+- Sidebar im neuen Look: fix 44 px breit, nur Icons, Tab-Name als Tooltip beim Hover, vertikale Akzent-Pill markiert den aktiven Tab
+- Top-Tabs bekommen eine Akzent-Underline statt Background-Fill am aktiven Tab
+- Pro Tab eigenes Icon wählbar in Einstellungen → Tabs (FontAwesome-Pool)
+- Auto-Tell-Tabs sind jetzt visuell unterscheidbar: jeder Tell-Partner bekommt ein eigenes Icon (envelope/star/heart/bell/bookmark/flag/fire) plus eigene Farbe aus 12-Farb-Palette — 84 Kombinationen, gleicher Partner ergibt konsistent dieselbe
+- Pulsierender roter Dot oben rechts am Sidebar-Icon zeigt ungelesene Nachrichten an. Sanft, 2-Sekunden-Cycle, deaktivierbar über `Configuration.ReduceMotion` (UI-Toggle in v1.3.0)
+- Bottom-Status-Bar (22 px) mit fünf Live-Slots: aktiver Channel + Color-Dot, Privacy-Badge, Tab/Message-Counter, Auto-Tell-Counter, Plugin-Version. Update 1×/Sek
+- Card-Rows als Default-Message-Render: Sender-Header in Channel-Farbe, Body neue Zeile, dezenter Trenner. `Compact Density`-Toggle in Aussehen schaltet zurück auf den Einzeiler
+- Bug-Fix: Settings speichern löscht den Chat-Verlauf nicht mehr. Refilter läuft jetzt nur wenn Filter-relevante Settings geändert wurden — Cosmetic-Änderungen lassen den Chat unverändert. Persistente und Auto-Tell-Tabs überleben beide
+- Bug-Fix: Hellion-Schrift (Exo 2) blockt die Schriftgröße nicht mehr — 4K-User können hochskalieren
+- Migration v14 → v15: alte Theme-Felder entfernt, alle anderen Settings bleiben
+
+Animation-Polish (Lerps, Theme-Crossfade, Quick-Picker) folgt in v1.3.0.

+subtitle: "Settings Cleanup"
+versionsnatur: "UX-Polish-Cycle"
+---
+- Settings-Übersicht thematisch re-sortiert: zusammenhängende Optionen wohnen jetzt zusammen, jede Card hat einen kurzen Untertitel — kein Raten mehr wo eine Setting steckt
+- Drei neue Cards: **Theme & Layout** (Theme-Picker, Fenster-Style, Zeitstempel-Style), **Schriften & Farben** (Schriftart, Schriftgröße, Chat-Farben pro Channel), **Daten-Verwaltung** (Aufbewahrung, Cleanup, Export, DB-Viewer, Advanced-Tools — vorher zwischen Datenschutz und Datenbank verteilt)
+- Datenschutz fokussiert sich jetzt auf eine Aufgabe: den Privacy-Filter
+- Der Auto-Tell-Tabs-History-Preload-Slider ist von Datenschutz nach Chat → Auto-Tell-Tabs umgezogen
+- KeybindMode wohnt jetzt unter Allgemein → Eingabe statt unter Sprache
+- Vier tote Schema-Felder entfernt (alle obsolet seit der Theme-Engine in v1.1.0): `Stilüberschreiben`-Toggle, `Stilname`-Auswahl, alter `WindowAlpha`-Slider, ungenutztes `ShowThemeQuickPicker`
+- Migration v15 → v16: alter `WindowAlpha`-Wert wird automatisch nach `Theme & Layout → Fenster-Style → Fenster-Transparenz` gemappt (nur wenn der Slider noch auf Default 0.85 stand, sonst gewinnt der User-Wert). Backup der Pre-v16-Config liegt unter `pluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v16-backup`. User die `Stilüberschreiben` aktiv hatten sehen einen einmaligen Hinweis-Toast
+- UX-Default-Bumps für Bestand-User mit Default-Werten: Card-Rows-Layout zurück auf Single-Line, NG+ standardmäßig hidden, gleiche Zeitstempel werden zusammengefasst, MaxLinesToRender auf konservativere 2500
+- Frische Installs starten mit dem Hellion-Brand-Chat-Color-Preset out-of-the-box (der First-Run-Wizard hat keine Preset-Wahl)
+- Hinweis zum Window-Transparenz-Slider in der Beschreibung: Dalamud's per-Window-Hamburger-Menü (oben rechts in der Titelleiste) bietet eigene Overrides für Deckkraft, Hintergrund-Blur, Anpinnen und Durchklick — die haben Vorrang über unseren Slider für das jeweilige Fenster
+
+Pure UX-Polish, keine neuen Features. Nächster Cycle (v1.3.0): Animation-Polish (Lerps, Theme-Crossfade, Quick-Picker) wie ursprünglich geplant.

