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.
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.
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.
- Translated project documentation (LEARNING-JOURNEY, CONTRIBUTORS, AI_DISCLOSURE) to English for better accessibility.
- Standardized internal code documentation by converting XML-doc blocks to standard comment format.
- Cleaned up inline comments and removed redundant versioning metadata across the codebase.
- Refactored non-functional text elements to improve readability and maintain a consistent style.
