ui: MOD multiplies, and a gradient is not an alternative to a fill
Cinematic's colour tint painted the whole screen opaque white for as long as its
CineMode ran: `srgb(255,255,255)` across the world with the UI still drawn on top
of it, 16.8 s of it in grom's 2026-11-02 recording, starting the instant he picked
a profile. Three faults on the one path from the addon's call to the pixel, each
of them enough on its own.
`SetBlendMode("MOD")` parsed, answered `GetBlendMode` and then drew as straight
alpha. One pipeline served BLEND and ADD — the shader emitting `(rgb·a, a)` or
`(rgb·a, 0)` into a single `(One, OneMinusSrcAlpha)` state — because no scalar
source alpha can stand in for a per-channel destination factor, and the mode had
no caller worth a second pipeline. It had one: nine of the addon's ten tint
presets are MOD (`Tint.lua:21`), and a MOD colour is built to be multiplied —
`1 − (1 − c)·strength` at **alpha 1**, white at strength 0 — so drawn with alpha
instead it is an opaque near-white quad over UIParent. MOD now keys its own
pipeline, `(Dst, Zero)` with the destination's own alpha kept, off the same
`0x70c190` table the world's Mod batches already read; the shader returns the
multiplier un-premultiplied, since neither alpha appears in that formula, and runs
no longer merge across the flag.
The extract read `fill.or_else(|| gradient.map(midpoint))`, so a region that set
both drew the fill and dropped the gradient. They are not alternatives:
`<Gradient>` writes the four vertex colours (`+0xb8`, `0x77304d`), which
`loader/regions.rs` already reads as "unlike `<Color>` it tints the art". The tint
is exactly that shape — `SetColorTexture(1, 1, 1, 1)` once, re-gradiented a few
times a second — and so is its vignette, whose four edges were drawing as opaque
white bars.
And `SetGradient` took only 1.12's six loose numbers. This client answers
`CreateColor`, so an addon that feature-detects takes retail's colour-object form
and never tries the numbers; the two objects coerced to six zeros through
`as_f32`, the call **succeeded**, and the `pcall` that was the feature test
(`Tint.lua:546`) reported it understood. Both spellings now read a colour object
when the first stop is a table.

superwow: the chat bubbles are widgets — CREATE_CHATBUBBLE and pfUI's skin
The last real SuperWoW feature, and one piece of work closed three things: `CREATE_CHATBUBBLE` (which could not honestly be fired, because its payload can only be the bubble), `C_ChatBubbles.GetAllChatBubbles` (which answered an empty list, truthfully, for the same reason) and pfUI's whole bubble skin, which walks that list. `benilla-ui`'s `script/chat_bubble.rs` is a pool of real frames — anonymous WorldFrame children with a backdrop (`0x4b0a35` IS `SetBackdrop`), a tail texture and a FontString, which is what the reference's own `CGChatBubbleFrame` is and how addons of the era found bubbles before SuperWoW published the event. The app keeps everything a bubble's existence depends on — the spawn gate, the lifetime, the fade, the range re-test, the stacking sort and the text measurement that sizes the frame — and hands it over as `BubbleState`: the same split `vplates.rs` already makes for the plates, so the engine decides what is on screen, the widget layer decides what Lua sees, and neither can disagree about a bubble because there is one feed. Three things improved by the move rather than being preserved by it: - The bubbles sit at frame levels 2, 3, 4… over the V-plates at level 1, which is the reference's own order (`0x4b12d5`-`0x4b1312`). The quad band had them UNDERNEATH — a deviation `overlay_z` carried in a comment. That band is gone and the lane is down to one tenant. - The art is loaded, tiled and bleed-inset by the UI pass like any other frame's, so this file drops its own texture resource and its own half-texel inset helper. - The system moved BEFORE the paint. It sat in `UiQuadAppend`, the window *after* the extract: right for an appender, a frame late for a feed. The test that matters transcribes pfUI's own `ScanBubbles` loop — it finds the FontString with the line and its chat-type colour, blanks the one Texture region and parents its own frame to the bubble — and then checks the EXTRACT for drawn quads: both backdrop halves, the tail, and the text at the em the app measured the box with. A test that only checked the widgets would have passed with nothing on screen. Two architectural gates caught this and both were answered rather than silenced. The one-shot gate: `drive_bubbles` now holds the VM and drains a queue, so it is EXEMPT with the argument — the queue's product is app-side state, the widget sync is idempotent and binds on the first frame there is a WorldFrame, and gating the system instead would pile lines up and spawn them all at once with fresh lifetimes. The VM wall: its ceiling rises by one with the reason, which is that this file is `vplates.rs`'s exact twin. `CREATE_CHATBUBBLE` fires per APPEARANCE, not per pool slot ever built — the opposite of `NAME_PLATE_CREATED`'s rule, because a recycled frame has been re-anchored, re-sized and re-texted since it was last seen.

