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.

+- Slash-Commands zentral registriert: /hellion, /hellionView, /hellionSeString und /hellionDebugger
+  werden jetzt im Plugin-Load zentral registriert statt erst beim ersten Öffnen ihres Ziel-Fensters.

+  zusätzlich zu unseren eigenen `HellionChat.*`-Gates unter dem `ChatTwo.*`-Namensraum. Drittseitige

+- **Architektur-Umbau ohne User-spürbare Verhaltens-Änderung:** der Plugin-Bootstrap wechselt auf

+  Lightless-Sync-Muster. 18 Service-Klassen wandern von einem statischen `Plugin.LogProxy`-Locator
+  auf typisierte `ILogger<T>`-Constructor-Injection. `DalamudLogger` brückt
+  `Microsoft.Extensions.Logging` über auf Dalamuds `IPluginLog` — im xllog erscheinen jetzt
+  Service-spezifische Spalten wie `[ MessageManager]` und `[Honori...ervice]`.
+- **Plugin.LogProxy bleibt für die acht Buckets erhalten,** die Constructor-Injection nicht

+  (Configuration), Data-Class mit Massen-Instanziierung (Message) und Instanz-Klassen die nur aus
+  Static-Methods loggen (FontManager, eine GameFunctions-Stelle).
+- **Performance bestätigt durch Cross-Plugin-Baseline:** HellionChat First-Frame-HITCH 77 ms Median,
+  Chat 2 v1.40.2 74 ms Median — kein DI-Penalty gegenüber dem Upstream-Fork-Origin. Lightless und
+  XIVInstantMessenger liegen bei ~7 ms weil sie ihren FontAtlas-Build deferren; das wird das

-    **v1.4.7 — Backlog Cleanup and Mid-Features (2026-05-13)**
+    **v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**
 
-    Eighth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. First
+    Hybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.
-    user-visible feature bundle since v1.4.5 — pinned tell tabs that
-    survive relog, opt-in Honorific glow rendering, and a configurable
-    sidebar.
 
-    - TempTell Pin: right-click a TempTell tab in the sidebar to pin
+    What changes under the hood:
-      it. Pinned tabs survive relog, keep their conversation history
+
-      (loaded on demand from the message store), and stay bound to
+    - FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single
-      the same /tell partner. Hard cap of 5 pinned tabs in a pool
+      atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds once
-      separate from the 15-tab auto-tell pool — total ceiling is 20
+      per plugin load instead of four to five times — less CPU and GPU
-      tabs. New 'Pinned' section in the sidebar with its own divider
+      pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less atlas texture
-      header
+      memory churn.
-    - Honorific Glow outline now renders when the title carries a
+    - Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become
-      Glow colour. Opt-in via Settings → Integrations → 'Render glow
+      init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable because
-      outlines (Honorific)' (default off, dodges the per-frame
+      the eight font settings still need to replace them at runtime —
-      DrawList overhead on low-end hardware). Gradient (Color3 /
+      that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts() now and
-      GradientColourSet / Wave / Pulse) is parsed but rendered
+      runs without a plugin reload.
-      statically — a later cycle will port the full animation
+    - FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle
-    - Sidebar width is now configurable in Theme & Layout (range
+      instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build step
-      44–160 px). Default stays icon-only; widen to fit section
+      less in the ctor.
-      headers like 'Active Tells (3)' without truncation
+    - BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation
-    - Settings Save no longer pops the chat input back to /tell with
+      path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.
-      a pinned partner — Configuration.UpdateFrom now preserves the
+    - Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor
-      runtime CurrentChannel across the persistent-tab merge, and
+      smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas
-      TabSwitched deep-clones the seeded channel instead of sharing
+      load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).
-      the previous tab's UsedChannel
+
-    - Util/ImGuiUtil.cs DrawArrows IconButton id now uses
+    Honorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item) was
-      (id + 1).ToString() instead of the operator-precedence quirk
+    dropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient
-      id + 1.ToString() — generated IDs stay numerically stable
+    frame, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was declined.
-    - Internal: IPluginLogProxy indirection over Dalamud's IPluginLog
+    The integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.
-      routes all ~91 Plugin.Log call sites through a testable proxy.
+
-      MessageStore.Migrate0 can now run in xUnit without loading
+    User-visible:
-      Dalamud.dll, closing the gap F12.1 left in v1.4.6
+
-    - Internal: TempTab counter switched from an Interlocked cached
+    - Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is
-      field to a derived Tabs.Count(predicate) — pin-state transitions
+      emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner
-      are cold-path and don't need lock-free reads
+      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.
+
+    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.
 
     Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-    **v1.4.6 — Code Hygiene and Refactor (2026-05-12)**
+    **v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**
 
-    Maintenance patch. No user-visible behaviour changes; tightens the
+    Major architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a
-    development feedback loop, fixes two upstream-inherited bugs, and
+    generic-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +

+    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.
 
-    - preflight.sh gains a csharpier reflow check and a markdownlint
+    What changes under the hood:
-      pass so style drift and markdown violations are caught at the
+
-      pre-push gate
+    - 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger<T> via constructor
-    - FontManager fallback catches the full set of atlas-toolkit
+      injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,
-      throws (IO, InvalidOperation, ArgumentException) — a corrupt
+      MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations
-      font config no longer takes down the whole atlas build

-    - Built-in themes: Crystal Nocturne (sapphire and electric

+    User-visible:
-      Users with Moonlit Bloom selected fall back to Hellion Arctic
+
-      on first load
+    - 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.
+
+    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).

