- a slider with a value step snaps to it: a stepped drag fires once per row instead of once per pixel, a scrollbar cannot rest between two rows, and one wheel notch on the trainer list reaches the bottom (2133)
- setting a step on a live slider moves its value onto the new lattice and runs its handler, which an addon on the real client can count on (2143)
- a button pushed from script releases on the next mouse-up, so Tablet-2.0's rows stop staying pressed forever; a release off the button's rect un-presses it, and a locked state holds (2134)
- the mail body and the GM ticket box scroll as you type past their bottom, and the Use UI Scale checkbox reads a registered setting (2141)
- an engine warning, a call that was accepted and did nothing, reaches the /errors window in grey instead of one terminal line; a text row trimmed mid-character no longer kills the window's repaint (2135, 2138)

- loading two LoadOnDemand addons that depend on each other loads both instead of killing the client with a stack overflow; each is counted loaded before its own files run, as on the real client (2139)
- the memory report gets its second number, so AceAddon-2.0's memory line (36 copies in the corpus) stops raising and pfUI's panel prints a figure where it printed UNAVAILABLE; garbage collection takes a number and answers nothing, like 1.12's (2136)
- a disabled addon you have uninstalled keeps its row in AddOns.txt through a logout, and a hand-edited name keeps its spelling instead of taking the folder's case (2139)
- a loaded chunk's error lines name it the way the real client does, and a /console argument containing ]] no longer trips a syntax error the 1.12 lexer would raise (2136)

- the cooldown pie, the GCD sweep, minimap pings and the map arrow draw again after a logout, login or /reload; they went blank until a restart, which read as OmniCC killing the cooldowns (2113)
- an addon's own font on a button label keeps its face, size and outline instead of being undone every frame, MikScrollingBattleText's reported look (2112)
- an empty label reads as nothing rather than an empty string, so Cartographer's map label keeps its colour; a slider thumb with no authored size takes its art's own size, so Dewdrop's Look'n'Feel slider moves (2109, 2110)
- Bagnon's saved bag list comes back in the order it was written, so the keyring stops jumping to the front after a restart; hovering a Bagnon bag costs a third of what it did (2111, 2114)

- five idle minutes sit you down and flag you AFK, thirty log you out through the ordinary countdown; holding a key is idle, moving the mouse is not, and a swimmer stays afloat (2092)
- a knockdown no longer wedges: the landing froze the clip that held the base-animation lock, leaving a knocked-down player on their back for the session (2098); the perf cost pill starts hidden (2099)
- Lua is exactly 1.12's 5.0 — no vararg expression, no #, no %, the remembered table size — so Cartographer loads without errors and Mik's Scrolling Battle Text shows its text, in its own shipped font now that addon TTFs load (2101, 2102, 2103)
- a widget name is a Lua global for SetPoint and its kin, so Bartender2's bars spread out; a button's NormalText disowns its justify, the raise renumbers hidden frames too, and a missing toc file warns instead of erroring (2105, 2100, 2104, 2107, 2106)

