+  **Hellion Chat 1.1.0 — Theme Foundation**
+
+  First major UI cycle after the standalone v1.0.0 cut. Theme engine,
+  five built-in themes, customisable JSON themes, modernised settings
+  layout.
+
+  New themes (Settings → Themes):
+
+  - **Hellion Arctic** — the brand default, Arctic Cyan + Ember Glow
+    on industrial slate.
+  - **Chat 2 Klassik** — Steel Blue on neutral grey, eckige Kanten.
+    The upstream Chat 2 look on the new engine.
+  - **Event Horizon** — Cosmic Purple on near-black. Deep-space mood.
+  - **Moonlit Bloom** — Bloom Magenta + Soft Sage on deep-violet
+    night.
+  - **Mint Grove** — Mint Green + Honey Amber on deep forest. First
+    member of the Grove family.
+
+  Theme engine highlights:
+
+  - Slug-based selection in Settings → Themes with mini-mockup
+    previews per theme.
+  - Click a theme card and the whole plugin (chat, settings,
+    pop-outs, viewer) repaints instantly.
+  - Custom themes via JSON in pluginConfigs/HellionChat/themes/.
+    Example template seeded on first launch.
+  - Optional per-theme chat-channel colours. When a theme proposes
+    its own chat colours and yours differ, a dezent banner offers
+    Apply / Keep — never auto-overwriting.
+  - Migration v13 → v14: existing users land on Hellion Arctic. Pick
+    Chat 2 Klassik to keep the upstream look.
+
+  Settings layout:
+
+  - New card-grid overview on Settings open. Click a card to drill
+    into the section.
+  - Breadcrumb back to overview, ESC also returns.
+  - Detail view drops the redundant tab list — section content uses
+    the full width.
+
+  Branding:
+
+  - Plugin icon swapped from the ChatTwo derivative to the Hellion
+    Forge hammer.
+  - New docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md walks you through writing your own
+    themes with the Forge logo on top.
+
+  Technical:
+
+  - HellionStyle.PushGlobal is now theme-driven. Configuration.
+    HellionThemeEnabled is deprecated and will be removed in v1.2.0.
+  - New ThemeRegistry singleton with LastWriteTime-cached custom-
+    theme loader.
+  - 51 local unit tests cover the data model, registry, JSON round-
+    trip and built-in sanity checks.

+## [1.1.0] — 2026-05-05 — Theme Foundation
+
+Erster großer UI-Cycle nach v1.0.0. Theme-Engine, fünf Built-In-Themes,
+Custom-Themes via JSON, Settings-Card-Grid.
+
+### Hinzugefügt
+
+- **Theme-Engine** mit fünf Built-In-Themes: Hellion Arctic (Default),
+  Chat 2 Klassik, Event Horizon, Moonlit Bloom, Mint Grove.
+- **Settings → Themes** mit Mini-Mockup-Preview pro Theme. Klick auf
+  eine Card switcht sofort das ganze Plugin (Chat, Settings, Pop-Out).
+- **Custom-Themes via JSON** in `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/themes/`.
+  Beim ersten Start wird `example-theme.json` als Vorlage abgelegt.
+- **Optional Theme-Chat-Channel-Colors**: Themes können eigene
+  Channel-Farben mitliefern. Beim Switch erscheint ein Banner mit
+  *Übernehmen / Behalten* — nie automatisch.
+- **Settings-Card-Grid**: neue Übersicht beim Öffnen, Card-Klick führt
+  in die Detail-Ansicht der Section. Breadcrumb + ESC führen zurück.
+- **`docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md`** als Anleitung zum Schreiben eigener
+  Themes, mit Hellion-Forge-Branding.
+
+### Geändert
+
+- **Plugin-Icon** auf Hellion Forge Hammer (vorher ChatTwo-Derivat).
+- **Settings-Detail-View** verwendet die volle Breite — die zweite
+  Tab-Liste links ist weg, weil die Card-Übersicht den Wechsel
+  übernimmt.
+- **`HellionStyle.PushGlobal`** ist jetzt theme-driven (`PushGlobal(theme,
+  opacity)`) statt const-palette-driven.
+- **Configuration v13 → v14**: alle User landen auf `hellion-arctic`.
+  Wer den Upstream-Look will, wählt `chat2-classic` in Settings →
+  Themes.