-    Sixth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Chat-log draw
+    Eleventh and final sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series.
-    failures surface as a notification, the first-run wizard has an

-    - Internal: explicit session-only Auto-Tell-Tab invariant in
+      sixteen picks across both tabs. Toggle in Settings → Chat →
-      Plugin.cs plus a pinning test in the Build-Suite
+      Message behaviour, default on.
-    - Internal: FontManager falls back to the system font if the
+    - Pinned auto-tell tabs reload their full history again: a
-      embedded Hellion font resource is missing — logs a Warning
+      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.

-    **v1.4.4 — Threading and IPC safety polish (2026-05-12)**

-    Fifth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Threading

-    assumptions are documented per-method, a hot-path lock falls

-    away, and the privacy filter speaks up when an unknown ChatType
+    comfortably under Dalamud's 100 ms HITCH warning threshold.
-    shows up.
 
-    - AutoTellTabs hot-path getter uses an Interlocked counter
+    - First-frame defer: six non-essential rendering sections inside
-      instead of taking the lock on every read
+      ChatLogWindow skip their first Draw and run one frame later
-    - Honorific integration: per-method threading banners, plus
+      (bottom status bar, channel-name SeString chunks, window bounds
-      Warning-level log on unsubscribe failure
+      check, v0.6.1 hint banner, autocomplete, input-preview
-    - AutoTranslate warmup thread marked IsBackground so plugin
+      calculation). User-visible delay is ~17 ms at 60 fps, hidden
-      unload doesn't wait for it
+      inside the post-reload font-atlas build window.
-    - PrivacyFilter logs once per unknown ChatType so a future
+    - Slash-command centralisation: /hellion, /hellionView,
-      patch's added channel doesn't drop off the radar
+      /hellionSeString and /hellionDebugger are registered in
-    - New installs persist unknown channels by default; existing
+      LoadAsync instead of inside the corresponding window
-      configs keep their explicit choice
+      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).

+# Hellion Chat — ASCII branding assets
+
+ASCII art collected during the Hellion Chat branding pass. The Hellion Chat mascot is a fox, and two
+variants ship inside the plugin DLL as embedded resources and render at runtime. Everything in this
+folder is the wider study collection that did not get picked for the live slots, kept around as
+reference material and for anyone who wants to remix or build on top of them.
+
+## Live assets (rendered at runtime)
+
+These two files live as embedded resources under `HellionChat/Resources/Branding/` and are loaded by
+the plugin at startup. They are intentionally outside this folder so the build pipeline can treat
+them as binary blobs rather than loose assets.
+
+| File                                            | Slot                                                                                                                                                         |
+| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `HellionChat/Resources/Branding/fox-banner.txt` | Full fox silhouette with "Hellion Forge" set inside the body. Rendered as a folded `TreeNode` in the First-Run Wizard and in the Settings → Information tab. |
+| `HellionChat/Resources/Branding/fox-mini.txt`   | Compact fox-head + curly-tail. Prepended to the DI-logger bootstrap banner so an `/xllog` reader sees the signature on every plugin load.                    |
+
+## Study assets (this folder, not embedded)
+
+Variants drawn during the design pass that did not get picked for the live slots. Kept around so the
+next branding iteration can remix them or pull one in if a new render slot needs an alternative
+shape.
+
+| File                            | Description                                                                               |
+| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `fox-profile-hf.txt`            | Fox profile silhouette in `$`/`X` stipple with a small "HF" mark inside the chest.        |
+| `fox-sitting-stipple.txt`       | Sitting fox in `&` stipple with a full tail sweep to the right.                           |
+| `fox-paw-stipple.txt`           | Detailed paw print in `@` stipple — five upper pads plus the main pad.                    |
+| `fox-paw-outline.txt`           | Compact outline paw with `^` claw marks (non-retractable claws are a fox-vs-cat tell).    |
+| `wolf-head-blazejkozlowski.txt` | Third-party work, kept as a style reference from the design pass — see attribution below. |

+### Project status (pre-v1.5.1, kept for context)
+
+**Version 1.5.0** — DI Foundation and Service Refactor. Major architecture cycle: the plugin
+bootstrap moves to a generic-host DI container (`Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting` +
+`IServiceCollection`) modelled on Lightless Sync. All 18 instance-class services migrate from a
+static `Plugin.LogProxy` locator to `Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T>` via constructor
+injection, with a custom `DalamudLogger` bridging the framework over to Dalamud's `IPluginLog`. The
+proxy stays for the eight buckets ctor-injection cannot reach (static helpers like `EmoteCache`,
+Dalamud-reflected `Configuration`, the `Message` data class, and static methods inside `FontManager`
+/ `GameFunctions`). Plugin.cs finishes the cycle at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the
+pre-cycle 1013 — because the new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge wiring trade out exactly the
+service and window allocations that left `LoadAsync`. Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance
+penalty vs Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2 74 ms. 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 item. One user-visible fix bundled in from upstream: pasting a
+slash command into the chat input (Friend List "/tell" action, plugin-driven inserts) now replaces
+the existing input instead of concatenating onto whatever the user was typing. Migration v17 stays
+(no schema bump).