+- Vier neue Built-in-Themes verlängern die Auswahl im Picker — keine Engine-Änderung, keine Settings angefasst, einfach mehr Farboptionen
+- **Night Blue** — Royal Blue auf tiefem Marineblau. Kühles Tech-Dashboard-Mood, bewusst neutral gehalten damit es sich nicht mit den Brand-Themes beißt
+- **Indigo Violet** — Royal Violet auf Deep Indigo mit Türkis-Mint-Counter für Aurora-Glitter-Stimmung. Schwester von Event Horizon, aber dunkler und dichter; der Türkis-Akzent hält die beiden klar auseinander
+- **Forge Merchantman** — Patina-Bronze auf Workshop-Slate mit warmem Bernstein-Counter. Hellion Forge bekommt ein eigenes Theme im Plugin selbst — Schwester von Hellion Arctic, aber grüner und wärmer statt kaltem Cyan
+- **Hellion Spectrum** — Farbenblind-sichere Channel-Farben (Deuteranopie/Protanopie) auf Basis der Wong/Okabe-Ito-Palette. Channel-Identität bleibt erhalten (Tell pink, Yell gelb, Shout orange, Party blau, FC grün); die Töne sind so gewählt dass jeder Channel auch unter Rot-Grün-Schwäche klar trennbar bleibt. Deckt rund 99 % aller CVD-Fälle ab
+- Kein Schema-Bump, keine Migration. Das Default-Theme bleibt **Hellion Arctic**, eigene Custom-Themes laufen unverändert weiter
+- Theme-Katalog wächst damit von fünf auf neun Built-ins
+
+Reines Theme-Pack zwischen v1.2.1 und dem nächsten Polish-Cycle. Eine Tritan-Variante (Spectrum für Blau-Gelb-Schwäche) kann später nachgeliefert werden, falls Bedarf kommt.

+- **Honorific-Custom-Titles im Chat-Header** — der Titel den du in Honorific gesetzt hast erscheint jetzt links über dem Message-Log mit der von dir gewählten Farbe, Auto-Hide wenn Honorific nicht installiert ist oder kein Custom-Titel aktiv ist
+- **Krone-Icon plus Tooltip** vor dem Titel-Text, damit klar ist woher der Slot kommt ohne dass der User raten muss
+- **Neuer Integrations-Settings-Tab** mit Status-Indikator (erkannt, nicht installiert, inkompatibel) und Toggle. Plus Vorschau-Block der die fünf weiteren geplanten Cycles ankündigt: Kontextmenü-Aktionen, Smart Notifications (NotificationMaster), RP-Status-Block (Moodles und LightlessClient), ExtraChat-Channels, Quick-DM-Button (XIVInstantMessenger)
+- **Maintainer-Attribution** im Tab als Höflichkeits-Geste, zwei Buttons zum Honorific-Repo und zum Caraxi-Profil. Plus Hellion-Forge-Discord-Button für Community-Vorschläge zu künftigen Integrationen
+- Keine Migration, keine Schema-Änderung. Wer Honorific eh schon nutzt sieht den Custom-Titel automatisch sobald HellionChat aktualisiert

+Erster Sub-Patch der v1.4.x Polish-Sweep-Serie. Sieben

+abgearbeitet, bevor Performance- und Architektur-Refactors

+- **SQLite-Dispose** lehnt sich nicht mehr an GC-Druck zur
+  Datei-Freigabe an, Pooling=false auf der Connection macht
+  den manuellen GC.Collect überflüssig
+- **Worker-Threads** (PendingMessage, RetentionSweep) sind
+  jetzt explizit IsBackground=true, das Plugin-Domain kann
+  sauber unloaden bei XIVLauncher-Reload ohne darauf zu warten
+- **EmoteCache-Loader** von async-void auf async-Task mit
+  shared Task-Tracker, drain-on-Dispose. Kein Schreib-Risiko
+  mehr auf disposed EmoteImages-Einträge nach Plugin-Reload
+- **DisposeAsync-Timeout** (10s) warnt jetzt laut statt silent
+  zu failen
+- **Plugin-Dispose** flushed pending DeferredSave bevor Services
+  abgebaut werden, Settings-Änderungen aus den letzten Frames
+  vor Disable überleben jetzt zuverlässig
+- **v13→v14 Config-Migration** liest pre-v13-Backup und überträgt
+  HellionThemeWindowOpacity in das neue WindowOpacity-Feld statt
+  auf 0.85 zurückzufallen
+
+Keine Schema-Bumps, keine User-sichtbaren Funktions-Änderungen
+außer dass Reload und Shutdown spürbar sauberer laufen.

