+##                 (Hauptentwicklung auf Linux, Target = Dalamud/Windows)
+##   Überarbeitet: Mai 2026
+##
+##   Strategie:
+##     - Default:                Alles LF (Linux-Konvention)
+##     - Windows-Batch-Scripts:  CRLF (technische Pflicht!)
+##     - PowerShell:             CRLF (Sicherheit für Windows PS 5.1)
+##     - Binärdateien:           explizit markiert (gegen Korruption)
+##
+##   Hinweis:
+##     Moderne Visual-Studio- und MSBuild-Versionen kommen
+##     problemlos mit LF in .sln/.csproj klar.
+##     Falls jemals Probleme auftauchen: hier umstellen.

+**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.

+
+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

+  via `[ModuleInitializer]` geprüft. Ein Tippfehler bei einer künftigen URL-Rotation wirft jetzt
+  sofort beim Plugin-Load, statt still beim Klick zu scheitern.
+- **Cherry-Pick aus ChatTwo `f35b7d3`** — Memory-Leak in `Chat.SetChannel`: der native `Utf8String`
+  wird jetzt auch dann freigegeben, wenn der Linkshell-Check den Channel ablehnt (vorher gefangen im

+- **Cherry-Pick aus ChatTwo `f35b7d3`** — `Tab.Clone()` Deep-cloned jetzt `UsedChannel` und
+  `TellTarget`. Vorher Reference-Share-Bug: PopOut- und Temp-Tabs mutierten sich gegenseitig.
+- **Aktive-Tab-Underline pixel-perfect bei DPI-Scaling**: Die Underline-Pill skaliert jetzt mit
+  `ImGuiHelpers.GlobalScale` und rundet die DrawList-Koordinaten auf physische Pixel. Kein
+  Sub-Pixel-Blur mehr auf 125/150%-Setups.
+- **IconButton-Width-Fix**: der manuelle `width - 2 * CellPadding.X`-Subtract verlor den HUD-Scale
+  (Padding skaliert, der raw int nicht). Gemessene Breite läuft jetzt unverändert durch.
+- **Test-Isolation für MessageStore**: `Dalamud.Utility.Util`-Surface (IsWine, OpenLink) läuft jetzt
+  durch eine `IPlatformUtil`-Indirektion. MessageStores `IsWine`-Probe ist isoliert testbar in der
+  Build-Suite. Plus: HellionStyle-ChildBgAlpha als Pure-Helper extrahiert, Plugin.SaveConfig kopiert
+  nur Session-Tabs statt der ganzen Tab-Liste, SettingsOverview cached den DrawList einmal pro
+  Frame.
+- **Built-in-Theme-Roster**: Crystal Nocturne (Royal Sapphire + Electric Magenta auf Obsidian, von
+  CRYSTALLITE) ersetzt Moonlit Bloom. User mit Moonlit Bloom als aktivem Theme fallen beim ersten
+  Plugin-Load auf Hellion Arctic zurück.

+Achter Sub-Patch der v1.4.x Polish-Sweep-Serie. Erstes User-sichtbares Feature-Bundle seit v1.4.5 —
+angepinnte Tell-Tabs die Relog überleben, opt-in Honorific-Glow, plus eine konfigurierbare Sidebar.
+
+- **TempTell anpinnen**: Rechtsklick auf einen TempTell-Tab in der Sidebar → „Tab anpinnen".
+  Angepinnte Tabs überleben Plugin-Reload und Char-Logout, behalten ihre Konversations-Historie
+  (wird beim Rehydrate aus dem MessageStore nachgeladen) und bleiben an die gleiche /tell-Person
+  gebunden. Hard-Cap 5 angepinnte Tabs in einem separaten Pool — die normalen Auto-Tell-Tabs (15er
+  Cap) sind davon entkoppelt, Gesamt-Decke 20. Die Sidebar gruppiert angepinnte Tabs in einer
+  eigenen „Angepinnt"-Sektion mit eigenem Trenner.
+- **Honorific Glow-Outline**: rendert jetzt eine 8-Richtungs-DrawList-Outline wenn der
+  Honorific-Titel eine Glow-Farbe trägt. Opt-in via **Settings → Integrationen → Glow-Outline
+  rendern (Honorific)** (Default OFF). Gradient (Color3 / GradientColourSet / Wave / Pulse) wird
+  geparst und im DTO weitergereicht, rendert aktuell aber statisch als Primärfarbe — der volle
+  Gradient-Port (Animations-Algorithmus + Pride-Palette) kommt als eigener Cycle nach.
+- **Sidebar-Breite konfigurierbar**: in **Theme & Layout** ein Slider 44–160 px. Default bleibt 44
+  px (icon-only), aber breiter machen damit Sektion-Header wie „Aktive Tells (3)" oder „Angepinnt
+  (2)" nicht abgeschnitten werden.
+- **Settings-Save Channel-Fix**: ein Save mit aktivem Party- oder Linkshell-Tab konnte den
+  Chat-Input zurück auf `/tell <angepinnte Person>` springen lassen. `Configuration.UpdateFrom`
+  bewahrt jetzt den Runtime-`CurrentChannel` über den persistent-Tab-Merge hinweg, und `TabSwitched`
+  deep-cloned den Seed-Channel statt sich den `UsedChannel` mit dem vorigen Tab zu teilen.
+- **Internal**: `IPluginLogProxy`-Indirektion vor Dalamud's `IPluginLog` über alle ~91
+  `Plugin.Log`-Call-Sites. Damit läuft `MessageStore.Migrate0` voll-isoliert in xUnit (F12.1-Lücke
+  aus v1.4.6 geschlossen). Plus: TempTab-Counter als abgeleitete Property statt gecachtes
+  Interlocked-Feld — die neuen Pin/Unpin-Übergänge sind Cold-Path, kein Lock-Free-Vorteil mehr.
+  Migration v16 → v17 ist rein additiv (neues `Tab.IsPinned`-Bool, Default false).

