"then we gotta fix bettercharacterpanel, that one is driving me nuts."
BetterCharacterPanel is built on five nampower getters and had none of them.
`GetEquippedItem` was 8 raises in one session of his log; the other four failed
inside the addon's own `pcall`s, so its item-level column, quality colours,
missing-enchant warning and two-hand test were all dead at once. DoiteAuras
reads the same getter in six places.
The spec is the installed `nampower.dll` itself rather than inference, which is
what unblocked this — the earlier note here said to find the upstream spec
first, and the DLL *is* the spec:
- its usage strings give the signatures,
- "Slot must be a number between 1 and 19" gives the band, so the slots are
1.12's own `GetInventoryItemLink` numbering and `NampowerAPI.lua`'s
`slot - 1` in `IsItemInSlot` is that shim's bug, not the contract,
- its string pool gives the key names in order, and
- "Item not found in DBCache" is a raise, which is exactly why the addon
`pcall`s these three and calls `GetEquippedItem` bare.
`itemLevel` is the one field 1.12 cannot reach at all: `GetItemInfo`'s fourth
value is the *required* level, and later clients are the ones that insert
`itemLevel` there — so the panel's item-level column had no possible source
before this. The cache row now carries it, with `buyPrice` and `displayInfoID`
beside it, and an equipped item carries the raw descriptor numbers the tooltip's
resolved enchant lines could not answer (an id whose `SpellItemEnchantment` row
hides its name is still an id).
Fields left absent rather than guessed are listed in code and in
`docs/ADDON_COMPAT.md`; nothing installed reads any of them.
