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.
