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

+## How I actually work
+
+I plan the architecture, decide what gets built, and own every design

+
+- 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

+# 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.

-  **Hellion Chat 0.3.1 — Upstream emote regression fix**

-  Cherry-picks Infi's upstream commit ff899ff "Fix a regression
+  - Pop-out button now visible in the chat header (no more hunting
-  from API 15 updates" which changes the BetterTTV emote DTOs
+    through the right-click menu)
-  (Emote and Top100) from public fields to public properties.
+  - One-time hint banner explains pop-out tabs and the right-click
-  System.Text.Json under the API 15 toolchain only honours the
+    shortcut
-  [JsonPropertyName] attribute on properties, so the previous
+  - New setting: open new /tell tabs directly as pop-out windows
-  field-based version deserialised every fetched emote into empty
+    (Settings → Chat → Auto-Tell-Tabs)
-  default values. Result: BetterTTV emotes were silently broken
+  - Pop-out input is now enabled by default — closing a pop-out still
-  on fresh installs. The fix is six lines and applies cleanly on
+    returns the tab to the sidebar
-  top of our defensive null-check from earlier; the EmoteCache
+  - Bugfix: dropping or logging out with an LRU/popped auto-tell tab
-  path-traversal hardening from 0.3.0 stays as it is.
+    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)
 
-  Authorship of the fix is preserved with git cherry-pick -x, so

-  Infi shows up as the author on the commit. Thanks to him for
-  catching it in the upstream codebase.
-
-  **Hellion Chat 0.3.0 — Audit hardening, brand sweep and rebrand of slash commands**
-
-  This release closes the remaining audit follow-ups from the
-  0.2.0 cleanup and finishes turning Hellion Chat into a properly
-  branded fork rather than a Chat 2 with a different name.
-
-  Slash commands have been renamed across the board so they no
-  longer collide with the upstream plugin and tell you which
-  plugin owns them at a glance:
-
-  - /chat2          becomes /hellion
-  - /chat2Viewer    becomes /hellionView
-  - /clearlog2      becomes /clearhellion
-  - /chat2Debugger  becomes /hellionDebugger (internal)
-  - /chat2SeString  becomes /hellionSeString (internal)
-
-  This is a breaking change for anyone with macros bound to the
-  old command names. The upstream Chat 2 commands keep working
-  if you also have that plugin installed.
-
-  Privacy and storage hardening based on the post-0.2.0 audit:
-
-  - Privacy filter master switch now states explicitly that the
-    filter only governs storage, not the live chat log
-  - Emote cache refuses to write outside its own directory if a
-    third-party API ever returns a path that escapes
-  - Retention sweep is serialised so the 24h auto-sweep and the
-    manual button cannot launch in parallel and race for the
-    SQLite connection
-  - DbViewer paging uses an int constant and the matching SQL
-    parameter name (the upstream code passed a float and a name
-    without the parameter prefix; both worked in practice but
-    were inconsistent)
-
-  Visual identity now matches the Hellion Online Media website:
-
-  - Theme palette switched to Arctic Cyan plus Ember Orange,
-    matching the website's BRANDING.md tokens
-  - Active tabs and window title bars use a brand-color-dark teal
-    variation as identity colour, replacing the previous slate
-    violet that did not appear in the brand
-  - Resize grips and scrollbar grabs picked up Ember Orange
-    instead of industrial amber on hover and active states
-
-  About tab rewritten and properly localised:
-
-  - New "Why this fork exists" block sets out the mission in
-    neutral terms, framing Chat 2's full-history default as the
-    right one for most users while explaining the narrower
-    default footprint this fork chose
-  - All Hellion-specific About copy now lives in HellionStrings
-    in EN and DE, so German users see the Hellion sections in
-    German rather than the upstream English fallback
-  - Webinterface absence is described as a focus mismatch
-    (different use case, substantial rebuild) rather than as
-    a security issue with the upstream code
-  - Translator list at the bottom of the About tab is reachable
-    again on smaller settings windows
 
   Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
 
-  **Hellion Chat 0.2.0 — Webinterface removed**
+  **Hellion Chat 0.6.0 — UX Polish: Pop-Out Input + Colour Presets**
 
-  The upstream webinterface has been removed in its entirety. It
+  Two opt-in UX features land in the same release. Existing users see
-  serves a different use case from the smaller default footprint
+  no change unless they enable the new toggles.
-  this fork is built around, namely remote access to chat from a
-  second device. Aligning it with the data minimisation defaults
-  Hellion Chat ships with would have meant a substantial rebuild.
-  Removing it was the cleaner path for this particular fork.
 
