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`](https://github.com/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 `powf`s per frame for the volume tween and the fade. At
|
||
48 kHz × 12 tracks that is ~1.7 M `powf`s 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.
