+##   Hinweis:

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).

+- **Sanfte Hover-Animationen.** Sidebar-Icons faden bei Hover sanft von gedimmt auf volle Deckkraft. Card-Mode-Trennlinien heben sich beim Überfahren einer Zeile für den ganzen Tab dezent ab. Beides framerate-unabhängig gerechnet, also auch bei Wine-Stall-Frames stabil.
+- **Bewegung reduzieren.** Neuer Toggle im Tab für Theme und Layout. Er deaktiviert Crossfade, Hover-Animationen und das Pulsieren ungelesener Tabs für alle, die eine statische Oberfläche bevorzugen.
+- Drei P3-Items plus der Accessibility-Toggle, kein Schema-Bump, keine Migration. Eine kleine Polish-Welle vor den größeren Cycles.

Jeder Tab gliedert sich jetzt in Sektionen, die beim Reingehen eingeklappt sind. Controls innerhalb einer Sektion sind nach Typ gruppiert. Tabs-Tab im Per-Tab-Panel ebenfalls in Sub-Sektionen aufgeteilt.

+- **Pre-Send-Warnung für Plugin-Symbole** — beim Senden einer Nachricht mit Symbolen, die nur HellionChat-User sehen, kommt eine Warnung. Verhindert leere Kästchen bei anderen.
+- **Getrennte Fenster-Deckkraft** — Aktiv vs. Inaktiv. Aktiv wie bisher; Inaktiv über einen zweiten Slider unter Aussehen → Fenster-Stil.
+- **Lautstärke für eigene Notification-Sounds** — Slider in Allgemein → Sound, im Kanäle-Tab pro Tab nochmal angezeigt. Wirkt nur auf die drei mitgelieferten Custom-Sounds, die 16 Game-Sounds bleiben unverändert.
+- **Regex-Filter pro Tab gestrichen** — kurz dabei, dann verworfen: der eingebaute FFXIV-Blackword-Filter deckt das ab.
+- **Lokalisierung erweitert** — neue Section-Titel und v1.5.6-Controls in allen 24 Sprachen, maschinell übersetzt. Native-Review läuft weiter über den Hellion Forge Discord.

+- **Deine Einstellungen werden zurückgesetzt.** Neun Zyklen Umbau haben gespeicherte Werte hinterlassen, die auf Oberflächen zeigen, die es nicht mehr gibt. Neu anzufangen ist der einzige Weg, dass alle dieselben Vorgaben haben. **Dein Nachrichtenverlauf bleibt unberührt**, der liegt in einer eigenen Datenbank. Die alten Einstellungen liegen als `HellionChat.json.pre-2.0.0.bak` daneben.
+- **Behoben, und mehrere davon haben Daten verloren oder versteckt:** Die rückwirkende Bereinigung ließ sich nie anwenden. Das Verdichten der Datenbank schlug fehl und meldete danach, es sei nichts gelöscht worden, während alles weg war. Gelöschte Nachrichten blieben im Suchindex. Angepinnte Flüster-Tabs kamen eine ganze Sitzung lang leer hoch. Der Export schrieb ungültiges JSON. Ein Auskoppelfenster mit Titelleiste ließ sich nicht schließen. Ein 403 eines Emote-Dienstes riss alle 65 funktionierenden Emotes mit.
+- **Was sich am Speichern ändert:** Das Kanalraster entscheidet jetzt allein. Bisher griff die Unbekannt-Absicherung auch bei bekannten Kanälen, ein abgewählter Kanal wurde also trotzdem geschrieben. Wen das betraf, der speichert ab jetzt weniger. Nichts in der Datenbank wird angefasst.
+- **Jedes Fenster zeichnet das Plugin selbst** und alle sprechen eine Sprache: Struktur trägt die Typografie, alles Drückbare bekommt eine Fläche, jede Farbe wird gegen ihren Untergrund gemessen. Dazu benannte Typo-Rollen, Zeitstempel in eigener Spalte, kursive Systemmeldungen.
+- **Wieder erreichbar:** Export, Tab-Editor, Datenbankpflege und Anpinnen hatten beim Umbau ihre Zugänge verloren. Der Screenshot-Modus erreichte eine von vier Flächen mit Tab-Namen, jetzt alle vier. Der DSGVO-Hinweis beim Profil "Volle Historie" war in 25 Sprachen übersetzt und seit Mai unsichtbar.
+- **Gestrichen:** sechs Einstellungen mit Regler, gespeichertem Wert und ohne jeden Leser. Ein Regex-Filter pro Tab, den der spieleigene Wortfilter abdeckt. Ein Assistenten-Häkchen, das abgefragt, als angewendet gemeldet und nie gelesen wurde.
+- **Neu:** Emote-Tab im Standard-Layout (Testerwunsch), Orts- und Serverzeit in der Statusleiste, Screenshot-Modus aus der Eingabezeile erreichbar, `/hellion wizard`, ein Stil-Labor unter `/hellion lab`, und ein Hinweis im Assistenten, dass Plugins in FFXIV eine Grauzone sind und nicht in öffentliche Kanäle gehören.

