refactor(callbacks): lighter EventRegistry dispatch

Modernize the frame-event forwarder: OnEvent now takes its (self, event, ...)
positionally (modern script args, on by default) and forwards straight to
TriggerEvent — dropping the DispatchGameEvent hop and the unpack(arg) repack,
and forwarding the exact arg count instead of a padded arg1..arg9 (which
silently dropped args for events that emit more than nine). A fallback reads
the event/arg globals when SetModernScriptArgs is off, so the registry stays
robust to that switch.

Keep the ordinary {[event]=count} ref-count table rather than storing counts
as frame attributes: SetAttribute is heavier per call (it lowercases the name,
runs the secure-attribute parsing, and fires OnAttributeChanged) for the same
steady-state memory, so a plain table is lighter on the register/unregister
path.

+-- C_UnitAuras. Its whole value on 1.12 is the zero-allocation path: modern
+-- addons that scan many units' auras every frame call AuraUtil.ForEachAura (with
+-- usePackedAura false) instead of C_UnitAuras.GetAuraDataByIndex, so no AuraData
+-- table is built per aura -- which matters far more under Lua 5.0's mark-sweep
+-- GC than it does on retail's generational GC. See ClassicAPI issue #30.
+--
+-- Ported from the anniversary source (Blizzard_FrameXMLUtil/AuraUtil.lua),
+-- keeping the exact public shapes:
+--   * ForEachAura(unit, filter, batchSize, func, usePackedAura)
+--   * FindAura(predicate, unit, filter, arg1, arg2, arg3)
+--   * FindAuraByName(auraName, unit, filter)
+--   * UnpackAuraData(auraData)
+--
+-- Two deliberate differences from that source:
+--   1. Retail's ForEachAura/FindAura batch through GetAuraSlots / GetAuraDataBySlot
+--      (continuation tokens) -- 1.12 has no slot-batching API, so the bodies here
+--      iterate by index (1, 2, ...) until the accessor returns no aura. Same public
+--      contract, different internals.
+--   2. The non-packed ForEachAura and FindAura source each aura from the positional
+--      C_UnitAuras.UnitAura (no table), so both are zero-allocation here -- FindAura
+--      in particular, where the retail version allocates a table per aura scanned.
+--
+-- The comparator / dispel-priority / border helpers (DefaultAuraCompare,
+-- UnitFrameDebuffComparator, ShouldDisplayDebuff, SetAuraBorder*, IsPriorityDebuff)
+-- are NOT ported: they depend on isPriorityAura / auraInstanceID / the aura
+-- visualization pipeline / secure-call machinery, none of which exist on 1.12.

+-- SecureStateDriver: automatic frame state / visibility from macro conditionals.
+--
+-- Backports FrameXML's SecureStateDriverManager. A registered driver re-runs
+-- SecureCmdOptionParse (Util/MacroOptions.lua) on a 0.2s poll (plus an instant
+-- rescan on the events below) and applies the result:
+--   * RegisterStateDriver(frame, "visibility", "[combat] hide; show") -> the
+--     value "show"/"hide" drives frame:Show()/Hide();
+--   * RegisterStateDriver / RegisterAttributeDriver for any other state ->
+--     frame:SetAttribute("state-"..state, value), so an OnAttributeChanged
+--     handler reacts to it;
+--   * RegisterUnitWatch(frame [, asState]) -> shows/hides (or sets
+--     "state-unitexists") as the frame's `unit` attribute comes and goes.
+--
+-- Base: 3.3.5 FrameXML/SecureStateDriver.lua, with the anniversary refinements
+-- grafted in (the resolveDriver() consolidation, tonumber() coercion of driver
+-- values, the literal string 'nil' -> nil, and the "statehidden" attribute).
+--
+-- Three deliberate deviations from upstream, all because 1.12 has no taint and
+-- our attribute system fires OnAttributeChanged SYNCHRONOUSLY:
+--   1. No attribute-bootstrap manager. Upstream drives itself through
+--      SecureStateDriverManager:SetAttribute("setframe"/"setstate"/...) -- a
+--      taint-boundary trick. Our SetAttribute has a recursion guard (a nested
+--      SetAttribute stores the value but does NOT fire the handler, see
+--      src/frame/Attributes.cpp), so doing the registration-time resolve from
+--      inside that handler would silently swallow the target frame's own
+--      OnAttributeChanged. Instead the public Register* functions write plain
+--      local tables and resolve immediately at top level. Public signatures are
+--      unchanged from retail.
+--   2. GetTime()-deadline throttle instead of the OnUpdate `elapsed` arg (1.12
+--      handlers take no parameters).
+--   3. UpdateUnitWatch guards its "statehidden"/"state-unitexists" writes on a
+--      real change, so a watched frame's handler is not fired at 5 Hz.

+-- Focus / Clear Focus: we add one contextual entry -- "Set Focus" when the
+-- unit is not the current focus, "Clear Focus" when it is -- for every real,
+-- non-self unit, NPCs included. This is done entirely inside our own dropdown:
+-- no hooksecurefunc, and no mutation of Blizzard's shared UnitPopupMenus tables
+-- (so default frames and other addons are unaffected). Because
+-- UnitPopup_ShowMenu hardwires every button's click to UnitPopup_OnClick (which
+-- does not know our keys), we add the Focus button ourselves with our own func.
+-- To keep Cancel last, we show the standard menu MINUS its trailing Cancel,
+-- then append Focus and Cancel.
+--
+-- This also fixes NPCs opening no menu at all: an NPC resolves to the
+-- RAID_TARGET_ICON menu, whose entries UnitPopup_HideButtons hides entirely
+-- unless you are in a group and can place markers -- so solo the menu was
+-- empty and never opened. Appending Focus + Cancel ourselves guarantees the

 # ClassicAPI
 
-A small DLL for World of Warcraft 1.12.1 (Vanilla / Turtle WoW) that adds a
-collection of Lua API calls Blizzard never exposed in 1.12 but which make
-addon authoring noticeably less painful — primarily for backporting addons
-written against later API versions (3.3.5+) where these calls do exist.
+ClassicAPI is a DLL for World of Warcraft 1.12.1 (Vanilla / Turtle WoW). It
+backports a large part of the modern WoW API — 550+ functions and 50+ events,
+plus much of Lua 5.1 — into the 1.12 client, so addons written for later
+versions (3.3.5+ or Classic Era) run with little or no change.
 
-The DLL hooks the FrameScript engine after WoW boots and registers its
-extensions through the same in-engine mechanisms WoW uses for its own Lua
-functions. No companion addon is required.
+It hooks the engine after WoW boots and registers everything the same way WoW
+registers its own Lua functions. Nothing else to install — the DLL is
+self-contained.
 
-## What's added
+## Highlights
 
-Full per-function reference: **[docs/API.md](docs/API.md)**.
+The headline features. Each one takes effect as soon as the DLL loads, so your
+existing addons benefit without any code changes. The complete per-function
+reference is in **[docs/API.md](docs/API.md)**.
 
-### Calls
+### Lua 5.1 compatibility
+
+The flagship feature: run modern Lua 5.1 addon code on 1.12's Lua 5.0 VM.
+
+| Feature | Effect |
+|---------|--------|
+| [Syntax](docs/API.md#lua-51-syntax) | Compiles the Lua 5.1 length (`#`), modulo (`%`), `...`-expression, `0x` hex-literal, and leveled long bracket (`[=[ ]=]`) syntax that vanilla's Lua 5.0 rejects, by rewriting addon source before it compiles. Each addon file also receives its `(name, table)` through `...` (`local name, tbl = ...`). |
+| [String methods](docs/API.md#string-methods-supper-sformat) | Every string value accepts method calls — `("asd"):upper()`, `("%d gold"):format(n)`, `msg:match("^!(%w+)")` — resolving through the `string` table, the way Lua 5.1 works. Works on literals and variables, in-world and on the login screen, and inside coroutines. |
+| [Script-handler arguments](docs/API.md#setmodernscriptargsenable--getmodernscriptargs) | Frame-script handlers receive their values as positional arguments — `OnMouseWheel(self, delta)`, `OnClick(self, button)`, `OnEvent(self, event, ...)`, etc. — so modern addon ports work unmodified. The `this` / `arg1` globals stay set. A handler that declares no parameters is unaffected. A handler that declared a parameter and expected nil now receives its real value. On by default. `SetModernScriptArgs(false)` restores exact vanilla dispatch. |
+
+### Modern client behaviors
+
+| Feature | Effect |
+|---------|--------|
+| Inline textures | Draws inline texture markup (`\|T…\|t`) as icons in FontStrings, chat, and tooltips. This covers item and spell icons, raid-target markers, and the coin icons in money strings. `GetStringWidth` and `GetStringHeight` count the icons, so measured width and text wrapping stay correct. Done in pure C++ by hooking the engine's text pipeline — no addon. |
+| Tooltip line cap | Lifts `GameTooltip`'s hard 30-line limit to 60 for every `GameTooltipTemplate` frame (`GameTooltip`, `ShoppingTooltip1/2`, `ItemRefTooltip`, AtlasLoot, …). Stat-heavy tooltips and comparison blocks (e.g. pfUI's eqcompare) no longer have their extra lines silently dropped. Done in pure C++ by growing the engine's FontString pool at tooltip-creation time. |
+| [Event-driven nameplates](docs/API.md#nameplate) | The modern `C_NamePlate` API, driven by real events. `NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED` / `NAME_PLATE_UNIT_REMOVED` fire as plates appear and vanish, `nameplate1`..`nameplateN` tokens resolve with every `UnitX` function (and fire `UNIT_HEALTH`, `UNIT_AURA`, … as `arg1 == "nameplateN"`), and `C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit` / `GetNamePlates` hand back the live frames. |
+| [Focus target](docs/API.md#focus) | A sticky focus unit. `FocusUnit("target")` pins it and `ClearFocus()` drops it, with `PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED` on every change. The `focus` / `focustarget` tokens resolve with every `UnitX` function and fire unit events (`UNIT_HEALTH`, `UNIT_AURA`, … as `arg1 == "focus"`), and the predefined `FOCUSTARGET` / `TARGETFOCUS` keybinds are ready to set. |
+| [Retail-like `/reload`](docs/API.md#reload-picks-up-new-addons-and-new-files) | `/reload` picks up addon changes made while the game runs. A new folder under `Interface\AddOns\` registers and loads as a normal addon, new files added to an existing addon's TOC load, a newly installed addon's first SavedVariables save survives `/reload`, `##` metadata edits (`## SavedVariables:`, `## Dependencies:`, `## Title:`, …) take effect, and a deleted addon folder drops from the addon list. |
+| [Multi-flavor & conditional TOC](docs/API.md#conditional-and-multi-flavor-toc-loading) | Loads modern multi-flavor addons that ship one folder. Selects a version-specific TOC (`<Name>_ClassicAPI.toc` or `<Name>_Turtle.toc`) and the matching keybinding file (`Bindings_ClassicAPI.xml` / `Bindings_Turtle.xml`), accepts a comma-separated `## Interface:` version list (compatible when it includes the client version `11200`), and honors per-line `[AllowLoadGameType]` / `[AllowLoadTextLocale]` conditions and `[Family]` / `[Game]` / `[TextLocale]` path variables inside a TOC. |

+ClassicAPI backports the direct-action and temporary override
+binding families. Permanent bindings use the standard `SPELL`, `ITEM`,
+`MACRO`, and `CLICK` command strings and can be saved normally. Overrides are
+session-only, frame-owned, and support the usual priority flag.

