gromandClaude Opus 5 0da710810e An EditBox's engine quads answered nil, and ate the trade window's money row
His trade window has no money amounts: one empty box where the gold/silver/
copper row belongs. The cause is four regions that answer the wrong thing.

pfUI skins that row by walking the gold EditBox's regions for the first
Texture whose texture names "MoneyIcons", showing it, and re-anchoring it to
the right of the box — then the silver box hangs off that icon and the copper
box off the silver one (api/ui-widgets.lua:1225, api/api.lua:1693). Its scan
reads a nil GetTexture() as "no name to match against, take this one".

An EditBox's first four regions are the engine's own: the three selection
highlights and the caret, which GetRegions lists ahead of the authored
<Layers> ones. They paint host-side here, so they carried no texture and no
fill and answered nil — and pfUI took the caret for the gold coin. Silver and
copper then anchored off a zero-size region and the whole row collapsed.

The reference builds those four as colour-set textures, not empty ones, so
GetTexture answers them "Solid Texture" — the string is in WoW.exe, and
pfUI's scan does filter that out. They answer it here now. Nothing renders
differently: the host still draws the highlight and caret from sel_start /
sel_end / caret_shown, and the fill stays unset.

The new test runs pfUI's scan itself rather than asserting on our side of it,
because what matters is which region that loop picks.

gromandClaude Opus 5 f4960efc53 The realm update lands clean, and three of the "269 known red" were real
His 2026-10-28 20:18 update rewrote `Data/patch-4.mpq` (1.37 GB) and
`patch-5.mpq`
(230 MB). Verified rather than assumed, and nothing of ours broke: the realm's
`FrameXML.toc` went 146 → 151 rows and patch-5 holds the richest copy, so
`chain::demote_stale_snapshots` fires and it wins the manifest; the five new
rows
are realm modules (`OctoChallengesSession`, `OctoHardcoreBGMenu`, `OctoReplay`,
`OctoReplayBar`, `OctoReport`) that `unnamed_chain_rows` picks up by design and
that load with **0 load errors and 0 session errors**, every global they name
resolving; DBC field counts are unchanged everywhere, so no parser is at risk,
while record counts moved (Spell 27992 → 28026, CreatureDisplayInfo 13423 →
13451), which is the proof the new data is live; a `WOW_CAPTURE=vista` at
Ironforge prints **0 ERROR lines**; and both golden baselines held exactly, 269
with an identical failing name set and 80, `goldshire_cell` still at 1874.

Two examples answer "did it land", because "the file is in the archive" never
does. The reference mounts `patch-?.MPQ` by case-folded name, so every
`patch-A..Z` outranks `patch-4`/`patch-5`, and the toc-subset demotion cannot
see
an archive that carries no toc at all. `chain_report` prints the `FrameXML.toc`
copies in priority order and, with `--toc`, the winner of every row of the
realm's manifest with a tally — 68 to patch-4, 43 to patch-5, 32 to `patch.MPQ`,
7 to `interface.MPQ`, 1 to patch-3, and **none to a stale letter patch**.
`chain_shadow` answers from the archive's side: patch-4 carries 20326 paths of
which 10220 are shadowed, patch-5's 1494 are not shadowed at all.

Then, grouping the red bucket by panic *site* rather than trusting its label:
252 of the 269 are shipped-UI tests and **136 share one site**. Three of the
rest
were real, and are fixed here.

Six `OptionsFrame_*` enable/disable helpers were missing outright. `benilla.toc`
is the only thing that loads two of the reference's settings windows — the
realm's own toc lists neither `SoundOptionsFrame.xml` nor `UIOptionsFrame.xml` —
stock 1.12 keeps those six beside them in its own `OptionsFrame.lua`, and the
realm replaced that file with Turtle's rewrite, which drops them. Checked
against
all 151 interface rows, Lua and XML: nothing defines one. So those windows held
controls that could not grey out, with the first raise waiting on the click that
reached one. `assets/ui/OptionsFrameAdapters.lua` carries the reference's own
bodies, read out of `patch.MPQ` rather than from memory.

`CHARACTERFRAME_SUBFRAMES` was asserted to hold exactly five. The realm's
`CharacterFrame.lua` carries a sixth, `ArenaFrame` — which this client already
stubs (`CharacterFrameAdapters.xml`), so the count was the only thing wrong. It
now checks the reference's five by membership and order, which is what the test
is for; a realm may append.

And the kit's stand-ins were anonymous. `CreateFrame("Frame")` with no name
answers `GetName()` nil and `GetID()` 0, the publish is `setglobal` either way,
so naming them costs nothing and the absence cost two of the 136's three errors:
`FCF_SetWindowName` concatenating a nil name and `SetChatWindowDocked` refusing
window 0. `ChatFrame1`/`ChatFrame2` are no longer seated at all — every row of
`UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS` is read through `frame = _G[index]; if
( frame )`, so a missing one is skipped, and seating them only shadowed the real
windows for good. The pass runs at load, from `ShapeshiftBar_OnLoad`, twelve toc
rows before the chat files, which is why the stand-ins were always first.

That leaves 136 on one cause, and the two tests added to `loader/tests.rs` are
what ruled out the first hypothesis: a template's `parent="UIParent"` does reach
the frame that inherits it, one level and two, which is how `ChatFrame1` is
built. The next suspects are written down in the gates memory.