+
+### Veraltet
+
+- `Configuration.HellionThemeEnabled` und `HellionThemeWindowOpacity`
+  bleiben für ein Release lesbar als Safety-Net, werden aber nicht
+  mehr ausgewertet. Entfernung geplant in v1.2.0.
+
+### Sicherheit
+
+- Custom-Theme-JSON-Loader prüft `schemaVersion`, Pflichtfelder und
+  Hex-Format. Ungültige Themes werden mit Warning übersprungen, das
+  Plugin lädt mit Built-Ins weiter.
+
+### Intern
+
+- 51 lokale Unit-Tests (Theme-Records, Registry, JSON-Round-Trip,
+  Sanity pro Built-In-Theme). Tests sind gitignored.

Internal cleanup plus a sweep of\npre-existing correctness, security, threading and resource-leak\nfixes carried over from the upstream codebase. No user action\nrequired — auto-update applies cleanly, configuration and database\npaths unchanged.\n\nStandalone identity:\n\n- Code namespace consolidated from ChatTwo.* to HellionChat.* across\n  all source files\n- IPC channels migrated from ChatTwo.* to HellionChat.* (6 channels:\n  Register, Available, Unregister, Invoke, GetChatInputState,\n  ChatInputStateChanged) — third-party plugins that bound to the old\n  channels need to be updated; none known at release time\n- ImGui popup ID renamed to hellionchat-context-popup\n- Repository folder restructured (ChatTwo/ → HellionChat/), all CI\n  and build paths updated accordingly\n- Public-facing descriptions reworded from upstream-fork framing to\n  standalone framing (Chat 2 attribution preserved per EUPL-1.2)\n- Colour preset 'ChatTwo Default' is now 'Klassik (Chat 2 Default)'\n\nSafety:\n\n- Plugin now refuses to load when upstream Chat 2 is also active —\n  bilingual conflict message in EN/DE, throw before any subsystem\n  initialization, prevents the runtime crash that previously occurred\n  when both plugins replaced the same chat window in parallel\n- SQLite native binary bumped to 3.50.3 (CVE-2025-6965 memory\n  corruption from aggregate-term overflow, CVE-2025-7709)\n- NuGet restore now honors packages.lock.json so transitive\n  dependencies don't drift between machines or CI runs\n\nDefault tab layout sharpened (one-time tab reset on first start):\n\nThe first-run tab layout is reorganized into five thematic tabs\nbased on external tester feedback. General contains only Say,\nYell and Shout (immediate-surroundings public chat). System\nabsorbs the gameplay-event streams (NpcDialogue, Loot, Crafting,\nGathering, PF recruitment pings) and announcement noise\n(BattleSystem, FreeCompanyAnnouncement, PvpTeamAnnouncement)\nthat previously lived in General. FreeCompany, Group and\nLinkshell each own their channel set. The static Tell tab is\ngone — Auto-Tell-Tabs spawns per-conversation tabs on demand.\nThe Beginner / Novice-Network preset is no longer added by\ndefault but is still available via Settings, Tabs.\n\nThis is a one-time tab-layout reset for users on config version\n12 or older. Privacy, Retention, Theme and every other setting\nis preserved. Your previous tab configuration is written to\npluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v13-backup so you can restore\nit manually if you prefer the old layout.\n\nCrash-class fixes (formerly latent in upstream):\n\n- MathUtil.HasOverlap now uses a correct AABB test; identical or\n  edge-touching rectangles are no longer reported as non-overlapping\n- ChatCode.Equals compares fields directly instead of GetHashCode;\n  removes the hash-collision anti-pattern\n- IpcManager.Dispose uses UnregisterAction to match the matching\n  RegisterAction call; previous mismatch leaked the action\n  subscription on every plugin reload\n- ExtraChat.Dispose now unsubscribes all three IPC subscriptions\n  (was only the first); leaks closed\n- TellTarget.FromTarget guards against a zero IPlayerCharacter.Address\n  before dereferencing the unsafe Character* cast\n- GameFunctions ResolveTextCommandPlaceholderDetour null-checks the\n  Hook reference instead of using the null-forgiving operator\n- Popout.cs and SettingsTabs/Tabs.cs bounds-check list indexing so\n  a tab drop or empty-worlds list no longer crashes the UI\n- Debugger.cs now declares IDisposable so the existing Dispose runs\n\nCorrectness fixes:\n\n- GlobalParametersCache.GetValue captures Cache into a local before\n  the bounds check, so a concurrent Refresh can't slip a different\n  array between check and read\n- IconUtil binary search bounds initialized to entries.Length-1 and\n  reset on