+- **MessagePack von 3.1.4 auf 3.1.7.** Das Paket serialisiert die Nachrichten-Payloads in der lokalen Datenbank. Die Meldungen betreffen die Rekursionstiefe in `Skip` und einen Fehler in der LZ4-Dekomprimierung, beide nur über präparierte Eingaben erreichbar. Das Plugin schreibt und liest ausschließlich seine eigenen Bytes in einer lokalen Datei, praktisch bräuchte ein Angreifer also schon Schreibzugriff darauf. Trotzdem gehoben, weil es nichts kostet.
+- **Der Release-Workflow hängt sein Archiv wieder selbst an.** Bei 2.0.0 lief der Build sauber durch und scheiterte dann am Veröffentlichen, weshalb dieses Release von Hand fertiggestellt werden musste.

Das Plugin macht jetzt **gar keine ausgehenden Netzwerkaufrufe** mehr. Gespeicherte Nachrichten mit Emotes bleiben lesbar und zeigen den getippten Code.

Jetzt sind es 367 Zeichen, überall dieselben.

+Zwei Meldungen aus dem Test, beide in derselben Ecke: was ein eintreffendes Flüstern mit dem macht, was du gerade tust — und was du mit einem Tab machen kannst, wenn er erst einmal da ist.
+
+- **Ein Flüstern, das ankam während du geschrieben hast, hat dir die Tastatur weggenommen.** Der Tab wechselte unter dir weg, und in diesem Spiel heißt das, dass die nächsten Tasten deine Figur bewegen statt Text zu schreiben. Schlimmer: Der halb getippte Satz konnte beim Falschen landen. Was du tippst gehört dem Fenster, der Empfänger wird aber von dem Tab gelesen, der beim Enter gerade aktiv ist. Solange du an einer Zeile schreibst, springt jetzt nichts mehr — in keinem Modus. Der Tab taucht trotzdem auf und wartet mit seinem Ungelesen-Punkt.
+- **Ein Flüster-Tab ließ sich überhaupt nicht schließen.** Der Eintrag ging beim Fenster-Neubau in 2.0.0 verloren: Er lebte im alten Menü, und das neue hat Umbenennen, Töne, Herauslösen und Anheften zurückgebracht, das Schließen aber nie. Flüster-Tabs sind absichtlich aus dem Einstellungs-Editor ausgenommen, mit einem Verweis auf das Kontextmenü — das sie ebenfalls nicht schließen konnte. Jetzt per Rechtsklick auf jedem Tab. Bei einem angehefteten Flüster-Tab musst du erst die Anheftung lösen, damit ein Fehlklick kein Gespräch beendet, das du behalten wolltest.
+- **Zwei Einstellungen entschieden, wo ein Flüstern aufgeht, und die ältere gewann immer.** "Neue /tell-Tabs direkt als Pop-out öffnen" feuerte beim Anlegen des Tabs, einen Tick bevor der Modus darunter überhaupt gefragt wurde — deshalb sah der aus, als täte er nichts. Beide sind jetzt eine. Deine bisherige Wahl wird übernommen.
+- **"Aus" ist aus dieser Auswahl verschwunden.** Es hat nie verhindert, dass ein Flüster-Tab entsteht, das macht der Schalter weiter oben. Es hat nur den Sprung dorthin unterbunden, und genau dafür ist der Schalter darunter da.
+- **Einen Tab zu schließen konnte ein Pop-out beschädigen, in dem du gerade warst.** Der Fokus sprang immer auf den ersten Tab der Liste, auch wenn der in einem eigenen Fenster offen war, und nahm ihm dabei seine Flüster-Bindung.
+- **Kleinkram.** "Pop Out" im Kontextmenü war auf jedem Client englisch, die Modusnamen ebenfalls. Der Hinweis zum Anheft-Limit verwies auf eine Funktion, die im Mai entfernt wurde. Im Spanischen stand ein Wort, das es nicht gibt, im Griechischen ein unübersetztes, im europäischen Portugiesisch eines, das seinem eigenen Knopf widersprach. Und segmentierte Einstellungszeilen haben lange Beschriftungen abgeschnitten.