+
+The 1.12 text engine shows `|Tpath:height:width:…|t` markup as literal text.
+This project makes it draw the icon inline in FontStrings, chat, and tooltips —
+the way 4.3.4 and later clients do. The feature is complete and shipped
+([src/text/InlineTexture.cpp](../src/text/InlineTexture.cpp),
+[src/text/InlineTexturePool.cpp](../src/text/InlineTexturePool.cpp)).
+
+This file is the reverse-engineering map. **Current design** below states what
+ships today. Everything from **Goal & spec** down is the historical RE trail —
+the 4.3.4 study, the 1.12 injection map, and the bring-up plan. It is kept for
+the addresses and the reasoning, not as a description of the current code.
+
+## Current design (shipped)
+
+Each icon renders as an **engine-managed region** (a pooled `CSimpleTexture`)
+anchored to its owning FontString. The engine draws the region every frame and
+moves it with its line, so texture residency and scroll tracking are correct by
+construction. (A raw-GxU-quad renderer existed during bring-up and was removed
+in `56c2670`; its RE is the "REMOVED" section below.)
+
+The DLL hooks the engine's own text pipeline — no companion addon:
+
+- **Positioning** — a co-hook on the glyph emitter `FUN_005ccbe0` records each
+  icon at its pen position and delegates the plain text runs to the engine
+  (segmented delegation, below). The pen read-back needed a fix: the engine's
+  pen is lazy and omits the last glyph's own advance, so a coin sat on its
+  digits; the emitter now adds the true terminal advance from the engine's own
+  glyph-advance helpers (`550cf5e`).
+- **Rendering** — the paint-pass co-hook `FUN_005c8fe0` walks the icon records
+  and queues each to `Text::InlineTexturePool`, which places the region on the
+  next frame tick (never mid-render).
+- **Chat has no one-frame lag** — a ScrollingMessageFrame re-`SetText`s every
+  visible line on each new message, and the engine builds each line lazily at
+  paint, so a line's icons would land one frame after its glyphs (glyphs draw
+  synchronously; the icon regions are separate objects whose placement is only
+  known once the line builds mid-paint, after the frame's texture pass already
+  drew). A co-hook on the SMF display refresh (`FUN_00788750`, which runs
+  pre-render from the frame's own methods) forces each icon-bearing line to
+  resolve+build and applies its icon placement synchronously — before the frame
+  draws — so icons move in lockstep with their text. It reuses the engine's own
+  `Realize(0)` → `RebuildString` → ensure-built path and the same placement math
+  the paint flush uses (`ComputePlacementsForNode`), so the later flush dedups to
+  a no-op. Additive and best-effort: any line whose rect isn't resolvable in time
+  falls back to the paint + tick pipeline (correct, one-frame lagged). A pure
+  scroll or drag never lagged — the icons are anchored to the line and the engine
+  moves them for free; only content changes on a reused line needed this.
+- **Placement coordinates** — text pen space IS render-target pixels. The
+  engine stores node positions NORMALIZED (fs-local anchor ÷
+  `[0x832A44]`/`[0x832A48]` per axis, `FUN_0041ade0`), and the origin finalize
+  `FUN_005cdf70` multiplies by the integer raster dimensions
+  `[0xC2B9A4]`/`[0xC2B9A0]` (rounded, with the justify shift and vertical
+  align folded in). So the flush converts pen → fs-relative anchor with
+  `K = raster ÷ anchorExtent`, **per axis**, from those four live globals — no
+  calibration, no cache, correct at every resolution and UI scale (`968335d`).
+  Two earlier forms both failed: an empirical K (`origin ÷ rect edge`) that
+  chat could never self-derive (its rect edge sits near screen x = 0 and
+  failed the divide guard) and so rode a global cache seeded by whichever
+  fontstring derived first — right only at the layout it was calibrated on;
+  then a closed form built from the SetPoint px factor, which used the wrong
+  global pair. Full derivation chain at `VAR_TEXT_RASTER_X/Y` in `Offsets.h`.
+- **Fade / parent alpha** — icons fade with their line (the pool mirrors the
+  fs's folded colour alpha per frame, `3ca3b7e`), and segmented GLYPHS do too:
+  a bit-3 (standalone FontString) node's baked per-glyph colours never re-bake
+  on an alpha change (the engine's colour-change invalidate `FUN_005ccb40`
+  skips bit-3 nodes), so the flush mirrors the node's live alpha byte
+  (node+0x2c — SetTextColor alpha × frame-chain alpha, kept folded by the
+  engine) into every baked colour, change-detected per page (`bd14a93`). An
+  earlier `0xFF` alpha force at emit was a misdiagnosis of a bubble that built
+  while faded out; it froze icon-line text fully opaque while everything
+  around it faded.
+- **Outlined fonts** — outline ink extends past the glyph advances; the
+  engine itself grows line height by exactly 4.0 / 2.0 pen px for thick / thin
+  outline (`face+0x180` bits 3 / 0, `.rdata` constants). `OutlineInkPen` reads
+  the same flags and constants, and half the ink leads each icon, half trails
+  — threaded through the shared advance helper so the emitter advance, the
+  justify pre-shift, and the wrap-stepper probes all agree. Without it, coins
+  clipped into outlined digits the moment the exact K removed the old
+  miscalibration's accidental slack (`968335d`).
+- **Measure** — three cold FontString-level co-hooks make measure match the
+  drawn result: width (`FUN_00772890`), height (`FUN_007729B0`), and wrap
+  (`FUN_005C7260`). `GetStringWidth`, `fontstring:GetStringHeight`, wrap
+  breaks, and line height all count the icon.
+- **Tall icons** — an icon taller than the font grows its line height, so it
+  does not overlap its neighbors, and it centers in the grown line. A hyperlink
+  that contains a tall icon is hoverable across the whole icon
+  (`49934b0`, `b9d0705`).
+- **Chat fade** — icons fade in lockstep with their chat line (`3ca3b7e`).
+- **Editboxes** — an editbox keeps the raw markup, so the caret stays aligned
+  (two complementary signals, below).
+- **Payload** — the full
+  `|Tpath:height:width:offsetX:offsetY:texW:texH:left:right:top:bottom:r:g:b|t`:
+  size, pen offset, sprite-sheet crop, and vertex tint. BLP and uncompressed
+  TGA.
+- **Anti-spoof** — chat strips player-injected `|T` icons.
+
+Every fs-level measure path now counts icons: width (`FUN_00772890`), height
+(`FUN_007729B0`), wrap (`FUN_005C7260`), and the substring measure
+(`FUN_00772AE0` — an earlier note claimed nothing consumed it; its xrefs
+refute that: the GameTooltip auto-size measures each WRAPPED SEGMENT of a
+wrap-enabled line through it, so icon-bearing wrapped tooltip lines
+undersized their tooltip until it was hooked too). The Lua control surface is
+two toggles: `_classicapi_InlineTexEnable` (the whole-feature kill switch; the
+SEH latch trips it on a flush fault) and `_classicapi_InlineTexEarly` (the
+SMF-refresh early apply above — on by default, toggle off to A/B the chat lag
+against the baseline paint+tick pipeline, which keeps running either way). The
+bring-up tune / stat / probe functions were removed (`5e5677b`, `6800a9a`).
+
+## REMOVED (bring-up record) — the raw-GxU-quad rendering primitive
+
+This was the FIRST renderer: each icon drawn as a raw textured quad through the
+text VB path. It shipped, then was removed in `56c2670` for the engine-region
+model (regions are resident by construction; the quad path needed the texture-
+residency machinery below and still flickered on VRAM pressure — see
+`docs/InlineTextureResidency.md`). This section is the address record for the
+removed code, not a description of the current renderer. `LoadTextureByPath`,
+`DrawTexturedQuad`, and the GxU device offsets it names are gone from
+`Offsets.h`; the values live here and in git history.
+
+An arbitrary texture draws through the text VB path as a coloured, alpha-blended
+quad. The end-to-end recipe:
+
+1. **Load by path** — `LoadTextureByPath` replicates `FUN_00770200`'s load: build
+   flags via `FUN_0058a980(&flags, DAT_00878cf0, 0,0, 0,0,0, 1, 0)`, then
+   `FUN_00449d90(path, &desc, flags, 0, 1)` with a byte-identical 5-dword desc
+   (`{PTR_FUN_007ffa10, 8, &self8, (&self8)|1, 0}`). Returns the **HTEXTURE**
+   (0x15c-byte struct; path@+0xc, flags@+0x110, refcount@+4).
+2. **THE KEY — residency + correct bind via `FUN_0044acf0(HTEXTURE, 1, 0)`.**
+   This is the engine's own "get renderable texture" call (what the widget
+   render uses every frame). It returns the bindable **CGxTexture** at
+   `[HTEXTURE+0x140]` and, with force=1, drives the streaming load
+   (`FUN_0044ad50` submits/prioritises it via `[HTEXTURE+0x138]`). **Calling it
+   every frame is the live reference that makes the texture resident** — no
+   hidden widget, no manual BLP decode. This was the entire multi-session
+   blocker: WoW streams textures and only loads ones a live frame references; a
+   standalone `FUN_00449d90` texture never loads on its own. Binding the raw
+   HTEXTURE is `SetTexture([HTEXTURE+0x48]=0)` = a **white** quad; the D3D
+   handle lives on the CGxTexture (`[CGxTexture+0x48]`), not the HTEXTURE.
+   Dead ends that wasted time: manually invoking the decode callback
+   `FUN_0044a260` (fills `[+0x120]` but not the bindable `+0x140`, and faults);
+   binding `[HTEXTURE+0x48]` or `[HTEXTURE+0x120]` (both wrong offsets); forcing
+   the streamable flag `tex[0x3c]|=0x80` (crashes in d3d9 — the bind's stream-in
+   vfunc corrupts the resource).
+3. **Bind** — `FUN_00589e80(0x17, cgxTex)` (selector 0x17 = text texture stage).
+4. **Colour** — the font stage's default stage-0 COLOROP is already MODULATE, so
+   `texture.rgb × diffuse(white)` = the icon's true colours; texture alpha works
+   too. No colorop override is needed for a plain white vertex. (If a tint is
+   wanted later: COLOROP is D3DTSS internal state `0x42` via `FUN_005a2570`; the
+   engine leaves COLORARG1 at the D3D default = TEXTURE. Do NOT poke it directly
+   mid-draw — it leaks `MODULATE` to the whole UI when a fault skips the restore.
+   Use the engine's selector `0x1f` (value→COLOROP/ALPHAOP preset table at
+   `DAT_0080a25c`/`DAT_0080a274`; value 1 = MODULATE/MODULATE).)
+5. **Quad** — lock the shared dynamic VB `FUN_0058a140(0, 0x18, 0x800)`, get the
+   write ptr `FUN_0058a080`, write **4 verts** of the format
+   `{float x,y,z; u32 colorBGRA; float u,v}` (stride 0x18) in corner order
+   **TL, TR, BL, BR** (matches the shared quad index buffer `{0,1,2, 2,1,3}` and
+   the device cull winding), submit `FUN_005c8f40(&handle, 4)`, unlock
+   `FUN_0058a0a0(handle, 0)`.
+6. **Where** — co-hook the text paint pass `FUN_005c8fe0` and draw after the
+   original glyph flush (device is in the correct textured-UI state there).
+   Coordinate space is **per-layout pixels, y-down**; glyph verts live at small
+   local coords (a probed glyph was at ~(9,33)–(17,50)). Draw coords must be
+   within the layout's rendered area (a fixed (100,100) test lands in chat).
+
+The build-side gotcha: the D3D device (default backend, `FUN_0058dd70`) is
+actually **OpenGL** (`glMaterialfv`/`glFogi`) — the D3D backend is `FUN_0058ba70`
+(`FUN_00598ce0`, vtable `PTR_FUN_00809ef8`); its state applier is `vtable[1]` =
+`FUN_005a2f00`, which maps engine selectors to D3D via `FUN_005a2570`
+(SetRenderState `+0xe4`, SetTextureStageState `+0x10c`, SetSamplerState `+0x114`,
+SetTexture `+0x104`). Selector map (shared across GL/D3D backends): 7=blend,
+0x10=depthtest, 0x14=cullface, 0x17-0x1e=texture bind (8 units),
+0x1f-0x26=colorop/alphaop preset (unit 0-7).
+
+## SOLVED — positioning, measure/wrap, editbox exclusion, texcoords
+
+The primitive draws at arbitrary coords; the rest is knowing WHERE and WHEN.
+Everything is in [src/text/InlineTexture.cpp](../src/text/InlineTexture.cpp);