-in another space, for example posting as a HellionChat maintainer in
-the Dalamud Discord.
+We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes

+## Encouraged Behaviors
+
+While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet
+our community's expectations for positive behavior. We also understand
+that our words and actions may be interpreted differently than we intend
+based on culture, background, or native language.
+
+With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward
+each other and act in ways that center our shared values, including:
+
+1. Respecting the **purpose of our community**, our activities, and our
+   ways of gathering.
+2. Engaging **kindly and honestly** with others.
+3. Respecting **different viewpoints** and experiences.
+4. **Taking responsibility** for our actions and contributions.

+6. Committing to **repairing harm** when it occurs.
+7. Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the **well-being of
+   our community**.
+
+## Restricted Behaviors
+
+We agree to restrict the following behaviors in our community.
+Instances, threats, and promotion of these behaviors are violations of
+this Code of Conduct.
+
+1. **Harassment.** Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging
+   in unnecessary personal attention after any clear request to stop.
+2. **Character attacks.** Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative
+   comments directed at a community member or group of people.
+3. **Stereotyping or discrimination.** Characterizing anyone's
+   personality or behavior on the basis of immutable identities or
+   traits.
+4. **Sexualization.** Behaving in a way that would generally be
+   considered inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of the
+   community.
+5. **Violating confidentiality.** Sharing or acting on someone's
+   personal or private information without their permission.
+6. **Endangerment.** Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or
+   other harm toward any person or group.
+7. Behaving in other ways that **threaten the well-being** of our
+   community.
+
+### Other Restrictions
+
+1. **Misleading identity.** Impersonating someone else for any reason,
+   or pretending to be someone else to evade enforcement actions.
+2. **Failing to credit sources.** Not properly crediting the sources of
+   content you contribute.
+3. **Promotional materials.** Sharing marketing or other commercial
+   content in a way that is outside the norms of the community.
+4. **Irresponsible communication.** Failing to responsibly present
+   content which includes, links to, or describes any other restricted
+   behaviors.

 changelog: |-
-  **Hellion Chat 1.1.0 — Theme Foundation**
+  **Hellion Chat 1.4.0 — Critical Lifecycle Fixes**
 
-  First major UI cycle after the standalone v1.0.0 cut. Theme engine,
-  five built-in themes, customisable JSON themes, modernised settings
-  layout.
+  First sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Seven
+  known lifecycle and race bugs eliminated before any
+  performance refactor sits on top.
 
