JonKazama-Hellion 74f9ff7f16 feat(chat): a header that says which channel you are in
Small caps with wide tracking, not a smaller size. The mockup asks for one pixel
below body text, and one pixel would have cost a whole additional font handle at
full glyph range -- tab names are free user input and can be CJK. Tracking reads
the same in every palette and costs nothing, which is the same argument that
settled the section headings in the settings window.

Only the world and the clock use the meta face. Its glyph range is ASCII plus a
middle dot, so anything that gets translated has to stay on the body face.

Two things it will not do. It drops the tab name where one is already on screen:
a pop-out with its title bar on carries the name in the title, and the top-tab
strip carries it too. Repeating it one line below is the exact defect that got an
earlier header row removed, and the comment left behind at that removal is what
made this rule. And it disappears entirely below a minimum message-area height --
the window minimum is 260px, already shared with the honorific header, the input
row and the status bar, and all of it scales together. A header that leaves two
readable lines is worse than no header.

Both decisions are arithmetic and sit in ChannelHeaderLayout with tests. The
gallery gets an entry despite the header needing a tab and the font handles,
because that window exists precisely because pieces once shipped without a call
site.

JonKazama-Hellion 0551116a0c refactor(sidebar): let the channel header resolve the same icon
Visibility only. The header has to show the icon the sidebar row shows, and the
lookup table alone would not do it: it only answers for a tab with an explicitly
chosen icon, and the default is none. Most tabs reach their icon through the
derivation this method wraps.

JonKazama-Hellion 64f7d9b975 style: let csharpier reflow the widened tuples
Formatting only. The five-element fingerprint tuple and its field declaration ran
past the line limit, and preflight block E is stricter than the check I had been
running per task -- it caught what the narrower filter did not.

JonKazama-Hellion 81456c981b test(selftest): show what each type role actually resolves to
Block A ends with no call site in the message list -- that arrives in block C --
so without this step there would be nothing to look at and two helpers with no
caller at all.

It draws rather than asserts, because asserting proves the wrong thing here.
SimplePushedFont pushes nothing at all when a handle is not ready, silently, and
the text then renders in whatever face was already active. A step that compares
two numbers and reports Pass would sail straight past that. So this one puts a
timestamp, a sender and a body line next to each other and lets them be looked
at, with expected-against-actual printed underneath.

The three weight buttons exist because the alternative was three builds and a
plugin restart between each, and nobody compares a typeface across a restart.
RebuildDelegateFonts is synchronous on this thread, so the sample row picks up
the new rasterisation on the next frame.

JonKazama-Hellion 0916f8d1fb feat(style): put mixed sizes on a shared baseline
ImGui lines items up by their top edge. ItemSize only shifts anything when
CurrLineTextBaseOffset is non-zero, and that stays zero unless
AlignTextToFramePadding ran -- so a meta timestamp beside a body-sized name would
sit flush at the top and float above the baseline.

The correction is the difference of the two ascents, scaled. The scaling looks
like it is applied twice and is not: Dalamud rasterises at SizePx * GlobalScale
and then divides the metrics back down, so ImFont.Ascent comes out logical.
Drawing multiplies it up again. The comment says so, because the first reviewer
to see this file read it the other way.

No call site yet -- the self-test in the next commit takes it, and the message
list takes it in block C.

JonKazama-Hellion 147034bda5 fix(layout): four axes that could always stale the cache, and the new roles
The height cache keys on a fingerprint of everything that can change a row's
height. Four things that can were never in it:

- ItalicFontV2.SizePt. ChunkRenderer pushes the italic face mid-row for emphasis,
  so there have been mixed sizes in a single line all along -- nobody called it
  that. Changing only the italic size moved every wrapped row and left the cache
  untouched.
- ItalicEnabled, which swaps between ItalicFont at its own size and AxisItalic at
  the base size.
- FontsEnabled and UseHellionFont, which swap the face outright. This pair is the
  quiet one: both size fields default to 12.75f, so the fingerprint did not move
  at all while the glyph widths underneath it did.

On top of those, the two new role sizes. They follow the base arithmetically, but
the resolved value is what belongs in the fingerprint -- a theme override moves
the base without moving any factor.

The three toggles go in the discrete half so they bypass the settle window, the
same way density already does. The sizes are sliders and wait it out.

Falsified rather than assumed: dropping FontsEnabled back out of Discrete turns
the new test red, so it is measuring the axis and not just passing.

JonKazama-Hellion 34e343d8f2 feat(fonts): a handle for the sender and one for the meta line
Two roles need a face of their own, and they need it for opposite reasons.

The sender is meant to carry weight. The mockup says 600, and there is no bold
face anywhere in the plugin -- the bundled file is Inter-Light and the game's
Axis is a single weight. So the weight comes from rasterising the same outline
denser, via RasterizerMultiply. That only works on the delegate path: with both
font toggles off the game font handle draws and has no such knob, and the sender
falls back to leaning on channel colour alone. Deliberate limitation, not an
oversight.

The meta face goes the other way: smaller, and on a glyph range of about eighty
entries instead of the full set. Timestamps and world names are Latin in every
client FFXIV ships, so ASCII plus the middle dot covers what this face will ever
be asked to draw. A full range would have rasterised the whole CJK block a second
time for nothing. Anything translated stays on the body face.

Two things in the rebuild path had to change with them. The handles now go up
inside a SuppressAutoRebuild block -- without it, one size change meant four
separate atlas rebuilds instead of one. And FontsReady checks both new handles
unconditionally, unlike ItalicFont which is allowed to be null: a handle that is
not ready makes SimplePushedFont push nothing at all, silently, and the first
frame after a rebuild would measure the wrong face and write those heights into
the row cache.

Both font self-tests were extended to match. A handle nobody asserts is a handle
that can go missing for a release without anyone noticing.

JonKazama-Hellion 6d2bb95528 feat(style): name the four type roles
Body, Sender, Header, Meta. Three of them share the base size, which looks like
an oversight and is not: the sender is set apart by weight and the header by
small caps with wide tracking. Neither of those is a size, and solving them with
size instead would turn the log into a ransom note. Only meta steps down, because
it is meant to be skipped over rather than read.

Factors sit in a static array rather than as consts. The master spec puts
typography under theme control, and ThemeTypography is already the declared
extension point for it -- a const would wall that off before anyone gets there.

No caller yet. FontManager takes the first one in the next commit; that is the
one place in this cycle where a piece lands before its call site, and it closes
inside the same block.
2026-08-19 09:44:31 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 58830aecec feat(style): the arithmetic behind a type scale
Quarter-point rounding, not whole points. The base size is 12.75pt, so rounding
a derived role to whole points would move it further than the step between two
adjacent base sizes -- the scale would quantise away the difference it exists to
express.

The floor is what keeps the meta role legible when someone runs a small base
size; below about seven points a timestamp stops being readable at any display
scale.
2026-08-19 09:44:05 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion fc67c0852a fix(text): give the wrap calculation the scale imgui actually asks for
CalcWordWrapPositionA takes a scale, and imgui means size / FontSize by that --
the ratio between the size being rendered and the size the face was baked at
(imgui_draw.cpp, CalcTextSizeA). We were handing it ImGuiHelpers.GlobalScale.

That is the same number today, but by coincidence rather than by design. Dalamud
bakes every font at SizePx * GlobalScale and then divides the metrics back down,
so g.FontSize / font->FontSize lands on GlobalScale for every handle regardless
of its size. The coincidence holds only while one face draws a line.

