Merge feature/v1.4.5 — UX and Robustness

docs: linter pass on v1.4.5 release notes
Whitespace and line-reflow drift from the markdown linter on the four files touched by the versions-bump commit (forge-post, README, CHANGELOG, ROADMAP). No content changes.

 **Hellion Chat 1.4.4 — Threading- und IPC-Sicherheits-Politur**
 Fünfter Sub-Patch der v1.4.x Polish-Sweep-Serie. Threading-Annahmen werden explizit pro Methode dokumentiert, ein
 Hot-Path-Lock im Auto-Tell-Tab-Counter fällt weg, IPC-Cleanup wird sichtbar wenn er fehlschlägt und der Privacy-Filter
 spricht jetzt bei unbekannten ChatTypes.
 - **AutoTellTabsService Hot-Path-Lock entfernt.** `ActiveTempTabCount` hat bisher pro Render-Frame ein LINQ-Count unter
  einem Lock gemacht. Jetzt läuft das über einen Interlocked-Counter der parallel zur Tabs-Liste mitgeführt wird,
  inklusive Resync-Hook für den Snapshot-Restore-Pfad in `SaveConfig`. Plus Pure-Helper-Test-Mirror in der Build-Suite
  damit die Atomicity-Semantik nicht versehentlich wegrefactored wird
 - **HonorificService selbst-dokumentierende Threading-Banner.** Statt eines Block-Comments am Klassen-Ende hat jede
  IPC-Callback-Methode jetzt einen 1-Zeilen-Banner darüber, der den Thread-Kontext direkt am Call-Site benennt
  (framework only, framework scheduled, any). Mehr Hilfe für künftige Reviews als ein abstraktes Threading-Kapitel
 - **Unsubscribe-Failure ist jetzt sichtbar.** `TryUnsubscribe` hat ein Honorific-Unsubscribe-Failure bisher als Debug
  geloggt, was bei Standard-Loglevel verschluckt wurde. Eine geleakte Subscription kann den Service über Plugin-Reloads
  hinweg leben lassen, also läuft der Log jetzt auf Warning
 - **AutoTranslate-Warmup blockiert den Plugin-Unload nicht mehr.** Der Cache-Warmup-Thread war ohne `IsBackground=true`
  unterwegs, was den Unload um 100-300 ms verzögern konnte. Pattern-Match zu MessageManager und RetentionSweep (beide
  seit v1.4.0)
 - **Privacy-Filter loggt unbekannte ChatTypes.** Wenn FFXIV durch einen Patch einen neuen ChatType einführt der weder in
  der Whitelist noch in den Defaults steht, wird er bisher silent durch den Failsafe geleitet. Jetzt loggt der Filter
  einmalig pro Runtime eine Warning mit dem Type und dem Failsafe-Wert. Dedup über ein NonSerialized-HashSet, also kein
  Log-Spam
 - **Default-Flip für neue Installationen.** `PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels` startet bei neuen Configs jetzt auf `true`,
  damit ein Patch-bedingt neuer ChatType nicht stillschweigend gedroppt wird bevor der User entscheiden kann. Bestehende
  Configs behalten ihre Wahl, weil der Deserializer den Initializer überschreibt. Keine Migration, kein Schema-Bump
 Keine User-sichtbaren Funktions-Änderungen außer dem Default-Flip für neue Installationen. Settings, Themes, Tabs und
 das Privacy-Verhalten für Bestand bleiben unangetastet.

 **Hellion Chat 1.4.5 — UX und Robustheit**
 Sechster Sub-Patch der v1.4.x Polish-Sweep-Serie. Render-Fehler im Chat-Fenster werden jetzt sichtbar, der
 First-Run-Wizard hat eine explizite Cancel-Schaltfläche, der Eingabe-Verlauf bleibt nicht mehr über Plugin-Reloads
 hinweg liegen, und die Statusleiste klippt in schmalen Fenstern nicht mehr.