-  New themes (Settings → Themes):
-
-  - **Hellion Arctic** — the brand default, Arctic Cyan + Ember Glow
-    on industrial slate.
-  - **Chat 2 Klassik** — Steel Blue on neutral grey, eckige Kanten.
-    The upstream Chat 2 look on the new engine.
-  - **Event Horizon** — Cosmic Purple on near-black. Deep-space mood.
-  - **Moonlit Bloom** — Bloom Magenta + Soft Sage on deep-violet
-    night.
-  - **Mint Grove** — Mint Green + Honey Amber on deep forest. First
-    member of the Grove family.
-
-  Theme engine highlights:
-
-  - Slug-based selection in Settings → Themes with mini-mockup
-    previews per theme.
-  - Click a theme card and the whole plugin (chat, settings,
-    pop-outs, viewer) repaints instantly.
-  - Custom themes via JSON in pluginConfigs/HellionChat/themes/.
-    Example template seeded on first launch.
-  - Optional per-theme chat-channel colours. When a theme proposes
-    its own chat colours and yours differ, a dezent banner offers
-    Apply / Keep — never auto-overwriting.
-  - Migration v13 → v14: existing users land on Hellion Arctic. Pick
-    Chat 2 Klassik to keep the upstream look.
-
-  Settings layout:
-
-  - New card-grid overview on Settings open. Click a card to drill
-    into the section.
-  - Breadcrumb back to overview, ESC also returns.
-  - Detail view drops the redundant tab list — section content uses
-    the full width.
-
-  Branding:
-
-  - Plugin icon swapped from the ChatTwo derivative to the Hellion
-    Forge hammer.
-  - New docs/THEME-AUTHORING.md walks you through writing your own
-    themes with the Forge logo on top.
-
-  Technical:
-
-  - HellionStyle.PushGlobal is now theme-driven. Configuration.
-    HellionThemeEnabled is deprecated and will be removed in v1.2.0.
-  - New ThemeRegistry singleton with LastWriteTime-cached custom-
-    theme loader.
-  - 51 local unit tests cover the data model, registry, JSON round-
-    trip and built-in sanity checks.
-
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
-
-  **Hellion Chat 1.0.3 — Polish patch**
-
-  - New: optionally hide chat (and every other plugin window) while the
-    New Game+ menu is open. Toggle in Settings → Window → Frame, default
-    off. Closing the menu restores all windows.
-  - New: optionally tint the channel selector button next to the input
-    field with the currently active channel's colour. Toggle in
-    Settings → Appearance → Colours, default on. Matches the existing
-    input-text tint and respects ExtraChat overrides.
-  - Fix: status, item and other inline hover icons keep their original
-    aspect ratio. Debuff icons with non-square dimensions are no longer
-    visually squished into a 32×32 box.
-  - Diagnostic: hide-state transitions (battle, cutscene, user-hide,
-    cutscene override) are now logged on Verbose level for easier bug
-    reports — off by default, enable with `/xllog set HellionChat verbose`.
-
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
-
-  **Hellion Chat 1.0.1 — Window Position Recovery**
-
-  - Automatic bounds check on the first draw after plugin load.
-    When the persisted window position has no overlap with the
-    primary viewport, the window snaps to a safe top-left default.
-    Helpful after a monitor disconnect, resolution change or
-    multi-monitor layout switch between sessions.
-  - New "Reset Window Position" button in Settings → Window → Frame
-    as a manual escape hatch for edge cases the automatic check
-    doesn't catch.
-
-  Tested on Linux/Wayland with a hard-cut three-monitor reduction;
-  window recovers cleanly without manual JSON editing.
-
-  Housekeeping carried over since v1.0.0:
-
-  - Documentation restructured into docs/ folder. New CHANGELOG,
-    CONTRIBUTORS, LEARNING-JOURNEY and ROADMAP added
-  - Stale ChatTwo/* paths in repo configs updated to HellionChat/*
-  - Pidgin parser library bumped from 3.3.0 to 3.5.1 (CIString
-    Unicode fix relevant for non-ASCII channel/tab names)
-  - GitHub Actions: actions/setup-dotnet bumped 4 → 5,
-    github/codeql-action bumped 3 → 4
-
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
-
-  **Hellion Chat 1.0.0 — Standalone Major Release**
-
-  First fully standalone release. Internal cleanup plus a sweep of
-  pre-existing correctness, security, threading and resource-leak
-  fixes carried over from the upstream codebase. No user action
-  required — auto-update applies cleanly, configuration and database
-  paths unchanged.
-
-  Standalone identity:
-
-  - Code namespace consolidated from ChatTwo.* to HellionChat.* across
-    all source files
-  - IPC channels migrated from ChatTwo.* to HellionChat.* (6 channels:
-    Register, Available, Unregister, Invoke, GetChatInputState,
-    ChatInputStateChanged) — third-party plugins that bound to the old
-    channels need to be updated; none known at release time
-  - ImGui popup ID renamed to hellionchat-context-popup
-  - Repository folder restructured (ChatTwo/ → HellionChat/), all CI
-    and build paths updated accordingly
-  - Public-facing descriptions reworded from upstream-fork framing to
-    standalone framing (Chat 2 attribution preserved per EUPL-1.2)
-  - Colour preset 'ChatTwo Default' is now 'Klassik (Chat 2 Default)'
-
-  Safety:
-
-  - Plugin now refuses to load when upstream Chat 2 is also active —
-    bilingual conflict message in EN/DE, throw before any subsystem
-    initialization, prevents the runtime crash that previously occurred
-    when both plugins replaced the same chat window in parallel
-  - SQLite native binary bumped to 3.50.3 (CVE-2025-6965 memory
-    corruption from aggregate-term overflow, CVE-2025-7709)
-  - NuGet restore now honors packages.lock.json so transitive
-    dependencies don't drift between machines or CI runs
-
-  Default tab layout sharpened (one-time tab reset on first start):
-
-  The first-run tab layout is reorganized into five thematic tabs
-  based on external tester feedback. General contains only Say,
-  Yell and Shout (immediate-surroundings public chat). System
-  absorbs the gameplay-event streams (NpcDialogue, Loot, Crafting,
-  Gathering, PF recruitment pings) and announcement noise
-  (BattleSystem, FreeCompanyAnnouncement, PvpTeamAnnouncement)
-  that previously lived in General. FreeCompany, Group and
-  Linkshell each own their channel set. The static Tell tab is
-  gone — Auto-Tell-Tabs spawns per-conversation tabs on demand.
-  The Beginner / Novice-Network preset is no longer added by
-  default but is still available via Settings, Tabs.
-
-  This is a one-time tab-layout reset for users on config version
-  12 or older. Privacy, Retention, Theme and every other setting
-  is preserved. Your previous tab configuration is written to
-  pluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v13-backup so you can restore
-  it manually if you prefer the old layout.
-
-  Crash-class fixes (formerly latent in upstream):
-
-  - MathUtil.HasOverlap now uses a correct AABB test; identical or
-    edge-touching rectangles are no longer reported as non-overlapping
-  - ChatCode.Equals compares fields directly instead of GetHashCode;
-    removes the hash-collision anti-pattern
-  - IpcManager.Dispose uses UnregisterAction to match the matching
-    RegisterAction call; previous mismatch leaked the action
-    subscription on every plugin reload
-  - ExtraChat.Dispose now unsubscribes all three IPC subscriptions
-    (was only the first); leaks closed
-  - TellTarget.FromTarget guards against a zero IPlayerCharacter.Address
-    before dereferencing the unsafe Character* cast
-  - GameFunctions ResolveTextCommandPlaceholderDetour null-checks the
-    Hook reference instead of using the null-forgiving operator
-  - Popout.cs and SettingsTabs/Tabs.cs bounds-check list indexing so
-    a tab drop or empty-worlds list no longer crashes the UI
-  - Debugger.cs now declares IDisposable so the existing Dispose runs
-
-  Correctness fixes:
-
-  - GlobalParametersCache.GetValue captures Cache into a local before
-    the bounds check, so a concurrent Refresh can't slip a different
-    array between check and read
-  - IconUtil binary search bounds initialized to entries.Length-1 and
-    reset on redirect-restart; entries.Length==0 short-circuits
-  - Sheets.WorldsOnDatacenter now compares DataCenter.RowId (was
-    Region.RowId) so it actually returns same-DC worlds
-  - Message.cs back-reference loop iterates the processed Sender/Content
-    properties so chunks added by CheckMessageContent get Message set
-  - Language.zh-Hans Webinterface_Start_Success corrected to
-    "网页界面已启动" (was "网页界面已停止")
-
-  Threading and async:
-
-  - AutoTranslate Entries/ValidEntries are now serialized behind a
-    single lock; the preload worker thread and main thread no longer
-    race on the underlying dictionary/hash set
-  - Privacy retention and cleanup workers bound their framework-refresh
-    waits to 5 seconds with a logged timeout; a hung framework tick can
-    no longer deadlock the background worker
-
-  Resource handling:
-
-  - EmoteCache reuses the static HttpClient instead of allocating a new
-    one per call (closed socket leak)
-  - FontManager wraps HttpClient/HttpResponseMessage in using-blocks
-    and adds EnsureSuccessStatusCode; failed downloads no longer
-    silently produce a zero-byte font file
-  - SearchSelector mixes the row index into the ImGui ID stack so
-    selectables don't collapse to a single ambiguous ID
-  - SettingsTabs/Chat blocked-emote add-button now opens its selector
-    popup on left-click
-
-  Performance:
-
-  - DbViewer text export caches filteredHistory.Count once instead of
-    re-enumerating the IEnumerable on every batch (O(N) instead of
-    O(N²) on large histories)
-
-  License attribution (NOTICE.md, COPYRIGHT, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md
-  and the Credits section in README) is unchanged.
-
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
-
-  **Hellion Chat 0.6.1 — Pop-Out Discoverability & /tell Auto-Pop-Out**
-
-  - 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)
+  - MessageStore disposal no longer triggers GC.Collect
+    globally; Pooling=false on the SQLite connection means
+    there's nothing left to clean up by hand
+  - PendingMessage and RetentionSweep worker threads are
+    explicitly marked IsBackground=true so the plugin domain
+    can unload during XIVLauncher reload without waiting
+    for them
+  - EmoteCache image and gif loaders moved from async-void
+    to async Task with a shared task tracker, draining
+    on Dispose so an in-flight load can no longer write
+    to a disposed EmoteImages entry
+  - DisposeAsync 10s timeout now warns loudly instead of
+    silently leaving the worker behind
+  - Plugin.Dispose flushes any pending DeferredSaveFrames
+    before tearing services down, so settings changes
+    made in the last few frames before disable are no
+    longer lost
+  - The v13→v14 config migration now reads the pre-v13
+    backup and carries HellionThemeWindowOpacity into the
+    new WindowOpacity field instead of falling back to
+    the default 0.85