-  What changed in this release:
+  Pop-out input bar:
 
-  - Settings tab "Webinterface" is gone, the corresponding
+  - New global master switch in Settings → Window → Frame: "Enable input
-    Configuration fields (WebinterfaceEnabled / AutoStart / Password /
+    in pop-outs". Default OFF so existing behaviour is preserved
-    Port / AuthStore / MaxLinesToSend) are dropped and stale entries
+  - When enabled, every pop-out window grows a compact input bar at the
-    fall out of the JSON on the next save automatically
+    bottom (channel-coloured icon button left, text input right). The
-  - The whole ChatTwo/Http tree, the bundled Svelte frontend in
+    auto-translate picker is intentionally not part of the compact bar
-    websiteBuild.zip and the WebinterfaceUtil helper are deleted
+    in v0.6.0 — typical pop-out workflows (FC greeter, club hostess)
-  - Watson.Lite (the HTTP server) and Newtonsoft.Json (only used by
+    rarely need it there
-    the webinterface JSON wire format) are removed from the
+  - Each pop-out keeps an independent text buffer and history cursor;
-    package references
+    channel changes still apply globally because that is how the FFXIV
-  - DbViewer's "Chat2 JSON Export" button is dropped because it
+    channel API works
-    serialised the database into the webinterface message protocol;
+  - Up/Down navigates a shared input history singleton across the main
-    the Privacy tab's MessageExporter (Markdown, JSON, CSV with
+    window and every open pop-out
-    channel and date filters) covers the same ground without the
+  - First pop-out opening after the upgrade shows a one-time hint
-    proprietary shape
+    banner pointing users to the new toggle
-  - About tab notes the absence so users coming from Chat 2 do not
-    look for it
-  - Configuration version bumps from 7 to 8 with a one-shot
-    notification (EN + DE)
 
-  No changes to the privacy filter, retention sweep, first-run wizard
+  Chat colour presets:
-  or export pipeline. Existing chat history is preserved.
+
+  - 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 0.1.2 — About tab rebrand, DBViewer polish**
+  **Hellion Chat 0.5.4 — WrapText hardening**
 
-  - About tab now shows Hellion-specific maintainer, license, EU/US/JP
+  Replaces the unsafe pointer-arithmetic in ImGuiUtil.WrapText with
-    disclaimer and SQUARE ENIX disclaimer instead of the inherited
+  Span- and index-based control flow. Closes the persistent CodeQL
-    Chat 2 contact info; original ChatTwo translator credits stay
+  Critical alert "unvalidated local pointer arithmetic" that kept
-    visible under a clearly labelled upstream tree node
+  re-firing on every shape of the previous fix.
-  - 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
 
-  **Hellion Chat 0.1.1 — Packaging and migration fixes**
+  Hardening:
 
-  - Plugin icon now ships inside the bundle, so the Hellion logo
+  - WrapText now allocates a buffer sized by Encoding.UTF8.GetMaxByteCount
-    renders locally in the Dalamud plugin list once installed (the
+    via ArrayPool, validates the actual encoded length against that
-    previous release relied only on the remote IconUrl)
+    ceiling, and threads the rest of the algorithm through int offsets
-  - Plugin icon downsampled from 1024×1024 to 256×256 to match the
+    instead of raw byte pointers
-    rendered size; loads faster and caches better
+  - Pointer arithmetic only happens inside two small private helpers
-  - Migration from upstream Chat 2 is more robust: each file move is
+    (CalcWordWrap and DrawText) that take the pinned base pointer plus
-    wrapped individually, a locked SQLite database no longer aborts
+    int offsets sourced from the plugin's own logic, not from any
-    the rest of the migration, and a warning notification fires when
+    virtual-method return
-    any file is held open (with a hint to disable Chat 2 and restart
+  - Added a 16 KiB upper bound on the buffer rent to prevent a
-    the game)
+    pathological input from triggering an unbounded ArrayPool allocation
-  - 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**
+  No user-visible behaviour change. Word-wrap output is byte-identical
-
+  to v0.5.3.
-  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 0.5.3 — 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.

