Merge branch 'feature/v1.5.5'

Adds three embedded WAV files as additional notification sound choices
(ids 17-19) alongside the existing 16 game sounds. Playback via NAudio
WaveOutEvent/WinMM, which works correctly on Wine/Linux.

+- **Vier Steps statt Single-Page.** Der First-Run-Wizard öffnet jetzt in vier Bühnen: Willkommen → Privacy-Profil → Power-Settings → Fertig. Pagination-Dots in Forge-Bronze oben rechts, Back/Skip/Next im Footer. Standardgröße 720×480 (Min 600×400) und der Fuchs-Banner sitzt als zugeklappter TreeNode oben in Step 1, damit die Einleitung im Fokus bleibt.
+- **Neues Privacy-Profil „Roleplay".** Datensparsamkeit plus Sagen und beide Emote-Typen für Story-Logs. Schreien und Rufen bleiben außen vor, Public-Distance-Lärm von Fremden ist kein Story-Inhalt. Aufbewahrung: Sagen 30 Tage, Emotes 90 Tage. Privacy-Picker wird zum 2×2-Grid, Casual bleibt mit ★-Marker als Empfehlung.
+- **Power-Settings sichtbar.** Bislang versteckte Defaults bekommen eine eigene Bühne: Vorherige Session laden, Filter inkl. alter Messages, N Tell-Messages vorladen, Compact-Density, Prettier-Timestamps und Theme-Picker für die 10 Built-in-Themes. Keine neuen Settings, nur das Bestehende sauber sichtbar.
+- **Staged-Commit und Test-Hint auf der Fertig-Bühne.** Auswahl wird erst beim Klick auf „Fertig ✓" geschrieben. „Später entscheiden" oder X-Close lässt die bestehende Config unangetastet, ein nicht angefasster Step behält die alten Werte. Direkt darunter sichtbar: „Tipp /tell <Spielername>", plus die aktuelle Preload-Zahl aus Step 3 als Hinweis auf den Auto-Tell-Tab-Spawn.
+- **Bestehende User sehen den neuen Wizard einmal.** Wer schon v1.5.1 hatte, bekommt den Multi-Step-Flow beim ersten v1.5.2-Boot aufgepoppt. Neues Config-Feld `WizardLastShownVersion` triggert das einmalig pro Wizard-Rework; Skip oder Finish reicht und danach öffnet er nicht mehr automatisch.
+- **Unter der Haube.** Pure-Helper-Tests für alle vier Profile-Sets in der Build-Suite (zwölf neue Facts), plus ein WizardStateSmokeStep für `/xlperf`. Migration v17 bleibt, nur ein optionales Config-Feld kommt dazu.

+versionsnatur: "Localisation + Font-Stack"

+- **24 wählbare UI-Sprachen.** Aus dem ursprünglich nur als FR-Lokalisierung geplanten Cycle ist eine breite Welle geworden: Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese (BR), Portuguese (PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese. Dropdown sortiert alphabetisch nach Endonym, „None" oben angepinnt. Nicht-native Übersetzungen sind AI-assisted und für Community-Review im Forge-Discord markiert.
+- **Inter Light statt Exo 2 als bundled Schrift.** Plus NotoSansCjkRegular als dritte Merge-Schicht. Damit deckt der Stack Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic, Cyrillic Supplement und CJK (inkl. Hangul, Simplified-Han nach Reform) ab — die nicht-vanilla-FFXIV-Sprachen waren mit Exo 2 nicht lesbar.
+- **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.
+- **Unter der Haube.** Drei-Layer-Font-Stack, zwei neue ExtraGlyphRanges-Flags (`LatinExtended`, `Greek`), `LanguageOverride`-Enum wächst um zehn Locales plus drei reaktivierte (Italian, Korean, Norwegian mit `nb`). Append-only damit User-Configs stabil bleiben. Migration v17 bleibt.

