//! **Client-identity and script-evaluation verbs** — the small engine globals an addon asks for
//! before it does anything else (1188 phase 5, prioritised by the phase 6 corpus).
//!
//! These are not a guess at what addons want. They are the top of the measured demand list: over a
//! 218-addon vanilla corpus, `GetBuildInfo` is called by 69 addons and `RunScript` by 52, and both
//! are called *at file scope* — so a missing one does not degrade an addon, it stops the addon's
//! very first chunk with `attempt to call global … (a nil value)`. `GetBuildInfo` alone was the
//! first error for the whole Ace/Atlas/AtlasLoot family, which is a large slice of the ecosystem.
//!
//! ## The host-fed pair (decision 1195)
//!
//! `GetRealmName` and `GetFramerate` are the next two down that list — 24 addons are stopped dead
//! by `GetRealmName` at file scope, and it is the **top runtime wall in the corpus** after the
//! dialect gap. Both read a slot the app pushes, the same shape as the zone-text family: the
//! engine owns the verb, the host owns the fact.
//!
//! `GetRealmName` returning `""` before a realm is known is deliberate and is what the reference
//! does at the glue screen. An addon keys its saved variables on it (`db[GetRealmName()]`), so
//! answering `nil` would make that a `table index is nil` error one call deeper — the failure mode
//! we have been paying for all arc.
