Bump to v0.1.2 with About-tab rebrand and Hellion-style README

Manifest moves to 0.1.2.0 so existing testers get an in-place
update offer once the matching GitHub release is published.

Changes since 0.1.1 are surface and packaging:

  - The inherited About tab now reflects the fork: Hellion Online
    Media as maintainer with hellion-media.de as the contact
    channel, EUPL-1.2 dual-copyright statement, FINAL FANTASY XIV
    SQUARE ENIX disclaimer, explicit acknowledgment of Chat 2 by
    Infi & Anna as the upstream foundation, and the original
    ChatTwo translator list relabelled as upstream Crowdin
    contributors so it isn't mistaken for Hellion translators.
  - Cherry-picked the upstream DBViewer UI improvements
    (auto-scroll-reset on page change, localized tooltips on the
    date reset, folder export, export-running notifications and
    the pagination arrows).
  - README rewritten in the Hellion project style: German prose,
    tech-stack table, architecture tree, database column list, a
    proper migration guide for users coming from Chat 2 (with
    Linux and Windows manual recovery commands), upstream-sync
    workflow notes for cherry-picks, project-status checklist
    separating bootstrap-done from phase-2-open work, and the
    Hellion Online Media footer.
  - repo.json regenerated to point at the v0.1.2 GitHub release
    asset URL.

Bundle changelog summarises the same so testers see the new
content in their plugin list before they pull the update.

+punchline: Chat 2 with privacy controls aligned to EU, US and JP rules
 description: |-
-  Hellion Chat is a privacy-focused, Linux-aware fork of Chat 2.
+  Hellion Chat is built on top of Chat 2 — every Chat 2 feature, command
+  and shortcut you already know works the same. The /chat2 command, tabs,
+  channel filters, RGB colours, emotes, screenshot mode, IPC integration
+  and the chat replacement window itself are all unchanged.
 
-  Same chat replacement you know from upstream, with extra controls
+  On top of that, Hellion Chat adds privacy and data-handling controls
-  for what actually gets stored:
+  designed to align with the modern data protection rules that apply
+  across the EU, the United States and Japan. By default only your own
+  conversations are stored; messages from strangers, NPCs and system
+  spam stay out of the database. Retention windows are configurable per
+  channel, history can be wiped retroactively, and stored data can be
+  exported on demand.
 
-  - Channel whitelist for database persistence (GDPR Art. 25)
+  Key additions on top of Chat 2:
-  - Privacy-First defaults: only your own conversations are kept
+
-  - Failsafe for unknown ChatTypes (default OFF)
+  - Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default
-  - Independent plugin state (own config + database directory)
+  - Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep
+  - Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm
+  - Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV
+  - First-run wizard with three preset profiles (Privacy-First, Casual,
+    Full History)
+  - Bilingual UI (English and German) with live language switching
+  - Independent plugin state — own config file and database directory,
+    so Hellion Chat does not share state with the upstream plugin
 
   Based on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna, licensed under EUPL-1.2.

+
+  **Hellion Chat 0.1.1 — Packaging and migration fixes**
+
+  - Plugin icon now ships inside the bundle, so the Hellion logo
+    renders locally in the Dalamud plugin list once installed (the
+    previous release relied only on the remote IconUrl)
+  - Plugin icon downsampled from 1024×1024 to 256×256 to match the
+    rendered size; loads faster and caches better
+  - Migration from upstream Chat 2 is more robust: each file move is
+    wrapped individually, a locked SQLite database no longer aborts
+    the rest of the migration, and a warning notification fires when
+    any file is held open (with a hint to disable Chat 2 and restart
+    the game)
+  - README ships a step-by-step migration guide (fresh install versus
+    coming from Chat 2) and a troubleshooting section with manual
+    recovery commands for Linux and Windows

 # Hellion Chat
 
-A GDPR-compliant, Linux-aware fork of [Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo)
+**Version 0.1.2** — DSGVO-bewusste Erweiterung von [Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo) für FINAL FANTASY XIV / Dalamud.
-for FINAL FANTASY XIV / Dalamud.
 