+  - New "Integrations" settings tab
+  - Honorific integration with auto-detection and live updates
+  - "Coming soon" preview of the next five planned integrations:
+    context menu actions, smart notifications, RP status block,
+    ExtraChat channels, and quick DM compose
+  - Maintainer attribution buttons for Honorific repo and Caraxi
+  - New service-class pattern under HellionChat/Integrations/
+
+  Modding and support: join Hellion Forge - https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR
+
+  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+
+  **Hellion Chat 1.2.3 — Theme Expansion**
+
+  Four new built-in themes round out the picker. No engine changes,
+  no settings touched — just more colour options.
+
+  - **Night Blue** — Royal Blue on deep marine. Cool tech-dashboard
+    mood, distinct from the brand themes.
+  - **Indigo Violet** — Royal Violet on deep indigo with a turquoise-
+    mint counter for an aurora glitter feel. Sister to Event Horizon
+    but darker and denser; the turquoise accent keeps the two
+    distinguishable.
+  - **Forge Merchantman** — Patina bronze on workshop slate, warm
+    amber counter. Hellion Forge given a theme of its own — sister
+    to Hellion Arctic but greener and warmer instead of cold cyan.
+  - **Hellion Spectrum** — Deuteran/Protan-safe channel colours
+    using Wong/Okabe-Ito palette tones. Channel identity (Tell pink,
+    Yell yellow, Shout orange, Party blue, FC green) is preserved;
+    tones are chosen so each channel stays distinguishable under
+    red-green colour vision deficiency. Covers the ~99% of CVD cases
+    that are red-green.
+
+  No schema bump, no migration. Default theme is unchanged (Hellion
+  Arctic). Existing custom themes keep working.
+
+  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-- 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.

