This checkout had no git history at all, so this one commit carries the whole
of the Everwood work as a single import on top of chairmanpow/benilla-octo's
`main` (706cd71). The two trees have genuinely diverged — each has files the
other does not — so this is a fork point, not a catch-up.
Today's work, which is the reason a baseline exists at all:
- Booth previews no longer cast world shadows (`NO_BOOTH_SHADOW`). Portrait
characters were entering the sun's shadow cascades, so every skinned-rig
shadow specialization compiled live mid-frame; the hitch detector logged
"main thread blocked 1316 ms" beside a `compiled LIVE` warning. This was
the Fashion/Tmog stutter.
- Per-pane dress-up: each `DressUpModel` pane assembles and stages its own
tried-on look instead of every pane mirroring the live player.
- Item template cache is append-only JSONL written on the IO pool, replacing
an 11.6 MB whole-map JSON rewrite on the main thread every 10 s.
- `WOW_SYSTEM_TIMING` rebuilt per-thread: it took 2 mutexes per system enter
and 4 per exit, costing 15 ms a frame (590 fps -> 60) and corrupting the
measurements it was taken to produce.
- The visibility-churn sweep moved to its own `WOW_FLASH_CHURN` switch, so a
frame-cost reading no longer pays 2.7 ms a frame for it.
Local state (`benilla-config/`, `logs/`, `target/`) is excluded by the
existing .gitignore; the account credential it holds is not in this commit.

benilla's kira fork — what differs from upstream, and how to check
Upstream: tesselode/kira, MIT OR Apache-2.0, version
0.12.1 — the version the workspace lock resolves to. Wired in through [patch.crates-io] in
the workspace root, the way lua-src is. The crate is copied from the cargo registry as
published (src/, Cargo.toml, README.md) plus the two licence files from the repository;
upstream files are CRLF and are left so, except the one file patched.
Why a fork exists at all
The mixer runs on benilla's own audio render thread (sound/output), and with a raid buffing
itself — a dozen live voices, most of them spatial — that thread cost ~1.5 ms of every 60 Hz
frame on an M2 Air (a sampled profile with a dozen spatial voices playing, Track::process
two thirds of it). Upstream's sub-track process spatializes every
frame: two vector normalizes, a length, the attenuation curve and a dB→amplitude powf per
frame per spatial track, then two more powfs per frame for the volume tween and the fade. At
48 kHz × 12 tracks that is ~1.7 M powfs a second plus the vector math, for gains that change
imperceptibly across a 10 ms chunk. FMOD 3 — the mixer the real client delegates to — updates
pan and attenuation per mixer update, not per sample.
The one patch — src/track/sub.rs
Track::process evaluates the spatial gains (attenuation, left/right ear gain, the mono fold)
and the volume × fade amplitude at the chunk's two ends and interpolates them linearly across
the chunk. SpatialData::spatial_gains is spatialize factored into a value; spatialize
itself is kept, unused, so the factoring can be diffed against it. A chunk is the output
device's buffer — 512 frames, ~10.7 ms, sound/output::DEVICE_BUFFER_FRAMES.
What changes audibly: nothing a listener can name. A source crossing an ear's axis within one chunk pans linearly in gain over 10 ms instead of following the dot product per sample; a volume tween ramps linearly in amplitude across each chunk instead of in decibels. Both are below the granularity the reference itself updates at.
How to check
git diff --no-index <registry>/kira-0.12.1/src/track/sub.rs third_party/kira/src/track/sub.rs
(after sed 's/\r$//' on the upstream copy) shows the patch and nothing else; every other file
is byte-identical to the registry crate. The mixer's own tests (cargo test -p benilla-app sound::) run against the fork.