The typography work starting with this cycle puts a second size into the same
line, and there the two numbers separate: the wrap would be computed for the
wrong size while CalcTextSizeA keeps measuring with the right one. Measured
height and drawn wrap would drift apart, and the virtualised clipper plans
against the measured value.

No behaviour change expected here -- the expression evaluates to what the old
constant already was.

JonKazama-Hellion b388dcb2de chore(release): close the v1.12.0 cycle
Version to 1.12.0 in the csproj, with the changelog and roadmap entries for the
local state. Not published: the public release stays at v1.5.6, repo.json keeps
its 1.5.6.0 manifest and all three download links are untouched.

The changelog leads with the storage change rather than burying it under fixes.
Until this release the unknown-channel failsafe was applied to known channels
too, so an installation that had unticked channels and left the failsafe on was
storing more than the grid said. From here the grid decides, which means those
installations store less than they did yesterday. Nothing already written is
touched, but a user who compares the database against last week should find the
reason in the notes and not have to guess.

Config version 25 is recorded there for the same reason. There is no migration
behind it -- the storage rule changed shape, and the stamp says so.

Known issues carry the honest tail: the database viewer and the emoji picker are
still English, 245 orphaned resource keys remain as the inventory of what the
v1.6.0 rebuild lost, and the licence text still contradicts itself between the
About tab and the translated resources.

JonKazama-Hellion e0c9efca05 i18n: the five spots the smoke test found, and a BOM in the export
Reported from a real pass through the window.

The theme categories were a static readonly array, so the five names
froze at whatever language the plugin started in and a runtime switch
relabelled the entire window except them. Same shape as the layout
labels earlier in this cycle; this one got missed because replacing the
literals with resource lookups looks finished until you actually switch.

The status bar built its counts from English literals -- tab, tabs, msg,
tell, tells -- and the privacy pill said "Privacy-First" in all 25
files. The thousands separator follows the user's culture now too, so
German reads 1,2k rather than 1.2k.

The live preview claims to show what the window will look like. It was
showing English channel names next to a translated placeholder, which is
worse than either. Channel labels come from ChatType.Name() now and the
status slots share the strings with the real status bar. The four mock
chat lines stay English on the earlier decision.

And the export wrote a byte order mark. Encoding.UTF8 emits one, and a
leading U+FEFF makes the JSON invalid for every strict parser --
confirmed against a real export from the game, where python's json.load
refused the file. CSV keeps its BOM, because without one Excel guesses
the codepage and mangles every non-ASCII name.

The self-test that was supposed to catch that read the file with
File.ReadAllText, which strips a BOM while detecting the encoding. It
reads bytes now.

The status bar tests asserted English literals and started failing on a
German machine -- they pin a fixed culture now instead of inheriting the
locale of whoever runs them.

JonKazama-Hellion fdb1a98519 fix(privacy): the cleanup could never be applied, and three more from the audit
The cleanup preview marked itself stale before it could be drawn. The
gate bumps a revision on release so a preview cannot survive a wipe; I
then made the preview take the gate, so its own release invalidated it
every single time and the apply button never appeared. The feature has
been shipping non-functional since it was written, with a self-test that
asserted the exact bump that killed it.

Read-only operations no longer move the revision, and preview and
maintenance have their own marks instead of borrowing Cleanup -- which
also stops the five-second metadata refresh from expiring previews, and
stops the UI announcing "another operation is running: cleanup" during a
VACUUM.

The JSON export produced invalid JSON. The chat relation kinds were
interpolated straight into the output, and interpolating an enum writes
its member name, so every message with a recognised relation came out as
"source_kind":LocalPlayer. That is the file a GDPR access request goes
out on. The self-test wrote a JSON file and never parsed it; it does now.

Retention with the limit at zero still deleted. The slider is labelled
"0 = never" and the sweep seeded 31 spec defaults unconditionally before
reading the user's overrides, so zero still lost free company, linkshell
and party history after ninety days -- and the short-circuit written for
exactly this case could never be reached, because the map was never
empty.

A wipe that worked reported that it had failed. VACUUM needs the
database to itself, the refilter walks a lazy reader on the primary
connection outside the lock, and the two collide -- after the DELETE has
committed. The delete paths no longer let that escape: the rows are
gone, an uncompacted file is a housekeeping problem, and telling
somebody their history is still there when it is not is a different kind
of problem.

Also:

- CSV cells starting with =, +, - or @ get a leading apostrophe. The
  content is text other people typed into a chat channel and the file
  exists to be opened in a spreadsheet.
- An export that matched nothing no longer replaces the previous one. It
  used to write its header, move it into place, and then report that
  nothing matched. Dalamud's save dialog offers no overwrite
  confirmation to fall back on, so this is the part that had to move.
- The retention sweep says so when it loses the race for the gate, and
  routes its notifications through the teardown check like everything
  else.

JonKazama-Hellion 9ea9e96145 fix: close what the style review found, starting with a gate the metadata skipped
The real defect first. RefreshDatabaseMetadata was the one worker of six
that never took the shared lock, and its flag was the one of six missing
from the tab's busy state. It calls MessageCount, which holds the read
lock, so a wipe could start while it was in there -- and the tab would
not have known to grey the button, because it could not see the worker.
Both halves fixed. The pattern is why: seven near-copies of one worker
skeleton, and each copy decided something slightly different.

The clear button failed silently when its thread could not start. The
most destructive control in the plugin, pressed, and nothing happens,
with no way to tell that from a wipe that worked -- while the three
harmless workers beside it do report. Maintenance was the mirror: its
comment promises refusals are said out loud, and then swallowed the
actual failure. Three start-failure paths also bypassed the notify
helper that carries the teardown check, three weeks after it was added
for exactly that.

The database numbers now wait for a real read, like the clear hint
already did. Zero bytes and zero messages read as an empty database, not
as a number nobody has fetched.

SelectionAfterDelete is gone, with its three tests. The accordion has no
selection, so its return value went into a discard -- a function
answering a question the interface does not ask, with green tests
guarding nothing. The project's own self-test README calls that the
anti-pattern of record.

Six new keys replaced by the translated orphans that already said the
same thing. A commit earlier in this cycle is literally called "stop
duplicating a key" and these went past it. The duplicate button also had
the label "Add", which is the one string out of ninety-four that was
never written.

Tests: CleanupDeleteTypes had none, and with the failsafe on -- how a
fresh config ships -- it is the path every cleanup takes. Four now,
including the one that matters: an empty list deletes nothing rather
than everything.

And a self-test for the gate wiring, which is what would have caught the
metadata worker. The unit tests prove the gate works; nothing proved the
workers use it.

JonKazama-Hellion e7b76fb21b chore(i18n): remove the keys whose features were removed on purpose
Fifty-four keys across 25 files, and a script that can find the rest.

The script reports rather than deletes, because a key with no caller is
a question and not a verdict: this cycle has twice found one that only
described a feature whose button was torn out, and deleting it would
have made the restoration cost 25 files of re-translation. The answer
lives in the git history of the deletion, not in a grep.

So only the ones where that history says the feature went on purpose:
the web interface, the settings card overview the sidebar replaced, the
save-and-discard model this window does not have, the LiteDB migration
dialog, and three one-time announcements for versions long past.

Plus nine this cycle superseded itself, including the three notes
telling the reader to press Save first.

