+##                 (Hauptentwicklung auf Linux, Target = Dalamud/Windows)
+##   Überarbeitet: Mai 2026
+##
+##   Strategie:
+##     - Default:                Alles LF (Linux-Konvention)
+##     - Windows-Batch-Scripts:  CRLF (technische Pflicht!)
+##     - PowerShell:             CRLF (Sicherheit für Windows PS 5.1)
+##     - Binärdateien:           explizit markiert (gegen Korruption)
+##
+##   Hinweis:
+##     Moderne Visual-Studio- und MSBuild-Versionen kommen
+##     problemlos mit LF in .sln/.csproj klar.
+##     Falls jemals Probleme auftauchen: hier umstellen.

+  Popup mit zwei Tabs. Der erste listet alle 161 FFXIV-PUA-Glyphen (Dalamuds SeIconChar); der zweite
+  trägt 97 verifizierte BMP-Symbole (Latin-Marken, Währungen, das ganze griechische Alphabet,
+  Geometrie, Spielkarten, Noten) — jedes davon über `/echo` und `/say` in einer vierrundigen
+  Whitelist-Probe durchgereicht, damit der Channel-Render dem entspricht, was der Picker anzeigt.
+  Klick fügt das Symbol an der Cursor-Position ein, Multi-Insert lässt das Popup offen, eine
+  Recent-Used-Leiste zeigt die letzten sechzehn Picks über beide Tabs. Toggle in Settings → Chat →
+  Nachrichten-Verhalten, Default an.
+- Verlauf in angepinnten Tell-Tabs lädt wieder vollständig: ein versteckter 500-Zeilen-Scan-Cap in
+  PreloadHistory hat das User-Setting `AutoTellTabsHistoryPreload` überschrieben, wodurch
+  weniger-frequente Tell-Partner ihren Backlog verloren haben sobald die Scan-Schicht mit anderen
+  Chat-Partnern voll lief. Cap ist raus, der Index auf `(Receiver, Date)` hält die Query schnell.
+- Slash-Command-Teardown: /hellion, /hellionView, /hellionDebugger (und im Debug-Build
+  /hellionSeString) sind als private Felder gecached. Plugin-Dispose detached die echte
+  Registrierung, statt mit identischen Args neu zu registrieren — schließt eine latente

+- 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

+  Conflict-Detection blockiert das parallele Laden von ChatTwo, daher kein Namensraum-Konflikt im
+  Live-Betrieb.

+  Lightless-Sync-Muster. 18 Service-Klassen wandern von einem statischen `Plugin.LogProxy`-Locator

+- **HITCH 74 → ~20 ms als Side-Effect.** Der UiBuilder-First-Frame-Lag lag seit v1.4.x stabil bei 74 ms; v1.5.1 wollte ihn in Richtung 7 ms ziehen, fiel als „Hypothese zu optimistisch" durch. Echter Grund: `Plugin.cs:937` push'te `RegularFont` nur wenn `FontsEnabled` true war — die „Mitgelieferte Schrift verwenden"-Logik setzte `FontsEnabled = false` mit, der bundled-Pfad war die ganze v1.5.x-Reihe tot, FFXIVs Axis-Font übernahm und kostete ~50 ms extra. Fix routet `RegularFont` jetzt auch über `UseHellionFont`. Median ~20 ms im 5-Reload-Stresstest (17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine; Windows-Baseline steht aus).
+- **Glyph-Ranges aktivieren sich automatisch beim Sprachwechsel** plus eine One-Shot-Migration für User die schon eine non-Latin-Sprache eingestellt hatten. Neue WarningText unter dem Sprach-Dropdown weist darauf hin, dass FFXIVs Chat-Engine offiziell nur EN/DE/FR/JA-Glyphen rendert — andere Schriften können in der Game-Eingabe Garbled-Output zeigen.

 ## 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 upstream Chat 2 strings (`Language.*.resx`) are not
-  handled here; those go to the upstream Chat 2 project.

 ## 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.)
-- AI-generated code dropped in without disclosure or human review. See [`docs/AI_DISCLOSURE.md`](docs/AI_DISCLOSURE.md)
-  for how I handle AI assistance on my side; I expect comparable transparency from contributors.