 - **Fehler-Benachrichtigung im Chat-Fenster.** Wenn ein Render-Fehler in `DrawChatLog` auftritt, zeigt das Plugin jetzt
  eine einmalige Warning-Notification mit Verweis aufs `/xllog`, statt das Fenster stillschweigend leer zu lassen. Der
  Stack-Trace selbst geht weiter via `Plugin.Log.Error` ins Logfile. De-Dup über Per-Session-Bool, damit ein
  wiederkehrender Fehler die Notification-Stack nicht pro Frame neu vollkippt
 - **First-Run-Wizard trennt Accept und Close.** `OnClose` setzt nicht mehr stillschweigend `FirstRunCompleted=true`,
  also lässt das X den Wizard schwebend zurück und er kommt beim nächsten Plugin-Reload wieder. Eine neue „Später —
  Defaults behalten"-Schaltfläche im Footer ist der explizite Weg, ohne Profil-Auswahl rauszukommen. Strings bilingual
  EN+DE plus Tooltip
 - **Eingabe-Verlauf wird beim Plugin-Reload geleert.** `InputHistoryService.Reset` hängt jetzt in `Plugin.DisposeAsync`
  neben den anderen Pure-Memory-Cleanups, damit der statische Zustand aus der vorigen Session den nächsten Load nicht
  mehr erbt
 - **Statusleiste klippt nicht mehr.** Der rechtsbündige Versions-Slot wird ausgeblendet wenn die Chat-Window-Breite
  abzüglich Versions-Text unter 200 px fällt — vorher überlappte er die vier linken Slots. Ab ausreichender Breite
  taucht der Slot wieder auf
 - **Intern:** `FontManager` fällt auf System-Font zurück wenn die eingebettete Hellion-Font-Resource fehlt
  (Broken-csproj-Pfad, nie ein Produktions-Build), plus expliziter Session-Only-Invariant-Kommentar für Auto-Tell-Tabs
  in `Plugin.cs:167-168` mit einem TempTabCounter-Init-Pin in der Build-Suite. Kein Schema-Bump, keine Migration

 changelog: |-
    **v1.4.5 — UX and Robustness (2026-05-12)**
    Sixth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Chat-log draw
    failures surface as a notification, the first-run wizard has an
    explicit "Later" option, the input history clears on plugin reload,
    and the status bar version slot stops clipping in narrow windows.
    - Chat window draw errors now show a one-shot notification instead
      of failing silently — stack trace stays in /xllog
    - First-run wizard: explicit "Later — keep defaults" button.
      Closing the X no longer silently accepts the defaults; the wizard
      reopens on the next plugin load if nothing was picked
    - InputHistoryService clears on plugin dispose so the previous
      session's typed commands don't bleed into the next load
    - Status bar hides the version slot when the chat window is too
      narrow to fit all five slots without overlap
    - Internal: explicit session-only Auto-Tell-Tab invariant in
      Plugin.cs plus a pinning test in the Build-Suite
    - Internal: FontManager falls back to the system font if the
      embedded Hellion font resource is missing — logs a Warning
    ---
    **v1.4.4 — Threading and IPC safety polish (2026-05-12)**
    Fifth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Threading
    assumptions are documented per-method, a hot-path lock falls
    away, and the privacy filter speaks up when an unknown ChatType
    shows up.
    - AutoTellTabs hot-path getter uses an Interlocked counter
      instead of taking the lock on every read
    - Honorific integration: per-method threading banners, plus
      Warning-level log on unsubscribe failure
    - AutoTranslate warmup thread marked IsBackground so plugin
      unload doesn't wait for it
    - PrivacyFilter logs once per unknown ChatType so a future
      patch's added channel doesn't drop off the radar
    - New installs persist unknown channels by default; existing
      configs keep their explicit choice

 ## Hellion Chat 1.4.5 — UX and Robustness (2026-05-12)
 Sixth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. User-visible robustness fixes plus two doc/test polish items from the
 audit backlog. No schema bump, no migration.
