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.

+- **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.

+- **Fehlgeschlagener Tell.** Geht ein gesendeter Tell nicht durch (Empfänger offline, in einer Instanz oder blockiert), erscheint jetzt ein Warn-Toast statt dass die Systemmeldung durchrauscht. Abschaltbar in den Einstellungen unter Chat.
+- **Ton pro Tab.** Jeder Chat-Tab kann einen Benachrichtigungston spielen, wenn eine Nachricht eintrifft, während ein anderer Tab aktiv ist. Zur Wahl stehen die 16 Spiel-Chat-Sounds oder drei mitgelieferte Hellion-Sounds, mit einem Vorhör-Knopf. Standardmäßig aus, hört auf den globalen Sound-Schalter.
+- **Tab umbenennen.** Das Umbenennen-Feld im Rechtsklick-Menü fokussiert sich beim Öffnen von selbst und nimmt jetzt bis zu 512 Zeichen.
+- **Sprung ans Ende.** In der Chat-Kopfleiste erscheint ein Knopf, sobald man vom aktuellen Ende weggescrollt ist. Ein Klick springt zurück zur jüngsten Nachricht.
+- **Karten- und Item-Links.** Kartenmarkierung und verlinktes Item lassen sich aus dem Rechtsklick-Menü der Chat-Eingabe einfügen.
+- **Fuchs-Banner.** Das Hellion-Forge-Fuchs-Motiv im Einrichtungs-Assistenten und im Informations-Tab ist jetzt ein echtes Bild statt ASCII-Kunst.

+
+    A backlog-sync cycle: inherited tab-feature items plus a new fox
+    banner image and custom notification sounds.
+
+    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).
+
+    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

+
+    **v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**
+
+    A polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab
+    access, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an
+    accessibility toggle.
+
+    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.

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

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

-    **v1.5.1 — 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.
-
-    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).
-
-    ---
-
-    **v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**
-
-    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.
-
-    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.
-
-    Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
-
-    Based on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).

-
-    **v1.4.10 — Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)**
-
-    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.
-
-    - 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).

+## Hellion Chat 1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)
+
+A polish cycle of three P3 items. Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms
+across every Hellion-rendered surface; the window background snaps deliberately so the
+per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu stays intact. A new header
+quick-picker — a palette button left of the cog — opens a compact popup for switching
+themes and tabs without opening Settings. Sidebar icons and card-mode message borders
+gain framerate-independent hover animations. A new "Reduce motion" toggle in Theme &
+Layout disables the crossfade, hover animations and unread-tab pulse for accessibility.
+No schema bump, migration v17 stays.

