SamandClaude Fable 5.1 dbcf60fc31 the loading screen lets nothing through, and the micro buttons go stock
- units could be hovered through the loading screen — the sword cursor gave it away: the world pick chain has no state gate, one of fifty-one input sites, so a gate per consumer is a rule that regresses; the cut is at the source instead — one `PreUpdate` system empties the button planes, drains the raw queues, zeroes the accumulators and blanks the window's cursor position while the cover is up (the alt-tabbed-away state every consumer already handles); a press under the cover never happened, a held button is released once, a gesture in flight is cancelled, and a wall test counts the channels; the reference does the same — its raise registers a veto stub (`0x406a50`) on five event-bus categories — and one gap closed with it: the reference parks the plain arrow and drops any item overlay before the screen goes up, where benilla kept a held item's icon over the loading art (1986, 1990)
- the micro-button row is the reference's own `MainMenuBarMicroButtons.xml`, our transcription deleted — no engine verb was missing, and the whole engine-side cost is one alias, `SoundOptionsFrame = OptionsFrame`, because the stock file reads the reference's three options windows and ours is the one window for all three; what the stock file brings back: `UpdateTalentButton`'s own −2 re-seat (the five buttons after the talent button sit 1 px further right — the reference's own pixel), the raw binding token in the hover label (`(C)`, `(SHIFT-P)`), the sixty-second talent-button pulse on a ding while the sheet is closed (0304's scope-out retired), the keyring arm, and "Abilities" on the spellbook hover for a character with no spells; `BenillaActionBarArt_SeatAbove` goes with the file — a child is born one level above its parent (`SetParent` `0x76ab65`), the seat it set by hand (1987)
- hovering the player arrow on the stock world map showed an empty tooltip: narrower than 4:3 the map is scaled under 1, and our `MouseIsOver` had dropped the reference's division by `GetEffectiveScale` as "always 1" — the frame getters answer in the frame's own units, `GetCursorPosition` in the screen's; the division is back, and the region getters divide by their owner's scale too; and the ready check times out: the stock `UIParent.xml` ticks `CheckReadyCheckTime` every frame, the one unbound name in that file's way, so the mechanism behind it is built — a 30 s deadline and a "has not answered" flag per roster entry, the leader getting no popup while members print "%s has initiated a ready check" and get it, and on expiry `RAID_MEMBERS_AFK` with the unanswered names or `READY_CHECK_NO_AFK`, the last answer closing the check at once (1985, 1989)
- a review of the floor grind closed eight stale-input and bypassed-side-effect siblings the gates had left open: a never-placed card places on a still frame, the dormant-emitter skip sits below the emitter's lifetime blocks, PVS changes (not only spawns) un-still the gates, the appear ramp's retirement and a far-side unmark come due, a host born under a parked camera is judged, the projection counts as a still input, a fresh palette range is zeroed, the stable feed runs once more after a close, the unit publisher's viewer query is filtered, solo UI materials are reused by key, and the draw-list cache compares exactly; and three doc links the chat window's stock move (1948) left dangling point at what replaced them — the colour table and the tell ring are the stock Lua's now — which is what had the doc-links gate (1925) red on main

Rust

//! The FrameScript object model, frame side (RF-0023) — `CreateFrame`, the frame metatable +
//! wrapper cache, and the shared frame method surface (decision 0068 v1). The region side lives in
//! [`super::region`]; per-kind frame methods in their own modules ([`super::statusbar`], …),
//! dispatched by [`kind_method_registries`] before the shared table.
//!
//! A frame's Lua value is a table `T` with `T[0] = lightuserdata(id)` (the id encoding stands in for
//! RF-0023's `CScriptObject*`; see the module docs on ids) and one **shared** metatable whose
//! `__index` is a Rust function that dispatches a method name to its implementation. Wrappers are
//! cached in a Lua-side registry table keyed by id, so `GetParent()` (etc.) returns the *same* table
//! every time (stable identity). Named frames auto-publish to `_G`, non-overwriting (RF-0023). Region
//! leaves (`Texture`/`FontString`) use the same `T[0]` scheme but a *distinct* metatable (the "tag"
//! that separates their method surface from frames').
//!
//! The whole surface honors the MAXCSTACK discipline: the two metatables, the two method tables, and
//! the wrapper cache live in the Lua registry (named keys); Rust holds none of them across calls.

// "5"`, while `f:CreateTexture(nil, nil, 5)` silently ignores the 5, because the region
// constructors ask `lua_type` first and never coerce. Same value, opposite outcome, decided by

// the `xor eax,eax; ret` after the call is dead code. The frame is **not created**, no global
// is published, and the calling statement is abandoned; the error is ordinary Lua propagation
// and `pcall`-catchable, which is how the widget dispatcher (`0x704f10`, every handler under
// `lua_pcall`) turns it into one dead handler rather than a dead client.
//
// We used to warn and hand back a usable bare frame, and the doc above said the reference

// addon then runs on a frame with none of the art, regions or scripts it asked for and fails
// later, somewhere unrelated.
//
// Ordering is the carved part, not a detail: the miss branch precedes the synthetic-node build
// (`0x706208`) and the `name` store (`0x70622d`), so a miss leaves no partial widget and no
// orphan global behind. Doing this after construction would leave both.
