+  **Hellion Chat 1.4.3 — Plugin-Load Async-Init + Repo-Cutover (2026-05-08)**
+
+  Plugin lifecycle migrated to Dalamud's `IAsyncDalamudPlugin`
+  API. The constructor now does only the bootstrap-essentials
+  (config load, language init, conflict detection); migrations,
+  service allocations, window construction and hook subscription
+  move to LoadAsync. Dalamud can keep its UI responsive while the
+  heavy work runs.
+
+  - IAsyncDalamudPlugin two-phase load with per-line CaptureFailure
+    in DisposeAsync (mirrors LightlessSync's pattern); idempotency
+    guard protects against reload races
+  - Schema-gate replaces the v9 → v16 migration chain. Configs
+    on schema v16+ load directly; older configs trigger an
+    "install v1.4.2 first" error so the historic migration
+    path stays intact
+  - AutoTranslate.PreloadCache moved off the load path. First
+    use may have a sub-second hitch instead of every-load; the
+    upstream chose differently, we accept first-use latency
+  - FontManager.BuildFonts is called sync at the start of
+    LoadAsync; Dalamud rebuilds the font atlas on its own
+    pipeline so the custom Hellion-Exo2 font appears with a
+    brief font-pop after load (matches ChatTwo's behaviour)
+  - Custom-repo URL moved to gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/
+    JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat. GitHub repo stays as a
+    frozen v1.4.2 snapshot; new releases ship from Gitea.
+    Existing testers need to update the custom-repo URL once
+  - Plugin-load time in this release sits at ~3.7 s median
+    (5 reloads), comparable to v1.4.2. Async migration is
+    foundational for v1.4.4 Lazy-Init optimisations rather
+    than an immediate user-perceived win