 ## 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.

+    **v1.5.6 — Settings Overhaul + Filter & Notification Polish (2026-05-23)**
 
-    Ninth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Hook-layer
-    cluster (DbViewer FTS5 full-text search, ad-block foundation
-    investigation) plus three polish quick-wins.
-
-    - DbViewer full-text search: optional FTS5 index across the full
-      chat history. Built asynchronously on first load after the
-      update with a progress toast. The local page-filter remains
-      available as the default mode. Queries match as exact phrases
-      -- multi-word terms must appear together in order; advanced
-      users can opt into raw FTS5 MATCH syntax by wrapping their own
-      double-quotes.
-    - Custom theme files now auto-reload when edited while the theme
-      is active -- no need to re-click the theme in the picker.
-    - Retention sweep no longer blocks the framework thread, removing
-      the ~194ms mini-hitch per sweep.
-    - Status bar renders correctly at Windows display scaling > 100%.
-    - Receive-suppressed-tells routing investigated this cycle and
-      postponed to v1.5.x: when other plugins suppress tells via
-      CheckMessageHandled, the FFXIV chat pipeline skips the
-      RaptureLogModule.AddMsgSourceEntry path so HellionChat's
-      ContentIdResolverHook does not fire and tell-partner
-      identification breaks. The fix belongs next to the planned
-      ad-block hook layer where the same patch surface comes up.
-    - Internal: messages.Id is declared BLOB but stored as TEXT
-      (Microsoft.Data.Sqlite Guid binding). FTS bulk insert and
-      LoadByGuids match the TEXT storage form on both sides.
-      Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
+    - Settings window reorganised: ten tabs down to seven (General, Appearance, Chat, Window, Channels, Data & Privacy, About). Each tab now uses collapsible sections grouped by control type. Sections start collapsed every time you open a tab — less noise, easier to find what you need.
+    - New sender-name display options under Chat → Messages: separate world-suffix and name-format modes (Full name / First name only / Initials × Never / Other worlds only / Always).
+    - Plugin-only symbols now show a pre-send warning so other players do not get empty boxes (Chat → Messages → "Warn before sending plugin-only symbols").
+    - Separate window opacity for focused vs. inactive chat window (Appearance → Window style → "Inactive window opacity"). The slider above sets the focused value.
+    - Custom notification sound volume slider (General → Sound, and mirrored in Channels → per-tab → Notification). Affects only the three bundled custom sounds; the 16 game sounds are unaffected.
+    - The per-tab regex filter that briefly shipped earlier in this cycle has been removed — FFXIV's built-in blackword filter covers the same need.
+    - All 24 locale files updated for the new section labels and the v1.5.6 control labels (machine translation; native review continues via the Hellion Forge Discord).

-    **v1.4.7 — Backlog Cleanup and Mid-Features (2026-05-13)**
+    **v1.5.5 — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features (2026-05-21)**
 
-    Eighth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. First
-    user-visible feature bundle since v1.4.5 — pinned tell tabs that
-    survive relog, opt-in Honorific glow rendering, and a configurable
-    sidebar.
+    A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
+    banner image and custom notification sounds.
 
