`--probe <Name>` loads one addon and asks it things. What it cannot see is an
interaction between two addons, and a real interface is mostly interactions:
the player's chat frame is docked by pfUI, re-anchored by the shipped
`FCF_DockUpdate`, and read by ChatSuey, and no single-addon probe reproduces
any of that.
`--probe-all` is the same read-back against the walk `--together` already does
— the whole folder in one VM, in load order, each `ADDON_LOADED` at its own
position, then one session start — with the VM left standing for `--eval`,
`--tick` and `--mouse` instead of thrown away. The walk itself is now one
function both callers share, so the survey and the probe cannot drift.
Two things the walk was missing, both of which decide what the interface looks
like:
- **Saved variables.** `register_addons` was told where they live and nobody
read them, so every `--together` run measured a default-config interface.
pfUI's panel sizes, module enables and font sizes all live there. With
`--saved C_Thun-Gromgosh` the probe reproduces the player's own geometry to
the digit — the chat frame's 25.12 px panel gap matches what was measured in
play, where a default-config VM says 23.62. Loaded before `ADDON_LOADED`, as
the reference sets them (`0x51f6c0`), because reading config on that event is
the usual shape; after it is a default-config interface with extra steps.
Dependencies get theirs too: a library pulled in under its first dependent
never gets a turn of its own in this walk, where the live client gives every
enabled addon one.
- **The screen.** `--screen 2560x1440` instead of a hardcoded 1024x768, because
pfUI's pixel-perfect scaling reads `GetScreenHeight` and a player's interface
is not laid out at the harness's resolution.
What it answered first time out: the player's short pfUI chat frame does **not**
reproduce offline. With his real saved variables, at his real resolution, with
all 80 addons in one VM, `ChatFrame1` is docked correctly — `TOPLEFT` and
`BOTTOMRIGHT` into `pfChatLeft`, height 129.76 of a 180 panel — so whatever
shortens it live needs state this walk does not have, which is worth knowing
before reading another line of `layout.rs`.
