Merge branch 'feature/v2.0.0' into main

The 2.0.0 reset put every install on the shipped defaults for the first time, and
that exposed which of them had never actually been used. The sidebar was the
loudest: 44 pixels, a width carried over from the v1.2.0 icon-only layout and left
in place long after the sidebar started drawing labels beside those icons. Every
tab name came out clipped. Nobody had noticed in cycles because everyone had
widened it by hand -- 160 in the config this was measured against.

Default 160, and the floor moves from 40 to 130: where a tab name stops being
readable in German, which is the longest of the 25 languages, rather than where
the icons stop fitting. Anyone who wants it slimmer wants the collapsed layout,
and that is a separate width.

Glyph ranges had the same shape of problem with a worse outcome. They were only
ever filled when someone picked a language explicitly, so an install left on
"follow Dalamud" -- the default -- got none at all. That went unnoticed while
configs accumulated ranges over months; a fresh config has none, and a tester on
a Korean, Chinese, Cyrillic or Greek client would have come out of this update
reading boxes. The load path derives them from the Dalamud UI language too now.

The rest are preference defaults taken from a config that has been in daily use
across every one of these cycles: compact density off, title bar off, compact
timestamps on, compact tell tabs on, honorific glow on, 100 messages of tell
history preloaded, inactive opacity 0.75, command help on the right. New tell
tabs open as pop-outs, because the wizard's closing step tells the user to try
/tell and watch exactly that happen.

Two values were deliberately not carried over. SeenPopOutInputHint and
SeenPopOutHeaderHint are not preferences, they are "this user has seen it"
markers -- shipping them as true would mean no new user ever sees the hints that
explain a feature people did not find on their own. The greeted toggle stays off
as well: it is opt-in for people who greet.

Also dropped the light-bulb emoji from the wizard's closing hint in all 25
languages. UI icons come from the icon font here, not from emoji.

Dropdown sortiert alphabetisch nach Endonym, „None" oben angepinnt. Nicht-native Übersetzungen sind AI-assisted und für Community-Review im Forge-Discord markiert.
+- **Inter Light statt Exo 2 als bundled Schrift.** Plus NotoSansCjkRegular als dritte Merge-Schicht. Damit deckt der Stack Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic, Cyrillic Supplement und CJK (inkl. Hangul, Simplified-Han nach Reform) ab — die nicht-vanilla-FFXIV-Sprachen waren mit Exo 2 nicht lesbar.
+- **HITCH 74 → ~20 ms als Side-Effect.** Der UiBuilder-First-Frame-Lag lag seit v1.4.x stabil bei 74 ms; v1.5.1 wollte ihn in Richtung 7 ms ziehen, fiel als „Hypothese zu optimistisch" durch. Echter Grund: `Plugin.cs:937` push'te `RegularFont` nur wenn `FontsEnabled` true war — die „Mitgelieferte Schrift verwenden"-Logik setzte `FontsEnabled = false` mit, der bundled-Pfad war die ganze v1.5.x-Reihe tot, FFXIVs Axis-Font übernahm und kostete ~50 ms extra. Fix routet `RegularFont` jetzt auch über `UseHellionFont`. Median ~20 ms im 5-Reload-Stresstest (17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine; Windows-Baseline steht aus).
+- **Glyph-Ranges aktivieren sich automatisch beim Sprachwechsel** plus eine One-Shot-Migration für User die schon eine non-Latin-Sprache eingestellt hatten. Neue WarningText unter dem Sprach-Dropdown weist darauf hin, dass FFXIVs Chat-Engine offiziell nur EN/DE/FR/JA-Glyphen rendert — andere Schriften können in der Game-Eingabe Garbled-Output zeigen.
+- **Unter der Haube.** Drei-Layer-Font-Stack, zwei neue ExtraGlyphRanges-Flags (`LatinExtended`, `Greek`), `LanguageOverride`-Enum wächst um zehn Locales plus drei reaktivierte (Italian, Korean, Norwegian mit `nb`). Append-only damit User-Configs stabil bleiben. Migration v17 bleibt.

