- behind WOW_STATIC_GX=1, never-fade doodads leave the per-entity renderer for one cross-material draw per 133-yard cell, pixel-identical to the entity path at the 1/255 floor
- WMO group geometry joins the pass with the portal flood as CPU range selection — in Lower Blackrock Spire the entity lane's WMO draws drop 33 → 0, no leak
- the fading doodads ride it too: a doodad inside its feather band is punched out of the retained draw and respawned as an ordinary entity, so the fade is the current look by construction
- correctness banked, performance not yet: the first legs read +2.36 ms at the Stormwind gates and +7.27 parked at Goldshire — per-cell texture arrays rebuilt on every re-bake are the priced cost, WOW_GX_PERF=1 meters the lane
