JonKazama-Hellion 1b63765caa docs: community standards, privacy notice and release-body automation
Closes the remaining gaps in GitHub's community-standards check, adds
explicit privacy and dependency documentation matching the plugin's
"DSGVO-by-design" claim, and removes the stale upstream Crowdin
artefact so the repo no longer suggests it ships its own translation
pipeline.

New community-health files:

- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: project-specific, short and direct, single
  reporting path to kontakt@hellion-media.de
- CONTRIBUTING.md: scope, accepted vs declined contributions, build
  and test instructions, EUPL-1.2 contribution terms, translation
  policy split between Hellion-specific (here) and upstream strings
  (Chat 2 repo)
- SUPPORT.md: routing for bugs, security, privacy and casual feedback
- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: summary, change-type checklist,
  testing notes, compatibility notes for migrations and manifest
  fields, contribution checklist
- .github/FUNDING.yml: comments-only file, no platforms enabled,
  points donors at the upstream Chat 2 maintainers' Ko-fi pages

New privacy and compliance documentation:

- PRIVACY.md: what the plugin stores locally (config, SQLite,
  EmoteCacheV1), retention defaults, the two outbound network calls
  (BetterTTV API+CDN with ShowEmotes opt-out, Square Enix Lodestone
  font once-off), explicit no-telemetry statement, GDPR
  Art. 15/17/18/20/21 rights mapped to plugin features, third-party
  privacy-policy links
- THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md: direct NuGet dependencies with versions
  pinned to v0.5.4 (MessagePack, Microsoft.Data.Sqlite, morelinq,
  Pidgin, SixLabors.ImageSharp under Six Labors Split License 1.0),
  Dalamud SDK and .NET tooling, bundled Exo 2 font (OFL-1.1) and
  plugin icon, network-touch status per component, re-audit commands

Crowdin cleanup:

- crowdin.yml deleted (was upstream Chat 2's project_id 663694,
  pointed at /ChatTwo/Resources/Language.resx, never wired to
  HellionChat strings)
- README, CONTRIBUTING and CODE_OF_CONDUCT no longer suggest
  HellionChat operates a Crowdin project; remaining mentions are
  explicitly framed as upstream Chat 2's workflow

Contact and version consistency:

- Maintainer email switched from maintainer@hellion-media.de to
  kontakt@hellion-media.de in SECURITY.md and NOTICE.md
- README version references updated to 0.5.4 (header, project status
  block) and the update-tag pattern generalised from v0.1.x to v0.X.Y
- bug_report.yml version placeholder bumped to 0.5.4
- Project-documents table added to README footer linking all health
  and reference files in one place

Release-body automation:

- .github/workflows/release.yml now extracts the matching version
  block from ChatTwo/HellionChat.yaml's changelog and combines it
  with a static install / docs footer (custom-repo URL, project
  document links, licence) before passing the result to
  softprops/action-gh-release@v3 via body_path
- Workflow fails fast if no changelog block exists for the tagged
  version, automating the existing "yaml + repo.json + release body
  kept in sync" rule
- Tag value passed via env: TAG_NAME with strict ^v\d+\.\d+\.\d+$
  validation before any string concatenation, so the tag input cannot
  break out into shell evaluation

Code of conduct

HellionChat is a small hobby project. The contributor base is tiny and the moderation overhead I can afford is equally small, so this document is short and direct.

What I expect from contributors

  • Be respectful in issues, pull requests, discussions and any other project space (Discord, email).
  • Keep feedback focused on the code, the design or the documentation. Critique the work, not the person.
  • Assume good intent. People come from different backgrounds, time zones and skill levels. A clarifying question is almost always a better first move than an accusation.
  • Stay on topic. This project is about a Dalamud chat plugin. Off-topic arguments belong elsewhere.
  • Respect that I maintain this in my spare time. Replies can take a few days. Please do not escalate just because a thread is quiet.

What is not welcome

  • Personal attacks, slurs, doxxing, sustained disruption of threads.
  • Unsolicited private contact after I have asked someone to stop.
  • Sharing of private conversations without consent.
  • Any content that would put other contributors or end users at risk.

Scope

This applies to every space the project owns or that I run on its behalf: the GitHub repository, GitHub Discussions, project-related Discord conversations and the maintainer email address listed in SECURITY.md.

It also applies when someone is identifiably representing the project in another space, for example posting as a HellionChat maintainer in the Dalamud Discord.

Reporting

If something here is being broken, contact me directly. Do not open a public issue.

  • Email: kontakt@hellion-media.de
  • Discord DM: @j.j_kazama

Reports stay private. I will acknowledge within a few weekdays (European business hours) and tell you what I plan to do.

Enforcement

I am the sole maintainer, so enforcement is a single-person process. Depending on what happened and how the person responds, I will pick the lightest measure that resolves the issue:

  1. Private note asking the behaviour to stop.
  2. Public correction in the affected thread.
  3. Edit or removal of the offending content.
  4. Temporary block from the repository or related spaces.
  5. Permanent block.

Severe cases skip the lower steps. I will not negotiate over harassment or threats.

Acknowledgement

This document is intentionally short and project-specific rather than a copy of a longer template. If you need a more formal reference, the Contributor Covenant is a widely adopted starting point and the spirit of this document is compatible with it.
