merge: v0.6.1 Pop-Out Discoverability & /tell Auto-Pop-Out

- Visible pop-out icon button in chat header toolbar (right-aligned)
- One-time hint banner introduces toolbar + right-click and the v0.6.1 default flip
- Settings → Chat → Auto-Tell-Tabs → "Open new /tell tabs directly as pop-out"
- PopOutInputEnabled hard-flipped to true via v11 → v12 migration
- Bugfix: pop-out windows of LRU-dropped or logout-stripped temp tabs are now properly torn down (no more ghost windows)
- Bugfix: dead zone below chat input bar when v0.6.0 hint banner was visible (also fixes Jin's report on the v0.6.0 in-pop-out banner)
- CI: fix release.yml YAML parse failure (heredoc footer extracted to .github/release-footer.md), add workflow_dispatch recovery trigger
- README + SUPPORT.md + repo.json + yaml: Hellion Forge Discord link

+This fork uses AI assistance per the [Dalamud Plugin AI Usage Policy](https://github.com/goatcorp/DalamudPluginsD17/)
+at the **Pair** level.
 
-The level varies by area and over time. Some commits are mostly hand-written
-with the AI used as a sounding board, others lean more on Claude for an API
-walkthrough or a code draft that the maintainer then reads, edits and
-integrates. The maintainer's commitment is to be able to explain why every
-piece of Hellion code is the way it is — not "I typed every character."
+A note up front: Hellion Chat is currently in a rebuild and adjustment
+phase, and there are no plans to submit it to the Dalamud team for review
+while it stays standalone. If the plugin stays out of the official repo I
+technically wouldn't need to disclose any of this, but I'd rather be
+upfront about how it's built.
+
+Hellion Chat is my entry point into game modding and plugin development. I
+have never written a plugin for a game before. I work alone, so I get help
+where I need it. That's not something I want to hide.
+
+## How I actually work
+
+I plan the architecture, decide what gets built, and own every design
+decision. For each change I:
+
+- Read the code Claude drafts before I integrate it
+- Test with my own tooling and in the running game
+- Read the Dalamud log output to verify behaviour
+- Run security and privacy audits on anything that touches user data
+
+One of the main reasons I use AI is consistency. I want the Hellion code to
+match the style of the upstream Chat 2 codebase and stay readable for
+anyone who opens the repo, not just for me. Claude helps me catch when I'm
+drifting from upstream conventions or writing something that only makes
+sense in my own head.
+
+The balance is shifting toward more hand-written work as I get more
+comfortable with Dalamud and plugin development in general.
+
+## What AI is used for
+
+- API explanations (Dalamud, ImGui, .NET specifics I haven't worked with before)
+- Code drafts that I read, edit, and integrate
+- Pattern suggestions and code review
+- Keeping the style aligned with the upstream Chat 2 codebase
+
+## What AI isn't used for
+
+- **Visual assets.** Logos, icons, banners, and screenshots are human-drawn
+  or taken from the running game.
+- **German translations.** Written by me as a native speaker.

+# Code of conduct
+
+HellionChat is a small hobby project. The contributor base is tiny and
+the moderation overhead I can afford is equally small, so this document
+is short and direct.
+
+## What I expect from contributors
+
+- Be respectful in issues, pull requests, discussions and any other
+  project space (Discord, email).
+- Keep feedback focused on the code, the design or the documentation.
+  Critique the work, not the person.
+- Assume good intent. People come from different backgrounds, time
+  zones and skill levels. A clarifying question is almost always a
+  better first move than an accusation.
+- Stay on topic. This project is about a Dalamud chat plugin. Off-topic
+  arguments belong elsewhere.
+- Respect that I maintain this in my spare time. Replies can take a
+  few days. Please do not escalate just because a thread is quiet.
+
+## What is not welcome
+
+- Personal attacks, slurs, doxxing, sustained disruption of threads.
+- Unsolicited private contact after I have asked someone to stop.
+- Sharing of private conversations without consent.
+- Any content that would put other contributors or end users at risk.
+
+## Scope
+
+This applies to every space the project owns or that I run on its
+behalf: the GitHub repository, GitHub Discussions, project-related
+Discord conversations and the maintainer email address listed in
+`SECURITY.md`.
+
+It also applies when someone is identifiably representing the project
+in another space, for example posting as a HellionChat maintainer in
+the Dalamud Discord.
+
+## Reporting
+
+If something here is being broken, contact me directly. Do not open a
+public issue.
+
+- Email: `kontakt@hellion-media.de`
+- Discord DM: `@j.j_kazama`
+
+Reports stay private. I will acknowledge within a few weekdays
+(European business hours) and tell you what I plan to do.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+I am the sole maintainer, so enforcement is a single-person process.
+Depending on what happened and how the person responds, I will pick
+the lightest measure that resolves the issue:
+
+1. Private note asking the behaviour to stop.
+2. Public correction in the affected thread.
+3. Edit or removal of the offending content.
+4. Temporary block from the repository or related spaces.
+5. Permanent block.
+
+Severe cases skip the lower steps. I will not negotiate over
+harassment or threats.
+
+## Acknowledgement
+
+This document is intentionally short and project-specific rather than
+a copy of a longer template. If you need a more formal reference, the
+[Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) is a
+widely adopted starting point and the spirit of this document is
+compatible with it.

