I figured out how to use the bathtub and how to deal with the pumpkin, but I’m stuck at the owl. I know it has to do with the pinecone, but I feel like I must be missing a crucial object or something, because I can’t find the correct series of actions to get the owl to forget about the nest for a moment.

I think you’re almost there and a nonstandard syntax is tripping you up:
Try adding something to your command after the THROW PINECONE part.
Throw it out the opening - I think THROW (DIRECTION) works but it’s been a week or two since I played it, so it might be THROW AT OPENING?
Bonus hint:
The timing here is very important!

For some reason I find this game really hard; not sure why. There are surely some things I’m just overlooking. And then even when I find something, e.g., how to freeze the waterfall, I run smack into another wall: no key for the white door; nothing obvious to put in the circle of sunlight.
I have no idea where the legendary vault in the castle is.
Gentle hints? I’d really like to rate this for ParserComp.

there are progressive ‘invisiclues’-style hints available on the download page. they start out gently and then proceed to the actual answer. at least i think they start gently - it’s always hard to judge the difficulty of your own games.
if you haven’t found the vault yet you should start reading at ‘The Statue’
Sure, here are some hints, in increasing order of spoileriness as always!
Getting through the white door:
no need to worry about this separately, the other two are where you should focus.
Circle of sunlight:
You’re right that you need to put something in the light.
You might have a clearer sense of what that might be once you’re able to get through the door, though – so possibly you should move on to the next set of clues for now.
OK, continuing on! So through the white door are more doors, of different colors, and we don’t have any idea which way to go to get through the maze. Does that spark any ideas?
Is there a way to get a set of colors out of a beam of light?
Put something glass in the beam of light – I used the broken mug from the beginning, though I suspect other stuff like the glass vial might also work.
Finding the vault:
This was a really hard puzzle I thought, but the steps are actually easy.
The way in is in the main area of the castle, and involves the statue.
You need to put something you find in the castle onto a part of the statue – if you examine those parts, and the items you found there, are there any that are similar shapes?
Put the paperweight on the medal – they’re both magnetic, turns out.
There are more puzzles after that, ask if you need help on those!
Argh. I just hadn’t found the right wording for the paperweight.