- the tooltip is the reference's own file: `GameTooltip.xml` loads off the chain, ours is deleted, and every verb it calls was already bound, so this is a plain swap; retired with it: the `$parentThicken` plate fill that thickened the plate from the art's ~73% to ~84% opacity — the reference's plate is the raw `UI-Tooltip-Background` tint, and that is what ships; the one engine fact the transcription had been hiding: the reference's instance declares no size, and a frame with one anchor and no size resolves to NO rect under the reference's own layout law — our declared size had been a harness crutch (1968); and the dressing room goes stock with `<DressUpModel>` as a widget kind (factory `0x495c00`): a `PlayerModel` plus its own `Undress`/`Dress`/`TryOn`, where `Undress` strips the body and not the hands, and Close is read off the window since the stock OnHide queues nothing (1969)
- the mail window and the auction house are the reference's own: `MailFrame.xml` loads off the chain and brings the stationery picker, invoice pane and autocomplete ours had left out; the stationery family is built off wow-re's carve over a list computed off `Stationery.dbc` rows × the player's bags (`0x622270`, not the bank); the selection rides `CMSG_SEND_MAIL` field 6 and a send with none silently aborts; its two events fire where the client fires them (1970); `Blizzard_AuctionUI` loads on demand from the `AUCTION_HOUSE_SHOW` arm, and three root fixes its Lua surfaced: `GetAuctionItemClasses()` is static — read at the addon's load, before any session, so the class tree is a login-scoped push; `SetAuctionCompareItem` (`0x535d70`) on the vendor compare's one body; `NEW_AUCTION_UPDATE` resets the create form; its dressing-room pane shares the app's one room (1971)
- the battleground keeps score: `WorldStateFrame.xml` loads off the chain and ours is deleted; the stock file is three things where ours was one: the readout, the capture bars, and the battleground scoreboard this client never had, built off wow-re's round — `MSG_PVP_LOG_DATA` both ways (throttled to 5000 ms client-side, `0x4aa170`) and `CMSG_LEAVE_BATTLEFIELD`; eleven score verbs over a board the app pushes, where the filter is a SORT, not a compaction — team first, killing blows descending, deaths ascending, honor descending, name — so the filtered count shrinks while `GetBattlefieldScore` still reaches every wire row; `HIDE_OUTDOOR_WORLD_STATE` joins the options uvar block, a capture point is a bar, and the scoreboard and battlefield-minimap toggles become bound specs at the install's own `SHIFT-SPACE`/`SHIFT-M` (1972)
- the trade skill and craft windows go stock as `Blizzard_TradeSkillUI`/`Blizzard_CraftUI` on demand, from the reference's own UIParent arms; our two transcriptions are deleted; the four item-link verbs are built off wow-re's carve on the client's link builder (`0x52adb0`) — zero values on any miss, `GetTradeSkillReagentItemLink` raising Blizzard's own typo'd Usage, kept, and `GetCraftItemLink` the `|Henchant:` link in fixed white; `SetTextColor`'s channels coerce nil to 0 on FontString, Font and Button where ours had raised (1973); and the Inspect, Talent, Macro and Raid addons load on demand — `benilla.toc` lists no `Interface\AddOns` row, and below level 10 the talent addon is never even loaded; the gates walk every reached addon and found `Blizzard_GMSurveyUI`'s four engine verbs nothing answers, reachable only through `GMSURVEY_DISPLAY`, which nothing fires (1889; 1967)

