A second player's four `/errors` entries, all from one session, none of them a
fault in the two addons he was reporting:
1. `FloatingChatFrame.xml: SetScript("OnInputLanguageChanged") unsupported`.
Ours. The slot is real 1.12 and the *realm's own* FrameXML sets it on
`ChatFrameEditBox`, so every player met a red error on every login for a
line none of them wrote. `SCRIPT_KINDS` now accepts it and never fires it,
which is also what the reference does — a client with no IME never fires it
either. The rule the old test stated is unchanged and restated: a 1.12 slot
benilla neither fires nor finds in a shipped file still raises.
2. `bindings.xml: root element is <Bindings>, not <Ui>; tolerated`. Every
`Bindings.xml` in the corpus has that root and `bindings_xml` reads it
correctly. No longer said.
3. `bindings.xml: Unknown frame type: Binding`, counted 69. Faithful — the
reference logs the same line (`0x871124`) for every row while `0x51f400`
registers them separately — and ours registers them too:
AlternativeClassicActionBars' 69 bindings all answer `GetBinding`. Now a
trace, so the terminal keeps it and the panel does not.
4. `SetOwner: unknown anchor 'BOTTOMRIGHT' on owner 'WorldFrame'`, counted 292.
The hunt for that caller ended a while ago: it is `Shop_ProcessEntries` in
the realm's own `Turtle_ShopUI`, off the player's patch chain, and the
reference accepts an unknown anchorType silently (mode 0, ANCHOR_LEFT), as
we do. The diagnostic has done its job; it is now host-log-once
(`Model::warn_host_only_once`) and not retained.
The panel is where someone looks to find what is broken in *their* interface.
A line that is faithful, or names a file they cannot reach, crowds out the ones
that are theirs.

A second player sent a video: Options → Nameplates with all six boxes ticked,
the V binding set, and no plates at all — while the overhead *names* drew fine.
`VPlateMode::default().range_sq` was `0.0`, and the gate is
`distance_squared > range_sq`. Zero is not "no cull"; it is "cull everything, at
any distance". `NameplateRange` is a registered CVar with default `"80"`, and a
registered default is not written to `config.toml`, so no `CvarChanged` ever
fired and the field never left its derived value.
This is the trap the paragraph three fields above already documents, and which
`occlusion` and `spread` were fixed by writing their registered defaults into
`Default`; `range_sq` was left behind. It stayed hidden because
`NameConfig::default()` — the overhead names — already carried `80.0 * 80.0`, so
names drew and only plates were missing, which reads as a nameplate-addon
problem rather than an engine one. It could not be reproduced here either:
grom's own `config.toml` carries `NP_NameplateDistance = "62"`, which seeds the
same field through the other observer arm.
`the_plate_range_default_agrees_with_its_registered_cvar` now pins the default
to `registered_pairs()`'s row and pins the plate and the name culls to each
other, since a disagreement between those two is what made this read as
somebody else's bug.
It also answers the other half of his report. The gate `continue`s before the
plate is seated at all, so with `range_sq` at 0 no plate frame ever exists —
and UnitPlates works by adopting the plate frames under WorldFrame. One bug,
both symptoms: "nameplates will not turn on" and "UnitPlates does nothing" are
the same line.
And a packaging answer that comes before both, for UnitPlates specifically:
GitHub's "Download ZIP" unpacks `Redbu11dev/UnitPlates` as `UnitPlates-main`
with `UnitPlates.toc` inside it. The client looks for `<Folder>/<Folder>.toc`,
so the addon never loads — here or on the real client. The harness says it in
as many words: "no manifest under other-addons/UnitPlates-main — is that an
addon folder?". It has to be renamed `UnitPlates`.
