Chat 2 has entered a major rework that Infi confirmed makes selective
patches no longer portable. The cherry-pick pipeline as a routine
workflow stops with the v1.4.x cycle. Documentation reflects the new
state across all touchpoints.
UPSTREAM_SYNC.md rewritten: replaces the "How I Cherry-Pick" /
"Reviewing What Is New Upstream" / "Conflict Handling" sections with
"Why Cherry-Picking Stopped", "What Closing the Pipeline Means in
Practice", "What Does Not Change", "What Could Re-Open Later".
Existing cherry-pick trails in the git history stay intact, EUPL-1.2
anchor lines and NOTICE.md remain canonical.
README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, ROADMAP.md, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md and
the PR template updated to match: cherry-pick references reframed as
historical or pointed at UPSTREAM_SYNC.md for the current state.
NOTICE.md keeps the BetterTTV cherry-pick example as a concrete past
case but adds a paragraph that the pipeline is closed and clarifies
the attribution standard is preserved unchanged.
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md drops the "Upstream cherry-pick from Chat 2"
checkbox and the cherry-pick-path compatibility prompt. The upstream
git remote was already removed locally on 2026-05-08 (separate change,
not in this commit).
No source-file edits, no manifest version bump, no changelog entry —
this is documentation-only and ships with the next release.
- Move AI_DISCLOSURE, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES, UPSTREAM_SYNC, ipc.md
into docs/ (ipc.md renamed to IPC.md for consistency)
- Add docs/ROADMAP.md, docs/CHANGELOG.md, docs/CONTRIBUTORS.md,
docs/LEARNING-JOURNEY.md
- Update README to reflect the v1.0.0 standalone state, drop the
development section, refresh the architecture tree, add a
release-cadence block linking to LEARNING-JOURNEY
- Fix stale ChatTwo/* source paths to HellionChat/* across docs
- Update cross-links in PRIVACY, CONTRIBUTING and .github/* so they
point at the new docs/ paths
Pure documentation pass, no code changes.
Closes the remaining gaps in GitHub's community-standards check, adds
explicit privacy and dependency documentation matching the plugin's
"DSGVO-by-design" claim, and removes the stale upstream Crowdin
artefact so the repo no longer suggests it ships its own translation
pipeline.
New community-health files:
- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: project-specific, short and direct, single
reporting path to kontakt@hellion-media.de
- CONTRIBUTING.md: scope, accepted vs declined contributions, build
and test instructions, EUPL-1.2 contribution terms, translation
policy split between Hellion-specific (here) and upstream strings
(Chat 2 repo)
- SUPPORT.md: routing for bugs, security, privacy and casual feedback
- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: summary, change-type checklist,
testing notes, compatibility notes for migrations and manifest
fields, contribution checklist
- .github/FUNDING.yml: comments-only file, no platforms enabled,
points donors at the upstream Chat 2 maintainers' Ko-fi pages
New privacy and compliance documentation:
- PRIVACY.md: what the plugin stores locally (config, SQLite,
EmoteCacheV1), retention defaults, the two outbound network calls
(BetterTTV API+CDN with ShowEmotes opt-out, Square Enix Lodestone
font once-off), explicit no-telemetry statement, GDPR
Art. 15/17/18/20/21 rights mapped to plugin features, third-party
privacy-policy links
- THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md: direct NuGet dependencies with versions
pinned to v0.5.4 (MessagePack, Microsoft.Data.Sqlite, morelinq,
Pidgin, SixLabors.ImageSharp under Six Labors Split License 1.0),
Dalamud SDK and .NET tooling, bundled Exo 2 font (OFL-1.1) and
plugin icon, network-touch status per component, re-audit commands
Crowdin cleanup:
- crowdin.yml deleted (was upstream Chat 2's project_id 663694,
pointed at /ChatTwo/Resources/Language.resx, never wired to
HellionChat strings)
- README, CONTRIBUTING and CODE_OF_CONDUCT no longer suggest
HellionChat operates a Crowdin project; remaining mentions are
explicitly framed as upstream Chat 2's workflow
Contact and version consistency:
- Maintainer email switched from maintainer@hellion-media.de to
kontakt@hellion-media.de in SECURITY.md and NOTICE.md
- README version references updated to 0.5.4 (header, project status
block) and the update-tag pattern generalised from v0.1.x to v0.X.Y
- bug_report.yml version placeholder bumped to 0.5.4
- Project-documents table added to README footer linking all health
and reference files in one place
Release-body automation:
- .github/workflows/release.yml now extracts the matching version
block from ChatTwo/HellionChat.yaml's changelog and combines it
with a static install / docs footer (custom-repo URL, project
document links, licence) before passing the result to
softprops/action-gh-release@v3 via body_path
- Workflow fails fast if no changelog block exists for the tagged
version, automating the existing "yaml + repo.json + release body
kept in sync" rule
- Tag value passed via env: TAG_NAME with strict ^v\d+\.\d+\.\d+$
validation before any string concatenation, so the tag input cannot
break out into shell evaluation