-                      EUPL © the European Union 2007, 2016
-
-This European Union Public Licence (the ‘EUPL’) applies to the Work (as defined
-below) which is provided under the terms of this Licence. Any use of the Work,
-other than as authorised under this Licence is prohibited (to the extent such
-use is covered by a right of the copyright holder of the Work).
-
-The Work is provided under the terms of this Licence when the Licensor (as
-defined below) has placed the following notice immediately following the
-copyright notice for the Work:
-
-        Licensed under the EUPL
-
-or has expressed by any other means his willingness to license under the EUPL.
-
-1. Definitions
-
-In this Licence, the following terms have the following meaning:
-
-- ‘The Licence’: this Licence.
-
-- ‘The Original Work’: the work or software distributed or communicated by the
-  Licensor under this Licence, available as Source Code and also as Executable
-  Code as the case may be.
-
-- ‘Derivative Works’: the works or software that could be created by the
-  Licensee, based upon the Original Work or modifications thereof. This Licence
-  does not define the extent of modification or dependence on the Original Work
-  required in order to classify a work as a Derivative Work; this extent is
-  determined by copyright law applicable in the country mentioned in Article 15.
-
-- ‘The Work’: the Original Work or its Derivative Works.
-
-- ‘The Source Code’: the human-readable form of the Work which is the most
-  convenient for people to study and modify.

-The Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
-sublicensable licence to do the following, for the duration of copyright vested
-in the Original Work:
-
-- use the Work in any circumstance and for all usage,
-- reproduce the Work,

-  the Work or copies thereof to the public and perform publicly, as the case may
-  be, the Work,
-- distribute the Work or copies thereof,
-- lend and rent the Work or copies thereof,
-- sublicense rights in the Work or copies thereof.
-
-Those rights can be exercised on any media, supports and formats, whether now
-known or later invented, as far as the applicable law permits so.
-
-In the countries where moral rights apply, the Licensor waives his right to
-exercise his moral right to the extent allowed by law in order to make effective
-the licence of the economic rights here above listed.
-
-The Licensor grants to the Licensee royalty-free, non-exclusive usage rights to
-any patents held by the Licensor, to the extent necessary to make use of the
-rights granted on the Work under this Licence.
-
-3. Communication of the Source Code
-
-The Licensor may provide the Work either in its Source Code form, or as

-provides in addition a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Work
-along with each copy of the Work that the Licensor distributes or indicates, in
-a notice following the copyright notice attached to the Work, a repository where
-the Source Code is easily and freely accessible for as long as the Licensor
-continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
-
-4. Limitations on copyright
-
-Nothing in this Licence is intended to deprive the Licensee of the benefits from
-any exception or limitation to the exclusive rights of the rights owners in the
-Work, of the exhaustion of those rights or of other applicable limitations
-thereto.
-
-5. Obligations of the Licensee
-
-The grant of the rights mentioned above is subject to some restrictions and
-obligations imposed on the Licensee. Those obligations are the following:
-
-Attribution right: The Licensee shall keep intact all copyright, patent or
-trademarks notices and all notices that refer to the Licence and to the
-disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
-copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
-communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
-notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
-
-Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
-Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
-done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
-unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the

-(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
-the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
-
-Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
-Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under
-a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done under the
-terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
-Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence.
-Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
-his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
-Licence shall prevail.
-
-Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work,
-the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
-a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
-as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
-
-Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
-trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
-reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
-reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
-
-6. Chain of Authorship
-
-The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
-hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
-power and authority to grant the Licence.
-
-Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
-to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
-power and authority to grant the Licence.
-
-Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
-Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
-terms of this Licence.
-
-7. Disclaimer of Warranty
-
-The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
-Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
-‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
-
-For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
-and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
-limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
-or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
-copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
-
-This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
-for the grant of any rights to the Work.
-
-8. Disclaimer of Liability
-
-Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
-persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
-material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
-of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
-stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
-damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
-However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
-far such laws apply to the Work.
-
-9. Additional agreements
-
-While distributing the Work, You may choose to conclude an additional agreement,
-defining obligations or services consistent with this Licence. However, if
-accepting obligations, You may act only on your own behalf and on your sole
-responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any other Contributor,
-and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
-for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such Contributor by
-the fact You have accepted any warranty or additional liability.
-
-10. Acceptance of the Licence
-
-The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon ‘I agree’
-placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or by
-affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of