 - `ChatLogWindow.Draw` now surfaces a one-shot warning notification when the draw path throws. The stack trace still
  goes to `/xllog` via `Plugin.Log.Error`; the notification is suppressed for the rest of the plugin session so a
  recurring failure can't spam the notification stack frame-by-frame. Pattern-match to the existing `Plugin.cs:505-516`
  migration-blocker notification
 - `FirstRunWizard` splits accept from close. `OnClose` no longer silently sets `FirstRunCompleted`, so closing the X
  leaves the wizard pending and it reopens on the next plugin load. A new footer "Later — keep defaults" button is the
  explicit path to dismiss without picking a profile. Bilingual strings (EN + DE) plus a tooltip
 - `InputHistoryService.Reset` is wired into `Plugin.DisposeAsync` alongside the existing pure-memory cleanups. Static
  state used to survive a plugin reload — the next load now starts with an empty history
 - `FontManager.GetHellionFontBytes` becomes `TryGetHellionFontBytes` with a nullable return. On miss (broken csproj,
  hand-rolled dev build) the caller falls back to the system-font path that `UseHellionFont=false` already uses, plus a
  `Plugin.Log.Warning`. The whole UiBuilder no longer throws if the embedded font resource is absent
 - `Plugin.cs:167-168` gets a 4-line reasoning comment around the session-only `RemoveAll(IsTempTab)`: tells are usually
  privacy-filtered, resurrecting an empty crashed-session tab would trigger DB reconstruction on the next load.
  `TempTabCounter.InitFromList` mirrors the post-strip semantic in the Build-Suite with a pinning test
 - `StatusBar.cs` drops the version slot when the chat window's content width minus the version text is below 200 px. The
  right-aligned version used to clip into the four left-side slots in narrow windows

 ## Hellion Chat 1.4.4 — Threading and IPC Safety Polish (2026-05-12)
 Fifth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Threading assumptions are documented per-method, a hot-path lock
 falls away in `AutoTellTabsService`, IPC-cleanup failures become visible, and the privacy filter now speaks up when an
 unknown ChatType shows up.
 - `AutoTellTabsService.ActiveTempTabCount` switches from a lock-protected LINQ `Count` to an `Interlocked` counter kept
  in sync with `Config.Tabs` from inside the existing mutation paths. `Initialize()` seeds the counter from the
  persisted Tabs list, and `SaveConfig`'s snapshot-restore path calls a new `ResyncTempTabCounter()` so the mid-step
  `RemoveAll` doesn't leave the counter drifting. Pure-helper test mirror lives in the Build-Suite repo
 - `HonorificService` per-method threading banners replace the block comment at the bottom of the file. Each IPC callback
  (`TryInitialPull`, `OnTitleChanged`, `OnReady`, `OnDisposing`, `TryUnsubscribe`) and the `CurrentTitle` field carry a
  one-line `// Thread:` annotation so the framework-thread invariant is visible at the call site
 - `TryUnsubscribe` log-level upgraded from `Debug` to `Warning`. A silent unsubscribe failure leaks a live subscription
  across plugin reloads, which is exactly the kind of issue that should not be at Debug
 - `AutoTranslate.PreloadCache` thread now has `IsBackground = true` and a thread name. Without `IsBackground` the warmup
  blocks plugin unload (typically 100-300 ms). Pattern-match to `MessageManager` (F6.1) and `Plugin.RetentionSweep`
  (F9.3), both since v1.4.0
 - `Configuration.IsAllowedForStorage` adds a one-line `Plugin.Log.Warning` for the first occurrence of any ChatType that
  isn't in `PrivacyPersistChannels`. Dedup via a `NonSerialized` `HashSet<ChatType>`, so the warning fires once per
  runtime — not once per frame, not once per install. Failsafe routing through `PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels` is
  unchanged

 ## v1.4.5 — UX and Robustness (released 2026-05-12)
 Sixth sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. User-visible robustness polish plus two doc/test polish items from
 the audit backlog. Chat-log draw failures now surface as a one-shot notification instead of failing silently. The
 first-run wizard splits accept from close: `OnClose` no longer silently sets `FirstRunCompleted`, and a new footer
 "Later — keep defaults" button is the explicit path to dismiss without picking a profile. `InputHistoryService` clears
 on plugin dispose so the previous session's typed commands don't bleed into the next load. `FontManager` falls back to
 the system font path if the embedded Hellion font resource is missing (broken-csproj / dev-build only). The status bar
 hides the version slot when the chat window is too narrow to fit all five slots without overlap. Plus
 `Plugin.cs:167-168` gains an explicit session-only Auto-Tell-Tab invariant comment with a `TempTabCounter.InitFromList`
 pin in the Build-Suite. No schema bump, no migration.