251 keys still have no caller. That is not a to-do list -- it is the
inventory the search pass turned up: timestamp layouts, collapse
duplicate messages, the About tab's prose, the honorific glow, the
novice network button. Every one of them describes something that used
to work. They stay until each has been decided one way or the other,
which is the whole premise of this cycle.
2026-08-19 06:51:56 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion bbfb9fc630 feat(tabs): the tab editor is back
There has been no way to create a tab, delete one, reorder them, or
choose what any of them collects since the settings window was rebuilt
in May. The five tabs a config happened to have were all a user could
ever have. Every label for this was sitting in the resources, translated
into 25 languages, with no caller.

An accordion, not the list-and-detail pane the plan sketched. The
settings column is narrow, every other tab in this window is a stack of
collapsible sections, and a split pane inside one of them would be the
only thing here that reads differently without buying anything.

Channels go through the matrix that already existed, unchanged: it knows
the groups, the sub-matrices and the ExtraChat channels, and it is
localised. What it does not know is copy-on-write -- it mutates the
dictionary it is handed -- so it never gets the tab's own. Edits land in
a working copy and are published as one reference swap when the user
leaves the tab, and only if something actually changed.

Saving is deferred behind a dirty flag with a short idle, not
IsItemDeactivatedAfterEdit. That idiom defers for sliders and text
fields, which stay active across frames; a checkbox activates and
deactivates inside one click, so it would fire exactly as often as the
return value and write the config file once per box.

Deleting closes the pop-out first, or the pool keeps a slot bound to a
tab that no longer exists. The last editable tab cannot be deleted at
all: the message list has no empty state. Temp tabs are not editable
here -- their name is a conversation partner and the auto-tell service
owns their lifetime -- so they are skipped entirely.

Also E2: Tab.AddMessage stamps LastActivity for every message now. The
condition that used to gate it filtered on InactivityHideChannels, a
setting belonging to hide-when-inactive, and that feature lost its
reader in cf4705e. Which tell tab the pool drops first -- the only thing
that reads the stamp -- was hanging on a setting for something that does
not happen. The three channel fields behind it are gone.

JonKazama-Hellion 3a1b863def i18n: adopt the client's word for tell, and translate the appearance tab
Two decisions, both yours.

Where Square Enix ships a client in a language, that client's word wins.
German says Flüstern, French message privé, Japanese テル, Korean
귓속말, Simplified Chinese 密语. Everywhere else there is no official
client and the loanword is what players actually say, so it stays.

That meant rewriting the whole corpus in those languages rather than
just the new keys, which is the reason the split existed in the first
place: forty German values and thirty-seven French ones carried the old
word. /tell is untouched, because that is a command and not a noun.

The mechanical pass left French with three agreement errors -- "des
message privé", "ce onglet", "messages de message privé" -- which is
what happens when you substring-replace a language with gender and
number. Fixed by hand.

Traditional Chinese keeps 悄悄話, which the file already used nineteen
times; it has no official client of its own.

The appearance tab is translated as well. Thirty keys: the colour
editor's groups and buttons, the theme categories, fork and import and
export, the font labels and the preview's input placeholder. Theme token
names stay English -- WindowBg and TextPrimary are JSON keys, not
prose -- and so do the brand strings.

465 keys, 25 files, no gaps, no orphans, no placeholder drift.

Still English and not in this commit: the database viewer behind
/hellionView, which is a documented user command rather than a
developer tool, and the symbol picker. Both are their own block.

JonKazama-Hellion 5991f49c59 i18n: hold the new strings against the glossary the plugin already had
A language review over all 24 files found that the translation batch had
been written as if the file were empty. It is not: eleven years of
FFXIV vocabulary and several hundred existing values already decided how
this plugin says things, and the new strings disagreed with them.

Three said something wrong rather than something unusual:

- Norwegian called opacity "tetthet", which is density -- and the same
  file uses that exact word for compact density, so one word stood for
  two different settings.
- Danish called the brand section "Brand", which in Danish is fire.
- Turkish called a manifest a notification, in a window that already has
  a notifications section.

Then the glossary itself. "tab" is zakładka in Polish, tab in Romanian
and Danish; "plugin" stays plugin in five languages that had translated
it; "pop-out" is a loanword in six. The Shift key keeps its name in
Swedish, Finnish and Italian, because that is what is printed on it.
Fixing pop-out also shortened the three longest row labels in the batch
past the point where SettingRow would have clipped them.

Czech was the clearest outright error: the existing file addresses the
reader informally throughout, and five new strings switched to the
formal form.

And a gap in my own previous fix: I had moved four of the five tell
strings to the established loanword and missed the fifth pair, so the
failed-tell warning still said "Flüstern" while its neighbours said
"Tell".

435 keys, 25 files, no gaps, no orphans, no placeholder drift, and every
one of the five tell keys now carries the same word in every language.

Whether German and French should say Flüstern and message privé rather
than tell is a real question -- both game clients do -- but that is a
glossary decision for the whole file, not something to introduce through
four new keys.
2026-08-19 00:28:24 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion b3c0ec73ca i18n(settings): keep the game's own vocabulary, and stop duplicating a key
A review pass found the translation commit had introduced a split rather
than closed one.

Every existing string in this plugin leaves "tell" untranslated -- it is
what the game calls the thing, in twenty values across the German file
alone. My new keys translated it, so the channels tab showed "Auto-Tell-
Tabs" and, two rows below, "Flüstern automatisch öffnen". Thirteen of
fourteen sampled languages had the same break. The four affected keys
now use the established word, which also fixes a German line that had
tells "aufgehen" like a door.

Turkish said the opposite of what the control does: saydamlık is
transparency, the slider is opacity, and 1.0 means fully opaque. Every
other language uses the opacity word. Corrected, along with the inactive
one beside it.

Compact density had grown a second key for a field that already had one.
Appearance_UseCompactDensity_Name and _Description were sitting there
with no caller -- which is precisely what this cycle exists to fix -- so
the chat tab uses those and my duplicate is gone again. The German
wizard label for the same field said "Kompakter Density-Modus"; it says
the same thing as the other two now.

Also: Hungarian called a pop-out window "kiemelt" (highlighted), the
project's word is "kiugró"; German called it "ausgeklappt", which is
what a menu does; Italian and Polish had a clumsy inactive-opacity
label.

435 keys, all 25 files, no gaps, no orphans in either direction.

One claim in the previous commit was wrong and is worth stating plainly:
it said only log lines, thread names, developer tools and brand strings
remained English. The appearance tab is still English throughout -- the
theme picker, the colour editor, the font section, the live preview --
and so are parts of the database viewer, which is a documented user
command, not a developer tool. That is a separate block, not a footnote.

JonKazama-Hellion 83306f1f47 i18n(settings): translate the settings window
The settings window was rebuilt in v1.10.0 and v1.11.0 with its labels
written straight into the C#. Every section heading and most row labels
across five tabs read English in all 25 languages, which the memory
notes had accepted as a known backlog.

Forty-nine keys close it: seventeen section headings, the rows under
them, and the two layout choices. All 25 languages, 437 keys each, no
gaps and no placeholder drift in either direction.

The layout labels are a property rather than a static array now. A
static one would hold whichever language the plugin started in, and this
plugin switches language at runtime.

What stays English, deliberately: log lines and thread names, which no
user reads; the two developer tools behind Shift plus Ctrl+Shift, per
the decision that developer surfaces stay English; and the About tab's
brand lines, attributions and licence identifiers, which are names.
2026-08-19 00:08:19 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 6bb020547d feat(tabs): groundwork for the tab editor
The two halves that can be settled without a window, before the window
exists.