 ### 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:**
-  - The emote *list* (global emotes plus the top-1500 community emotes
-    over fifteen API pages) is fetched from `api.betterttv.net` once
-    per session at plugin startup, provided the **Show emotes** option
-    is on. This first list-fetch happens before any chat message has
-    arrived; BetterTTV's edge therefore sees your IP as soon as the
-    plugin loads, not only after an emote is mentioned.
-  - The individual emote *images* on `cdn.betterttv.net` are fetched
-    on demand, only when an incoming chat message contains a token
-    matching one of the cached IDs. These are cached locally
-    (`emoteCache/`) and reused across sessions.
-- **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.

+
+Hellion Chat ist ein Privacy-First-Plugin auf dem Chat-2-Fundament. Der größte Teil der Engine kommt aus Chat 2 (Message-Store, Channel-Logik, Hook-System), die meisten Tastenkürzel funktionieren weiterhin wie gewohnt. Was sich ändert: schärfere Privacy-Defaults von Haus aus, eigene Slash-Commands unter `/hellionchat`, kein Webinterface mehr, und mit v1.1.0 eine Theme-Engine als Schritt in Richtung eigenes UI-Look-and-Feel.
+
+Der Daten-Handling-Fokus liegt auf den DSGVO/EU-, US- und JP-Regelungen, soweit für ein Chat-Plugin praktisch umsetzbar: Speicherzeit pro Kanal, granulare Filter, Selbstauskunft per Export. Eine ausführliche Auflistung steht in [`PRIVACY.md`](PRIVACY.md).
 