-    - TempTell Pin: right-click a TempTell tab in the sidebar to pin
-      it. Pinned tabs survive relog, keep their conversation history
-      (loaded on demand from the message store), and stay bound to
-      the same /tell partner. Hard cap of 5 pinned tabs in a pool
-      separate from the 15-tab auto-tell pool — total ceiling is 20
-      tabs. New 'Pinned' section in the sidebar with its own divider
-      header
-    - Honorific Glow outline now renders when the title carries a
-      Glow colour. Opt-in via Settings → Integrations → 'Render glow
-      outlines (Honorific)' (default off, dodges the per-frame
-      DrawList overhead on low-end hardware). Gradient (Color3 /
-      GradientColourSet / Wave / Pulse) is parsed but rendered
-      statically — a later cycle will port the full animation
-    - Sidebar width is now configurable in Theme & Layout (range
-      44–160 px). Default stays icon-only; widen to fit section
-      headers like 'Active Tells (3)' without truncation
-    - Settings Save no longer pops the chat input back to /tell with
-      a pinned partner — Configuration.UpdateFrom now preserves the
-      runtime CurrentChannel across the persistent-tab merge, and
-      TabSwitched deep-clones the seeded channel instead of sharing
-      the previous tab's UsedChannel
-    - Util/ImGuiUtil.cs DrawArrows IconButton id now uses
-      (id + 1).ToString() instead of the operator-precedence quirk
-      id + 1.ToString() — generated IDs stay numerically stable
-    - Internal: IPluginLogProxy indirection over Dalamud's IPluginLog
-      routes all ~91 Plugin.Log call sites through a testable proxy.
-      MessageStore.Migrate0 can now run in xUnit without loading
-      Dalamud.dll, closing the gap F12.1 left in v1.4.6
-    - Internal: TempTab counter switched from an Interlocked cached
-      field to a derived Tabs.Count(predicate) — pin-state transitions
-      are cold-path and don't need lock-free reads
+    User-visible:
+
+    - Failed tells now raise a warning toast when a message you sent
+      could not be delivered (recipient offline, in an instance, or
+      blocking you). Toggle in Settings, Chat tab.
+    - Per-tab notification sound: each tab can play a sound when a
+      message arrives while you are looking at a different tab. Pick
+      one of the 16 game chat sounds or one of three bundled Hellion
+      sounds, with a preview button to hear it. Off by default,
+      respects the global sound toggle.
+    - The tab rename field in the right-click menu now focuses
+      itself when the menu opens and accepts up to 512 characters,
+      matching the settings-tab rename.
+    - A jump-to-latest button appears in the chat log header while
+      you are scrolled up from the live end.
+    - Map flags and item links can be inserted into the chat input
+      from its right-click menu.
+    - The Hellion Forge fox banner in the first-run wizard and the
+      Information tab is now a real image instead of ASCII art.
+
+    Schema bumped to v18 (additive fields only, no data migration).

-    **v1.4.6 — Code Hygiene and Refactor (2026-05-12)**
+    **v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**
 
-    Maintenance patch. No user-visible behaviour changes; tightens the
-    development feedback loop, fixes two upstream-inherited bugs, and
-    prepares the code for the v1.4.7 backlog cleanup.
+    A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
+    access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
+    accessibility toggle.
 
-    - preflight.sh gains a csharpier reflow check and a markdownlint
-      pass so style drift and markdown violations are caught at the
-      pre-push gate
-    - FontManager fallback catches the full set of atlas-toolkit
-      throws (IO, InvalidOperation, ArgumentException) — a corrupt
-      font config no longer takes down the whole atlas build
-    - BrandingLinks and IntegrationLinks URLs validated on plugin
-      load — a typo in a future URL rotation now throws at startup
-    - Cherry-picked from ChatTwo upstream f35b7d3: Chat.SetChannel
-      no longer leaks the native Utf8String when the linkshell check
-      rejects the channel
-    - Cherry-picked from ChatTwo upstream f35b7d3: Tab.Clone now
-      deep-clones UsedChannel and TellTarget — PopOut and Temp tabs
-      no longer mutate each other's channel state
-    - Active-tab underline scales with DPI and rounds to physical
-      pixels for crisp rendering above 100% scaling
-    - IconButton width parameter no longer subtracts HUD-scaled
-      padding from a raw int (measured width passes through verbatim)
-    - Internal: HellionStyle ChildBgAlpha extracted to a testable
-      helper; Plugin.SaveConfig clones only the temp tabs;
-      SettingsOverview caches the draw-list per frame;
-      Dalamud.Utility.Util surface routed through an IPlatformUtil
-      indirection (MessageStore IsWine probe is now testable in
-      isolation)
-    - Built-in themes: Crystal Nocturne (sapphire and electric
-      magenta over obsidian, by CRYSTALLITE) replaces Moonlit Bloom.
-      Users with Moonlit Bloom selected fall back to Hellion Arctic
-      on first load
+    User-visible:
+
+    - Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms across every
+      Hellion-rendered surface — sidebar, title, buttons, tabs,
+      scrollbar, separators. The window background snaps deliberately
+      so the per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu
+      stays untouched.
+    - New header quick-picker: a palette button left of the cog opens
+      a compact popup with two sections — every built-in and custom
+      theme, and every tab. The active entry carries a check glyph;
+      clicking another switches without closing the popup.
+    - Sidebar icons ease their opacity on hover, and card-mode message
+      borders highlight per tab while the cursor is over their rows.
+      Framerate-independent, so a stalled Wine frame cannot overshoot
+      the animation.
+    - New "Reduce motion" toggle in Theme & Layout disables the
+      crossfade, the hover animations and the unread-tab pulse for
+      users who prefer a static UI.
+
+    Under the hood:
+
+    - Two pure-helper lerp paths (ThemeAbgrCacheLerp, FrameLerp) with
+      xUnit coverage in the Build Suite, plus a ColourUtil.ApplyAlpha
+      alpha modulator. Two new /xlperf self-test steps pin the
+      crossfade and quick-picker contracts.
+
+    No schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.

