Merge branch 'feature/v1.5.1'

- csproj <Version> 1.5.0 to 1.5.1; <None Include="images\**"> now
  excludes the source-only ASCII study folder so the deploy stays
  clean
- yaml + repo.json changelog block prepended with the v1.5.1 entry,
  v1.4.8 trimmed out per the slim rule (three to four versions in
  the manifest cache, older history lives on the Gitea release page)
- repo.json AssemblyVersion + TestingAssemblyVersion bumped to
  1.5.1.0, three DownloadLink* URLs point at v1.5.1
- docs/CHANGELOG and docs/ROADMAP gain the v1.5.1 entry; ROADMAP
  Next-Cycle slot moves to v1.5.2 First-Run-Wizard rework
- README status sections updated, the previous v1.5.0 paragraph
  kept under a "Project status (pre-v1.5.1, kept for context)"
  heading
- Forge-post .github/forge-posts/v1.5.1.md added, DE body honest
  about the HITCH-win miss
- yamllint config ignores the plugin manifest yaml because it
  follows DalamudPackager's 4-space indent convention rather than
  yamllint's default 2

Changelogs are honest about the cross-plugin HITCH target from
v1.5.0 not landing this cycle.

+**Hellion Chat 1.4.4 — Threading- und IPC-Sicherheits-Politur**
+
+Fünfter Sub-Patch der v1.4.x Polish-Sweep-Serie. Threading-Annahmen werden explizit pro Methode
+dokumentiert, ein Hot-Path-Lock im Auto-Tell-Tab-Counter fällt weg, IPC-Cleanup wird sichtbar wenn
+er fehlschlägt und der Privacy-Filter spricht jetzt bei unbekannten ChatTypes.
+
+- **AutoTellTabsService Hot-Path-Lock entfernt.** `ActiveTempTabCount` hat bisher pro Render-Frame
+  ein LINQ-Count unter einem Lock gemacht. Jetzt läuft das über einen Interlocked-Counter der
+  parallel zur Tabs-Liste mitgeführt wird, inklusive Resync-Hook für den Snapshot-Restore-Pfad in
+  `SaveConfig`. Plus Pure-Helper-Test-Mirror in der Build-Suite damit die Atomicity-Semantik nicht
+  versehentlich wegrefactored wird
+- **HonorificService selbst-dokumentierende Threading-Banner.** Statt eines Block-Comments am
+  Klassen-Ende hat jede IPC-Callback-Methode jetzt einen 1-Zeilen-Banner darüber, der den
+  Thread-Kontext direkt am Call-Site benennt (framework only, framework scheduled, any). Mehr Hilfe
+  für künftige Reviews als ein abstraktes Threading-Kapitel
+- **Unsubscribe-Failure ist jetzt sichtbar.** `TryUnsubscribe` hat ein Honorific-Unsubscribe-Failure
+  bisher als Debug geloggt, was bei Standard-Loglevel verschluckt wurde. Eine geleakte Subscription
+  kann den Service über Plugin-Reloads hinweg leben lassen, also läuft der Log jetzt auf Warning
+- **AutoTranslate-Warmup blockiert den Plugin-Unload nicht mehr.** Der Cache-Warmup-Thread war ohne
+  `IsBackground=true` unterwegs, was den Unload um 100-300 ms verzögern konnte. Pattern-Match zu
+  MessageManager und RetentionSweep (beide seit v1.4.0)
+- **Privacy-Filter loggt unbekannte ChatTypes.** Wenn FFXIV durch einen Patch einen neuen ChatType
+  einführt der weder in der Whitelist noch in den Defaults steht, wird er bisher silent durch den
+  Failsafe geleitet. Jetzt loggt der Filter einmalig pro Runtime eine Warning mit dem Type und dem
+  Failsafe-Wert. Dedup über ein NonSerialized-HashSet, also kein Log-Spam
+- **Default-Flip für neue Installationen.** `PrivacyPersistUnknownChannels` startet bei neuen
+  Configs jetzt auf `true`, damit ein Patch-bedingt neuer ChatType nicht stillschweigend gedroppt
+  wird bevor der User entscheiden kann. Bestehende Configs behalten ihre Wahl, weil der Deserializer
+  den Initializer überschreibt. Keine Migration, kein Schema-Bump
+
+Keine User-sichtbaren Funktions-Änderungen außer dem Default-Flip für neue Installationen. Settings,
+Themes, Tabs und das Privacy-Verhalten für Bestand bleiben unangetastet.