ui_pass: a resized image re-prepares the materials that sample it
A booth pane's render target is resized between 256 and 512 as the pane it is lent to changes size, and `GpuImage::prepare_asset` builds a brand-new texture and view every time it runs. Nothing re-prepares a material because an image it names changed — `PreparedMaterial2d` prepares from its own asset events alone — so the UI's cached quad material went on holding the dead view and sampled a texture nothing rendered into any more. That is what "the preview is frozen" was: the first window to claim a slot bound a live texture and every later one bound a corpse, while the camera kept rendering and the bakes kept restaging into the texture that was no longer on screen. The cards never froze because a 256 card never resizes its slot; the big previews, which are the only panes that ask for 512, froze every time. `rebuild_ui_mesh` already hears the image stream for removals. It now also hears `Modified` and touches every cached material naming that image, which re-extracts it and rebuilds the bind group against the image's current view. Only the two resize sites emit this event, so a steady frame does no work.

Chat bubbles are WorldFrame child frames, as in 1.12.1 (#925)
Chat bubbles were quads drawn straight into an overlay with no widget behind them, so `WorldFrame:GetChildren()` never returned them and bubble-skinning addons such as pfUI's found nothing. In the reference, a bubble is an anonymous Frame under WorldFrame from a reused pool: eleven regions (the nine backdrop pieces, the tail, the text in the `NAMEPLATE_FONT` global), the text's bottom on the speaker's projected point, its own fade, and an OnShow on each reuse. It fades out and hides when the speaker is out of range or was not drawn last frame. Bubbles are now built that way, fed by the app and drawn by the frame pass; the overlay path is gone. Item links show their bare names, and a speaker behind the camera fades out. Tests cover the child, its regions, a pfUI-style skin, reuse and the fades.

The core loads the chain's Bindings.xml and DefaultBindings.wtf, and every command runs its stock body (#587)
The core now loads the chain's `Interface\FrameXML\Bindings.xml` after the `FrameXML.toc` rows, as the reference's UI load does. The load checks the file at `0x48fff9` and loads it through the addons' loader `0x4b6f70` at `0x490018`. The default keys come from the chain's `WTF\DefaultBindings.wtf` (`0x4b62b0`). Every command now runs the stock file's own body, and the registry compiled into benilla, with its 91 retyped bodies, is deleted. - **The loader's rules (`0x4b6f70`).** It reads the root's children only and skips empty, `debug="true"` and non-Windows rows. A second definition of a name is skipped, and duplicate headers are refused. - **Keys and commands are separate tables, as in 1.12.** `SetBinding` never reads the command (`0x4b7490`). `RunBinding` runs the body in the VM. `RunCommand` sets `keystate` around the body and clears it after (`0x4b7c42`). - **Engine behaviour sits behind the Lua globals the bodies call.** These are the movement, turn and mouse-steer bits. Focus loss clears the direction bits and keeps the mouse pair (`0x514490`). One key's stop clears its bit, as `0x514b70` does, so releasing W while UP is held stops the character. - **Behaviour changes that follow the stock bodies.** - The nameplate keys (V, Shift-V, Ctrl-V) now run the stock bodies. - ALT-Z runs `CloseAllWindows(); UIParent:Hide()`. - The minimap, sound, stance and bonus-bar keys call their stock functions. - The wheel zooms one `CameraZoomIn(1.0)` per notch. - **Platform.** benilla answers as the PC build, so a `platform="mac"` row does not register on any OS. Verified: - New tests: a fixture `Bindings.xml` (reordered, edited, and with debug, empty, nested and Mac rows) drives the command list, defaults and bodies. The V keys follow the stock bodies. No stock body's text remains in the tree. Every stock body's calls resolve after a production load. Each test fails with its change undone. - `scripts/gates.sh` and `scripts/smoke.sh` are green. - A live run with `WOW_GM=off`: - W and Space moved and jumped. - B toggled the backpack. - 1 reached `UseAction`. - V, Shift-V and Ctrl-V behaved as the stock bodies do. Built on macOS; no platform seam touched. Fixes #570 Fixes #563 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