+## Hellion Chat 1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)
+
+Multi-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands as a side effect of a font-stack
+rewrite. The bundled UI font swaps from Exo 2 to Inter Light. HellionChat now ships strings and
+renderable glyph coverage for 24 languages.
+
+### User-visible
+
+- Twenty-four selectable UI languages: Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French,
+  German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil),
+  Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Simplified
+  Chinese, Traditional Chinese. The dropdown sorts alphabetically by endonym, "None" pinned first.
+  Non-native translations are AI-assisted and flagged for community native-speaker review via the
+  Hellion Forge Discord.
+- Bundled **Inter Light** replaces Exo 2 as the in-plugin font. Wider European coverage (Latin
+  Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic, Cyrillic Supplement) so Czech, Polish, Romanian, Turkish,
+  Hungarian, Greek and Ukrainian render without manual font configuration. SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB.
+- **NotoSansCjkRegular fallback** layer added as a merge-on-top so Hangul, Simplified-Chinese
+  characters specific to the post-1956 reform, and other CJK glyphs the FFXIV Japanese game font
+  does not ship now render correctly inside the HellionChat UI.
+- First-frame **HITCH dropped from ~74 ms** (the v1.5.2 baseline that has held since v1.4.x) to a
+  **median of ~20 ms** (5-reload sample: 23.6 / 20.4 / 17.9 / 20.1 / 19.2 ms, Linux/Wine; Windows
+  baseline pending Jin's verification per the cross-platform-pflicht). The bundled-font path
+  silently fell back to the FFXIV Axis game 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 activates automatically** when the user picks a language that needs a non-Latin
+  script. Selecting Korean enables the Korean glyph range and rebuilds the atlas without a manual
+  toggle in Fonts & Colours.
+- New **WarningText under the language dropdown** notes that FFXIV's own chat input only fully
+  supports EN, DE, FR and JA character sets. Other languages render inside HellionChat but may
+  garble when typed into in-game chat or sent as messages.
+
+### Under the hood
+
+- Three-layer font stack in `FontManager.BuildRegularFontHandle` and `BuildItalicFontHandle`:
+  Inter Light (or the user-selected global font) as primary, FFXIV JapaneseFont as merge 1 for
+  native FFXIV kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular as merge 2 for everything else CJK.
+- Two new `ExtraGlyphRanges` flags: `LatinExtended` (U+0100-U+024F) and `Greek` (U+0370-U+03FF +
+  U+1F00-U+1FFF). Implemented as `builder.AddChar` pair lists in `SetUpRanges` (no managed-pointer
+  pinning needed).
+- `LanguageOverride` enum gains ten locales (Catalan, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian,
+  Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Turkish, Ukrainian) plus three previously
+  commented-out entries (Italian, Korean, Norwegian re-enabled with code `nb` instead of `no`).
+  New values are appended to the enum to keep existing user-config integer serialisation stable.
+- **Crowdin gap closed:** four ChatTwo keys added after the last community sync
+  (`Options_ColorSelectedInputChannelButton_Name` / `_Description`,
+  `Options_HideInNewGamePlusMenu_Name` / `_Description`) are now backfilled into the thirteen
+  legacy Crowdin locales with per-key AI-translated markers.
+- Plugin init runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the matching `ExtraGlyphRanges` flag based on
+  the user's current `LanguageOverride`. An update from v1.5.2 picks up the new coverage without
+  the user having to toggle the language twice.
+- `Plugin.cs:937` draw-path fixed: `RegularFont` is now pushed whenever **either** `FontsEnabled`
+  **or** `UseHellionFont` is on. The previous `Config.FontsEnabled`-only check meant the bundled
+  font path was silently dead whenever `FontsAndColours.cs:50` force-set `FontsEnabled = false` on
+  the UseHellionFont-toggle. Source of the HITCH win.
+- `ExtraGlyphRanges` settings panel is now reachable in **all** UseHellionFont / FontsEnabled
+  combinations. The bundled-font branch used to short-circuit past it.
+- **Resource bundle split:** fork-added strings live in `HellionStrings.resx` (24 locales, 328
+  keys each) alongside the ChatTwo-Crowdin-heritage `Language.resx` (24 locales, 456 keys each).
+  The `Language` siblings for the ten brand-new locales and Greek carry a Hellion Forge maintainer
+  header that points reviewers at the Discord rather than the standalone-hosted Gitea.
+- **Em-dash sweep** across the EN source and 18 translations: in-prose em-dashes replaced with
+  period or colon per the house style guide. Russian and Ukrainian keep their typographic norm
+  where the em-dash is orthographically required (subject-predicate separator).
+- **Bundled font asset rotation:** `HellionFont.ttf` (Exo 2) plus its OFL notice removed from
+  `Resources/`. `Inter-Light.ttf` plus `Inter-OFL.txt` take their place. `FontManager`
+  references rename to `BundledFontBytes` / `TryGetBundledFontBytes()` for clarity (config field
+  `UseHellionFont` keeps its name so existing user configs deserialize cleanly).
+
+### Migration
+
+- Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).
+- Existing `UseHellionFont = true` users transition transparently from Exo 2 to Inter Light on
+  first reload.
+- Existing users with `LanguageOverride != None` get their matching `ExtraGlyphRanges` flag set
+  on the first plugin init after the v1.5.3 update (Plugin.cs LoadAsync migration step).
+
+### Reserved for follow-up cycles
+
+- Native-speaker review pass for AI-assisted translations in the 13 legacy Crowdin locales (ca,
+  es, fr, it, ja, ko, nl, pt-BR, ro, ru, sv, zh-Hans, zh-Hant) — corrections via the Hellion
+  Forge Discord.

+of the backlog-sync wave, covering filter improvements, notification refinements, and UI polish
+items that did not fit the v1.5.5 bundle. Plugin Integrations Wave 2-6 (Context-Menu,
+NotificationMaster, Moodles, ExtraChat, XIVIM Quick-DM) follows.

+Portuguese (Portugal), Turkish and Ukrainian alongside the existing Crowdin-heritage locales, all
+AI-translated and flagged for community review. Bundled font swaps from Exo 2 to **Inter Light**
+for wider European glyph coverage (Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic, Cyrillic Supplement);
+**NotoSansCjkRegular** joins as a third merge layer so Hangul and Simplified-Chinese-specific Han
+glyphs render correctly inside the HellionChat UI.
+
+First-frame HITCH dropped from **~74 ms 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. Plugin init runs a one-shot migration that ORs
+the required flag into the saved config for users updating from v1.5.2 with a non-default language
+already selected. 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 into in-game chat.
+
+Migration v17 stays. `LanguageOverride` enum grows by ten locales plus three previously
+commented-out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian with code `nb`); all new values append to keep existing
+user-config integer serialisation stable.