-    **v1.4.5 — UX and Robustness (2026-05-12)**
+    **v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)**
 
-    Sixth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Chat-log draw
-    failures surface as a notification, the first-run wizard has an
-    explicit "Later" option, the input history clears on plugin reload,
-    and the status bar version slot stops clipping in narrow windows.
+    Multi-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands
+    as a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.
 
-    - Chat window draw errors now show a one-shot notification instead
-      of failing silently — stack trace stays in /xllog
-    - First-run wizard: explicit "Later — keep defaults" button.
-      Closing the X no longer silently accepts the defaults; the wizard
-      reopens on the next plugin load if nothing was picked
-    - InputHistoryService clears on plugin dispose so the previous
-      session's typed commands don't bleed into the next load
-    - Status bar hides the version slot when the chat window is too
-      narrow to fit all five slots without overlap
-    - Internal: explicit session-only Auto-Tell-Tab invariant in
-      Plugin.cs plus a pinning test in the Build-Suite
-    - Internal: FontManager falls back to the system font if the
-      embedded Hellion font resource is missing — logs a Warning
+    User-visible:
+
+    - 24 selectable UI languages (was 2). Catalan, Czech, Danish,
+      Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian,
+      Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese
+      (BR + PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,
+      Ukrainian, Simplified + Traditional Chinese. Sorted by endonym,
+      "None" pinned first. Non-native locales are AI-assisted and
+      flagged for native-speaker review via the Forge Discord.
+    - Bundled Inter Light replaces Exo 2 (SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB). The
+      Inter font ships Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic and
+      Cyrillic Supplement coverage; NotoSansCjkRegular joins as a
+      third merge layer for Hangul and Simplified-Han glyphs the
+      FFXIV Japanese game font does not ship.
+    - First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms (v1.5.2 baseline that
+      held since v1.4.x) to a median of ~20 ms (5-reload sample
+      17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine). The bundled-font path silently
+      fell back to the FFXIV Axis font for the entire v1.5.x series
+      because of an early-return in the draw loop. The fix that
+      routes RegularFont through draw also lands the defer-pattern
+      win the v1.5.1 cycle was reaching for.
+    - ExtraGlyphRanges auto-activates on language change. Korean,
+      ChineseFull and the two new flags (LatinExtended, Greek) toggle
+      on without a manual visit to Fonts and Colours.
+    - New WarningText under the language dropdown notes FFXIV's
+      chat input only fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA character sets.
+      Other languages render in HellionChat but may garble when
+      typed into in-game chat.
+
+    Under the hood:
+
+    - Three-layer font stack: Inter Light primary, FFXIV
+      JapaneseFont merge 1 for kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular
+      merge 2 for everything else CJK.
+    - LanguageOverride enum gains ten locales plus three previously
+      commented out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian as `nb`). New
+      values append to the enum so existing config integers stay
+      stable across update.
+    - Crowdin gap closed: four post-sync ChatTwo keys backfilled
+      into 13 legacy locales with per-key AI markers.
+    - Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the
+      matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag for users already on a
+      non-default language. Settings.Apply auto-activates on
+      change going forward.
+    - Em-dash sweep across the EN source and 18 translations to the
+      house style. Russian and Ukrainian keep the typographic norm.
+
+    Migration v17 stays. UseHellionFont users transition from Exo 2
+    to Inter Light transparently on first reload.
