chore(linting): refresh configs and sweep auto-fix

Browse Source 
Pull in the refreshed linter and tooling configs (editorconfig,
gitignore, gitattributes, prettierignore, prettierrc, markdownlint,
yamllint, env.example, dotnet-tools) and run prettier and markdownlint
in --fix / --write mode across the repo so the existing tree matches
the new rules.

- prettier 2-space indent on yaml/yml and json overrides, asterisk
  strong, underscore emphasis, proseWrap always
- markdownlint MD007 indent aligned to 2 and MD049 to underscore so
  prettier output stays passing
- preflight Block F also ignores CLAUDE.md (gitignored personal file)
- prettierignore extended to keep HellionChat.yaml manifest and the
  NuGet packages.lock.json out of the formatter

No semantic content changed; csharpier, build, full build-suite
(729/729) and the new prettier/markdownlint/yamllint checks all green.

**Version 1.5.0** — Privacy-first chat plugin for FINAL FANTASY XIV / Dalamud, built on
[Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo) (EUPL-1.2).
Hellion Chat is a privacy-first plugin built on the Chat 2 foundation. The majority of the engine comes from Chat 2
(message store, channel logic, hook system), and most keyboard shortcuts continue to work as you'd expect. What changes:
stricter privacy defaults out of the box, custom slash commands under `/hellionchat`, no web interface, and as of
v1.1.0, a theme engine as a step toward a distinct UI look and feel.

### Privacy / Compliance
- **Channel whitelist** for database persistence with privacy-first defaults. Out of the box, only your own
conversations are stored (tells, party, FC, linkshells, cross-world linkshells, alliance, ExtraChat). Public chat, NPC
dialogue, system spam, and battle logs are discarded at the storage layer.
- **Per-channel retention periods** with a daily background cleanup. Tells: 365 days, own conversation channels: 90
days, global default: 30 days. The default is OFF — the plugin deletes nothing without explicit consent.
- **Retroactive cleanup** with preview and Ctrl+Shift confirmation. Applies the current whitelist to an existing
database, runs in the background, and calls VACUUM afterward.
- **Export** to Markdown, JSON, or CSV via the Dalamud file dialog (GDPR Art. 15 right of access). Filter by channel,
date range, or sender substring.

### Onboarding
- **First-run wizard** with three profiles (Privacy-First, Relaxed, Full History) and a GDPR notice for the "Full
History" option.
- **Configuration migration** seeds privacy defaults for existing users and shows a notification on the first plugin
start after an update. With v1.0.0, users on config version 12 or older also receive a one-time tab layout reset; the
old tab configuration is backed up as `pluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v13-backup`.
- **Layout migration from Chat 2** moves configuration and database to `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/` without data loss.
Handles locked files gracefully (warns the user if Chat 2 is still loaded).

### Look & Feel
- **Bilingual UI** (English and German) with live language switching. Hellion-specific strings are in
`HellionStrings.<lang>.resx`.
- **Hellion HUD theme** with cyan-teal accents, slate-violet tabs, and amber highlights for active states.
- **Chat color presets** (v0.6.0) with seven built-in bundles in Settings → Appearance → Chat Colors: Classic (Chat 2
default), High Contrast, Pastel, Dark Mode Tuned, Hellion (brand), plus bonus moods Night Blue and Indigo Violet.

#### Custom Themes (v1.1.0)
HellionChat ships a theme engine with ten built-in themes (Hellion Arctic, Hellion Spectrum, Chat 2 Classic, Event
Horizon, Crystal Nocturne, Mint Grove, Night Blue, Indigo Violet, Forge Merchantman, Synthwave Sunset) and a JSON-based
authoring format for custom themes. Schema and step-by-step guide in
[`docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md`](docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md). Hellion Spectrum is Deuteranopia/Protanopia-safe (red-green color
blindness) based on the Wong/Okabe-Ito palette.

#### Plugin Integrations (v1.3.0)
- **Honorific custom titles in the chat header.** When the Honorific plugin is active and a custom title is set, it is
displayed in the chat header above the message log. Auto-detect with silent fallback: without Honorific the slot is
invisible. Toggle in Settings → Integrations → Honorific. First cycle of a multi-stage plugin integration roadmap

### Pop-Out Convenience (v0.6.0)

window has a compact input at the bottom with a channel-colored icon button and text field. No more switching back to
the main window for a quick reply.
- **Per-pop-out independent text buffer and history cursor.** Changing channels in a pop-out works globally like in the
main window (FFXIV channel API), but half-typed input doesn't collide between the main window and pop-outs.
- **Shared input history** across all windows via singleton service. Up/Down arrow keys navigate the same list of the
last 30 entries everywhere.

### What's missing compared to Chat 2
The web interface was removed in Hellion Chat 0.2.0. It serves a different use case than the focus of this fork — remote
access to chat from a second device — which conflicts directly with the privacy-first premise: a chat plugin that starts
a local HTTP server is too large an attack surface for my threat model. So it's gone.

- **AssemblyName is `HellionChat`.** Own slot in `pluginConfigs/`, own file manifest, no shared state with Chat 2.

- **Hellion-specific strings in `HellionStrings.*.resx`**, strings carried over from Chat 2 in `Language.*.resx`. The
original `Language.*.resx` structure is preserved because the existing translations from the upstream Crowdin
community remain valuable.

**Version 1.5.0** — DI Foundation and Service Refactor. Major architecture cycle: the plugin bootstrap moves to a
generic-host DI container (`Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting` + `IServiceCollection`) modelled on Lightless Sync. All
18 instance-class services migrate from a static `Plugin.LogProxy` locator to `Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T>`
via constructor injection, with a custom `DalamudLogger` bridging the framework over to Dalamud's `IPluginLog`. The
proxy stays for the eight buckets ctor-injection cannot reach (static helpers like `EmoteCache`, Dalamud-reflected
`Configuration`, the `Message` data class, and static methods inside `FontManager` / `GameFunctions`). Plugin.cs
finishes the cycle at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the pre-cycle 1013 — because the new Phase-1 host build
and Plugin.X bridge wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations that left `LoadAsync`. Cross-plugin
baseline confirms no performance penalty vs Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2 74 ms.
Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around 7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past `Finished loading` —
that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up item. One user-visible fix bundled in from upstream: pasting a slash command
into the chat input (Friend List "/tell" action, plugin-driven inserts) now replaces the existing input instead of
concatenating onto whatever the user was typing. Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