+### The text render hierarchy (verified)
+
+```
+frame → renderNode [frame+0x118] → group [renderNode+0x18]
+      → node [group+0x18]        → line [node+0x24]  ← the emitter's `this`
+```
+
+- Main UI render `FUN_007657d0(DAT_00cf0bd8)` walks strata → frames, calls
+  `FUN_0076fb00(renderNode)` per frame's render node.
+- `FUN_0076fb00` draws the frame's Texture regions then `FUN_005c1ef0(group)` →
+  `FUN_005c8b70(group)` → `FUN_005c8fe0(node)` per node.
+- `FUN_005c8fe0(node)` = the **paint pass** we co-hook: ensures each line built
+  (`FUN_005cd6a0` → `FUN_005cdc20` → the emitter), then binds each font page and
+  copies the line's per-page glyph batches into the dynamic VB, translated by the
+  line origin `[line+0x70]/[+0x74]`.
+- The **emitter** `FUN_005ccbe0(line, text, len, colorState, penXYZ, pageMask,
+  linkState)` builds one wrapped line's glyph quads. `this` (the "line"/node the
+  icon list keys on) owns batches `[+0xa0+page*4]` and origin `[+0x70]`. **Note
+  the render node the emitter sees has NO back-pointer up to the frame** — the
+  editbox discriminator had to be found another way (see below).
+
+### Positioning — segmented delegation (co-hook the emitter)
+
+We do NOT reimplement the emitter's intricate glyph vertex math. Instead, in the
+`FUN_005ccbe0` co-hook, for a line containing an inline texture:
+
+1. Split the line at icon boundaries. Render each **plain run** by calling the
+   ORIGINAL emitter on just that substring — the engine still draws every glyph.
+2. Thread the pen across runs: on return the emitter leaves the final node-local
+   pen x in **`linkState[4]`**, stored with `FSTP dword` — a **FLOAT bit
+   pattern**, not an int. Read it as a float (`*(float*)&linkState[4]`); an
+   int-cast yields garbage (this bug hid the icon off-screen and dropped the
+   trailing text).
+3. Record an `IconRecord` at the pen (node-local `x`,`y`) into `g_nodeIcons[line]`
+   and advance the pen by the icon width. No draw runs during the build — icons
+   are recorded and **flushed** in the `FUN_005c8fe0` paint co-hook, which
+   computes each icon's pen-space position (line origin `[line+0x70]/[+0x74]`
+   maps node-local → pen, the same translate the glyph copy `FUN_005c8710`
+   applies), converts pen → anchor with the per-axis K (see **Placement
+   coordinates** in Current design), and queues it to `Text::InlineTexturePool`
+   as a placement RELATIVE TO THE OWNING FONTSTRING. The pool applies
+   placements on the next frame tick.
+4. Restore `penXYZ[0]` on exit (the original never writes it; the draw builder
+   does NOT reset it between left-justified lines, so leaving it mutated
+   cascade-shifts every following line).
+
+### FontString pipe-doubling — the escape arrives as `||T…||t`
+
+The FontString text sanitizer **doubles any pipe that doesn't begin a recognized
+escape** so it renders as a literal `|`. 1.12 doesn't know `|T`, so a caller's
+`|Tpath:h|t` reaches the emitter as `||Tpath:h||t` (verified: emitter text length
++2, pipes doubled). The detector therefore matches BOTH the doubled form (the
+real-world case) and a clean `|T` (should one ever arrive undoubled). Normal
+doubled pipes (`|| `) never match because the next char must be `T`.
+
+### bit-3 batch-clear mode
+
+The emitter clears the line's page batches at its top only when node flag
+`[line+0x5c] & 0x08` is set (the FontString/static case). Calling the original
+per segment would then wipe all but the last run. Handled by doing the clear
+ONCE per build (a `len==0` original call with bit 3 still set), then clearing
+bit 3 so the per-segment calls APPEND, restoring flags on exit. Bit 5 (shadow)
+isn't set for these nodes, so the only added work is a harmless colour append.
+
+Clearing bit 3 has one more consequence: it switches the engine from the
+UNIFORM colour path (node+0x2c, consulted live at every paint) to baked
+PER-GLYPH colours the paint uses verbatim. The build-time alpha in colorState
+is already correct (the engine folds SetTextColor alpha × frame-chain alpha
+into node+0x2c on every alpha change), but the baked copies never refresh —
+the flush's alpha mirror keeps them tracking later fades. See **Fade / parent
+alpha** in Current design.
+
+### Multi-line / multi-icon accumulation
+
+The draw builder walks a node's wrapped lines by calling the emitter repeatedly
+on the SAME node, advancing the text pointer. So the icon list is cleared ONCE
+per build — on the first wrapped line, detected by `text == [node+0x48]` (the
+node's text start) — and icons ACCUMULATE across lines. Multiple icons per line
+fall out of the segmentation loop naturally.
+
+### Vertical centring — font-relative
+
+`penXYZ[1]` sits near the text TOP, so the icon centre = `penY + fontHeight *
+g_centerFrac` (0.6, calibrated in-game across chat + pfUI's bubble). Font height
+comes from the engine's own `FUN_005c6fa0(flag, [node+0x1c])` (the emitter's
+glyph-sizing call), so centring holds across font sizes without a fixed pixel
+nudge. A TALL icon (height > font) centres in its GROWN line (see the tall-icon
+sections in Current design) — the string-height co-hook adds the overflow, so
+the extra room sits half above and half below the text.
+
+### Measure / wrap — co-hook the tokenizer
+
+Line wrap is decided by the measure/fit functions (`FUN_005c6940`, `FUN_005c7470`
+via `FUN_005c7260`), which all share the `|`-tokenizer `FUN_005c2810`. Left
+alone, they count the hidden path text and wrap early. Fix: co-hook the
+tokenizer — when it's at an inline-texture span, consume the whole span as ONE
+near-zero-width token so every measure/fit caller ignores the path characters.
+The emitter detects icons independently (it scans the raw bytes), so the draw
+path is unaffected.
+
+### Measure width: FIXED at the fs-level choke (`GetStringWidth` counts icons)
+
+The tokenizer reports an icon span as a **near-zero-width** token, so at the
+gxu loop level every measure caller counts the icon as ~0 pixels wide. (The
+emitter still reserves the render width, so text after an icon positions
+correctly.) An earlier version of this doc concluded that the gap could not
+be closed cleanly, because the gxu engine has **no single cold choke**:
+
+- `FUN_005c6940` (width), `FUN_005c7470`/`FUN_005c7260` (wrap), and the
+  hit-test loop each tokenize and accrue width independently.
+- The token contract has no width field.
+- The per-glyph helpers (`FUN_005cabd0`/`FUN_005c6b70`) are the hottest text
+  functions in the engine.
+
+That analysis was right about the gxu level. The choke sits ONE LEVEL UP:
+**`FUN_00772890` = `CSimpleFontString::GetStringWidthInternal`**
+(`Offsets::FUN_FONTSTRING_STRING_WIDTH`) is cold, MinHook-safe, and the single
+funnel for exactly 4 callers:
+
+- `Script_GetStringWidth` (0x0079E510)
+- the GameTooltip auto-size (0x00530640)
+- the editbox caret positioner (0x0077DE70)
+- the layout effective-width vmethod (`FUN_00772930` = fs+0x24 vtbl +0x1C,
+  which feeds auto-width fontstring layout)
+
+It lazily computes into the `fs+0xFC` cache (anchor units, 0.0 sentinel) via
+the measure core `FUN_0044D670`, then divides the pen-space result by
+`fs+0x7C`.
+
+The co-hook lives in `src/text/InlineTexture.cpp`. It calls the original,
+then adds `SumIconAdvances(text) / K` when two gates pass:
+
+- `InlineInterceptActive(text)` is true — the **same predicate** the tokenizer
+  hook stands down on, factored into one function so measure and render can
+  never disagree.
+- The fs is not an editbox: `fs+0x120 & 0x1000` is clear (the fs-level bit
+  `FUN_0044D670` translates into the gxu editbox flag 0x40).
+
+The icon sum is computed in TRUE PEN PX — the exact numbers the emitter
+reserves — and bridged into the getter's return space by the font height
+known in both spaces: `sumPen × (fontHInt / fontHPen)`. `ResolveFsPenFont`
+replicates the render chain: `fontHPen = round((fontHInt × fs+0x7C, floored
+at [0x801628]/rasterY) × rasterY)` (the rebuild's node fontSize + the node
+ctor's min clamp + the emitter's own height helper), and the outline ink
+resolves through `face = [[fs+0xE0]+0x20]` — the same object the node stores
+at +0x44. fs-built nodes are always in snap mode (no fs-flag maps to node
+bit 7), so the snap-truncated advances are exact. The per-icon advance comes
+from `IconAdvancePen`, the **same helper** the emitter reserves with — so the
+measured width matches the rendered width by construction, outline ink and
+pixel snapping included. (An earlier bridge used the SetPoint push factor
+`div×1024/mul ≈ 1468` as the intermediate — the units cancelled for `:0`
+icons, but it couldn't express the truncation or the ink.)
+
+Unit trap (hit on first flight): escape sizes are UI PIXELS. Do NOT divide
+the icon sum by `fs+0x7C` — that field is the layout UI *scale* (~0.68–1.0).
+The original's own `out / fs+0x7C` applies to a value the measure core
+already ran through the `FUN_0041AD80` gxu→internal converter, not to raw
+pixels. The `/0x7C` version measured a 16px icon as +44k px.
+
+The hook NEVER writes the `fs+0xFC` cache: the original can serve the cached
+value, so the icon sum is re-derived and re-added per call (idempotent).
+
+The same hook also fixes two layout consumers for free: tooltips auto-size
+wide enough for icon-bearing lines, and auto-width fontstrings lay out at
+their true rendered width.
+
+### Wrap: FIXED at the shared stepper (`FUN_TEXT_WRAP_STEPPER` = 0x005C7260)
+
+Wrap decisions also measured icons as ~0, so a chat line with prefix icons
+broke as if the icons were not there and the emitter's real advances ran past
+the right edge. The choke is the wrap-stepper dispatcher `FUN_005C7260`: it
+lays out one wrapped line per call, and its exactly 4 callers are EVERY wrap
+consumer — the draw builder `FUN_005CDC20` (render breaks), the height
+measure `FUN_005C2070`, the chars-that-fit counter `FUN_005C21C0` (ellipsis),
+and the break-array computer `FUN_005C2430` (behind `FUN_00772B60`).
+
+The co-hook shrinks the `wrapWidth` argument by a **minimal feasible
+shrink**, gated on the same `InlineInterceptActive` predicate plus the flags
+editbox bit 0x40 the dispatcher already carries. The stepper reports each
+probe's measured (icons-at-zero) line width in `outWidth`, which gives a
+direct feasibility check: the line renders inside the frame iff its icons
+fit in the shrink plus the spare the break left (`iconSum ≤ s + (probeW −
+outWidth)`). The hook probes sandboxed (local out-params plus a COPY of the
+`p10` in/out state byte, so the caller's first-line state is not consumed):
+s = 0 first (feasible → no shrink at all — the common short-message case),
+escalate by the measured deficit when infeasible, bisect down after the
+first feasible hit; ≤8 probes, and with no feasible hit the last escalation
+target wins (wraps early rather than overflowing). The feasibility check
+carries a HALF-GLYPH tolerance: an auto-width fontstring (single anchor, no
+width — e.g. pfUI's addon-list labels) wraps at the icon-inclusive string
+width our GetStringWidth hook feeds the effective-width vmethod, so its line
+fits with exactly zero slack, and cross-computation drift between the two
+hooks' unit chains (plus OUTLINE extras and the trailing-glyph quirk) read
+"fits exactly" as "1px over" — shrinking a zero-slack line forces a wrap
+that had no business existing. Genuine icon overflow is ≥ a full icon, so
+half a glyph separates drift from real overflow. `outBreak` and
+`outNext − text` are byte counts; `outBreak == len` means the whole text
+fit. Two rejected earlier schemes, for the record: a naive whole-remaining-
+text sum shredded an 8-icon line to one word per line, and a fixed-point
+iteration on the icon count oscillated (a ~55-byte zero-width escape makes
+the break↔icon-count coupling discontinuous — no fixed point exists).
+`text` always points at the REMAINING text, so a continuation line whose
+icons are behind it gets sum = 0. Because all four consumers share the hook,
+render breaks, `GetStringHeight`, truncation, and break arrays shift
+together. (A `_classicapi_InlineTexWrap(n)` ring dumped the last 8
+icon-bearing calls during bring-up; removed with the other diagnostics in
+`5e5677b`.)
+
+Unit trap #2 (hit TWICE): the stepper's inputs are gxu-normalized, PER AXIS —
+fontH is normalized-Y (× rasterY = pen px) and wrapWidth/outWidth are
+normalized-X (× rasterX = pen px). Both caller flavors land there: the draw
+builder passes node+0x1C/+0x3C (normalized at block creation), and the
+fs-level callers (the path chat wraps through) x-normalize their widths
+inside `FUN_0044d670` before gxu. First flight subtracted raw pixels and
+annihilated the small normalized widths (2-glyph chat fragments). The second
+converted with `fontH / fontHPx` — a Y-AXIS factor applied to an X-axis
+width — overshrinking the budget by the render aspect (×1.33 at 4:3, ×2.37
+at 2560×1080): icon-bearing chat lines wrapped a word or two early, worse per
+icon and per aspect. The correct pen-x → width-units factor is `1/rasterX`,
+and the glyph-relative tolerances use `fontHPx/rasterX` so "half a glyph"
+means an actual glyph width.
+
+**Chat hyperlink hover over inline icons works (verified).** An emote wrapped in a
+hyperlink — `|Htel:name|h|T…|t|h`, the TwitchEmotes pattern — pops its tooltip when
+you hover the *icon*, not just adjacent text. The hover region is NOT re-measured
+on hover: the engine records each hyperlink's screen rect at layout time into a
+`GXUFONTHYPERLINKINFO` array (32-byte entries: rect + link data) via `FUN_005cd310`,
+called from the draw builder `FUN_005cdc20` — the same layout pass that runs the
+line through our co-hooked tokenizer (`FUN_005c2810`) and wrap-stepper
+(`FUN_005c7260`). So the recorded rect rides the same icon-aware position
+accounting the wrap fix installs; the icon lands inside the hover region for free,
+and hovering it fires the frame's `OnHyperlinkEnter`. This is a consequence of the
+wrap fix, not a separate feature. (Ghidra caveat: the decompile of the
+`FUN_005cd310` call args is mangled — a pointer-as-float + an uninitialized temp —
+so this is confirmed by the call path plus in-game test, not the byte-level
+formula.)
+
+**Still icon-blind (accepted residuals):**
+
+- Sub-pixel only for a string-final icon: the width hooks report its INK edge
+  (advance minus the trail half-pad/ink — `TrailingIconTrimPen`), matching the
+  engine's own last-glyph convention (the gxu width loop ends on ink, not
+  advance — the source of the old −0.8px measurement, whose previous-glyph
+  advance treatment is semantically CORRECT once an icon renders after it).
+  What remains is the icon region's ±0.5px placement rounding and the base
+  loop's ~0 contribution for the payload-0 icon token.
+- An fs whose `fs+0xFC` cache was filled while the feature was toggled
+  differently (`_classicapi_InlineTexEnable`) keeps its old base width until
+  the next `SetText`/font change re-dirties it. Debug-toggle-only.
+
+**Editbox measure stays raw (by design).** The caret/measure path reads the
+focused editbox's INPUT buffer in place, and the tokenizer stands down on it
+per-editbox (`TextInFocusedEditbox` pointer-range test — not a global focus
+check), so caret math measures the raw `|T…|t` literal the editbox renders.
+The width hook mirrors that with the `fs+0x120 & 0x1000` editable gate. One
+marginal wobble: the focused single-line chat editbox's display fontstring
+carries editable=0 (only multi-line editors set the bit), so the caret
+positioner's line-boundary branch (multi-line-only in practice) can see an
+icon-adjusted `FUN_00772890` on it. Closing that costs a per-token content
+compare, which is not worth it.
+
+### Editbox exclusion — two COMPLEMENTARY signals (bit 6 + focus global)
+
+Editable text must show raw, editable `|T…|t` markup, not rendered icons — you
+edit macros, tweak icon fields, copy/paste texture strings. **This is
+retail-correct, verified in-game on a modern client:** typing
+`|TInterface\Icons\INV_Misc_Coin_01:16|t` into the chat entry box OR a macro body
+shows it **raw** (no icon) — Blizzard neutralizes player-*typed* escape sequences
+as anti-abuse — while addon/system text (`AddMessage`, `GetCoinTextureString`)
+renders. Retail's discriminator is the text's SOURCE (trusted vs player-typed),
+not editbox-vs-display; a shift-clicked item link renders in the chat box because
+it's inserted through the trusted path, but a typed `|T`/`|c` does not. Our
+editbox-raw + display-renders split reproduces the same observable outcome. (One
+mechanism-level divergence we accept: our editbox-raw uses the GLOBAL focus signal
+below, so while an editbox is focused OTHER display text that rebuilds also
+briefly shows raw; retail suppresses per-source. Cosmetic, and a per-editbox fix
+would need hot-path text-buffer matching — not worth it.) 1.12's tokenizer,
+unlike 4.3.4's, has no per-render texture-disable bit (4.3.4 uses tokenizer flag
+**0x1000** to kill only `|T`, **0x800** to kill all escapes), and editbox text
+nodes are NOT distinguishable by class from the render node — the emitter can't
+reach the owning frame. It takes **two signals together**, not one (an earlier
+version of this note wrongly called the focus global a redundant "belt-and-
+suspenders fallback" — removing it renders the chat/copy boxes' `|T` as icons):
+
+- **Node flag `[node+0x5c]` bit 6 (0x40) = EDITABLE** — catches the **macro
+  editor** (`MacroFrameText`, flags `0x4D`), which builds its layout once,
+  **un-focused**, so the focus global never sees it. But single-line inputs
+  (chat entry box, `pfChatCopyBox`) have bit 6 **CLEAR** — their nodes are
+  `0x0D`/`0x20D`, identical to display FontStrings — so bit 6 can't catch them.
+- **Focused-editbox global `DAT_00cf4dc8`** (`InputFocused()`; holds the editbox
