- seven more windows run off the player's own patch chain: the durability shield (`DurabilityFrame.xml`, with a Rust-side repair for the reference's own stale side-glyph inset the director caught on screen), `Localization.xml` + `GameTime.xml` (so `LocalizeFrames` finally runs from `VARIABLES_LOADED`, and the clock's 24-hour flag comes from where 1.12 sets it), the chat-link tooltip (`ItemRef.xml` — draggable now, and its shift-click arm fills the friend/ignore/who boxes as the reference's does), the mirror timers (`MirrorTimer.xml`, which exposed that our `STATICPOPUP_NUMDIALOGS` was 2 against the reference's 4, so a third breath/fatigue/feign bar could never be claimed), the zone splash with the fading kit, the item-text reader and the combo-point dots — each under the reference's published frame names, which is what an addon reaches for
- `AddMessage` swallows a text it cannot use, silently, as the reference does: `0x795590` is a `lua_isstring` gate whose failure edge jumps straight to the epilogue — no line, no error, no record — and stock FrameXML takes that path: a full keyring calls `AddMessage(NO_EMPTY_KEYRING_SLOTS, …)` and no such GlobalString exists in 1.12, so it is a dead click on a real client where benilla put a script-error dialog on it; byte-verified by a four-worker cross-check in wow-re, and NOT generalised — a bad r/g/b/a still adds the line opaque white, only a bad text shows nothing
