- ATTRIBUTION.md: removed GLEW (not used — no glew.h includes, no
find_package(GLEW) in CMakeLists.txt); added the libraries that
ARE actually used (Vulkan, vk-bootstrap, zlib, FFmpeg, Lua, Catch2,
nlohmann/json, stb, FidelityFX-FSR2). OpenSSL row clarified for 3.x.
- container/{builder-linux,builder-macos,builder-windows}.Dockerfile:
drop libglew-dev / vcpkg 'glew' — nothing links against GLEW, so
these were dead weight in the images.
- container/FLOW.md: matched the Dockerfile changes.
- docs/perf_baseline.md: Tracy is NOT vendored — building with
WOWEE_ENABLE_TRACY=ON references extern/tracy/ which doesn't exist.
Documented the required 'git clone' step. Also corrected the
M2::computeBoneMatrices / M2Renderer::update file paths
(m2_renderer_internal.h and m2_renderer_render.cpp, not
m2_renderer.cpp).

Documentation
WoWDev Wiki
The WoWDev Wiki is a community-maintained resource documenting World of Warcraft file formats and protocols. This project's file format parsers were implemented based on specifications from the wiki:
- ADT (terrain) - Terrain tile format
- M2 (models) - Character and creature model format
- WMO (buildings) - World model object format
- BLP (textures) - Blizzard picture format
- DBC (database) - Database client file format
- World Packet - Network protocol opcodes