+  with keyboard focus, cleared by `ClearFocus` = `FUN_0077e410`) — catches those
+  single-line inputs. It's GLOBAL (true UI-wide, not per-node), which is why,
+  while an editbox is focused, other display text that *rebuilds* also briefly
+  renders raw. That's an accepted tradeoff: there is no per-node signal for
+  single-line inputs, and when you're in an editbox seeing raw markup is what you
+  want anyway.
+
+**Why the tokenizer's bit-6 gate is load-bearing for RENDER, not just measure:**
+when the emitter suppresses an editbox it delegates to the ORIGINAL emitter,
+which **re-enters the tokenizer** to lay out glyphs (`FUN_005ccbe0` →
+`FUN_005c2810`). On that render path `flags` is the node's own flags, so bit
+0x40 makes the tokenizer stand down and the `|T` draws as literal text. Drop the
+bit-6 gate and the (un-focused) macro editor draws **BLANK** — the tokenizer eats
+the span as a zero-width token and the original emitter renders nothing (verified
+in-game). Focused single-line inputs get the same "don't intercept" via
+`Suppressed()` → `InputFocused()`. So both the emitter and the tokenizer consult
+`Suppressed() || bit-6`; the two must agree or you get blank-vs-raw mismatches.
+
+(Dead end: **monochrome render flag `DAT_00c2b9dc`** (`FUN_005c8b70` sets it per
+group) — un-set at MacroFrameText's build time and flickered as a flush gate.
+Dropped. The editbox class vtable is `0x0081c8c0`, its script-slot resolver
+`FUN_0077a310` with focus slots at `+0x438`/`+0x440` — useful if a frame-level
+hook is ever needed.)
+
+### Descriptor fields + the vertical flip
+
+`ParseIcon` handles the full positional payload
+`path:height:width:offsetX:offsetY:texW:texH:left:right:top:bottom:r:g:b`.
+Texcoords crop a sprite sheet to one cell: `u = left/texW, right/texW`,
+`v = top/texH, bottom/texH` — e.g. `UI-RaidTargetingIcons` is a 256×256 sheet,
+4×2 grid of 64×64, so marker N's cell is `256:256:<col*64>:<+64>:<row*64>:<+64>`.
+
+**Vertex colour (`r:g:b`, 0-255):** the last three positional fields tint the
+icon. They pack to `0xFFrrggbb` — the same `0xAARRGGBB` order the tokenizer's
+`|cAARRGGBB` colour path builds (verified from `FUN_005c2810`'s colour branch),
+so the value flows straight into the quad's vertex colour and the font stage's
+default MODULATE COLOROP multiplies `texture.rgb × tint`. White (`255:255:255`,
+the default) = untinted. Because parsing is positional, a tint needs all the
+preceding fields present; the `TintIcon` helper passes `0`s for width..bottom
+(texW/texH `0` disables the texcoord crop → full texture) so the colour lands in
+the trailing slots.
+
+**Texcoord order:** the region's 4-float texcoord setter
+(`FUN_SIMPLETEXTURE_SET_TEXCOORD`) takes the rect **Y-FIRST INTERLEAVED**
+(`{v0, u0, v1, u1}`), matching the engine's `{yA, left, yB, right}` rect
+convention — diagnosed in-game when `{u0,v0,u1,v1}` rendered a raid-mark crop as
+the wrong cell. v is top-down, same as the `|T` payload's top/bottom fields.
+(The removed quad path had the inverse concern: the OpenGL backend put v=0 at
+the bottom, so the quad mapped the TOP screen corners to v1 — kept here as the
+backend note.)
+
+### Build / deploy / test cadence
+
+- `set -o pipefail; cmake --build build --config Release 2>&1 | tail -5 && cp build/Release/ClassicAPI.dll "C:/WoW/Octo/dll/ClassicAPI.dll"`
+  — `pipefail` stops a failed build from deploying a stale DLL.
+- **The client must be fully EXITED to relink** (it loads a symlink to the
+  linker's output). DLL changes need a full restart, not `/reload`.
+- **The embedded `!!!ClassicAPI` addon is symlinked**, so Lua-only changes (the
+  `TextureTest()` harness in `Util/AddOnCompat.lua`) need only `/reload`.
+
+### Remaining / optional
+
+- **Measure width, height, wrap** — all DONE (the three fs-level co-hooks in
+  Current design). Vertex-colour tint (`:r:g:b`) — DONE. The bring-up
+  diagnostics (`_classicapi_InlineTexSuppress/Tune/Stats/ProbeFS/RegionCal/Wrap`
+  and the capture globals) were REMOVED (`5e5677b`); only
+  `_classicapi_InlineTexEnable` remains.
+- **Animated emotes** — no DLL work is needed: a TwitchEmotes-style animator
+  re-`SetText`s each line ~30fps and rewrites the `|T` texcoords to crop the
+  current film-strip frame. That is addon Lua. RLE-compressed TGAs do not
+  decode in 1.12 (uncompressed only) — convert with
+  `magick in.tga -compress none in.tga` (no `-orient`/`-flip`: the region
+  renderer's texcoord order shows the frame right-side-up).
+- **Still icon-blind** (accepted): the hyperlink hit-test past a tall icon
+  OUTSIDE the link on the same line. The substring measure `FUN_00772AE0` was
+  hooked once its real consumer surfaced (the tooltip auto-size measures
+  wrapped SEGMENTS with it), and the trailing-icon width residual is trimmed
+  to sub-pixel (`TrailingIconTrimPen` — a string-final icon reports its ink
+  edge, not its advance, per the engine's own last-glyph convention).
+
+## Goal & spec
+
+Render the modern inline-texture escape (warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/UI_escape_sequences#Textures):
+
+```
+|Tpath:height[:width[:offsetX:offsetY[:texWidth:texHeight:left:right:top:bottom[:rV:gV:bV]]]]|t
+```
+
+Atlas markup (`|A:atlas:…|a`) is Legion+ (needs an atlas DB 1.12 lacks) — out
+of scope. FileDataID paths are Legion+ — 1.12 resolves texture PATH strings
+only.
+
+## Confirmed: 1.12 has ZERO inline-texture support
+
+In-game test on the target client — all of these render as literal text, no
+icon:
+
+```
+|TInterface\Icons\INV_Misc_Coin_01:16|t
+|TInterface\Icons\INV_Misc_Coin_01:16:16|t
+|TInterface\Icons\INV_Misc_Coin_01:16:16:0:0|t
+```
+
+Root cause (see 1.12 map below): the shared escape tokenizer has no `T`/`t`
+case, so `|T` falls through to "literal `|` + ordinary glyphs".
+
+## Reference: 4.3.4 (`C:\WoW\Proudmoore\apwow.exe`, build 15595)
+
+4.3.4's text pipeline is a shared `|`-tokenizer feeding per-purpose loops that
+`switch` on the returned token type. It DOES support `|T`.
+
+- **Tokenizer `FUN_00613980`** — reads one token, returns a type code, bytes
+  consumed (`*param2`), payload char (`*param5`). `|`-switch token types:
+  `1`=color(`|c`+8 hex), `2`=reset(`|r`), `3`=break(`|n`/newline), `4`=`||`,
+  `5`=`|H`, `6`=`|h`, **`7`=texture(`|T`…`|t`)**, `8`=`|t`, `9`/`10`=`|K`/`|k`
+  callback, `0xb`/`0xc`=`|W`/`|w`, `0`=ordinary glyph. The `T` case scans
+  forward to the closing `|t` and returns 7 with the whole span's byte length.
+- **Field parser `FUN_00617ba0(tokenStart, &desc, size)`** — splits the `|T`
+  payload on `:` (helpers: `FUN_0040fa50`=strchr, `FUN_004b3d00`=atof,
+  `FUN_004b3480`=atoi) into a **0x40-byte descriptor**:
+
+  | off | field |
+  |----|-------|
+  | `+0x10`/`+0x14` | path ptr / length (up to first `:`) |
+  | `+0x18` | height (font-scaled) — required |
+  | `+0x1C` | width (defaults to height) |
+  | `+0x20`/`+0x24` | offsetX / offsetY |
+  | `+0x28`–`+0x34` | 4 normalized texcoords (texel ÷ texW/texH) |
+  | `+0x3C` | hasTexCoords flag |
+  | `+0x38`–`+0x3B` | vertex B/G/R/A |
+  | `+0x3D` | hasColor flag |
+
+- **Measure loop `FUN_00618430`** — walks tokens; `case 7` calls
+  `FUN_00617ba0` and adds the texture width to the pen.
+- **Draw emitter `FUN_0061ea10`** (analog of 1.12 `FUN_005ccbe0`) — its
+  `case 7` is the texture draw:
+  1. `FUN_00617ba0(tokenStart, &desc)` — parse fields into the descriptor
+     (stored inline on the line-state struct at `param7+0xb`, 0x10 dwords).
+  2. Compute pen x, width (`desc.width[+0x18 dword = param7[0x12]] * scale`),
+     and y from the justify mode `[obj+0x58]` (0=baseline, 1=center, 2=top).
+  3. Copy the descriptor to a stack struct and call **`FUN_0061e820`** — the
+     inline-texture quad emit. (`FUN_0061dd50` handles a region-state 1→2
+     transition when a texture interrupts a hyperlink capture.)
+- **`FUN_0061e820`** — normalizes the 4 quad corners (÷ screen w/h from
+  `DAT_00dd9ea0`/`DAT_00dd9ea4`) and calls `FUN_0061e410(1, &verts)`.
+- **`FUN_0061e410(count=1, &verts)`** (`__thiscall`, ECX = a vertex-buffer
+  object) — appends `count` quads of **0x40 bytes** (one quad = pos + texcoords)
+  to a **dedicated inline-texture vertex buffer**, growing it as needed
+  (`FUN_0061db40`). So inline textures accumulate in their OWN batch, separate
+  from the per-font-page glyph batches, each quad carrying its own texture
+  (bound at flush). This is the concrete confirmation of the "separate quad
+  path" — the backport must add such a batch + flush on the 1.12 side.
+
+## Target: 1.12 (`C:\WoW\Octo\WoW.exe`, build 5875) injection map
+
+Same architecture as 4.3.4, different addresses and token numbering. Reached
+from `Script_GetStringWidth` (`FUN_0079e510`) → `FUN_00772890` →
+`FUN_0044d670` → `FUN_005c2050` → the loops.
+
+- **Shared tokenizer `FUN_005c2810`** — `~11 callers`. `|`-switch token types:
+  `0`=color(`|c`), `1`=reset(`|r`), `2`=break(`|n`/newline), `3`=`||`,
+  `4`=`|H`, `5`=`|h`, `6`=ordinary glyph. **No `T`/`t` case** → `|T` hits the
+  fall-through (`*param5=0x7c; return 6`) = literal `|` then glyphs. Adding a
+  texture token means picking an unused code (e.g. `7`).
+- **Measure loop `FUN_005c6940`** — `switch`: `0/1/4/5` zero-width, `2` break,
+  default glyph (advance via `FUN_005c6b70`; kerning `FUN_005ca2d0`/
+  `FUN_005ca4b0`). No texture case.
+- **Fit/width loops** `FUN_005c6c50` (chars-into-width + per-char x, for
+  cursor/wrap) and `FUN_005c7470` (truncation/ellipsis). Same switch shape.
+- **Draw builder `FUN_005cdc20`** — reads the layout object's text at `[+0x48]`,
+  handles line-wrap / justify (`[+0x54]`) / color state, per line calls the
+  glyph emitter and `FUN_005cd310` (hyperlink rect registration).
+- **Glyph emitter `FUN_005ccbe0`** — the real quad emitter. Per glyph:
+  `FUN_005cabd0(fontFace,char)` → glyph record (atlas **page** at `rec[10]`,
+  advance `rec[0x12]`, texcoords `rec[0x18..0x1b]`), then appends 4 verts to a
+  **per-atlas-page** batch at `[obj + page*4 + 0xa0]`. `case 0/1` set/reset
+  color, `4/5` open/close hyperlink region, default = glyph.
+
+### The architectural wrinkle
+
+Glyph quads batch **per font-atlas page**. An inline `|T` texture is an
+arbitrary texture, not a font page, so it cannot join that batch — it needs a
+**separate textured-quad draw** (its own draw call, correctly ordered against
+the glyph batches so it appears inline). This is the substantive work, not the
+tokenizing. 4.3.4 solves it exactly this way — captured below: its draw `case 7`
+appends the quad to a dedicated inline-texture vertex buffer at
+`renderObject+0x9c`, separate from the per-font-page glyph batches (see the
+`FUN_0061ea10` / `FUN_0061e820` items under Open items).
+
+## Strategy
+
+The tokenizer is shared by ~11 callers, so DON'T just make it return a new
+type — the other callers' `switch`es would hit `default` and mis-handle it.
+Instead:
+
+1. **Reimplement (co-hook) the measure loop `FUN_005c6940` and the draw
+   builder `FUN_005cdc20`/emitter `FUN_005ccbe0`** — copy existing logic
+   (fully decompiled), delegate every non-texture token to the original
+   handling, and add an inline `|T…|t` case: measure → advance pen by texture
+   width; draw → emit the arbitrary-texture quad.
+2. **Port `FUN_00617ba0`** (field parse → 0x40 descriptor). Standalone, safe to
+   write now from the 4.3.4 decompilation; needs 1.12 equivalents of strchr/
+   atof/atoi (trivial or already in `Offsets.h`).
+3. **Leave the shared tokenizer `FUN_005c2810` and the other ~9 callers
+   untouched** — they keep rendering `|T` literally (wrap/cursor math slightly
+   off inside a texture in v1 — cosmetic, extend later).
+4. **Texture load by path** — reuse the engine's `Texture:SetTexture` loader;
+   **quad emit** — the primitive 4.3.4's draw case uses (to pin).
+
+Risk: the hot text path (every string every frame). But these are
+deterministic C functions, NOT the contended nampower/SuperWoW targets, so the
+MinHook-collision concern is low. Reimplementing two complex loops faithfully
+is the real cost.
+
+## Incremental slices
+
+1. Fixed-size `|Tpath:height|t` — render + width only (ignore width/offset/
+   texcoord/color). Proves the end-to-end quad path.
+2. width, offsetX/Y.
+3. texcoords (`texW:texH:l:r:t:b`).
+4. vertex color.
+5. correct wrap/cursor (extend `FUN_005c6c50`/`FUN_005c7470`).
+
+## Open items / next steps
+
+- [x] **4.3.4 draw-side `case 7`** — captured: `FUN_0061ea10` case 7 →
+      `FUN_00617ba0` (parse) + `FUN_0061e820`→`FUN_0061e410` (append quad to a
+      dedicated inline-texture vertex buffer). Separate batch, per-quad texture.
+- [x] **4.3.4 inline-texture buffer located** — `FUN_0061e820` (`RET 0x40`,
+      i.e. a 0x40-byte quad struct by value) does `ADD ECX,0x9c` before
+      `FUN_0061e410`, so the dedicated inline-texture vertex buffer is at
+      **renderObject+0x9c** (glyph batches are the `+0xa0 + page*4` array — the
+      two are adjacent but distinct). Quad struct: positions at `+0x8..+0x14`,
+      texcoords at `+0x20..+0x2c` (rest = z / texture handle / color). Appended
+      one quad at a time via `FUN_0061e410(this=buf@+0x9c, count, &quad)`.
+- [x] **Flush + path→texture load** — NOT traced on the 4.3.4 side by design;
+      its purpose (the flush + per-quad texture bind + path→load mechanism) is
+      fully answered on the **1.12 side** below: paint/flush `FUN_005c8fe0`,
+      bind `FUN_00589e80(0x17,tex)` + draw `FUN_005c8f40`, load `FUN_00449d90`.
+      4.3.4's own `+0x9c`-buffer flush is not needed — we implement against 1.12.
+- [x] **1.12 path→texture loader** — `FUN_00770200(textureObj, path, flag,
+      blend=DAT_00878cf0, flag)`. It's the string-path branch of
+      `Script_Texture_SetTexture` (`FUN_0079bb40`, method-table entry at
+      `0x0087c1a0`). This is how a `|T` path becomes a bound texture.
+- [x] **1.12 batch render + textured-quad GPU primitive — FOUND.** The paint
+      pass is `FUN_005c8fe0(layoutObj)`: it ensures each line built
+      (`FUN_005cd6a0`), then per font page (stride 0x18, indices 0..7 over
+      `[obj+0x18c+page*0x18]` = the page's texture object) does:
+      - **bind texture:** `FUN_00589e80(0x17, texturePage)` (0x17 = the texture
+        render-state selector),
+      - **lock dynamic VB:** `FUN_0058a140(0, stride=0x18, 0x800)` → handle;
+        `FUN_0058a080(handle)` → vertex data ptr,
+      - copy the page's built verts from the per-page batch at
+        `[lineObj + 0xa0 + page*4]` (`FUN_005ce090`=count, `FUN_005ce0c0`=copy),
+      - **draw:** `FUN_005c8f40(&handle, vertCount)` (flush/submit),
+      - **unlock:** `FUN_0058a0a0(handle, 0)`.
+
+      **Vertex stride = 0x18** (24 bytes = pos + uv + packed color). So an inline
+      `|T` quad = 4 (or 6) such verts, bound to its own texture. Reuse path for
+      the `|T` draw: `FUN_00589e80(0x17, inlineTex)` → write quad verts →
+      `FUN_005c8f40`. **`FUN_005c8fe0` is the co-hook site for strategy B** —
+      after the glyph batches are drawn, draw the frame's collected `|T` quads.
+- [x] **Path → bindable texture handle — RESOLVED.** `FUN_00770200`
+      (SetTexture-by-path) internally calls **`FUN_00449d90(path, &desc, flags,
+      0, 1)`** — the general path→CGxTexture loader (normalizes path, by-name
+      cache, creates on miss via `FUN_0044a140`/`FUN_0044a310`, returns a
+      **fallback texture on failure so never null**) — and stores the handle at
+      `textureObj+0xcc`. That handle is the SAME CGxTexture type
+      `FUN_00589e80(0x17, tex)` binds (the `tex[0x3c]` streamable flag +
+      non-null `*tex` that `FUN_00593840` checks are CGxTexture fields; font
+      pages and Texture widgets bind identically). So a `|T` draws as:
+      `tex = FUN_00449d90(path,&desc,flags,0,1)` → `FUN_00589e80(0x17,tex)` →
+      write 4 verts (stride 0x18) → `FUN_005c8f40(&vb,n)`. No scratch widget
+      needed if we replicate `FUN_00770200`'s descriptor setup
+      (`FUN_0058a980(&desc, blend, …)` then `FUN_00449d90`); or, simplest, keep
+      one scratch Texture object, `FUN_00770200(scratch,path,…)`, read
+      `[scratch+0xcc]`. The internal by-name cache makes repeats cheap.
+
+Two implementation strategies once the primitive is pinned:
+- **A (mirror 4.3.4):** own a separate inline-texture vertex buffer, flush it
+  in the paint pass alongside the glyph batches. Faithful, more integration.
+- **B (immediate):** at paint time, draw each collected `|T` quad immediately
+  via the GxU primitive (bind `FUN_00770200`'d texture, draw one quad). Simpler;
+  inline textures are few, so per-quad draw calls are fine. Likely the better
+  first cut.
+- [ ] Confirm 1.12's tokenizer flag bits (`param4 & 0x100/0x200/0x400/0x800`)
+      that gate color/escape handling, so the reimplemented loops pass them
+      through unchanged.
+
+## Reality check on scope — how it actually landed
+
+The plan above feared reimplementing 1.12's glyph emitter `FUN_005ccbe0` (a
+long, intricate function) and the measure loop. It did not come to that. The
+shipped design avoids both:
+
+- **Positioning** does NOT reimplement the emitter — it SEGMENTS the line at
+  icon boundaries and delegates each plain run to the ORIGINAL emitter, so the
+  engine still lays out every glyph. We only track where the icons go.
+- **Rendering** does NOT stand up a separate quad batch — icons are
+  engine-managed regions anchored to their FontString (the removed quad batch
+  was strategy B; regions replaced it).
+- **Measure** does NOT reimplement the loops — three cold co-hooks on the
+  fs-level width / height / wrap functions add the icons' contribution and call
+  the originals.
+
+The result is the largest feature in the project, but built from co-hooks that
+delegate to the engine rather than from reimplemented layout code. It was
+verified by in-game iteration over many build/test rounds, as expected.

