release(v1.5.4): manifest bump and forge post

Bumps csproj, yaml, repo.json, CHANGELOG, ROADMAP and README in
lock-step to 1.5.4. Forge-post DE-body added with the Polish & Motion
versionsnatur. Slim-rule applied to the yaml and repo.json changelog
blocks (keeps v1.5.4 + v1.5.3 + v1.5.2 + v1.5.1, drops v1.5.0).

A csharpier reflow of two v1.5.4 source files (ChatLogWindow,
HellionStyle) is folded in. preflight.sh blocks A-F all green.

+- **Theme-Crossfade.** Theme-Wechsel blenden jetzt sanft über rund 300 ms ineinander, statt hart umzuschalten. Alle Hellion-Flächen gleiten mit: Sidebar, Titel, Buttons, Tabs, Scrollbar, Trennlinien. Der Fenster-Hintergrund snappt bewusst weiter, damit das Per-Window-Deckkraft-Setting aus Dalamuds Pinning-Menü unangetastet bleibt.
+- **Header-Quick-Picker.** Neuer Paletten-Button links vom Zahnrad im Chat-Header. Ein Klick öffnet ein kompaktes Popup mit zwei Sektionen: alle Built-in- und Custom-Themes sowie alle Tabs. Der aktive Eintrag trägt ein Häkchen, ein Klick wechselt ohne das Popup zu schließen. So lassen sich mehrere Wechsel hintereinander erledigen, ohne den Umweg über die Einstellungen.
+- **Sanfte Hover-Animationen.** Sidebar-Icons faden bei Hover sanft von gedimmt auf volle Deckkraft. Card-Mode-Trennlinien heben sich beim Überfahren einer Zeile für den ganzen Tab dezent ab. Beides framerate-unabhängig gerechnet, also auch bei Wine-Stall-Frames stabil.
+- **Bewegung reduzieren.** Neuer Toggle im Tab für Theme und Layout. Er deaktiviert Crossfade, Hover-Animationen und das Pulsieren ungelesener Tabs für alle, die eine statische Oberfläche bevorzugen.
+- Drei P3-Items plus der Accessibility-Toggle, kein Schema-Bump, keine Migration. Eine kleine Polish-Welle vor den größeren Cycles.

+    **v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**
+
+    A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
+    access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
+    accessibility toggle.
+
+    User-visible:
+
+    - Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms across every
+      Hellion-rendered surface — sidebar, title, buttons, tabs,
+      scrollbar, separators. The window background snaps deliberately
+      so the per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu
+      stays untouched.
+    - New header quick-picker: a palette button left of the cog opens
+      a compact popup with two sections — every built-in and custom
+      theme, and every tab. The active entry carries a check glyph;
+      clicking another switches without closing the popup.
+    - Sidebar icons ease their opacity on hover, and card-mode message
+      borders highlight per tab while the cursor is over their rows.
+      Framerate-independent, so a stalled Wine frame cannot overshoot
+      the animation.
+    - New "Reduce motion" toggle in Theme & Layout disables the
+      crossfade, the hover animations and the unread-tab pulse for
+      users who prefer a static UI.
+
+    Under the hood:
+
+    - Two pure-helper lerp paths (ThemeAbgrCacheLerp, FrameLerp) with
+      xUnit coverage in the Build Suite, plus a ColourUtil.ApplyAlpha
+      alpha modulator. Two new /xlperf self-test steps pin the
+      crossfade and quick-picker contracts.
+
+    No schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-    **v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**
-
-    Major architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a
-    generic-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
-    IServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging
-    moves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed
-    Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T> via constructor injection,
-    bridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.
-
-    What changes under the hood:
-
-    - 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger<T> via constructor
-      injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,
-      MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations
-      (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three
-      GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,
-      DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,
-      ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).
-    - Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor
-      injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,
-      AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected
-      types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance
-      classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one
-      GameFunctions site).
-    - Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the
-      pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge
-      wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations
-      that previously lived in LoadAsync.
-    - Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against
-      Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2
-      74 ms median. 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.
-
-    User-visible:
-
-    - Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the
-      chat input (Friend List "/tell" action, plugin-driven inserts
-      from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing
-      input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo
-      upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.
-
-    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
-
-    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

The first-run wizard becomes a four-step flow with a\nnew Roleplay privacy profile and a power-settings step that\nsurfaces previously-hidden defaults. Existing v1.5.1 users see\nthe new wizard once on first v1.5.2 boot.\n\nWhat changes user-visible:\n\n- Wizard navigation: Welcome → Privacy profile → Power settings\n  → Done. Forge-Bronze pagination dots, dedicated stage for the\n  power settings so they are no longer buried in Settings.\n- Fourth privacy profile \"Roleplay\": Privacy-First plus Say and\n  both emote types, with a 30-day window for Say and a 90-day\n  window for emotes. Shout, Yell and Novice NetwLine truncated
