This is what froze his client. The bound named `Cinematic/Camera.lua:2597`:
while turnStarts[1] and now - turnStarts[1] > WINDOW do
table.remove(turnStarts, 1)
end
`remove` drains the table and remembers a size of 0 — faithfully, that is
`luaL_setn`. The addon then appends with `turnStarts[#turnStarts + 1] = now`,
which is a raw set this layer never sees, so slot 1 is full while the
remembered size is still 0. `remove` reads 0, takes its "nothing to remove"
path, changes nothing, and the caller spins forever. 15 s of Lua in every
frame, for the whole session, in a loop that in the reference cannot fail.
It cannot fail there because 5.0 has no `#` operator: every append goes through
`insert` or `getn`, so a remembered size is always the truth. The collision is
a later-era addon's `#` meeting 5.0's bookkeeping, and it also loses data the
quiet way round — `insert` after a `#` append writes *over* the appended slot
instead of after it, which is a test here now too.
So the two kinds of size are kept apart. One this library **derived** from an
`insert` or a `remove` is a cache: if `t[n + 1]` is not nil the table has grown
since, and the count wins. One an addon **declared** with `table.setn` is
honoured exactly as before, because `setn(t, 0)` as a logical wipe over full
slots is the entire point of it — AceLibrary and Mik's capture tables both turn
on that, and both still pass. An explicit numeric `t.n` field is a declaration
too, and is untouched.
Measured: the corpus roster is byte-identical (87 ok / 1 fail, the failure the
pre-existing AdvancedTradeSkillWindow2), and the drain loop that spun 44 times
in his log now ends in one removal a round.