+# Why inline icons render as engine regions
+
+Inline `|T…|t` icons render as pooled `CSimpleTexture` regions
+([src/text/InlineTexturePool.cpp](../src/text/InlineTexturePool.cpp)) — one per
+visible icon, anchored to the icon's owning FontString. The engine draws each
+region every frame like any UI texture, so the icon is resident by construction
+and moves with its line for free. This is 4.3.4's `CSimpleEmbeddedTexture`
+model, built from the parts 1.12 ships.
+
+This file records why that design was chosen and the RE behind it. A raw-GxU-
+quad renderer came first and was removed (`56c2670`).
+
+## History — a residency misdiagnosis, corrected
+
+The quad renderer flickered: a random subset of chat icons blanked on scroll,
+and a second client showed no icons at all. The first diagnosis was **texture
+residency** — the theory that a raw quad bound a texture the VRAM manager had
+evicted, because a raw quad is owned by no frame object.
+
+That diagnosis was wrong. The real cause was the Large-Address-Aware pointer
+bound (`dc61f77`): a 2GB cap in the flush's `LooksReadable` check rejected valid
+heap pointers above `0x80000000`, and the flush's node walk BREAKS on a rejected
+node. So one high node truncated the walk, and every node after it lost its
+icon. That is the "random subset blanks" pattern, and a second client shows none
+because it grows the heap past 2GB sooner. With the bound fixed, the raw quads
+did not flicker either.
+
+So engine regions are kept for **4.3.4 parity**, not necessity. They are
+resident by construction, which closes the residency question for good — but the
+question was never the real bug. Do not re-open the residency investigation; the
+D3D notes at the end are the record of what was ruled out.
+
+## The region the pool builds
+
+1.12 ships `CSimpleTexture` — the ordinary `Texture` widget
+(`frame:CreateTexture()`). It is a managed, reference-counted, `CGxTexCache`-
+backed, engine-drawn texture. The only thing 3.3.5's `CSimpleEmbeddedTexture`
+adds is automatic inline layout inside the FontString, and the emitter already
+computes the icon positions — so the pool supplies them. (`CSimpleEmbeddedTexture`
+is compiled into 3.3.5 only; RTTI confirms it is absent from 1.12.)
+
+Per icon, the pool takes a pooled region and sets the texture, texcoords,
+colour, and two anchor points relative to the owning FontString's bottom-left.
+The engine then owns load, residency, managed-pool reload, clipping, and draw.
+
+### 1.12 entry points (used by the pool)
+
+RTTI name strings: `.?AVCSimpleTexture@@` @ `0x00846588`,
+`.?AVCSimpleFontString@@` @ `0x00846544`.
+
+Create a `CSimpleTexture` from C (mirrors `Tooltip::LinePool`'s FontString path):
+
+```
+void* mem = FUN_00760450(&DAT_00cf4ce0, 0, /*rtti*/0x00846588, 0xFFFFFFFE); // pool alloc
+void* tex = FUN_0076fc40(mem, parentFrame, /*drawLayer*/2, /*sublayer*/1);   // ctor
+```
+
+Set the texture path (loads through the engine's own loader, owns the handle):
+
+```
+FUN_00770200(tex, path, 0, DAT_00878cf0, 0);  // CSimpleTexture::SetTexture(path)
+```
+
+`FUN_00770200` builds GxTexFlags (`FUN_0058a980`), loads via `FUN_00449d90`,
+stores the HTEXTURE at `tex+0xCC` (owned ref), releases the old one
+(`FUN_0041aed0`), and marks the region dirty. This ownership is the whole
+residency story — the engine holds the texture and reloads it on eviction.
+
+Region methods the pool calls directly:
+
+| method | C++ target |
+|---|---|
+| SetTexCoord | `FUN_00770410(tex, &{v0,u0,v1,u1})` — Y-FIRST interleaved |
+| SetColor | `FUN_0077F750(tex, &BGRA)` — also the chat-fade alpha mirror |
+| SetPoint | `FUN_00767C70` — internal units (see LinePool `PixelToInternal`) |
+| Show / Hide | `FUN_0077FCB0` / `FUN_0077FC60` (desired-shown `+0xC4`, realized `+0xC8`) |
+
+`CSimpleTexture` layout (from ctor `FUN_0076fc40`): vtable `0x0081c718`;
+region-render vtable at `+0x24`; HTEXTURE `+0xCC`; blend `+0xD0`; per-corner
+quad position/texcoord arrays `+0xD4..+0x100` (`OFF_SIMPLETEXTURE_CORNERS`);
+`+0x128` a flag. The region-render vtable slot 0 (`0x00770670`) computes the
+screen rect and calls `FUN_007705b0` to STORE the quad corners; the GPU draw is
+deferred to the engine's batched region paint.
+
+## The pen↔anchor bridge
+
+The emitter computes icon positions in PEN units; the pool stores region
+`SetPoint` offsets in ANCHOR units, relative to the FontString's rect. The
+bridge is one scale `K` (pen units per anchor unit) plus the FontString's own
+rect: the flush reads the FontString rect and derives `K` per node, converts
+each icon's screen rect to FontString-relative anchor offsets, and queues that.
+The pool applies the queued placement on the next frame tick — never mid-render.
+`K` derivation and the FontString-relative store are in `FlushLayout`
+([src/text/InlineTexture.cpp](../src/text/InlineTexture.cpp)); the
+convergence pass in `Maintain`
+([src/text/InlineTexturePool.cpp](../src/text/InlineTexturePool.cpp)) self-heals
+any residual scale from the region's own frame-scale chain.
+
+## What was ruled out during the residency chase (do not re-investigate)
+
+The blank icons had zero CPU-side signature — records present, node chain
+contiguous, geometry sane, index buffer ready at submit, batched draw, z-buffer
+excluded twice. The full D3D9 render state at the true draw point was benign:
+`zFunc=8` always, `aBlend=1`, `colorW=0xF`, scissor and stencil off, texture
+stage MODULATE with a valid bound texture every draw. All of this was consistent
+with the LAA-bound truncation (the node never reached the draw), not with a lost
+texture surface.
+
+D3D9 device access, if it is ever needed again:
+
+- `IDirect3DDevice9* = *(void**)(*(void**)0x00C0ED38 + 0x38a8)` (CGxDeviceD3d).
+- `GetRenderState` = device vtable `+0xE8`; `SetRenderState` `+0xE4`.
+- The GxU re-applies its cached render states before every draw (`FUN_005a1b20`),
+  so a raw `SetRenderState` for a GxU-managed state is overwritten; `ZENABLE` is
+  not in that path, so a direct set survives.