String literals and test names in benilla-app carry no record numbers (#368)
The strings pass for `benilla-app`, the last crate: string literals and test names lose the private record numbers and the workspace's words that a comment pass cannot touch. Fixes #92. Fixes #36. - **Messages.** About 230 assertion, panic, `expect` and log messages, printed tool labels, and comments inside embedded Lua fixtures drop their record numbers; the eight that named "the director" keep their fact in plain words. Stale claims in a few messages are corrected on the way (a cast-bar step, a font line, the every-shot recompute). - **Names.** Seven test and helper names that carried a record number or "director" now say what they check. `git grep` found no other use of any of them. - **Player files.** The key-bindings file's header and `config.toml`'s header each lose a record citation. Neither header is compared when the file is read back: the bindings reader skips every `#` line, and `config.toml`'s header is a TOML comment. - **Fixtures.** Test fixtures use neutral character, account and frame names. - **#36.** The quest-material test labels GameObject type 10 GOOBER (in 1.12, 3 is CHEST, 9 TEXT, 10 GOOBER); the code under test was already right, and the comments were fixed with the comment pass. - **Verification.** With comments stripped and every literal's contents masked, each file is identical to main and keeps its literals' line counts, apart from the renamed functions and one rustfmt reflow. `cargo fmt --check` is clean. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Comments in benilla-app, the UI script layer: one line of fact each, no history, no record numbers (#184)
Part of #41: the first of five `benilla-app` pieces. This one is the UI script layer: `ui_script` with its test harnesses, the text engine and layout (`ui_text`), the UI pass and the UI model panes. Its comments are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 22,041 comment lines become 7,133. - **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: - On a fresh login the reference fires `PLAYER_LOGIN` and `PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD` from the player's create (`0x5deb60` → `0x4908c0`); only a `/reload` goes through `0x490168`. The comments now state both paths. - `ComputeStep` (`0x5ca2d0`) applies negative pair kerns and rounds up. It does have a kerning term. - A fallback icon global and the retired `UiPanels.xml` panels no longer exist. The comments that named them now describe the stock FrameXML mechanism that replaced them. - Stock FrameXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files and corrected, and several misattributed files are fixed (`MainMenuBarArtFrame` lives in `MainMenuBar.xml`). - Dozens more turned up on the way: docs sitting on the wrong item, removed functions, 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 code, the stock files, vmangos and the reference. Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#183 among them). The comments here state what the code does. String literals are untouched; they are #92. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.

the loading screen lets nothing through, and the micro buttons go stock
- units could be hovered through the loading screen — the sword cursor gave it away: the world pick chain has no state gate, one of fifty-one input sites, so a gate per consumer is a rule that regresses; the cut is at the source instead — one `PreUpdate` system empties the button planes, drains the raw queues, zeroes the accumulators and blanks the window's cursor position while the cover is up (the alt-tabbed-away state every consumer already handles); a press under the cover never happened, a held button is released once, a gesture in flight is cancelled, and a wall test counts the channels; the reference does the same — its raise registers a veto stub (`0x406a50`) on five event-bus categories — and one gap closed with it: the reference parks the plain arrow and drops any item overlay before the screen goes up, where benilla kept a held item's icon over the loading art (1986, 1990) - the micro-button row is the reference's own `MainMenuBarMicroButtons.xml`, our transcription deleted — no engine verb was missing, and the whole engine-side cost is one alias, `SoundOptionsFrame = OptionsFrame`, because the stock file reads the reference's three options windows and ours is the one window for all three; what the stock file brings back: `UpdateTalentButton`'s own −2 re-seat (the five buttons after the talent button sit 1 px further right — the reference's own pixel), the raw binding token in the hover label (`(C)`, `(SHIFT-P)`), the sixty-second talent-button pulse on a ding while the sheet is closed (0304's scope-out retired), the keyring arm, and "Abilities" on the spellbook hover for a character with no spells; `BenillaActionBarArt_SeatAbove` goes with the file — a child is born one level above its parent (`SetParent` `0x76ab65`), the seat it set by hand (1987) - hovering the player arrow on the stock world map showed an empty tooltip: narrower than 4:3 the map is scaled under 1, and our `MouseIsOver` had dropped the reference's division by `GetEffectiveScale` as "always 1" — the frame getters answer in the frame's own units, `GetCursorPosition` in the screen's; the division is back, and the region getters divide by their owner's scale too; and the ready check times out: the stock `UIParent.xml` ticks `CheckReadyCheckTime` every frame, the one unbound name in that file's way, so the mechanism behind it is built — a 30 s deadline and a "has not answered" flag per roster entry, the leader getting no popup while members print "%s has initiated a ready check" and get it, and on expiry `RAID_MEMBERS_AFK` with the unanswered names or `READY_CHECK_NO_AFK`, the last answer closing the check at once (1985, 1989) - a review of the floor grind closed eight stale-input and bypassed-side-effect siblings the gates had left open: a never-placed card places on a still frame, the dormant-emitter skip sits below the emitter's lifetime blocks, PVS changes (not only spawns) un-still the gates, the appear ramp's retirement and a far-side unmark come due, a host born under a parked camera is judged, the projection counts as a still input, a fresh palette range is zeroed, the stable feed runs once more after a close, the unit publisher's viewer query is filtered, solo UI materials are reused by key, and the draw-list cache compares exactly; and three doc links the chat window's stock move (1948) left dangling point at what replaced them — the colour table and the tell ring are the stock Lua's now — which is what had the doc-links gate (1925) red on main Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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)