redirect-restart; entries.Length==0 short-circuits\n- Sheets.WorldsOnDatacenter now compares DataCenter.RowId (was\n  Region.RowId) so it actually returns same-DC worlds\n- Message.cs back-reference loop iterates the processed Sender/Content\n  properties so chunks added by CheckMessageContent get Message set\n- Language.zh-Hans Webinterface_Start_Success corrected to\n  \"网页界面已启动\" (was \"网页界面已停止\")\n\nThreading and async:\n\n- AutoTranslate Entries/ValidEntries are now serialized behind a\n  single lock; the preload worker thread and main thread no longer\n  race on the underlying dictionary/hash set\n- Privacy retention and cleanup workers bound their framework-refresh\n  waits to 5 seconds with a logged timeout; a hung framework tick can\n  no longer deadlock the background worker\n\nResource handling:\n\n- EmoteCache reuses the static HttpClient instead of allocating a new\n  one per call (closed socket leak)\n- FontManager wraps HttpClient/HttpResponseMessage in using-blocks\n  and adds EnsureSuccessStatusCode; failed downloads no longer\n  silently produce a zero-byte font file\n- SearchSelector mixes the row index into the ImGui ID stack so\n  selectables don't collapse to a single ambiguous ID\n- SettingsTabs/Chat blocked-emote add-button now opens its selector\n  popup on left-click\n\nPerformance:\n\n- DbViewer text export caches filteredHistory.Count once instead of\n  re-enumerating the IEnumerable on every batch (O(N) instead of\n  O(N²) on large histories)\n\nLicense attribution (NOTICE.md, COPYRIGHT, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md\nand the Credits section in README) is unchanged.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.6.1 — Pop-Out Discoverability & /tell Auto-Pop-Out**\n\n- Pop-out button now visible in the chat header (no more hunting through the right-click menu)\n- One-time hint banner explains pop-out tabs and the right-click shortcut\n- New setting: open new /tell tabs directly as pop-out windows (Settings → Chat → Auto-Tell-Tabs)\n- Pop-out input is now enabled by default — closing a pop-out still returns the tab to the sidebar\n- Bugfix: dropping or logging out with an LRU/popped auto-tell tab now also closes its pop-out window (no more ghost windows)\n- Bugfix: dead zone below the chat input bar when the v0.6.0 pop-out hint banner was visible (also fixed retroactively for the v0.6.0 banner inside pop-outs)\n\nModding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\nEarlier history: https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases",

No user action\nrequired — auto-update applies cleanly, configuration and database\npaths unchanged.\n\nStandalone identity:\n\n- Code namespace consolidated from ChatTwo.* to HellionChat.* across\n  all source files\n- IPC channels migrated from ChatTwo.* to HellionChat.* (6 channels:\n  Register, Available, Unregister, Invoke, GetChatInputState,\n  ChatInputStateChanged) — third-party plugins that bound to the old\n  channels need to be updated; none known at release time\n- ImGui popup ID renamed to hellionchat-context-popup\n- Repository folder restructured (ChatTwo/ → HellionChat/), all CI\n  and build paths updated accordingly\n- Public-facing descriptions reworded from upstream-fork framing to\n  standalone framing (Chat 2 attribution preserved per EUPL-1.2)\n- Colour preset 'ChatTwo Default' is now 'Klassik (Chat 2 Default)'\n\nSafety:\n\n- Plugin now refuses to load when upstream Chat 2 is also active —\n  bilingual conflict message in EN/DE, throw before any subsystem\n  initialization, prevents the runtime crash that previously occurred\n  when both plugins replaced the same chat window in parallel\n- SQLite native binary bumped to 3.50.3 (CVE-2025-6965 memory\n  corruption from aggregate-term overflow, CVE-2025-7709)\n- NuGet restore now honors packages.lock.json so transitive\n  dependencies don't drift between machines or CI runs\n\nDefault tab layout sharpened (one-time tab reset on first start):\n\nThe first-run tab layout is reorganized into five thematic tabs\nbased on external tester feedback. General contains only Say,\nYell and Shout (immediate-surroundings public chat). System\nabsorbs the gameplay-event streams (NpcDialogue, Loot, Crafting,\nGathering, PF recruitment pings) and announcement noise\n(BattleSystem, FreeCompanyAnnouncement, PvpTeamAnnouncement)\nthat previously lived in General. FreeCompany, Group and\nLinkshell each own their channel set. The static Tell tab is\ngone — Auto-Tell-Tabs spawns per-conversation tabs on demand.