+// A modern addon can ship a flavor-specific keybinding file
+// (`Bindings_Turtle.xml` / `Bindings_ClassicAPI.xml`) instead of / alongside a
+// plain `Bindings.xml`. The per-addon loader `FUN_0051f240` only ever builds

+// (`FUN_00648a30`), and — when that passes — loads it via `FUN_004b6f70`, which
+// reads the file through `FUN_FILE_READ`. Two pieces make flavor files work:
+//
+//   1. This TryHandle, called from the FUN_FILE_READ hook: when `path` is an
+//      addon `…\AddOns\<Name>\Bindings.xml` read, serve a flavor variant in its
+//      place if one exists (a selected flavor wins over a plain `Bindings.xml`,
+//      matching FlavorToc). Probe order `Bindings_Turtle.xml` (only when
+//      Turtle::Detected) then `Bindings_ClassicAPI.xml`.
+//   2. A co-hook on the exists-check `FUN_00648a30` (inside FlavorBindings.cpp):
+//      report `Bindings.xml` as existing when the base is absent but a flavor
+//      variant is present — otherwise the loader is never called for a
+//      flavor-only addon.
+//
+// Only `_Turtle` / `_ClassicAPI` are selected — never `_Vanilla` / `_Classic`
+// (which target the 1.15 Classic Era build; its bindings reference handlers
+// that build defines and this client does not load, so they would bind to
+// missing functions). Both suffixes are ClassicAPI conventions, opt-in by the
+// addon author, and mirror FlavorToc.