 ## v1.4.4 — Threading and IPC Safety Polish (released 2026-05-12)
 Fifth sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. `AutoTellTabsService.ActiveTempTabCount` switches from a
 lock-protected LINQ `Count` to an `Interlocked` counter kept in sync from inside the existing mutation paths;
 `Initialize()` seeds from the persisted Tabs list and `SaveConfig`'s snapshot-restore path calls a new
 `ResyncTempTabCounter()` after the mid-step `RemoveAll`. `HonorificService` carries per-method threading banners and
 `TryUnsubscribe`'s log level moves from Debug to Warning. `AutoTranslate.PreloadCache` is marked `IsBackground = true`
 so plugin unload no longer waits for it. `Configuration.IsAllowedForStorage` logs once per unknown ChatType via a
 `NonSerialized` `HashSet`, and `PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels` default flips to `true` for new installs. No schema bump,
 no migration.

 ## Mittelfristig (v1.4.x+)
 - **Plugin-Integrations-Roadmap (Cycles 2-6)** - sechs Plugin- Integrationen geplant, Honorific (Cycle 1) ist live,
  danach folgen Context-Menu, NotificationMaster, RP-Status-Block, ExtraChat und XIVIM in eigenen Cycles. Spec und
  Cycle-Reihenfolge in [Plugin-Integrationen-Übersicht](../Hellion%20Chat%20Plugin-Integrationen.md).
 - **Ad-Block / Spam-Filter** — Hybrid-Konzept aus eigenem Light-Filter und optionaler `NoSoliciting`-IPC-Integration.
  Adressiert Werbe-Spam in öffentlichen Channels und Tells. Aus dem v1.1.0-Plan zurückgestellt.
 - **Receive-Suppressed-Tells-Toggle** — Auto-Tell-Tabs greift auch wenn ein Drittplugin (z.B. XIVMessenger) die
  /tell-Anzeige global suppressed. Gleicher Hook-Layer wie Ad-Block, deshalb gebündelt.
 - **Database-Viewer Inline-Search** — Volltext-Suche im DB-Viewer via SQLite FTS5. Aktuell gibt es nur Datums- und
  Channel-Filter.
 - **TempTell Persistence** — Pin-Toggle auf TempTell-Tabs damit ausgewählte Tells einen Relog überleben. Tester-Wunsch
  von Jingliu.
 - **FontManager Async-Refactor** — `LoadGameSymFontAsync` aus dem blockierenden Plugin-Constructor herausziehen.
  Cold-Start-Hitching beim ersten Plugin-Start beheben (Severity niedrig, Plugin ist funktional).
 - **Separate Opacity Active vs. Inactive** — zweiter Slider für inaktive Fenster-Deckkraft. Upstream lehnt das ab; wir
  können hier anders entscheiden.
 - **Failed-Tell-Notification** — sichtbare Nachricht bei /tell-Fail (offline, restricted instance, blacklisted,
  world-mismatch) statt stillem Failure.
 - **Per-Tab Sound-Notification** — Sound-Toggle und optional eigene .wav pro Tab, mit Mute-In-Combat-Option.
 ## Langfrist (v1.x+)
 ### Storage-Backends (drei Stufen Bestätigung)
 - MySQL/MariaDB-Backend für Multi-Device-Setups
 - PostgreSQL-Backend
 - AES-256-Verschlüsselung für sensible Channels mit lokalem Key
 ### Linux-spezifisch
 - WireGuard-Network-Detection als optionaler Filter-Trigger
 - libnotify-Integration für native Linux-Toasts
 - XDG-Compliance (komplex unter Wine)
 ### UX und Tab-Management
 - **Regex Tab Routing** — Plugin-Output-Spam in eigene Tabs, Tells bestimmter Personen automatisch sortieren. Klar
  abgegrenzt zum Ad-Block: Routing sortiert in Views, Block versteckt global.