- every dialog is the reference's own: `StaticPopup.xml` + `StaticPopup.lua` load off the player's chain, and 0308's engine with its 37 dialogs leaves `UiPanels.xml`; all 76 of the reference's dialogs are the stock table's, 28 of which no file of ours had ever registered (the resurrect family among them); the nine hidden listener frames that existed only because benilla once had no `UIParent_OnEvent` come home to it verbatim from UIParent.lua, and the seven files that were nothing but a dialog and its driver are deleted; what the swap surfaced: the reference capitalises the countdown's unit word ("5 Minutes until release") where ours had lowercased it, and ESC in the typed delete confirm's box is swallowed — the entry names no escape handler; arms for events this engine never fires (PLAYER_SKINNED, TRADE_REQUEST) wait on their feeds rather than being armed blind (1960)
- the social window and the unit menus are the reference's own files: `FriendsFrame.xml` loads off the chain and our transcription is deleted — its twelve dialogs re-homed, `FRIENDLIST_SHOW` fired as the answer to an explicit `ShowFriends()`, and `Get`/`SetLookingForGroup` a client-side flag until their bodies are carved; `UnitPopup.xml` loads off the chain, our row catalogue and its driver frame go, and nine verbs are built for it — `HasFullControl` off the player-control flag the reference reads at `0x51a158`, `UnitPlayerOrPetInParty`/`InRaid` over a new unit owner, and the six pet one-shots, each pressing the bar's own reaction or command slot word through the same latch and `CMSG_PET_ACTION`, confirmed by wow-re's carve; the Guild Leave/Promote confirms 1958 believed nothing registered were our social file's all along, and the duplicate went with it (1958, 1959)
- the trainer loads on demand: our `TrainerFrame.xml` is deleted and no row replaces it — `Blizzard_TrainerUI` loads off the player's own chain through the reference's `ClassTrainerFrame_LoadUI`, and the LoadOnDemand `Blizzard_*` addons are registry rows read off the chain; the timing IS the mechanism: the list builder writes the state-filter mask to 3 on every `SMSG_TRAINER_LIST` (`0x4d75d9`) and the stock addon pushes its saved filters exactly once, on its own ADDON_LOADED — which fires on the session's first trainer, after that packet, so the saved filters win that open and an eager load would never have applied them; the loader holds an anchor to a sibling not built yet and applies it once the subtree exists; and `UNIT_FLAGS` fires only on a change between two snapshots — wow-re's trio found the per-field watch bridge runs no notify pass on the create leg, correcting 1953 (1957)
- the additive window, built and withdrawn the same hour: under `BLEND_ADD` every additive particle draw commutes with every other, so same-key additive draws can be regrouped exactly — built in the effect lane's merge walk and measured on the crowd rig (Stormwind, forty partybots): the adjacency merge already folds about half the effect items and the regroup found two more folds in a frame of ninety-three, so the pre-regroup walk is what runs; what stays: an `fx=` items/merged census on the FPS probe line, a `DRESS_PART` line per drawn part of the self body on the dress census, and the regression the A/B uncovered: 1948's stock chat migration dropped the drain's plain-line sender, so every `WOW_PROBE_CHAT` rig — the crowd rig's forty `.partybot add`s among them — had gone silent on the server; a probe's slash-less line reaches the wire as SAY again (1955)

- the bag windows are the reference's own `ContainerFrame.xml` running off the player's patch chain — decision 1751 makes the stock 1.12 UI off the install the end state and `assets/ui` scaffolding that retires file-by-file (86 files against the 99-file stock corpus, 72% of the 1128-function global surface already built) — via one ordered manifest, `benilla.toc`, where a bare name is a file we ship and an `Interface\FrameXML\` path is the player's own file; the windows on screen are `ContainerFrame1..12`, the bank's six copy-pasted popouts fold into them at ids 5..10, net −750 lines, and the swap forced real engine verbs into being rather than stubs (`SetBagPortaitTexture` with its id-0 no-texture arm, `GameTooltip:AppendText`, `SetButtonPulse`, and a `<Model>` whose file is the cooldown indicator materializing as the native sweep, which three corpus addons inherit)
- the 1.12 walk toggle lands: `TOGGLERUN` latches one bit with `ToggleRun`'s own silent refusal chain (dead, rooted, on a live server spline), and the walk animation was never missing at all — the flag reaches it through exactly one channel, the speed (`0x5fd100` picks Walk over Run on `speed > 2 × walkSpeed`); pinning it caught our remote extrapolator with the two min rungs backwards — `min(walk, run)` runs BEFORE the backward min, so a walking backpedaller moves at 2.5 yd/s where we would have played them the Run clip at 4.5 — and one shared `current_speed` now keeps the local controller and the extrapolator from ever disagreeing about it
- the instance and raid lockout messages exist — six packets that were dropped as unknown opcodes now land, four of them as the CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM lines the client composes itself, which is why no Lua handler ever surfaced them — plus `IsInInstance`, `ResetInstances`, and the unit popup's "Reset all instances" row behind the reference's own predicate; where the binary contradicts vmangos: the ownership flag means "any instance bind" but vmangos only ever names raid binds, so the row was dead for every character without a raid lockout — term 1 is now also satisfied by our own eyes, walking out of a party dungeon the server itself bound us to
- opening the world map showed 3D world at the sheet's margins: `BlackoutWorld` was parented to the very `UIParent` a fullscreen panel hides, and three more frames had crossed the same boundary — the shared dropdown lists (so the map's continent and zone pickers answered a click with nothing at all), the master-looter menu, and the screenshot confirmation, which could never appear during a cinematic; `frame_flag_gate` now checks the parent seat against the reference both ways a frame acquires one (the attribute, template-inherited included, and `<Frames>` nesting), and its first harvest took 30 divergences down to three accepted ones

