what mechanism does blizzard use to force assets to load that are "dynamically" required so to speak? e.g. blp loaded via chat will appear green if the client is incomplete and the client won't realize it "needs" the file. But somehow Blizzard has no issue with files that are only used by Lua scripts as far as incomplete clients go.

I noticed there are manifest db2s. Is that all there is?

files have a callback that is invoked once they are loaded / streamed
