    Client-only fix

    The Character Advancement panel's Search tab was returning spell results but never any talents — even when a player typed a keyword that obviously matched a talent's tooltip (e.g. butchery, blade barrier).

    Root cause: the baked ParagonAdvancement_TalentData.lua had no desc field on any talent. The search index walks desc and falls through when it is empty, so 0 talent hits, every query.

    Fix:

    • Re-baked ParagonAdvancement_TalentData.lua from Talent.dbc + Spell.dbc with rank-1 name + description + tooltip flattened into a search-normalized desc string for every talent (892 entries, ~204 KB on disk vs. the previous bake's ~110 KB).
    • Hardened the bake script (tools/_gen_paragon_advancement_talents_lua.py) so it falls back to dbc/Spell.dbc when _dbc_work/Spell.dbc is missing, with a clearer warning if neither is found, so this regression cannot happen silently again.

    After installing this build, typing a word in the Search bar matches both spells and talents and renders them in their respective result blocks (left = spells, right = talents).

    Client bundle (this release)

    Asset Size Status
    Wow.exe 7.70 MB Unchanged from v0.7.12 / v0.7.13
    patch-enUS-4.MPQ 4.73 MB Unchanged (Spell.dbc overlay)
    patch-enUS-5.MPQ 60 KB Unchanged (rune bar UI)
    patch-enUS-6.MPQ 204 KB RebuiltParagonAdvancement addon 0.9.20-talent-search-desc

    Install: copy Wow.exe to the client root, and copy the four patch-enUS-*.MPQ files into Data\enUS\ (load order 4 → 5 → 6 after stock patches). Quit and relaunch the client fully so the new addon files are read.

    Launcher users: the auto-updater handles all four assets and writes patch-enUS-*.MPQ with uppercase .MPQ (3.3.5a's case-sensitive MPQ loader requires it).

    Server

    No changes since v0.7.13. The cascade guard, force-attached DK passives, and the paragon_spell_ae_cost backfill from that release remain in effect.