-Same chat replacement you know from upstream, with extra controls for what
+Hellion Chat baut auf Chat 2 auf und ergänzt es um Datenschutz- und Daten-Handling-Kontrollen, die mit den Datenschutz-Regeln in der EU, den USA und Japan im Einklang sind. Alle Chat-2-Funktionen, Befehle und Tastenkürzel funktionieren unverändert. Eigenständiger Plugin-Slot, eigene Konfiguration, eigene Datenbank.
-actually gets stored:
 
-- **Channel whitelist** for database persistence (GDPR Art. 25 — privacy by
+Privates Repository, EUPL-1.2-lizenziert. Distribution über Custom-Repo während der Bootstrap-Phase.
-  default). Out-of-the-box only your own conversations are kept: Tells, Party,
-  Free Company, Linkshells, Cross-World Linkshells, Alliance, ExtraChat. Public
-  chat from strangers (Say/Shout/Yell), Novice Network, NPC dialogue, system
-  spam and battle messages stay outside the database unless you opt them in.
-- **Per-channel retention** with a 24-hour idempotent background sweep. Tells
-  default to 365 days, own-conversation channels to 90, the global default to
-  30. Off until you switch it on — the plugin never deletes history without
-  your explicit consent.
-- **Retroactive cleanup** with a Ctrl+Shift confirm. Apply the current
-  whitelist to an existing 800-MB+ database, watch it shrink to MBs, all on a
-  background thread.
-- **Export** to Markdown, JSON or CSV (GDPR Art. 15 right of access). Filter
-  by channel, date range or sender substring; written via Dalamud's file
-  dialog without blocking the UI.
-- **First-run wizard** with three profiles (Privacy-First / Casual / Full
-  History) that maps to concrete configuration sets. Reopenable from the
-  Privacy tab any time.
-- **Independent plugin state.** Config and database live under
-  `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/`, completely separate from upstream Chat 2 — you
-  can run both side by side, or migrate from Chat 2 once and keep going.
-- **Migration recovery.** Heals databases left in a half-applied Migrate3
-  state (columns added, `user_version` never bumped) without needing the
-  backup file upstream creates.
-- **Localized UI (EN + DE).** All Hellion-specific surfaces follow Dalamud's
-  language override and switch live. Translations live in
-  `Resources/HellionStrings.<lang>.resx`.

-Hellion Chat is shipped via a Dalamud **custom repository** during the
+---
-bootstrap phase. To install:
 
-1. Open Dalamud settings (`/xlsettings`) → **Experimental**.
+## Features
-2. Add a new entry under **Custom Plugin Repositories**:
+
+### Privacy / Compliance
+
+- **Channel-Whitelist** für die Datenbank-Persistenz mit Privacy-First-Default. Out-of-the-box werden nur eigene Konversationen gespeichert (Tells, Gruppe, FC, Linkshells, Cross-World-Linkshells, Allianz, ExtraChat). Öffentlicher Chat, NPC-Dialoge, System-Spam und Battle-Logs werden auf der Storage-Ebene verworfen.
+- **Aufbewahrungsdauer pro Kanal** mit täglicher Background-Bereinigung. Tells 365 Tage, eigene Konversations-Kanäle 90 Tage, globaler Default 30 Tage. Standard ist AUS, das Plugin löscht ohne ausdrückliche Zustimmung nichts.
+- **Retroaktive Säuberung** mit Vorschau und Strg+Umschalt-Bestätigung. Wendet die aktuelle Whitelist auf eine bestehende Datenbank an, läuft im Hintergrund, ruft danach VACUUM auf.
+- **Export** nach Markdown, JSON oder CSV via Dalamud-Datei-Dialog (DSGVO Art. 15 Auskunftsrecht). Filter nach Kanal, Datums-Bereich oder Sender-Substring.
+
+### Onboarding
+
+- **First-Run-Wizard** mit drei Profilen (Privacy-First, Locker, Volle Historie) und DSGVO-Hinweis bei der "Volle Historie"-Option.
+- **Konfigurations-Migration v6→v7** seedet Privacy-Defaults bei Bestand-Usern und zeigt eine Benachrichtigung beim Ersten Plugin-Start nach Update.
+- **Layout-Migration aus Chat 2** verschiebt Konfiguration und Datenbank in `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/` ohne Datenverlust. Robust gegen blockierte Dateien (Warnung beim User wenn Chat 2 noch geladen ist).
+- **Migrate3-Recovery** heilt halb-migrierte Datenbanken aus alten Chat-2-Installationen.
+
+### Look & Feel
+
+- **Bilinguale UI** (Englisch + Deutsch) mit Live-Sprachwechsel. Hellion-spezifische Strings in `HellionStrings.<lang>.resx`.
+- **Hellion-HUD-Theme** mit Cyan-Teal-Akzenten, Slate-Violet-Tabs, Bernstein-Highlights für aktive Zustände.
+- **Fenster-Deckkraft-Slider** für Kampf-freundliche Transparenz.
+- **Mitgelieferte Hellion-Schrift** (Exo 2, OFL-1.1) als optionaler Default statt System-Font.
+- **Hellion-Logo** im Plugin-Bundle und in der Dalamud-Plugin-Liste.
+
+### Stability
+
+- BetterTTV-Cache-Crash-Fix (Null-Key-Handling).
+- Font-Atlas-Build-Fallback bei nicht-installierten System-Fonts.
+- Defensive Wrapping aller Migrations-Operationen.
+
+---