- the camera auto-follow returns, as a setting: Camera Following Style on the Controls options page — Smart (the default), Always, Never — so after an orbit drag the camera swings back behind you while you run; far sight still forces the chase off
- broken addons announce themselves: world entry prints "3 addon load failures — type /errors to see them", and the `/errors` window lists every script error this session with its traceback — 256 deduplicated rows, repeats collapsing onto a count — while the five load-failure classes that only ever hit the terminal (missing .toc, unparseable FrameXML, dependency cycles…) finally get a channel
- B opens the backpack alone, SHIFT-B opens all bags, F8–F11 toggle the individual slots — the reference's six bag commands instead of one command wearing every chord; and the Skills page gets its CLOSE button, with the ALL fold in the row font
- cmangos-classic logons work: `CMSG_AUTH_SESSION` now carries the real client's twelve secure-addon records (342 bytes, compressing to 130) — an empty addon block is a shape no client can send, and cmangos kicks for it where vmangos shrugs; Warden-enabled anticheat remains a separate wall

- the paper doll and the character-select stage animate again: a staged rig is fenced off the world's frustum parker, which had been freezing every booth half a second after its bake
- 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

- an addon's own texture files resolve from its folder, TGA included, and SetTexture answers 1 or nil the way the client does — custom icons and skins draw
- runtime SetParent re-levels a frame by the client's strata law, and the raise survives hide-and-show round-trips — AtlasLoot layers right
- an addon that unregisters an event mid-fire no longer robs the next addon of the same event — Bagnon's per-character database fills again
- the Model widget's clock truncates milliseconds like the client's, and the no-text cast-bar law is confirmed at the bytes and narrowed to the cast bar alone

- an addon error shows the red script-error dialog the reference shows, and a runaway load loop can no longer freeze world entry
- food and drink show stack counts from the first login, and a paladin's aura bar lights the aura that is actually on
- logging out no longer erases the character from saved-bag addons: the player's absence is no data
- MPQ patches are discovered the way the client discovers them, and a slow arrival holds in place instead of falling through the world

- SetBinding accepts the mouse wheel — the refusal was ours, not the client's — so wheel-bound action buttons press and release like the real thing
- one addon load law: a single arbiter for "can this addon load, and why not", with the out-of-date version gate live
- one AddOns screen — the character-select list, wearing the authored reference layout: roster dropdown, per-character tri-state checkboxes, force-load; the ESC-menu panel is retired, since 1.12's own menu has no AddOns row
- the glyph atlas follows the window scale, so maximised text stops washing out and a title stops measuring wider than it draws; an unpositioned frame positions nothing, instead of landing at the screen origin

- Lua 5.0's generic-for and nested long strings are restored in a forked VM — 60 corpus addons stopped dying on one deleted opcode
- a day of demand-driven carving takes the 218-addon corpus from 24 addons surviving a session start to 114, with 144 loading without a single error
- Bagnon draws a real bag and answers real gestures — hover tooltip, pickup, use, drag — because our frames wear the reference's names, and the reference's own ContainerFrame.lua runs off the player's install instead of being transcribed
- the physics broad phase leaves: nothing in the client reads a contact, and it was measured at up to 41% of main-thread samples in real sessions

- benilla loads real 1.12 addons from Interface/AddOns — TOC, XML and Lua through one loader, with per-addon saved variables, Bindings.xml and the lifecycle events addons expect
- both AddOns screens are in: the character-select list with per-addon enable state, and the ESC menu's in-game list
- the API surface is measured, not guessed — a corpus harness runs hundreds of real 1.12 addons and ranks exactly which globals, templates and verbs they demand
- the Lua dialect is the client's own, read off the binary — 5.0 semantics with the 1.12 additions, and UI source files are bytes, not UTF-8