the minimap and world map go stock, and the chat loses its white plate
- the minimap cluster and the battleground list are the reference's own `Minimap.xml` and `BattlefieldFrame.xml`, ours deleted, and the sixteen engine names the static probe found unbound are built, not stubbed: the battleground list and queue family (the as-group join refused client-side with no packet when the map's `MaxPlayers` is below the group), the bodyless `CMSG_BATTLEFIELD_STATUS` on world enter — benilla never sent it, so a queue joined before a reconnect was invisible — the 5.5556 yd `BATTLEFIELDS_CLOSED` leash, and the meeting-stone pair over the `0x295` five-way table with both asymmetries; the ping's lifetime is the stock Lua's now (held 5 s, faded 0.5 s), `GetPingPosition` answers two numbers always — our nil was a Lua error on every frame of the stock `Minimap_OnUpdate` — and the map-change drop the reference never had is gone (1974)
- the world map is the reference's own `WorldMapFrame.xml`, our transcription deleted; built for it: the arrow-frame family (an anonymous `Model` child at its 33.6 px footprint, drawn app-side as the minimap's own arrow sprite through one shared constant), the battleground position family over `MSG_BATTLEGROUND_PLAYER_POSITIONS` both ways (the reference's 5000 ms request throttle), and `GetPlayerMapPosition` resolving `raid1..raid40` where it knew only the party (B320); `SetupFullscreenScale` — the engine binding `0x48c270` the map's and the cinematic frame's OnShow call, which our map had stood in for with Lua — is bound to the carved law `min(0.75 · aspect, 1)` off the configured aspect, written through the frame's own `SetScale` (1.0 at 4:3 and wider, 0.9375 at 5:4); a hovered POI writes the map's own area label, not the tooltip; named gap: `WorldMapPing` draws nothing yet (1980, 1981)
- the tutorial frame is the reference's own `TutorialFrame.xml`, over a tutorial system benilla never had: two bit banks filled from `SMSG_TUTORIAL_FLAGS` — the fire-once bank `TriggerTutorial` reads and sets (never a send) and the acknowledged bank `FlagTutorial` writes and sends; there is no tutorial CVar in the binary (210 `CVar::Register` sites censused), so "disable tutorials" is every bit acknowledged; the sites this app can produce are wired (the world-enter Welcome cascade, the level-up arm, item pushes, the loot sparkle, the meeting-stone and battleground arms), the rest named; the loader learned `<TitleRegion>` — the stock frame's drag handle, a region that emits no quad; and the `TabardModel` widget kind arrives ahead of its window, five ints bounded by the `.rdata` table `{170, 17, 6, 17, 51}` and the constant 100 000 tabard cost (1976, 1977)
- the chat window drew as an opaque white plate: the chat-cache loader, gated on `InWorld` alone, restored into the boot VM 130 ms before the deferred entry load filled it, and its per-VM memo then blocked the restore that would have reached the real frames — the plate the stock Lua tints black stayed the XML's white; between the entry edge and the load there is now no VM in the world (the edge parks the boot VM, the load takes it back), so no in-world feed pushes into a VM with no interface; the perf pill reads `59 fps 7.0 ms 17.3 cpu` — the MAIN thread's milliseconds in full text and the process-wide sum dim, because the sum of every thread's CPU time had been read as a frame time (a raid read 17 on it at a solid 60 with the main thread at 7); and `WOW_PROBE_UI_ONE_TEX=1` is a pricing lever, never a look, for the draw-count ceiling a UI atlas would reach before one is built (1978, 1954)