+
+### Regeln
+
+- **Code-Namespace bleibt `ChatTwo.*`** — Cherry-Picks von Upstream-Bugfixes bleiben damit konfliktarm.
+- **AssemblyName ist `HellionChat`** — eigener Slot in `pluginConfigs/`, eigene Datei-Manifest, kein Shared State mit Chat 2.
+- **Hellion-eigene Strings nur in `HellionStrings.*.resx`** — die Upstream-`Language.*.resx` bleiben unverändert für sauberen Crowdin-Sync.
+- **Kein Direkt-Eingriff in `Plugin.Interface.UiBuilder.FontAtlas`** außerhalb von `FontManager` — Font-Fallback und Hellion-Font laufen zentral.
+
+---
+
+## Datenbank
+
+SQLite, Schema von Upstream Chat 2 übernommen (Migration-Stand v3). Hellion-Erweiterungen sind in `Configuration` als Felder, nicht im DB-Schema:
+

+
+## Installation (Tester)
+
+Hellion Chat wird während der Bootstrap-Phase über ein Dalamud-**Custom-Repository** verteilt.
+
+### Frische Installation (kein Chat 2 vorher)
+
+1. Dalamud-Settings (`/xlsettings`) → **Experimental** öffnen.
+2. Neuen Eintrag unter **Custom Plugin Repositories** anlegen:
    ```
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/main/repo.json
    ```
-3. Click **Save**, then back in `/xlplugins` hit **All Plugins** and refresh.
+3. **Save**, dann in `/xlplugins` → **All Plugins** → Refresh.
-4. **Hellion Chat** now appears in the list — install it from there.
+4. **Hellion Chat** taucht in der Liste auf — installieren.
-5. If you previously had **Chat 2** installed, disable it first. The two
-   share their database and config dir until Hellion Chat's first launch
-   migrates everything into `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/`.
 
-Updates land in the same plugin list once the maintainer pushes a new
+### Migration aus Chat 2 (mit bestehendem Verlauf)
-`v0.1.x` tag.
 
-## Why a fork
+Chat 2 und Hellion Chat teilen sich die Datenbank-Datei, bis Hellion Chat sie beim ersten Start in den eigenen Pfad verschiebt. Die Reihenfolge ist wichtig:
 
-The upstream maintainer has left filtering-related issues open since 2024
+1. **Chat 2 deaktivieren** in `/xlplugins` (nicht deinstallieren, nur deaktivieren).
-([#84](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues/84),
+2. **FFXIV komplett schließen**, damit SQLite die Datei-Sperre freigibt. Plugin-Reload allein reicht nicht.
-[#173](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues/173),
+3. Spiel neu starten.
-[#174](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues/174)). The original
+4. Custom-Repo wie oben hinzufügen.
-design treats the database as an unlimited searchable archive of *everything*
+5. Hellion Chat installieren. Beim ersten Start wandert die Konfigurations-Datei und das gesamte Datenbank-Verzeichnis in das HellionChat-Layout.
-the chat window sees, which is fine in the US-/JP-shaped privacy mindset but
+6. **Verifizieren** unter Einstellungen → Datenschutz → Vorschau aktualisieren, dass die Nachrichten-Anzahl plausibel ist.
-hard to reconcile with EU GDPR data minimization rules when the archive
-contains messages from third parties.
 
-Forking under EUPL-1.2 is explicitly permitted, the upstream stays
+### Troubleshooting
-authoritative for the chat-replacement engine, and we cherry-pick relevant
-upstream bugfixes from `Infiziert90/ChatTwo` periodically.
 
