FreeCompanyAnnouncement (Company Board) and FreeCompanyLoginLogout
are broadcasts, not personal conversation, and the design spec only
listed plain "Free Company" as a Privacy-First default channel.
Existing users who want to keep them can still tick the boxes in
the Privacy tab.
The original migration skipped the database move whenever
pluginConfigs/HellionChat already existed. In practice that
directory is materialised by Dalamud before our plugin constructor
runs, so the check was effectively always true and the legacy
chat-sqlite.db plus the EmoteCacheV1 directory stayed behind.
Walk the legacy directory entry by entry instead. Move every file
or subdirectory whose name is not already present on the target
side, then delete the legacy directory if it ends up empty. This
handles both fresh installs and the realistic case where Dalamud
has pre-created an empty config directory for the new plugin.
The privacy filter only catches new messages. Two new MessageStore
methods support a one-shot retroactive sweep: GetMessageCountsByChatType
returns a (ChatType, count) snapshot so the UI can preview the impact,
and CleanupRetainOnly hard-deletes everything outside the supplied
allowlist and runs VACUUM to reclaim disk space.
The Privacy tab gains a new section with a refresh-preview button, a
keep/delete summary, a per-channel breakdown tree, and a Ctrl+Shift
confirm. The cleanup runs on a background thread so a 800+ MB VACUUM
does not block the settings UI; tabs are rebuilt via the framework
thread once the delete finishes. The cleanup deliberately uses the
saved Plugin.Config whitelist (not unsaved Mutable edits) so it stays
consistent with the prospective filter.
Switch the assembly name to HellionChat so Dalamud uses
pluginConfigs/HellionChat for our config file and database
directory, instead of sharing those locations with the upstream
Chat 2 plugin. Code namespace stays ChatTwo.* so upstream
cherry-picks apply cleanly.
Rename the DalamudPackager manifest to HellionChat.yaml with
fork-specific name, author, repo URL, description, tags and
changelog. Plugin.PluginName becomes "Hellion Chat".
Add a one-shot migration in the plugin constructor that runs
before GetPluginConfig: if pluginConfigs/ChatTwo.json or the
ChatTwo/ directory exist and our equivalents don't, move them
into the HellionChat layout. Idempotent: only fires on the first
load where legacy paths are present and ours are not.
Introduce an opt-out channel whitelist so the database only persists
messages from channels the user explicitly wants to keep. Default
profile follows GDPR data minimization: own conversations only
(Tells, Party, FC, Linkshells, Cross-World Linkshells, Alliance,
ExtraChat). Public chat (Say/Shout/Yell), Novice Network, NPC
dialogue and system logs are dropped by default.
The filter sits inside MessageStore.UpsertMessage so any current or
future write path is covered uniformly. Configuration provides an
IsAllowedForStorage(ChatType) helper plus a "persist unknown
channels" failsafe (default off) for ChatTypes added by future
patches.
A new Privacy settings tab exposes the whitelist as grouped
checkboxes with three preset buttons (Privacy-First, Clear all,
Select all). Configuration version bumps from 6 to 7; existing
users are migrated to the Privacy-First defaults on first load
and notified once via the Dalamud notification manager.
Also includes a small .env.example and gitignore hygiene for local
development setup.
If Migrate3 has already applied its schema changes but failed to
bump user_version (e.g. process crashed between ALTER and
SetMigrationVersion), the next run currently hits a duplicate
column error because ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN is not idempotent in
SQLite.
Detect the recovery case by checking for the presence of the v3
target columns and the absence of the dropped Code column, and
just record the migration version when found.