a 40-man raid costs less per frame, and the money frames go stock
- a 40-man raid cost +5 to +8 ms of CPU per frame — a population, not a hot function — and three cuts landed where it was measured: the rig palette upload sends one `write_buffer` per run, bridging the gaps parked bodies leave between live rigs (calls 93 → 3); a built material becomes an asset when something visible binds it, not when a spawner builds it — 9.9k material assets were alive for 36 drawn batches, so a material is realized only once bound and visible, readers that clone before binding doing it themselves through one new function in the engine's wall (172 → 173): a 17× cut in live GPU objects; and a body's batches spawn as material groups — a geared body stood as 12–27 mesh parts, its skin composite drawn as five separate batches, and two visible batches now join when nothing downstream can tell them apart: parts per body 17 → 12, the Stormwind raid leg 17.0–21.0 → 15.65–15.82 `cpu_ms` (1929, 1940) - the instruments that priced it, all on the probe line: wgpu's own resource census, because a sampled profile put roughly half of the pass encoder in usage trackers sized to the device's live buffer and texture counts — a term that scales with residency, not with what is drawn, and nothing printed the number; the active camera count, since every view is its own pass set; the UI's live texture-identity runs, one 2D draw each, which is the number a UI change moves, not the quad count; and parts and materials per dressed body on the dress census, the ceiling on merging a body's batches read off a real body instead of guessed from a model's batch table (1940) - the coin kit retires: every remaining money display — quest progress, the mail purse and postage, the trade recipient, the tooltip, the quest log, the trainer's purse and cost — moves onto the reference's `MoneyFrameTemplate`, each seat already matching ours; the progress panel's required-money flow is ported in full — `QuestFrame.lua:168-190` colours the FRAME red/white AND the LABEL black/dark-grey when the quest costs more than you hold, where ours had neither colour; the mail postage takes the reference's name and label, trade and mail issue no explicit update because the frames repaint on their own events, and the trainer's cost label is shown or hidden with its `local COSTS_LABEL` shadow deleted; with the trainer converted the hand-built coin trios have no consumer, so their templates and the `BenillaMoney_*` helpers are deleted and `MoneyFrame.xml` is the only money kit (1937) - the crowd-control ladder's aura exemption exists, and it is a join between two `Spell.dbc` records — each arm asks whether the spell being cast is itself an immunity covering the aura that blocks it (Ice Block cast while stunned), the school arm shifting because `School` is an index and `EffectMiscValue` a mask; what the scan mostly decides is WHICH message a refusal carries — a blocking aura the cast does not counter renames the reason to "Can't do that while %s" (1941); bevy_audio leaves the build — its plugin had been disabled since 0530, but disabling a plugin does not remove a crate, and rodio, a second cpal and an Ogg/Vorbis decoder were still linked into a client that mixes through kira (1932); and cpal has four stream errors, not two — a routine ALSA underrun was treated as "the device is gone", tearing the stream down on every hiccup; now only a lost or invalidated device rebuilds (1939) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

held weapons pick, book images size to their art, the panel opens again
- a unit's pick geometry is every model chained to it — body, held items, mount — one candidate per root resolving to the same unit, which is how the reference registers its pick (it walks the attachment tree and registers each model); Naxxramas' floating weapons could only be selected by their name plate before (no body, no candidate), and every armed unit gains its gear as clickable surface (our own body 12 → 21 tested parts); the broad phase stays the body's sphere, so a very long polearm on a small body is the named residual - the selection ring's writer has two branches and we had transcribed one: a model whose stand box is degenerate (zero extent in x and y) rings at the literal 1.2 × scale — 2.7 yd under a trigger creature — instead of `sqrt(0.5·sqrt(dx²+dy²))` = 0 clamped to an invented 0.05 floor; both invented fallbacks are gone - an HTML book image with no width/height is its art's texel square (one texel = one FrameXML unit, bit-for-bit the `<AbsDimension>` converter), not the rest of the page — *A Treatise on Military Ranks* drew its crest twice too big and stretched to the page's aspect; a texture-size oracle answers off the same decoder the renderer draws with, and an unfloated height-less `<IMG>` reserves its art's height in the flow; 797 shipped textures swept, exactly two zero-size axes move and neither is visible - the dev debug panel killed the client on open with "Attachments have differing sample counts": Bevy's 2-D depth texture is keyed on the render target alone, so two Camera2ds on one window at different MSAA counts cannot both be valid, and the egui overlay camera had silently kept the default 4× after the player-UI camera went to Off; it now says `Msaa::Off`, and a preflight check reports any two 2-D cameras that disagree on a shared target, every run Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the world redraws on resize, and terrain takes its DXT blocks
- the world froze on every resize or graphics change: the backdrop was resized by writing a fresh image through the existing handle, and a mutated `Image` is a whole new GPU texture while a material's bind group is captured once and never re-captured — so the camera drew into a texture the UI never sampled, and the last frame stretched over the window forever; a resized world target is now a NEW asset (publish, retire the old one, and the UI pass forgets materials for removed images so a window drag does not leak a 46 MB target per frame), and a resized capture now matches the native render bit for bit - terrain tile layer arrays take the DXT blocks when the tile's whole layer set allows it — one array has one format, so eligibility is the tile's, not a texture's — and the install's own census says narrow is enough: 87 % of Azeroth's tiles and 92 % of Kalimdor's pass, layer bytes 1.57 GB → 0.63 and 2.23 → 0.76; the decode-tax comment is corrected on the way past — decoding costs 8x DXT1's bytes and 4x DXT3/DXT5's, not 4x and 2x - Environment Detail is the reference's slider, not a dropdown — row 27 of 1.12's own slider table, with the readout keeping the stop names because a bare "1" means nothing to a player — and the shipped ground cover comes off High to Medium: the x3 clutter density had been matched to a configured install, and Medium is the nearest stop no sparser than what a fresh install draws on capable hardware - Display Mode is modern Classic's two-entry dropdown — Windowed (Fullscreen) / Windowed, a boolean at Blizzard's own source, where the three-mode list is pre-8.0.1 folklore — riding `gxWindow` so saved configs keep meaning, with the label-against-value polarity pinned by the row's first test; the Multisampling row comes off the Graphics page for now (the CVar, the device clamp and the bindings all stay): with alpha-to-coverage set nowhere, MSAA touches polygon silhouettes only, and render scale on the same page measures four times the visual change Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the hover tax is pinned and cut, and a spell-less macro is a button
- a tooltip change costs ~1.3 ms — five whole-interface recomputes, each working as designed: the quad re-convert at 474 µs, the Lua tick at 287, the layout resolve at 200, bevy's `Assets<Mesh>` tax at ~270 and the mesh rebuild at 146 — pinned with new hover probes (a jitter dial, a `WOW_PROBE_HOVER_DUTY` duty cycle so run drift cancels, an `AssetChanged` tax meter), and the layout preamble's two whole-roster scans become lists maintained at the writer (52–83 µs → 1–11) - the splice compared this frame's entries against last frame's by index, so one inserted highlight shifted the 160 entries behind it and read as "everything changed"; it now aligns on `z` — an identity, not a position — and a `Text` entry that writes only quads became spliceable, so a tooltip change re-converts 22 entries instead of 520 (`convert` +439 µs → +107), with `WOW_UI_SPLICE_VERIFY` running the full conversion behind every spliced frame: 0 mismatches over 1,078 - a spell-less macro is a usable action button, not the 0.4 grey — the reference's usable compute has a dedicated leg answering usable for the bound-spell zero, cross-checked at the bytes in the reference's disassembly — and the button's Name line is written unconditionally from `GetActionText` as the reference does, so the macro's name sits under its icon and a `/cast` of a spell the character does not know now greys, which is also 1.12's behaviour (B340) - a capture bounds its run in wall-clock seconds, because a frame cap is no cap at the ~1 fps a starved `nextDrawable` leaves — 1800 frames is thirty minutes there — and the teardown backstop runs on every run as a liveness guarantee, carrying the exit code the run asked for; the Multisampling row reads Off / 2x / 4x, since "1x" contradicts the no-multisampling byte both of the reference's enumerators normalise to and the bit-depth prefix was identical on every row Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