Concurrency first, because the editor is the first thing that ever
writes SelectedChannels after load. All three channel-filter fields are
read without a lock from the pending-message thread, the filter worker
and the draw thread, and mutating a live Dictionary while Matches walks
it is the standard way to get a wrong answer on somebody else's stack.
ReplaceChannelFilter builds the replacements and swaps the references,
so a reader sees the old set or the new one and never half of either.

It deliberately stops short of making the three writes one atomic step.
A reader can catch the new dictionary with the old ExtraChat flag for a
single message, which the editor's closing clear-and-refilter
reconsiders anyway. Doing better would mean one reference for all three,
and all three are serialized fields whose shape the config file already
has.

Then the index maths, which is where temp tabs make this more than list
arithmetic. They live in the same collection, they are not editable --
their name is a conversation partner and deleting one would be deleting
a conversation -- and a move has to step over them rather than swap with
them, or moving a tab down and back up would not return it to where it
started. Reversible in the editable order, which is the order the user
sees; the sidebar draws temp tabs under their own headers regardless of
where they sit in the list.

Twelve facts, and one of them started out asserting the wrong property:
that the whole list is restored by a move and its reverse. It is not,
and it does not need to be.

The last editable tab cannot be deleted. The message list has no empty
state, so a window with nothing to draw is not a state to offer.
2026-08-18 23:39:43 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 8e38e3e805 refactor(config): delete what was never read, restore what was only orphaned
Block D of v1.12.0. The line between the two is the whole job, and I got
it wrong once on the way: six cache fields on Tab looked dead because
nothing writes them, and nothing writes them because AutoTellTabTint and
TabTintCache went out with the chat window in cf4705e. Deleting the
fields would have cemented a loss instead of recording a decision.

So they are back, and the sidebar uses them again: an auto-tell tab is
tinted and glyphed from its partner, twelve colours against seven icons.
Four open tells are no longer four identical envelopes in one colour.

Their own header promised the same partner keeps its colour "across
sessions" while hashing with string.GetHashCode, which .NET salts per
process -- every game start reshuffled every tab. FNV-1a now, with a
lowbias32 finalizer that is not decoration: without it a probe over 144
similar keys reached six of the twelve colours, because the caller takes
the low bits with a modulo and FNV leaves those correlated. Three pinned
values guard it, which is also the only assertion that can catch a
regression to a salted hash.

The same question, asked of the three hide conditions this block had
quietly orphaned: HideDuringCutscenes, HideInBattle, HideWhenNotLoggedIn
all had readers in v1.5.6 and lost them in the same commit. Two of them
are states rather than conditions -- a cutscene the user dismissed stays
dismissed until it ends, and combat must not seize a chat that is
already hidden for another reason -- so they come back as a small state
machine with eight pinned transitions, and three toggles whose labels
were already translated in all 25 languages.

Actually deleted, with a reader search each time:

- Six per-tab hide fields. Their reader was the pop-out window and it
  stopped consulting them in cf4705e. Per-tab was the wrong unit anyway:
  "hide during cutscenes" is a statement about the screen.
- Tab.ChatCodes, whose migration the v16 schema gate had already made
  unreachable.
- InactivityHideTimeout and InactivityHideActiveDuringBattle, MaxLinesToRender
  which had stopped bounding anything, and the 155 lines of
  Configuration.UpdateFrom with no caller at all.

Config version 25, at all three places that carry it. No migration step:
the gate only refuses anything under 16 and Json.NET drops keys it does
not know, so the deleted fields simply stop being written.

One thing a review pass caught that matters more than any of the above:
the clone parity guard had gone hollow. It compares collections by
count, ChatCodes was the only collection the probe seeded, and removing
it left the guard comparing zero against zero. Verified by making
Tab.Clone discard both remaining collections and watching every
assertion stay green. The probe seeds them now, and the same sabotage
fails as it should.

JonKazama-Hellion 6829a80ff2 refactor(wizard): drop LoadPreviousSession, which never did anything
The wizard asked for it, coupled it to a neighbour, listed it in the
summary as applied, and wrote it to the config. No code in the plugin
has ever read it. A wizard that collects a decision and reports an
effect that does not happen is worse than one that never asked.

Its partner, FilterIncludePreviousSessions, has a real reader and stays.
The coupling was two-way -- switching this on forced the partner on,
switching the partner off forced this one off -- so removing it leaves a
single checkbox that means what it says, and the summary line now
reports the setting that actually took effect.

The self-test asserted that skipping step 3 does not overwrite either
field. That assertion is rewritten rather than repaired: it was pinning
the null-semantics of the wizard's pending state, which still matters,
just with one field instead of two.

JonKazama-Hellion e8d06e05fa fix(input): put the right-click menu back on the input field
Reported by a tester: the input field in v1.5.6 had right-click actions,
the current one has no right-click at all.

Correct, and the commit before this one put those actions in the wrong
place. The v1.5.6 menu was ImRaii.ContextPopupItem("ChatInputContext")
bound to the input field itself; I hung the two token entries off the
chat-message menu, where the rest of that window's items had landed.
They are on the input field now, which is also where they are useful:
you insert a token while composing, not while reading.

Two details from the original that the misplaced version had lost:

- The agent pointers are null-checked. Both can be null during a zone
  transition, which is exactly when somebody is most likely to be typing
  a flag into party chat.
- Inserting refocuses the field and puts the caret behind the token.
  Picking from a menu and then having to click back into the field is
  the kind of friction that makes a feature go unused.

Hiding the chat is not repeated in the menu. It was in the v1.5.6 one,
but it has its own button two widgets to the right now, and one way in
is enough.

JonKazama-Hellion 3cb20b6f65 feat(chat): insert map-flag and item-link tokens again, and finish the resx parity
The two menu items went out with the v1.5.6 chat window in cf4705e.
Their strings stayed, in the base file only, so the feature was gone and
its labels were untranslated in all 24 other languages.

They live in the chat context menu now, next to hide-chat, which is
where the rest of that window's items ended up. The game expands <flag>
and <item> at send time, so appending the literal token is the whole
implementation; each entry is disabled while its precondition is missing
so a token cannot be sent only to expand into nothing at the other end.

ChatLog_ScrollToBottom_Tooltip is the one that stings: it has had a
caller since v1.9.0 and existed in the base file alone, so every player
outside English read that tooltip in English.

All three are translated now, and with them the resource files are at
full parity for the first time -- 25 files, every key in every one.
2026-08-18 22:43:09 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 75c4acd19a feat(settings): make eleven settings reachable again
Every field here has a reader in the running plugin and had no control
in the window. The config file was the only way to any of them.

HideChat is the one that mattered. It defaults to on, it suppresses the
game's own chat window, and the only other path to it is a right-click
item that sets it to true and can never set it back. Anyone who used
that item once had to edit JSON to get their chat back. The new toggle
reads and writes the same field, so the two agree instead of fighting.

The rest, by tab:

- Window: the three remaining hide conditions, the preview minimum that
  belongs to a toggle already on screen, native item tooltips and their
  offset.
- Chat: an emotes section holding the BetterTTV switch, the cache state,
  and an editor for the blocked-code list that has been in the config
  since v1.0 with nowhere to edit it. Blocking one code is a finer
  instrument than switching emotes off wholesale. Plus auto-translate
  sorting.
- General: the failed-tell warning. The game reports a failed tell in
  the log only, where somebody who is typing does not see it.
- Data & Privacy: battle messages. It decides whether battle lines are
  persisted at all, which makes it a storage decision rather than a chat
  one, and it sits in front of the whitelist rather than inside it.

