+## 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