+
+Sechster Sub-Patch der v1.4.x Polish-Sweep-Serie. Render-Fehler im Chat-Fenster werden jetzt
+sichtbar, der First-Run-Wizard hat eine explizite Cancel-Schaltfläche, der Eingabe-Verlauf bleibt
+nicht mehr über Plugin-Reloads hinweg liegen, und die Statusleiste klippt in schmalen Fenstern nicht
+mehr.
+
+- **Fehler-Benachrichtigung im Chat-Fenster.** Wenn ein Render-Fehler in `DrawChatLog` auftritt,
+  zeigt das Plugin jetzt eine einmalige Warning-Notification mit Verweis aufs `/xllog`, statt das
+  Fenster stillschweigend leer zu lassen. Der Stack-Trace selbst geht weiter via `Plugin.Log.Error`
+  ins Logfile. De-Dup über Per-Session-Bool, damit ein wiederkehrender Fehler die Notification-Stack
+  nicht pro Frame neu vollkippt
+- **First-Run-Wizard trennt Accept und Close.** `OnClose` setzt nicht mehr stillschweigend
+  `FirstRunCompleted=true`, also lässt das X den Wizard schwebend zurück und er kommt beim nächsten
+  Plugin-Reload wieder. Eine neue „Später — Defaults behalten"-Schaltfläche im Footer ist der
+  explizite Weg, ohne Profil-Auswahl rauszukommen. Strings bilingual EN+DE plus Tooltip
+- **Eingabe-Verlauf wird beim Plugin-Reload geleert.** `InputHistoryService.Reset` hängt jetzt in
+  `Plugin.DisposeAsync` neben den anderen Pure-Memory-Cleanups, damit der statische Zustand aus der
+  vorigen Session den nächsten Load nicht mehr erbt
+- **Statusleiste klippt nicht mehr.** Der rechtsbündige Versions-Slot wird ausgeblendet wenn die
+  Chat-Window-Breite abzüglich Versions-Text unter 200 px fällt — vorher überlappte er die vier
+  linken Slots. Ab ausreichender Breite taucht der Slot wieder auf
+- **Intern:** `FontManager` fällt auf System-Font zurück wenn die eingebettete Hellion-Font-Resource
+  fehlt (Broken-csproj-Pfad, nie ein Produktions-Build), plus expliziter
+  Session-Only-Invariant-Kommentar für Auto-Tell-Tabs in `Plugin.cs:167-168` mit einem

+v1.4.7-Backlog-Cleanup, plus zwei geerbte Bugfixes aus dem ChatTwo-Upstream `f35b7d3`.
+
+- **preflight.sh härter**: csharpier-Reflow-Check (Block E) und markdownlint (Block F) laufen jetzt
+  im Pre-Push-Gate, statt erst beim Pre-Merge-Review aufzufallen.
+- **FontManager-Fallback robuster**: Atlas-Toolkit-Throws aus kaputten Font-Configs (IO,
+  InvalidOperation, ArgumentException) fallen jetzt zuverlässig auf NotoSansCjkRegular, statt den
+  Atlas-Build mitzureißen. Der Exception-Typ wird im Log mitgegeben für die Diagnose.
+- **URL-Validation beim Plugin-Load**: BrandingLinks (5 URLs) und IntegrationLinks (2 URLs) werden
+  via `[ModuleInitializer]` geprüft. Ein Tippfehler bei einer künftigen URL-Rotation wirft jetzt
+  sofort beim Plugin-Load, statt still beim Klick zu scheitern.
+- **Cherry-Pick aus ChatTwo `f35b7d3`** — Memory-Leak in `Chat.SetChannel`: der native `Utf8String`
+  wird jetzt auch dann freigegeben, wenn der Linkshell-Check den Channel ablehnt (vorher gefangen im
+  early-return).
+- **Cherry-Pick aus ChatTwo `f35b7d3`** — `Tab.Clone()` Deep-cloned jetzt `UsedChannel` und
+  `TellTarget`. Vorher Reference-Share-Bug: PopOut- und Temp-Tabs mutierten sich gegenseitig.
+- **Aktive-Tab-Underline pixel-perfect bei DPI-Scaling**: Die Underline-Pill skaliert jetzt mit
+  `ImGuiHelpers.GlobalScale` und rundet die DrawList-Koordinaten auf physische Pixel. Kein
+  Sub-Pixel-Blur mehr auf 125/150%-Setups.
+- **IconButton-Width-Fix**: der manuelle `width - 2 * CellPadding.X`-Subtract verlor den HUD-Scale
+  (Padding skaliert, der raw int nicht). Gemessene Breite läuft jetzt unverändert durch.
+- **Test-Isolation für MessageStore**: `Dalamud.Utility.Util`-Surface (IsWine, OpenLink) läuft jetzt
+  durch eine `IPlatformUtil`-Indirektion. MessageStores `IsWine`-Probe ist isoliert testbar in der
+  Build-Suite. Plus: HellionStyle-ChildBgAlpha als Pure-Helper extrahiert, Plugin.SaveConfig kopiert
+  nur Session-Tabs statt der ganzen Tab-Liste, SettingsOverview cached den DrawList einmal pro
+  Frame.
+- **Built-in-Theme-Roster**: Crystal Nocturne (Royal Sapphire + Electric Magenta auf Obsidian, von
+  CRYSTALLITE) ersetzt Moonlit Bloom. User mit Moonlit Bloom als aktivem Theme fallen beim ersten
+  Plugin-Load auf Hellion Arctic zurück.