MaxParallelPopouts stays out. It is read once in the pool's constructor,
the windows are registered once, and registering at runtime is
explicitly forbidden -- a slider would do nothing until a reload, which
is exactly the kind of decoration this cycle exists to remove.

Four new strings in all 25 languages; the other fifteen labels were
already translated and waiting.
2026-08-18 22:40:54 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 1bb968211b feat(tabs): give pinning a way in, and a way back out
Pinning has been complete since v1.4.7: pools, a cap of five,
persistence, logout symmetry, the notification when the cap is hit. The
menu that called it went away, and nothing has called it since.

That is not only a missing feature, it is a dead end in saved data. A
tab pinned in v1.5.6 survives every save and load and permanently
occupies one of the five slots, and there has been no way anywhere to
release it. Unpin is the reason this task exists.

So the context menu grows a pin section for temp tabs, and the sidebar
grows the marker that says which rows are pinned -- a small thumbtack in
the icon's lower left, drawn from the row's own rectangle so it claims
no layout of its own. The unread badge owns the upper right, and badges
in this sidebar are where drawing into unreserved space caught this
project last.

At the cap the item is disabled rather than hidden: that is a state the
user can undo by unpinning something, and the tooltip switches to say
which. Five translated strings that had no caller now have one.

Promote-to-permanent stays out. It was removed on purpose after a tester
kept hitting it by accident. Reconnecting every method that lost its
caller, without asking why it lost it, would rebuild the problem this
cycle is supposed to be cleaning up.
2026-08-18 22:35:13 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 4f3bdc3c7b fix(privacy): translate the channel list and give it back its presets
Reported after a translation pass: the channel list in Data & Privacy
reads English in every language. It was not, as assumed, the client's
own naming -- the list called ToString() on the enum member, so it
showed "FreeCompanyLoginLogout" while Language.ChatType_* sat next to it
holding "Freie Gesellschaft (An-/Abmeldung)" in all 25 languages.

Fixing the label exposed how little else the list had. Six translated
strings written for exactly this control had no caller: the explanation
of what it does, the note that it governs the database and not the chat
window, and three presets -- data minimisation, select all, deselect
all. Eighty-nine checkboxes without a "recommended" button is not a
choice anyone makes.

So the list now carries the same eight groups the export uses, with the
individual channels one fold away. It is the one control that decides
what reaches the database; the two screens describing channels the same
way is worth more here than anywhere else.

The unknown-channel switch gets its description back, and the telemetry
section stops being the last English literal in the tab. It stays a
statement rather than a switch: a toggle would imply there is something
to turn off.
2026-08-18 22:30:12 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 9b634f54e9 fix(tabs): stop a tell from a popped-out partner hijacking the main window
Reported from the field: a new tell from someone whose tab is popped out
throws the main window onto the General tab, every time.

The router revealed the tab by activating it in the main window. That
window does not display a popped-out tab -- PickMainActiveTab re-anchors
on the next frame, and it anchors to the FIRST non-popped tab in list
order, not to the one the user was reading. So the reveal did nothing it
intended and threw away the active tab on the way.

Nothing needed revealing in the first place: the tab was already on
screen in its own window. That decision now lives in PlanTellReveal,
next to the pop-out helpers it belongs with, pure and pinned by nine
facts -- the mode, the switch and the popped-out state have eight
combinations between them and only two of them should touch anything.

ActivateTab refuses a popped-out tab outright as well. The router is the
caller that got it wrong, but the invariant belongs to the window: its
active tab is never one that something else is drawing.

JonKazama-Hellion 4f4f5fc86a docs: finish holding the documentation against the code
The first pass through A6 caught the dead file paths and the two GDPR
sections. A review pass walked every remaining claim and found eight
more that no longer describe the plugin.

The privacy notice carries a "last reviewed" stamp and commits, in its
own text, to keeping it accurate for the version it describes. It still
said v1.1.0 after the block that rewrote two of its sections.

Both documents announced two outbound network calls in their opening
paragraphs. The Lodestone font download went away in v1.0.4 and the
notice explains that further down, so the summary contradicted its own
body. There is one call, and it is BetterTTV.

The emote cache is `EmoteCacheV1/`, which the notice states correctly in
one place and wrongly in two others, two lines above a line this cycle
had already touched.

The list of buttons that open a browser named a Ko-fi page that appears
nowhere in the source, an issue tracker and a website that have no
button, and left out the Discord invite and the two Honorific links that
do. In a section that exists precisely to enumerate where a click sends
you, both halves matter.

The README described the pop-out input bar as an opt-in under a settings
section that does not exist. Neither does the switch: PopOutInputEnabled
has no reader, the input bar is unconditional, and the field belongs on
the deletion list. Said plainly instead.

Also: the export narrows by age, not by a date range, in both documents;
the tab is called About, not Info, and it has no per-translator list;
the sections are Colours and Integrations.

Plus a note the users affected by it deserve: the v24 migration switches
the privacy filter off where it was on with nothing selected, and until
now that was only in the log.
2026-08-18 22:14:45 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 06ef0bfb1c fix(input): let the arrow keys walk the sent-message history again
Reported against v1.11.0: type a command, send it, need it again, and
up-arrow does nothing. v1.5.6 recalled it.

Everything needed was already in the tree. InputHistoryService holds the
last thirty entries with move-to-newest dedup, CompactInputHistoryNavigator
owns the cursor maths, and both have their own test mirrors. Neither had
a single caller, and the input field never set CallbackHistory, so ImGui
had no reason to raise the event in the first place.

So: the flag goes on, the callback grows a history branch, and TrySend
pushes the trimmed line before it clears the buffer. Editing ends the
walk, otherwise down-arrow after changing a recalled line would jump to
the next entry and discard the edit.

The cursor is per input bar while the history is global. Which line each
window is looking at is not something the others should inherit.
2026-08-18 22:13:41 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 0279a1a9d6 fix(privacy): close the gaps three review passes found in block A
The worst of them made the block's own privacy promise backwards.

PrivacyPersistChannels was given a non-empty field initializer so a
fresh config would record conversations only. Dalamud deserialises with
Json.NET's defaults, which means ObjectCreationHandling.Auto: a
collection field that already holds items gets *populated*, not
replaced. Verified against Newtonsoft 13.0.3 -- saved [] loads as the
initializer, saved [Say] loads as initializer plus Say. So the change
would have unioned the privacy-first list into every existing config on
load and switched channels back on that the user had unticked, while
also making the v24 migration unreachable and its self-test vacuous. The
field is empty again and the seeding moved to CreateFresh, which only
runs when there is no config file at all.

Cleanup could delete a channel it had promised to keep. The allowlist
could only name channels that were already in the database when the
preview ran, so an unrecognised channel whose first message arrived
afterwards fell outside it. Where the failsafe is on, the deletion now
names what goes -- known channels that are not on the list -- instead of
what stays. The window closes completely, and a listed channel that
happens to be empty right now is safe for the same reason.

The cleanup preview was the one long operation that never took the
shared lock, while holding an open reader across a full-table scan.
That is precisely the case the lock was written for.

Clearing the history reported success when it failed. ClearMessages
purges the full-text index between the delete and the VACUUM; if that
step throws, the plaintext stays on disk and the user was told it was
gone. It has its own error string now, in all 25 languages.

