In 1.12.1 an event a Lua verb raises runs its handlers before the verb returns: `SignalEvent` (`0x703e50`) walks the listeners in place. About 35 benilla binding sites queued theirs for a later drain instead.
- Verbs now raise inside `tick::verb` steps, and the events fire as each step's model borrow drops. A step follows the reference's split wherever it signals before changing state a getter reads: the money pickup, bag pickup and place, merchant grab, repair cursor, item use, action and pet-bar pickup and drop.
- The grid events fire before `CURSOR_UPDATE`, and a clear's unlock before both, as at `0x4952b3`/`0x495455`. `ITEM_LOCK_CHANGED` carries no arguments.
- `pending_events` is host-only now.
Tests pin handler order per family, nesting from a handler, and the order changes.