action-bar hover stops re-deriving, and multisampling asks the GPU
- hovering the action bars re-derived the whole layout graph and hovering bags did not: `GameTooltip:SetOwner(owner, "ANCHOR_NONE")` dropped the tooltip's anchors through the conservative whole-graph derive, and with `UberTooltips` at its shipped default every action-bar button routes through that arm while a bag slot anchors `ANCHOR_RIGHT` and never does — the arm now retargets to the empty target set, and derive frames fall from 15.9 % of hovered frames to 0.2 % - `gxMultisample` clamps to what the GPU actually offers: Apple GPUs stop at 4x, so a typed 8 was a wgpu validation panic on frame one — the clamp intersects the supported counts of every format the client multisamples into and steps the request down the way the reference's device-init retry loop does, with a warning that says so - the Multisampling dropdown lands on the Graphics page with the device's own stops, built from the same enumeration that clamps a typed value on the reference's three bindings (`GetMultisampleFormats`, `GetCurrentMultisampleFormat`, `SetMultisampleFormat`) — a fixed Off/2x/4x/8x ladder would put a crash on the menu of every GPU that stops at 4 - capture hardening: a run whose `$WOW_WIN` the display clamped is refused in ~2 s instead of producing a wrong-sized shot to diff, a capture never reads the OS pointer (a cursor resting over the window arms a hover and a tooltip that a cursor an inch to the left does not), and the stall sampler writes into `benilla-config` instead of a hand-built `~/Library/Logs` path Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

