    Hellion Chat 1.2.0 — Layout Refresh

    Second UI cycle: tab layouts modernised in both modes, a new
    bottom status bar, card-rows as default message render, and
    Auto-Tell tabs that you can finally tell apart at a glance.

    Sidebar (icon-only, fixed 44 px):

    • Tab name on hover-tooltip, vertical accent pill on the
      active tab, child background no longer paints the top
      padding area.
    • Per-tab custom icons via Settings → Tabs.
    • Auto-Tell tabs: each partner gets a hashed icon (envelope/
      star/heart/bell/bookmark/flag/fire) plus hashed color
      (12-color palette) — 84 distinct combinations.
    • Pulsing red dot in the top-right of any tab with unread
      messages, subtle 2-second sine pulse, respects
      Configuration.ReduceMotion.

    Top tabs:

    • Accent underline pill on the active tab instead of the old
      background fill. Icon prefixes were attempted but reverted
      — Dalamud's default font atlas has no FontAwesome glyphs.

    Bottom status bar (22 px, 1×/sec cached):

    • Active channel with color dot, Privacy-First badge, tab +
      message counters, auto-tell counter (hidden at zero),
      plugin version (right-aligned, muted).

    Message rendering:

    • Card rows by default — sender header in channel color, body
      on its own line, subtle border between cards.
    • Compact-Density toggle in Appearance returns the classic
      single-line [HH:mm] Sender: Text layout.

    Bug fixes from in-game testing:

    • Settings save no longer wipes chat history. Refilter cycle
      only runs when filter-relevant settings actually changed
      (privacy, channel selection); cosmetic changes leave the
      chat intact. Persistent and Auto-Tell tabs both survive.
    • Hellion Schrift (Exo 2) no longer blocks font-size
      adjustment — 4K users can scale up properly.
    • Sidebar buttons align with the first message row, status
      bar version slot is no longer clipped.

    Migration v14 → v15: legacy theme fields removed
    (HellionThemeEnabled, HellionThemeWindowOpacity). All other
    settings preserved.

    Polish (lerps, theme crossfade, header quick-picker) follows
    in v1.3.0.

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