The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge\n wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations\n that previously lived in LoadAsync.\n- Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against\n Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2\n 74 ms median.

The first lists all 161\n FFXIV PUA glyphs (Dalamud's SeIconChar enum); the second\n carries 97 server-verified BMP symbols (latin marks, currency,\n the full Greek alphabet, geometric shapes, suits, notes) \u2014\n every one of them round-tripped through /echo and /say in a\n four-round probe so the in-channel render matches what the\n picker shows.

Hook-layer\ncluster (DbViewer FTS5 full-text search, ad-block foundation\ninvestigation) plus three polish quick-wins.\n\n- DbViewer full-text search: optional FTS5 index across the full\n chat history. Built asynchronously on first load after the\n update with a progress toast. The local page-filter remains\n available as the default mode. Queries match as exact phrases\n -- multi-word terms must appear together in order; advanced\n users can opt into raw FTS5 MATCH syntax by wrapping their own\n double-quotes.\n- Custom theme files now auto-reload when edited while the theme\n is active -- no need to re-click the theme in the picker.\n- Retention sweep no longer blocks the framework thread, removing\n the ~194ms mini-hitch per sweep.\n- Status bar renders correctly at Windows display scaling > 100%.\n- Receive-suppressed-tells routing investigated this cycle and\n postponed to v1.5.x: when other plugins suppress tells via\n CheckMessageHandled, the FFXIV chat pipeline skips the\n RaptureLogModule.AddMsgSourceEntry path so HellionChat's\n ContentIdResolverHook does not fire and tell-partner\n identification breaks. The fix belongs next to the planned\n ad-block hook layer where the same patch surface comes up.\n- Internal: messages.Id is declared BLOB but stored as TEXT\n (Microsoft.Data.Sqlite Guid binding). FTS bulk insert and\n LoadByGuids match the TEXT storage form on both sides.\n Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\nFull history: https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases", + "Changelog": "**v1.5.1 \u2014 FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**\n\nHybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.\n\nWhat changes under the hood:\n\n- FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single\n atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds\n once per plugin load instead of four to five times \u2014 less CPU\n and GPU pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less\n atlas texture memory churn.\n- Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become\n init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable\n because the eight font settings still need to replace them at\n runtime \u2014 that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts()\n now and runs without a plugin reload.\n- FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle\n instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build\n step less in the ctor.\n- BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation\n path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.\n- Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor\n smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas\n load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).\n\nHonorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item)\nwas dropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered\ngradient frame, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was\ndeclined. The integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is\n emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner\n with \"Hellion Forge\" set inside the body is available as a\n folded TreeNode in the First-Run Wizard and Settings ->\n Information tab. Drawn by Julia Moon, embedded in the plugin DLL.\n- No settings changes, no migration. v17 stays.\n\nNote on performance: the cross-plugin baseline target from\nv1.5.0 (matching Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger at ~7 ms\nHITCH) did not land this cycle. HITCH stays around 80 ms because\nthe cost is in the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the\natlas build (which this cycle did reduce from 4-5 builds per\nload to 1). A first-frame render investigation is reserved for\na later cycle.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.0 \u2014 DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**\n\nMajor architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a\ngeneric-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +\nIServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging\nmoves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed\nMicrosoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger via constructor injection,\nbridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.\n\nWhat changes under the hood:\n\n- 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger via constructor\n injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,\n MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations\n (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three\n GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,\n DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,\n ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).\n- Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor\n injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,\n AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected\n types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance\n classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one\n GameFunctions site).\n- Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines \u2014 virtually identical to the\n pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge\n wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations\n that previously lived in LoadAsync.\n- Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against\n Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2\n 74 ms median. Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around\n 7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past Finished\n loading \u2014 that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the\n chat input (Friend List \"/tell\" action, plugin-driven inserts\n from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing\n input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo\n upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.\n\nMigration v17 stays (no schema bump).\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.4.10 \u2014 Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)**\n\nEleventh and final sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series.\nSymbol picker for the chat input, a tell-history reload fix for\nusers with many active partners, and a closing cleanup sweep\nbefore v1.5.0 picks up the DI-container adoption.\n\n- Symbol picker: a small smile-icon button left of the channel\n indicator opens a popup with two tabs. The first lists all 161\n FFXIV PUA glyphs (Dalamud's SeIconChar enum); the second\n carries 97 server-verified BMP symbols (latin marks, currency,\n the full Greek alphabet, geometric shapes, suits, notes) \u2014\n every one of them round-tripped through /echo and /say in a\n four-round probe so the in-channel render matches what the\n picker shows. Click drops the glyph at the caret, multi-insert\n keeps the popup open, and a recent-used strip floats the last\n sixteen picks across both tabs. Toggle in Settings \u2192 Chat \u2192\n Message behaviour, default on.\n- Pinned auto-tell tabs reload their full history again: a\n hidden 500-row scan cap in PreloadHistory used to override the\n user-configurable AutoTellTabsHistoryPreload setting, so\n less-frequent pinned partners (rare /tell sessions in an\n otherwise busy week) lost their backlog. The cap is removed;\n the (Receiver, Date) index keeps SQL fast, the client-side\n loop still respects your setting as the upper bound.\n- Slash-command teardown: /hellion, /hellionView,\n /hellionDebugger (and #if DEBUG /hellionSeString) wrappers are\n now cached as private fields. Plugin teardown detaches the\n live registration instead of re-Register'ing with identical\n args \u2014 closes a latent maintenance hazard from v1.4.9.\n- v1.4.x polish-sweep wraps up here.