borderless fullscreen ships, and the 4x MSAA nobody chose is off
- the display mode is borderless fullscreen by default, and there is no exclusive mode at all — winit ignores exclusive on Wayland, X11's path cannot restore the desktop after a crash, macOS has none, and WoW itself dropped it in 8.0.1; 1.12's `gxWindow` row keeps its name, polarity and default with "0" redefined as borderless, read before the window exists so it is born in the player's mode (a window that does not fill gamescope's nested output is a documented input break, and the recorded workaround is "set the game to fullscreen"), `gxResolution` remembers the windowed size, and the Graphics page grows 1.12's own Windowed Mode checkbox - the UI camera says `Msaa::Off` out loud, because silence there meant Bevy's default 4×: the world arrives on this camera as an already-resolved quad and everything it draws itself is axis-aligned rects, so four samples bought a 4× colour target, a 4× depth texture nothing ever writes, 4× the fill on every quad and a resolve — for a measured difference of MAE ≤ 0.024, all of it quad borders now drawn at their authored crispness, which is also the reference's hard-edged 8-bit direction - `gxMultisample` is a real player setting, and it ships off — the reference's own default: the reference registers no literal, it formats field 21 of the `VideoHardware.dbc` row the GPU matched, a 193-row table that holds nothing above 2 anywhere and whose every 2004-era id misses a modern card, so the fallback rows answer and all of them hold 1; the setting persists, all three world-lane cameras read it on the reference's [1,16] scale rounded down the way its own retry loop steps, and `$WOW_MSAA` survives session-only - two instruments for the tooltip hunt: `rebuild_ui_mesh` — which sorts, clips and re-splits every quad in the interface on any dirty frame — gets a meter carrying total/sort/split/write beside the script phases whose flat reading had stood as an alibi, and `WOW_PROBE_HOVER` sweeps the real cursor across named frames through the real pointer path, pressing nothing: the hover recorder records what a hand does, and this supplies the hand Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

clicks find their target, the booth eases off, and the map's lines go
- the world camera's pick regression: its off-screen render target carried `scale_factor: 1.0`, so on a Retina display the camera reported physical pixels as logical and a centred cursor cast its pick ray into the upper-left quadrant — unit and GameObject picks, the occlusion ray, chat bubbles and `world_to_viewport` all broke at once; the target now carries the window's real scale factor, re-stamped when dragging between displays changes it mid-session — and the perf pill's overlap dodge had the same disease in miniature (`GetBottom()` answers in WoW UI units, the pill lays out in window px), so it now answers a fraction of the screen and works at any window height - `boothHalfRate` defaults back to half-rate: a body pane's off-screen booth pass rendered every frame reads +7.6 ms of GPU at 4K (~1.6 ms at 1600×900), on exactly the weak GPUs that felt the last snapshot — the doll's item effects keep full speed, since they key on the pacing regime rather than the camera's active bit, so only the 30 fps animation cadence returns, and full-rate stays one `SetCVar` away - a spell cast by a GameObject arrives with caster guid 0 — vmangos writes the caster slot from a `Unit*` its GameObject constructor never sets — and the whole visual body was dropped at the guid lookup; the decode now reads an empty caster slot as the packet's first guid, which with no cast item IS the caster, so the Lightwell's click plays its impact kit (sound 3155 and the head flash) instead of only the aura glow that hid the miss, and the object stops being mislabelled a cast item - the world map's black hairlines: a `SetTexCoord` crop is not a texture, and a POI icon magnified to 2.08 px per texel sampled half a texel past its crop into the neighbouring atlas cell — an opaque black row bleeding over a cell that is fully transparent (the empty cell is the reference's own zone-level substitution); `UiQuad::uv_clamp` now insets the sampling window half a texel per axis, so a crop renders as if its sub-rect were its own clamped texture, and `WOW_UI_PICK=x,y` names every quad under a pixel — it found this one in a single run Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the world becomes the UI's backdrop, and recipe rows go white on hover
- every translucent UI pixel over the 3D world composited in the wrong space: the world lane and the UI lane each blend in gamma bytes the way the reference's fixed-function device does, but the one blend that mixes them — the UI camera's finished image onto the sRGB swapchain — ran in linear, so a chat tab whose body is black at alpha 102/255 left the scene at 77.5% of its brightness instead of 60%, and the dock's hover glow (an ADD with no plate under it) read as a lozenge floating on grass; the world camera now renders to an off-screen image drawn as the first quad of the UI pass, so every UI blend over the world is the same blend as every UI blend over UI — after, the selected tab plate lands at 0.593–0.600 of the bare scene against 0.60 predicted, and bare-world pixels move at most 1 LSB - the backdrop image is un-encoded `Rgba16Float`, because the UI arc composites in gamma and takes its one decode at the end — pre-encoding would land a second encode in that chain, and quantizing un-encoded values to 8 bits is the banding collapse measured long ago; and hiding the UI keeps the world: the toggle used to retire every batch in the pass, which would now be a black screen — hidden means the two UI lanes draw nothing while the backdrop, which is the world, still draws, with the no-world glue screens pinned on the old behaviour - a button's highlighted label is its own font instance: the client swaps which of three embedded instances the label reads — it never merges colour across states — so the `highlight_color.or(normal_color)` fallback is gone, and `LockHighlight()` now enters the label, not just the highlight texture (the reference blanks a recipe row's highlight texture to "" and then locks the row it selected — with nothing left to pin, the lock's only possible effect is the label, and that is the white text on a selected recipe) - tradeskill, craft and class-trainer rows read white on hover and on select: all three windows carried the row name as a child FontString no per-state font can reach, behind a "no engine method" note that was true when written and stale ever since — the name is now the button's own `<ButtonText>` under the base template's `<NormalFont>`/`<HighlightFont>`/`<DisabledFont>` trio, and the windows call `SetTextColor`/`LockHighlight`/`UnlockHighlight` where the reference calls them Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

