- Shadowfang Keep's far doorways no longer fill with flat blue-cyan at distance: it was never a hole — the room behind the arches is in the visible set at every camera distance — it was the building's own MFOG record (rgb 40,68,79 at end 106.9 yd, ~95% saturated at 70 yd) painted over a room the reference shows under the scene fog, because benilla picked the fog lane STATICALLY per batch (`flags & 0x48`) where the client's `[0xca7f00]` gate decides it per frame per group along the portal walk; the flood publishes that bit now and all three lanes (entity, retained, WMO liquid) read it, and the wow-re carve confirmed the predicate verbatim and added the conjunct we lacked — the MFOG target exists only when one of the camera's own containing groups is a true interior, so in a courtyard the interior triple decays to the scene triple, which is what a unit standing in the keep reads
- every world-placed M2 was silent — the street lamp's hum, the campfire, the waterfall, the windmill: no doodad ever wrote into the anim-event stream (three producers, none a terrain placement), and the sound clock was gated on the RIG, which is rightly never built for a model whose idle is the static mesh — `KalidarStreetLamp01.m2` is one looping 3.3 s Stand keying no bone at all, carrying one `$DSL`; the census (`benilla-extract soundeventscan`) counts 273 carrier models, 108 on tiers no rig gate arms; a sound-carrying placement now gets a clock-only host, `$DSL` is a sustained emitter, and the RE foldback settled three laws: `$DSL` ALWAYS loops and consults no flag (the kit's 0x200 bit is a lane select and 0x400 is random pitch — a neat four-row correlation of ours refuted), `$DSE` is the stop token, and a doodad holds ONE registration slot, which is why `bellows.m2`'s two loops alternate rather than drone
- the reference voices sound IDS, not doodads: `$DSL` registers the doodad's position as one record in a 32-entry pool keyed by SoundEntries id (`0x461d80`), each entry runs one channel at whichever of its records is nearest the listener — moved, not restarted (`0x7a5b10`), so one hum follows you down a row of lamps — the pump admits the first four entries by claim order and fades the rest over 3.0 s; the per-id duplicate suppressors turn out to be the one-shot lane's and were being applied to every lane (a three-second dropout every time a loop came back under the cap); three 76 yd hops between two Darnassus lamps now produce ONE play, and Darnassus runs 12 entitled ambiences with 8 withheld by the cap
- the selection ring joins the decal band too, and it draws UNDER the shadow: the RE found the ring emitted from inside PHASE 1's own M2 node drain (`[node+0xb4] = 0x481540` → the `+0x38` tick → `0x608e00`), the same iteration that then draws that node's blob shadow — the reverse of the tie-break this ladder had asserted since both rungs existed, a rule invented here and never read anywhere; `WOW_EFFECT_TRACE` names every rung of the band and prints its index in the sorted transparent phase, which is the ladder read straight off a live frame
