Since #1932 every Model frame drew the error cube: the VM queued a pane's file by its match key, `model_key`, which drops the extension, and the host loaded that key as the path, which the cache's extension rule (`0x706a50`) refuses (`0x70737f`).
The queue now carries the pane's own path beside the key, and the host opens that path through the rule: `.mdx`, `.mdl` and `.m2` load the `.m2`, and a refused name stands the cube. `model_key` is now the file the cache opens, so a refused name keys as the cube and never shares facts with its valid twin.
Tests: the three spellings of the minimap arrow load `interface/minimap/minimaparrow.m2`; `Creature\Wolf\Wolf` and `Foo.blp` load and key as the cube; the minimap's children queue their stock models.