-
-11. Information to the public

-received the Work from the Licensee under the Licence, provided such persons
-remain in full compliance with the Licence.
-
-13. Miscellaneous
-
-Without prejudice of Article 9 above, the Licence represents the complete
-agreement between the Parties as to the Work.
-
-If any provision of the Licence is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
-law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the Licence as a
-whole. Such provision will be construed or reformed so as necessary to make it
-valid and enforceable.
-
-The European Commission may publish other linguistic versions or new versions of
-this Licence or updated versions of the Appendix, so far this is required and
-reasonable, without reducing the scope of the rights granted by the Licence. New
-versions of the Licence will be published with a unique version number.
-
-All linguistic versions of this Licence, approved by the European Commission,
-have identical value. Parties can take advantage of the linguistic version of
-their choice.
-
-14. Jurisdiction
-
-Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
-
-- any litigation resulting from the interpretation of this License, arising
-  between the European Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, as a
-  Licensor, and any Licensee, will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court
-  of Justice of the European Union, as laid down in article 272 of the Treaty on
-  the Functioning of the European Union,
-
-- any litigation arising between other parties and resulting from the
-  interpretation of this License, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
-  of the competent court where the Licensor resides or conducts its primary
-  business.
-
-15. Applicable Law
-
-Without prejudice to specific agreement between parties,
-
-- this Licence shall be governed by the law of the European Union Member State

+
+HellionChat is a fork of [Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo) by
+**Infiziert90 (Infi)** and **Anna Clemens**, both of whom kept that plugin
+running and maintained for years before I ever opened the source. Without
+their work this fork would not exist, full stop. I owe them the architecture,
+the message store, the channel filtering, the sidebar tab system, the
+hooks into FFXIV's chat, the localisation infrastructure, and countless
+small decisions that I only noticed because they had already been made
+correctly.
+
+If you find HellionChat useful, please remember that the foundation came
+from Chat 2. The code Anna and Infi wrote is doing most of the heavy
+lifting in this fork too.
+
+## A direct word to Infi and Anna
+
+Hi. I am Florian (Flo, also Jon Kazama in-game on Phoenix). I forked Chat 2
+because I wanted a privacy-by-default version for my own use case and a
+small group of friends I play with, not because I thought I could do
+anything better than what you built. The opposite is true. ChatTwo's
+default of full history and cross-character logging is the right call for
+most users. I just have a different threat model and a different
+data-handling philosophy that fits a smaller, locally-stored, retention-
+limited approach.
+
+What HellionChat adds is mostly Hellion-specific surface area: a privacy
+filter, per-channel retention windows, an export pipeline, an Auto-Tell-
+Tabs feature for FFXIV club greeters, the Hellion theme and font, German
+localisation, and a settings UX rebuild. None of it touches the bones of
+what you built. Where I had to modify your code I tried to keep the
+edits minimal, isolated to clearly-marked Hellion files, and reversible.
+
+Concrete example: when API 15 hit, I cherry-picked your fix for the
+BetterTTV emote regression with `git cherry-pick -x` so authorship and
+co-author trail stay intact. That is the standard I want to keep using as
+long as both projects are alive. You should never have to look at this
+fork and wonder if I quietly ate your work.
+
+If anything in this fork ever steps on something you would not be okay
+with, please reach out and I will fix it. Genuinely. The list of contacts
+is below.
+
+## Maintainer contact
+
+If something in HellionChat causes problems, especially if it relates back

+
+## Why this fork is not upstreamed
+
+The privacy-by-default position fits a small audience. ChatTwo's
+full-history-by-default position fits a much larger one, including the
+roleplaying community where chat archive is part of the play experience.
+Trying to upstream HellionChat's defaults would have meant arguing that
+Chat 2's defaults are wrong, and they are not. They are right for the
+user base ChatTwo serves. So I keep the fork separate, attribute clearly,
+and pull selected upstream patches when they apply.
+
+## Why HellionChat left the GitHub fork network
+
+The Dalamud plugin ecosystem treats the GitHub-Fork relation as a signal
+that a fork is either a development branch or a dead mirror. HellionChat
+is neither. It is an independently-maintained EUPL-1.2 fork with its own
+release cadence, its own custom repo, its own user base. Detaching the
+fork-network relation just makes the situation honest. The git history,
+the cherry-pick trail, and the attribution stay exactly the same. The
+only thing that changes is the GitHub UI no longer says "forked from".
+
+## Trademarks and naming
+
+"Chat 2" and "ChatTwo" are the names Infi and Anna chose for the upstream
+plugin. HellionChat does not use either of those names in user-facing
+copy except where required to describe origin (settings tab, manifest,
+this file, the README). The Hellion brand is mine.

