benilla-lua now matches the client's Lua 5.0 wherever an addon can see the difference:
- Number keys hash as `hashnum` does (`0x6fa260`), so `pairs` walks them in the client's order.
- Calls nest at most 4096 deep (`0x6f61c0`).
- `^` calls the global `__pow` (`0x6f9b5e`).
- The parser's limits and messages are the client's (`0x6ff440`); the client has no assignment limit.
- A numeric for's variable is its counter (`0x6fe380`, `0x6f9262`).
- A generic for uses `forlist`'s layout (`0x6fe540`): the first name is the control, and closures share the variables.
- Only calls name a callee (`0x6fc499`), and a stray token reports `<eof> expected` (`0x871cf4`).
Each fix has a test that fails without it. Two audits re-derived every address from the bytes. The bench is faster or level.

The script host now runs on benilla-lua alone. The vendored C Lua 5.1.5 (`third_party/lua-src`) and mlua are removed, about 17k lines. `vm_parity` checks benilla-lua against the answers the C build recorded on Linux and macOS, and `front_end` checks every corpus chunk's compiled shape against the C build's digest. `GRAMMAR.md` records each grammar change from 5.1, by client address.
A handler's `this`, `event` and `arg1`… are bound in one VM call. An event fire saves and restores `event`, while the handler runner saves only `this` (`0x704d50`).
Ours on the branch: VM fixes from review (hook dispatch counts, registers and frames around a collection, protected-call handlers, library errors) and `vm_parity`'s two-VM leftovers removed.
Tests: the full gate chain on the merged tree, `vm_parity` and `front_end` among them. Live: smoke and a stock-glue login. Load time is level with C Lua, and memory is within 7%.

benilla-lua is a Lua 5.1.5 interpreter in Rust that speaks the 1.12.1 client's grammar. It is opt-in behind the `benilla-vm` feature, with `benilla-mlua`, the slice of mlua that benilla-ui uses, over it. The C build stays the default. Its front end ports 5.1.5's `lparser.c` and `lcode.c`, so registers, limits and messages match the C build's.
Our finish on top:
- the collector counts growth as C does, off the write path;
- frames under a leaky generic `for` start nil, as `luaD_precall`;
- the budget hook counts what C dispatches, and costs nothing when unset;
- `__index` chains stop at 100;
- mlua 0.11's conversions;
- `vm_parity` answers recorded per platform.
Tests: `vm_parity` on both VMs; the front-end corpus (8,543 chunks) against `string.dump`; 7,613 app and UI tests on benilla-lua. Built on macOS; Linux by CI.