Unter Einstellungen → Fenster → Fenster-Style gibt es jetzt „Statusleiste anzeigen". Aus, und der Chat nimmt den Platz. Bleibt für alle an, bis du es ausschaltest, von selbst ändert sich nichts. Eines solltest du wissen: Kamera und Schloss wohnen in dieser Reihe. Ohne Leiste zeigen Screenshot-Modus und Privatsphäre-Filter nichts mehr an.
+- **Vorgeschlagen von Ashy ^.^, und das steht auch dran.** Der Schalter trägt eine Zeile „Vorgeschlagen von" unter sich. Wer etwas vorschlägt, soll den eigenen Namen dort sehen, wo die Funktion gelandet ist, nicht in einem Changelog, das niemand öffnet. Die Zeile ist in alle 25 Sprachen übersetzt und bereit für den nächsten Vorschlag.

 description: |-
-    Chat replacement for FINAL FANTASY XIV with privacy controls built around
+    A chat window that stores your own conversations and nothing else. Public chat, NPC dialogue, system messages and battle logs stay out of the database until you switch them on.
-    EU, US and JP data-protection rules.
 
-    By default only your own conversations are stored. Public chat, NPC
+    Retention per channel, retroactive wipe, export to Markdown, JSON or CSV. Setup wizard with four profiles. 25 languages. Its own config and database.
-    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.
 
-    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
-
-    Based on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna (EUPL-1.2).

 changelog: |-
-    **v1.4.9 — Plugin-Load Render Polish (2026-05-15)**
+    **v2.0.6 — Status bar, optional (2026-09-20)**
 
-    Tenth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. First-frame
+    One question from the Discord, small enough to ship on its own: are the pills along the bottom edge fixed in the code? They were.
-    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
+    - **The status bar can be switched off.** The row at the bottom of the chat window (channel, privacy state, message counts, tells, clock, version) had no switch. Settings → Window → Window style has "Show status bar" now. Off, the chat body takes the space; on for everyone until you turn it off, so nothing changes by itself. One thing to know: the camera and the lock live in that row, so with the bar hidden, screenshot mode and the privacy filter give no visible sign.
-      ChatLogWindow skip their first Draw and run one frame later
+    - **Suggested by Ashy ^.^, and it says so.** The toggle carries a "Suggested by" line under it. Whoever proposes a feature should see their name where the feature lives, not in a changelog they will never open. The line is translated into all 25 languages and is a generic key, ready for the next suggestion.
-      (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).