+# Privacy notice
+
+HellionChat is a Dalamud plugin for FINAL FANTASY XIV that focuses on
+giving the user explicit control over what their chat client stores
+locally. This document describes what the plugin does with your data,
+what it does not do, and how you exercise the rights the GDPR gives
+you over data you generate yourself.
+
+This document is informational. The maintainer of HellionChat is
+**not** a controller or processor of your data in the GDPR sense,
+because no data ever leaves your machine on the maintainer's
+infrastructure. Independently of that, the plugin is built so that
+you can act on your own data the way the GDPR expects.
+
+Last reviewed: 2026-05-03 (HellionChat v0.5.4).
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+- All chat data the plugin stores stays on your machine, in your
+  Dalamud `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/` directory.
+- The plugin does not phone home. There is no telemetry, no analytics,
+  no crash reporter, no usage counter, no remote update check beyond
+  what Dalamud itself does.
+- Two outbound network calls exist by design: the BetterTTV emote
+  service (for chat emotes) and the Square Enix Lodestone font CDN
+  (for the in-game symbol font). Both are documented in detail below
+  and both can be reasoned about per request.
+- You can export every message the plugin has stored, in Markdown,
+  JSON or CSV, and you can wipe stored history per channel, per date
+  range, or globally.
+
+---
+
+## What the plugin stores locally
+
+HellionChat keeps three kinds of state on your machine, all under
+`%appdata%\XIVLauncher\pluginConfigs\HellionChat\` on Windows
+(`~/.xlcore/pluginConfigs/HellionChat/` on Linux/macOS via XIVLauncher
+Core):
+
+1. **Configuration** (`HellionChat.json`)
+   Plugin settings, channel whitelist, retention values, layout state,
+   theme colours. Contains no chat content.
+
+2. **Message database** (SQLite file in the same directory)
+   Chat messages from the channels on your whitelist, stored as
+   MessagePack-encoded blobs. Default whitelist out of the box covers
+   only your own conversations: tells, party, free company, linkshells,
+   cross-world linkshells, alliance, ExtraChat. Public chat, NPC
+   dialogue, system messages and battle logs are dropped on the
+   storage layer and never written to disk.
+
+3. **Cached emote images** (`EmoteCacheV1/` directory)
+   Image files downloaded from BetterTTV when an emote appears in a
+   message you receive. See "Outbound network calls" below.
+
+There is no shared state with the upstream Chat 2 plugin.
+`pluginConfigs/HellionChat/` is independent from `pluginConfigs/ChatTwo/`.
+
+### Retention defaults
+
+- Tells: 365 days
+- Your-conversation channels (party, FC, linkshells, cross-world LS,
+  alliance, ExtraChat): 90 days
+- Global default for anything else: 30 days
+
+**Retention is off by default.** The plugin does not delete anything
+on its own until you explicitly turn the retention sweep on in the
+settings. Until then, stored messages stay until you clear them.
+
+---
+
+## What the plugin does not store
+
+- Public chat (`/say`, `/yell`, `/shout`), NPC dialogue, system
+  messages and battle logs. These are filtered before they reach the
+  storage layer.
+- Anything from channels you remove from the whitelist. The privacy
+  filter runs on the way in, not on the way out.
+- Login credentials, character IDs, account IDs. The plugin uses
+  whatever Dalamud already exposes about the local character to
+  attribute messages; nothing of that is sent anywhere or persisted
+  beyond the message itself.
+
+---
+
+## Outbound network calls
+
+HellionChat makes two kinds of automatic outbound network requests.
+Both are inherited from upstream Chat 2 and both are documented here
+because "DSGVO-by-design" means you should know what your client does
+on your behalf.
+
+### 1. BetterTTV emote service (`api.betterttv.net`, `cdn.betterttv.net`)
+
+- **What it does:** When a chat message arrives that references a
+  BetterTTV emote, the plugin asks the BetterTTV API for the emote
+  metadata and downloads the image from the BetterTTV CDN to display
+  it inline.
+- **What is sent:** A standard HTTPS GET request. Your IP address
+  reaches BetterTTV (unavoidable for any HTTPS request); the request
+  itself contains no identifying user data, no character name, no
+  message text. Only the emote ID being looked up is in the URL path.
+- **When it triggers:** Only when an incoming message contains an
+  emote token that is on the BetterTTV emote list.
+- **Cached:** Yes, in `emoteCache/`. A given emote is downloaded once
+  per machine and reused.
+- **How to opt out:** Turn off the **Show emotes** option in
+  Settings → Chat. With it disabled, the emote cache does not load
+  and no requests to BetterTTV are made for the rest of the session.
+- **BetterTTV's privacy policy:** <https://betterttv.com/privacy>
+
+Source: `ChatTwo/EmoteCache.cs`.
+
+### 2. Square Enix Lodestone font (`img.finalfantasyxiv.com`)
+
+- **What it does:** Downloads the `FFXIV_Lodestone_SSF.ttf` font file
+  from the official Square Enix Lodestone CDN once during font setup,
+  so the plugin can render in-game special symbols (job icons, item
+  glyphs, etc.) inside ImGui.
+- **What is sent:** A single HTTPS GET request to the public Square
+  Enix font URL. Your IP address reaches Square Enix (unavoidable);