+- **Theme-Crossfade.** Theme-Wechsel blenden jetzt sanft über rund 300 ms ineinander, statt hart umzuschalten. Alle Hellion-Flächen gleiten mit: Sidebar, Titel, Buttons, Tabs, Scrollbar, Trennlinien. Der Fenster-Hintergrund snappt bewusst weiter, damit das Per-Window-Deckkraft-Setting aus Dalamuds Pinning-Menü unangetastet bleibt.
+- **Header-Quick-Picker.** Neuer Paletten-Button links vom Zahnrad im Chat-Header. Ein Klick öffnet ein kompaktes Popup mit zwei Sektionen: alle Built-in- und Custom-Themes sowie alle Tabs. Der aktive Eintrag trägt ein Häkchen, ein Klick wechselt ohne das Popup zu schließen. So lassen sich mehrere Wechsel hintereinander erledigen, ohne den Umweg über die Einstellungen.
+- **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.

-    **v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**
+    **v1.5.5 — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features (2026-05-21)**
 
-    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.
+    A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
+    banner image and custom notification sounds.
 
     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.
+    - 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.
 
-    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.
+    Schema bumped to v18 (additive fields only, no data migration).

-    **v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**
+    **v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**
 
-    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.
-
-    What changes under the hood:
-
-    - 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.
+    A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
+    access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
+    accessibility toggle.
 
     User-visible:
 
-    - 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.
+    - 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.
 
-    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
+    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.

-    **v1.4.10 — Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)**
+    **v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)**
 
-    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.
+    Multi-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands
+    as a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.
 
-    - 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).
+    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.

-    **v1.4.9 — Plugin-Load Render Polish (2026-05-15)**
+    **v1.5.2 — First-Run Wizard Rework (2026-05-18)**
 
-    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.
+    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.
 
-    - 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).
+    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.

 ## Project Status
 
+**Version 1.5.5** — Upstream-Sync Tab-Features. Failed tells now raise a warning toast
+when a message could not be delivered (recipient offline, in an instance, or blocking
+you). Per-tab notification sounds let each tab play one of the 16 game chat sounds or
+three bundled Hellion sounds when a message arrives on a background tab, with a
+preview button. The tab rename field in the right-click menu auto-focuses on open and
+accepts up to 512 characters. A jump-to-latest button appears in the chat log header
+while scrolled up from the live end. Map-flag and item-link insertion is available from
+the chat input right-click menu. The Hellion Forge fox banner in the first-run wizard
+and the Information tab is now a real image. Schema bumped to v18, additive fields
+only, no data migration.

+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) as a side effect: the bundled-font path was silently falling back to the
+FFXIV Axis game font for the entire v1.5.x series because of an early-return in `Plugin.cs:937`.
+The fix routes `RegularFont` through draw whenever either `FontsEnabled` or `UseHellionFont` is on,
+and lands the defer-pattern win v1.5.1 was reaching for. `ExtraGlyphRanges` auto-activates the
+matching flag on language change; two new flags (`LatinExtended`, `Greek`) join the existing set.
+A WarningText under the language dropdown notes that FFXIV's own chat input only fully supports
+EN/DE/FR/JA — other languages may garble when typed in-game. Migration v17 stays.

+
+**Version 1.5.2** — First-Run Wizard Rework. The single-page wizard becomes a four-step
+staged-commit flow (Welcome → Privacy → Power Settings → Done). The privacy picker becomes a 2×2
+grid with a fourth profile "Roleplay" that extends Privacy-First with `Say` and both emote types
+under a 30-/90-day retention window. A power-settings stage surfaces six previously-hidden
+`Configuration` defaults in one place without introducing any new settings. The wizard window
+shrinks to 720×480 default (was 900×560, MinimumSize 600×400) after smoke feedback and Step 1
+keeps the fox banner in a folded TreeNode so the onboarding copy stays primary. Existing v1.5.1
+users see the new flow once on first v1.5.2 boot via a new `WizardLastShownVersion` config marker.
+Under the hood: a `WizardStateSmokeStep` joins `/xlperf`, the Build Suite gains twelve pure-helper
+xUnit Facts pinning all four privacy profile sets and the new Roleplay retention overrides.
+Migration v17 stays — `Configuration` only grows one optional string field.
