        "Changelog": "**v1.5.4 — Polish and Motion (2026-05-20)**\n\nA polish cycle: smoother theme switching, faster theme and tab\naccess, and subtle hover motion. Three P3 items plus an\naccessibility toggle.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Theme switches now crossfade smoothly over ~300 ms across every\n  Hellion-rendered surface — sidebar, title, buttons, tabs,\n  scrollbar, separators. The window background snaps deliberately\n  so the per-window opacity override from Dalamud's pinning menu\n  stays untouched.\n- New header quick-picker: a palette button left of the cog opens\n  a compact popup with two sections — every built-in and custom\n  theme, and every tab. The active entry carries a check glyph;\n  clicking another switches without closing the popup.\n- Sidebar icons ease their opacity on hover, and card-mode message\n  borders highlight per tab while the cursor is over their rows.\n  Framerate-independent, so a stalled Wine frame cannot overshoot\n  the animation.\n- New \"Reduce motion\" toggle in Theme & Layout disables the\n  crossfade, the hover animations and the unread-tab pulse for\n  users who prefer a static UI.\n\nUnder the hood:\n\n- Two pure-helper lerp paths (ThemeAbgrCacheLerp, FrameLerp) with\n  xUnit coverage in the Build Suite, plus a ColourUtil.ApplyAlpha\n  alpha modulator. Two new /xlperf self-test steps pin the\n  crossfade and quick-picker contracts.\n\nNo schema bump, no migration. Migration v17 stays.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)**\n\nMulti-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands\nas a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- 24 selectable UI languages (was 2). Catalan, Czech, Danish,\n  Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian,\n  Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese\n  (BR + PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,\n  Ukrainian, Simplified + Traditional Chinese. Sorted by endonym,\n  \"None\" pinned first. Non-native locales are AI-assisted and\n  flagged for native-speaker review via the Forge Discord.\n- Bundled Inter Light replaces Exo 2 (SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB). The\n  Inter font ships Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic and\n  Cyrillic Supplement coverage; NotoSansCjkRegular joins as a\n  third merge layer for Hangul and Simplified-Han glyphs the\n  FFXIV Japanese game font does not ship.\n- First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms (v1.5.2 baseline that\n  held since v1.4.x) to a median of ~20 ms (5-reload sample\n  17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine). The bundled-font path silently\n  fell back to the FFXIV Axis font for the entire v1.5.x series\n  because of an early-return in the draw loop. The fix that\n  routes RegularFont through draw also lands the defer-pattern\n  win the v1.5.1 cycle was reaching for.\n- ExtraGlyphRanges auto-activates on language change. Korean,\n  ChineseFull and the two new flags (LatinExtended, Greek) toggle\n  on without a manual visit to Fonts and Colours.\n- New WarningText under the language dropdown notes FFXIV's\n  chat input only fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA character sets.\n  Other languages render in HellionChat but may garble when\n  typed into in-game chat.\n\nUnder the hood:\n\n- Three-layer font stack: Inter Light primary, FFXIV\n  JapaneseFont merge 1 for kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular\n  merge 2 for everything else CJK.\n- LanguageOverride enum gains ten locales plus three previously\n  commented out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian as `nb`). New\n  values append to the enum so existing config integers stay\n  stable across update.\n- Crowdin gap closed: four post-sync ChatTwo keys backfilled\n  into 13 legacy locales with per-key AI markers.\n- Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the\n  matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag for users already on a\n  non-default language. Settings.Apply auto-activates on\n  change going forward.\n- Em-dash sweep across the EN source and 18 translations to the\n  house style. Russian and Ukrainian keep the typographic norm.\n\nMigration v17 stays. UseHellionFont users transition from Exo 2\nto Inter Light transparently on first reload.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.2 — 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 → Privacy profile → Power settings\n  → 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 ★ 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 —\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\nFull history: https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases",
