        "Changelog": "**v1.5.2 \u2014 First-Run Wizard Rework (2026-05-18)**\n\nUX patch. The first-run wizard becomes a four-step flow with a\nnew Roleplay privacy profile and a power-settings step that\nsurfaces previously-hidden defaults. Existing v1.5.1 users see\nthe new wizard once on first v1.5.2 boot.\n\nWhat changes user-visible:\n\n- Wizard navigation: Welcome \u2192 Privacy profile \u2192 Power settings\n  \u2192 Done. Forge-Bronze pagination dots, dedicated stage for the\n  power settings so they are no longer buried in Settings.\n- Fourth privacy profile \"Roleplay\": Privacy-First plus Say and\n  both emote types, with a 30-day window for Say and a 90-day\n  window for emotes. Shout, Yell and Novice Network stay out.\n- Privacy picker becomes a 2x2 grid. Casual stays the\n  recommended option with a \u2605 marker.\n- Power-settings step covers Load Previous Session, Filter\n  Include Previous Sessions, Auto-Tell-Tabs History Preload,\n  Compact Density, Prettier Timestamps and a built-in theme\n  picker. All six map to existing Configuration fields \u2014 no new\n  settings introduced.\n- Staged commit: the wizard only writes to Config on the Finish\n  step. Decide-later or X-close at any point leaves the existing\n  config untouched.\n- Inline test hint on the done step: \"type /tell <Player Name>\n  into chat\" surfaces the auto-tell-tab spawn mechanism.\n- Window starts at 720x480 (was 900x560) and can shrink to\n  600x400; Step 1 keeps the fox banner in a folded TreeNode so\n  the onboarding copy stays primary.\n- Existing users get the new wizard surfaced once on first boot\n  after the update via the new WizardLastShownVersion config\n  field. Future cycles bump the constant only when the wizard\n  itself changes shape.\n\nUnder the hood:\n\n- WizardStateSmokeStep added to /xlperf alongside the FontManager\n  and ThemeSwitch self-tests.\n- Twelve new pure-helper xUnit Facts in the Build Suite cover\n  all four privacy profile sets and their retention overrides.\n\nMigration v17 stays (no schema bump). The Configuration grows\none optional string field (WizardLastShownVersion) which\ndefaults to empty for legacy users.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.1 \u2014 FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**\n\nHybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.\n\nWhat changes under the hood:\n\n- FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single\n  atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds once\n  per plugin load instead of four to five times \u2014 less CPU and GPU\n  pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less atlas texture\n  memory churn.\n- Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become\n  init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable because\n  the eight font settings still need to replace them at runtime \u2014\n  that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts() now and\n  runs without a plugin reload.\n- FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle\n  instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build step\n  less in the ctor.\n- BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation\n  path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.\n- Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor\n  smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas\n  load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).\n\nHonorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item) was\ndropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient\nframe, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was declined.\nThe integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is\n  emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner\n  with \"Hellion Forge\" set inside the body is available as a\n  folded TreeNode in the First-Run Wizard and Settings ->\n  Information tab. Drawn by Julia Moon, embedded in the plugin DLL.\n- No settings changes, no migration. v17 stays.\n\nNote on performance: the cross-plugin baseline target from v1.5.0\n(matching Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger at ~7 ms HITCH) did\nnot land this cycle. HITCH stays around 80 ms because the cost is\nin the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build\n(which this cycle did reduce from 4-5 builds per load to 1). A\nfirst-frame render investigation is reserved for a later cycle.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.0 \u2014 DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**\n\nMajor architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a\ngeneric-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +\nIServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging\nmoves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed\nMicrosoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T> via constructor injection,\nbridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.\n\nWhat changes under the hood:\n\n- 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger<T> via constructor\n  injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,\n  MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations\n  (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three\n  GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,\n  DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,\n  ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).\n- Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor\n  injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,\n  AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected\n  types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance\n  classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one\n  GameFunctions site).\n- Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines \u2014 virtually identical to the\n  pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge\n  wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations\n  that previously lived in LoadAsync.\n- Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against\n  Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2\n  74 ms median. Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around\n  7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past Finished\n  loading \u2014 that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the\n  chat input (Friend List \"/tell\" action, plugin-driven inserts\n  from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing\n  input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo\n  upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.\n\nMigration v17 stays (no schema bump).\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.4.10 \u2014 Symbol-Picker and Tell-History Fix (2026-05-16)**\n\nEleventh and final sub-patch of the v1.4.x polish-sweep series.\nSymbol picker for the chat input, a tell-history reload fix for\nusers with many active partners, and a closing cleanup sweep\nbefore v1.5.0 picks up the DI-container adoption.\n\n- Symbol picker: a small smile-icon button left of the channel\n  indicator opens a popup with two tabs. The first lists all 161\n  FFXIV PUA glyphs (Dalamud's SeIconChar enum); the second\n  carries 97 server-verified BMP symbols (latin marks, currency,\n  the full Greek alphabet, geometric shapes, suits, notes) \u2014\n  every one of them round-tripped through /echo and /say in a\n  four-round probe so the in-channel render matches what the\n  picker shows. Click drops the glyph at the caret, multi-insert\n  keeps the popup open, and a recent-used strip floats the last\n  sixteen picks across both tabs. Toggle in Settings \u2192 Chat \u2192\n  Message behaviour, default on.\n- Pinned auto-tell tabs reload their full history again: a\n  hidden 500-row scan cap in PreloadHistory used to override the\n  user-configurable AutoTellTabsHistoryPreload setting, so\n  less-frequent pinned partners (rare /tell sessions in an\n  otherwise busy week) lost their backlog. The cap is removed;\n  the (Receiver, Date) index keeps SQL fast, the client-side\n  loop still respects your setting as the upper bound.\n- Slash-command teardown: /hellion, /hellionView,\n  /hellionDebugger (and #if DEBUG /hellionSeString) wrappers are\n  now cached as private fields. Plugin teardown detaches the\n  live registration instead of re-Register'ing with identical\n  args \u2014 closes a latent maintenance hazard from v1.4.9.\n- v1.4.x polish-sweep wraps up here. The ImGuiListClipper render\n  refactor that was on the v1.4.10 reserve list got dropped\n  after cross-platform smoke showed the scroll rubber-band is a\n  Wine / Linux render-pipeline quirk, not universal \u2014 Windows\n  users never saw it. It will get its own platform-targeted\n  spike in a later patch. Next major cycle is v1.5.0 with the\n  DI-container adoption (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +\n  ILogger<T>) modelled on Lightless.\n- Migration v17 stays (no schema bump).\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\nFull history: https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases",