Also:

- One busy state for the whole tab. Cleanup, clear, maintenance and
  export reach the same store, and per-section flags left two
  destructive buttons live at once. The lock turned that into a refusal
  rather than damage, but a refusal you have to trigger to discover is
  not an answer.
- The gate carries a revision, bumped by every mutating operation that
  finishes. A preview taken before a retention sweep no longer passes as
  current afterwards: comparing it against the settings alone cannot see
  that the rows it counted are gone.
- Database metadata moved to a worker. Checking "is anything busy" first
  is not enough, because an operation can take the lock in the gap
  before COUNT(*) runs, and then the game stands still for a whole file
  rewrite.
- The clear hint stays hidden until the count has actually been read.
  "0 messages are stored" in front of the clear button is a lie told at
  the worst possible moment.
- Refusal notices read the operation once. Guard and name were two reads
  of the same field, so a run finishing in between printed a sentence
  that stopped at the colon.
- The retention sweep cannot start twice. The gate only goes busy once
  the worker reaches TryBegin, and the due-check runs every tick.
- Teardown waits up to five seconds for the store to come free rather
  than disposing the connection under a running VACUUM.
- Maintenance has its own flag and says so when it is refused; reload
  gets the same guard as its neighbour; the breakdown tree keeps its
  open state across a language switch.

JonKazama-Hellion 1987d745d8 docs: hold the documentation against the code
Every claim in the user-facing docs, checked against what the plugin
actually does after A2 to A5.

The two GDPR sections in PRIVACY.md describe features that only exist
again as of this cycle, so they now name the screens they live on and
say what the cleanup does with a channel this build does not recognise.
The export sentence promised a date range; the form offers an age in
days.

PRIVACY.md also named "Show emotes" in Settings as the way to stop the
one outbound call the plugin makes. That switch has had no control since
May, and a documented opt-out that only exists in the JSON is not an
opt-out, so the toggle is back in the chat tab. Both its strings were
already translated.

Dead paths: the README source tree still listed a file deleted in May,
docs/IPC.md cited a window that no longer exists, the first-run wizard
pointed at the same removed file, and the theme authoring guide sent
readers to a Themes tab that is called Appearance.

The changelog lost two double blank lines that were failing markdownlint
and holding preflight red. Preflight is green again.

Historical documents keep their old paths on purpose: the changelog and
the AI disclosure describe what was true when they were written.
2026-08-18 21:51:15 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion e24ea79302 feat(privacy): reconnect database maintenance and the manual retention run
Two sections that had backends and no buttons.

Database: path, size, WAL size, message count, and a clear button. The
numbers refresh at most every five seconds and not at all while a long
operation owns the store -- MessageCount takes the read lock, and asking
for it during a VACUUM means waiting for the whole file to be rewritten,
on the draw thread. The old version called ClearMessages straight from
the draw thread, VACUUM included; it runs on a worker now.

One line beyond the old layout sits above the clear button: how many
messages are stored, and that exporting keeps a copy. Whoever is about
to throw the history away should be told there is a way not to.

The legacy Chat 2 files only get a block when they are actually on disk,
and the advanced tools only appear when the section is expanded with
Shift held. The message injector is not back: it was deleted with the
tab and writing 10,000 fake messages into a user's real database is not
something to rebuild on the way past.

Retention: an "apply now" button, the running hint, and the last-run
line, which v1.11.0 shipped as an English literal while both strings sat
translated in all 25 languages. Plus reset-to-spec next to the existing
clear-overrides, since the two answer different questions and both were
already translated.

Retention_Apply_Tooltip stays unused and gets a replacement. It ends
with "Save your changes first", and the window it was written for had a
Save button.

Also here, found while wiring the manual trigger:

DbOperationGate.End now takes the operation it releases. It used to
reset blindly, on the reasoning that a worker must be able to release
from a finally without knowing whether it acquired. That is backwards: a
worker whose TryBegin was refused also runs its finally, and a blind
reset there hands away the lock of whichever operation actually holds
it. Worse than no gate, because the refused worker walks off believing
it did nothing while a VACUUM starts under somebody's open reader.
2026-08-18 21:47:50 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 1ab7ba8377 feat(privacy): reconnect the retroactive cleanup
The privacy filter only decides what gets written from now on. Whatever
was stored before the user narrowed their channels stays there until
something removes it, and that something has had no button since May.

Two rules shape the section, both because this deletes history and
cannot be undone:

- Without a preview the apply button does not exist. Not greyed out,
  absent. A disabled button is something a user waits for; a missing one
  is something they have to go and earn.
- A preview that no longer matches the settings counts as no preview.
  The old version only recoloured the number and left the button live,
  so a changed whitelist could be applied against counts computed for
  the previous one.

The mapping from the live rule to CleanupRetainOnly is the part worth
reading twice. CleanupRetainOnly takes one set and deletes everything
else, so it can only stand in for the live rule where that rule narrows
something: filter off means nothing is filtered, and an empty list means
a full wipe, which has its own button and its own confirmation. Both
cases now say so instead of offering a destructive action that does not
mean what it looks like.

Inside that, the allowlist is the whitelist itself plus any stored
channel this build does not recognise while the unknown-channel failsafe
is on. Deriving it from the counts instead would delete messages that
arrive on a whitelisted but currently empty channel between the preview
and the apply, and dropping the unrecognised ones would defeat the
failsafe, which exists to hold on to a new patch's channel until the
user has decided about it.

The preview runs on a worker over its own connection. It is a GROUP BY
across every stored row, the old version ran it inline on the draw
thread, and holding the read lock for it would stall UpsertMessage on
the framework thread for the length of the scan.

Cleanup_Help_SavedNote stays unused: it tells the reader to press Save
first, and the window it was written for had a Save button.
2026-08-18 21:38:34 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 94af81a961 fix(privacy): let the channel grid actually decide what is stored
IsAllowedForStorage applied the unknown-channel failsafe to known
channels too. Untick Say in the grid, leave "Save unknown channel types"
on, and Say kept being written -- and that failsafe is on by default.

So a config that never met the wizard ran with the filter enabled, an
empty list and the failsafe on, which stored everything while the
filter's own description promised "only messages from allowed channels
are written to the database". The grid was inert for exactly the users
who had not been walked through the wizard.

The rule now reads: on the list, or unknown and the failsafe allows it.
A known channel the user did not pick stays out.

That correction alone would turn "stores everything" into "stores
nothing" for those same configs, so two things move with it:

- Config v24 switches the filter off where it was on with nothing
  picked. Same behaviour as before, stated where the user can see it,
  and one line in the log saying so. A config that does have picks keeps
  them and starts honouring them, which is the point of the change.
- A fresh config seeds the list from PrivacyFirstWhitelist instead of
  starting empty. Privacy by Default was already the documented intent;
  it just relied on the hole to stay usable.

The rule lives in its own type now. Configuration implements a Dalamud
interface, and the build suite cannot load Dalamud.dll -- the runtime
resolves the declaring type before reaching the method body, so even a
static call on it fails. Fifteen cases pin the truth table and the
migration condition; the self-test checks the running config is not in
the state the migration exists to undo.
2026-08-18 21:32:02 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion d59ee62223 feat(privacy): reconnect the message export
The exporter has worked since v1.4.8. The form that drives it went out
with the old settings window in May, which left PRIVACY.md promising an
access request the plugin had no way to answer.