Alle Hellion-Flächen gleiten mit: Sidebar, Titel, Buttons, Tabs, Scrollbar, Trennlinien. Der Fenster-Hintergrund snappt bewusst weiter, damit das Per-Window-Deckkraft-Setting aus Dalamuds Pinning-Menü unangetastet bleibt.
+- **Header-Quick-Picker.** Neuer Paletten-Button links vom Zahnrad im Chat-Header. Ein Klick öffnet ein kompaktes Popup mit zwei Sektionen: alle Built-in- und Custom-Themes sowie alle Tabs. Der aktive Eintrag trägt ein Häkchen, ein Klick wechselt ohne das Popup zu schließen. So lassen sich mehrere Wechsel hintereinander erledigen, ohne den Umweg über die Einstellungen.
+- **Sanfte Hover-Animationen.** Sidebar-Icons faden bei Hover sanft von gedimmt auf volle Deckkraft. Card-Mode-Trennlinien heben sich beim Überfahren einer Zeile für den ganzen Tab dezent ab. Beides framerate-unabhängig gerechnet, also auch bei Wine-Stall-Frames stabil.
+- **Bewegung reduzieren.** Neuer Toggle im Tab für Theme und Layout. Er deaktiviert Crossfade, Hover-Animationen und das Pulsieren ungelesener Tabs für alle, die eine statische Oberfläche bevorzugen.

Ein 403 eines Emote-Dienstes riss alle 65 funktionierenden Emotes mit.

-    **v1.5.2 — First-Run Wizard Rework (2026-05-18)**
+    **v2.0.0 — Rebuilt, Repaired, Reset (2026-08-19)**
 
-    UX patch. The first-run wizard becomes a four-step flow with a
-    new Roleplay privacy profile and a power-settings step that
-    surfaces previously-hidden defaults. Existing v1.5.1 users see
-    the new wizard once on first v1.5.2 boot.
+    Nine development cycles in one release. Everything built as v1.6.0 through v1.15.0 ships here; those versions were never published on their own.
 
-    What changes user-visible:
+    **This update resets your settings.** Nine cycles of rebuilding left saved values pointing at surfaces that no longer exist, and starting over is the only way to be sure every install is on the same defaults. **Your message history is untouched** — it lives in a separate database. Your old settings are kept next to the config file as `HellionChat.json.pre-2.0.0.bak`.
 
-    - Wizard navigation: Welcome → Privacy profile → Power settings
-      → Done. Forge-Bronze pagination dots, dedicated stage for the
-      power settings so they are no longer buried in Settings.
-    - Fourth privacy profile "Roleplay": Privacy-First plus Say and
-      both emote types, with a 30-day window for Say and a 90-day
-      window for emotes. Shout, Yell and Novice Network stay out.
-    - Privacy picker becomes a 2x2 grid. Casual stays the
-      recommended option with a ★ marker.
-    - Power-settings step covers Load Previous Session, Filter
-      Include Previous Sessions, Auto-Tell-Tabs History Preload,
-      Compact Density, Prettier Timestamps and a built-in theme
-      picker. All six map to existing Configuration fields — no new
-      settings introduced.
-    - Staged commit: the wizard only writes to Config on the Finish
-      step. Decide-later or X-close at any point leaves the existing
-      config untouched.
-    - Inline test hint on the done step: "type /tell <Player Name>
-      into chat" surfaces the auto-tell-tab spawn mechanism.
-    - Window starts at 720x480 (was 900x560) and can shrink to
-      600x400; Step 1 keeps the fox banner in a folded TreeNode so
-      the onboarding copy stays primary.
-    - Existing users get the new wizard surfaced once on first boot
-      after the update via the new WizardLastShownVersion config
-      field. Future cycles bump the constant only when the wizard
-      itself changes shape.
+    Fixed, and several of these lost data or hid it:
+
+    - Retroactive cleanup could never be applied at all. The preview took the database lock itself and that counted as a change, so every preview went stale the instant it finished and the apply button never appeared.
+    - Compacting the database ran against an open reader and failed, after which the plugin reported that nothing had been deleted — while everything had.
+    - Deleting messages left them in the search index, so search kept returning rows that were already gone.
+    - Pinned tell tabs came up empty for a whole session: the history query ran at plugin start, before any character is logged in, and never tried again.
+    - Export wrote invalid JSON where a setting value was involved, and a byte-order mark that strict parsers reject.
+    - A pop-out with its title bar switched on could not be closed, and a tell from a popped-out partner hijacked the main window's active tab.
+    - One third-party emote service started returning 403, and that response took all 65 working global emotes down with it on every start.
+    - The GDPR notice for the full-history profile had been translated into 25 languages and shown nowhere since May.
+
+    Changed, and one of these changes what gets stored:
+
+    - **The channel grid is now authoritative.** Until now the unknown-channel failsafe was applied to known channels too, so a channel you had unticked was still being written while that failsafe was on. If that was you, this release stores less than before. Nothing already in the database is touched.
+    - Every window is drawn by the plugin rather than by ImGui defaults, and they share one visual language: structure carried by typography, a surface on anything you can press, and colours measured against what sits behind them.
+    - Typography has named roles — sender, body and timestamp mean the same thing everywhere, timestamps sit in their own column, system messages are italic.
+    - Export, the tab editor, database maintenance and pinning had lost their entry points during the rebuild and are reachable again.
+    - Screenshot mode reached one of four surfaces that draw a tab name. It reaches all four now.
+
+    Removed: six settings that had a control and a saved value but no reader anywhere in the plugin; a per-tab regex filter the game's own blackword filter covers; and a wizard checkbox that was collected, reported as applied and never read.
+
+    New: an Emote tab in the default layout, local and server clocks in the status bar, a screenshot mode reachable from the input row, `/hellion wizard` to reopen the setup wizard, a style lab under `/hellion lab`, and 25 UI languages with the settings window and wizard fully covered.
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2). The two codebases have diverged far enough that they no longer line up.
+
+    ---
+
+    **v1.5.6 — Settings Overhaul + Filter & Notification Polish (2026-05-23)**
+
+    - Settings window reorganised: ten tabs down to seven (General, Appearance, Chat, Window, Channels, Data & Privacy, About). Each tab now uses collapsible sections grouped by control type. Sections start collapsed every time you open a tab — less noise, easier to find what you need.
+    - New sender-name display options under Chat → Messages: separate world-suffix and name-format modes (Full name / First name only / Initials × Never / Other worlds only / Always).
+    - Plugin-only symbols now show a pre-send warning so other players do not get empty boxes (Chat → Messages → "Warn before sending plugin-only symbols").
+    - Separate window opacity for focused vs. inactive chat window (Appearance → Window style → "Inactive window opacity"). The slider above sets the focused value.
+    - Custom notification sound volume slider (General → Sound, and mirrored in Channels → per-tab → Notification). Affects only the three bundled custom sounds; the 16 game sounds are unaffected.
+    - The per-tab regex filter that briefly shipped earlier in this cycle has been removed — FFXIV's built-in blackword filter covers the same need.
+    - All 24 locale files updated for the new section labels and the v1.5.6 control labels (machine translation; native review continues via the Hellion Forge Discord).

