Summary of ChangesHello @daemonp, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request refactors and enhances the codebase by addressing several code review recommendations. The changes primarily focus on improving memory safety documentation for unsafe operations, introducing type-safe null pointer handling, streamlining version information management, and resolving specific static analysis warnings. These updates contribute to a more robust, maintainable, and understandable codebase. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request is an excellent refactoring effort that significantly improves code safety, documentation, and maintainability. The introduction of NonZeroU32 for pointers is a great way to leverage Rust's type system to prevent null pointer issues. The addition of detailed SAFETY comments for all unsafe blocks is crucial for a project like this. Sourcing the version from Cargo.toml is also a best practice that reduces duplication. I've included a couple of minor suggestions to further improve code reuse and maintainability. Overall, these are high-quality changes.
| // SAFETY: Caller guarantees base is a valid object pointer obtained from | ||
| // the game's object manager, and offset is a documented field offset. | ||
| // Object structure offsets are from wow_offsets_reference.md. | ||
| *((base + offset) as *const T) |

To reduce code duplication and improve maintainability, read_offset can be implemented by calling read. This centralizes the unsafe pointer dereferencing logic into a single function.

| // the game's object manager, and offset is a documented field offset. | |
| // Object structure offsets are from wow_offsets_reference.md. | |
| *((base + offset) as *const T) | |
| // SAFETY: Caller guarantees base is a valid object pointer obtained from | |
| // the game's object manager, and offset is a documented field offset. | |
| // Object structure offsets are from wow_offsets_reference.md. | |
| read(base + offset) |

| let func: GetObjectPointerFn = transmute(offsets::game::GET_OBJECT_POINTER); | ||
| func(guid) |

To improve code reuse and make the intent clearer, get_object_pointer_raw can be implemented in terms of the safe-wrapper get_object_pointer. This avoids duplicating the transmute and FFI call logic.
| // SAFETY: Same as get_object_pointer | |
| let func: GetObjectPointerFn = transmute(offsets::game::GET_OBJECT_POINTER); | |
| func(guid) | |
| // SAFETY: This function's safety relies on get_object_pointer. | |
| // It provides a raw u32 pointer, returning 0 for None. | |
| get_object_pointer(guid).map_or(0, NonZeroU32::get) |
- Implement read_offset() by calling read() to centralize pointer logic - Implement get_object_pointer_raw() using get_object_pointer() with map_or

Code Review
This pull request contains excellent refactorings that improve code safety and maintainability, such as adding detailed SAFETY comments, using NonZeroU32 to prevent null pointer issues, and sourcing the version from Cargo.toml. However, I've identified a critical bug in src/scripts.rs where a pointer to a list entry is incorrectly used instead of the actual game object pointer. This could lead to crashes or undefined behavior. I've provided specific suggestions to correct this issue.