+// Retail-like `/reload`: pick up new addon folders and new files without
+// restarting the client. Two independent engine limitations block that on
+// a stock 1.12 client, each fixed here with the engine's own machinery:
+//
+//   1. FILE VISIBILITY. Every relative-path read resolves through a
+//      loose-file hash index built ONCE at boot (see Offsets.h,
+//      `FUN_VFS_INDEX_SUBTREE`); files created after boot — a new
+//      addon's TOC, a new .lua in an existing addon, a freshly written
+//      SavedVariables file — are invisible until restart. The boot
+//      indexer is dedup-safe and works on subtrees, so we re-run it per
+//      /reload on the only two subtrees whose contents can change what
+//      a /reload loads: `Interface\AddOns` and `WTF\Account`. New files
+//      in EXISTING addons need nothing more — the per-addon loader
+//      `FUN_0051F240` re-reads the TOC from disk on every load pass, so
+//      once the files are visible they load.
+//
+//   2. REGISTRY MEMBERSHIP. The addon registry is built once at login;
+//      new folders are never walked. We replay the login scan's disk
+//      walk verbatim (`FUN_ADDON_SCAN_DISK_DIRS` with the engine's own
+//      per-directory callback, which feeds the dedup-safe TOC parser),
+//      so new folders register as completely normal entries — then
+//      mirror the two registry structures the scan's OTHER passes would
+//      have filled: the reverse-LoadWith lists (scan tail loop) and the
+//      flat `GetNumAddOns` display array (`FUN_0051DA70` phase 2).
+//
+//   3. METADATA IMMUTABILITY. The parser's dedup guard makes a
+//      registered entry's `##` metadata read-once: an edited
+//      `## SavedVariables:` / `## Dependencies:` / any `##` line never
+//      re-parses. The engine's own complete per-entry destructor
+//      (`FUN_ADDON_ENTRY_DESTROY` — frees every owned allocation and
+//      self-unlinks from both the list and the hash; see Offsets.h)
+//      makes evict + re-register safe: destroy the entry so the dedup
+//      guard MISSES, re-feed the name to `FUN_TOC_PARSER`, and the
+//      entry rebuilds from the edited TOC exactly like a fresh
+//      registration. Gated on an actual `##` change (hash of the TOC's
+//      `##` lines only — file-reference edits load natively and never
+//      trigger the evict path). A TOC that no longer reads at all
+//      (folder deleted) evicts without re-registering — the deletion
+//      analog; a folder the scan still finds simply re-registers.
+//
+// Runs from the `ModuleAutoRegister` callback — LoadScriptFunctions
+// post-hook, which fires inside FrameXML init (`FUN_0048FBF0`) BEFORE
+// the AddOns.txt enable-state re-read, the load-progress count, and the
+// addon load pass, on both login and every /reload. The engine then
+// loads new entries natively: dep ordering, Bindings.xml, flavor TOCs,
+// SavedVariables, ADDON_LOADED, the load-screen "Loading add-on %s".
+// The window is also what makes eviction safe: the unload pass already
+// ran (SavedVariables written from the OLD entry's SV lists, loaded
+// bytes cleared), and the load pass hasn't — nothing holds entry state.
+//
+// Excluded from the evict path (everything else is fair game):
+//   - `!!!ClassicAPI` — embedded; `Addons::Embedded` owns its entry
+//     (head re-link + filter byte);
+//   - `## Secure:` / SMSG-managed entries — the parser cannot restore
+//     packet-delivered state (see OFF_ADDON_ENTRY_SECURE).

