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.
Establishes the local pre-push gate. preflight.sh runs four blocks: version
consistency, manifest shape (Icon plus all ImageUrls), changelog sync, plus a
release build as compile-health smoke. setup-hooks.sh wires core.hooksPath to
.githooks. .gitignore opens scripts/ for tracking (setup-dev-env.sh stays
private). Test execution itself lives in a separate local repository and is
not part of this codebase.
Updated the contributing guidelines to reflect changes in project scope, contribution acceptance criteria, and response times. Clarified sections on translations and continuous integration.
- 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
