- the world map's landmarks: city icons and the Eastern Plaguelands towers, from AreaPOI.dbc through the reference's own three gates (level flags, exploration, world state) — the tower rows are one per (tower, owner, state), so the server flipping a world state swaps which icon exists; and the always-up PvP readout ("Towers Controlled: n") over a new WorldStateUI.dbc loader, the init clearing the table on a zone change as the client does
- the character-select scene holds its authored 4:3 view box: the diagonal-FOV relation was fed the display's aspect, so every extra pixel of width came out of height (1.55× zoom at 21:9, head and feet gone) — now width grows and height never shrinks; the reference does the same and is wrong on the same panel
- a trail particle is stored in world space and drawn raw: Sprint's trail was welded to the chest bone (turn and it swings, run and it wobbles) because the trail was faked by subtracting translation inside a bone-local store; the correction machinery deleted itself, gravity is plain world down, and the emitters' live attach frame is retired
- the spellbook can shrink: `SMSG_REMOVED_SPELL` had no handler, so a talent wipe took the points back and left every rank drawn; and the chat dock's hover driver rides a frame the dock cannot hide, so selecting the Combat Log no longer freezes the tab alphas