+- **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.

+- **Theme-Crossfade.** Theme-Wechsel blenden jetzt sanft über rund 300 ms ineinander, statt hart umzuschalten. 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.
+- Drei P3-Items plus der Accessibility-Toggle, kein Schema-Bump, keine Migration. Eine kleine Polish-Welle vor den größeren Cycles.

+- **Ton pro Tab.** Jeder Chat-Tab kann einen Benachrichtigungston spielen, wenn eine Nachricht eintrifft, während ein anderer Tab aktiv ist. Zur Wahl stehen die 16 Spiel-Chat-Sounds oder drei mitgelieferte Hellion-Sounds, mit einem Vorhör-Knopf. Standardmäßig aus, hört auf den globalen Sound-Schalter.

Jeder Tab gliedert sich jetzt in Sektionen, die beim Reingehen eingeklappt sind. Controls innerhalb einer Sektion sind nach Typ gruppiert. Tabs-Tab im Per-Tab-Panel ebenfalls in Sub-Sektionen aufgeteilt.

+- **Pre-Send-Warnung für Plugin-Symbole** — beim Senden einer Nachricht mit Symbolen, die nur HellionChat-User sehen, kommt eine Warnung. Verhindert leere Kästchen bei anderen.
+- **Getrennte Fenster-Deckkraft** — Aktiv vs. Inaktiv. Aktiv wie bisher; Inaktiv über einen zweiten Slider unter Aussehen → Fenster-Stil.
+- **Lautstärke für eigene Notification-Sounds** — Slider in Allgemein → Sound, im Kanäle-Tab pro Tab nochmal angezeigt. Wirkt nur auf die drei mitgelieferten Custom-Sounds, die 16 Game-Sounds bleiben unverändert.
+- **Regex-Filter pro Tab gestrichen** — kurz dabei, dann verworfen: der eingebaute FFXIV-Blackword-Filter deckt das ab.
+- **Lokalisierung erweitert** — neue Section-Titel und v1.5.6-Controls in allen 24 Sprachen, maschinell übersetzt. Native-Review läuft weiter über den Hellion Forge Discord.

 # Contributing to HellionChat
 
-Thanks for taking a look. HellionChat is a one-person side project developed under Hellion Forge. It started as a fork
-of [Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo) and has since become a standalone plugin under its own namespace,
-IPC channels and source tree (standalone-cut completed in v1.0.0). Forking HellionChat itself is explicitly permitted
-under the EUPL-1.2.

 ## Before You Open Anything
 
-- Read the [README](README.md) so you understand the scope: a privacy-focused, EUPL-1.2-licensed Dalamud plugin that
-  intentionally removes the upstream webinterface and ships privacy-first defaults.
-- Read [`docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md`](docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md). Active cherry-picking from upstream Chat 2 has ended in the
-  v1.4.x cycle; HellionChat continues as an independent codebase. Existing upstream-derived code keeps its attribution.
-  New contributions stand on their own and do not need to be cherry-pick-compatible.
-- Read [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md). Anything security-sensitive goes through a private advisory, never a public issue
-  or PR.

 ## What I Will Accept
 
 - Bug fixes for behaviour documented in the README, the in-plugin settings or the changelog.
 - Translation contributions for Hellion-specific strings via direct pull requests against
-  `HellionChat/Resources/HellionStrings.*.resx`. Translations for upstream Chat 2 strings (`Language.*.resx`) are not
-  handled here; those go to the upstream Chat 2 project.