 Eigenständiges Repository, EUPL-1.2-lizenziert. Mit v1.0.0 ist der Standalone-Cut abgeschlossen: eigener Namespace `HellionChat.*`, eigene IPC-Kanäle, eigene Source-Tree-Struktur. Distribution über Custom-Repo. Selektive Cherry-Picks von Upstream-Chat-2 nach Bedarf, dokumentiert in [`docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md`](docs/UPSTREAM_SYNC.md).

 ### Zur Release-Kadenz
 
-Wer den Repo zum ersten Mal sieht, bemerkt schnell viele Releases und sehr viele Commits in kurzer Zeit. Beides ist eine bewusste Entscheidung, keine KI-Slop-Symptomatik: Vorarbeit vor dem Fork (Issues und Commits gelesen, Chat 2 ingame genutzt), eine sauber strukturierte Upstream-Codebase als Fundament, atomare Commits im Stil des Upstream und AI-gestütztes Review-Sparring, das ich nicht blind übernehme. Die volle Begründung steht in [`docs/LEARNING-JOURNEY.md`](docs/LEARNING-JOURNEY.md), Sektion "Wie ich so schnell release".

+## Hellion Chat 1.4.0 — Critical Lifecycle Fixes
+
+First sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Seven
+known lifecycle and race bugs eliminated before any
+performance refactor sits on top.
+
+- MessageStore disposal no longer triggers GC.Collect
+  globally; Pooling=false on the SQLite connection means
+  there's nothing left to clean up by hand
+- PendingMessage and RetentionSweep worker threads are
+  explicitly marked IsBackground=true so the plugin domain
+  can unload during XIVLauncher reload without waiting
+  for them
+- EmoteCache image and gif loaders moved from async-void
+  to async Task with a shared task tracker, draining
+  on Dispose so an in-flight load can no longer write
+  to a disposed EmoteImages entry
+- DisposeAsync 10s timeout now warns loudly instead of
+  silently leaving the worker behind
+- Plugin.Dispose flushes any pending DeferredSaveFrames
+  before tearing services down, so settings changes
+  made in the last few frames before disable are no
+  longer lost
+- The v13→v14 config migration now reads the pre-v13
+  backup and carries HellionThemeWindowOpacity into the
+  new WindowOpacity field instead of falling back to
+  the default 0.85
+
+Modding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR

+
+## Hellion Chat 1.3.0 - Plugin Integrations: Honorific
+
+First step on the plugin-integration roadmap. HellionChat now
+listens to Honorific and shows your custom title in the chat
+header. The slot auto-hides when Honorific is not installed,
+when no custom title is active, or when you are using the
+original FFXIV title.
+
+- New "Integrations" settings tab
+- Honorific integration with auto-detection and live updates
+- "Coming soon" preview of the next five planned integrations:
+  context menu actions, smart notifications, RP status block,
+  ExtraChat channels, and quick DM compose