+
+    **v1.5.5 — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features (2026-05-21)**
+
+    A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
+    banner image and custom notification sounds.
+
+    User-visible:
+
+    - Failed tells now raise a warning toast when a message you sent
+      could not be delivered (recipient offline, in an instance, or
+      blocking you). Toggle in Settings, Chat tab.
+    - Per-tab notification sound: each tab can play a sound when a
+      message arrives while you are looking at a different tab. Pick
+      one of the 16 game chat sounds or one of three bundled Hellion
+      sounds, with a preview button to hear it. Off by default,
+      respects the global sound toggle.
+    - The tab rename field in the right-click menu now focuses
+      itself when the menu opens and accepts up to 512 characters,
+      matching the settings-tab rename.
+    - A jump-to-latest button appears in the chat log header while
+      you are scrolled up from the live end.
+    - Map flags and item links can be inserted into the chat input
+      from its right-click menu.
+    - The Hellion Forge fox banner in the first-run wizard and the
+      Information tab is now a real image instead of ASCII art.
+
+    Schema bumped to v18 (additive fields only, no data migration).

+
+    **v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**
+
+    A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
+    access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
+    accessibility toggle.
+
+    User-visible:
+
+    - Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms across every
+      Hellion-rendered surface — sidebar, title, buttons, tabs,
+      scrollbar, separators. The window background snaps deliberately
+      so the per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu
+      stays untouched.
+    - New header quick-picker: a palette button left of the cog opens
+      a compact popup with two sections — every built-in and custom
+      theme, and every tab. The active entry carries a check glyph;
+      clicking another switches without closing the popup.
+    - Sidebar icons ease their opacity on hover, and card-mode message
+      borders highlight per tab while the cursor is over their rows.
+      Framerate-independent, so a stalled Wine frame cannot overshoot
+      the animation.
+    - New "Reduce motion" toggle in Theme & Layout disables the
+      crossfade, the hover animations and the unread-tab pulse for
+      users who prefer a static UI.
 
     Under the hood:
 
-    - WizardStateSmokeStep added to /xlperf alongside the FontManager
-      and ThemeSwitch self-tests.
-    - Twelve new pure-helper xUnit Facts in the Build Suite cover
-      all four privacy profile sets and their retention overrides.
+    - Two pure-helper lerp paths (ThemeAbgrCacheLerp, FrameLerp) with
+      xUnit coverage in the Build Suite, plus a ColourUtil.ApplyAlpha
+      alpha modulator. Two new /xlperf self-test steps pin the
+      crossfade and quick-picker contracts.
 