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

+- Slash-Commands zentral registriert: /hellion, /hellionView, /hellionSeString und /hellionDebugger
+  werden jetzt im Plugin-Load zentral registriert statt erst beim ersten Öffnen ihres Ziel-Fensters.
+  Heißt: die Befehle funktionieren ab dem ersten Tick, auch wenn das jeweilige Fenster nie geöffnet

+- Plugin-Load-Diagnose-Logs als Tripwire: die Profiling-Logs für MessageStore.Connect,

+- ChatTwo-IPC-Kompatibilitäts-Layer: HellionChat spiegelt jetzt die komplette ChatTwo-IPC-Surface
+  (`GetChatInputState`, `ChatInputStateChanged`, `Register`, `Unregister`, `Available`, `Invoke`)
+  zusätzlich zu unseren eigenen `HellionChat.*`-Gates unter dem `ChatTwo.*`-Namensraum. Drittseitige

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

 ## What I Will Accept
 
-- Bug fixes for behaviour documented in the README, the in-plugin
-  settings or the changelog.
-- Translation contributions for Hellion-specific strings via direct
-  pull requests against
-  `HellionChat/Resources/HellionStrings.*.resx`. Translations for

 ## What I Will Probably Decline
 
-- Re-introducing the webinterface or any remote-access feature. It was
-  removed in v0.2.0 on purpose. See the README section
-  "Was gegenüber Chat 2 fehlt".
-- Features that bypass the privacy filter or weaken the default
-  retention behaviour without an explicit, documented opt-in.
-- Sweeping refactors that touch large parts of the codebase. The
-  maintenance cost outweighs the benefit for a one-person project.
-  (This used to be doubly important because of the upstream
-  cherry-pick path; that path is closed now, but the rule still
-  holds on its own merits.)

 ## Workflow
 
-1. Open an issue (bug or feature request) using the templates under
-   `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`. Skip this for trivial typos.
-2. Fork the repository and branch off `main`. Branch naming is
-   informal; something like `fix/auto-tell-history-empty` or
-   `feat/theme-export` is fine.
-3. Match the existing code style. The repository ships an
-   `.editorconfig` that VS Code and Rider pick up automatically.
-4. Keep commits focused. Several small commits with clear messages are
-   easier to review than one large one. Squash-on-merge happens at
-   the PR level if needed.
-5. If your change touches user-visible behaviour, update the README
-   and/or the changelog block in `HellionChat/HellionChat.yaml` and
-   `repo.json`. I bump the version number myself at release time.
-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.

+author: Jon Kazama (Hellion Forge)
+punchline: A Hellion Forge plugin — privacy-focused chat replacement for FFXIV, built for EU, US and JP data rules.
 description: |-
-  Hellion Chat is a privacy-focused chat replacement for FINAL FANTASY XIV
-  based on the Chat 2 codebase (EUPL-1.2). One feature is intentionally
-  removed (the optional webinterface) and a stack of privacy controls is
-  added on top. Tabs, channel filters, RGB colours, emotes, screenshot
-  mode, IPC integration and the chat replacement window itself work the
-  same. The webinterface is intentionally not part of Hellion Chat because
-  it serves a different use case from the smaller default footprint this
-  plugin is built around.
+    Chat replacement for FINAL FANTASY XIV with privacy controls built around
+    EU, US and JP data-protection rules.
 