New section in the data and privacy tab: time range, sender substring,
channel groups, format, and a save dialog. Form state lives in the tab,
not the config -- a filter describes one action, and a stale "last 7
days, sender Mira" reappearing weeks later is a worse start than an
empty form.

StreamForExport now takes a caller-owned connection. The reader stays
open for as long as the file is written, seconds to minutes on a large
history, and chat keeps arriving throughout -- so the primary connection
would be read here and written by UpsertMessage at once, and
SqliteConnection is not thread-safe. Holding the read lock instead would
trade that for freezing the game.

ChannelGroups lifts the eight groups out of the deleted tab and finishes
them: 37 of 89 channels belonged to no group and were therefore
unreachable in the UI. Game Master channels follow ChatTypeExt.Parent(),
so GmTell sits with the other tells rather than under system traffic --
an access request that quietly drops part of what it promises is the
dangerous kind of gap.

Also here:

- OpenSecondaryConnection disposes on a failing pragma. Open can succeed
  and journal_mode=WAL still time out, and with Pooling=false the
  connection then survives until a finalizer reaches it. Affects the
  full-text rebuild worker too.
- StreamForExport builds its logger before the reader, so a throwing
  CreateLogger cannot leave a reader nobody owns.
- The export thread takes the gate itself instead of the caller taking
  it first. Acquiring before Start would strand the gate for the session
  if thread creation failed, and the gate also holds back the sweep.
- Notifications are skipped once teardown has started. The thread has no
  cancellation path and finishing the file is right, but reporting it to
  a plugin that is gone is not.
- Transient widget rows that return their value instead of saving it.
  Writing the config file on every keystroke of a sender filter would be
  both pointless and slow.
- Five translated keys for "another database operation is running", in
  all 25 languages. Two of the four operation names have no trigger yet;
  they arrive with the cleanup and maintenance sections.
2026-08-18 21:25:10 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 90bf986f76 refactor(export): read text from chunks, write the file atomically
Two changes to MessageExporter before it gets a caller.

It read SenderSource and ContentSource, the raw SeStrings. TextValue on one
holding an auto-translate phrase reaches SeStringEvaluator, which asserts it is
on the main thread and throws unconditionally when a macro resolves a global
number. An export belongs on a worker, so that would abort it partway and leave
half a file.

The plan called for resolving text in batches on the framework thread. Not
needed: Message.Sender and Message.Content are already-resolved chunk lists --
ChunkUtil turns auto-translate into text at ingest, and the full-text index reads
them exactly this way. Same strings, no evaluator, no thread affinity, and no
batching machinery.

Second, the file handling. The format was validated after the StreamWriter was
opened, so an unknown format left a zero-byte file where a previous export had
been. It is checked first now, and the write goes to a .part file that is moved
into place at the end. A crash halfway used to leave a file that opens cleanly
and is quietly incomplete -- which on the path a GDPR access request goes out on
is worse than an obvious failure.

Almost none of this is reachable from the build suite: ExportToFile takes
IEnumerable<Message>, Message needs SeString, and xUnit cannot load Dalamud.dll
-- even an empty list fails, because the runtime resolves the parameter type
before the body runs. So the format mapping is pinned there and the rest by a new
self-test, which builds probe messages with deliberately empty SeStrings: if the
exporter ever reads them again, the text comes out blank and it fails.

JonKazama-Hellion 22de2de234 docs(db): correct why VACUUM fails against an open reader
The comment said PerformMaintenance inherits a five-second timeout before
throwing. It does inherit that timeout, but it is not what happens here: a VACUUM
on a connection with a live reader fails instantly with 'cannot VACUUM - SQL
statements in progress'.

That is SQLITE_ERROR, not SQLITE_BUSY. Busy handling only covers contention
between different connections, so no timeout applies and no retry helps. The
practical difference matters for the error message the UI will show: the DELETE
has already committed when it fires, so the rows are gone and only the compaction
is missing -- 'deleted but not compacted', not 'failed'.

And PerformMaintenance batches VACUUM, REINDEX and ANALYZE in one statement, so
a failing VACUUM takes the other two with it.
2026-08-18 20:37:40 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion 6a3bbe2357 fix(ci): let the version check tell a release from a local build
The check demanded csproj, repo.json and every DownloadLink carry the same
version. That is right for a published release and impossible for anything else,
so it went red the moment v1.11.0 closed -- and pre-push blocks on it.

The two states were conflated. repo.json is the distribution manifest, so its
version has to describe what the links actually serve. Claiming 1.11.0 while
every link serves v1.5.6 makes Dalamud offer an update, install the old build,
and offer the same update again on the next launch. Satisfying the old rule
meant building exactly that.

Now: the manifest must always agree with itself and with its links, and the
build must never be older than what is published. --release additionally demands
the three match, which is the mode for cutting a tag and still catches the v1.2.2
burn it was written for.

The link check moved from the csproj version to the manifest version, which is
the pairing that protects users. In the old form a manifest could name a version
none of its links served and pass, as long as the csproj agreed -- the exact
mismatch it now rejects.
2026-08-18 20:28:28 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion d0eb2934ed feat(db): one gate for every long-running database operation
Generalises the retention-sweep lock, which already solved this for a single
case: it stopped a manual sweep from racing the automatic one, and nothing else.

Export, cleanup and clear need the same protection against each other, and for a
sharper reason. An export leaves a reader open on the primary connection
deliberately outside _readLock, because the enumerator is consumed lazily by its
caller. A VACUUM starting while that reader lives meets an active reader on a
connection Microsoft documents as not thread-safe, and PerformMaintenance sets no
command timeout, so it inherits five seconds before throwing -- after the DELETE
has already committed.

TryBegin refuses rather than queues. Every one of these is user-initiated, and a
wipe that fires minutes after the click is worse than one that declines. End is
idempotent and does not check which operation ends, so a worker that throws
before acquiring can still release from its finally block.

Current is volatile because the draw thread reads it every frame to decide which
buttons are disabled. Blocking on the lock to find that out would freeze the game
for the length of a VACUUM, which is the exact failure this is meant to prevent.

Pure state machine, so the transitions are pinned without a database or an ImGui
frame -- including that exactly one of 64 competing callers wins.

JonKazama-Hellion 125a57167e fix(privacy): purge the full-text index when messages are deleted
messages_fts stores sender and content as plain text, and no delete path touched
it. ClearMessages, CleanupRetainOnly and the retention sweep all removed rows
from `messages` alone, so the readable text of every "deleted" message stayed on
disk.

It was self-sealing. InitFtsReadyCache treats a non-empty index as ready, so
after a wipe the index stayed full, the flag stayed true, and the rebuild that
would have cleared it never ran again.

This is not hypothetical: the retention sweep runs unattended every 24 hours,
so any user with retention on has been accumulating orphaned plain text since
the index shipped. And the plugin says otherwise in two places -- the clear
button promises "Removes all message history. Cannot be restored", and
PRIVACY.md documents targeted deletion as a feature.

Wiping the index rather than deleting matched rows, because message_guid is a
GUID string while messages.Id is a BLOB and the two cannot be joined in SQL. The
index is derived data; it rebuilds from the surviving rows on the next start,
which is both cheaper and provably complete.

CleanupRetainOnly also skips VACUUM when nothing matched, the way
DeleteByRetentionPolicy already did. Rewriting the whole file for zero deleted
rows costs seconds on a large database and gains nothing.

Six tests drive the real store against a real database, since the defect was in
what the SQL did not touch rather than in any computed value.