-    **v1.4.8 — Hook-Layer and Polish Quick-Wins (2026-05-14)**
+    **v2.0.5 — Focus, and a way out (2026-08-23)**
 
-    Ninth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. Hook-layer
+    Two tester reports, both about the same corner: what a tell does to what you were doing, and what you can do about a tab once it exists.
-    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
+    - **A tell arriving while you were typing took the keyboard.** The tab switched under you, and in this game that means the next thing you type walks your character around. It could also send your sentence to the wrong person: what you have typed belongs to the window, while the recipient is read off whichever tab is active when you press Enter — so a line meant for one person could leave addressed to whoever had just written. Nothing is revealed now while you are mid-sentence, in any mode. The tab still appears with its unread mark and waits for you.
-      chat history. Built asynchronously on first load after the
+    - **A tell tab could not be closed.** The entry was lost in the 2.0.0 window rebuild: it lived in the old menu, and the rebuilt one restored renaming, sounds, pop-outs and pinning but not this. Tell tabs are kept out of the settings editor on purpose, with a note pointing at the context menu — which could not close them either. Right-click any tab to close it. A pinned tell tab asks you to unpin it first, so one misclick cannot end a conversation you meant to keep.
-      update with a progress toast. The local page-filter remains
+    - **Two settings decided where a tell opens, and the older one always won.** "Open new /tell tabs as a pop-out" fired when the tab was created, a tick before the mode below it was ever asked — which is why that mode looked like it did nothing. They are one setting now and your existing choice carries over. "Off" went with them: it never stopped tell tabs from being created, that is the switch further up, it only stopped the jump to them, which is what the switch below it does.
-      available as the default mode. Queries match as exact phrases
+    - **Closing a tab could break a pop-out you were using.** Re-anchoring always jumped to the first tab in the list, even when that tab was open in its own window, and stripped its tell binding on the way there.
-      -- multi-word terms must appear together in order; advanced
+    - **Smaller things.** "Pop Out" in the context menu was English on every client, as were the tell-open modes. The pinned-tab limit still pointed at a feature removed in May. Spanish had a word that does not exist, Greek had an untranslated one, Portuguese contradicted its own button. Segmented settings rows cut long labels in half. The last compiler warning in the project is gone.
-      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).

-    **v1.4.7 — Backlog Cleanup and Mid-Features (2026-05-13)**
+    **v2.0.4 — Housekeeping (2026-08-20)**
 
-    Eighth sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series. First
+    Nothing changes in how the plugin behaves. Two pieces of tidying that were overdue.
-    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
+    - **The installer description was long, and one line of it was wrong.** It ran to 908 characters and opened by naming a category instead of saying what the plugin does. It also claimed 24 interface languages when there are 25, and the two manifests carried different one-line summaries, so the store listing and the plugin details showed different sentences.
-      it. Pinned tabs survive relog, keep their conversation history
+    - **30 translation keys for the webinterface are gone.** That feature, its HTTP routes and its frontend left the code in May; the strings stayed behind in all 25 languages, along with a generated property for each. Every key was checked against the whole repository before anything was removed.
-      (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
-

-    **v1.4.6 — Code Hygiene and Refactor (2026-05-12)**
+    **v2.0.3 — Pop-out context menu, screenshot mode (2026-08-20)**
 
-    Maintenance patch. No user-visible behaviour changes; tightens the
+    - **The context menu never opened in a pop-out window.** Right-clicking a name or an item there did nothing at all. Every chat surface shares one popup state, and whichever window drew first cleared the menu it had not opened before the pop-out got its turn. The menu now stays with the window the click came from.
-    development feedback loop, fixes two upstream-inherited bugs, and
+    - **Screenshot mode could not be turned off.** It is a saved setting, but neither of its two toggles wrote the change to the config file, so switching it off never survived a reload and the mode came back on at every plugin load. Both toggles save now. If it is stuck on for you, one click off is enough.
-    prepares the code for the v1.4.7 backlog cleanup.
+    - **Text the game colours itself could render invisible.** Some of those colours arrive without an alpha byte, and the byte order swap then left them fully transparent.
 
-    - 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