+# Contributing to HellionChat
+
+Thanks for taking a look. HellionChat is a small, opinionated fork of
+[Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo) maintained by one
+person in spare time. This document explains what I am looking for,
+what I am not, and how to make a contribution land smoothly.
+
+## Before you open anything
+
+- Read the [README](README.md) so you understand the scope: this is a
+  privacy-focused, EUPL-1.2-licensed Dalamud plugin that intentionally
+  removes the upstream webinterface and ships smaller defaults.
+- Read [UPSTREAM_SYNC.md](UPSTREAM_SYNC.md). Cherry-picks from upstream
+  Chat 2 are selective and conscious; not everything that lands there
+  belongs here.
+- Read [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md). Anything security-sensitive goes
+  through a private advisory, never a public issue or PR.
+- Read the [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+## 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 `ChatTwo/Resources/HellionStrings.*.resx`.
+  Translations for the upstream Chat 2 strings (`Language.*.resx`) are
+  not handled here; they go through the upstream Chat 2 project.
+- Documentation improvements (README, comments, this file).
+- Performance fixes with a measurable before/after.
+- New features that fit the privacy-first scope and do not duplicate
+  what an existing Dalamud plugin already does well.
+
+## What I will probably decline
+
+- Re-introducing the webinterface or any remote-access feature. It was
+  removed in v0.2.0 on purpose. See README "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 upstream codebase.
+  They make selective upstream cherry-picks much harder and the
+  maintenance cost outweighs the benefit for a one-person project.
+- AI-generated code dropped in without disclosure or human review. See
+  [AI_DISCLOSURE.md](AI_DISCLOSURE.md) for how I handle AI assistance
+  on my side; I expect comparable transparency from contributors.
+
+If you are unsure whether an idea fits, open a feature-request issue
+first and ask before writing code. I would rather say "no" to a
+proposal than to a finished pull request.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Open an issue (bug or feature request) using the templates under
+   `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`. Skip this step only for trivial typos.
+2. Fork the repository and branch off `main`. Branch naming is
+   informal; something like `fix/auto-tell-history-empty` or
+   `feat/adblock-light-mode` is plenty.
+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 big 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 `ChatTwo/HellionChat.yaml` and
+   `repo.json` for the next version. I bump the version number myself
+   at release time, so you do not need to.
+6. Open the pull request against `main`. The PR template will ask
+   you to summarise the change, the testing you did and any
+   compatibility notes.
+
+## Build and test
+
+The project targets `net10.0-windows` against Dalamud SDK 15. To build
+locally you need:
+
+- .NET 10 SDK
+- A working Dalamud development environment with `DALAMUD_HOME` set
+  (XIVLauncher installed and launched once is the simplest path)
+- VS Code with the C# Dev Kit, Rider, or Visual Studio
+
+```
+dotnet restore
+dotnet build ChatTwo.sln -c Release
+dotnet test  ChatTwo.sln -c Release
+```
+
+The test project is `ChatTwo.Tests`. New behaviour should come with a
+test where the existing test infrastructure makes that practical
+(privacy filter, configuration migration, message store).
+
+For a smoke test in-game: build, copy the output into your Dalamud
+`devPlugins/HellionChat/` directory and load it through `/xlplugins`.
+
+## Continuous integration
+
+Every push and every pull request runs:
+
+- `build.yml` — `dotnet build` and `dotnet test`
+- `codeql.yml` — CodeQL security analysis
+
+A pull request will not be merged while either of these is failing.
+CodeQL findings on changed code need to be addressed; pre-existing
+findings on untouched code are tracked separately.
+
+## Licensing
+
+By submitting a pull request you confirm that:
+
+- Your contribution is your own work, or you have the right to
+  contribute it under the project licence.
+- You agree that your contribution will be released under the
+  [EUPL-1.2](LICENSE), the same licence as the rest of the project.
+
+There is no separate CLA.
+
+## Translations
+
+Hellion-specific strings live in `ChatTwo/Resources/HellionStrings.resx`
+(English source) and `HellionStrings.<lang>.resx` (per-language).
+Translations are accepted as direct pull requests against those files.
+
+The upstream Chat 2 strings in `ChatTwo/Resources/Language.*.resx` are
+**not** translated in this repository. They are owned by the upstream
+Chat 2 project and synced in via cherry-pick. Please contribute
+upstream-string translations to
+[Infiziert90/ChatTwo](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo) instead.
+
+## A note on response times
+
+I respond on weekdays during European business hours and I take
+weekends and FFXIV patch days off. A pull request that sits for a few
+days has not been ignored; I just have not gotten to it yet. Pinging
+once after a week is fine; please do not ping daily.

