The About tab copy was hand-written in English directly in About.cs,
which left the German users on the upstream Chat 2 wording for the
Hellion-specific blocks. The copy itself also leaned on em-dashes
mid-sentence and on a tone that could read as accusing Chat 2 of
GDPR violations, which was never the intent. This commit moves the
six About-tab sections (Maintainer, Why this fork exists, Built on
Chat 2, License, FFXIV disclaimer, Localization) into HellionStrings
and tightens the wording in both languages.
Tone change is the substantive part. Chat 2's full-history default
is now described as "the right one for most users" rather than a
problem the fork is fixing, and the webinterface removal is framed
as a focus mismatch — Chat 2's webinterface targets remote chat
access from a second device, this fork targets a smaller default
footprint, neither approach is wrong. The personal trigger for the
fork (two million logged messages over two years, mostly /say and
/yell from strangers) stays as it is honest context rather than
criticism.
The same neutralised wording is mirrored in three more places that
described the webinterface removal: the README "Was gegenüber
Chat 2 fehlt" block, the HellionChat.yaml description and changelog,
and the matching repo.json fields. The 0.2.0 changelog no longer
recites the upstream auth-flow internals; "different use case,
substantial rebuild, removed" is enough for users.
Em-dashes were also removed from two body strings that previously
used them as comma replacements (Privacy filter storage-only help
and the retention default description). Heading-level dashes
("Hellion Chat — Welcome", "Export (GDPR Art. 15 — right of
access)") stay because dashes are appropriate as separators in
titles.
The Theme description was already inaccurate — it still talked
about slate-violet tabs and amber highlights even though the brand
sweep moved everything onto Arctic Cyan plus Ember Orange. Updated
to describe the current palette honestly.

"Description": "Hellion Chat is built on top of Chat 2 with one removal and a stack\nof privacy controls on top. Tabs, channel filters, RGB colours,\nemotes, screenshot mode, IPC integration and the chat replacement\nwindow itself work the same. The optional webinterface that Chat 2\nships is intentionally not part of this fork because it serves a\ndifferent use case from the smaller default footprint Hellion Chat\nis built around.\n\nOn top of that, Hellion Chat adds privacy and data-handling controls\ndesigned to align with the modern data protection rules that apply\nacross the EU, the United States and Japan. By default only your own\nconversations are stored; messages from strangers, NPCs and system\nspam stay out of the database. Retention windows are configurable per\nchannel, history can be wiped retroactively, and stored data can be\nexported on demand.\n\nKey additions on top of Chat 2:\n\n- Channel whitelist with a Privacy-First default\n- Per-channel retention with a daily background sweep\n- Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm\n- Export to Markdown, JSON or CSV\n- First-run wizard with three preset profiles (Privacy-First, Casual,\n Full History)\n- Bilingual UI (English and German) with live language switching\n- Independent plugin state — own config file and database directory,\n so Hellion Chat does not share state with the upstream plugin\n\nBased on Chat 2 by Infi and Anna, licensed under EUPL-1.2.",

"Changelog": "**Hellion Chat 0.2.0 — Webinterface removed**\n\nThe upstream webinterface has been removed in its entirety. It\nserves a different use case from the smaller default footprint\nthis fork is built around, namely remote access to chat from a\nsecond device. Aligning it with the data minimisation defaults\nHellion Chat ships with would have meant a substantial rebuild.\nRemoving it was the cleaner path for this particular fork.\n\nWhat changed in this release:\n\n- Settings tab \"Webinterface\" is gone, the corresponding\n Configuration fields (WebinterfaceEnabled / AutoStart / Password /\n Port / AuthStore / MaxLinesToSend) are dropped and stale entries\n fall out of the JSON on the next save automatically\n- The whole ChatTwo/Http tree, the bundled Svelte frontend in\n websiteBuild.zip and the WebinterfaceUtil helper are deleted\n- Watson.Lite (the HTTP server) and Newtonsoft.Json (only used by\n the webinterface JSON wire format) are removed from the\n package references\n- DbViewer's \"Chat2 JSON Export\" button is dropped because it\n serialised the database into the webinterface message protocol;\n the Privacy tab's MessageExporter (Markdown, JSON, CSV with\n channel and date filters) covers the same ground without the\n proprietary shape\n- About tab notes the absence so users coming from Chat 2 do not\n look for it\n- Configuration version bumps from 7 to 8 with a one-shot\n notification (EN + DE)\n\nNo changes to the privacy filter, retention sweep, first-run wizard\nor export pipeline. Existing chat history is preserved.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.2 — About tab rebrand, DBViewer polish**\n\n- About tab now shows Hellion-specific maintainer, license, EU/US/JP\n disclaimer and SQUARE ENIX disclaimer instead of the inherited\n Chat 2 contact info; original ChatTwo translator credits stay\n visible under a clearly labelled upstream tree node\n- Localization clarified: Hellion-specific German strings are\n maintained by the fork maintainer, the Crowdin contributor list\n only covers the inherited upstream strings\n- Cherry-picked DBViewer UI improvements from upstream Chat 2\n (auto-scroll-reset on page change, tooltips on date reset,\n folder export, page arrows, localized export-running messages)\n- README rewritten in the Hellion project style with a tech-stack\n table, architecture tree, database column list, install guide,\n upstream-sync workflow notes and project-status checklist\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.1 — Packaging and migration fixes**\n\n- Plugin icon now ships inside the bundle, so the Hellion logo\n renders locally in the Dalamud plugin list once installed (the\n previous release relied only on the remote IconUrl)\n- Plugin icon downsampled from 1024×1024 to 256×256 to match the\n rendered size; loads faster and caches better\n- Migration from upstream Chat 2 is more robust: each file move is\n wrapped individually, a locked SQLite database no longer aborts\n the rest of the migration, and a warning notification fires when\n any file is held open (with a hint to disable Chat 2 and restart\n the game)\n- README ships a step-by-step migration guide (fresh install versus\n coming from Chat 2) and a troubleshooting section with manual\n recovery commands for Linux and Windows\n\n**Hellion Chat 0.1.0 — Initial fork release**\n\nPrivacy\n- Channel whitelist filter in MessageStore.UpsertMessage with a\n Privacy-First default (own conversations only)\n- Per-channel retention with a 24-hour idempotent background sweep\n- Retroactive cleanup with a Ctrl+Shift confirm and VACUUM\n- Export to Markdown / JSON / CSV via Dalamud's file dialog\n\nOnboarding\n- First-run wizard with three profiles: Privacy-First / Casual /\n Full History\n- Configuration migration that seeds defaults on update\n- One-shot migration from upstream Chat 2's pluginConfigs layout\n- Migrate3 idempotency recovery for half-migrated databases\n\nLook & feel\n- Localized UI (English and German) with live language switching\n- Industrial HUD theme with cyan-teal action accents, slate-violet\n tabs, amber active highlights and a window-opacity slider\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).",