+  no character data, no plugin identifier, no message content.
+- **When it triggers:** Once per font initialisation, not per session
+  if the file is already cached locally.
+- **Cached:** Yes, by Dalamud's font subsystem.
+- **How to opt out:** This call is part of the font pipeline inherited
+  from upstream Chat 2 and not toggleable from the settings UI today.
+  If a user-facing opt-out for this would be useful for you, please
+  open a feature-request issue.
+
+Source: `ChatTwo/FontManager.cs`.
+
+### Links you click yourself (no automatic traffic)
+
+The settings panel contains a few buttons that open external pages in
+your browser when you click them: the upstream Chat 2 GitHub repo,
+the upstream maintainers' Ko-fi pages, the HellionChat issue tracker
+and `hellion-media.de`. Nothing happens until you click. They are
+documented here for completeness, not because they generate background
+traffic.
+
+---
+
+## What the plugin does not do
+
+- **No telemetry.** Source verified: no calls to AppInsights, Sentry,
+  PostHog, Plausible, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity or any
+  comparable service exist in the codebase, nor in the direct
+  dependencies the plugin pulls in. See `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`.
+- **No crash reporting.** Crashes go to Dalamud's local `xllog`,
+  not to a remote endpoint controlled by HellionChat.
+- **No usage counters.** The plugin does not count installs, sessions,
+  feature usage, channel activity or anything else for the maintainer.
+- **No phone-home update check.** Updates are delivered through
+  Dalamud's plugin installer, which polls the custom-repo
+  `repo.json` on GitHub. That is GitHub's traffic and falls under
+  GitHub's privacy policy; the plugin code does no separate update
+  check.
+- **No background sync.** Messages stay on your machine. There is no
+  cloud backup, no sharing feature, no remote viewer.
+
+---
+
+## Your data, your rights
+
+The GDPR gives you specific rights over data about you. Because
+HellionChat stores everything locally, those rights translate
+directly into plugin features:
+
+### Right to access (Art. 15)
+
+Use the export feature in the plugin settings. You can export to
+**Markdown**, **JSON** or **CSV**, filtered by channel, date range
+or sender substring. The export goes through a Dalamud file dialog
+and writes wherever you point it, on your machine.
+
+### Right to erasure (Art. 17)
+
+Two options:
+
+1. **Targeted deletion** — the "retroactive cleanup" feature lets you
+   apply your current whitelist to the existing database. It shows a
+   preview of what will be removed before you confirm with
+   Ctrl+Shift, runs in the background, and calls `VACUUM` afterwards
+   to actually shrink the file.
+2. **Full deletion** — close the game and delete the
+   `pluginConfigs/HellionChat/` directory. Next plugin start will
+   produce a fresh, empty configuration.
+
+### Right to portability (Art. 20)
+
+The JSON and CSV exports are open formats. The Markdown export is
+human-readable and machine-parseable. Nothing is locked into a
+proprietary container.
+
+### Right to object / restrict processing (Art. 21, 18)
+
+Adjust the channel whitelist or set retention to a low value. Both
+take effect immediately on new messages; existing data needs the
+retroactive cleanup to apply retroactively, by design.
+
+---
+
+## Third parties involved
+
+| Party | Why they appear | What reaches them | Their privacy policy |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| BetterTTV (NightDev LLC) | Optional emote rendering | HTTPS request for an emote ID; your IP | <https://betterttv.com/privacy> |
+| Square Enix | Lodestone font download (once) | HTTPS request for the font file; your IP | <https://www.square-enix.com/privacy> |
+| GitHub (Microsoft) | Plugin distribution via custom repo, issue tracker | Whatever GitHub sees from any HTTPS request to a public repo | <https://docs.github.com/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement> |
+| Dalamud / XIVLauncher (goatcorp) | Plugin loader, font subsystem, repo polling | Whatever Dalamud reports for itself; out of HellionChat's scope | <https://github.com/goatcorp/Dalamud> |
+
+Square Enix and GitHub are unavoidable for anyone playing FFXIV
+through Dalamud at all. BetterTTV is the only third party HellionChat
+introduces on top of the baseline that is not also part of using FFXIV
+or Dalamud, and BetterTTV is opt-out via settings.
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies that touch the network
+
+For a full dependency inventory see `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`. Of the
+direct dependencies the plugin pulls in:
+
+- `MessagePack` — local serialisation, no network.
+- `Microsoft.Data.Sqlite` — local SQLite access, no network.
+- `morelinq` — LINQ helpers, no network.
+- `Pidgin` — parser combinators, no network.
+- `SixLabors.ImageSharp` — image decoding (used for the BetterTTV
+  emote pipeline), no network on its own.
+
+The two network calls listed under "Outbound network calls" are
+written directly in HellionChat's own source, not delegated to a
+dependency.
+
+---
+
+## Changes to this notice
+
+If a future release changes what HellionChat stores, sends or caches,
+this document will be updated and the change called out in the
+changelog block of that release. The "Last reviewed" date at the top
+tracks the version this document is accurate for.