+
+## v1.2.3 — Theme Expansion (2026-05-06)
+
+### Added
+- Four new built-in themes:
+  - **Night Blue** — Royal Blue on deep marine, cool tech-dashboard mood
+  - **Indigo Violet** — Royal Violet on deep indigo with a turquoise-mint counter (aurora glitter feel)
+  - **Forge Merchantman** — Patina bronze on workshop slate with warm amber counter (Hellion Forge identity)
+  - **Hellion Spectrum** — Deuteran/Protan-safe channel colours using Wong/Okabe-Ito palette tones; channel identity (Tell pink, Yell yellow, Shout orange, Party blue, FC green) preserved while keeping every channel separable under red-green colour vision deficiency
+- Built-in theme catalogue grown from five to nine
+
+### Notes
+- No engine changes, no settings touched, no migration
+- Default theme unchanged (Hellion Arctic). Existing custom themes keep working.
+- Hellion Spectrum covers the ~99 % of CVD cases that are red-green; a Tritan-safe variant could follow in a later cycle if there is demand.
+
+---
+
+## v1.2.1 — Settings Cleanup (2026-05-06)
+
+### Changed
+- Settings cards re-sorted thematically: 9 cards remain, each card has one clear job and a one-line subtitle.
+- **Theme & Layout** (new) collects the theme picker, window frame style (title bar, sidebar, hide button, pop-out title bar) and the timestamp style options.
+- **Fonts & Colours** (new) houses font choice, font size and per-channel chat colours.
+- **Data Management** (new) collects retention windows, cleanup, export, the database viewer and the shift-click advanced tools.
+- **Privacy** is now focused on the privacy filter alone.
+- **Chat** absorbs the Auto-Tell-Tabs history-preload slider that used to live under Privacy.
+- **General** groups the keybind mode under Input.
+
+### Removed
+- Legacy "Style override" option and the unused style-name field — both obsolete since the v1.1.0 themes engine.
+- Legacy `WindowAlpha` slider — if you had it set, the value is auto-migrated to Theme & Layout → Window Style → Window Transparency.
+- Unused `ShowThemeQuickPicker` schema field.
+
+### Migration
+- v15 → v16 with backup at `pluginConfigs/HellionChat.json.pre-v16-backup`.
+- All other settings preserved unchanged.
+- One-time toast on first start if Style override was previously active.
+
+---
+
+## v1.2.0 — Layout Refresh (2026-05-05)
+
+### Added
+- Sidebar tab modernization: icon-only at fixed 44 px, tooltip on hover, vertical accent pill for active tab
+- Top tabs: accent underline pill replaces background fill on active tab
+- Per-tab custom icons in Settings → Tabs (15-glyph FontAwesome picker)
+- Bottom status bar (22 px): channel indicator, privacy badge, counters, tells, version — updates 1×/sec
+- Card rows as default message render: sender header in channel color, subtle border between cards
+- Compact-Density toggle in Appearance: switches back to single-line `[HH:mm] Sender: Text` layout
+- Auto-Tell tabs: per-partner hashed icon (7-glyph pool: envelope/star/heart/bell/bookmark/flag/fire) plus hashed color (12-color palette) — 84 distinct icon+color combinations
+- Unread indicator: pulsing red dot in the top-right corner of any sidebar tab icon with unread messages, 2-second sine-wave pulse, respects `Configuration.ReduceMotion`
+
+### Changed
+- Migration v14 → v15: deprecated Configuration fields `HellionThemeEnabled` and `HellionThemeWindowOpacity` removed
+- Appearance settings cleaned: legacy theme-engine bindings replaced by Themes tab (introduced in v1.1.0)
+
+### Fixed
+- Settings save no longer wipes chat history by default — the heavy `ClearAllTabs + FilterAllTabsAsync` cycle now only runs when a filter-relevant setting actually changed (Privacy filter, persisted channels, per-tab channel selection). Cosmetic changes keep the in-session chat intact
+- Identifier-based `MessageList` restore in `Configuration.UpdateFrom` plus TempTab skip in `ClearAllTabs`/`FilterAllTabs` ensure persistent tabs and Auto-Tell tabs both survive the save
+- Sidebar buttons now align vertically with the first message row (top padding mirrors the chat header toolbar height)
+- Sidebar child window no longer paints the top padding area with its frame background
+- Status bar version slot (`vX.Y.Z · Hellion`) no longer clips its rightmost character
+
+### Notes
+- Polish phase (animations, theme crossfade, header quick-picker) follows in v1.3.0
+- Top-Tab icon prefixes were considered but dropped: Dalamud's default font atlas does not include FontAwesome codepoints, so mixed-font in a single TabItem label renders as tofu. Underline pill alone is the v1.2.0 visual treatment for top tabs. Resolution would require Font-Atlas merge at FontManager level — out of scope.

-## One-time setup

+
+## A Word on Intent
+
+HellionChat is not trying to replace Chat 2. I build it for myself,
+and maybe for people who want the same things I do: a privacy-first
+chat plugin with tighter defaults and no remote-access surface. If
+that is not you, Chat 2 is the better choice and a well-maintained
+project.
+
+I am available to Infi if he ever has questions about HellionChat or
+how I have diverged from the upstream code. What I will not do is
+interfere with Chat 2's direction or push unsolicited opinions into
+his project.
+
+Long-term compatibility between Chat 2 and HellionChat is not
+guaranteed and, frankly, not technically possible. I am building a
+new UI from scratch and making deliberate architectural decisions that
+pull in a different direction. Some upstream patches will simply stop
+applying cleanly and that is expected.

-## When upstream takes a direction we cannot follow
+A few things to note about that process:
 
-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.

+  the fix stands on its own without HellionChat context.
+- They are written by hand. No AI-generated code goes to Infi's
+  project. He did not ask for Pair-level AI involvement and I will
+  not push that decision onto his codebase.
+- This is not guaranteed for every change, only where it makes sense
+  and where I am confident the fix is clean and self-contained.