+// `## LoadSavedVariablesFirst: 1` — modern TOC directive, backported.
+//
+// Retail loads a flagged addon's SavedVariables BEFORE its Lua runs, so
+// file-scope code (`local db = MyAddonDB`) sees restored config immediately.
+// Vanilla 1.12 always does the opposite: the per-addon loader `FUN_0051f240`
+// runs the addon's files (`FUN_ADDON_LOAD_FILES`), THEN loads SavedVariables,
+// THEN fires `ADDON_LOADED`. So file-scope SV is always nil, and vanilla never
+// parses the directive at all.
+//
+// We co-hook `FUN_ADDON_LOAD_FILES` (the per-addon file load, once per addon,
+// in-world). For an addon whose TOC declares `## LoadSavedVariablesFirst`
+// (nonzero), load its SavedVariables first — mirroring the engine's OWN path
+// construction two steps later in `FUN_0051f240` (verified by disassembly):
+//   account : WTF\Account\<account>\SavedVariables\<Name>.lua
+//   per-char: WTF\Account\<account>\<realm>\<character>\SavedVariables\<Name>.lua,
+//             falling back to WTF\Account\<account>\<character>\SavedVariables\<Name>.lua
+// (account = *VAR_ACCOUNT_NAME_PTR, realm = FUN_GET_REALM_NAME,
+// character = FUN_GET_LOGIN_ACCOUNT_NAME) — then call the original so the
+// files run with SV present. `FUN_LUA_LOAD_FILE` no-ops on a missing file, and
+// `FUN_FILE_EXISTS` picks the same per-char variant the engine would.
+//
+// The engine STILL runs its own SavedVariables load at the normal step, right
+// after the files. Left alone, that re-load would overwrite any value the
+// addon wrote to its SavedVariable at file scope before ADDON_LOADED. So we
+// also co-hook FUN_LUA_LOAD_FILE and suppress that one redundant re-load: each
+// path we pre-load is remembered, and the engine's imminent load of that exact
+// path is skipped once. This makes the behavior match true
+// LoadSavedVariablesFirst — file-scope reads AND writes both survive. Our own
+// early load calls the trampoline directly, so it is never self-suppressed.
+// FUN_LUA_LOAD_FILE loads FILES only (not RunScript string execution), so the
+// extra hook is a cold, addon-load-time path.

+//
+// A single-TOC multi-flavor addon gates individual file lines with
+// conditions and expands path variables:
+//
+//   [Family]\Init.lua                         # -> Classic\Init.lua
+//   Vanilla.lua      [AllowLoadGameType vanilla]

+//   Localization\[TextLocale].lua             # -> Localization\enUS.lua
+//   deDE.lua         [AllowLoadTextLocale deDE]
+//
+// Vanilla 1.12's TOC parsers never understood any of this. The scan
+// parser (FUN_0051C9B0) reads only `##` metadata; the load pass
+// (FUN_006edb90) hands each non-`#` line to the per-file loader verbatim,
+// where the trailing ` [...]` breaks the extension check and the file
+// silently never loads. `[Variable]` tokens likewise become part of a
+// path that does not exist.
+//
+// This closes the gap at the FUN_FILE_READ layer (alongside FlavorToc /
+// Embedded): after an addon TOC is read, rewrite its file-reference lines
+// so the engine's own load loop sees clean paths. `##` metadata and `#`
+// comment lines are copied verbatim, with ONE exception (`## Interface:`,
+// below); metadata-line conditions, added in retail 12.0.7, are out of
+// scope. What the tokens resolve to on this 1.12 client:
+//
+//   [AllowLoadGameType ...]   keep the line iff the list contains `vanilla`
+//   [AllowLoadTextLocale ...] keep the line iff the list contains the
+//                             client locale (GetLocale() code, e.g. enUS)
+//   [AllowLoad ...]           addon files only load in-game, so `game`
+//                             keeps and `glue` drops
+//   [Family]                  -> Classic
+//   [Game]                    -> Vanilla
+//   [TextLocale]              -> the client locale code
+//
+// All conditions on a line must pass for it to load (AND). An unknown
+// `[keyword args]` condition fails safe (drops the line); an unknown
+// single-word `[Token]` is left verbatim (the engine then fails to find
+// that path, so the file does not load).
+//
+// Multi-flavor `## Interface:` list. Retail lets a TOC list several
+// interface versions (`## Interface: 120100, 50504, 11200`). Vanilla's
+// parser is a plain atoi that reads only the FIRST number, so it never
+// sees a later 11200 and marks the addon out of date. When the client
+// version (FUN_ADDON_CLIENT_INTERFACE_VERSION, 11200) appears anywhere in
+// the list but is not first, the `## Interface:` line is rewritten to that
+// single value so the engine marks the addon compatible. A list WITHOUT
+// the client version is left unchanged — it still parses to its first
+// value and stays out of date, exactly as before.
+//
+// Called from the FUN_FILE_READ hook after the read succeeds. Does
+// nothing unless `path` is an addon `.toc` read AND its content contains a
+// `[` (directives) or a `,` (a possible `## Interface:` list) — the
+// fast-path bail keeps every unaffected TOC zero-copy, and a rebuild that
+// changes nothing is discarded by a content compare. When it does rewrite,
+// it allocates a fresh Storm buffer, frees the original, and updates
+// `*outBuf` / `*outSize` — the caller frees the replacement exactly as it
+// would the engine's own read buffer.

+// stayed up through the paladin's auto-attacks).
+//
+// The server rule (tortoise-wow Unit::DealMeleeDamage, vmangos lineage): a
+// melee swing that dealt ANY damage (`totalDamage > 0` — misses/dodges/parries
+// deal none) refreshes every aura on the victim that the attacker cast whose
+// spell is SPELLFAMILY_PALADIN with SPELL_ATTR_EX3_ALWAYS_HIT — the judgement
+// marker (all 14 Judgement of Light/Wisdom/Justice/Crusader debuff ranks carry
+// it, verified in the client Spell.dbc). RefreshHolder resets the holder to
+// its own full duration.
+//
+// The edit itself is packet-silent (UpdateAuraDuration is self-scoped — the
+// same blindness every Turtle::DurationMods rule works around), but its
+// TRIGGER is not: DealMeleeDamage's only caller is Unit::AttackerStateUpdate
+// (white swings), which then broadcasts SMSG_ATTACKERSTATEUPDATE to everyone
+// in range — attacker, victim, and totalDamage are its first fields (wire
+// format verified against the server's own SendAttackStateUpdate writer; see
+// Offsets.h at SMSG_ATTACKERSTATEUPDATE). So the swing packet is an exact
+// client-side stand-in for the refresh, for ANY paladin's judgements — ours
+// or a raid member's.
+//
+// Ability damage (Crusader/Holy Strike) does NOT reach that server block —
+// melee-class spell damage never routes through DealMeleeDamage on this core
+// — so no rule is registered for it. Re-judging is covered separately: the
+// judgement debuff is cast as a real triggered spell, its SMSG_SPELL_GO
+// refreshes the cache entry via StoreFromCast.
+//
+// Not gated on Turtle::Detected(): the block is vmangos-lineage core (the
+// classic "judgements are refreshed by the paladin's melee attacks"
+// mechanic), and the refresh only ever touches existing judgement entries
+// with a matching known caster — on a server without the mechanic the debuff
+// would genuinely expire, removing the entry via OnAuraRemoved before drift

+// --- string.gsub table-replacement upgrade (Lua 5.1) ------------------------
+//
+// 5.1 allows a TABLE as gsub's replacement: each match looks up the first
+// capture (the whole match when the pattern declares no captures) in the
+// table; a nil/false value keeps the original match; string/number values
+// substitute. This engine's gsub (FUN_LUA_STR_GSUB) is stock 5.0 —
+// string/function only ("string or function expected" otherwise), and its
+// add_value appends NOTHING when a replacement function returns a
+// non-string (match → empty; verified by decode, see Offsets.h). So a
+// plain table→closure adapter would EAT unmatched tokens where 5.1 keeps
+// them, and the closure can't reconstruct the whole match from capture
+// args alone.
+//
+// The shim therefore rewrites the pattern with one OUTER capture —
+// `pat` → `(pat)`, keeping a leading `^` and an unescaped trailing `$`
+// outside (both are anchors only at their positional ends; inside the
+// parens they'd turn literal) — so the adapter closure always receives
+// the whole match as arg 1, the pattern's own first capture as arg 2, and
+// can hand arg 1 back to reproduce 5.1's keep-match for missing keys.
+// Patterns containing a `%1`..`%9` back-reference can't be wrapped (the
+// outer capture would renumber what `%N` refers to); those fall back to
+// an unwrapped adapter whose missing-key behavior is the engine's own
+// (match → empty) — the one documented divergence, and the combination
+// (table replacement + pattern back-references) is essentially absent
+// from real code. String/function replacements tail-call the engine gsub

+// Inline-texture (`|T`) chat anti-spoof.
+//
+// Vanilla neutralizes player-*typed* escapes in chat (a typed `|cff…|r`,
+// `|Hitem…|h` or `|T…|t` shows as raw text) — only *trusted* text renders them
+// (addon `AddMessage`, shift-clicked links). Our Text::InlineTexture backport
+// breaks that parity for `|T` alone: it detects the neutralized `||T` form and
+// draws the icon anyway, so a player could `/say` `|Tpath|t` and have a real
+// icon appear in everyone's chat AND in the speech bubble over their head.
+//
+// This restores vanilla's behavior for `|T` by defanging it in the chat path,
+// while leaving `|c`/`|r`/`|H`/`|h` exactly as vanilla (already raw for typed
+// input). It CANNOT be done in the text emitter: addon `|T` and player `|T`
+// reach the emitter as byte-identical `||T` (vanilla doubles the unrecognized
+// `|T` for both), so the only place they're distinguishable is the source —
+// server-delivered chat flows through the chat dispatcher, addon `print` does
+// not. Chat::Dispatch owns that hook and calls this on the message.
+//
+// Defang = replace the `|` of each `|T` with a space, breaking the pipe→T
+// adjacency the inline-texture detector keys on (`|T` and `||T` both contain the
+// `|T` substring, so this catches the doubled form too). The path text stays

+// `GetCoinTextureString` / `C_CurrencyInfo.GetCoinTextureString` — the coin-icon
+// money string (e.g. "12<gold> 34<silver> 56<copper>"), a C++ backport of the
+// retail C function.
+//
+// Behaviour derived from 3.3.5's `Script_GetCoinTextureString` (FUN_00510d00 →
+// formatter FUN_007e7e10): split the copper amount into gold / silver / copper,
+// emit only the non-zero denominations in that order, space-separated; a zero
+// amount shows "0" copper. Each denomination is built from a localized
+// GlobalString — `GOLD_AMOUNT_TEXTURE` / `SILVER_AMOUNT_TEXTURE` /
+// `COPPER_AMOUNT_TEXTURE` — exactly as the engine does (its formatter
+// `FUN_0076f070` is a C-format over the same GlobalString). Those strings don't
+// exist in stock 1.12, so they're backported in `locales/enUS.lua`
+// (language-independent, so the enUS base covers every locale); the embedded
+// `!!!ClassicAPI` addon guarantees they're loaded.
+//
+// 1.12 has no separate UI-GoldIcon / UI-SilverIcon / UI-CopperIcon textures
+// (those are a later-expansion split); vanilla uses ONE sprite sheet
+// `Interface\MoneyFrame\UI-MoneyIcons` cropped per coin (gold 0-0.25, silver
+// 0.25-0.5, copper 0.5-0.75 across a 4-cell strip — from CoinPickupFrame.xml).
+// So the format carries the inline-texture texcoord fields (texW=4 texH=1, then
+// the per-coin left:right cell). The `|T` markup renders as real coin icons via
+// ClassicAPI's inline-texture backport (`Text::InlineTexture`).