+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+If you find a security issue in HellionChat, please do not open a public
+GitHub issue. Use one of the private channels below instead so we can
+investigate and ship a fix before the details go out.
+
+**Preferred:**
+[Privately report a vulnerability](https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/security/advisories/new)

+- Discord: `@j.j_kazama`
+
+I respond on weekdays during European business hours. For urgent
+disclosures (active exploitation, user-data exposure) email is the
+fastest path.
+
+## What I treat as in scope
+
+- Code paths in HellionChat that touch user-controlled input (chat
+  messages, plugin config, file paths the user can influence)
+- The privacy filter in MessageStore.cs and the export pipeline
+- The Configuration migration logic
+- The EmoteCache HTTP client and path handling
+- The Auto-Tell-Tabs spawn logic and history preload
+
+## What is not in scope
+
+- Issues in upstream Chat 2 that we have not modified — please report
+  those at <https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues>
+- Issues in Dalamud itself — those go to <https://github.com/goatcorp/Dalamud>
+- Issues in the FFXIV game client
+- Anything that needs the user to install a malicious plugin first
+
+## Acknowledgement
+
+I list everyone who reports a real issue in the changelog of the release
+that fixes it, unless they prefer to stay anonymous. No bug bounty,
+nothing financial; this is a hobby plugin.
+
+## Disclosure window
+
+I aim to ship a fix within 14 days for high-severity issues and within
+30 days for everything else. If a fix needs more time I will say so in
+the private thread.

+Bug reports still go through the issue tracker so they can be tracked,
+but a quick "is this a bug or am I holding it wrong" message is fine.
+
+## Upstream Chat 2 issues
+
+If the issue exists in upstream Chat 2 too, please report it at
+[Infiziert90/ChatTwo](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo/issues).
+That keeps the original maintainers in the loop and helps everyone
+who uses Chat 2 directly.
+
+## Response times
+
+Weekdays during European business hours. Weekends and FFXIV patch
+days, replies will be slower. A few days of silence on a non-urgent
+issue is normal; pinging once after a week is fine.

+## Upstream code
+
+HellionChat is a fork of [Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo)
+by Infiziert90 (Infi) and Anna Clemens, also licensed under EUPL-1.2.
+The bulk of the code, including the message store architecture, the
+channel logic, the hook system and the ImGui chat window, originates
+from upstream. See `NOTICE.md` and `UPSTREAM_SYNC.md` for the
+attribution and the cherry-pick policy.
+
+---
+
+## Components that touch the network
+
+Of everything listed above, **none** of the bundled or NuGet
+components opens network connections on their own. All outbound
+traffic is initiated explicitly by HellionChat's own source files
+and is documented in `PRIVACY.md` under "Outbound network calls":
+
+- `ChatTwo/EmoteCache.cs` → BetterTTV API + CDN (opt-out via setting)
+- `ChatTwo/FontManager.cs` → Square Enix Lodestone font CDN (one-time
+  download)
+
+---
+
+## Verifying this list
+
+To regenerate the dependency inventory after a version bump:
+
+```bash
+dotnet list ChatTwo.sln package --include-transitive
+```
+
+The "direct NuGet dependencies" table above only lists direct
+references. Transitive dependencies pulled in by Dalamud SDK or by
+the listed packages are covered by the SDK / package licences and
+documented by their respective maintainers.
+
+To re-audit the network-call inventory:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn -E "HttpClient|HttpRequest|new Uri\(|https?://" \
+  --include="*.cs" ChatTwo/
+```
+
+Any new hit that is not a click-through (`Util.OpenLink`) or a
+payload-parsing call must be added to `PRIVACY.md` before release.