-  On top of that, Hellion Chat adds privacy and data-handling controls
-  designed to align with the modern data protection rules that apply
-  across the EU, the United States and Japan. By default only your own
-  conversations are stored; messages from strangers, NPCs and system
-  spam stay out of the database. Retention windows are configurable per
-  channel, history can be wiped retroactively, and stored data can be
-  exported on demand.
+    By default only your own conversations are stored. Public chat, NPC
+    dialogue and system messages stay out of the database unless you opt in.
+    Retention windows are configurable per channel, history can be wiped
+    retroactively, and everything can be exported on demand.
 
-  Key privacy and data-handling features:
+    Features:
+    - Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default
+    - Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep
+    - Retroactive cleanup (Ctrl+Shift confirm)
+    - Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV
+    - First-run wizard with three preset profiles
+    - Bilingual UI (EN/DE) with live language switching
+    - Own config and database — no shared state with other plugins
 
-  - Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default
-  - Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep
-  - Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm
-  - Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV
-  - First-run wizard with three preset profiles (Privacy-First, Casual,
-    Full History)
-  - Bilingual UI (English and German) with live language switching
-  - Independent plugin state — own config file and database directory,
-    so Hellion Chat does not share state with upstream Chat 2
-
-  v1.3.0 First plugin integration cycle. Honorific custom titles
-  are shown in the chat header above the message log, with auto-detect
-  and silent fallback when Honorific is not installed.
-
-  v1.4.0 — Critical Lifecycle Fixes. Plugin reload and shutdown
-  are cleaner: SQLite no longer leans on GC pressure to release
-  its file, worker threads are explicitly background, deferred
-  config saves no longer get lost mid-disable, and pre-v13 config
-  backups carry the user's custom theme opacity into the v14 schema
-  instead of falling back to the default.
-
-  v1.4.1 — Theme Engine Performance plus a tenth built-in.
-  HellionStyle.PushGlobal reads pre-computed ABGR values from a
-  per-theme cache instead of converting RGBA per slot per frame
-  (~13 % render-time recovery in typical scenes). Custom-theme
-  hot-reload survives transient file locks (editor mid-save
-  keeps the last-known-good snapshot). Synthwave Sunset joins
-  as the tenth built-in theme — Hot Magenta + Cyan on midnight
-  violet, 80s neon-grid vibes.
-
-  v1.4.2 — ChatLog Frame-Hot-Path. Three per-frame allocation
-  patterns gone from the chat-log render path: card-mode borders
-  hoist invariants out of the per-message loop, auto-tell tab
-  tint and icon get a per-tab cache, and the status bar gates
-  its tab aggregation behind the same one-second cache it uses
-  for the format strings.
-
-  v1.4.3 — Plugin-Load Async-Init plus Repo-Cutover. Plugin
-  migrated to Dalamud's IAsyncDalamudPlugin so the heavy work
-  (migrations, service allocations, window construction, hook
-  subscription) runs in LoadAsync without blocking Dalamud's
-  UI. Schema-gate replaces the v9 → v16 migration chain;
-  configs on schema v16+ load directly. Custom-repo URL moves
-  to gitea.hellion-forge.cloud, the GitHub repo stays as a
-  frozen v1.4.2 snapshot.
-
-  Based on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna, licensed under EUPL-1.2.

 changelog: |-
-  **Hellion Chat 1.4.3 — Plugin-Load Async-Init + Repo-Cutover (2026-05-08)**
+    **v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**
 
-  Plugin lifecycle migrated to Dalamud's `IAsyncDalamudPlugin`
-  API. The constructor now does only the bootstrap-essentials
-  (config load, language init, conflict detection); migrations,
-  service allocations, window construction and hook subscription
-  move to LoadAsync. Dalamud can keep its UI responsive while the
-  heavy work runs.
+    Hybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.
 
-  - IAsyncDalamudPlugin two-phase load with per-line CaptureFailure
-    in DisposeAsync (mirrors LightlessSync's pattern); idempotency
-    guard protects against reload races
-  - Schema-gate replaces the v9 → v16 migration chain. Configs
-    on schema v16+ load directly; older configs trigger an
-    "install v1.4.2 first" error so the historic migration
-    path stays intact
-  - AutoTranslate.PreloadCache moved off the load path. First
-    use may have a sub-second hitch instead of every-load; the
-    upstream chose differently, we accept first-use latency
-  - FontManager.BuildFonts is called sync at the start of
-    LoadAsync; Dalamud rebuilds the font atlas on its own
-    pipeline so the custom Hellion-Exo2 font appears with a
-    brief font-pop after load (matches ChatTwo's behaviour)
-  - Custom-repo URL moved to gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/
-    JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat. GitHub repo stays as a
-    frozen v1.4.2 snapshot; new releases ship from Gitea.
-    Existing testers need to update the custom-repo URL once
-  - Plugin-load time in this release sits at ~3.7 s median
-    (5 reloads), comparable to v1.4.2. Async migration is
-    foundational for v1.4.4 Lazy-Init optimisations rather
-    than an immediate user-perceived win
+    What changes under the hood:
 