-  excluded from the release ZIP. The presence of this file at
-  $(ProjectDir)DalamudPackager.targets disables the SDK's default
-  target (it guards on `!Exists('$(PackagerTargetFile)')`) and lets
-  us call the packager task ourselves with the image fields wired in.
-
-  Apart from HandleImages + ImagesPath the property list mirrors the
-  SDK default verbatim so we don't lose any other manifest field as
-  the upstream SDK evolves.

 changelog: |-
-  **Hellion Chat 0.1.2 — About tab rebrand, DBViewer polish**
+  **Hellion Chat 0.6.1 — Pop-Out Discoverability & /tell Auto-Pop-Out**
 
-  - About tab now shows Hellion-specific maintainer, license, EU/US/JP
-    disclaimer and SQUARE ENIX disclaimer instead of the inherited
-    Chat 2 contact info; original ChatTwo translator credits stay
-    visible under a clearly labelled upstream tree node
-  - Localization clarified: Hellion-specific German strings are
-    maintained by the fork maintainer, the Crowdin contributor list
-    only covers the inherited upstream strings
-  - Cherry-picked DBViewer UI improvements from upstream Chat 2
-    (auto-scroll-reset on page change, tooltips on date reset,
-    folder export, page arrows, localized export-running messages)
-  - README rewritten in the Hellion project style with a tech-stack
-    table, architecture tree, database column list, install guide,
-    upstream-sync workflow notes and project-status checklist
+  - Pop-out button now visible in the chat header (no more hunting
+    through the right-click menu)
+  - One-time hint banner explains pop-out tabs and the right-click
+    shortcut
+  - New setting: open new /tell tabs directly as pop-out windows
+    (Settings → Chat → Auto-Tell-Tabs)
+  - Pop-out input is now enabled by default — closing a pop-out still
+    returns the tab to the sidebar
+  - Bugfix: dropping or logging out with an LRU/popped auto-tell tab
+    now also closes its pop-out window (no more ghost windows)
+  - Bugfix: dead zone below the chat input bar when the v0.6.0 pop-out
+    hint banner was visible (also fixed retroactively for the v0.6.0
+    banner inside pop-outs)
 
-  **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 0.1.0 — Initial fork release**
-
-  Privacy
-  - Channel whitelist filter in MessageStore.UpsertMessage with a
-    Privacy-First default (own conversations only)
-  - Per-channel retention with a 24-hour idempotent background sweep
-  - Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm and VACUUM
-  - Export to Markdown / JSON / CSV via Dalamud's file dialog
-
-  Onboarding
-  - First-run wizard with three profiles: Privacy-First / Casual /
-    Full History
-  - Configuration migration that seeds defaults on update
-  - One-shot migration from upstream Chat 2's pluginConfigs layout
-  - Migrate3 idempotency recovery for half-migrated databases
-
-  Look & feel
-  - Localized UI (English and German) with live language switching
-  - Industrial HUD theme with cyan-teal action accents, slate-violet
-    tabs, amber active highlights and a window-opacity slider

   Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+
+  **Hellion Chat 0.6.0 — UX Polish: Pop-Out Input + Colour Presets**
+
+  Two opt-in UX features land in the same release. Existing users see
+  no change unless they enable the new toggles.
+
+  Pop-out input bar:
+
+  - New global master switch in Settings → Window → Frame: "Enable input
+    in pop-outs". Default OFF so existing behaviour is preserved
+  - When enabled, every pop-out window grows a compact input bar at the
+    bottom (channel-coloured icon button left, text input right). The
+    auto-translate picker is intentionally not part of the compact bar
+    in v0.6.0 — typical pop-out workflows (FC greeter, club hostess)
+    rarely need it there
+  - Each pop-out keeps an independent text buffer and history cursor;
+    channel changes still apply globally because that is how the FFXIV
+    channel API works
+  - Up/Down navigates a shared input history singleton across the main
+    window and every open pop-out
+  - First pop-out opening after the upgrade shows a one-time hint
+    banner pointing users to the new toggle
+
+  Chat colour presets:
+
+  - Seven built-in presets above the per-channel colour list in
+    Settings → Appearance → Colours: ChatTwo Default, High-Contrast,
+    Pastell, Dark-Mode-Tuned, Hellion (brand-coloured, blue/orange
+    Arctic Cyan + Ember Glow palette from the Hellion Online Media
+    branding spec), plus two bonus mood presets — Night Blue (royal
+    blue, classic-cool) and Indigo Violet (royal violet, glitter-mystic)
+  - Apply is immediate and overwrites the channels covered by the
+    preset; battle-channel colours are left alone so combat tuning
+    stays intact
+
+  Configuration migrates from v10 to v11 with a diagnostic log entry;
+  no data is reset. Bilingual (English/German) for both new sections.
+
+  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+
+  **Hellion Chat 0.5.4 — WrapText hardening**
+
+  Replaces the unsafe pointer-arithmetic in ImGuiUtil.WrapText with
+  Span- and index-based control flow. Closes the persistent CodeQL
+  Critical alert "unvalidated local pointer arithmetic" that kept
+  re-firing on every shape of the previous fix.
+
+  Hardening:
+
+  - WrapText now allocates a buffer sized by Encoding.UTF8.GetMaxByteCount
+    via ArrayPool, validates the actual encoded length against that
+    ceiling, and threads the rest of the algorithm through int offsets
+    instead of raw byte pointers
+  - Pointer arithmetic only happens inside two small private helpers
+    (CalcWordWrap and DrawText) that take the pinned base pointer plus
+    int offsets sourced from the plugin's own logic, not from any
+    virtual-method return
+  - Added a 16 KiB upper bound on the buffer rent to prevent a
+    pathological input from triggering an unbounded ArrayPool allocation
+
+  No user-visible behaviour change. Word-wrap output is byte-identical
+  to v0.5.3.
+
+  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+
+  **Hellion Chat 0.5.3 — Pointer arithmetic hardening**
+
+  Closed CodeQL Critical alert in ImGuiUtil.WrapText by validating the
+  encoded byte buffer length via GetByteCount before pointer
+  arithmetic. Single-fix patch on top of v0.5.2.

-
-Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by [`sv`](https://github.com/sveltejs/cli).
-
-## Creating a project
-
-If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!
-
-```sh
-# create a new project in the current directory
-npx sv create
-
-# create a new project in my-app
-npx sv create my-app
-```
-
-## Developing
-
-Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server:
-
-```sh
-npm run dev
-
-# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
-npm run dev -- --open
-```
-
-## Building
-
-To create a production version of your app:
-
-```sh
-npm run build
-```
-
-You can preview the production build with `npm run preview`.
-
-> To deploy your app, you may need to install an [adapter](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/adapters) for your target environment.

+    <value>Hellion Chat soll Chat 2 nicht ersetzen. Chat 2 liefert ein vollständiges Chat-Erlebnis mit kompletter Historie, die für Filter, Suche und Replay zur Verfügung steht. Dieser Default ist für die meisten Nutzer der richtige. Dieser Fork wählt einen anderen Ansatz: einen kleineren Default-Footprint, mit zusätzlichen Stellschrauben für Nutzer, die weniger fremden Chat auf der Festplatte behalten möchten.</value>
+  </data>
+  <data name="About_Mission_P2" xml:space="preserve">
+    <value>Der Wunsch nach diesem engeren Default war persönlich. Nach zwei Jahren mit Chat 2 lag meine Datenbank bei über zwei Millionen Nachrichten, der Großteil davon /say, /shout und /yell von Fremden in Limsa. Genau diese Daten machen Chat 2's Voll-Historie nützlich, und die meisten Nutzer behalten sie gerne. Mein eigener Geschmack wollte einen kleineren Default. Also habe ich diesen Fork gebaut.</value>
+  </data>
+  <data name="About_Mission_P3" xml:space="preserve">
+    <value>Ich strebe keine große Zielgruppe an, und der Fork steht nicht in Konkurrenz zu Chat 2. Der Code liegt offen unter derselben EUPL-1.2-Lizenz wie das Original. Infi, Anna oder sonst jemand dürfen reinschauen, Ideen mitnehmen, Fragen stellen oder das Projekt einfach ignorieren. Alles drei ist für mich in Ordnung.</value>

+  </data>
+  <data name="About_Mission_P2" xml:space="preserve">
+    <value>The reason I wanted that narrower default was personal. After two years on Chat 2 my database had grown past two million messages, most of them /say, /shout and /yell from strangers in Limsa. That data is exactly what makes Chat 2's full-history view powerful and most users are happy to keep it. For my own taste I wanted a smaller default. So I built this fork.</value>
