Four fixes a TurtleWoW client needs and stock 1.12.1 never asks for, each for a raise it
provokes:
A player attaches as soon as its display model is ready. Gating on `Equipment::settled`
withheld a body for good on a chain that never answers one `PLAYER_VISIBLE_ITEM` template —
in a battleground crowd, every other player. 1.12.1 withholds a unit only until its first
composite (`0x477860`); the compositor paints the armour it knows and re-dresses when a
template lands.
Races 9 (Goblin) and 10 (High Elf) get their sides, from TurtleWoW's `FactionTemplate.dbc`
group masks (Goblin's template 1609 is mask 5, Horde; High Elf's 1610 is mask 3, Alliance).
Without a side, the roster seat's `UnitFactionGroup("player")` is nil and an addon that
concatenates it at file scope raises and loses its whole load phase.
`wipe` hands back a table for nil. `Blizzard_RaidUI.lua:77,116` clears its
`RAID_SUBGROUP_LISTS` with `t[i] = wipe(t[i])` and then `tinsert`s into the result, so a
never-populated entry must come back insertable.
`RequestArenaScoreInfo` is defined as a no-op. `WorldStateFrame.lua:217` calls it on the
battleground score events; the function is native to TurtleWoW's client and the reply is
parsed by its own native code, never by that Lua. 1.12.1 has no arenas, so there is no
scoreboard here for it to fill.