-  Modding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR
+    - FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single
+      atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds once
+      per plugin load instead of four to five times — less CPU and GPU
+      pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less atlas texture
+      memory churn.
+    - Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become
+      init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable because
+      the eight font settings still need to replace them at runtime —
+      that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts() now and
+      runs without a plugin reload.
+    - FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle
+      instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build step
+      less in the ctor.
+    - BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation
+      path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.
+    - Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor
+      smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas
+      load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).
 
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+    Honorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item) was
+    dropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient
+    frame, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was declined.
+    The integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.
 
-  **Hellion Chat 1.4.2 — ChatLog Frame-Hot-Path**
+    User-visible:
 
-  Third sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Per-frame
-  allocations from the chat-log render path eliminated.
+    - Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is
+      emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner
+      with "Hellion Forge" set inside the body is available as a
+      folded TreeNode in the First-Run Wizard and Settings ->
+      Information tab. Drawn by Julia Moon, embedded in the plugin DLL.
+    - No settings changes, no migration. v17 stays.
 
-  - DrawMessages card-mode hoists theme/drawList/winLeft/winRight/
-    borderColorAbgr out of the per-message loop. About 500
-    redundant calls per frame at 100 visible messages, multiplied
-    by every pop-out window
-  - Auto-tell tab tint and icon use a per-tab cache. Hash
-    computation and string allocation only happen when the tell
-    target name or world drifts. AutoTellTabTint stays a pure
-    hash helper; cache lives in a thin TabTintCache wrapper
-  - Status bar gates its tab aggregation behind the same
-    one-second cache it already used for the format strings.
-    LINQ Sum and Count replaced with a single foreach pass
-    that runs on roughly 1% of frames
+    Note on performance: the cross-plugin baseline target from v1.5.0
+    (matching Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger at ~7 ms HITCH) did
+    not land this cycle. HITCH stays around 80 ms because the cost is
+    in the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build
+    (which this cycle did reduce from 4-5 builds per load to 1). A
+    first-frame render investigation is reserved for a later cycle.
 
-  Realistic frame-time recovery: 2-5% in typical scenes, more
-  on pop-out-heavy setups because the card-border hoist scales
-  per window.
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+    **v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**
 
-  **Hellion Chat 1.4.1 — Theme Engine Performance**
+    Major architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a
+    generic-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
+    IServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging
+    moves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed
+    Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T> via constructor injection,
+    bridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.
 
-  Second sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Heap
-  pressure from the theme engine's per-frame render path
-  removed, plus a tenth built-in theme and hardening for
-  the custom-theme hot-reload.
+    What changes under the hood:
 
-  - Theme records carry a pre-computed ABGR-packed cache
-    for every color slot; cache is filled when the theme
-    is registered and refreshed defensively on every
-    Switch()
-  - HellionStyle.PushGlobal reads ABGR values from the
-    cache instead of calling ColourUtil.RgbaToAbgr per
-    slot per frame; ~13 % render-time recovery measured
-    in typical scenes (plan estimate was 2–6 %, real
-    ~10–15 %)
-  - ThemeRegistry custom-theme reload distinguishes a
-    recoverable file lock (editor mid-save) from a
-    permanent IO failure; locked themes keep their
-    last-known-good snapshot and retry on the next
-    lookup instead of dropping out of the picker
-  - New built-in: Synthwave Sunset — Hot Magenta + Cyan
-    on midnight violet, 80s neon-grid vibes; tenth theme
-    in the picker
-  - Author credits refreshed: brand themes are credited
-    as "Hellion Forge"; Mint Grove and Forge Merchantman
-    now credited to Carla Beleandis as a community thanks
+    - 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger<T> via constructor
+      injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,
+      MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations
+      (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three
+      GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,
+      DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,
+      ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).
+    - Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor
+      injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,
+      AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected
+      types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance
+      classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one
+      GameFunctions site).
+    - Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the
+      pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge
+      wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations
+      that previously lived in LoadAsync.
+    - Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against
+      Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2
+      74 ms median. Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around
+      7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past Finished
+      loading — that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up.
 