 - **Auto-Detect Duties** — Tab-Switch beim Duty-Start via Condition-Flag.
 - **UX Bundle** — Vertical-Tab-Bar als Layout-Option, Shift+Mousewheel zum Tab-Header-Scrollen ohne Aktivierung,
  globaler Hotkey zum Schließen des aktiven Tabs.
 - **Configure Tab Title** — konfigurierbares Tab-Title-Format (Name / Name + abgekürzter World / voller Name / Custom),
  pro Tab überschreibbar.
 - **Name Display Options** — analog zu FFXIV-Vanilla (voller Name, Vorname abgekürzt, Initialen), per-Channel-Override
  möglich.
 - **Item & Flag Linking** — Outgoing: Shift-Klick auf Item/Flag sendet ins fokussierte Plugin-Input. Incoming:
  Item-Links und Map-Coords klickbar.
 - **Color Currently Selected Input Channel** — Channel-Selector-Button im Input-Bar mit Channel-Farbe einfärben.
 - **Plugin-Disclosure Pre-Send Filter** — konfigurierbare Wort-/Regex-Liste blockiert das Senden mit Pre-Send-Confirm.
  Schutz vor versehentlicher Plugin-Nennung in öffentlichen Channels.
 - **Chat Clear on Name Change** — bei Charakter-Namensänderung lokalen Verlauf migrieren oder löschen, Default Wipe für
  maximale Privacy.
 - **Hide Plugin Window on NG+ Screen** — Hide-Logik um zusätzliche Addon-Namen erweitern.
 - **Kick from Novice Network** — Mentor-Nische, Context-Menü-Eintrag mit Confirmation.
 - **Text-to-Speech für /tell** — eingehende Tells via TTS, optional pro Sender, mit Channel-Filter und Mute-In-Combat.
  Geringe Priorität.
 ### Distribution und Branding
 - Hand-gezeichnetes Hellion-Logo (aktuell Platzhalter aus dem Hellion-Online-Media-Brand-Repo)
 - GitHub Action für automatischen `repo.json`-Sync nach Tag-Push
 - Submission ans Dalamud-Main-Plugin-Repo (zusätzlich zum Custom-Repo)

 ### Linux-Specific
 - WireGuard network detection as an optional filter trigger
 - libnotify integration for native Linux toasts
 - XDG compliance (complex under Wine)
 ### UX and Tab Management
 - **Regex Tab Routing** — route plugin output spam into dedicated tabs, auto-sort tells from specific people. Clearly
  scoped against ad-block: routing sorts into views, blocking hides globally.
 - **Auto-Detect Duties** — tab switch on duty start via condition flag.
 - **UX Bundle** — vertical tab bar as a layout option, Shift+Mousewheel to scroll tab headers without activating them,
  global hotkey to close the active tab.
 - **Configure Tab Title** — configurable tab title format (name / name + abbreviated world / full name / custom),
  overridable per tab.
 - **Name Display Options** — analogous to FFXIV vanilla (full name, first name abbreviated, initials), per-channel
  override possible.
 - **Item & Flag Linking** — outgoing: Shift-click on an item/flag sends it to the focused plugin input. Incoming: item
  links and map coordinates are clickable.
 - **Color Currently Selected Input Channel** — tint the channel-selector button in the input bar with the current
  channel colour.
 - **Plugin-Disclosure Pre-Send Filter** — configurable word/regex list blocks sending with a pre-send confirmation.
  Protects against accidentally mentioning plugins in public channels.
 - **Chat Clear on Name Change** — on character name change, migrate or wipe local history; default is wipe for maximum
  privacy.
 - **Hide Plugin Window on NG+ Screen** — extend hide logic to cover additional addon names.