-## Build
+**Hellion Chat zeigt 0 Nachrichten, obwohl Chat 2 vorher aktiv war:**
+
+Migration wurde durch eine gesperrte Datei blockiert. Spiel schließen und manuell verschieben:
+
+Linux / XIVLauncher Core:
+```bash
+mv ~/.xlcore/pluginConfigs/ChatTwo/chat-sqlite.db \
+   ~/.xlcore/pluginConfigs/HellionChat/chat-sqlite.db
+[ -d ~/.xlcore/pluginConfigs/ChatTwo/EmoteCacheV1 ] && \
+  mv ~/.xlcore/pluginConfigs/ChatTwo/EmoteCacheV1 \
+     ~/.xlcore/pluginConfigs/HellionChat/
+```
+
+Windows / XIVLauncher:
+```powershell
+Move-Item "$env:AppData\XIVLauncher\pluginConfigs\ChatTwo\chat-sqlite.db" `
+          "$env:AppData\XIVLauncher\pluginConfigs\HellionChat\chat-sqlite.db" -Force
+```
+
+Spiel starten, Hellion Chat aktivieren, Verlauf ist zurück.
+
+### Updates
+
+Updates erscheinen automatisch in der Plugin-Liste, sobald ein neuer `v0.1.x`-Tag mit GitHub-Release publiziert ist. Keine Neu-Installation nötig.
+
+---
+
+## Entwicklung
+
+### Voraussetzungen
+
+- .NET 10 SDK (`10.0.104+`) und .NET 9 SDK (`9.0.115+` parallel)
+- Dalamud-Hooks im XIVLauncher-`addon`-Verzeichnis
+- VS Code mit C# Dev Kit (oder Rider, JetBrains)
+- Linux: WireGuard-Mount für Test-Spiel-Setup falls Remote-DB
+
+### Setup
 
 ```bash
-# Linux with XIVLauncher Core
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat.git
+cd HellionChat
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo.git
+
+# Linux: DALAMUD_HOME exportieren falls Hooks nicht im Standardpfad
 cp .env.example .env
-# adjust DALAMUD_HOME if your hooks live somewhere else
 set -a; source .env; set +a
+
 dotnet build ChatTwo/ChatTwo.csproj
 ```
 
-The output assembly is `ChatTwo/bin/Debug/HellionChat.dll`. Add the parent
+Output: `ChatTwo/bin/Debug/HellionChat.dll`. Den Ordner `ChatTwo/bin/Debug` in Dalamud unter Experimental → Dev Plugin Locations eintragen.
-directory as a Dev Plugin Location in Dalamud's experimental settings.
 
-## Branding assets
+### Build-Konfigurationen
 
-`ChatTwo/images/icon.png` is the upstream Chat 2 icon and stays in place

+    "Changelog": "**Hellion Chat 0.1.2 — About tab rebrand, DBViewer polish**\n\n- About tab now shows Hellion-specific maintainer, license, EU/US/JP\n  disclaimer and SQUARE ENIX disclaimer instead of the inherited\n  Chat 2 contact info; original ChatTwo translator credits stay\n  visible under a clearly labelled upstream tree node\n- Localization clarified: Hellion-specific German strings are\n  maintained by the fork maintainer, the Crowdin contributor list\n  only covers the inherited upstream strings\n- Cherry-picked DBViewer UI improvements from upstream Chat 2\n  (auto-scroll-reset on page change, tooltips on date reset,\n  folder export, page arrows, localized export-running messages)\n- README rewritten in the Hellion project style with a tech-stack\n  table, architecture tree, database column list, install guide,\n  upstream-sync workflow notes and project-status checklist\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.1 — Packaging and migration fixes**\n\n- Plugin icon now ships inside the bundle, so the Hellion logo\n  renders locally in the Dalamud plugin list once installed (the\n  previous release relied only on the remote IconUrl)\n- Plugin icon downsampled from 1024×1024 to 256×256 to match the\n  rendered size; loads faster and caches better\n- Migration from upstream Chat 2 is more robust: each file move is\n  wrapped individually, a locked SQLite database no longer aborts\n  the rest of the migration, and a warning notification fires when\n  any file is held open (with a hint to disable Chat 2 and restart\n  the game)\n- README ships a step-by-step migration guide (fresh install versus\n  coming from Chat 2) and a troubleshooting section with manual\n  recovery commands for Linux and Windows\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.0 — Initial fork release**\n\nPrivacy\n- Channel whitelist filter in MessageStore.UpsertMessage with a\n  Privacy-First default (own conversations only)\n- Per-channel retention with a 24-hour idempotent background sweep\n- Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm and VACUUM\n- Export to Markdown / JSON / CSV via Dalamud's file dialog\n\nOnboarding\n- First-run wizard with three profiles: Privacy-First / Casual /\n  Full History\n- Configuration migration that seeds defaults on update\n- One-shot migration from upstream Chat 2's pluginConfigs layout\n- Migrate3 idempotency recovery for half-migrated databases\n\nLook & feel\n- Localized UI (English and German) with live language switching\n- Industrial HUD theme with cyan-teal action accents, slate-violet\n  tabs, amber active highlights and a window-opacity slider\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).",