-    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump). The Configuration grows
-    one optional string field (WizardLastShownVersion) which
-    defaults to empty for legacy users.
+    No schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.

-
-    **v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**
-
-    Hybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.
-
-    What changes under the hood:
-
-    - FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single
-      atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds once
-      per plugin load instead of four to five times — less CPU and GPU
-      pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less atlas texture
-      memory churn.
-    - Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become
-      init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable because
-      the eight font settings still need to replace them at runtime —
-      that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts() now and
-      runs without a plugin reload.
-    - FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle
-      instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build step
-      less in the ctor.
-    - BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation
-      path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.
-    - Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor
-      smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas
-      load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).
-
-    Honorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item) was
-    dropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient
-    frame, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was declined.
-    The integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.
-
-    User-visible:
-
-    - Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is
-      emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner
-      with "Hellion Forge" set inside the body is available as a
-      folded TreeNode in the First-Run Wizard and Settings ->
-      Information tab. Drawn by Julia Moon, embedded in the plugin DLL.
-    - No settings changes, no migration. v17 stays.
-
-    Note on performance: the cross-plugin baseline target from v1.5.0
-    (matching Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger at ~7 ms HITCH) did
-    not land this cycle. HITCH stays around 80 ms because the cost is
-    in the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build
-    (which this cycle did reduce from 4-5 builds per load to 1). A
-    first-frame render investigation is reserved for a later cycle.

-
-    ---
-
-    **v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**
-
-    Major architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a
-    generic-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
-    IServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging
-    moves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed
-    Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T> via constructor injection,
-    bridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.
-
-    What changes under the hood:
-
-    - 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger<T> via constructor
-      injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,
-      MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations
-      (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three
-      GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,
-      DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,
-      ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).
-    - Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor
-      injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,
-      AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected
-      types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance
-      classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one
-      GameFunctions site).
-    - Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the
-      pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge
-      wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations
-      that previously lived in LoadAsync.
-    - Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against
-      Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2
-      74 ms median. Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around
-      7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past Finished
-      loading — that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up.
-
-    User-visible:
-
-    - Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the
-      chat input (Friend List "/tell" action, plugin-driven inserts
-      from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing
-      input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo
-      upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.
-
-    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
-
-    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-
-    **v1.4.10 — Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)**
-
-    Eleventh and final sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series.
-    Symbol picker for the chat input, a tell-history reload fix for
-    users with many active partners, and a closing cleanup sweep
-    before v1.5.0 picks up the DI-container adoption.
-
-    - Symbol picker: a small smile-icon button left of the channel
-      indicator opens a popup with two tabs. The first lists all 161
-      FFXIV PUA glyphs (Dalamud's SeIconChar enum); the second
-      carries 97 server-verified BMP symbols (latin marks, currency,
-      the full Greek alphabet, geometric shapes, suits, notes) —
-      every one of them round-tripped through /echo and /say in a
-      four-round probe so the in-channel render matches what the
-      picker shows. Click drops the glyph at the caret, multi-insert
-      keeps the popup open, and a recent-used strip floats the last
-      sixteen picks across both tabs. Toggle in Settings → Chat →
-      Message behaviour, default on.
-    - Pinned auto-tell tabs reload their full history again: a
-      hidden 500-row scan cap in PreloadHistory used to override the
-      user-configurable AutoTellTabsHistoryPreload setting, so
-      less-frequent pinned partners (rare /tell sessions in an
-      otherwise busy week) lost their backlog. The cap is removed;
-      the (Receiver, Date) index keeps SQL fast, the client-side
-      loop still respects your setting as the upper bound.
-    - Slash-command teardown: /hellion, /hellionView,
-      /hellionDebugger (and #if DEBUG /hellionSeString) wrappers are
-      now cached as private fields. Plugin teardown detaches the
-      live registration instead of re-Register'ing with identical
-      args — closes a latent maintenance hazard from v1.4.9.
-    - v1.4.x polish-sweep wraps up here. The ImGuiListClipper render
-      refactor that was on the v1.4.10 reserve list got dropped
-      after cross-platform smoke showed the scroll rubber-band is a
-      Wine / Linux render-pipeline quirk, not universal — Windows
-      users never saw it. It will get its own platform-targeted
-      spike in a later patch. Next major cycle is v1.5.0 with the
-      DI-container adoption (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
-      ILogger<T>) modelled on Lightless.
-    - Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
-
-    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