 - **Kick from Novice Network** — mentor niche; context menu entry with confirmation.
 - **Text-to-Speech for /tell** — incoming tells via TTS, optionally per sender, with channel filter and mute-in-combat.
  Low priority.
 ### Distribution and Branding
 - Hand-drawn Hellion logo (currently a placeholder from the Hellion Online Media brand repo)
 - GitHub Action for automatic `repo.json` sync after tag push
 - Submission to the Dalamud main plugin repository (in addition to the custom repo)

 ## Bug Verifications
 Carried over from the upstream issue tracker; not yet reproduced or verified in Hellion Chat 1.0.0. Will be tested
 against the current state when opportunity allows.
 - **Right-Click Whisper Error** in Field Ops / Special Instances (Eureka, Bozja, Occult Crescent, DRS) — upstream
  [#168](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues/168). Reply helper appears to swallow the `@World` suffix.
 - **FPS Drops with Plugin Active** — upstream [#145](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues/145). 10–20 % drop
  since upstream v1.29.19.0. v1.0.0 includes several fixes on the suspected paths; repro test against the current state
  is open.
 - **Add Blacklist from Plugin Window** — upstream [#140](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues/140). Right-click
  add-to-blacklist throws "Cannot locate character with that name"; works via vanilla chat.
 - **DB Viewer Column Sort** — State column sorts lexicographically instead of numerically (10 before 2). XIVIM
  [#82](https://github.com/NightmareXIV/XIVInstantMessenger/issues/82); repro in Hellion Chat open.

 ## Licence Boundary
 Hellion Chat is licensed under EUPL-1.2. Concept imports from AGPL-3.0 plugins (e.g. XIV Instant Messenger) are
 architectural inspiration only — no code was ported. Code imports from the upstream codebase are complete as of v1.4.x
 because Chat 2 is undergoing a fundamental rework and selective patches are no longer cleanly portable. Status and
 rationale in [`UPSTREAM_SYNC.md`](UPSTREAM_SYNC.md).

JonKazama-Hellion	f16d8f5c78	docs(plugin): clarify session-only Auto-Tell-Tab invariant (F2.3) Expands the one-liner above Plugin.cs:167-168 to spell out why the RemoveAll runs before AutoTellTabsService.Initialize: tells are typically privacy-filtered, so resurrecting a tab from a crashed session would trigger DB reconstruction on the next load. Also links to the TEST-MIRROR pin in the Build-Suite for future readers.	2026-05-12 14:11:02 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	eabb39ba86	fix(font): fall back to system font if embedded resource missing (F10.2) GetHellionFontBytes used to throw a FileNotFoundException when the embedded Hellion font resource was missing — only possible on a broken csproj or a hand-rolled dev build, never on a signed release, but the throw bubbled up and broke the entire UiBuilder font atlas. Replaced with a nullable TryGetHellionFontBytes that logs a warning and returns null on miss. The RegularFont delegate now falls back to the same system-font path that UseHellionFont=false already uses, so the plugin still loads and the issue surfaces in /xllog instead of as a crash.	2026-05-12 13:55:04 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	b489ac946c	fix(ux): reset input history on plugin dispose (F10.1) Static InputHistoryService entries used to survive a plugin reload because static field state doesn't get cleaned up on its own. The new Reset() method clears the list and is wired into Plugin.DisposeAsync alongside the existing pure-memory cleanups, so the next plugin load starts with an empty history instead of inheriting the previous session's typed commands.	2026-05-12 13:41:38 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	8d9151c74a	feat(ux): explicit cancel affordance on first-run wizard (F8.1+F8.2) Splits accept from close: OnClose no longer silently sets FirstRunCompleted, so the X-button leaves the wizard pending and it reopens on the next plugin load. A new footer 'Later — keep defaults' button is the explicit path to dismiss the wizard without picking a profile; defaults stay active and the choice persists. Strings are bilingual (EN + DE) with a tooltip explaining the behaviour. Card height now reserves room for the footer separator.	