JonKazama-Hellion 8bf351ba02 docs: correct the untranslated string count
Measured across the whole UI rather than estimated from the settings window:
around 270 visible literals without a resource key, not the hundred the changelog
claimed. The settings window is the bulk of it, but the first-run wizard, the
input bar and the about tab carry their share.

Smoke test for the cycle came back green -- everything works and does what it
says. The untranslated strings are the only known issue.

JonKazama-Hellion f205dd4e54 chore(release): close the v1.11.0 cycle
Version to 1.11.0 in the csproj, changelog and roadmap entries for the local
state. Not published: the public release stays at v1.5.6 and the download links
are untouched.

repo.json goes back to 1.5.6.0. It had been carrying the development version
while all three download links pointed at the v1.5.6 archive, which is a trap
waiting for a merge: Dalamud would offer an update to a version the download
does not contain, install v1.5.6 again, and offer the same update on the next
launch. main is unaffected -- it only ever saw 1.5.6.0 -- but the feature
branches have been inheriting the mismatch since v1.6.0.

The manifest version belongs to what the links actually serve. A local state is
tracked by the csproj and the changelog, which is what they are for.

Testing channel deliberately not opened yet. Publishing 1.11.0 as a test build
would ship a modern settings window alongside a first-run wizard and a message
list that are still stock ImGui -- and 1.10.0 would ship the pinned-tell-history
bug that 1.11.0 fixes.

JonKazama-Hellion d1e12ce866 fix(popouts): restore a way to close a pop-out
Last commit hid the header row when the title bar was on, to stop the tab name
appearing twice. The close button was in that row, and the title bar carries
none of its own -- ShowCloseButton is off because closing has to go through the
pool to release the slot. So a pop-out with its title bar on could not be closed
at all.

Pop-in moves into the input row, alongside the settings and hide buttons that
are already there. It is red, contrast-checked against the button plate it sits
on, and carries a tooltip, since a bare X next to an emoji picker does not say
where the tab is going.

Wired by setter after construction rather than through the constructor: the
window is what the button has to call, and it does not exist yet while its own
input row is being built. Routing it through the graph would close a
factory-callsite cycle MS.DI cannot detect.

The header row is now just the tab name, drawn only when there is no title bar
to carry it.

InputBar_PopIn_Tooltip ships in all 25 languages, including the Designer entry.
New strings get translated with the change from here on, not batched.

JonKazama-Hellion 051fd64857 fix(settings): use the translations that were already sitting there
The window came out half German and half English on a German client. Thirteen of
those labels had a translated resource all along, reachable from no line of
code -- the same defect this cycle has now hit four times.

Most visible: all seven tab names in the sidebar. Settings_Tab_General and its
siblings exist in 25 languages and the sidebar drew "General", "Appearance",
"Chat" as literals. That is the first thing anyone sees in this window.

Plus reduce motion, custom sound volume, show hide button, window opacity, the
window style heading, and the themes folder button.

Deliberately left alone where the wording matched but the context did not.
"Never" exists as a world-suffix option, not as "the sweep has never run", and
"Opacity" exists for a tab rather than a window; reusing either would read
wrong in any language that inflects them differently. Those want their own keys,
not a borrowed one.

What stays English is what has no key at all: the section headings, the keybind
labels, and the descriptions written during this cycle. Roughly a hundred
strings, and adding them means 25 files each -- that is the localisation pass,
not this commit.

JonKazama-Hellion 9c7be4106d feat(popouts): bring the pop-out windows up to the rest
Three things, all visible in one screenshot.

The tab name was drawn twice. The pop-out has a title bar carrying the tab name
and a header row underneath repeating it -- the same string, one line apart. The
header now only draws when the title bar is off, which is the case it was
written for.

The close button was ImGui.Button, so it took the theme's button colours. On
several themes that is a bright magenta plate sitting next to plain text, making
the way out of the window the loudest thing in it. It uses the plugin's own icon
button now: glyph contrast-checked against the surface, danger colour on hover
only.

And the message area gets the same floor as the main log, with the same
restraint -- no accent wash, motes at a tenth. Pop-outs were the last surface
still sitting on flat background while every other window had depth.

JonKazama-Hellion d30922af8c feat(settings): convert the appearance tab, finishing the window
The last six stock collapsing headers are gone, so all seven tabs now read the
same way. Appearance is the one people open most, being where the themes live,
and it was still the odd one out.

Its four components each needed only the heading, so they get a SectionRenderer
rather than the whole widget set -- SettingsWidgets would have handed a colour
editor a Plugin reference it has no use for.

Three of the six could not take a literal key. The colour editor draws its
section seven times with seven titles, so the key becomes a parameter. The theme
picker keys its categories by position, since CategoryMap is a fixed list and
the index survives those names being translated later. And the custom-theme
section takes a fixed key although its label carries a count, or it would reset
every time a theme is imported or removed.

The theme picker's headers also pick up the disabled state properly now. They
sit inside an ImRaii.Disabled while a theme is being edited, and a draw-list
header cannot see that push -- so they had stayed at full contrast while
everything under them dimmed.

JonKazama-Hellion 04f8f1ace8 feat(settings): opaque settings window, contrast applied throughout
The settings window no longer inherits the chat window's transparency.
GlobalStyleScope pushes one opacity for every window in the plugin, so a value
chosen to keep the chat log out of the way was also deciding how readable a
settings dialog is.

The stronger reason is that contrast cannot be computed against a background
that is not there. Behind a translucent window the real background is the game:
a black cave one minute, a snowfield the next. Every foreground measured last
commit was measured against a colour it does not actually land on. Opaque makes
that measurement true.

BgAlpha only reaches the window fill, never the draw list, so the backdrop
cannot observe it -- it takes an explicit override instead of guessing from the
pushed WindowBg.

Contrast now runs through SettingsPalette, so every row and heading gets it
without each call site asking: 4.5:1 for labels and titles, 3:1 for descriptions
and accents. The lower floor on descriptions is deliberate. It preserves the
rank between the two lines of a row, which is why the description is dimmer at
all, while still guaranteeing it stays legible.

The toggle's border is in there too. It is the only thing marking an off switch,
and a border tone that blends into the surface leaves the control invisible.

JonKazama-Hellion 33bcc38581 feat(style): pick foreground colours by measured contrast
The gradient was turned down because text on the lit edge became hard to read,
which fixed the symptom and lost the effect. The real problem is that a theme
picks one text colour while the same text lands on a base surface, a lit edge
and an accent fill, and a value that reads on one can vanish on another. White
iconography on a pale violet accent was the reported case.

So contrast is computed rather than assumed. ColourUtil gains WCAG relative
luminance, the contrast ratio, and EnsureContrast, which walks a foreground away
from its background until it clears a threshold -- 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for
icons -- and stops at the first step that does, so a colour keeps as much of its
hue as the ratio allows.

Luminance is gamma-corrected now. sRGB is gamma-encoded, so averaging raw bytes
overstates dark colours badly, and nearly every surface here is dark. Mid grey
is 0.216 relative luminance, not 0.5.

The tests caught a real error in the first version: direction was chosen by
whether the background measured below 0.5 luminance. Pale violet sits at 0.39,
counts as dark by that rule, and the function tried to make white whiter. It now
picks whichever end reaches further from the background.

With foregrounds that follow, the gradient goes back up past where it was.

Applied to the sidebar icons and labels and to the segmented control's labels.
The remaining call sites are a polish pass of their own -- this is the machinery
plus the two places that were reported.