windows take turns, the gossip page waits, the shot bar counts down
- the UIPanel registry is re-derived from the reference's bytes: the readable-item page finally registers, so a note or letter closes when a gossip window opens instead of interleaving with it line for line; the character sheet takes its real pushable-2 seat (an NPC window slides it over instead of replacing it), and the spellbook, quest log, talents and character sheet open for dead players again — a refused open now says "You can't do that when you're dead." instead of doing nothing - the gossip window waits for its greeting: the first packet carries only the options and a text id, and we used to show the frame with a blank page for the round trip the text needed — the menu now exists only once the text has answered, a mid-flight click is refused, and a revisit is instant off the cache - a bag slot whose stack count changes on the server now fires `ITEM_LOCK_CHANGED` just ahead of its `BAG_UPDATE` — the one signal 1.12 hunter addons use to detect a spent arrow — so Quiver's auto-shot bar drains per shot instead of pinning at 100%; a swap or create deliberately does not fire it, so rearranging bags can't read as a shot - the outdoor minimap tiles' gamma byte reaches the screen exactly once — the ordinary decode arm learns the same skip the fast path already had Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Quiver loads, teleports stop losing the city, the camera eases right
- 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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

show helm and show cloak work, and the minimap composites its interior
- 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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the walking tax banded, and the minimap stops rewriting the world

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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

performance day two: the resting interface stops rebuilding itself
- the resting player's blinking status glow was rebuilding the whole interface's batches every frame — a run whose bytes didn't move is no longer rewritten, worth 1.17 ms at Stormwind - doodad skeletons collapse into the pose buffer and parked rigs skip the model pass; doodad and prop hulls weld into batched trimeshes - the Update schedule runs on the single-threaded executor by default, measured faster than the multithreaded one for this frame - a parked camera stops claiming to move every frame Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

addon-screen polish, and item glows return to the paper doll
- every glue-screen string renders its colour markup — the addon tooltip included, which used to print its |cff… codes raw - the addon list's scroll knob finally drags, on one shared slider law: press anywhere on the track and the knob warps under your cursor and follows, exactly as 1.12's slider behaves - item effects survive the character sheet and dressing room again — a booth bake is premultiplied by construction and is no longer premultiplied twice, which had been erasing every glow hanging in the space beside the model - the login one-shot announcements wait for the in-game UI to exist before they fire Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

glyphs at their true size — the ladder that scrambled text is gone
- text rasterizes every glyph at its exact on-screen size, on demand — the fixed size ladder and its rescale-after-snap are gone, the machinery that left names scrambled and lines off their baseline after a window resize - the worldport ack now rides the load's completion the way the real client sends it, and the near-teleport echo stands alone as the whole handshake - a floating combat number whose anchor leaves the screen is destroyed rather than dragged to the border, and a trailing line break ends its line instead of opening a new one - entering the world, the loading cover provably presents before the UI builds behind it, holds the world's audio while it is up, and fails closed Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the guild window opens: roster, ranks, notes and the message of the day
- the social window's third tab is live — the roster in both its views, the member card with its promote/demote/remove verbs, the rank editor's thirteen permissions, the guild information board, and the invite, leave, kick and note dialogs behind them - setting your hearthstone at an innkeeper now asks before it takes and says so afterwards, and the innkeeper's gossip lines get their own icons back - unavailable talents grey out, and every greyed icon in the client now goes through the same luminance fold the original used - the buff tooltip's remaining-time line reads gold with the client's own hour/minute ladder, the macro editor takes a shift-click to paste a spell, trainer rows repaint after a purchase, and a long book page stops flickering its ellipsis Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the player build: one binary that carries its content
- a player build ships beside the dev one — dev chords and probe surfaces go dark, and a gate enforces what a player can still reach, by medium not by module - the binary carries its own shaders and its shipped UI, finds the WoW folder by itself, and keeps its local state in one benilla-config folder - the glue screens get a capture shutter, and the engine stops depending on the protocol crate Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

the pet gets its frame, flooded rooms fill, and macros really fire
- the pet gets its own unit frame beside yours, and an Attack order no longer latches as the standing command - five rooms that always read bone dry hold their water now, the Deeprun Tram's flooded stretches among them - macros fire through the client's own chat door, and the macro window fits its tabs and scrolls its icon chooser - the options window grows a Nameplates page and its first dropdown, and the name-display switches apply live in the world Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