2026-05-12 13:31:53 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	4ecbaf2a4b	feat(ux): show notification on chat log draw failure (F7.1) Surfaces a per-session warning notification when DrawChatLog throws so the user knows something went wrong instead of staring at an empty window. Stack trace stays in /xllog as before. The one-shot guard prevents the notification stack from flooding frame-by-frame; it resets only on the next plugin reload.	2026-05-12 13:22:24 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	3e4601a0c8	chore: reflow drift from v1.4.4 closure Whitespace and line-reflow artefacts from auto-formatter passes plus a packages.lock.json indent normalisation. No content changes.	2026-05-12 13:08:59 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	61d5a33683	Merge fix/release-workflow-ref-guard into main Security / scan (push) Successful in 21s Details Build / Build (Release) (push) Successful in 28s Details Forge Announce / Post changelog to Hellion Forge (push) Successful in 7s Details Release / Build and attach release ZIP (push) Successful in 39s Details Guards release.yml against non-tag refs and fixes the silent ignore of body_path / tag_name that left every Gitea release since v1.4.1 with an empty body.	2026-05-12 11:50:32 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	7ed689587b	fix(ci): guard release.yml against non-tag refs and pass body inline The release-action@main reads GITHUB_REF directly and rejects anything that doesn't start with refs/tags/. The previous workflow tried to work around this by passing tag_name as an action input, but the action's action.yml never declared tag_name (or body_path) - both inputs were silently ignored, which is why every Gitea release since v1.4.1 was published with an empty body. Changes: - New "Validate tag ref" step fails fast with a clear message when the workflow is dispatched from a branch ref instead of a tag ref. - workflow_dispatch.inputs.tag dropped; recovery now means picking the tag from Gitea's Ref dropdown so GITHUB_REF lines up with refs/tags/. - release-body.md is re-emitted as a step output and passed via body: (the input the action actually reads) instead of body_path. - tag_name input removed from the action call - the action derives the tag from GITHUB_REF_NAME on its own.	2026-05-12 11:33:58 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	612bf8814f	fix(ci): match release + forge-announce parsing to current yaml format Security / scan (push) Successful in 21s Details Build / Build (Release) (push) Successful in 30s Details Both workflows looked for "Hellion Chat <version>" as the changelog subblock header, but the yaml convention is "v<version> — <subtitle>" (matches verify-changelog-sync.sh and the slim-rule grep). Plus the indent-strip was 2 spaces, but prettier writes the changelog block with 4-space indent. Both regressions silently failed every release-workflow run since the format change — likely why v1.4.3 was released manually. Sync header marker to "**v$version " and indent-strip to 4 spaces in both files.	2026-05-12 11:17:41 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	be17472cd5	chore(ci): migrate workflows to .gitea/workflows/ Security / scan (push) Successful in 19s Details Build / Build (Release) (push) Successful in 42s Details Gitea Actions reads exclusively from .gitea/workflows/, not from .github/workflows/. Since the cutover in v1.4.3 only the security workflow has been running — release and forge-announce silently sat in the wrong directory and never fired on any tag push. v1.4.3 must have been released manually. Move build, release and forge-announce yamls to .gitea/workflows/. The .github/forge-posts/ and .github/release-footer.md data files stay where they are; the workflows reference them by repo-relative path and that keeps working. For the v1.4.4 backfill: workflow_dispatch via the Gitea web UI with tag=v1.4.4 will run release.yml + forge-announce.yml against the tagged tree (which doesn't contain this migration). The dispatch yaml itself is read from the default branch, not the tag, so the missing yamls in the v1.4.4 tag tree don't matter.	2026-05-12 11:05:52 +02:00

