A script error reached the `seterrorhandler` function once per frame, from a queue, after every other listener had run. In 1.12.1 the handler is the error function of the pcall each script runner makes (`0x704e4f`-`0x704e79`; the error function `0x703b40`). So it runs at the raise, inside the failing script: `this`, `event` and `arg1` are still the failing handler's, `debugstack()` shows the failing call, and the event's next listener has not run yet.
Every benilla runner now passes that error function: handlers, OnLoad, file chunks, RunScript, key bindings and slash commands. It returns the handler's result, as `0x703b40` does. The queue is gone.
A handler body that fails to compile reaches no handler (`0x704c70`). benilla's host log keeps each original fault, and `/errors` replays the ones raised before benilla's layer loaded.
Tests cover the raise-time globals, the stack, the listener order, OnUpdate and chunks.

Lua 5.0 behaviours of the client that an addon can observe, which benilla-lua's 5.1 base got differently:
- string.sub and string.find keep a position's low 32 bits (`0x7fbd55`).
- An escaped byte at or above 0x80 matches nothing (`0x7fcbc6`).
- `error()` checks its argument (`0x702993`) and adds the position at any level but 0 (`0x7029a8`).
- `__unm` gets the operand and nil (`0x6f8edc`).
- `__index` chains reach 102 tables and `__newindex` 101.
- math.deg multiplies by 180/pi (`0x7fb14d`).
The bare aliases run as their own `compat.lua` chunk (`0x703b21`), each on the client's line. Its closures keep a local `math`, so their error lines match and replacing the global `math` leaves them working.
`seterrorhandler` keeps the top value, and nil clears it (`0x702930`).
Each fix has a test.

More Lua verbs do their work inside the call, as 1.12.1's do. The chunk's next line sees the effect, and packets go out in call order.
- **`ConsoleExec`** runs its line in the call (`0x515f43` → `0x63ce00`): cvarlist, help, ver, the port commands, togglehelm, togglecloak, whois and reloadUI.
- **`FollowUnit` and `FollowByName`** run in the call (`0x60fed0`). A refusal shows its line, a re-follow fires its end (`0x60fb84`), and the begin fires at `0x610071`.
- **Cache misses ask in the call:** `UnitName` (`0x5171eb`), the trade getters (`0x4c017f`) and `GetGuildInfo` (`0x4c93d2`) send their query on a miss. A getter never raises.
- **The nameplate verbs** set their bits in the call (`0x489450`), and **`OpeningCinematic`** sends in the call (`0x48c8f6`).
Each converted verb has a test that mixes it with `RandomRoll` and checks the order.

Six places where benilla's Lua answered unlike 1.12.1's:
- The lexer took `[=[` long-string levels; 1.12.1's `luaX_lex` tests one byte after `[` (`0x6ff793`) and `--[=[` is a line comment (`0x6ff6c9`).
- `math.random` ran a glibc-style `rand` seeded with 1; now MSVC's (`0x7400e5`, `% 0x7fff` times 1/32767 at `0x7fb310`), clock-seeded as the client is (`0x5d1c8b`), fixed in captures and the addon harness.
- `getfenv`/`setfenv` honour a raw `__fenv` field (`0x702ba0`), and `setfenv` returns nothing.
- An object's text is `type: %08X` in the embedding API too (`0x74301d`).
- `time` converts a date table through MSVC's `_mktime` (`0x74066b`).
- `date` formats with MSVC's C-locale patterns (`0x8323a0`): `%c` is `09/09/01 01:46:40`, `#` drops zeros.
Each has a test that fails without it; the addon corpus parses as before.

benilla-lua's tables and globals now follow the client's Lua 5.0, not 5.1.
Tables:
- They size, fill and rehash as 5.0's ltable.c does: the hash part doubles (`0x6fab90`), and a log size of 0 is the shared dummy (`0x6fa601`).
- A hash part past 2^24 nodes raises `table overflow`.
- Constructors store every 32 items.
- A weak table's clearing removes the key, so `next` from it raises (`0x6f79d0`).
- A weak-keyed table keeps its string keys (`0x6f79f0`).
Globals and libraries:
- `ipairs` returns itself, and a second argument steps once.
- `setglobal` assigns the top of the stack.
- The state opens in the client's order, with no `_G`.
Each new test fails without its fix.

The collector now paces as the client's Lua 5.0 does.
The threshold:
- The state opens at 4× its count (`0x6f6ec8`), and InitLua then sets 256 KB (`0x7039f2`).
- After a collection it is the count plus the larger of the old headroom and a quarter of the count (`0x6fae00`). The headroom is capped at the free space in the client's six block pools, which a new book models (`0x6fae90`).
- The memory watch collects from a threshold of 0 (`0x703bd6`), and varargs never collect.
The stack and call records start at 45 and 8 slots and grow by 5.0's rule (`0x6f5f60`). They are checked once per collection, during mark, and halved under a quarter's use (`0x6f7949`). A tail call checks the stack where the call is made (`0x6f922c`).

Lua memory now counts as the client's does:

- Prototypes count 5.0's instructions and constants (`0x6fcb2b`).
- The string table and the concat buffer are counted as 5.0 sizes them.
The stock UI reads 10,618 KB, against 13,294 KB before.
The host's old C-host shim overrode benilla-lua's natives. It is gone:
- `collectgarbage` now moves the real collector, taking `__ftol`'s low word (`0x6f4400`);
- `gcinfo` reports that collector;
- `^` is the client's `math_pow` (`0x7fb4bd`);

The table library and `unpack` now run as the client's 5.0 natives (`0x822d40`). benilla's closure layer over them is gone. `unpack` refuses past 2,048 slots (`0x6f2f43`) and reads its table alone. `getn` converts a numeric-string `n` (`0x6f4f80`). `next` says "for" (`0x871aac`).
The bit library answers unsigned except `arshift` and `mod` (`0x7faa6d`). Its folds take every argument, and `math.pow`, `atan2` and `mod` check argument 1 first.
A Rust callback's error now carries the caller's `file:line`, as `luaL_error` does (`0x6f4940`); only the sound verbs raise bare. Error text keeps its bytes, from `assert` to the error handler.

