`$WOW_CAPTURE_SAVED` points the saved-variable READS at a real player's
configuration so a capture reproduces their interface. The writes went to
the same place, so taking the shot overwrote the configuration it was
taken to study -- with a fixture character's state, since a capture logs
in as nobody. Three of grom's files came back changed from one run, his
pfUI chat scrollback among them.
The shutdown tail returns before all four writes under $WOW_CAPTURE.
Verified by md5 across a run: zero files touched, zero "wrote" lines.