-  No schema bump, no user-visible behaviour change other
-  than smoother frames on GC-sensitive setups and one
-  additional colour option.
+    User-visible:
 
-  Modding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR
+    - Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the
+      chat input (Friend List "/tell" action, plugin-driven inserts
+      from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing
+      input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo
+      upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.
 
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
 
-  **Hellion Chat 1.4.0 — Critical Lifecycle Fixes**
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
 
-  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
+    **v1.4.10 — Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)**
 
-  Modding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR
+    Eleventh and final sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series.
+    Symbol picker for the chat input, a tell-history reload fix for
+    users with many active partners, and a closing cleanup sweep
+    before v1.5.0 picks up the DI-container adoption.
 
-  Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
+    - Symbol picker: a small smile-icon button left of the channel
+      indicator opens a popup with two tabs. The first lists all 161
+      FFXIV PUA glyphs (Dalamud's SeIconChar enum); the second
+      carries 97 server-verified BMP symbols (latin marks, currency,
+      the full Greek alphabet, geometric shapes, suits, notes) —
+      every one of them round-tripped through /echo and /say in a
+      four-round probe so the in-channel render matches what the
+      picker shows. Click drops the glyph at the caret, multi-insert
+      keeps the popup open, and a recent-used strip floats the last
+      sixteen picks across both tabs. Toggle in Settings → Chat →
+      Message behaviour, default on.
+    - Pinned auto-tell tabs reload their full history again: a
+      hidden 500-row scan cap in PreloadHistory used to override the
+      user-configurable AutoTellTabsHistoryPreload setting, so
+      less-frequent pinned partners (rare /tell sessions in an
+      otherwise busy week) lost their backlog. The cap is removed;
+      the (Receiver, Date) index keeps SQL fast, the client-side
+      loop still respects your setting as the upper bound.
+    - Slash-command teardown: /hellion, /hellionView,
+      /hellionDebugger (and #if DEBUG /hellionSeString) wrappers are
+      now cached as private fields. Plugin teardown detaches the
+      live registration instead of re-Register'ing with identical
+      args — closes a latent maintenance hazard from v1.4.9.
+    - v1.4.x polish-sweep wraps up here. The ImGuiListClipper render
+      refactor that was on the v1.4.10 reserve list got dropped
+      after cross-platform smoke showed the scroll rubber-band is a
+      Wine / Linux render-pipeline quirk, not universal — Windows
+      users never saw it. It will get its own platform-targeted
+      spike in a later patch. Next major cycle is v1.5.0 with the
+      DI-container adoption (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +
+      ILogger<T>) modelled on Lightless.
+    - Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).

+
+    **v1.4.9 — Plugin-Load Render Polish (2026-05-15)**
+
+    Tenth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. First-frame
+    render cost drops from ~127 ms median to ~76 ms median,
+    comfortably under Dalamud's 100 ms HITCH warning threshold.
+
+    - First-frame defer: six non-essential rendering sections inside
+      ChatLogWindow skip their first Draw and run one frame later
+      (bottom status bar, channel-name SeString chunks, window bounds
+      check, v0.6.1 hint banner, autocomplete, input-preview
+      calculation). User-visible delay is ~17 ms at 60 fps, hidden
+      inside the post-reload font-atlas build window.
+    - Slash-command centralisation: /hellion, /hellionView,
+      /hellionSeString and /hellionDebugger are registered in
+      LoadAsync instead of inside the corresponding window
+      constructors. The plugin-manager Open and configuration buttons
+      hang on the same path.
+    - Plugin-load profiling logs stay on at Information level
+      (MessageStore connect/migrate, FilterAllTabs, auto-translate
+      warmup) as a regression tripwire — a future load past 100 ms
+      will show up in /xllog without a Debug filter.
+    - ChatTwo IPC compatibility layer: HellionChat now mirrors
+      ChatTwo's full IPC surface (GetChatInputState,
+      ChatInputStateChanged, Register, Unregister, Available,
+      Invoke) under the ChatTwo.* namespace in addition to our
+      existing HellionChat.* provider gates. Third-party
+      integrations that historically only subscribe to ChatTwo's
+      IPC — for example Artisan's and AllaganTools' context-menu
+      hooks — keep working without requiring a code change on their
+      side. Conflict detection prevents ChatTwo from loading in
+      parallel with HellionChat, so there is no slot-collision risk
+      at runtime.
+    - Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