 ## What I Will Probably Decline
 
-- Re-introducing the webinterface or any remote-access feature. It was removed in v0.2.0 on purpose. See the README
-  section "Was gegenüber Chat 2 fehlt".
-- Features that bypass the privacy filter or weaken the default retention behaviour without an explicit, documented
-  opt-in.
-- Sweeping refactors that touch large parts of the codebase. The maintenance cost outweighs the benefit for a one-person
-  project. (This used to be doubly important because of the upstream cherry-pick path; that path is closed now, but the
-  rule still holds on its own merits.)
-- AI-generated code dropped in without disclosure or human review. See [`docs/AI_DISCLOSURE.md`](docs/AI_DISCLOSURE.md)
-  for how I handle AI assistance on my side; I expect comparable transparency from contributors.

 ## Workflow
 
-1. Open an issue (bug or feature request) using the templates under `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`. Skip this for trivial
-   typos.
-2. Fork the repository and branch off `main`. Branch naming is informal; something like `fix/auto-tell-history-empty` or
-   `feat/theme-export` is fine.
-3. Match the existing code style. The repository ships an `.editorconfig` that VS Code and Rider pick up automatically.
-4. Keep commits focused. Several small commits with clear messages are easier to review than one large one.
-   Squash-on-merge happens at the PR level if needed.

 5. If your change touches user-visible behaviour, update the README and/or the changelog block in
    `HellionChat/HellionChat.yaml` and `repo.json`. I bump the version number myself at release time.

-    **v1.4.3 — Faster plugin load + new repo (2026-05-08)**
+    **v1.5.6 — Settings Overhaul + Filter & Notification Polish (2026-05-23)**
 
-    Heavy startup work (migrations, hooks, windows) now runs async so
-    Dalamud's UI stays responsive during load. Load time is comparable
-    to v1.4.2 — this is the foundation for v1.4.4 optimisations.
+    - 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).
 
-    - Two-phase async load via IAsyncDalamudPlugin
-    - Schema-gate replaces the v9→v16 migration chain; old configs
-      require a v1.4.2 install first
-    - AutoTranslate cache loads on first use instead of every startup
-    - Custom font (Hellion-Exo2) appears with a brief pop after load
-    - Repo moved to gitea.hellion-forge.cloud — update your custom-repo URL
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-    **v1.4.2 — Smoother frames in the chat log**
+    **v1.5.5 — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features (2026-05-21)**
 
-    Per-frame allocations in the chat-log render path eliminated.
-    2–5% frame-time recovery in typical scenes, more on pop-out-heavy setups.
+    A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
+    banner image and custom notification sounds.
 
-    - Card-mode: theme/border invariants hoisted out of the per-message loop
-    - Auto-tell tab tint and icon cached per tab
-    - Status bar aggregation runs on ~1% of frames instead of every frame
+    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:
+
+    - 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.
+
+    No schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+
+    ---
+
+    **v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)**
+
+    Multi-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands
+    as a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.
+
+    User-visible:
+
+    - 24 selectable UI languages (was 2). Catalan, Czech, Danish,
+      Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian,
+      Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese
+      (BR + PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,
+      Ukrainian, Simplified + Traditional Chinese. Sorted by endonym,
+      "None" pinned first. Non-native locales are AI-assisted and
+      flagged for native-speaker review via the Forge Discord.
+    - Bundled Inter Light replaces Exo 2 (SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB). The
+      Inter font ships Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic and
+      Cyrillic Supplement coverage; NotoSansCjkRegular joins as a
+      third merge layer for Hangul and Simplified-Han glyphs the
+      FFXIV Japanese game font does not ship.
+    - First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms (v1.5.2 baseline that
+      held since v1.4.x) to a median of ~20 ms (5-reload sample
+      17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine). The bundled-font path silently
+      fell back to the FFXIV Axis font for the entire v1.5.x series
+      because of an early-return in the draw loop. The fix that
+      routes RegularFont through draw also lands the defer-pattern
+      win the v1.5.1 cycle was reaching for.
+    - ExtraGlyphRanges auto-activates on language change. Korean,
+      ChineseFull and the two new flags (LatinExtended, Greek) toggle
+      on without a manual visit to Fonts and Colours.
+    - New WarningText under the language dropdown notes FFXIV's
+      chat input only fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA character sets.
+      Other languages render in HellionChat but may garble when
+      typed into in-game chat.
+
+    Under the hood:
+
+    - Three-layer font stack: Inter Light primary, FFXIV
+      JapaneseFont merge 1 for kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular
+      merge 2 for everything else CJK.
+    - LanguageOverride enum gains ten locales plus three previously
+      commented out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian as `nb`). New
+      values append to the enum so existing config integers stay
+      stable across update.
+    - Crowdin gap closed: four post-sync ChatTwo keys backfilled
+      into 13 legacy locales with per-key AI markers.
+    - Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the
+      matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag for users already on a
+      non-default language. Settings.Apply auto-activates on
+      change going forward.
+    - Em-dash sweep across the EN source and 18 translations to the
+      house style. Russian and Ukrainian keep the typographic norm.
+
+    Migration v17 stays. UseHellionFont users transition from Exo 2
+    to Inter Light transparently on first reload.
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
