UIA — UI, Lua, Addons and Audio

Цель

Воспроизвести UI/addon semantics клиента 3.3.5a, сохранив возможность modern UI overlays и полноценную audio presentation.

UIA-1. UI architecture

Screen flow отделён от in-world HUD.
UI читает immutable view models и отправляет intents.
Godot Control tree является presentation backend, а не gameplay model.
Input contexts: login, character, world, chat, modal, targeting, vehicle, cinematic.
Scale, safe area, resolution, font и localization учитываются на уровне layout system.

UIA-2. Frontend screens

Data/license check, login, realm list и connection errors.
Character selection/create/delete/rename.
Race/class/customization previews тем же character renderer.
Loading screens по map/instance, progress и cancellation policy.
Disconnect/reconnect dialogs и account/server notices.

UIA-3. FrameXML

TOC parser: metadata, dependencies, optional deps, SavedVariables и load order.
XML includes, templates, virtual, inheritance и named/anonymous objects.
Frames, Regions, Textures, FontStrings, Layers и Scripts.
Anchors, dimensions, strata, frame level, draw layers, clipping и scale.
Widget types: Button, CheckButton, EditBox, Slider, StatusBar, ScrollFrame, MessageFrame, Tooltip, Cooldown, Model и Minimap.
Handler scripts: OnLoad, OnEvent, OnUpdate, mouse/keyboard/drag/show/hide/value events.

UIA-4. Lua runtime

Внутренний LuaRuntime позволяет сравнить/заменить PUC-Rio 5.1.1 и rilua.
Restricted libraries, byte strings, number semantics, globals, bit и error formatting.
VM lifetime: one UI environment per client session/profile with controlled reset.
Incremental GC имеет frame budget и metrics.
Native functions возвращают stable Lua values, а не Godot/Rust/C++ objects напрямую.
VM backend выбирается ADR после official + WoW-specific corpus.

UIA-5. WoW API and event system

API inventory строится из 3.3.5a FrameXML/Lua usage и независимых references.
Реализация группируется: unit, spell, aura, item, quest, group, chat, map, CVar, bindings, frames.
Event dispatcher имеет deterministic ordering, argument contracts и registration lifecycle.
OnUpdate throttling не меняет original semantics в Blizzlike335.
API, требующий server state, читает gameplay read model или создаёт intent; raw packets недоступны.
Missing API выдаёт диагностируемую ошибку/coverage report, а не silent nil where incompatible.

UIA-6. Security, taint and addons

Secure/insecure execution origins.
Protected functions/actions, secure templates и combat lockdown.
Taint propagation through variables/tables/functions в пределах подтверждённой 3.3.5a модели.
Addon memory/CPU/error isolation и configurable script limits без скрытого изменения default behavior.
SavedVariables account/character scopes, serialization, corruption recovery и atomic writes.
Addon compatibility tiers: loads, renders, functional, secure-combat verified.
Headless addon runner и UI inspector входят в AuthoringStudio/Test Center.

UIA-7. Default UI coverage

Unit/player/target/focus/party/raid frames.
Action bars, stance/pet/vehicle bars, cooldowns и keybindings.
Buffs/debuffs, cast bars, combat text и errors.
Bags, character, spellbook, talents, glyphs, skills, professions.
Quest log/tracker/gossip, map/minimap/taxi.
Chat, social, guild, calendar, LFG, PvP score.
Vendor, trainer, bank, mail, auction, trade, loot и roll.
Game menu, settings, macros, addons и help.

UIA-8. Audio

Typed DBC wrappers for SoundEntries, ZoneMusic, IntroMusic, Ambience and related tables.
Decoder/streaming/cache for MP3/WAV with category budgets.
Music day/night/zone transitions and crossfade.
Ambient loops, random emitters, indoor/outdoor и weather.
Positional world sounds, footsteps, water, spells, combat, NPC voice и UI feedback.
Audio events come from presentation descriptors; UI/gameplay do not manipulate players directly.
Device change, focus/mute policy, category volumes и missing sound diagnostics.

UIA-9. Localization and accessibility

Locale-aware fonts, fallback, text encoding и layout expansion.
Keybindings fully remappable; mouse sensitivity/inversion and optional gamepad.
UI scale, contrast/color-blind profiles, subtitle/text alternatives where possible.
Critical state does not rely only on color/audio.
Enhanced accessibility remains compatible with server and can coexist with Blizzlike visuals.

References

Original 3.3.5a FrameXML/Lua extracted from legally owned data is primary behavior corpus.
rilua/PUC-Rio are VM candidates/oracles, not complete WoW UI.
WoWee revision 607ea3b8369851014721416293f8e95dfbe64eec provides a large headless FrameXML/Lua corpus, retained widget-tree/layout tests, a unified XML-to-Lua CreateFrame path, progressive default-UI takeover and static API/ event/handler audits. OpenWC reuses the test taxonomy and staged-handover model, not its monolithic Lua/game binding, permissive unknown-API fallback or absent secure/taint semantics; its restricted license also keeps it reference-only.
WowBench/Wowser/WowUnreal provide additional API/event/loader test ideas.
Pinned Benilla provides a strong engine-free TOC/FrameXML/Lua decomposition and compatibility-test reference: document/load order, templates, anchors, widget identity, handler globals, deterministic event/OnUpdate order, sandbox and SavedVariables. Its Vanilla Lua 5.0 compatibility layer and missing secure/taint coverage are not WotLK semantics and require a build-12340 corpus.

Gate

Default UI boots deterministically; selected real addons pass declared tiers; secure actions fail correctly during combat; Lua GC/OnUpdate remain within budgets; UI is replaceable without changing gameplay/network.
