps there with nothing on screen (1979, 1982)
- the UI tick got the same treatment: a solo run's colour rides the material, not the mesh — the glow pulse's one `Assets<Mesh>` write a frame had armed bevy's asset-changed probes over ~44 k `Mesh3d` rows (−1.0 ms); script object ids index a dense map instead of a hash, where every scripted method call starts (−0.7 ms); the draw list is fingerprint-cached, walked every frame and sorted only when it changed (the list a named type); and the instrument that made the gates count at all: the first battery read flat until the probe printed how many frames each gate input had read as changed — `noisy=[cam:0,dbg:299,view:0,win:0,claim:0]` — one dev system took `&mut` on `DebugState` every frame to test a flag, so bevy marked it changed on 299 of 300 frames and silently disarmed every gate reading `debug.is_changed()`; it reads the flag first now, and the counters stay on the probe line (1982)
- two of the new gates were wrong the day they landed and are fixed in the same snapshot: the streamer's settled skip engaged the frame `complete` flipped, with the retained pass still baking the new cells, and froze the undrawn count `presentable()` reads above zero — the loading screen stayed up for good after a `.tele`; it now waits for a paced, presentable, complete world and keeps that count fresh; and the still-frame gates read the camera's `GlobalTransform`, which moves only after propagation — which runs after them — so a teleport frame carried every host's pre-snap verdict across the snap (a lamppost glow due to park kept its clock, over-bright after the `.tele`); the gates read the seat's own `Transform` write too (1982)
- a guild master can design the guild's tabard: the reference's own `TabardFrame.xml` joins the manifest (benilla never had the window), opened only from the wire — the click ladder's TabardDesigner arm now sends `MSG_TABARDVENDOR_ACTIVATE` and the Battlemaster arm its own hello (1861's two deviations retire); the `TabardModel` method table runs over five ints bounded by the `.rdata` table `{170, 17, 6, 17, 51}`, the design previews on the player's own body so the pane and the world show one look, and `Save` runs the fourteen pre-flight checks in the reference's order; the world frame is the reference's own `WorldFrame.xml` too — the framerate readout is live on CTRL-R — and the carve settled its kind: a `Frame` to Lua, a one-shot type, the sole tenant of stratum WORLD, and not "over the UI" when hovered, so world clicks and camera look stay live while its scripts fire (1977, 1983, 1984)

SamandClaude Fable 5 b15902b135 six lanes stop paying for the idle crowd, and Print Screen lands
- Print Screen takes a screenshot to `benilla-config/Screenshots/` (F13 on macOS), shows the reference's "Screen Captured" line, and the line never appears in the file — the capture defers one frame so the hidden confirmation's quads rebuild first; and the rule it surfaced is now hard law: benilla never writes anything into the WoW install
- 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
- overhead names take the V-plates' 20-yard cap, read at the bytes (this one is wrong and reverts in the next snapshot — the law belongs to the other nameplate system)
- the calendar lifts out of the `date()` global into its own module

SamandClaude Fable 5 a53a58128c opening a chest kneels you, and outdoors elects what it draws
- 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

SamandClaude Fable 5 4ff2a8ebcf performance night: the interface splices and the walks go filtered
- a single animating entry — the resting blink, a sweeping cooldown — now re-converts alone and stitches into last frame's interface quads instead of dragging the whole batch through conversion, and the staleness sweep stops allocating
- two physics levers measured and flipped: entity clusters and the pre-step transform propagation both default off, −0.28 and −0.40 ms at the Stormwind gates
- the per-frame hygiene basket: env lookups cached once, both mouseover walks filtered by archetype instead of touching every streamed object, ground-shade cards resolve to their nearest shaded root, the nameplate steady frame stops allocating and stops dirtying transforms
- new meters for what remains: an animation memo-sizing counter and a lever that prices the physics stack's rate

SamandClaude Fable 5 8eea16157c benilla-world: the engine becomes its own crate
- the world engine splits from the game into a benilla-world crate — 112 files, and the wall is ratcheted to zero names of the game inside the engine
- the engine's public doorway is counted and gated at 32 items, and the render materials, shaders and asset cache move down to benilla-assets
- the game's files leave the engine's asset root — game:// is its own space — and a spike binary boots the engine with no game attached
- weather rides along: snowfall emission is denominated in the reference's frame cap, and a long teleport retires the stranded precipitation field instead of leaving it behind