JonKazama-Hellion	57da455700	fix: post-review polish on v1.4.4 - IsAllowedForStorage warning now only fires for ChatTypes the build doesn't recognise (Enum.IsDefined), not for opted-out known ones - Drop stale tests-location comment in HonorificService	2026-05-12 10:47:43 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	0982b68a4a	chore: bump version references in Plugin.cs and README Pre-push grep-verification found four stale v1.4.3 mentions outside the Slim-Rule history files: - Plugin.cs schema-gate error message referenced v1.4.3 by name in both the comment and the user-facing exception text. Schema stays at v16, but the message now points at the current release - README.md latest-release badge bumped to v1.4.4 - README.md version header bumped to v1.4.4 - README.md Project Status block rewritten for v1.4.4 with the threading and IPC safety items as the lead ROADMAP.md historical references to v1.4.3 are intentional (released-tag, foundation-reference) and stay.	2026-05-12 10:22:21 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	0fc88e480a	chore: bump version to 1.4.4 + changelog sync + forge-post Threading and IPC safety release. Items: F2.1 (Interlocked counter), F4.1/F4.2/F4.3 (HonorificService threading banners + warning log), F9.2 (AutoTranslate IsBackground), F3.1 (PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels default), F3.2 (unknown-ChatType warning). verify-changelog-sync: yaml/repo.json/forge-post in sync, embed-total ~2699/5500, 3/4 yaml subblocks. verify-version-consistency and verify-manifest-shape both green.	2026-05-12 10:11:31 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	7eb50e2c8d	feat(privacy): log warning on unknown ChatType in IsAllowedForStorage F3.2: a future FFXIV patch can introduce ChatTypes that aren't on any existing whitelist, and the filter currently routes them silently through the unknown-channel failsafe. Add a dedup HashSet (per runtime, NonSerialized) so the first hit per ChatType logs a Warning. The failsafe behaviour itself is unchanged — only visibility is new.	2026-05-12 09:54:05 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	58e754c169	feat(privacy): default PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels to true for new configs F3.1: future FFXIV patches can add new ChatTypes that aren't on any existing whitelist. With the field defaulted to false a new install would silently drop those channels until the user opts in. New configs now start with PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels=true via a constant in PrivacyDefaults. Existing configs keep their explicit choice — the deserializer overrides the initializer, so no migration and no schema bump.	2026-05-12 09:41:52 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	83064cd40b	fix(autotranslate): mark warmup thread as IsBackground F9.2: PreloadCache spawned a new Thread without IsBackground, which kept the plugin unload blocked until the warmup finished (typically 100-300 ms). Setting IsBackground=true plus a named thread matches the pattern already used in MessageManager (F6.1) and Plugin.RetentionSweep (F9.3) since v1.4.0.	2026-05-12 09:33:57 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	5ca3b73b7f	refactor(honorific): per-method threading banners + warn on unsubscribe-fail F4.1: replace the block threading comment with per-method banners that read like documentation at the call site. F4.2: TryUnsubscribe now logs Warning instead of Debug — a silent unsubscribe failure leaks a live subscription across plugin reloads. F4.3: CurrentTitle gets a one-line banner matching the same convention.	2026-05-12 09:19:52 +02:00

JonKazama-Hellion	11ad5db127	perf(autotell): replace lock-protected count with Interlocked counter F2.1: ActiveTempTabCount was doing a LINQ Count under _tempTabsLock on every read, including the hot-path HandleTell guard. Replace with an Interlocked counter kept in sync with Config.Tabs from inside the existing mutation paths (SpawnTempTab, DropOldestTempTab, OnLogout). Initialize from the persisted Tabs list on Initialize() to handle configs that already contain TempTabs from a prior session. Plugin.cs SaveConfig snapshot-restore mutates Config.Tabs outside of AutoTellTabsService; expose ResyncTempTabCounter() and call it after AddRange so the counter stays consistent. Plugin.cs:168 crash-recovery RemoveAll runs before Initialize() and is covered by the init snapshot.	2026-05-12 09:06:20 +02:00
JonKazama-Hellion	5c550e8587	fix(scripts): adapt verify-changelog-sync to vX.Y.Z subblock format yaml.changelog and repo.json.Changelog now use vX.Y.Z subblock headers instead of the older Hellion Chat X.Y.Z form. Updated the three regex patterns (yaml check, repo.json check, version counter) and re-enabled Block C in preflight.sh — the SKIP workaround is no longer needed.	2026-05-12 02:22:59 +02:00