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`).

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.

CVars and Lua arguments, each against the client's code:

- `RegisterCVar` creates at most 30 CVars per process (0x488b25); `GetCVar` and `GetCVarDefault` raise their usage lines.
- `Minimap:SetMaskTexture`, `CloseLoot(1)` (ERR_LOOT_NO_UI, 0x48f27b) and the onSelf of `UseContainerItem`/`UseInventoryItem` follow the client.
- Lua's numeral reader has no hex and takes `d` as an exponent, as the client's strtod (0x4112d1).
Each has a test that fails without it.

`reference/` held benilla's own copies of the reference's tables, some derived by its own scripts from older inputs: the fire-site table kept one event id where a site fires two, and credited glue-screen sites to in-game events.
Now `reference/` is benilla-re's tables at the commit `reference/PIN` names, byte for byte: bindings, events, glue events, messages, event arguments, verb events, the glue surface, the Lua globals, chat types and groups, and CVars. `scripts/sync-reference.py` copies them, and its `--check` runs in the gates and in CI. Four generators and nine old files go, and every reader moves to the new columns.
New tests hold the chat type, chat group and CVar tables to the copies; the CVar rows already filed are listed as known.

Part of #92, for `benilla-ui`, `benilla-world` and `benilla-formats`.
- 88 string literals drop private record and bug numbers, the dates of private incidents, and the workspace's name for the maintainer. They are assert and panic texts, log and printout lines, the `--` comments of the Lua prelude and of test fixtures, and one Lua assert. Each keeps its fact in its own words.
- Two test names lose their numbers: `burning_steppes_lava_builds_a_magma_surface_at_the_reported_pin` and `join_channel_by_name_answers_the_row_custom_and_nil_legs`.
- A test-only event, `B271_PROBE`, is now `ERROR_PROBE` in the two crates that register and fire it. A fixture's error text in `benilla-app`'s `ui_script` tests drops its bug number, together with the assertion that reads it.
- Doc comments that named a client function by a disassembler's label (`FUN_0068a830`) now give its address, in `benilla-formats`, `benilla-assets` and one `benilla-app` file.
- Every literal change keeps each literal's line count, proven with comments stripped and every literal masked. The two renamed tests differ only in their names.

Part of #41: the comments of `benilla-ui` (the Lua UI engine, its FrameXML loader and its widgets) are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 43,140 comment lines become 15,161.
- **The mechanical strip.** The citations that were only a private record number go first, and each edit is shown to be a pure removal.
- **Wrong facts corrected.** The rewrite corrects the comments that stated wrong facts. Among them:
- `0x64a480` is the case-sensitive compare (a byte `repz cmpsb`), and `0x64a4c0` the case-insensitive one.
- A frame's id sits at `+0xb0`, not `+0xb4`. `EnableKeyboard`/`IsKeyboardEnabled` are `0x776ec0`/`0x776f90`.
- A region's unpinned edge has no fallback to its owner's rect: the owner supplies only the scale.
- `$parent` expands to the nearest named ancestor, or "Top" when none is named (`0x76c5b0`), not simply to the parent.
- A StatusBar fills from its internal normalised fraction, not from `GetValue()`.
- The addresses of `StartDuel` and `StartDuelUnit` were swapped.
- Many "untraced" notes now give the traced reference fact: the drag threshold, the per-grip sizing edges, the empty-`autoFocus` skip, and `SetTexCoordModifiesRect`'s default.
- Stock FrameXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files and corrected. `ref-` file names become the stock file names.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with a reason. A surface that exists only for the retired Era addon target says so plainly: it is not 1.12.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Nine second readers compared every file old against new, restored the facts the rewrite had dropped, and checked each new citation against the code, the stock files, vmangos and the reference.
Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#131–#142), and more are being validated. The comments here state what the code does. String literals are untouched; they are #92.

Comments that pointed into the maintainer's private reverse-engineering notes (a note by name, a
path, a section or finding id, the analysis's own name for a client function, a process word) now
carry the fact itself, cited by the reference client's address, by vmangos file and line, or as
"the reference". Nobody outside could follow those pointers.
Comment text only, plus the test-assert and log strings that carried the same pointers. No claim
changes: a comment the notes have since corrected keeps its wording here, and correcting it is
separate work.
The two reference generators, `scripts/gen-reference-globals.py` and
`scripts/gen-reference-verb-events.py`, named the private notes' layout to find their inputs. They
now take the input files as arguments (`--capture`, `--framexml`, `--names`, `--extents`,
`--disasm`). Run on the same inputs, both write the committed tables row for row; only the two
header lines that named the old environment variable change.
Checked per file:
- the code is identical: each file with its comments stripped compares equal before and after; a
changed string literal is compared under a mask that proves only literal text moved and every
literal kept its line count;
- no client address the old text cited was dropped;
- a second reviewer checked every added address against its derivation;
- a detector for the notes' names, paths, ids, function names and process words finds none left;
- `scripts/gates.sh` is green.

- both AddOns screens are in: the character-select list with per-addon enable state, and the ESC menu's in-game list
- the API surface is measured, not guessed — a corpus harness runs hundreds of real 1.12 addons and ranks exactly which globals, templates and verbs they demand
- the Lua dialect is the client's own, read off the binary — 5.0 semantics with the 1.12 additions, and UI source files are bytes, not UTF-8