\nThe Beginner / Novice-Network preset is no longer added by\ndefault but is still available via Settings, Tabs.\n\nThis is a one-time tab-layout reset for users on config version\n12 or older. Privacy, Retention, Theme and every other setting\nis preserved. Your previous tab configuration is written to\npluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v13-backup so you can restore\nit manually if you prefer the old layout.\n\nCrash-class fixes (formerly latent in upstream):\n\n- MathUtil.HasOverlap now uses a correct AABB test; identical or\n  edge-touching rectangles are no longer reported as non-overlapping\n- ChatCode.Equals compares fields directly instead of GetHashCode;\n  removes the hash-collision anti-pattern\n- IpcManager.Dispose uses UnregisterAction to match the matching\n  RegisterAction call; previous mismatch leaked the action\n  subscription on every plugin reload\n- ExtraChat.Dispose now unsubscribes all three IPC subscriptions\n  (was only the first); leaks closed\n- TellTarget.FromTarget guards against a zero IPlayerCharacter.Address\n  before dereferencing the unsafe Character* cast\n- GameFunctions ResolveTextCommandPlaceholderDetour null-checks the\n  Hook reference instead of using the null-forgiving operator\n- Popout.cs and SettingsTabs/Tabs.cs bounds-check list indexing so\n  a tab drop or empty-worlds list no longer crashes the UI\n- Debugger.cs now declares IDisposable so the existing Dispose runs\n\nCorrectness fixes:\n\n- GlobalParametersCache.GetValue captures Cache into a local before\n  the bounds check, so a concurrent Refresh can't slip a different\n  array between check and read\n- IconUtil binary search bounds initialized to entries.Length-1 and\n  reset on redirect-restart; entries.Length==0 short-circuits\n- Sheets.WorldsOnDatacenter now compares DataCenter.RowId (was\n  Region.RowId) so it actually returns same-DC worlds\n- Message.cs back-reference loop iterates the processed Sender/Content\n  properties so chunks added by CheckMessageContent get Message set\n- Language.zh-Hans Webinterface_Start_Success corrected to\n  \"网页界面已启动\" (was \"网页界面已停止\")\n\nThreading and async:\n\n- AutoTranslate Entries/ValidEntries are now serialized behind a\n  single lock; the preload worker thread and main thread no longer\n  race on the underlying dictionary/hash set\n- Privacy retention and cleanup workers bound their framework-refresh\n  waits to 5 seconds with a logged timeout; a hung framework tick can\n  no longer deadlock the background worker\n\nResource handling:\n\n- EmoteCache reuses the static HttpClient instead of allocating a new\n  one per call (closed socket leak)\n- FontManager wraps HttpClient/HttpResponseMessage in using-blocks\n  and adds EnsureSuccessStatusCode; failed downloads no longer\n  silently produce a zero-byte font file\n- SearchSelector mixes the row index into the ImGui ID stack so\n  selectables don't collapse to a single ambiguous ID\n- SettingsTabs/Chat blocked-emote add-button now opens its selector\n  popup on left-click\n\nPerformance:\n\n- DbViewer text export caches filteredHistory.Count once instead of\n  re-enumerating the IEnumerable on every batch (O(N) instead of\n  O(N²) on large histories)\n\nLicense attribution (NOTICE.md, COPYRIGHT, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md\nand the Credits section in README) is unchanged.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.6.1 — Pop-Out Discoverability & /tell Auto-Pop-Out**\n\n- Pop-out button now visible in the chat header (no more hunting through the right-click menu)\n- One-time hint banner explains pop-out tabs and the right-click shortcut\n- New setting: open new /tell tabs directly as pop-out windows (Settings → Chat → Auto-Tell-Tabs)\n- Pop-out input is now enabled by default — closing a pop-out still returns the tab to the sidebar\n- Bugfix: dropping or logging out with an LRU/popped auto-tell tab now also closes its pop-out window (no more ghost windows)\n- Bugfix: dead zone below the chat input bar when the v0.6.0 pop-out hint banner was visible (also fixed retroactively for the v0.6.0 banner inside pop-outs)\n\nModding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\nEarlier history: https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases",
