Panel drag no longer misfires on SWELL's always-zero wParam; stable/beta VST editors register distinct window classes against their own module instead of colliding on REAPER's; own-module basename matching moves to a tested pure helper.
A dragged bank card over our own instrument's editor was OLE-dropping like a third-party plugin. Classify our channel's own .vst3 module as Instrument, not Plugin, so it keeps the normal instrument-drop outcome.
Re-checks the physical button before resuming an internal drag and treats a button-up move mid-drag as a release, closing a stale-payload/silent-drop bug; splits the OS hand-off seam into its own TU for the line ceiling; corrects two docs and skips a redundant module-path lookup.
A code-ownership proof (window class procedure's module, via the pure window_origin) plus REAPER's FX-surface token routes a plugin editor to OLE; FX chrome keeps the instrument drop. The OLE loop re-asks the law each turn, so passing a plugin editor stays reversible.
OffReaper leaves the surface vocabulary; OsHandoff now gates on a window-ownership
proof resolved in the shell, so no in-REAPER surface can reach DoDragDrop.