+# Upstream sync workflow
+
+HellionChat is a standalone EUPL-1.2 fork of [Chat 2](https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo).
+We pull selected patches from upstream manually instead of running an
+automated mirror. This file documents how that works so anyone (including
+future-me) can do it cleanly.
+
+## One-time setup
+
+Add the upstream repo as a remote on a fresh clone:
+
+```bash
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo.git
+git fetch upstream
+```
+
+Verify both remotes are wired up:
+
+```bash
+git remote -v
+# origin    https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat.git (fetch)
+# origin    https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat.git (push)
+# upstream  https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo.git (fetch)
+# upstream  https://github.com/Infiziert90/ChatTwo.git (push)
+```
+
+You never push to `upstream`. It is read-only for us.
+
+## Reviewing what is new upstream
+
+Before any feature cycle starts I run a quick check:
+
+```bash
+git fetch upstream
+git log --oneline main..upstream/main | head -30
+```
+
+That shows every commit Infi or contributors landed since the last sync.
+Read the messages, decide which ones apply.
+
+## What we cherry-pick
+
+**Always:** security fixes, API-version compatibility patches (Dalamud
+API 15 → 16 → ...), BetterTTV / emote-cache fixes, regression fixes for
+the upstream behaviour we still rely on.
+
+**Sometimes:** small bug fixes in `MessageManager.cs`, `MessageStore.cs`,
+`ChatLogWindow.cs`, the Tabs system. Pull them when they touch code we
+have not heavily modified.
+
+**Never:** webinterface changes (the entire webinterface tree is gone in
+HellionChat), changes that conflict with the privacy filter, changes that
+re-add upstream defaults we deliberately reversed (full-history logging,
+Tell Exclusive defaults, etc.).
+
+## How we cherry-pick
+
+Always with `-x` so authorship and the original commit hash stay
+visible:
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b sync/upstream-<topic> main
+git cherry-pick -x <upstream-commit-sha>
+```
+
+`-x` adds a `(cherry picked from commit <sha>)` line to the commit
+message. That preserves the upstream-author credit and lets anyone
+reading `git log` trace the change back to ChatTwo. Co-Author trail
+intact, no AI lines, no "Hellion" prefix on commits that were not
+authored by us.
+
+## Conflict handling
+
+When a cherry-pick conflicts:
+
+1. Resolve the conflict by hand. Do not "fix" upstream code to match
+   Hellion conventions; that is what the merge marker showed us.
+2. If the conflict is fundamental (touches code that no longer exists
+   in our fork), abort the cherry-pick and document why in
+   `Hellion Chat Backlog.md` instead. Some upstream patches are not
+   portable; that is fine.
+3. After a successful resolve, the commit message stays identical to
+   the upstream message, with the `-x` cherry-pick footer Git appends
+   automatically. Do not rewrite the message to match our format.
+
+## Pushing the sync
+
+Cherry-picked commits go through the same review as our own work: the
+sync branch lands in `main` via a no-fast-forward merge, then a release
+tag if the user-visible behaviour changes (otherwise just merged).
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git merge --no-ff sync/upstream-<topic> -m "merge: upstream sync — <topic>"
+```
+
+## When upstream goes silent
+
+If Chat 2 stops receiving updates entirely we keep this workflow alive
+anyway. The remote stays configured, the documentation stays here. The
+moment maintenance picks back up we are ready to pull again.
+
+## When upstream takes a direction we cannot follow
+
+If a future ChatTwo release breaks compatibility with our privacy
+philosophy in a way we cannot resolve (e.g. mandatory cloud sync,
+removal of the local message store, a license change that makes EUPL
+incompatible), HellionChat continues on its own from the last
+compatible cherry-pick. The history we already inherited stays under
+EUPL-1.2 and stays attributed.
