chore(deps): update dependency microsoft.data.sqlite to 10.0.8

Split fork-added keys into a dedicated HellionStrings resource bundle separate
    from the Language.*.resx Chat-2 Crowdin heritage.

  - Add HellionStrings.resx (EN source, 328 keys) and HellionStrings.Designer.cs
  - Add 22 HellionStrings.<code>.resx variants: ca, cs, da, de, es, fi, fr, hu, it,
    ja, ko, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, ru, sv, tr, uk, zh-Hans, zh-Hant
  - Add matching Language.<code>.resx siblings for the new locales with the
    Hellion Forge maintainer header
  - FR pass: align labels with the rest of the UI
    (Confidentialité, Visualiseur, Violet indigo)

+    **v1.5.2 — First-Run Wizard Rework (2026-05-18)**
+
+    UX patch. The first-run wizard becomes a four-step flow with a
+    new Roleplay privacy profile and a power-settings step that
+    surfaces previously-hidden defaults. Existing v1.5.1 users see
+    the new wizard once on first v1.5.2 boot.
+
+    What changes user-visible:
+
+    - Wizard navigation: Welcome → Privacy profile → Power settings
+      → Done. Forge-Bronze pagination dots, dedicated stage for the
+      power settings so they are no longer buried in Settings.
+    - Fourth privacy profile "Roleplay": Privacy-First plus Say and
+      both emote types, with a 30-day window for Say and a 90-day
+      window for emotes. Shout, Yell and Novice Network stay out.
+    - Privacy picker becomes a 2x2 grid. Casual stays the
+      recommended option with a ★ marker.
+    - Power-settings step covers Load Previous Session, Filter
+      Include Previous Sessions, Auto-Tell-Tabs History Preload,
+      Compact Density, Prettier Timestamps and a built-in theme
+      picker. All six map to existing Configuration fields — no new
+      settings introduced.
+    - Staged commit: the wizard only writes to Config on the Finish
+      step. Decide-later or X-close at any point leaves the existing
+      config untouched.
+    - Inline test hint on the done step: "type /tell <Player Name>
+      into chat" surfaces the auto-tell-tab spawn mechanism.
+    - Window starts at 720x480 (was 900x560) and can shrink to
+      600x400; Step 1 keeps the fox banner in a folded TreeNode so
+      the onboarding copy stays primary.
+    - Existing users get the new wizard surfaced once on first boot
+      after the update via the new WizardLastShownVersion config
+      field. Future cycles bump the constant only when the wizard
+      itself changes shape.
+
+    Under the hood:
+
+    - WizardStateSmokeStep added to /xlperf alongside the FontManager
+      and ThemeSwitch self-tests.
+    - Twelve new pure-helper xUnit Facts in the Build Suite cover
+      all four privacy profile sets and their retention overrides.
+
+    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump). The Configuration grows
+    one optional string field (WizardLastShownVersion) which
+    defaults to empty for legacy users.
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

+
+    **v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**
+
+    Hybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.
+
+    What changes under the hood:
+
+    - 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).
+
+    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.
+
+    User-visible:
+
+    - 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.
+
+    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.

-
-    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).

-
-    **v1.4.8 — Hook-Layer and Polish Quick-Wins (2026-05-14)**
-
-    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).

-    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

+# 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.

+| `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-outline.txt`           | Compact outline paw with `^` claw marks (non-retractable claws are a fox-vs-cat tell).    |

+### Project status (pre-v1.5.2, kept for context)
+
+**Version 1.5.1** — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature. The FontManager moves from the
+inherited Chat 2 anti-pattern (null! fields + a separate BuildFonts method) to a hybrid model where
+the game fonts and FontAwesome are init-only handles and only the user-configurable delegate fonts
+stay mutable. All five handles register inside a single `IFontAtlas.SuppressAutoRebuild` block in
+the ctor, so the font atlas builds once per plugin load instead of four to five times. FontAwesome
+itself is now Dalamud's `UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle` rather than a custom delegate slot.
+Live font-setting changes go through `RebuildDelegateFonts()` and no longer require a plugin reload.
+Plus an embedded Hellion Forge signature (drawn by Julia Moon) appears as a fox-head silhouette in
+the `/xllog` bootstrap banner and a full fox in the First-Run Wizard and Settings → Information tab.
+
+The Honorific full-gradient port that was originally scheduled for v1.5.1 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.
+
+The 10× HITCH cut targeted from the v1.5.0 cross-plugin baseline (Lightless / XIVInstantMessenger
+defer their font-atlas build to land at ~7 ms; Chat 2 + HellionChat were ~75 ms) did not land — the
+cost lives in the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build. A first-frame render
+investigation is reserved for a later cycle.
+
+**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
