- the paper doll joins the collapsed rig lane and its body panes render every other frame while open, the pose still evaluating at full rate (boothHalfRate CVar) — the open character window's cost at Goldshire ~+2.7 → ~+1.0 ms
- the parked frame's idle diet: avian's dynamics pipeline goes (the world has zero dynamic bodies), the hidden dev overlay stops drawing an empty pass, and a unit's swim state is re-checked only when it moved — 12.8–13.3 → 12.0 ms parked at Goldshire
- the UI tick stops sweeping the whole frame arena three times over: OnUpdate frames and the message and cooldown kinds live on registries kept at their one write site — idle tick 530 → ~195 µs a frame
- the WOW_MEGA_STATIC bracket retires, past its recorded condition now that the retained pass carries its own
